Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1159 Coaxing Son

Qin Tian did not mention anything about King Huainan in the previous memorial.

He didn't tell Li Shimin about the situation until now when he met Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin listened, his eyebrows frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Huainan King would actually want to take over the Great Tang Dynasty.

"hateful!"

Li Shimin hates this kind of thing. His throne was taken from him, and he worried that other people would also take his world as he did before.

He made a start, but he didn't want others to follow suit.

And at this time, Qin Tian said: "My lord, the reason for the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty is because the vassal kings or officials in various places owned some soldiers and horses. With soldiers and horses, it is inevitable that they will have ambitions." , If you want to completely free the court from such worries, the best way is naturally to cut down the feudal clan."

Such things as cutting feudal vassals have happened many times throughout the history of China, and the new dynasty in the history of China will correct the shortcomings of the previous dynasty.

For example, the Qin State changed the system of prefectures and counties, and without vassal kings, the Han Dynasty began to entrust the kings again, which led to the Eight Kings Rebellion.

In the late Tang Dynasty, each festival envoys supported their own self-respect, which led to chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, followed by decades of chaos in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid this situation, they did not become kings, or even Let's see how many armed forces there are.

However, this situation also led to the weakness of the Song Dynasty's troops. Once the enemy broke through the line of defense, the vast land from the border to the entire capital city would be like entering an uninhabited land, and the Song Dynasty had no troops to stop it.

These dynasties have learned from the experience of the previous dynasty, but they have overcorrected.

The Tang Dynasty did not realize this shortcoming of the Sui Dynasty.

Or realize it, but don't take it too seriously.

The main reason is that although the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty was very chaotic, it only lasted a few years, and it was completely incomparable with the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty, and the impact was enough for anyone to understand.

In this way, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it was still arbitrarily crowned kings.

After Qin Tian said the words, Li Shimin's heart moved slightly.

"Cutting down the vassals?" He had thought about the dangers of the vassal kings, and wanted to get rid of some disobedient vassal kings, but he really hadn't thought about cutting the vassals.

And the so-called reduction of vassals means to get rid of all vassal kings, take away their fiefdoms, and take back their soldiers and horses.

This made Li Shimin a little difficult to accept.

"Nowadays there are many enemies around the Tang Dynasty. If we want to cut down the feudal clan, if the enemy invades the territory of our Tang Kingdom, there will be no one to resist. Some disobedient feudal lords can be removed, but we can't cut down the feudal clan."

Li Shimin's attitude is still very clear, he knows what the Tang Dynasty needs now, at least when the Tang Dynasty is not absolutely safe, it is unwise to cut down the vassal.

Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, he suddenly realized something.

I proposed to cut the vassal because I saw the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty, so I wanted to correct it in advance.

But Li Shimin didn't know. He didn't think that keeping some vassal kings would do any harm to Datang?
As long as the prestige of the Son of Heaven is high enough to deter those vassals, those vassals are the military force of their Tang Dynasty, which can be used to kill the enemy and serve the country at any time.

After understanding this, Qin Tian didn't talk about it again. Li Shimin already knew what he wanted to know. He nodded: "Qin Aiqing has been away from home for a long time, so let's go home and have a look."

Li Shimin issued an order to evict guests, Qin Tian smiled wryly, but he was also about to go home, he can be said to be returning home now, Li Shimin's words were also in line with his wishes, so after Qin Tian bowed his hands and retreated, he hurried home.
-
The Qin family was as usual, but everyone was a little excited.

Because they knew that Qin Tian was back, and their little father-in-law was back.

Early in the morning, Tang Rong was already walking around the yard in cotton-padded clothes, asking Qin Tian when he would come back from time to time, and if there was any shadow of him on the street.

The cold wind was blowing, and she didn't seem to be afraid of the cold at all.

And just when they were all looking forward to it, Qin Tian finally came back.

"Your Highness, Madam...Young Master is back, Young Master is back..."

A servant who had inquired about the news earlier rushed into the mansion, yelling non-stop, but everyone liked his yelling very much.

"Master is back?" Tang Rong and Lu Huaniang walked out excitedly after hearing the news.

"Master!"

When they reached the front yard, they saw Qin Tian.

Compared with before, Qin Tian looks a little darker, presumably he has suffered a lot along the way.

"Sir." Tang Rong threw herself into Qin Tian's arms, Qin Tian hugged Tang Rong and smiled: "Why, it's not in the room yet, so you can't wait?"

Tang Rong was originally in tears because of excitement, but now she heard Qin Tian's teasing words, she couldn't help but blushed, and couldn't help but beat Qin Tian's chest.

"You are bad, you are bad, there are so many people here."

Tang Rong's shy look is very good-looking, and Lu Huaniang is a little jealous, but she is not the kind of person who can act like a baby, at least in front of so many people, he won't.

So, she just stepped forward and said, "Msister, you're exhausted after going out on patrol this time. I've ordered someone to prepare some meals, why don't you eat some first?"

Since Qin Tian entered the palace, he still hasn't had a drop of water, so he is really a little hungry, so when Lu Huaniang talked about the food, he nodded: "Okay, yes, but before eating, I will Go and see Wuyou."

The beauty Qin Tian was thinking about it, and all three beauties were thinking about it, but what he cared about the most was his son Qin Wuyou. He had been away for almost a year, and his son didn't know how old he was.

I remember that when he just left, his eyes hadn't been opened much, and he had no teeth. What's going on now?

After saying this, Qin Tian went directly to the bedroom of the ninth princess.

When they went in, Princess Nine was teasing Qin Wuyou, she also knew that Qin Tian was back, she wanted to go, but it was too cold outside, Qin Wuyou couldn't go out, so he could only wait in the room.

"Are you back?" When seeing Qin Tian, ​​Princess Nine asked, Qin Tian nodded, and then saw Qin Wuyou who was hugged by Princess Nine, Qin Wuyou had grown up a lot in a few months, And it seems to have grown a few canine teeth.

"Oh, my son has grown up so much, let Daddy give him a hug."

Qin Tian realized that he didn't seem to have hugged his son very much, he walked over as he said that, but as soon as his hand touched his son, Qin Wuyou burst into tears.

Qin Tian was taken aback.

"Son, am I your father?"

Qin Wuyou started to cry more and more, Jiu Gongzhu curled her lips: "Wuyou is afraid of life, it must be because you have been away for a long time, but don't worry, it will be fine in a few days."

Qin Tian nodded, thinking that he should get something to coax his son.
