After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, the governance policy of the Tang Dynasty was based on tolerance, emphasizing the importance of official honesty and harmony, and also emphasizing the importance of harmony between the government and the people, for example, officials must not bully the people and bully others, otherwise, the local old people with high prestige can directly report the violations of law and discipline of these officials to the government at the next higher level and even to the imperial court, and the imperial court specially dispatched officials to set up departments to be directly responsible to the emperor and specifically supervise the personal behavior of officials.

This is the inspiration that Li Chengqian got from Suning's words after talking to Li Xiang, and it may be regarded as Suning's indirect play to him, after all, after becoming the emperor, he can't blatantly hold a family gathering with Suning like before, lest the ministers be too jealous of Suning and harm him, but through Li Xiang's message, Li Chengqian can still get Suning's latest ideas all the time.

For example, in the supervision of officials' behavior, Li Chengqian felt that what Suning meant was that the reason why the corruption he hated was repeatedly banned, even Li Ermaxi was helpless, mainly because the world was so big, the emperor was beyond the reach of the whip, and the officials protected each other, blinding the emperor, making the emperor have the heart but powerless, so if you want to prohibit corruption from happening, then the most important thing is to let the officials have things or people that they are afraid of.

This must also be close to the officials, so that the officials feel that there is a sword hanging over their heads, as long as they make a mistake, the sword will immediately fall down and take their lives, with such worries, officials will not dare to be corrupt, prey on the people. Otherwise, just relying on the lack of numbers of royal history, it will not work, and there is an unspoken rule among the people, called the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, so it is considered a strong dragon. When it comes to other people's territory, justice may not be served.

This happens from time to time even in democratic countries, absolute honesty is impossible, but relative honesty can still be done, mainly depends on the system and the people's will, Datang definitely has the people's will, or every country has such a civil foundation, once official corruption occurs, the first damage is the interests of the people. The people are definitely a group with particularly high anti-corruption requirements, so the best way is to let the people check the officials.

Of course, the last sentence was not said by Suning, there is still an insurmountable gap between the officials and the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the people can't fight the officials. All have to eat the board, and then exile. Li Erma's anti-corruption is the anti-corruption under his leadership, not the spontaneous behavior of the people, if it is the anti-corruption of the people, it will be cracked down on officials. Isn't that a rebellion?

Li Er Majesty Xià could not accept it.

Li Chengqian's thinking seems to be a little more enlightened than his father's, and he believes that although there should be a clear dividing line between the people and the officials, since the establishment of the imperial examination system, officials have come from the common people, in other words. Officials are also a part of the people, you can't say that you are a big lord when you become an official, you must let all the people fear you, fear you, and tolerate everywhere.

Therefore, Li Chengqian allowed the leaders of the people, that is, the respected three elders and the like, they can have the right to impeach officials and report officials, as long as the officials in one place cause public resentment to boil, the three elders and other respected old people can report officials, once it is verified, the first thing is to dismiss the officials, take them back to Chang'an for trial, and then talk about other things.

After the promulgation of this order, the people for Li Chengqian's benevolent government is a voice of praise, all say that the dynasty has been fighting for many years, although the country has won many battles, the dynasty has benefited a lot, but the loss of the army and the loss of materials is obvious to all, although we get more, but the loss of human life is irreplaceable, more than ten years of war, the people think, the officers and soldiers also want to cultivate, the new emperor ascended the throne, rest with the people, and give benevolent government, it is the blessing of the Tang Dynasty.

In the early days of Chenghe, the Tang Dynasty appeared a more political and harmonious era than the new era of the Zhenguan Revolution, the founder was Li Chengqian, during this period, although there were no outstanding military achievements, there were no major events that were enough to leave a name in history, but it was the period of the highest sense of happiness of the people since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, officials were doing things honestly, there were no cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the toss, after the local military and political separation, military and political constraints, after the establishment of the rights of the three elders, the civilian officials restricted, local officials had to do things carefully, and did not dare to exceed it at all.

