Chapter 325: The Grand Blueprint of the Yonghui Dynasty
Indeed, most of the kings of Wu in history were granted fiefdoms in Kuaiji, which is the so-called Wu area.

The origin of this comes from the Wu State in the Spring and Autumn Period.

The King of Wu, Liu Bi, who came after him, was also granted the title of Duke of Wu. The famous Jiangdong Rat, who everyone knows after him, was also in Kuaiji.

So even though Li Ke's fief was not in Kuaiji, it was still in Anzhou, Hubei, which could actually be considered in Wu if rounded off.

Li Ke was about to be transferred to the west of the Western Regions, so according to the unwritten rules, it was indeed not appropriate to call him the King of Wu.

"Actually, the title King of Qin is a good one." Li Zhi suddenly said.

Li Tai glanced at him sideways and rubbed his head with his hand: "Don't even think about the title of King of Qin. This is a title that Aye used. You should know what it means in our Tang Dynasty."

Li Ke also nodded repeatedly. He didn't dare to accept this title even if he was given it...

"The only country in the west during the Spring and Autumn Period was Qin." Li Zhi spread his hands and said, "Besides Qin, there is Jin, but Jin has been given to me..."

"Then you make a sacrifice." Li Tai said with a smile: "You and your third brother will switch places. You will be the King of Wu and your third brother will be the King of Jin—"

"I won't." Li Zhi shook his head again and again: "Absolutely not."

No matter how good the relationship between the brothers is, the title of King of Jin must not be given to others, Li Zhi thought viciously in his heart.

The title of King of Jin has a profound meaning in the Tang Dynasty.

After all, the Li family first started their uprising in Jinyang, the birthplace of the Tang Dynasty.

From this, we can see how much Li Shimin loved Li Mingda, and he gave Li Mingda the title of Longxingdi...

"How about..." Li Su suddenly raised his head: "Just call him West King? Named after the direction..."

Li Xiang shuddered. The title of King of the West was not very auspicious.

Hearing this name, one can't help but think of the "Heavenly Brother" in the story of "Heavenly Father kills Heavenly Brother", the Western King Xiao Chaogui.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Chaogui himself. He is brave and good at fighting, and is also a powerful general.

"The King of the West, the Great King of the West..." Li Zhi's eyes lit up, "Okay, from now on, the third brother will be called the Great King of the West!"

Anyway, as long as he doesn't steal his title of King of Jin, everything is good in Li Zhi's eyes, no matter whether the title sounds good or not.

You know what, as soon as the King of the Great West opened his mouth, another man with a beard and wearing a Fan Yang hat appeared in front of Li Xiang's eyes.

kill!

Li Xiang shuddered involuntarily. This King of the Great West doesn't like to be called that. Does he think that the Western Regions are a bit urbanized?
"Stop, stop..." Li Xiang quickly opened his mouth to stop them. If they continued talking, who knows what kind of ban might come up.

He now realizes how unreliable these uncles and aunts are.

But you must remember, when you have children in the future, don't ask them to help you name them, otherwise it is easy to come up with scary names like Xiao Qinshou and Xiao Chusheng.

"What's up, Xiang'er, do you have any good ideas?" Li Tai asked with a smile.

"Why not call him the King of Han?" Li Xiang said, "In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han was named the King of Han, and it was also in the west. Uncle San uses this title to expand the territory and create living space for us Han people—"

Liu Bang was named King of Han after the Hongmen Banquet.

At that time, Xiang Yu led his troops westward, entered Xianyang, slaughtered and burned the Qin Dynasty palaces, and killed the Qin King Ziying.

After this, Xiang Yu ignored the agreement made by King Huai of Chu, Xiong Xin, that "whoever conquers Guanzhong first will be king of it", and honored Xiong Xin as the Righteous King, intending to divide the fiefdoms among the princes and generals of various countries.

So Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the Overlord of Western Chu and presided over the division of the world.

Liu Bang was named King of Han, with 41 counties in Ba, Shu and Han, and Nanzheng as his capital. Then the petty Xiang Yu appointed Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi, the surrendered generals of the Qin Dynasty, as King of Yong, King of Sai and King of Zhai, and gave them the Guanzhong area to control Liu Bang.

Of course the hot-tempered Liu Bang could not tolerate this and was furious. He planned to send troops to attack Xiang Yu. After being dissuaded by Xiao He and others, he decided to endure and enter Shu.

"Okay, King Han!" Everyone responded, "How about we use this King Han?"

