Chapter 104: The King of the East
The eldest grandson Wuji is also troubled by Li Ke's affairs, no matter how much trouble the crown prince and King Wei make, he can accept whoever the throne falls on. Of course, he is more optimistic about the crown prince, Wei Wangshu is too angry, and he has been blinded by those rotten Confucianism.
On the contrary, it is Li Ke, who gives the eldest grandson Wuji a headache, Li Ke is no longer the gentle prince in the past, and now Li Ke has no royal bearing, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, which is difficult to deal with.
There is no point in becoming a god like before.
Li Ze can't be the emperor, but the eldest grandson Wuji is afraid that he will launch a puppet to be the emperor, and he will manipulate it in the back, and it will be a disaster for the eldest grandson's family at that time.
He pondered hard about how to bring down Li Ke again.
The three princes of the Tang Dynasty are the hurdles that the court can't get around now, and many ministers who have no eyesight are observing the strength of the three princes, preparing to stand and leave a way back for themselves, but they don't know that Li Shimin is the big guy at this time, he is now in the prime of life, and the minister's position is to give him eye medicine.
During these times, Li Shimin has a lot of ministers who have no eyesight, and the court is quieter.
However, with the frequent successes on the battlefield in the east, some bad winds began to blow again.
Compared to the east of Li Ke's main formation, the north of the Tang Dynasty is a grassland, even if Li Jing checks the prince, it is difficult to find the main force of the enemy army in that huge grassland, let alone defeat.
The war against the Western Turks was destined to be a long tug-of-war.
The King of Wei presided over the battle against Tibet in the south, and Li Tao did not find a way to fight on the plateau until now, but because the King of Wei was reckless and listened to the words of the corrupt Confucian, he suffered a few small defeats.
Among the three kings, Li Ke had the greatest military achievements, and yesterday was victorious, and the monks who watched the battle came with the news that Su Lie had captured the king of Goguryeo and was preparing to march eastward, and invited the kings of Baekje and Silla to Chang'an for an audience.
The First World War destroyed the Three Kingdoms, although Su Lie led the army, but the general of Zhengdong was Li Ke, and this credit must be counted on Li Ke's head.
After dispersing the early dynasty, Li Shimin left the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling and several other close ministers.
"I want to make Ke'er the king of the east, what do you think?" asked Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, is the reward too heavy?" Fang Xuanling was the first to object.
There are few princes in history, because the king of Fengdong is equivalent to splitting the earth as the king, dividing the government, appointing and dismissing internal officials freely, recruiting troops independently, and formulating tax policies.
If Li Ke is the king of the east, he will automatically become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, nominally belonging to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact it is highly autonomous.
Several old ministers expressed their doubts, and only the eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and thought about it.
"What do you think of the auxiliary machine?" Li Shimin asked the eldest grandson Wuji.
"I don't know what fief Your Majesty allocated to the third prince?" asked the eldest grandson Wuji.
"East of the sea". Li Shimin said. He waved his hand for the eunuch to open the map, and with his finger along the coastline, he said, "Thirty miles from the shore, all belong to the territory of the Eastern King."
The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up and he exiled Li Ke overseas, which was also a good choice.
Several ministers looked at the map and thought in their hearts, Your Majesty has completely eliminated the opportunity for the three princes to meddle in the throne. Heaven is ruthless.
"Your Majesty, overseas is remote, even if there is an isolated island, it is difficult to support the people, treat meritorious ministers like this, is this?" Is it something, Fang Xuanling didn't say it, everyone understood it in their hearts.
Li Shimin was silent, Li Ke was his son, and he didn't want to drive him overseas, but Li Ke had the general Su Lie in his hands, as well as the victorious soldiers, plus the gods of the world were all in his hands.
For the stability of Datang and his own safety, he had to do this.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the map and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed not easy to chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world, this place is the old fief of the three princes, Your Majesty named the three princes as the king of the east, so I will divide a piece of land from here and reward the three princes together to make a foundation."
