Chapter 317: Helping the World and the People (Finale)
Li Shimin was the crown prince at the beginning, and Li Yuan authorized him to handle military and government affairs, and there were three things that he was in a hurry to do.
First, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are old and their subordinates are still panicking, and Li Shimin must try to calm people's hearts.
The second is to stabilize the court and reward the heroes who follow them.
Third, the Turkic problem has not been solved, and it is necessary to send suitable candidates to conquer the Turks.
------
In order to calm people's hearts, Li Shimin treated Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's former subordinates well, and no one was held accountable.
Wang Jue, Wei Ting, and Du Yan, who were exiled to Shanzhou, were recalled.
Wang Qi and Wei Ting were appointed as counselors.
Wei Zheng, who gave advice to Li Jiancheng and tried his best to squeeze out Li Shimin, was appointed as the chief secretary of the crown prince Zhan.
For Feng Li, Xue Wanche, and Xie Shufang, who led the troops to attack Xuanwumen, Li Shimin doubled his use. appointed Feng Li as the governor of Guangzhou; Xue Wanche is the general of the right leading army from Sanpin; Xie Shufang is the right Yiwei Lang general of the fifth grade.
Other personnel were still appointed according to their old official positions, and orders were issued that the crown prince and King Qi's subordinates in the old days should not be arrested.
Since then, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's old subordinates have been happy in their hearts, and people's hearts have tended to be stable.
------
Li Yuan made meritorious service to the country with Wei Chi Jingde, and issued an edict to give all the gold silk utensils of the Qi Palace.
In addition, Li Yuan also issued an edict to reward meritorious officials and appoint important officials.
Pei Lin no longer served as the left servant and retained his position. In this way, among the three dukes, Taiwei Li Shimin has been established as the crown prince, and Situ Li Yuanji was killed, only Sikong Pei Lin was alone.
The original vacancy for the position of prime minister is now filled in for the position of prime minister. Ren Xiaoyu shoots for the left servant, and Feng Deyi shoots for the right servant; Chen Shuda and Gao Shilian are servants; Fang Xuanling, Yu Wenshi and Wei Zhongshu Ling. All six prime ministers are complete.
------
Li Yuan issued an edict appointing ministers who had contributed to quelling the rebellion.
The officials appointed are: the eldest grandson Wuji is the secretary of the ministry, Du Ruhui is the secretary of the military department, Qin Shubao is the general of the left guard, Cheng Zhijie is the general of the right military guard, and Wei Chi Jingde is the general of the right military hou.
The officials appointed from the three grades were: Duan Zhixuan as the general of the left Xiaowei, Zhang Gongjin as the general of the right Wuhou, the eldest grandson Wuxian as the general of the right prison gate, and Ding Jikan as the general of the left guard.
In addition, Du Yan was appointed as the imperial historian, and Yan Shigu was appointed as the Chinese scholar, both of whom were four products.
------
In order to solve the Turkic trouble, Li Yuan issued an edict and sent Chai Shao, the general of the right guard, to lead the army to conquer the Turks.
In July, Chai Shao broke the Turks in Qinzhou, beheaded one Turkic general and killed more than 1,000 soldiers.
------
On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Li Yuan issued an edict and passed on to the crown prince Li Shimin.
Li Shimin insisted on not accepting it, Li Yuan had made up his mind, and did not agree to Li Shimin's resignation.
On the ninth day of August, Li Shimin became the emperor in the Jiade Hall of the East Palace, and respected Li Yuan as the emperor. Because Li Yuan lived in the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin insisted on not asking about politics in the Taiji Palace, and set up the place for asking about politics in the East Palace Jiade Palace.
On August 21, Li Shimin issued an edict to canonize Changsun as the empress.
The eldest grandson is Guanyin.
------
After Guanyin was in the middle palace, she advocated frugality, did not seek luxury, and her daily use was as usual.
Guanyin has been in the palace for many years and knows the hardships of the concubines and maids in the palace. A large number of palace maids are locked up in the deep palace, which is really worthy of pity.
She suggested to Li Shimin that some palace maids be let out of the palace.
Li Shimin readily agreed, and issued an edict to release the palace people out of the palace, and after selection, 3,000 palace maids were released, so that they could return to their relatives and let them marry.
------
Most of the "Hedong Six Women" and Hsinchu and exhibition paintings that have followed Guanyin for many years are in their early twenties.
