"If there are important matters in the military and national affairs, the important matters in the military and national affairs will be submitted in person!"

In the hall, the censor in the hall sang loudly.

"I am the minister of the minister Zhang Xingcheng asked for a report!"

A middle-aged civil servant in a robe held up a tablet and asked for a loud comment.

"allow!"

Prince Chengqian, who was sitting in the hall, was sitting on the imperial bed and watched him proclaim loudly.

"I requested the Yuan Dynasty to subdue the kings to join the vassal state!"

Zhang Xingcheng said something astonishing, "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he has enfeoffed royal families. Now the Wude Dynasty has reached Zhenguan, there are twenty-four kings who have enfeoffed them so far, including King Huai of Wei, King Wei, Li Baoding, King Ai of Chu, Li Linggui, King Jing, Li Yuanjing, King Jing, Li Yuanchang, King Feng, Li Yuanheng, King Wu, Li Ke, King Wei, Li Tai, King Qi, Li You, the Eight Kings of Qi, have all become adults. According to the order, the country that is vassal cannot be in the capital for a long time."

It was like a stone plunged into the pond, and ripples suddenly appeared.

Among the Eight Kings, three are the princes of the Supreme Emperor, two are the heirs adopted by the royal family to the two princes who died young, and the other three are the emperor's princes.

King Jing Yuanjing was fifteen years old, King Wu Li Ke was thirteen, and King Qi Li You were thirteen.

They were all crowned with 12-year-old Yuan suits.

According to the imperial system, if the Yuan Dynasty is crowned, it is indeed a vassal country.

Cheng Qian sat on it expressionlessly, "I am the kings and the kings, brothers, and I want to meet each other often. Especially the three emperors are still young, so it is too early to be a vassal country at this time?"

The minister who was very interested had long seen that today's people were not good. Zhang Xingcheng was a minister in charge of the disciples, but some people also knew that this person was close to Prime Minister Ma Zhou and was taken care of by Ma Zhou. Whose person is Ma Zhou?

Qin Sanlang is the prince’s teacher.

So we immediately came to the conclusion that what happened today seemed to be the princelings. At this time, the kings mentioned the vassal states, probably because there was a rumor a few days ago. It was said that the emperor was becoming more and more fond of King Wei Li Tai. Not only did he specifically ask King Wei Li Tai to open a scholar's hall, but he also gave him tens of thousands of books and rewarded countless manor industries for the King of Wei.

What's even more amazing is that it is said that the emperor wished to be with the King of Wei who was both good at calligraphy and painting at a young age, skilled in cursive script and proficient in poetry and essays every day, so he intended to let Li Tai move into the Wude Hall to live.

Wude Hall is in Tai Chi Palace, and it is separated from the Eastern Palace by a wall.

During the Wude period, Wude Hall was the palace where King Yuanji of Qi lived. Li Tai was already thirteen years old. The prince had to leave the palace and live outside after he was over eight years old.

Now that the prince is old, the emperor still wants his son to move into the palace, and even live in the Wude Hall next to the East Palace, which makes people think a lot.

There are even rumors that the emperor intends to let Li Tai serve as the governor of Yongzhou, and this position has always been the Crown Prince himself and a director to train his government affairs skills, and has always performed well in office.

All kinds of wind and noise have made the atmosphere in the capital become a little nervous.

Now that the emperor is on vacation in Bashang, the officials proposed to let the kings who had passed the Yuan Dynasty become a vassal country, but it is inevitable that there is a deeper meaning.

"Your Highness, of course, I want to meet each other often, but the family and country affairs are different, so I must be a vassal. This is a system." Zhang Xingcheng said bluntly.

Chengqian's eyes swept towards the ministers in the hall.

Today is the Chaowang Dynasty. Not only the regular officials participated, but all the officials above the fifth rank in the capital participated in the court meeting, and thousands of officials were famous.

Zhang Xingcheng's words also raised this topic for thousands of Beijing officials.

Twenty-four kings are now eight of them.

