Become the king!

It’s still the kind who has a fiefdom and can act arbitrarily. What’s the difference between it and the local emperor?

Even if he is as calm as Wang Ning'an, he can't help but be moved. It's just that he has been dealing with Wen Yanbo for too long and knows that this old guy is full of calculating, so things will never be simple.

"Mr. Wen, I want to know why he was named king at this time?" Wang Ning'an said calmly.

Wen Yanbo looked like this, "Erlang, there are three main reasons for being the king at this time. First, it is that it has expanded thousands of miles of land and the court cannot manage it for the time being. It cannot send officials and cannot station so many soldiers. It must be responsible for the talent who stands alone, and Erlang is the best candidate."

The old guy's words were flattering, but the problem was obvious.

Suddenly, thousands of miles of land were added. According to the administrative divisions of the Song Dynasty, at least five roads could be divided. But the problem is that the population of this land is not as large as that of the entire Luoyang.

How to divide it?

As a government or a road, there are not enough officials to manage such a large place, but there are more administrative regions, which have too few populations and poor places, and cannot support a huge bureaucratic system.

If you have to make arrangements, you can only spend huge amounts of money to fill the gap.

The Song Dynasty does not have this financial resources yet.

So when designing it, only the Longyou Protectorate and the Western Regions Protectorate were added.

But the problem is that according to the model of the Protectorate, we must complete the tribes, follow the customs, and let each tribe manage their own affairs, as long as we obey the orders of the Song Dynasty.

This set of ideas had failed when experimenting in Youzhou.

The Song Dynasty needed to control the place more powerfully and protect the entire Silk Road. The responsibility was heavy. After thinking about it, there was only one way to be the king!

Just like the feudal period in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the margins of the country and newly introduced areas were divided into feudal kings and were properly managed according to local conditions.

Wang Ning'an thought for a while and agreed with this idea, not because he got the throne, but because he seems to be able to do so at the moment!

"Is this the second one? It is naturally to calm the morale of the army." Wen Yanbo sighed, "This time the matter in the northwest has caused a lot of harm. Some treacherous and slanderous people have ruined so many soldiers. As far as I know, the morale of the army is shaken, and some people are very dissatisfied. The court should clearly determine the rewards and punishments, grant titles to the king, and reward meritorious soldiers. Everyone can promote and receive rewards, and it is also easy to resolve their dissatisfaction."

Wang Ning'an nodded again, and of course this reason also holds true.

"That's the third thing. The recapture of Yan Yun and the title of king of another surname was the ancestral teaching set by Emperor Taizong. Your Majesty wants to use the title of king to commemorate Taizong, which is also considered to win the hearts of the people!"

Wang Ning'an's heart moved. It seemed that someone wanted to restore the throne of Taizu, which had a great impact on Uncle Zhao. He even came up with the idea of ​​rushing to joy.

He suddenly became curious.

"Mr. Wen, I am not the only one who has made meritorious officials. How many titles will Your Majesty be granted?"

Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "There are only kings who were named as kings in different surnames, but there are still several kings of the same surname."

"Who are there?"

"This is the prince of Dongping..."

Wen Yanbo kept talking and said all the princes who were to be granted the title.

Wang Ning'an was named King of Xiliang, and his headquarters was in Liangzhou. Of course, Liangzhou is still in the hands of Xixia at this moment and needs to be snatched. In principle, his fiefdom is connected to Qinfeng Road and Hengshan in the east and extends west to Shazhou. In other words, the entire Hexi Corridor is full of Wang Ning'an's fiefdom.

He played a role in connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions, with the most critical position and the most important authority.

The second one to be king was Zhao Zongjing. Of course, he had a title before, but with a fief, it was completely different before. Zhao Zongjing got the title of King Gaochang.

To be honest, Wang Ning'an knows how much his brother is, but the problem is that others don't know!

Everyone only saw that Zhao Zongjing had been on a mission to Khitan more than ten years ago and went south to Jiaozhi. This time he led his troops to last thousands of miles and built a foundation.

Although there are many descendants of the Zhao family, he is the only one who can achieve such achievements!

Zhao Zongjing was named King Gaochang and was in charge of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. When it comes to territory, he is still above Wang Ning'an. However, because of Murong Qingchen, most of Bosten Lake was destroyed and Puchanghai was also affected. He had to make great efforts to repair water conservancy to stand firm.

The third prince, unexpectedly, turned out to be the crown prince Zhao Shu.

It is logical that the crown prince is the most normal thing to be crowned king.

For example, Zhao Zhen was first granted the title of Prince of Shouchun, was appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, was promoted to the King, and was sentenced to the Kaifeng Prefecture. As for his father, Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng, he successively granted the title of King Han, King Xiang, King Shou, and the Prime Minister of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Looking at the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, he was either a prince or a prince, and then took charge of Kaifeng Prefecture, practiced his skills, and changed it to a single-character name, and then completed all his homework. He was waiting for the old emperor to die and he could ascend the throne and become emperor.

Zhao Shu completed the name change, was named king and sentenced to Kaifeng Prefecture. These two things have not been done yet. The main reason is that he is young and is highly anticipated and is not in a hurry.

But this time, Zhao Zhen didn't know what to do, so he named Zhao Shu the King of Jin, but did not let him be the prefect of Kaifeng, but instead assigned his fief in Qingtang and let Zhao Shu also serve as King of Khotan!

