Chapter 1396 Thirty Years of Shenwu
In the 30th year of Shenwu, in June of the summer, he later died in Lizheng Hall at the age of 47.
The emperor cried, and everyone in the harem was mourning.
At that time, the imperial tomb was located in Yanshi County, adjacent to Mangshan in the north and facing Songyue in the south. It was buried in the tomb with the posthumous title: Empress Wenxiao.
The twenty-eight-year-old King Xue Li Fumu and the fifteen-year-old King Jin Li Fuhuan were heartbroken.
Because he was the queen, the vassal king had to set off again to come to Beijing to wear mourning clothes.
The emperor was mourning and after he was no longer in office, he temporarily asked Concubine Yu to take charge of the affairs of the six palaces.
The capital city is covered with mourning for three days, and no music and drinking can be played in a month, so it can be held for marriages.
In mid-August, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is still in mourning, and it is difficult to have joy.
Many vassal kings gathered together, silently.
By the 30th year of Shenwu, the emperor had granted five batches of vassal kings.
The first time was King Wei and King Zhongshan.
The second batch is the five kings headed by King Qi.
The third batch is King Xue, King Chen and other four kings.
The fourth batch was the ten kings in the 20th year of Shenwu, such as King Cao, King Zheng, etc.
The fifth batch was the vassal kings born ten years after Shenwu in the 25th year of Shenwu.
This time, nearly ten people have successively been there.
In other words, by twenty-five years, a total of twenty-nine princes were enfeoffed and were vassalized thirty years ago in Shenwu.
Now, the emperor is getting stronger. Although he is fifty years old, there are still twelve princes in the palace.
The total number of princes has exceeded thirty-nine.
There are many princesses, and there are twenty. Even the naughty princess of Xu State, Yan Nu, has been married for many years and has given birth to many grandchildren for Li Jia.
However, with more princes, the issue of fiefdom that had been discussed before was put on the table.
In the fourth batch of ten kings, three were placed in the north of Mo, three were placed in the Western Regions, and then Japan was destroyed, one was placed in Shikoku Island and one was placed in Honshu Island.
In this way, it is appropriate to force it.
However, it has been five years since the ten kings who were granted the title of Shenwu in the 25th year and are still staying well in the royal palace of the Central Fence of the Beijing.
What’s even more sad is that because the vassal kings were too expensive, it was difficult for Shaofu Temple to build the vassal king’s mansion.
There are now many luxury houses in the east of the city, and the land of the vassal princes that comply with the regulations is almost impossible to take out.
Unfortunately, the subsequent vassal kings were reduced in specifications, which were basically controlled within ten acres, and the cost was no more than ten thousand yuan.
Moreover, the emperor clearly stated that after the vassal kings become vassals, the royal palace will be recycled. In the future, the royal palace must be built again.
Subsequently, the emperor announced again that the vassal king would be granted the title of queen, and the income from the fief would be cut off.
"Brother, why haven't my father come yet?"
Sitting there, King Li Fuyuan of Shu looked at King Xue and King Jin, whose eyes were red and silent, and could not help but look at the strange brothers, and then said to King Qi beside him.
"The father's country of grief is probably not yet ready!"
Li Fuxin sat upright, glanced at King Xue Li Fumu, and couldn't help but say, "Let's be at peace with ourselves, and the father will come in a while."
The thirty-one-year-old King of Qi has ruled the Qi Kingdom for more than ten years. He has a slender beard and is wearing a luxurious royal robe. From a distance, he has a momentum upright and conspicuous look.
With the power and a bit of respect, it is noticeable among the ranks of vassal kings.
Although King Xue, who was in the front row, has been assisting the governor for many years and has grown more momentum, he does not have the domineering aura of a ruler in power, and seems very moderate.
The younger King of Jin also felt the power of the kings and the atmosphere was tense. He looked at his brother who was resting with his eyes closed.
King Xue slapped slightly, shook his head gently, indicating that he should not be nervous.