Since its founding, he has been granted many kings. Later, at the beginning of Zhenguan, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he suddenly seized a lot of titles from the sect kings. Those who had made merits retained their titles, while those who had no or had little credit were all given their titles, resulting in the dozens of kings in the royal family who had only six kings left. Finally, Xiao Chang Youliang and others were involved in the plot against the king, so only the four kings of Li Xiaogong, Li Shentong, Li Daozong and Li Daoming were left.

Li Yuan's adult sons, Jiancheng and Yuanji, died in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and each of them was killed, and Xuanba and Li Zhiyun also died before the founding of the country.

The rest of the sects were all young.

The result is that until now, the princes have passed away.

King Jing Yuanjing was the oldest among these uncles and nephews, fifteen years old. He was the sixth son of the Supreme Emperor. His mother was Mo. In the third year of Wude, he was first granted King of Zhao and was appointed as the governor of Anzhou. In the first year of Zhenguan, he was moved to the governor of Yongzhou and the general of the Right Guard. Later, he was renamed King of Jing and appointed as the governor of Jingzhou and was in charge of the remote command.

His princess Pei is the daughter of Pei Ji.

Although Li Yuanjing has been granted multiple official positions, like other kings, he has never really held any official position. He is just a name and has always lived in Chang'an, the capital.

······

Bashang.

Jingyugou, Cherry Blossom Manor.

The summer is hot, but the emperor, the empress, King Tai of Wei, King Zhi of Jin, Princess Changle, etc., escaped the summer heat, boating on the water, picking lotus and fishing, so it was so leisurely.

When Li Shimin rose, he even swam in the water.

At noon, the sun was fierce, and Li Shimin sat under the cherry tree and ate sour plum soup, watching the memorial. He was not in the capital, but the emperor would still ask the officials to send me off, so that the emperor could grasp the movements in the court at any time.

After reading several memorials one after another, the emperor looked unhappy.

"I will send an order to return to the palace tomorrow morning!"

Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with the sudden gust of the demonic wind that made the kings fall into vassals.

The next morning, I took the cool morning and returned to Beijing.

As soon as he returned to Chang'an, the emperor immediately summoned the prince and the prime ministers to discuss matters in the hall.

"What do you think about the discussions of the vassal states?"

Wei Zheng, the minister of the Shishi, stood up first, "Since the Eight Kings have already added the Yuan Dynasty, they are adults. According to the system, they should be a vassal country. There is no reason to stay in the capital."

The Secretary of the Central Committee Xiao Yu also spoke immediately, "Your Majesty had previously formulated the system of vassals. Now that the Eight Kings have become adults, they can be ordered to be granted vassals."

"Wuji?"

"Your Majesty, I also believe that the Eight Kings can be ordered to be a vassal country."

"Xuanling?"

"Be a vassal."

······

All the prime ministers agreed to the Eight Kings as vassals, and the reason was that this was to act according to the court system. Since it was decided, it should be abide by it.

Especially Xiao Yu, who first advocated the hereditary corpses, believed that it was just the right time to take the opportunity to let the adult Eight Kings join the vassal state and open the hereditary corpses in Yongzhen.

"Then let's discuss this matter!"

Li Shimin was a little helpless, but after thinking about it, he still said, "Let's start with King Wei."

The first King of Wei of the Tang Dynasty was Li Xuanba, who was Li Yuan's third son and Li Shimin's brother and brother. He died of illness in the tenth year of Daye, at the age of only sixteen and had no sons. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he posthumously named King of Wei and was posthumously named Huai. At first, Li Shimin's second son Li Tai was succeeded, and he was specially appointed King of Wei of the Li Tai, and was added to the Zhu Kingdom.

However, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he asked Li Tai to return to the emperor, so he changed his title from the royal family to Li Baoding, the son of Li Qiong, the son of Xiping King, and was still named King Wei.

The two successors were granted more than the specifications, not as the successor king, but as the prince.

Li Baoding belongs to the clan's clan's nephew and is Li Shimin's clan's nephew. Li Shimin has no feelings for this clan's nephew. At the beginning, he chose another clan's nephew from the clan's clan's third brother to make Li Tai return to the clan's clan's clan's third brother.

