After listening, the emperor took a sip of the tea, then slowly raised his pipe, and looked at the Ming and Yuan Emperor with the haunting smoke, "The emperor has such a lofty plan, I am very pleased, and I think you are right. There were only two questions, the emperor answered, and the lonely has no more questions."
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "You ask!"
He thought that this was also a far-reaching consideration, and the Supreme Emperor would definitely agree to it, so he didn't think about other things.
The emperor asked: "You said that there are more than 20 years between the age of the youngest ten and the fifth old man. The brotherly relationship is not deep. Let alone when you are right, but the imperial concubine is also pregnant, if you give birth to eleventh. Prince, what are your arrangements? Concubine Hu is also pregnant in her womb. Once she is the prince, what arrangements will you make?"
"This..." Emperor Ming Yuan never thought about this, but it is not difficult to solve, saying: "The fifth child is now in the lap of the imperial concubine. If the imperial concubine gives birth to a prince, he will naturally get closer to the fifth prince, and wait for the prince. When I grow up, it’s okay to assist my fifth elder brother in governing the government. As for the child in the womb of Concubine Hu... I didn’t make any plans for a while. If the prince is born, I will divide it into another title in the future."
"This seems plausible, as long as the imperial concubine doesn't think you are partial!" The Taishang emperor's words actually concealed unpleasantness, but Emperor Ming Yuan didn't hear it.
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "The imperial concubine has a virtuous character and a noble character. She will not have this idea. You can rest assured, Father."
"Okay, this is the first problem. Just as it solves no problem at all," the emperor called Xiaoyaogong stuffed tobacco into the pot and continued to ask: "The second question is to govern with the talent of Huhou. Those five cities are the most suitable. He only agrees with this point. He was a bit arrogant and made great achievements, but after being vigilant, he devoted himself to the court and thought that the duty of the courtiers was the four courtiers. The word itself is a rule, but it can invisibly restrain his ambitions, like a big mountain, he can't think too much, once you think too much, you can call it back at any time, but you told him that these five cities will be him in the future Grandson’s, this is a test of his humanity, he will think that those cities are his, that is his fief, because in the past ten or twenty years, it is impossible for Xiaolaoshi to go to the fief, and there is a defect in his temperament. No need to say more, the emperor must also know that he is a person who has been slammed by others and does not know what his surname is. Once the ambition is born and becomes king of himself, will I send troops to suppress him or admit his identity? You? So think about it."
"This..." Emperor Ming Yuan was speechless for a while, mainly because Huhou did have this shortcoming. If he was beaten all the time, he could still be a little more sober. If he lacked beatenness, he would open the dyeing workshop three-pointers, and it was really possible to stand on his own as a king.
Because that place is chaotic, and to resist the friction between Beimo and Beitang, it is indeed dangerous to let him be under the jurisdiction. But if someone is dispatched, he thinks that it is the fief of Xiaolaoshi, and his grandfather is the master. It is inevitable to regenerate arrogance, unable to coordinate with the officials appointed by the court to govern.
He considered for a moment, "Father's analysis like this is also reasonable, then we will find another candidate, and he will not be the only general with an iron fist."
He said this, subconsciously glanced at Xiaoyao's father, smiled and said, "My husband was better than him back then."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao said hey, "The emperor, compare him with the veteran, you are also burying the veteran."
Zhenbeihou is doing meritorious service for the country and rectifying the north, but those little troubles are incomparable with people like them who have really returned from the battlefield. The battles fought in the past have lived and died several times. All were thrilling, how can they be compared later
Emperor Ming Yuan said, half joking and half earnestly: "Then the old man is willing to go there?"
Father Xiaoyao was startled, "The emperor is serious?"
Emperor Ming Yuan smiled and said: "If the old man is willing, I think it is feasible!"
Xiaoyao smiled and fell silent, and glanced at Chu Shoufu who was also silent.
The Supreme Emperor smiled faintly, his eyes were cold, "He has nothing to do or not, he has to go, go, go back and clean up, and I have been lonely in this life, and I don’t deserve young friends to accompany him. It’s still important to contribute to the emperor’s youngest son. After all, I have worked my entire life, and I don’t care about the last two years of hard work. It is only after the devotion of the Northern Tang Dynasty to the death. In his later years, it is also considered fulfilling!"
As soon as the words came out, Emperor Ming Yuan was shocked and rushed to confess his crime, "Father, don't misunderstand, I'm just joking, how can I let my grandfather leave the land and go to the remote place of Mobei? Don’t worry, let’s stay with you in Beijing to spend your twilight years!"
The Supreme Emperor smiled and continued to light his pipe. With this smoking, he couldn't stop. "I know you are joking. If he is old this year, you still assign him to guard the border town. It is really mean and widowed."
Emperor Ming Yuan knew that he was angry. Although he was smiling, he was very cold. He didn't dare to talk about Gong Xiaoyao for a while. He just asked: "Then these five cities, the emperor doesn't think he can be granted? But I have already made an order. Concubine Hu also thanked her!"
The Supreme Emperor sighed, “Since I’m talking about this, I’ll peel away and analyze it with you. These five cities have always been located in the northern desert and are under the control of the northern desert. The people in the city are also from the northern desert. To win these five cities, it is necessary to move some people in the remote areas of Northern Tang Dynasty here, intermarry with the local people, and ten, twenty, thirty years of governance will gradually become true. I am the land of the Northern Tang Dynasty and the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty. However, this place will not be peaceful in the next fifty years. The aborigines will not grow old and die a day. There will always be people who want to collude with the people of Northern Desert to snatch this land back. The people who govern this area must have great abilities to stop chaos and violence. Huhou can stay in town for a while. How many years can he stay in town? And he is not good at scheming and cannot see through conspiracy. Inciting the local people, he couldn't deal with it. In the future, Xiao Laoshi, will he really be able to hold this place? If he doesn't go, just give it to him, what's the point?"
The Supreme Emperor lighted a cigarette again and continued: "A little bit more, these five cities are connected in a line. Chila Prefecture is at the junction of Jiangbei Prefecture. All the way forward, there is the Heqi Mountain Range, which stretches over four cities. Back to us, the Heqi Mountain Range is connected to the five cities, forming an excellent barrier. As long as you can hold it here, it will not be easy for the North Desert to invade in the next hundred years. Therefore, these five cities are our Beitang. There must not be any disturbances in the lifeline of his life, do you understand?"
The Emperor Ming and Yuan naturally understood this, but, as always, sending troops to garrison, this problem can be solved.
Needless to say, what kind of capable people should be placed there, and now, who is more suitable than Huhou
