Chapter 447 The Eight Kingdoms

Wu Guogong's position is just the beginning.

Liu Muzhi's contribution was indeed great, but it was a flaw that he did not support Liu Song's founding of the country.

Liu Muzhi has been granted the title, so do Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang want to be granted the title?

Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang have been granted seals. Do those military bosses want to be granted seals?

Once this opening was opened, it was almost a feast for the top nobles of the empire.

In fact, as soon as the court meeting ended, the Ministry of Rites had indeed begun to canonize several ministers whose meritorious service could reach the status of "Gong".

Xu Xianzhi, as the successor of Liu Muzhi, made great contributions to the establishment of Liu Song's regime and the country. Even though he is no longer in the center and is still retiring in the south, he is still the biggest contributor to Liu Song's life.

Fu Liang's nature is similar to that of Xu Xianzhi. The only difference is that Xu Xianzhi has completely retreated behind the scenes, but Fu Liang is still in the background of the court.

Although Xie Hui is young, his achievements are all achieved by his own hard work. He has achieved such achievements without borrowing the glory of the Xie family of Chen County. He must be there no matter what.

Needless to say, the king suppresses evil. If he is not made the Duke of the country, the entire military will be torn apart.

Zhu Lingshi had the military exploits to conquer Qiaoshu and preserve Guanzhong, so it would not be too much to give him the position of Duke.

Shen Tianzi has made great contributions. Although he has made some mistakes, his achievements in conquering Tongwan and completely annihilating Hu Xia are worthy of being awarded to a prince.

But there are still some people who are very controversial. Not only the Minister of Rites is not sure, but also people like Wang Xiu and Wang Maide are not sure. In the end, they wrote a list and gave it to Liu Yizhen.

Among them, the most difficult one to choose is Wang Hong and the other is Tan Daoji.

Although Wang Hong was the talker of the Langya Wang family, Liu Yu and Liu Yizhen both used his political power during the stabilization of the Liu Song regime. He himself also served as the prime minister of the Liu Song Dynasty, but...

The Langya Wang family succeeds, and the Langya Wang family fails.

With this status in mind, officials who were well aware of the dangers of the turmoil surrounding the canonization of the state did not dare to easily draw conclusions about Wang Hong.

Another Tan Daoji...

His qualifications are old, but his military achievements are always a little bit behind.

If he was the one who captured Tongwan City this time, he would definitely not lose his position as Duke, but now...

Similar to Tan Daoji is Wang Zhongde.

He is also very strong due to his age and qualifications, but he does not have the kind of record that makes people convinced as soon as he shows it.

All these problems were pushed in front of Liu Yizhen. Wang Xiu's attitude was "You, the emperor, have made the mess yourself, so you have to solve it yourself." Liu Yizhen felt like crying without tears.

"Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, Xie Hui, Wang Zhene, Zhu Lingshi, Shen Tianzi, these six people's positions as Dukes are stable."

"Wang Hong and Tan Daoji..."

In fact, in terms of meritorious service, these two can still add to it.

But whether it is a title of Duke or a knighthood, everything depends on the influence behind it.

With the ban on Wang Hong and the resources of the Langya Wang family, no one knows how much trouble it will cause in the future.

Unlike Wang Hong, the Xie family's current power is actually very scattered.

The orthodox lineage of Xie Xuan is Xie Lingyun, not Xie Hui.

At the same time, Xie Hui is not a direct descendant of Xie An. The appearance of these few mountains made Liu Yizhen feel relieved about the Xie family in Chen County.

But the Langya Wang family is different. Wang Hong is the master of eight serious classics of the Langya Wang family, and a direct descendant of the Prime Minister Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Such an identity allows the Langya Wang family to work together and not fight against each other internally.

Consumption, containment.

If the Wang family of Langya is really given a prince, what will happen in the future can really only be left to God's will.

Wang Hong's problem is not only a headache for these officials, but also a headache for Liu Yizhen.

As for Tan Daoji...

This person is really a bit miserable. Anyone with better luck can securely hold the position of Duke. Now Liu Yizhen is in a difficult position because he cannot achieve anything high or low.

Fortunately, Tan Daoji's problem is not as complicated as Wang Hong's. Considering that the three Tan brothers have fought for Liu Song through life and death, it is not impossible to turn a blind eye to a prince. It will also save future history books. "Liu Yizhen was mean and unkind to Tanga."

Looking back, Liu Yizhen decided to take a gamble on Wang Hong's disposal.

"Wang Hongke can be sealed!"

In this way, Liu Song's position as Duke was confirmed.

"Xu Xianzhi, a native of Tan County in the East China Sea, was granted the title of Duke of Tan, a first-class Duke."

"Fu Liang, a native of Lingzhou County, Beidi County, was granted the title of Duke Yong, a first-class Duke."

"Xie Hui, a native of Yangxia County, Chen County, was granted the title of Duke of Chen, first-class Duke of the State."

"Wang Zhene, a native of Juxian County, Beihai County, was granted the title of Duke of Qin, a first-class Duke."

"Zhu Lingshi, a native of Pei County, Pei County, was granted the title of Duke of Xu, first-class Duke of the State."

"Shen Tianzi, a native of Wukang, Wuxing, was granted the title of Duke of Yue, a first-class Duke."

"Wang Hong, a native of Linyi, Langya, was granted the title of Duke of Qi, the first-class Duke of Qi."

"Tan Daoji, a native of Jinxiang County, Gaoping County, was granted the title of Duke of Ju, first-class Duke."

Duke of the Eight Kingdoms of Liu and Song!

The Four Civilizations and Four Martial Arts are composed of aristocratic families, military personnel, southerners, and northerners. The contradictions between Liu and Song Dynasties seem to be reflected in these eight people, forming a small circle.

In fact, in addition to these few people, there are also some people who have actually stepped into the ranks of "governors".

Just like Wang Xiu.

The only thing he lacks is his qualifications (compared to others). The remaining direct descendants of the emperor, such as Wang Maide and Gao Yun, will all be proper dukes in the future.

However, due to the pursuit of etiquette, the canonization of these few people has to be postponed slightly.

When the list was "leaked", naturally some people were happy and some were worried.

Some questioned how Tan Daoji got in, some stood up for Wang Zhongde, and some sought to recover titles for some of the heroes who died fighting in the early days of Liu Yu's business...

But in any case, this list can be considered fair, at least it has not been completely criticized as soon as it was released.

Some ministers who had previously opposed Liu Muzhi's title of Duke of Wu also kept their mouths shut.

On the one hand, if there are too many dukes, they will naturally become less valuable.

on the other hand……

Liu Muzhi is dead after all, so they can bully him to death.

But among the eight people alive now, who do they dare to bully?

Even Fu Liang, who seemed the least threatening, could jump out and kill a large number of people if he wanted to.

Fortunately, Liu Yizhen did not announce the specific fiefdoms of these princes, which is an important weight for Liu Yizhen's truth. As long as Liu Yizhen does not issue an edict for a day, they will not be the real princes, and they are still far behind the "head of the nine princes" Wu Guogong. .

"Inform me of my decree and invite Wang Zhenxie, Zhu Lingshi, Xie Hui, Fu Liang, Shen Tianzi, and Tan Daoji to the palace for a banquet."

Liu Yizhen promised Wang Hong and Xu Xianzhi that they would enjoy their old age in peace, so he did not bother them.

Besides, Liu Yizhen’s real purpose is not these two.

Those generals who still hold heavy troops are the main meal of this Duke's banquet.
