Li Wei hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it's not about supporting the army and respecting yourself, it's about raising tigers."

It's just an Eastern Turk, and it's about what you can deal with at your own expense.

But not only the Eastern Turks, the Lun brothers are eyeing the tiger, and the Great Food has been coveting the Hezhong region, in fact, the Great Eclipse has entered the Hezhong region, and many countries in the Hezhong region have surrendered to the Dashi respectively, and they have not paid much tribute to the Tang Dynasty in recent years.

As for the two obscene countries in the east, they really don't care much about the current Tang Dynasty. Silla is just disgusting, and it will still be a disgusting country in the future. When it comes to wearing it, it's just disgusting, but many people ignore the dream that they have always wanted to build a great Goryeo, and if nothing changes, they will change, because of this, wishful thinking, will be the number one thug in a certain country (wait and see). In ancient times, the kingdom was only a coward, but the crimes he committed later made Li Wei unbearable.

This is a, the idea of later people, brought to the Tang Dynasty in advance, but also to eliminate these two countries in advance, not to eliminate, in the future, the mentality of these two countries will always not be the allies of China in the future, on the contrary, waiting for the opportunity to move at any time, trying to serve China. The beasts by the river have returned to China, and the two countries are about to engage in a tragic Liao war, and who wins and who loses after the war is doomed to the destruction of these two countries.

But there is a big food, there is Tibet, and it will end up like a fish in the throat. Coupled with the riots in the Eastern Turks, even if Li Wei understands military affairs, he has a headache.

If I think about it carefully, because I am a professional, I have studied history slightly, but I have not studied it deeply, and I am not clear about this history. Even if it is clear, the current Ashina Gulu and Mo Si brothers, as well as Sun Wanrong, except for one Chop Wanrong who can be found, most of the other two can't be found, and even the names are not later names.

So, think about it from a different angle.

There are many factors in the rise of the Eastern Turks in the Later East, such as Wu Zetian killing some capable generals, which is also very important. Can Liu Bang compare with Han Xin with soldiers? If Silla didn't have a Kim Famin, could he bargain from the Tang Dynasty again and again? Tubo didn't talk about Qinling, can it defeat Xue Rengui? Then the Turks also produced a few heroes. One positive and one negative, so the Tang army was repeatedly defeated.

There is another factor, Wu Zetian changed the dynasty, and there was a lot of rebellion at home, so it is possible that the mother will focus her attention on the country and suffer abroad. Coupled with the fact that his mother did not understand military affairs, the Turks rose to prominence.

The ability of the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty has declined, there are no famous generals, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, and Liu Renliang are all old, only the black tooth Changzhi and Wang Fangyi are left to take advantage of a little, and in the younger generation, whether it is Xue Ne, Guo Yuanzhen, or Zhang Qianxun, they cannot be compared with Pei Xingjian. is a slightly inferior heavy general, such as Li Jinxing and others, one is a Hu person, and the other cannot be compared with Pei Xingjian, he can command tens of thousands of people, and he can command hundreds of thousands of people, and his talent is tight.

This is what Li Wei is most worried about.

The combat capability of soldiers is also declining, and in the early Tang Dynasty, tens of thousands of people could launch a large-scale battle, but now, with more than 100,000 people, it may not be able to win. The greater the number of people, the higher the requirements for the commander, but how to find this commander's talent?

If he appears, he will protect some useful generals, at least Wang Fangyi and Heiya Changzhi, and they can't let their mother be unjustly killed. You can't let your mother change the dynasty, once this happens, you will end up entangled, no different. What kind of plan is to do it when you can do it, and you can't save your own life, how can you talk about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and China?

People always have some selfish thoughts, thinking of this, and thinking of the current political situation, I haven't really controlled the politics yet, and my mother's means of harmony are also quite chilling, so I said: "Qiuqing, just follow your policy." ”

Take a gamble.

