"Congratulations to Brother Lin for being crowned king!"
Prince Liang, Princess Shenxian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others all held their hands in congratulations.
Lin Bai was confused.
King Qin, this is obviously a given word given by the king of Chu who is subordinate to Yizi.
This made Lin Bai frown a little.
The last time Emperor Chu granted him the title of Marquis, he was also confused.
At that time, according to Lin Bai's meritorious service, he should have been awarded the title of Marquis, just like Chen Yule.
But Emperor Chu only gave him one word, and Lin Bai became confused and became a marquis.
Nowadays, when you are granted the title of king, it stands to reason that it should be like "King Chaining", "King Yong'an" and others, conferring a two-character title.
However, after the Emperor of Chu bestowed upon him the territory of "Thousand States of Ancient Qin", he inexplicably said that "King of Ancient Qin" was not pleasant to hear, so he removed the ancient characters and gave Lin Bai the title of King of Qin.
This is the top-level title within the title system of Chu State.
This also shows that... Lin Bai has almost reached the pinnacle of Chu Kingdom's dynasty title. If he wants to go further, he can only raise an army to rebel and seize the Chu Kingdom's throne.
"Brother Lin, why don't you thank me quickly?"
His Highness King Chen saw Lin Bai stunned and hurriedly urged him in a low voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Lin Bai thank you."
After Lin Bai came to his senses, he immediately handed over his hands and thanked him.
Emperor Chu nodded and said: "Ancient Qin Qianzhou now belongs to your territory, but I'm afraid you won't be able to go to Ancient Qin Qianzhou for appointment in the near future. I will notify Tianshui Sect to take over Ancient Qin Qianzhou."
"It just so happens that Ancient Qin Qianzhou is not too far from Tianshui Sect."
Lin Bai understood immediately.
It seems that today's great show of bestowing titles on the king was already discussed between His Highness King Chen and Emperor Chu.
Even the territory chosen for Lin Bai was near the Eighteen Imperial States and not too far from Tianshui Sect.
"Lin Bai, if you give me the title of queen, you can get one million immortal jade as an offering."
"Every thousand years in the future, you can come to Chu State to receive an offering of one million immortal jade."
Emperor Chu said slowly.
hiss……
Five hundred thousand immortal jade!
Lin Bai was stunned.
In the Chu Dynasty, a one-character prince can receive an offering of five hundred thousand immortal jade every one thousand years.
This sounds like a good idea.
So, even if a one-character king can live for ten thousand years, he is estimated to receive five million immortal jade at a minimum.
this……
Lin Bai's pupils shrank, and he said with great shock... No wonder the major palaces of Chu State now have strong soldiers and horses, and can cultivate so many strong men.
"You have the right to choose one-third of the resources and treasures that the ancient Qin Qianzhous paid tribute to the Chu State every hundred years to keep."
Emperor Chu continued.
Lin Bai knew this privilege very well.
The division of the pattern in the Eastern Region of the Demon Realm is very clear, and the general meaning is...the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp.
The small state boundaries in the eastern part of the demon world pay tribute to the sects and families that control the state boundaries, and the sects and families that control several state boundaries need to pay tribute to larger sects.
The sect that rules thousands of states needs to pay tribute to the most prosperous sect.
For example... when Lin Bai first arrived at the Eternal Demon Sect, where the Demon Realm was located, there were more than ten states under the Eternal Demon Sect at that time.
There are countless sects and families in those more than ten state boundaries, and they all need to pay tribute to the Eternal Demon Sect. They must pay a certain amount of treasures and resources obtained within the state boundaries to the Eternal Demon Sect.
The Eternal Demon Sect needs to pay tribute to Xie Yue Qianzhou.
In the same way, Xie Yue Qianzhou needs to pay tribute to Qitian Sect.
Like the top sects of the Chu State, they also have many Qianzhou territories under their command.
For example, Tianshui Sect...under the command of Tianshui Sect, there are seven thousand states under the jurisdiction of Tianshui Sect.
These seven thousand states belong to the Tianshui Sect and pay tribute.
This is already very little territory.
When the Tianshui Sect was at its peak, it had a total of twenty-eight Qianzhou territories under its command.
Unfortunately, after the Jiuyou Demon Palace was destroyed 100,000 years ago, there were problems with the Tianshui Sect's high-level decision-making, which resulted in it being suppressed by the Chu State, and the territory of the twenty-eight thousand states was suddenly reduced to more than a dozen.
After a hundred thousand years, due to the erosion of other sects and families, there are now only seven left.
Among the five families and seven sects of the Chu State today, the Qian family owns the largest territory of Qianzhou.
The Qian family owns a total of seventy-two thousand states, followed by the Chen family, who own twenty-nine thousand states.
Lin Bai only had a Qianzhou territory, which was not bad for Lin Bai personally.
If one day Lin Bai is tired of the intrigues in the world of cultivation, he can go back to Qianzhou in ancient Qin and become a free king who doesn't care about worldly affairs.
Ancient Qin Qianzhou had to pay tribute to Ancient Qin Qianzhou every hundred years, and Lin Bai, as the lord of Ancient Qin Qianzhou, had the right to select one-third of the tribute treasures and resources to keep.
With these resources, Lin Bai was enough to live a happy life.
Lin Bai laughed and suddenly felt that being crowned king was not a bad thing.
"Lin Bai, although you have been crowned king, you are not affiliated with the Chu State's military headquarters."
"So even if you have your own territory and territory, you have no right to have your own army within the territory."
"Of course, you can still recruit some strong people to form a bodyguard, or you can establish a sect or family to protect your territory."
"But you need to pay for the cost of recruiting strong men and forming a escort team yourself."
Emperor Chu said slowly.
Lin Bai asked: "Can I entrust my territory and territories to the Tianshui Sect?"
Emperor Chu spread his hands and said: "That's nature, that's your territory, you can leave it to whoever you want to take care of it."
"But there's one premise."
"Peace must be ensured within the territory. If there is unrest, as the lord of the territory, you have the right to suppress the rebellion."
Lin Bai nodded to express his understanding.
He currently does not have the energy to manage Qianzhou in Ancient Qin, so he can just leave this place to Tianshui Sect to take care of it.
Anyway, Emperor Chu had already thought about it when he selected the territory for Lin Bai, and specially selected a territory close to Tianshui Sect in order to facilitate Lin Bai to hand over the territory to Tianshui Sect for management.
"Since Lin Bai has been crowned king, let's follow Prince Hong's Mansion and Prince Liang's Mansion to the territory of the Seven Nights Divine Sect."
Emperor Chu said solemnly: "This time the Chu State rushed to the territory of the Qiye Shenzong, with Qin Wang Lin Bai, Princess Chu Tinghan, Princess Shenxian as the main envoys, and Chu Tingxue, Chu Zimo, Chao Yushi, Zhang Linghu and others as the envoys.
auxiliary."
"After you have counted the troops, you can set off immediately without any delay."
Lin Bai, Chu Tinghan, and Princess Shenxian immediately accepted the order.
then.
The discussion in the Golden Palace was temporarily over. Lin Bai, Princess Shenxian, Chu Tinghan and others left the Golden Palace and started to prepare.
Prince Liang, His Highness Prince Chen and others continued to stay in the Golden Palace to discuss matters.
After all, the Eastern Territory and the Northern Territory are about to fight at this moment. All aspects of the Chu State have to mobilize troops and generals, and there are more and more things to discuss.
