Chapter 517 The Decree
"Your Majesty knows clearly, Hong really didn't know that woman had a relationship with Tule Xizuo!" Zuoqiu Hong knelt on the ground, earnestly expressing his feelings.

The empress was sitting behind the case, and her eldest grandson Zhao'er knelt beside her to sort out the case for her.

After reading a memorial, the empress took up a pen and left a verdict.The eldest grandson Zhao'er judged that the review of the memorial had been completed, raised his hand and took it away from the empress, and spread out a new one in front of her.

The empress picked up the memorial again and read it carefully.She didn't seem to hear Zuoqiu Hong's statement at all.

Zuoqiu Hong didn't get a response for a long time, and slowly raised his head.Seeing Changsun Zhao'er shaking his head at him, he quickly lowered his head in a kowtow posture.

Ambergris is burning in the main hall, with sweet amber, fragrant wood, fresh fruit, and beautiful floral fragrances, all of which are blended and refreshing.All the servants of the maids stood on the outside, and the inner hall only had the Empress, the eldest grandson Zhao'er, and Zuoqiu Hong who was kneeling on the ground.

Zuo Qiuhong could almost hear the sound of the Empress dipping ink and pen. He heard the memorial being opened one by one by the eldest grandson Zhao'er, and put away one by one. The shaking of the candle shadow made him feel more and more uneasy.

Zuo Qiuhong didn't know how long he knelt, until he lost all feeling in his legs, and when he thought he was going to kneel and pass out in this long temple, he finally waited for the empress to speak.

"You really let me down." The empress spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, without the anger and blame Zuo Qiuhong imagined, but it made him panic even more.

"His Majesty……"

"That child, how are you going to arrange it?"

Zuoqiu Hong was completely unprepared that the empress would throw this question to him.

He didn't dare to be careless, and replied after careful consideration: "Your Majesty, the child said that the child is the blood of the minister's minister, but who can prove it? It is not impossible for the child to enjoy the glory and wealth and let him pretend to be the blood of the royal family."

"Besides, she actually has contacts with Tule Xizuo. It's hard to guarantee whether the child has been instigated since childhood." Zuoqiu Hong would never admit this trouble back, he said, "It is better to kill by mistake than to let go, so this child Can't stay."

After listening to his words, the empress did not make any comments, but only asked, "Have you seen that child?"

Zuoqiu Hong was taken aback, shook his head and said, "Never."

The child was taken back to the Ministry of Punishment together with Liu Xiaoxiao, and Liu Xiaoxiao committed suicide by swallowing gold the next day, and no one knew the whereabouts of the child.

Hearing the empress's question, Zuoqiu Hong realized that the child should have been taken away by the empress.

He didn't understand why the empress would spend so much energy on a wild species of unknown origin.

"Okay, I understand, you can step back."

Zuo Qiuhong was stunned again.

Is this the end?

But he didn't make it easy because of this. According to common sense, it is impossible to expose this matter so simply.The empress didn't get angry and didn't convict, he didn't even have a chance to defend himself.

"Zhao'er, serve me to rest." The female emperor said, "Call Yizhi over here, I haven't heard him play the piano for a long time."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eldest grandson Zhao'er helped the Empress to get up, and summoned Gong'e who was standing outside, and sent one person out to call Wei Yizhi, and the rest prepared for the Empress to rest.Zuoqiu Hong still knelt on the spot, but was regarded as air by everyone.

……

The next day is also the last day of the first month.

The empress issued three imperial decrees directly on the early court, and the first one canonized Zuo Qiuyao as the king of Guannei.The fiefdom Guannei Road is located on the west side of Hedong Road and the north side of Gyeonggi-do.

The second way is to add Duji Province to Zuoqiu Yue's fief as a reward for his great contribution in governing Henan Province and arresting Tule Xizuo.

It is difficult to get to the west of Dugi-do, the south of Hadong-do, the east of Hanam-do, and the west of Gyeonggi-do.In this way, Zuoqiu Yue's fief extends to Linhai in the east and the capital in the west, and the narrow strip on the east side of the capital is completely controlled by the Henan Palace.

The third way is to merge Shannan Dongdao into Changsun Jingxu's fiefdom, and also reward him for his outstanding achievements in Huainan Dao, and at the same time make great contributions in arresting Tule Xizuo.

Shannan East Road is on the west side of Huainan Province and the south side of Dugi Province, and is also connected to Gyeonggi Province.Changsun Jingxu's fief is the same as Zuo Qiuyue's, connecting the capital to the west and the coast to the east, which is a long and narrow strip across the south of Zuo Qiuyue's fief.

The case of Tu Lexi has not yet come to an official conclusion, and the empress dropped three bombs in a row.The minister with a bad heart was almost stunned in the early court hall.

"Your Majesty, is this going to imitate the ancient law and implement the system of enfeoffment?" As soon as the morning court was over, the officials immediately gathered together in twos and threes to discuss.Gu Qingshan found his old friend Li Jingjie.

"There are fifteen Dao in the world, Guannei Dao, Hedong Dao, Henan Dao, Duji Dao, Huainan Dao, Shannan Dong Dao, the most important six Dao are designated as fiefdoms."

Even under the enfeoffment system, there was no such thing.

In ancient times, the emperor divided the feudal titles, and all the princes were assigned to remote places to open up wasteland.Now the empress's enfeoffment has actually divided all the strategic areas around the capital.

And looking at the current kings in the court, which one is easy to decide?They are not blood brothers, how should they deal with this situation when the next emperor ascends the throne?
Do you go to war when you ascend the throne?

"Your Majesty has her own considerations." Li Jingjie thought for a long time before answering this sentence.

"Sigh." Gu Qing Shan let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing?" Li Jingjie asked.

"Not for one thing." Gu Qingshan asked back, "There are so many piles since the beginning of the year, which one does not need to sigh?"

The series of incidents caused by the pair of mother and child at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival first made Jingzhao Mansion, Dali Temple and the Imperial Army busy, and then made the officials of Honglu Temple grey.Now that the first month has not gone out yet, the Dali Dynasty has produced a fourth prince with real power and fiefdom, and the fiefdoms of the other two already powerful princes have been directly doubled.

The first month of the year was so unsatisfactory, and it was difficult for these officials to be optimistic about the next month of Yuanheng's fifth year.

Civil and military officials are discussing, and the literati are not far behind.Especially the students in Taixue, because of their family relationship, they are often the first folks to hear the news.

"A new Guannei king has been appointed, and the fiefdoms of the Henan king and the Huainan king have doubled, but there is no movement from the Hedong king." A student asked, "What's going on?"

"The King of Henan and the King of Huainan both received rewards for their meritorious service. Have you heard that the King of Hedong has any credit for arresting Tule Xizuo?"

"But what about the newly crowned Guannei King, what merits has he made?"

This question caught a large number of people.

"Meng Shen, you are close to Shizi Xiao, you must know something we don't know." A student put his arm around Meng Shen's shoulders, looking like two brothers, "Tell me?"

Meng Shen didn't know this person well, so he kept away from him without any trace: "A Yan has nothing to do with political affairs."

"Besides, he has already left God's City many days ago. I'm afraid we haven't got the news yet."

"I seem to have heard some gossip about this." A pushy student took the initiative to attract everyone's attention.

"What gossip?"

"Yeah, let's talk quickly."

"It's like this. In the past few days, news has spread that the child held by that woman at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is actually the blood of King Hedong."
