Chapter 1102 The Thirteen Prefectures of Nanzhao
"Go and see your father first. Your father has been waiting for some time. There are many foreign envoys waiting for your father to receive you first."
As long as Li Chengqian doesn't recruit people to the East Palace casually, then his relationship with Li Xiang will be stable, and no one can take away his father, so Li Chengqian's burden is getting heavier and heavier now.
But Li Chengqian also felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him around him. Often when he wanted to do something out of the ordinary, someone would come over to remind him, even Changsun Wuji would come over and say a few words.
He can ignore others. After all, he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Although the crown prince relies on his son, there are also some people who rely on him. But if this sentence is passed down from Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian must be honest. Listen, who said that was his biological uncle?
The Tang Dynasty valued filial piety, but you dare to discount what your uncle says, so how can a person like you be a good person? Who will be willing to follow you in the future? Although people in power have all kinds of dark things, if they are put on the bright side, everyone should try their best to create a bright image of themselves.
"Brother Chen, go right away."
Li Ke, the king of Shu, put on a new python robe, which was similar to the original court robe of King Wu, except that there were some things missing from it. When he stood in the court, he had to sit a little further back than before. However, no one has been named as such yet. King Wu, so he can still stand in the same place.
"My son, Li Ge, comes to see my emperor. Long live, long live, long live!"
Even if he is the emperor's own son, he must abide by the proper etiquette. When he comes to the court, he must kneel three times and kowtow nine times to salute.
If he had stayed in Chang'an City, there wouldn't be so many complicated etiquette, but this guy went to the east for such a long time, and he didn't kowtow to his father during this time, so it makes sense to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times.
"Get up. It seems that you have exercised a lot during this period and you are all tanned. The sea is indeed different from the one inland."
Li Shimin looked more energetic than before, mainly because there were not so many bad things in the court, which made Li Shimin feel happy. In addition, the Dazheng Palace had been repaired recently. For an emperor, there was no There is nothing happier than having a new palace, and a huge summer resort is being built outside Chang'an City, so Li Shimin's mood is getting better day by day, and he is looking forward to going to the summer resort in the summer.
For an emperor, most of his wishes can usually be fulfilled, but he is different from the common people. What the common people pursue is nothing more than three meals a day, but what this emperor pursues is to be famous throughout the ages. No matter what Li Xiang does now, More than half of the credit belongs to Li Shimin. Why is he unhappy?
"My father's face looks better than when I left. I guess a lot of good things have happened in the Tang Dynasty during this period."
Hearing what his son said, Li Shimin was also in a very happy mood. He told Li Ke, King of Shu, one by one that the south had also been calmed down during this period. The Changsun brothers were very organized in the area and began to build a mansion.
It was originally thought that this action could be taken after two years. Before, it had to rely on King Nanzhao to rule. However, after a series of reforms and investigations, Changsun Chong felt that it could start early.
Of course, the main reason is that the centripetal force of the Tang Dynasty is relatively strong. If other countries occupy this area, the local people may continue to resist. However, the Tang Dynasty represents the advancement and progress of the world, so everyone yearns to join the Tang Dynasty. Tang.
According to what Li Xiang said before, the citizens of Nanzhao are treated the same as the citizens of Datang. This is different from other surrounding areas, mainly because it belongs to the absolute territory of Datang.
In Li Xiang's heart, the original territory in the 21st century is absolute territory. As long as you can sincerely submit to the Tang Dynasty, I will never treat you badly. The reason why it has not been implemented in Tubo and Tuyuhun in the north is because of this place. The people have not yet reformed.
After all, the people on horseback are relatively tough, but Nanzhao has always been similar to the Tang Dynasty, pursuing an agricultural policy, so this area can be transformed in advance. They are also the first among all the vassal states to join the Tang Dynasty. indivual.
During the time when King Li Ke of Shu went to Fusang, the Changsun brothers had divided the original Nanzhao territory into thirteen prefectures, and all the prefectures were currently under construction.
"You two cousins couldn't be said to be complete playboys when they were in Chang'an City, but they also gave your uncle a lot of headaches. But this time after arriving in Nanzhao Kingdom, they really found their use. You This eldest nephew is still very good at recognizing people."
Changsun Wuji was not Li Ke's biological uncle, but according to the tradition of this era, it didn't matter if he was called uncle. After all, he was the uncle of the country.
As for Chang Sun Chong and Chang Sun Ze, they didn't have much contact with Li Ke at all. At most, they just nodded to each other when they met on the street. Now that Li Shimin is talking about being so close, it can be regarded as paving the way for Li Ke.
Li Ke is going to Sichuan soon, and Sichuan is a communication channel between Chang'an and Nanzhao. If there is a bad relationship with the two brothers, then Li Ke's work will not be carried out. Li Shimin also wants to use this The conversation made Li Ke know the importance of these two brothers.
Li Shimin changed the King of Wu to the King of Shu. In addition to clearing some unfavorable obstacles for Li Xiang, he also killed two birds with one stone. He also hoped that the King of Shu could make some achievements in Sichuan and let everyone in the world see that he was more than just one. A grandson who knows how to do things, this son is not far behind.
People all over the world have always said that Li Xiang accounted for at least 70% of Li Shimin's current achievements. This is intolerable to Li Shimin. If Zhizhidao hadn't suppressed this social theory, it would have spread. Even more excessive.
But even so, Li Shimin also wanted to find a new way. He hoped that the Rat King would be able to make some achievements and then be able to fight back against this theory and let them see that my sons and grandsons still have some capable people.
"In this Fusang campaign, His Highness Taisun recognized people and assigned them well. Without the hard work of these generals, we would not have achieved what we have today. I hope the emperor will reward them."
The King of Shu, Li Ke, presented a memorial. After all, he was the coach of the Eastern Expedition, so there must be no shortage of people who should be rewarded.
