Chapter 453: The Sea Embraces All Rivers

Li Chengqian is satisfied with his future daughter-in-law, which is very good.

But in fact, this marriage that he is not satisfied with will inevitably be reached, because last year his father Li Shimin and the ministers had already decided on this family matter, unless the Su family committed a big crime, otherwise Li Shimin wanted to cancel it, and the ministers also wanted to stop it.

And a year ago, he had already given the Su family an edict of canonization, and the eldest daughter of Su Ji was the crown princess: the eldest daughter of Su Yan, the secretary of Weier, the crown of the clan, the etiquette of Qingcheng, chastity and nature, and the words and expressions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info for the spring palace, the three goodness of the real association, the concubine guard, the style of Chang Wanye. Prepare the decree, but the national chapter. It is the crown princess with her life. Go, Chin! Its glory is life, but it can be careless!

Li Chengqian went to Su's house to see his future daughter-in-law, and it didn't take many days for the first day of the first month to celebrate the New Year.

Ordinary people naturally have a happy New Year, but in the palace, the atmosphere of the New Year is not so warm, one is that the emperor just hung up last year, and the eldest grandson is still sick, and the third is the most important, the prince's wedding, the preparations began from the year before, and the people in the palace are getting more and more busy in the arrangement.

And Li Chengqian didn't have a chance to run out of the palace to find Wu Yuanqing to play, because he had to learn the etiquette of the big wedding from the etiquette officials of the Ministry of Rites, well, it was a rehearsal before.

Of course, the future crown princess Su will also be treated the same, and even the learning task is heavier, and she has to learn the etiquette in the palace from scratch.

Soon it was time for the big wedding, and the prince's marriage was extraordinary, stopping for seven days, and all the Manchu civil and military nobles in Chang'an attended.

A wedding, just the ceremony on the day of the big wedding can make the people watching the ceremony half tired to death, not to mention the celebration banquet after that, after a few days, Wu Yuanqing didn't even have the strength to wash his feet when he went home.

I used to think that getting married was tiring, but now I realize that it is very tiring to marry people, and it is even more tiring to marry the prince.

Since last year, especially after the death of the Emperor Taishang, Li Shimin has handed over all the military affairs to the crown prince Li Chengqian and asked him to deal with them.

For this reason, the ministers also made a fuss, and collectively wrote to the emperor asking the emperor to handle military affairs well according to the emperor's will, and not to be delayed due to sadness, but Li Shimin did not agree in any case.

Later, in June, the ministers made a fuss again and replied to the request to listen to the government, and this time Li Shimin agreed, but he played a trick and let Li Chengqian be appointed to handle the specific affairs.

In November, Li Jing, who was named a special advance after beating Tuyuhun, wrote again, asking Li Shimin not to wear filial piety clothes, but to follow the emperor's regular clothes to go to the Taiji Hall to deal with the government, but Li Shimin still did not agree.

Li Shimin is also stubborn enough, saying that if he doesn't deal with the government affairs, he won't deal with the government affairs, and no one can say anything.

It wasn't until his son Li Chengqian got married a year later that he was definitely busy making villains for the Li family, and Li Shimin took back the power and began to manage the government personally.

The first edict issued by Li Shimin after he began to deal with the government was to appoint the Turkic Ashina Sheer as the general of Zuo Xiaowei.

He was the son of the Khan of Chuluo, and at the age of eleven, he was known for his resourcefulness. Chuluo Khan appointed Sheer as the extension of the office; In the north of the desert to build a tooth tent, and the valley of desire to set up a separate jurisdiction over the various departments of the Eile.

In the ninth year of Wude, that is, the year when the Jieli Khan soldiers forced Li Shimin to sign the disgraceful Weishui Alliance in Chang'an, Xue Yantuo, Hui and other tribes rebelled against the Turks and defeated Desire Valley She. She'er sent troops to rescue Desire Valley, but was also defeated by Xue Yantuo. In the second year of Zhenguan, Sheer led his troops to the west and defected to the Khan Futu City, which left the Eastern Turks.

When the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhenguan, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty was far away, Ashina Sheer did not dare to come back and break hands with the Tang Dynasty to revive the Eastern Turks.

So he took advantage of the civil strife in the Western Turks, and the brothers of the Dulu Khan took the opportunity to take the opportunity to surrender, and suddenly sent troops to attack, captured nearly half of the territory of the Western Turks, obtained more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and established himself as Dubu Khan.

This guy is also a hero, originally a lost dog that escaped to someone else's account, but he found an opportunity to occupy half of the territory of the Western Turks.

The land area of the Western Turks is not smaller than that of the Eastern Turks destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, or even larger, just because it is located in the north of the desert, so there are few conflicts with the Tang Dynasty, and only in the territory close to the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty occasionally conflicted.

But Ashina Sheer was a little too anxious and eager to take revenge, because he was defeated by Xue Yantuo, so after he occupied half of the territory of the Western Turks, he thought about finding Xue Yantuo for revenge.

Sheer said to the tribes: "It was Xue Yantuo who first caused the chaos in our country, and I should avenge the first khan and destroy them." ”

The tribes discouraged: "We have just been given a piece of territory to the west, and we should hold our ground for the time being." Now that he has suddenly abandoned this territory to attack Xue Yantuo, the Western Turks will inevitably come to collect his homeland. ”

She'er didn't listen to the public's opinion and attacked Xue Yantuo's department in Mobei. The fighting lasted more than a hundred days. On the occasion of the accession of the Khan of Liwu, Sheer's subordinates suffered from the war for a long time, and most of them left Sheer to join Lishi. Xue Yantuo sent troops to attack, Sheer was defeated, fled to Gaochang, and collected the remnants of more than 10,000 people, and was afraid of the Western Turkic advance, so he led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty a year ago.

The Tang Dynasty's current practice for the Hu people who belong to the Tang Dynasty is to break up the old tribe and live with the Han people, and the old Eastern Turkic tribe with tens of thousands of people in this area is naturally no exception.

Scattered Sheer's tribes in the northern part of Lingzhou, and when She'er came to Chang'an, he directly let him stay in Chang'an, which could be regarded as separating him from his subordinates and seizing military power.

It is not entirely correct to say that he seized military power, because after arriving in Chang'an, the first thing Li Shimin did after taking charge of the government was to appoint him as the general of Zuo Xiaowei, which is quite remarkable.

You must know that the Twelve Guards generals are generally heavy responsibilities that can only be undertaken by the founding ministers, such as Wei Chi Gong, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chi Gong and others, so that a Hu person who has just been attached can be the Twelve Guards General, which shows that Li Shimin attaches great importance to Ashina Sheer.

However, I have to say that Li Shimin, as a wise man through the ages, has a really good vision of people.

What he valued, and several Hu generals who were entrusted with important tasks by him were very worthy of his attention.

Just like this Ashina Sheer, in the original history, he destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom with Hou Junji, and then followed Li Shimin's expedition to Goguryeo, and fought Xue Yantuo with Xue Wanche.

Others are also obsessed with the loss of thinking power, Qi Bi He Li are all famous generals in the Zhenguan period, and even Li Jing commented that Xue Wanche is not as good as Ashina Sheer and Zhi Li, Qi Bi He Li, this is all the knowledge of the ministers.

After arranging the official position of Ashina Sheer, Li Shimin immediately issued the second holy decree.
