Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2636 The Gift of Nine Tins
Li Ji was deeply worried.

After all, His Majesty Li Er won the throne back then, and won the world by means of killing brothers and brothers. If this kind of "reverse seizing" is passed on from generation to generation, anyone with the blood of the royal family can compete for the throne. The system inherited by Zong Zhen will be useless, and the world may no longer be stable...

It's a pity that His Majesty is wise all his life, but now he is confused about the succession of the reserve, and he will not listen to anyone's dissuasion and insist on going his own way.

I don't know how it will end in the future...

Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy, and he retorted: "But what will the people of the world think? They haven't seen the crown prince planting these crops with his own hands, so they will naturally think that this is the crown prince's meritorious deeds. If the prince of a country grabs merits like this, how can he Convince the world?"

Xiao Yu smiled, and asked back: "Then in Zhao Guogong's opinion, such feats that are astonishing in history and comparable to Houji can only be done by Fang Jun alone, and he alone can receive it?"

The muscles on Changsun Wuji's cheeks twitched, and he fell silent.

Such feats cannot be compared with a victory. The so-called expansion of the territory cannot be compared with such feats that benefit the people and are enough to bless the world.If the prince's role in it is not recognized, then all the meritorious deeds will fall on Fang Jun's head. What kind of reward will a courtier receive for such meritorious deeds?
It is not an exaggeration to crack the soil and seal the king!

Even if you are concerned about the sentiments of the nobles in Guanlong and the possible rebuttals from the court, at least one of the Founding Dukes must be conferred!

Even the album of meritorious service of Lingyan Pavilion that His Majesty is preparing recently has to have a place for Fang Jun...

If talking about the person who hates Fang Jun the most in the world, it must be Changsun Wuji.

In order to prevent the prince from gaining greater prestige, this matter has to single-handedly push Fang Jun to a peak in his political career, how can he be willing?
But weighing the balance, he is even more reluctant to see the prince's prestige suddenly rise and his position stabilize. Fang Jun's momentary gain in power is certainly unacceptable to him, but once the prince is firmly seated as the crown prince, and the king of Jin has no hope of competing for the crown prince, that will be even more so. The end of the Guanlong nobles, especially the eldest grandson's family.

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth, and said with emotion: "Although I despise Fang Junzhi as a man, but to be honest, Fang Jun has contributed a lot to this matter, and I beg Your Majesty to reward him."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and asked calmly: "Then according to Zhao Guogong, how should we reward him?"

This is the situation he would like to see, he can't just throw King Jin out to compete for the crown, and then encounter such a blow; at the same time, Fang Jun is a courtier he sincerely admires, and Fang Jun has not been able to achieve the same feats as he has been suppressed many times before. He himself felt ashamed of the matching status and treatment.

Since the idea of ​​suppressing Fang Jun and leaving it to the prince to be kind is no longer feasible, he would naturally like to see Fang Jun increase his official rank.

Changsun Wuji was taken aback, he didn't expect the emperor to ask him how to reward Fang Jun, how would he answer?

As long as he thinks that Fang Jun is about to become one of the few big bosses in the court, he feels that it is a stab in his heart. If he is still asked to reward Fang Jun himself, he will be unloved...

But the power of two evils is the lesser, compared to the sudden rise in the prince's prestige and stable position, he can't care about the grievances with Fang Jun, gritted his molars and said: "Such achievements are enough to seal the Duke Kai!"

His Majesty Li Er nodded, then asked Li Ji and Xiao Yu, "What do you two lovers think?"

Li Ji and Xiao Yu looked at each other, and they both understood that this was His Majesty Li Er's will. Although they didn't dare to disobey too much, they also said bravely: "Fang Jun has made great achievements, but the prince participated in this matter and took full control of it." In short, it is unavoidable to be biased without mentioning it afterwards. I implore Your Majesty to grant the crown prince the right to supervise the country!"

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment.

In fact, as long as the emperor trusts the prince, the prince will naturally have the power to supervise the country, but this power comes from the emperor's instruction, that is to say, the emperor asks you to supervise the country. The emperor can also let other important ministers come to supervise the country.

However, once the crown prince is given the power to supervise the country, it means that whether the emperor is on a personal expedition, travels in subdued clothes, or is seriously ill and unable to treat affairs, the crown prince will automatically have the power to supervise the country without the emperor's permission.

This power is too heavy!

Changsun Wuji felt His Majesty Li Er's dissatisfaction, and his eyes frequently hinted at him. Naturally, he did not want the crown prince to be given the power of supervising the country, and was about to open his mouth to refute, when suddenly his heart moved, and he said: "How important is the power of supervising the country? What's more, the main contributor to Jiahe Xiangrui is Fang Jun, if the crown prince wins this heavy reward, someone will advise His Majesty to make Fang Jun the Duke of Yue and bestow Jiuxi!"

