Chapter 5: Stratagem against the Turks
It didn't take long for Li Shimin to glance at the ministers at the banquet with serious eyes, and then left with his hands behind his back.
For those military ministers, it is extremely difficult to write a splendid article on their own ability, and it is better to let them roll around twice on the battlefield to be free and happy.
Of course, Li Shimin will not force them, but clearly propose to let them go to find diners to help complete the assessment. There are only twenty or thirty scholars in the imperial examination, and it is inevitable that some scholars from poor families will fall into Sun Mountain, and it is difficult to select talented people to be promoted by relying on the imperial examination alone.
This banquet assessment is only one of them, and he has other selfish motives in the selection.
It's just that you should listen to the will of God and do your best.
After Li Shimin left, Li Chengqian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his little hand slapped his chest. Because he was only about half a step away from the emperor's seat, he moved his butt and whispered, "Grandpa Huang, where are you...... There can be ready-made poems, so that Cheng Qian can refer to them slightly... Reference. ”
"Yes, just for reference, the test questions made by my father are quite weird, a circle adds an ink dot, and then there is a horizontal line under it, is it another interesting, or just look at the surface? If it's an ancient hieroglyphic ...... Then this word is a Dan word, but how can the meaning be so simple? He hesitated.
Emperor Taishang glanced at Li Chengqian, since he wrote a poem "Compassion for Nong" to him three years ago, everyone in Chang'an knows the name of the prince prodigy, and a lie often needs countless lies to cover up.
Therefore, in the end, Li Chengqian, the crown prince, gave the emperor eye medicine and some poems from time to time, and every five or six months, there would be a masterpiece that caused a sensation in the poetry world.
Today, Li Chengqian is not exempt from this.
However, the Emperor always felt weird. According to the convention of most travelers, it was he who showed his strength in the poetry world, and then caused countless deep resentful women to cry secretly.
But...... To him, the poems were given to the emperor's grandson. and the trick of pretending to be a ghost was not taught to Qing Yu, so that this 'demon way' became more and more alive in Chang'an City.
If possible, he even wanted to snatch Confucius's watch for the worlds and install it for himself.
Li Yuan coughed dryly, and whispered in Li Chengqian's ear: "You see this is a Dan, eggs give birth to chickens, chickens give birth to eggs, so together it is Ji Dan."
If you say this Ji Dan......"
Li Yuan is a little stuck, Ji Dan is Zhou Gongdan, but what to say next? Li Chengqian, the crown prince, has always been close to him, and if he helps him plagiarize poetry, then it must conform to the current 'artistic conception'.
Otherwise, even if you copy a poem that has been passed down through the ages, others will not only buy it, but will question the authenticity of the poem. If you really don't have the slightest foundation, you dare to plagiarize poetry, and after you become famous, someone will definitely invite you to go to the literary meeting, and when the time comes, everyone will help play a charade, then it is really dumbfounded.
Now that Li Jing has returned from the destruction of the Turks, he will either make a side poem or write a praise......
"By the way, this poem should work." A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Yuan's mind, and he picked up the pen and wrote, for a moment, in one go.
Give the king a way to solve the doubts, no need to drill the turtle and wish the yarrow.
The test jade should be burned for three days, and the material must be aged for seven years.
Zhou Gong was afraid of the message day, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.
Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life?
After the destruction of the Eastern Turks, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, is now a supreme minister. According to the trend of history, the next Li Jing will hand over his military power and thank the guests behind closed doors. It wasn't until the sixth year of Zhenguan that Tuyuhun rebelled, and then he put on his armor again and led the Tang army to pacify Tuyuhun ......
This poem written by Bai Juyi is undoubtedly the greatest praise for Li Jing, and it is also to persuade Li Shimin not to introduce Pharmacist Li in the future. Back then, Zhou Gong was spread rumors by Uncle Guan and others in Feng Ho, but what was the result? And Wang Mang in the late Western Han Dynasty was always humble and kind when he was a courtier, but who knows that he will usurp the country in the future?