Datang settled down, went all out to develop, went all out to recover, and kept licking the small wounds before, the sanatorium system was more perfect, and some helpless orphan girls became the main service personnel of the sanatorium, and when the wounded soldiers were recuperating, it also happened to promote the emotional cultivation of the wounded soldiers and these orphan girls, and invisibly solved the personal problems of a large number of single officers and soldiers.

The status of military personnel is even more lofty, and Li Chengqian has tried his best to publicize the glory and responsibility of military personnel and improve the treatment of military personnel, especially the standing combat army and the standing guard army; as for the government soldiers, it seems that they have not been mentioned much, and the standing combat army fighting on the borders of the motherland and the standing guard army guarding all parts of the motherland are the objects of worship of the people, and they are professional soldiers who have only one task, to protect their homes and defend the country.

From this time on, unconsciously, the government soldier system was gradually forgotten, the standing army became the mainstream of the Tang army, and the army under the command of the staff headquarters gradually turned into a standing army, supplemented by the government soldiers, and the government soldiers basically became the real auxiliary soldiers, although Li Chengqian did not explicitly say that the government soldiers would be abolished now, but also hinted openly and secretly, encouraging the government soldiers to join the standing army and become professional soldiers, of course, if you don't want to, no one will stop you when you go home to farm, agriculture is the foundation of the country!

In the following decades, until the last years of Li Chengqian's Chenghe, the government military system existed in name only, and later generations believed that it was the measures of Emperor Chenghe that made the government military system withdraw from the historical stage, and the standing army system, which was more in line with the actual situation, became the main body of the army, and also laid a solid foundation for the compulsory military service system in the future.

The Tang Dynasty is politically harmonious and is developing steadily, but other countries have no such luck, such as the Persian Empire, since the end of the Arab War, the Persian Empire has fallen into internal and external troubles. The so-called internal troubles are the power struggle between the military clique that has made great achievements and the advisory clique that holds power, as well as the ensuing struggle between cavalry and infantry within the military, the struggle for political power within the advisers, and the uprising and resistance struggle among the people.

As for the external troubles, of course, it was the Roman Empire that was pressing forward step by step, after the end of the war. The Roman Empire and the Persian Empire re-entered a state of confrontation, if it were not for the intervention of the Tang Army, requiring both sides to maintain the last sanity, it is estimated that the two countries really want to fight to the death regardless of life and death, although after that the two countries also broke out several battles of more than 100,000 people, but there was no battle of the emperor's personal conquest.

The Roman Empire itself was not stable, and the anti-war sentiment in the country was quite high, and the people were overwhelmed by the harsh taxes and heavy forced labor. There are even more inhumane military service, there are not a few people who are forced to have no choice but to rise up, and gradually there is a spark that can start a prairie fire, both sides have no energy to fight a decisive battle with each other, and they have no experience of arguing with each other, so they secretly signed an armistice agreement, and they turned around and were busy suppressing domestic uprisings there, and the thing that caught fire in the backyard could not be done.

comparatively. It is not a bitter irony that the stability and peace in the Arab region were absent from the Roman and Persian empires.

Of course. The Persian Empire was more troublesome than the Roman Empire, not only in terms of power struggles within the ruling group, but also in a more important concern - the absconding of the people.

It would certainly be incorrect to say that the Han Chinese are the most docile race in the world, because people are all the same, no matter how much culture they have been cultivated. Nature will not change, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, this is the same for everyone, as long as the government at the head does not go too far, everyone as long as there is still food. They will not rise up to make trouble, unless they are cornered, there will be an uprising, but even so, there are still a small number of uprisings, and it is the vast majority who are trying to survive.

In other words, not resisting until the end is talking about the vast majority of human beings.

