Chapter 273 If you have money, come

"Simple, be called king first."

The corners of Li Chen's mouth rose slightly.

Just kidding, if Li Yinhu is granted a title of king or not, it is destined to be just a idle prince with name but no real power. So what if he gives him a name?

But the fiefdom is related to the core power plan, and Li Chen is absolutely impossible for him to nod.

Li Chen is not stupid.

Once the prince divides his fiefs and has a fief, Li Yinhu can legally own taxes and military powers in his fiefs. What is the difference between this and being a local emperor?

"The clan mansion will be written into the royal family register, and the eighth prince Li Yinhu will be officially appointed as King Zhao, and will choose a date to announce to the world. In addition, the father is unable to handle the government affairs for the time being. The fief is suppressed and then the matter will be discussed. After the father wakes up, he will personally decide."

"Before that, King Zhao temporarily lived in the capital, but had already been granted the title of king, so he could not live in the palace. He moved out of the palace and built the Zhao palace in the capital, and all the rules were followed."

Speaking of this, Li Chen glanced at Zhao Qinglan and said meaningfully: "But now that the treasury is empty, the court really cannot take out the extra money to build the Zhao Prince's Mansion. My mother must think of a way to do this."

Zhao Qinglan was angry when he heard this.

Not only did he not get the fief for Li Yinhu, he also had to spend money to build a royal palace?

A royal palace is not a broken kiln. Even if the land can be allocated directly by the court, it will cost at least 100,000 taels of silver after construction. This has not been counted as display and decoration, and these are all bottomless pits.

Zhao Qinglan said stiffly: "I have lived in the palace for a long time, and some of my own money is definitely not enough to build a royal palace."

"The queen of mother doesn't have to worry, this matter is actually easy to solve."

Li Chen's tone was as relaxed as if he had been waiting for Zhao Qinglan here for a long time.

"I heard that the Prime Minister's son was generous. He built the Tengwang Pavilion for hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflakes just to make a smile from the beautiful woman. Isn't it more beautiful to build a Zhao Palace than a Tengwang Pavilion?"

Li Chen's eyes fell on Zhao Xuanji, who was expressionless and said lightly: "Since Master, how about it?"

Zhao Xuanji's eyebrows shook and said lightly: "People's rumors are mostly wrong. Although Tengwang Pavilion was built in the name of a dog son, most of the money it used was raised by his friends in the capital. The old minister's salary is only a thousand taels a year. If not, how could he afford a Tengwang Pavilion?"

"If you can afford to build a Tengwang Pavilion, you can build another Zhaowang Mansion. The chief minister will do this matter."

Li Chen's attitude became cold.

Seeing that Li Chen clearly asked him to pay the money, Zhao Xuanji felt cold in his heart and said, "Building a royal palace is just a trivial matter, but the old minister has another question, please tell him."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me."

"Although King Zhao cannot have a fief at the moment, according to the ritual law of this dynasty, all county princes can be given 300 personal soldiers and 100 servants. Can the King Zhao receive the same treatment?"

Li Chen sneered: "The system of personal soldiers is just to protect the princes outside and is set up by the princes. Now that King Zhao does not have a fiefdom and lives in the capital, why do you need personal soldiers?"

"Your Highness is such a bad word."

Zhao Xuanji did not give in at all and said, "Since he has been granted the title of King Zhao, he should be given the corresponding treatment, otherwise wouldn't it be a joke? In this way, it is inevitable that some people will say it is a palace thought."

After Zhao Xuanji finished speaking, he bowed his hand.

Everyone in the hall saluted and said, "Please think twice."
