Chapter 427: The Woman with a Big Mouth and a Long Tongue
Only a small half of the Tuyuhun people returned to their territory alive, and it was not clear how they went back and how Fu Yun explained their past, but the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was extremely angry when he got the news.
In a fit of rage, Li Shimin immediately sent an envoy to Tuyuhun to reprimand. Looking back, the crown prince and Wu Yuanqing concealed that the emperor sent troops to follow the envoys, Li Shimin did not pursue it, if anyone dares to use troops and horses on weekdays, no matter how much it is a big crime, but since it prevented a loot and saved the people of the Tang Dynasty, this matter has not been mentioned, and the merits and demerits are offset.
In September, it is almost late autumn, the autumn tiger has passed, everything has begun to turn from green to yellow, but the land of Shandong and Henan has continued to rain and flood, and more than 40 states have been affected.
The natural disaster came suddenly, Li Shimin originally thought that if Tuyuhun Fuyun did not come to the conscription of the Tang Dynasty again this time, he would send troops to attack, and the attack route was discussed with the generals.
As a result, the flood in Shandong, Henan disrupted all the planning. Don't think that the land of Shandong and Henan is the two provinces of the later generations, in the Tang Dynasty, these two places refer to the east of Yaoshan, that is, the four places of Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and Hebei in the later generations. More than 40 states are almost equal to the entire territory of these four provinces.
Compared with the attack on Tuyuhun, of course, the disaster situation in the country is more important, so Li Shimin urgently sent several important ministers to bail out, Yongfeng, and the state and the three important granaries of Hanjiacang in Luoyang are at his disposal, and the Yicang in the state and county is also released by the government.
There was a disaster in other places, and Wu Yuanqing, who was far away in Chang'an, was too busy to follow.
First of all, you need to send an official document to transfer grain, Sinong Temple is a signature link that can not be bypassed, and after the grain allocation is completed, there are documents sent from all over the country, and you also need to sign to confirm, and the signature here is also sent to the household department, and the household department is also sent to the emperor.
Fortunately, in October, Li Shimin left the Jiucheng Palace, where he had lived for half a year, and returned to Chang'an, otherwise the messenger would be exhausted to death just by exchanging documents.
From September to the end of the year, basically the entire Datang was busy with disaster relief, not only to release grain for disaster relief, but also to help the people build houses. I have to say that the ancient times were not stronger than the later generations in this regard, no matter whether the disaster was serious or not, the ones who should help you repair will help you repair them, so that you can have a nest to spend the winter.
In the Hereafter, unless you are severely afflicted, you will not be cared for.
Li Shimin is a good emperor, good to the people, the people are naturally full of gratitude and respect for him as an emperor, the death row prisoner who was released last winter, after living with his family for a year, reached the time limit for questioning and beheading, none of them escaped and reported to the yamen on time.
Li Shimin was deeply satisfied with this, so with a stroke of the pen, he pardoned all these people.
It is said that at that time, all these people came to the Suzaku Gate, knelt on the ground and wept in gratitude to Dade, and wept with joy.
It wasn't until Li Shimin sent his servants out to dissuade them many times that these people shouted long live and left step by step.
As for Tuyuhun, although he was unable to send troops because of the disaster, at the end of the year, when the secret agents of the hundred cavalry in Tubo sent back the news that Tubo had just subdued Yangtong, and then sent a large-scale increase in troops in the direction of the Tuyuhun border in the north, Li Shimin immediately understood that this was because the Tubo envoys had already returned, because of the bloody conflict between the envoys and Tuyuhun, Tubo was ready to retaliate against Tuyuhun with troops.
So, Li Shimin sent an envoy named Feng Deyao to Tubo to comfort him.
As for how to understand this comfort, the benevolent will see the wise and the wise will see the wise.
After Wu Yuanqing heard the news, the first sentence that came to his mind, the emperor can really bend. Yes, Wu Yuanqing felt that Li Shimin was twisting and turning, and the word "comfort" was a clever name to cover up his true intentions.
To say something unpleasant, everyone is just hiring for the first time, and Tubo is not a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, what reason do you have to soothe.
The word "soothing" is used between countries, and it can only be used by the suzerainty to the subject country.
Therefore, the real purpose of the envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty to Tubo this time is definitely not to comfort, but to have other intentions, and the purpose can only be Tuyuhun.
Wu Yuanqing didn't know what Shang Nang said when he went to Jiucheng Palace to meet Li Shimin, but he must have talked to Li Shimin about the Tuyuhun issue, or did he say it before, if Tubo wants to expand northward, it will inevitably use force against Tuyuhun.
And Li Shimin has long been dissatisfied with Tuyuhun, not only attacking and harassing the criminals, but also often blocking the Silk Road, I don't know how much harvest Datang has lost, and if there is a chance to get rid of this thorn in the eye, Li Shimin will definitely not let it go.
Therefore, when he learned that Tubo was sending troops to the northern border, Li Shimin sent envoys to appease him, and the fundamental purpose was actually to reach an understanding with Tubo on the issue of Tuyuhun, or the agreement was more accurate.
Just like the Tibetan envoys came to the Tang Dynasty to meet with the Tang Dynasty, in order to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, to understand the Tang Dynasty, and also to test the Tang Dynasty's views on Tuyuhun.
The envoys of both sides all had the same purpose, to exchange views on the situation in Tuyuhun, to reach a consensus, and to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
"But why did you send Feng Deyao?" Wu Yuanqing asked puzzled.
"Why can't it be Feng Deyao?" Li Chengqian also asked puzzled.
"I don't know this man." Wu Yuanqing said that it may be the reason why he is not active in the court, and he really doesn't know what this person named Feng Deyao does.
"You don't understand anything, my father just understands, since my father sent him, it must be believed in his ability." Li Chengqian said.
"Well, I don't know this guy, but I know that this guy is a big mouth." Wu Yuanqing said with a sigh.
"You don't know him, so how did you know he was a long-tongued woman?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.
"I said in a dream, do you believe it?" Wu Yuanqing shrugged and said.
", you're here again." Li Chengqian scolded with a smile.
