Before Li Shimin's words fell, Xu Fenglei had already walked up slowly.

"See Your Majesty."

"Is Your Majesty looking for a minister?"

He saluted Li Shimin with a smile, and greeted the eldest grandson Wuji, Ma Zhou and others by the way.

There are really a lot of ministers who came with him.

"Huh."

Li Shimin didn't smile at the skin, and said,

"I thought you wanted to come to Jiuzhi Mountain to be a general, and you really wanted to build my imperial mausoleum here."

"As a result, you're also messing around here, and I don't see how you can contribute."

"Since that's the case, then you might as well go back to Chang'an, at least it's more comfortable to live in Chang'an."

Xu Fenglei shrugged.

"Your Majesty, don't you hear that 'those who are good at fighting have no great achievements'?"

He held his head high and said,

"It's not that you stare here every day, it's just that you work hard."

"The minister's hard work is to control the overall progress of the project, you can't see the minister anywhere, but the minister's figure is actually everywhere."

When the eldest grandson Wuji and others heard this, they all grinned.

If you want to blow it, the master will blow it!

Dereliction of duty can also be pulled by him like this, with this ability, who in the DPRK and China can match?

"Really?"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and asked,

"Then I ask you, how many craftsmen and workers are there in Jiuzhi Mountain now? How's the progress? How many years will it take to complete? ”

"Say it now!"

He stared at Xu Fenglei, preventing him from making eye contact with the overseer on the side.

But Xu Fenglei didn't look at it at all, his expression was as usual, and he opened his mouth to come:

"There are more than 30,000 craftsmen and workers in Jiuzhi Mountain, and the main body of the outer tomb and the inner chamber has been built, and the progress is about sixty percent."

"With the current progress, it will be completed and accepted in about two years."

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and his eyes fell on the three supervisors.

"Is he right?"

The overseers nodded like chickens pecking rice.

"Yes, yes, exactly the same."

"Xu Gong is well aware of the progress of the project, and he often comes to inspect it, and he has never neglected his duties."

"That's right, the last officer can testify."

The three of them endorsed Xu Fenglei one after another.

Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, I'll trust you."

He waved his hand and said,

"You're familiar with this place now, so take me for a walk and see the scenery here."

"In this underground palace, there is no scenery to see."

Although this imperial mausoleum is very luxuriously built, ordinary people will indeed feel shocked when they come in to take a look.

But for Li Shimin, who lives in Taiji Palace all day long, this underground palace is really nothing special and nothing to see.

Xu Fenglei nodded.

"Chen found ten views in Jiuzhi Mountain, among which there is a waterfall, which is very distinctive."

He said,

"Your Majesty, please."

So saying, he led the way.

"You can all rest here for a while, you can go shopping, and I'll go see the waterfall."

Li Shimin gave an order and told the entourage, including the guards, to stay in the underground palace.

This move is also an absolute trust in Xu Fenglei.

"Yes."

The eldest grandson Wuji knew that the emperor was going to ask about politics, so he naturally responded obediently and watched the two leave.

"I thought that the Taishi had a very hard life, but I didn't expect it...... It's a good environment. ”

Ma Zhou leaned on the stone bridge and said with a smile,

"You can also command tens of thousands of people, which is no different from a general on the battlefield."

"Leisurely, at ease."

The eldest grandson Wuji responded:

"With his status, where can't he be at ease?"

"Even in the palace, you can come and go freely."

"Relatively speaking, in this Jiuzhi Mountain, it is already considered a clear hardship."

……

On the mountain range, Xu Fenglei and Li Shimin climbed the mountain one after the other, but there was nothing to say on the way.

Unlike in the underground palace just now, Xu Fenglei had no smile on his face, and Li Shimin's momentum was also a little shorter.

"You...... Wait a minute. ”

"I'm having trouble with my legs right now."

Li Shimin panted a little, raised his hand and greeted.

Click.

Xu Fenglei's footsteps stopped, and he turned his head to glance at him.

"Your Majesty is only forty years old, is it so wasted?"

He said unceremoniously,

"In the palace, I'm afraid that I have to be carried by someone when I walk, and I will be hurt by the wine and wealth."

"If you continue like this, you can live for another ten years, and you will be considered to have burned high incense."

There were a lot of people outside just now, of course he wanted to give Li Er face.

