Even if Li Chen has no diplomatic experience in his life, he has nothing to fear. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention the previous life, what diplomatic experience can you expect from a small real estate agent.

And in this life, some foreign envoys have seen a lot, but there is no diplomatic affairs to deal with, those envoys are either like before, stay in Chang'an to save face, or send students, or come to pay tribute, in exchange for some reward, there is no need to deal with any diplomacy at all.

The great thing is to read the national letter, announce what was tribute, and then the court rewarded something, tributary trade, that's it. Li Chen didn't suddenly abandon it for the time being, although it seemed to be a broken thing.

People just give some local worthless specialties, you can exchange a lot of expensive gifts. He also brought a lot of goods by the way to trade, and I am afraid that the tribute has not been traded much more.

However, this kind of thing looks good at the good side. First of all, you also have to see, people are far away, and it is quite inconvenient to travel thousands of miles to come. Moreover, this kind of thing, you can change your position, they can come, and the Datang caravan can also go.

Moreover, people are automatically sent to the door, and by the way, you can inquire about the information of the area, and you don't have to be blind with your own eyes.

So like these two situations, Datang does not have the formality of later generations, and the diplomatic confrontation between the two countries, Li Chen is naturally inexperienced. However, the initiative is in your own hands, and you can casually pinch those grassland peoples, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Tell me all about it. After reading the information, Li Chen asked the prime minister to speak. All the prime ministers did not say a word, they were thinking, thinking about the measures to deal with it, thinking about what the emperor would think. Li Chen will not casually express his views first now, let them add, and make it much more difficult for them to do things. After a while, Du Mu spoke first.

'Saint, the minister thought that he should be crusaded. Du Mu paused for a moment and continued, "Although it is currently a critical period for my Tang Dynasty to reorganize the army, I can recruit other departments and use them as the vanguard to crusade against countries such as Khitan and Bohai. ’

Du Mude's meaning is very simple, although it is not suitable for Datang to move troops at present, the newly formed army is not suitable for unauthorized movement, and even, the debts from last year's war are still being repaid. However, in the past, when troops were mobilized, only a part of the Tang army was often dispatched, and then a large number of other vassal nationalities were recruited, and it was good for them to fight, and the Tang Dynasty only needed to send a small part of the troops to achieve the effect.

It makes sense, Li Chen considered that he would use less troops to teach the Khitans a lesson, as for the Bohai people, they had been disabled, and he was most concerned about the Khitans.

The minister thought that peace was precious, and the Khitans were also very obedient before. During the Zhaogu and Xianzhi Khan periods, they also sent tribute many times. After Anshi, the Khitan also had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, this time it was mainly provoked by others, if the saint came forward to save the Khitan and save the Khitan. Let the Khitan be grateful to Dade, and now that my Tang Dynasty has regained its prestige, I can re-establish the Governor of Songmo, so that the Khitan can preserve the stability of my Northern Tang Territory. After Du Mu finished speaking, Cui Xuan spoke.

These words are also the theory of the old Cheng seeking the country, the Khitan since the Anshi Rebellion, the power of the Tang Dynasty has declined, and they are no longer canonized as the governor of Songmo. However, the Khitans also declined, and there was no major conflict between the two countries for a long time, until now.

If the Khitans are preserved now, they will be re-appointed as the governors of Songmo, and let them guard the northern frontier for the Tang Dynasty. The advantage is that there is no need to send troops, military spending is reduced, and the Datang army can continue to be rectified. The Khitan people are in decline, and they also need the support of the Tang Dynasty, and they dare not have different intentions for a long time.

Again, the map can also look a little better. This Ayaqi Hall has a map of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which is what Li Chen asked the Surveying Department of the Military Academy to measure. Also referring to the past, the changes in the territory since the founding of the Tang Dynasty were painted in different colors so that the courtiers could see it at any time.

'It's better to change the mountain Xi, the Khitan people have suffered heavy losses this time, if the Khitan is supported, I'm afraid the Tang Dynasty will also send troops to support. In this case, it is better to set up a mountain instead. Linghu Chongde ancestor said.

Ling Hu Xuande means that to support Shanxi, Datang may also send troops to support. In this case, it is better to set up Shanxi, Shanxi is near the Datang Frontier, and it is easy to support and crusade.

At the same time, because it is convenient to support and teach lessons, Shanxi will also be more peaceful. In addition, the Tang Dynasty established the Songmo Governor's Mansion for the purpose of pacifying northern Xinjiang. Shan Xi was next to him, just resisting for Datang.

