Chapter 164: Enfeoffment Order

"I told you to come over!"

The woman repeated it again, and then without waiting for his reaction, she walked to a nearby pavilion and sat down.

Shen Wuming hesitated for a moment.

Although I have recently learned Buddhist techniques, it is reasonable to say that I can restrain female ghosts.

However, thinking of the strength of this ghost, he finally came to sit opposite her unwillingly.

"Girl, what are your orders?"

Shen Wuming spoke tentatively.

I haven't encountered a female ghost for so long, and she suddenly appeared, and she didn't beat myself up like she did at first.

There must be something wrong, right?

If they could talk, Shen Wuming would still be willing to talk to her. After all, she was not as powerful as others.

You have to be cowardly when you should be cowardly.

The female ghost raised her eyes slightly, stretched out her hand, and a pot of tea appeared out of thin air on the table in front of them.

There are two glass cups next to it.

With a flick of a finger.

The teapot flew up on its own, the spout tilted, and silver-like tea poured into the cup.

"Drink tea!"

After the female ghost finished speaking, she picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Shen Wuming pursed his lips and also picked up a glass.

Anyway, I can't resist this scene, so I'd better not anger this female tyrannosaurus.

"Hey!"

As the tea entered his throat, Shen Wuming's eyes suddenly lit up, "This tea feels so real!"

"And...it tastes good, even better than the tea given by the late emperor that my father-in-law secretly kept."

The tea enters the throat and is extremely refreshing.

Refreshing.

He even felt that his consciousness had become much clearer, and even his figure in the dream became more solid.

"Why did you tell Yang Wanchun today that you would fully support the emperor?"

The female ghost spoke calmly.

Shen Wuming was suddenly startled, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the glass cup on the ground.

"You...how do you know?"

Shen Wuming suddenly felt a little uneasy. What he told Yang Wanchun was in Rongguo Mansion.

Logically speaking, heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know.

Except for the two of them, no one else knew about it. Why did this female ghost know everything about it?

Could it be possible that a ghost has possessed him?

"Who are you? Are you in my body? Grandpa?"

Shen Wuming was a little unsure of the whereabouts of this female ghost, and swallowed, "Or do you live in Rongguo Mansion?"

"What do you think?" The woman did not answer directly, but just looked at him with interest.

Shen Wuming pursed his lips, "You answer my question, and I'll answer the question you just asked."

"Are you negotiating terms with me?" The woman raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and her aura gradually became fierce.

But then she thought of something, and she lowered her eyebrows and sighed, "Rongguo Mansion is full of holes. I want to find out some news. Is it difficult?"

Shen Wuming was thoughtful. Does this sentence mean that there are spies in Rongguo Mansion?

It even revealed deeper information.

This female ghost is not a female ghost, but more like what Ye Qingcheng said about strong men falling into dreams, from the Yin Yang family?

He was speculating in his mind, but his face remained calm, "I support Your Majesty, is there any problem with this?"

"A king, a king, a minister, a father, a son, a son. As a minister, I urge Duke Rong to support your majesty. Isn't this the right thing to do?"

The woman was a little confused, "If you support His Majesty, why did you come up with the technique of buoyancy gold testing before?"

"The emperor used the mint gold system to reduce the vassal vassal. If you do this, everyone will think you are going against the emperor."

"Why should I go against the emperor?" Shen Wuming shrugged, "I have no grudge against her."

"I made this thing before because it was needed for my family, nothing else."

"If I really want to say it, the most I think is that the emperor's methods are a bit petty and cannot be put on the stage."

"Huh?" The woman looked a little displeased, "This is a grand and upright move, so what's wrong with it?"

"Every official in the court, including the ministers and ministers, didn't refute. It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"

Shen Wuming rolled his eyes. These people still had too strict a hierarchy.

In short, they are slaves of the feudal system.

"The world belongs to the people of the world, and the emperor belongs to the people of the world. Everyone can say, what happened to me, a commoner?"

After hearing this, the woman was thoughtful, playing with the glass cup in her hand, her eyes a little complicated.

"Then what do you think is a more generous way?"

"Tweet the grace order!"

Shen Wuming replied subconsciously.

Anyone who has studied history knows that the Tweeting Order is definitely one of the top conspiracies in the entire history.

Especially for the matter of cutting down vassals, there is basically no better way.

However, in this world, three provinces and six ministries have appeared, but the order of grace has not yet appeared.

There is no such person as Zhufuyan.

"Tweet the grace order?"

The woman was a little confused, "You keep talking, I'll listen."

"It's very simple. Once a prince dies, his title and territory will be inherited by his eldest son."

"If something happens to the eldest son, there will be the second son, the third son, etc., but in general, the inheritance is in order."

"The other is the royal family. For example, after the death of King Qi, the throne of King Qi will be inherited by the eldest son, and the fiefdom will also be handed over to the eldest son."

"But his other sons will be canonized by the court with other titles and given fiefdoms."

For example, King Changle was such a case. His territory was not carved out of King Qi's fiefdom.

But the court gave it separately.

"If things go on like this, if there is no external expansion, the land that the imperial court can control will become less and less, and the number of princes will increase."

"But the order of grace is different. In the name of grace, all legitimate sons and concubines have the right to inherit."

"For example, if Duke Rong Guo has several sons, let them all inherit the fiefdom of Rong Guo Mansion."

"After this, although the next generation of Rongguo Duke will still be a duke, the fiefdom will be divided."

"If things continue like this, in just three or five generations, the fiefdoms of the princes in the world will turn into counties, villages, or even small villages!"

"Again, like the children of the royal family, why do the sons of kings need to be given separate fiefdoms? Just divide them from the fiefdoms of their fathers!"

Shen Wuming briefly summarized the elements of the grace order, and the woman immediately understood.

It has to be said that this is indeed a plan to draw money from under the cauldron.

"But will the princes definitely listen?"

The woman frowned and said: "Those princes, they may not execute whatever your court says."

"Don't tell me that the emperor can beat them all to death. That is a last resort."

"If one day, the emperor wants to rely on personal force to suppress the princes, the world will not be far from collapse."

Shen Wuming spread his hands.

"Of course I know this truth, but the beauty of the grace order is that the emperor doesn't have to take action."

"You have to know that except for the children of the royal family, the children of other princes and powerful people have no right to inherit except the eldest son."

"Now that they have the support of the imperial court, do you think their sons will side with His Majesty or their fathers?"
