Hurried and heavy footsteps sounded outside the middle hall, interrupting Li Xuan and Wang Dezhen's words.

Li Xuan turned around and saw Zhou Qian enter the lobby with a solemn face, and then arched his hand to Li Xuan and said, "Handsome, Chang'an Kumon." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, took the briefcase handed over by Zhou Qian, looked at the outer and outer inks, and then opened it, and a brand-new chapter appeared in front of Li Xuan.

Standing in the lobby, Li Xuan read carefully and read a lot, and finally his eyes were fixed on one point: "Your Majesty wants to crown Ashina Nishulu as the Khan of Eastern Turkic." ”

"Eastern Turkic Khan?" Wang Dezhen took the recital from Li Xuan's hand and read it from top to bottom.

The first thing in the official document is that the emperor named Princess Wencheng as Princess Wencheng, who has the right to enter the palace at any time and even counsel the military affairs of Tibet.

This is as it should be, after all, Princess Wencheng has been in Tibet for many years, and she knows a lot more about Tubo than them.

The two questions raised here are indeed worthy of their attention, because in recent times, there have really been soldiers who have fallen ill one after another.

But fortunately, the problem is not very serious, and under the big war, there is no idea, and now the source has been found.

As for the matter of Tianzhu and Nibore, although it is worth being vigilant, it is still far from them.

Then Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, personally went to Henan Province to investigate the matter of Yintian, and when he saw this, Wang Dezhen couldn't help but sigh.

Pei Yan finally seized the opportunity to be promoted to prime minister.

Wang Dezhen knows Pei Yan's situation very well, as long as Pei Yan can find out the matter of Yintian in Henan Province clearly, then it will be a matter of course to be further promoted to prime minister.

There is also the matter of Yangzhou loom, Su Liangsi killed a lot of people in Yangzhou, but the situation is safe, this year's silk produced in Yangzhou will be more than three percent more than in previous years, this number is incredible.

The military spending of the steppe and Tibet can make up a lot from here.

Grassland.

Seeing the next things on the grassland, Wang Dezhen became serious.

In July, in the Great Battle of the Grassland, Cheng Wuting, the general of the Forbidden Army, and Dou Huaizhe, the governor of Youzhou, defeated 60,000 Turkic cavalry in the depths of the grassland and beheaded 30,000.

After that, it was the emperor's decision to crown Ashina Nishulu as the Khan of Eastern Turkic.

"Turkic Eastern Khan, why not Eastern Turkic Khan, these two words don't sound like much difference, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is a big difference." Wang Dezhen couldn't help frowning, and then raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan.

"Your Majesty just wants to divide the eastern Turks into two parts, east and west, and then let the essence of the steppe be concentrated in the eastern part of the steppe as much as possible, as for the western part of the steppe......" Li Xuan muttered slightly.

Wang Dezhen shook his head directly and said: "If the eastern steppe tribes no longer take the western steppe as their core, then the Western Turks will advance eastward. ”

There was a vacuum in the power of the Eastern Turks, and the Western Turks naturally had to replenish it.

"Why does it have to be the grassland tribe that occupies the key point, why is it not the Tang Dynasty that directly enters the key point?" Li Xuan shook his head seriously, subconsciously looked at the direction of the grassland in the distance, and said solemnly: "The matter of the grassland, if you want to completely end it, after all, you still have to use the Han people to tie the grassland people in your footsteps, and then you can control it." ”

With the Han people as the fulcrum, then all the tribes of the entire grassland will be riveted to the grassland, and as long as the disposal is fair in the future, and the northerners are transferred to the south, then the entire grassland will gradually calm down.

"The idea of the handsome man is always different from ordinary people." Wang Dezhen sighed lightly, shook his head, and said: "In this way, Datang will have a lot more thought on the grassland. ”

"Anyway, it's better than fighting each other for decades, right?" Li Xuan couldn't help but say a little heavier.

The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will take at least several years inside and outside, and the losses of all parties in it are not few.

Wang Dezhen nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head and said: "The Turkic people are in turmoil, that is, this war is completely won, but it is difficult to completely appease the people's hearts. ”

"That's why we have to separate the people who really hold the power among them from the ordinary tribes, and if we don't know up and down, there will be room for us to operate in the middle." Li Xuan said the core of this calculation.

"I don't know up and down." Wang Dezhen finally understood Li Xuan's thoughts thoroughly.

This is actually the same reason as letting the grassland chiefs settle in Chang'an, but this time the concept of the eastern part of the grassland was established on the grassland.

When the time comes, build a city, immigrate the Turkic nobles, and then let the Tang Dynasty soldiers station, everything will be under the control of the Tang Dynasty.

Before the Zhenguan Dynasty and the present dynasty, the Turkic nobles were scattered among the various tribes, and the khan was far away from the people, but the nobles still firmly controlled the people, but now the distance between the nobles and the tribes was extended, and at the same time, the distance between the khan and the tribes was used as a cover.

Not to mention anything else, at least in the short term, the grassland people's resentment against Datang will not be so great, this is Li Xuan's strategy for governing the grassland.

Wang Dezhen nodded slowly, not to mention anything else, at least this method has considerable merit.

