Chapter 147 Reward! Hold a small meeting!

How to reward?

No matter what, Chu Xiong is also the ancestor of a country and a saint-level warrior.

At the same time, he was also the first powerful person to surrender to the Great Xia Dynasty.

The reward was too light, and the other strong men who wanted to surrender thought it was not worth it. It would be better to fight to the death and create a better future.

But if the reward is too heavy, it will not be good for the country's civil and military officials. After all, they have gone through life and death to get their current positions. How can a surrendered person, who has not done anything, be on an equal footing with them?
Ye Jiuxing had a headache.

To be honest, he had never thought about this question and had no idea.

Who could have thought that when Zhuge Liang was chasing Jiang Xuan, he only needed a few words to make Chu Xiong surrender and run over to surrender.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Zhuge Liang stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Chu Xiong surrendered with the Great Chu Dynasty. In my humble opinion, Chu Xiong can be canonized as a marquis and the ancestral land of the Xiong family can be given to Chu Xiong!"

Marquis!

Reward ancestral land!

Ye Jiuxing's eyes lit up slightly, but he remained expressionless.

As a king, you should be shrewd and able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses. You should make it difficult for others to see through your true intentions and keep a sense of mystery at all times. Only in this way can you make others feel awe and not dare to act rashly.

"What do you think?"

Ye Jiuxing looked around at the civil and military officials and asked majestically.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xu stepped forward, glanced at Chu Xiong, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister proposed to confer a title, and I support it, but I have a different attitude towards some details!"

"Oh?"

Ye Jiuxing said again: "Then tell me your opinion?"

"The reward is too great!"

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Great Xia Dynasty is full of powerful men and counselors, but none of them has been made a marquis. Chu Xiong has made contributions to the country, but he is not as good as you gentlemen. The starting point for being made a marquis is too high!"

"I suggest that Chu Xiong be conferred the title of Earl!"

count!

One level higher than Marquis.

The corresponding fiefdoms, power, status, etc. will also be greatly weakened.

Although he is a noble, he is in the second echelon.

Chu Xiong's heart sank and he looked at Jia Xu with some dissatisfaction, but did not dare to say anything.

First, he was a surrendered minister after all and lost the qualifications to negotiate.

Second, he could see that Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu were playing the good and bad roles, and the one who really made the decision was the young emperor Ye Jiuxing.

Third, what Jia Xu said also makes sense. Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, no one has been awarded a title. People like Bai Qi, Lu Bu, Qin Qiong, etc. are powerful and have made outstanding military achievements, but they have not yet been awarded the title of marquis.

Why was he granted the title of Marquis?
Offering the Great Chu Dynasty, what kind of achievement is that?

With the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty, all the saints are no longer elusive, but stand honestly in the court and offer advice and suggestions, which shows how powerful it is.

Any person you pick out at random can sweep across the Chu Dynasty.

Therefore.

Serving the country is only a small achievement.

For a time, the civil and military officials argued fiercely over the issue of rewarding Chu Xiong, each holding their own opinion.

Chu Xiong stood between the two groups of people, trembling.

so poor.

He is probably the most lowly Saint Realm warrior in the world today!
"All right!"

At this time, Ye Jiuxing said: "My lords, Chu Xiong is the first strong man to surrender to Daxia. We should give him an extraordinary reward to show the world that Daxia Dynasty attaches great importance to strong people!"

The bustling hall suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Jiuxing.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ye Jiuxing made the final decision and ordered majestically: "Pass the order, confer Chu Xiong the title of Marquis of Great Xia, and grant the Chu family's ancestral land, Xiongshan, as a fiefdom!"

Duke of Chu!

Rewarded with the title of Marquis.

Hearing this, Chu Xiong was delighted and quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you!"

No one in the court opposed it.

Even Jia Xu, who had caused the most trouble before, became quiet.

This made Chu Xiong even more convinced that the dispute between Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu just now was just a game of playing the good cop and the bad cop.

At the same time, Chu Xiong was shocked by Ye Jiuxing's control over the court.

So many giants in the holy realm were obedient.

Got it!

I will be more honest in the future and be a free and easy marquis!
"Please get up!"

Ye Jiuxing raised his hands and said with a smile.

Chu Xiong stood up, looked to both sides, hesitated, and then walked towards the line of civil servants.

He was persuaded to surrender by Zhuge Liang, so he was closer to the civil officials.

for the rest of the time.

Mainly discuss some national policies.

The current Great Xia Dynasty is no longer just the pitiful three states when it was first established. Its territory is now vast, including the Dayu Dynasty, Daye Dynasty, Dajiang Dynasty, and Dachu Dynasty!
Governing such a huge country is not an easy task.

at least
With Ye Jiuxing's current governing ability, it is still somewhat difficult to govern the Great Xia Dynasty well.

Fortunately, he was not alone. He had the assistance of Zhuge Liang, Guiguzi, Jia Xu and others, so he did not find it difficult.

If you have a wise minister, you can govern a country!
And Daxia.

There are many wise ministers!

Two hours later, the court meeting ended.

After Ye Jiuxing announced the adjournment of the court, Chu Xiong yawned and left the court. He had been listening to strategies for governing a country for two hours and was already drowsy.

"Ok?"

After walking out of the court, Chu Xiong turned his head and found that Zhuge Liang, Guiguzi, Bai Qi and others did not come out, but went to the imperial study. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

It is said that big things matter small things, and small things matter big things.

At this moment, many powerful people went to the imperial study. Isn’t this just a small meeting?
The key point is that many military generals also went there!
Do we need to use military force against foreign countries?
Thinking of this, Chu Xiong's pupils shrank slightly and his back felt cold.

But the next moment, Chu Xiong calmed down again. He was now a marquis of the Great Xia Dynasty and one of their own. No matter who the Great Xia Dynasty attacked, it had nothing to do with him.

But the surrounding countries are in trouble!
Live it!

Chu Xiong was no longer panicked and even felt a little happy.

Over the years, due to the weak strength of the Great Chu Dynasty, it has been bullied by surrounding countries.

Royal study room.

Ye Jiuxing sat in the upper seat, less majestic than in the court and more amiable.

Below, Zhuge Liang, Bai Qi, Guiguzi, Qin Qiong, Jia Xu, Lu Bu and others sat on both sides, and in the middle, a map was placed.

This map marks the situation of each country.

Today.

The world was divided into thirty-nine countries.

Lu Bing stood up and pointed at the map and said, "Your Majesty, colleagues, except for the Great Xia Dynasty, most of the other thirty-eight dynasties only have one Saint Realm expert!"

"We need to pay attention to the following countries, namely."

"The seven nations of Da Cang, Dalu, Da Chen, Da Han, Da Zhao, Daming, and Da Qiong!"

Da Qiong?

Everyone raised their eyebrows. They knew a little about the situation in the surrounding countries and naturally had heard of the Daqiong Dynasty.

The country was founded shortly.

Weak strength.

Such a small country is worthy of Lu Bing's special mention. Is there anything special about it?
As if seeing everyone's confusion, Lu Bing explained: "Don't underestimate the Great Qiong Dynasty. According to the Jinyiwei's investigation, this country is related to the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
