Chapter 322: Gao Kan is promoted
"Gao Kan stepped forward to listen to the seal!" Li Chengqian said.
Gao Kan hurriedly got up and stepped forward, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Minister Gao Kan asks Your Majesty for a gift." ”
"Worship the right Xiaowei Zhonglang General Gao Kan as the right Xiaowei general, give 100 taels of gold and 300 horses of cloth." Li Chengqian said.
"Minister Gaokan, thank Your Majesty for the reward, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After listening to Li Chengqian's reward, Gao Kan was full of joy and thanks.
He worked so hard to lead the troops to the battle, isn't it just to make meritorious contributions, and then be promoted to become rich and protect his children and grandchildren.
"This time, all those who go to Mobei to pacify the Turks will be rewarded, whether it is the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line, or the people who transported grain and grass, they will be rewarded." Li Chengqian said.
In the past, they were all rewarded for their hard work on the front line, but now Li Chengqian not only rewards the officers and men of the three armies, but even the people can get some rewards.
"Your Majesty! Before his return, the minister arranged all the troops of the Turkic Chebi Khan to Yu Du Jun Mountain, and I don't know how His Majesty intends to deal with these Turks. Gao Kan got up and asked.
After all, before he returned to Chang'an, he promised these Turks that the imperial court would definitely settle them properly and treat them preferentially.
These Turks also agreed to become subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and asked Gao Kan to explain to the emperor that they should also set up prefectures and counties there.
After all, if you promise other people's things, you must do it, and he is not a villain who is untrustworthy.
Originally, the establishment of the Prefecture Mansion in the headquarters of the Turks was a matter for the imperial court, not something that he should talk about as a right-hand general.
But since he had promised the Turks, he would try his best to fight for it.
"You are the chief general of the crusade against the Turks, what should you do with these surrendered Turks, what do you think the imperial court should do?" Li Chengqian asked.
Gao Kan was stunned! They thought that the emperor would ask him this question.
"Your Majesty! According to the previous treatment of the Yi tribes in the Tang Dynasty, a state capital should be set up in the location of each tribe, and its chief should serve as the assassin and governor. Gao Kan said.
The fetters system is the best way to solve the problems of ethnic minorities, which is conducive to the management of ethnic minorities by the imperial court.
"Unexpectedly, Gao Qing gathered the Turks of the Chebi Khan's department in Yu Du Jun Mountain, and set up the Wolf Mountain Governor's Mansion in Yu Du Jun Mountain, and the Turkic leader served as the Governor of Wolf Mountain."
"Not only that, but I also want to set up the Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate in Yunzhou to manage Monan, and lead the three Governor's Mansions of Wolf Mountain, Yunzhong, and Sangan, as well as fourteen prefectures such as Sunong." Li Chengqian said.
This time, the Metropolitan Protectorate was set up in Yunzhou, and Li Chengqian planned to strengthen the Metropolitan Protectorate's management of these ethnic minority gathering areas, and it could no longer be as loose as in the past.
It is necessary to strengthen the management of ethnic minorities and exercise strict control over these areas, just like the Tusi system of the Ming Dynasty.
In terms of inheritance, tribute, and conscription, it is necessary to have strict regulations in order to strengthen control over these areas.
This Shan Yu Duhu Mansion set up in Yunzhou is the test site, if it can work, it will be promoted step by step and implemented to all Yi tribes.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Gao Kan arched his hand.
"You're tired too, let's go back and rest first! You have been away from home for so long, and you have just gone back to reunite with your family, and they must have missed you from time to time. Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Retire!" Gao Kan saluted and retreated, and returned home directly after leaving the main hall.
……
On 27 July, Li Chengqian, who had been busy with government affairs, did not forget to combine work and rest to improve work efficiency, and took the opportunity to take some time to come out and relax.
So, on this day, he went out of the city to hunt and play, and went out to the countryside.
In ancient times, entertainment was limited, except for elegant things such as poetry and painting, in ancient times when there were no other entertainment facilities, and there was no Internet and computers, going out hunting and playing was the best way to entertain and relax.
Li Chengqian rode a horse outside the city and was looking for prey in the forest, when the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy.
Then it rained, and looking at the posture of the rain, it was definitely too late to return to Chang'an City, so Li Chengqian and others had to find another place to shelter from the rain.
The rain became heavier and heavier, from drizzle to downpour, and it was only a little more than ten minutes.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to prepare an oil coat (raincoat), so they didn't get drenched in soup.
But even if they put on oil coats, they will still be soaked in by the rain, and when they find a place to shelter from the rain, the clothes inside will still be wet.
Li Chengqian and others looked for a dilapidated temple, and could only take shelter from the rain here temporarily.
The temple is overgrown with weeds, in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is a statue of a god, no one has come to take care of it for a long time, so that the statue of the god loses its former glory.
Inside the temple, they lit a bonfire to keep warm and dry clothes.
Looking at the pouring rain outside, Li Chengqian asked the doctor on the side, Changle Ren Gu Nalu Xun: "What should I do to protect the oil coat from the rain so that it doesn't leak?" ”
Gu Nalu blurted out: "You only need to use tiles to make oil clothes, and Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it leaking." ”
Li Chengqian laughed when he heard this, he understood the meaning of Gu Nalu's words.
This is to persuade him that Li Chengqian should not hunt too much, but should put all his thoughts on military affairs.
It's best not to touch such a frustrating entertainment as hunting.
Confucianism believed that the ideal emperor should be conscientious and work for the affairs of the state, rather than hunting.
Therefore, Gu Nalu believes that Li Chengqian, as the emperor, should stay in the palace, handle the government well, and run out to play and hunt, which is really not what a holy lord and emperor should do.
"You know what you mean! It really shouldn't come out today. Li Chengqian said, he knew that it would rain today, so he didn't come out.
Li Chengqian disagreed with Gu Nalu's words, he is not a person who works hard, and only by combining work and rest can he live and work in a better state.
Working hard will reduce efficiency, and it is easy for people to die of exhaustion at work, which is not what Li Chengqian wants.
When it's time to relax, I still come out to move my muscles and relax my mind.
After Gu Nalu heard this, he thought that after Li Chengqian listened to his words, he finally changed his mind and realized his mistake!
Gu Nalu has a feeling of old relief.
The rain came and went quickly, and after half an hour, it gradually began to stop, and after fifteen minutes, the sky was clear.
The sun came out of the clouds, and rays of sunlight fell on the land.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the palace! Li Chengqian got up and said, limping out of the temple.
Everyone rode horses and escorted Li Chengqian back to the palace.
