The promulgation of an official edict is not just done by His Majesty Li Er asking someone to draft it, it has to be stamped by Fang Xuanling and the others to confirm that there is no problem, and then sent to the Menxia Province for review and approval by the Menxia Province. Still have to call back and rewrite.
It is none other than Wei Zheng who often puts a bad face on guard at the door. There are countless edicts that died tragically in Wei Zheng's hands over the years. They died very meaningfully, and provided Wei Zheng with a lot of material for spreading criticism.
Although His Majesty Li Er felt that the old Wei had a bad temper, he still pinched his nose and recognized it. Who could tell Wei Zheng to speak so well and see things so accurately? it is good
Although the edict was stuck on Fang Xuanling's side this time, Fang Xuanling felt that it was necessary to drag Wei Zheng into the water, otherwise he might not be able to persuade His Majesty Li Er.
Wei Zheng looked at the content of the edict and felt that Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji's bombing was very reasonable.
This edict was for Li Yuanying to become a vassal, but His Majesty Li Er not only gave Li Yuanying the original Tengzhou, but also allocated the original fiefdom of King Qi to Li Yuanying! King Qi rebelled two years ago, and the people disappeared. The court has never allocated these places to other vassals. That area is connected to Tengzhou, and it is wider and richer than Tengzhou!
When Li Yuanying was sealed in Tengzhou a few years ago, His Majesty Li Er did not have such a preference for this younger brother, so although the place he chose was not bad, it was not very big. His Majesty Li Er pondered over the map, and felt that such a small place was too wronged for his younger brother, so with a big wave of his hand, he pulled all the land of King Qi and the surrounding areas under Li Yuanying's hands.
Among so many younger brothers, this one was raised by him alone. How can the fiefdom be small, the fiefdom must be big!
There are many states and counties, and the area needs to be large, so how grand it is!
Prince Teng's mansion has already been repaired earlier, so it will not be replaced. It is still located in Tengzhou, but there must be more places under its jurisdiction. As for what is young and inexperienced, he has assigned a group of talents to help manage it. How big a place can't be managed? What's more, Li Yuanying himself also picked up a bunch of people to let them go with him, isn't this just right
His Majesty Li Er felt that his idea was very good and perfect, there was no problem at all, and he freely gave the content for Cen Wenwen to draw up the idea.
Cen Wenwen pinched his nose and wrote the edict, and handed it to Fang Xuanling and the others expressionlessly. He can't let him see His Majesty Li Er's amazing and wonderful idea alone!
This was really a thunderclap on the ground, and Fang Xuanling and the others were stunned—
His Majesty Li Er actually assigned most of Henan Province to Li Yuanying's fiefdom.
Fang Xuanling and the others took the edict together to block His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er was imagining how his bad brother would be successful in getting the imperial edict, but Fang Xuanling and the others blocked him saying that he should type back the imperial edict and rewrite it.
His Majesty Li Er is not happy, it is fine if he is not allowed to fight Goryeo, why not allow him to expand the fiefdom for his younger brother? If this doesn't connect the fief to the sea, what kind of ship will be built? Definitely have to go through it!
His Majesty Li Er got into a fight with several confidantes again, neither side gave an inch, and quarreled around the size of Li Yuanying's fiefdom.
No matter what Wei Zheng and others said, His Majesty Li Er insisted that Li Yuanying can be granted as much land as Li Tai and the others are granted. What made it even more frustrating was that the prince who came to listen was even more generous, and he very boldly stated that it would be no problem to hand over the entire Henan Province to Li Yuanying.
Even if his family wanted to marry their granddaughter to Li Yuanying, Wei Zheng felt that the father and son were either bewitched or lost their heads!
The person involved, Li Yuanying, knew nothing about this, and he was still waiting for the order. It wasn't until Changsun Wuji reminded Wei Zheng to go to Li Yuanying to talk about it, Wei Zheng asked someone to bring Li Yuanying with a dark face, and explained to him that he was stuck at such a stage with regard to the feudal clan.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanying felt that his imperial brother and eldest nephew were really nice, and they actually quietly got him a big fiefdom. He was so happy that he even complained to Wei Zheng: "What are you doing to stop such a good thing? Why don't you give me more room, brother Xinghuang!"
Wei Zheng felt that this Li family was unreasonable.
