Chapter 1125: Fief

Now that more than 20 days had passed, Qi Xiuyuan had long planned to reward the meritorious officials, be it official titles, gold, silver, or jewelry. However, this had to be delayed until now because of Qi Haoran.

Long before the expedition, the ministers had a premonition that Qi Haoran would probably be conferred the title of King after this battle. And once the army returned to the imperial court, Qi Xiuyuan had indeed revealed his intention to confer Qi Haoran the title of King. When the time came, he would also be conferred his fief.

As he would be the first King to be conferred by Great Qi, it was of significant importance. Thus, it had to wait until he returned to the capital.

Before this, Qi Xiuyuan had never asked Qi Haoran what kind of fief he wanted because in his understanding, his younger brother would naturally go to a border town to live up to his status as a famous general.

Those who could discuss politics in the Imperial Study were all officials above the third-grade. They knew that Prince Rong’s conferral was only the beginning. As the princes grew up, there would be many more such conferrals in the future. As the conferrals of different dynasties were different, Prince Rong’s conferral would serve as a benchmark. In the future, the conferral of the dukes and princes of Great Qi would be based on this.

Therefore, the important ministers in the Imperial Study highly regarded this matter. Before Qi Haoran could speak, Rong Xuan, speaking on behalf of the officials, raised a question regarding the rights granted to vassal kings in their fiefdoms.

Qi Xiuyuan had always discussed the issue of fiefdom with Rong Xuan and Fan Zijin. Knowing that Rong Xuan was acting as a bridge before the Emperor and ministers, he told them about the rights and obligations of a vassal king.
