Man Tanghong

Some people who are rich and have titles but don't have many fiefdoms will even regard this as an alternative way to obtain fiefdoms and invest money like crazy in it.

Li Shimin didn't know whether others were tempted or not, but he knew that he was tempted.

He almost, almost blurted out that he wanted to buy [-] to [-] horses and distribute them to his two sons, and asked Li Yuanji to distribute Yinshan and Dingxiang to his two sons.

Because the two grasslands in Yinshan and Dingxiang are the two best grasslands in Xieli's sphere of influence.

"Why, the second brother thinks something is wrong?"

Li Yuanji saw Li Shimin stand up abruptly, stood there staring at him without speaking, and asked with a smile.

Li Shimin swallowed his saliva in a slight way, and said with difficulty: "You are giving them a fiefdom..."

And the fiefdom cannot be given indiscriminately.

There are fixed numbers for what titles and fiefdoms, and what the upper limit is.

If there are more fiefdoms with lower titles than higher titles, then those with higher titles should have a problem.

Li Yuanji laughed happily: "It's just a grassland on the grassland, not a fief. If they insist on treating it as a fief, that's their business. I won't admit it anyway."

In this kind of matter, it is more or less necessary to give some face to those high-ranking nobles who are unwilling to pay, or have no money to pay.

Otherwise, it won't end well if people make a fuss.

Therefore, the imperial court could not admit that the pastures on the grasslands were fiefdoms.

In order to distinguish them, so that the high-ranking nobles can hold their respect, an example has to be set up.

"I will set up the real fiefdom in Mobei. The fiefdom is one thousand miles away. There is no upper limit for the fiefdom. The cattle and sheep are [-] each, and the horses are [-]."

Li Yuanji continued with a smile.

Sealing the soil for a thousand miles sounds quite exaggerated.

But if this fief is in Turkic, especially Mobei in Turkic, it would not be so exaggerated.

After all, half of Mobei is grassland and half is desert. Within a thousand miles, there may not be [-] households, and it is thousands of miles away from the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

There are opportunities for development. If you go north, you can even open up an empire that is not inferior to Datang, but if you go south, when Datang is strong, there is no room for development at all.

It can't be a threat either.

Wait until the day when it can become a threat, that is the time when Datang withers.

At that time, whether in Mobei or in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, the leaders were all surnamed Li, and everyone was still the same ancestor, so it didn't matter so much who could overwhelm the other.

If the descendants of the Li family in Mobei can recreate the universe like Liu Xiu, they might be able to extend the lifespan of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years.

So sealing the soil for a thousand miles may sound scary, but it's really nothing.

Hearing this, Li Shimin subconsciously moved his lips.

He clearly remembered that Li Yuanji once said that he would entrust his eldest son Li Chengqian to Turkic.

Now that Li Yuanji said that he would set up a seal in Mobei for a thousand miles, it was already obvious who he would seal.

Li Yuanji was able to give a thousand miles of land to his eldest son in one breath, as an uncle, Li Yuanji was quite enough.

But he always felt uncomfortable, always a little bit unwilling.

There is no other reason, once his eldest son is sealed in Mobei, then his lineage will be completely out of touch with the throne.

According to the current situation, he should have given up.

After all, although Li Yuanji didn't sit in that big position, Li Yuanji's foundation in Datang was already as stable as Mount Tai, and his power was far stronger than that of him and his elder brother combined at their peak.

He and his elder brother don't have much power now, and their old department has gradually lost the will to help them make a comeback, and they have no chance of making a comeback.

But when it came time to leave the center of power, he was still unwilling and unhappy.

"How about changing to Dingxiang?"

Li Shimin's lips twitched for a long time, and finally said this sentence that shouldn't be said.

Hearing this, Li Yuanji said with a half-smile: "Then why not just change to Chang'an City!"

Li Shimin fell silent for an instant.

He could neither answer nor dared to answer, because if he uttered a wrong word, the lives of his son and even his whole family would be lost.

He knew that Li Yuanji valued love and righteousness, so he would not attack him and his sons easily.

But this does not mean that Li Yuanji's love has no bottom line, and he can be allowed to squander it.

So when it was time to bow his head, he didn't dare to be vague at all.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Yuanji said: "It seems that the second brother has already guessed who I will seal in Mobei..."

Li Shimin pouted.

Guess what?

Didn't you say it in advance?

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Yes, I will seal Chengqian in Mobei, and you can prepare for Chengqian now. When we completely conquer the Turks, Chengqian should rush to Mobei to manage his own seal." country.

After the war, the Turkic people were waiting for prosperity. If Chengqian wanted to live comfortably in Mobei, he had to make sufficient preparations. "

There is no need to say more about what preparations are needed and how far they need to be prepared.

Li Chengqian has a father who is qualified to be the emperor of the ages, and a mother who is qualified to be the empress of the ages. The husband and wife will help Li Chengqian prepare everything, and there is no need for others to worry about it.

