Chapter 240: The Concubine

"Doesn't the prince want tens of millions of soldiers not to die? Doesn't the prince want thousands of families to be separated from their wives? Doesn't the crown prince want the two countries to continue to reconcile as they did decades ago? You are Prince In's. Wu Lu asked with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"It's not what Lone thinks, the Tang Dynasty is not your Tubo, you actually let the ministers make the country, Lone is just the prince, and it is up to the emperor to decide in the end." I don't understand that the two countries are as reconciled as ever, Li Wei doesn't take it as the same thing at all. Prince Ren is even more of a joke, and he has never taken it seriously. There is only one thing that makes Li Wei's heart move, and he can kill the Qinling. If this person dies, Tubo will be like the Southern Song Dynasty losing Yue Fei, as long as the plan is good, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will be immediately reversed. And because of some of his contributions to the Tang Dynasty, such as punctuation, the controversy continued, but the paper was cheaper, and most people recognized movable type printing, books would be popular, more people could learn knowledge, and there would be more talents. Cotton is popular, grain is harvesting, food and clothing are gradually worry-free, the people are abundant, and the national strength will be stronger. Of course, being rich does not mean being strong, but not being rich will definitely not be strong. It's not that there are no famous generals, and this battle has made many people reacquaint themselves with Pei Xingjian. Whether it is said or not, it is calculated, in the battle of the Southern Expedition, Pei Xingjian has the most credit, and then he goes to Xue Rengui, or to himself and Heiya Changzhi and Liang Jishou.

Otherwise, there would be no earl. This is a very heavy title, if you want to get a high lord, you can only have military merits, like Yan Liben is only a viscount until now.

In fact, the official position in Tibet sounds very strange, but if you understand it, it is very simple. The Tang Dynasty was very complicated, and the most practical thing was the office, also known as the ministry official, such as the prime ministers, down to the county order, Lizheng and so on. There are also virtual ranks, also called scattered officials, who have no real power, such as from the civil officials of the first rank of the civil official and the third division, to the general Shilang of the ninth grade, the cavalry general of the military attache to the lieutenant of the accompanying Rong, one is twenty-nine levels, and the other is thirty-one levels, which is a virtual rank and has no real power. But there are many ministers who confer the rank of dismissal as a reward.

The other is Xun, also known as Xunguan. The twelve turns are regarded as the second rank of the Shangzhu country to the first turn as the martial cavalry captain from the seventh grade. This is evolved from the Northern Dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a kind of reward and honorary title for meritorious heroes, not a real official position, the so-called product, just quite, can be subject to some of the positions of the field and Yongye field, others do not. The lightest of the four official positions, in the Tang Dynasty, it gradually evolved into a reward for the descendants of meritorious heroes and the children of powerful people, which is actually a reward for these meritorious heroes, well, even your descendants have positions.

Finally, there is the Jue, from the prince of the first rank to the baron of the fifth grade, if you want to obtain in addition to the disciples of the clan, only military merits can be obtained quickly. This one is very noble and can even be hereditary. From another aspect, it can also be seen that the Tang Dynasty emphasized military force and light literature.

came to the Tang Dynasty, and these official positions made Li Wei very confused.

This kind of heavy military atmosphere will not restore the Tang Dynasty to the invincibility of the early Tang Dynasty, but it will make the Tang Dynasty's martial arts not decline. If it were not for the civil strife, even if it was 500 or 600 years, it would be impossible for foreign enemies to wreak havoc on the Central Plains like the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Meng, Manchu and Qing dynasties.

Therefore, the biggest rival of Tibet is still on the Qinling Tomb.

The power of the masses is important, and individual leaders cannot ignore it. Han Xin's soldiers and Liu Bang's use of troops are different. The consequences of the use of troops by the Qinling Tomb and the use of troops by Zanpo are different. If Li Jing is still alive, Dafeichuan will definitely not fail. Even if it's about Lingqin.

It is not necessary to be close to Tibet, as long as there is peace, you can give it to Tibet, or give it to Zampu.

Li Wei was quite moved in his heart, Tuyuhun was not a day's work. Tubo handed it over to the Tang Dynasty, and now the pro-Tang tribes, some of which are settled in Liangzhou, some of which have begun to move to Lingzhou, and some of which are in Shanzhou. To the rear, about many people were reluctant to go back. Or send back the king of Heyuan, Murong Nuo, and Princess Honghua, most of them will be killed by the Tuyuhun tribes. It's not a one-day job, it needs to be done slowly.

In the final analysis, as long as Qin Ling dies, everything is possible.

But isn't it true that Tubo Zampu really means this, or is it a delaying tactic? Li Wei couldn't confirm it either.

So looking at the expression of this princess, she couldn't see it, and once again indecently picked up Li Wei's teacup and took a sip.

