RemonstranceMother, no, no matter how difficult the country is, he cannot use the queen's jewelry
"But Li Wei was very happy. After more than nine years of hard work, his mother finally looked back, even though he had done a lot of hard work. This is not easy to come by.
"Idiot, the pacification of Qinghai is a matter of our Tang Dynasty. As for the jewelry, when the time is better in the future, I will transfer it from the treasury to the Ai family."[]
"The Queen Mother is wise and wise", all the ministers praised her together.
This move by the Queen Mother is very positive, and it is not a small amount of money. With more than five million yuan at a time, the financial pressure will be relieved a lot.
"Mother"
"If you feel sorry for me, I will accompany the Ai family to visit your father today during the winter solstice, and I will go to Dongdu next year. I haven't been there for a long time, and the Ai family is getting old. Sometimes I miss the scenery and things there."
"I will definitely obey. If the weather is good next year, I will accompany my mother to Pengshan Mountain."
"That's fine."
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please give me your advice," Wang Zhu said. Qinghai made him into a mess, which was intentional by Li Wei. However, after the explosion of Lun Qinling, he no longer had the need to stay in Qinghai. Soon after Wang Fangyi was dispatched, he transferred him back to the capital and served as the Minister of Rites. Although the official was noble, the responsibility was light. Let him dawdle.
"explain."
"I think that the pacification of Qinghai is the greatest prosperity for the country. Therefore, I think that your majesty can choose a good time to execute Zen Taishan."
Song Luo didn¡¯t object.
"Feng Chan requires martial arts and martial arts, but the martial arts and martial arts in the past ten years are rare in ancient and modern times." Under such a great rule, if Feng Chan is not granted, future generations will be embarrassed to call him Feng Chan.
Wu Zetian was also moved and said, "What Wang Qing said makes sense."
Li Wei shook his head and said, "It's inappropriate. Feng Chan is too wasteful and harasses the people. The country seems to be in good governance, but there are still many problems that have not been solved."
Having said this, I looked at the map. The current territory of the Tang Dynasty is really large, and the inclusion of Qinghai makes the territory even larger than it can be. If the areas circled by Haike are included, it may exceed the area of ??the later Soviet Union.
But what about reality?
Lingxi is just a restraint. Either promote Chineseization, many people can now speak Chinese. In fact, it is not because of the distance. If we can expand the territory and take Fars into our hands, Dashi will be helpless. But Li Wei didn¡¯t want it anymore.
The Western Regions have done better. As Han and Hu gradually mix together, it is possible that this area will become the real territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and now it is only half of it. Qinghai has done better, but it still needs to work harder. I can only say half of it. If Lingxia and other places immediately evacuate Tuyuhun, and then relocate the people of the Central Plains, there will no longer be a place where the constitution of Xixia was properly managed in history and could truly satisfy the Tang Dynasty. The six towns are also doing better. But there is still one problem that has not been solved, the Khitan people. They have not passed it, and it is not easy to drive them to the prairie. These Khitan people and Xi people will also have headaches. Liaodong is only the coastal area.
Lingnan and Jiaozhou are doing very well. But in the Nanzhao area, only a small half belonged to the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention the desert.
It can only be said that one-third truly belongs to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This great integration process can only be truly completed if the weather is smooth for at least a hundred years, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and everyone is a British master.
The larger the territory, the more hidden disadvantages.
He returned his gaze and said, "You can't be complacent. If you want to worship God, you don't want to be a monk, but you want to find ways to make the country more smooth. The government is harmonious and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is what God wants to see most."
"Your Majesty, that's right," Song Luo said. No matter what methods Li Wei used, in this era, the emperor still had supreme power. As a direct minister, I naturally hope that the emperor will learn to exercise restraint. Even if they only wear linen robes and eat vegetarian dishes for three meals, they may still say that they still need to work harder.
But deep down in his heart, Song Luo also believed that the emperor had done a good job.
