It's just that in the Tang Dynasty, the title is just a better thing, which is not as real as the title of the Han and Wei dynasties, when there were fiefs and fiefs, and their own vassal states were themselves soil emperors, and the vassals of the Tang Dynasty didn't even have a real fief.

It is not as good as the title of the Ming Dynasty at that time, after all, the old Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty was extremely open, and the founding of the country was only six princes, although the title of the Ming Dynasty did not have a fief, but the people rewarded them richly, and the hereditary replacement, but the real solidarity with the country, the glory and benefits are huge.

The title of the Tang Dynasty is just slightly better than that of the Song Dynasty, and the icing on the cake is not a really good thing.

Zhou Guogong, Zhou Gong.

Li Xiao couldn't have imagined that the imperial court would give him the title of Duke of Zhou, Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time?

It's good to be a prince's teacher, but when he thinks of Li Zhi's princes in history, Li Xiao can't help frowning slightly.

Everyone knows that the emperor Li Zhi is still very powerful in history, not to mention that he inherited Li Shimin's Zhenguan legacy, conquered the east and the west, destroyed the Western Turks, broke Goguryeo, and destroyed Baekje, expanding the territory of the Tang Empire to the peak.

Even he has many princes.

Two queens were ordained, and three princes were also appointed. If you count the few more established by Wu Zetian after his death, then Li Zhi has five sons who have been princes.

And he only has a total of eight sons, as a result, five sons have been princes, two sons have become emperors, and one son has been posthumously honored as emperor, plus his queen has also become an emperor.

Eight sons and five princes, it is estimated that no emperor has as many princes as Li Zhi.

The current crown prince Li Hong is the first son of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, but he is already Li Zhi's second prince.

He is the fifth son of Li Zhi and the eldest son of Wu Zetian, and he is only six years old now. The crown prince in history was extremely excellent in all aspects, and he was a benevolent and filial prince, but later he died suddenly, and he was only twenty-three years old when he died. Before Li Zhi died, Li Zhi was grief-stricken, and made an exception to posthumously present his crown prince as the emperor, with the title of filial piety, and was buried with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven.

Many descendants have discussed that if Li Hong in history had not died, perhaps there would have been no Emperor Zetian and the Wu clan would have ascended the throne. Maybe there is Li Hong, Wu Zetian may be another Empress Dowager Dou or something, not a generation of empresses.

Sixteen more years.

It is said that Li Hong later died of tuberculosis, which is said to be tuberculosis, and although he was twenty-three years old when he died, he was frail and sickly, and he did not even have any heirs.

"The poor boy."

"Who is Zhou Gong talking about?" Liu Garlic asked.

"Say a poor child." Li Xiao said to his captain of the guard, Zhang Cong and Liu Garlic have followed him for six years, and now they have grown into tall young men, and they have also made some contributions in the past few years in Anton.

"Does Duke Zhou miss Xiao Langjun?"

Li Xiao smiled, his son Li Qingyun is also three years old, but he hasn't even met once. Thinking of his baby kiss was actually Princess Taiping, Li Xiao was also drunk. The Taiping princess in history is not this one, but now Li Zhi and Wu Ze actually gave their eldest daughter this title.

I just don't know if this Taiping princess will be the same as the Taiping in history, and I don't know if my son will be able to drive in the future.

Thinking of Princess Taiping, he couldn't help but think of Lantian eldest princess Tamase, and he didn't know how she was now. Under the auspices of Tamase, the Chang'an News is now the first newspaper of Datang with a stable circulation of more than 5,000 copies, and even when he was in Anton, he could receive it by post station sea, but it would lag behind, and the newspapers received in this decade were often sent together in the early or early months, and sometimes even several decades.

But no matter what, if you can do this, you have to admire Tamase's ability.

In the past few years, she devoted herself to newspapers and book clubs, devoted herself to newspapers and publishing books, and sometimes took time to do charity, building many nursing homes and orphanages in Chang'an.

"I heard that Qingyun's little rabbit cub is too naughty, I'm not at home, Wan Niang wants to be a father and a mother, I can't help but spoil a little, this time I go back, I must teach this little rabbit a good lesson, or I won't be able to go to heaven in the future!"

Liu Cong smiled, "Boys always have to be naughty when they are young, if they are not naughty, then it will be worrying, naughty people are flexible and smart, and they can grow healthy." Look at my family, they are too honest, and they are as childish as their Baekje Niang. ”

In the past three years in Baekje, Zhang Cong and Liu Garlic have also taken Baekje concubines, and they have taken concubines before marrying wives, but it is the common situation of many Tang Dynasty soldiers in Andong, marrying Baekje concubines, they will naturally have children.

There is a saying that you may not have love over time, but you will definitely have children, especially in this era when you don't engage in family planning and don't take the initiative to prevent pregnancy.

Not only did Zhang Onion and Liu Garlic give birth to a baby, but Li Xiao actually gave birth to a baby in Anton.

When he went to Anton, he brought two, Cui Yingluo and Cui Yuenu sisters. Cui Yingluo has been with her for a few years, but she is only troublesome with the province around her, and he has never touched it.

But Cui Yuenu had already received the house when he was in Chang'an, and in the past three years in Andong, he has given birth to two children, a boy and a girl, and Li Xiao has accepted several foreign women such as Silla and Baekje as concubines, and even accepted the daughters of two Central Plains merchants as concubines, so in the three years outside, Li Xiao is not lonely, there are seven concubines, six children, three sons and three daughters.

Zhao Wan of Chang'an also knows about this matter, every time before taking a concubine, Li Xiao will ask her opinion first as usual and ask for her consent, Zhao Wan has no objection in this regard, on the contrary, she took the initiative to ask Li Xiao to take a concubine at the beginning, so as to open up more branches and leaves for the Li family, in this era, people both men and women have similar concepts, and they all think that having more children is an extremely important thing.

When he returned to Chang'an this time, Li Xiao brought all his seven concubines and six children, and he didn't know if the backyard would be really harmonious after returning to Chang'an.

"The official ceremony in the history of Dengzhou Assassination meets Zhou Guogong!"

On the wharf, the official of Dengzhou Assassin was dressed in a scarlet robe and led a group of officials to welcome Li Xiao off the boat.

"Brother Shangguan hasn't seen you for a long time, but you're still personable!" Li Xiao had a smile on his face, and walked forward with a smile.

Shangguan Yi, who originally served as a secretary and young eunuch in Chang'an, was an official with Li Xiao, and he was still at the same level. Now that he is allowed to assassinate Dengzhou and is in charge of the two major ports of Dengzhou and Chishan, it can be regarded as the emperor's trust in him. However, compared with Li Xiao, a former colleague, his career is obviously much inferior.

"Zhou Guogong is the real personable!" Shangguan Yi gave up his hand, with admiration in his heart, he was driven out of Chang'an back then, but in a blink of an eye, he was already full of spirit, and he was promoted to the title of Duke of the Kingdom.

Li Xiao looked at this middle-aged man who was born in the Dashi clan, who was shaved as a monk in his early years to avoid trouble, and later participated in the imperial examination to become a jinshi, with a bachelor's degree, and later became a middle-aged man who was trusted by Taizong, and thought that he would not become a prime minister in the future, but that he had a granddaughter who was very famous in history, Shangguan Wan'er.

But it seems that Shangguan Wan'er should not have been born yet, and she is also an amazing woman.
