The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 353 Zhao Kuangyin Wants to Be King
"I am neither Xiang Yu nor Liu Bang. I want to be Xiang Yu to be a hero, and I also want to be Liu Bang and become a qualified emperor."

"Since they are historically incompatible, I will be the first one. I would like to try it in the future!"

Zhao Kuangyin's childhood wanderings gave Zhao Kuangyin a kind of energy and spirit of not admitting defeat, and now this momentum has returned again.

"I have decided to take back the military power in an open and honest manner without harming their lives. Do you think this is good?"

Zhao Kuangyin is purely expressing his own opinion, if you haven't seen him, you have already made your own decision.

Decided that you are still here to ask you how it looks, this is no different from making fun of others.

Zhao Xu also knew that what Zhao Kuangyin was talking about was exactly the trick that historians would talk about in later generations-drinking wine to release military power.

Zhao Xu didn't know exactly how Zhao Kuangyin operated, so it would be meaningless to say such a thing.

"Okay, since you are so sure, I will support you, but I still need to take some measures to prevent emergencies."

Zhao Xu's concerns were not unreasonable, and God knows if anything unexpected happened in the implementation of this matter.

Fortunately, all the black flag troops were stationed outside the capital last night, waiting for Zhao Xu's orders at any time.

"Enen, although I have full confidence, it is up to man to plan and God to make things happen. You still need to make some preparations. You ordered the imperial army to be ready for the contingency."

"By the way, the security of the inner city must also be stricter, and there must be no mistakes. Your Black Banner Army is ready to enter the city at any time. This is also the last barrier."

Zhao Kuangyin's series of orders were all written down by Zhao Xu. In fact, Zhao Kuangyin didn't need to order them. Zhao Xu would arrange them.

God knows what this era has become because of his arrival, it's better to be careful.

You can't put your own destiny in the hands of others, isn't that just being controlled by others everywhere?
Another question for Zhao Xu was how Zhao Kuangyin would arrange for these people who had been seized of military power!

You must know that according to normal development, Zhao Kuangyin gave these people great privileges, making them powerful landlords on one side.

The imperial court used the imperial court's tax revenue to get their military power back, which can also be said to be a redemption.

These people are the kind of dissatisfied people who take advantage of the privileges given to them by the imperial court to do evil.

Zhao Xu is absolutely not allowed to give them such power when he comes here now, so it will be extremely laborious at first sight to clean them up later.

So he dismissed Zhao Kuangyintian's idea as early as possible, so that he would not have to worry about it in the future?
"By the way, dad, I want to know how you will deal with these people after these things are over?" Zhao Kuangyin knew what Zhao Xu meant.

Naturally, it is not about whether to kill these people, but how they are treated and what arrangements are given.

"Of course they are granted titles, so that they and their descendants have no worries. This is why they can safely disarm and return to their fields."

Zhao Kuangyin really wanted to give them great benefits and privileges, which was also his inner compensation for these generals.

"No, it's enough to give these generals good treatment, and you must not give them special privileges. When a person is above the country, what's the use of the court's laws?"

"So you must not give them privileges. I advise you not to leave them with the promise of killing people and avoiding death. This will only make them more unscrupulous."

"No, at first I thought that taking back their military power would be a pity to them, and I must leave something for them to survive."

"You don't want to talk about this matter. I decided to give them the iron certificate of the alchemy book, so don't talk about the prosperity of generations."

Zhao Kuangyin once again showed Gan Gang's assertive temperament, blocking all the roads at once.

"Okay, I won't talk about it, but I still want to say one last thing. I have no objection to you giving them the iron coupons to avoid death, but they can't be used indefinitely. As long as you allow them to avoid death three times, they can't be used if there are more, okay?"

Seeing that he couldn't change Zhao Kuangyin's mind, Zhao Xu decided to settle for the next best thing. Since he can't stop it, let's limit such privileges to a certain range!

Zhao Kuangyin didn't object to this point, and felt guilty at first, but thinking about it, if they were allowed to hold such privileges all the time, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Even if their descendants committed a crime and were sentenced to death, but with Zhao Kuangyin's death-defying iron fist, who would dare to touch their fingers.

To save them from death three times is the ultimate, and they are not descendants of the Chai family, so they cannot be given the same preferential treatment as them.

"Enen will do as you say, but you see, I want to give them their titles to the county king, what do you think?"

Zhao Kuangyin feels that your actual positions have been revoked, so it is a compensation for you to be knighted.

The titles of the Song Dynasty basically followed the previous dynasties, which can be roughly divided into twelve grades: Wang, Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, and Nan.

The king's title can be divided into: prince, heir king, and county king.The so-called prince is the emperor's prince and brother.

Zhao Guangyi is in this list. Although Zhao Xu does not have the title of prince, he is higher than Zhao Guangyi because he is the heir.

The heir king means that after the death of the prince, his son inherited his position, which is the title.

county king.The close relatives of the clan inherit the kingship, of course, as long as the emperor decrees some of his close ministers can also be named county kings.

Dukes of the state and close relatives of the clan are often awarded this title, and those who have made great contributions to the founding of the country can also have such a title.

The Duke of the County is another level lower than the Duke of the State, and behind it are the Duke of the State and the Duke of the State.The current or former prime minister is Shiyi Wanhu and the founding county magistrate.

Basically, the minimum wages in these companies are all above [-], which is also a minimum wage.

For the most famous marquis of the Han Dynasty, he was able to eat more than a thousand households at this time, and he was no longer as prominent as in his previous life.

Zhao Xu was once named the Founding Marquis by Chai Rong, which is the title. As for the Founding Marquis, there are also the Founding Uncle, the Founding Son, and the Founding Man.

The founding uncle had more than [-] households in the city.The founding son had more than [-] households in the city.The founder of the country had more than [-] households in the city.

What Zhao Kuangyin said about conferring them county kings was the lowest among kings, but they were also at the forefront of the entire title.

Being king is their most honorable thing, and now Zhao Kuangyin is going to propose to make them king.

These few people were indeed crowned kings in history, but they were crowned after their death. Unexpectedly, he was actually thinking of crowning their brothers as kings now.
