Chapter 840 (1/2)
Therefore, in the Xia state, the reward of fiefdoms is the highest level of reward.
Only those who are above the rank of princes are eligible to be granted fiefs.
However, Wang Xiaojian was surprised that he was not awarded a fief.
It's ”xishangzhou”!
The name of xishangzhou is the state and province.
However, Wang Xiaojian's understanding of Xia state was never heard of. There was also a state called ”Western Shang”.
Wang Xiaojian didn't take the imperial edict immediately, but he was puzzled and said to the old eunuch Lin youque: ”Duke Lin, where is the Western Shangzhou?”
It's very unruly not to receive the Queen's edict at the first time.
However, due to Wang Xiaojian's high status, the old eunuch did not blame him.
As Wang Xiaojian, he did not dare to blame him.
With an easygoing smile and holding the imperial edict, he explained to Wang Xiaojian: ”Zhenguo Gong, after you recover Shangzhou, her majesty, taking the Dashang River as the boundary, divides Shangzhou into eastern Shangzhou and Western Shangzhou. To the east of the Dashang River to the Western pass of the Xia state, it is the eastern Shangzhou. ”
”To the west of the Dashang River and to the western border of the original Shang state, it is xishangzhou! Now, this western Shangzhou is the fiefdom of the Duke of Zhenguo. Everything in the fiefdom belongs to the Duke of Zhenguo. ”
With a smile on his face, Wang Xiaojian's body is shocked.
In the realm of Emperor Wu, Wang Xiaojian's vision and heart are not the same as before.
However, after hearing the eunuch's explanation, his handsome face still showed a very surprised expression.
If it is not the case that the old eunuch Lin has not sent us the imperial edict and said it himself.
He would not believe it. It was such a reward.
Wang Xiaojian helped Ying Xiya to destroy the Shang state and turn it into Shangzhou of Xia state.
But Ying Xiya directly gave him half of Shangzhou!
No.
More than half.
Because Wang Xiaojian knows that Shangzhou has 23 counties in total.
To the west of the Dashang River, there are twelve.
In terms of area, the part to the west of the Dashang river is much larger than that in the East.
Xishangzhou is even bigger than the original Xia state.
But the queen gave him such a large piece of land and made him a fiefdom Lord.
From then on, he will control the right of life and death of Xishang state, and establish its own laws and regulations in Xishang Prefecture, and be able to legally form private army.
How much trust it takes to give him so much.
Wang Xiaojian whispered to himself.
”Wife Xiya, you trust me too much. I have been given such a large piece of land. The area of this fiefdom is now one third of the territory of Xia state. If I have a different mind, I can be my own country in that Western Shangzhou! ”
Wang Xiaojian knows that Ying Xiya loves him, otherwise he will never trust him so much.
If it was not for this reason, Ying Xiya would never have given such a large fief to a prince of the opposite sex.
Because, the hidden danger is too big.
Of course, Wang Xiaojian won't have any different ideas.
After all, the queen Ying Xiya is his woman.
If you really want to say, this Xia state is almost his.
After all, if he and Ying Xiya have children, they will be the princess and Prince of Xia state.
If Ying Xiya abdicates one day.
The new emperor who ascended the throne must be his son.
Wang Yuan didn't think so.
After all, he is still young.
In addition, he really loves Ying Xiya.
He wanted to unify Xia state, partly for the main task, the other part for Ying Xiya.