But from now on, we must pay attention to the situation in the Eastern Turks, and we must not let them form a general trend. That is to say, it can be a small mess and have the right to train the army in actual combat. It is also necessary to cooperate with the Wulu clan, no matter whether the Wulu clan has a good impression of the Tang Dynasty in the end, or is disgusted, without the Qinling Tomb of using soldiers like a god, the threat of Tubo will be reduced by half. From now on, it is necessary to conscientiously train generals and conduct large-scale military training.

Qiu Renjie said: "Your Majesty, that's exactly the case, the minister also knows that this seems to be a lie, but if you can't bear it, it will be a big mess, and now it's a small pain...... Bear with it first, if Datang loses His Majesty, it will be a great pain. ”

Speaking of which, thinking that once His Majesty loses the battle with the Empress Dowager and makes the two ancestors deposed, and the future of the Tang Dynasty, Qiu Renjie will fight a cold war, and it is conceivable that the darkest time of the Tang Dynasty will come......

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly bowed and said, "Qiu Shilang, please accept my bow." ”

Originally smart by nature, Wu Zetian cultivated for a period of time, and did a lot of things for Li Wei, and he understood the political situation more clearly than before. Qiu Shilang is not a minister, if it weren't for the sake of the raccoon, how could he say this.

"Wanyi, everyone knows that the minister is His Majesty's number one confidant, this is the minister's duty, don't dare to take this big gift," Qiu Renjie gave a false hand. And said: "The hardest thing is to ...... alone."

refers to Pei Yan, and it is precisely because of Pei Yan's connection that Wu Zetian's palm is controlled by the court. If he finds this person's handle, demotes this person, or dismisses him, Wu Zetian's limbs will be removed, but Xu Jingzong can deal with it at the beginning, not to mention Ming Chongyan, even the six princes are not harmful. However, Pei Yan and Qiu Renjie were also at a loss.

Whether it is abolished or not, there must be at least one incriminating evidence, but he spent a lot of financial resources and manpower to go down, but he did not find a single piece of useful evidence.

If you don't think far, you may be confused by this person.

"Qiu Qing, don't worry, there is still Pei Qing's strategy."

Said it again.

Pei Xingjian also had no choice, and he was worried that he was old, so he came up with a very vicious strategy. This is the ultimate tactic, just in case, once it is used, there will be no arrow to turn back, and Li Wei does not want to use it until he has no choice.

"It's one by one" Qiu Renjie said to his lips, and finally couldn't help but say nothing.

This change of monarchs and ministers finally decided that Li Zhi wanted to interfere in the performance, and Li Wei watched the political situation in which his father fooled and interfered.

However, one piece of good news finally dissolved some of the dark clouds that pressed over Luoyang.

Pei Xingjian escorted Ashina Duzhi and Li Shaluo and returned to Luoyang.

Li Zhi had a banquet in Shangyang Palace and said to Pei Xingjian: "Qing has literary and military talents. ”

"I dare not be ashamed."

Li Wei didn't say anything, Wenwucai didn't see it on this day, why is he still the second thousand-year-old?

So Cheng Wuting was appointed as the governor of Fengzhou, Pei Xingjian added the general of the right guard of the school, and was the general of the march of Dingxiangdao, with 180,000 generals, and controlled Cheng Wuting and Youzhou Governor Li Wenlai, Cao Huaishun and others, a total of nearly 300,000 troops, in order to fight the Turks.

Slightly less than the number of troops in history, the number of troops in history reached more than 300,000 troops in the history of the Eastern Turks, which was the largest number of troops in the history of the Tang Dynasty. However, he still requisitioned nearly 300,000 troops, which shows Li Zhi's anger. And there has been another change, the weapons are sharper, and they are not all benefits, better weapons, which increase the cost of the war and also increase the burden on the economy.

