Chapter 123: I don't have any juice to eat
"And the key to dealing with the next issue of agriculture and animal husbandry is that the border must be heavily guarded." Li Qing continued to talk to Li Shimin about the problems of later generations: "And because the lessons of the Tang Dynasty are too profound, the emperors of later generations invariably chose the strong and weak branches, and what they prevented was the self-respect of the border army. β
"Here I want to talk about the Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang...... Well, you two should be able to talk about it, both of you lost their wives and children in the prime of life......"
Li Shimin glanced at Li Qing resentfully: "Brother Xian, are you polite?" β
"Ahem...... It's okay, anyway, my sister-in-law is back, and Gao Ming is also very good, so it's not taboo for me to ridicule two sentences, right? Li Qing coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Speaking of this Ming Taizu, with his main contradiction in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was mainly focused on the contradiction with the northern border troubles. β
"So he arranged heavy guards on the nine sides of the Great Wall, but he was originally in Jinling in Jianghuai, which means that Jinling along the Great Wall has become the center of gravity at the same time, but the military center is not Jinling, which also means that the political forces within the dynasty have once again appeared to a certain extent, and they are a little closer to the Heshuo of the Tang Dynasty."
"But Zhu Yuanzhang is more of a chicken thief, and it is the nine kings who guard the nine sides, and to put it bluntly, they are all his sons, so there is no need to worry about it in the Hongwu Dynasty. And Zhu Di, Taizong, who succeeded to the throne, is almost not a normal successor to the throne like you, he is one of the nine great kings. β
"The specific process is more complicated, don't ask, take you to see the fun in person when you have time...... You just need to know that after he ascended the throne, he realized that the political center meant that the emperor had a monopoly on violence, a heavy army, and both external and internal security, so he changed the capital to the original town of Heshuo. β
"That place is adjacent to three grain-producing areas - especially the Qinghe, which is known as the North Library of the World; The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal below is the icing on the cake, connecting Suzhou and Huzhou, which are known as 'Suzhou Lake is ripe, the world is full', and there is also a nomadic area in Heshuo, which is also strategically located, adjacent to the ocean, and controls Liaodong in the north, in short, it is very suitable for the situation at that time. β
Li Qing added: "Of course, don't praise him for treating the national capital as a border, in fact, the emperor of your Tang Dynasty is also, sitting in Chang'an, and the border is approaching him every day." β
"You ......" Li Shimin took a deep breath and chose not to be like the virtuous brother.
*Resentment from Li Shimin +200
"Turn your gaze from the Ming Dynasty back to other regions, and give you an example, such as the sea power country, the capital is generally set on the edge of the sea, such as ......"
Li Qing said, picking out the maps of several later countries to give Li Shimin examples.
"For example, London, the capital of England in later generations, and Edo, the capital of the Japanese slave kingdom." Li Qing pointed to the map and said, "You see, in order to obtain resources from the vast sea, they set the capital city by the sea......"
"Of course, my Datang wants to unify the world, so I can't stick to the status quo, and I should set up a few more capitals." Li Qing pointed to the map with a grin: "Look, Tokyo is located in the land of the river, and you can open up to the ocean; Zhongjing is still Chang'an, after all, my hometown is here; Xijing can be set up in Samarkand first, and then moved to Constantinople - that place was named after Constantine the Great, and when the time comes, Brother Li will take him down and change his name, and then Brother Li you will name it a little, and it will be called Weifengcheng......"
"Weifeng City?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up suddenly, thinking that he had written Wei Feng Fu to compare himself to the phoenix, and now Li Qing suggested that he should change the name of Wei Feng City after taking a historical city, which was simply too much to his liking.
"Those who know me, virtuous brothers!" Li Shimin hugged Li Qing's shoulders and laughed.
Li Qing continued: "The situation of Fan Zhenwei is too big, and you still need to discuss with Fang Xuanling and them what to do after you go back, after all, people are professional, and I ...... I can only ask questions, but I can't solve them for you. β
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded.
"If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem...... Of course, it's for you to solve the Jiedu envoy and the tooth soldiers, not to solve my ......" Li Qing saw Li Shimin's gaze turn and immediately stopped his reactionary behavior.
