There have been hereditary titles in the history of the era. They evolved from the legacy of the very early aristocratic system. That kind of title and authority were integrated, and the formation of aristocratic families also evolved in this way.
Since the previous dynasties, inherited titles have been downgraded. After a few generations, there are no titles. If you want to be granted a title, you have to make merit yourself.
The practice of hereditary honorary titles was once practiced by some dynasties. At first, the number seemed small, but it increased year by year, and eventually led to the breeding of a group of idle parasites. It was not a very good plan.
But any plan depends on the background. In the context of this moment, it is the most appropriate plan that can stabilize the rear as quickly as possible. If we really want to raise a group of pigs, it will be a good thing for the court. As for whether it will increase year by year in the future, we are now in the prime of our lives and can continue to operate step by step.
Tang Wanzhuang was talking about the Cui family, which was actually referring to the Cui family. Even the Tang family can inherit the title of marquis, so what about the Cui family
Even if it is just an honorary title and is not as impressive as before, at least it guarantees a stable job for your descendants. It is definitely less worrying than others. As long as the country survives, you will always have something to eat.
With this guarantee, do you dare to let go and fight in the new wave, compete with a group of civilians and religious people in scientific examinations, and welcome the new land tax system
The sword is broken, and it is impossible to restore it to its previous appearance. Are you going to take this step or not
If you want to download it, do it as soon as possible, it will be useless if you are late...
Compared to Li Shentong's massacre of all the ministers, this approach is already the mildest... unless you are determined to establish a new dynasty.
Zhao Changhe reasoned in his mind for a while, thinking that this trick might work on Yang Jingxiu, but it should work on Lao Cui, at least they could negotiate. If they couldn't reach an agreement, he could just elope with Yangyang.
Thinking of this, he heaved a sigh of relief: "I can try."
Tang Wanzhuang fixed her beautiful eyes on him and whispered, "My husband, you must be careful when you leave the capital... Things are different now. In the past, although my husband was dazzling, he was not the focus of anyone's eyes, and no one would do anything to deal with you. But now, anyone with a discerning eye knows that you are the bond that holds this new dynasty together... Including the gods and demons in the heavens, their eyes were once attracted by the late emperor, but now they will also focus on you, especially since you still hold the Book of Heaven..."
Zhao Changhe laughed: "I haven't experienced the pressure of the early days in the martial arts world for a long time, and I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. What's the big deal about the gods and demons? If I can kill one, I can kill the second one!"
Tang Wanzhuang looked at this guy who was full of fighting spirit. She felt a little annoyed like a big child, but she also liked him in her heart.
Although it can be said that Zhao Changhe has changed a lot now, that lawless and rebellious spirit has always been hidden in his bones and has not changed. What attracted Cui Yuanyang and Tang Wanzhuang was this spirit that can inspire more motivation when facing adversity.
Although Zhao Changhe now seems to be the most powerful person in this dynasty, in fact, this dynasty is as fragile as a newborn baby. Whether it is power or high-end military force, the pressure it faces is far greater than before. This is truly the most adverse time and destruction is possible at any time.
Tang Wanzhuang had previously defended Xia Longyuan, and this was also a key point. It was said that Old Xia had caused the chaos, which was true, but objectively speaking, as long as he was alive, there would not be a complete chaos. Now that he is gone, it is really a mess... If it is not chaotic enough, it is because Zhao Changhe is maintaining and cleaning it up, which was something that no one had expected before, and only Tang Wanzhuang had foreseen a little bit.
The most dangerous person in the world right now is Zhao Changhe, but he cannot hide in the Taimiao in the capital like Xia Longyuan, because he has too many things to do.
"You... should disguise yourself when it's time to do so, don't try to be stubborn." Tang Wanzhuang finally stood up, walked to the other side of the coffee table, gently leaned into Zhao Changhe's arms, and gave him a sweet kiss: "I will assist His Majesty with your lover. When you come back, you will see the most prosperous and stable rear area."
Zhao Changhe hugged her and joked, "Are you sure you're not at odds with Qing'er?"
Tang Wanzhuang's eyes moved, with a hint of seduction: "I have been fighting with her for fifteen years... Now it seems that the fight in the first half of my life was just a rehearsal for the second half of my life. I will have to fight for the rest of my life..."
