Chapter 537 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Each Major Protectorate

Among the several Protectorate Palaces in the imperial court, the Beiting Protectorate Palace has the largest jurisdiction, but in terms of wealth, it is probably the lowest.

In addition, there is the issue of security. The herdsmen here do not obey the government's discipline. This is already a problem left over from history. It cannot be said that this problem will not disappear after the Tang Dynasty. In the past, nomadic people went south, and it was always the Central Plains. The most troublesome thing for the dynasty, so whoever is sent to manage this place will be really unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Some ministers had nothing to do, so they ranked the names of the governor's offices outside. The best one was naturally Tuyuhun. It was close to the economic hinterland of the Tang Dynasty and not far from Chang'an City. The situation on the grassland was still good. It's pretty good, and the annual income is around middling.

The second is Goguryeo. The land here is also very good. The most important thing is the large population. If you are sent here to be a guard, your life will be very comfortable.

The worst is the cold zone in the north. The people are disobedient and the weather is extremely bitter. Anyone who is sent here will have to endure hardship.

"Li Jue..."

When Li Shimin named this name for the first time in the court, the expressions of many ministers around him suddenly changed, including Fang Xuanling, who also opened his eyes at this moment. His son was still in Goguryeo, and he also followed him this time. Li Xiang went on an expedition. Although he was not one of Li Xiang's people, he was still concerned about Li Xiang's every move.

The prince Li Chengqian is also more thoughtful. After hearing his father's words, he immediately knew that a new crisis was coming. The old emperor really didn't worry about it for a day. The eldest grandson just solved such a big danger for you, so you can The little grandson was sent over to trouble him.

The relationship between Li Chengqian's eldest son and his legitimate son is not very good. When Li Xiang was just reborn, his legitimate son Li Jue was still a child and was not very clear about many things. But now as he grows older, coupled with Through the words and deeds of some people around him, this kid also knew what was going on with his mother.

Li Chengqian has tried several times to see what this kid is thinking, but the people in the old Li family have taken advantage of them. Even though this kid is only in his teens now, his answers are flawless, but Li Chengqian had also observed that this boy should remember that hatred.

When she was young, her mother was kicked out of the East Palace and announced to the public that she had been sentenced to death. In fact, she was taking care of Hou Junji's illegitimate son. The second son of the East Palace also sent people out to inquire, but unfortunately there was no news at all.

Who doesn't miss his mother? So although this kid looks good, he may actually have other thoughts in his heart, or he may blame all this on Li Xiang. It’s just because Li Xiang is too powerful now, so he doesn’t dare to reveal it. .

Li Chengqian did not want his brothers to be enemies. According to his idea, everything in the East Palace was earned by Li Xiang, so Li Xiang would try his best to divide the cake. Now Li Shimin keeps giving Li Xiang eye drops in order to regain his trust. With the power in Li Xiang's hands, all his descendants have become pawns in Li Shimin's hands. Even if he succeeds in the end, the East Palace will be in pieces.

"To inform my father, Jue'er is too young and needs to study more in Chang'an City. If he is sent to the north, what if..."

Li Chengqian knew that he couldn't stop him, but he still hoped to work hard. If the two sons fought with each other, the most painful thing would be him as the father. The most important thing is that he understands Li Xiang. Regardless of whether the two of them are Half-brothers, but if the second child affects the eldest brother, Li Xiang will kill him without hesitation.

How can a father not know the talents of his two sons? Li Xiang's talent does not need to be proven to anyone. Whether it is the ministers of the court or the common people, they all know Li Xiang's talent. The younger son just has some brains. If he wants to compete with Li Xiang, he will die many times. Who doesn't want his son to live?

"As a descendant of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, of course he has to share the worries of the imperial court. Li Xiang seemed to have already known how to pacify Goguryeo when he was only that old. Now he leads the army to conquer the north and south, and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This is his biological brother, and I believe his talents are not bad, not to mention that there are not many herdsmen within the jurisdiction of the Beiting Protectorate..."

Now that Li Shimin had made up his mind, he couldn't let Li Chengqian hold him back with just a few words.

Fang Xuanling and others also felt that it was inappropriate, but they could not find a reason to refuse. Li Shimin was the king of a country and wanted to train his grandson. It would work wherever he went. If other people If you stop me, what kind of peace of mind do you have?

"My grandson accepts the order."

While everyone was hesitating, the Second Young Master from the East Palace had already knelt down to receive the imperial edict. Everyone's eyes showed surprise again. It seemed that it was another brotherly fight. They all saw from this second Young Master's eyes Seeing the blazing enthusiasm, the people of Lao Li's family are very eager for power.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then moved his fingers slightly. Wang De announced his resignation from the side. Even if there are still some people who have something to do, Li Shimin doesn't want to deal with it now. I have finished the most important thing. He now wants to go back to the harem and have a good rest. As for other matters from the past, it won't be too late to do it tomorrow.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has ordered you to stay in the palace for meals."

Li Chengqian wanted to educate his second son, but before he could say this, Wang De had already arrived next to Li Jue.

Li Chengqian is Li Shimin's son. What does he want to do? Li Shimin calculated everything clearly, so now he must give his grandson a little more strength. If he is fooled by Li Chengqian's few words, all the efforts he made just now will be in vain. With the support of his grandfather who is the emperor, then this The boy dares to do anything.

Li Chengqian looked at his youngest son with a complicated expression. At this moment, this boy followed Wang De to the harem. Although he was a disciple of the prince, because he was the grandson of Hou Junji, few people mentioned it in the court. Hou Junji had already He was labeled as a traitor. If anyone brought such a person up, wouldn't that be causing trouble for the emperor?

But now this matter was brought up by the emperor himself. Even if they wanted to stop it, the emperor did not give them a chance. What's more, if the whole world is not the royal land, and the shore of the land is not the royal ministers, who does the emperor want to promote? Isn’t it just a matter of one sentence?
