Li Shimin woke up in the middle of the night. Recently, he has had a short sleep and he goes to bed very late every day. He is very tired, but he always can't sleep well. He wakes up after two hours of sleep and can no longer sleep.

Since he woke up, just get up. He didn't like lying in bed while awake. It was a waste of time. He still had too many things to accumulate there waiting to deal with.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Outside the window, the snowflakes were flying one by one, floating and splashing. Snowflakes like goose feathers fell on the roof, on the treetops, on the ground, and soon disappeared.

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest.

There have been several snowfalls at the end of the year, which is a good sign and will definitely have good weather next year.

He came to the next door of the bedroom, where there was a bathroom with hot and cold water all day, a bath, a toilet, and a bathroom, which was very convenient. These things were originally made by Li Chao for his home, but now, from the palace to the nobles, and even many ordinary landlords and middle-class homes, they also built bathrooms at home, which greatly facilitated their daily life.

The eunuch had already lit the lights in the bathroom and smoked them with fragrance, so that the room would not have any odor and a scent.

There is a large bronze mirror on the wall in front of the toilet table, which is polished very smoothly.

He stood there, looking at himself in the mirror, and stared at him for a while.

Then, he turned on the cold water, not the hot water. There were both hot water and cold water in the house. When he woke up in the morning, no matter how cold the weather was, Li Shimin must wash his cold water face first, so that he could be more awake.

The cold water splashed on his face, which was cold and harsh, but it immediately made him wake up a lot, and everything about yesterday immediately came back to his mind.

He remembered Li Chao's ten thousand words memorial and asked for the title of princes.

After washing up, the palace maids have ironed the clothes they want to wear today.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand, and several palace maids worked together skillfully to dress the emperor. Li Shimin also cooperated tacitly, and then continued to think of Li Chao's memorial in his mind.

He had already had some ideas about the issue of ceasing the ceasing. At first, he wanted to get a ceasing governor, but the suggestions Li Chao later told him made him feel that ceasing the ceasing governor was not a good idea. Prefectures and counties directly under the imperial court must be separated from the fiefs of the princes and cannot be mixed together, especially the ceasings cannot be divided into the old borders of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Just like the Han Dynasty did not divide the feudal state in Guanzhong before, the Han Dynasty implemented the Guanzhong system, and the Tang Dynasty should implement the Zhongdi system, and could only use the four border areas as fiefs of the princes. In this way, since the core area of ​​the court was not affected, the true intention of the court's feudal state could be realized, the Tang Dynasty could be guarded.

But Li Shimin was still a little hesitant about the matter of cexing.

In history, the franchise was basically divided into the royal family, and the meritorious officials of other surnames were divided into very few, so he also needed to be very cautious.

What he was most worried about was that the feudal division would give the other surnames the power of separatist forces to fight against each other.

However, Li Chao's memorial yesterday was written in more than ten thousand words, and he wrote very detailedly in all aspects, covered in all aspects, and considered well. He set many rules in advance so that he could prevent it before it happened.

There are strict restrictions on the size of the fiefs of the princes and the number of people, and they are not completely vassal territories. These territories do not have the power of taxation, diplomacy, military, etc., and the princes have no right to legislate, establish taxation, conscription, etc.

The taxes on the territory are collected by the court by the tax officials, and the taxes collected are rewarded to the princes in a certain proportion. The soldiers on the territory are also summoned and dispatched by the court and waited for the imperial decree. The princes can have a certain number of guards according to their level, but the number is strictly limited.

As long as you control it well, you will not be too big, and it will be even more difficult to become a separatist prince with self-respecting troops, let alone one day, you will attack the court in turn.

Although there are many limits on the territories of such princes, it is relatively beneficial to the princes.

After putting on the clothes, the palace people stepped down, and Li Shimin went to the restaurant.

The imperial chefs have already prepared breakfast and the people who tried the meal have paid.

The restaurant is very bright, with large windows, and floor heating is installed. The snow is floating outside the window, but the room is very warm. Today's breakfast has been set on the table, seafood porridge, milk and Codonopsis and Chicken Soup, as well as a plate of cold kelp and vegetarian fried cabbage.

Very simple.

He pulled open the chair and sat down, drinking milk while thinking about the matter of enfeoffment. Li Chao's memorial was very detailed and also talked about Li Shimin's heart everywhere.

It is beneficial to enfeoff the border. It can not only reward the heroes, but also guide these powerful and noble ministers of the Tang Dynasty to explore the borders, and reduce problems such as land annexation in the Central Plains.

But he also knew that it was not easy to go out at this step, and there was no turning back. This was not a vassal state of the title of the World. The title of the World was just a nice name, but this title of the title of the land was to be truly enfeoffed, not just a reward for land, but a vassal state of the vassal state of the vassal state.

Even if it is restricted, it is still amazing.

I cannot only consider myself in front of me, but also have to think about the long-term of the Tang Dynasty. The current subscription system should lay the foundation for the Tang Dynasty.

After drinking a cup of milk, he felt much more comfortable in his stomach. Then he started to pick up the porridge bowl and ate it with side dishes. Li Shimin ate very quickly, and even for breakfast, he had no thoughts of slowness.

After a while, he was full and ate and drank several side dishes and soup. The portion was according to his habits. Li Shimin did not like to waste, so he forbidden to make more food in the imperial kitchen.

The eunuch Wang watched the emperor eat all the breakfast again, and his face was full of smiles. After the emperor finished his breakfast, it means that the emperor was in a good mood today and in good health.

"Your Majesty, Changsun Prime Minister and Tang Changshi have already returned."

"They have arrived in Dengzhou?" Li Shimin asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, they are back to Xiangyang."

Li Shimin is now inspecting Hanjing. Only one imperial city in Hanjing has been initially built. Li Shimin now lives in Hanjing Imperial Palace, but it will take at least a few years before it can be put into use in the new capital.

"Well, then I will return to Xiangyang today. I have also seen it in Xinjing. It is very good everywhere. I am very satisfied."

"Is Li Chao still outside the border?" Li Shimin asked again.

The Eunuch Wang reported to the emperor last night about Li Chao's whereabouts. Li Chao was still in Hetao yesterday. But he knew what the emperor meant, and asked about a more specific situation.

So he smiled and said, "Suce Li is currently traveling from Dingxiang to Fengzhou, accompanied by General Su Lie and Princess Pingyang, and there are five thousand light cavalry accompanying him."

"Li Chao will go to his fiefdom again, right?"

"Li Xiang's itinerary does have this. After arriving in Fengzhou, he will go out for a walk and then return to Xiangyang to participate in the New Year's Day dynasty."
