The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

"I am very anxious. You have entrusted this matter to me for quite some time. There are still a lot of people in the court watching me. If there is no improvement in a short period of time, these people may submit a memorial. How do I know who will get the position of Protector General by then? Even in my family, the younger generation is springing up like mushrooms after rain. If I don't work hard, I will be surpassed by them soon."

Xiao Shougui said as he ate his breakfast. For him, being a child of an aristocratic family was indeed a halo for him, but at the same time, the competition he faced was more intense than that of others. Why should the family resources go to you? You must let the family elders see your ability and make them feel that you are a person worth investing in.

If your current work comes to a standstill, or if Li Xiang is dissatisfied with you, then the family will have to start looking for a replacement. Perhaps that person's talent cannot catch up with yours, but at least it is another direction of development. All resources cannot be concentrated on you. In case you are abandoned by Li Xiang, or become a target of attack within the court, then the next generation of the family must have another person to take the lead.

Li Xiang can be considered a descendant of an aristocratic family. Take the royal family for example. It is impossible to put all eggs in one basket. It's just that Li Xiang's development was too abnormal, which resulted in other members of the royal family not having much chance.

However, those people were not idle either. They were also accumulating strength in secret. Once Li Xiang was defeated in Maicheng, these people would stand up immediately. If they were Li Xiang, except for the first war, they would not show up at all. They would just rest on their laurels and not enjoy the benefits until they ascended the throne.

If Li Xiang were the same as them, the land controlled by the Tang Empire would be reduced by at least 70 percent. Except for Tuyuhun and Turks, the rest of the land would never fall into our hands.

"Competition definitely exists. I can't help you with that. You can only continue to climb to the top so that you can properly handle various relationships with opponents in the court and followers within your family. In fact, behind every successful person there are a large number of competitors. Sometimes they should look back and thank these competitors. After all, without the encouragement of these competitors, their achievements would not be so high. The same is true for you."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, Xiao Shougui nodded for the first time. He agreed very much with what Li Xiang said. Take his cousins ​​for example. They all had their own plans at a young age, and each of them had a very deep mind. It was precisely because of these people's abilities that Xiao Shougui did not dare to stop for a moment. Even if he had stayed up all night last night, he had to hurry up to formulate this plan.

After he finishes formulating the plan, it will take at least three days for it to be submitted to Li Xiang. It doesn't mean that Li Xiang will approve it after reading it. Li Xiang also has his own think tank. Everyone in the think tank has to read it and express their opinions. Only then can the matter be sent to the court. After discussion in the court, it can be implemented.

It's not that Li Xiang wants to evade responsibility. It's mainly because this matter is too complicated. If you don't consult with many people, you really can't jump to conclusions. If something goes wrong in the future, the loss to the Tang Dynasty will be too great. So when any plan is under discussion, others must be allowed to put forward their opinions, and the more opinions the better.

This is also one of Li Xiang's strategies. Take the current immigration issue for example. Xiao Shougui proposed that the Goguryeo people could be allowed to come. Then, whether it is Li Xiang's think tank or the officials in the court, you can all put forward opinions or even raise questions, and Xiao Shougui must answer them one by one. If one of the problems cannot satisfy everyone, then there is no need to continue with this plan.

This is also to be on the safe side. Of course, doing so may delay many things, but even if it delays some things, it will also prevent us from making mistakes. Although the current Tang Empire is powerful, it cannot make mistakes in some major events. Once a mistake is made, it will not be so easy to ease the situation.

After dinner, the two came to the front hall to start working. Li Chengyi and Chang Sunze also came over and began to look at Xiao Shougui's plan. Last night, Li Chengyi was the general on duty. He took his men around for a long time and caught some criminals. It can be said that the local security is really bad.

Although the county system has been implemented, it is just a name. People in many places still disobey discipline. If you take people to catch them, these guys will immediately run into the desert. It is not so easy for you to catch them. In the past, the leaders of various tribes ruled here, and there were some places that were beyond their reach. It is not that these places that were beyond our reach have been changed because of the arrival of our Tang people. It can only be said that they have become more obscure.

"I think this is feasible. The people of Goguryeo are more gentle than the locals. And with the great reputation we left in Goguryeo, they won't dare to do anything tricky for at least a few years. As for what to do in the long term, we still have to slowly explore it."

Chang Sunze was the first to express his opinion. Li Chengyi had been developing in the army. As for how to deal with people's livelihood issues, this guy basically had no say, mainly because it had never been done before. But Chang Sunze was different.

When he was in Indochina, this guy was in charge of both military and political affairs. He was relatively familiar with the people of Goguryeo and Fuso. The people of these two countries would do anything to become legal residents of the Tang Dynasty. As long as you can increase his points, even if it means selling out his father, these people will have to think about it for a while.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that Xiao Shougui listed them as the object of consideration. If it is the Turks and Xueyantuo people, Xiao Shougui believes that there is no possibility. As nomadic peoples, if you immigrate them all here, maybe you can give them more room for development. If they unite with the locals, a large nomadic country may be established... (End of this chapter)
