Chapter 356 Tian Khan

  Chang'an.

   One good news after another good news rushed into the capital.

  In the Taiji Palace, the palace servants are getting better these days. The emperor is smiling all day long, and the emperor rewards the palace servants every now and then when he is in a good mood.

  Zheng Wanyan has just been conferred the title of Jieyu by the emperor, and has received many rewards.

When Zheng Wanyan looked at the latest memorial, it was Qin Lang, the deputy governor of Yanran who played the memorial. The leaders of more than a hundred tribes including Turks, Tie Le, and Zahu asked him to play the emperor. All the memorials please respect the emperor of Tang. For the common leader of all tribes, 'Tian Khan', please open a towering Khan Supreme Road outside the Great Wall.

"The leaders of the ministries said that the ministers and others are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they request that the emperor of Tang be respected as the common leader of all the tribes, Tian Khan, to command all the tribes. Towering Khan's supreme avenue, let us be the subjects and subjects of the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation!"

  The ministries also requested to set up border markets, shops, and post stations along the towering Khan Supreme Avenue, so that they can conveniently use cattle, horses, camel furs, etc. as tributes to the Khan!

   Li Shimin, who was flattering, couldn't help being surprised, and felt warm and comfortable all over.

  Tian Khan Supreme, this name sounds good.

  Thinking of the time when Yang Jian separated from the weak and joined the strong, he held dates in one hand and a big stick in the other, and subdued the powerful Turks, so all the ministries jointly respected Yang Jian as the holy Khan.

  At that time, Li Shimin personally experienced the strength of the Central Plains over the grasslands when he was young. In Chang'an City, countless Turkic nobles came and went, and even settled in Chang'an.

   Unexpectedly, Turkic Tiele Zahu and other tribes now also call out the name Tian Khan.

  Which one is louder, Tian Khan or Saint Khan?

   "Hahaha, this Qin Huailiang must have done it again!"

  Even though the emperor said so, from his full smile and smug tone, Zheng Wanyan still understood that the emperor was very useful. Qin Lang's flattery was extremely appropriate, just tickling the emperor's itch.

Li Shimin took the memorial and carefully looked at the names of the tribes and leaders who signed the names behind. Among these unfamiliar names, there was no such strange name as Jieli Khan, Tuli Khan, Tuoshe, Yugushe, or the tribes of Tiele. The names of the Jins are not enough to truly represent the leaders of the ministries, but this is a good start.

  Qin Lang asked to open the towering Khan Supreme Avenue on the back of the watch, and also said that he would set up more than a hundred post stations along the way, and build border markets, commercial halls, military headquarters, military forts, etc.

  Qin Lang made a suggestion to the emperor, that is, for these places outside the Great Wall, because there is no wall, they need to be controlled and controlled, and chains are needed.

  Fix the towering Khan Supreme Avenue as a line, and then set up military towns, castles, beacon piers, post stations, and business halls one by one on this line to strengthen border market trade and military strength.

   "Isn't this the method of Fengbao station on the Silk Road in the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty?" Li Shimin immediately thought of the similarities in the management of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty.

  The management of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty was also based on the silk trade, and then slowly set up post stations, military forts, supplemented by beacon towers on the Silk Road to strengthen the control of the Silk Road, and then influence the countries of the Western Regions.

   This kind of business strategy in the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty was still very effective.

  The chain method proposed by Qin Lang is actually the same.

It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to build the Great Wall in the northern part of the Great Wall outside the current Great Wall. It's doable.

   Just like Qin Lang's three-surrendered city system in Fengzhou, it is already a good verification.

  Replacing defense with offense, building castle roads instead of the Great Wall, is undoubtedly more practical in the land outside the Great Wall.

  Li Shimin now admires Qin Lang's strategic mind even more.

  Later.

  The emperor held a court meeting in Liangyi Hall, and called many famous generals and important ministers to attend the meeting.

