Chapter 260 Palace Fighting Game 7
He took over the role of Eunuch Su, holding the book in both hands and reading out the emperor's general ideas.
The court immediately exploded with heated discussions.
An unheard-of method of selecting a crown prince.
It sounds very exciting!
The most important thing is that it can effectively avoid the shock in the court caused by the struggle for the throne.
At least, I don’t have to worry about taking sides anymore.
The capable ones will be promoted, and the incompetent ones will be demoted.
All assessments are conducted within the fiefdom.
The security of the Beijing officials' official hats, lives and entire families has been greatly improved.
Of course, the path for speculators who want to take advantage of others’ success has not been completely blocked.
Happy to everyone!
The specific operation still needs to be discussed in detail.
Unlike the hesitation of the court officials, the reaction of the princes was very positive.
Everyone signed up enthusiastically and participated in the assessment.
As a prince, who doesn’t have a dream of becoming an emperor?
Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. Even if you lose, you must lose with a sincere heart.
Besides, it doesn’t matter if you lose, you can still go out and grab some land.
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
This is much better than when my brother came to power and had to stay in the capital and make a living by pleasing others.
The court officials discussed the matter a lot, but could not come up with any rules for a while.
Xing Xi ordered all the court officials to attend the court early the next morning. Each of them submitted a memorial to the emperor. He then said, "We will discuss this in detail at the grand court meeting in three days." Then he dismissed the court without any hesitation.
Afterwards, he called a group of adult princes to the imperial study to discuss matters.
He then instructed Eunuch Su to call all the princes and grandchildren who were over 10 years old in the upper study.
…………
On the way, I listened to what Eunuch Su revealed.
Lieutenant General Jing Yuan had a shocked look on his face.
Why is this different from what I said yesterday?
It was agreed that if he failed to produce results within three years, he would be named the Crown Prince!
How can you change your mind just like that?
I scratched the back of my head feeling a little timid.
Could it be that Brother Xing believes in himself and can defeat all competitors with his own strength and successfully become the Crown Prince?
With doubts, I entered the hall.
There were about thirty or forty people.
The hall, which is usually spacious, now seems a little crowded?
It has to be admitted that the old emperor did a very good job in expanding the family.
As a representative of the three generations of imperial grandchildren, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was the first to respond to the call and expressed his desire to participate in the assessment.
As for the other imperial grandchildren, the reactions were mixed.
In the next two days, Xing Xi was very busy, and Jing Yuan and Xiao Ying were also very busy.
All the princes were sent out, and the task of building the cement road was handed over to the idle royal family members.
With a title hanging by a thread, there is no need to worry about people not being motivated.
The grand court meeting will be held three days later.
The 15 princes and 8 grandsons of the emperor who were willing to take part in the assessment stood before the court officials in high spirits.
After several discussions with important ministers, 23 county-level fiefs have been circled on the geomancy map for the princes and grandchildren to choose from.
The southeast, northeast, northwest, and southwest are all places where criminals are exiled.
It is just like this in remote areas.
Adhere to the first come first served principle.
While everyone was still hesitating, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was the first to speak and chose Hannan County.
Once someone took the lead, everyone stopped being hypocritical and polite, and all the fiefdoms were quickly divided up.
The Imperial Sword, 200 soldiers, 2 quotas for local soldiers, the power to appoint and dismiss officials, local administrative power, etc.
Xing Xi was very generous in giving up power.
The Anguo Duke's Mansion was founded on military power. Both the Anguo Duke's old lady and the Crown Prince's wife were born into a family of military commanders.
Needless to say, he has great connections in the military.
Before leaving, 2000 soldiers had already arrived.
They are all brave generals who have retired from the battlefield.
The military pay and food were sufficient, and a makeshift team was quickly set up.
Xiao Ying entrusted the Beijing business to her eldest sister-in-law and followed her to Hannan County.
First by land and then by water, stopping and starting many times, after 20 days, we finally arrived at our destination.
It’s October and I’m still wearing light clothing.
Definitely a great place to spend the winter.
Hannan County is close to the sea, and most local people make a living by fishing.
The soil is very fertile, but unfortunately most of it is barren.
In the entire county, there are less than 9 people registered with the household registration system.
Half of them were exiled for various reasons.
County magistrate Feng Chengwen was born in a poor family, but he would not abandon his wife, and no matter how he performed as an official, he was still a good person.
He stayed in Hannan County for ten years. He was honest and did not know how to study hard.
The reputation among the people is also good.
On the first day of Lieutenant General Jing Yuan's appointment, he sent a team of 20 people to go from village to village to inform them of three things:
First, the emperor’s grandson, Prince Qin, came to take over Hannan County.
Second, recruit skilled craftsmen to build military camps and pay them in cash.
Third, put aside past grudges and recruit talented people.
…………
There is strength in numbers, and the military camp construction is progressing rapidly.
The simple civil engineering structure of the house was quickly built.
Now that we have a house, we also need to build a road to the county town, right?
If we have residential areas, we must also have commercial streets, right?
Where there are projects, there is consumption, and where there is consumption, the economy will be stimulated.
The two months before the New Year were spent in full swing with massive infrastructure construction.
Of course, the training of the palace soldiers was also very strict.
The purchase of land and reclamation of wasteland have also been put on the agenda.