As she spoke, she slowly leaned over to Zhao Changhe's ear and whispered, "Remember to come back safely. When the time comes... Wanzhuang and she... will fight on the couch for you to see."
This sentence is more effective than any kind reminder of "be careful". Zhao Changhe dares to swear that even if the Heavenly Dao himself comes, he will chop Him off the horse with a knife and crawl back to the capital!
… …
We left Beijing that same day.
As Xia Chichi said, these few days may seem absurd, but they are actually an important internal stabilization process that is indispensable. But when things are done, you can no longer continue to indulge in the gentleness and try all kinds of permutations and combinations...
The current situation is extremely urgent and there is no chance to be a tyrant.
The temptation of Tang Wanzhuang is actually to look forward to the day when the world will be settled, and she will be willing to accompany you in any ridiculous way. Sanniang has already left in advance and went to Huangsha Market, where she served as the "market leader" for a while but found it boring and stopped.
Although he hadn't been the leader for long, it was different when he was the leader. That place was indeed the base of the Four Symbols Sect outside the Great Wall, with elite followers in charge. They were familiar with the situation and had a mobile force at their disposal. Once Xuanwu returned, it would be a sudden storm for the outside of the Great Wall.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, she is really an unfathomable devil.
Zhao Changhe was dressed in the yellow-faced image commonly seen in the early days, and rode his black horse straight to Qinghe.
The black horse can fly, but he dare not use it to fly. This is the most tragic thing now... because it is too eye-catching. Now that he has quietly left the capital, no one will know about it for a while. Once he flies around on the horse and falls into the eyes of the gods and demons with ulterior motives, it will be no different from saying "fire at me" in a blatant way.
In order to achieve the goal of competing with Wanzhuang Zhuque in the future, this caution must be maintained.
Qinghe is only 700 miles away from the capital, and there are no mountains along the way, just a flat road. Zhao Changhe is used to observing the scenery along the way, and this time he really felt the tense atmosphere in Hebei.
When I went to Beijing earlier, the section from Qinghe to the capital was a prosperous place at the foot of the emperor. Although there were refugees and beggars, there were many merchants and travelers along the way, and post stations were everywhere, with resting places almost every section. But this time, I found that many post stations were deserted and the whole road was desolate.
When passing through some towns, people looked at them with fear, until they saw that there was only one knight, then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought there was a war..." In the town tavern, a customer at the next table explained to Zhao Changhe: "Brother, you are riding a horse like a horse, if you are not fighting, you must be a messenger..."
Zhao Changhe remained calm: "Why would Hebei and the capital go to war?"
"Isn't that something that everyone knows? The previous emperor cut off the foundation of the family. Qinghe Cui is a vegetarian... The situation has been tense for a long time."
"Qinghe Cui can't represent the entire Yanzhao territory."
"Almost... The late emperor only knew how to tamper with the sword, but didn't know how to do anything else. Over the years, which aristocratic family didn't split across states and counties? It might be an exaggeration to say that the entire Zhao area belongs to the Cui family. It's not a big problem to say that two-thirds of it belongs to the Cui family. The remaining one-third belongs to the Lu family..."
The guests at another table chimed in: "Hey, you say, King Shura was named King of Zhao, does that have any meaning?"
"It means that the Cui family's territory is given to King Shura?"
"I think that's probably the case. Didn't Prince Zhao and Miss Cui have an engagement? Given the current atmosphere, I don't think it's going to happen..."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
This Zhao Wang was an emergency measure that Xia Chichi came up with after Tang Wanzhuang forced her to marry him in public. At that time, she had no time to consider the political significance of a word, so she just used the surname to deal with it casually. But as long as someone is interested in it, it seems to be quite convincing. At least it is hard to say what the Cui family thinks...
There seems to be some other troubles on this mission...
The Wang family, the Li family, and so on, would not be willing to let the Cui family and Zhao Changhe rekindle the engagement, and they would try every means to sabotage it.
if it is like this…
"Sir, the wine is here~" The waiter brought the wine and meat with a smile, saying, "Sir, I've been waiting for a long time..."
Zhao Changhe looked at the steam rising from the hot wine in front of him with a half-smile, and whispered to himself: "I haven't encountered stories of poisoning and assassination even when I go out to eat. I miss it so much... I didn't expect that the tricks of Tingxue Tower have not improved at all. It's really disappointing..."
