Chapter 49: Showdown (1)
Welcoming out of the palace, more than a dozen old men stood outside the palace gate, waiting to be seen, all of them knew each other, all of them were the eight surnames of the party, as well as one of the most important elders of Snow Mountain Qiang and Black Mountain Qiang.
When he saw Li Wei, he immediately bowed down and saluted.
Li Wei helped him and said, "Aren't you happy to have a guest come from afar?" Ladies and gentlemen, don't be polite. ”
Take them to the East Palace.
He congratulated the wild moon again, and took out many valuable gifts. Li Wei said: "Everyone, you live a hard life, why bother to break the bank? ”
"This is what the ministers should do, and this year, the life of our departments is far better than before." An elder of the Snow Mountain Qiang said humbly
The other old men are all ranks.
But from the heart, I didn't know before, but after the oppression of Tibet, the party knew the preciousness of the previous Tang Dynasty's policy of incorruptibility. At the same time, they also taught their children to learn the Tang Dynasty written books, and their lives were improved, and last year, only the Tang Dynasty army and the cultivated land planted reached more than 40,000 hectares, and more than 7 million stone grain was collected (Zizhi said that the black tooth Changzhi Tuntian was 5,000 hectares, and the annual harvest was 5 million stones, impossible, with the output of the Tang Dynasty, and the way of wide and thin harvest, even if the land was fertile, 5,000 hectares at most 1 million stones, indicating that the actual area of Tuntian may have reached 30,000 hectares). Qinghai, including its party members, did not worry about food and clothing last year, on the contrary, Qinghai stored a large amount of grain. This year, the arable land is increasing again, and it is possible that the grain production will be increased, and now the party members can see the bright future described to them by the emperor.
"I am also happy in my heart, and I have not broken my promise."
"Your Majesty, when the people of all ethnic groups in Qinghai had a bumper harvest last year, almost every household missed Your Majesty day and night, and they really wanted to go down to Qinghui ......," said an old man in the Fine Seal Department. Before he finished speaking, Minister Tuoba interrupted: "Seal Mu, don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you go to Qinghai at will." ”
"Yes, yes. But Your Majesty, this time I heard that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to the Turks, and our various departments were deeply favored by Your Majesty, and in addition to congratulating the talented people with good news, how about asking Your Majesty to allow our departments to participate in the war? ”
"You are kind, I understand it, but you have to prevent Tubo from ......" stopped, and saw that the chamberlain led Zheng Gongchu in.
is not a person of all ethnic groups in the party, not only the woman of the Zheng family, but the future master of the East Palace...... I was afraid that standing outside the palace, there would be a lot of gossip, Pei Yuhe's personal palace maid directly brought her in, and the guards on duty naturally did not dare to stop her.
Li Wei was a little surprised, he really entered the palace?
It's not so easy, many people of the Zheng family in Luoyang disagree, but Zheng Gongchu's own mind is very thoughtful, and it is difficult to distinguish whether it is curiosity or admiration, but after hearing Pei Yuhe's personal palace maid finish speaking, he has been half-pushing and half-pushing, seeing this situation, the people of the Zheng family are not good to stop it. I don't know if this is the queen's idea or the emperor's idea, and soon after, several major families want to join forces to "force" the emperor to re-Songhai City, and finally have to agree.
But some people are still not ashamed of the royal family style, isn't this not yet the door? Although it is a good intention, it is against etiquette.
Zheng Gongchu is still young, only one year older than Wei Yue, and he doesn't understand the festival. When I came to the palace, I was full of joy. With big eyes, he looked at this conversation curiously.
Li Wei said, "Sit." ”
Zheng Gongchu sat down.
I didn't know her identity, and I didn't dare to ask, the elder of the Black Mountain Qiang had already bowed down, knocked on the ground with his head, and knocked on the sound, Li Wei had to help him up, his head was broken, and some blood stains burst out, and said: "If you have something to say, you don't have to say it slowly."
