Ming Zuo

After Zuo Xianmei's canonization, everyone thought it would continue, so they waited patiently.

Unexpectedly, Huang Jing turned around and left the stage.

This caught everyone off guard and quite surprised.

Isn't there still the eldest daughter of the emperor and the eldest son of the emperor who have not been canonized?

Why stop here?

After seeing Zuo Menggeng, Xu Ruolin and Wang Siyi calm down, everyone in the arena had no choice but to wait and see what happened.

After Huang Jing, Fu Xinyuan came out.

In his hand, he also held the imperial edict.

However, the person who proclaimed the imperial edict was changed from the head of the palace to the emperor's secretary, which obviously meant a different meaning.

Huang Jing represents the inside, while Fu Xinyuan represents the outside.

Could it be that it was the turn of the meritorious officials to reward them?

Everyone couldn't help but sit up straight, looking forward to it.

Under the eyes of everyone, Fu Xinyuan opened the imperial decree with an ordinary expression.

As Zuo Menggeng's secretary, he is naturally clear about all the previous plans, and he will not be surprised.

"Writing is used to carry the Tao, inheriting the virtues of the sages, and enlightening the wisdom of the people. The prosperity of the country lies in the unity of the people. The power of unity begins with the popularity of the Tao. The Liu family pioneered the thinking and shaped the will of the country. In the present age, the benefit is in the future. Confer: King of Yue."

boom……

The scene immediately exploded.

Everyone was astonished, they never expected that the award of the hero would be so exciting from the very beginning.

This is the king!

And still a prince!

For thousands of years, as the system has become more and more perfect, it has almost been a consensus that foreign surnames cannot be crowned kings.There are very few great achievements, and the canonization of the county king is the limit.

The pro-king is only possible for the emperor's direct relatives.

Liu Zongzhou was at the scene, and when he heard that he was named prince, he trembled on the spot.

This award is really out of the ordinary.

He hurriedly wanted to stand up, but quickly declined.As a result, his eyes collided with Zuo Menggeng, but what he received was a gentle smile.

Zuo Menggeng nodded slightly, signaling him to be calm.

Liu Zongzhou knew that he had other deep meanings, so he could only calm down, but his heart couldn't stop surging.

Fu Xinyuan seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, so he continued to announce the imperial edict without being affected.

"The rise and fall of a country lies in upholding government for the public. Those who work hard, the well-being of all people depends on. Rise and fall are permanent, and good looks are hard to find. Since the cabinet prime minister Hou Xun, since he took office, he has firstly protected the country and the people, secondly promoted prosperity and daily innovation, and thirdly helped open up borders." Tuo Tu. Bestowed: King Yu."

After Liu Zongzhou, the second prince with a different surname was born.

That is the Prime Minister Hou Xun.

Compared to the commotion just now, everyone is quiet now.

After all, Liu Zongzhou can be crowned king, and of course Hou Xun can too.

Moreover, among the senses of the world, Hou Xun's contribution seems to be greater.

After all, he is the prime minister of the cabinet, and he has been working hard on state affairs for many years, and he has never neglected everything.

For the empire to prosper and prosper day by day, after Zuo Menggeng, he must be the first one.

Hou Xun sat still, his eyes were clear, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were silently clenched.

He only looked at Zuo Menggeng.

The ambitions of scholar-bureaucrats in life are self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the country, and peace of the world.

You have to meet the Ming Lord and show off your ambitions.

"Your Majesty, since you have been so kind to me, I will sacrifice my life to repay you."

In the venue, everyone gradually became excited.

Because they have already discovered that the empire's rewards for meritorious service are so generous.

If this is the case for the prince, other titles are naturally not a problem.

Sure enough, after Liu Zongzhou and Hou Xun, six more princes were canonized.

Li Banghua was King Ji, Chen Zhi was King Yan, Huang Zongxi was King Song, Liu Yiyuan was King Lu, Zuo Rong was King Wu, and Zuo Hua was King Qi.

