The sixth year of Wude, on the eighth day of March.

Late at night, Li Shimin, who was about to ascend the throne tomorrow, was not sleepy yet. In the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, Li Shimin was sitting on the imperial bed, but was a little dazed.

Some are absent-minded.

"His Majesty!"

Li Chao called twice before Li Shimin realized.

"Oh, what did you just say to Orphan?"

Li Chao bowed, "I have now changed your name to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty should also change his words to call me. Tomorrow, Your Majesty will ascend the throne, but Your Majesty seems to have something to do?"

Li Shimin patted the armrest of the imperial bed with his hand, "Yes, this day is really coming, and I feel a little confused."

"Your Majesty will get used to it in the future. The thousands of miles of land have been picked on his shoulders, just like the crown garment, carrying the sun and the moon on his shoulders!"

"I am conquering the world immediately, but now I cannot govern the world immediately. These days, I have come into contact with political affairs, officials and officials, and I have been in charge of all kinds of things every day. I truly feel the difference between governing the world and conquering the world."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much. There are civil and military ministers, and the prisons of the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples. All Your Majesty needs to do is to choose the prime minister and lead the general guideline, and then the three provinces, six ministries and six ministries will take their own duties, and everything will go."

"Wen Yuan, today the Zhengshi Hall discusses affairs, and several priests have many objections to the matter of sending troops to Lingwu."

Li Chao listened quietly.

Li Shimin continued, "Pei Ji and Feng Lun also participated in the discussion today. Feng Lun not only opposed the dispatch of Lingwu troops at this time, but also proposed to move the capital."

Moving the capital is nothing new. In fact, after the Turkic people marched south last year, the court has been discussing the moving capital.

Finally, they even discussed in the Political Affairs Hall several times, and an important plan had almost been formed. The emperor and the prime minister sent many officials to various places to choose the address of Xindu, and finally selected the Xiang Deng area in Shannan.

Xiang Deng is the Nanyang Basin in later generations.

It can be said that it was actually a painstaking effort to choose Xiang Deng without choosing Luoyang. In the fifth year of Wude, Luoyang had just won the next year. The entire Central Plains region was the most fierce place at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The early bandits and soldiers repeatedly looted. Later, Li Mi, Yu Wenhua, Wang Shichong and others fought repeatedly, almost into ruins, nine out of ten rooms and thousands of miles of naked land.

Moreover, in terms of defensive situation, Luoyang is far inferior to Chang'an, and also, it is not as good as Xiang Deng's situation.

Another point is that Xiang Deng is located in Luoyang and south of Chang'an, and is also at the center of the world. It also has an excellent geographical situation and the fertile plain fields moved the capital to Xiang Deng, which will keep the center of the court away from the Turks and be safer, and avoid the dangerous situation where the Turks can break into the capital at any time.

Another important reason for moving the capital is that the productivity of Chang'an area has been greatly reduced and it is difficult to be self-sufficient in food. In addition, since the Western Wei Dynasty established the capital of Guanzhong, most of the fields on the Guanzhong Plain have become wealthy families. There are many people in Guanzhong, but the court does not receive much tax and there is no land to be equal.

This has led to the court's embarrassment.

But when the capital was moved to Xiang Deng, there was enough land there, and the shortage was the population. The imperial court could immigrate to Xiang Deng, and all the land was granted. At the same time, it would be very convenient to transport taxes, money and grain from Henan, Jianghan, even the Jianghuai, southeast and other places to Xindu. There would be no trouble of transporting money and grain to Beijing without any trouble.

It can be said that there is no problem in moving the capital in Xiang and Deng areas and building a new capital.

However, under the circumstances at this time, it is suspected that the capital was afraid of the enemy's escape. Once the capital was moved from Chang'an to the Xiang Deng area, most of the heavy troops stationed in Guanzhong would be moved to Shannan. This would weaken the defenses in Guanzhong, which would become a weakness and a big hole.

