Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 321
No matter how hard Lili worked, Li Yuan would not plow the rest of the land.

Originally, offering sacrifices to plowing the land was just a process for the common people in the world to see.

It would be strange if Li Yuan was really willing to do this job.

The remaining piece of land was contracted by those ministers. After Li Yuan said a few more words, he led people into the palace.

As soon as Li Yuan went back, Li Jiancheng, who was already impatient, also went back immediately.

Back in the East Palace, Li Jiancheng's face turned pale with anger.

"Damn it, I'm the prince, I'm the prince."

Regarding today's matter of Li Yuan asking Li Shimin to lead the cow, Li Jiancheng was very worried. Song Gongqing was well informed, and he already knew what happened in the sacrifice.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was so angry, his expression suddenly became serious.

"His Royal Highness, judging from the current situation, King Qin is slowly gaining favor again. If we continue like this, I'm afraid it will be bad. We must do something."

Hearing Song Gongqing's words, Li Jiancheng said, "What do you mean?"

"Some things need to be ruthless."

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, and said after a long time, "We'll talk about it after the feudal lord enters the capital."

When the vassal king came to Beijing, Li Jiancheng felt that they could take advantage of the matter of Qin Tian and the Ninth Princess to provoke the relationship between Luo Yi and Li Shimin. If this plan can be achieved, maybe he doesn't have to resort to cruel methods.

If it doesn't work, we'll talk about it later.

Song Gongqing saw that Li Jiancheng was a little soft-hearted, so he could only nod in response.

Time passed quickly, and in late autumn, feudal lords from all over the world began to enter Beijing one after another.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many kings were granted.

Of course, most of them are kings surnamed Li. These princes are either Li Yuan's brothers, or Li Yuan's sons and nephews. There are about [-] of them.

However, most of the people are still staying in Chang'an, the capital city. Only a few people are outside, helping Li Yuan to guard various places to prevent rebellion and foreign invasion. If someone rebels in the capital, they will also come to King Qin.

Those who can lead troops in other places are all people that Li Yuan trusts very much.

In addition to these kings surnamed Li, Datang also had three kings with different surnames.

Since the Han Dynasty, people with different surnames were not easily crowned kings, but there were occasional exceptions.

Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been several battles before, so there will always be some special circumstances, so there will be kings with different surnames.

The three kings with different surnames are Yan Wang Luo Yi who guards Youzhou, Xiao Wang Xiao De who guards Yumen Pass, and Yunnan King Gu Liang who guards Yunnan.

The reason why these three people were crowned kings with different surnames was that when the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty came, they had their own military strength. If Li Yuan was not crowned king, they would not surrender to the Tang Dynasty. What's more, the geographical location of the three of them is very strange. It is not easy to take it down easily.

For example, Luo Yi, Youzhou where he lives is very close to the Turks. If you attack him, he may immediately fall to the Turks. In that case, it will be very unfavorable to Datang.

The king of Xiao, Xiao De, had his fiefdom on the Silk Road, very close to the countries of the Western Regions. If he attacked him, he would immediately block the Silk Road, and the business road between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions might be cut off.

As for the king of Yunnan, Gu Liang, Yunnan is located in a remote area with many high mountains, and the Tang Dynasty has no military strength. Therefore, as long as they are willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will crown them kings.

Otherwise, with so many good ministers and generals in the Tang Dynasty, how could it be easy for a king with a different surname to exist?
Letting them exist is a last resort.

After the vassal kings from all over the country entered Beijing, Li Yuan went directly to the palace of the Royal Ranch, where he directly waited for the arrival of the vassal kings from all over the country.

When these vassal kings enter the capital, there are requirements for the number of troops they bring, which cannot exceed five hundred, otherwise they may be charged with crimes.

After the vassal king came, he did not enter Chang'an City, but directly set up camp outside the royal ranch, and the vassal king went into the royal ranch to meet and pay tribute to Li Yuan.

After the meeting, these vassal kings can do whatever they want, for example, go to the West Market, meet old friends or something, and wait for all the vassal kings to come to the royal ranch for a banquet. It's almost over.

Of course, although after meeting with Li Yuan, the vassal kings from all over the country can act freely, but generally speaking, these vassal kings only go to the east and west cities for a while, and rarely make friends with officials in the capital.

After all, although they are kings, they are also afraid of being jealous by Li Yuan.

Datang's strength is really not something that kings like them can easily touch.

Datang is indeed afraid of them, but it doesn't mean that they are not afraid of Datang.

The vassal kings from all over the country came one after another, and news came out of Chang'an City almost every day.

For example, the prince arrived today, what kind of tribute did he bring to the sage, what strange gadgets he brought, and the prince will come again tomorrow, etc.

The Ninth Princess stayed at the mansion, and seemed a little restless these days.

"When will King Yan enter Beijing?" Princess Nine looked at A Fei and asked.

"According to the news, King Yan may arrive tomorrow."

Hearing that Luo Yi would arrive tomorrow, Princess Nine became more and more uneasy. Now there are rumors about him and Qin Tian in the capital, if Luo Yi heard about it, how would he feel?
I'm afraid it won't be good.

The ninth princess is not worried about her own safety, no matter how high Luo Yi is, she would not dare to do anything to her as a princess, but the more so, the more dangerous Qin Tian will be.

For the sake of the Luo family's face, Luo Yi must find some place to come back, if he can't find it from the princess, then he can only come from Qin Tian.

It is inevitable to make things difficult for Qin Tian.

The restless Ninth Princess really wanted to see Qin Tian, ​​and asked him to be more cautious in the next few days, but it might not be appropriate to see Qin Tian at this time.

So in the end, Qin Tian could only pray that Qin Tian could survive this calamity safely.

But when Luo Yi was about to enter Beijing, the East Palace was overjoyed.

"Okay, Luo Yi is finally going to the capital. As long as he arrives in the capital, Qin Tian won't be able to let him go. Someone, pass on the news to me. Luo Yi must know."

Li Jiancheng gave the order, and the spies of the East Palace quickly started to act. Not long after, rumors about Qin Tian and the Ninth Princess began to circulate again.

On Qin's side, Tang Rong was furious.

"Who spread these news? Xianggong poached the eyes of Tuyuhun's envoys, and it wasn't for the sake of Princess Nine. It's really disgusting."

Rumors are hurtful and hard to guard against. Tang Rong was angry at the house, but faced with this situation, there was nothing she could do.

In contrast, Qin Tian was very calm and didn't take this seriously at all.

"Sir, I heard that Luo Yi has a very bad temper, he really cares about face, and he also protects the calf. If he hears about the matter between you and the ninth princess, he might not let you go?" Seeing Qin Tian like this, Lu Hua Niang couldn't stand it any longer, she felt that she had to remind her, she wanted Qin Tian to know how powerful Luo Yi was.

"The one who cleans himself will clean himself. I really have nothing to do with Princess Nine. Don't be afraid."
