Yuan Qing Ling said sarcastically, "I just think it's too early to enfeoff."
The Supreme Emperor said, "It seems a little early to entrust them now, but Gu is not just afraid that they will fight in the future, but these five children will have great achievements in the future. The reason for enfeoffing these five cities to them is
The armistice agreement signed between Northern Tang and Bei Mo is estimated to be torn up in less than twenty years by Bei Mo. These five cities are close to our border with Bei Tang and are our best line of defense. Twenty years later, the children will all grow up.
If they are too big, with their ability, they can transform these five cities into the Northern Tang Dynasty, which will become our best barrier against the Northern Desert. This has been Guwei Beitang's plan for twenty years. The people of those five cities
, we must know who their king is from now on.”
Chu Shoufu added next to him, "Therefore, before Banshi returned to the court, he had already ordered General Hu to make arrangements for some people from Xiuzhou Prefecture in Jiangbei Prefecture to move to these cities, marry with local people, and even encourage inland people to move to these cities.
People will continue to migrate there, expanding the population of our Northern Tang Dynasty, and let the roots of Northern Tang Dynasty be implanted in the ground of those five cities, and they will be firmly held."
Yuan Qingling was a little moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that they were thinking so far-term. No one knew what the world would be like in twenty years. But only by formulating a plan can we know how to go in the future.
Maximize control over variables.
Now that they have decided, Yuan Qingling can't say anything. After all, even if they are enfeoffed, it is impossible for the children to go now, and they have to send someone to take care of them.
After Yuan Qingling left the palace, she told Lao Wu about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Lao Wu knew about it a long time ago. On the day of the celebration, the Supreme Emperor asked him what he meant and he thought it was okay.
Yuan Qing Ling said, "You knew this a long time ago but you didn't tell me."
"I forgot." Lao Wu smiled.
"Can you forget that enfeoffment is a big deal?"
Lao Wu's handsome face showed off, "I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. I agreed mainly because the taxes and food from these five cities will be allocated to them in the future. I agreed as long as I had money."
Yuan Qingling was speechless by his bent on getting into Qian's eyes.
"I just don't know whether my father agrees or not." Yuan Qingling is still worried about this. After all, this is the decision of the Supreme Emperor. Listening to him say why he should agree to this sentence can prove that he has not actually discussed it with his father.
of.
"Father shouldn't object." Lao Wu paused, but then frowned, "If father had other plans, he would probably allocate a city to Lao Ten. If that's the case, let's come here
I don't need the blessing, my daughter doesn't have to be entrusted to such a far away place." After all, her father also has a throne to inherit.
Yuan Qing Ling said, "Let's not make any noise about this matter for now. The Supreme Emperor will probably communicate with his father."
After all, nothing they say is appropriate, and even humility from the person they get is considered offensive.
Lao Wu's guess is quite reliable.
The Supreme Emperor hasn't said anything about this yet, but Emperor Ming Yuan told Concubine Hu first.
In fact, he has thought about it for a long time. Concubine Hu is the woman he loves. He also likes Xiao Laoshi very much and wants to treat him better. The position of prince is impossible. He is not so irrational. He can only enfeoff. It’s just that
, it is inevitable that those veterans will criticize the enfeoffment at such a young age, but the cities ceded in the Northern Desert still have some thorny problems. It just happened to be given to Xiao Laoshi, and General Hu was allowed to guard there. It must be useless.
People gossip.
Before telling Concubine Hu, he mentioned it to Eunuch Mu Ru. Eunuch Mu Ru said cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you want to seek the Emperor's consent for this matter first?"
"No, the Supreme Emperor will not interfere." Emperor Ming Yuan felt that there was no need to do so. If it was enfeoffed, it would still be the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty and there would be no changes. As for the enfeoffment arrangement of the territory, the Supreme Emperor would never interfere.
If you ask, it will appear that he has no decision.
Eunuch Mu Ru boldly tried to persuade him again, "In the past, the Supreme Emperor might not have interfered in political affairs, but this time he personally conquered these cities. I thought that the Emperor should ask the Supreme Emperor first."
Emperor Ming Yuan felt that what he said made sense. He thought about it and said, "I will mention it when I say hello tomorrow."
Eunuch Mu Ru smiled, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Ming Yuan ordered him to pack his things and went to the palace of Concubine Hu.
Concubine Hu still had some stomach discomfort in the past few days, and she had paid great attention to eating and drinking, but her gastrointestinal problems could not be improved in a day or two, so he came over to watch her eat as much as possible.
Little Lao Shi liked to cling to his father very much. When his father came, he would get into his arms and act like a baby. Emperor Ming Yuan's other children had grown up, and he was very happy to have a little person clinging to him like this.
He sometimes knows that his doting on Xiao Lao Shi goes too far, but how can a father not dote on his own son?
"What have you been eating lately? I'm so fat. I'm almost catching up with your second brother." Emperor Ming Yuan smiled and patted his little butt. It was so fun.
Little Lao Shi curled his lips, "My son, I don't want to be like my second brother. My second brother is like a pig, so ugly."
Concubine Hu's face darkened, "Zhangzui, who allowed you to criticize your second brother like this?"
Xiao Laoshi was scolded by Concubine Hu and immediately dared not say anything.
Emperor Ming Yuan felt sorry for his son, held him in his arms, and said to Concubine Hu, "What are you doing to him? Tong Yan Wuji."
Concubine Hu said helplessly, "Your Majesty, Tong Yan Wuji is also involved. He is disrespecting his second brother. It would be very bad if the prince listens to it."
Emperor Ming Yuan saw his son's mouth was flat and looked like he was about to cry. He always felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Hu's way of disciplining him. She always teased him about trivial matters, but did not urge him to make progress. He said, "The second son will not argue with him."
, and he is actually as fat as a pig. He himself doesn’t know how to control himself, why shouldn’t others talk about him?”
"That's right" Xiao Lao Shi muttered dissatisfiedly.
Concubine Hu was so angry that she slapped the table, "How dare you say that?"
As soon as he slapped the table, Xiao Lao Shi burst into tears. Emperor Ming Yuan rolled his eyes at Concubine Hu and said, "It's so good, you have to make him cry, right?"
Concubine Hu said sternly, "Your Majesty, when you are young princes, you were the prince and helped the Supreme Emperor manage the affairs of the court. You must have rarely taught him personally. You don't understand that the child may not have any ill intentions, but if the adults agree with him, he will think that
You are right, so you become more and more unscrupulous. You can't indulge him like this anymore, otherwise you will harm him sooner or later."
It is true that Emperor Ming Yuan did not personally teach his children. During the Taishang Dynasty, although there was no heirloom, disasters continued year after year. As the prince, he left the capital to deal with matters, always seven or eight times a year, and rarely stayed in the mansion.
Later, when the Supreme Emperor abdicated and he ascended the throne, he was even busier than when he was the Crown Prince, so naturally he could not spare any time to take care of the children.
This is also the reason why he often feels guilty towards his eldest son Yuwenjun.
He knew that Concubine Hu was cautious and was afraid of offending anyone. She was now living a cautious life, which was completely different from her original boldness. Children in the harem did not need to restrict their speech too much.
To give Concubine Hu a sense of security, he said, "I have decided to give the five cities that Bei Mo sent to me this time to Xiao Lao Shi and enfeoff them first. When he grows up, he can go there and become a king there.
You don’t have to be on tenterhooks all the time.” This chapter has been completed!
