"I gave the lord of King Ruzhao, the fief Liuqiu, the feudal state, thought it was a fence, and the Tang Dynasty was screened."
Li Chengqian held a Tang knife in his hand and placed it on the shoulder of Zhang Chao's eldest son, Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing knelt on one knee, and on his body was a brand new set of knight's plate armor, on which was carved the family crest of the white tiger Xuanniao Li Shuzhi.
At the age of fifteen, Zhang Jing officially performed the coronation ceremony and became an adult.
After the coronation ceremony, he officially married the emperor's sister, Princess Changle, and became the captain of the horse.
After the wedding, in the present day.
Cheng Qian was in the House of Nobles of the Parliament, and under the witness of countless nobles, he officially knighted Zhang Jing.
When Zhang Jing was crowned, he had to be given the word Boyu, and the fifteen-year-old Zhang Jing was tall and handsome, and he became more mature and stable after marriage.
He knelt on one knee, placed his right fist on his left chest, and swore an oath in a loud voice.
"Swear to heaven to make my will clear.
Do not bully the weak, spend time modestly, and do not fear strong enemies in the battles you have experienced" In the presence of thousands of nobles, the emperor withdrew his sword.
Then he gave this sword to Zhang Jing, and along with the sword, there was also a generation of well-made armor, which was carved with a map of the conferred territory, so it was also called lord armor.
Swords, armor, and the Lord's Gold Seal, a fish talisman representing the power of the territory, and a badge and banner painted with the lord's coat of arms.
Knighthood, feudalization, and statehood.
Liuqiu was originally subordinate to the Zhang family in Bashang, but the fiefs of several children of the Zhang family were combined.
And now, Cheng Qian has officially changed the entire Liuqiu to Zhang Jing alone.
Zhang Jing's title was also specially changed to Zhao Guogong.
Zhang Chao is the king of Anguo, and his son is the Duke of Zhao, which can be regarded as a special grace of Chengqian.
The ceremony is complete.
Since then, Zhang Jing has officially become a member of the Tang Dynasty nobles, and officially divided the feudal state, and also officially obtained the qualification of a member of the House of Nobles of the Parliament and became a member of the Parliament.
The entire island of Liuqiu has become Zhang Jing's fief, he can have 5,000 soldiers and horses in the territory, and he will also own half of all the taxes of the fief Liuqiu. and obtained the wartime command of the officers and soldiers stationed in Liuqiu by the imperial court.
As the actual feudal prince of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Jing's territory is very good.
Zhang Chao went up and helped his son up.
"From now on, you are the vassal lord of the Tang Dynasty, the screen of the Tang Dynasty, you must remember today's oath, always be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, guard the court, defend your territory, and protect your people."
Council Hall.
The nobles were full of envy. is only fifteen years old, a milky hairy child, but he has to seal the title of duke of the country all of a sudden, especially this fiefdom, eight hundred miles of Liuqiu.
Today's Tang nobles are not more than ten years ago.
They had long known that Liuqiu was huge, close to Fujian, a huge island of 800 miles.
In particular, the island has a suitable climate, fertile land and abundant rainfall.
At the same time, it is very convenient to develop trade on the sea trade route.
The Zhang family has been running Liuqiu Island for more than ten years, and now the annual grain and sugar output there is quite amazing.
Not to mention the slaves, deerskins, sulphur, coal, and iron on the island of Ryuqiu, which were all extremely profitable outputs.
Zhang Chao looked at his tall and handsome son, and his heart was full of relief.
The son has grown up, and after this ceremony, Zhang Jing will go to the fiefdom to ask for it.
Officially started his lord trial journey, after more than ten years of development, it is now the best and most developed piece of the Zhang family's territory, especially its special pattern of being close to the mainland, but it is a separate island, so that the Zhang family has a strong control over here.
There are many vassals and stewards of the Zhang family, and there is an effective management system and personnel system.
