Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 932 Prosperity and Prosperity ([-])

After the emperor's words were finished, to be honest, few people were willing.The reason is very simple, because those places are remote and far away, if you really go to those places, can you still enjoy the prosperous prosperity?
The answer is yes, I am afraid I will have to live in a mountain den for the rest of my life.

At the same time, you can't deny the allure of the offer.Because of the remote and distant relationship, once you get a foothold there, you can decide where you want to go.

The question now is whether to agree, or whether I can give up the prosperous Chang'an and go to the poor and remote place of bitter cold.This job is a bit like the son of a big chaebol from the old American family going to Africa to occupy the mountains and become king. It is painful and tangled.

Seeing the unpredictable expressions on the faces of several sons, Li Zhiyun knew that they were a bit difficult to decide, so he said: "Well, I will give you three days to think about it. Now, you all go down. By the way, the prince will stay .”

"My son retire."

After the other sons left, Li Zhiyun said: "Are you not satisfied with my decision?"

"My son doesn't dare."

"Don't dare, or dare not have?" Li Zhiyun asked meaningfully.

Li Chengzhao sighed: "Before, my child really didn't understand. After all, the matter of Ji Zhou was still before. But after listening to the father and the emperor, my son understood a little bit. The entrusted land is far away from the Central Plains, and the distance between each other is more than a thousand miles away. Such a long distance completely prevented the occurrence of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Rebellions."

Li Zhiyun nodded, and immediately said: "It's good if you think so. I divided them up to defend the empire. Secondly, I also hope that they will spread the prestige of our empire further. If you want to sit firmly on those Fantu, the necessary trade-offs must be made. If the clan king does not sit on one side and replaces it with someone else, it will definitely not be able to defend."

Li Chengzhao nodded and said, "My child understands."

Li Zhiyun patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion: "After two or three hundred years, the empire may no longer exist, but those Tang people who immigrated to distant places will gradually take root and sprout, turning more land into land that speaks Tang language. At that time, generations of Tang people will gradually blossom and bear fruit in Fantu, spreading our civilization to farther places. Prince, life is not long, sometimes, I will ask myself, what will you do? What is left of the empire?

Now, perhaps I have found the answer.Maybe I am not a perfect and good emperor, but I must be a pioneer.Not only to conquer the land, but also to destroy its culture and make them completely part of the Tang people! "

Li Chengzhao pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Father, the Tang Empire will definitely last for thousands of years."

"I hope so." Li Zhiyun raised his eyebrows and said noncommittally.It is unrealistic for the feudal dynasty to pass on forever. There will inevitably be conflicts and necessary wars in the middle and late stages.However, this was no longer his concern.

This time when Li Zhiyun had a secret meeting with the princes, no one dared to tell the truth, and most of them fell into hard thinking, considering whether to agree to the emperor.But when they thought of how poor and unfamiliar those places were, they almost subconsciously wanted to refuse the job.

However, just because he is far away from the Central Plains, doesn't going there mean that he can let himself go as he pleases?

It's really hard to decide.

Not long after, the sons gave Li Zhiyun an affirmative answer.

They are willing to go!
"I am very happy that you are willing to go. Because after thousands of years, future generations will remember your names. It is you who spread the civilization of the empire to a farther place. Don't say that I don't support you, that's good , To do business, you need start-up capital. I won’t give you much money, but I can lend you troops to fight. When you conquer those small foreign countries, the gold and silver treasures you get, no matter how much they are, will be yours. Moreover, if you want to form an army, you can recruit in the Central Plains, provided that there are no more than 2 people. If you can persuade them to voluntarily follow you to immigrate thousands of miles away, I will not stop you."

"Thank you, Father."

Li Zhiyun paused for a moment, then asked again: "So, have you considered where you want to build the country?"

"Sogdian."

"Tocharo."

"Bahana."

After the sons finished speaking, Li Zhiyun's eyebrows trembled. Sure enough, no one wants to go to the icy and snowy north to suffer the cold.

"So, I understand." Li Zhiyun continued: "You can prepare for a few more years before leaving. After all, you also know that it will be extremely difficult to go back after going here."

Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun was also a little sad.

And Li Chengzhao who was beside him also lowered his eyes, completely relieved.As expected, the old father was still partial to him, perhaps this time, it was just compensation to the other brothers.

After chatting with his sons for a while, Li Zhiyun summoned the heroes of the empire in Wude Hall again.

Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, Chu Suiliang, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Li Junxian, etc. are all listed here.

"I have decided to entrust the concubine Zhou to the old affairs, and confer the princes to go to the place to be the king, and establish the country and the society."

As soon as the words fell, Wei Zheng immediately objected.

"Your Majesty, entrusting the kings is a way to bring disaster. I implore Your Majesty to take back the order immediately. If Your Majesty refuses to agree, I would rather be smashed to death on the stone pillar of the Wude Palace!"

As he spoke, he knelt down on the ground with an attitude of swearing not to give up.What a joke, how can you confer the title of prince to go to the local country to build a country? Is this trying to reproduce the chaos of Emperor Han Jing's Seven Kingdoms?
Crazy, never agree.

"I don't agree either!"

"Your Majesty, please take it back."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Everyone clearly opposed it, and even the generals felt that this decision was very absurd.

Li Zhiyun rubbed his face and said speechlessly: "Can you wait for me to finish speaking?"

"No matter what your majesty says, or how you say it, I cannot agree to this matter. Unless, your majesty kills me." Wei Zheng said firmly.

Li Zhiyun said: "Don't worry, Ai Qing, after I finish speaking, you can decide whether to stop me or not."

Wei Zheng didn't speak, but his attitude was obvious, if you didn't tell the reason, then he wouldn't get up.

"The enfeoffment I'm talking about is not in the Central Plains, but in Sogdia, Tocharia, Linyi, Wa Kingdom and other places. Does Aiqing understand?"

Hearing this, the ministers looked very strange.

"Your Majesty, this is not good." Du Ruhui said cautiously, "Sogdia and other places are more than a thousand miles away. How is it different from sending princes to those places?"

"Otherwise?" Li Zhiyun said: "If they were entrusted in the Central Plains, wouldn't it cause trouble for the prince's future? I'm not confused yet."

After a pause, Li Zhiyun looked at Wei Zheng, "Wei Aiqing, are you satisfied with my explanation?"

Wei Zheng shook his face in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Entrusting the princes to Sogdia and other places is actually no different from allotment.This kind of encapsulation sounds good, but it is actually a distribution.How can those places compare with the empire, not to mention the empire, even the Western Regions may not be able to compare.

"If His Majesty really assigns the princes to Sogdia and other places, I have no objection."

As long as it's not in the Central Plains, he doesn't care.

"Get up."

"Yes."

Everyone got up and waited for the emperor to speak.
