Chapter 14703: Shangzhuguo

After Zuoqiuwen used the magic circle, he went back to the palace. It would take a long time for that person to become a dead spirit. Zuoqiuwen didn't have time to wait. He had to go back to the palace because the morning court was about to start.

Not long after Zuoqiuwen returned to the palace, it was time for the morning court. Zuoqiuwen had already notified all the ministers that there would be an extra court today. After all, the morning court was not held every day. Today was not the day for the morning court. It was just because such a big thing happened, so it was normal to have an extra court. When the morning court was about to start, all the ministers came to the palace on time, but their faces were not very good. On the contrary, Xu Kang and his men also came to the palace, and they all had happy faces.

At this time, three whips sounded, and then all the ministers lined up to enter the hall. After all the ministers stood in place, Zuoqiuwen walked into the hall and sat on the dragon chair. After all the ministers bowed three times to Zuoqiuwen, they all shouted Wan'an.

Zuo Qiuwen looked at them, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no need to be polite." Everyone responded and then stood up.

Zuo Qiuwen glanced at the people below, and then said, "Last night, Prince Rui rebelled and attacked the palace, but was stopped by the palace guards. General Xu and several other beloved ministers, with their children, attacked from outside, and joined forces with me to defeat Prince Rui. Prince Rui was ambushed. Today I called you all to court for this matter. Decai, announce the decree."

Decai responded, then stepped forward, took out the imperial edict, and said loudly: "The Emperor of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Xu Kang, Tai Le, Cong Jun, Lai Dechang, Tu Ling Jiren, who are loyal to the emperor and love the country, and bravely shoulder the national crisis, are specially promoted to the titles of Prince Taibao, Pillar State, and Minister of War. This is decreed!" This imperial edict was not very long, and the content was very simple. It was nothing more than promoting Xu Kang and others, but the promotions this time were different. Prince Taibao and Minister of War were actually honorary positions, but they had already shown their status. The position of Upper Pillar State was different. It was very important. In the Xingchen Empire, Upper Pillar State was a title of nobility, and And it is a hereditary title. You should know that in the Xingchen Empire, titles cannot be inherited. Only a few titles can be inherited. Generally, titles cannot be inherited. Although the major families are powerful, almost none of them have hereditary titles. Their families have titles, but this title is decreasing, that is, it will be downgraded every generation. The reason why the major families have always been so powerful is that they have people in high positions in every generation, and then they keep the titles. Some big families don’t even keep the titles, but can only keep the positions, which is already very good. But now the Xu family and several other families have hereditary titles of Shangzhuguo, which is definitely a good thing for them. In the future, their status will definitely be higher than other families. After all, the title is the same as the country. As long as the country exists, you can always receive the salary with the title, and your status will remain unchanged. It can be said that this title directly distances the Xu Kang family and other families from each other.

The other families had no way to object, because Xu Kang and his family had made contributions in saving the emperor, and the reason why it was not written in the imperial edict was that this was a rebellion within the royal family after all, and it would be unpleasant to say it out loud, so the imperial edict only mentioned their contributions in passing, and said nothing, but the title was real.

When the people from Xu Kang's family heard about this reward, they were all excited and their faces flushed. They immediately came out of the class and shouted loudly: "I accept the order and thank the Lord for his grace!" After that, they kowtowed to Zuo Qiuwen respectfully.

Zuo Qiuwen said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite, just stand up." After thanking him, the few people stood up and walked into the court again.

Zuoqiu Wen glanced at the others and then said, "Prince Rui is a prince himself, and I don't want to make things too embarrassing. I have decided to grant him white silk. As for the garrison, I have other appointments. Let's adjourn the court." After saying that, Zuoqiu Wen stood up and turned to walk to the back hall without saying a word to the other ministers. Those ministers also knew that they could not say anything now, because they did not come to rescue the emperor last night, and Zuoqiu Wen did not punish them directly, which was the greatest kindness to them, so they had no right to say anything now. At the same time, they also understood that Zuoqiu Wen was going to use This time, they have the opportunity to firmly grasp the garrison army in their hands, and they will not be qualified to interfere in the future. Moreover, no matter who Zuoqiu Wen appoints to lead the garrison army this time, they have no right to object. Even if Zuoqiu Wen gives up his life to lead the garrison army, people from all departments must agree. If they dare to disagree, Zuoqiu Wen will think that they are in collusion with Zuoqiu Zhi, and then there will be no need for an excuse to deal with them. It can be said that the major families' sitting on the sidelines this time is definitely the most unprofitable business, and they have no way out because they made the wrong choice this time.