Now that there are two of them, he naturally doesn't have to be too polite, and he can say anything directly.

"You...... Can you kid hope for me to get better? ”

Li Shimin glared and said,

"Just now the eldest grandson Wuji said that I want to live to be one hundred and twenty years old, I think that one hundred and twenty years old is unlikely, seventy or eighty years old may be possible."

"You're okay, just say that I've only been ten years? Can I only be fifty years old? ”

"I'll live that short?"

He touched his arm.

It's still quite strong, it doesn't look like premature aging.

"Fifty is not a short life, and Qin Shi Huang has not passed fifty, which does not prevent him from being the first emperor of the ages."

Xu Fenglei responded,

"With your current achievements, it is certainly possible to leave a strong mark in history, and it will surely be praised by future generations."

"In a sense, you can have eternal life."

"The stronger Datang will be in the future, the more dazzling and radiant your eternal life will be."

LI Shimin; “……”

"It sounds weird, but at least it's a little more pleasant."

He pouted,

"Okay, the hexagram you replied to me, I asked Cheng Qian to explain the hexagram, knowing that you like to put on a show, I have already come upside down."

"Now, can you say that?"

Xu Fenglei didn't reply, just continued to move forward.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Ahead, there was a faint sound of water.

He stepped forward quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was already far away.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, his face turned dark, but he could only grit his teeth and continue to follow.

This is undoubtedly a toss for him, a forty-year-old man who needs to be carried when he goes out.

……

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The waterfall is like a white horse, roaring in the valley.

The crystal water splashed on Xu Fenglei's face, and streams of cool water vapor steamed onto his face, giving people a different kind of freshness.

"The flying stream went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days."

Xu Fenglei muttered.

"Yo-heh."

Li Shimin was surprised,

"What a poem! What did you create? ”

"Copyed." Xu Fenglei is very sincere.

"I know."

Li Shimin muttered,

"Your cultural background has always been a mystery."

The two of them just stood under the waterfall, listening to the sound of the rushing water, but it did have a bit of a taste of cleansing for the soul.

"Your Majesty is going to Gaochang again?"

Xu Feng said suddenly.

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a little weak.

"Yes...... Oh, yes. ”

Xu Fenglei sneered.

"Your Majesty said before that you would give me an explanation, so this is your explanation?"

He said,

"That's funny......

Li Shimin:"¥......&*#¥"

The sarcasm in this tone made him a little unbearable!

"I have my considerations!"

He defended himself with some unhappiness,

"You don't know the situation at that time, Hou Junji made great contributions in Tuyuhun, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how can I focus on his faults, regardless of his merits?"

"He ......"

"Okay, don't talk about it, I don't want to hear it anymore." Xu Fenglei interrupted directly.

Li Shimin choked directly, and his face turned red for a moment.

Apparently, he choked a little uncomfortably.

"I don't care about the process, I only care about the result."

Xu Fenglei looked at Li Shimin, and said,

"I wish he died on the battlefield of Gaochang, but I know it's hard."

"Maybe this person just shouldn't be killed, I'm not as persistent as before, many things, there is a definite number in the dark, maybe I can forcibly change, but I don't want to focus on these little things."

Li Shimin was stunned.

"Your Majesty wants to ask how the Tuyuhun people are settled, and the hidden dangers of the Turks."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"To be honest, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I've had this idea since the moment I defeated the Turks."

"All means of resettlement are only expedient."

"The so-called people who are not of my race will have different hearts. If Datang has been strong, it's nothing, in case something happens to Datang and it is weak, then there is no doubt that they will bite back. ”

Li Shimin took a deep breath and nodded.

"That's right."

He said,

"I don't want to leave a legacy for future generations."

"I don't want to work hard to defeat Tuyuhun, but the result is just to let the Murong clan change someone as the king."

"What can you do? Go ahead! ”

Since Xu Fenglei has laid so much groundwork, he naturally has his own way.

"From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, I divide history into several stages."

Xu Fenglei looked at the waterfall and said,

"Three emperors and five emperors to the Shang Dynasty, it was slavery."

"From the Zhou Dynasty to the Warring States, it was a feudal system."

"Starting from the Qin State, it was a county system."

"Each system, compared to the former, is undoubtedly a kind of progress, which can make the country more stable and more efficient."

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

He naturally knows these things, which he knows by being familiar with history.

