Chapter 537: The Advantages and Disadvantages of the Major Metropolitan Protectorates
Among the several imperial courts, the Beiting Imperial Palace has the largest area under its jurisdiction, but if you want to talk about the degree of wealth, it is estimated to be the lowest.
In addition, it is a problem of security, the herdsmen here do not obey the discipline of the imperial court, this is already a problem left over from history, it cannot be said that there is no such problem in the Tang Dynasty, in the past, the nomads went south, and it has always been the most headache for the Central Plains Dynasty, so if anyone is sent to manage this side, it is really a blood mold that has fallen for eight lifetimes.
Some ministers have nothing to do, so they give a name to the capital protection mansion outside, the best is naturally Tuguhun, which is close to the economic hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and the distance from Chang'an City is not far, the situation on the grassland is not bad, and the annual income is also about medium.
The second is the Goguryeo side, the land here is also very good, the most important thing is that the population is large, if you are sent here to be the protector of the capital, not to mention how comfortable it is.
The most important is the cold zone in the north, the common people do not obey the discipline, the weather is still bitter, if anyone is sent here, then wait to endure hardship.
"Li Ju ......"
When Li Shimin named this name for the first time in the court, the faces of many ministers around him changed abruptly, including Fang Xuanling, who also opened his eyes at this moment, his son was still in Goguryeo, and this time he also followed Li Xiang on the expedition, although he was not Li Xiang's person, but he also cared about Li Xiang's every move.
The crown prince Li Chengqian also has a lot of eyes, after hearing his father's words at this moment, he immediately knew that a new crisis was coming, the old emperor really didn't worry for a day, the eldest grandson just solved such a big danger for you, you will send the younger grandson over to block him.
The relationship between Li Chengqian's eldest son and his sister-in-law is not very good, when Li Xiang was just reborn, his son-in-law Li Ju was still a child, and he didn't know much about many things, but now with the increase in age, coupled with the words and deeds of some people around him, this kid also knows what is going on with his mother.
Li Chengqian has tried it a few times, wanting to see what this kid thinks in his heart, but the people of the old Li family all take advantage of the three hearts, don't look at this kid is only ten years old now, but the answer is not leaky, but Li Chengqian has also observed, this kid should remember the hatred.
When he was young, his mother was kicked out of the East Palace, and announced that he was dead, but he was actually taking care of Hou Junji's illegitimate son, and the second son of the East Palace also sent someone out to inquire, but there was no news at all.
Who doesn't miss their mother? So don't look at this kid with a good face, but in fact, he may have other thoughts in his heart, and he may also blame all this on Li Xiang's head, but because Li Xiang's strength is too big now, he doesn't dare to show this.
Li Chengqian doesn't want his brothers to be enemies, according to his ideas, everything in the East Palace is earned by Li Xiang, so Li Xiang will do his best to divide the cake, and now Li Shimin is constantly giving Li Xiang eye medicine, in order to regain control of the power in Li Xiang's hands, all the children and grandchildren have become chess pieces in Li Shimin's hands, even if it succeeds in the end, then the East Palace is also a piece of loose sand.
"Father Qi, the child is too young, and he needs to learn more in Chang'an City, if he is sent to the north, in case he is ......"
Li Chengqian knew that he couldn't stop it, but he still hoped to work hard, if the two sons fought with each other, the most painful thing was that he was the father, the most important thing was that he knew Li Xiang as a person, don't look at the two as half-brothers, but if the second son affects the boss, then Li Xiang will not hesitate to kill him.
How can a father not know the talents of his two sons? Li Xiang's talent doesn't need to be proved to anyone, whether it is the ministers of the court or the common people, they all know Li Xiang's talent, the youngest son just has some brains, if you want to wrestle with Li Xiang, I don't know how many times you have to die, who doesn't want their son to live?
"As a child of the Tang royal family, of course, he has to share worries for the imperial court, Li Xiang seems to be so old back then, he already knows how to pacify Goguryeo, and now he is leading the army to fight in the south and the north, and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, this is his own brother, I believe that his talent is not bad, not to mention that there are not many herdsmen within the jurisdiction of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate......"
Since Li Shimin's heart has decided, he can't let Li Chengqian stop him in a few words.
Fang Xuanling and a few people also felt that it was inappropriate, but they couldn't find a reason to refuse, Li Shimin is the king of a country, and he wants to exercise his grandson, and it will work anywhere, if others stop him, what kind of heart do you have?
"Grandson's order."
When everyone hesitated in their hearts, the second son of the East Palace had already knelt down to receive this holy decree, and everyone's eyes showed surprise again, it seemed that it was another brotherly dispute, they all saw the blazing enthusiasm in the eyes of the second prince, and the people of the old Li family were very eager for power.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then moved his fingers slightly, Wang De announced his retirement from the dynasty next to him, even if there are still some people who have something to do, Li Shimin doesn't want to deal with it now, the most important thing I have done, he wants to go back to the harem now to have a good rest, as for the other things of the previous dynasty, it is not too late to do it tomorrow.
"Your Highness, the emperor has an order, please stay in the palace for dinner."
Li Chengqian wanted to educate his second son, but before he could say this, Wang De had already arrived next to Li Ju.
Li Chengqian is Li Shimin's son, what does he want to do? Li Shimin is clear, so now he has to give this grandson a little more energy, if he is fooled by Li Chengqian's words, all the efforts he made just now are in vain, with the support of his grandfather who is the emperor, then this kid dares to do anything.
Li Chengqian looked at his youngest son with a complicated face, at this moment this kid followed Wang De to the harem, although he was a disciple of the prince, but because he was the grandson of Hou Junji, few people mentioned it in the court, Hou Junji has been characterized as a traitor, if anyone brings up such a person, isn't it to add to the emperor's blockage?
But now this matter was raised by the emperor himself, even if they wanted to stop it, the emperor didn't give them a chance, not to mention that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, who does the emperor want to promote, isn't that a matter of one sentence?
