As soon as the joint memorial was presented, it immediately attracted Li Shimin's attention and a meeting in front of the imperial court was held that day. Li Chao did not attend the imperial court meeting that day, but he still learned the situation quickly.

The emperor and the prime minister initially agreed with this plan. As Li Chao thought, Tochar was too far away from the Central Plains. At the imperial meeting, the emperor and the prime minister reached a unified opinion on the issues of the Western Regions.

That is, with Tianshan Mountains and Pamir as the boundary, south of Tianshan Mountains and east of Pamir Mountains, later it was the county and county of the court, and it was directly under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty officially set up this Western Regions as the Western Regions Road, established prefectures and counties, continued immigration and settlement, stationed troops and established military offices.

As for the places north of the Tianshan Mountains and west of the Pamir Mountains, it is the fiefdom of the princes of the court.

When it reaches the west, the Aral Sea was officially renamed the West Sea, which echoes the North Sea in the northern desert.

Tocharo and other places will be taken out to enfeoff heroes.

However, the court still needs to discuss how to seal the law.

Anyway, today is December 15th, and the New Year and New Year of the Court Meeting, and Li Chao, the Grand Tutor, also happened to attend the Court Meeting.

Early in the morning, outside the Tianmen, there were a lot of officials participating in the court. Today is a grand dynasty meeting, and many more officials attend the court. Many high-ranking and high-ranking officials like Li Chao also come to court on a routine basis.

"Congratulations to the Grand Master, I have taken two more villas and two concubines!"

As soon as Li Chao got off the carriage, Changsun Wuji smiled and stepped forward. The Duke of Wei was restricted in promotion because he was the emperor's brother-in-law. Li Chao was both the Grand Tutor and the Prince, but Changsun Wuji was still the Duke of Wei and the Situ.

"It's so early for the in-laws!" Li Chao also smiled and said that Li Chao's seventh son, the third son of the legitimate Li Qi, had been married to Changsun Wuji's second daughter.

The two of them chuckled for a few words and had nothing to say.

I don’t know when it started, but there seemed to be something wrong between Li Chao and Changsun Wuji. I can’t tell what the problem was. Although the two of them smiled on the surface, they knew in their hearts that each other was always incorrect.

"Although Wen Yuan is not the prime minister, he can control the court. With a memorial, Your Majesty summoned the prime ministers to discuss for a long time, and finally decided on the Western Regions strategy according to your proposal. To be honest, I really admire him. Wen Yuan, why are you so awesome?"

Changsun Wuji seemed to be unable to help but said to Li Chao. While he was talking, he looked at Li Chao, and his expression seemed to say his heart.

Li Chao smiled.

"In-laws, I am also a noble and marquis of the Tang Dynasty. I am close to the country. Although I am not in the court, I also hope that the Tang Dynasty will be strong and prosperous. In this way, I, the great and noble of the Tang Dynasty, will naturally benefit from it."

"Don't Wenyuan feel that Tianshan is already the best of the Tang Dynasty? It's too late to reach the north of Tianshan Mountain. Now I'm reluctant to give up Tochar and want to enfeoff. But if Persia or something comes in the future, will the court rescue those enfeoffers? How to save them so far away? Have you considered these issues?"

Li Chao disagreed.

"Duke of Wei, the Yanda people were just an affiliation of Rouran, and they could sweep across the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains and Tochar. The Western Turks were just brothers of the Turkic Khan who led their troops to fight the west, and they also captured the Western Turkic land, and even seized food from the tiger's mouth, swallowed the entire Tochar from the hands of the Persians."

"They can all, why can't the Tang Dynasty? Besides, those vassals have to rely on their own abilities when they have been enfeoffed. As long as they are united under the command of the court, the Persians are not afraid."

"Of course, this was also a benefit to the heroes. If the Duke of Wei was afraid of worrying, then at most, don't let his children be granted. If you stay in the Central Plains, there will never be any Persians attacking him."

Changsun Wuji was blocked by Li Chao's words, and his face turned a little dark.

Although Changsun Wuji is the national uncle, the Changsun family is also very large. His uncle Changsun Shunde also ranks high in the court, and he has four brothers.

Moreover, although Changsun Wuji was not as good as Li Chao's son, he had many children.

Changsun Wuji has twelve sons, and he is just in his early thirties. If he is hardworking, it will not be a problem to have twelve sons.

This ban was indeed a good opportunity.

After all, it was a free territory. The Changsun family had received several titles before, but there were so many sons that were not enough to share. Now that I have the opportunity, it is rare to get a few more territory.

He was a little surprised how Li Chao always took the lead.

The emperor wanted to use the territory north of the Tianshan Mountains to make a large-scale feudal feudal, and the news has spread all over the sky.

After Li Chao stood there for a while, many officials came over.

While they were greeting, they wanted to find out some information from Li Chao, or in other words, they hoped that Li Chao could help at critical moments.

Whoever has a lot of sons doesn’t want to get one or two more fiefs?

It is rare to have an opportunity. In front of the hereditary fiefdom, everyone is no longer so reserved.

"How to grant titles and titles depends on Your Majesty and the Prime Minister. Dear colleagues, it's better to ask my uncle than you, he must know more than me." Li Chao pushed Changsun Wuji out indifferently.

