Chapter 76: Opening the House and Building Teeth

What happened in Liangzhou City?

Although many people refuse to believe the final result, facts speak louder than words, and Li Shimin still recognizes Li Kuan's contributions.

Calculating the time, the holy decree of Chang'an City is indeed almost here.

If it hadn't been snowing heavily, it would have arrived a few days earlier.

It was the first time for Li Kuan to welcome this kind of more formal decree, and he quickly returned to the room to change his clothes and came to the lobby to receive the decree.

"Father-in-law Lan, it's really hard for you to run in person in the winter."

Seeing that the person who came to announce the decree was actually Lan He, one of the personal eunuchs beside Li Shimin, Li Kuan was a little surprised.

It seems that Li Shimin still attaches great importance to himself, and he doesn't know what reward he has for himself.

Datang's heaviest military exploits, with a force of 1,000 people, defeated 20,000 elites of the Western Turks, which is definitely a rare great contribution of Datang in recent years.

That is, Li Jing swept the Eastern Turks and was able to overwhelm them.

"The prince is polite. His Majesty was very happy to hear that the prince had made great achievements in Liangzhou. The old slave also took the initiative to ask for help, and he wanted to issue a holy decree to the prince. ”

The character who can be mixed into Li Shimin's personal eunuch is naturally not the kind of person who has no eyesight.

Seeing Li Kuan's face-giving initiative to talk to himself, he also responded with a smile.

After a brief greeting, he began to receive orders step by step.

"The system said: Liangzhou is located in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and the surrounding area is ......"

Lan and Yun said in a fog, Li Kuan didn't understand a little, but the various rewards were clearly heard.

"Li Kuan, the king of Chu, is specially allowed to open a mansion in Liangzhou and lead the military and political affairs of the northwest states!"

The other rewards Li Kuan didn't matter, but at the end of the holy decree, Li Shimin came to allow Li Kuan to open the mansion and build teeth, which stunned him.

The matter of opening a house and building a tooth is not particularly unusual. Whether it is Li Chengqian, Li Tai, or Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, these princes have the right to open the government and build teeth.

However, it is very rare to allow Li Kuan, a teenage prince, to open a mansion and build a tooth, or in a frontier important place like the northwest.

Although Liangzhou was Li Kuan's fief before, and nominally Li Kuan could command the Liangzhou garrison and the assassin history, but in fact, he was more of a symbol.

But now that Li Shimin has allowed him to open a mansion and build teeth, it will be different.

If Li Kuan really lets go of his hands and feet, several northwestern prefectures such as Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Shanzhou will really obey him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, take the order!"

Seeing that Li Kuan was still stunned, Lan He reminded with a smile.

"Thank you for your grace."

Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher!

No way, Li Shimin is not only the emperor, but also his biological father, although Li Kuan doesn't like to kneel, this time he still kneels down to Chang'an City to thank him.

"Gonggong Lan, Your Majesty allows this king to open a mansion and build a tooth, and also brings the northwestern states into the jurisdiction of this king, so the ministers of the court and the central government have no opinion?"

After the business was done, Li Kuan naturally didn't have to kneel anymore, and simply entertained Lan He in the lobby.

Not long after, the kitchen had already prepared a hot meal, and Li Kuan personally accompanied him, which could be regarded as taking this opportunity to understand what had happened in the days after he left Chang'an City.

"Lord Wang, how can you have no opinion. In fact, the opinions of the ministers are too big. "Lan He didn't sell Guan Zi with Li Kuan, besides, this is actually not a secret, it's just that Li Kuan is not in Chang'an now, so it's inconvenient to inquire.

"Oh." Li Kuan took a bite of the mutton shabu in the copper pot, and was not surprised at all, "What are you talking about?" ”

"It's nothing more than that the northwest is a frontier land, and the prince is still too young, and an unexpected victory can't explain anything. But Fang Gong said a fair word. Lan He also followed Li Kuan to take a handful of tender mutton.

Li Kuan looked at Lan He and did not speak.

"Fang Gong said that in ancient times, Ganluo was twelve years old, and now there is a fourteen-year-old king of Chu to destroy the Western Turkic army, which is not surprising. What the northwest needs is a person like His Royal Highness the King of Chu who can suppress the grassland peoples, not only does he not feel that the prince is unsuitable, but he feels that there is no one more suitable to lead the northwest states than the prince. ”

"What is the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji?"

Although the four northwestern states cover a large area, their status in Datang is not high; If it weren't for the fact that these places connected the Western Turks, Tuyuhun, and Xue Yantuo, which had special military significance, many Wenchen of the Tang Dynasty would not even want the four northwestern states.

In order to maintain the operation of the four states, Chang'an City has to transport a lot of grain and weapons every year, on the contrary, the taxes paid by these state capitals are almost negligible.

"Zhao Guogong is strongly opposed to the prince's opening of the mansion and the construction of the teeth, Your Majesty originally wanted to re-entitle the prince to the position of governor of the northwest capital, but because of Zhao Guogong's opposition, it was finally over."

Lan He naturally knew that Li Kuan and the eldest grandson Wuji did not deal with each other, but he had always been the only one who obeyed Li Shimin's orders, and the eldest grandson Wuji could not affect him anything, plus he was optimistic about Li Kuan's future, so he knew everything.

After a feast of pleasure for the guests and hosts, Li Kuan had a more accurate understanding of the situation in Chang'an City, and also knew that he was going to stay in Liangzhou for a short time.

As for how long he will stay in Liangzhou City, it depends on how long Li Shimin can endure how long he can toss here.

In the next few days, Li Kuan began to officially reward meritorious deeds.

Now that the government has been opened, there are more positions that can be appointed in their hands.

Wang Xuance, Wang Xuanwu, Xue Li, and Lin Ran all have their own appointments, even Zhu Fufu and Dai Quan of the hot air balloon camp have all kinds of rewards and promotions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Kuan also asked Li Shimin for two people to serve as his prince and the lord.

The long history is Ma Zhou, this guy has been dormant for a few years, and this year he finally took the opportunity of Li Shimin to let the hundred officials discuss the gains and losses of the imperial court to help Chang He stand out, so that Li Shimin finally discovered himself and was dispatched to work in Menxia Province.

Now it is the time when Ma Zhou has just entered the officialdom, although he has temporarily emerged, but it is far from reaching the level of being a marquis and worshipping the prime minister, and it is not difficult for Li Kuan to dig up the corner.

As for Chu Suiliang, he was in charge of the business of Hongwen Pavilion in the early years, and he had a certain reputation, but now he is still in the position of the seventh-grade sesame official, and Li Kuan's Chu Wangfu master Bo is also a sixth-grade position, so it should not be a problem to dig up a Chu Suiliang.

As for whether he can keep people after digging them up, this has never been something Li Kuan is worried about.

With more than a thousand years of knowledge, if you can't even fool a few people, then just buy a piece of tofu and kill it.
