(Welcome to the readership, come in and chat, number: 625671566, new book will be released soon)
* The news of the demise quickly spread throughout the Tang Dynasty and the entire grassland. The snow gradually falling south did not stop the enthusiasm of the people of the Tang Dynasty to run to tell each other, and the grassland and the clans who hoped to use the Turks to take revenge, for them, this winter was really cold.
The Turks are not something that Li Yuan can destroy, and with the Dahe clan and the Bohai Kingdom, they can't kill so many people. Therefore, the Turks were dismantled and divided into eight parts. Datang asked for four, two each of Dahe and Bohai. The four divisions and two divisions, each of which must be stationed separately. And Li Yuan, taking advantage of the majesty of the Tang Emperor, directly sealed out the four kings.
To the north of Yinshan is the place where the Dahe clan will gallop in the future. To the east of Yinshan, a fertile grassland is the holy land of the nomadic part of the Bohai Kingdom. South of Yinshan, it returned to the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty, and this was the first time since Cao Wei was destroyed. The capital protectorate was set up to govern the four Turkic departments and several prefectures and counties of Xue Yantuo. There were other tribes around the Turks who were vassals, and they also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Because they all know that they are too aggrieved when they go to Bohai, and they become slaves when they get to Dahe, only when they go to Datang, they can still be a king, although they are also controlled by others, but their honor on the grassland remains unchanged, and their throne does not need to be provoked.
The military center of the Tang Dynasty is finally not in Youzhou, and outside the Great Wall, it has become a friendly neighbor. Moreover, these friendly neighbors, at least for fifty years, will not change much. As a result, the Cangzhou Chamber of Commerce re-established a Youzhou Chamber of Commerce in Youzhou to trade with the grassland peoples. No one could have imagined that what intermarriage could not do, a small chamber of commerce did. What's going on? Let the nomads and the agricultural peoples live in harmony.
After the establishment of the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, herdsmen can easily exchange cattle and sheep for cloth and grain from the Central Plains, and farmers can also exchange grain for cattle and sheep products at fair prices, such as ploughing cattle or woolen sweaters. The Youzhou Chamber of Commerce also has the function of adjusting the market, he has established a large thing that is often closed, stores some of the most basic commodities in the market, and also has its own pasture on the grassland. When the price is low, buy it back from the market, gradually increase the market price, and when the price is high, it will be released slightly lower than the market price. In this way, you can not only maintain the stability of the market price, but also make your own money.
In fact, China's agricultural production and industrial production can already meet the needs of society. However, in the history of 2,000 years, famine is still frequent. Why is that? This is because people who have piled up rotten grain find it difficult to buy food for those who need it, resulting in the blood of the giant Huaxia not circulating.
Now, the excess production capacity has been put into the market, even if it is consumed, satisfying the lower classes of the people Xu Qing, but also weakening the contradiction between the nomadic and the agricultural people. It is impossible to eliminate contradictions, but when contradictions occur, they can be resolved by quarrels, and there is no need for the two sides to fight, let alone war.
This is immeasurable merit.
And Li Yuan obviously can't see such a scene of great harmony in the world.
It was a very happy thing to return to the dynasty in victory, but unfortunately, as soon as Li Yuan returned to Chang'an, he suffered from the wind and cold, and he was half sick and did not get better. invited the world's famous doctors, and Xu Qing also saw it, but they were all helpless. But if Xu Qing is allowed to talk about it, what else can this be, this is old.
At the end of December, unconsciously, Xu Qing came to Chang'an for almost a year, a year ago, he was still loyal to power, but now, he has also become a person who stamped his feet, and the entire Chang'an was about to be shaken. And on this day, Xu Qing is going to become an old minister of the two dynasties.
Li Yuan said to Li Jiancheng: "Oh, it has been completed, now that the Turks have been destroyed, the government has stabilized." As a father, my body is not as good as before, and I have to admit that these things are almost impossible to do. From now on, the government, civil and military affairs, military and political power will be handed over to you. ”
Of course, Li Jiancheng didn't know whether this was the truth or a lie that Li Yuan said, so he immediately knelt down and said: "My father is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is the strain of peace and stability. May my father and emperor rest the dragon's body, and my sons will do their best to assist my father in handling the affairs of the court. ”
Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng, who was panicked, and said with a smile: "Jiancheng, it's okay, you can be your emperor with peace of mind." After tomorrow's court meeting, I will be too emperor, I am not commanding your army, I am really tired. Don't say it, this idea is still Xu Qing told me......"
"Xu Qing?"
"Don't be happy, Xu Qing is not for your sake, but for my sake. He told me that within three years, the Tang Dynasty will become rich and strong, and he will wait until that time to see all the countries coming. See the big lion of Africa, eat sweet potatoes and potatoes from South America...... Ah, he's so erudite, he knows something I've never heard of. Li Yuan's eyes were full of expectations for the future and the distance, these things were all told to him by Xu Qing.