Unlike Tubo, it was a wild dog, at most, when passing by, it threw a few more bones and bit itself, and it would be angry, but not very angry. All the nobles of the Turkic rebellion this time have received the favor of the Tang Dynasty, and even most of them have studied in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, cultivated their literary and martial strategies, and constantly rewarded them at every turn. Therefore, this rebellion, Li Zhi was furious.

Pei Xingjian calmly replied: "The minister is ordered." ”

I have read many newspapers along the way, if there are few troops, I dare not say that there are so many troops, and there is not much problem before the chalk suppression of this storm.

Ashina Duzhi and Li Shaluo immediately raised their wine glasses and congratulated: "Your Majesty the Emperor, General Manager Pei will definitely win the battle." ”

Li Zhi just smiled, covered his sleeves, and drank the water and wine.

Li Wei suddenly asked: "Ashina Duzhi, Li Shalu, why do you want to rebel?" ”

Wu Zetian tugged Li Wei's sleeve and hinted to Li Wei that since the people had surrendered, the matter should not be mentioned again. This is also the Tang Dynasty's usual policy towards the Hu people, and it cannot be said that it is all bad, so that when fighting, the fighting spirit is insufficient, although it is easy to rebel, it is also easy to surrender. When he saw that the wind was not good, he immediately restrained himself and came to surrender and ask for peace.

"Queen Mother, let the sons deal with it." Li Wei did not acquiesce to his mother's hints.

Ashina knelt on the ground and said carefully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister has no objection at all, otherwise General Pei Da led his troops to come to the front of my garrison, why didn't the minister resist?" ”

"Really? Ashina Duzhi, you have been captured poorly, and when you arrive in Kyoto, you will be under the control of the imperial court in the future. To be honest, it will be good for you in the future, and if you are not honest, you have probably heard about my methods. Li Wei's voice was not high, but his tone was very cold when he spoke.

"There is no ...... in the truth"

"I still want to be cunning!"

Li Wei slapped the table and shouted angrily.

Ajana was so frightened that he shuddered.

For Li Zhi, Ashina Duzhi is not afraid, it is this new emperor who is afraid. He didn't see what the people of the Central Plains called benevolence, but only saw that Qinghai today is from Fuluochuan to Chihai ...... "and then to the vast Dafei", so good plains, only a piece of green is left. I know well, but the remnants of Mohe Khan in Qinghai do not dare to scatter the people on these Qingchuan. scattered and captive, so they had to stay in some valleys and steal peace. Even the Tibetan martial arts on Zanpo were helpless.

There has been no obvious rebellion, and it is precisely the fear of this new emperor.

"To say or not to say." Li Wei once again ignored Li Zhi's displeasure and asked.

"The minister is not a rebellion," Ashina Duzhi said in a low voice: "But the minister is also at fault, and he was instigated by the Qinling." ”

Li Wei asked for exactly this sentence, and then asked again: "Then on whether Qinling has sent an envoy to the Eastern Turks?" ”

"This, the minister doesn't know, but the minister thinks that it will probably be sent."

There is no one who can enter the banquet, people are real nerds, and when they hear this, half of them will understand. It is not uncommon for the emperor to use it, and even set his eyes on the irrelevant Europa. However, how to find the two Asid exactly?

Pei Xingjian and Li Wei discussed for a long time, believing that under the conditions of peace, as long as the envoys sent by the Qinling Tomb to instigate, there would be no doubt that it would be reversed, and the Tang Dynasty would not really sit back and wait for the development of the situation. However, they all set their eyes on the various chieftains of the Ashina tribe, and they did not expect that the Ashid people would rebel. After all, the Tang Dynasty treated this patriarch with the surname very favorably, and originally treated the Hu people very softly, but it was even more gentle to the patriarchs and patriarchs of Ashina, even if this one did not produce many generals who did their best for the Tang Dynasty.

But on Qinling, I thought of it.

Wu Zetian muttered: "This treatise on Qinling ......"

I was even more impressed.

