Among them, the "state official" is the staff who assists in handling the affairs of the country's feudal territory, and the "government minister" is the staff who assists in handling the affairs of the central cabinet.

"Family affairs", "account affairs", "defense cabinets", etc., belong to private affairs.

There are as many as 1,000 of these staff members and employees, and "and still give" means that the salaries of these thousands of people are still paid by the state.

What's more, "if you suffer from a small miasma, every three or two days to the door in the book of Pingzhangshi", which means that the emperor still regards Li Yaoshi as a Zaifu.

In the Tang Dynasty until later generations, if you do not add titles such as "Tongping Zhangshi", "Pingzhang Political Affairs", and "Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin", even if you are in the cabinet, you are not a real prime minister.

And "adding Li Jing's special advance system" is actually an abuse of these titles.

However, Pharmacist Lee's duties in the world have not yet been fully perfected.

However, half a month later, he was about to make a comeback and go to the glacial plateau to continue to expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty.

After the Tang Dynasty pacified the Turks, the border was only temporarily calm.

During the heyday of Jieli Khan, he lived in the moraine, and there were eight other in the four directions.

Later, Xue Yantuo rose, and Yantuo, one of the three northern Turkic settings, was first attacked, and soon the valley and Tuo were also defeated, and the two led their troops to the west.

In the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, the term "Turkic" generally referred to the Eastern Turks.

The region later known as the Western Turks was not politically stable at that time, but rather a competition and alliance between the descendants of the Apo Khan and the descendants of the Datou Khan.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, after Su Dingfang pacified the Western Turks, the Tang Dynasty set up the Kunling Protectorate and the Mengchi Protectorate in his hometown, and the jurisdiction of the two prefectures basically corresponded to the territories of the two factions of Apo and Datou before.

In the seventh year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the descendants of Datou received the secret help of the Great Sui to defeat the descendants of Apo and become the Great Khan of the Western Turks.

In the first year of Zhenguan, he originally wanted to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, but he was hindered by Jieli and failed to realize the Tongye Hu Khan, that is, the younger brother of the shooting.

And Mohe Khan, who was assassinated by Ye Hu in the second year of Zhenguan, is a descendant of Apo.

Later, the son of the commander Ye Hu, the Khan of Ye Hu, defeated Mo Helu, but there was civil strife again, and Ye Hu fled to Kangju.

At this time, Desire Valley and Tuo were defeated by Xue Yantuo and fled westward.

He took down the Western Turks in the civil strife, established himself as Dubu Khan, and entered the Tang Dynasty in the ninth year of Zhenguan.

Desire Valley Sheze first went to Gaochang, and then went to Central Asia, and in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, he established himself as the Khan of Yibilu, and then annexed all the tribes and became the Great Khan of the Western Turks.

This is a later story, and I will say ......

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Shuming of Japan sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty and sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty.

In the following year, Li Shimin sent Gao Biaoren to hold the festival and sent the Tang envoy fleet to Japan.

Gao Biaoren, the son of Gao Gong, the left servant of the Sui Dynasty, arrived in Nambatsu, Japan, in October of that year, which is now Osaka.

At that time, Japan sent a fleet of 32 ships, hoisted colorful flags, played drums, and gave a grand welcome at the mouth of the river.

Gao Biaoren demanded that "the emperor step down to the throne and face north to accept the letter of the Tang envoy", but the Japanese prince did not allow it, and the two sides could not argue.

As a result, Gao Biaoren did not read out the order of the court and returned to China angrily.

It can be seen that even if the Tang Dynasty pacified the Turks, even if the Tang Dynasty became the Heavenly Khan, it was still difficult to deter Dongyi.

In April of the fifth year of Zhenguan, the Huxue tribe of Lingzhou rebelled, and Li Daozong broke it.

From the sixth to the eighth year of Zhenguan, the southern fangs rebelled repeatedly, and they were all pacified by local officers and soldiers.