If there was no threat from the Turks, Li Chao also agreed to move the capital, and it would be acceptable whether it was to move Luoyang or Xiang Deng. Compared with the embarrassment in Guanzhong, moving the capital is much better.

But at this moment, the Turks were standing outside the northwest gate of Guanzhong. The imperial court moved the capital at this time, so that was not the case.

At this time, moving the capital is not just moving the capital, it is a war-avoiding faction.

And Li Chao is a firm pro-war faction.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has hit our throats with a knife. At this time, we are still thinking about turning around and moving. This will not help, but will only make us cowardly. If we move the capital, Guanzhong's defense will be weaker and Guanzhong will be more difficult to defend against the Turks. Once the Turks enter the Guanzhong Plain, it will be unsafe to build the new capital in Xiang Deng at that time. Your Majesty, the Great Wall cannot stop the Turks, and it is even more impossible to move the capital. If we move the capital, we have to wait until we defeat the Turks. Now, the emperor should guard the gate!"

"Wen Yuan, I have another important task to you."

"Tomorrow you will be responsible for going to Tai Chi Palace, please come to the East Palace!"

Li Shimin's throne ceremony was not held in Tai Chi Palace, but in the East Palace. This was Li Shimin's insistence. In one day, Li Yuan was Li Yuan's Tai Chi Palace. He would ascend the throne in the East Palace and would also govern the world in the East Palace in the future.

However, Li Shimin can succeed to the throne in the Eastern Palace, but tomorrow's ceremony must be attended by Emperor and Jiancheng.

"I understand."

March 9th.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Yuan was already dressed solemnly, but he did not wear a yellow robe today.

Li Yuan slowly peeled off a tea egg and ate it slowly with porridge. Pei Ji and Feng Lun stood aside, quietly waiting for the emperor.

After Li Yuan finished eating two tea eggs and a bowl of porridge, Pei Ji asked, "Are your majesty ready to go?"

Li Yuan wiped the corner of his mouth with a cloth towel, "I didn't say I wanted to go."

"Your Majesty won't go today?"

Li Yuan threw the cloth towel that had been wiped over his mouth on the table and said in a bad tone, "I didn't say I couldn't go either."

"this"

"I haven't decided yet."

Li Yuan picked up another tea egg and continued to peel it.

Li Chao also came to Tai Chi Palace today in a solemn crown and uniform.

"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao is looking for a meeting outside."

Li Yuan's hand paused for a moment when peeling the tea eggs, and then he threw the half-peeled tea egg back into the bowl.

"Li San."

"not see!"

Li Yuan said hatefully that he had not forgotten the scene of Li Chao taking Yuchi Gong and others into Tai Chi Palace and surrounding him by the sea pool. He thought he was very good at treating Li Chao, but this person was a traitor.

After a moment.

Li Chao strode over.

Li Yuan's face became more and more ugly, but at the heaviest it was just a cold snorting. That day, Li Chao was able to lead his people into his palace. Today, the palace could not stop Li Chao's footsteps.

Li Chao came in and bowed to Li Yuan.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, please come to the ceremony and accept the congratulations from the ministers in the court!"

Li Yuan glared at Li Chao angrily, "Congratulations? Congratulations? Congratulations on me to become the Supreme Emperor? Let's avoid it!"

Li Chao took a step forward, "Today is an important day, and Your Majesty deserves congratulations from all parties!"

Li Yuan turned his head.

"Your Majesty, the prince, please go!" Li Chao's tone a little heavier.

Li Yuan turned around and looked at Li Chao, "I saw you wrong!"

"Please move your horse!"

"I was not feeling well today and could not attend the ceremony." Li Yuan also became angry.

Faced with Li Yuan's discooperation, Li Chao frowned.

But Li Yuan must appear in today's throne ceremony. Not only did Li Yuan have to go, but Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also had to go, and Li Yuan's little princes also had to go, and the Li family's royal family and the imperial ministers must not be left behind.