Over the years, they have given Guanyin a lot of help in the palace, and they are also the ones who have contributed to the battle for succession, but it is not convenient to reward them.
Guanyin discussed with Li Shimin to find a good place for them.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the world valued the family, Guanyin asked Li Shimin for personal favors, and gave Qin Lan, Zifu, Qingyan, Shiqin, Qinghong, Qiuyi, Hsinchu, and Zhanhua eight people as the surname "Li", and married the children of the official family as wives as the daughter of the clan.
------
When she was in Chengqing Hall and Hongyi Palace, Guanyin carefully served Li Yuan, skillfully made suggestions to Li Yuan, and won Li Yuan's trust for Li Shimin, so as to resolve the slander of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and individual concubines; get closer to the concubines and bridge the gap between Li Shimin and the concubines; create a network of relationships and messages in the palace; All this played an immeasurable role in Li Shimin's attainment of a great position.
------
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he still relied very much on Guanyin, and there were many things in the court that sought the opinions of Guanyin, and Guanyin concentrated on handling the affairs of the palace, and tried not to participate in his own opinions on political affairs.
Once, Li Shimin wanted to discuss with Guanyin about the reward and punishment of the minister, and Guanyin said in the future, "The morning of the chicken, the only way to ask for the family", the hen crowed, and she had lost her duty.
Li Shimin insisted on letting Guanyin say what he thought, but Guanyin never said it.
------
Li Shimin believes that "the king depends on the country, and the country depends on the people. Carving the people to serve the king, cutting the flesh to fill the abdomen, the stomach is full and the body is killed, the king is rich and the country is dead. The people are in rebellion because of heavy labor, the greed of the officials, and the lack of food for the common people."
Therefore, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he implemented the nationwide process of saving costs, lightly paying for small taxes, selecting honest officials, and prudently using heavy punishments. After the chaos, help farmers and mulberries, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment; Prudent use of troops, reduce military service and conscription, and let the people recuperate.
A few years after the opening of Zhenguan, the sea has been leveled, the road is not left behind, the night is not closed, and the people of the merchant traveler are not afraid of being robbed when they stay in the wilderness.
------
Under Li Shimin's good governance, the people's strength gradually recovered, and the United Kingdom was peaceful, but the Turkic troubles were not solved, and the Turks invaded the Tang border dozens of times a year.
The ministers repeatedly advised Li Shimin to propose a large-scale conquest of the Turks, but Li Shimin refused on the grounds that the time had not yet come.
It was not until August of the third year of Zhenguan that Zhang Gong, the governor of the prefecture, made a statement to Li Shimin, stating six reasons for eradicating the Turkic troubles.
After Li Shimin summoned his ministers to discuss, he thought that Zhang Gongjin's performance was feasible, so he made a plan to conquer the Turks.
------
In November of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin appointed Li Jing, the secretary of the military department, as the general manager of the Dingxiang Road march, and Zhang Gongjin as the deputy commander, and sent troops to recruit the Turks.
He also appointed Li Shixian, the governor of Bingzhou, as the head of the march of Tonghan Road, the governor of Huazhou, Shi Chai Shao, as the head of the march of Jinhe Road, and Xue Wanche, the governor of Lingzhou, as the head of the march of Changwudao, with a total of more than 100,000 troops, all of whom accepted Li Jingjiedu, and divided their ways to attack the Turks.
------
In the first month of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing led 3,000 horsemen to enter the Tun Evil Yang Ridge from Mayi, attacked Dingxiang at night, and broke the Turks.
The Turkic Jieli Khan did not expect Li Jing to lead his army to raid and led his troops to flee to the moraine.
Li Shiyun came out of the clouds and fought with the Turks in Baidao, and also won a great victory.
------
In February, after the defeat of Jieli's army, he fled to Tieshan, and his troops still numbered tens of thousands. He sent someone to see Li Shimin, apologized to Li Shimin, and asked the whole country to join the Tang Dynasty, and Jieli himself was willing to enter the court as an official.
Li Shimin sent Hongluqing Tang Jian to comfort Jieli, and ordered Li Jing to lead troops to meet Jieli.
Jieli said on the surface that he wanted to return to obedience, but in fact he had other plans in his heart, he wanted to wait until summer came, when the grass was green and the horses were fat, and then fled to Mobei.
------
Li Jing led the troops and joined Li Shiyun at Baidao.
Li Jing discussed with Li Shixian, "Although Jieli was defeated, his subordinates were very numerous, and if he was allowed to cross the north of the moraine, the road would be dangerous and the road would be far away, and it would be difficult to pursue him. Now that the Lord has sent an envoy to see Jieli, Jieli will definitely relax his guard. If we choose 10,000 horsemen and carry 20 days' worth of grain and grass to attack Jieli, we will surely capture them alive without a fight."
------
Li Jing and Li Shiyun told Zhang Gongjin of their plan, and Zhang Gongjin asked, "The Lord's edict has allowed Jieli to surrender, why do you still attack Jieli when the envoy is there?"
Li Jing replied, "This was the plan that Han Xin Poqi used back then. As long as the Turks can be destroyed, why should Tang Jian be taken into account?"
So the three of them agreed to set off with the whole army at night, with Li Jing in front and Li Shiyun behind, and led the army to cross Yinshan.
------
Li Jing sent Su Dingfang to lead 200 cavalry as the vanguard, and when he was seven miles away from the Jieli station, he was discovered by the Turks.
At that time, Jieli saw that Li Shimin had sent an envoy to come, and he was smug, thinking that the clever plan had succeeded. Discovering that the Tang army was coming, Jieli fled on a thousand miles of horse. When Li Jing led his army to arrive, the Turkic army was immediately defeated.
Li Jing led the army to behead more than 10,000 ranks, captured more than 100,000 Turkic men and women, captured hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous animals, killed Princess Yicheng of Sui, and captured Jieli's son Di Luoshi. Tang Jian was safe and sound, and was able to get out and return.
The remnants of Jieli wanted to escape the city of Mokou to the north, and Li Shixun led the army to intercept at Mokou.
Jieli went to the city of Mokou and could not pass, and his subordinate chiefs all led the people to surrender, and were captured by Li Shiyun more than 50,000 people.
------
In March, the Turkic Ashina Simo came to surrender, and Li Shimin named him the general of the right military candidate.
The Turks led 40,000 people to surrender.
The little Khan of Tuli came to surrender, and Li Shimin named him the general of the right guard and the king of Beiping County.
Jieli could not cross the city and fled to the small Khan Suni Lost Division.
Wang Daozong, the head of the Datong Dao march, led his troops to force the little Khan Suni to lose.
Suni lost his fear, sacrificed Jieli, and led the people to surrender.
------
At this point, all the Turkic tribes surrendered.
The Turkic monarchs gathered in Chang'an, and the emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty wrote to the imperial court, and honored Li Shimin as the "Heavenly Khan".
Li Shimin asked the ministers, "I am the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, can I be called "Heavenly Khan"?"
The ministers and the kings of the Turkic tribes all shouted long live.
From then on, Li Shimin gave the seal book to the governor of the northwest, all of whom called themselves "Heavenly Khan".
------
In April, Li Shimin summoned the captured Jieli in Shuntianlou, counted Jieli's crimes, and spared him with great kindness.
Jieli thanked him for his kindness, wept bitterly and kowtowed to thank him.
When Emperor Li Yuan heard that Jieli had been captured, he sighed, "Back then, Han Gaozu was trapped in Baideng by the Xiongnu, and he couldn't take revenge for his blood hatred; Now that my sons and people can destroy the Turks, I have entrusted them with people, so why don't I worry?"
------
Emperor Li Yuan was happy in his heart, and summoned Li Shimin and more than ten ministers from close to the nobles to celebrate with wine in Lingyan Pavilion.
The wine was hot, and the emperor Li Yuan rose up, playing the pipa and singing loudly.
Li Shimin got up and personally presented the "Dance of the Ming Dynasty", dancing to cheer up the emperor Li Yuan.
The ministers who were close to the nobles toasted and congratulated Emperor Li Yuan one by one, and did not stop the banquet until late at night.
------
In March of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Li Yuan hosted a banquet in the Liangyi Palace, inviting envoys from various states in the Western Regions.
He said to the eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting beside him, "Today's barbarians are subdued, which has never happened since ancient times."
The eldest grandson, Wuji, toasted Li Yuan and wished him a long life.