Tuyuhun first entered Kolanzhou in March of the sixth year of Zhenguan and repelled the local officers and soldiers.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, his khan Murong Fuyun sent envoys to pay tribute.

Before the envoy left Chang'an, Tuyuhun actually sent troops to plunder Shanzhou and left.

Li Shimin sent Honglu Cheng Zhao Dekai as an envoy to investigate the responsibility, and ordered Fu Yun to enter the court.

At that time, Fu Yun was very old, and the state affairs were entrusted to his prime minister, King Tianzhu.

This method of sending envoys to pay tribute on the one hand, and sending troops to plunder on the other hand, is the power technique of the Tianzhu King.

At this time, the Heavenly Khan ordered Fu Yun to enter the court, but he said that he was sick and could not come, so he only asked for peace for his son.

Li Shimin agreed, and ordered the king to enter the court to welcome him.

The king did not come to the court, so the marriage was abandoned.

Tuyuhun not only repeatedly committed offenses, but also detained Zhao Dekai.

Li Shimin successively sent envoys more than ten times to hold him accountable, and summoned the Tuyuhun envoy who was still in the Tang Dynasty to personally inform him of the consequences of violating the Heavenly Empire.

Although Zhao Dekai was able to return to China after all, Tuyuhun continued to plunder Lanzhou and Kuozhou.

After all, this made the Tang Emperor unbearable and decided to punish him.

He took Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, as the head of the march on the Xihai Road and marched to Tuyuhun.

Duan Zhixuan and Li Shimin were in the same year, and the two were friends of the general horn.

He once accompanied Li Shimin to crusade against Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, and Wang Shichong, not only a great general, but also a hero in the Xuanwumen Change.

In June of this year, Duan Zhixuan led the army out of Lanzhou and Kuozhou and defeated Tuyuhun.

He chased more than 800 miles to the west, not only crossing Qinghai, which is today's Qinghai Lake, but also continuing to move westward for more than 30 miles.

It is near the end of the grassland, and further west is the Shiozawa moraine.

When Duan Zhixuan came to the local area, he saw idle horses, cattle and sheep, and traces of the Tuyuhun army, which had long disappeared between the vast world and the towering mountains.

The local area is located on the plateau, and many Tang soldiers have developed symptoms such as dizziness and anorexia, so Duan Zhixuan had to return to the court.

In the months that followed, Tugu was also settled.

However, in November of this year, after Li Shimin allowed Li Yaoshi to resign and abdicate, in just 16 days, the military report of Tuyuhun's entry into Kouliang Prefecture had already reached Beijing.

It can be said that once Tuyuhun got the news of the retirement of the Tang Dynasty military god, he immediately impromptu the division to invade the territory.

Also in these sixteen days, the envoys of Songtsen Gampo arrived in Chang'an.

The country had not interacted with Middle-earth until then.

Tubo is located in the southwest of Tuyuhun, which is today's Tibetan Plateau.

Originally, there were many tribes in this area, until Songtsen Gampo's father, Nangri Nonzan, conquered the neighboring tribes, and at the same time appointed talents, reformed internal affairs, and brought Tubo to grow.

However, this caused the dissatisfaction of the existing aristocratic forces within it, and poisoned the praises of the Japanese people.

Songtsen Gampo quelled the rebellion and succeeded Tsangpu.

He heard that the Turks and Tuyuhun had made peace with Middle Earth, so he also sent an envoy to ask for marriage.

Although Li Shimin did not allow peace and only sent an envoy to comfort him, this envoy made Tian Khan realize the strength of this plateau country.

According to the description of the Tibetan envoy, Songtsen Gampo was in its prime, brave and strategic, and the neighbors were salty.

Such a lord must have the ambition to continue to expand his territory.

And Tuyuhun is in the northeast of Tubo.

In the future, whether the two countries join forces, or one country takes the other, it will pose a great threat to Datang!

In particular, from the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions, there is only a line of Hexi.

If you can't maintain the peace of the road in this area, you won't be able to activate the exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions.
