His mind turned around a few times, and he suddenly thought that after the Supreme Emperor had told him so much, had he made any plans?
He couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Father, what do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with it?"
The Supreme Emperor put down his pipe and looked at him, "I already had an idea yesterday. Five cities will be allocated to the prince's sons. In addition to the grandson, even the children in the womb will have a share. Send Huhou and the third son first.
Stationed there, they restrain each other, pull each other, and be careful to prevent one party from becoming dominant. The fourth child is still stationed in Jiangbei Mansion. As the eyes of the imperial court, he keeps an eye on these five cities and further guards our border lands. This is the most appropriate thing."
Emperor Ming Yuan was startled for a moment, "Father, I'm afraid this is not very appropriate. How can there be any reason for the prince to enfeoff the emperor's grandson first without enfeoffing other enfeoffments? And according to what you said, these five cities were enfeoffed to Xiao Laoshi, so
It makes sense, after all, if you send Lao San there, you can control the Marquis Hu, and the Marquis Hu will not be arrogant and domineering, so what's the problem?"
The Supreme Emperor immediately refuted, "This distinction is what I just said. If the title is given to the tenth prince, then the prince will regard himself as the master and will not take the third son seriously. And if they are both ministers, they will not give birth to this easily."
Ambition comes. Secondly, fifteen years later, the children grow up and go to the fiefdom. Each of them occupies a city. Brothers watch and help each other. They can discuss problems and work together to build an indestructible national gate for us in the Northern Tang Dynasty. The power of five people
Added together, it is greater than five, which is better than if you gave five cities to one person."
After hearing what the Supreme Emperor said, Emperor Ming Yuan was convinced. This consideration was actually more far-reaching than what he had planned.
However, the problem is that he has already given the decree to the tenth prince, how can the emperor change the decree overnight? This really loses the authority of the king.
After some careful consideration, in fact, the words of the Supreme Emperor can be overturned. Even if the young man does not go to the fiefdom in ten days, and keeps forcing the generals to garrison for decades, the people in those five cities will sooner or later submit to the Northern Tang Dynasty, and
The Emperor's suggestion of relocating citizens to intermarry with the locals and reproduce was also a good idea, so strictly speaking, it didn't matter who the enfeoffment was given to.
He has already issued an edict. Even though the Emperor has said so much, in the final analysis he is still unwilling to entrust these cities to Xiao Lao Shi. He is partial to the children of Lao Wu.
He felt really sorry for Xiao Lao Shi. Although he knew he shouldn't say this, he couldn't help but said: "Father, Xiao Lao Shi is also your grandson."
"Your Majesty!" Chu Shoufu suddenly raised his head and gave him an encouraging look.
