Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 437
There is indeed no need to directly destroy all these countries.

These countries that have been destroyed now have already caused a considerable burden to the Tang Dynasty.

This burden has already been mentioned before.

The current number of talents in Datang is far from enough.

A lot of energy has been spent on managing Datang internally.

Those conquered countries also need a lot of talents to manage.

I want to make all these places truly the territory of Datang.

It also requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

Only then can all these places recognize Datang's identity.

This all takes time and talent.

This is what the Tang Dynasty is doing now.

The development of these talents takes time.

otherwise.

Those countries that were conquered were still essentially independent.

Datang wants to manage, but it is beyond his reach.

The people who were sent to manage those places in the past also needed to be carefully selected.

At the very least, it is impossible to say that it is enough to send a few people there casually.

Send people past.

At least they have to be their own people.

In this case.They can rest assured.

It is not to say that these countries will all become independent under the leadership of these ministers in the future.

An important factor affecting their management of other countries now is communication.

This is the time limit.

The later Empire on which the Sun Never Sets was also affected by this aspect.

They sent a large number of troops to fight all over the world and gained a large number of territories.

These sites are naturally the sites of the empire on which the sun never sets.

But management.

It has indeed caused countless troubles.

The enfeoffment system is actually one of the ways to solve this problem.

But the facts have proven.

Enfeoffment is obviously impossible.

People are ambitious.

The enfeoffment system gave these people the capital to have breakfast.

If there is a chance in the future.

They will definitely have breakfast.

This is inevitable.

Even if these territories are entrusted to those vassal kings, it is the same to those princes.

In the future, Datang will definitely have only one emperor.

And what if the other princes are not happy?
Rebellion.

They have such a large territory and a lot of manpower.

The prerequisites for rebellion have already been met.

Of course they have the right to rebel.

A prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince.

This is normal.

Now Li Shimin is still in the prime of life.

There are no signs of this yet.

What about when Li Shimin gets old?
Although Li Ke does have strong strength.

The whole world also surrendered to Li Ke.

But that is abroad.

For Li Ke in China, there must not be so much awe.

Not to mention those princes.

Everyone is a prince, who is convinced?

Just like Li Chengqian.

Although Li Chengqian said that he has now been abolished as a prince.

He was also imprisoned in Chang'an, losing the possibility of competing for the crown prince.

But when Li Chengqian was still able to move freely.

No matter what achievements Li Ke made, Li Chengqian was not convinced.

He thinks he can too.

This is still Li Chengqian.

He was cultivated by Li Shimin since he was a child.

He has such thoughts.

Could it be expected that the other princes would not have such thoughts?

Like Li Tai.

Qingque has been favored by Li Shimin since she was a child.

He was named King of Wei.

Now the age is almost reached.

But it was never sealed off.

This kid will also be a strong contender for the crown prince in the future.

He also didn't have much confidence in Li Ke.

After all, it was in the palace back then.

Li Ke is the unpleasant one.

Although now Li Ke has achieved great results.

we can even say.

In the whole world, there is no one with better grades than Li Ke.

But Li Tai was still not convinced.

He and Li Chengqian had the same idea.

That is, if it were him, he could do it too.

Li Ke was just lucky.

He can even do better than Li Ke.

However, it is impossible for Li Shimin to release Li Tai.

After Li Chengqian's incident.

Li Shimin noticed the little thoughts of these princes.

Except for Li Ke.

He does not intend to release any other princes.

Although it is said to be released.

These princes don't have soldiers and horses, so they can't do anything.

But these princes couldn't hold back their arrogance and insisted on doing something.

Back then, Li Chengqian didn't have soldiers or horses in his hands.

However, as the prince, he forcibly ordered Longxi's troops to dispatch.

Would the gentry in Longxi dare to resist?
The results of it?
The result was that Li Chengqian was defeated and captured.

It became a joke of Datang.

If it weren't for Li Ke's magical soldiers descending from the sky.

I'm afraid that even Li Chengqian may not be able to come back alive.

Can kill a prince.

For the Turks, it is enough.

It can even be recorded in history.

and so.

In order to avoid such things from happening again.

Li Shimin's solution is to prevent all the princes from leaving Chang'an City.

Although this is very cruel to those princes.

But if it is really a capable prince.

Even in Chang'an City.

Still able to show his talents.

Moreover.

Li Ke alone is enough.

If there is really a prince, he will show extremely high talent and ability.

For Datang.

On the contrary, it is not a good thing.

Of course Li Shimin is not Li Yuan.

At the beginning Li Shimin performed so well.

Li Yuan is still more optimistic about Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin thought he was definitely not that kind of person.

He was indeed optimistic about Li Chengqian before.

It also gave Li Chengqian many opportunities.

But Li Chengqian couldn't grasp the opportunity.

Of course there will be no next time.

The same goes for the other princes.

Only show your own excellence.

In order to get the opportunity given by Li Shimin.

If they can really reach the level of Li Ke.

Li Shimin didn't mind giving them a chance either.

This Great Tang is now very large in scale.

He even thought about it.

In the future, Datang will be divided into two parts.

After all, the current Datang has made their management a bit laborious.

In the past, the territory of Datang was not so large.

Dealing with government affairs every day has already given Li Shimin a headache.

More government affairs now.

Li Shimin has no time to rest all day long.

If not for the help of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.

Li Shimin was afraid that he would die of exhaustion directly.

Now Datang's territory continues to expand.

Wait for those surrounding countries to be completely accepted by Datang.

Then things will be more.

Li Shimin felt a headache just thinking about it.

Further back.

Li Ke will definitely continue to expand outward.

At that time, maybe Datang can really let more princes participate in the management.

Datang's map is too big.

A prince may not be able to manage it.

This is the truth.

Leave it to your family to manage.

It's better to let those ministers manage it.

Can't count.

Li Shimin didn't think about it that much for the time being.

After all, leave it to other princes to manage.

It is very likely that someone will rebel.

This is normal.

Now Li Shimin doesn't want to think about that.
