The court's court's barbarians in the southwest, or Xiqi and Mohe, is essentially different, just like the upcoming battle of war against Phu, the court wants to capture land, conquer the barbarians, turn these lands into the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, and rule for a long time.

Anyway, they have their own thoughts.

Qin Lang's letter to the court was also very surprised, but Emperor Li Yin was very happy. After all, although Qin Lang had left the court for more than ten years, he still had a very high reputation in the court and the country. It was naturally a good thing that he expressed such support for the conquest of the Piao Kingdom.

Therefore, Emperor Li Yin also knew the elegance and said, and directly gave Qin Lang an order, and divided a large area of ​​the Qin family's four shopping malls to the Qin family and granted it the territory of the Qin family. Anyway, Qin Lang had many sons, so he chose four sons, each of whom gave one, and then a title.

With a big stroke, the edict enclosed 50,000 mu of land for each of the four territories of the Qin family, forming 200,000 mu. Compared with the huge Piao Kingdom territory of three, four, four, and four, and two thousand miles east and west, 200,000 mu of land is not worth mentioning, and 50,000 mu of land is just a large village or a small town.

It is just a square plot with a side length of more than ten miles.

In fact, the emperor's 50,000 mu was calculated based on a radius of ten miles. The 50,000 mu was slightly larger than the square with a side length of ten miles.

Li Yin was actually quite generous in this regard. In recent years, the Tang army conquered the Three Hans, recovered Liaodong, and attacked Xiqi and Mohe. The court took out a lot of land to the soldiers who made meritorious deeds as a lord, not only gave Yongye fields, but also many hereditary territorial fiefs.

The emperor not only generously gave the Qin family four fiefs of 200,000 mu, but also issued an edict to all the merchants and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, giving the Tang Dynasty merchant ships the concession to freely plunder the merchant ships of the Piao Kingdom and the territory of the Piao Kingdom. Many of the robberies were rewarded and awarded medals.

You should know that the honors of the Tang Dynasty are very valuable now, not at that time in Zhenguan. For a period of time, the honors of the Zhenguan were not very valuable. Many second-generation meritorious generations could inherit the honors of their fathers and ancestors. Some of the honors had no military merits, and they were awarded honors because they were royal relatives, and even the actual benefits of honors were greatly reduced.

Li Yin reformed the lord system and integrated the real title with military merits. All real titles must first obtain military merits, twelve turnovers of military merits, and twelve turns of merits. After the twelve turns to the top of the Shangzhu Kingdom, he can be promoted to a first-level title every two turns of military merits, starting with the founding county men.

The county is a county, a county, a county, a county, a county, a county, a total of six levels, and a two-level meritorious service is one title, which requires twelve transfers.

Therefore, today's military merits are constantly accumulated. As long as you earn 24 turnovers of military merit, you can be promoted from an ordinary civilian to a real Duke.

Of course, it is becoming increasingly difficult to accumulate military merits above the Pillars, and more and more achievements are required. But after all, this is clearly placed there, and there is a detailed standard condition.

As long as everyone strives for it, there is still a chance.

What's more, there are rewards when there are honors. There will be Yongye honor fields and Xuns who will be granted. These are all for descendants. Regardless of what the emperor has taken, the territory of the newly conquered Liaodong, the court, Haidong, the Nanman and other places, but after all, it is a real real honor territory and Yongye honor fields.

Therefore, after the prosperous Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty's military and imperial guards not only did not weaken at all, but instead became stronger.

It's because the power is sufficient.

Nowadays, in the South China Sea, there are many nobles and powerful businessmen who open shopping malls everywhere and engage in colonial strongholds like the Qin family. Some of them directly obtained the title of the overseas territory from the court, while others did not report to the court for the title, so that they could not be regulated and no taxes were paid to the court.

But at sea, the Tang ships are indeed very powerful. A franchise plundering order, coupled with the promise of awarding a medal, will definitely arouse the excitement of countless Tang ships, which can add a powerful force to attack the Piao Kingdom at sea for nothing.

Emperor Kaiyuan wanted to build a large territory for the Tang Dynasty and add new achievements to the achievements of his father, the Emperor of Saint.

The emperor was ambitious.

The Grand Tutor Qin Lang expressed his support for this rare statement. At this time, many people remembered that the Grand Tutor Qin began to command troops at the age of 16, and shot down the famous god of war with one blow. Pingdang Xiang defeated the Turks and destroyed Tuyuhun to seek peace and stability in Lingnan to open the southwest. This was a firm pioneering faction.

What's more, later he opened up the fiefdom of Wu'an, and he was devoted to Luzon overseas in recent years, but he never stopped fighting against Luzon Island.

This person is not less obsessed with expanding territory than being a current student.

Luoyang.

In the autumn of the 14th year of Kaiyuan, officials from all over the country and royal families from all over the country went to Beijing to gather.

King Zhao Li Jue came from the northern fiefdom of Yanshan Mountain. After the emperor's uncle, King Xu Li Zhi, was involved in a rebellion case and was killed, the second prince Li Jue was renamed Chengde, the original fiefdom of Li Zhi. This land north of Yanshan Mountain was originally a land of the Xi tribe. Later, Li Shimin set aside a piece for his legitimate son Li Zhi and was killed. He had been in charge for many years, but in the end he was cheaper.

Although the court launched the third large-scale conquest against Xi Qi, 200,000 troops, and the Privy Councilor Li Ji personally took charge, it had no effect on Li Jue.

