Chapter 936 - 436: Shocking Mandate of Heaven! Fate of FuE!
King Quo Bian’s royal decree has always been very straightforward and concise, and this time was no different.
The first decree ennobled Suo Lun as the Duke of Tianshui City, incorporating Baiyun County, Ironwood City, and Qichi City into the Tianshui City Territory.
Upon the issuance of this decree, everyone was stunned and their expressions changed.
After Suo Lun became the Regent Prince, he absolutely should not have allowed his territory to increase by even the smallest measure to avoid suspicion.
Unexpectedly, King Quo Bian made a grand gesture, bestowing Baiyun County, Ironwood City, and Qichi City to the Suo Family.
This meant that the Suo Family’s territory had more than doubled overnight, from over forty thousand square kilometers to about one hundred thousand square kilometers, and the population from five hundred thousand to approximately one million three hundred thousand.
This was not a one-time expansion, but permanent.
Both the dukedom of Tianshui City and the one hundred thousand square kilometers of territory would be inherited by the Suo Family generation after generation.
That is to say, the unborn son of Suo Lun and Yan Nai’er was destined to inherit such a vast territory.
For the past hundred years, the main principle of the Rage Wave Kingdom was to reduce the power of the dukes and cut down the power of the lords. Hence, the territory of any lord had almost never increased – the doubling of the Suo Family’s Tianshui City Territory was absolutely unprecedented.
The second decree ordained that Suo Lun and Zhi Yan, and Yan Nai’er, were to marry seven days later, with the wedding to be held in Tianshui City.
