The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Goguryeo Protectorate
Fang Yiai has been serving as the Protector-General here for quite some years, and the court has almost forgotten him. However, according to Li Xiang's adaptation principle, if you govern this place well, you may not have the opportunity to be transferred within three years. You must consolidate this place, especially the land that did not originally belong to our Tang Dynasty. This principle must be followed even more.

Li Xiang had a reason for doing this. If local officials were replaced frequently, and he had just begun to implement his policy, and you were to get rid of him, who would be responsible? If there were signs of chaos in the local area, wouldn't the next official be in great danger?

They had just arrived here to take office and didn't know what was going on, but a rebellion broke out here. Ping Pan didn't know what to do and the only thing he could do was to escape. So Li Xiang created an unspoken rule: if your governance in this area has shown improvement, then you have to continue working here, and unless there are special circumstances, you have to stay here for three years.

Thinking of His Highness's policy, Fang Yiai felt like crying. Others stay in this place for three years, but I have been here for nearly six years. This guy has been in this position since the attack on Goguryeo. It is already the fifth year now. Is the sixth year far away?
The area under the jurisdiction of the Goguryeo Protectorate, according to today's division, includes the entire Northeast plus the Greater Khingan Range, almost all of the Arctic Ocean in the north, including Sakhalin Island, and the Goguryeo Peninsula in the south. This large area is all within the scope of the Goguryeo Protectorate.

This piece of land is really big. If you calculate the area, it is as large as five or six million square kilometers. But if you talk about the population, it is estimated that there is one person per square kilometer. This is because Goguryeo originally had a relatively large population. If there were not so many Goguryeo people, it would be even more sparsely populated now.

Of course, there is no need to send troops to station in those places in the north. Every spring when the flowers bloom, we will send two armies to patrol. There are only a small number of surviving nomadic peoples in the area. They pay taxes according to the amount stipulated at the beginning, and we will not care about them too much and try to interfere in their lives as little as possible. Moreover, they have also expressed their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and helped the Tang Dynasty to garrison here. If anything happens, they will report the news to the Duhufu as quickly as possible.

Fang Yiai managed the area in an orderly manner. Not only was it able to pay taxes every year, but he was also able to dispatch some second-line troops to ensure that the Tang army maintained order on the battlefield, transported military rations, or managed prisoners. In any case, there had never been a mistake.

It is precisely because of this that even though his father Fang Xuanling was the prime minister, there was no chance for him to be transferred back to Chang'an. His father never even mentioned this matter. Anyway, you are not the only son. According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty nobles, except for one son, the rest of the people have to find a way out for themselves. Aren't you finding a way out for yourself now?

Although this guy was also a local emperor in Goguryeo, in the eyes of the nobles in Chang'an City, no one wanted to come to this place. Chang'an City was the most core location. Who would want to run out? Unless you are sick in the head, otherwise, staying in Chang'an City is the core of power. No matter how comfortable life is in this place, it is not what we want. If you stay here for a long time, it is easy to be forgotten.

Speaking of being forgotten, Fang Yiai really wanted to cry. He felt that he had been forgotten. He had been submitting memorials to Chang'an City on time over the years, but the replies he received were always just the same two words, either "read" or "OK".

According to Fang Yiai's idea, even if you people make some requests, for example, you paid less taxes last year, you can still ask about it as a human being. But in the end, apart from these few words, you got nothing. He felt like a forgotten corner, which made him lose interest in doing anything.

Of course, Goguryeo is relatively close to Chang'an City, and most of the things are known to everyone, so there is no need to ask. Another thing is that Fang Yiai is quite like his father and has managed the place in perfect order. Do we still want to find fault with him?
What's more, even if there is something else, you have to let him go because of his father who is the prime minister.

So this guy had more and more leisure time every day. He would finish the orders given by the court as soon as possible, and then he would do his own things, indulging in landscape paintings, reading some ancient books, or going out to get a concubine. Anyway, he lived a very comfortable life. If Li Xiang saw him, he would want to exchange hands with this guy.

"Master, someone has come from the northwest. It's Eunuch Xia who is by your Highness' side."

Fang Yiai was fishing today, and there were seven or eight people serving him. All of them were Goguryeo people. Being able to serve Master Fang could be considered as a great deed on their own initiative. After all, serving here did not require any work, and all their family members, including their family members, could have enough food.

Of course, if you want to serve Lord Fang, you can't just come if you want to. You must be a person with a clean background. Although Goguryeo has been well governed now, some people still have evil intentions, so your ancestors have to be checked. If you have never done anything criminal, then you have a chance of being selected, but there is no guarantee.

These people were carefully selected. They had great respect for Lord Fang and had been trained over and over again to serve him. The Goguryeo people were the best at doing such things, so except for two guards with swords, the rest were all Goguryeo people.

When Lord Fang heard that someone had come to visit His Highness, he immediately became interested. His Highness had not sent anyone to visit him for two years. The last time he sent someone, it was to congratulate him because he had a newborn daughter. His Highness came to give him a gift. Now that he heard that Eunuch Xia had come, it must be something important.

When Qian Ping was punished, Eunuch Xia was the most useful eunuch beside His Highness. If it wasn't an important matter, why would Eunuch Xia be sent here? Shouldn't he stay by His Highness' side to serve him? Not everyone has the opportunity to get close to His Highness. (End of this chapter)