Although he changed his title to Chengde, the Xi tribe had long retreated and retreated northward after the two previous campaigns of the imperial court. Chengde, a border fief in the north of Yanshan, had long been turned into the rear.

What's more, although he was a vassal of the imperial court, Emperor Li Yin had many restrictions on these royal family members who were granted by the emperor. He could not manage the people or command troops. He only had a few hundred personal guards left, plus one-third of the fief tax revenue, and some supervision power. The vassal of the royal family was actually raised by the emperor.

No fiefs were allowed without an imperial edict, nor were they allowed to enter the capital without authorization, nor were they allowed to make friends with local officials. They were not allowed to do business or anything, but they were not allowed to bully people and the people for profit.

Those with a county or above in the royal family cannot participate in the imperial examination or join the army to lead troops unless they are from the royal family outside the five squads, restrictions are reduced, and they are allowed to participate in the imperial examination and join the army, but they are not allowed to be prime ministers and cannot be appointed as generals above the fourth rank.

Although the royal family and vassals were divided into various areas of the border, they also had two teams of prefectures and state officials, and they also served as the chief governor and governor of the world. However, in fact, this is at most a backup. Only in the most special circumstances, such as the fief or the rebellion near the fief, or the overthrow of the capital, can these vassals obtain temporary special power and play a limited role.

Li Jue has actually been aware of these things for a long time.

The princes entered school at the age of five, and were crowned at the age of twelve. They left the palace and opened the palace. Then they had to leave the capital and entered the vassal state at the age of sixteen. Every three or five years, they were ordered to go to the capital to pay tribute to the emperor.

After a lifetime of sight, I can’t even enjoy the prosperity of the capital. All I have is the desolation and loneliness of the border, and there is even the danger of the invasion and harassment of the barbarians.

In the fiefdom, neither is allowed here nor that.

After waiting for three years, he finally waited for the emperor's edict to return to Beijing. Li Jue immediately set off south without delay. He was very happy along the way, and even hunted while walking, which was very unhappy.

After passing Hulao Pass, you will be considered as entering the territory of Luoyang.

Li Jue's actions were also much more restrained. After all, although he was the second son of the emperor, he did not dare to be careless. If he accidentally made a mistake and was impeached, he might face punishment.

As the prince who was personally adopted and raised by Empress Su, Li Juezi regarded his mother as the queen, and his status was naturally more noble. However, the undercurrents in the court over the years also made him realize that Empress Su's throne was not stable, and even the nominal brother Li Xiang's throne was always in danger.

The Qin concubines of the palace were extremely favored in the palace and had a huge family power. The two Qin concubines had eight princes in total, and they were all very favored by the emperor, especially the fourth king of Jin and the seventh king of Wei. The fourth king of the eldest son even repeatedly reported that they would be made the crown prince, and Li Xiang forced him to resign from the emperor several times.

Although Li Jue was also a little surprised that the deposed Queen and replaced the throne for more than ten years, and even ruined many prime ministers and veterans such as uncle Changsun Wuji, it has now stopped.

But no matter how much he fights, it is not his turn to Li Jue to make the position.

"Well, what a beautiful little lady, it smells so good!"

Li Jue rode a Turkic horse, passed by a market with a golden robe and jade belt, and a carriage passed by. A fragrance hit him. Li Jue saw a young woman behind the curtain of the four-wheeled carriage lifting a corner.

Young and beautiful, with a charming temperament, especially the fragrant wind that made Li Jue feel excited.

The carriage passed by, but the figure of the little lady was unforgettable.

"Check it out immediately, who is the carriage that was just now, and who is the little lady in the car?"

The carriage is quite luxurious and looks extraordinary at first glance. The little lady in the carriage is beautiful and charming. Judging from the style of her hair, she can tell that she has not married.

Li Jue's entourage soon found out the result, and the carriage was indeed not owned by ordinary people.

"That was the carriage of the Wei family in Jingzhao. The father of the little girl in the car was Wei Xuanzhen. She is currently a military officer in Puzhou. Her grandfather Wei Hongbiao was the Dianjun of the Cao Wangfu. Her mother, Cui, the son of the Ministry of Rites of the Sui Dynasty, was Cui Fengju. The young lady was the eldest daughter of Wei Xuanzhen, and her nickname was Lianniang. It is said that she has been fragrant since she was a child and can attract bees and butterflies. Now she is in her 28th century, she can teach poetry and essays and chess and pianos."

Li Jue was very moved when he heard this.

Jingzhao Wei family is a famous family in the world. The second most famous family in Shandong is the second largest family in Shandong. It belongs to one of the six surnames in Guanlong. It is a famous family as famous as Jingzhao Du family, Hongnong Yang family, and Hedong Pei family.

The Zhenguan Dynasty also produced the prime minister Wei Ting, and the eldest concubine Wei was also the most favored concubine in the harem of the Holy Ancestor.

"Do you have the same team as Wei Ting and Wei Concubine?"

"The same clan and the same branch."

Li Jue nodded. Jingzhao Weidu was once very glorious, but he was also involved in the case of a stake in the Zhenguan period and was eventually hit hard. He was greatly weakened in recent years, but after all, he was still one of the top famous families.

"Can Lian Niang be married?"

"It is said that the applicant has already broken the Wei family's more than a dozen thresholds, but the Wei family has not taken a fancy to it and has not yet settled it."
