Night.
Ambergris rose in the room, and Li Shimin was very happy to look at the letter.
He walked out of the house with the letter in hand and came to the hall on one side.
"I'm a grandfather" "I have grandchildren."
In the hall, a group of Zaifu were discussing things, and when they saw the emperor rushing in so excitedly, they all looked up in surprise.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty" Li Shimin laughed, "I'm only thirty-six years old this year, and I've actually become a grandfather, hahaha."
Cheng Qian, this kid, is still quite powerful.
I was born at the age of nineteen, but this kid became a father at the age of seventeen."
The emperor has an eldest grandson, which is a major event in the heavenly family, and it is also a major event in the imperial court.
Especially when this eldest grandson was born by the crown prince, everyone was even happier.
The imperial court here finally destroyed Goguryeo, and the royal family over there gave birth to the eldest grandson.
"Good omen, Your Majesty" The eldest grandson Wuji said to his brother-in-law with a smile.
"Well, it is indeed a good omen, which is a sign of the revival of my Tang Dynasty.
Cheng Qian has already given my grandson the nickname Anu, and I have to give this child a big name. ” Li Shimin excitedly grabbed the letter and walked around.
The Zaifu couldn't discuss the matter anymore, so they all surrounded the emperor and congratulated him.
"Heavenly grandson, let's call it Li Xiang."
After a long time, Li Shimin thought of the name of his eldest grandson.
Li Xiang Everyone didn't quite understand what this elephant word meant.
"Yes, Li Xiang, I decreed that Xiang'er would be crowned the king of North Korea."
Li Shimin is now immersed in this excitement.
Since the early morning of the day of Xuanwu Gate, he left the Qin Palace, wearing armor and sword, and his family affection has become farther and farther away from him.
In the Hanjing Rebellion, he stabbed his own brother and the younger brother of his mother's compatriots in front of the two armies.
After the chaos, he gave his young half-brothers and nephews to death in one go.
The most ruthless imperial family.
The heavenly family is also lonely, because they are also the most ruthless.
In recent years, the relationship between Li Shimin and the prince has become more and more estranged and weaker.
Now that the birth of the eldest grandson has made this emperor feel a lot of feelings and changes in his heart.
Between him and the crown prince, it seems that there are not so many things at once.
The Li Tang Dynasty has a fourth generation.
The Emperor spoke excitedly and then left.
Fang Xuanling returned to his seat, "Everyone, let's talk about this tricky matter."
How to replace this seal so as not to cause dissatisfaction. ” "No matter how you change it, the vassals will definitely be dissatisfied."
Ma Zhou said.
In fact, the people here are also the vassals of Liaodong, most of them have sons and nephews who bought the fiefdom of Liaodong, spent money, and after eight or nine years, they can finally see that they are going to be cashed out, but now they have to be changed.
Change to a place further north and east, so far away, who wants to But the emperor's words must be changed, so the Zaifu can only bury their heads in research here.
"Don't say anything about complaining, when the imperial court engaged in feudalization, the original intention was to divide the land of the frontier to the heroes, in order to reward them for their merits, and at the same time let them screen the feudal domain for the imperial court.
Now that Liaodong and Korea are owned by the imperial court, they will be directly governed by the imperial court in the future, and it is naturally not in line with the original intention to divide Liaodong into feudal areas.
Eldest Sun Wuji knocked on the table and said.
The emperor's division of the world seal is different from the original world seal, the emperor engaged in the world seal, and the eldest grandson Wuji and others resolutely opposed it, because the emperor divided the clan and the heroes in the Central Plains in various important places, which is not equivalent to letting others choke the key throat of the court Later, the emperor changed the feudal system to be sealed in the border state, but the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling still opposed it, because the history of the world seal assassination, but it is necessary to manage the people's affairs, and it is still passed down from generation to generation, and it will definitely be chaotic in the future.
In the end, it was changed back and forth, and finally there was today's system of feudal lords.
It is divided into the extreme border places where the Tang Dynasty whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and at the same time the situation in Han and Tibet is complicated, such as overseas Liuqiu, Yin Mountain in the north, Saiwai in the north of Yanshan, and those places in the north of the Western Regions.
The imperial court did not have so much energy and strength to control such a distant place, but if the past system of fetters was adopted, it would not be worth it.
The formulation of fetters is unreliable, and Hu Yi rebellion is infrequent.
And if the heroes were divided and let them control these places, it would not only give the nobles room for development, but also allow the imperial court to maintain control over the frontier.
The sub-sealing system has been around for 10 years now.

There has not been any chaos, on the contrary, there are these meritorious lords on the side, they recruit people to reclaim wasteland, build cities and roads, train militia, etc., making the border of the Tang Dynasty very safe.
At least, no one has broken through the lord's fiefdom on the frontier and hit the prefectures and counties directly under the imperial court.
There are lords who take the lead in developing the frontier and manage it with heart, and the imperial court can even recover a lot of taxes every year.
For example, the territories of Liaonan and Liuqiu run by the Li family bring a large amount of tax revenue to the imperial court every year.
"We have also discussed for a long time, and each of us has expressed our own opinions, I have synthesized it, and now I have a preliminary idea, let me tell you first."
Fang Xuanling has always been a person who does practical things, no matter how much he complains, things have to be done anyway, so there is nothing to say.
"Let's replace the fiefdom in Liaodong and replace it to the north.
The western route is bounded by Buyeo in the upper reaches of the Liao River, and the eastern line is bounded by the domestic city in the upper reaches of the Yalu River. ” "To the south of the two cities, there are Liaodong Province and Korea Province, which are directly subordinate to the imperial court.
To the north of the two cities, to Sumoshui, these places were used as fiefdoms for the princes of Liaodong. ” On the map, Fang Xuanling drew the line with a pen.
