There are fewer and fewer nobles in Luoyang City, and another group of nobles have been granted land and gone to their own fiefdoms to become vassals. This time, the fiefdom was mainly in the Xishan area west of Jiannan.

The emperor sent seventy-two princes to the vassals, including one clan. The emperor's sons are still very young, and the other families have already been divided for the first time, but this time the emperor still divided the eldest son of the emperor.

The eldest son of the emperor was born to Concubine Yan Shu, and he was also the eldest son, before the emperor ascended the throne, in fact, Luo Changqing had been passed to Luo Yi as his grandson, but later the emperor ascended the throne, Changqing as the eldest son of the emperor, many ministers thought that this line could not be broken like this, so they proposed to let Changqing also pick two on one shoulder, just like Luo Cheng back then, Yan as Luo Yi's daughter-in-law, Shan Binbin as Luo Gui's daughter-in-law, two big heads, each inherited a room.

Now Changqing is asked to do so.

Originally, no matter whether Changqing picked two cases or not, he was not yet the age of his heir.

But when Luo Cheng went to see him in Changqing's palace a few days ago, he found that this child was a little too spoiled now, and when he went that day, it was lunchtime, and Changqing was eating.

Seeing his lunch, Luo Cheng's face immediately fell.

At noon, ordinary people don't even eat it, and even if they do, they eat it casually. Even if it is said that in the house of the emperor and prince, there is an old practice of eating four or even five meals, but Changqing's lunch is too luxurious.

A red sheep branch cane, a bright shrimp stew, a water calf, and a scallion vinegar chicken.

It is said that it is a four-course dish, but the red sheep branch cane is a whole roasted sheep, and the four sheep's hooves support the body of the sheep and roast the whole body golden, and still maintain that upright posture.

Bright shrimp grilling is to roast live shrimp on the fire, but it cannot reduce its luster and transparency.

As for the water refining calf, it is to stew the whole little calf, which requires all the firepower, and the fire must be at home, and the meat will be stewed, and the appearance will not be scattered.

Green onion vinegar chicken, similar to white chopped chicken, the chicken is steamed and then mixed with green onion vinegar, etc., which has a unique flavor.

Luo Cheng has not eaten all these dishes, such as water refining calves, he has never eaten them.

A lunch, it is a child's Changqing who actually eats such a hearty four-course meal.

The emperor was very angry, and at a young age, he talked about pomp and luxury, which showed that the people around him did not teach him well. Luo Cheng immediately demoted all the people in the palace of the king of Chu out of Luoyang and went to the border.

At the same time, he also rebuked Yan.

Then in this sub-feud, Luo Cheng also added Changqing to it, and granted him to build a country in the West Mountains for 500 miles, Changqing's fief is in the upper reaches of the Qiang River, the Bailongjiang section, between the Minshan Mountain and the Xilian Mountain, and it is also between the Tuyuhun, Longyou, and Jiannan three roads, which flows in a northwest-east direction.

This is a relatively poor fiefdom, with high mountains and deep valleys, inconvenient transactions, and has always been the three-regardless zone of Zhuqiang's distribution. Now the emperor has assigned this place at the junction of the three roads to Changqing, asked him to build the White Dragon Kingdom, and named him the White Dragon King, which can be regarded as a punishment.

However, if the Bailong River can be dredged, then the abundant wood, medicinal materials, fur and other resources here can go down the river, reach Shuzhong, reach Guangyuan, and then connect the Yangtze River.

The emperor divided Changqing here, not only to punish him, the Bailongjiang River originates from the West Tilting Mountain, the West Tilting Mountain is the watershed, one side is the Tao River, the other side is the Bailong River, the Tao River is an important river in Longyou, and the Bailong River connects the Luo River into the Jialing River.

This area, with the west tilting mountain in the north, the Minshan Mountain in the south, Qinghai in the west, and the Hanshu in the east, is a real strategic place.

Changqing is still young after all, so although the emperor demoted those people around him and divided him into feuds, he only let him go out of the palace to live in the palace for the time being, and did not directly let him become a vassal.

For the time being, the emperor sent people from the province to take care of the construction, and after Changqing reached the age of eighteen, he would go to the country of the vassal.

