King Yuwen Weihan of Yan, brought Princess Li, into the palace to pay tribute to Ye Niang.

Yuwen Weihan's wife is of course Yuwen Wen and Yuchi Chifan (legal mother), and her biological mother, Yang Lihua, who must be ranked behind Yuchi Chifan in the order of paying respects.

Yuwen Weihan is newlywed, and the bride Li is outstanding in appearance and generous. Although she is not from a high-ranking family, she is the granddaughter of Shangshu Ling Li Yunxin. She is a powerful and worthy of the Prince of the Great Zhou.

Yuwen Weihan led his troops to the expedition last year, conquered Liaodong, won the victory, promoted the King of Yan, and then got married.

As the elder brother, Yuwen Weihan had to get married first. As the younger brother's prince Yuwen Weicheng could get married. So Yuwen Wen told the eldest son about his marriage and married Li Yunxin's granddaughter Li Yunxin as his concubine.

Of course, a royal marriage cannot avoid political factors. Yuwen Weihan is the son who Yuwen Wen has worked hard to train. Of course, he hopes that his son will be safe in the future, and the same will be true for future generations, so he must have a good wife to help.

But it cannot affect the status of the prince.

As the emperor, Yuwen Wen must consider the continuation of the dynasty. As the father, Yuwen Wen must ensure that his son has a good future, so he carefully selected his wife tribe for his sons to serve as a strong backing.

Li Yunxin is a vital official of the Qi Wang family, and Yuwen Wen always had to be wary of the third generation of Qi Wang Yu Wenli, so he had to win over Li Yunxin, and then to differentiate the old Yuan Cong of the Qi Wang family.

Even if Yuwen Wen did not intend to kill him, he had to appropriately restrict Yuwen Li and not give him any chance. This is a quality that the superiors must possess and has nothing to do with personal morality.

However, he could not let Li Yunxin's granddaughter become the crown princess because this was a serious threat to imperial power.

As for the identity of "emperor", the emperor is a lonely person, without relatives, and a lonely animal of power. Even the queen and the prince are enemies that the emperor must beware of.

The throne will belong to the prince in the future, but not now. According to that sentence, it is: If I don’t give it to you, you can’t rob it.

The emperor must be wary of the prince taking risks in order to get ahead of time, so the prince should not marry into the important ministers, otherwise something will easily happen.

Based on the principle of checks and balances of power, Yuwen Wen chose to let the eldest son Yuwen Weihan marry Li Yunxin's granddaughter, which was the best of both worlds. Of course, Yuwen Weihan's other identity was a bit troublesome.

Should you choose to hide it or tell me calmly?

Yuwen Wen felt that children and in-laws always had to have contacts, and the identity of the mother-in-law could never be hidden, so he chose to reveal to Li Yunxin in advance that of course, this conversation was a secret conversation.

Yang Jian's daughter Yang Lihua, Empress Tianyuan, is still alive, and from the Empress Dowager to the Imperial Concubine?

Li Yunxin's first reaction when he heard this was, Yuwen Wen thought about it: Did King Qi know about this back then?

Of course, this was just Yuwen Wen's guess. Li Yunxin learned that his granddaughter's marriage partner was Yang Jian's grandson. Such a "surprise" made the old man speechless.

However, Li Yunxin is really honest about the emperor's openness and honesty: let the grudges of the previous generation disappear with the wind.

So, King Yuwen Weihan of Yan married the granddaughter of Shangshu Ling Li Yunxin as his concubine, and Yang Lihua was very happy about this.

The two brothers got married one after another at the end of last year. Yuwen Wen gave two heavy betrothal gifts, and now he is waiting to be his grandfather and hold his grandson.

At this moment, watching the two young couples paying respects to him and Yuchi Chifan, Yuwen Wen was in a good mood, and the uneasiness in his heart some time ago slowly dissipated.