When it comes to the eldest grandson being a wise queen through the ages, Li Yuanji always feels watery.

Judging from the performance of Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi as adults, the eldest grandson's education is really average.

Otherwise, Li Chengqian would not be taught as a person who wants to be a Turkic general, Li Tai as a person who misses his brother's things, and Li Zhi as a person who misses his concubine.

So the wiseness of the eldest grandson may have been pointed to other places, not to parenting.

On the contrary, Li Yuan and Li Shimin had a greater influence on the eldest grandsons.

Except for Li Chengqian who has other hobbies, Li Tai and Li Zhi's hobbies are a bit like Father Xiao or Xiao Zu.

It is impossible for Li Shimin now to know what his three sons were like in history, and he didn't even know that he would have three legitimate sons.

So after confirming that the eldest son Li Chengqian would be enshrined in Mobei, he naturally worried about his son's life in the future. He hesitated and said: "Can you..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Yuanji said decisively: "No!"

What Li Shimin wanted to say, he had already guessed.

Li Shimin wanted to ask Changsun Wuji to go there, and let Changsun Wuji, the uncle who brought the Changsun family, to help Li Chengqian.

Li Yuanji didn't care what the Changsun family would choose in this matter.

But Changsun Wuji must be separated from Li Shimin, and even Li Shimin's three sons.

Once you let them get together, even if they can't make things happen, they will mess up three points for you.

But now it is not suitable for fighting within the Tang royal family.

Therefore, it is better to place Changsun Wuji in the southwest.

"It's just Wuji alone..."

Li Shimin argued hard.

Mowgli?

I return Zhao Min.

Li Yuanji slandered in his heart, and said angrily: "Second brother, did you forget that Changsun Wuji is still taking on important responsibilities, and he must stay in the southwest to watch Feng An.

Who does the second brother think can succeed him?
Is it Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Xue Shou, or Han Liang? "

Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, and Xue Shou all have enough qualifications and resourcefulness, but they are not black-bellied enough.

If you are not black-bellied enough, you will not be able to stand in the southwest at all.

It is even more impossible to stare at Feng An under Feng An's nose.

Han Liang didn't have enough qualifications and status, so he was asked to stare at Feng An, who could overwhelm him with his status and qualifications alone.

As for the other important ministers, they did not make a mistake, and they were sent to the southwest for no reason, as if they were distributed, and they would definitely not agree.

So the most suitable person to keep an eye on Feng An is Changsun Wuji.

When Li Shimin heard this, he fell silent for a moment.

He knew Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Xue Shou, Han Liang and others better, and knew that Changsun Wuji was the most suitable person to keep an eye on Feng An, so he couldn't refute this.

"If you have to choose someone to assist Cheng Qian, it's Dai Zhou."

His status is neither big nor small, and he has both wisdom and strategy. He has not been reused in Datang now, which is enough.

As for the others, it is better to stay and build Datang.

"Where's Wu Chen?"

Li Shimin asked hurriedly.

If it was his own business, he would definitely not be so active. Instead, he would put on airs and try not to reveal his feelings.

But regarding his son's matter, he really couldn't pretend, and asked about it immediately.

Li Yuanji didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Who do you want?"

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Hou Junji is the best, if Hou Junji is not good, Li Daliang is the one."

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and he roughly understood Li Shimin's purpose in electing Marquis Junji and Li Daliang.

Li Shimin chose these two people absolutely not because they were loyal, but because these two people were the ones who were most familiar with horse warfare and also the best at fighting horse warfare in the old department of Qin Wangfu, except for Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others.

If you want to gain a firm foothold in Mobei, horse fighting is definitely the main theme.

Therefore, when selecting military officials to go to Mobei, those who can fight horses must be the first choice, and those who are proficient in horse warfare are naturally better.

Qin Qiong can't go to the battlefield now, so it's useless to choose.

Yu Chigong is now leading the army in Daizhou, and there is a possibility that he will be entrusted with important tasks. In the future, when the Tang Dynasty marches west, he will be entrusted with important tasks.

So Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong couldn't choose at all, so the only ones who could choose were Hou Junji and Li Daliang.

Now that Hou Junji had completely abandoned the Prince Qin's mansion, and had repeatedly made meritorious service on the battlefield, it was unlikely that Hou Junji would go with Li Chengqian.

In the end, only Li Daliang might follow Li Chengqian.

Li Yuanji nodded without any hesitation and said, "Okay, then Li Daliang."

Li Daliang is not a brilliant person, nor is he very expensive. He is just an average person, but don't think that he is not good just because he is an average person.

His middle-aged appearance is comparable to that of the others in the early Tang Dynasty. If he was placed in the middle or late Tang Dynasty, he would be a famous figure.

I dare not say that he ranks first among military officials, but he can still be ranked first.

So when Li Daliang went to Mobei, he would definitely help Li Chengqian hold up the sky.
