Hundreds of officials took their seats, and Li Huai, the internal supervisor of the palace on duty, took a few steps forward, stood in front of the side of His Majesty's steps, unfolded the agenda of Huang Juan's book in his hand and read aloud: "Today's dynasty only discusses the affairs of Longyou and Hexi, and other state affairs are not discussed for the time being, and the court will begin now!" ”

After a moment's pause, Li Qi said in a very gentle tone: "As you all know, during the previous dynasties, Tubo was the biggest external trouble in my Tang Dynasty. Since the beginning of the Anshi Rebellion, most of Hehuang, Hexi, and Longyou have fallen into Tibet one after another, and it can be said that the death of the previous dynasty was partly due to this external trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qi paused for a moment and continued: "Now that Tibet has collapsed and perished, and the Tibetan tribes in Hexi, Hehuang and even Qingtang have their own affairs, they are like scattered sand, which is the best time for my Tang Dynasty to open up and stabilize the western frontier. There are many ministers in the court who believe that the current primary goal of the empire should be to unify the south, and the strategic focus should be on the south, but have the secretaries thought about it, if we pacify the south of the Yangtze River, and if the Tibetan tribes in Hehuang and Qingtang are integrated and unified again, what should we do? The various separatist regimes in the south only want to live in peace with the world, and they have no ambition to be big, and there is no threat, they just need to be slowly unified. I repeat here that the greatest threat to the empire is the Khitan, followed by Tibet. The Khitan is now strong and strong, and we are still powerless to clean it up for the time being, but we will never allow the formation of a second Khitan in the Tibetan tribes of Longyou and Qingtang! ”

Li Qi's voice was not loud, but the internal buildings and structures of this Qianyuan Hall had a stage-like echo effect, so the officials present in the hall could basically hear it.

"The stability of the northwest lies in Longyou and Hexi, and each Tuntian district should gradually infiltrate and extend in the direction of Hehuang and Qingtang in a planned way, and the Shatuo and Zhaowu tribes living in Yizhou sent envoys to the previous period, saying that they were being plundered by the Gaochang Uighurs, Jinshan Gelu, and Zhubu tribes, and asked for help from the imperial court. Ladies and gentlemen, who would like to lead the army to Beiting for me? ”

Li Yanqiu stood up, went out of class and said, "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go!" ”

After hearing this, Li Qi smiled: "The emperor's heart to serve the country is worthy of praise, but I want to find a general who can speak Shatuo dialect." After all, when I went to the Western Regions, I wanted to pacify the main thing, not to lead the army to conquer the various departments of the Northern Court. ”

Li Sifeng stood up and said, "The old minister is willing to share the worries of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "Uncle Huang has been fighting for my Tang Dynasty for decades, and I can't bear it. Comfort! ”

"Wechen is here!" Kang Fu didn't expect Li Qi to suddenly call his name, he was surprised, and hurriedly got up and stood up.

"I heard that your Shatuo language is very good?"

Kang Fu bowed and said, "That was learned by the minister when he was a teenager with the old man in the Daizhou clan. He also deliberately said that he was born in the same clan as the Son of Heaven, and Li Keyong, the king of Jin, placed tens of thousands of clansmen in Daizhou and Yunzhou.

Li Qi nodded: "When Emperor Wu raised his army, there were many Shatuo and Zhaowu old clans who still stayed in the Yizhou area as nomads, why can't I watch them being bullied?" In this way, Kang Aiqing will go to the Northern Court for me to preach and appease, and I will give you 3,000 cavalry. As for the specific matters, I will explain them after the court meeting. ”

The emperor spoke, basically there was no reason to shirk, although Kang Fu was reluctant, he had no choice but to bow down and say: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Li Qi looked at Lu Yan again: "The Tuntian Order must step up the implementation of the Tuntian affairs in Suzhou and Guazhou, where there is still Heishui. ”

Lu Yan got up and said: "The preliminary planning has been completed, and it can be implemented after the beginning of spring." ”

Li Qi looked at the court again: "Who else has something to say?" ”

Ren Yuan stood up at this time: "Regarding the addition of Weizhou and Dingzhou in Shuofang, please ask Your Majesty to approve it earlier." ”

A super-large salt mine was discovered north of Xingzhou, and Ren Yuan's proposal to set up Dingzhou north of Xingzhou was to control the salt superintendent there.

After hearing this, Li Qi thought for a while: "The proposal to set up Weizhou is allowed, and as for Dingzhou, it will be changed from an ordinary Xia Prefecture to a military state, and it will be under the jurisdiction of the Tuntian Division. Although he approved Ren Yuan's proposal to establish a state, he assigned the management of the salt pond to the Tuntian Division under Lu Yan's jurisdiction.

Lu Bi stood up and played: "Hexi Chinese studies are in decline, and I also ask Your Majesty to agree to the establishment of government schools in Liangzhou, Ganzhou and Shazhou with the funds allocated by the imperial court. "Lu Bi is also the leader of the country, and it is his job to promote education.

"Quasi-performance, this matter will be drafted by the Prime Minister in conjunction with the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Guozijian, and it will be implemented as soon as possible." As for the development of education, Li Qi still expressed his support as always.

The privy envoy Yuan Xingqin stood up and said, "I don't know which army Your Majesty wants to send to the Northern Court?" ”

"Just select from the Yanmen Army." Li Qi didn't hesitate at all, the area around the Xin Dynasty was already considered inland, and it didn't make much sense to station so many troops, which he had already thought about before.

After that, there were some miscellaneous matters, and the court meeting only lasted for more than an hour, and then the court was announced to be dispersed......

……

In the north of Jinbei in February, the snow has just begun to melt, and although it is still snowing in the sky, the air is no longer as biting cold as winter. The Hutuo River has gradually thawed, cracks have opened in the frozen river, and water has poured up from under the ice.

Whether people like it or not, the day of the expedition has come.

Grape wine luminous glass, want to drink pipa immediately urge.

Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times?

There were no carriages, and the imperial court provided 3,600 camels for the 3,000 Yanmen cavalry on the expedition to the Northern Court, as well as 2,000 auxiliary troops composed of prisoners, who would become the first batch of soldiers to be sent to the Northern Court to carry out the tuntian.

A team of 6,000 military horses, nearly 4,000 camels, and nearly 10,000 head of livestock, braved the wind and snow, and set off from Laoxian County in a mighty way, along the road leading to Yunzhou, and traveled north.

Those young officers from the emperor's side, running back and forth in the middle of the ranks, over and over again to boost the morale of the soldiers, preaching the rewards after meritorious service to the country, that is, no one wants to mention this matter of young people returning to the army since ancient times, and a few people returning from the war since ancient times.

Kangfu wore his armor over his fur coat, his face was expressionless, and he walked in the middle of the line without saying a word on his warhorse.

This horse leather shroud may be the original fate, but thinking of the cry of his concubine before leaving Jinyang, he was a little reluctant and silent in his heart.

The king has an order, and the minister has to obey, besides, he should be regarded as a "traitor", this son of heaven has not settled the old accounts and cleaned himself up, even if he is extrajudicial favor, what else can he ask for?

The envoys sent by Nashatuo praised the greatness and kindness of the Son of Heaven from time to time by Kangfu's side, and praised the majesty and strictness of the Tang cavalry. This makes Kang Fu even more eager to kick this guy off the horse, if there is no cowardice of you to come to Jinyang to complain, why would Lao Tzu be sent to the Beiting court for no reason to appease?!

According to this guy, it took them a month to get from Yizhou to Jinyang, and Kang Fu also hoped that this army could reach Yizhou within a month, even if he had completed most of the mission......
