But, the fief of King Yi Mansion is actually located in Shui State?
"There indeed exists such a decree, but King Yi Mansion is an exception. It's said that when the old King Yi helped Your Majesty ascend to the throne, Your Majesty then allowed King Yi to return to Shui State to retire, and thus the fief also ended up there," Su Qi relayed the information he had gathered.
Su Xinyi felt that things could not be so simple. If such matter could be easily changed, then wouldn't the decree become a joke?
However, this was clearly a matter of the imperial family, and Su Qi was not able to find out the specifics.
If the fief was located with the royal estate, it could result in this: the royal estate reducing taxes could easily win people's hearts, and once King Yi's words held more weight than imperial power in Shui State, that would not be a scenario Your Majesty would wish to see.
So, what was King Yi trying to do?