The purpose of Li Wei's questioning was not to let everyone understand the martial strategy of the Qinling, but to verify it. After asking, I didn't ask again, but I was thinking about how to make the mother and son of the Wulu clan take the throne immediately, only when they are on the throne, can they better restrain the Lun brothers. But now the Lu clan doesn't even dare to make the news of Zampu's death public, and when their mother and son take the throne, how young will they be?

"If you get up, the imperial court will continue to treat you favorably, but the imperial court has the same purpose as before, and regarded your people as our subjects of the Tang Dynasty, so this time Pei Qing went on an expedition only to bring you to the capital and enjoy the glory and wealth, and did not move your clansmen. You and Li Shalu ascended to the throne, so to speak, the imperial court forcibly supported them. I hope that you will know your mistakes and correct them, and you will also write to your people, so that they must be loyal to the court in the future. Your people's loyalty to the court is the guarantee of your wealth. If I continue to rebel, you know, I am not weak and can be bullied. ”

According to the rules, when the two were brought to the capital, they would be placed under house arrest. For example, raising two pigs.

But the pigs only pour some leftovers, feed some rice bran, and can be slaughtered when they get fat. But these two fat pigs want to be crowned officials, they want to be knighted, they want to give the officials of the mansion fiefs and slaves, and they have to take out the wealth and silk rewards every year, which is extremely expensive. But don't really expect the court to owe them. It is also necessary to do some small things to report back, the Eastern Turks are in chaos, and the Western Turks can no longer be chaotic. And the Tang Dynasty also supported too many foreigners, from Persia to the countries in the river, to the tribes of Siberia, and then to the Silla Kingdom, not all foreigners need to be supported by the Tang Dynasty, and there are not 100,000 wasted people who can be raised, but also 80,000 people, which is also a heavy burden for a country with an actual population of less than 40 million.

When all countries came to the dynasty, Li Wei didn't like it at all, whether the Tang Dynasty was really strong and whether the people were really happy was what he cared about most.

"When the minister leaves the tribe, there are not many words to ......"

"So you mean to say that the court is going to release you back?" Li Wei asked with a sneer.

"Yes, no, no."

"Do it yourself, remember, I'm not a bully." After saying that, Li Wei didn't say anything more.

This sentence is a statement that the future of the Tang Dynasty will continue the previous policy of appeasement, but the attitude will become tougher.

The capture of the two, Hu Shou, brought a joy to the arrival of this New Year.

Two more things happened.

The first is silver money.

Through the hands of Liang Jinzhu's son, as well as some stocks in the treasury, and the 500,000 taels of silver transported by Liang Jinzhu, under the instruction of Li Wei, a batch of silver coins was first issued.

Li Wei remembered that the quality of Yuan Datou in later generations seemed to be good, and it sounded as soon as it was blown, and the anti-counterfeiting effect was excellent, but he didn't know what metal was doped in it, and even if he knew, he might not succeed in research.

Therefore, I thought of a local method and minted some silver coins, which are similar in size to existing copper coins, but the thickness is very thin, and it is not easy to adulterate if it is thin, and even if there is a soft metal, it may not have the brilliance of silver and some other characteristics. It is also cast with exquisite patterns, the front is the palace pattern of Taiji Palace, surrounded by a golden dragon, there are four words, Guotai Min'an. Behind is the phoenix side, Luoyang palace pattern, according to four words, open silver treasure. Deliberately placing the people of the country above the era name not only shows that the status of the country and the people is above the era name, but also shows that internal affairs are more important than expanding the border.

After all, a strong country is the foundation of a strong force.

The pattern is very complex and thin, which increases the difficulty of casting the process, and it is difficult to counterfeit with the folk process, which further eliminates the possibility of folk production. And because it is thin, one tael of silver is minted into sixty silver coins, that is, one, and the value of silver coins is only twenty wen, even if they receive fake coins, for ordinary people, the loss is not big.

The face value is not large, and it is easy to circulate.