Zhang Jing went over, with everyone's assistance, Zhang Chao was not worried.
If Zhang Jing has the ability, he can do better with everyone's help.
If he doesn't have the ability, then with the management of the vassals, nothing will hurt.
As a feudal territory of the Zhang family, the Zhang family owns half of the taxes, as well as the ability to own private soldiers in the territory, and can command the local militia at the same time.
In wartime, it was even possible to temporarily take over the garrison of the imperial court in the territory.
The imperial court has the administrative and tax power of the territory, and the administrative management and tax collection are all under the imperial court.
The imperial court can also garrison troops within the territory.
This kind of sub-feudalism is not completely feudal, but at least it can be regarded as a sub-feudal.
What Zhang Chao hopes is that in the future, the territory will have more power in the fiefdom, such as the right to govern the people.

It was soon New Year's Day, and a large number of vassals and local ministers entered the capital to gather.
This year has been an eventful year, with so many things happening, especially the change of imperial power, so that no one in the local ministers and feudal nobles dares not to come.
If you don't come at this time, the problem will be huge.
The eldest son, Zhang Jing, has been crowned and married, and now he is officially conferred the title, and he will be a feudal lord after the year.
Erlang Li Hui's marriage has been set a date, and a wedding will be held for Li Hui after the year, and after the marriage, it will also be officially conferred and then the feudal domain.
The five eldest sons are all eager to go to the territory, and Zhang Chao is also willing to see them go to the fiefdom as soon as possible.
However, his precondition will not change, first crowned, then married, and then conferred the title.
At the age of fifteen, he was given the title of a vassal domain, which is already quite amazing, and it is also because the children of the Zhang family are so precocious, even if the children of other families are knighted by their fathers and brothers, don't they have to be at least eighteen years old before they are officially conferred the title of vassal.
Before the official grant, the territory can be entrusted by the family or the imperial court, and the tax revenue of the territory can still be half, but the territory is not responsible for being attacked and lost.
And if it has already become a feudal domain, then the territory is lost, and it is possible to demote or cut the feudal domain.
"Watch out for the steps, Your Majesty."
Zhang Chao accompanied Cheng Qian out of the house, and the two monarchs and ministers are now cooperating more and more tacitly.
Cheng Qian was in charge of the cabinet, presided over the daily affairs of the imperial court, and managed all kinds of opportunities, but he managed the government in an orderly manner.
For various affairs, the disposal strategy proposed by Tie Huang was presented, and Cheng Qian did not refute the idea after reading it, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy also admired the cabinet's handling very much.
The council is functioning normally and everything is in order.
Last year's wars and floods caused the imperial court to suffer a lot of losses.
When Zhang Chao took over the imperial court, he wanted to reorganize the center, reorganize the army, and appease the localities, disaster relief and people.
But everything has been done very well, the people affected by the disaster have been exempted from paying for one year, they have also received relief and resettlement, and the recovery of production after the disaster has also been smooth, and order has been restored in all places, and there is no such chaos as last year.
Especially in the economy, paper money began to circulate again, although now many people no longer trust paper money, like to use copper money and gold and silver coins, but at least paper money is still in circulation, a large number of copper coins minting, plus a large number of gold and silver coins circulation, is now metal money and paper money at the same time.
The most important thing is that workshops in various places have started again.
The reorganization of the army also went smoothly, and there was no further trouble.
The guards are pro-army, the left and right Jin Wuwei, and the left and right Qianniuwei have been officially selected and formed, and the four armies are 80,000 horses, responsible for the security of the Beijing division and the palace.
Next, the second batch of six armies of the Emperor's Guards are also being reorganized, and they will be able to complete their formation before the New Year.
Many soldiers have already taken the bounty and returned to their hometowns for the New Year with laughter.
Next year, hundreds of thousands of government soldiers will be laid off, and except for some outstanding veterans who have been promoted to non-commissioned officers and retained, the rest of the government soldiers will be restored to their status as civilian households and become ordinary people.