Zheng Gongchu was even more curious, he had heard at home that after Taizong's death, some of him scratched his face, some cut his ears, and some tore his eyes. Li Wei's eyes skimmed over her face, and he thought in his heart that this girl seemed to be very quiet, but she was not small, following behind her, looking at the dead man who hanged herself, and today she saw blood bursting out of the head of the elder Black Mountain Qiang, and she was not afraid. I don't know what kind of character it is.
Without much thought, he helped him back to the Hu bed.
The old man said again: "Your Majesty, our clan has never helped Your Majesty, but we have also received a great favor from Your Majesty, so let us repay it once, otherwise it will be difficult for the ministers to explain to their clansmen when they go back." ”
Li Wei was groaning.
He read the comments of some people in later generations, saying that the Turkic rebellion was caused by the Tang Dynasty's oppression, and the Tang Dynasty led its people to fight in the east and west, and the tribesmen were overwhelmed and harassed, so they rebelled. Believe. After coming to the Tang Dynasty, I realized how ridiculous this and the statement were, in order to appease, the Tang Dynasty almost took the people of the Central Plains and provided for these Hu people to make them strong again. As for the conscription, if you raise such a Hu person and are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, don't you conscript? Are they really superior? It is also said that Tubo helped the Tang Dynasty resist the Great Eclipse, but Li Wei did not see it, but only saw that the Tubo was tacitly weakening the rule of the Tang Dynasty in tacit agreement with the Great Eclipse.
I don't know if these experts are dizzy with bricks, is it a good thing for China that there is a big Tibetan, a great Turkic, a great Jurchen, and a great Khitan? Although we are united, we cannot distort it.
Especially for conscription, the overall combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty army is declining now, and it is a good thing to dispatch troops to cooperate, so I don't know if these party members will have any thoughts when they see the combat effectiveness of the general army in the Tang Dynasty? Very important. At present, these party members are happy and convinced, but Li Wei is still very jealous of the Western Xia in history, this nation not only made the Song Dynasty suffer a lot, defeated the Liao State, and even when the Jin State was strong, he did not dare to go west, Genghis Khan died in the rebellion of this nation.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "How many warriors can you send out for the entire tribe of your party?" ”
A dozen old men thought for a while, and Minister Tuoba replied, "There can be about seventy or eighty thousand soldiers." ”
This is the maximum, the battle of Qinghai in the past two years lasted for a long time, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo both suffered a lot, and the party members did not get any benefits in this whirlpool. This turned 80,000 soldiers, including Montenegro Qiang.
There won't be a problem for now.,But we have to step up and take advantage of the fact that they haven't grown.,Sinicize them.。 So he said: "In this way, you will draw out 5,000 soldiers and go to Fengzhou to join Cheng Dudu's army." "Even if you use a fast horse to inform you, you have to delay time, you have to recruit the people, and you have to hurry, so you can only have time to meet the army of Fengzhou.
He also said: "It just so happens that the Shanghuang Festival is coming, and there are some activities in the palace, so you can watch it with me." ”
"Whoa."
After answering, Minister Xi Feng said again: "Actually, if Your Majesty goes on an expedition, he will definitely win a great victory. ”
This sentence somewhat aroused Li Wei**. Staying in this deep palace, just dealing with the government and politics, that's what he should do, but he still has to intrigue every day, and Li Wei is used to it and still doesn't like it. However, his career in the army was full of enthusiasm, and he had a very good appetite for Li Wei. It's not that if you are an emperor, you can't go on an expedition, in history, Emperor Zhu Zhen entered Mongolia five times and killed a skeleton who wanted to recover Mongolia's remnants to cry and call his mother, and the history books did not comment that he should not do this.
Moreover, there is also Pei Xingjian at the helm, there will be no problem with work, but thinking of his father's mandate, Pei Xingjian is the commander, the servant Qing Shaoqing Li Siwen, the governor of Yingzhou Zhou Daowu, the governor of Youzhou Li Wenlai, the governor of Fengzhou Cheng Wuting and Cao Huaishun are the deputy marshals, which clearly has the meaning of constraints.
