"From the very beginning, I suggested that Your Majesty let those aristocratic families have nothing to do to attack those barbarian countries. When various countries were founded, they did not prohibit these Li clan members from attacking those small countries.
The reason why I didn’t encourage those princes, princes, and princes to attack those vassal states and expand the territory for me, the Tang Dynasty, was because I was afraid that those bastards would curse me behind my back and make them suffer!”
"Since they are now very envious of the Cui family and the Zheng family, let them go and expand their territory with their own soldiers.
We should even suggest that your Majesty should encourage them to open up more territories and expand their territories. As long as they have the ability to attack those barbarian countries, establish a country for them and grant them the status of a kingdom.
But as soon as they go out to establish the country, we, the Tang Dynasty, should stop paying them salaries and revoke their original titles."
"Moreover, the nobles of the entire Tang Dynasty can also enjoy this kind of treatment. As long as they have the ability to go out to explore, build their own country, and become their own rulers, then Your Majesty should support them and let them do whatever they want abroad.
Just do whatever you want.
However, all their salaries in Datang will be stopped. Moreover, after establishing the kingdom, they will have to pay taxes to Datang every year.
In this way, if you can go out and send a hundred relatives of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty and nobles of the Tang Dynasty to expand the territory and establish a kingdom.
Then, the Tang Dynasty is the real kingdom of heaven, the land of China.
Outside our Tang Dynasty, hundreds of kingdoms will appear, guarding our Tang Dynasty layer by layer.
So, let’s see what kind of alien race can invade our borders of the Tang Dynasty?”
Hearing this, Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others couldn't help but widen their eyes with shock on their faces.
It’s actually possible to do this!
"Also, if those royal families and nobles go out to establish the Tang Dynasty, they can also hand over their kingdom to the Tang Dynasty and let the Tang Dynasty manage it.
However, they must govern their country for a year..."
So, here comes some words.
Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others were also relieved.
No matter what, letting those bastards go out to attack a few cities and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty will definitely do more good than harm!
However, in order not to let those bastards say that they deliberately tried to harm them, they still had to explain everything clearly.
Afterwards, Li Chengqian hurriedly recorded Li Xuan's words with Fang Yizhi and others.
Take it and run to Tai Chi Palace.
They also had a huge headache because of this matter.
Although Li Tang had only founded the country for more than ten years, the Li Tang clan already had dozens of princes.
These princes are all very close people.
Ever since the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Lu family of Fanyang were all crowned kings, these Li and Tang clan members began to have green eyes. They didn't know who had been deceived, and they were jumping up and down one by one.
Not only did he write memorials to Li Shimin, but he also wrote memorials to Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others.
Inside the Liangyi Hall.
Li Fengci, King of Bohai, Li Boyi, King of Longxi, Li Daoxing, Prince of Guangning County, Li Xiaoxie, Duke of Xi, Li Daoyan, Duke of Jiaodong County, Li Daobi, Duke of Boling County, Li Daozong, Prince of Jiangxia County, Li Xiaogong, Prince of Hejian County...
More than a dozen relatives of the Li family in Chang'an stood in front of Li Shimin with miserable faces.
Li Shimin was also helpless towards these people.
In terms of relationships and blood ties, these Li clan members are the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
In terms of ability, apart from Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong, among these people, there is really no one he can think of!
However, it is also this group of people who are difficult to deal with.
"You are eager to see those aristocratic families capture Tuyuhun, Baekje and other countries. However, have you ever thought about, besides Daozong and Xiaogong, what ability do you have to capture the cities of those small countries, and what ability do you have to govern those countries?
city?
Even facing counterattacks from those small countries, what ability do you have to defend them?"
Li Shimin let out a long breath, his face full of helplessness.
What a bunch of idiots!
"Your Majesty, there is no need for you to worry about this matter. As a county king, we don't even have a feudal kingdom, and we can't even compare with those aristocratic families. This is a great shame.
Anyway, if you give money to those aristocratic families, you might as well give money to the clan members like me!"
Bohai King Li Fengci said with a depressed look.
"snort!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly, "Li Fengci, you grew up playing with my brothers and me. Who knows what kind of guy you are? You idle around all day long. You can only stretch your hands for clothes and open your mouth for food. You can only eat, drink and enjoy yourself. I heard that
There are hundreds of prostitutes and concubines in your house, all of whom are well-dressed, must eat only rice and meat, and are extremely arrogant and extravagant.
Just because you are a dandy prince, if you take your personal guards to attack the city, you will be wasting the lives of all the personal guards!"
"Your Majesty, please do not underestimate us. As descendants of our ancestors, it will be easy for us to attack those mere barbarians!"
On the side, Li Daoxing also said with a depressed look.
"Wait..."
Li Shimin's expression became angry again.
"See you, Father!"
At this time, Li Chengqian rushed back.
"What did Xuanba say?"
Li Shimin's eyes were filled with joy, and then he asked calmly.
"Father, please look!"
With that said, Li Chengqian directly handed the pieces of paper in his hand to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin watched directly.
The look in his eyes gradually became serious.
"His Majesty?"
After Li Shimin finished reading, Li Xiaogong on the side looked full of anticipation.
Others don't know, but Li Xiaogong knows that Li Shimin has been delaying like this because he is waiting for Li Xuanba's reply.
"Let's take a look!"
Li Shimin glanced at Li Xiaogong angrily and handed over the pieces of paper in his hand.
"this……"
After reading it, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but frown slightly.
Then, he passed on the paper in his hand.
After everyone had finished reading, Li Shimin chuckled and asked, "I have no objection to you wanting to establish a country outside the Tang Dynasty.
On the contrary, people like Xuanba are very supportive.
However, between the princes of the Tang Dynasty and those barbarian kingdoms, there was only one choice.
However, you all can rest assured that we are all clan members after all.
If you go out to conquer and fail to conquer the kingdom, and come back to the Tang Dynasty, I will still grant you a title, but your title will be lowered by two levels!
And if after you conquer the kingdom, you dislike the poverty of the kingdom and want to return to the Tang Dynasty, that's fine!
I will assign people to manage your kingdom, but your previous title will be lowered by one level!"
Hearing this, all the princes and princes looked overjoyed.
"Well, if Xiaogong and Daozong also want to attack a kingdom and become kings, I will agree!"
Li Shimin said again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong quickly saluted and thanked them.
"However, you all must think carefully. I will not send troops to assist you. At most, after you are defeated and killed by those small countries, I will send troops to avenge you!"
Li Shimin said again.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty treats those aristocratic families like that and lends us some weapons, that will be all!"
All the Li clan members are full of confidence.
"Hmph! I hope you don't regret it!"
Li Shimin snorted again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you will never regret it!"
All the clan members responded again.
Li Shimin waved his hands helplessly, no longer wanting to listen to these idiots.
How could it be so easy to be the king of the barbarian lands outside the Tang Dynasty?
After leaving the Tai Chi Palace, all the Li clan members dispersed in all directions with faces full of joy.
"Brother Prince Xiaogong, do you want to conquer a few cities and have some fun as a king?"
Li Daozong caught up with Li Xiaogong and asked with a chuckle.
