Chapter 91 Unprecedented in history, appointed as the two governors

Chapter 119 Unprecedented in history, appointed as the two governors

How powerful is the power of the Guangzhou Governor's Office?

There are more than [-] state capitals in Lingnan Road, and its jurisdiction includes all of Guangdong, most of Guangxi, southeastern Yunnan, and northern Vietnam.

This shows how big Lingnan Road is.

As the administrative seat of Lingnan Road, the Guangzhou Dudu Mansion governs [-] states and has a population of over [-]. It can be said to be the richest place in Lingnan Road.

If Li Chengqian had not made such great contributions before he was appointed as the governor of Qianzhou, then even if Li Shimin made him the governor of Guangzhou, the ministers would not object.

But now Li Chengqian is the governor of Qianzhou. If he is named the governor of Guangzhou again, he will be in charge of the two governor's mansions.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no one has ever been able to serve as the governor of two governor's mansions at the same time, because it is easy to support the army and self-respect, which is not conducive to the rule of the court.

You must know that even places like Jiaozhou can mobilize 8 people during the rebellion, while Guangzhou has [-] people and there are so many cities nearby. If the governor of Guangzhou rebels, it will be called trouble.

Originally, when Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to govern Qianzhou, the ministers objected.

As a result, Li Chengqian is now being named the governor of Guangzhou...

So next time, will Li Chengqian be allowed to govern Guangzhou again...

If things go on like this, the whole Tang Dynasty might as well be governed by him.

Wei Ting objected, naturally for the sake of King Wei.

Now that Li Chengqian has contributed one after another outside, Li Shimin is becoming more and more satisfied with him. If this continues, who knows whether King Wei can still become the prince?
Moreover, even if the king of Wei can ascend the throne in the future, but Li Chengqian occupies the two governors' mansions of Guizhou and Guangxi, and belongs to the feudal officials with high positions, how can Li Tai command Li Chengqian?
Seeing Wei Ting's refusal, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and when he was about to say something, Cheng Yaojin suddenly said in a loud voice: "Master Wei, what kind of ancestral system, my old Cheng can be regarded as the founder of the Tang Dynasty, although the culture The level is not high, but I also know the system of the late emperor."

"Your ancestral system, dare to ask which system it is?"

"King Qian has made such a great contribution, not to mention being named the governor of Guangzhou, even if he is named a king, he can afford it!"

Cheng Yaojin is the founding hero, with a detached status.

In the second year of Wude, Cheng Yaojin followed Qin Wang Li Shimin after he descended to Tang Dynasty, and was appointed as the left three commanding army.

Since then, Cheng Yaojin has successively defeated Song Jingang, Dou Jiande, and Wang Shichong, and led the left one horse army commander.

When the Xuanwu Gate changed, Cheng Yaojin copied a horse and opened the way for Li Shimin at the Xuanwu Gate.

So after that, Cheng Yaojin enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and his status was detached, even he and Li Shimin were called brothers, and he was the only one who dared to really brag in front of Li Shimin.

The two had a high degree of tacit understanding, even tacit understanding, Cheng Yaojin knew what Li Shimin was thinking when he saw Li Shimin's expression, so he who never spoke in court, unexpectedly spoke.

And after he stood up, Li Ji also stood up, "Your Majesty, I also feel that you can make His Highness King Qian the governor of Guangzhou!"

If the two top dignitaries both stood up, the others would certainly not just sit idly by and stand up one after another to express their views.

And they are all figures who have made military exploits. Although they do not participate in political affairs on weekdays, it does not mean that they have no influence. On the contrary, their influence is even more terrifying than civil servants.

Because they conquered the entire world, and although they no longer hold military power, their status in the army is unshakable.

Since ancient times, military generals have opened up territories and civilian officials have governed the country. Moreover, they all regard themselves as vulgar warriors and do not like to participate in politics.

Of course, Li Shimin was so happy, otherwise, an influential general in the army would also play an important role in government affairs. In this world, would the Li family still be able to sit still?

Besides, the generals are all violent, just like persuading, and although the civil servants are extreme, they are all hurting themselves.

And if it was replaced by generals like Cheng Yaojin, I'm afraid they would directly open their mouths and scold Li Shimin's family bloody.

Since the Zhenguan Dynasty, the generals rarely spoke out except when they were fighting abroad, and it was the first time that they took the initiative to stand up and speak for Li Chengqian like now.

But as soon as they stood up, the wind direction changed instantly.

The officials who originally supported Wei Ting all retreated silently, and in a blink of an eye, he was alone and helpless.

Wei Ting's mouth twitched, a bunch of unloyal guys.

Although no one supports him, Wei Ting is still unwilling to admit defeat like this.

He bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, the two governor's mansions are too much. You have already made Qianzhou self-governing. If you have the resources of Guangzhou, wouldn't the King of Qian support himself?"

"presumptuous!"

Li Shimin patted the dragon chair and shouted angrily: "Wei Ting, you are so brave!"

Wei Ting's words were indeed a bit embarrassing. Supporting soldiers with self-respect has always been a taboo for the emperor. If it is true, it will be fatal.

"Humph, Wei Ting, bah, what a waste of your good name!" Cheng Yaojin glared at him, and said angrily, "I tell you, my old Cheng is eating fast and reciting Buddha recently, and I don't want to lose my temper, otherwise, I will definitely lose my temper." Your beard has been pulled out!"

"... "

Hearing this, Wei Ting trembled all over his body, but his emotions had been brewed to this point, if he gave up halfway, wouldn't it be a waste of brewing?

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Duke Lu, I didn't intentionally target someone, but just felt that we should abide by the ancestral system!"

"Humph!"

Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly, and when he wanted to say something, Li Ji tugged at his sleeve.

Receiving Li Ji's reminder, Cheng Yaojin pouted, but did not continue.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that it may be possible to make His Royal Highness King Qian the governor of Guangzhou!"

When everyone was at a stalemate, Prime Minister Fang Xuanling unexpectedly stood up!
Wei Ting's face turned pale in an instant, and now even Fang Xuanling spoke up to support him, so what he said was meaningless.

In the end, he could only close his eyes unwillingly.

Li Shimin glanced at everyone.Slowly said: "Since even Fang Aiqing supports it, then it's decided!"

"From now on, Li Chengqian, the king of Guizhou, will be appointed as the governor of Guangzhou's governor's mansion, and concurrently as the governor of Guangzhou. Like Qianzhou, the court does not interfere with the government affairs of Guangzhou!"

"... "

Hearing Li Shimin's words, the ministers were shocked. They did not expect that Li Shimin not only appointed Li Chengqian as the governor of Guangzhou, but also like Qianzhou, the imperial court no longer intervened in Guangzhou's government affairs.

What on earth does he want to do, let Li Chengqian govern the two governor's mansions, hundreds of thousands of people, doesn't this make him a warlord of the separatist side?
But all the words have been said, since no one objects, we can only support it.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers shouted, but they began to calculate in their hearts.

The seed of Li Chengqian seems to have taken root elsewhere...

end of September.

The whole Qianzhou is busy again.

Because it's the sweet potato harvest season again, the previous [-] catties of sweet potatoes are now harvesting tens of millions of catties!

This time it may be that the quality of the fields is not up to standard, so there are only about 2000 catties per mu, but in the end, there are more than [-] million catties.

This also means that from now on, Qianzhou will no longer be short of food or famine!

Not to mention solving the food problem, Li Chengqian also exempted them from paying taxes for three years.

Within these three years, they can sell the surplus grain, and then Qianzhou will get rid of poverty and become rich...
