"Actually, the old man has some ideas about Tuyuhun, in the fourth year of the Great Cause, the former Sui attacked Tuyuhun, although there were Xihai, Heyuan and other counties, but except for a very short period of control of the easternmost and smallest Heyuan County, the other counties were not completely controlled. Emperor Yang sent Fu Shun to manage the remnants, but when he arrived in Xiping, he could not advance and arrived, and had to return. As a result, just a few years later, Tuyuhun Fuyun not only recovered all the lost territory, but also attacked Heyou, and all counties could not resist it. Not only did they not lose much land, but they also took a lot of it. Cheng Qian, don't underestimate the mentality of the thief, you must know that not only Tuyuhun, but even Goryeo, isn't it also the four counties of Lelang that have been mixed up to the point where they are now? ”

Li Chengqian arched his hand and said: "What Uncle Huang said is that if you want to say that these small countries and the like are like locusts, you should kill them at the beginning and not give them a chance to speak." But then again, it seems that our land has always been secretly occupied, and we rarely take the initiative to encroach on other people's land, the arrogant mentality of the Celestial Empire is really not good, and we can be proud mentally, but in terms of behavior, it is actually better to play hooligans. ”

"Hahahaha! That's interesting, that's right, we can be proud mentally, and we really have to be hooligans in behavior. ”

After laughing, Li Xiaogong's nose twitched twice, opened the small cabinet casually, and sure enough, he saw the wine jug in the drawer next to the small stove.

"Hehe, thank you Your Highness for the wine."

Arching his hand, Li Xiaogong bit the spout of the pot and drank it to his mouth, which was very rogue.

Seeing Li Xiaogong like this, Li Chengqian also laughed. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaogong quickly did so.

Just like Li Xiaogong drank wine, and Li Chengqian was embarrassed to say anything after listening to the words "give wine", the Central Plains Dynasty has always played the role of a local tyrant. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, as long as the kings, chiefs, and patriarchs of small countries in remote areas pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty, they will receive extremely rich rewards, and their rewards are so rich that they are enough to make the entire tribe eat and drink for more than ten days without doing anything.

When the "boss" is a primary school student like this, he slaps his swollen face and fills up with fat, obviously his own people have not eaten enough, but he is like a father and mother to outsiders. However, those ministers, and even the emperor, probably did not realize this. They are immersed in the glory of the so-called kingdoms coming to the court, and they look forward to being able to shine in the annals of history with this brilliant history.

Li Chengqian, who came from later generations, can tell them very responsibly that they have done it, and Zhenguan is prosperous, even in the history books of junior high school, it occupies a large space. However, he, a later generation, saw this so-called "Zhenguan prosperous age", but he just wanted to complain. At least until now, he didn't see where the prosperity was. Frightened that foreign enemies do not dare to attack, the officials don't have to take food to make up the numbers, even if it is a prosperous era?

You must know that even the people around Chang'an still live a life of drinking and eating dry when they are busy. The people can't let go of the era of belly fullness, what kind of prosperous age!

At the court meeting a year ago, Li Chengqian sat on the court, listening to the repeated sycophants of a speaker, pouting his lips without listening, and turned his eyes to Wei Zheng.

Although Wei Zheng is now a servant, he has not been deprived of his title as a doctor of imperial history, at least in terms of title, Wei Zheng is still the boss of these people.

Wei Zheng also kept nauseating when he listened to the report, but he could only endure it and refute it. From the first year of Wude to the present, Datang can be said to have been unable to do any better, and it is a great achievement to be able to gradually make up for the prototype on the fragmented mountain and river map. It's a bit bigger, but it's not too much.

Sensing Li Chengqian's gaze, Wei Zheng could only lower his head and cover his face with his sleeves.

I don't have a face to see people! The Tang Dynasty pacified Liang Shidu and the Eastern Turks for less than three years, and then destroyed Gaochang, although there is a suspicion of reckless force, but I have to say that this is what the people care about the most. , no matter who Gaochang is, as long as he is destroyed by the imperial court, the imperial court will be good. Under the successive dispatch of troops, the people's hearts will inevitably be panicked, and at this time, the imperial court needs to release some exciting news to calm the people's hearts. Bragging is the most barbaric and effective means of appeasement.

Seeing Wei Zheng hiding his face with his sleeves, Li Chengqian was embarrassed to stare at him, it was not good to bully honest people.

When the court meeting is indispensable, it is indispensable to reward, Li Xiaogong has been out of the limelight because of the pacification of Gaochang, although the title is still the king of Hejian County, but the food has increased by 1,000 households. The courtiers knew very well that such a reward could be said to be meager, but since Li Xiaogong accepted it with a smile, it can only be said that the emperor and him reached a private reward, most of which is that the title of the county king can be passed on to the next generation without decreasing like the founding prince.

Li Xiaogong is the general manager of the march on the Green Mountain Road, and the deputy chief is Qi Bi He Li. With Fang Xuanling's announcement, Qibi He Li Guanjin became the left general, and the title was changed to Liangguo Gong, which was specially arranged for him, because after his tribe surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he lived near Liangzhou.