"In addition, the feudal towns are not all of the same type, like Heshuo belongs to the kind of people who support the army and respect themselves, respect the imperial court on the surface, but actually do not listen to the tune or the announcement. They're actually a small court. Internally, it basically belongs to the father's death and son's succession, and there are also subordinates who support it, and the Tang Dynasty court can often only pinch its nose and posthumously recognize it, for example, Fugu Huai'en is a very typical Heshuo-type festival envoy, but he is still a little loyal - but not too much. β
"The second type is the feudal towns in the frontier areas, such as Anbei Beiting, which is mainly to defend against nomadic invasions. In fact, they are doing a good job, compared to letting the central government send troops to garrison, they can save a lot of money by themselves, a typical example is Li Siye. β
"The third is in the feudal towns of the Central Plains, stationed heavy troops to prevent Heshuo rebellion, which has the role of suppressing Heshuo, barrier Guanzhong, and communicating Jianghuai."
"The last one is the southeastern feudal town, they don't need to raise many soldiers, and the military expenditure is relatively low, so they can support the imperial court financially. Among these four types of feudal towns, Heshuo is the most dishonest. β
"Judging from the operation of Li Yu's great-grandson Tang Xianzong Li Chun, the feudal town is not indestructible, but it is a pity that Li Chunyuan and Zhongxing did not start a business and the middle way collapsed, and the last chance was lost."
Li Shimin was startled, pulled Li Qing's arm and asked hurriedly and tremblingly, "Li Chun? Could it be that he is also like Li Longji, who is bright and faint? β
*Tension +200 from Li Shimin
He is really scared, Datang really can't stand the toss anymore, he would rather collapse in the true sense of the middle way than see the sad scene of pushing the stone up the mountain and down with his own hands like Li Longji.
"Oh that's not true, Li Chun asked for immortals in his later years, and begged the world's scholars to refine the elixir of immortality for him, but the heavy metal content of Jindan exceeded the standard, and after eating too much, his temperament became extremely irritable, and the eunuchs on the left and right were often punished. In the fifteenth year of Yuanhe, Li Chun murdered the eunuch Chen Hongzhi and others......" Li Qing said quietly.
"Eunuch...... It turned out to be a eunuch......" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that in the days to come, there will be no emperor who will be able to clean them up?" β
Li Qing spread his hands and said: "Don't say what emperor you are, what prince you are, as long as you provoke the eunuchs, you may not have good juice to eat." β
"Could it be that they will do whatever they want?" Li Shimin asked in disbelief.
Li Qing whistled and said lightly: "Sao Rui, you can really do whatever you want with military power. β
When I returned to Zhenguan Year, it was almost the end of the year. Li Shimin was impatient to go to the Dezong Dynasty to save the grandson who was worthy of playing with him, but was stopped by Li Qing.
First, he can't run there, and second, it's about to celebrate the New Year, so why can't he pass this year first?
Since Gao Tang is still there, Li Shimin plans to have a lively year. After several trade-offs, he planned to call Li Zhi and the children and grandchildren of the Yonghui Dynasty to come to Zhenguan Dynasty for the New Year.
Of course, Li Qing did not object, he is also a person who likes to be lively, so he went to Yonghui Nian and brought the princes and grandsons named by Li Shimin over, and even Princess Taiping and Li Longji and Li Heng, who took refuge, also followed Zhenguannian.
The government was temporarily thrown to the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, who were all tried and tested old cadres anyway, and it was nothing to add a burden.
It is said that power is the best medicine for men, and in fact it is the same for women. Princess Taiping, who almost became the executive vice emperor in the Yonghui Dynasty, was radiant, not at all as sad as the abandoned woman when she first came. However, her eyes were always staring at Li Longji with bad intentions, not knowing what she wanted to do.
When it came to the Zhenguan Dynasty, Princess Taiping deliberately lagged behind by one position, pointed at Li Longji and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zu, who is this?" β
"Li Longji, didn't you tell you?" Li Qinghu looked at Li Zhi suspiciously, and then at Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping glanced at Li Longji unexpectedly and said in a low voice, "Why did he come to the Yonghui Dynasty?" When I came, Aya mysteriously didn't tell me, isn't he the emperor? β
"Hey, don't mention it," Li Qingyi slapped his thigh: "Guess what?" Li Longji, this kid didn't do good things, so An Lushan served as the envoy of the Three Towns Festival in Hebei, and finally rebelled! Even the capital Chang'an is occupied by others, and he fled to Shuzhong in a hurry, or your imperial grandfather wiped his ass......"
"What?" Princess Taiping's apricot eyes immediately burned with rage: "He, Li Sanlang, expelled me from the center of political power through a coup d'Γ©tat, but he himself is so mediocre? β
*Rage from Princess Taiping +2000
I didn't think it was anything like it before, but now after listening to Li Longji's big eyes, Princess Taiping's grievances immediately came up.
