140. The daddy's title (Part 2)
When Jing Wen heard Fang Yizhi say that there was something wrong with the title of fief, of course he had to care about this. The fief can be said to be the most important thing, which is related to how much benefit he can get in the future. Jing Wen has a fief of 300 households, which can allow him to obtain corresponding taxes. Although Jing Wen doesn't care about the money, mosquito legs are also flesh! This 300 household fief represents that Jing Wen is a small shareholder of this country, so Jing Wen also needs to care about it.
"Brother Jing Wen, look at the place where this fief is Dingxiang County!" Fang Yizhi said.
"Dingxiang County? Is there any problem?" Jing Wen asked back.
"Do you know where Dingxiang is?" Fang Yizhi asked.
Jingwen shook his head and showed that he didn't know.
Fang Yizhi explained: "Dingxiang County is located in Yunzhou. Yunzhou is located in the north of Taiyuan, close to Taiyuan, the place where Longxing is located!"
Jing Wen still asked ignorantly: "Isn't it good to get close to Longxing Land? This shows that the emperor attaches importance to me!"
But Du Gou also added, saying: "My brother Jing Wen, you can't just look at the place where the dragon rises. The key is to see where Dingxiang is located and who is in his hands!"
"Oh? Is there any explanation for this?" Jing Wen asked.
This is not that Jing Wen is too stupid. Jing Wen was just a novel otaku who had a half-understanding of history in his previous life. Much of his historical knowledge was obtained from novels, so what he knew was not very comprehensive. He only knew important national events, but he didn't know much about the specific details. Dingxiang County is just a county-level unit, and there are probably very few records in historical books. Therefore, Jing Wen didn't know what was wrong with Dingxiang County.
"Let me tell you something! Yu Wen and forced the palace of Emperor Yang of Sui in Yangzhou, and then made himself king. Afterwards, Emperor Yang of Sui, Empress Xiao, the queen of Emperor Yang of Sui, took some royal families of the Sui Dynasty, and left the old and young men to surrender to the Turks. Kedun of the Turks, which is equivalent to our queen, is actually a royal family member of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui appointed a royal family girl as a princess, and then went to the Turks to marry him, which was Princess Yicheng. At this time, when the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, they went to surrender to this Princess Yicheng." Fang Yizhi explained.
"What's the matter with this? Is there anything wrong with my family being destroyed and marrying sisters? The relatives and friends of ordinary people still flirt with each other, this is nothing!" Jing Wen said.
Du Gou immediately explained: "The problem is here! The Princess Yicheng not only accepted their surrender, but also wanted to support the restoration of the Sui Dynasty. They took advantage of the chaotic times of the Central Plains, so they supported the royal family of the Sui Dynasty and the old and young masters to establish a court in a place north of Taiyuan. This so-called court not only had hundreds of officials, various ceremonial guards, and was the same as the original Sui Dynasty. However, they were all puppets held by the Turks and had no actual power at all. The Turkic Khan also brought Turkic nobles to establish a palace here, which was their accompanying capital. As for this place, it was..."
After hearing Du Gou's words, Jing Wen immediately understood and said furiously: "Is this place Dingxiang County? What do you mean is that my fief Dingxiang County is still in the hands of the Turks?"
"Yes! Dingxiang is in the hands of the Turks, so Brother Jingwen, your fief is actually not there. Because your territory is in the hands of the enemy, how can you go to collect taxes?" Fang Yizhi said.
Jing Wen immediately had nothing to say, Li Shimin was too unauthentic. Dingxiang was clearly in the hands of the Turks, and the enemy established a palace, but Li Shimin actually gave this title to himself? Isn’t this equivalent to giving him nothing, just giving him a vague title? And this will not be ridiculed in the future, saying that he is a lord who has no territory and has been occupied by others?
"Okay! No wonder the emperor is so generous. It turns out that he is just generous to others! I really suspect that the emperor's ancestral home is not Guanlong, but Shanxi!" Jing Wen said angrily.
"Oh? How do you say this?" Du Gou asked curiously.
"The emperor is so stingy!" Jing Wen said.
"Brother Jingwen, be careful with your words! Although this imperial edict is useless for the time being, it cannot truly take effect. But if one day the imperial edict recovers Dingxiang, then this imperial edict is still useful." Fang Yizhi said.
"Damn! It may take several years for the imperial court to defeat the Turks! Aren't I going to charge a few years of taxes?" Jing Wen said.
"What? Will it take several years? Aren't we going to fight a long-term tug-of-war with the Turks?" Du Gou asked.
Du Gou obviously didn't expect that Jing Wen would "urinate" and said that it would take several years to defeat the Turks? In Du Gou's eyes, it would be a long-term tug-of-war. How could he be defeated within a few years?
And Jing Wen immediately said: "Don't take it seriously if you have a tongue or tongue! I'm just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously!"
As a time traveler, Jing Wen happened to know that the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan and severed the shame of the Wei River. People in this era had no idea that the court could defeat the Turks in a few years, and they all thought it was a long-term tug-of-war. Jing Wen almost leaked the news, so he corrected it immediately.
"Well, it seems that this fief will become real in three or four years! At that time, can the emperor still take it back?" Jing Wen thought to himself.
Jing Wen felt a little better because this fief can become real in a few years. And Li Shimin gave himself this territory that was still in the hands of the enemy this time, and the emperor could not take it back in those years, right? Anyway, if the imperial edict was retracted for no reason, it would be so detrimental to his prestige!
Li Shimin's meaning is probably very obvious, that is, he can not only give a reward, but also give the so-called reward without spending a penny. Even Li Shimin now doesn't know that the Tang Dynasty will defeat the Turks in a few years. Li Shimin now thought he would fight the Turks!
Li Shimin is not a god. He didn't know that there would be snow disasters in the Turks in a few years, and that was when he was sick and killed. At that time, the Tang Dynasty would completely destroy the Turks and relieve the border problems in the north. At that time, once the Tang army took back Dingxiang County, this edict would be used, and those fiefs would become real.