There is a huge map on the ground in the hall, which is made up of pieces of sheepskin. The emperor walked in front of this huge map, watching the two states of Yinxia in Shuofang, Yunshuo in Daibei, and Fengsheng in Hetao. , planted the banner of Datang, and the smile couldn't stop on his face.

"Originally, Qin Lang advised me to save 100,000 yuan per month for the military expenses of destroying the beam and sealing the pile. I didn't expect that the first year of Zhenguan was not over yet, and Qin Lang gave me a huge gift. The puppet Liang was destroyed, and the Turkic people supported the puppet to replace Peking University Xingtai Yuan Junzhang also surrendered."

   "Not to mention, Fengsheng Land has recovered again."

Wei Zheng couldn't help accusing Qin Lang of taking the imperial court's risk, lightly provoking the frontier, and saying that the current success is just a fluke, and that this completely ruined the bridge alliance and tore up the agreement with Jieli Khan. I'm afraid that the Turks will usher in full revenge...

"you shut up!"

  Li Shimin was very happy at first, but Wei Zheng came to spoil the atmosphere every time, always accusing Qin Lang of impeachment, and the emperor finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Qin Lang took the risk, for whom? It was for me, for the court, for the people of the world, and for the people of Hetao, Beishuofang. Great Gong, you have the nerve to accuse him so boldly? Wei Zheng, you are a political participant and an admonitor, yes, admonishing is your job, but there are some things that you can’t turn black and white, pointing at a deer as a horse, a loyal and capable minister like Qin Lang would do it Minister, I wish there were all over the court, but an admonishing minister like you has a crooked ass!"

   "You have the ability, don't talk about recovering six states for me, even if you go to recover one state and one county, I respect your loyalty and bravery, but you will only use your words to slander heroes. What is your intention?"

  It was rare for the emperor to reprimand a prime minister so harshly, which made Wei Zheng stunned on the spot.

  Long time.

Wei Zheng held up the wat board, "I am a minister who participates in politics and advises me. I should do my duty faithfully. Qin Langping made great contributions to the North, but he did not report to the court in advance, and he did not get permission. Someone should have pointed out that if your Majesty thinks that the words and deeds of the minister Improper, I have nothing to say, please resign!"

   "I won't allow it!"

  Li Shimin stared at Wei Zheng very impolitely, "You are right, I have never accused you, but since you are wrong, of course I cannot ignore it, step back!"

  Wei Zheng's face was flushed with anger, and he stood there with his neck stuck.

   "Back off!"

  Changsun Wuji stepped forward and pulled the stubborn man down.

  The opening of the court meeting came like this, which is equivalent to setting the tone for today's court meeting.

  Obviously, the Emperor's Sacred Heart is arbitrary, and has already determined that Qin Lang has made great achievements without fault, so now it is not suitable to focus on whether Qin Lang violated the procedural system, and is too arbitrary.

   It's useless to say it, maybe Wei Zheng will end up in the end, and be reprimanded mercilessly by the emperor.

   "Wei Zheng said just now that we have broken the agreement and will provoke Xieli's revenge!"

  The emperor sneered a few times.

"Scholar's words, pedantic! Who is Xieli? I didn't make an alliance with the Turks in the Tang Dynasty. Did it have any effect? ​​The so-called alliance is actually just a step down between the two sides. What really guarantees a truce is strength. .If my Tang Dynasty has no strength, how can Jieli stop at Weishui?"

"It's like I negotiated peace with the Turks every year before the Tang Dynasty, but the Turks still invaded the fortress every year! Jieli is no different from Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan. They are all wolf-hearted and ungrateful people. , in their eyes, this covenant oath paper is like wiping paper."

"What's more, when it comes to the truth of this matter, it was not my Tang Dynasty who broke the oath first. Yu She set up a vote for the Tang Dynasty first, and it was not my Tang Dynasty who sent troops to Fengzhou, and Jieli sent troops to attack our Dongshou surrendered city. !"

   Li Shimin swept over the important officials domineeringly.