Therefore, compared to the Persians, who were closer to the Tang Dynasty, the Romans had only one way to rebel, while the Persians, who were closer to the Tang Dynasty and had innate advantages, had more paths to choose from, they would not rebel against the government, they were afraid; But before, the Tang army and soldiers gave them a good feeling, so many of them chose to flee to the Tang Dynasty to seek refuge after they could not bear the high pressure at home - those merchants who came and went with the Tang Dynasty told them that the Tang Dynasty was living a good life, and the people did not need to bear the burden of forced labor except for paying a part of the taxes.

They fled to the Tang Dynasty tremblingly, at first they were more restrained, they didn't know if those mighty and powerful Tang soldiers would accept them, they sent a few representatives to the border of the Tang Dynasty quietly, and the Tang soldiers negotiated with their heads and brains, saying that they were hungry, wanted to get food, wanted to have a stable life, and could no longer withstand the high-pressure policy of the Persian government, they longed for peace.

The Tang soldiers did not expel them, nor did they draw their swords against them, but found officers, and the officers could not decide, so they went to the generals, and after finding the border army commander General Jiao Changhe, Jiao Changhe said that no matter what else, they are already very hungry, and there are many women, children and old people, out of our conscience, we can't watch them starve to death, when we went on an expedition to Arabia, it was they who provided us with food, and we should let them have food to eat.

So the first batch of Persian refugees from the Tang army came to the food of the Tang Dynasty - rice and meat, they ate very well, that group of refugees got food, they were grateful to the Tang Dynasty, most of them brought some uneaten grain back to Persia to their relatives to eat, and a small part, about a few hundred, knelt beside Jiao Changhe, saying that they did not want to go back there, they hoped to become the people of the Tang Dynasty, pay taxes, abide by the law, even if they paid higher taxes than ordinary Tang people.

Jiao Changhe and the soldiers of the border army were shocked, what kind of government and ruling policies would make the Persians abandon their motherland and defect to the Tang Dynasty? At that time, it was already the late Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty had been strong for a long time, and the imperial court policy had been mild for a long time, and everyone had become accustomed to a life of prosperity and comfort without forced labor, and it was precisely because their relatives had such a life that they would choose to repay the imperial court by joining the army, so they could not accept that the Persian government was still ruling inhumanely for a while.

A total of 527 Persian refugees entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty without the consent of the Dadu Protector of the Anxi Prefecture, and were first placed in the border army camp to shelter, Jiao Changhe sent people to report to the Anxi Protectorate, hoping to accept the oppressed Persian refugees who were dying to take refuge in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they were willing to become the people of the Tang Dynasty.

On the third day, a total of 3,126 Persian refugees came to the Persian Tang border, there was no shortage of men, women and children, and there were even babies crying in swaddling clothes, Jiao Changhe was also shocked in the face of this posture, and did not dare to make an unauthorized decision to put so many Persian refugees into the Tang border, he also expected that once he allowed these people to enter the Tang border, the next time they came here, it was estimated that it would be 30,000 people.

In an era when population is the most important strategic resource, how will the Persian government react?

Jiao Changhe couldn't sit still, he handed over the command to the deputy general, and ordered the deputy general not to let them enter the Tang Dynasty for the time being, just to supply them with food and let them wait outside, he decided to personally rush to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to ask the Dadu Protector to decide, no, not the Dadu Protector, it was the decision of the Emperor's Majesty.

However, on the day when Jiao Changhe arrived at the Anxi Protectorate, there was a matter of Persian officials and soldiers chasing and killing Persian refugees on the border between Poland and Tang, and the adjutant general had a greater sense of justice than Jiao Changhe, and he couldn't help it on the spot, in fact, after years of edification, the Tang army generally agreed on a truth - it is a shame to face the sword at its own people, unless they are treasonous.

The Persians slaughtered their own people with impunity, and even a Persian official did not hesitate to smash an infant baby to the ground, and an hour ago, the adjutant general also specially asked for a bucket of boiled milk from another military camp to feed the baby who was dying of hunger because of his mother's hunger and lack of milk, and a group of soldiers laughed happily when the baby regained his vitality, but in an instant, the baby died, just as his life was about to begin......