It took a lot of painstaking work, but there was still no clear edict to force circulation across the country. It's just that they are distributed to the various officials first, and the money they receive will naturally be genuine, and the servants at home use them to buy goods, and the shops dare not refuse to accept them. In this way, it was once again circulated to the private sector.

But if you want to really get through, it's still a long process, for example, now give silver coins to the vendors who sell Hu cakes, and they don't even know each other, do you dare to accept them? It can only be said that in some high-end stores, the guys have the eyesight, so they dare to accept the good, and then circulate it in local areas first.

However, compared with the imperial court, which is less than one million silver coins, it has little influence on the huge Tang Dynasty economy, whether it is good or bad. There were even some officials who did not lack money in their homes, and when they saw that the silver coins were beautifully made, they hid them at home just for fun, and did not take them out for use.

In fact, Li Wei has done a lot of things, but there has been no big trouble, and it is precisely because of this. Punished by the rebellion of Wang Mang's New Deal, and the failure of Wang Anshi's reform later, Li Wei is cautious in every change, taking into account the interests of all parties, and silently carrying out the reform like a drizzle and spring breeze.

Of course, Li Wei racked his brains, although he had some foresight and vision for later generations.

Another thing, too, is sensational.

The daughter of the Zheng family finally agreed with the royal family to enter the palace, and there were many rules, not the crown princess, not the queen, and stuffed things into the East Palace according to the rules. However, it was the Zheng family, so even the officials of the Ministry of Rites were carefully researching, and the story of Empress E's daughter Ying was taken out, and some etiquette was given, and it was finally agreed that March 16 in spring was the best auspicious time of the year, and the daughter of the Zheng family entered the East Palace.

Shangyuan Festival is coming.

Luoyang is still singing and dancing, and many people are singing hand in hand on the main avenues in Luoyang City a day in advance.

But the breath of the arrival of the big war, this time it was very strong in the sky over Luoyang. Nearly 300,000 troops were mobilized at once, including many children in Luoyang City, who were all going to go on the expedition. Some people may not be able to come back, and the arrival of this big festival is especially cherished.

In the East Palace, Pei Yuhe said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have something to ask for. ”

"What's the matter?"

"The concubine heard that the little lady of the Zheng family has not returned to Xingyang in the east, can you let her also enter the palace to have a look?"

There are various festivals among the people, and there are also in the palace, such as rope pulling, or polo, or bowing, and there are many performances of illusion masters invited from the people.

But Pei Yuhe's intention is not to do this, he wants to be a model of a big woman.

Her family background is very good, she can only say that she is similar to Wei Yuexiang, she still can't catch up with the Zheng family in Xingyang, and she is a daughter of five surnames and seven families, and she officially married into the palace as a wife and concubine for the first time. At that time, the daughter of the Cui family came from behind, and almost overturned her, the crown princess, and she is still a relative in her heart. However, the daughter of the Zheng family entered the East Palace again, and the competition was not successful, so she had to set an example for the emperor to see.

Li Wei looked at her and said slowly: "You don't have to worry, I said, don't look at the door, just look at your performance, and I don't want to change more." Every time the harem changes, how much bloodshed will it set off......"

"Yes."

"But since you proposed it, I also agree, but the Zheng family's tutor, will you agree?"

"Your Majesty, let the concubines send someone to give it a try."

"If you want to do it, then do it."

Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"No," Li Wei continued to bow his head and review the folds.

After a while, the eunuch outside came in to report and said, "Your Majesty, there are elders of various clans outside who ask to see His Majesty, first, to congratulate the people of Yeci, and secondly, to ask for assistance from the imperial court in the expedition against the Turks. ”

Yeqi Mingyue is only a talented person in the East Palace, but she finally has a reputation. She was pregnant again, and the news spread to Qinghai, and all ethnic groups in the party were overjoyed. But Li Wei valued the latter point, and said: "You go and notify them to come in, no, I'll greet them personally." In addition, you asked Ye Cicai to come over and say that her mother's family was here.
