As for the merits in expanding the territory, since the eldest brother has already received no more rewards, we can reward him with fiefdoms.

The Jin region, which is adjacent to Youzhou, has been the throat that controls the north since ancient times. I, your son, would like to ask your father to make the final decision on this proposal!"

fizz

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the prince in disbelief.

Give Jin as a fief to the King of Yan?

In this way, the Prince of Yan's Mansion would be sitting on the three continents of Liao, You and Jin.

Although it is not the Great Nine Provinces, the Tang Dynasty has only thirteen continents in total!

This made the King of Wu and the King of Chu look at the Crown Prince in confusion.

After all, the person who had the biggest conflict with Li Shouxi at this time was the prince. Unexpectedly, the prince still tried his best to fight for Li Shouxi's rights.

However, those who truly understand the situation know that the prince has grown up and is no longer the young man he was a few years ago.

Perhaps it's because the enemy is too powerful.

"Grant a marriage! Grant a fiefdom!

That's great, do you have any choice?"

When everyone heard about the arranged marriage, they also began to consider it.

Compared with the lack of attention a few years ago, Li Shouxi has now become a big name.

Even if he could not become an emperor, he could still secure the north.

In the martial arts world, even if he cannot become a land immortal, he is still the strongest person under the land immortal, one of the ten great masters!

Therefore, even the Five Surnames and Seven Families were extremely excited about such a marriage.

There are no permanent enemies, only permanent benefits.

At this time, they could not touch Li Shouxi and could only adopt a conciliatory policy. Therefore, they might be able to make some adjustments in the marriage.

"Your Highness will select three candidates from this year's selection of beauties, and the Ministry of Rites will make the decision!

And Jin? Do you have any suggestions?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is appropriate to grant His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan the ceremony of inheriting the throne!"

"Jianjiu? What does that mean?"

Although concurrent succession is rare, it is not rare, and what is Li Shouxi concurrent succession to?

The King of Jin and King of You who did not exist in the previous term?

Suddenly, the Tang Emperor was shocked and immediately understood the Minister of Rites' suggestion. It was not the bloodline that was being inherited but the princes.

Li Shouxi was the King of Yan, but what about his descendants?

This is similar to the Enfeoffment Order, except that the Enfeoffment Order is an infinite cycle, while here the ceremony of conferring the title of Grand Duke is divided into only three parts:

King of Yan! King of Jin! King of You!

No, it should be the King of Liao, the King of Yan, and the King of Jin!

After all, there is no such title as King You in the regulations of the Ministry of Rites. Instead, the land of Liaodong is suitable for the King of Liao to inherit.

"My dear minister, do you mean to pass on the bloodline of the King of Yan to the King of Jin and the King of Liao?"

"Your Majesty is wise!

His Royal Highness Prince of Yan has made great contributions. Three years ago, he repelled a million cavalrymen from the grassland, which prevented the north from being plundered for at least ten years, and he deserved to be crowned a king. This time, he has expanded the territory and recovered Japan, which is another merit for which he deserves to be crowned a king!

The people of the world will only praise your majesty for being fair in rewarding and punishing!"

All the gentlemen suddenly understood what was going on when they heard this. Although they were shocked by this so-called joint succession of kings, they could not help but sigh at this brilliant idea.

Since Li Shouxi has nothing left to be rewarded for, what about his bloodline?

What's more, although there seem to be two more Li thrones, as long as Li Shouxi is not dead, his three sons will be just princes.

Only after Li Shouxi died could his three sons officially inherit the throne.

Therefore, in practical terms, he was only rewarded with a fiefdom in Jin.

But nominally, the reward is so generous that it is rare in the world!

This made the Tang Emperor's mouth crack.

What he wants is fame, and this kind of reward is enough to make him known as a wise leader.

"And most importantly, it is the responsibility of the principal wife to serve concurrently.

According to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, except for a childhood sweetheart, all the other wives of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan were foreign marriages, so the next marriage can still be arranged with the wife as the principal wife.

Only the bloodline of the first wife can inherit the throne."

".good!"

The Emperor of Tang nodded, and all the ministers became jealous.

At this time, there was only one Princess Consort in the Prince of Yan's Mansion. With the subsequent marriage, at least the two of them could enter Liaodong as legal wives and inherit the throne through their bloodline.

It was pie in the sky.

Not to mention the Five Surnames and Seven Families, even the major clans and nobles were ready to make a move.

This is no longer a question of whether the team will take sides, but a question of real interests.

The position of the queen and the inheritance of the prince seemed to be within reach.

"Brother, you are so cruel to yourself!"

After the court session, the King of Wu and the King of Chu looked at the Crown Prince with unfamiliar expressions.

Jin was an important place in the north, and originally the great general Li Keyong was stationed there to guard it.

However, as the armies attacked Jin, Li Keyong had no choice but to surrender to the court, and Jin returned to the court's jurisdiction. Li Keyong was not demoted, but in order to deter the north, the court named Li Keyong the Duke of Jin, replacing the Duke of Chu Yang Xuangan as the new Nine Elders of the Tang Dynasty!

However, the north was out of control at this time, and Jin could relapse at any time.

This is also the reason why the Tang Emperor did not mind that Li Shouxi's achievements surpassed his own and gave the land of Jin to Li Shouxi.

At this time, only Li Shouxi could suppress the various northern princes.

Compared with the repeated decline of Jin, granting Jin to Li Shouxi can also help Li Shouxi expand his military strength and gain some bargaining chips in the future troubled times.