The other three were dumbfounded.

motherfucker!

Give Jiuxi? !How dare you say it!
What is "Jiuxi"?Also known as "Nine Bestowments", it is nine kinds of ritual utensils bestowed by the emperor to princes and ministers. , bows and arrows, arrows...

The gift of "Nine Tins" is the highest courtesy of the feudal dynasty.

Not to mention whether Fang Junzhi's meritorious deeds can bear the "Nine Tin" ceremony, let's see who has received such supreme courtesy in history. In order to order the princes, his son destroyed Han and established Wei; Sun Quan was awarded Jiuxi by Cao Wei, and later rebelled against Cao Wei to establish himself as emperor and established Dongwu; Sima Yi and Sima Zhao's father and son were both awarded Jiuxi by Cao Wei, and later replaced Cao Wei as Jin; Huanxuan received the Nine Tins, and later proclaimed himself emperor and established Chu; the founding emperors of the four dynasties of the Southern Dynasties, Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan, and Chen Baxian, all received Nine Tins from the previous dynasty, and then turned around to establish a new dynasty...

But those who receive the Nine Tins are the masters of great merit and powerful ministers, who have no seals or rewards. Most of them are not satisfied with the status quo, and then seek to usurp the throne and turn back the old master. For the former dynasty, None of these people are loyal ministers and good generals, and none of them are good things.

What is more important is that Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, received the nine tins of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then established the Sui Dynasty; Emperor Gaozu, Li Yuan, received the nine tins of the Sui Dynasty, and then established the Tang Dynasty...

Where is this the supreme courtesy bestowed on Fang Jun?
It is clear that they want to flatter and kill!
Once Fang Jun is obsessed with such a special encounter with a powerful minister through the ages, and then accepts it calmly, he will definitely become a target of public criticism. Even the prince who used to obey his words and regard him as a humerus is bound to feel jealous and create estrangement.

Li Ji hurriedly said: "It is absolutely impossible! Fang Jun's meritorious service is no less than Houji, but how can the gift of nine bestowments be given lightly? It will definitely lead to criticism from the government and the public! It is enough to confer the title of Duke of Yue... It is not appropriate , the ancient Yue Kingdom is the back cover of the King of Yue, how can it be awarded to Fang Jun? Please also choose a place to grant it to your majesty."

The land of the Yue Kingdom is the fiefdom of the Yue King Li Zhen, and it will be awarded to Fang Jun. What do you ask the Yue King to do?In turn, it will cause the entire royal family to hate Fang Jun. This eldest grandson Wuji deserves to be a sinister person, too bad.

Compared with Xiao Yu, apart from the alliance with Fang Jun, Li Ji regards him as his nephew, and he naturally does his part to eradicate such traps.As for Xiao Yu, apart from his intention to take advantage of Fang Jun, he also admired Fang Jun somewhat, but he had no affection for in-laws at all, so he didn't say a word and watched the fire from the other side.

His Majesty Li Er naturally understands the thoughts of the eldest grandson Wuji. He wants to support King Jin to compete with the eldest son, but it definitely does not mean that he is willing to see Fang Jun become the target of public criticism and break the future pillar of the imperial court. Only then slowly said: "The gift of nine bestowments must not be given lightly unless it is the inheritance of the ancestral temple. Although Fang Jun has made outstanding achievements, he still cannot receive the ultimate honor of such a minister. As for the title of Duke of Yue... Grant it, Li Zhen, that rebellious son, has always been lazy, lazy and neglectful of work, and I was very annoyed by him, so I chose a place near Guanzhong and granted it to Li Zhen, so that it can be closer to me, and I will take care of him."

Li Ji thought about it, and felt that the land of Yue State was a barbaric wilderness, not comparable to the richness and prosperity of the Wu land in the north of the Jiangjiang River, and the mountains and rivers were in chaos and all industries were withered. Presumably, Yue King Li Zhen was not very satisfied. It is also a surprise that the land is a fiefdom, so that he would not feel hatred for Fang Jun who robbed him of his territory, so he nodded and said: "Your Majesty is arbitrary, and I have no objection. It's just that His Royal Highness... how to do it?" Reward? After all, the crown prince has also participated in the cultivation of Golden Harvest, so neither awarding nor exempting him from courtesy will not only be unfair to the crown prince, but will also cause unnecessary misunderstandings between the government and the public, please think again, Your Majesty."

He is now a staunch henchman of the prince, completely different from Xiao Yu who is watching the tiger and waiting for opportunities to gain profits. Naturally, while protecting Fang Jun, he must also protect the interests of the prince.
