    "The Duke of Dingguo's attack on the title, the heroine's spoils!

    If I remember correctly, the person who will inherit the title now is the great-grandson of the heroine.

    Their titles change too quickly.

    ????????????????????????????? If the son of Ding Guogong had not made meritorious deeds, at the rate at which their titles were being changed, they would have almost no title to inherit. Wynn, do you think I should let their family not be downgraded and take the title of Marquis again?

    Otherwise, their family would be too pitiful.

    If I remember correctly, the title of Niu Guogong, who was granted the title of Duke together with his family, has just been passed down to the second generation, and because of his military exploits, he still holds the title of Duke.

    Marquis is not that high already. If he were to be demoted to a higher rank, he would be the lowest among the eight founding princes. In another generation or two, at the rate at which the male members of their family are dying, it will only take thirty years. I'm afraid  There will be no one left to attack!  "

    The son of Emperor Qinlan and Qiao Mu, Xiao Hai's contemporary who was posthumously named King of Qin for his meritorious service, was even two years older than Xiao Hai.

    So when they saw Qiao Mu¡¯s memorial, they were already applying for Xiao Hai¡¯s great-grandson to inherit the title.

    It¡¯s inevitable to feel a little emotional.

    At the same time, he felt some pity for the Xiao family.

    "After all, the Xiao family is really miserable. They both have great merits and are the Duke of the country. Others have descendants, but their family is almost extinct.

    He is the same generation as Xiao Hai and is a bit older.

    He is still the emperor now. I don¡¯t know how long it will take for the prince to succeed to the throne, but Xiao Hai¡¯s son and grandson have all passed away, leaving only his great-grandson.

    This gap is so big that it makes those who hear it cry.

    The listener is sad!

    "Your Majesty, you must not do this!

    When the late emperor divided the titles, he had set a rule that those who had no merit in inheriting the title would have to be demoted to at least one rank. Whether he was the first Marquis of Ding Kingdom or the current Crown Prince of Ding Kingdom, they were all people with no merit. If you just  Because their family is pitiful, they are given the chance to inherit the title of marquis for one more generation.

    Other honorable people will definitely be dissatisfied.

    They will even follow suit.

    Your Majesty, you are not worried about few but about inequality!

    "This hole must never be opened. A thousand-mile embankment will be destroyed by an ant nest. Once this hole is opened."

    The Lordship system established by the late emperor.

    It¡¯s like a dam destroyed by an ant nest.

    After several generations, it will inevitably collapse completely!

    Your Majesty, please think twice!  "

    As the writing eunuch, Huaien has always been known for his loyalty and impartial advice, so of course it is impossible to violate his own principles just because he feels pity for someone at this time. He still has to give some advice when he should.

    "But with the Xiao family's situation, no matter how hard other nobles follow their example, they probably won't be able to follow suit. They can't let their family pass on to only one generation. Every generation has the risk of losing their descendants!"

    It has to be said that Emperor Qinlan's perspective is also strange. He didn't pay attention to the advice given by Huai'en at all, but directly pointed out the key points of his understanding. Other nobles could not imitate this.

    He even felt that if any other noble family could be like the Xiao family, then he would not hesitate to let their family title be passed down to one more generation.

    Although Emperor Qinlan¡¯s words made Hua En want to roll his eyes, he still continued to admonish:

    "Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said about other nobles will follow suit does not mean that they will imitate the current situation of the Xiao family, but that they will imitate this matter and use various ways of pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy.

    ¡°And your Majesty should also understand.

    The most difficult thing about many things is the beginning!

    ¡°Corrupt officials will never stop after they commit corruption for the first time. Once this kind of thing starts, others will follow suit later.

    When the time comes, future generations of emperors will remember it.

    It¡¯s you who started this bad thing!  "

    "That's all, I can't speak to you.

    ¡°Then let their family be demoted to the first rank.

    ?????????????????????????????? "

    Emperor Qinlan is getting older, and what he fears most now is that he will have a bad reputation after his death. So as soon as Hua En mentioned his posthumous name to him, he immediately compromised. No matter how pitiful the Xiao family was, it would not be as good as his posthumous name.  He was going to be a holy king, so how could he be stained by this?

    "Your Majesty, the earl is no longer qualified to use the title with the national character, so the title must be changed!"

    Wynn continued.

    ¡°Well, let¡¯s change the title to Uncle Dingjiang.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbgs out out, and give me something from my private treasury.  "

    "No!"

    This time Wynn will notWhat's the persuasion?

    After all, the instructions this time were in compliance with the rules.

    ??????????????????? However, the specific edict was not drafted that quickly. We had to wait until Emperor Qinlan read the memorial before Wynn could find time to fulfill his duties as a eunuch.

    Help the emperor draw up some unimportant decrees.

    Not long after, a new piece of information was handed over from the following. It was handed over by the governor of the capital. It mainly explained the actions of Qiao Mu and the Dingguo Mansion today so that Emperor Qinlan would know.

    Although what Qiao Mu and the others did today was not a big one, they mobilized hundreds of private soldiers and had hundreds of slaves to deal with at the same time.

    Over a hundred of them could be sentenced to death.

    Matters involving so many death row prisoners are rarely encountered except for the emperor personally ordering the confiscation of homes and the extermination of clans. Therefore, the governor of the capital naturally does not dare to make private opinions. When local officials in other places encounter such things, it may be  Report to superiors.

    But there is no superior on the capital¡¯s side.

    They can only report directly to the emperor.

    Then, Emperor Qinlan saw the words Dingguofu and Jinguohou again, and at the same time he also understood the big moves Qiao Mu had made today.

    Then, he asked Xiang Huaien in surprise:

    ¡°Is what is written in this book true?

    That heroine really confiscated nearly two million taels of cash from the houses of their servants. The total value of other land and properties was more than two million taels.

    Gold, silver and physical objects are superimposed.

    Wouldn¡¯t that mean five million taels of property?  "

    Emperor Qinlan's thinking is still clear and strange. Others are surprised that the servants of Dingguo Mansion are so courageous and admire the courage of the old lady of Dingguo Mansion.

    But he was directly attracted by the numbers.

    Being attracted by so many possessions.

    "Your Majesty, since it was handed over by the governor of the capital, I think there should be no problem with the numbers."

    Although Huaien didn't read the details, he believed that in this matter, the two families of Jingcheng Prefecture and Dingguo Prefecture were not stupid enough to jointly report false figures.

    People only underreport their own assets.

    No one would intentionally overreport.

    Especially those who are officials.

    Although there are not as many restrictions as being an official, you will not spend millions making up nonsense.

    ¡°But how could they be so greedy?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the Dingguo Mansion, they do have so much money for them to greedy, 5 million taels. Now the annual income of the treasury is only about 30 million taels.

    I can¡¯t even get five million taels from my private treasury.  "

    Yes, Emperor Qinlan was a little jealous.

    At the same time, I also had some doubts about where Qiao Mu and his family got so much money, and whether they had done something illegal or robbed them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
