Chapter 1473 - 1464: Establishing Vassal States

Chapter 1473: Chapter 1464: Establishing Vassal States

"You’re saying His Majesty has initiated the feudal system, and both civil and military officials have become Lords and Kings?"

Half a day later, Liu Che and the other three finally understood why Jia Xu dared to call himself ’King Jia’ — he had actually been officially granted the title of king.

The four scratched their heads, feeling a bit embarrassed as they looked at Jia Xu, whose face was bruised and swollen.

Look at how badly he’s been beaten.

It must hurt a lot!

"King Jia, why are you lying on the ground? Please sit up!"

Sun Quan hurriedly helped Jia Xu up, with a slightly ingratiating smile on his face: "Misunderstanding! It was all a misunderstanding just now, King Jia has a broad mind, like a prime minister whose belly can accommodate a ship. Surely, you won’t hold a grudge, right!"

"King Jia, have a spirit fruit, it’s sweet!"

"King Jia, would you like to drink some wine? I have a fine brew that’s ten thousand years old!"

Liu Che, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei also came to their senses and approached Jia Xu with warm solicitations, leaving him feeling amused and helpless at how quickly their expressions had changed.

"Ouch!"

But Jia Xu didn’t want to take a beating for nothing, so he rolled his eyes and moaned, covering his face: "It hurts so much! Your Majesty, I want to file a grievance. Liu Che and the others were dissatisfied with you making me King Jia, so they beat me up. You must avenge me..."

With that, he was about to get up to go file the grievance.

This frightened Liu Che and the others, as if these words spread, they’d be skinned if not dead.

"King Jia, you can’t say things like that. When have I ever been dissatisfied with His Majesty?"

Liu Che hurriedly grabbed Jia Xu, panicking.

"My injuries are evidence!"

Jia Xu pointed at his swollen face and said with squinted eyes.

"Uh..."

Liu Che twitched at the corner of his mouth, unable to look directly.

"Pity my glorious visage, desecrated like that. Without hundreds of mine veins, it probably won’t recover!"

Jia Xu said sorrowfully.

"Uh..."

Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan had lines of black on their foreheads.

Soon, the four reacted, eyes widening in disbelief at Jia Xu — are you really asking for hundreds of mine veins for just some superficial wounds?

This is too greedy!

"What are you looking at?"

"You beat someone up, shouldn’t you compensate for medical expenses?"

Jia Xu also widened his eyes, angrily asking.

"It’s not like we used so much strength..."

Cao Cao explained.

"Ouch! Your Majesty, your minister was beaten up..."

Jia Xu immediately screamed pitifully.

Looking at the helpless Jia Xu, Liu Che and the others became numb; is this really the high and cold Hidden Guard leader? He seems more like a jester.

"Alright!"

"Just a hundred mine veins, stop shouting!"

Liu Che said with a bitter face, feeling the pain.

Actually, he was certain Jia Xu wouldn’t file a grievance because it was just a misunderstanding, even if taken to the court, he wouldn’t be punished.

But unfortunately, Jia Xu held the leverage!

He had to accept it!

Jia Xu’s eyes lit up, stopped struggling, and directly extended his right hand.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Che was somewhat exasperated.

"Pay up!"

Jia Xu said matter-of-factly.

Liu Che took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to beat Jia Xu up, and took a hundred mine veins from his personal space, creating a towering mountain.

"Thank you!"

Jia Xu tapped his toes, eagerly collecting the mine veins with a flower-like smile on his face, though a bit frightening.

In no time, Jia Xu collected all the mine veins, clapped his hands, and left Weiming Realm joyfully.

"My mine veins!"

On the ground, Liu Che looked at the empty personal space and felt like crying yet had no tears.

A moment ago, he was a billionaire, until he met Jia Xu, turning into a pauper.

"Sorry, I forgot something!"

At that moment, Jia Xu returned, embarrassed, taking out an imperial edict from his personal space, and loudly proclaimed: "Liu Che, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, receive the edict!"

"At your service!"

The four solemnly responded, bowing respectfully.

"Imperial decree!"

"Qin Dynasty’s minister Liu Che, establish the Han Country, as a first-class feudal state. May choose a hundred lower-level universes as domain!"

"Qin Dynasty’s minister Liu Bei, establish the Shu Kingdom, as a first-class feudal state. May choose a hundred lower-level universes..."

"Qin Dynasty’s minister Cao Cao, establish the Wei Country, as a first-class feudal state..."

"Qin Dynasty’s minister Sun Quan, establish the Wu State..."

Four imperial decrees were issued.

When Jia Xu closed the imperial edict, four Fortune dragons descended from the starry sky, merging into the bodies of Liu Che and the others.

They knelt silently on the ground for a long time.

Become kings?

Over the years, they had always had a knot in their hearts about their identity.

They were summoned by the system, possessing memories of a previous life, during which they were kings reigning over their countries with great achievements.

So, after arriving in this world, they were worried about their identities being too sensitive while interacting with Qin Wudao.

This was the reason for their ’idleness’.

Not truly ’idle’!

But rather to keep themselves idle!

But did they really desire idleness in their hearts?

No!

Neither Liu Che nor the rulers of the Three Kingdoms lacked soaring ambitions, forever dreaming of showcasing their talents, creating mighty achievements, reaching the pinnacle of the path, and embracing the galaxy.

Unfortunately, they had to conceal this ambition.

But now things had changed.

The Emperor has granted titles to establish feudal states.

What does this mean?

The Emperor did not doubt their identities.

Thus, they could freely pursue their dreams.

"Lords, the ground is cold; please stand up!"

Jia Xu approached Liu Che and the others, smiling and saying: "The Emperor has commanded you to get moving at once, don’t just think about idling!"

"By order!"

The four of them shouted loudly.

Next, the four stood, seeing Jia Xu’s face regain its normalcy. An inexplicable anger flared, and they began to roll up their sleeves.

This nasty piece of work, instead of properly announcing the imperial edict, went about conning and cheating.

"Ahem!"

"I’ve completed my task, farewell!"

Seeing their unfriendly glances, Jia Xu shrunk his neck and dashed away.

"Consider yourself lucky you ran fast!"

Liu Che coldly snorted, then opened the imperial edict, and upon seeing the immediate contents, a smile appeared on his face.

"The Emperor granting the titles is likely for expansion; shall we choose our territories at the borders?"

After a while, Liu Che folded the imperial edict with a smile and said.

"Agreed!"

Liu Bei and the other three nodded, without objection.

They were already impatient, as soon as the feudal states were established, they’d immediately conquer and seize significant universes to report to the Emperor.

In the ensuing years,

The realm of Qin Dynasty became busy.

A year later, twenty-six first-class Lords and Kings established their states, all choosing border locations.

Three years later, forty-seven second-class Lords and Kings established their states.

Ten years later, all Lords and Kings granted titles by Qin Wudao established their states.

"Finally done!"

Within the imperial palace, Qin Wudao stretched lazily, looking at the map of the Qin realm before him, eyes flashing cold as he softly spoke: "Time for expansion!"

Then, he held the imperial pen and wrote down an imperial edict.