Liaodong must be recovered, Goguryeo must be resolved, but to protect Liaodong forever, it is best to enfeoff the princes and then continue to operate the descendants. Don’t create any Bohai Kingdom, and you will not give Khitan and Jurchen any chance.

It is not necessary to regard the entire Liaodong as a feudal state, but it must reflect the dynasty's long-term will to manage Liaodong.

The best candidate for the eviction was of course the eldest prince Yuwen Weihan, and to be eviction, one had to have a vassal state. Liaodong was in Yan territory, so naturally it was entitled to the title of King of Yan.

What does the King of Yan mean?

It doesn’t mean anything to people of this era, but for Yuwen Wen, it is associated with a noun.

In the early Ming Dynasty, King Zhu Di of Yan raised an army to calm the crisis, overthrew his nephew, seized the throne, and the imperial system was transferred.

Yuwen Wen has been hesitating about the title of King Yan. He felt that with his own situation, the title was a bit unlucky: What should we do if the prophecy comes true?

Think about that scene: the prince who was trained to the painstakingly suddenly died young, and the elderly emperor lost his best heir and wanted to cry without tears.

The pain of losing his son turned into infinite hope for the grandson, so he made him the crown prince desperately. After the great ceremony, the young crown prince succeeded to the throne.

At this time, the King of Yan, who was in charge of the frontier and holding heavy troops, had no way to retreat.

The confidant of the new king believed that if the King of Yan was not eliminated, the country would be unstable; the subordinates of the King of Yan cried and begged, saying that every man was guilty of being guilty of being a treasure.

Will that scene "repeat"?

For countless days and nights, Yuwen Wen asked himself this, and he felt that the title of "King of Yan" was not auspicious.

Just as he did not let Li Gang be the prince's teacher.

Yuwen Wen did not want his prince to end up with Yang Yong and Li Chengqian, so he did not allow Li Gang, the "prince nemesis" in history, to be the prince's teacher; he did not want his son to meet his grandson in the future, so should he avoid it?

To be in charge of Yan, you don’t have to be the King of Yan, King of Wu, King of Wei, or King of Chu.

But Yuwen Wen did not choose to "avoid" in the end because it was boring.

His heir may not be the best, but he will definitely be the most suitable one. Whether it is a son or grandson, if he sits in that position, if he uses the power of the Central Plains, he will not be able to do anything to the mere border vassal kings and be killed by the other party...

What qualifications are such waste qualified to sit on the imperial throne?

Yuwen Wen thought it through clearly, it was meaningless to avoid it. What really happened will definitely happen. Even if he gave his son a good name for the prince, it would be useless in the end.

He did not let Li Gang be the teacher of the prince, so he was considered auspicious, just like opening a business to make a good start. As for the word "King of Yan", there was not so much attention.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen appointed his son as the King of Yan and placed high hopes for his son. This was the title of king, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, and it was so high that it was much higher than other titles.

He wanted to let the world know his determination to run Liaodong. Even if he did not grant the entire Liaodong to his son in the future, he would have to have a son guarding him there.

If the royal family leaves the town, it is easy to cause civil wars or even the "Eight Kings Rebellion". However, if the royal family is raised as a pig, it is easy to be taken away by others.

In this era, the continuation of the dynasty is easy to cause a situation where powerful ministers or relatives seize power and change the situation due to an accident. A more extreme example is that the empress dowager becomes the queen.

At this time, most officials are fencemen, and only the royal family will fight to the death.

The end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the unification of the world did not mean that the imperial power was as stable as during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Even if it was risky to reuse the royal family, it still had to be used.

How to grasp the degree is a very challenging problem. Yuwen Wen thinks it is ridiculous to solve it by just avoiding taboos.

But if you are addicted to the art of prophecies and divination, try to seek benefits and avoid harm, and protect future generations from wealth and honor forever. What is the difference between doing this and taking elixirs with severely exceeding the standard of heavy metals in order to survive forever?
