If the Tang Dynasty is in terms of its significance, there is no doubt that the first place is the imperial place, Chang'an, the capital of the country, Luoyang, which radiates to the Central Plains, and Taiyuan, the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty. Later, we can count Yangzhou, the salt and grain-heavy land that Li Ke once lived abroad, followed by Chengdu, Jiangling, Wancheng and other places.

Luoyang is only under Chang'an. Although it is not the most noble, it is just like Xiao Yuexian.

Because Li Ke used this to establish a title for Li Kun, Chang'an was the capital, and even if Li Kun chose Chang'an, it would be impossible. The title of King of Taiyuan already had King Jin Li Zhi, and Li Ke could not seize Li Zhi's title, so Luoyang or Yangzhou was Li Kun's best choice.

Luoyang is the Eastern Capital. When Li Shimin pacified the Central Plains, his General Tiance's mansion was once stationed in Luoyang. Yangzhou was the fief before Li Ke was appointed as the crown prince. It also has unique significance, both of which are excellent.

Just as Xiao Yuexian guessed, Li Ke asked Li Kun about this to make a title for Li Kun. Since Li Ke asked and Li Kun replied, Li Ke would not set it aside for Li Kun again, but instead seemed to be lacking in temperament.

Li Ke hugged Li Kun and smiled and said, "Okay, since Kun'er likes Luoyang, then the title of king you gave to you for your father will be set in Luoyang."

In fact, when Li Ke was still a prince, he was puzzled by many of Li Yuan and Li Shimin's practices.

Li Yuan had clearly named Li Jian as the crown prince, so why did he set an unprecedented precedent for Li Shimin as General Tiance, and even named him King of Qin, as well as the governor of Yongzhou, the Shangshu Ling, the Daxingtai of Shaanxi, etc., and he picked out any titles that could be so powerful that it was so scary that it was. Even the capital Chang'an was under the rule of Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin's power and desire for power rapidly expanded, causing the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

The same is true for Li Shimin. He was the emperor who seized the throne. He had already made Li Chengqian the crown prince early, but he still conferred Li Tai to the eastern capital Luoyang, Li Ke to Yangzhou, a place of money and grain, and Li Zhi to Taiyuan, a place of Longxing. Later, it also led to the change of ownership of the reserve position. Isn’t this a waste of chaos? These practices were once very puzzled by Li Ke.

But now it was Li Ke himself. At this moment, Li Ke understood the psychology and difficulties of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, because Li Ke himself was also in this situation and did not do anything better. He still sealed Li Kun in Luoyang.

It is true that the crown prince is the eldest son, but Li Ke owes Li Kun a lot, and they are all his beloved sons. How could Li Ke bear to be kind to this and be inferior to the other, and to make Li Kun the crown prince, and neglect Li Kun and the others?

So now Li Ke knows that this is inappropriate, but he still makes the same mistake and takes the same path as Li Shimin and Li Yuan.

Li Ke said, turned his head and asked Xiao Yuexian, "What does Xian'er think of King Zhou?"

Whenever the princes set their titles, they often used the titles of the kingly titles above the ancient fiefs. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was in Luoyi, and it was in the realm of Luoyang. Since Li Kun liked Luoyang, it was reasonable for Li Ke to give Li Kun the title of King of Zhou.

When Xiao Yuexian heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he hurriedly said to Li Kun: "Kun'er, Father is a king for you, why don't you thank your father for your kindness."

Li Kun is still young and doesn't know what King Zhou is, nor what it means behind King Zhou. However, Xiao Yuexian once carefully advised him that if Xiao Yuexian asked Li Kun to thank him, it would be a big deal and should not be careless.

Li Kun quickly jumped off Li Ke's knees, and according to Xiao Yuexian's previous teachings, he knelt in front of Li Ke in a good manner, and said to Li Ke: "Kun'er thanks for his father."

Seeing this, Li Ke picked up Li Kun again and said with a smile: "Why should father and son be too polite? Get up quickly, get up quickly."

Li Ke's smart ears and ears, especially the intrigues over the years, gave Li Ke a very keen sense. Although Xiao Yuexian's reaction only flashed by, Li Ke had noticed it.

Li Ke has always known and believed that Xiao Yuexian would never be a person who can be at peace with himself. She has ambitions and has always had them. Li Ke never doubts this because this is because Li Ke valued her so much. Because ambition is proportional to Xiao Yuexian's ability, Xiao Yuexian has great ambitions.

Li Ke was not afraid of Xiao Yuexian's ambitions, because all this was still under his control. No matter what Xiao Yuexian did, Xiao Yuexian was just doing it in the circle that Li Ke drew for her. If one day Xiao Yuexian really came out of the circle that Li Ke drew for her, Li Ke would naturally take control, and no need for others to say more.

After all, Li Ke himself is so upright, and he has come step by step. Power is like a big cake, a battle for the stock market, a battle for the court, everything revolves around the division of this cake. Li Ke knows this better than anyone else. The only change is that Li Ke goes from the person who competes for the cake to the person who divides the cake.

In the past, Li Ke naturally had many worries as a fighter, worried that he would lose more than one of them, and he would even lose his life because of it.

Although Li Ke has become the one who distributes the cake now, his concerns are still there, but his concern is no longer that he cannot distribute the cake, but that some people distribute the cake on his behalf, and some even want to seize the cake from him.

Needless to say, the person who Li Ke was worried that he might seize the cake from her hands was Wu Meiniang. Wu Meiniang had an innate love and pursuit of power and never stopped. In the past, when she was the Princess of Chu, she wanted to be the Crown Princess. After becoming the Crown Princess, she wanted to be the queen. Then she had become the queen as she wished. What did she want?

Given Li Ke's understanding and concerns about Wu Meiniang, Li Ke had to pay attention to some things and had to make arrangements early.

From the harem to the court, Li Ke needed someone who could compete with Wu Meiniang to check and balance her. Her family background, scheming, methods, and even her influence in the court was always inferior. This person was naturally Xiao Yuexian.

Xiao Yuexian is the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling. She has a good family background and is even better than Wu Meiniang. She has been in charge of the power outside the court for many years, and she has no shortage of methods and abilities. More importantly, Xiao Yuexian's biological father Xiao Xian is the old master of the emperor's master Cen Wenben. She was able to get close to Cen Wenben and gain great help in the court.

It can be said that Xiao Yuexian is the best candidate to check and balance Wu Meiniang inside and outside the palace. Only with the help of Xiao Yuexian can Li Ke check and balance the Wu family and Wu Meiniang to the greatest extent without breaking up with Wu Meiniang.

The emperor's mind is the most important thing to pay attention to the way of weighing the trade and weighing the way to support the weak and suppress the strong. Although Li Ke was unwilling to do some things, he had to do. This is the last lesson and the most important lesson taught by Li Shimin.