As they spoke, everyone looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was peeling pistachios with his hands, and said with a smile: "Why are you looking at me? The emperor now is your eldest brother, and he makes the decisions, not me."

So, everyone turned their attention to Li Chengqian again.

"The title of King of Han is good. Let's do as Xiang'er says." Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

After unanimous approval from everyone and Li Chengqian, Li Ke's new title was finalized.

The title of King of Han is actually quite good, provided that we exclude Li Yuanchang, who was previously named King of Han but had a less than perfect ending.

Of course, in this Zhenguan...the first year of Yonghui, Li Yuanchang had long been forgotten.

Who would talk about a dead person when they have nothing better to do?

Compared to Li Ke who obtained a new title, it was obvious that Li Chengqian was the happiest one.

After all, his visit to Lizheng Hall this time also confirmed that he was indeed the emperor with real power, and not a puppet created by his father, Old Li, to build up a reputation for himself.

Come to think of it, if one had to deal with government affairs before becoming the emperor emeritus, and after becoming the emperor emeritus, then wouldn't his role as emperor emeritus be in vain?

After receiving this signal, Li Chengqian's ambitions reached a new peak. He now felt that he should do something drastic and decisive, at least to leave a name in history.

This is not wrong. After all, when we mention Li Chengqian, we can't say that he is the son of Li Shimin and the father of Li Xiang, right?
It's not a good thing for him to say.

Now that you have decided to do something, you must do it seriously.

Li Chengqian began to study government affairs in the Xuanzheng Hall every day without sleep and forgetting to eat, trying to find an angle that would be suitable for him to carry out drastic reforms.

It would have been fine if he had just been busy alone, but he also had to bring along Du He and Zhao Jie, two of his close ministers from his time in the palace, and the three of them spent every day in the Xuanzheng Hall.

In view of Li Chengqian's criminal record, Empress Su Yi even suspected that Li Chengqian would relapse after becoming the emperor and extend his evil claws to his brother-in-law and cousin.

In order to find out whether her husband's old illness had relapsed, Su Yi personally delivered meals to the Xuanzheng Hall every day these days.

Fortunately, after several surprise attacks, Su Yi finally discovered that it was not that Li Chengqian's old illness had relapsed, but that he had asked two close ministers to handle government affairs.

"Da Lang, although government affairs are important, don't forget to eat well." Su Yi wiped the paper scraps off Li Chengqian's face with concern.

Li Chengqian did not reject his wife's kindness. He smiled at Su Yi and said, "I have just ascended the throne, and it is time for me to show my abilities. Father left me a prosperous Tang Dynasty. Of course, I must do a good job, live up to Father, and leave a better Tang Dynasty for Xiang'er."

"You have to eat though. Xiang'er once said that man is like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry." Su Yi said softly.

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Qing." Li Chengqian put down the memorial in his hand with a smile and called Du He and Zhao Jie to come over for dinner.

After all, Du He's emotional intelligence is still high. Seeing that the queen had made four or five trips in three days, when she was about to go back at night, Du He also advised Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty, don't overwork yourself in government affairs. You have to go back to the harem when you should." Li Chengqian accepted Du He's persuasion and did not stay in Xuanzheng Hall that night, but returned to Lingqi Hall to accompany the queen.

Seeing Li Chengqian finally return to Lingqi Palace, Su Yi was a little surprised, but more delighted.

"Da Lang, have you finally finished the government affairs?" She stepped forward, helped Li Chengqian take off his cloak, and handed it to the palace maid beside him.

"No." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "But I do have a preliminary idea of ​​what to do next."

"Really?" Su Yi looked at Li Chengqian with a smile.

"Of course." With the beauty by his side, Li Chengqian felt a sense of mission: "I can already foresee that the new future of the Tang Empire - the grand blueprint of the Yonghui Dynasty will soon be revealed in my hands."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian stroked his chest with one hand and stretched out his other hand forward, looking deeply at the other and saying, "Sometimes, in our great country, responsibility will fall on one person, who will lead the Tang Dynasty out of the valley of shadows and towards the sun-drenched highlands of peace and prosperity—"

I don’t understand it, but it feels so high-end. This was Su Yi’s reaction.

This does not prevent her from giving him an admiring look at the right time. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, that's enough of her admiration.

Even Li Chengqian was not immune to such looks.

The next afternoon, this sentence was passed on to Lizheng Hall.

Coincidentally, these words were actually heard by Li Xi who was playing with building blocks in Lingqi Palace. The little girl has no other advantages, but her memory is first-class.