Therefore, we can't just judge people based on outsiders, but from our own hearts, so that we can use people without suspicion and do not use doubts.
At the same time, for Li Chengqian, it will also greatly win the favor of the military god Li Jing and even the entire military attache system.
After Li Chengqian took the poem written by the Emperor Taishang, he looked left and right with his eyebrows and rat eyes, and saw that no one noticed him. After a hurried glance, it was then crumpled into a paper ball and interspersed between the sleeves of the shirt.
thanked the Emperor Taishang and said, "Thank you to the emperor for breaking the siege, Cheng Qian is very grateful."
The word cheating is both unfamiliar and familiar to Li Chengqian. If an ordinary person cheats on him, his first thought is to kill something. And the Emperor is different, the Emperor is his own grandfather, and the grandfather did the cheating...... Can it be called cheating?
Grandpa Huang's threat to him is almost zero, so what does he have to worry about.
After Li Chengqian left, Li Yuan thought about how to solve the Turkic troubles.
The Qing Dynasty was the most successful in solving the problems of frontiers and ethnic minorities. The Qing Dynasty implemented the policy of changing the land and returning to the people in the Tusi in the southwestern frontier, and in Mongolia it implemented the policy of making peace with the prince and becoming a monk, and in Tibet it used the Dalai Panchen Lama canonization system, and the central government personally selected the reincarnation of the Panchen.
These three policies have ensured that the three major issues surrounding the Ming Dynasty have not gone wrong for more than 200 years.
There are generally two methods for changing the land and returning it to the stream: one is to start from the top down, first change the Tufu, and then change the Tuzhou. The second is to seize all favorable opportunities to carry out, if there is no heir of the local official, there is no successor, or the clan fights, send a rogue official to take over; The local officials fought against each other, and after they were pacified, they sent the officials to take over; After some local officials committed crimes or were suppressed against the dynasty, they were dismissed for their crimes and replaced by rogue officials.
When some local people applied to the feudal dynasty to "change the land and return to the stream", the dynasty dismissed the hereditary local officials and changed them to liuguan with the so-called intention of serving the people. In short, when the feudal dynasty had the opportunity, it immediately seized the opportunity to change the stream......
It's just that changing the land and returning to the stream is certainly good for solving the problem of the young people, but Tusi is the south, and the rebellion in the south is just a trivial matter in the eyes of the Central Plains Dynasty, and sending a large army can be swept away in the past three or five days.
Although the Eastern Turks in the early Tang Dynasty have been wiped out, their strength still exists, and if they are allowed to lick their wounds, then ...... In the long run, it will become chaos.
Therefore, it is very good for the Emperor Taishang to think about it and solve the problem of the Eastern Turks, referring to the Qing Dynasty's policy towards Mongolia and Tibet.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan picked up a pen and wrote.
The first is to send monks from those monasteries to the Eastern Turks, not to stay in the Turks for three years, and not to send the believers to the Turks. Let all the Eastern Turks worship Buddhism, and only one person from each household should be left to pass on their ancestors, and the others must take refuge in Buddhism.
The second point is that he is the king of the family, but the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is a Manchu royal family, so marrying a Mongolian is not much of a problem. Although the Tang Dynasty was open-minded, it was generally a Han regime, and if you married a Turkic man, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty would be unstable.
It's just that Emperor Taishang had already expected this, and the Manchu Dynasty's and pro-feudal kings were in the final analysis the Han Dynasty's Tui'en Order, which was implemented according to the set of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The third point is to set up a system similar to the Dalai Panchen Lama, to enshrine gods among the Turks, so that they can worship Buddhism like the Khitan people in the later period, so that they will continue to be corrupted and their finances will continue to be consumed.
If this three-point poisonous plan is implemented, the Eastern Turks will be nothing more than fish and meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by the Tang Dynasty!
