Chapter 297: Governor of Lingzhou
"Qi Qi everyone Xi Jun bought it and was waiting outside the hall. Flash: "A eunuch trotted in.
"Announce him in." Li Chengqian said.
The eunuch "No" was ordered to retreat.
Xi Junmai walked in from outside the hall and saluted Li Chengqian: "The minister Xi Donggong Qianniu Junmai sees Your Majesty"
"No courtesy," Li Chenggan said.
"Your Majesty," Xi Jun bought and thanked him for getting up.
Except for Xi Junmai, the other officials of the East Palace have been promoted by Li Chengqian, and only he is still a Qianniu of the East Palace.
As for why Li Chengqian did not promote him, he was placed in the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya or the Forbidden Army of the Northern Ya.
In fact, Li Chengqian has other plans, Xi Junmai is a person who can quell the civil strife in Tuyuhun with only one hundred and twenty, and his strength is also not bad.
Li Chengqian knew that if Tibet wanted to continue to develop and grow, it must expand its territory to the west, and Tuyuhun was the first target of Tibet's outward expansion.
The fall of Tuyuhun also brought a lot of trouble to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and the Tang Dynasty competed with Tubo for the dominance of the four towns of Anxi.
He even did not hesitate to send a large army to the west, which led to an emptiness in the northeast, which gave Silla an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to drive away the Tang army in Liaodong and smoothly unify the peninsula.
This is something that Li Chengqian absolutely cannot tolerate, the Tang Dynasty worked hard to eliminate Goguryeo, how much hard sweat has been paid, what qualifications do you Silla stick have to pick the fruits of victory.
This is a shame for Datang, for him, the emperor, how many manpower and material resources Datang invested in it, and in the end he was actually played by a group of sticks as monkeys.
Li Chengqian will never allow such a thing to happen, and he will never allow such a tragedy to happen again.
The incompetence of Tang Gaozong in history is his business, but he Li Chengqian will never allow it, and the peninsula can only become a state and county of the Tang Dynasty.
If Silla had kept to himself, he would have been able to show mercy and keep their country, and if he had to jump up and down, he would have been wiped out.
Therefore, it is necessary to first control the pace of Tibet's westward expansion.
In order to stop the westward expansion of Tibet, it was necessary to ensure that Tuyuhun would not be annexed by Tibet.
As for whether Tubo will expand to the south, it is none of Li Chengqian's business, the south is the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which is the territory of the Six Edicts, although they are subject to the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, it is not under the management of Datang, it belongs to the situation of each other, and Li Chengqian is very happy to see them both lose.
In that case, Datang would be able to take the opportunity to take the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, incorporate it into the territory of Datang, and become a state and county under the jurisdiction of Datang.
"Since I ascended the throne, I have rewarded the subordinate officials of the East Palace, but you are still a thousand cows in the East Palace, and you have complaints in your heart," Li Chengqian asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister has never had the slightest resentment towards His Majesty, and every word of the minister's words comes from the bottom of his heart, if there is half a falsehood, the minister will not die well." When Xi Junmai heard Li Chengqian's question, he was half frightened to death, and hurriedly knelt down and said.
Xi Junmai thought that someone was behind him and framed him, so the emperor summoned him for questioning, and he was a little unhappy because he had not been promoted.
Now there are still people who frame him for being dissatisfied with the emperor, he feels that he is really wronged, he is really sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.
Xi Junmai was thinking in his heart about who would frame him behind his back, and whether he had offended anyone since he came to Chang'an.
"You don't have to be nervous, I'm just asking casually, you get up and talk." Li Chengqian said.
"Your Majesty," Xi Junmai stood up again.
"You pacified Tuyuhun with one hundred and twenty horses, you must have a good understanding of Tuyuhun, if you are asked to deal with Tuyuhun again, what do you think?" Li Chengqian said.
Xi Jun was stunned
Could it be that Tuyuhun is restless again, Your Majesty now wants me to deal with Tuyuhun, if this is the case, I must take advantage of this opportunity.
"Your Majesty has sent something, and the minister will not give up," Xi Junmai saluted.
"You tell Zhen about the situation of Tuyuhun first." Li Chengqian said.
"No" Xi Jun replied and explained his current situation to Li Chengqian in detail.
"Very good" Li Chengqian nodded, and after Xi Junmai said this, he was even more determined that he wanted to protect the important geographical location of Tuyuhun.
Tuyuhun is the springboard for Tubo's westward expansion, and is one of the important components of Tubo's development and growth.
In other words, the Hexi Corridor will be far under the control of the Tang Dynasty, so the prerequisite is to ensure that Tuyuhun is not annexed by Tubo.
"I have decided to appoint you as the governor of Lingzhou, but you must pay close attention to the situation in Tuyuhun, once you find that Tubo has the posture of attacking Tuyuhun."
"I want you to protect the vassal state to ensure that Tuyuhun does not fall into the hands of Tibet, and if necessary, you can launch a military attack on Tibet."
"In short, even if Tuyuhun can't become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Tubo."
"When it comes to Tibet, you must be highly vigilant and not relax for a moment." Li Chengqian said.
This does not allow him to deal with it carelessly, although the territory of Tubo is not as big as that of the Tang Dynasty, but he can compete with the Tang Dynasty.
This is enough to prove how strong the overall strength of Tibet is.
Now Tubo is in charge of Songtsen Gampo, and he will not do anything to the Tang Dynasty, but once Songtsen Gampo dies, Tubo will break the situation of friendship between the two countries and enter a state of hostility.
Therefore, Li Chengqian must make all preparations, and even if he cannot destroy Tibet, he must block it in the plateau area.
"The minister understands that the minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." Xi Jun bought it.
Although he wondered in his heart, Tubo and Datang were in-laws, and there were frequent and good exchanges between the two sides, how could they be enemies of Datang.
But the emperor said so, as a courtier, he could only do it, and when he arrived in Lingzhou, he would reorganize his military affairs and monitor the situation in Tuyuhun and Tubo at all times.
When necessary, he would also send troops to help Tuyuhun fight against the Tibetan army and drive it back to the Tibetan plateau.
Therefore, Xi Junmai has only one task, that is, to prevent Tubo from annexing Tuyuhun at all costs.
"This is an edict appointing you as the governor of Lingzhou, from now on you are the governor of Lingzhou, if you have anything to clean up, go back and clean up."
"If you have anything to explain to your family, go back and explain it, and go to Lingzhou as soon as possible to take office." Li Chengqian took the edict that had been prepared from Wang Quan's hand and handed it to Xi Jun to buy it.
"Ministers thank Tian'en" Xi Junmai hurriedly knelt down, raised his hands above his head, and took the edict of appointment of the governor of Lingzhou given to him by Li Chengqian.
"The minister retired" Xi Junmai got up and said goodbye and retired, and after leaving the palace, he went back to clean up casually.
Then he said goodbye to his family and set off for Lingzhou. 20 Friends who read books, you can search for "blue", and you can find this site as soon as possible.