They will be transferred to the reserves, and in the event of war, they may be called up.
Otherwise, they will no longer serve in the military, and at the same time, they will no longer enjoy the privilege of exemption from military service.
Next year, the imperial court will recruit hundreds of thousands of new recruits from among the young people between the ages of 18 and 21 in the world to serve in compulsory military service.
"Wonsuke, Baekje, and Silla have sent a mission to Beijing to present their credentials to me and ask me for their guilt. said that the previous restraint was not effective, causing some people under his rule to cross the border to my Datang Korean Road reclamation and planting.
What do you think about this?"
Datang not only did not mess up, but quickly stabilized, which was expected by Silla Baekje.
They have also heard some rumors now, and some people in the Tang Dynasty said that they would send troops to conquer Silla and Baekje, who were disrespectful, and unify the Korean Peninsula.
The two countries panicked and hurriedly sent envoys to Tang to ask for guilt from the Tang Dynasty.
But what made Zhang Chao disdainful was that the two countries said that they were here to ask for guilt, but in the end they did not mention that the people who crossed the border should be withdrawn.
They seem to want to maintain the status quo and let the Tang Dynasty generously cede the places they occupied across the border to them.
Isn't that a joke When did Datang become so generous Although the territory of Datang is large, there is not an inch that is superfluous.
At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty used an extermination strategy against Goguryeo, and directly sent all the population of the captured area to the Central Plains as slaves.
This move is to completely eradicate the rebellion of the Goguryeo people who have been established for more than 700 years.
With only land left and no people, it is naturally impossible for Goguryeo to rebel and restore the country.
But because this trick was too ruthless, the follow-up immigrants of the Tang Dynasty couldn't keep up, and the imperial court was reluctant to divide the Korean Peninsula to the heroes.
As a result, the current situation is that the population of the Tang Dynasty and North Korea Province is extremely small, and there are large areas of vacant places.
This made it difficult for Silla and Baekje, who had always coveted it, to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the Korean Province, from the sneakiness at the beginning to the large-scale immigration occupation later.
"They just owe a beating, and Goguryeo has a virtue.
Island country thinking, Yelang arrogant.
Seeing that my Datang did not have many troops on the Korean Peninsula, he thought that he had a advantage to take advantage of, and only by beating them up hard would they be honest.

The important minister said, simply destroy them, and the Korean Peninsula will naturally have long-term peace and stability in the future.
Otherwise, they will cross the line today and come to rob tomorrow, although it is a disease of scabies, but it is also annoying. ” Cheng Qian didn't immediately agree to Zhang Chao's plan.
"There is still a war going on on Xindu's side, and Funan is almost occupied by Zhenla, and the imperial court has planned to exterminate Tibet.
In addition, Xue Yantuo of Mobei still stayed in Monan and refused to retreat, and Xi and Khitan seemed to have the intention of alliing with them.
I'm worried about these steppe hus. ” Compared with the Silla and Baekje people in the south of the Korean Peninsula on the other side of the sea, Chengqian was more worried about the Tiele people, the Khitans, the Xi people, the Xi people, and the Xia people.
"It is said that at the banquet of the alliance with the Khitan, Xi and other Khans, Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Khan Yinan openly said the slogan of asking the cavalry to go south and let me return to the emperor."
Of course Zhang Chao knew about this, Yi Nan's original words were to return my heavenly khan.
He said this at the banquet of the Monan Alliance with the Khitan and other Hu people, and he must have had a purpose.
The purpose is very simple, it can be regarded as a kind of temptation of the new dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.
Xue Yantuo has unified Mobei in recent years, recuperated for many years, and his strength has gradually strengthened.
Now it is a little inflated, and I want to get involved in Mo Nan like the Turks did back then.
After going south this time, I didn't want to go back.
It's just that I want to fish in troubled waters.
"Yuanfu, I want Mobei to change to a khan" Cheng Gandao. t1706231537:
