Liu Yi straightened up and said eloquently: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister thinks that the way to deal with the Beihu people is to combine military conquest with people's livelihood governance is the best policy, after our army conquers the Beihu tribes, we should strengthen the governance of the occupied places, so that those places are firmly under the rule of my Tang Dynasty..."

"Chen thinks that in the past, my Tang Dynasty dealt with the tribes of Beihu, too much emphasis on military conquest, and despised the post-war governance, in several campaigns against the Turkic tribes, my Tang army basically achieved major victories, but after the victory of our army, it was almost a triumphant division, and there was no army left or only a small army left in various places to continue to suppress the Beihu tribes, nor did it send officials to the Turks and other departments to carry out effective management, and still managed those places with the leaders of the tribes. As a result, the deterrent power of my Tang Dynasty against the tribes of Beihu is lacking to a certain extent, and the minister feels that in order to completely extinguish the threat of the various tribes of Beihu, under the strong military pressure, the governance of people's livelihood must be strengthened..."

"If after the victory of our army, we will strengthen governance in the places where the battle has been won, and adopt a series of measures to strengthen governance, such as placing the captured people of all ethnic groups in the interior, scattering them among our Han people, and effectively supervising them, so that these Beihu tribesmen will not have the opportunity to organize themselves to rebel against our Tang Dynasty... After the end of the conquest, we can build a city in a suitable place for the Hu people, and send a certain number of troops to guard it, and at the same time, the imperial court will send our Han officials to these places, and the Hu and Han officials will govern together, and then immigrate from the interior to live there, so as to strengthen the strength and influence of our Han people, these immigrants can reclaim the land and graze, and the army can protect the safety of our Han people while suppressing the Hu people, and at the same time, the army can also carry out military tuntian, reducing the pressure of the imperial court's support, so that my Tang Dynasty can be stationed in the north for a long time..."

Liu Yi said what he had said in front of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and then said it in a slightly changed way, and the tone of his speech was very confident.

Liu Yi paused for a moment after saying that he would use a combination of military coercion and people's livelihood management to deal with the Beihu tribe, he wanted to see the reaction of other ministers in the DPRK and China, and also hoped that someone would stand up and oppose it, so that he could explain the later theories of sinicization more convincingly.

"Your Majesty, the minister very much agrees with General Liu's proposal!" It was Wu Sansi who was the first to jump out and support Liu Yi's suggestion.

Liu Yi was a little puzzled, this Wu Sansi and himself only had contact with the poetry review hosted by Shangguan Wan'er that year, although when Wu Sansi invited him to hope to get together and talk, but because there was a war, plus there were other things to do, Liu Yi did not have contact with this Wu Zetian's nephew, and now it is said that this famous son of the martial arts family in history stood up to support him so strongly, the intention should not be simple, is it not Wu Zetian's instructions?

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister is against it!" To Liu Yi's surprise again, the Huangmen squire and the third grade Pei Yan under the Tongzhongshu Sect stood up.

The eyes of everyone in the hall looked at Pei Yan, Pei Yan walked to the front of the hall in a few steps, pointed at Liu Yi and said: "Yellow-haired child, extremely ignorant, he dares to discuss the strategy against the Hu people in the palace..."

Pei Yan's accusation in the palace made Liu Yi surprised and annoyed again, but he didn't have a seizure, and kept calm and waited for Pei Yan's next refutation of himself.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, General Liu when the palace vainly discussed the first emperor and His Majesty, Niangniang's policy on the Beihu tribe, this is a great disrespect, the first emperor and His Majesty and Niangniang formulated the policy of treating the Hu people, and achieved very good results, the Hu people compete to attach, all countries take my Tang Dynasty as the sect, and the first emperor is also called by the tribes." Tian Khan', and today, all tribes still respect my Tang Dynasty as the kingdom, willing to live in the vassals, just imagine, a policy can achieve such an effect, how to say that it is wrong, and General Liu and Pei Shangshu have repeatedly used the previous policy as a reason to prove that their views are correct, and the minister asks His Majesty and Niangniang to treat General Liu and Pei Shangshu for the crime of General Liu and Pei Shangshu..."

Pei Yan's words once again stunned the other courtiers, this newly promoted important minister of the court dared to accuse Liu Yi, a rising star who currently feels favored by the emperor and empress, and Pei Xingjian, an important minister who has made great contributions to the court, is really not simple.

Liu Yi couldn't help it a little and wanted to stand up and refute Pei Yan, but just as he was about to speak, Emperor Li Zhi spoke.

Li Zhi said: "Pei Shilang's words are wrong, although since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, all the Hu have surrendered to my Tang Dynasty, but in recent years, the disasters in the Northern Hu have continued, and there have been rebellions in both Anxi and Anbei, which shows that the strategy of our dynasty to formulate the Northern Hu needs to be improved, Pei Shangshu and General Liu have contributed to the imperial court, what is the crime?" Also, after listening to Liu Aiqing's proposal, I and Niangniang felt that what she said was reasonable, how could she say that she was extremely ignorant? ”

Pei Yan also heard that Emperor Li Zhi's words were a little dissatisfied with him, but he did not flinch, and still pointed at Liu Yi and reprimanded: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, General Liu's move to govern the land of the Hu people with my Han officials is very ridiculous, and the Hu people have always been wary of our Han people. The minister felt that in order to prevent the Hu people from opposing my Datang, he should not take such drastic measures, but should still use the leader of the Hu tribe as an official to govern his ministry on behalf of the imperial court, and should not collect taxes from the Hu tribe, lest the Hu people have the psychology of rebelling against my Tang Dynasty even more..."

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister doesn't agree with what Pei Shilang said!" After Liu Yi finished speaking, he also immediately stood up and retorted, "No matter what ethnic Hu people are, they will not be willing to obey my Datang, when my Datang soldiers are not in their prime, they often violate my Datang border passes, and only after my Datang troops are strong and are attacked by my Datang, they will obey my Datang." Our military attack, the Hu people's resistance is the most intense, relative to the military threat, other means of governance, the Hu people's resistance will definitely be much weaker, of course the Hu people do not want my Datang to strengthen its governance, for my Datang no matter what kind of means to strengthen the governance of the Hu land, the Hu people must be unwilling to accept, there is a resistance, that is normal, but for my Datang, as long as the governance of the Hu people can be imposed, the Hu people can obey my Datang, and maintain the stability of the border pass, it should be taken, Including the stationing of officials, resettlement, Hu and Han mixed residence, military tuntian, and even the gradual sinicization of the Hu people... When the Hu people attacked our border passes and plundered the people in the past, how could they have thought of etiquette? In order for my Datang border pass to be no longer chaotic, and my Datang people will no longer suffer from the scourge of war, the imperial court must strengthen the further governance of the Hu people, so that they lose the strength and opportunity to resist my Datang, Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister thinks that as long as it is beneficial to my Datang, it is a good policy, and it should be implemented... Also, the minister does not think that because the minister is young, he cannot put forward a policy for the benefit of the country and the people!"

Liu Yi glanced at Pei Yan and temporarily ended his words.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister very much agrees with what General Liu said, as long as it is beneficial to my Tang Dynasty, it is a good policy!" As soon as Liu Yi paused, Pei Xingjian immediately stood up and expressed his support for Liu Yi, "The minister also thinks that at the beginning of my Datang's strengthening of governance over Youdi, the resistance of the Hu people will definitely be fierce, but as time goes by, with the favor policy formulated by His Majesty and Niangniang to benefit Hudi, the resistance of the Hu people will slowly decrease, so that my Datang's governance of Hudi will be stabilized..."

Then Wei Xuantong, Cen Changqian, Wei Yuanzhong and other ministers also stood up to support Liu Yi's views.

"Your Majesty, Mother! The minister felt that in addition to these imposing means of governing the Hu land, there was also a very important means, that is, to strongly promote the sinicization of the Hu people!" Liu Yi took advantage of the fact that these courtiers stood up to support him, and threw out the bombshell behind him, "Only when all the Hu people are sinicized and all the Hu people become Han people, will the rebellion be reduced to the greatest extent..."

Liu Yi used a high-pitched tone to talk about the theories and reasons for the sinicization that he had said in front of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, and he only said it with spittle, and the important ministers in the court looked at him with surprised eyes.

Although some of the ministers in the court already knew what Liu Yi proposed in front of the emperor and empress, the complete concept was only known when Liu Yi told it just now, and this shocking theory was unexpected by most of the courtiers in the palace, and some people did not expect that Liu Yi could talk about the civilization of the Han nation so perfectly, and they did not expect to be able to use Chinese civilization to assimilate the Hu people and sinicize the Hu people.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the minister thinks that with the further enhancement of my Tang Dynasty's national strength and military strength, the Hu people's admiration for my Tang Dynasty is also increasing, if at the same time of military coercion, vigorously promote the means of sinicization, force the Hu people to learn my Chinese characters, speak my Chinese language, follow my Han customs, practice my Han etiquette, wear my Han clothes, then a hundred years later, after several generations of efforts, the Hu people will be assimilated by my Han people, if the world is all Han people, all take my Tang Dynasty as the sect, the probability of rebellion will be greatly smaller, and the majesty of my Tang Dynasty will be all over the world, A small number of Hu people who do not accept the rule of our Tang Dynasty, why should they be afraid..."Liu Yi stopped talking after finishing most of the theories he thought, and after this big call, his mouth was already dry, and he was also waiting for the reaction of the other courtiers.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Pei Xingjian, who had the most thorough communication with Liu Yi, once again stood up to support Liu Yi's point of view, "The Hu people or the descendants of the Hu people are all assimilated into the Han people, and the results of strong sinicization are often unattainable by military means of conquest. The Hu people who don't obey can easily eliminate it, where will the Hu people be? ”

Liu Yi saw that no one in the DPRK and China suddenly stood up to oppose it, and there were not many people who came out to oppose it in front, so he was a little satisfied, and the plans he proposed were still approved by the majority of people, and the results were not too bad...