The deed must He Li, who had to be crowned the Duke of Liangguo, knelt down on the spot, cut his face with his nails and swore to the emperor that he would never live up to the emperor's grace, and the emperor naturally smiled and ordered the imperial history to help him up with the deed must He Li, and rewarded him with 100 horses of silk and 1,000 loads of grain, and allowed him to go back to Liangzhou to visit his relatives.

Fang Xuanling, who had finished announcing his will, returned to his seat, saw Li Chengqian's strange expression, and coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness looks down on what Qi Bi did?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, lowered his voice and said: "Lone never looks down on a person easily, even if this person is a slave, then he must have a specialty that others do not have." Lone just sighed, in fact, it may not be a barbarian and untrustworthy, and it has to be treated differently. ”

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "If it is another grassland general, Your Majesty wants to reward him with the title of Duke of the country, or give him the place where the tribe is settled, the old minister will definitely stop it, but the deed must be an exception." On the second day of the first month of November in the sixth year of Zhenguan, Qibi He Li and his mother led more than 1,000 tribes to Shazhou to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty issued an edict to place them between Gan and Liangzhou, and appointed Qibi He Li as the general of the left leading army, and named his mother as the lady of Guzang County, and his younger brother Qibi Shamen as the governor of Helanzhou.

This arrangement is actually an old practice for dealing with surrendered tribes. You must know that the governor of Qibi Shamen is the governor of real power, and his subordinates are allowed to have their own army. Although Qi Bi He Li entered the court, his younger brother and mother were in the place, and he could rely on Datang to grow stronger again and then defect. The power of dying a deed is nothing compared to the future of a race.

However, you guessed the result. Not only did they not rely on the authority of the governor to do whatever they wanted, but respectfully wrote to His Majesty, explaining that it was not suitable for the Qibi Shamen to be in power, and transferred the title of the governor to him. After this temptation, we can know that people are sincerely obedient. As long as he is sincerely obedient, let alone Hu Han, as long as he contributes to the country, he can be rewarded. ”

Li Chengqian nodded and thanked Fang Xuanling for his answer.

In fact, Li Chengqian knows a little more than Fang Xuanling, but it is not as detailed as he knows. You must know that this is a ruthless man who cut off his ears and swore not to surrender after being captured, which made the emperor cry bitterly, and exchanged the princess and relatives for it. There are many traitors among the generals who surrendered to the Turkic tribes, and Ashina Helu is one, but this guy is really worthy of his title and the emperor's trust.

After the reward was announced, the court meeting was over, the emperor did not stay, and Li Chengqian was happy to sneak out directly.

In fact, the end of the court meeting was similar to the scene of office workers getting off work, and the military generals gathered in a bunch, clamoring for Li Xiaogong and Qi Bi He Li to treat them. The civil official team walked together in twos and threes, discussing the affairs between the various ministries, and after the great court meeting a year ago, until the "holiday" of the small year, all the ministries of the imperial court had to seize the time to deal with all the important matters.

Among the slow walkers, Tang Jian's footsteps seemed hurried, and the curious Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to stop him.

"Ju Gong, why are you in such a hurry?"

If it was someone else, Tang Jian would never talk to him, but when he looked back and saw that it was the prince, he could only stand and say: "Your Highness, Weichen is worried about the prince of Gaochang, this guy has been trying to cut himself since he settled in the Chang'an Inn, and the people in charge of him have to follow him closely, which is really heartbreaking!" Look at how good Jieli is, he never causes trouble, but he just cried because his relatives couldn't eat meat, and after His Majesty ordered them to be supplied with meat, they were fine. ”

Honglu Temple is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and the funny thing is that the prisoners, especially those who need to be supervised, are also managed by them.

Prince Gaochang, no, he is now the king of Gaochang. Gaochang Wang Ji Zhisheng is also a backbone, refusing to surrender and not saying anything, and thinking about self-determination, compared to him, Jieli is really a waste.

"Why don't you take Gu on a trip? He, the king of Gaochang, is also a duck on the shelf, and he is also the prince, maybe Ergu can enlighten him. ”

Tang Jian pursed his lips, although he felt that it was more likely that Koji Zhisheng would be hit, but there was no other way at the moment, so he could only give up:

"Then Your Highness will come with the lower officials, but you must bring an escort."

Li Chengqian looked back and saw that Zhang Yun was already standing behind him, and the Sky Monkey also flashed the horizontal knife on his waist before following Tang Jian.

It is said to be a guest house, but it is actually a high-class prison cell.

Both Jieli and Koji Zhisheng were imprisoned in the courtyard prepared by Honglu Temple, surrounded by guards and sergeants. When the envoys of various countries make the pilgrimage, Jieli and others are the best exhibits, and every time the Eastern Turkic wolf king appears, it will make the Western Turks angry, Xue Yantuo is timid, and Goryeo and other countries dare not speak.

It seems that Tang Jian and others want to show the waist circumference of King Gaochang to Tuyuhun, Qiuzi and other countries, and show the high-quality life of the Tang Dynasty captives.