Emperor Li Yuan was overjoyed and gave the wine to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin toasted again, wishing Li Yuan a long life, and said to Li Yuan with tears, "The people are safe, and the four provinces are annexed, all of them are in accordance with the holy decree of Grandpa, not the work of the sons."
Li Shimin and Guanyin personally served Li Yuan for dinner, just like a family member.
------
In the same month, a military parade ceremony was held in the west of Chang'an City, and the Emperor Li Yuan personally reviewed it. And in the Weiyang Palace, the wine was placed to comfort the soldiers, and all the civil and military officials above the third rank in the DPRK and China participated.
During the banquet, Emperor Li Yuan ordered Jieli to dance, and ordered the chief of Nanyue, Feng Zhidai, to sing poetry.
Li Yuan smiled happily and said to Li Shimin, "The Hu and Yue families have never existed since ancient times."
------
Li Shimin toasted Li Yuan to a long life, full of emotion, and praised the merits of his father Li Yuan, "The sons were taught by Grandpa early and taught the way of literature and martial arts; followed his father Jinyang to raise troops and pacify Guanzhong. Then pacified Xue Rengao, Liu Wuzhou, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, all of which were Grandpa's wise plans, and in three years, the United States was unified."
"Grandpa is very kind to his sons, and he entrusts the world's important tasks to his sons. Now the heavens are favored, the government is harmonious, the wind and rain are smooth, and the four are attached. Where this can be done, it all depends on Grandpa's holy calculations."
Emperor Li Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, and he was glad that his decision to pass on the throne to Li Shimin was correct.
------
In March, spring flowers bloom.
It has been more than seven years since Li Shimin ascended the throne and changed the concept of Zhenguan.
Now it is the rise of the level in the United States, the four are attached, and the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.
After the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the waste gradually prospered, and although the people's lives were not rich, they finally lived a stable life without lack of food and clothing.
Although Li Shimin's ambition of "helping the world and reassuring the people" has not yet been fully achieved, it still has some eyebrows.
------
Li Shimin, who has been busy with military and government affairs for many years, can finally relax a little.
Looking at the beautiful wind and sunshine outside the hall and the bright spring, Li Shimin suddenly remembered that he had not accompanied Guanyin to the spring for several springs.
Guanyin was also busy taking care of the affairs of the palace all day long, allowing Li Shimin to concentrate on handling the government and not letting Li Shimin worry about the affairs of the harem.
Li Shimin thinks about it, he has really lost some money to Guanyin over the years.
So, Li Shimin arranged for the inner chamberlain, taking advantage of the spring light, to put down everything tomorrow and accompany the queen to the Royal North Garden to enjoy the spring.
------
On the second day, Li Shimin and Guanyin took the children to the Royal North Garden.
The children were led by the nurses and palace maids to play in the flowers, while Li Shimin and Guanyin walked slowly side by side in the spring garden.
The new peaches in the garden are full of fragrance, the tender willows on the roadside dance lightly with the wind, the butterflies in the flowers come and go, and the warblers cry crisply in the ears of the two.
The two were immersed in the endless spring, physically and mentally comfortable, and they were drunk.
------
Guanyin improvised a poem, that is, the "Spring Outing Song" that was handed down in later generations:
The peach blossoms in the upper garden are bright, and the concubine Lan is in spring.
Inoue Xintao steals his complexion, and the tender willow on the eaves is light.
Come to see the dancing butterflies in the flowers, and listen to the warblers in the trees.
Why should the forest be asked, outstanding and famous.
-----
After chanting, Guanyin asked Li Shimin with a smile, "Brother Shimin, what do you think of this poem?"
Li Shimin praised with a smile, "The new peach is as beautiful as a beautiful face, the tender willow is soft and charming, and then look at the dancing butterflies shuttling among the flowers, and the sound of the warbler crying is in the ears, it is really picturesque, and the beauty makes people emotional."
Then he smiled slyly and asked Guanyin, "I just don't know, whose concubine Lan Yanyan moved the spring love?"
Guanyin also smiled mischievously, "Do you still need to ask about this? Of course, I'm a talented woman who became famous in Beijing more than ten years ago."
Li Shimin saw that there was no one outside, and immediately took Guanyin into his arms.
Guanyin hurriedly said in a coquettish voice, "Hurry up and let go, now you are the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin was calm and calm, and still kissed Guanyin lightly on the forehead.