"You have your own tea ......," Li Wei said helplessly. The brain is moving, this woman is also a big trouble, and the future generation of Tubo uncrowned queens can't think that they are small, they will be young and naïve. The southwest line is her careless contempt, but there is wisdom, and there is even more courage, although there is also youth, but like Yao Yuanchong, he is just young and young, but he can faintly see some signs in the future.

"Why can't you drink, on the march, you don't eat in the same pot as the soldiers? Is this your hospitality? ”

"It's different," Li Wei endured back, ....... What is it to worry about with a girl, she wants to drink, let her drink, and said: "You have to wait, you can't be alone." ”

"There's no hurry, since I'm here, I also want to play for a while. By the way, didn't you say you'd send someone to show me around? ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you around."

"Okay, I want to take a look at your East Palace, as well as Taiji Palace, oh, by the way, and Daming Palace."

"You ......" simply, you go to the imperial city and the various government agencies of the Daming Palace to have a look, and understand the various intelligence of the Tang Dynasty together. With a stiff face, he said, "Donggong, you can take a look." Others, not solitary rights. ”

"Why so stingy. Prince, if you go to the city of Luo, you can see wherever you want, and whether you want to go or not? ”

Let me go to the city of Logos? Can you come back? Li Wei didn't answer directly. He clapped his hands and said, "Come on, bring some fruit." ”

Some fruit came up, and a plate of tender lotus root tubes, accompanied by snow-white cane sugar, gagged her mouth.

After tasting it, Wu Lu said, "It's delicious." ”

"It's not you Tubo, if it's delicious, stay in our Tang Dynasty, and give you delicious things every day."

Wulu didn't know Li Wei's caution towards her, and once discussed, went to Yangtong to kidnap her, and replied heartlessly: "It's okay to stay, I'm a princess in Tubo." What will be given in your Tang Dynasty, so be it, if you let your emperor make me a concubine, I will stay. ”

“……”

As if she didn't say anything about the concubine, and was afraid that she would say something shocking again, she immediately sent the Wulu clan away, and then came to the Daming Palace to report the matter one by one.

What is the art of balance, the way of the king, or the ability to deal with political affairs, Li Zhiyuan is above Li Wei, but he also doesn't understand military affairs, and even Li Wei is inferior. After Li Zhi heard this, he immediately called some important officials, including Pei Xingjian. In the First Battle of Nanzhao, Pei Xingjian's military ability finally entered Li Zhi's field of vision.

Li Wei talked to the Wulu clan again, and what about the concubine was naturally omitted.

Li Zhi looked at Pei Xingjian, the main planner of the Southwest Campaign was Pei Xingjian, and he had some experience.

Pei Xingjian pondered, and after a while said: "In the battle of the southwest, Tubo was defeated, but the minister has been watching the battle that night. The soldiers fought very fiercely, no less than our elite army of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial court wants to run *** Silla next year, and according to the views of the ministers, they can promise them a slowdown. Although it has been delayed for a long time, it is beneficial to Tubo to integrate Tuyuhun, but the minister has just heard that Tubo has been violently collecting and rampant expeditions against Tuyuhun, and it may not be fully successful, on the contrary, it is more beneficial to our dynasty. Connived at the fight between the Tubo royal family and the Non family, ordered the border not to move, cultivated the fields, and strictly guarded the beacon fire. When it came to the great changes in Tibet, it succeeded in one fell swoop. ”

This is a deliberate idea, not that Li Wei is stealing tricks from memory. After Xue Rengui's defeat, Pei Xingjian once analyzed all the marching routes and combat methods of the two generals for a long time. In the end, I estimated that when it came to Qinling's use of troops, even if it was himself, he might not be able to defeat him. Not only Pei Xingjian has this idea, but even Liu Renliang has this idea. It's just that this kind of self-destructive majesty, the two of them have never been able to open their mouths.

Li Wei didn't think about it so much, but when he heard that he wanted to run *** Silla again, he looked at his father in surprise. It has been a long time since I have been "supervising the country", and I don't know much about the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Seeing his expression, Li Zhi explained by the way: "King Famina of Silla rebelled against the people, causing the rebellion of ***. And according to the land of Baekje, he sent troops to defend it. I planned to cut off the Famin official and send his younger brother Kim In-wan back to serve as the king of Silla, and at the same time send troops to conquer Silla. Otherwise, the rebellion will be a vicious disease in the imperial court. ”

This son is a bit sideways, and if he talks about it, he may come up with some crooked tricks that can come in handy.

Li Wei was speechless when he heard it, this is not a solution. The best way is to move the people of Silla to the Central Plains to be completely sinicized, and then move the Han people to fill the past, so that the proportion of Han people accounts for the majority, and the Silla will be wiped out from the edition. Otherwise, it will be useless to change to a Silla king, this is a tenacious and shameless nation, and there will be ** if there is a chance. Thousands of years of Chinese history, including the mighty Yuan and Mongolia, have not even digested the country.

But no people in Lingnan are willing to move over, and besides, Liaodong and Saibei are also a disease. If we do not remove the bottom and wipe it out, the north will be the real long-term harm to China. Therefore, even if Li Wei has a half-understood knowledge of the later generations, there is no good way to solve it. So he kept silent.

Li Zhi looked at the other people again.

Li Jingxuan said: "The minister disagrees. The Tibetan people are not credible, and even if there is a covenant, in order to prevent accidents, troops must be sent to garrison. ”

Li Zhi nodded.

"If you indulge in the enemy, you will suffer, and if you defend the border, you will die old."

Another question, even Pei Xingjian frowned. Not only that, but the territory is so long, it is not easy to defend against it. If there are fewer troops, it cannot be prevented, and if there are too many troops, it is a heavy burden. The best defense is to attack, and if you fight the enemy, the border will be peaceful. Although Li Jingxuan is a layman, it is not easy to solve this problem.

"Besides, the defeat of Dafeichuan was caused by Xue Rengui's underestimation of the enemy, and Tubo may not be so terrible, otherwise the battle in the southwest would not have been so miserable. Tibet sued for peace several times, but because of the heavy burden of war in the country, the peace was alleviated. Since last year, our dynasty has begun to have a bumper harvest, and the enemy has a burden, but my Datang has no burden. Moreover, the minister also got some news, I heard that the defeat of Tibet, many tribes began to make some moves, and Your Majesty also knew that in recent times, the number of ministries in contact with our dynasty has been increasing. At this time, I will make peace with Tibet, how will these tribes think? There is discord within Tibet. As long as you don't underestimate the enemy, select warriors as pawns, seek good generals, and don't go deep alone, you can succeed. Also, last year, the southwest only had a small victory over Tubo, and Dafeichuan was still a big defeat. In this case, the DPRK agreed to sue for peace, what will the other ministries think? ”

In front of it, it is rhetoric that soldiers are not only brave and strong, but like the likes of powerful tigers entering the army, it will only be a bad thing, not a good thing. Courage is a must, but also discipline and obedience to commands. Therefore, later Qi Jiguang only used honest peasant soldiers, and never used any heroic high-rollers in the market. Seeking good generals is even more empty talk. Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui and Liu Renliang were all honed in the military, if Pei Xingjian did not have the experience of protecting the capital of the Western Regions, his military cultivation might not be so high. If you really read a few books on the art of war, you can become a good general?

Don't the other ministries know that the so-called covenant between nations is just a child's play, and in the end it is still relying on fists?

But after all, it is agreed after the defeat, and it will be imitated by the other subjugated tribes. Anyway, the Tang Dynasty was hurt, ask for peace, and everything will be fine. Therefore, the last question made Pei Xingjian even more irrefutable. In fact, there are some ideas, but he has little qualifications, and it is difficult to mention them, that is, Liu Renliang, he can't make a decision, let alone talk about it.

Li Zhi looked at the curtain and asked, "What does the queen mean?" ”

"But let Your Majesty decide," Wu Zetian said.

The past two years have been Wu Zetian's lowest moment, and cotton has made her influence slightly better among the people, but the ministers of the DPRK and China are still very resistant to her. The relatives were not angry, Xu Jingzong was not angry, and even folded her to the bottom. Therefore, he is acting more and more low-key, and even the review and reading are becoming less and less, and he would rather drag it out and let Li Zhi be the master.

Li Zhi looked at Li Wei again and asked, "Hong'er, what do you suggest?" ”

In Li Wei's opinion, he agreed. Since even Pei Xingjian didn't doubt the "sincerity" of the Wulu clan, it was probably right. Then removing the Qinling is the number one thing. What other tribes think, whether it is Turkic or Silla, do not emigrate, but have to fight, but also keep fighting, very dissipative governance methods. Being a low-key person for the time being, allowing a few years, and defeating Tubo in one fell swoop is the last word. Now I want this face, and I will eat the bitter fruits later.

But her mother is low-key, and she has to be even more low-key.

Whatever is in the Tang Dynasty, you can help some if you can, and if you can't help, you won't help. Seeing that in a few years, will he die inexplicably, it may not be known, he is dead, what does the Tang Dynasty have to do with him? Keeping Dan to take care of the sweat was done by Wen Tianxiang, and he couldn't do it himself. can only say that according to his own temperament, the traitor must have nothing to do with him.

The main thing is about Qinling, a big victory, and the Manchu officials are arrogant again, but how can they convince themselves? said that if you don't pay attention to it, there will still be hundreds of thousands of soldiers buried in the hands of this person in the Tang Dynasty in the future?

If you can't say it, no matter what you say, it's not convincing.

Therefore, without hesitation, he replied, "My son does not know." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
