"Your Majesty, Lord Wu An, Lord Wu Xin and Lord Wu Yang bring their sons to see you."

"Let them come over."

"promise!"

Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, and Tian Ruju brought their sons to ask for an audience?

This is a relatively rare thing.

The state of Wu now has three major generals, namely the Sun family, the Wu family, and the Tian family.

The Tian family is relatively poor, and the only one who is good at it is Tian Rangju. The latter's four sons are average generals, but they have also made some military exploits for the state of Wu.

Sun Wu's three sons, Sun Chi, Sun Ming, and Sun Di, as well as Wu Zixu's two sons, Wu Ming and Wu Liang, were rare general talents. They inherited the excellent genes of their fathers, acquired the unique skills passed down from their families, and had the talent to lead troops.

Very unusual.

To this day, these younger generations hold important positions in the military.

Some are in the imperial army, and some are in the border army.

The Sun family and Wu family of Wu State are similar to the Wang family and Meng family of Qin Dynasty.

"I will see you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the First Emperor, will live forever!"

After seeing Qing Ji in the imperial garden, all the ministers unanimously paid homage to him.

Qingji waved his hand and said: "The second and third sons don't need to be polite. They can live without courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After they all stood up, Qingji asked in a pleasant tone: "The second and third sons came together to see me. Why did they come to see me?"

Wu Zixu stepped forward, bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty, I have come to ask for your orders."

"Please? What's the matter?"

"In recent days, there has been a lot of discussion in the government and the public, saying that Your Majesty wants to restore the feudal system and enable all the disciples and meritorious officials to establish feudal states. However, I think that it is not easy for me, Wu, to dominate the world. How can we repeat the mistakes of the Zhou Dynasty?"

Wu Zixu said sadly: "Therefore, I and others have learned from the pain and decided to ask your Majesty for orders together."

"We, Dawu, will abolish the enfeoffment system from now on and implement the county system throughout the country."

"Perhaps we can make the princes establish kingdoms, run the prefectures and states in parallel, and use blood relatives as a barrier to maintain the unity of the Wu family, so that your majesty can rule from the ground up!"

Wu Zixu spoke very measuredly and did not block the "road".

It is not impossible to establish a feudal state and build a country.

However, only those who were blood relatives of the Wu family and the princes of Qingji were eligible to be enfeoffed and the territories were sealed.

What Qingji wants is their attitude.

After waiting for a long time, Wu Zixu, Sun Wu and others finally got the idea!

This made Qingji very satisfied.

For example, Wu Zixu, Sun Wu, and Tian Ruju, as the meritorious elders of the Wu State, served as generals for more than thirty years and made countless contributions to the unification of the Wu State.

Even such a meritorious official took the initiative to express his support for Qingji's abolition of the enfeoffment system or the establishment of a country without meritorious officials. How dare the rest of the people have any objections?

Those who have done the most credit say they have no objections, how dare they?

…

The next day, Qing Ji convened a group of ministers in the Fengtian Hall in Jinling. All ministers and officials in the court with an official rank of six hundred shi or above must be present to participate.

"It is my intention that in our country of Wu, we will abolish the enfeoffment system and implement the system of prefectures and counties. This is the ancestral system and will be passed down from generation to generation!"

"Yes."

Qing Ji sat on the throne, paused for a moment, and then said: "My sons, the princes of Wu, can establish kingdoms overseas and in foreign lands, and serve as a barrier to the mountains and rivers of Wu."

"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

Seeing that Qing Ji had made such a decision, all the ministers agreed.

This can be considered a compromise.

Qing Ji asked his sons to establish kingdoms overseas, but not in Wu itself.

In fact, Qingji has been planning this matter for many years, but he has never mentioned it to anyone.

"map."

Qingji waved his hand, and two muscular and round-armed warriors in golden armor pulled a huge map and placed it in front of the kings and ministers of the Wu Kingdom.

Qing Ji slowly walked down the stage and asked all the officials to come closer.