"Lian also wants to see everywhere. Everyone says that Jiangnan has become very good now, but Lian has never visited. However, Lian is the emperor, and he will mobilize troops no matter where he travels. I have to wait. I will know more about it in the next few years. I, my disciples, will make further observations and determine the candidates for the East Palace. After a few more years of training, when the couple is old, they will travel in simple clothes like their mother did, spend a little money, and see the mountains and rivers all over the world. 1.
"Your Majesty," all the ministers have sour eyes.
"You don't have to be like this. With the great power you have, you have to bear the great responsibility. As the emperor, if you don't take the lead and set an example, what can I say about you? But you have also worked hard over the years. Just because of the mother's kindness, all ministers, please enter the palace Let¡¯s have a feast.¡±
This mealThe monarch and his ministers gathered together happily.
Qianling and his entourage also became very spartan due to the tight treasury, so much so that Wang Zhu finally complained: "Your Majesty, any more frugality is not in line with etiquette."
However, this and simplicity are very popular among the people. Starting from August, this battle lasted for more than a month, and there were six major battles in total. There were countless small battles, and the number of soldiers who died was more than the tragic battle in Qinghai more than ten years ago. The war became the one with the most sacrifices of soldiers in the history of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The sound of crying spread from Guanzhong to Jiannan and Qinghai, all the way to the Western Regions and Lingxia. But there was nothing to complain about. Even the Queen Mother in the palace took out the jewelry and gave them money. But this battle brought huge benefits. It not only completely occupied Qinghai, eliminated the major worry of the Tang Dynasty, but also captured Zishan Pass. The threat of Tibet was reduced, and the military pressure on the rear was also reduced.
Then another order was issued to reduce the army by half and return the troops to the people. Although the government soldiers are exempted from taxes, the most important labor force is taken away, and they have to go to the battlefield from time to time, which puts their lives in danger. Therefore, after this decree was issued, there was a cheer from Qinghai to the Western Regions.
?Then the second order came. All those who were forty years old, except for the military officers of the imperial court, were exempted from military service. At the same time, they continued to be exempted from taxes for ten years in order to consider the country's kindness.
It was then that Hei Te Changzhi and Qi Xinming returned to the capital and resumed their duties as Generals of the Left and Right Yulin. In fact, both of them were old, and this position was given to them for their enjoyment.
Although Lu Shi didn¡¯t come, Gongren did.
Li Wei summoned him in Tai Chi Palace.
Looking at the letter in his hand, he asked: "I heard that you actually fought to a draw with General Black Teeth in Qinghai."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare. General Black Teeth is already old and I am in the prime of life." Speaking of which, General Black Teeth is not as brave as me.
"That's not bad." Ji Jing looked at the letter and asked, "Do you know why your father ended up like he did today?"
"My father was wronged."
"No, if he is a loyal minister, there is something we can learn from. Have you heard the story of me, the Duke of Ganwei? He became a general and became a prime minister. However, the greater the merit, the more low-key he is. Tubo has been in control of the country's affairs since your grandfather. In your Gar family, you regard Zanpu as a puppet. Regardless of whether he has any antagonism or not, the Queen Mother of Tubo did not make a mistake in killing your father. This is the way to be a minister. When I came to Taizong, your grandfather was the king. I respect you very much. But in order to gain fame and fame, your grandfather repeatedly invaded our Tang Dynasty. If your grandfather still had some intention of serving the country, and in the hands of your father, even if he had the intention of serving the country, he could not be called a loyal minister. I mean Do you understand? If you don¡¯t understand the way of a monarch and his ministers, no matter how brave you are, I will not use you. Of course, if you come to join our Tang Dynasty, I will not kill you. I will arrange for your tribe to settle somewhere. .¡±
"I don't quite understand." Lun Gongren was very unconvinced. My Gar family has done so much for Tubo, yet they suffered such a vicious attack.
