In fact, since becoming Shao Zhan, Chen Zhengtai has the qualifications to really discuss national politics.

After all, he is a little prime minister, but he is not joking, all the newspapers of the imperial court, after being sent to Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, will be copied and sent to Zhan Shifu.

After all, Zhan Shifu is a small team, and whatever happens in the world, Zhan Shifu will know no less than Fang Xuanling.

Since Chen Zhengtai became the Shaoqing of the Zhan Mansion, in fact, many people know that His Majesty hopes that Chen Zhengtai will be sharpened.

Therefore, it is understandable that Fang Xuanling is taking the school to Chen Zhengtai at this moment.

Chen Zhengtai was calm and said, "It's okay for the husband to ask. ”

Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin glanced at each other, and Li Shimin smiled.

Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea and said, "Chen Zhengtai, your tea is good." ”

Chen Zhengtai felt that he was teasing me, and at this time, he was still verbose: "Huh...... After a few days, I will send a few hundred catties to the house. ”

He wanted to say that he was ready, hurry up!

Fang Xuanling was satisfied, and then said: "The latest report sent to me, in this desert, the Tiele Department and Tuyuhun have clashed, attacking each other, since the Turkic Department began to weaken, this Tiele Department and Tuyuhun gradually growing, are my Tang Dynasty's henchmen, this time the two attack each other, but at this time Tuyuhun is weak, Your Majesty means, I hope to give Tuyuhun some support, send some swords and bows and arrows, lest this Tuyuhun be destroyed by the Tiele Department, and strengthen the Tiele Department." ”

"It's just how to give support, how much to support...... But he needs to send someone to contact Tuyuhun, what does Chen Zhanshi think about this matter? ”

Tielebu and Tuyuhun ......

Chen Zhengtai looked surprised, at this time, shouldn't it be Tuyuhun who is strong?

Why is it that the Tiele Department is stronger?

Could it be something wrong?

At least in the history known to Chen Zhengtai, it was Tuyuhun who defeated the Tiele tribe and gradually began to encroach on the vacuum area that the Turkic tribe had weakened, and then began to grow, and finally became the new steppe overlord.

For the desert, Datang has always pursued a balanced strategy, who is weak, who will support whom.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun's strength on the books is relatively weak, so it chooses to help Tuyuhun and let it maintain a balanced state against the Tiele Ministry.

However, there are many precedents for this kind of balancing act, such as the war between Tuyuhun and Tiele this time.

Chen Zhengtai said: "This is a ...... Xia Guan has also seen it in the Zhan Shifu, the Tiele Department is only strong on the books, and the Tiele Department is divided into nine surnames, and the nine surnames Tiele are very loose. And Tuyuhun, they are the descendants of the Xianbei Murong clan, although nomadic in the desert, but as early as the Jin Dynasty, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, had absorbed a lot of craftsmen and Confucian scholars in the Central Plains, with the assistance of these people, Tuyuhun as early as many years ago, had set up the title of king, prince and servant, Shangshu, general, Lang and other official positions. ”

"This Tuguhun Khan...... The power is in his hands, although the strength on the books may not be as good as the surname Tiele Jiu, but Tuguhun is a fist when he holds it. However, the nine surnames of Tiele have their own ghosts, and in the opinion of the lower officials, the Tiele Department will undoubtedly lose this battle. The imperial court did not support the Tiele Ministry, but supported Tuyuhun, which made the lower officials very incomprehensible. The lower official dared to ask if Tuyuhun's envoy had arrived in Chang'an. ”

Li Shimin did not expect Chen Zhengtai to directly put forward an opposing proposal.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be surprised: "Yes, Tuyuhun's messenger has arrived." ”

Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "It's not surprising, Tuyuhun is most familiar with my situation in China, after all, ...... They absorbed too much of the advanced culture of the Han people, and before the war, they immediately sent envoys, which can be seen...... They have made great preparations for this war, not only have they already trained a large army, but they are also good at diplomacy, such a tribe is worthy of vigilance. ”

Tuyuhun is indeed different from ordinary Hu people.

The fundamental reason why they were able to rise to prominence and become the overlords of the steppe after the weakening of the Turkic tribe was that they knew how to recruit all ethnic groups to serve them better than other Hu people.

Besides...... Because they are the descendants of the Xianbei people who originally entered the Central Plains, they ...... Following the example of the Central Plains, a bureaucratic system was established to ensure that the khan had sufficient power.

They also had a large number of craftsmen, much more skilled than the nine surnames of Natiele, and thus...... After the Turks weakened, the seemingly inconspicuous Tuyuhun began to swell wildly.

On the other hand, the nine surnames of Tiele are still using the system of union of various surnames, each with its own small abacus, there is no unified and powerful centralized system, and the technology is particularly backward, which is also the reason for the defeat of the Tiele Department in history.