"Third and fourth brothers, do you think you can suppress your eldest brother's military achievements?

Previously, with the help of the noble families and the lack of rewards, the eldest brother's military achievements were suppressed. But now the eldest brother has come with his achievements in expanding the territory, and with the chaos in the north, the eldest brother is the best candidate to suppress the north.

As long as the Tang Dynasty exists, we are the crown princes; as long as the Tang Dynasty does not exist, it is a luxury for us to be alive!

I kept silent, and Father also gave the land of Jin to my elder brother. "

Chapter 194: Wu Mei'er, Cui Qing'er, Dugu Ningke

Three kings at the same time?

After the court meeting ended, the news that Li Shouxi had succeeded three kings spread throughout the capital's high-level officials.

For a time, the noble ladies of the Tang Dynasty became restless.

This is the unrivaled His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, and after the marriage, she is the principal wife, that is, the super-class princess.

Moreover, the three kings were heirs, which meant that as long as they were the legal wives, their eldest sons would be the heirs to the throne. Even if Li Shouxi could not survive, it would still be a legitimate throne that could be passed down!

In terms of status, he is far superior to others.

The most important thing is that Li Shouxi's three kings are almost equivalent to the nine gifts given to people from other surnames.

He is the person closest to the throne and the one who may succeed in usurping the throne in the end.

Even the aristocratic families could not suppress the development of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan at this time.

"Wu Mei'er! Cui Qing'er! Dugu Ningke!"

By noon the next day, the Ministry of Rites had selected three beautiful ladies for marriage.

Since the news was out, the Ministry of Rites naturally cut the Gordian knot and directly selected three beauties from the crowd who had the best family background, appearance, and cultivation.

Wu Meir comes from the Shixun family and is considered to have the cleanest background among them.

After all, Sehun can be considered a kind of military honor, but the family has declined and no one has joined the army, so the family chose to go into politics.

Cui Qing'er, naturally, came from the Qinghe Cui family.

Moreover, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying that it was better to marry a daughter of the Cui family than to be a royal consort. This shows the terrifying influence of the Qinghe Cui family.

Therefore, when the Qinghe Cui family joined, the Ministry of Rites agreed without hesitation.

Because Cui Qing'er is the most outstanding woman of this generation of Cui family. It is rumored that she is born with a unique fragrance that can attract bees and butterflies, which is more mysterious than the most precious sandalwood in the world.

This time, the Cui family also spent a huge amount of money and added Cui Qing'er, the pearl of the Cui family, into the selection of concubines overnight.

Princess Xincheng Dugu Ningke belongs to an extra category and was added as a member of the royal family.

Originally, the three wives of Prince Yan were all selected from beautiful girls, but the Ministry of Rites could not ignore the suggestions of the royal family, and even the Emperor of Tang nodded when he heard it.

The purpose is to squeeze out Qinghe Cui’s dream!

Having three kings at the same time means that Li Shouxi will have two vacancies for his two main wives.

Although many of the beauties were extremely beautiful, the Ministry of Rites only selected one outstanding one - Wu Meinr.

If we choose one of them, it will be impossible to compete with Cui Qing'er.

How could the Emperor of Tang not know about the plot of the royal family, so he agreed to add the Princess of Xincheng into the mix.

Anyway, the blood relationship between them has been separated by many generations.

Moreover, hundreds of years ago, the Dugu family was also known as the Queen's family, and produced three queens in succession. Therefore, their family background was so prominent that it could suppress the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family.

In addition, Dugu Ningke is also an absolute talent, and perhaps he can add some fun to Li Shouxi.

In this regard, Emperor Tang's evil mentality also came from his fear of Li Shouxi.

After his death, Li Shouxi was the best candidate for succession.

As long as he doesn't die, Li Shouxi will be the biggest threat to him.

"Your Highness, this is news from Chang'an!"

In the Prince of Yan's Mansion, Li Shouxi was also dealing with the internal affairs of Liaodong at this time.

Without Li Bi, many affairs of the Prince of Yan's Mansion had to be handled by Li Shouxi personally, the most important of which was the review of the palace reports.

"News from Chang'an? Any reward?"

Three kings at the same time?

Apart from having some ideas about Jin, Li Shouxi had no interest in the three kings at all.

Because he either destroys or becomes emperor.

There is no third way at all, and no one else will give him a third way, so the joint throne is just a joke.

Therefore, Li Shouxi did not care about the joint ancestral throne, he was only interested in Jin.

"And there is an arranged marriage? There is no room for discussion with this king."

He saw that there were three women above him who were granted marriage to him as his successors and as his legal wives.

Li Shouxi suddenly smiled bitterly.

You know, his backyard is a bit chaotic now. After Li Sili became his legal wife, a balance was maintained.

The balance between beloved wife, legal wife and childhood sweetheart,

But with the fall of Japan and Goryeo, Li Shouxi was ready to accept Shenxiu and the three Fu sisters as his concubines.

Unexpectedly, three more candidates suddenly appeared at this time, and there were two legal wives, plus the responsibility of being the heir apparent. He could imagine that these three were by no means simple people!

He may not have been backstabbed, but his backyard was definitely on fire.

For a moment, Li Shouxi not only had a headache, but also realized that he was taking advantage of the situation.

After all, the reward bestowed by the imperial court was definitely a great beauty.

"Mei Jian, ask Shao Qing to build three larger courtyards to welcome the distinguished guest."
