"I don't know what Aiqing wants to report?" The old emperor had threats in his eyes, which meant that Duke Zhen should speak carefully.

"The Holy Majesty entrusted the six cities of King An, so can King An own all the resources and benefits of the entrusted land, and whether he has the obligation to guard the territory for the emperor? Does he need to pay certain taxes to the court regularly?" Zhen Guogong's three sentences "Yes "The voice was loud, and the voices of many ministers were also asked.

No one is stupid, they know exactly what cities are on Beixuan Kingdom Kanyu, where they are located, and how much they earn.

There was a glint of water in Wang An's drooping eyelashes, but he couldn't do anything, and couldn't even show a trace of expression.

"Duke Zhen's question is funny. Under the sky, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, are the ministers of the king? If every prince who is entrusted does not make offerings, how is this different from being a king on his own? "The Marquis of Huaiyin first stepped forward to attack the Duke.

The face of the old emperor above softened and immediately became gloomy, staring at Wang An who was sitting in a wheelchair below with burning eyes.

It's not that this son has never been hurt before, and it's not that he hasn't been proud of his ability. Unfortunately, he has a face that disgusts him. Seeing this face and seeing that his son's ability is getting stronger and stronger, he You can see the shadow of the person he least wants to see from this son.

"King An, what do you say?" The emperor directly threw the question to King An. Some ministers under him were particularly shameless towards the emperor, and some censors were also ready to move.

After the emperor saw it, his heart tightened. Those old guys didn't know how to manage the people below, so they gave him a death sentence every now and then. She didn't want to have a reputation in the history books for forcing the officials to death.

"Your Majesty, I have a question, please report it to your Majesty." Zhen Xihou stepped forward.

"can."

"The old minister thanked the Holy Majesty, what can the Holy Majesty say about the fiefdom he gave to King An? What's the use of the barren land as an offering?"

Marquis Wu'an secretly gave Zhenxihou a thumbs up. What kind of question is this?This is called questioning?After your old man speaks, he must explain clearly, and he almost shivered in fright.

He is not afraid of asking this question. He is worthy of everyone for what he has lived his whole life for at such an old age. He is worthy of the royal family, but the royal family is sorry for them. Legs become ill and bad for walking.

What is he afraid of?
Now even his granddaughter has to sacrifice due to party competition, why?
The corners of the lips of several courtiers twitched slightly, obviously wanting to say something, but thinking of what was explained to them last night, they could only lie dormant. It is difficult for Wang to become a great weapon without help, and this is what they should do now.

"Gu Aiqing, do you know what you're talking about?" The emperor was obviously angry, a courtier without any sense of proportion.

Zhen Xihou knelt on the ground respectfully, and said with tears in his eyes: "The Holy Majesty can entrust King An in any place, and the old minister naturally has no objection, but there is only one thing, the old minister asks the Holy Father to decree to dissolve the marriage contract between the old minister's granddaughter and King An , the old minister only has such a granddaughter, who has been weak since she was a child, how can she survive in such a place? Or, the Holy Majesty will not let King An and his family live in a fiefdom after King An gets married?"

The old man is quite old and has always been strong and strong, standing proudly in the world, but now for his granddaughter, he also bowed down, crying, looking at the gray hair, which made everyone's heart sour.

"I would like to ask the sage to dissolve my son's engagement with King An. I can defend against the enemy on the difficult frontier. I have nothing to say, and I am not afraid of hardships or tiredness. But only my little girl, I can't let her go to die. There is already a barren land over there, desolate and unpromising, plus it has a lot of tax debts..." The Duke was so choked up that he couldn't speak anymore.

"You are presumptuous, don't think that you have meritorious deeds, I will not dare to do you, the marriage contract bestowed by my golden words, can it be dissolved if it can be dissolved, can it be taken back if it is withdrawn?"

The old emperor was furious in thunder, pacing back and forth on the high platform with his hands behind his back, and his face was gloomy when he looked down, while the Duke of the State and the son-in-law of Zhenxi Hou and his son-in-law knelt down in fear and trepidation. The appearance made all the ministers feel uncomfortable Very, very uncomfortable.

Some dismissed it, and naturally some remembered the exploits of the son-in-law and his son-in-law.

Although they didn't say a word, they knelt down in unison and responded to the emperor with silence, and their hearts were just like Lord Zhen Guo and the others thought.

The old emperor's chest heaved extremely. Although he was a superior person, causing public anger was not what he wanted to see.

The second prince, the eldest prince, and the others saw that the old emperor was showing signs of compromise, and cast a jealous and veiled look at King An.

"Well, I haven't finished talking yet, but you are in a hurry to protect my own son, don't I know how distressed I am? But those who can do more work, my son can make great military exploits on the border, he has his own Wen Quxing's intelligence and talent, I believe that these cities will flourish like a brocade in my son's hands, and when this day really comes, I will have my own rewards, and my son's heart will never be chilled."

The old emperor has already said this, and the ministers must show face, let the old emperor step down, and win more benefits for King An.

For example, Duke Zhen Guo, Marquis Zhenxi, Marquis Wu An, and the prime minister raised their heads in surprise, and looked up at the wise old emperor with benevolent brows and kind eyes.

The old emperor was also very satisfied by the eyes of several people. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, at least his face was over.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are impatient, or the Majesty is thoughtful." Duke Zhen said immediately.

Difficulty also appeared on the emperor's face, and he managed to see the worry on the faces of the courtiers below, so he opened his mouth in satisfaction.

"No prince's fief is fully controlled and governed by the prince. This is the rule of the ancestors. Of course, I can't change it here. It is unfilial. The fief is taxed. I decide to exempt it. The income and resources are naturally mine. What I got, so that my son can show his strength even more and bring these cities to prosperity."

The old emperor's words can be regarded as a compromise. As for the officials in the enfeoffed land, they are naturally sent down by the court. King An is not qualified to intervene. As for the obligation to guard the territory?The emperor managed to get King An to hand over his military power, but how could he let King An succeed? Of course, he didn't want King An to intervene in all this.

And what he won for King An was nothing more than the resources and benefits of these cities, as well as tax exemption.

But Zhen Guogong and the others never thought that they could take the rights of these cities from the emperor to the hands of King An, and everything they gave King An was actually what they could think of. It is impossible to place personnel in several cities, and they are all the emperor's cronies.
