Chapter 295: Subtle emotions, a way to break the impasse

After three rounds of drinking, all the princes and kings became tipsy. When they were about to stand up and say goodbye to Emperor Xin, suddenly Emperor Xin looked at Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu.

"I dare to ask Dong Bohou how many sons he has in his family."

Jiang Huanchu was confused by Di Xin's question.

How many sons does he have? What does he have to do with Di Xin?

Although I was confused, I still answered honestly.

"Your Majesty, I have thirty-four sons."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the Longde Hall secretly smacked their lips. These princes are truly worthy of being the emperors of a land.

The number of these children is much greater than that of the current king.

"Thirty-four, no less, no less."

On the throne, Di Xin showed a faint smile and turned to look at Nanbohou E Chongyu. He still had the same question.

"Nan Bohou, how many sons do you have in your family?"

Nanbohou E Chongyu replied honestly, "Your Majesty, I have eight sons in my family."

"There are only eight children, Nan Bohou, you have to work hard."

Di Xin joked and continued to shift his gaze forward.

Xibohou Jichang's face was expressionless, but he was already worried in his heart, and at the same time something bad arose.

The banquet went well, why would the king ask such a question?

Fortunately, Emperor Xin did not ask Ji Chang next, but asked Bei Bohou Chonghou Hu.

Chonghou Hu's face was quite proud, "Your Majesty, I have sixty sons and twenty daughters in my family, a total of eighty children."

hiss!

A gasp of air could be heard throughout Longde Hall!

I thought Jiang Huanchu was outrageous enough!

I didn’t expect that Bei Bohou would be more pregnant than Dong Bohou.

He actually gave birth to more than sixty sons. He is really getting stronger with age, and his sword is still young.

Di Xin smiled and gave a thumbs up, "As expected of Bei Bohou, he is really getting stronger with age!"

Chonghou Hu chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary."

After saying that, Jiang Huanchu, E Chongyu, and Chonghou Hu all looked at Ji Chang.

When it comes to having children, they are really far behind compared to an old boy like Ji Chang.

Ji Chang, an old boy, has more than a hundred sons. Who can compare with him?

After asking the three princes, it was Ji Chang's turn.

Ji Chang came out of the queue embarrassedly, his face slightly red.

"Your Majesty, I have more than a hundred sons."

"Wow!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like cold water was poured into a pan of oil.

The entire Longde Palace exploded instantly.

Except for the old gods of the princes, all the civil and military officials looked at Ji Chang in disbelief.

Xibohou didn't look very strong, but he didn't expect to be so fertile.

There are more than a hundred sons, more than all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty combined.

On the throne, Di Xin stood up and applauded, sighing.

"The Lone King only has two sons, but Xibohou is more than fifty times as old as the Lone King. It turns out that our Xibohou is the one who hides the most."

Ji Chang forced a smile and said, "Those sons are just idiots. How can they be compared with the king's children?"

Di Xin waved his hand, "Don't be humble, Xibohou. Everyone knows your strength."

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "You have so many sons, who should inherit the feudal kingdom a hundred years from now?"

At this time, not only the princes were confused and confused, but even the civil and military officials were dumbfounded.

Did the king take the wrong medicine today? According to the ancestral teachings.

After the death of the human king, the eldest son of the human king inherits the throne, and the remaining heirs are divided among the princes and kings.

After the death of the vassal king, the eldest son inherited the feudal kingdom, and the remaining heirs were given some gold and silver at most.

Rewarding wealth for a lifetime is a rule that has existed since ancient times.

Xibohou felt something bad in his heart, so he had no choice but to stand up.

"Your Majesty, according to the teachings of our ancestors, after a hundred years, the direct eldest son will inherit the title and the country, and the remaining heirs will be rewarded with wealth and honor."

Unexpectedly, Di Xin shook his head more and more, "I have been reading ancient books, but I always feel that this ancestral precept is not good. A few days ago, the doctors Fei Zhong and You Hun came up with a very subtle plan. Do you want to hear it? "

"Want to hear the details."

The four princes and kings all bowed together.

Fei Zhong and You Hun looked at each other, feeling their legs numb and a little desperate.

Once the order of favor is issued, the princes will be offended.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. The two stood up and barely maintained their composure.

"The two of us offer a plan for your Majesty, called the Order of Grace."

"Tweet the order? What is that? I have never heard of it."

Doubts appeared on the faces of the princes, kings and civil and military officials.

Ji Chang's expression did not change, but his heart suddenly tightened, and he felt that something was not right.

Tweeting favors, extending favors, the central government extends favors to the princes, but is this kindness really what the princes want?

After getting started, it was a foregone conclusion that the favor order would be extended. Fei Zhong and You Hun were no longer nervous, and their speech became more fluent.

"The order of favor, as the name suggests, is to show favor to the princes. From today on, after the death of the princes and kings, the eldest son will still inherit the title, but the other sons can also divide part of their territory and be called princes."

Fei Zhong and Youhun were extremely eloquent and could express the essence of the grace order in just a few words.

There was already silence in the entire Longde Hall.

The civil and military officials were stunned on the spot, their eyes widened, and they thought about it for a long time.

As for the four major princes and kings, there seemed to be thunder exploding in their minds.

Tweet the order, it turns out this is the order to push the favor!

This favor is not given to the princes, nor to the eldest son, but to all the descendants except the eldest son.

Now the four princes each dominate one side, mint their own coins, collect their own taxes, and build their own armies.

In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are independent kingdoms.

But this extension of favor is to disintegrate the power of the princes from the foundation.

No matter how large the territory of the princes is, there will be a day when it will be divided up.

The most important thing is that this is an open conspiracy, an open conspiracy.

The opponents of the princes are not from the central government, but from the descendants except the eldest son.

The four princes looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically!

And those small princes stared at Fei Zhong and You Hun, wishing to eat their flesh, sleep on their skin, and cut their bodies into pieces.

Wen Zhong half sat on the armchair with his eyes closed, constantly weighing the golden whip in his hand.

It would be fine if the princes agreed today, but if they don't agree.

Ji Chang laughed dryly and said reluctantly, "Your Majesty, the eldest son inherits the throne, which is an ancient system. I'm afraid it's difficult to implement this Enfeoffment Order."

Ji Chang resisted the Enfeoffment Order with all his might!

What a joke, his Xiqi has become the first vassal state after several princes' management.

If the so-called Enfeoffment Order is really implemented according to what Emperor Xin said, Xiqi will be gone in a few decades, which Ji Chang can never tolerate.

Emperor Xin smiled, "What's inappropriate? The throne is still inherited by the eldest son, but a small part is given to those illegitimate sons. Xibo Hou will not be reluctant to give it up, right?"

Ji Chang's scalp is about to explode, and his brain cells are working rapidly, but no matter what, he can't think of a way to break the deadlock. (End of this chapter)