Wei Xi echoed Cui Xuande's words, thinking that it would be good to send someone to reprimand Ye Lan, after all, Ye Lan's previous predecessors were also deferential, and then someone spoke one after another. What is ten thousand words, it is better to be silent, that is what Li Chen hates the most. Do more wrong, do less wrong, and don't do well. Since it's good, give me a book to fix. The school scrivener is very good, but there is also a shortage of people.

Then, in the imperial history, Cheng Zhou Qi spoke, he did not agree with this method, "If there is still a reason in Bohai, why did the Khitan people come, my Tang Dynasty has made up household registration for the party and others who have settled in the territory, that is the matter of my Tang Dynasty, and the Khitan people actually offended my Tang land because of this matter, and plundered my Tang people, without severe punishment, wouldn't anyone be able to find a reason and come to my Tang Dynasty to plunder." ’

Zhou Qi advocated that Yelan must be punished, so that Yelan entered the capital to ask for guilt, and as for the Khitan Khan, he was replaced by others. 'The Khitan wants to be punished, so what should the Bohai people do, this time the Cypriot and foreign coalition forces are led by these two sides. Zheng Lang asked, "Bohai Kingdom, after all, there is a reason for it. ', Ling Fox eased his cheeks for Bohai, "What's more, all along, the Bohai Kingdom has been paying tribute to my Tang Dynasty, and this time if it is not provoked by traitors, it will not be angry because of anger." , let them introspect themselves. ’

If the saint preserves the Bohai Sea, he will let the Bohai Kingdom keep it in mind and dare not have two hearts. This is Wei Cong, who has always adhered to the attitude that it is okay to be fine, and to calm things down.

"Wouldn't it be that I, the Tang Dynasty, will bear the charge of assassinating the lord of the Bohai Sea." Li Deyu spoke, "If there is a grievance, you should go to Chang'an to appeal, my Datang has long been hunting down Ma Wei throughout the country, and Bohai State should escort him to Chang'an as soon as he sees him." ’

'If any small country around you finds a wanted criminal in my Datang, and if you commit a crime, you will say that you are sent by a saint to invade our Datang, and they will say that there is a reason for it, and you will forgive them lightly, then how can I have a peaceful life in Datang. ’

'What does Lee Xiang think?' Li Chen didn't speak, letting them discuss, in fact, he hadn't decided what to do, just listening to the prime minister's words, thinking in his heart, what to do is best for Datang.

'Bohai and Khitan must be severely punished, but Bohai has suffered heavy losses this time, and if Bohai perishes, it may be difficult for my northern Tang Dynasty to be stable. ’

Bohai was really respectful to the Tang Dynasty before, except for the Xuanzong Dynasty, when there was a conflict with the Tang Dynasty during the Great Martial Arts Period, he was quite respectful at other times. If the Bohai Kingdom is destroyed, I am afraid that there will be riots in the northern Xinjiang again. This is also what Li Chen is worried about.

He wasn't too worried about the nomads, the kind of nomads, who didn't last long. Even the Mongols are only a hundred years old. Prior to this, during the Wuhu Rebellion, many Hu people were assimilated by the Han people. Although the Liao State retained a lot of its own customs, it was also deeply influenced by Han culture.

He was more worried that the kind of people who were half-fishing, hunting, and half-farming were mainly the Jin people, and later the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty, in particular, absorbed Han culture, but it was all dross.

He was worried that if the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed, a new half-fishing, hunting, and half-farming people would arise from there, which would have an impact on the Tang Dynasty. At worst, it will also allow them to absorb the advanced technology of the Bohai State and grow stronger. Just like the Khitan, the Yelu Department has accepted a lot of Han technology, gradually grown, and slowly developed towards the later Liao State.

This is far away, from the near term, if the Bohai Sea is really destroyed, the newly strengthened tribes, no matter what the future will be, it is good to be friendly with the Tang Dynasty, if it is bad with the Tang Dynasty, the northern Xinjiang will no longer be stable.

'Do you want to release the Bohai prisoners of war?' Zheng Lang asked, what a pity it is to be released, Datang is now exempted from forced labor, and projects everywhere cost money, and tens of thousands of prisoners of war in the Bohai Sea are so good that they can save more than 100,000 yuan in a year.

'After the release, how should the Bohai State be punished?' What about the Khitans? Wei Mo asked, the punishment is heavy, I am afraid that the Bohai Sea will perish and the northern Xinjiang will be restless. Light, but not enough to make it fearful. There is also the Khitan, it is reasonable to destroy it, and it is also a method not to destroy.

"Khitan split, since the Yelu Department jumped out, then support the Yelu Department, just like the Turks back then." Just now, no one has mentioned the Ministry of Jeru, not that they don't take this small tribe to heart. Rather, the question of orthodoxy.

