His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty has returned to Chang'an City, does that mean that the battle of Liaodong has come to an end?

The whole of Chang'an, whether it is a teahouse or a restaurant. Or the most exciting topic on the streets, this is it.

Victory! It must be a victory.

A large amount of cargo was being carried off the ship, and the Praetorian Guards had already passed.

And the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty has entered the palace in a formal robe.

"You didn't come back to have dinner with your brother, did you?" Li Er stood in the imperial garden with a smile.

"The younger brother has encountered some small troubles, and he has come to share the troubles with the imperial brother." Li Yuanxing responded with a smile on his face. Li Er also replied with a smile: "Brother likes surprises, not trouble!" ”

"If the trouble is not solved, this surprise will lose its taste!"

Li Erhaha smiled: "Eat first, and it's not too late to discuss after eating." After that, Li Eryi pointed to the father-in-law Gao who was hiding farther away: "Go and invite Princess Mingyue over, just say that I will invite her to dinner!" ”

Feasts and treats. These are two completely different concepts.

Gonggong Gao believed that his ears were not mistaken, and immediately ran to arrange for someone to invite Mingyue into the palace.

Entering the study, Li Yuanxing personally closed the door, and then said with a serious face: "I promised the little Khan of Tuli to be crowned king, and I promised the Khitan king one door and three princes." ”

"I thought of it for my brother, and I thought of it from the time you wanted to let Huainan be sealed."

"They have a big problem for the younger brother, and the younger brother is already having a headache. This kind of thing can't be discussed casually, so you have to come back. ”

Li Erzhong patted Li Yuanxing on the shoulder: "Okay, very good." Discuss with you for my brother! ”

Li Er's favorite thing is surprises. Li Yuanxing must have brought him a big surprise this time. What can make Li Yuanxing so nervous is definitely not such a trivial matter as a few pieces of gold.

Li Yuanxing walked over to Li Er's desk and pulled out a cigarette.

"King Khitan, please be sealed, I think the Khitan will soon be part of the Tang Dynasty. But there are a few issues that I can't decide. After thinking about it for a while, there was still no very suitable answer, so I came back to ask the imperial brother for an idea. I'm not in a hurry to get an answer, I just hope that the royal brother can think about it when he has time! ”

Listening to what Li Yuanxing said seriously, Li Er's expression became much more serious.

"Brother Huang, do you remember the 30,000 catties of steel? The younger brother checked it, and it flowed from the Khitan. But not from a certain family, but many Khitan nobles were involved. The subordinate brother analyzed the reason. The Khitan king is rich. The people who fought for my Tang Dynasty with him are rich, but the old Khitan nobles are not rich! ”

"They traded steel for money?"

That's pretty much what it means, but that's not the point. The younger brother used this excuse to scare the Khitan king, originally wanting to make him more obedient. But Khitan is a very smart person. He dedicated the Khitan to the Tang Dynasty! Li Yuanxing said. talked about the details at that time and told Li Er.

Li Er listened very carefully. He is also analyzing whether the Khitan King is sincere.

After listening, Li Er nodded silently, he seemed to believe the words of the Khitan King.

"Next. A few questions in the minds of the younger brothers. The first one, after subduing the Khitan, is it necessary to send officials. The disadvantage of autonomy is that the Khitans are like a pile of firewood that will cause trouble at any time. Only a few sparks will become fires, causing some trouble for Datang! ”

Li Yuanxing's words, Li Er understands, just like if those small states take refuge today, they will rebel tomorrow.

They will change the changes in their loyalty as their interests change.

"Brother Huang, if the Tang Dynasty sends officials, there will be several disadvantages. The first official's management of the Khitans will make the Khitan people secretly dissatisfied. They will think that it was the Tang Dynasty that enslaved them. Coming down, another trouble is that the rest of the states will think that the Tang people are too naked, and we can't afford to bear the notoriety of forcibly occupying small states. ”

"It's really troublesome!"

As the emperor, Li Er knows the trouble of this kind of national contradiction.

Sitting in front of Li Yuanxing, Li Er said, "Goro, you continue to say, if you have any concerns, say it." ”

"Han Zhuge Wuhou is already a genius, and his way of dealing with barbarians seems to be clever, but there are endless hidden dangers. The officials stationed in Shu in areas where ethnic minorities and Han Chinese were mixed carried out carried out different decrees. Whether it is tolerant or severe, it is a practice that will cause endless trouble. ”

Li Er got up, walked to the back of the desk, took a pen and paper, and began to record.

"Gorou, keep talking!"

Li Yuanxing is not much more intelligent than Li Er, or the political wisdom of elites like Datang, but he has experience in later generations.

"The Han Dynasty's policy towards ethnic minorities was to coerce, enslave, and exploit. The barbarian is a Han slave, which is the core idea of Zhuge Murafu, so Nanban's so-called attack on the heart is only aimed at a very small number of Nanban nobles, not the entire Nanban people, so Nanban will not repeatedly riot. ”

Li Yuanxing stopped when he said this, he needed to give Li Er some time to think.