"This is Liaodong. During the time of Emperor Shun, it was part of Youzhou, one of the twelve states."

"Wu Zhang."

"My son is here!"

"I will give you 10,000 horses. You should take their family records, prepare enough rations, farm tools, cloth, etc., and rush to Liaodong. You must occupy the land and the people, promote the culture of Wu, and educate the people."

Qing Ji said earnestly and thoughtfully: "From now on, I canonize you as the 'King of Liao' and establish the Liao Kingdom."

"My son, take your orders!"

Wu Zhang solemnly agreed.

Wu Zhang suddenly became a vassal king and was still a vassal king surrounded by other lands. Wu Zhang was a little uncomfortable with it.

Qingji was not writing a "blank check" to Wu Zhang.

Ten thousand horses and their families are at least 50,000 to 60,000 people, plus Su Shen, Gui and Donghu who are entrenched in Liaodong, maybe the population of Liao Kingdom will be more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands by then.

.

This is hardly a small country.

It is worth mentioning that in the era of Emperor Shun, China had the term "Twelve States".

The Twelve Prefectures, that is, the nine prefectures in the Han Dynasty, were separated from Jizhou and merged with the three prefectures. Together with the original nine prefectures, a total of twelve prefectures were formed, namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou.

, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yingzhou.

According to legend, during the Shun Dynasty, the country was divided into twelve states, and each state sealed a mountain as the town's mountain, which was the place for worshiping ancestors. Yiwulu Mountain was named the town's town in Youzhou in the north.

During the Zhou Dynasty, Wulu Mountain was designated as one of the Five Mountains and Five Towns.

The "Liaodong" assigned to Wu Zhang by Qing Ji was the Yiwulu Mountain area, which is modern Liaoning.

Wu Zhang's task was still very arduous. After all, he had to build a Liao Kingdom from scratch.

As for whether Wu Zhang and his descendants can conquer Heilongjiang and Jilin in the future, conquer the Rong and Di there, and expand their territory, it all depends on their own capabilities.

The Liao Kingdom, in Qingji's plan, wanted to dominate the white mountains and black waters.

"Wu Hong."

"My son is here!"

"You lead 10,000 horses and their families to the Kingdom of Jishi. From now on, you will be King Ning and establish the Kingdom of Ning there."

"this……"

Wu Hong felt hesitant.

As the eldest son of Qing Ji, Wu Hong, who was highly respected in the court and public circles of the Wu Kingdom and was filial to his parents, did not want to leave his parents' side.

Furthermore, Wu Hong had doubts in his heart.

"Father, the Ji family kingdom was established overseas by Ji Zi, a relic of the Shang Dynasty. He often sent envoys to pay homage to his father. Now that I, Wu, want to destroy his country, am I... not very kind?"

"kind?"

Qing Ji said earnestly: "Weakness is the original sin. Wherever the sun and moon shine, and where rivers reach, they are all Wu soil!"

"Wu Hong, understand?"

"My son, please obey the king's orders!"

Wu Hong reluctantly agreed.

The Ji clan was the Jizi North Korea in history.

The modern Bangzi Kingdom believes that it is a descendant of Goguryeo, but it does not want to recognize Jizi, whom Goguryeo worshiped.

Jizi, the uncle of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, was the official ancestor who was once honored as "Ji Sheng" in the history of Goguryeo.

He brought with him intellectuals who understood poetry, rituals, music, medicine, yin and yang, and witchcraft, as well as skilled craftsmen who knew various techniques.

They brought the civilization of the Central Plains to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, educated the subjects, and made ancient Korea practice the Chinese rituals and music system, the yamen official system, and the food and daily life gradually followed the customs of the Central Plains.

Politically, Jizi promulgated eight statutory laws prohibiting killing, wounding, and theft; economically, he promoted the land-acreage system of the Yin Shang and the advanced farming and breeding techniques of the Central Plains...

In that country, Jizi indeed lived up to his reputation as a saint.

"Wu Fan."

"My son is here!"