When Li Shimin heard this, he became interested and said: "But I heard that since the weakening of the Turkic Department, the Tiele Department has grown the most, and a large number of Turks who refused to obey the King of Guiyi have defected to the Tiele Department, and its men and horses have grown from only 20,000 to 100,000 at once. ”

Chen Zhengtai shook his head: "Teacher, the students think that the stronger the Tiele Department is, the worse it is for them. The Tiele Ministry did not establish a perfect administrative system, and the recruited people were mixed with dragons and snakes, and they could not organize themselves effectively, and the more they numbered, they were just a rabble. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai paused for a moment and thought for a while: "So the student thinks ...... If the imperial court wants to balance, it also needs to fund the Tiele Ministry, but ...... Now that the war is imminent, I'm afraid that even if it is to fund the Tiele Ministry, it will be too late, not to mention ...... The problems of the Tiele Ministry are so difficult to return that it is by no means a simple funding...... It's going to be solved. The student's suggestion was that Datang should be prepared for the rout of the Tiele Division. ”

Li Shimin was speechless for a while.

Chen's analysis is also reasonable.

It's just that the information of this era is not developed, even if Datang has enough details to explore the horse in the desert, the news that may be obtained is only a few words, and it cannot be fully understood.

The current situation is that Tuyuhun sent a messenger to ask for help, and the strength on Tuyuhun's books is indeed only twenty or thirty thousand.

Chen Zhengtai proposed to support Tiele, and it was obviously not easy to make this determination to be ready to suppress Tuyuhun.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling: "What do you think of Fang Qing's family?" ”

Fang Xuanling didn't underestimate Chen Zhengtai because he was young, Chen Zhengtai's analysis, he also listened extremely seriously, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and muttered: "Why don't you take a look?" ”

However, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting on the other side, said: "This is just Chen Zhengtai's speculation, the situation in the desert is changing rapidly, how can it affect the national policy of the imperial court because of a guess?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has had a conversation with the Tuyuhun envoy, the Tiele Department has indeed grown too strong recently, if it can't be weakened, I'm afraid the minister will be in a big trouble in the future."

Chen Zhengtai glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji with deep meaning.

I heard that after the Tuyuhun people entered Chang'an, the first thing they looked for was not the Ministry of Rites, but the eldest grandson Wuji first.

Because the Tuyuhun people are the descendants of the Xianbei people, and in fact, the eldest grandson Wuji is also a Xianbei person.

Of course...... It's not that the eldest grandson Wuji completely ignores the interests of the Tang Dynasty, but after all, the eldest grandson Wuji and the Tuyuhun people were the same family two hundred years ago, and there will be some intimacy, and it is inevitable that there will be some bias.

What the eldest grandson Wuji can't tolerate is that Chen Zhengtai, you kid, just suggest that you don't support Tugu Hun fall, and even ask the imperial court to support the Tiele Ministry, which is a bit unacceptable to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin frowned and muttered: "This matter, let's discuss it tomorrow." ”

The emperor said so, and everyone could only obediently say, "Oh." ”

Li Shimin immediately said: "Zhengtai began to gradually contact national politics, which is a good thing, but it is just ...... You are Shao Zhan Shi, assisting the prince...... The prince is the foundation of the country, and this should not be neglected, the prince has not seen anyone these days, and even his queen mother has not gone to say hello. ”

Chen Zhengtai didn't dare to tell the truth, and even a little weak-hearted, and said obediently: "The student obeys the order." ”

Li Shimin immediately left Li Jing, apparently ...... Li Shimin hoped to continue to have a deep conversation with Li Jing about the battle between Tielebu and Tuyuhun.

Chen Zhengtai retreated, and just took two steps, the eldest grandson Wuji stopped him.

Eldest Sun Wuji's face was a little bad, and he said with a tense face: "Chen Zhengtai, do you have any prejudices about the old man?" ”

Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said: "How can the eldest grandson say this? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji squinted, looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "I heard...... What do you say in front of the princess that it is not appropriate to marry within three generations? ”

"Ah......" Chen Zhengtai never imagined...... But the news was spread.

You must know that the eldest grandson Wuji's sister-in-law, Changsun Chong, has a marriage contract with Princess Changle, and the eldest grandson Wuji attaches great importance to this marriage, after all, ...... Princess Changle is Li Shimin's favorite daughter, once she gets married, her sister is the queen, and her son is a concubine, and the status of the eldest grandson's family will naturally rise.

Chen Zhengtai subconsciously said: "Where did you hear this?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said coldly: "Naturally, the princess of Changle wanted to regret the marriage and ran to find her mother. ”

Chen Zhengtai: "......"

Repentance.

Chen Zhengtai suddenly felt that the sky was thundering.

Your uncle, I just said it casually, why don't you use this reason to repent of marriage?

People who don't know still think that I, Chen Zhengtai, deliberately want to sabotage other people's marriages, what are some bad intentions?

At least now it seems that the eldest grandson Wuji stared at Chen Zhengtai very unceremoniously, the eldest grandson Wuji is a person who is very deep in the city, for such a person, he can also think about any simple matter, not to mention, this is also related to the future of the eldest grandson family.