If you only look at the map, the replaced fiefdom is actually larger than the original.
And the original fiefdom was mostly in the mountains of Liaodong, but now the place of replacement is the Songnen Plain.
Of course, people don't think so now, and even Fang Xuanling, the prime minister who proposed the plan, doesn't think so.
The farther north Liaodong goes, the more remote and cold it becomes, and such a cold place is not suitable for habitation at all.
The traffic is ignored, life is difficult, the Central Plains people are not adaptable, and there are only those Murowei people and Yan people who are alive, and some barbarians.
"Is that acceptable?"
asked the question again.
Although there are many mountains in Liaodong, at least it is not far from Liaoxi, especially now that there are ports in southern Liaoning, and shipping is developed, and it is very close from southern Liaoning to Dengzhou.
In particular, there is the Liao River and can also be transported by river, and the river transport is combined with shipping, which is relatively good.
But the north of Buyeo is different, and it can really freeze people to death in winter.
"Isn't there cotton now, wear cotton jackets and cotton shoes in winter, cats don't go out in winter, it's good to spend winter.
The place north of Buyeo is actually good, the land is flat, all black soil, very fertile, the water is also abundant, and it is good to grow grain or graze. ” "Fang Xiang, the winter in that place is very long, it snows in September, and in March of the next year, the snow has not yet melted, and it is winter for half a year."
Fang Xuanling was helpless, "Anyway, it's better to have a fief than nothing."
When everyone bought this Liaodong fiefdom, in fact, most of them came for that title, and a few of them really thought that they could get this fief in the future, but now they are just changing their positions, isn't it still in Liaodong. ” Ma Zhou coughed.
"Fang Xiang, what should I do in southern Liaoning, how to change it, how to change it" Ma Zhou asked a pointed question.
This is also the most difficult problem to deal with in the replacement of fiefdoms.
It's okay to say that other people's fiefs are just like what Fang Xuanling said, when everyone bought the fief, they went more for the real title, and not many people thought about it when they really got the fief.
If you want to replace it now, you may not be happy, but you can still do the work.
But Liaonan is different.
The Li family had fought it down by themselves and operated it for another six years, and now this land has become a prosperous and wealthy treasure land, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and I don't know how much tax revenue a year is.
It not only created taxes for the imperial court, but also provided a large amount of income for the Li family.
Moreover, this is still a continuous cornucopia, a cash cow, and it will only become more and more prosperous in the future.
"Southern Liaoning is Wenyuan's fiefdom, Wenyuan is still more knowledgeable about the overall situation, and we will personally go to persuade Wenyuan when the time comes.
The court could also give him some other compensation.
In short, Liaonan must be replaced, and if Liaonan is not replaced, this fiefdom will not be replaced.
Fang Xuanling said.
With Datang's developed navigation technology, although Liaodong and North Korea are far away, they are only far by land.
If it is connected by sea, it is not far at all, on the contrary, it is very close.
It only takes three days to fly directly from Dengju to Pyongyang.
It only takes half a day to fly directly from Dengzhou to Lushun in southern Liaoning.
To the mouth of the Liaohe River, it is only a little more than a day.
Although shipping will also be limited by the weather, storms, seasons and other influences, in general, today's Datang is far more controllable than the Western Regions for these two newly acquired lands.
Through the Hexi Corridor to the Western Regions, the road is far and difficult, and it takes a long time to go back and forth.
The transportation of various materials is even more inconvenient, but the sea transportation is much more convenient and fast.
No matter what, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to give up Liaodong and Korea.

"The Emperor's Letter" Li Chao opened his eyes and opened it.
After seeing it, he was silent for a long time, and then chuckled, "The emperor really likes empty gloves and white wolves, forget it, let him be happy this time." ” The emperor sent a letter to Li Chao about Liaodong, anyway, he talked for a long time, hoping that Li Chao could take the initiative to return the Liaonan fief to the imperial court, and the imperial court would give Li Chao a new fief twice the size of the Liaonan fief to him in the north of Buyeo, in addition, Li Shimin also planned to give Li Chao Danluo Island in the southwest sea of Baekje.
Danna is also known as Tamna, which is the Jeju Island in later generations.
Dan Luo Island is now an island nation with a king and five tribes.
It's just that it's still relatively backward, living in leather tents in the summer and pits in the winter.
They ploughed the fields without knowing how to use oxen, but they had iron teeth to harrow the soil.
It is said that there are 8,000 households, and there are also weapons such as bows and knives, but there is no writing, and the clothes belong to Baekje.
In the first two years, he also paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.
Now Li Shimin is very shameless to give this big island to Li Chao as a fief, and as for the original island people on the island, of course, they have become Li Chao's fiefdom.
Danluo Island is located in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula and is also close to the western tip of Japan.
For Li Chao, who has a huge maritime trade industry, Danluo Island is still very valuable.
Of course, it is far from being compared with Liaonan.
However, Liaonan is not completely mastered by Li Chao, so if he changes his fiefdom, in fact, Li Chao only lost one-third of his tax revenue in Liaonan.
For others, that's a lot of money every year, but for Li Chao, money is not a problem.
As soon as the emperor sent troops to Liaodong, Li Chao expected the arrival of this day.
Once the imperial court destroyed Goguryeo, even if it only recaptured Liaodong, it would definitely not let Li Chao occupy southern Liaonan all the time, especially after the emperor also set Dengzhou as the eastern capital.
With twice the fiefdom in Fuyu North and a Danluo Island, Li Chao did not lose money in this transaction.
But Li Chao still plans to take this opportunity to talk to Li Shimin again.
Perhaps this opportunity can be taken to ask the emperor to open up more power to the feudal lords.
For example, the maximum number of province guards has been increased. t1706231537:
