Chapter 344
"Qiqi Sage, I just received an official letter from King Peng's Mansion, and King Peng Li Yuan is gone!" Zong Zhengqing reported to Li Chengqian.
Zongzheng Temple was responsible for managing the affairs of the imperial family, and once a member of the imperial family died, an official letter would be sent to Zongzheng Temple to report the funeral, and the officials of Zongzheng Temple would report it to the emperor.
"What do you say? My Twelve Emperors' Uncles? Li Chengqian, who had just come back from outside, was very surprised when he heard the bad news!
Li Yuan, the king of Peng, was the twelfth son of Gaozu Li Yuan, who was younger than him Li Chengqian, and he didn't expect him to die in front of him.
"Why did King Peng die?" Li Chengqian asked.
The reason for the death of the princes and kings must be recorded, and when the princes and kings submit official documents to report, they must clearly write down the cause of death, whether it is death from illness or accident, and so on.
"King Peng died of illness." Zong Zhengqing said.
"I know!" Needless to say, Li Chengqian also knew what disease Li Yuan died of.
"Li Yuan, the king of Peng, has no heirs, whether to remove Peng Guo." Zong Zhengqing asked.
Generally speaking, according to convention, if the princes and kings have no sons, it is equivalent to the death of the princely state, and the court will take back the fief and go out of the title of the vassal state.
Of course, there were exceptions, and some emperors would divide their sons into this fiefdom and become the new masters of the fiefdom.
Some emperors could not bear to have no one to worship and sacrifice after the death of this prince and king, so they would choose a suitable person in the clan and inherit everything from this prince and king, and worship and sacrifice this prince and king.
"Didn't Li Xuan, the fifth son of my fourteenth emperor uncle Li Yuanliang, pass on to the twelfth emperor uncle as his heir? Li Xuan succeeded him to the title of King Peng. Li Chengqian said.
"No!" Zong Zhengqing said: "I also ask the sage to give Li Yuanze, the king of Peng, a nickname." ”
"Then I gave King Peng the nickname of Si." Li Chengqian said.
There are three kinds of epithets: praise, pity, and derogatory.
Si belongs to the second kind of sympathetic plainness, a little sympathetic, this is Li Chengqian is a little sympathetic Li Yuan has no son, and there is no successor.
"Posthumously crowned Li Yuan, the king of Pengsi, as Situ and the governor of Jingzhou." Li Chengqian said.
"No!" Zong Zhengqing bowed and retreated.
When Li Chengqian returned to the Ganlu Palace, an attendant hurriedly trotted over.
"See the saints!" The chamberlain saluted.
"Why are you so flustered?" Li Chengqian asked, wondering if something had happened.
"Zhao Xiaozu, the head of the Langzhou Road March, sent someone to expedite eight hundred miles and send an urgent report! Please also ask the saint to look at it. After the waiter finished speaking, he handed the bamboo tube containing the secret report to Li Chengqian.
"Zhao Xiaozu!"
Li Chengqian didn't directly reach out to take the bamboo tube, he remembered that last year, Zhao Xiaozu defeated Baishuiman and put down the Baishuiman rebellion, he had given him a lesson.
Zhao Xiaozu said in the song: He has put down the rebellion of the Baishuiman, and killed the leaders of the Baishuiman, Balmapu and Jianmiyu.
It is also said that during the Zhenguan period, he crusaded against the barbarians in Queensland, and began to open up sandflies and alleys for states and counties. To the west of the alley, there are small and big bolong Erchuan, which have been inciting and seducing the alley, wanting to make the alley rebel against the court.
The west of Bolong is bordered by cucumber, Yeyu and Xi'er rivers, and the people are rich, surpassing the Shuchuan region, because there is no big leader, so it is easy to form grudges.
Zhao Xiaozu asked that now it was just right to take advantage of the forces that broke through Baishui and when the morale was high, he would go west to attack and pacify them.
