Chapter 449: Peace Talks

Pei Zeng, who was in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, hurried to meet Yi Feng and told him that after the emperor named Yang Liang as the king of Rinan, he had sealed four feudal southern frontiers of the clan in a row. ∮ ∮ ∮ ∮ said, www.

"The emperor named Yang Zhiji, King of Cai, as the king of Yongchang, Yang Lun, the king of Teng, as the king of Tengyue, Yang Jing, the king of Dao, as the king of Shunning, and Yang Ji, the king of Wei, as the king of Pu'er. The Four Kings were built in the area south of Nanning Province. When Pei Zeng reported, he couldn't stop shaking his head, because when he first received this information, he didn't find the location of these four feudal states on the map at all. Later, it was not easy to figure out that these four newly placed counties actually did not have such county names at all, and the fiefdoms of these four countries were not within the boundaries of the Sui Dynasty at all. The southwestern border of the Sui Dynasty was bounded by Nanning Prefecture, and even most of the prefectures of Nanning Prefecture belonged to the actual control area of the barbarian aborigines. And the four countries newly sealed by the imperial court are still south of Nanning at all, and the map there is marked with the territory of Pubu. Han Dynasty belongs to the decay of the country, later the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Emperor attached to the country, the Han Dynasty set up the decay of the county and Bonan County, and the original Yizhou six counties were divided and merged with the establishment of Yongchang County, after the establishment, Yongchang County experienced the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shu Han, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang several dynasties ruled, the South Chen lost this territory, Zhou Sui re-set Yongchang County, but in fact has moved eastward, the original decay of the prison and other old places for the Pube natives.

Yi Feng carefully looked at the four counties of Yongchang, Tengyue, Shunning, and Pu'er that Pei Zeng added to the large blank area on the map, and it took a long time to reluctantly match the geographical location of the later generations in his impression, and understood that the location of the four princes and counties newly sealed by Yang Jian should probably be equivalent to the western part of Yunnan Province in later China and may also include part of northern Burma. But as Pei Zeng said. These four counties are really expanding their territory.

Speaking of Cai Teng, the four kings of Daowei, they are all Yang Jian's serious nephews. The son of four brothers, he actually reduced these four princes to the king of the county at once. And all of a sudden, it was given feudalism to the far south of Xinjiang. Even the names of the four counties were unprecedented, and their vassal states were built entirely outside the existing borders.

"His Majesty the Emperor's ability to expand the territory is really strong, and with a finger on the map, the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty immediately expanded to the south by four counties." Pei Zeng couldn't help but smile with Yi Feng.

Yi Feng couldn't help but smile, Yang Jian was really a good means. Previously, Yang Liang was feudal in South Vietnam, and he thought that this was just a means for Yang Jian to save this son, but he didn't expect that Yang Liang had just been feudalized, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Jian had sealed four more vassal states. If it is said that Yang Lang was sealed to the state of South Vietnam. After all, Rinan County was owned by the Qin and Han dynasties, and the prefecture was also controlled by the Sui Dynasty, after all, there were still 10,000 households. But the Yongchang Four Kingdoms are inevitably a little too unreliable. Directly feudal to go abroad, although the land of Yongchang Siguo originally belonged to Yongchang County, and it has been established since the Han Dynasty, but since the time of Chen Guo in the Southern Dynasty. has already lost the control of this land. And Yi Feng still remembers very clearly, the natives of this land are very powerful, called Pubu in the Sui Dynasty, and called the Zhao in the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Six Zhao rose, and finally even established the Nanzhao Kingdom, and the Tang Army, which had been repeatedly beaten, had a blue nose and swollen eyes. The Southern Zhao Kingdom has been inherited for thirteen generations. After nearly two hundred years, it almost coexisted and died together with the Tang Dynasty. Yang Jianfeng four kings founded the country in this area. Did he have a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and sealed the four kings to the far south. So as not to threaten the imperial power, and at the same time, there is a clan to establish a country in southern Xinjiang, which may not be able to stabilize the frontier, suppress these Pubu natives, and plan for the imperial court to recover the hometown of Yongchang County since the Han Dynasty. Although Yongchang County was remote, it was the second largest county in the Han Dynasty at that time, with a population of more than 500,000. If the feudal four kingdoms can establish a solid foundation in southern Xinjiang, it will be of great benefit to the imperial court.

"It seems that the emperor really intends to implement the feudal system." Yi Feng patted the map.

