Chapter 648: Ancestral System

Emperor Wu's coffin Yang Guang was about to arrive in Guanzhong, and the news soon spread in Guanzhong, but everyone in the court was mixed with joy, or mixed feelings. Although Li Xin posthumously named Yang Guang as Emperor Wu, in the hearts of these people, they actually agreed more with the nickname given by Li Yuan to Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui. Yang Guang ruled Guanzhong, and it can almost be said that he has been fighting against the family all his life, but he is different from Li Xin, Li Xin uses a soft knife and returns a sweet jujube with a knife, but Yang Guang understands that he uses a fast knife and goes down with a knife, not only cutting the family in the world, but also cutting himself all over the body, and finally has to hide in Jiangdu, for Yu Culture and harm.

Anyway, for the arrival of Yang Guang's coffin, everyone's attitude towards Li Xin has changed again, a person who is willing to treat the emperor of the previous dynasty should not be a bad person, especially those who still have some feelings for the previous dynasty, and they are even more lamented in their hearts Li Xin's righteousness. There was much less resistance to Li Xin's accession to the throne.

Yang Guang's mausoleum has been started quickly, but it is simply that when Yang Guang first ascended the throne, he began to build his mausoleum, and when he died, he didn't know how to build it, and now, it was just renovated. His mausoleum is not far from Chang'an, and the mausoleums of Emperor Wen Yang Jian and Empress Dugu are a feng shui treasure that the monks are looking for in Sanqiyuan, and Yang Guang's coffin will arrive there.

Because of Yang Guang's arrival, Yining Tianzi rarely stopped studying Buddhism, but was busy dealing with Yang Guang's posthumous affairs, either because of guilt, or because he wanted to do the last thing well, Yining Tianzi worked tirelessly.

In the Wude Palace, Shen Qianqiu sat there with all the ministers, and Shen Qianqiu reported the vision from the grassland, after all, it was not trivial for Jieli Khan to order the army to gather in the Turkic tent, and no one knew where Jieli Khan's army would point. It's Guan Zhong, or Li Zhao. It seems that no matter where it is, you have to make a preparation.

"The Turks sent the Turki Khan to Li Zhao, albeit to demand compensation. But whether it will be or not, no one knows, whether they will go to war immediately, no one knows. Li Xin looked at the sand table in front of him, the sand table showed the intersection of Guanzhong and the Turks, Li Xin frowned and said: "There are really a lot of Turks, we lost nearly 200,000 horses in our hands back then, and now we have lost another 100,000 people in the Central Plains, how many people are there in the Turks?" This time I am afraid that the troops will shake their foundations! ”

"Don't forget, Prime Minister. They followed Li Shimin to invade the Central Plains, and they also captured a lot of Han Chinese, but in more than ten years, they were able to invade the Central Plains again. Du Ruhui said in a low voice.

"The Turks are like this, they can't be killed but are bitten by snakes, Emperor Wen's strategy back then was okay, but unfortunately Emperor Wen's reign was still short, and Emperor Wu's eyes were not focused on the Turks, otherwise. How could the Turks be so arrogant. "Li Xin is full of murderous intentions, looking at the entire northern grassland, it often happens that he is bitten by a snake instead of being killed, and when he gets rid of the Celestial Empire in the future. Only then did this problem basically solve, and any other dynasty was wiped out after all dynasties. Let the other party be a subordinate, and then it is to win over the other party, but it's a pity. When the Central Plains Dynasty weakened, these grassland tribes began to make waves, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wen of Sui were like this, and Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang and even Kang Haozi in history were also like this, Li Xin can imagine that even if he defeated the Turks and made them submit to his feet, when he died, his sons, grandsons, etc. did not have the courage of his own, and they would win over each other, and even like Li Longji in history, he would marry the daughter of the clan to those small tribes if he had nothing to do. Li Xin once saw a story that Li Longji married the clan to the leader of a Khitan tribe, and the leader was as old as Li Longji, and after sleeping with the princess, he killed the princess the next day, and the method was extremely cruel.

In Li Xin's view, this is simply an intolerable thing. Don't look at the Song Dynasty is very cowardly, but in the end of the Song Dynasty, whether it was strong or weak, it never did anything like a princess and a relative of the Han family.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates think that the Turks have little chance of raising troops against us." Pei Shiju said: "If they send troops, they should be when we and Li Shimin confront each other in Henan, or when they are in Hedong, now that our army has occupied Luoyang, the army has returned to the Bashang and Lantian camps, hundreds of thousands of troops are ready to fight and defeat all the enemies in front of them at any time, and the Turks will not attack us as long as they are not stupid." ”

"And where is he attacking?" Wei Yuancheng couldn't help but ask.

