Chapter 422: Heavenly Khan!
"As Dr. Wen said, the expulsion of the Turks will definitely damage Your Majesty's sage, and it will also allow Xue Yantuo, Hui and other countries to reap the benefits and grow suddenly."
Xu Fengleidao,
"Therefore you shall not be expelled."
Wen Yanbo's expression softened, and he was no longer so ugly.
"You can't be expelled, and you can't move inward, so what do you say!"
Li Shimin said helplessly.
You kid, this bowl of water is really flat! The old water master is here!
"It's about Datang Sheji, how can it be so simple, either left or right?"
Xu Fenglei Zhengsedao,
"It's complicated! The settlement and governance of the Turks is enough to become a permanent topic in the court, and later emperors cannot take it lightly! β
Li Shimin's expression was grim, and his sitting posture was upright.
"The minister thinks that to govern the Turks, we should take three measures: 'division, moderation, and moderation'."
Xu Fenglei stretched out three fingers and said slowly,
"The so-called division is to divide and rule, not only to place the Turks outside the pass, to separate the Tang and Turks, but also to subdivide the Turks within the Turks."
"As far as the minister knows, there are not only Turkic people in the Turkic region, but also Sogdians, nine surnamed Tiele, etc., and these Hu people of different origins are subdivided, each given an area of activity, and prefectures and counties are set up in the vast northern Xinjiang, such as Turkic Prefecture and Tiele Prefecture."
"To divide and conquer in this way is to divide and dissolve. Over time, the concept of pan-Turkism disappeared, the Turks were the Turks, and the Sogdians were the Sogdians, and they would no longer mix with each other, and the Hu people who were separated would no longer fight for the Turks. β
Isolation, differentiation!
"You're trying to weaken the Turks?"
Li Shimin asked, holding his chin.
"Naturally weakened! The Hu people may have the same heart as us, but that will be a thousand years later! For hundreds of years now, the ministers don't recognize that the Turks can be of the same mind as us! β
Xu Fenglei nodded and said,
"That being the case, of course, we must cut it, and we must guard against it!"
"You go on." Li Shimin was noncommittal.
"Second, it's suitable!"
Xu Fenglei said again,
"Whether it is customs, culture, or beliefs, the Turks and the Tang people are very different, how can they use the same set of policies?"
"For the Turks, when there is a system applicable to the governance of the Turks, such as the superstitious belief of the Turks in the steppe gods, the voice of the steppe priests can be increased, and at the same time, this priest must be appointed by the Tang Dynasty to govern the Turks together with the minister in Turks!"
These remarks aroused the private discussion of many ministers.
"A system for the Turks? Do any of you know about the Turks? β
"Who has nothing to do to understand those barbarians......"
"yes, that's hard!"
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched.
"Xu Aiqing, as soon as you touch your mouth, you will give me a big problem!"
He said helplessly,
"Just the system you said is suitable for the Turks, I don't have any idea at all."
"If you want to make it well, I'm afraid you have to send a team to investigate the Turks!"
Xu Fenglei shrugged.
"The minister doesn't care, the minister is only responsible for making ideas, just for reference."
He raised his hand and said,
"Next, the third point is Jin!"
"What do you mean? It is self-restraint and reserve! As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is the Son of Heaven, and it stands to reason that everyone in the world should be treated equally, whether it is the Tang people or the Hu people, they should be regarded as their own people. β
But this is just talking, people are not Buddhas, they all have discriminating minds, how can they be regarded as equal? It's just a pair of hands, and you have to divide the palms and backs of your hands! β
"In the minister's view, the Tang people are the foundation of His Majesty, and the foundation must not be shaken! Therefore, in His Majesty's heart, the Tang people should be ranked in the first gear, and the Hu people should stand behind. β
Goo-dong.
His throat was dry, Xu Fenglei took a sip of tea and continued:
"It is foreseeable that Your Majesty is the emperor of the Tang people, and will also become the 'khan' of the Hu people, and Your Majesty can show closeness, regard himself as a khan to the Hu people, issue decrees to the Hu people, and also issue them as a khan."
"But no matter what, Hu Han is different! While approaching the Hu people, you should also keep a certain distance! The minister describes this distance in two wordsβ"
"Not far."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"Not far? What is not far away? He asked.
"Close but not fit, leaning on but not blending."
Xu Fenglei arched his hand,
"It's not far off, it's a balance."
"As long as this balance is there, both Your Majesty and the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty can maintain their rule over the Hu people, and the blood of the Han people will not be defiled!"
