Film and TV: Starting from the World of Langya
Chapter 177
Jinling.
It is still the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The Imperial Palace.
It has become the Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Jingli did not waste money and manpower to rebuild the capital and the imperial palace.
However, Jinling and the imperial palace were repaired and expanded.
After all, it is the capital of the world, and the current Jinling and the imperial palace are obviously not worthy of it.
But even for repairs and expansions, money is distributed and the people voluntarily sign up.
Think about Qin Shihuang. Although he requisitioned a large number of people to build the Great Wall, the monthly wages were enough for a family of five for a month. Even so, he was still scolded as a tyrant. The requisitioned people could delay their arrival time when they encountered heavy rains. Even so, he was still scolded as a tyrant.
Only those who really understand history know that Qin Shihuang was not really a tyrant. He had a moderate reward and punishment, loose laws, and only cared about the people of the world.
Otherwise, how could he be slandered for a thousand years, but still could not get rid of the title of the greatest emperor of all time. Did he become the greatest emperor of all time just because he unified the world?
Xiao Jingli didn't know how he would be evaluated in the future, but he understood Qin Shihuang's heart at this moment. He didn't care!
Just have a clear conscience!
This is the heart of an emperor!
Fengtian Hall!
The first court meeting after returning from Mount Tai!
Below, the huge Fengtian Hall was crowded!
Xiao Jingli sat high on the dragon throne, and on the dragon table in front of him, another jade seal belonging to the Ming Dynasty was replaced.
Xiao Jingli gave it the name, the Imperial Jade Seal, and it was written on it,"Mandated by Heaven, Long Live and Prosper!"
That's right, Xiao Jingli imitated Qin Shihuang here.
Originally, Qin Shihuang was the emperor in his heart, so Xiao Jingli had nothing to be embarrassed about.
He also wanted to leave a national treasure for future generations.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live the Ming Dynasty!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live the Ming Dynasty!!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live the Ming Dynasty!!!"
The ministers knelt and said
"My Lords, please stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"
Xiao Jingli looked at the crowd below and said,"Pass on my decree. All titles in the world, including those of the Former Liang Dynasty, are abolished. The titles of the Great Ming Dynasty are respected!"
"In addition, the Ming Dynasty’s titles are divided into prince, duke, duke, first to third class marquis, first to third class earl, first to third class son, and first to third class man!"
"The prince is the first rank, the county prince is the second rank, the duke is the first rank, the first-class marquis is the second rank, and so on!"
Although the title has grades, all grades, whether it is the official rank or the casual official rank, are respected by the title rank.
When it comes to the marquis, even if it is a first-rank official, when seeing a third-class marquis, he will not treat the other party as a third-rank official.
Because this is a title.
The title represents the nobility!
The world respects the royal family, followed by the nobility, and then the aristocratic family, etc.
But the title cannot be regarded as such. No matter which country or dynasty, the title is basically awarded for military merit and great merit, even if it is not a hereditary title.
In a sense, the title already represents the shareholders of the Ming Dynasty, those with fiefs, even if they are only small shareholders.
Although the rights of small shareholders are not as great as those of the president, their status is higher than that of the president
"Moreover, according to the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty, the title system cannot be changed, and those who inherit the title without succession must also reduce one level when they succeed!"
"This instruction applies equally to the royal family!"
"For example, the title of a prince is inherited by the next generation as a first-class marquis. A duke cannot be inherited, and it cannot be granted lightly without great merit. The next generation after a first-class marquis is a first-class earl, then a first-class son, and then a first-class man, until the next generation loses the title and returns to commoner status."
"However, if you have great merits or military achievements during this period, you can be promoted normally!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"You are all smart people. You all know that too many titles will have a huge impact on the Ming Dynasty and may even drag down the Ming Dynasty."
"If he is a duke, or a prince, one title for five generations, isn’t that enough?"
"The royal family is the same"
"Moreover, among the future princes, those without talent cannot be granted the title of prince, county prince, or even duke."
"Only the title of Marquis can be granted!"[]
Looking at the silent crowd below, Xiao Jingli continued:"My lords, the descendants have no talent, and wealth is enough. Giving them power is not good, and it will bring trouble. Isn't our Duke Wu a Liezi?"
"Relying on his status as a duke, he even dared to provoke me, who was a prince at the time. Humph, he is quite courageous."
"Look at Lin Shu again. If the descendants have talent, they can earn a title on their own.
Everyone looked at Lin Shu.
Yes.
If the descendants have no talent and still hold power, it is indeed the same as seeking death.
Even if the title is gone after a few generations, the rich family assets can be returned to the ancestral land and it will not be a problem to be rich for another five generations. Of course, the premise is that there is no prodigal son.
"Your Majesty is wise!" the crowd shouted
"Very good, Gao Zhan, announce the decree!"
Xiao Jingli reminded
"Yes!"
Gao Zhan took several eunuchs holding trays with many imperial edicts and stepped forward.
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Pan Feng is loyal and devoted, has expanded the territory, and has made countless contributions.
He has made great contributions.
He is hereby appointed as the Grand General of the Military Affairs Council, the first rank, and granted the title of Prince of the County, the King of Zhongshan, hereditary without change, with a fief of 10,000 households, and is granted a Zhongshan Palace in Jinling, 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 100 palace maids, and 500 servants.
"
Pan Feng excitedly looked at Xiao Jingli. He never expected that he would be made a king. He thought that he would be a duke.
Make him a king!
In this world, besides the royal family, is there anyone else who can be made a king?
Besides, Xiao Jingli just said that even if he is a prince of the royal family, he cannot be made a king without talent.
""Your Majesty, I am Pan Feng. I thank you for your grace. I am willing to follow you in life and in death. I will never refuse!"
Pan Feng knelt down and said
"Get up, hahahaha, why are you still crying (Li Haozhao), I remember that you brought three hundred bandits to rob me of a thousand taels of silver"
"Wan Guo is also here. We will never forget this for the rest of our lives."
Xiao Jingli said with a smile
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Wan Guo also recalled and laughed
"Your Majesty, stop talking." Pan Feng stood up and looked back, a little embarrassed.
"Okay, no more words."
"You may not know what the Military Affairs Council is for. The Military Affairs Council is the same as the Wenyuan Council. One is for civil affairs, the other for military affairs. The political affairs are separated."
"The Military Council is headed by the Great Generals Guarding the Nation and the Great Generals Assisting the Nation, both of whom are of the first rank."
"Sima, Situ, and Sikong are of the first rank, supervising the two generals. They have no power, but only veteran generals can be competent for this position."
"Moreover, I have once again established the ancestral precepts, except for the founding of a country, no one from another family can be crowned king in the future."
Xiao Jingli looked at the crowd below and said
"We, the ministers, will keep this in mind!"
