Yuanlong

Chapter 345
Chapter Two Hundred and Two
Song Guo was shaking now.Not only was Qian Jedi the first to use it, but Song was also the first vassal state to be established.

By the way, the emperor initially conferred Song Hongde as Marquis of Song, that is, Marquis.But because the Song State was the first to attach to and support the emperor, the emperor recently issued another edict, passing on the order of the emperor, and the Marquis of Song was promoted to the Duke of Song, and the Marquis was promoted to the Duke.It is also the one with the highest title among the princes who are willing to accept the canonization of the Son of Heaven.

The other princes want to be entrusted, sorry, at the beginning, they can only give it to the Marquis. Who told you that you are not the first to support the emperor?However, the Son of Heaven also gave everyone a word that as long as there is sincerity, almost everyone will be granted the title of Duke within a year or so, but the time should be staggered.

In addition, the princes of various countries must also be able to do something. I dare not say that they have made any great achievements, but they should always flatter the emperor. The emperor has a reason to elevate everyone's titles to performances such as offering sacrifices during festivals and festivals!Otherwise, you can't convince the public, right?
In the past, the head of the Song family became the monarch of the Song country, and the heads of the families who were on the same level as Song Hongde were jealous of what he was playing now.Even if it is said that the canonization of the emperor is moved, the meeting will be one level lower than Song Gong, a head shorter, who made his family not decisively jump out to support the emperor at that time?
By persecution?Who dares to jump out first, it is estimated that several people around will jump out immediately and beat him down violently.Isn't this a great off-the-shelf contribution?It's okay to be a duke, right?

No one is willing to jump out and use it as a stepping stone for others to get promoted and get rich, so they can only endure it honestly.What's more, the Song Dynasty agreed with other families to suppress the emperor?
Now, all the aristocratic families are staring at Song Guo eagerly, looking enviously at the tall things they play, which are different from themselves.

Each family is still guarding their own nests. The better ones are called gardens or manors, and the second ones are called pavilions or pavilions. But look at the Song Family Manor. It is no longer called the Song Family Manor, but renamed Song The palace is gone.

The city where the palace is located is now called the capital.Naturally, it is a head taller than any city or country.

When each family was still running its own small business, Song Gong had already started to govern a country.The construction of the palace, the construction of the capital, and the appointment of local officials from various places, what kind of prestige is that?This is much higher than each family appointing a big shopkeeper in charge of a certain city or something!
What makes the heads of the families most envious is that when everyone travels, they are surrounded by the front and the back, but they are accompanied by the family's bodyguard children, and there are at most a few personal maids or something.But what is Song Gong's posture when he travels now?What style?
The Royal Forest Army of the Song Dynasty, the full set of ceremonial guards rewarded by the emperor, eunuchs and maids, imperial guards, accompanying historians, whatever they take out, they are all so tall that they make people feel ashamed.

Now when the heads of the various families see Song Hongde, they don't say anything else, just looking at their current style and etiquette when they travel, they can compare them to country bumpkins and old hats.

The royal family, no, the emperor and his courtiers obviously thought of using Song Gong as the best example to set an example for other aristocratic families that they couldn't stop.Do you want to be so grand?Come and accept the canonization of the Son of Heaven!

Not to mention the clever means, if Wang Sheng comes to comment, Wang Sheng will be surprised. The royal family has even created an advertising spokesperson, and it is so successful. This sales method is simply admirable. Those educated literati Boys, it's really handy to play this set!
In just two months, almost all the aristocratic families expressed their intention to request canonization to the emperor.Not only these aristocratic families, but even those sects couldn't sit still, and jumped out one after another, demanding canonization.

The emperor quickly invited the representatives of each family to the capital, gathered together, and then expressed his meaning.

First of all, according to the size of the territory and the size of the influence, the various forces must obtain different titles.Everyone has to accept this point, otherwise a local rich man who is domineering in a radius of ten miles can sit on an equal footing with the head of a big family occupying a territory of thousands of miles. Even if the emperor is willing to do this, those big families and powerful forces will not agree.

Secondly, this time the knighthood can only reach the Marquis at the highest.Then within a year or two, the marquis with sufficient strength will be promoted to duke one after another.The reason is the same as above, and the sincerity of all parties should be taken into consideration.

As for who is higher and who is lower, you first have to find a Zichou Yinmao, and then the emperor will judge.

The royal family is really proud this time.Who would have thought that before the government orders could not leave the capital, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were just decorations, and the royal family, which had never been looked at seriously, was actually so sought after this time.

And the cause of all this turned out to be just a small reminder from Wang Sheng.Who would have thought?Of course, it is not ruled out that the old eunuch Li at that time was smart enough and loyal enough, and this has brought about a great increase in the current status of the royal family.

Don't look at just changing from the emperor to the emperor, but now the emperor's right to speak has increased a lot.In order to get a higher title, those aristocratic families wished they could kneel down and lick the emperor.In the previous royal family, where was there such a beautiful moment?
Thinking that as long as the princes and titles are properly controlled, the royal family will be able to secretly control the conflicts of all parties, artificially create conflicts of interest, and even intervene in the competition for candidates for the next generation of the major princes. The actual influence of the royal family is unknowingly It expanded at least five times as much as before. At this time, the emperor was so happy that he couldn't help himself.

For Wang Sheng, the initiator of this suggestion, the emperor appreciated it very much.This is also due to the royal family's close attitude towards Wang Sheng from the very beginning, especially the two hard-working old eunuchs.

The shadow old eunuch of Wuyou City is definitely the first person who made the two sides establish a friendly relationship.Later, the old eunuch Li worked even harder. If he hadn't beheaded Wang Sheng in time to show favor to Wang Sheng when the guard commander wanted to control Wang Sheng, he probably wouldn't have gotten this reminder from Wang Sheng.

Both of them had great rewards, and the old eunuch Li directly conferred the title.Although he is only the second-class viscount among the fifth-class titles of male princes and uncles, it is already the pinnacle of glory for an eunuch to be titled by the emperor himself.

The old shadow eunuch was also knighted, baron.However, this title did not fall on his own head, but on the head of a promising nephew of the Shadow family, who is also a descendant of Mengyin.When the news reached Wuyou City, the old eunuch Ying voluntarily jumped to Wang Sheng's house where there were only maids and cooks, and forced the cook to cook a table of delicious dishes, and drank wine all night by himself.

This time, the emperor made a lot of money!