"You don't understand, so I can't say anything. Not only your father. [uCheng Wuting, he is from the Central Plains of our Tang Dynasty, and he is a rare handsome man. In terms of military talent or personal bravery, he is only above you. Not only him, but also Some people, such as Linghu Zhitong, Zhang Duxun, Qiu Shenqin and other generals, were chosen at the moment. Just because they lost their duty as ministers, we jointly killed them all."
"I will definitely be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty." I finally understood the meaning of Li Wei's words.
"That's good. There is one more thing that Lian also wants to tell you. We used to be enemies, and life and death were mutually exclusive, which is reasonable. But if you want to be our Tang general, you have to think for me. This is the transformation between the enemy and ourselves. For example, your father and I talked about drinking twice, and both wanted to kill each other, but we cherished each other. Another example is your Tubo Queen Mother, although she used your father's body in exchange for our army to retreat, she repeatedly asked not to be buried properly. Your father¡¯s body. Do you understand what Lian means when he talks about this?¡±
"I understand that I have completely forgotten everything about Yi Fei."
"right."
But unlike in history, where more people of the Gar people escaped, including Lunzanpo, were resettled in Shazhou, there is no need for that now. A large-scale relocation happened to be carried out, and some places were cleared in Tongzhou to settle the five people brought out by Lun Gongren.
But regarding the arrival of Gongren, Li Wei was also worried about his own affairs with the Meulu family. After thinking about it for a long time, he went to the Daming Palace and said to Wu Zetian: "Mother, I have something that I cannot solve."
"What else can't you solve?" Of course, after so many years, the resentment gradually subsided. But even if the wealth of the Daming Palace is taken away, there will always be some resentment.
Li Wei stopped talking.
Wu Zetian found a place by himself and asked, "What's the matter? Let's talk about it."
"Mother, if Zanpu of Tubo is my son, what should I do?"
?"What are you talking about?" Before the words came out, his eyes were stunned and he asked in great surprise: "Why is Tubo Zampu your son?"
"I was guilty of this matter, because it was of great importance, so I didn't mention it to anyone else. That year, I was forced by Lun Qinling. I had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. It was the empress dowager of Tubo who came forward. She used her familiarity with the terrain and internal support in the army to bring Erchen to life. In that half year, Erchen and the Queen Mother of Tubo had a child. It happened that Tubo Zampu passed away, so he used Erchen to marry her. The child pretended to be the son of Manson Manzan.¡±
¡°That¡¯s ridiculous.¡±
"It's a bit ridiculous, but it happened. Including this arrangement of the Tubo people, the son-in-law conspired with the Tubo Queen Mother."
Wu Zetian remained silent for a long time.
Anyone who knows the truth about this matter will be shocked.
After a while, he said: "Including your disappearance in the Western Region more than ten years ago, was it her idea?"
This idea is very sinister. It would not have come up with it by his son, and even Pei Xingjian might not have been able to come up with it. I have always been puzzled, and today I finally know the answer.
"Mother, how many years have passed, there is no need to mention it."
Wu Zetian still wanted to say it, but in the end she endured it. If Lu was having an affair with her son, she was having an affair with herself. How could she not help her son? The matter has passed, and the son will soon move the inner palace into the Daming Palace, and the family will be reunited. There is no point in bringing up the past. After thinking for a while, he said, "I heard that she is coming to Chang'an."
"Yes, soon."
"She's probably here because of this. If she doesn't come, it means she's not affectionate. Then for the sake of the country, even your son can't care about it."
"But she's here."
"Yes, there is another thing. It would be easier if she comes to Chang'an with her son."
If this really happens, Li Wei won¡¯t have to worry anymore. Once they come to Chang'an together, Tubo will definitely be in chaos. He would rather stay a few more years and use the opportunity to support several forces and let Tubo disintegrate into small tribes. Then what threats will Tibet pose? No Lushi would not do this. When she came to Chang'an, she was just a concubine in the harem, and her son was a Prince of Taiping, so she was obviously unwilling to accept it.
But if you don¡¯t reveal the truth, what¡¯s the difference between it being your son and not being your son? This is where things get difficult.
