Chapter 643: Wen Yanbo

In the original history, after Li Shimin destroyed Jieli, but did not completely solve the trouble of the Turks, but also organized the Turks and moved to live in the Monan area, becoming a barrier between the Tang Dynasty and the grassland people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But many people forget that the Turks are not dogs, but a complete wolf, when they can't beat the Tang Dynasty, they can only wag their tails and beg to pretend to be dogs, but when they are strong, they will become a man-eating wolf again, in fact, decades after Li Shimin destroyed the Turks, the Turkic Khanate was restored again, and made a comeback several times to the south, bringing heavy disasters to the people of the Central Plains.

It is worth mentioning that it was also from the beginning of the Turkic people that the Tang Dynasty decided to reuse the tradition of the Hu people, although many Hu generals made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but later the Tang Dynasty was also the Hu generals headed by An Lushan, which also responded to Lao Tzu's sentence "Woe, blessing depends, blessing, misfortune lurks." ”

It was precisely because of the above reasons that Li Xiu decided to change the Tang Dynasty's policy towards the Turks, or the entire Hu people, from the beginning. Originally, he had already persuaded Li Shimin to gradually move the remaining Turkic people on the steppe to the south to open up the wasteland, but he didn't expect to be opposed by some ministers, how could he not be annoyed?

"Hehe, there are a lot of ministers who oppose it, and the person who takes the lead among them doesn't talk about you, even His Majesty wants to give him three points!" Seeing Li Xiu's angry appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji replied with a smile.

"You're talking about...... Wei? Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and then asked with some uncertainty, after all, he could make Li Shimin give three points, except for the tendonous Wei Zheng, he really couldn't think of anyone else.

"Hahaha~, the horse guessed wrong this time, Wei Zheng is actually very supportive of the internal relocation of the Turks, but there is a difference between the location of the migration and the horse, and the real opponent of this matter is actually the new Zhongshu Ling Wen Yanbo!" Eldest Sun Wuji seemed to have known that Li Xiu would guess Wei Zheng, and said with a laugh at the moment.

"It turned out to be him!" When Li Xiu heard the name Wen Yanbo, he couldn't help but show a sudden expression, Wen Yanbo is not a simple person, he was born in the Wen family of Taiyuan, his father served as a bachelor of the Wenlin Pavilion in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he and his brother Wen Daya are both famous for literature, and when Li Yuan was in power, both of them held important positions.

However, Wen Yanbo's luck is a little not very good, a few years ago when Li Yuan was still in power, he once sent him to Bingzhou as a marching commander, but he met Jieli going south, and he was captured, and Jieli knew that he was an important minister around Li Yuan, so he forced him to ask him about the Tang Dynasty's troop deployment at the border pass, but Wen Yanbo would rather die than confide a word, and finally Jieli had no choice but to exile him to Yinshan, until Li Shimin defeated Jieli in Weishui, which forced Jieli to release Wen Yanbo back.

Wen Yanbo would rather die unyieldingly, and he has been herding sheep in the ghost place of Yinshan for several years, which also makes many people call him "Su Wu of the world", so he can be regarded as a blessing in disguise after he comes back, coupled with the relationship between his brother Wen Daya, so Wen Yanbo has also risen all the way, until the beginning of this year, he was just appointed as Zhongshu Ling and became one of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and because of his special experience, even Li Shimin also respected him very much.

"Wen Yanbo was captured by the Turks for several years, and he has been in contact with many steppe people in Yinshan, so he also knows a lot about things on the steppe, so he resolutely opposes the internal relocation of the Turks, because he believes that without the Turks, there will be a power vacuum on the grassland, so that other steppe tribes will sit big, and then a new Turk will appear, so it is better to support the Turks now, so that they can become the walls of the Tang Dynasty on the grassland, as long as there is a rising force on the grassland, Immediately send the Turks to nip each other in the bud! The eldest grandson Wuji spoke again at this time.

"Let the Turks deal with the steppe people who may rise, but has he thought about it, what if the Turks rise again?" Li Xiu was a little annoyed when he heard this, he still admired Wen Yanbo very much, but loyal ministers may sometimes do wrong things.

"It's also interesting to say, the person who opposed Wen Yanbo the most fiercely was Wei Zheng, and he was also in favor of moving the Turks inward, but he felt that it was a bit unkind to move the Turks to the south to open up wasteland, so he suggested that the Turks should be moved to Henan and other places, and then dispersed, so that it would not be long before there would be no more Turks!" The eldest grandson Wuji laughed again.

The Turkic people have always lived in the steppe with a dry climate, and if they move to the humid and humid south all of a sudden, they will not only have to face the problem of not adapting to the water and soil, but also have problems such as poisonous insects, epidemics, miasma, etc., and even if they adapt to the environment, they will have to reclaim wasteland, but where do they know how to farm? Therefore, in the short term, they can only rely on Datang to feed, it can be said that Datang let them live and let them die, these Wei Zheng they know better than anyone else, so they will be a little unbearable.

"Wei Zheng is just too square, where is the need to talk about benevolence and righteousness to the enemy? And even if, as they say, the Turks are moved to Henan and other places to live in a scattered manner, but the Turkic people are fierce, and the customs and habits are completely different, and it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the local people, and it is our people who will suffer at that time. Li Xiu sighed lightly at this time and commented on Wei Zheng.

As the so-called ass decides the head, Li Xiu, as a Datang person, naturally has to consider the problem from the standpoint of the people of the Tang Dynasty, as for the life and death of other foreign races, what does it matter to us? What's more, the Turks are still the generals of the defeated army, and it is impossible to negotiate conditions with the Tang Dynasty.

"Hahaha~, the words of the concubine are exactly the same as what His Majesty said, but you also know Wei Zheng's temper, it is simply stinky and hard, and His Majesty can't say anything about him for a while, fortunately, the difference between Wei Zheng and the concubine is not big, but Wen Yanbo's opinion is completely different from that of the concubine, which is the most troublesome!" Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but laugh again when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"Then what does Your Majesty mean?" Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji mention Li Shimin, Li Xiu hurriedly asked the question, the most important thing in this matter is to depend on Li Shimin's opinion, otherwise it is useless for the ministers below to quarrel fiercely.