"Western Turks." Du Ruhui touched his beard and said: "Prime Minister, the Turks will definitely attack the Western Turks, he wants to unify the entire grassland, I heard that Jieli Khan is eloquent and ambitious, and it seems that today, I am afraid that this is really the case, this person does have great ambitions." In his opinion, although Li Shimin is powerful, but at this moment he has not grown that step, Li Zhao's power is not enough to be compared with the prime minister, the strength of Guanzhong is beyond doubt, even Jieli Khan has to admit that Li Zhao was defeated this time, it seems that he did not lose much, but he lost the Bird Mouse Valley and was forced to move the capital to Hebei, which is enough to show that compared with us, Li Zhao is lagging behind. Jieli Khan still wants to attack Li Shimin, does he want to help us? It's obviously impossible, is he ready to go south to the Central Plains and compete with the prime minister for the world? Apparently not yet. Therefore, he will not attack Li Shimin. In addition, either Goguryeo or the Western Turks, Goguryeo is not the same race after all, even if it occupies Goguryeo, in a short period of time, it cannot be integrated into its own rule, only the Western Turks can quickly integrate into the Turkic system, increase their own strength, and expand their territory. ”

"What Keming said is extremely true, if the Turks really occupy the Western Turks, they will threaten the Western Regions and threaten many places in our court." Li Jing also said: "The Western Turks look very strong now, but strong places are also weak times, and Jieli Khan may not have no chances. ”

"Yes. Now that you can be sure that the other side wants to attack the Western Turks, do we have a chance? What can we do? Li Xin looked at everyone and said, he wanted to know what kind of advice his advisers could give him, but unfortunately, Li Xin was disappointed, and everyone showed hesitation on their faces, obviously there was no good advice.

"Prime Minister, from the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, to now, the Prime Minister has spent every year on the battlefield, although the DPRK and China have some money and food to support the Prime Minister in the front battle, but the soldiers are tired, and the subordinates think that in the new year, they should focus on recuperation." Xiao Yu said.

Li Xin glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was silent, and immediately knew that this was not just Xiao Yu's point of view, but actually everyone's point of view, because Li Xin liked to fight too much, and in recent years, he has fought from west to east, from north to south, and has never rested. That's why people say it today.

"Good. Unless the enemy provokes, this king will never send an army of more than 10,000 men. Li Xin thought for a while, and still said: "But the training of soldiers and the suppression of bandits in a small area must still be carried out. In my Datang territory, bullies and bandits are all ranks that must be exterminated, and rangers should also pay attention to one or two, since it is to return the people of the world to a peace, not only to unify the world, but more importantly, to have peace in the world, there will be no bandits and bullies in the place, so that the people can live with peace of mind. ”

"Yes, the subordinates will arrange it when they turn around, and the troops from all over the country will suppress the bandits." Li Jing hurriedly said.

The rest of the people listened to Li Xin's assurance, and their hearts were immediately relieved, they were afraid that Li Xin would toss, and now that Li Xin had decided not to use more than 10,000 troops, everyone was much more relieved.

"Things in the army cannot be relaxed, we must be ready to fight tough battles at any time, and the training of soldiers must also be paid close attention to, although everyone cannot be like Shura, but it cannot be like the Jingzhou army." Li Xin glanced at Li Jing and said: "The Ministry of War guarantees food and salary, the Wuying Palace must also record the meritorious ministers, and the preferential treatment of military families in the Ministry of Household must also be arranged, after all, they are fighting for the country, and they can't worry about family affairs." The king has decided to release all the older palace maids in the palace and marry them to meritorious soldiers, and the palace maids in the harem shall not exceed twenty-five years old, unless she is willing to stay in the palace. ”

"Prime Minister Shengming." Everyone's eyes lit up, although he was twenty-five years old, but in the end he could reunite with his family, in the past dynasties, these palace maids were all emperors, no one knew when the emperor was happy to be lucky, the emperor's women who dared to move, and only Li Xin would marry these palace maids to meritorious soldiers.

"In the next year, the officials in various places must be replenished, this is the most important thing, we don't want our army to fight anything, but also set up a general manager, in charge of military and political affairs, the army is the army, the place is the locality, no matter how great a person's ability, he can be in charge of two aspects. The general is in charge of the war, and the county guard, the taishou, and the county commander can only be local political affairs, not every civilian official can command the war, so it's better to do your own thing! Such rules will be the law of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty in the future shall not change them without authorization, civil officials shall not lead the army, military generals shall not interfere in politics, and eunuchs shall not participate in court politics. ”

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in the future, it will have a programmatic role, the civilian government is in charge, the military generals are in charge of the army, and the separation of military and political affairs is the iron law set by Li Xin, that is, the ancestral system, even if it is the emperor of later generations, it must not be changed.