It was not until the palace gate opened that Changsun Wuji finally got out of trouble. He caught up with Li Chao and said angrily, "You Li Sanlang, I deserve you in my previous life."

"In-law, where do you start?" Li Chao said hehe.

Golden Palace.

The officials shouted long live the mountain.

"All my beloveds are not respectful!" Li Shimin raised his hands.

As usual, Li Chao sat on his magistrate chair, while Cheng Qian sat on the front of him. Cheng Qian faced his eyes and nodded to him.

This kid hasn't seen him for a few days and it seems a little different.

It seems to be a bit transformed. Well, it seems that after having a woman, it is really a big difference.

Li Shimin sat on the imperial chair, high above.

He glanced at Li Chao under the imperial stairs.

This thirty-year-old Taishi was wearing a dragon robe, sitting there looking at his nose and his nose.

But he is such a sharp knife, and he is simply invincible.

Although the sword is too sharp sometimes, Li Shimin is a little jealous, but you can't melt the sword just because the sword is too sharp, right? That's what the foolish monarch did. For Li Shimin, a generation of Tian Khan who was comparing to surpass Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and was about to be in Taishan Fengshan, such a knife is a killer move, and it would be better to hide it in the scabbard.

At the critical moment, drawing the sword out of the sheath can kill all directions.

However, Li Chao's sharpness is too sharp. Even if he is hidden in the scabbard, he cannot hide his sharpness.

This memorial surprised him again.

The land north of Tianshan Mountain in the Western Regions was too far away and beyond reach. Originally, Li Shimin's idea was to support Mo Hedu in the north of Tianshan Mountain and raise a Turkic dog to guard the gate for him.

Who knew that this dog was not honest and wanted to kill the owner for only three years, so he had to kill him.

But if the dog is killed, the court cannot control it by itself. Such a big place is really powerless. But Niu Jinda quarreled there every year and asked for soldiers and food. Where did the court get so many soldiers and food for him?

That is a bottomless pit, with in and out.

Li Shimin is ready to give up.

But Li Chao's memorial came over, which made his eyes lit up.

Enfeoffment.

A great honor for the hero.

This trick is indeed feasible. Before the clan was created, it was a few hits. Now, another feudalism can be used to calm their emotions. Another thing is that it is a real benefit for the court, but for the heroes.

After the imperial meeting ended yesterday, Li Shimin went back and chatted with the queen.

"All officials of the third rank and above in the court can all be granted a son as a viscount, and a viscount is granted a viscount in the north of Tianshan Mountain. All four and fifth rank officials can all be granted a son as a baron, and a baron is granted a territory. The territory is hereditary!"

This is the result of Li Shimin and the prime ministers discussing yesterday. To divide the feudal title, of course, it is necessary to give the imperial court officials, but most of the officials have titles. Therefore, this time, the feudal title for their children is just like the imperial court's choice of relatives and inner guards, which is a benefit to the senior officials of honor and relatives.

In addition, Li Shimin also considered the matter of the territory knight mentioned in Li Chao's memorial.

Give lords the rights to recruit territorial knights and grant lords manor land. Territorial knights are considered a low-level noble title and can be hereditary.

However, the knights have no privileges. As lords, their obligation is to prepare their own horses and equipment, to resist foreign invasions, and to train militias in the manor at ordinary times. Their power is to enjoy one-third of the tax revenue within the manor.

Of course, the knights recruited by the lords must be reported to the court first, and then formally enthroned by the court. In the future, when the knight's son inherits it, it will also be enthroned by the court.

To become a knight, the prerequisite is to have at least one hundred households, or five hundred. If you can recruit so many people to the territory, you are qualified to be recognized and enthroned as knights by the court.

Although the knights were under the leadership of the lord, they were also people of the Tang Dynasty.

With a population of 500, no matter whether you are a family relative brought from the Central Plains, a herdsman native recruited from the Western Regions, or a slave bought directly, as long as you have 500 people, you will have the prerequisite to become a knight. Then you will be accepted by a lord and pay a sum of money to the court, and you will become a formal territory knight.

The lord had land, and the territory knights and population, and naturally he could defend his territory, and the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty were stabilized.

As soon as the feudal method was announced, the officials in the palace were very happy.

This means that everyone has a share and every family can get another territory.

Of course, a family like Li Chao, which already has more than a dozen titles of princes, princes and uncles, means that they can get more than a dozen titles and territory at once.

Li Chao had eleven sons and titles, one county duke, three county dukes, three marquises and four earls, and seven were not awarded titles.

This time, as long as Li Chao is willing, all seven will be awarded. He is qualified to be one, and several sons can also give one to his younger brother.

The marquis is the third rank. A fifth rank can be given to his children. The Li family has a king, a county, a minister, three counties, and three marquises, and can be given to him directly.

However, Li Chao was still a little reluctant. The Western Regions were too far away, especially Tochar.

As a result, Li Shimin announced directly in the palace that Li Chao made contributions and specially ordered the title of the 12th and 18th sons of the Li family. All the seven sons of the Li family were awarded the Viscount of the founding kingdom and the Viscount of the Western Regions.
