Pei Zeng, who was in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, hurried to meet Yi Feng and told him that after the emperor named Yang Liang the King of Sunan, he also granted four royal families a feudal southern border.

"The emperor named King Cai Yang Zhiji as the King of Yongchang, King Teng Yang Lun as the King of Tengyue, King Dao Yang Jing as the King of Shunning, and King Wei Yang Ji as the King of Pu'er. The four kings were all built in the area south of Nanning Prefecture." When Pei Zeng reported, he kept shaking his head, because when he first received this information, he had not found the locations of these four fiefs on the map. Later, he finally understood that these four newly established counties had not had such a county name at all. The fiefs of these four countries are now not within the boundary of the Sui Dynasty. The southwest boundary of the Sui Dynasty was bounded by Nanning Prefecture, and even most of the states in Nanning Prefecture belonged to the actual barbarian natives. The control area was controlled. Although the imperial court established prefectures and counties, it was almost the same as the control. The four newly enfeoffed countries were still south of Nanning, and the map there was a map of the Pu tribe. It belonged to the Han Dynasty. Later, the Xian Kingdom was attached to the State of Xian during the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty established the six counties originally belonged to Yizhou and merged them to establish Yongchang County. After the establishment, Yongchang County was ruled by several dynasties in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Shu Han, Jin, Song, Qi and Liang Dynasty. This territory was lost during the Southern Chen Dynasty. Yongchang County was re-established in the Zhou and Sui Dynasty, but in fact it had moved eastward. It turned out that the old lands such as the Shu Han were occupied by the natives of the Pu tribe.

Yi Feng7∝ looked carefully at the four counties and states of Yongchang, Tengyue, Shunning and Pu'er added to the large blank area on the map. It took a long time to figure out that they could barely match the geographical location of the later generations in their impressions. It was understood that the four newly enthroned princes and counties of Yang Jian should be equivalent to the western part of Yunnan Province in China in the later generations and may also include northern Myanmar. However, as Pei Zeng said, these four counties and states are truly expanding their territory.

Speaking of the four kings of Cai Teng and Daowei, they were all Yang Jian’s serious nephews and sons of four brothers. He even surrendered these four princes to princes. He also sent feudalism to the distant southern border. Even the names of the four counties and states were unprecedented, and their vassal states were completely built outside the existing borders.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is so capable of expanding territory. With one finger on the map, the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty immediately expanded southward to four counties." Pei Zeng couldn't help but smiled at Yi Feng.

Yi Feng couldn't help but smile. Yang Jian was really a good method. Before, Yang Liang was feudalized by Nanyue, and he thought this was just a means by Yang Jian to preserve his son, but he didn't expect that Yang Lianggang was feudal, and Yang Jian enfeoffed four more vassal states in a blink of an eye. If Yang Liang was granted to Huanzhou in Nanyue and established the Rinan Kingdom, it was always a bit reliable. After all, Rinan County was founded in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and Huanzhou was also controlled by the Sui Dynasty. After all, there was still a population of 10,000 households. But the four countries of Yongchang were a bit unreliable. They went abroad directly. Although the land of Yongchang was originally Yongchang County and was established since the Han Dynasty, they had lost control of this land since the Chen Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties. And Yi Feng still remembered very clearly that the natives on this land could It is very powerful. It was called Pu tribe in the Sui Dynasty, but it was called Zhao in the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Six Divines emerged, and finally the Nanzhao Kingdom was even established. The Tang army was repeatedly beaten and the Tang army was bruised and swollen. The Nanzhao Kingdom was inherited from the thirteenth generation. After nearly two hundred years, it almost lived and perished with the Tang Dynasty. Yang Jian conferred the four kings in this area. Did he have a plan to confer the four kings to the far southern border to avoid threatening the imperial power. At the same time, a royal family established the country in the southern border, which may not be able to stabilize the border and suppress these Pu tribe natives, and to restore the old land of Yongchang County since the Han Dynasty. Although Yongchang County was remote, it was the second largest county in the Han Dynasty at that time, and had a population of more than 500,000. If the four feudal countries could establish a stable foundation in the southern border, it would be of great benefit to the court.

"It seems that the emperor is really planning to implement the feudal system." Yi Feng said while taking a picture of the map.

"This is a good thing." Pei Zeng was optimistic. "The emperor's movement was very fast, which also shows that he was determined to be very determined. He has been established for nearly twenty years. When he is old, the emperor finally decided to make a feudal king. In my opinion, this is great news. It seems that the emperor is no longer swaying about the inheritance system. He has decided that the prince is the heir and will not hesitate anymore. The feudal kings are the best way to stabilize the position of the prince. The other royal families that can threaten the position of the prince are feudal frontiers. The next step is to abolish the old example of the prince's position, step by step, and finally cut off the military power of the royal family, and then send them out of the capital to the vassal state, which will no longer affect the prince's acceptance of the throne."