Father, father, for Xu Qing, in this Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan can be regarded as half of his father. Li Yuan is no worse than some princes who are concubines. After Li Yuan fell ill, Xu Qing knew that Li Yuan's body was broken, and if he wanted to recover, he could only rely on strong willpower. So, Xu Qing didn't care about what Li Yuan asked, and said there, ah, in the future, human beings will fly into the sky, fly to the moon, thousands of miles away, and there are white-skinned people, black-skinned people, and some people have blue eyes, and so on. Every time he saw a glimmer of hope in Li Yuan's eyes, Xu Qing also had an inexplicable happiness in his heart.
Li Yuan was still stunned when he saw Li Jiancheng, so he said seriously: "Don't do anything fake, people in the world, who doesn't want to be the emperor and the master of the world?" As the crown prince, you naturally think about it, don't worry, you are the emperor, I will hand over all the military and political power to you, and I will never interfere in anything with you. Of course, what do you think my old bones are of any use, just say hello, which old minister is not honest, don't care, just clean up. And, hehe, those people are all handed over to me to deal with. ”
Li Jiancheng's eyes became excited, and he bowed to the ground and said, "Erchen, obey the order!" ”
In the Great Dynasty, Li Yuan announced this decision, and there was no uproar in the court, but the ministers obeyed the order. Then he served the crown prince to change his clothes, and then ascended the throne in an orderly manner. Before Li Yuan was on the throne, he had already pacified his own group of old ministers in the court, and as for the others, in this court where Li Jiancheng had already done and what he said, he naturally did not dare to oppose anything.
At this time, the prince's party finally got what they wanted, and Li Yuanji was in charge of the first army, which was Shang Shuling.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the spring season, Li Shimin suddenly threw himself into the pool in his garden and died young. And his father, Li Yuan, also because of this incident, his mood fluctuated again, and he also fell seriously ill, and he worked hard for three months, and he tried everything he could, and he couldn't resist the reincarnation of life. The emperor is too great, and it collapsed.
Li Jiancheng dismissed the dynasty for nine days, the whole country mourned, and Dai Xiao was three years.
When Li Yuan left, he made a strange decision. He ordered the capture of more than 500 people, and for some reason, these 500 people had to accompany him to the burial. Li Jiancheng ignored the opposition of the ministers in the court and used the army to capture more than 500 people and bury them alive.
Others don't know, but Li Jiancheng and Xu Qing said such a thing. This matter, like what Wei Xian said last time, some thousand-year-old clans are too powerful. Even the imperial power can move easily, and Emperor Yang of Sui hid in the Eastern Capital or hid in the Jiang and did not return, which seems to be related to this matter. However, what this thousand-year-old clan has mastered, or what is enough for them to last for so long, Xu Qing doesn't know.
The strength of these thousand-year-old clans was too strong and huge, and when Li Yuan had to die, he decided to drag some of the core members of this clan to the ground. Li Yuan did this, but he was burdened with a thousand years of infamy.
Xu Qing finally found an opportunity to go to the place where the Yin World Master buried the treasure. Sure enough, it was the familiar thing again, a half-sided tripod forged from the Stone of Death. This kind of thing, Xu Qing didn't know how to break it, so he could only paint a layer of gold paint on this tripod, and then move it home.
And at this time, a person who had disappeared for a long, long time appeared, and his name was Yuan Tiangang. When Yuan Tiangang learned that the Xuanwumen Rebellion was about to happen, he went out almost a year in advance, and even his old friend Li Yuan died, and he did not come back to mourn. But when he came back this time, he directly found Xu Qing and said to Xu Qing: "The Yin family is also a family that has been hidden for thousands of years. The reason why they have been able to inherit for so long is because they can use the lifeless stone to summon the souls of future generations to ask for good fortune. However, the soul of the afterlife can only speak of the effect, but cannot tell the cause. So I don't know if the history before the Tang Dynasty was caused by them or changed by them. But that's changed since then......"
Xu Qing was stunned, this is a matter of time refutation. That is to say, if you know what will happen in the future, then you change the present, and the future of the future corresponds to your present present? What Yuan Tiangang means is that the current people know what will happen in the future, but they do not change it, but follow the development of this matter, use their strength, and push everything to this side, so that everything happens.
However, this development is not really that history. Who knows, which timeline the soul that was recruited?
Before Li Shimin died, he had a conversation with Li Yuan.
"Father, those people say that I am the last person to be the emperor, those people say that Xu Qing is an outlier, and I should get rid of it, and those people still say that they know everything."
"Erlang, it seems that those people hurt you. Okay, okay......" Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and said, "Son, do you believe in fate?" ”
"Erchen, don't believe it, my life is in my absence!"
"Yes, my life is in my absence, you look like a father." Li Yuan said slowly, "Those people claim to know everything, but they still don't know Xu Qing's outlier, and I want to give them a variable." Erlang, will you go to see your mother with your father? ”