Where Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji's finger, the north side was close to the Yangtze River, and the south side was the Qiantang River.
Li Shimin nodded: "A few Aiqing discussed the specific area, and the dynasty promulgated it tomorrow morning, and then sent the minister to commend the victorious army of the Eastern King."
Li Shimin walked out of the Xuanwu Hall and asked the ministers to discuss the details of the specific reward.
As soon as His Majesty left, several ministers looked at the eldest grandson Wuji together.
"What do you mean?" said the eldest grandson Wuji.
The people did not speak, but looked at it.
"Don't you think I gave Your Majesty an idea?" Eldest Sun Wuji felt aggrieved in his heart, and said, "Do I dare to come up with such an idea?"
A few people retracted their gazes, and indeed no one dared to come up with this idea, except for the two stunned.
"Your Majesty is also for the stability of the Tang Dynasty, so you have to do it, and I feel sorry for the three princes in the next place." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Since the eldest grandson feels sorry for the third prince, this reward will be formulated by the eldest grandson, this is the official seal, temporarily handed over to the lord, the official's wife, you know, the official went back first." Fang Xuanling untied the seal hanging on his waist, handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji, patted his ass and left.
When everyone saw it, they left their own seals and made excuses to slip away.
"Shameless, despicable, shameless". The eldest grandson Wuji didn't have time to stop it, and looked at the jumping feet of a table of imprinted letters.
What to reward, the devil knows what to reward, it is better not to reward at all. The eldest grandson was extremely angry, but he was helpless.
He raised his pen and ink, but he couldn't put pen to paper, the reward was light, he lost the emperor's heart, and the reward was high and he lost his courtesy. The eldest grandson Wuji raised the pen and ink for a long time, but he couldn't do it.
From morning to evening, the eldest grandson Wuji was tormented and suspicious.
Suddenly, his heart lit up, Li Ke rewarded too much, it was not good, he could reward his loved ones.
Li Ke's younger brother Li Su, his mother's concubine Yang. and his concubine Wu Mei is extremely motherly, the side concubine Wang clan and the maternal clan Wang Shilang.
Once he had an epiphany, the eldest grandson Wuji used his pen like a fly, and he had a god in his pen, rewarding all the people around Li Ke who could be rewarded, and finally in the book Li Ke's holy decree of reward.
Feng Dong Wang, Xu Qi set up his own government, east of Suzhou, Lihuating County, this county was leased to Li Ke, the king of the East.
Bounded by Dianshan Lake, east of Dianshan Lake, south of the Yangtze River, and north of the Qiantang River, this place is Huating County.
With a wave of his hand, the eldest grandson Wuji assigned this triangular wasteland to Li Ke, nominally on lease.
The place is a little smaller, and the eldest grandson Wuji is holding a brush, he looks up at the map, and writes on the division of Huating County, and the surrounding islands.
The eldest grandson Wuji was satisfied, but he didn't know that it was these five words that were added later, which made him have endless suffering.
Goguryeo was destroyed, Baekje Silla bowed down, and the battle lasted only half a year, and the war in the northeast was calmed down.
The armies moved their divisions and met Li Ke in Liaodong.
The imperial court sent ministers to commend and issue holy decrees.
"The prince is too deceitful." Wang Erya was young, and as soon as the minister left, she made a fuss.
Su Lie and several other generals also had a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts. Outside the East China Sea are desert islands, isn't Li Ke's reward for the East King being exiled?
Li Ke took the map and the holy decree, looked at the generals who wanted to stop talking, and said: "Don't worry, the vast world is promising."
The map in Li Ke's hand was a map he had mapped and mapped based on the water vein map and the intelligence of the dragon clan, and there were many large islands in the sea in the southern Ganbu Continent, and the barbarian islands were only one of them.
Immortal islands such as Penglai and Abbot Yingzhou are like the mainland, but they are occupied by immortals and are not known to the world.
Immortals, Li Ke is not afraid, he just led his troops to kill him.
