Chapter 1033: Factions and Engineering Issues
In feudal society, the emperor was the supreme ruler of the entire country, and the crown prince was the next ruler after him. But there is hardly a dynasty where the change of throne is not accompanied by blood, and I believe that the prince is definitely one of the most headaches for the emperor.
Now the concubines of the harem have given birth to two daughters and four men for Li Nan, and two of the daughters are fine, and as soon as these princes came into the world, there was an evil wind in the empire.
For the sake of the throne, there has been a matter of seizing the heir since the Qin Dynasty, and all dynasties and generations since then have set off countless bloody storms because of this matter.
In Li Nan's memory, it seems that the Qing Dynasty's Nine Dragons seized the heir the most tragically, it is said that the throne was originally to be passed to the fourteenth son, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen first killed the second brother with the eldest brother, and then made the eighth brother fall out of favor, with the loss of power of the eighth elder brother and the entire end of the group behind the eighth elder brother, overcoming obstacles all the way to the emperor's throne.
His sons and brothers killed each other, which is definitely the greatest sorrow of every father, and Li Nan, who didn't attach much importance to the throne, didn't want such a tragedy to happen in the empire.
This time, Li Nan just warned those courtiers in the court, telling them to quickly restrain themselves and be cautious in their words and deeds about this matter, and next time they find that someone is fueling the trouble, they will not be so polite.
Among the ministers in the Jinluan Palace, all the people who participated in this matter were all frightened and sweaty after hearing these words, especially the officials from the Jiaozhi Li Daocheng line and the former Song Kingdom.
Although the empire has always preached the idea of equality among its own people, regardless of region or ethnicity, in fact, people from the same region or the same nation will still spontaneously huddle together, and this matter still cannot be eradicated.
Li Daocheng and other Jiaozhi officials all belong to the original courtiers and officials of the empire, and they have also paid a lot for the development and growth of the empire over the years, and Li Nan is grateful to them from the bottom of his heart.
Among the harem concubines who gave birth to the prince this time, one of the daughters is Li Tianxin from Jiaozhi.
This woman was originally the Qinghua princess of the Li Dynasty of Jiaozhi, because a large number of locals rebelled after the capture of Jiaozhi at that time, so in order to calm the emotions of these people, Li Nan followed Li Daocheng's advice and married this Jiaozhi princess.
To put it simply, this is a political marriage, but as an emperor, you always have to sacrifice some, not to mention that Li Tianxin is also a beauty in Jiaozhi, and Li Nan will not suffer a loss in this matter.
As the king of a country, many times it is necessary to use political marriages to win over other forces, in addition to Li Tianxin, who married in order to cross his toes, there are also Mo Feifeng, Huang Caier, Cen Yulu, Queen Zhao Yingluo and others of the original servant clan.
Li Tianxin, who was named Concubine Nanli this time, gave birth to a son, and Li Nan named him Li Qi.
Because of Li Qi's biological mother, Concubine Nanli, this prince immediately became the hope and sustenance of the Jiaozhi group in the empire, and also became the candidate for the crown prince in their minds.
The biological mother of the second prince Li Qi is Li Tianxin, the concubine of Nanli in Jiaozhi, the mother of the third prince Li Yun is Concubine Zhen Li Xiaoshan of Goryeo, the mother of the fourth prince Li Yong is the martial concubine Wei Xiangman of Niu Roar, and the mother of the eldest prince Li Feng is the former Emperor Xiande of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Qiaoyun, the concubine of Song Hui.
As a result, several groups emerged within the empire that supported the four princes, divided into the Song Dynasty faction, the Jiaozhi faction, the Goryeo faction, and the Niu Roar Barbarian clan.
Because of the small number of Niu Roar Man, Goryeo Xinjin was incorporated into the empire, so these two factions had little influence in the government and the opposition, while the courtiers and officials of Jiaozhi and the former Song State could account for half of the empire.
It is because the people involved in this matter are too wide, although Li Nan is the emperor, he can't punish half of the officials in the country at once, so he can only use this method, hoping to wake them up.
Seeing that the ministers had obviously begun to reflect, Li Nan didn't want to waste any more energy on this matter, so he returned to the dragon chair and sat down.
In the following court meeting, the ministers began to report on some major domestic events.
The two major armies of the empire in the south are ready to move towards the Jinglong Jindian Kingdom, and the Tubo tribes have also started from Qingtang and have been steadily eaten away by the empire, and the most important thing at present is Han Shizhong's cavalry corps.
Because the Northern Jin Kingdom was no longer able to compete with the Empire, Han Shizhong's cavalry corps also withdrew from the Empire and went to the west instead.
After the great battle with the Jin State, Han Shizhong's cavalry corps was finally formed, although more than 20,000 cavalry lost a quarter, but after the war, they also became real cavalry.
After the empire replenished the war horses and personnel, Han Shizhong's cavalry corps entered Tibet.
The empire sent troops into Tibet, not to deal with the Tibetan tribes, but to help them.
In that year, the Liao State was destroyed by the Jin State, and the eighth generation grandson of the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Dashi, fled to Xinjiang and Central Asia, and established the Khitan regime there, also known as Hara Khitan or Black Khitan.
Yelu Dashi was founded as "Liao", in order to indicate the inheritance of the Liao Dynasty, because it is different from the Liao State built by Yelu Abaoji, so this country is generally called the Western Liao, or the Western Liao State.
Back then, strong enemies were around, so no one paid attention to the remnants of the Liao country's escape, but Yelu Dashi really did it, and he actually founded a country in the Western Regions, and invaded all around, and it has become stronger and stronger.
The Tibetan and Tibetan tribes have long been regarded as things in the empire's pocket, but now the Western Liao dares to attack the northern part of Tibet and the countries of the Western Regions, which is tantamount to grabbing something to eat in the imperial pot.
In view of this, after the advice of the military department, Li Nancai issued a holy decree ordering Han Shizhong's cavalry corps to go to Tibet to help the Tibetan tribes resist the Western Liao army.
If this Western Liao State was on the periphery of the empire, it would be easy to do, but this country is far away in the western regions of Central Asia, thousands of miles away from the empire, and there are deserts, Gobi and other impassable terrain in the middle.
The imperial army is extremely dependent on logistics supplies, and once there is a shortage of ammunition, the combat effectiveness will be sharply reduced, so the biggest problem faced by Han Shizhong's cavalry expeditionary corps is the problem of baggage transportation.
When Li Nan mentioned this issue, Zong Ze, the Minister of Transportation, who had previously come out to play the book, went out again to explain.
"Enlighten the Holy Lord!" Zong Ze opened his mouth and said, "I have been discussing this issue with other colleagues in the cabinet for a long time. If you want to open up this transportation path and solve the logistical problems of the cavalry corps, you first need to solve the road in Tibet. However, after the investigation of our technicians, it is definitely not easy to build a road on the plateau. ”
"Any construction in Tibet must face the severe challenges of permafrost, alpine and hypoxia, and ecological fragility.
Permafrost means that these soils will melt and sink as the temperature rises in summer, and frost heaving with the cold temperature in winter, and if it is not treated well, the roadbed will collapse.
The lack of oxygen in the high temperatures and the harsh environment mean that the workers working here have to resist altitude sickness while working hard. The harsh environment, the shortage of resources, and the low oxygen content all brought great inconvenience to the construction......"
