Wu Zetian knew her son's petty nature.
It¡¯s just that the grandsons are all grown up, and the women in the harem are competent. Even if something happens to him, the country's affairs will not fall into his own hands. So it was only now that she had moved to Daming Palace. []
I feel a little bitter in my heart.
But think on the bright side, changing your year name and wishing you longevity is a filial piety.
Besides, if a big family lives together, they can also join in the fun.
In recent years, in order to avoid being lonely, my son often sent his grandchildren to the Daming Palace to get closer. If we live together, I really won't be in a hurry.
Said: "Okay, you can figure it out."
He took a sip of tea and said, "Hong'er, you should give some thought to the matters regarding the East Palace."
"After my mother, some ministers have also come to remonstrate with me. I don't think they are children. Except for Lu'er, all the princes have not grown up and have unstable temperaments. The East Palace is the future prince of the country, and it is related to the country's important affairs. Children and ministers We have to be cautious. In ten years' time, we can see their mature character and talents, and we can also see several emperors and grandchildren. In this way, we can barely examine two generations. In fact, Erchen told Di Qing before , twenty years later, I will take the initiative to withdraw and abdicate, which can ensure the smooth transfer of the country's power and guide it for a few more years. The country will be able to transition smoothly. Or if the children are in poor health, arrangements will be made in advance. Queen Mother, Think about it, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, almost every generation of new kings who came to the throne has been bloody. Even like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the country quickly perished because of this. The harm was far worse than that of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others."
Wu Zetian could not say anything.
¡°Wu Zetian didn¡¯t believe these words ten years ago. But when he said these words ten years later, Wu Zetian couldn't help but not believe him.
Li Wei said: "Then I will go back to Tai Chi Palace."
"Okay, go ahead."
Qinghai in July is beautiful, with long grass and warblers flying, and the wheat is half yellow.
But because Wang Zhu became the general manager of Qinghai Dao, a series of bad things happened in Qinghai.
This matter started nine years ago, when the Tubo Queen Mother Meulu made Li Wei make concessions after a series of "painful" conversations. The two countries have reconciled again, putting aside disputes over disputed areas and living in peace. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo were not allowed to raise armies against each other for no reason, and the other was to open up trade routes and salt roads.
At the same time, he also won a bigger benefit. Li Wei adopted Wang Zhu's eldest granddaughter as Princess Xinhe and married Tubo Zanpu. In this matter, Wang's identity was not concealed and disclosed. A girl from the Wang family in Taiyuan is not a princess, she is also a princess.
¡°Only letting the Taiyuan Wang family marry their daughters, no one knows the reason behind it.
In the Tang Dynasty, when a princess was married off, even though she was a fake princess, she still did so in a grand manner. She was given a large amount of cloth, silk, tea, porcelain, scriptures, and money as a dowry. Even if there are no craftsmen and no Lu family asks for it when they are happy, Li Wei will not agree. If you want me to wear pants again.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: I'm afraid of you Tubo people. When Princess Wencheng got married, she married many craftsmen to teach you Tibetan people how to farm, weave, smelt, and make. As a result, after these craftsmen brought you earth-shaking changes in Tubo, they became lowly slaves and lived a life that was different from humans and ghosts. We disagree. If you want Tubo to truly live a good life, you must truly be controlled by our Tang Dynasty, instead of the current situation.
?????????????????????????????????????? off.
But this time the envoy did not win a huge reputation.
Wang Bo made sacrifices and won the opportunity to rise in the officialdom. He moved all the way to the left and was promoted to the third rank of Zhongshu's sect four years ago.
However, although he was good at writing articles, he fell short on government affairs. He made a mistake, and when the official saw it, he impeached him. So he was demoted to the general manager of Qinghai Dao.
It should be said that there is nothing wrong with this appointment.
After the two peace talks, the Tang Dynasty continued to attack, not to the south of Qinghai, but to station troops or move nomads to Haibei. There are very few fields in the village, mainly for grazing. Qinghai's horses are good because of the special weather, geographical environment, water and soil around Qinghai Lake, which produces good horses. Placing it in Hedong, the effect of raising war horses is more than 30% off.