The emperor's original plan was to assign the Norgai grassland, that is, the Songpan Plateau to Changqing as a fief, but after careful consideration, it was decided to first assign the upper reaches of the Bailongjiang River to Changqing, and at the same time set the Norgai grassland as a pastoral supervisor directly under the imperial court.

These two places are strategically important, the emperor is not at ease to hand over to others, Norgai is the main road to Gansu to Qingdao, he is located in the north to the Hehuang Valley, south to the Luojiang River, Dadu River or east out of the Jialing River to reach the Sichuan Basin of the triangle, transportation and trade status is important, has always been the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the interior of the communication of the front edge of the area, is the place where soldiers must fight.

Especially now that the imperial court wants to conquer Zhuqiang and fight with Tubo in the future, this place is the most important.

This grassland belongs to the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, which is considered a plateau, but relative to the Minshan Mountain in the east and the Qionglai Mountain in the south, it is surrounded by mountains and is a basin on the plateau.

The terrain here is flat, the water source is abundant, and the water and grass are abundant, which is very suitable for grazing, so Luo Cheng designated this place as a pasture to raise military horses for the use of the surrounding military government. It has always been rich in good horses, and its horses belong to the Hequ horse breed, which is one of the world's famous horse breeds.

And there is also land for cultivation, which can reclaim more than 100,000 acres of fields, and the grain produced can also be used by the surrounding military governments, so as to avoid the difficulty of transportation.

Two important lands, one in the Bailong River valley with poor conditions but an important location, were divided into Changqing, the eldest son of the emperor, but managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and one was classified as a royal pasture, which was also under the emperor's name.

"Your Majesty, the eldest son of the emperor is causing trouble again."

"What's going on?" Luo Cheng was looking at a pair of sand tables on the terrain of the West Mountain, and frowned when he heard the report from the inner servant.

"Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the palace to send the eldest son out of the palace to open the palace, but for some reason there was a dispute, and the crown prince beat the eldest son."

"The crown prince beat the White Dragon King, so why do you say that the eldest son of the emperor is in trouble?" Luo Cheng asked.

"It was the White Dragon King who scolded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, and then broke the jade given to him by the Prince, so the Prince started beating the White Dragon King."

Luo Cheng frowned when he heard this, the White Dragon King is the eldest son, he is more than a year older than the crown prince Jiawen, and he usually looks at their brothers very harmoniously, especially the crown prince, who is mature and stable, but he can't imagine that the brothers are fighting.

"Bring the crown prince and the white dragon king."

When the two princes came over, they both had a little blue nose and swollen face.

The White Dragon King scolded the prince, the prince beat the White Dragon King, and then the White Dragon King was not convinced, and scuffled with the prince, although the people next to him quickly separated, but the two of them were still a little injured.

"It's amazing, you two brothers, these are still about ten years old, and they already know that brothers fight?" Luo Cheng said with a dark face.

Although the two brothers were still glaring at each other, it could be seen that the emperor was angry, and they still knelt down to plead guilty.

"White Dragon King, your prince is a brother, and you are a brother, but you are still a prince, you must pay attention to the discipline of the monarch and the minister, you are the king, and Jiawen is the prince, he is the prince of the country, so even if it is your younger brother, you should respect him, and your subordinates insult the monarch and even beat the monarch, do you know what kind of crime this is?"

"Punish you to go back to the mansion to repent, you must not go out of the house for half a step within a month, and copy the 100-character surname a thousand times, and at the same time write a 3,000-word apology letter to the prince, you must be sincere, in addition, you will also compensate the prince for the broken gift. Alright, let's get out. ”

Changqing lowered his head and stepped back.

Only the emperor and the crown prince were left in the palace.

"Jiawen, you are the crown prince, but you are also the younger brother of the White Dragon King, why do you want to beat your brother, brother beat your brother, this is not a shame, is it the virtue of the prince?"

"You are the crown prince, you have to remember a sentence, you have to endure small things."

Jiawen looked up at his father, still a little unconvinced, "It's okay for the White Dragon King to insult his son, but he still wants to insult his son's mother, he is not filial first, and his son teaches him a lesson for his mother." ”

"Haha, it's not your turn to make a move, remember, you have to endure the little things."

"Father, what should I do about that big thing?"

"Big deal?"

Luo Cheng pinched his chin, "You have to endure small things, and if you encounter big things, you have to be ruthless!" ”

Young Gavin was thoughtful.
