Chapter 640: King of Changping County
"Poof!"
The Lin De Palace, which was originally very calm and cold, was almost overturned by the voices of everyone in the hall after Wei Zheng's words landed.
Li Ergou, Li Dadan, this Wei Zheng really dares to think and speak, so he Wei Zheng can say it.
"Cheng Qian, this is your own uncle!" Li Yuanjia glanced at Li Chengqian meaningfully and said, "Hehe, this guy is angry this time!" ”
"Wei Heizi is really bad!" A smile also appeared in Li Ji's eyes, and he secretly shook his head in his heart: "This eldest grandson Lao Yin is really smart and confused for a while, what is the status of King Wu in His Majesty's heart, anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but now he treats King Wu's children as commoners, wrong and ......wrong."
"Wei Zheng, you, you, you...... This official has no intention of doing so! "Even if the eldest grandson Wuji is calculating, he didn't expect Wei Zheng, a righteous gentleman who reads poetry and books and is full of wealth, to say such a thing, really, it was really a little unexpected for him.
"Not really?" Wei Zheng sneered and said, "From the opinion of the following officials, this is what Lord Eldest Sun meant!" It's just a name, even if it's a Cheng character? ”
"You ......" This time the eldest grandson Wuji had nothing to say.
"Alright, alright, don't fight!" Li Shimin clapped his hands and said: "I think what the prince and Xuan Cheng said are true, according to the habit of my Li family's heir, the eldest son of King Wu should take the inheritance word first, and take the double character as the name." ”
"Imperial Brother Shengming!"
Or Li Yuanjia saw the opportunity quickly, this straight person is the most unaccustomed to those twists and turns, what is what.
Besides, the emperor had already made a decision from the beginning, and calling these ministers over was just a formality, and these guys really took themselves seriously!
"Father Emperor Shengming!"
Li Chengqian took the lead in responding. He was followed by Li Tai, Li Zhen, and Li Zhi...... It seems that they are also very dissatisfied with this eldest grandson, you offended the Li clan in the hall with a word, and you still think that they are on your side? What about dreaming, you?
"Good!" Li Shimin laughed and said, "That's the case, Sanshui, read it!" ”
"No!"
Liu Sanshui responded respectfully. Picked up a roll of yellow-orange-orange cloth from the small golden plate held by a little eunuch, and after taking two steps forward, Liu Sanshui opened the cloth in his hand and read it aloud:
"There is Wuwang Yuanba, the fourth son of Emperor Gaozu, the younger brother of me, who was ten years old in the Sui Dynasty during his lifetime, and is now thirty and six! The sky is pitiful, and his concubine Wu Shun is virtuous and virtuous. Wen Wan housekeeping, and finally gave birth to an heir for King Wu two days ago, in order to inherit the descendants of the Li clan! ”
"Today, I will give the eldest son of King Wu the name of Chengping, taking the meaning that the world is peaceful and the four seas are attributed to the Tang Dynasty! In addition, Li Chengping, the eldest son of King Wu, was specially given the king of Changping County, and the land of the same state was given as the fief of the king of Changping County, and the Ministry of Industry was responsible for supervising the construction of the palace of Changping County. The palace of Changping County was built according to the prince's regulations, and all expenses were allocated by the household department. Purpose is done. Chin this! ”
The content of the decree surprised everyone present.
The matter of conferring the title of the eldest son of King Wu as the king of Changping County was expected by everyone, after all, with the degree of favor of King Wu in the emperor, the title of a county king was certain, and the only thing that surprised everyone was. The fief of the king of this county was actually chosen in the same state.
Tongzhou is the Wei of later generations. South City, Large. Lixian County, at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, was named Gutongguo.
From the feudal dynasty before China to the present, Tongju has long served as the political, economic, and cultural center of the Dongfu region of Gyeonggi Province, as well as the transportation hub connecting Chang'an, the capital of Shangdu, and the prefectures of Shandong, as well as the absolute regional central hub for trade and material gathering between the east, west, north and south.
Such a place. It is definitely an economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty, as well as an important transportation hub.
If this place was given to the emperor's son, it is reasonable, after all, it is a prince, and with the favor of His Majesty the Emperor, it is nothing to let his son go to garrison an economic and cultural place.
But Li Chengping is different, he is just the son of a prince and a county king, so what qualifications does he have to use this important land as a fief?
So when Liu Sanshui's voice landed, the eldest grandson Wuji almost couldn't wait to jump out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" ”
"Weichen also thinks it's inappropriate!"
"Your Majesty is indeed biased in such a reward!"
With the picker, the rest of the people ran out like flies that smelled a foul smell.
is different from Fang Cai's situation, Fang Cai's eldest grandson Wuji is obviously following Wei Zheng's way, and he is digging a pit for himself step by step; As for now, I'm afraid that their own interests have been involved.
After all, although this Tongzhou is not as prosperous and rich as Yangzhou, it can be regarded as a rich place, especially this absolutely regional transportation center hub. If there is no place for transshipment, some business exchanges and material transshipment will become a big problem.
That's why these people are so anxious to jump out in order to fight for their own best interests.
"What's wrong?" Hearing that his decision was questioned by so many people, Li Shimin's face sank slightly and asked.
The eldest grandson Wuji quickly organized the language and said: "Your Majesty, first of all, this Tongzhou is the transportation hub of our Tang Dynasty, and the trade, politics, and cultural exchanges between China and other countries pass through this place. ”
Fiefdom, fief, the so-called fief, is the land that the emperor gives to the members of the imperial family or the princes and ministers, and the users of the land have the right to collect taxes and levy troops on this land.
In other words, if Tongzhou was really given to Li Chengping as a fief, it would mean that Tongzhou, the hub of economic trade, transportation and operation linking the east, west, north and south, would become the private land of King Li Jiawu.
In this case, the civil and military ministers of the court, who have huge interests in the same state, will naturally not agree, after all, if this part of the interests is lost, their family power will be reduced by a large part.
Who would be afraid of having a lot of money these days?
"Your Majesty, the tax revenue created by Tongzhou for the imperial court every year accounts for one hundred and twelve of the total tax revenue of the country, if it is granted, the imperial court will lose a large amount of tax revenue!"
The eldest grandson Wuji will never allow this place to be taken away by others, because this place has three or four tenths of their eldest grandson's estate, although they are all hidden from the eldest grandson queen, but these properties are real. (To be continued.) )