"Your Majesty, according to the hereditary system previously established, all the kings were granted the title of governor, and the meritorious officials were granted the title of governor, and they were all granted the title of the frontier to expand the territory and guard the border." Xiao Yu was a firm advocate of the world's feudal system and was very active in this matter.

Li Shimin asked someone to put on a big map, "Where should I seal it?"

Hou Junji looked at the huge map and looked for the location of Liuqiu Island on it. He saw the large island opposite Fuzhou. "Your Majesty, I heard that Duke Wei Qin Lang has shown his power in the East China Sea. He led the newly built Navy's Third Fleet to expedition Liuqiu Island, broke the island fence, captured more than 12,000 people, and established Liuqiuzhou. It is very impressive."

He smiled sinisterly, "I think it would be great if the Duke of Wei conquered the East China Sea to seek the island.

Duke Wei, King Wei.

Li Shimin's eyes also turned to the island in the east of the sea. He also knew about Qin Lang's attack on Liuqiu Island.

Hesitated for a while, but did not object.

Anyway, this King of Guard Li Baoding was not close at all, but was just a successor for his brothers. Haidongliuqiu only had some weak island barbarians on the island. If Li Baoding was asked to enthrone the vassal island, there would be no need to worry that he could not defend it.

"What do you think? Prince?"

Chengqian was named and said seriously, "My son thought Liuqiuzhou was a good fief of King Wei."

"Okay, let's confer the title of King of the vassal of Liuqiuzhou in the East Sea and be appointed as the hereditary governor of Liuqiuzhou. Xu's descendants were hereditary and replaced him, and Yongzhen Pingfan."

"Next, let's discuss the ban on Chu King Li Linggui."

The king and his ministers made a gesture to the map, and finally chose the corner near the banks of the Liao River in northeastern Liao and bordering the Khitan, at this time the northeastern part of the empire.

"The king of Chu Li Linggui was granted the title of the hereditary governor of Yanjin Prefecture in western Liaoning, and Xu's descendants were inherited and replaced by Yongzhen Pingfan!"

King Jing Li Yuanjing was granted to Weizhou (Li County), King Han Li Yuanchang was granted to Xiuzhou (Lijiang), King Feng Li Yuanheng was granted to Bozhou (Zunyi).

"Wu Wang Ke," Li Shimin hesitated for a moment. After all, this was his own son, but he had already conferred several brothers and nephews before. There was no reason why his own son would not be conferred. "Wu Wang Ke was conferred the vassal of Tianzhou, Guangxi Road (Baise)."

"King of Wei, King of Wei."

Li Shimin looked on the map several times and glanced from Liaoxi to Hetao, then from the north to Longyou, then from Jiannan to Yunnan, then swept through Qianzhong, Guangxi, and finally landed in Guangnan, but he was reluctant to make up his mind. These border areas were too wild and remote.

"The King of Wei conferred Tanzhou!" The emperor's last eyes fell on Changsha.

As a result, Wei Zheng immediately stood up to object, "Since your Majesty said before that all the kings and the meritorious officials all had their titles on the border, Tanzhou is not a border, and the Changsha where Tanzhou is located has been a key place in the Central Plains since ancient times."

Xiao Yu also stood up to oppose it, believing that if the emperor conferred the title of King Tai of Wei in Changsha, it would be a bad start. If the emperor conferred all his beloved princes to the Central Plains in the future, it would be the beginning of the collapse of the feudal system.

"I would like to enfeoff the King of Wei to Jiannan Huiye Prefecture (Kangding)."

When Li Shimin saw that this was already barren, it was completely the territory of the Dong Qiang people. It was not the real control of the Tang Dynasty, so he quickly shook his head.

"Can be enfeoffed in Yizhou!" Xiao Yu said.

When Li Shimin saw that it was even southerly than Huiyezhou, but the Huiyezhou court had a little more control over it, but these were also the territory of the Southwest Yi. In the past two years, the Southwest Yi has been in a very powerful situation. He shook his head again, reluctant to let it go.
