bastard seizes tang

Chapter 757
The lands of the Tang Dynasty, in terms of importance, there is no doubt that the first place to be the emperor, the capital of Chang'an, followed by Luoyang, the eastern capital that radiates the Central Plains, and the third is Taiyuan, the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty. After that, you can count Li Kezeng to the present Yangzhou, an important place for salt and grain, is stationed abroad, followed by Chengdu, Jiangling, Wancheng and other places.

The weight of Luoyang is only below Chang'an, although it is not extremely respectable, it is exactly what Xiao Yuexian meant.

Because Li Ke used this to give Li Kun the title, Chang'an is the capital of the country, even if Li Kun chooses Chang'an, it is absolutely impossible, and the king of Taiyuan already has Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and it is impossible for Li Ke to take the title of Li Zhi, so Luoyang or Yangzhou It is Li Kun's best choice.

Luoyang is the eastern capital. When Li Shimin pacified the Central Plains, his Tiance Admiral's Mansion was once stationed in Luoyang. Yangzhou was where Li Keli's former fiefdom was located. They also have unique meanings. Both of them are excellent.

Just as Xiao Yuexian guessed, Li Ke asked Li Kun about this to seal Li Kun. Since Li Ke asked Li Kun and Li Kun returned, then Li Ke would not give Li Kun another place, but appeared to be himself. The air is not enough.

Li Ke hugged Li Kun and said with a smile: "Okay, since Kun'er likes Luoyang, the royal title given to you by my father will also be in Luoyang."

In fact, when Li Ke was still the prince, he was puzzled by many of Li Yuan and Li Shimin's actions.

Li Yuan has already made Li Jian the crown prince, so why did he set an unprecedented precedent by adding Li Shimin as Tiance Admiral, and even the title of Qin King, and concurrently Yongzhou Mu, Shang Shuling, Shandong Daoxingtai, etc. Pick one at random Even the capital of Chang'an was under the rule of Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin's power and desire for power expanded rapidly, causing the Xuanwumen Change.

The same is true for Li Shimin. He is the emperor who seized the throne. He clearly appointed Li Chengqian as the prince early, but he still sealed Li Tai to Luoyang, the eastern capital, Li Kefeng to Yangzhou, where money and food are important, and Li Zhifeng to Longzhou Taiyuan, the land of prosperity, later indeed led to a change of ownership of the storage position. Isn't this chaos for nothing?These practices once made Li Ke very puzzled.

But now it was Li Ke's turn. At this moment, Li Ke understood the psychology and difficulties of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, because Li Ke himself was also in this situation, and he did not do better. Li Kun was still sealed in Luoyang.

The crown prince is the heir apparent, but Li Ke owes a lot to Li Kun, both of whom are his beloved sons. How could Li Ke have the heart to favor one over the other, making Li Fan the crown prince and ignoring Li Kun and the others?
So now Li Ke knew it was inappropriate, but he still made the same mistake and walked the same path as Li Shimin and Li Yuan.

As Li Ke said, he turned his head and asked Xiao Yuexian, "What does Xian'er think of King Zhou?"

All the princes who set the title usually use the title of the country above the ancient fiefdom as the title of the prince. The capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was in Luoyi, which is now in the boundary of Luoyang. Since Li Kun liked Luoyang, Li Ke gave Li Kun the title of King of Zhou In reason.

When Xiao Yuexian heard the words, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he hurriedly said to Li Kun: "Kun'er, my father is conferring kingship on you, why don't you thank my father for your kindness."

Li Kun is still young, and he doesn't know what King Zhou is, let alone what King Zhou means, but Xiao Yuexian told him carefully by Zeng Jin. If Xiao Yuexian asks Li Kun to thank him, it must be a big deal, so don't be careless.

Li Kun hurriedly jumped off Li Ke's lap, and according to Xiao Yuexian's previous instruction, he knelt down in front of Li Ke in a dignified manner, and said to Li Ke, "Kun'er thanks Father."

Seeing this, Li Ke hugged Li Kun again, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite between father and son, get up, get up."

Li Ke's eyes and ears are clever, especially the intrigues over the years have given Li Ke very keen senses. Although Xiao Yuexian's reaction was only fleeting, Li Ke has already noticed.

Li Ke has always known and believed that Xiao Yuexian will never be a person who can keep her own place. She has ambitions and has always had it. Li Ke has never doubted this, because this is why Li Ke reuses her so much. Things in Xiao Yuexian's body are directly proportional to ability. Xiao Yuexian's ability is great, so his ambition is also great.

Li Ke is not afraid of Xiao Yuexian's ambitions, because all of this is still under his control. No matter what Xiao Yuexian does, Xiao Yuexian will only act in the circle Li Ke drew for her. If one day, Xiao Yuexian really leaves Li Ke In the circle drawn for her, Li Ke will naturally act with restraint, so there is no need for others to say.

After all, Li Ke himself is such a high-ranking person, and this is how he came over step by step.Power is like a big pie, the battle for the reserve position, the court battle, everything is carried out around the division of this pie, Li Ke knows this better than anyone else, the only change is that Li Ke changed from that The one who fights for the loaves becomes the one who divides the loaves.

In the past, Li Ke, as a person fighting for cakes, naturally had many worries. He was worried that if he lost the competition, he would not be able to compete for more than one piece, and he would even lose his life because of it.

Although Li Ke has now become the person who divides the pie, his worries are still there, but his worry is no longer that he will not be able to share the pie, but that someone will divide the pie for him, and someone even wants to take the pie from him.

Needless to say, the person Li Ke worried might take the cake from him is naturally Wu Meiniang. Wu Meiniang has an innate love and pursuit of power and never stops. After becoming a princess, she wanted to be a queen, so now that she has become a queen as she wished, what does she want?

Based on Li Ke's understanding and worries about Wu Meiniang, there are some things that Li Ke has to pay attention to and make arrangements early.

From the harem to the court, Li Ke needs someone who can stand up to Wu Meiniang to check and balance her. His family background, scheming, means and even influence in the court are not weak, and this person is naturally Xiao Yuexian.

Xiao Yuexian is the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling. Her family background is good enough, even better than Wu Meiniang. She has been in charge of the foreign forces for Li Ke for many years, and she has a lot of means and skills. More importantly, Xiao Yuexian's biological father Xiao Xian is the emperor's teacher Cen As the former owner of the text, she was able to get close to Cen Wenben and gained great benefits in the court.

It can be said that Xiao Yuexian is the best candidate to check and balance Wu Meiniang inside and outside the palace. Only with the help of Xiao Yuexian, Li Ke can check and balance the Wu family and Wu Meiniang to the maximum extent without tearing up with Wu Meiniang.

The emperor's mind is the way of balance, and the way of balance emphasizes the method of supporting the weak and restraining the strong. Although Li Ke is unwilling to do some things, he still has to do them. This is the last lesson Li Shimin taught him, and it is also the most important. a lesson.