Li Chengqian felt that this was a great opportunity, and he could take the opportunity to take down the big and small Bo Lane and pacify these barbarian lands.
Now it seems that Zhao Xiaozu should live up to his expectations, he should have pacified the big and small erections, and according to his meaning, the area has become an autonomous region.
Li Chengqian did not speak, and the attendant still maintained his original posture, not daring to move at all.
Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to take the bamboo tube and said, "You stand down!" ”
"No!" The chamberlain hurriedly bowed and withdrew.
Li Chengqian opened the sealing mud of the bamboo tube, poured out the secret report inside, opened it and looked through it.
As Li Chengqian expected, this secret report was Zhao Xiaozu's good news to the emperor.
Zhao Xiaozu lived up to his holy hopes, led his troops to defeat the southwestern barbarians, killed the leader of Xiaobo Lane, and captured Yang Chengdian, the leader of Da Bolong.
The other barbarian tribes that gathered troops and horses to protect themselves, the big ones had tens of thousands of soldiers, and the small ones were thousands of people, all of which were also broken one by one by Zhao Xiaozu's troops, and they were defeated and subdued one by one, and the southwestern barbarians were completely pacified.
"So happy to be together? It's been a while since the slave and maid were so happy to see everyone! It seems that this Zhao Xiaozu should have sent good news to everyone. Wang Quan said with a smile on his face.
"Zhao Xiaozu came to report that he had quelled all the rebellions in Langzhou, and the leader of the southwest barbarian Luo Cheng Hou Mountain, Bald Mopu, the big ghost lord Dugan, and the great leader of Zhou Jinshui, Jian Miyu, and the ghost lord Dong Pu, were all beheaded by him."
"Even Yang Chengdian, the leader of Da Bo Lane, was captured alive by him, and in order to deter the southwest barbarians, Yang Chengdian was beheaded and shown to the public." Li Chengqian said.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Wang Quan congratulated Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian ignored Wang Quan, but was thinking about the problem of Yunnan, where there were six edicts, and they were all tribes attached to the Tang Dynasty.
Yunnan borders on Tibet, except for one of the six edicts, Mengshe Zhao, which has been attached to the Tang Dynasty, the other five edicts are threatened by the Tibetans, and often abandon the Tang Dynasty and join the Tibetans.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, Meng Shezhao is the best partner of the Tang Dynasty.
Because of the relationship between Tubo, the southwestern frontier of the Tang Dynasty has actually been unstable, and the other five edicts will invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty at the behest of Tubo.
This made the Tang Dynasty very annoyed, and often sent troops to encircle and suppress, and the five edicts saw that the form was wrong, so they immediately surrendered and returned to the Tang Dynasty.
There were too many enemies around Datang, and he really didn't have too much energy to deal with these five capricious five edicts, so he agreed to the fact that he was reattached to Datang.
Once the Tang Dynasty withdraws its troops, it won't be long before these five edicts will betray the Tang Dynasty again under the threat of Tubo.
The Tang Dynasty is tired of this kind of capriciousness, but it doesn't have too much energy to deal with them, after all, there is still a Tibetan army hidden among them, and it is impossible to wipe them out at once.
So the Tang Dynasty thought of his own Mengshe Zhao, which was later known as the Southern Zhao, hoping to eliminate the Five Zhaos through it, and contain the power of Tubo, so that the southwestern border of the Tang Dynasty could be peaceful.
And Meng Shezhao also wanted to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to eliminate the five edicts and unify the entire Yunnan region, but the two sides hit it off, so the Tang Dynasty vigorously supported Mengshe Zhao to increase its strength, and finally eliminated the five edicts.
In the end, Nanzhao became the biggest hidden danger on the southwest border of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian will never allow such a thing to happen, and if he wants to do it once and for all, the only way is to completely eliminate the Six Edicts.
However, Datang did not have too many troops and financial resources to support the elimination of the forces of the Six Edicts. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
