When the envoys of Fanbang were gone, and only the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were left, Li Shimin asked the emperor: "Father, who was Xue Li just now?" This kind of archery is rare in ancient and modern times. ”

He said without hesitation.

Li Jing, Li Ji, Qin Qiong and other generals couldn't help but nodded, archery is not only one of the six arts of a gentleman, but also the most important item in the army's assessment.

In the Tang Army, it is indispensable to pay attention to archery.

Judging whether a military general is qualified or not, archery skills are also closely related, and the spirit of Xue Li when he shot and killed the fierce just now made them feel a sense of love and friendship in the hearts of these battlefield generals.

"Xue Li was the general of the Sui Dynasty after Xue Rail, but after the famous Xue family in Hedong, because of Xue Rail's early death, the family was in the middle, and a certain person heard of this person's reputation when he was enrolled in medical school, so he asked Ke'er to go to Longmen County, Jiangzhou to bring Xue Li back to Chang'an, so that he could make contributions as soon as possible." Li Yuan explained to everyone according to the words he had thought of earlier.

"I see." Li Chengqian was a little apprehensive in his heart, the emperor's grandfather was too eccentric, but he suddenly thought that he was the crown prince, how could he go to Jiangzhou in person, and his heart was gradually relieved, but he was still a little surprised by the emperor in his heart.

When it comes to Li Ke, the king of Wu, the crown prince Li Chengqian is not doing anything, but it is a big crisis for the subordinate officials of the East Palace, especially when he learns that Li Ke, the king of Wu, has obtained such a fierce general.

The crown prince Li Gang coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, now that the princes are getting older, although the third son Li Ke and the fourth son Li Tai have moved out of the palace and built a palace outside the palace, according to the practice in the country, the kings must go out to Chang'an and go to the country to secure the world in order to settle the world. ”

Li Shimin, who was in a good mood, heard this, his face froze, he has always doted on the prince, especially the green sparrow produced by the eldest grandson.

The separation of flesh and blood, what a human tragedy.

However, if you don't go out to become a vassal, then it will be a shock to the stability of the crown prince's position. Li Shimin understands this truth, but the legal principle is always greater than family affection in his heart.

Since the third son of the emperor, Li Ke, and the fourth son, Li Tai, reached the age of twelve, such proposals have been common. Twelve years old seems to be still young, in fact, when the Han Dynasty was prevalent, Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty was eight years old and the king of the dynasty was in Jinyang, and most of the other princes were about to leave the palace at the age of ten and go to various places to seal the country.

Twelve years old is really not too young.

"I know, this matter can be discussed later." Li Shimin refused without knowing his face, and avoided the important and took it lightly.

"Shimin, the Eastern Turks have just been wiped out, but the Turkic tribes are still there, and their etiquette and customs are incompatible with the Central Plains...... There will be chaos for a long time. Li Yuan emphasized.

"What does Father mean?" Li Shimin frowned, although he didn't like the emperor to interfere in the government, but he had to listen to what the emperor said.

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji without everyone noticing, and explained: "After the battle of Muye, Zhou destroyed Dayi Shang and led the old land of Yin, but Zhou Gong was afraid of the resurgence of the Wugeng rebellion, so he divided the Qi State and Lu State in the east of the Song State, and the Luoyi State in the north of the Song State, and the descendants of Yu in the south of the Song State called the Chen State, and then used the land of Guanzhong to face the old Shang...... Therefore, there has been no chaos in the Song Kingdom for 700 years, and the land of Dongyi is also classified as Zhuxia.

Jiang Shang changed the customs of Qi in May, and the birds could not change the customs for three years. Although there is a difference in time, the land of Dongyi has been returned to China so far.

After that, the Han Dynasty embraced Liaodong, set up four counties of the Han Dynasty, destroyed the Xiongnu and Loulan, and obtained the capital of the Western Regions......

The reason for this, one is that Liaodong and the Western Regions are too remote, and the other is that the Han cannot change customs and customs, although it is respected in Chang'an today, but it can rebel tomorrow......"

In fact, what the Emperor said was very realistic, in the early Zhou Dynasty, the Duke of Zhou implemented the feudal system, and it was very interesting to look at the map of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

This is the greatness of the sub-feudal system, which subtly turns regional civilization into Chinese civilization.

The British in the life of the Queen is very interesting, although it fell from the British Empire to the British Isles, but the Queen of England is still very status, how many countries in the world have joined the Commonwealth?

Taking the point as the surface and radiating civilization has always been an unchanging advanced idea.

"What does Father mean?" Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked again.

The Emperor's hand seemed to stretch out a little......

Li Yuan's face did not change and his heart did not beat, he was very indifferent, but his words were not shocking, and he said: "It is necessary to release the kings, but why should the fertile land of the Central Plains be torn apart and sealed the country?"

The people of the world, a certain meaning, should follow the example of the Duke of Zhou, based on the inherent territory of the Tang Dynasty, and divide the barbarian land as a feudal country! ”

Li Ke, who was on the side, twitched his face, his title was King Wu, and his fief was in a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, so it was a good place to return to the feudal country, but listening to the words of the emperor, he had to drive him to the barbarian land.

The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is infinitely good, and the wind blows the grass and presents cattle and sheep!

But he didn't say anything, thinking that the emperor's grandfather had always been very good to him, and he shouldn't have cheated him in this matter.

And the crown prince and the prince Li Gang looked at the emperor with a different eye, the emperor and he were a united front, and they all agreed to drive the prince to the feudal country.

But unlike him, one rushed to the interior, and the other to the side. However, as long as the prince is driven away from Chang'an, Li Chengqian's position as the crown prince will be as stable as Mount Tai at that time, so this small difference does not matter.

He rolled up his sleeves and bowed to Li Shimin: "Weichen seconded the emperor's intention to divide the prince in the barbarian land and guard the frontier for the imperial court. ”

Seeing this, some of the remaining civil officials bet on the prince, and they immediately spoke: "The ministers seconded the emperor's intentions." ”

"So?" Li Shimin nodded, groaned in his own life, called Li Tai and Li Ke to him, and asked: "Can you two change the fiefdom to the border fortress and guard the frontier from now on?" ”

Li Tai's face changed, his brain was clever, and he bit his lip and said: "My father lives in Chang'an, and Qingque's fiefdom is in Hedong, although it is far away, it is only two days away, but if it is in the border stop, I am afraid that it may not be seen for three years, and Qingque is really reluctant to father and emperor!" ”

Li Shimin nodded with a smile, touched Li Tai's head, and turned his gaze to Li Ke, his expectations for this son were not bad.

I'm afraid to say it, but it's not a shame to say it.

"Ke ......" Li Ke frowned tightly and gritted his teeth, he is different from Li Tai, he is a concubine, but ...... Is there a real chance to stay in Chang'an?

He's not sure, he's really not sure.

His thoughts couldn't help but drift to the day when the Emperor Taishang laid out the layout for him, his eyebrows gradually stretched, and he said with a smile: "Ke Yuan is the wings of the eldest brother, and he will permanently guard the frontier!"

But...... Ke is still young, and he still wants to do a little filial piety under his father's knees, and it is too ....... to go out to the domain."