"That's a good thing." Pei Zeng is very optimistic, "The emperor's movement is very fast, which also shows that he is very determined, it has been nearly twenty years since the founding of the country, and when he is old, the emperor has finally decided to feudal kings again." In my opinion, this is great news. It seems that the emperor is no longer wavering about the inheritance system, he has made up his mind, the crown prince is the heir, and he will not hesitate any longer. Feudal kings, this is the best way to stabilize the position of the crown prince. The rest of the clans that can threaten the status of the prince are feudal frontiers, and the next step is to abolish the old practice of the prince sitting in the governor's mansion, step by step, and finally cut off the power of the clans, and then send them out of Beijing to become vassals, which can no longer affect the prince's succession. ”

"Maybe the emperor has decided to abolish the crown prince and elect the king of Jin as the new prince, the feudal kings, aren't they preparing for the abolition of Yong Liguang?" Yi Feng is not as optimistic as Pei Zeng, things have not yet reached that point, the emperor's feudal system is indeed of great benefit to the inheritance of the prince, but it is still too early for whoever is the prince and who can finally obtain the inheritance. However, Yi Feng is quite in favor of the feudal system, especially the current practice of sealing the clan to such a distant frontier, and it is southern Xinjiang not northern Xinjiang, he does support it. Looking at the clan system of each dynasty, Qin unified the world, but the clan did not have too many privileges, the Han unified the world, and the descendants of the great feudal clan, but the rights of the vassal states were too great, and it was inevitable that there would be a war between the emperor and the princes. After the destruction of the Han Dynasty, although Cao Wei also implemented a feudal system for the clan, it was extremely strict with the clan, the vassal states of the clan were very small, and the rights of the vassal states were in the hands of the officials sent by the imperial court, the princes were just a virtual and powerless ornament, and the court often moved the princes to change the feudals, which made the princes have no real power at all, and when the Sima clan usurped the power of Cao Wei, the princes could not help at all. After the Sima clan usurped the imperial power of Cao Wei, he learned the lessons of the Cao family and began to seal the clan, and at the same time gave the clan great authority, not only the feudal country was huge, but also had the right to lead the army and the people, and even served as important positions in the central and local governments.

In the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was no longer a real feudalism such as that of the Han and Jin dynasties.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, although the clan was reused, commanding troops abroad, being the chief administrator, assassinating the history, and also serving as the prime minister, general, Shangshu and other positions inside, it has not been divided into vassal states.

However, the kings ruled the six major governors' offices, each of which ruled dozens of states, and led hundreds of thousands of troops, which also constituted a hidden danger for Yan zhòng. Now Yang Jian is the founding emperor, and the people who lead the major governors are his sons and grandsons, but once Yang Jian dies, can the princes and grandsons who have heavy troops still obey the new emperor who succeeds to the throne? After two assassinations of Taisun, Yi Feng believed that Yang Jian must have seen through the stakes. He is not dead yet, Yang Liang dared to assassinate, and even transferred troops to intercept and kill the emperor's grandson, if he died, those princes who coveted the throne had heavy troops in their hands, how could they be willing?

Yang Liang surrendered to the king of Rinan, feudal South Vietnam, this is just a beginning, an opportunity.

After Yang Liang was enshrined in the southern kingdom of Japan, Yang Jian immediately divided the sons of his four brothers into southern Xinjiang. Yi Feng believes that this is just the beginning, and the next will definitely be other clans and feudal states, and in the end, it will definitely be the turn of the emperor's sons and grandchildren. However, he predicted that except for Yang Liang, who was feudal by the emperor for assassinating him, the other princes might have to wait until the end of the Northern Expedition to take their turn, and perhaps some emperors and grandsons would be feudal in advance. But in the end, the princes and grandchildren will definitely be driven out of Beijing by the feudal frontier like other clans.

In feudal southern Xinjiang, the emperor is so scheming. In a place like southern Xinjiang, it is difficult to rise, and it is even more difficult to rebel one day. This southern Xinjiang is not the south of the Yangtze River, but the southern south of the distant Lingnan. There are natives everywhere, the mountains are poor and the rivers are evil, and it would be good if the princes could deal with these natives.

"If the emperor appoints Yang Guang as the new crown prince at that time, then according to the emperor's current behavior, it is estimated that I will definitely be sealed to southern Xinjiang by then, and become a king of the Bi country or the king of the Cham country or something, well, I have to prepare early." Yi Feng thought to himself in his heart, he would never want to be the king of the Jinsha River or the king of the Lancang River, and the king of Ruili River or something. Do you want to take a risk and find an opportunity to kill Yang Guang? After all, Yang Guang is very threatening now, once he becomes the prince, he, the son of the former prince, will no longer be the emperor's grandson. Or, go and kill Yang Yong yourself, so that your own imperial grandson will be the real prince. However, Yang Yong is dead, and it is difficult to guarantee that Yang Guang will not become the new prince. Or do the two of them together?

Yi Feng shook his head and smiled, leaving this thought behind, it was too crazy. The risk is too great to be worth it.

In the final analysis, it is better to manage your own strength, and if you have enough strength, when you really need to go crazy, you will be prepared at that time.

Damn, but Gao Gong, an old thief, wants to fight against the Turks by himself, and he has bad intentions.

"Pei Bo, what do you say we are talking to the Turks?"

"Peace talks?" Pei Zengren was stunned, completely unable to keep up with Yi Feng's rhythm.

"At the moment, the Turks are menacing, although we are not afraid of the Turks breaking through the city by holding the city, but even if we defend the city and fight, so many Turks will attack it, and we will have to pay a lot of casualties in the end. I think we sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Turks, and many women of gold and silk were asked to withdraw their troops. Yi Feng pinched his chin and squinted his eyes.