This arrangement is really confusing. What is Your Majesty planning to do?

"In the past, Your Highness's position was stable, and no one dared to spy on the magical artifacts, but this time someone pushed the Taizu team out, which made Your Majesty very worried." Wen Yanbo told the truth.

"So let Your Highness first practice in Qingtang and accumulate military prestige?" Wang Ning'an asked again: "Why should he serve as King of Khotan?"

"This... is the request of the Kingdom of Khotan."

Wen Yanbo told Wang Ning'an the news from the Western Regions. With the help of the Song Dynasty, Khotan had the opportunity to restore the country, but the entire Khotan Kingdom, Yuchi family, and only one adult Longzi Longsun left, and Yuchi Yan had two younger brothers wearing open-crotch pants.

Zhao Li escaped from death and was given a surname from the Song Dynasty. Because Zhao Shu discovered him at the beginning and gave him great favors, Zhao Li felt that he had changed his surname and was a minister of the Song Dynasty and could not serve as King of Khotan.

The female-like Yuchi Yan and the two boys with open crotch pants were unable to convince the public. Several old guys from Yuchi got together and discussed for seven days. Finally, they decided to merge into the Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Khotan will no longer exist!

The fact that such a decision was made was the loyalty of the people of Khotan, and the situation in Khotan was indeed very bad and could no longer become a country alone.

When the request was passed to the capital, Zhao Zhen was moved by Yutian's loyalty and did not want Yutian to destroy the country, but Yutian could not find a king.

Fortunately, Zhao Shu was allowed to serve as the King of Khotan. The prince's remnants of Khotan were in a high position. It also expressed that the Song Dynasty valued Khotan and gave Zhao Shu a chance to practice and kill two birds with one stone.

"Are there anyone else who has been crowned king?"

"Yes, it was Zhao Congyu, the Xinxing Hou who was granted the title of King Hami."

Wang Ning'an sucked, from the generation of generation, he was from the Taizu family!

Seeing Wang Ning'an change his color, Wen Yanbo explained: "This Zhao Congyu is different from Zhao Conggu. He is very honest and older, and has no other thoughts. After all, when Zhao Shimai was involved this time, His Majesty had to severely punish him, but he could not cut off the roots of the Taizu lineage, so he had such a letter."

Wang Ning'an immediately understood Uncle Zhao's plan. Although Zhao Er's descendants tried their best to suppress Zhao Dayi's lineage, they knew very well that Zhao Eryi's lineage was in a disadvantage.

This time, Zhao Shimai was involved in the battle for the throne. Although he deserved the crime, he killed him and Zhao Conggu's descendants and was inevitably criticized by others, saying that Zhao Zhen was killed without mercy.

After all, they are all from the Old Zhao family, so they always have to leave some thoughts for Taizu.

It is a legitimate way to win over a Hami King. It is a way to drive Zhao Da’s descendants to the Western Regions without seeing each other or being upset!

The three princes of the Zhao family, plus one Wang Ning'an, won four kings in one go, and they were on the Singles' Day to pay their respects.

It is conceivable that the Song Dynasty will be lively for a while.

Among the four princes, the prince is deducted and the Hami King is actually the most dazzling one.

After more than ten years of hard work, he was named a king in a different surname and was in charge of the northwest. It is really enviable and jealous!

"Erlang, you must hurry up and prepare and take down Liangzhou as soon as possible to open up the Hexi Corridor. You can't let your fiefdom be ruined by Xixia, right?" Wen Yanbo teased.

Wang Ning'an smiled, "I know what I have to do with my own fiefdom."

After seeing Wen Yanbo away, Wang Ning'an suddenly became less happy.

He always felt something was wrong.

Logically speaking, the case has not ended yet, especially the Qiyingshe. They got together. After several years of hard work, was it a conspiracy?

How many things have they done, why not delve into it?

Whether it is pushing Zhao Shimai or sending troops privately, it is a threat to the imperial power. Even if the case is over on the surface, it is necessary to continue to investigate secretly and find out all the people involved in the case.

How could Zhao Zhen raise it high and put it down gently? This is always a bit strange.

Especially Lao Wen, he came to encourage the king's title before he finished handling the case, and even made four out in one breath.

This old man can't get up early without any profit. If there is no benefit, he won't be busy!

Then what is Wen Yanbo's plan?

While Wang Ning'an was still hesitating, two more days later, Zhao Zhen formally issued an imperial edict, enfeoffed the kings, and ordered a three-day rest to show his congratulations.

Just as the decree of the feudal was issued, Zhao Zhen issued another decree. Qiyingshe and others were not in their position and were not allowed to discuss the government affairs. What they did was tolerate, and they immediately expelled troops from the Western Regions and were not allowed to stay. Among them, Fu Bi was the most severely dealt with. The whole family was demoted to common people and was not allowed to stay. They were immediately sent to the Western Regions and were never allowed to return to the Song Dynasty!

Wang Ning'an was completely stunned when he received the news. In the first few days, Zhao Zhen still vowed to kill Fu Bi, so how could he give up Fu Bi?

What's going on?

Wang Ning'an suddenly became angry. The first thing he thought of was Wen Yanbo to gain power. Could it be that the matter of being the king was to cover up those old guys?

At this moment, the uncle Cao Qi rushed to the Wang family and cried as soon as they met, "Erlang, there is nothing I can do, Fu Bi can't kill!"
Chapter completed!