"In this way, even if the Hu people rebel in the future, it will be nothing more than a new foreign enemy in our Datang, and there will never be internal strife. As long as there is no internal chaos, even if there are strong enemies around, what is there to fear? β
His goal has never changed-
Let Datang survive for another hundred years!
What is eternal and what is always stable...... Xu Fenglei never thought about it.
And this "divide, fit, and discreet" three strategies against Hu, although it is not used to sit back and relax, but at least it is better than Li Er's restraint system.
If Datang has a blood bar, these three strategies add an extra cut to Datang, isn't it too much?
"The minister seconded the proposal."
Fang Xuanling got up and arched his hand,
"What the Taishi said is that Lao Cheng is seeking the country for the sake of future generations. In particular, the word "η" is used very essence. β
"With these three words, as long as the kings of the future generations master it, they will not be able to make a mistake, even if something goes wrong one day in the future, it can be remedied, so as not to cause chaos in the territory and cause trouble."
When the rest of the ministers heard this, most of them arched their hands and said:
"The old master has become a country, and the ministers seconded it!"
In the political hall, only Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo, two people with completely opposite views, did not speak.
But they also did not stand up to refute it.
Obviously, Xu Fenglei's point of view, although it did not satisfy them, was also within the acceptance of both sides.
"Divided, appropriate, and discreet, the three-character mantra."
Li Shimin pondered for a long time, extinguished the cigarette butt, and couldn't help but sigh,
"Xu Aiqing's strategy is better than the vision, and the victory is in the long-term!"
"I think about it, Wei Aiqing's strategy is too extreme, and Wen Aiqing's strategy has too many hidden dangers, so only Xu Aiqing's strategy is the most satisfying, the most calm, and it is also in line with the golden mean of our Tang people."
ββ¦β¦ According to Xu Aiqing, around the 'divide, appropriate. The word 'η' to rule over the Turks! β
All the ministers rose up.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
After praising in unison, under Li Shimin's signal, he sat down.
Proceeds resumed.
But when the meeting came here, Xu Fenglei really hung up, didn't listen to anything, and directly closed his eyes and began to nap.
After a while, there was a snoring sound......
Several ministers beside him looked strange and wanted to remind them, but they didn't dare to make too many moves, Fang Xuanling could only kick Xu Fenglei with his foot.
Motionless.
Li Shimin's expression was also a little displeased, but he couldn't say anything for the sake of this kid who had just made a big move, so he could only snort coldly and said:
"What you say is yours, don't be disturbed by others!"
Ministers: "......"
β¦β¦
Noon, harem.
The eldest grandson Wujian has another table of dishes, and several sons and daughters are there.
"Come, come, listen."
She smiled and beckoned,
"Since you came back, we haven't had a good meal, this hot pot is just for people to eat more, so that it can taste."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Xu Fenglei slept well, was full of energy, and arched his hand.
"Master, sit here, sit here!" Li Lizhen raised her arms and shouted.
Xu Fenglei grinned.
"Okay, well, sit next to you."
He walked over to Li Lizhi and sat down, and said,
"I'm just hungry, beauty, don't grab food from Master later!"
When Li Lizhen heard this, her brows suddenly wrinkled.
"That'...... Master, why don't you sit next to Brother Qingque......"
She grimaced and wondered.
"Hahahaha......"
Xu Fenglei laughed, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
He scratched Li Li's little nose and said,
"You little clever ghost!"
"Sleep and eat, eat and sleep, who will enjoy the most in Datang, who else will you be?"
Li Shimin sat beside the eldest grandson Wuji, and said in a strange way,
"Guanyin, guess what this kid was doing just now? Sleep in the hall! The sound of snoring can be heard clearly by the eunuchs outside the hall! β
"Really...... Do you say that there is a courtier who did this? β
When the eldest grandson heard this, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
"Listen, really?"
She looked at Xu Fenglei.
"Ahem...... Your Majesty misunderstood. β
Xu Fenglei coughed dryly, covered his chest and said with a bitter face,
"Thinking about the settlement of the Turks for His Majesty, the minister has worked hard to come up with a strategy, and he has already used up all his energy!"
"No way...... The minister can only take a short break to recover his spirit, Your Majesty, the minister is so dedicated, how can you bear to be so harsh? β
"The heart of the minister...... It hurts! β
Li Shimin: "#Β₯......&*@#"
"Alright, alright!"