Opposite King Xue, they have been in the vassal state for many years and have been in the oldest King of Wei and Zhongshan, and they are relatively relaxed.
"I just returned last year and I came again this year. The death of the queen is shocking!"
As Zhongshan King Li Fuwen grew older, he had long beards and seemed very calm.
"Although it's a lot of money, there's no way to go!"
King Wei Li Bin blinked slightly and said softly: "The emperor's sister-in-law passed away. The most difficult thing now is King Xue!"
"Although they are just vassals, they are still the prince."
Li Fuwen glanced at the rows of kings in several rows, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's a big deal, it's better not to mention it!"
In the era of being in the world, the affairs of the emperor's harem actually had a great impact.
For example, if the queen dies, if a concubine takes office, such as Concubine Li, the mother of King Qi, then King Qi is also the legitimate son, which is enough to challenge King Xue's status.
But how could the emperor tolerate the mistakes of the government that had been peaceful for many years? He directly asked the ordinary Yu Concubine to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the six palaces and clearly stated that he would no longer establish the queen.
This has a great blow to many princes.
However, politics has stabilized again.
The emperor ruled the world for 30 years, and the world was peaceful and powerful, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him. Before he died, no one dared to be arrogant.
"Your Majesty is here-"
Suddenly, the silent atmosphere was opened and a sharp sound rang out.
The kings stood up in a hurry, and their power was filial, as if they were humble ministers, kneeling down respectfully and touching the ground with their heads.
"Son (my brother) see His Majesty the Emperor—"
The sound was neat and loud, resounding throughout the palace.
"Get up!"
The emperor had a steady pace and a calm face, neither sad nor happy, so he sat on the dragon throne and looked at his sons who were gathering together, and then he said slowly.
"Thank you, your Majesty—"
Everyone lined up, lowered their heads and lowered their hands, as if they were being trained as primary school students.
Li Fuxin secretly looked at the dragon throne. The emperor was healthy and his eyes were like torch. With just one glance, it seemed that he could penetrate people's hearts.
"Sit down!"
After a long time, the emperor sighed softly this time.
"promise--"
Everyone returned to their original position and concentrated and calmed down.
"Originally, you came again this year, which was a waste of money, but the queen had to do it when she left."
Li Jia leaned against the soft pillow and felt better on her waist. Then he looked forward and said:
"The state governs the world with filial piety and stays away from Luoyang. You are bound to be close to each other. You should be friendly and respectful to each other. Don't just do whatever you want if I am old."
"As a vassal king, you must have the style of a benevolent king!"
"Um?"
The emperor snorted, and the bodies of the vassal kings below trembled, lowering their heads and silently.
"King Liang, King Cao, King Shen?"
"The son and the minister are here--" Several vassal kings left the list tremblingly.
Then, the few of them looked at it. The emperor took the whip from the eunuch. Then, the eunuchs took them down without saying a word, took off their pants and pressed them on the bench.
"Ba" the emperor slowly approached, and there was a whip.
"Let you plunder women into the palace-"
"Ba"
"Let you kill the civil servants who advise you at will!"
"Ba"
"I'll let you have fun all day long, work hard to lose money, build a palace—"
"Ah——" King Liang said with a sad face, "Father, I have not expanded the palace!"
"Bah, you're so embarrassed to say it? If you stick any one, you'll have to be beaten!"
Li Jia said funny, and another whip was merciless.
Each of them was almost five or six whipped, their butts were covered in blood and flesh, and they bite the wooden stick and endured it. They knew that the emperor hated the crying people the most.
The vassal kings looked at each other and even though they were beaten to death, they would never have thought that this would happen.
As the emperor whipped one after another, the corners of their mouths twitched, and the ups and downs were also turbulent.
"Pull these rebellious men down and apply medicine!"
The emperor is so old that he is tired. He sits on the dragon throne and says, "Today I will teach you some lessons. If you still don't be a monarch next time, I will destroy your vassal state."
