    "Jian'an Marquis, Jian'an Marquis?" It wasn't until Cong Huo poked Wang Kuang a few times that Wang Kuang came to his senses and said, "Huh?"

    "Sage Xuan, where are you?" Cong Huo straightened his back and looked intently, as if he was talking to the air alone. However, his hand took back the wat stick that Wang Kuang had just stabbed several times and gathered it in his sleeves.  The Honglu Temple officials around Shang Kuang all looked eager.

    "Wang Li, what are you thinking about? Huh? Tell me." Li Shimin, who was on the stage, leaned forward and looked at Wang Kuang with interest.

    "Back to Your Majesty, I am wondering where Xu Jiancheng and his fleet should be. It has been more than half a year, and I don't know if it has been smooth sailing." Wang Kuang must not be able to say what he is thinking.  Yes, but there are too many excuses, so I can just pull them out.

    "If they go out, they can only rely on fate. In the vast ocean, they can only rely on themselves. This trip to Yuanzhou can be regarded as a lesson in the power of the ocean. No wonder Wang Li had to build a big ship back then.  Moreover, it is necessary to modify the building ship because the ocean is so dangerous. If you use a small building ship to go there, it is difficult to say, but now that there are large building ships, you don¡¯t have to worry about that. It is as stable as land.  If they are careful, how can there be any risk?" Li Shimin was noncommittal.

    Wang Kuang sighed in his heart. Among the three most dangerous places in this vast ocean, one is the intersection of the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, the other is the intersection of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and the third is the core of the Earth. Among them, especially the intersection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.  The meeting point is the most dangerous. Even on days when there is no wind, the waves are at least one foot high. If there is no wind, it would be useless for the big ship to pass there. Wang Kuang¡¯s worst problem is that they chose the wrong time.  , when there was a strong wind, the waves were several feet high, although the building and the boat would not capsize.  But few people can bear the bumps on it.

    Everyone can be dizzy on the boat. Only the helmsman and the trapped person cannot be dizzy. It is a bad thing when you are stunned. This is the most king.  But now.  But this is not the time to dampen everyone's enthusiasm. Everyone is full of interest. How disappointing is it to throw a ladle of cold water on your own?  Besides, the boatmen on the building's ship are all selected from the Jianzhou navy. After training in the navy for so many years, they should not be stupid enough to move forward in the strong wind.

    "When I was in Dongzhi, I told you that I wanted to make you the Duke of the country. You refused, and you were only willing to accept the title of Duke. Now, you don't want to say no again, do you?" Li Shimin smiled and held his chin in one hand.  , with one hand on his knees.

    "Accepting the Duke? This is really hard to refuse." Wang Kuang muttered with a wry smile.  Now is the time to reward based on merit. If he, the one who made the first contribution, is not rewarded, a large number of people will be affected. If the meritorious one is not rewarded heavily, what about the others?  With him at the front, who can rise higher than him?  It seems that this prince has to accept it or not.  No, maybe those who want to achieve something with him will be disappointed.

    I am not greedy for power, but I cannot ask others to be like me. There are hundreds of kinds of people, and there are hundreds of kinds of people they pursue. Some want money, and some want beautiful wives.  Some want to be comfortable, some want to be high-ranking officials, some want to enjoy their own happiness, and there are also some who care about good officials in the world. It can be said that they followed Wang Kuang.  Basically, they can all be considered good officials. If good officials don¡¯t come up, should we leave their positions to bad officials?  This really cannot be done.

    "Li can't refuse."

    "Okay, I'm just waiting for your words. Just now, the auxiliary machine and others suggested that you have made great contributions. If you don't make the king, your contribution to Wang Li cannot be reflected. In the past, Wang Erlang always said that if you give too many rewards at once,  , there will be no reward in the future, hum! Tell me, am I such a person? I will never do anything like a rabbit to death and a dog to cook. Now in front of all the dear friends in the court, I  Once again, if I really do this, both humans and gods will abandon me!"

    "I dare not, I am ashamed." This was the first time that Wang Kuang saw Li Shimin really angry at him. In the past, when Li Shi said he was angry, he was just pretending, but now, he was really angry.  The emperor's anger was outrageous. It is said that the emperor's heart is difficult to understand and is more capricious than a woman's heart. This is his critical moment. Don't let more than ten years of hard work go to waste. You must know that the person on the throne is a brother-in-law.  He is a ruthless person who can attack him. Maybe he is very tolerant when you are not threatening him, but if you really threaten him, it is hard to say.

    It is undeniable that Li Shimin has always been very generous to his ministers. Now that he has said this, he wants to reward the world. If he still refuses to be granted the title, it will inevitably affect Li Shimin's generous image. This is not good, isn't it?  A king?  No matter what, just treat him like this king, no matter what, when the time comes, his ears will be blocked, his eyes will close, and he will not care about anything, just enjoy his own happiness.

