Chapter 1318 Who is the most suitable
After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor took a sip of tea, then slowly lit the pipe and looked at Emperor Mingyuan with the lingering smoke. "The emperor has such a lofty plan, and I am very pleased that you are considering it right, so there are only two questions. After the emperor answered, I will have no doubts."
Emperor Mingyuan said: "You ask!"
He thought that this was also a far-reaching consideration, and the Supreme Emperor would definitely agree, so he had never thought about anything else.
The Supreme Emperor asked: "You said that the age of the little brother is more than twenty years away from the fifth brother. The brothers are not in deep feelings. I will just say that you are right, but the imperial concubine is also pregnant. If the eleventh prince is born, what will you make?
Hu Concubine is also pregnant in her womb. Once she is a prince, what will you make?"
"This..." Emperor Mingyuan had never thought about this, but it was not difficult to solve it. He said: "The fifth brother has now adopted the imperial concubine. If the imperial concubine gave birth to a prince, she would naturally be closer to the fifth brother. When the prince grows up, she will assist the fifth brother in governing the government. This is not hindered. As for the child in the concubine Hu's womb... I had no plans for the time being. If the prince was born, I would be granted another feud in the future."
"This seems reasonable, as long as the imperial concubine doesn't feel that you are partial to you!"
The Emperor actually said something that was displeased, but Emperor Mingyuan didn't hear it.
Emperor Mingyuan said: "The imperial concubine has a virtuous nature and noble character. She will not have this idea. Don't worry, father."
"Okay, this is the first problem. Just pretend that this is not a problem," the Supreme Emperor asked Xiaoyao to stuff the tobacco into the tobacco pot and continued to ask: "The second question is, with the talent of Hu Hou, it is most appropriate to govern the five cities. I agree with this. He was a little arrogant and had great achievements, but after being alerted, he devoted himself to the court and thought that the duty of a minister. The four words "a minister" are themselves a rule, which can invisibly bind his ambitions and suppress them like a mountain.
He couldn't think too much, and he could be recruited at any time once he thought too much, but you told him that these five cities would be his grandson in the future, which was a test of his human nature. He would think that those cities were his, and that was his fiefdom, because in the past ten or twenty years, it was impossible for the little elders to go to fiefdoms. There is no need to say much about the flaws in Hu Hou's nature. The emperor must also know that he was urged by someone for a few words and did not know what his surname was. Once ambition arises, he will become king. Should I send troops to suppress the situation in the Northern Tang Dynasty or recognize his identity?
You think about it very much.”
"This..." Emperor Yuan of Ming was speechless for a moment, mainly because Hu Hou did have this disadvantage. If he beat him all the time, he could still be more sober. Once he lacked beat him, he would open a dyeing workshop in three parts, and he could really become the king.
Because that place was chaotic and had to resist the friction between the Northern Desert and the Northern Tang Dynasty, it was indeed dangerous to let him be in charge of the jurisdiction alone, but if someone was sent over, he thought it was Xiao Lao Shi's fiefdom, and his grandfather, he would inevitably become arrogant again and could not cooperate with the officials appointed by the court to govern.
He thought about it, "It makes sense for the Emperor to analyze this way, so let's find another candidate. He is not the only general with iron-fisted means."
As he said this, he subconsciously glanced at Xiaoyao Gong and smiled, "My husband was a few better than him back then."
When Xiaoyao heard this, he said, "Your Majesty, comparing the old minister with him is also a way to destroy the old minister."
Zhenbei Hou made meritorious service for the country and rectified the north, but those small-scale fights were incomparable to those who really returned from the battlefield. The battles they fought back then were so thrilling that they were thrilling. How could they be compared later?
Emperor Mingyuan said half jokingly and seriously: "Would my husband be willing to go?"
Xiaoyao Gong was stunned, "Your Majesty, to be honest?"
Emperor Mingyuan smiled and said, "If my husband is willing, I think it is feasible!"
Xiaoyao Gong smiled and fell silent, and glanced at the same silent servant Chu.
The Emperor smiled faintly, his eyes cold, "He has nothing to do with him or not. After the imperial edict is issued, he has to go, go and clean up. He is used to being lonely in this life. He is not worthy of having any young friends by his side. It is important to work hard for the emperor's young son. After all, he has worked hard all his life and does not care about working hard for the last two years. It is considered fulfilling to work hard for the Northern Tang Dynasty. In his later years, he is also fulfilling!"
As soon as this was said, Emperor Mingyuan was very frightened and hurriedly accused him of the crime, "Father, don't get me wrong. I'm just a joke. How can I let my husband take his hometown and leave the well to a remote place in the north of the desert?
I can’t bear it, my husband should accompany you to enjoy your old age in Beijing!”
The Supreme Emperor smiled and continued to light the pipe. He couldn't stop smoking. "I know you are joking. If he is old, you will still be rude and polite."
Emperor Mingyuan knew that he was angry. Although he was smiling, he was very cold. He didn't dare to talk about Xiaoyao again. He only asked: "Then, the father thinks that these five cities cannot be given?
But I have issued an order, and Concubine Hu has thanked me too!"
The Supreme Emperor sighed, "Since I'm talking about this, I will strip it up and analyze it slowly. These five cities have always been in the Beimo area and are governed by the Beimo area. The people in the city are also people from the Beimo area. To truly take these five cities, some people from the remote areas of our Northern Tang must be moved here and intermarried with local people. Only after ten, twenty or thirty years of governance will it gradually become the territory of our Northern Tang and the people of the Northern Tang.
However, this place will not be peaceful in the next fifty years. The indigenous people will die for a day. There will always be people who want to collude with the people of Beimo to seize this land. This will make it necessary for those who govern this area to have great ability to stop the chaos and control the violence. How many years can Huhou be conquered for a while?
Moreover, he is not good at scheming and cannot see through conspiracy. Once others use tricks to incite the local people, he will not be able to deal with it. Will Xiao Lao Shi really be able to take on this place in the future?
If he doesn't go, he will only give it to him, what's the point?"
The Supreme Emperor lit a cigarette and continued, "Another point, these five cities are connected in a line. Chilazhou is bordering Jiangbei Prefecture. All the way forward, there are Heqi Mountains, extending four cities. Now all of them are all transferred back to us. The Heqi Mountains are connected to the five cities, forming an excellent barrier. As long as you can defend here, it will be impossible for the Beimo to invade in the next hundred years. Therefore, these five cities are the lifeline of my Northern Tang Dynasty. There must be no chaos. Do you understand?"
Emperor Mingyuan naturally understood this, but as always, this problem can be solved by sending troops in.