Among the five people, Cheng Wuting is about his mother's person, and Cao Huaishun and himself may not catch a cold. Li Siwen is Li Ji's younger brother, and he can't be said to be his mother's person, but at least his father's person. The latter two themselves also rarely interact, Li Wenlai, the son of Li Shenfu, a famous general of the Xiangsegong royal family, Zhou Daowu has some origins with himself, which is also difficult to say. His father was Zhou Shaofan, one of the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, who married his grandfather Li Shimin's daughter, Li Mengjiang, the daughter of Princess Wei Guifei. Zhou Daowu has been raised in the palace as a hero since he was a child, and if he is loyal to anyone, he and Li Wenlai will probably only be loyal to their father.
So even Pei Xingjian was not very relieved, he was afraid that there would be a demon moth like Xue Rengui and Guo Zhifeng, and Zhang Qianxun was transferred from the Qinghai Army.
The Eastern Turkic riots, such a major event, my parents are thinking about constraints, if I personally take command of the expedition, what kind of thoughts will I have?
Thinking of this, I sighed in my heart, let's stay up first, with my father's body and bones, and I am not willing to be lonely, I jumped out to deal with government affairs again, and I don't have about two or three years to live. After getting through this period of time, he couldn't say it, so he shook his head: "Don't use it, Pei Qing'er is far above me with soldiers." ”
The people of the party do not believe it, but this time the Tang Dynasty sent 300,000 troops, and it will not be much of a problem to deal with the Turks.
Li Wei sent people to take them down to settle down.
Zheng Gongchu asked curiously, "Your Majesty, they are party members. ”
"Hmm."
"Your Majesty is very gracious to them."
I couldn't hear whether it was a good word or a derogatory word, and replied: "Little lady Zheng, the party members are loose because of the clan, but their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, our army was strong, but there was the defeat of Yehu Gorge. This part is loyal to our dynasty and should be favored. ”
"Yes, the concubine has said a lot."
Shangya, the festival of the palace celebration began, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian actually returned to the palace rarely, and sent someone to call Li Wei over. But at this time, one of the most important meetings in Tibet began.
After a long journey, and sneaking in, Mangsaro returned to the city of Raksha.
Seeing Li Wei's kindness, Wulu took a reassuring pill and finally took the first step. It's not that if you hug your son, you can immediately become the new Zampu of Tubo. It is necessary to obtain the consent of the important ministers in the country to inherit the position of Zampu. With Li Wei, the emperor will be set down first. The position of Zampu is set, and the righteousness is in his hands. Well, if the majority of ministers agree, some concessions must be made to the Ron brothers. I didn't dare to meet with the mother and son at the same time, and at this time, I regretted that I had Meng Lang at the beginning, and I had been openly hostile to the Qinling, and I sneered at him many times, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of this meeting. quietly sent his son to his mother's house in the same tribe of Yang, and Luo didn't dare to let it go in some cities, so he came to the tooth tent of the Qin Tomb.
There were many magnates and ministers who opposed the dictatorship of the Lun brothers, but they were afraid of the power of the Lun brothers and the army they controlled. It's the best time to talk, but it's not much that Lu himself is not sure that he can talk properly.
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Non Qinling was a little surprised, this time he kept it secret, and Non Qinling didn't know about Zampu's death until now.
He was arranging Qinghai affairs, preparing for his third brother to send troops, not seeking merit, and supporting the Eastern Turkic rebellion from afar to restrain the Tang army. But thinking about the consequences, even if it is a small defeat, it is of great strategic significance to the whole situation, but not necessarily many ministers can see it, and even if they can see it, some ministers will make a fuss about it.
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Lun Qinling was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, what is the matter with this troublesome princess?
Still said, "Let her in." ”
Even Wu Zetian looked down on him, and besides, there was no Lu clan.
An important meeting in Tibet kicked off...... (To be continued.)