Fortunately, Wei Zheng knew that Li Yuanying had always been soft rather than hard, so he resisted the urge to scold and analyzed Li Yuanying from all aspects. Tang is not enough.
At the beginning, His Majesty Li Er wanted to establish a hereditary system of governors and make all the kings and nobles into hereditary governors, but he was strongly opposed by Changsun Wuji and others! They gave up this hereditary opportunity by themselves in order not to make such a bad start. Now His Majesty Li Er allocated most of the Henan Province to him based on his own preference, how could they not dissuade him
Li Yuanying is not a person who can't listen to words. After hearing Wei Zheng's good words and good words, he finished his analysis, and the enthusiasm for a big fief in his heart also subsided.
Although he doesn't have much thought about the throne, he can't guarantee that all his sons are excellent and clear. If he gives birth to unworthy offspring, good things will turn into bad things, so it's better not to be special. If any of the children and grandchildren are really capable, they can figure out a way to make their own way; as for those who are not capable, it would be nice to have the royal honor for them, why leave them such a large fiefdom? It harmed the people for no reason!
Generally speaking, those who are capable don't need to rely on him to keep anything, and those who are incompetent are left to them and they can't bear it, and it will make others jealous!
Li Yuanying figured it out, nodded with a sigh and said, "I see. I was still thinking about such a big fief, how many more children my sister Shu and I have would be enough!"
Wei Zheng twitched his face.
A child with no hair at all, is already thinking about having a few more children! Giving birth to a child is like going around the gate of hell!
Li Yuanying saw that Wei Zheng's expression was not very good, so he quickly stopped thinking about the future of having children with Wei Zheng, and patted his chest to promise Wei Zheng that he would push back the matter of the big fiefdom as soon as possible, and never make such a bad start.
Li Yuanying didn't lie to Wei Zheng either, he immediately went to His Majesty Li Er after knowing why Jiufan's order could not come down, and showed that he didn't need such a large fiefdom.
His Majesty Li Er was blocked and persuaded by Changsun Wuji and others for a few days, and he felt a little rebellious, and he was determined to fight to the end. Hearing that Li Yuanying ran to say no, His Majesty Li Er's expression was very bad.
Li Yuanying observed the words and expressions, and knew that His Majesty Li Er had fought two games and failed to win, so he was in a very bad mood! He told His Majesty Li Er about his thoughts, and then said: "Brother Huang, if you want to give me a big fiefdom, you can wait for me to make great achievements in the future before giving it to me! Now you give all the good things to me. I'm dead, what else can I reward me in the future?"
His Majesty Li Er saw that he was full of self-confidence, and said that he had "made a great contribution" without shame, and the annoyance just now disappeared. He pointed to Li Yuanying and said, "You have confidence in yourself!"
Li Yuanying said: "Of course, if I don't believe in myself, who will believe in you! Brother Huang, wait, I will definitely make great contributions to you! If someone says that you shouldn't give me a big fiefdom, I will Take someone to beat them, no, I will ask someone to throw dung at the door of their house! Write big characters! Throw dead chickens, dogs, and rats!"
His Majesty Li Er was quite moved when he heard it, but he cursed after hearing it: "Shut up, where did you hear such dirty tricks?!"
Li Yuanying shut up obediently.
His Majesty Li Er also felt that his decision was not right at the moment. Li Yuanying had many good ideas and even more crooked ones. Ten cows couldn't hold back the trouble, and he really wanted to ruin most of Henan Province. It is uncertain how many people will suffer. He said: "Okay, I will discuss this matter with Fang Qing and the others."
Li Yuanying nodded, and said, "Then can I have a small request?"
His Majesty Li Er looked at him.
Li Yuanying looked at His Majesty Li Er anxiously: "I heard that the queen of the feudal clan is not allowed to leave the fief without permission, but I have to go to Mount Tai to see it, and I also want to go to the beach to have fun, how about building a big ship for you, brother?" ? Otherwise, I don’t need to classify these places into my fiefdom, but just allow me to walk freely in these places.”
Li Yuanying had planned to discuss this matter with His Majesty Li Er, and now he had the opportunity to seize it.
His Majesty Li Er nodded in response to Li Yuanying's request and asked him to go back and wait for the order.
Li Yuanying didn't want a big fiefdom, but only the right to walk freely in Henan Province, Fang Xuanling and the others agreed after discussing for a while.