Even if the palace is put on the throne, it may not be possible to lose Chang'an and flee to Shuzhong in a hurry, right?
"Didn't expect that, did you?" Li Qing said with a smile: "I won't tell you, even your second brother, your fourth brother, your Aya and your imperial grandfather, they didn't expect Li Longji to be so insectic." β
At the end, he added: "How is it, Taiping, do you want to beat him up?" β
In my heart, the title of Princess Taiping is actually not very suitable, this scale is obviously more majestic than Jin Mulan in "Detective Di Renjie......
"Yes! Absolutely! Princess Taiping clenched her silver teeth and looked at Li Longji viciously, her expression as fierce as a tigress.
Li Longji seemed to sense Princess Taiping's killing intent, and when he looked back, he happened to meet Princess Taiping's angry gaze.
He immediately knelt down with weak legs and begged for mercy: "Auntie, aunt! Spare your nephew! β
He didn't know why Princess Taiping was angry, maybe it was because he had forced her to death? Or why, he didn't know anyway, anyway, it was over kneeling down and begging for mercy.
This is the rule he learned in Chang'an, otherwise he would be easy to beat with the prestige of the emperor or the emperor.
"Don't worry, wait until you get to the place and then fight, it's boring to fight on the road, and it makes people see jokes." Li Qing began to persuade Princess Taiping, but on the surface, he was persuading, but in fact, he was secretly adding a fire.
*Gain +2000 Panic from Longji Lee
The Lizheng Hall was very lively, and as soon as Li Zhi arrived, he left his eldest daughter and Li Longji behind, not caring whether the two of them would play dog brains, and went directly to Li Mingda.
"Son!" Li Zhi slipped behind Li Mingda, reached out to cover her eyes, and deliberately asked in a rough voice, "Guess who I am?" β
Li Mingda said with a smile: "Of course it's the Big Ninth Brother!" When you hear it, you can tell it's you! β
"Hahahaha......" Li Zhi squatted down and jumped around holding Li Mingda in his arms, "My son is so smart, go, Brother Jiu will take you on a big horse!" β
"Yes, ride a big horse!" Li Mingda stretched out his short arm to hook Li Zhi's neck, happily responded, and then stretched out his hand to the little Li Zhi who was eating on the side and said, "Brother Jiu, let's go, let's go ride a big horse together!" β
Regarding the fact that he can ride himself, Li Zhi readily agreed. On the one hand, because he can experience riding himself, on the other hand, because of the taste, he always feels that this future self will compete with him.
But he didn't think that even if he borrowed 100,000 guts from himself in the future, he would never dare to snatch his son from Aya and A-Niang.
Otherwise, he will definitely be allowed to taste what is called mixed doubles.
Princess Taiping looked at the harmonious and friendly appearance of Aya and the little aunt in front of her, and couldn't help but redden.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Qing saw that her eyes were red, and couldn't help asking.
Princess Taiping raised her head slightly, trying to keep her tears from flowing: "I think that at the beginning, Aya was coaxing me when I was still a child in the Manna Palace, and that time was ...... It was really the best time of my life. β
"Alas......" Li Qingneng could say something, so he could only sigh.
At this time, Empress Dowager Dou walked over, glanced at Princess Taiping with a little caution, and then looked at Li Qing and asked with a smile, "Xiaoqing, who is this?" β
"Oh, Taiping, I've come to see your grandmother." Li Qing hurriedly introduced, "Auntie, this is my Brother Li's granddaughter, Princess Taiping, hey, she is a hard-working person......
Hearing that this was her great-granddaughter, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but feel relieved, she kindly hugged Princess Taiping's shoulders, and the two walked aside and chatted softly.
Li Qing didn't have the heart to listen to what the two women were talking about, he reached out and touched an orange and played with it in his hand, his eyes kept watching Li Zhi and Li Mingda riding the loving and cheerful appearance of the adult Li Zhi.
After a while, Empress Dowager Dou came over angrily, walked up to Li Qing and said, "Xiaoqing, the feather duster from before, is there anything left?" β
"Ah, there is." Li Qing took out several feather dusters and handed them to the Empress Dowager Dou: "There are quite a lot, just use them." β
Empress Dowager Dou took a feather duster and handed it to Princess Taiping, then reached out and held a feather duster, and said angrily: "He Li Longji is so stupid!" The old body let him Li Sanlang know today, who said that women are inferior to men! β