Li Er didn't rush to answer, but got up and went to the back library of the study to flip through some related materials, the library of the Tang Emperor, both the amount of books and the variety are extremely high.

As the emperor, Li Er didn't dare to rely on his own memory or Li Yuanxing to talk about such a major event. He needs to verify it himself, read that period of history, and analyze it carefully.

Li Yuanxing knows that there is no urgency, and the most difficult thing in a multi-ethnic country is ethnic integration, which is also the relationship between the main ethnic group and the ethnic minorities, as well as the stability of the whole country and the whole society. The problem is that in the future, the whole world is studying, you can integrate politically, but you can't have people's hearts.

There is always a sense of superiority in the minds of the main people.

"The oath monument made by Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu, and the barbarians is recorded here, in fact, what he did you Wulang is also doing, and you Wulang is more ruthless than him, but I don't understand it as a brother, why do you call Zhuge Kongming a villager! In your Goro's strategy, these minorities are just your Goro's mercenaries, and they fight wars in exchange for wealth. ”

Li Er analyzed very rationally.

In Li Er's eyes, Li Yuanxing represents the Tang Dynasty, and Li Yuanxing's mistakes are also his mistakes.

"Brother Huang, before they had a state-to-state relationship with Datang, not a country. So I can use them and consume them without limit. But once it is merged into my Datang, there must be a difference. This is also for other states to see, and becoming a member of Datang will be of great benefit! ”

"This benefit is not easy, they will be greedy if they give more, and it makes no sense to give less!"

"It's not easy for my brother!" Li Yuanxing screamed bitterly.

"It's not easy to be a brother!" Li Er also cried out bitterly.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.

"Brother Huang, Jin, although Sima Zhao is the one with the ambition to seize the throne, his talent cannot be erased. At least the younger brother thinks that his national policy is still desirable, and at least some of it can be learned. ”

"Imagine that in the Jin Dynasty, the integration of 8 million ethnic minorities solved the problem of population decline after the Three Kingdoms. Most of these people were loyal to the Jin Dynasty, and many of them merged with the Central Plains people, changing their surnames from vulgar to become supporters of Central Plains culture. It can be said that there are many people in Datang who may not be 100% Han blood, and since our Datang is a multi-ethnic country, it should be inclusive! ”

"It's easy to say that everything is inclusive, but it's a very effective way!" Li Er replied angrily.

At this time, Li Er really understood that Datang was really facing a huge choice right now.

This is a battle, a battle within the Tang Dynasty.

"Gorou, you sit down first, and show you a dress for my brother!"

Clothes?

Looking at what clothes to look at this time, Li Yuanxing was a little confused.

Li Er personally took out a box from a cabinet in the library, and shook off the clothes inside in front of Li Yuanxing: "Wulang, this is a new gift from the Ministry of Rites, a casual dress for my brother." Have you noticed many differences! ”

Li Er spread his clothes on the ground, and Li Yuanxing squatted there and watched carefully.

Round neck, this change makes the neck much easier. And then there'...... Placket!

This placket surprised Li Yuanxing a lot, because the left placket of Hanfu pressed the right placket. This dress turned out to be a placket, that is, the same as the left and right, tied on the chest. Just like the clothes of later generations, this was not brought by Li Yuanxing, because even if Li Yuanxing wears light clothes, it is also the style of Hanfu.

"Hufu! This design is derived from the Hufu. It's still this narrow sleeve, writing, or doing things and extremely convenient, for the brother is not the kind of person who comes to stretch out his hand, and he won't move anything when he opens his mouth when he eats, at least a large number of watch seals to be reviewed, the wide sleeves are very heavy, and it is easy to knock over the ink! ”

Li Yuanxing didn't speak, and continued to look at the clothes.

"During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was strictly forbidden to wear hufu, thinking that it was a loss of etiquette. But in fact, it is not something that the emperor can prohibit with a word, and the people need to consider the convenience of action for their daily life and work. Gorou went out in April, and now more than a month has passed, do you know the summer clothes of Yaozhou's craftsmen? ”

Li Er said, flipping out a picture on the bookshelf.

Li Yuanxing saw that this was already a completely placket of clothes, and the cuffs were not only narrow sleeves, but also a binding hand at the wrist.

The whole dress looks very tight and decent, which is more and more like the work clothes of later generations.

"If you want to subdue the Khitan ideologically, you must first let the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty recognize the Khitan ideologically. As my brother knows, the Khitan horse's horse training skills are even higher than those of the Turks, and the Khitans' veterinary skills for livestock are beyond my Datang's ability. ”

"So Brother Wei thinks that before solving the trouble raised by Wulang, let the people of the Han nationality recognize the Khitans, and then let the Khitans not feel inferior to the Han people, which is the root cause of the trouble!"

The emperor is the emperor, and Li Er's words hit the core of the problem.

Although there is no specific way to solve the problem, at least Li Yuanxing is convinced in terms of thinking. (To be continued......)

PS: My hands are soft, and I hope that I can get back to normal after a good night's sleep.
