But Li Shimin quickly recovered and silently thanked Heaven in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that Heaven had given him a smart, virtuous, and filial eldest grandson, he really wouldn't know how to solve the problem of choosing an heir in the Tang Dynasty!

"Yuanchang, we are brothers, how could I harm you?"

"The reason I'm sending you to Lingnan this time isn't just to exile you, but also to have you monitor the movements of the Feng family, the King of Lingnan!"

"When you arrive in Lingnan, do not give up on yourself. You must maintain good relations with the Feng family of Lingnan and serve as my eyes and ears..."

"When I wage war against Lingnan in the future, you will be the new King of Lingnan!"

"ah?"

Li Yuanchang never expected happiness to come so suddenly!

He may seem to have lost the title of King of Han, but he has the opportunity to gain the title of King of Lingnan!

You must understand that the King of Lingnan is far superior to him, the King of Han. He, the King of Han, can only govern a single county, while Lingnan is a vast territory spanning thousands of miles, with dozens of counties within its borders.

If I could really become the King of Lingnan, I would be laughing in my sleep!

"Second brother, I understand. I will not fail you!"

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, and his thoughts immediately drifted to Lingnan, a thousand miles away.

Although Feng Ang led twenty prefectures in Lingnan to submit to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's control over Lingnan was very weak, and much of the real power in Lingnan was still held by the Feng family.

Therefore, if Li Shimin wanted to completely subdue Lingnan, it was not enough to simply exile criminals; when necessary, he would have to suppress them by force and completely reshuffle the land.