If Li Yuan did not go, this ceremony would be very ugly.

"Your Majesty, since you have decided to abdicate, why do you have to make things difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince in the last step?"

"Is it that I am making things difficult for the prince?"

"Does Your Majesty hope that His Highness, the Crown Prince, will come to greet His Majesty in person?"

Li Yuan stopped and stood there and walked, nor did he not leave.

Pei Ji and Feng Lun glanced at Li Chao and went forward to persuade Li Yuan.

Li Yuan turned around and walked to Li Chao with an ugly face.

"Let's go, go to the East Palace!"

Eastern Palace, Xiande Hall.

When Li Yuan arrived, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Li Shimin ascended the throne as Emperor of the Tang Dynasty under the worship of his ministers.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji kneeled down to worship the new emperor.

Li Shimin issued an edict, conferring Li Jian as the Marquis of Hainan, conferring Li Yuanji as the Marquis of Hailing, and respecting Li Yuan as the Emperor.

The second edict after Li Shimin ascended the throne was to formally issue the fiefs of the nobles. Whether it was the new nobles or the old nobles, their Yongye fields were changed to the frontier, and the enfeoffers of the real nobles were also changed to the honorary fields. In order to appease the dissatisfaction of these old nobles, Li Shimin promoted most of these nobles, changed many false seals to real seals, and the enfeoffers of the real seals were also added. Yongye fields were doubled, and the honorary fields were rewarded.

What is most surprising is that Li Shimin established 36 states on the frontier of the Tang Dynasty at one time. These states were newly established states. Li Shimin awarded 36 heroes of Xuanwumen at one time the title of the thirty-six states as the title of governors of these thirty-six states.

He was in harmony with the country, inherited his title for generations, and his descendants were always governors for generations.

It is said that it is a conferred title to a conferred governor, but it is actually equivalent to a disguised vassal state. These states are actually not large because they are all set up on the border and many places are still inhabited by barbarians. Now the emperor directly designated thirty-six states and then awarded the thirty-six meritorious officials who have made the greatest contribution to the title of hereditary governor.

Ping the central government of the vassal state and intimidate the local area.

As the chief minister of Xuanwu Sect, Li Chao was naturally one of these 36 conferred governors.

Li Chao's Fengzhou is in Fengzhou, which is the back of the Dongtu in Hetao, which is located in the Bayannur Plain between Bayangaole and Xishanzui in later generations.

Since the Han Dynasty, Fengzhou has been a strategic location.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Fengzhou was lost and it was not yet recovered until now.

Li Shimin directly conferred the territory on the map of Fengzhou to Li Chao, which is unprecedented. During the Sui Dynasty, Fengzhou had three counties, Jiuyuan, Yongfeng and Feng'an, and there were 1,900 households.

Moreover, from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, Fengzhou was one of the four major exile places in ancient times.

Fengzhou is considered to be larger and better than the fiefs of other heroes, but after all, it is still in the hands of the Turks. But looking at the fiefs of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Qin Shubao are actually similar.

Basically, Fengzhou, which had thirty-six heroes, was similar to Li Chao, and was outside the actual control line of the Tang Dynasty today, and was also a place that belonged to the Central Plains in history, such as the Hetao Plain, western Liaoning, Annan, and Western Regions.

Li Chao couldn't help but admire Li Shimin very much and created a thirty-sixth generation conferred a title of governor, but in fact, Li Shimin didn't take out any real money or silver.

Whether you can really get these Fengzhous will have to wait until the imperial court recovers those places.

It is interesting to be named the governor of the world, not called the vassal state. Li Chao was ignorant of this before. Judging from Changsun Wuji and the others' surprise, he probably didn't know it. Li Shimin probably got inspiration for the exchange of border wastelands in the case of enfeoffment, and then he used this trick.

Draw a big cake for the heroes in the void, so that everyone can support the imperial court to exchange their bans and Yongye fields to the border.

This game is beautifully played!
