Wen Dan Zhu

The Chu family of Great Xia ended the era of chaos. Emperor Gao established noble titles, rewarding his meritorious subjects. He enfeoffed five of his sons as kings, granting them hereditary titles and privileges: the right to appoint their own officials, collect taxes, and govern their territories. The Kings of Qi, Wu, Zhou, Yan, and Lu were spread across the southeast, northwest, and northeast. The remnants of unrest were swiftly suppressed, the Great Xia Dynasty became unshakably strong, and peace was finally restored to the land. Ten years later, Emperor Gao passed away. The crown prince ascended the throne as the new emperor. However, he soon discovered that the five kings had amassed tremendous power — controlling more than half of the empire’s provinces and counties, leaving him with direct authority over only twenty regions. At this rate, there wouldn’t even be enough land left for him to enfeoff his own sons.
