Tai Chi Hall

"Your Majesty! The last tranche of relief funds has been raised! The Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Dai Xuan reported with a happy face.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The ministers of the Taiji Hall said with joy on their faces.

Li Shimin's face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the Shandong flood was a rare disaster that Datang had ever seen, but it was also the easiest to get through.

All this is thanks to the fact that the boy in Lanzhou, who is far away, has the support of the huge wealth of the Tuyuhun land, and can successfully use work for relief, which not only solves the problem of disaster relief, but also builds hundreds of miles of brick roads.

"Your Majesty, now that the disaster relief funds have been raised, it's time to recall the ink sacrifice wine back to Chang'an City." Dai Xuan nodded.

"Of course, we have to recall him, and all the departments in the northwest have played it, and this kid is holding that giant magnet stone, and he is scaring people there every day!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

The ministers also couldn't help laughing, don't look at a small magnet, but it has added a lot of wealth to the Tang Dynasty, if there is no such weapon, I am afraid that those grassland departments will not be easy to obey.

"In my old Cheng's view, this magnet has its own great use, Mo Boy once used it to make a compass, and my old Cheng crisscrossed the desert together, and then it is also a sharp weapon for the various departments of the grassland, if some barbarian tribes do not have iron weapons, they will not dare to have two hearts." Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

Many courtiers nodded slowly, in the northwest and southwest departments, especially in the southwest, the people often rebelled, if their iron weapons were confiscated, even if they had two hearts, they would not be able to make any waves.

In addition, it will definitely work wonders to guard the city gates and search for forbidden objects with this magnet, and all of a sudden, the ministers have thought of various uses of magnets.

"This thing is a little wonderful, pass the order down, let Mojia Village build more, and try it in the imperial city first." Li Shimin was quite moved, with this magnet, the protection in the palace must have increased several times out of thin air.

"Also, send an order to those tribes, as long as they keep to themselves, Datang will not touch them at all." Li Shimin waved his hand, this time Merton tossed so much in the northwest to raise money for the imperial court, and Li Shimin would of course support him.

"In addition, regarding Murong Shun's letter requesting permission for Tuyuhun to restore the country, let's discuss it!" Li Shimin said suddenly.

The matter of Tuyuhun has been delayed for too long, and it is time to make a decision.

Fang Xuanling is the head of the hundred officials, and with a wave of his hand, a huge Tuyuhun map appeared in front of the hundred officials, and the various tribes on it are clearly visible, and it is the Tuyuhun tribe map drawn by Merton.

"Back to Your Majesty, the party items, the Xiqiang tribes and Tuyuhun are not of the same race, and they should be separated from Tuyuhun and merged into my Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling pointed to the party and Xiqiang tribes in the land of Qingtang and Longxi.

Li Shimin nodded slowly, Xiqiang and the party are weak, but they can't stand the many tribes, and breaking away from Tuyuhun will definitely make Tuyuhun's strength suffer greatly.

"Chaka Salt Lake is a raw material for Daqing salt, and we can't give it up." Dai Xuan said resolutely. Daqing salt is a steady source of wealth for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is naturally unwilling to give up.

"The land of Wuhai is extremely high, and the climate is very similar to that of Tibet, and it is a training place for my Tang Dynasty to guard against Tibet, and I can't give it up." Hou Junji's eyes flashed.

He is the secretary of the military department, and he personally broke into the land of Wuhai, and personally experienced the severity of altitude sickness, so he naturally would not give up these strategic places.

A group of courtiers, as soon as you say a word, you will immediately divide the Tugu into pieces.

With Merton's tossing in Tuyuhun, the form of Tuyuhun at this moment is already greatly beneficial to Datang, but it is much better than in history, and the resistance of Datang to dismember Tuyuhun has been greatly reduced.

"Your Majesty think twice! If we openly occupy the tribe of Tuyuhun, I am afraid that it will damage Your Majesty's reputation! Kong Yingda retorted.

"Yes! My Tang Dynasty did not take an inch of Turkic land back then, and the northwest departments came to vote one after another, and now the destruction of the country of Tuguhun will definitely make the grassland departments feel cold. Quan Wanji followed the line.

A group of civil officials also chimed in.

"It's simply pedantic, the grassland departments are afraid of power and morality, and now the grassland departments get the silage method of the ink boy, if it is not restricted, and the strength will be multiplied over time, it will become a big disaster." Cheng Yanjin sneered.

Quan Wanji retorted: "From the perspective of Weichen, the move of ink sacrifice wine is for the sake of small profits and righteousness, and raising tigers for trouble. ”

"When I first collected the money, my old Cheng didn't see Lord Quan objecting." Cheng Yanjin sneered.

Between the civil and military, they suddenly fell into a dispute, and the court was in chaos.

"Okay, don't make any more noise, Tuyuhun must be restricted." Li Shimin said with a final word, an expedition almost exhausted the treasury of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't want to come again.

"Maybe we can follow the example of the previous dynasty and divide Tuyuhun into east and west." Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes flashed.

The hearts of the ministers moved, and they all looked at the eldest grandson Wuji on the side.

"Everyone, please see, although the ink sacrifice wine was accidentally hit, it made Tuyuhun successfully divided into two factions, one is the many small and medium-sized tribes that have bought pastures, and the other is a large tribes that have not bought pastures." The eldest grandson Wuji pointed to the clearly distinct tribal roads on the Tuyuhun map.

Under Merton's conscious control, most of the tribes that bought ranches were located on the east side of Qinghai Lake, close to Datang, and these tribes had to get the support of Datang in order to keep their pastures, which was very beneficial to Datang.

"The consciousness of the eldest grandson Wuji is to divide Tuyuhun into two parts according to the distribution of these tribes?" Fang Xuanling instantly comprehended the meaning of the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "Although Murong Shun is the eldest son, he is the former prince, and his name is not right. As you know, among Fu Yun's sons, there is one who is the most favored by Fu Yun! ”

"Honorable King!" Li Shimin's eyes flashed.

At the beginning, in order to support the king, Fu Yun actually asked the Tang Dynasty for him to make peace, how could he not impress everyone, in this war, the king was also captured.

"Yes, King Zun is loved by Fu Yun, and everyone in Tuyuhun knows it, so he will definitely be able to compete with Murong Shun!" The eldest grandson Wuji said proudly.

Li Shimin nodded slowly and thought for a while: "Spread the decree, seal Murong Shun as the king of Xiping County, the late Lu Wu Gandou Khan, and command the departments west of Qinghai Lake. King Murong Zun was named the king of Dongping County, and Wudi was also the Khan of Baledou, commanding the departments east of Qinghai Lake, and temporarily residing in Chang'an City. ”

Most of the east of Qinghai Lake are buying pastures, inclined to the Tuyuhun tribes of the Tang Dynasty, and the king temporarily resides in Chang'an City, as long as these tribes are assimilated by the Tang Dynasty, they will slowly naturalize the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

This time, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs had no objection and said in unison.

"Your Majesty! Murong Shun is not in the right position, I am afraid that the various departments east of Qinghai Lake will not be convinced, why not send an elite cavalry to help. The eldest grandson Wuji gave Murong Shun another salary, and said with a fatal blow.

"Exactly! The herald ordered Li Daliang to command 8,000 elite cavalry to help Murong Shun. Li Shimin said without hesitation.