"Prairie people." Wang Dezhen looked up at Li Xuan and asked in a low voice, "What kind of plan does the handsome have on the grassland people?" ”

Li Xuan looked at Wang Dezhen in surprise, and then arched his hand and said: "Xuan is just a vague idea, for example, the nobles and chieftains of the grassland can always have an upward channel, but the path of the ordinary people of the grassland is completely in the hands of the nobles and chiefs, if this kind of channel, the Tang Dynasty will also give a kind of ......."

"The prince is planning to take the imperial examination in the grassland." Wang Dezhen couldn't help but interrupt Li Xuan, and his tone couldn't hide his excitement.

If this strategy really works, then it will completely break the control of those grassland chiefs over the grassland, and the grassland will no longer be a threat to the Tang Dynasty.

"It's not that simple." Li Xuan waved his hand, stretched out his hand to invite Wang Dezhen to sit down, and then said in the concerned eyes of the officials around him: "First of all, the probability of literacy among the people of the grassland is really not high, and the imperial examination is just a joke now. ”

"But it's still possible." Wang Dezhen gave up his hand and said seriously: "Please also ask the marshal to write to His Majesty as soon as possible so that this matter can be completed." ”

"Okay." Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "Actually, this king and His Majesty have already discussed this matter, but they have thought about it so carefully, and it is still recently. ”

Wang Dezhen was a little surprised, recently?

Li Xuan turned his head to look in the direction of Luo, and said softly: "If I wait to take Luo, find some middle- and lower-class children of Luo, and send them to Chang'an to study, or even become officials, even if it is only a champion and a county order in the end, it is enough for more ordinary people to see the way out, so their dependence on the royal power of Tubo will be greatly reduced." ”

Wang Dezhen nodded earnestly in agreement, and then, he immediately came to his senses and said: "Dashuai is in Changzhou, and he is doing this in the party, no wonder the people in these two places have been stable for many years, it seems that Dashuai has really found the right trick to govern the place." ”

Li Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "This also has to be given face by Your Majesty and the imperial court, Changzhou, the party, and the people of Tubo finally have limited knowledge, and they can barely be promoted, but the imperial examination is full of talents, and they can't fight for strength." ”

"It's okay, the imperial court will set up a few more county orders in Tubo, and then carry out regional conversion." Wang Dezhen nodded, and a series of plans were already formed in his mind.

Li Xuan arched his hand slightly and said, "In this way, I will ask Uncle Shi to help me in the future." ”

Wang Dezhen came to his senses in an instant, he was not the prime minister now, waved his hand, Wang Dezhen hurriedly said: "The handsome is polite...... By the way, Dashuai, now that the matter of Ashina Mushu is resolved, the battle of the grassland should be about to come to an end. ”

"If we don't mention how to govern things in the future, the big war should be over this winter." Li Xuan gave an affirmative answer.

In winter, there is not much fertile land for water and grass in the steppe, and at that time, it is easier to seize the main force of the Turks.

"I hope the affairs of the grassland can end soon." Wang Dezhen pressed his eyebrows and said: "In the past two years, Tubo and the grassland have been at war at the same time, and the pressure on the household department is very great. ”

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile, at the time of the war, in addition to them, the former generals of the army, the rest of the people in the few households were under the greatest pressure.

The army went to war, and every day, the ordnance, grain and grass were consumed at a rate like the flow of the long river, and those people in the household department were already incomparably big just by looking at the consumption data.

Not to mention the need to calculate whether this year's harvest will be able to offset the attrition of the great army to go to war.

If the numbers don't match, that's what really gives them a headache.

……

"The last thing is the princess's wedding at the end of the year." Li Xuan looked at the last thing recorded on the official document, the marriage of Princess Taiping and Xue Shao......

"The eighth day of the first month." Wang Dezhen frowned, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Do you want to rush back?" ”

"It's hard to say." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly, and said: "Everything depends on what the situation on the front line is, if you can completely defeat the army of Zhan Zan Xiruo before the end of the year, then it will not be a big problem for this king to go back, and it is even more likely that if this king goes back, they will make trouble with each other." ”

Wang Dezhen's eyes suddenly lit up.

The reason why Zan Xiruo and the Tibetan royal family are close now is because of such a huge threat as Li Xuan.

Once Li Xuan leaves temporarily, maybe they will immediately fight each other.

Then strive to completely calm down, control the situation, and compete with Li Xuan again in the coming year before Li Xuan comes back next year.

In this way, Li Xuan's return to Chang'an is not an unacceptable thing.

"Okay, for now, the internal affairs of Naqu County will be entrusted to my uncle, and it is time for Xuan to take a break for a while, and the soldiers in the army also need to gradually turn into a state of rest, and then wait until the big war starts." Li Xuan waved his hand, and then left the lobby directly.

……

Walking in the corridor, the moist air soothed Li Xuan's body.

With Wang Dezhen, a future prime minister, handling the government affairs for him, Li Xuan couldn't be more satisfied.

As for the rest, Wang Dezhen will not stay in Tubo for long after all, and it is even very likely that Wang Dezhen will return to Chang'an as soon as the war is over next year.

Li Xuan's honesty will be a great plus for the emperor.

But on the contrary, Li Xuan's real background in Tibet, Wang Dezhen can't touch it at all, and what he thinks he has come into contact with is everything in Tibet on the surface.

Chang'an, Chang'an, has now been revealed at the end of September of the second year.

Your Majesty, Crown Prince, the time is not far off.