    "That's right. I will never forget people who have made meritorious deeds. WangYou started with food. Almost everything you have done in these years is related to the food and daily life of the people. If you are worthy of the title of virtuous person, I will make you a food virtuous king. You will be hereditary and will never be demoted.  Shangzhu Kingdom, Te Jin, still Yi Tongfu Secretary, or in charge of Honglu Temple, how about it?  Anyway, you don¡¯t fancy those ten thousand households, so I won¡¯t give you a fief. You can live wherever you like. If you really have the ability to build a palace in every state, and live in each state for a few days.  , I won¡¯t stop you either.  "

    Wang Kuang felt relieved when he heard the words "Eating the Good King", and he felt even more comfortable when he heard that he would not be given a fiefdom. Even though he was also a king, Wang Kuang was also a good king, and his title was that of a good king.  It's quite scary. Since ancient times, those who can be crowned with words such as "Xian", "Wu", "De", "Xin", "Fu" and so on, which have strong complimentary connotations, are those from the imperial court and the government.  The emperor gave it high praise and recognition.  But Wang Kuang was a good food king. In other words, the king Li Shimin gave him was a bit of a joke. No one would ever get such a title.

    Rather than being a title, it is better to say that the imperial court recognized Wang Kuang's achievements in food. The role of the title is more important than the significance of the title.  In other words, Wang Kuang is a god of food officially recognized by the court.  There is no fiefdom, which means that if you leave out the Honglu Temple that he manages, then he, the king, really has no real power at all.  Although the other kings did not have any real power, they were either the governor of a state, or they had the right to evaluate the performance of officials in their fiefdoms, and to recommend to the court whether they should be dismissed or promoted, etc.

    He was in charge of Honglu Temple, but did not give him an actual position. In other words, when Wang Kuang is gone, unless special circumstances arise, Wang Kuang's descendants can only be idle princes, similar to honorary presidents in later generations.

    Well, that's good, it suits me very well. I'm really happy this time. Li Shimin still knew that he didn't like to participate in government affairs, so he let himself take charge of Honglu Temple, but it was because it was like the Astronomical Academy.  , Gewuyuan, etc. still need your own efforts, and there are many foreign countries. The role of Honglu Temple is still irreplaceable.  Obviously, in foreign affairs in the past two years, at least in Li Shimin's mind, Wang Kuang is still irreplaceable.

    In fact, the emperor had no choice. Since it was a promise he made personally, he had to fulfill it. When he said that he could confer Wang Kuang with the title of king, Li Shimin certainly did not expect that Wang Kuang could reach such a height in such a short period of time.  , If Wang Kuang was thick-skinned enough, Wang Kuang's contribution would have been enough to be crowned king.

    On the contrary, the honorary title of Shangzhu Kingdom is more real. Although the king is the first rank, and the Shangzhu Kingdom is only the second rank, the rank of Shangzhu Kingdom has existed since the Han Dynasty.  Yes, this title is naturally much more important in the minds of the people than the somewhat joking Wang Jue.

    As for Te Jin, a casual official, he is also a second-rank official. With the addition of Yi Tongfu Si, it is the same as Changsun Wuji¡¯s Kaifu Yitong Sansi. This is also a modification. Kaifu Yitong Sansi is a subordinate  A first-grade casual official, that is, the chief official of the casual officials, manages the scattered officials in the world. Changsun Wuji is already there. How will he manage if there is another chief official?  Who is the master and who is the slave?  Therefore, he was given such a flexible method. He was under the jurisdiction of Changsun Wuji, but in terms of treatment, he was on the same level as Changsun Wuji.

    Wang Kuang is still a trinity of nobility, official, and honorary title. Counting the envoys in charge of Honglu Temple, Wang Kuang can actually be regarded as one of the Xianggongs, and he is not an ordinary Xianggong, but one of the best among Xianggongs.  But this is not fixed. When Wang Kuang no longer cares about Honglu Temple, then this de facto status will disappear, just like a member of the Central Advisory Committee.

    Seeing that Wang Kuang readily accepted his title, the bosses all breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn't want Wang Kuang to accept it. As a result, the next reward would be difficult to handle. The one with the greatest merit  You haven't received any rewards, so don't expect any rewards for those of you who have made minor contributions. It can be said that whether Wang Kuang is awarded or not will affect not one or two people, but hundreds of thousands of people.

    Now that there is a king, the convention that non-royals cannot be crowned kings has been broken. Because Li Shiji suffered very few military losses in the Uighur War and cut off the retreat route of the Goguryeo people, Li Shiji should be ranked third in credit.  Yes, but he sent troops to attack Goguryeo without authorization. Although he had a good excuse, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was just an excuse. The Goguryeo people were in a hurry to deal with the Hebei army in the south. Even the Uighurs were defeated one by one.  The soldiers are all gone, and the Goguryeo people don't dare to invade the Uighurs at this time. The Uighurs can be said to be almost all soldiers. Children can gallop on horses at the age of five or six, and women and old people are also good. If the Uighurs are annoyed,  They were attacked from both sides, and only fools would do such stupid things at this time.  .  ¡ª¡ª