The ministers came out of the hall, all with gloomy faces. On the contrary, Xu Kang and his family all had excited faces. They all walked quickly home. It was obvious that they were going to I brought this good news home. Although each of their families also suffered some losses in this battle, and some family disciples died in the battle, these family disciples who died in the battle were exchanged for a hereditary title of Shangzhu Kingdom. , for them, it is definitely a profit, and it is a huge profit. Of course they are happy. In fact, other families are also very regretful now. If they also rescued the driver yesterday, then they may do the same now. Not to mention the death of several family disciples, even if their head of the family died in battle, as long as they could get this hereditary title, they would be willing to do so, because often people with such hereditary titles are actually the easiest Received royal favor.

A hereditary title means retiring from the country. In other words, as long as the country is still there, your title will not be taken away under normal circumstances. However, if your family's hereditary title is still there, it means that , you and the royal family are one. When the royal family is here, your family's title will always be there. In this case, you are often the most loyal to the royal family, because once the dynasty changes, your title will be gone. For your own title, you must also be loyal to the royal family. This is the benefit of a hereditary title.

If major families have no talents in the future and cannot hold high positions in the court, then their family titles may not be preserved, and their family status may not be preserved either. Therefore, hereditary titles and non-hereditary titles are different. Two different things.

When Xu Kang and the others returned home, they directly told them about their being granted the title of Zhuguo, which naturally caused a burst of cheers from the family. However, those families were not so happy, but they had no choice. They knew that At this time, Zuo Qiuwen was also very angry. If they dared to show up at this time, Zuo Qiuwen would definitely take action on them. Even if their family was not destroyed, they would be demoted. If they were really killed, they would be demoted. Their positions have been demoted, which will hit them even harder. Therefore, at this time, they are not qualified to oppose Zuo Qiuwen's will. It can be said that the major families have suffered a big loss this time.

They didn't expect that Zuo Qiuwen would be prepared, nor did they expect that Zuo Qiuzhi would suddenly take action without being prepared, which made them make the wrong choice, but there was no way, this choice If they did it themselves, then they must bear the consequences, so this situation is normal, and they will definitely suffer the loss this time.

After Zuo Qiuwen returned to the palace, he first sent Zuo Qiu Zheng and the others back to the palace, and then he went directly to the Royal Beast Garden. This time, there were some losses in the Royal Horse Prison, but fortunately the losses were not serious. Zhong, the fighting power of Wei Xianchen and the others is no joke. With the addition of the few giant beasts they have tamed, their losses are not very big, not to mention that Zuo Qiuwen can also kill all the servants. He has become a clan of undead, so the Royal Horse Supervisor has nothing to lose.

By the time Zuo Qiuwen arrived at the Royal Beast Garden, those people had all turned into a clan of undead. They all put on new clothes and had their whole bodies wrapped up. Then Zuo Qiuwen directly ordered that Those people returned to the garrison's space fortress in batches and took over the space fortress. As for the person who led the garrison, it was Luo Jiaying. Luo Jiaying was now a member of the Necro clan. As for the other generals in the garrison, , just use the original generals. Anyway, they are now loyal to Zuo Qiuwen. Of course Zuo Qiuwen will use them. Zuo Qiuwen saw the battle last night. These people of the Necromancer clan were fighting. At that time, he was really brave and unafraid of death, and absolutely obeyed his orders. Of course, he had absolute trust in these people.

Of course, Zuo Qiuwen also randomly found some names and gave them to these people. He couldn't let these people use their original names. If he did, wouldn't it arouse the suspicion of the major families? Now, even if the members of the major families were suspicious, they would only think that Zuo Qiuwen had already prepared and sent some of the people who originally guarded the palace directly to the garrison. They would not have thought that these people were originally the garrison. After all this was done, Zuo Qiuwen wrote to Zhao Hai, telling Zhao Hai that he could come back.

In fact, Zhao Hai knows everything about the situation in the palace. He knows very well what the palace is like now. After all, all the people participating in the war are the undead clan, and the undead clan is equal to Zhao Hai's. Eyes, Zhao Hai certainly knew what happened in the palace, and he was not surprised at all by this situation. Being in the emperor's family, such a thing is really not surprising.

What Zuo Qiuwen didn't know was that those servants who followed Zhao Hai to Poison Mars had already become the undead clan, but you couldn't tell from their appearance that they were the undead clan. Of course, Zhao Hai would not let them know, so when Zhao Hai received Zuo Qiuwen's order, he took the servants and returned directly to the Royal Beast Garden. As soon as he returned to the Royal Beast Garden, Wei Xianchen He came up to him immediately. It was obvious that he had been waiting for Zhao Hai for a long time. As soon as Zhao Hai saw Wei Xianchen, he immediately saluted Wei Xianchen and said, "See Eunuch Wei."
