"The territory of the Tang Dynasty is so vast that Goguryeo, Liaodong, will be destroyed in recent years, but the Tang Dynasty's governance of the local area is beyond reach. The weak water and soil in the south are not enough to be affected as long as they are favorable and powerful.

But even if Liaodong destroyed Goguryeo, if it could not be managed well, the Tang Dynasty would still be the source of chaos in the Tang Dynasty if it was a little weak."

Many civil officials couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

Two thousand years ago, Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, but was scolded two thousand years later, believing that the Chinese nation might have greater development if it does not build the Great Wall.

But I don’t know that the farming line is two hundred miles north and south of the Great Wall. If the climate is dry, you cannot plant crops within two hundred to the south from the Great Wall. If the climate is wet, you can still cultivate two hundred miles north of the Great Wall.

If China is strong and the climate is humid, it can naturally attack the frontier. However, once the climate becomes drought, all the farmers who farm here will inevitably withdraw. The troops stationed outside will become lonely, and transporting military rations and supplies will become a heavy burden for the Central Plains court.

This is also the fundamental reason why civil servants oppose infinite expansion of territory.

Now, these officials are naturally supportive when they see that Li Chengqian has begun to plan to govern Liaodong.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin thought for a moment and sneered: "I'm so arrogant. If I don't fight in person, when will you destroy Goguryeo? If Goguryeo is not destroyed, how can you govern Liaodong?"

Li Chengqian saw that Li Shimin was despised. He rolled his arms behind his back, raised his chest and shouted loudly at Li Shimin: "As long as I go to Youzhou for five years, I will definitely destroy Goguryeo and build an imperial Yandu for the Tang Dynasty to shock Liaodong."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he heard Changsun Wuji smile and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has only been in Youzhou for the past five years, and hasn't led his troops to Liaodong?"

Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji's eyes full of murderous intent and said in a deep voice: "If Youzhou is pacified, the Gu Wang can naturally go on a tour. Why does his uncle want Gu Wang Wang to stay in Chang'an?"

Changsun Wuji was really scared when he saw Li Chengqian's murderous intent again. No matter how trusted he was by Li Shimin, he could not touch Li Chengqian at all.

However, Li Chengqian had unconcealed murderous intent towards him. With Li Chengqian's means, he might be forcibly killed by Li Chengqian one day...

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji felt a chill on his neck, and he thought to himself that since you are all determined to go to Youzhou, I will let you go. Not to mention five years after leaving Chang'an, it's just one year... Humph...

Changsun Wuji's smile remained unabated, "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness is dedicated to the country and there is no danger, it is better to--"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was in the palace and threatened Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin was so angry that he smoked his seven orifices. He looked at Li Chengqian and said angrily: "I am still alive, do you want to be the leader?"

When civil and military officials heard Li Shimin speak in the tone of King Shan, they all quickly lowered their heads and dared not say anything.

Li Chengqian was about to succeed, but Li Shimin became a hooligan and was also very angry.

He shouted: "The Gu Wang went to Youzhou to take charge and build a Yandu for our Tang Dynasty. This is a major event that concerns the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty. How could the father make unreasonable trouble in this matter?"

"presumptuous!"

When Li Shimin heard Li Chengqian say that he was making trouble, he lit up with his fingers and said loudly.

"Look, he looks like a minister?"

The ministers looked up and saw the two men, one with a belly and the other with a chest erect, and both stood opposite each other with their hands behind their backs, which looked like two men who were lazy and scolded in the street.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is also dedicated to the country. If there is anything wrong, just teach me one or two." Changsun Wuji hurried forward and persuaded.

"I can teach him, but he teaches me almost the same. You have also heard it, what he said just now. What Fu Jian, and those who Dou Jiande can compete with me?"

"If the father thinks he is stronger than Fu and Dou Jiande, he should have given up the idea of ​​the emperor's personal conquest of Goguryeo." Li Chengqian retorted.

"You--" Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian for a while, and shouted loudly: "I will beat you to death!"

As he said that, he was about to beat Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness, you can say less today!" Gao Jifu hurriedly pulled Li Chengqian away from behind.

Although Li Chengqian was pulled apart, he refused to retreat because he did not achieve his goal and still looked at Li Shimin.

As soon as Li Shimin wanted to use force, many ministers in the hall hurriedly withdrew, but officials from the Secretariat and the court walked between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian and persuaded him to fight.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, don't get angry. Listen to my old Cheng." Cheng Yaojin hurriedly walked to Li Shimin and said with a smile on his face.

Li Shimin was blocked and did not see Li Chengqian. He thought Li Chengqian had left, and his chest was undulating slightly.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to build Yandu in Youzhou. According to my old Cheng, it is not bad-"

Before Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, Li Shimin stopped glaring at him.

"Don't speak for the rioters!" After Li Shimin said that, he was helped by Changsun Wuji and an eunuch to sit back on the throne.

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly followed and said with a smile: "I, old Cheng, are not speaking for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I, old Cheng, have worked as the Grand Tutor in Youzhou, and I also think that the Feng Shui there is not bad, and it can build a big city."

After hearing this, Li Shimin calmed down a little, looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked, "The Feng Shui in Youzhou is good? How is it a good method?"

Cheng Yaojin was speechless when asked for a while. He could only see that it was a place of beauty, and it would make it difficult for him to explain in detail.

"The land of Youzhou is surrounded by the sea on the left, Taihang on the right, Juyong on the north, and Heji on the south, and Chengtianfu's country." Li Chengqian, who was standing in the distance, saw Cheng Yaojin being stumped and chanted slowly.

Li Shimin turned his head and saw Li Chengqian still standing in the hall when he heard the sound. He couldn't help but say angrily: "Why is the stranger still here?"

Li Chengqian was stunned by the question, but this time Li Shimin was not confused, but waved his hand and said, "Come on the map of Youzhou."

These days Li Shimin has been studying the maps of Goguryeo, Youzhou and Liaodong in his study. After a while, the eunuch brought the maps of Youzhou.

When all the officials saw that Li Shimin and his son stopped arguing, they all dressed and looked at the map.

After looking for a while, Li Shimin asked Cheng Yaojin in detail about the mountains and rivers around Youzhou, and finally said quietly: "This Youzhou is indeed a place of beauty."

"Your Majesty, do you really want to build a city in Youzhou?" Changsun Wuji asked in surprise.

Li Shimin said angrily: "If I don't practice it, this vilified son must have practiced after he ascended the throne."

All the officials were very surprised when they heard this. The two men and women had a fierce argument just now and almost started fighting. Li Shimin had no grudges at all.

Li Shimin ignored all the officials and waved to Li Chengqian, and when Li Chengqian walked to the table and asked, "Youzhou already has a city and a large army stationed, what other city do you need to build?"

"Youzhou is now a military city. My sons want to build Youzhou into the second accompanying capital of the Tang Dynasty. The city needs not only soldiers, but also civilians, merchants and schools, so that it can become a place for talents to gather. Once the talents in Youzhou gather, it can naturally suppress the barbarians in Liaodong and the frontiers.

The barbarians on Liaodong and the frontiers were conquered with military power and cultural virtues. A hundred years later, there would be no more barbarians on Liaodong frontiers."

"A hundred years later, there will be no more Hu Yi in Liaodong Frontier..."

After hearing Li Chengqian's idea, Li Shimin couldn't help but repeat.

Li Chengqian knew at first sight that Li Shimin was indeed very interested in such a great achievement.

"Auxiliary, what do you think of Ma Qing's family?" Li Shimin turned to ask Changsun Wuji and Ma Zhou.

Li Chengqian knew that the matter had been mostly done.