Tang Chengsui system, but fundamentally inherited the county system of the Qin Dynasty.

"The feudal system and the county system have their advantages and disadvantages."

Xu Fengleidao,

"The reason why Qin Shi Huang created the county system was to centralize power and control Kyushu with the imperial court."

"This is naturally extremely special, and it has also been practiced by the kings of all dynasties, and it is really useful."

"The current Datang is also like this."

"But the county system has its limitations, that is, the world can't be too big, and it's too big to be managed."

"I don't know if Your Majesty has ever heard a sentence - the imperial power is only ten steps away and within a thousand miles." 、

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"I haven't heard of it."

"What does that mean?"

When he heard this, he instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.

"Within ten steps, the emperor is also a mortal, if I am unhappy, I will kill you directly!"

Xu Fenglei patted Li Shimin's shoulder and said with a sneer,

"Even if you are an emperor, what can you do?"

"This is what Tang Ju said, when the scholar is angry, the blood is splashed in five steps, and the world is vegetarian!"

"Although this story is fictional, if the historical King of Qin really heard this, I am afraid that he would also be jealous!"

Li Shimin: "!! ”

"Stay away from me, you kid! Take the paws away! ”

Li Er had goosebumps.

Xu Fenglei shrugged.

"As for within a thousand miles, the meaning is even simpler, the Emperor of the Sky is far away, your emperor has an order, and it will take several months to come to me, so I will listen to you all?"

And he said,

"If I were a magistrate thousands of miles away, I would definitely be the Emperor of the Earth! The emperor can't control me! This is called the feudal official! ”

"The same will happen to the local officials, let alone the barbarians."

"Even if they are attached, that is, they verbally shout the Heavenly Khan, in fact, where will they recognize you as the boss behind their backs? Eighty percent still have to be honored by the local chief. ”

"And the leader may rebel and split one day, what can you do? There is no way at all. ”

Li Shimin's face darkened a little.

He was silent for a moment before he said:

"It's not rough."

"I'll admit that there's some truth to what you're saying."

"After all, this is also my trouble, you have analyzed it so well, so how can you break the situation?"

At this moment, Li Er's heart was like a cat scratching.

He desperately needed to know the answer!

Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.

"At this time, the advantages of feudalism are reflected."

He said,

"At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the place actually controlled was only such a large area as a palm, how did Zhou Tianzi expand his territory?"

"It's a sub-seal! Seal the meritorious ministers to various unexplored wild places! Let them be the boss over there, and let them open up the wasteland and build the country! ”

"After the wasteland is opened, the lord of the country still respects Zhou Tianzi, and the territory of the Zhou Dynasty has become bigger all of a sudden!"

Li Shimin frowned.

"It's not going to work, is it?"

"How the Zhou Dynasty fell, you don't know."

"Those lords who were entitled, later they all deviated from morality, the king of Chu asked Zhou Tianzi about the importance of Ding, and the king of Qin directly destroyed the Zhou Dynasty."

"It is absolutely not feasible to divide the seal, and I must not follow such an old path."

When the Zhou Dynasty was at its most depressed, the area that was really controlled was such a small palace as Teniang!

Out of the palace, Zhou Tianzi said that it would not be counted.

What kind of emperor should this special mother be?

The grievances are all suffocated to death.

"That's right, so you can't be completely feudal! That's turning back the clock on history. ”

Xu Fenglei Zhengsedao,

"But for those areas that cannot be controlled, the minister believes that the implementation of the sub-feudal system can expand the influence of the Tang Dynasty and enhance cohesion!"

"At the very least, the leaders of those Hu people have changed from Hu people to Tang people!"

"The Hu people have changed from being autonomous to being governed by the Tang royal family! The Tang people are outside, and they are superior! ”

Li Shimin frowned and stroked his beard.

"Let's wrap it up."

Xu Fengleidao,

"The minister's strategy is—"

"Datang implements the policy of inner counties and outer feudalism!"

"The ten domestic roads are the basic plates, and they naturally have to be controlled by the county system!"

"And the Turkic region in northern Xinjiang, the Tuyuhun region, and even other regions that will be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in the future, you can use the feudal system to divide the monarch and go to the founding of the country!"

"If there must be a bunch of these khans and khans on the grassland, then I hope that those khans and kings are all of the blood of the Han family, and the blood flowing in their bodies is the blood of the Tang people!"
