Chapter 1159 Princess Ningguo

Chapter 610 Princess Ningguo

People in the capital probably have never seen the representatives of the major vassal states rushing from the palace to their guild hall as fast as a rabbit hit by an arrow, and they were finally lucky enough to see this scene today.

After the emperor announced the second clause, the representative of the Tang family stood up on the spot, recounted it and confirmed it to the emperor.After receiving the affirmative answer from the emperor, and the emperor even took out two edicts for everyone to see, he stamped the seal in front of representatives of all parties, and then sent someone to post it outside the palace.

One of them is the two that the emperor said just now, the meaning of the text is correct, it is what the emperor himself said and Elder Tang confirmed.Everyone watched the emperor stamp the seal, and there was no ambiguity at all.

The content of the second imperial decree is the imperial decree to make a woman a princess. Compared with the first, the second imperial decree is nothing.Isn't it just to make a woman a princess?Not to mention a mere princess, but a queen dowager, what matters to all parties?Isn't it supported by the royal family itself?As for what account the princess got, who would pay attention to such trivial things at this time?
All the representatives of the vassal states ran back to their respective guild halls immediately, and the first thing they did was to send back the emperor's intentions through a letter sent by Xunniao.Then he summoned the counselors in Beijing to figure out what the emperor meant by this.
All parties are guessing, but there is one thing that everyone has a common language, that is, they agree that the emperor is afraid.

From childhood to adulthood, the emperor has always been a kind of guy trying to survive in a crack.Who cares about the royal family?It was hard to rely on a system of enfeoffment to make everyone pay a little more respect to the emperor, and let everyone respectfully call him the emperor, but the actual status, the parties did not feel that there was any substantial improvement.

But it is different in recent years. The prosperity of the capital is increasing day by day. Since Wang Sheng entered the capital, all kinds of rare and good things have emerged one after another, and the enjoyment has also increased.

Different from the nightly singing and dancing in the capital, all parties are always working hard and fighting non-stop.It must be that these days all parties are fighting together, and the battle with the Shanyue Kingdom has made the emperor feel something. In order to prevent all parties from misunderstanding what the emperor has in mind, he put on such an attitude that even the walls of the inner city were ripped off. A clear signal from all parties that the emperor has no ambitions.

Of course, the tax collection is entirely the emperor's careful thought.Now that everyone has already expressed their attitudes so thoroughly, are all parties embarrassed not to give the emperor some benefits?What's more, the emperor didn't ask too much, he just wanted some gold coins. To be honest, it wasn't too much.

Isn't it just gold coins?Going to the capital to listen to a concert will cost 1000 gold coins per person, and buying a nice mansion will cost you 100 million gold coins, and 200% is only 200 million gold coins. Plus the tax on living and working in peace, it’s just [-] million gold coins for protection. gold. Is [-] million gold coins a lot?
If it is really troublesome, it is still troublesome to ask for the title.It is not a big deal for the kings of various countries to buy a title for their sons. A baron emperor only asks for 1000 million gold coins, which can be taken out casually.The problem is someone else's title.

Those elders and ministers of various families, who doesn't want to send their children and family members to a safe capital?Don't look at the emperor tearing down the city wall, but the more this is the case, the safer the capital appears.Whoever dares to touch someone's family in the capital is a public enemy of the world, and everyone will be punished, which is worse than Wang Sheng's situation when he was hunted down by the whole world.

In this case, it is actually their respective rulers who are most vulnerable to each other.Blank imperial decree was given by the emperor, and the title was also given, it only depends on whether you can seal it yourself.

Don't seal it, let the elders and ministers of each family chill.Seal it, you have to give it a fief. Isn't this just artificially creating a country within a country and causing the huge vassal country to fall apart?No matter how you look at it, it looks like the emperor's conspiracy.

Just as the leaders of all countries were in a dilemma, Tang Guo took the lead in taking measures.The fief still needs to be rewarded, but the meritorious officials who are awarded the title of the fief can only have the income after tax deduction of the fief, but they cannot participate in the management themselves.

This time, it seemed that the conflict between the titles and fiefs and the vassal states did not exist at once, and this was a result acceptable to all parties.So, everyone is happy.Those who wanted titles and fiefdoms got titles, fiefdoms, and even income from the fiefdoms.The vassal states did not fall apart because of this, and they were still complete vassal states.As for whether the emperor has achieved his goal, who cares?

In Changsheng's mansion in the capital, Director Li, a celebrity in front of the emperor, came to deliver the decree in person.Of course, Manager Li didn't dare to put on the scene where Wang Sheng and Meier knelt down to greet the imperial decree, and then burned incense and bathed to receive the imperial decree. , There was a smile on his face.

The emperor named Mei'er the princess of Ningguo, and gave her the surname Su. This is the first princess with a title since the emperor entrusted her with great ceremonies.Reward the eunuchs and maids of the mansion, a complete set of ceremonial guards, and the qualification to enter the palace at any time.

These things look ordinary, but that's just what's under the surface.The emperor showed his sincerity, and the development of the entire outer city of the capital, except for the scraping of the city walls, was handed over to Meier.That is to say, the entire tens of billions of projects were all handed over to Meier, and the amount of income was entirely based on Meier's wishes, and even a financial supervisor was not appointed.

"Slaves pay homage to Princess Ningguo!" Director Li was quite good at joking, Mei'er only accepted the imperial decree, but she already knelt down to meet the emperor on the other side.

"Director Li, please hurry up." Mei'er has been doing business in the capital for so many years, who is really powerful and who is ostentatious, still unclear?Mr. Li's style is completely loyal to the emperor, but it also has the meaning of making Meier happy.

Generally, under such circumstances, rewards must be given, but how can a person of Mr. Li's level value those small coins?The subordinates accompanied by Manager Li can offer rewards, but Manager Li cannot dismiss them easily.

"Old Li, do you, Lao Zhou, and Lao Shen have any spare money?" Before Mei'er had figured out how to get rid of Manager Li, Wang Sheng said next to him: "If you have any, send it to Meier." In my hands, Meier will be next to the jewelry shop, and each of you will be a part of it."

Not only did he not give rewards, but he also wanted money from others?If this were replaced by someone who was not clear-headed, he would definitely turn against Wang Heng Meier.But who is Manager Li, how could he not know how scary Meier's next jewelry shop would be to make money?This is simply Wang Sheng throwing gold pies to them, and they would be fools if they didn't grab them.