Li Xiang had someone make these building blocks for her to play with.

Li Xi and Li Wushuang have a very good relationship. After all, the aunt and niece are of similar age, they usually play together, and they can talk about anything.

What Li Chengqian said was really great. Although it seemed like he was hitting a wall, it was still very impressive.

At least Li Xi, who didn't know the truth, suddenly felt that Ye Ye's image had become more majestic.

When they got up in the morning, since Su Yi was still busy tidying up the harem of Daming Palace, Li Xi was taken by the palace maid to play with Li Wushuang.

After arriving at the Eastern Palace, Li Xi imitated what Li Chengqian said yesterday to Li Wushuang.

But she imitated Li Chengqian very well, and imitated Li Chengqian's passionate posture of stroking his chest with his hands perfectly.

Li Wushuang clapped his hands and praised Li Xi for what he said.

Soon, Li Mingda and his three brothers came to the East Palace, intending to take the children to Lizheng Hall to play.

Just now in the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin was mumbling to them, saying that he missed his two children and asked them to go and pick them up.

I originally planned to pick up Li Wushuang first and then go to Daming Palace to pick up Li Xi. Unexpectedly, Li Xi was in the East Palace, which saved me trouble and I didn't have to make another trip to Daming Palace.

After all, although the East Palace and the Daming Palace are very close to each other, it still takes a while to walk there.

After arriving at the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin held a child in one arm, which seemed like a dual-wielding violent battle.

With a granddaughter on the left hand and a great-granddaughter on the right hand, this kind of family happiness is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

After being held in his arms, Li Wushuang pulled Li Shimin's beard, and amid the laughter of Old Li, he said to Li Xi: "Aunt, can you learn that again?"

"Which one?" Li Xi was stunned by the question.

"That's it - the grand blueprint of the Yonghui Dynasty. Grandpa is so awesome!" Li Wushuang said with stars in his eyes.

Hearing Li Wushuang's words, Li Shimin smiled and asked, "Oh? What grand blueprint?"

"Oh, that's what Grandpa said yesterday." Li Wushuang laughed, "Or Aunt Xi and I just learned it."

"Then Xixi, try to learn it." Li Shimin looked at Li Xi with a smile.

Li Xi cleared his throat and imitated Li Chengqian, stroking his chest with his hand to show his strong aspirations: "I can already foresee that the new future of the Tang Empire - the grand blueprint of the Yonghui Dynasty will soon be revealed in my hands."

"Oh, that's good." Li Shimin said with a smile: "Gao Ming actually has such great ambitions. It's worth my painstaking teaching back then."

At the same time, Li Tai and a few others also came over.

After hearing what Li Xi said, Li Tai curled his lips slightly.

Him? My elder brother?

Tsk.

"There's more, there's more." Li Wushuang waved his little carrot arms.

"Ahem." Li Xi cleared his throat and continued to act compassionately: "Sometimes, in our great country, responsibility will fall on one person, who will lead the Tang Dynasty out of the valley of shadows and towards the sunshine of peace and prosperity—"

Li Shimin: No, haha.

This sounds interesting at first, but the more I listen to it, the more it hurts my ears!
Good boy, what does Valley of Shadows mean?
In your eyes, my Zhenguan Dynasty is the Valley of Shadows?

Although Lao Li was still smiling, his smile had gradually become hideous.

But considering that the children were all there, Old Li retracted his smile, coughed twice and said, "It seems that your father really has such ambitions, which is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Tai poked and poked Li Zhi, and whispered: "I think my elder brother is getting carried away."

"Is it floating?" Li Zhi replied in a low voice: "Brother, you are not a kite, how can it float?"

Li Tai:......

Good man, you are really a master at pretending to be confused.

"What are you two whispering about?" Li Shimin lowered his head and glanced at Li Tai and Li Zhi who were whispering.

"Nothing." Li Zhi said quickly, "Second brother was just asking me if I wanted to play cards with him."

"At such a young age, you indulge in pleasure every day. How can you be so shameless?" Li Shimin glared at Li Zhi and said, "Can't you learn from your elder brother?"

"What should I learn from him?" Li Tai muttered, "Learn the Valley of Shadows?"

You know what, Li Tai was very professional when it came to applying eye drops to Li Chengqian.

After hearing this, Li Shimin took a deep breath.

But considering that his granddaughter and great-granddaughter were still around, Li Shimin decided not to argue with them.