This matter is easy to handle, Li Yuanying is a jinshi prince after all, so it is not special to add an official position with inspection duties to him. If other feudal lords also want such authority, let them also take the Jinshi examination! Compared with the big hand made by His Majesty Li Er, Li Yuanying's request is really easy to pass!
The controversy came to an end, and the imperial edict was quickly stamped everywhere and sent to Li Yuanying. This imperial edict is naturally filled with beautiful words. Li Yuanying didn't understand much after listening to it. After reading it twice in his hand, he was sure that all the requirements he raised were met, and all the people he and His Majesty Li Er wanted were on the accompanying list. superior!
Li Yuanying was so happy that he couldn't sleep, and the next day he started running around saying goodbye to the people he knew, expressing that he would miss them.
Although Li Yuanying said so, anyone with eyes can see that Li Yuanying has no reluctance at all, and his whole heart is no longer in Chang'an! Rather than saying he's actually saying goodbye, he's going around showing off that he's free to play right away!
His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Yuanying having fun everywhere, and felt that this little heartless man was really heartless. He was born in Chang'an and grew up in Chang'an, but he didn't have any nostalgia for this place. He expressly hinted that he wanted to go to the fiefdom, and after he settled down, he couldn't sit still for a moment!
Li Yuanying bid farewell to everyone he could think of, and unsurprisingly picked up a few more talents.
For example, Ouyang Xun's youngest son Ouyang Tong, Ouyang Tong is only 19 years old this year and has not yet reached the weak crown.
Ouyang Tong has been practicing calligraphy hard for the past few years, but now he has encountered a bottleneck. Knowing that Li Yuanying was going to bring a group of young talents to the fief, Ouyang Tong also wanted to follow him to broaden his horizons. After all, his mother was worried about going out alone, and her mother could always feel at ease with such a large group of people!
Li Yuanying dug out one by one, and the army of Jiufan became stronger and stronger. The night before his departure, he remembered that he hadn't said goodbye to His Majesty Li Er, so he hurriedly took the mellow and sweet Gaochang wine to have a night chat with His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er didn't give him a good face at first, but Li Yuanying has always been the most able to face difficulties, which made him lose his temper. The two brothers sat down and talked until late at night, not talking about important family and country affairs, only talking about plucking beards What annoyance sir.
When Li Yuanying was about to go back, His Majesty Li Er sullenly told him to go to the fief and not to be self-willed, and to really be a man of indomitable spirit and stop treating himself like a child.
Li Yuanying agreed wholeheartedly, and ran away.
On the second day, Li Yuanying was about to leave for Tengzhou. Early in the morning, Li Yuanying led a motorcade out of the palace in a mighty manner. He brought many people and brought a lot of things. The long line of chariots and horses stretched from Tianjie Street to the end of Tianjie Street, attracting many people to run out. The onlookers were stunned. Some people are idle and have nothing to do to count how many cars the convoy has brought, and they feel dizzy from counting, so they can only give up!
Looking at the people again, you can't see those in the carriage, but there are men and women on horseback, all of whom are extremely handsome and have extraordinary bearing! Before, they didn't know that there were so many beautiful men and women hidden in Chang'an City!
Who are these? !
Some people were well-informed and told the people around them that King Teng was about to take over the feudal clan. The rumors spread widely, and everyone who came out to watch knew about it. Naturally, they were all moved by His Majesty Li Er's love for this younger brother—
Look, how many treasures and how many people have been given this!
In addition to the common people who came out to marvel, there were also some people who had been favored by Li Yuanying and sent them all the way outside the city gate, watching the convoy go out reluctantly, looking at the attitude that it was quite empty.
Li Chengqian personally sent Li Yuanying to the outside of the city, but he had to say goodbye after sending you off for thousands of miles, and he couldn't send him off again outside the long pavilion. He was a bit reluctant to part with Li Yuanying as Yaoshu, but Li Yuanying was very unrestrained: "Chengqian, you go back, we have to go, it's not good to have so many people blocking the city gate, and old Wei will say that we are disturbing the people!"
Li Chengqian stopped seeing them off, Zhuma watched Li Yuanying lead his long procession to the east.
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: Goodbye, Chang'an!
Empty Nest Brother: Today I change my nickname.
Little Prince:
Note: Henan Road in the Tang Dynasty was not the current Henan Province, but the Shandong Peninsula. His Majesty Li Er’s idea was simply to give the entire Shandong Peninsula to the little prince. It's so atmospheric!