Anyway, Hexi has become a wasteland, and the domestic environment of Tubo is very bad, but the Tang Dynasty continues to develop and become more and more powerful. The Tubo people did not dare to invade again. In fact, a few years later, the two countries basically formed a tacit understanding. The area north of the Red Sea and east of Fuqi City, that is, the east and north sides of Qinghai Lake, became the domain of the Tang Dynasty. The south side of Qinghai Lake, including Fuluochuan and Dafeichuan, is the territory of the Tubo people.
But that doesn¡¯t mean there¡¯s no crisis.
In this way, a large amount of pasture was obtained, but it became undefendable. Therefore, in the past few years, the position of Qinghai General Manager hasThey were held by good generals for a while, starting with Hei Chi Changzhi, then Wang Fangyi, then Guo Yuanzhen, Tang Xiujing, and then Luo Wuzheng.
After the Tibetan rulers and the pro-Tang faction gradually gained the upper hand, everything went smoothly for several years, and both countries relaxed a little. Wang Zhu was not a military commander, but his granddaughter was Zanmeng of Tubo. In a sense, he went to Qinghai to handle affairs between the two countries more effectively.
But Li Wei also neglected something.
Wang Ho is a child of a top family, and so is Wang Fangyi, but how many Wang Fangyi are there in the world? After arriving in Qinghai, I looked down upon some Tibetan people, including the Party members who were gradually becoming Sinicized. Therefore, the treatment was very unfair. He also made his own decision and changed the taxation. So over the past few months, many conflicts have accumulated.
The crisis has finally come.
The Tang Dynasty still didn't realize it. At this time, Li Wei issued an edict, which caused an uproar.
Silla fought back and forth with Japan, or asked the Tang Dynasty for help. Li Wei also made careful mediation and even sent a large envoy to the Japanese country to negotiate. Let Japan and Silla each take a step back, and Silla will mark off the southeast corner and compensate Japan. The Japanese also retreated from the mouth of the Han River, vacating half of the territory they occupied.
¡°As a result, the people of Silla are unwilling, so why should I cut off the land to compensate for it? Moreover, the southeast corner is my hometown of Silla people, and I cannot give it to the Japanese country at any cost. The Japanese country also disagreed. We had agreed at the beginning that whoever occupied the two countries would be in charge of it. Oh God, you cannot change your mind.
The reception was very grand, but in the end the envoys did not succeed in mediating, but they went around in a big circle in the Japanese country. After seeing the scenery and people in many places in the Japanese country, they returned home. In fact, first-hand information has been obtained. Moreover, in this line of work, Du Cheng, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, brought a big surprise to the Tang Dynasty.
Japanese noodles rice!
Rice has appeared in the Japanese country since the Three Kingdoms period, and the yield may not be very good. However, after it was gradually improved in the Japanese country, it adapted to the cold weather of the Japanese country. And the yield of rice will always exceed that of wheat stamps. Hebei and Hedong areas still cannot introduce rice. After all, the growth of rice depends on large amounts of water. However, there is no shortage of water sources in Liaodong. There are many rivers that will fall a lot of snow every winter. When spring comes, the rivers and mountains melt and the ice and snow melt, ensuring the water source.
This is also the product of Li Wei trying every means to improve grain seeds. People all over the world are looking for excellent crops and seeds to improve. So even the officials became very cautious. As a result, the cold-resistant rice seeds from the Japanese country entered the Tang Dynasty many years in advance.
This laid the foundation for the development of the Greater Liaodong Plan.
It has been tried in the Yanhuan area of ??eastern Liaoning. Each mu of land can only be harvested once a year, but the yield is close to two and a half stones. It's enough. If you improve it again, three stones will not be a dream either. But no one appreciates the love of Japan. How many good things has Japan received from the Tang Dynasty in these years?
When the mediation failed, Li Wei was furious and prepared to recruit 400,000 troops from across the country, build a thousand warships, and destroy the two hateful countries of Silla and Japan.
The whole country was in an uproar after issuing a statement.
Fighting against the Silla people is easy to understand and seems to be successful in three ways. However, fighting against the Japanese requires crossing the sea. Four hundred thousand troops across the sea? The three provinces were quickly filled with petitions from officials, common people, and scholars.