Seeing that Xu Fenglei was getting more and more into the play, he had to wave his hand and say,
"I know you're working hard, didn't I wake you up? I also asked the maidservant to add a blanket to you! β
"That's just that...... Don't worry, I remember your merits! Never forget! β
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he snorted lightly and stopped performing.
If you continue to enact, you can't talk about it without squeezing out two tears and spitting out some blood......
"What strategy did you hear?"
The eldest grandson Wujian became curious and asked,
"The concubine also wants to hear about it."
Although she is the queen, the eldest grandson is also a hidden excellent politician.
Many of Li Shimin's governance strategies are checked by her behind the scenes.
This is also the reason why Li Er ran to the queen twice in three days, on the one hand, he loves his wife, and on the other hand, this wife is really capable!
"Hearing Ming gave a policy towards the Turks - divide, moderation, and discreetness!"
Li Shimin told the story.
He retold Xu Fenglei's strategy, and at the same time, he also sorted out his thoughts.
"Wonderful."
The eldest grandson was stunned, clapped his hands and praised,
"In this way, Your Majesty can rule the Hu clan without worrying about the Hu people."
"The word Jin is even more subtle, even if the qualifications of the kings of later generations are mediocre, as long as you master this word, you can be worry-free."
She listened to it once and got to the point.
The point of view is the same as Fang Xuanling.
"Yes, if you listen to the clear strategy, you will win for the sake of future generations."
Li Shimin also stroked his beard and praised it, and turned his gaze to Li Chengqian.
"Cheng Qian, you have to grasp the Tang Dynasty's policy towards the Hu people, and you must understand these three words of your master thoroughly!"
"Now that you are not young, I will slowly let you deal with government affairs, especially for Hu political affairs, I will hand them over to you!"
Li Chengqian's heart was shocked!
He felt a little pressure, but with the encouragement of Master's eyes, he immediately gained confidence.
"Father, rest assured, the child must study hard and never slack off!"
He stood up and saluted.
Li Shimin smiled.
"Sit down, sit down."
He stroked his beard and said,
"To solve a problem today, you should have a good meal!"
"Let's have a table! Belch...... Anyone else hasn't arrived? β
Li Er saw that there was still an empty seat, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Who has such a big shelf, and they haven't come yet?
"Qingquan is still dealing with the affairs of the money bank, and she is busy enough...... I heard that the first pension for the fallen has already begun. β
The eldest grandson Wujian showed a trace of distress in his eyes, and said,
"This child, I don't know how to rest, she always works like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it."
Li Shimin was silent for a while.
At this moment, a waiter walked in with a stack of books, knelt down and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, the countries of Northern Xinjiang have sent a letter of state, as well as a joint letter from the leaders of various departments."
"Prime Minister Fang said that it was a happy event, let His Majesty personally enlighten it."
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Oh? Is it a happy event? β
He beckoned,
"Come on, show me."
The attendants handed over the national letters and folds, and Li Shimin casually distributed them to the eldest grandson Wujian and Xu Fenglei.
"Let's see, what kind of happy event can Fang Xuanling send to the harem at this time."
Li Shimin said with a smile.
Xu Fenglei put down his chopsticks and opened them gently.
In his hand is the joint excerpt from the leaders of the various departments to the Tang Emperor.
The word "excerpt" is worth pondering.
After all, the grassland tribes, such as Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui, have not been destroyed, and at the national level, the two sides are equal.
It's normal to send a letter of state, this is an excerpt...... But the subordinate will only go up to the superior!
Crash.
Xu Fenglei opened it gently, and his eyes suddenly froze.
"Hahaha......"
At that end, Li Er laughed happily,
"These tribes are interesting, really interesting! I don't know where it came from, so I have to come to Datang and voluntarily become a vassal! β
"Aren't you frightened by the destruction of the Turks? Hahaha......"
"Yes, no emperor will dislike the vassal country!"
The eldest grandson beside him also smiled and said:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you don't need to use soldiers, you can get a vast territory."
Li Shimin was happy and complacent.
He looked at Xu Fenglei and asked with a smile:
"Listen, what does this joint excerpt say? Are you slapping my ass? Hahaha......"
Xu Fenglei suddenly got together and looked at Li Shimin, his eyes blazing.
Li Er smiled, obviously intimidated by his momentum - what's wrong with this?
Engage in such seriousness?
ββ¦β¦ What's the matter? He said.
"The leaders of the grassland tribes are jointly named, and they are willing to honor His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Saidβ"
Xu Fenglei was sonorous and powerful, word by word,
"Heavenly Khan!"