"Maybe the emperor has decided to abolish the crown prince and choose King Jin as the new crown prince. Isn't the feudal kings just preparing to depose and establish Guang?" Yi Feng was not as optimistic as Pei Zeng. Things have not reached that point. The emperor's feudal system is indeed of great benefit to the inheritance of the crown prince, but it is too early for whoever is the crown prince, who can finally obtain the inheritance rights. However, Yi Feng still agrees with the feudal system, especially the current practice of sealing the royal family to a remote border, and the southern border, not the northern border, and he does support it. Looking at the royal family system of various dynasties, Qin unified the world, but the royal family did not have much privileges. The Han unified the world and enfeoffed the descendants of the clan, but the vassal states had too great power, and the war between the emperor and the princes would inevitably lead to a war of slashing the vassals. After the Han Dynasty destroyed, Cao Wei also implemented the royal family's family's family's family.

The feudal system was extremely strict with the royal family. The royal family and the vassal states were very small, and the power of the vassal states was controlled by the officials sent by the court. The princes were just a void and powerless decoration. The court often moved the princes to enfeoffment, which made the princes have no real power at all. When the Sima family usurped the power of Cao Wei, the princes could not help at all. After the Sima family usurped the imperial power of Cao Wei, they learned from the lessons of the Cao family and began to enfeoff the royal family. At the same time, they gave the royal family great power. Not only did they have the great captivity, but they also had the right to command soldiers and civilians, and they could even hold important positions in the central and local governments. This excessive indulgence and decentralization led to the imbalance of power. The rebellion of the Eight Kings led to the Sima family of the Western Jin Dynasty who eventually lost control of the world, and the relocation of the Hu people in the internal period, leading to the darkest era of the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms.

In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was no real feudalism like the Han and Jin Dynasties.

After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, although the royal family was highly valued, they were commanding troops outside, serving as generals, governors, and other positions, they had to serve as prime ministers, generals, and ministers. However, they had never been granted the vassal states.

But the kings commanded the six general administrations, each commanded dozens of prefectures, and led tens of thousands of troops, which also posed a serious hidden danger. Now Yang Jian is the founding emperor, and the general administrations are all his princes and grandchildren. But once Yang Jian passed away, can the princes and grandchildren who have heavy troops still follow the new emperor who succeeded to the throne? After two grandson assassinations, Yi Feng believed that Yang Jian must have seen through the prosecution. Before he died, Yang Liang dared to assassinate, and even dispatched troops to intercept the princes and grandchildren. If he died, those princes who were covetous of the throne had heavy troops in their hands, how could they be willing?

Yang Liang was demoted to King of Sunan and was a feudal Nanyue. This was just a reason and an opportunity.

After Yang Liang was enfeoffed by the Southern Kingdom, Yang Jian immediately enfeoffed the sons of the four brothers to the southern border. Yi Feng believed that this was just the beginning, and the next one would definitely be the other royal families who would be divided into feudal countries. In the end, it would be the emperor's turn to be the emperor's turn to be the emperor. However, he expected that except for Yang Liang who was assassinated by the emperor to feudalize the Southern Kingdom, other princes might have to wait until the Northern Expedition ended, and some royal grandsons might be feudal in advance. But in the end, the princes and grandsons would definitely be driven away from the capital like other royal families.

The emperor was so scheming when feudal southern borders. It was difficult to rise in places like southern borders. One day, it was even more difficult to rebel with strong troops. This southern border is not Jiangnan, but the distant southern Lingnan. There are indigenous barbarians everywhere, and the mountains and rivers are at a loss. It would be great if the princes could deal with these indigenous people well.

"If the emperor makes Yang Guang the new crown prince then, according to the emperor's current behavior, I will probably be granted the title of Southern Xinjiang to be a king of Piao or a king of Zhanpo. Well, I have to prepare early." Yi Feng thought to himself that he would never want to be the King of Jinshajiang or Lancangjiang, or the King of Ruilijiang. Should I take a risk and find an opportunity to kill Yang Guang? After all, Yang Guang is very threatening now. Once he becomes the crown prince, he will never be the crown prince's son. Or, he will kill Yang Yong himself, so that his crown prince will be the real crown prince. However, if Yang Yong dies, it is difficult to guarantee that Yang Guang will not become the new crown prince. Or kill them together?

Yi Feng shook his head and smiled. It was too crazy to throw this idea behind his mind. The risk was too great and it was unpaid.

After all, it is better to manage your own strength well and have enough strength. When it really takes time to go crazy, you will be prepared for any trouble.

Damn, but the old thief Gao Yang wants to fight against the Turks himself, and he has bad intentions.

"Bo Pei, how do you think we have a peace talk with the Turks?"

"Peace talk?" Pei Zengren was stunned, unable to keep up with Yi Feng's rhythm at all.

"The Turks are coming in a fierce manner. Although we are determined by the city, we are not afraid of the Turks breaking the city, but even if we defend the city and fight, so many Turks attack hard, we will have to suffer great casualties in the end. I think we will send envoys to negotiate with the Turks to make peace, and many women of gold and silk will let them retreat." Yi Feng pinched his chin and narrowed his eyes.