Everyone admired this award, and there was no objection.

And in the canonization, there are also traces to follow.

Liu Zongzhou is the ideological leader of the empire, who single-handedly created new ideas that ushered in a new era.It made the country take a big step forward and completely got rid of the shackles of the feudal system.

Based on this merit alone, he must be the first among all the ministers.

Hou Xun, Li Banghua, and Chen Zhi are the heads of civil servants and the top three in the cabinet.

The most commendable thing is that among the rewards of various dynasties in the past, there were actually not many civil servants who were knighted.

Even if there is, it is far inferior to generals.

But in the empire, the civil and martial arts are completely consistent in terms of rewards.

Huang Zongxi and Liu Yiyuan are Zuo Menggeng's right-hand men in the army, and the two of them cooperated with Zuo Menggeng to build the National Defense Force.

Therefore, who dares to refuse to accept the title of king.

As for Zuo Rong, in addition to being a relative of the emperor, he is also the number one general of the National Defense Forces, so he deserves the highest honor.

The same is true for Zuo Hua, who built the Imperial Navy single-handedly and opened up thousands of miles of land for the country.

These eight princes are the eight benchmarks.

He clearly told all officials and even the world that the empire will reward every meritorious service, and it will never be stingy.Moreover, the rewards are only commented on credit, and will never be mixed with other things.

If there is only one foreign minister who becomes the king, it will inevitably cause an uproar.But since there are eight, there is nothing to dispute.

But even so, the subsequent canonization of the county king still caused a sensation.

Just because the No. 1 canonized county king turned out to be a woman, and she was still a young woman.

Lu An was named the King of Ningguo County because of his meritorious service.

Lu An, who was sitting in the field, was in a daze.

She turned out to be a prince?
But if you think about it carefully, this reward is really very fair.

Who is Lu Anna?

The leader in the medical field of the empire even tested the poison with his own body, and solved the smallpox that had ravaged thousands of people for thousands of years.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a living Bodhisattva.

Such a person can't be crowned king, so how can others be worthy of it?
At the same time, because of Lu An's reward, everyone realized that the empire's judgment of merit was not limited to civil and military.

Sure enough, after Lu An, Qin Luo was named the King of the Sheng Kingdom, and Li Meizhi was named the King of the Li Country.

These three were neither ministers in the court nor generals in the army, but their contributions are obvious to all.

After these three, it was the turn of civil servants and generals.

Wang Yun is the king of Fengwen County, Jiang Wei is the king of Mingwen County, Zhang Zhenxiu is the king of Xianwen County, and Huang Zonghui is the king of Zhangwen County.

These four encompass the administrative and judicial spheres.

The military canonized the most people, with a total of five people.

Zhou You is the king of Wuxian County, Zhang Yan is the king of Wucheng County, Zuo Yong is the king of Wude County, Mao Yuanyi is the king of Wugong County, and Bai Xiaoqi is the king of Wuwei County.

These people together make up the Twelve County Kings.

The rules are self-explanatory.

Those conferred in the field of science, engineering, teaching and research are designated as Guozihao; those conferred in the field of administration and justice are designated as Wenzihao; those conferred by military generals are designated as Wuzihao.

So far, all the ranks of princes and nobles have been conferred.

Everyone noticed that the words "hereditary replacement" did not appear in these canonizations.

But when they picked up the manual on the table, they finally understood.

These canonized princes are only for those who have meritorious service.As for their descendants, they are not listed here.

There is not even a rule that the prince is downgraded to the county king, and the county king is downgraded again.

In other words, the prince's descendants are the same as ordinary people in terms of title, and do not have any preferential treatment.

But even so, it's still a prince!

Throughout the ages, how many people can touch it?
At the same time, what everyone is even more excited about is that since these people can become kings because of meritorious deeds, then others can naturally too.

This undoubtedly greatly stimulated people's self-motivation.