After all, this Yelan Khan was also sealed by the Tang Dynasty. Even if he is wrong and wants to be punished, it will be handled by Datang. What's going on with your Yelu Ministry, you also had a part in the invasion of Tang at the beginning, and now you jump out, put the blame on Yelan, and want to be the leader of the eight Khitan tribes?

This is a crime, and the Khitan has to deal with it, and it is also up to Datang to decide. If you're clean, that's fine, but the problem is that you're not clean either. And, who knows if this is a trick played by the Khitan, deliberately sending the Yelu Department to compete with the Yao Ministry, and finally letting the Yelu Department replace the Yao Ministry, even if it is a punishment.

Therefore, Li Deyu simply, since the two of you are not compatible, split the two parts, eight Khitan parts, each divided into four parts, now the northern Xinjiang will have a good look, weak Khitan, I am afraid everyone will want to take a bite.

'As for the Bohai Sea.... Li Deyu hasn't thought about it yet, it's really a heavy valve, and he is afraid that Bohai will perish, and the punishment is not enough to punish.

'Simply, Bohai Daqianhuang abdicated, and made the son of the former king, Da Changhui, the new king of Bohai, the new king of Bohai, as for Daqianhuang, let him, like Yelan, enter the Beijing division and apologize to the Tang Dynasty. Choi Hyun suggested that this was also a way to punish the King of Bohai and let him know the consequences of using troops without permission.

So do it, but those Shanxi and Murowei people should not let go, and ordered them to release the captive Tang people. After listening to the half-pay, Li Chen also had a rough idea, in fact, he didn't care much about what to punish, what he cared about was that the people of Youzhou were taken captive.

'Saint, I'm afraid this will not be easy. It's really not easy, God knows how many people have been taken captive, half of Youzhou has been harmed by the alliance of all clans, and now they want to release them to the people, it is great to release some people, and those other people, I am afraid that they will prevaricate that they have died, or our clan is the only one with these people. Unless force is used, it is very difficult to get it back.

Either way, just go for it. Li Chen snorted coldly, he already had a plan in his heart, this account, in the future, he will slowly calculate with those nomads, at present, as much as he wants, he will come back.

'Tomorrow morning, after the morning comes, let us meet the envoys, for after all this delay, it is time for a result.' According to the results of the discussion, the Khitan split them, and Shanxi could also be canonized. In addition, Bohai State, I also have a disposal. ’

He didn't say anything, and let the prime minister speak freely and brainstorm. The main reason is that he has not completely figured out how to deal with the northern Xinjiang issue. Now that he has listened to it for a long time, he already has a plan in his heart.

'I have seen a saint. He was relieved that the first envoy had been summoned, and he had had enough of it these days, but he was under a lot of pressure and was afraid every day. When I first came, I thought that I would be summoned by Datang soon, and I was still in the mood to wander around Chang'an.

But later, as Li Chen compressed the treatment of envoys and received a cold reception for a long time, he also panicked. Originally, he first hooked up the Khitan and Bohai, and wanted to say that the three had common interests. But with the Khitan Xi Erzhi being arrested to serve the labor, after Dachanghui was not very enthusiastic, he panicked, afraid every day, and woke up, Datang sent troops to level Shanxi, and now, no matter how Datang deals with it, he is finally no longer worried and afraid.

If it is found that my people of the Tang Dynasty are slaves in the mountains, they will not be spared. The envoy of Shanxi descended from the sky, and Shanxi was safe.

Although at the beginning, he was scolded badly, Datang also strictly ordered that they must release the people who had been taken captive to Datang, and compensate Datang for many cattle and horses, and must cooperate with Datang's plan to raise sheep.

But with these requirements, Datang at least won't attack Shanxi, as for what to release the people, of course he said yes, anyway, when the time comes, pick a few hundred old and weak to release, and it would be good if he could explain the past.

As for what he scolded, he didn't pay attention to it at all, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu got a lengthy article, which made Li Chen drowsy, not to mention that the envoy of Shanxi was a duck listening to thunder, but he only knew that the tone of the Ministry of Rites was not good, and he didn't understand what Li Chen was scolding at all.

The Khitan envoy was the second. It's not just the second, it's the two of them who were summoned together, Xi Erzhi and Yun Deshi have suffered a lot, and now they are in front of Li Chen, except for glaring at each other, they don't dare to make any drastic moves.

They didn't have good luck with Shanxi, but they also avoided the crisis of destruction for the time being, but after hearing Li Chen's announcement, the two of them did not brow, but had a bitter face.

Then there were the Murowei and the Ministry, who were summoned one after another, and they were also reprimanded by Li Chen, who gave the Ministry of Rites a book, and reprimanded these two small feudal states. Finally, Bohai, Dachanghui got a good news. However, at first glance, it was too shocking for him to rejoice, leaving only shock.
