Xiao Zicheng only felt that happiness came too suddenly.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to the royal family, if a different surname wants to be awarded a title, he must have real military achievements.

The cheap daddy's throne of Count Yongyi was inherited when he was founded.

The reason for this is that the title of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not bad in value.

Not to mention, Emperor Jingping rewarded him with a title with real food, which is a real fief.

In other words, from now on, as long as Xiao Zicheng continues to inherit, he can almost guarantee the continuation of his title and be hereditary, and his children and grandchildren will be able to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

As long as the children and grandchildren are not smart and are incited to subvert the Great Zhou, they are almost like golden rice bowls.

Not to mention, the court would also pay rice every year, and taxes in the fiefs could be entered into the private treasury, and there were often other dispatches when adults were adults.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a situation where one or two titles have occurred.

Now that Your Majesty has granted himself the Viscount of Shancheng, this is really the first time that the Great Zhou Dynasty has opened up the world.

Viscount is not that easy to be a viscount. Thinking about the ancestor of the Xiao family back then, he was successful in life and death, so he earned a third-class title for his descendants.

Now that he has no military achievements, he was appointed as a viscount by the emperor. Xiao Zicheng can foresee that Kyoto will cause an uproar tomorrow because of this incident.

One door and two ranks are not simply a relationship where one plus one equals two, but the result of one plus one being much greater than two.

If he has a son in the future, he can split up his family, one inherits the title of Earl Yongyi and the other inherits the title of Viscount of Shancheng.

But these are not the most exciting things. What Xiao Zicheng didn't expect was that Emperor Jingping was so generous and directly rewarded the mountain city to him as a fiefdom.

Now that winter is getting colder, this coal mine is a huge treasure pot, with many pairs of eyes staring here.

If the Xiao family had not been a lord and Xiao Fangzhi held military power, then would the Deng family have suffered such a loss? It would have been a big deal.

Even so, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not joined the gang, this mountain city coal mine might not have been able to be so peaceful.

However, this mountain city is so close to Kyoto, and His Majesty will give him a fiefdom, probably because of another purpose.

Xiao Zicheng was suddenly granted the title of viscount. In this era, titles were much more useful than silver.

Especially for the infamous self, with the title of Shancheng Viscount, as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty does not perish, there will be no worries about food and clothing in this life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zicheng hurriedly said:

"Thank you for your grace, your majesty..."

Emperor Jingping looked like he was so proud that he raised his eyebrows gently, stared at Xiao Zicheng and said coldly:

"Stop, I ordered you to be a viscount at a young age. I am really worried. It's better to let you wake up, and kneel down and straighten you!"

Xiao Zicheng roared in his heart, I, Xiao Zicheng, traveled through time, kneeled down to the sky, kneeled on the ground, and knelt on my parents...

I am a modern man. I have gold under my knees. Now I have given you all the gold, and I still ask for a posture?

But after thinking about it, I became timid again, so I took the time to tidy up my kneeling posture.

It’s not that my master is shameless, it’s because the emperor gave too much...

Zhu Ying looked at Xiao Zicheng being defeated, but just grinned and wanted to laugh.

Unsuccessfully, Emperor Jingping's face darkened and he shouted coldly:

"You go to Xiao Zicheng's side."

This... what do you mean...

Zhu Rong, who was still watching the show, became confused in an instant and couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts.

Zhu Ying couldn't help but feel guilty and said:

"Father..."

Emperor Jingping had a cold face and a stern tone.

"I heard that your coal transactions are very big and have begun to develop outside Kyoto?"

“…”

Xiao Zicheng's face was a little stiff. The mountain city coal stones have been sold in Kyoto for a winter. With the Jinyiwei there, Emperor Jingping cannot know it now.

Before, they were all peaceful and turned a blind eye to him and the prince's behavior.

Why are you turning aside now and talking about Shancheng Coal Mine...

Or is the emperor still afraid of the mountain city because of the Manichaeism?

Xiao Zicheng felt a chill on his spine and hesitated and explained:

"Actually it's not big... I've been paying full taxes... Besides, Shancheng has always been in a loss..."

Seeing that Emperor Jingping seemed a little angry, Zhu Ying couldn't help but explain:

"My father, Xiao Zicheng's words are true, and the son minister can testify."

Emperor Jingping looked at the two of them with a smile, then turned around and said lightly:

"You guys retreat for the time being, I have something to say to the prince and the viscount of Shancheng."

Although Zhang Hong and others were curious, since the emperor spoke, they had to obey.

After everyone retreated for a while, Emperor Jingping underestimated:

"Xiao Zicheng, your little cleverness is not enough in my opinion. Do you think that if the Deng family can stop being defeated by the prince?

Let me tell you the truth. The Deng family wrote letters to impeach you several times, and the court officials also complained about you. I helped you suppress it."

Xiao Zicheng squeezed out a smile and tried his best to look flattered:

"Your Majesty is busy with all his affairs, but he is still busy and hard, and he will never be able to repay his death.

Your Majesty's mind is a comprehensive look at the sages, but few people can compare with Your Majesty.

Not to mention that Your Majesty knows each other, it is also a good story to look at the world. In addition, Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son, and I often think that even Yao and Shun are the same.

I am really sad. If there is a saint like Your Majesty in the Great Zhou Dynasty, why worry about the country not being prosperous..."

The only way to deal with Emperor Jingping is to use a strong hammer. Anyway, bragging will make you lose a hair.

The key is to praise the emperor's benevolence and the king and his subjects know each other. If you wear such a high hat, you should be safe.

“…”

Emperor Jingping never expected that this guy was omnipresent.

He was determined to get to the point as soon as possible, and was too lazy to talk to Xiao Zicheng about anything else, so a faint smile appeared on his face.

"There is a detail here. Let's take a look. It's really amazing..."

Xiao Zicheng didn't understand why, so he took the details and immediately became depressed. He couldn't help but sweep towards Lu Bing in the distance.

Madan's Jinyiwei, my master's wealth, has been checked by you, the sixth brother, and it is accurate enough to write. Is it so scary?

Zhu Ying pulled her neck and saw the numbers on the details. She looked like she was about to die and instantly became depressed.

It clearly stated that he would get 456, 23, 30,000 yuan per month for coal stone.

"Your Majesty...you listen to me...a explanation..."

Xiao Zicheng was so upset that His Majesty had just appointed him as a viscount, which proved that he was still very satisfied with him.