It¡¯s better to do a test and see what public opinion is.
Di Renjie found Li Wei and shook his head, "No, my consort."
"Don't take this instruction seriously But when we attack Japan in the future, even if we don't have 400,000 troops, we still need 200,000 to 300,000 troops. Only in this way can we have a deterrent effect. Otherwise, if we don't have enough people, we will fall into the quagmire." Not many people knew the inside story, and Li Wei suppressed these impeachment letters and refused to report them. So the discussion became louder.
This is what Li Wei asked for himself.
I welcome suggestions. Even if you are a commoner, as long as you have the ability and talent and make a good suggestion, I will reward you. Maybe after I see your talents, I can give you an official position. Therefore, many people have written letters in recent years. However, this is different from the style of secret reporting during the Wu Zhou Dynasty. Of course, most of them are just old talk, but there are occasionally a few good suggestions in between, and I have to adopt them one by one.
"The emperor doesn't blame us anyway. Maybe after a while he will wake up and reward us, so more people will write letters." The result failed to convince the emperor and forced the matter to be postponed. But some smart people can smell an unusual smell.
The power of the Tang Dynasty could not be increased. The west reaches as far as Markland, which is actually ungovernable. If a civil servant takes the road, even if the road is built now, he will not be able to reach his post within a year. The fast horses fed back the news about Marklan, but even if ten horses were killed, they couldn't send the news to Chang'an in less than four months. It's still a sunny day, but if there is ice and snow in winter, the time of harvesting will have to be postponed for at least two or three months. There is no way to govern! Have the ability to expand territory and governHowever, the theory restricts the space for expansion.
To the south are tropical rainforests, which are also being tossed by sea travelers, and to the east is the sea. After reaching Xiaohai in the north, it is even more bitter and cold. There is only the Northeast and Tubo. There is no way to get to the Tubo Plateau. The Northeast can be expanded. Therefore, the Tang emperor focused on Liaodong.
Xifeng Jianzhu looked at his brother and said, "Brother, what did the manager say?"
"Xi GUI shook his head and said, "He doesn't agree."
This is the first tribe of the Xifeng tribe to arrive in the west of Lingxi, and they live very close to the front, and further ahead is the Red Sea. Those who specialized in raising horses for the imperial court were exempted from all taxes because of the risks involved. After raising the war horses, the imperial court purchased them at market prices.
It is precisely because of this measure that Qinghai has continuously provided a large number of war horses to the imperial court in recent years. The lives of some Dangxiang and Han people who came to the west of Chiling also became better. One after another, some market towns and grass markets reappeared in Lingxi.
However, since Wang Zhu came to Qinghai, he changed the policy and officially imposed taxes. The idea is good. The Tang Dynasty's treasury income is slowly increasing every year, but expenditures are also increasing. There are more people and more officials. First, there are more officials. A lot of money has been spent on various projects, and the state treasury is crying out for shortages every year. It¡¯s just a matter of not going to Qinghai. When I came to Qinghai and saw that these people were so wealthy, why couldn¡¯t they collect some taxes?
This made some people dissatisfied. Especially the branch like the Fine Seal Department, which is at the forefront and bears huge risks. We are grazing every day with our heads in our hands. Is it easy? So we made trouble, but it didn't work.
Xiguajianzhu added: "Why don't we write a letter to General Xiguilei?"
"No, I heard that he went to the West to fight in some country. He was tens of thousands of miles away and it would take who knows how many years to come back."
"Either our ministries recommend some elders to go to Chang'an City. Your Majesty is very wise."
Xifeng Gong was a little moved.
At this moment, a tribesman galloped over on horseback from afar and shouted: "The Tibetan army is coming."
"Don't worry, how many troops are coming?"
¡°There are so many, you can¡¯t even see them at a glance.¡±
"Gather the tribesmen and flee to the east of Lingdong on horseback. Don't take any property, including cattle and sheep." This was the original order issued by Li Wei. He was still afraid of the Tubo invasion, so he gave the order repeatedly when these tribes moved. Invasion, in one word, escape.
You can run away as fast as you can, leaving everything behind, and then the court will compensate you and give you a chance to regain your life.