"If there is a chance, of course we will fight. Qin Lang didn't do anything wrong and he did the right thing. Jieli is in trouble. If we don't fight him, it's like what some pedantic nerds said. They even wrote a letter to me saying that I It is absurd that Datang should send money and food to Xieli to help the Turks?"

   "Why does Tang Dynasty help the Turkic people? It is God's punishment for them to suffer disasters. Why should I save them?"

   Li Shimin was very angry when he said this, is this kind of person stupid?

  He believes that he is not stupid, that is pretending to be confused and bad!

  Qin Lang made a decisive decision, seized the opportunity to send troops, and took advantage of Jieli's overwhelmed time to restore six states one after another for the imperial court. It is even worse that some people want to criticize such a great achievement.

  If it weren't for the fact that it is not suitable for a large-scale mobilization of troops at the moment, Li Shimin would have thought of simply sending troops in multiple ways, driving Xieli out of Monan directly, and driving him back to his hometown in Mobei.

  Li Shimin feels that many officials have problems in their minds, and their way of thinking about problems is even more strange.

  When people don’t work hard, some people do things well, but they find fault behind them instead. What’s the intention of this kind of people? ,

   "I have always been rewarded for my achievements, and punished for my mistakes. There is absolutely no reason to punish me for my mistakes. Qin Lang has made great achievements this time, and I will wrong him."

  Emperor didn't intend to reward Qin Lang now, but what Wei Zheng said just now made Li Shimin annoyed.

   "Give Qin Lang real food seals to 200 households. There are 1,500 households in Tongqian, and each household has three Dings. One hundred households are given slaves, and 10,000 pieces of silk are rewarded."

"Yanran Duhufu was renamed Zhenbei Daduhufu. The north of Shengzhou is Yinshan, and the east is Yunzhou Great Wall. The land of Jieli Shanyutai is set as Shunzhou, and the land of Dingxiang, the remnant of Sui Dynasty, is set as Huazhou. In order to change the Yunshuo and Shuo prefectures into the Yunzhong Dudufu, the Huhua and Hue prefectures will set up the Xiangdu Dufu's mansion, and the Fengsheng and Fengsheng prefectures will set up the Langshan Dudufu's mansion!"

   "The Yincheng within the Shengzhou Great Wall is assigned to Yinzhou!"

  The emperor held a dragon staff and pointed at the huge map.

   "The four prefectures of Hui, Ling, Yan, and Xia set up the Lingwu Dudufu, and the Yin, Sui, Yan, and Dan prefectures set up the Yansui Dudufu!"

  The emperor pointed his stick, and quickly divided the vast area in the north of Lingbei into the five governor's mansions of Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Langshan, Lingwu, and Yansui, and divided them into five plots.

  Originally, Yin and Xia belonged to Liang Shidu, but this time they were divided into the two Dudufu with the Great Wall as the boundary.

"Yunzhong, Dingxiang, and Langshan are the governor's houses, and the six prefectures of Hue Yunshuo and Fengsheng under their jurisdiction are all under the command of the northern governor of Zhenbei. The surrendered city of Shunzhou East!"

In addition to Liuzhengzhou, the emperor also established 24 Jimizhou, namely Yushezhou, Ashina Prefecture, Sheli Prefecture, etc. They imprisoned officials such as governors in order to manage these attached Hu tribes.

In fact, it is to establish one country and two systems in the Duhufu, allowing these tribes to be relatively independent and self-governing. After all, even if these people belong to them, but according to the conventions and traditions, they still have their own tribes and horses. They also have their own customs and traditions. method, the imperial court is beyond the reach of these places, and it is not realistic to directly bring them into management at once.

  Therefore, throughout the ages, such a detainment system has been adopted on the border for subordinate tribes.

  The prime minister and ministers are all digesting the emperor's words.

  Wei Zheng stood up again.

   "Qin Qiong is the governor of Liangzhou, and now the governor will be in the land of the four prefectures of Lingyan and Xia. It would be very inappropriate for Qin Lang to be the deputy governor of the Zhenbei Metropolitan Guard."

   "Do you doubt the loyalty of Qin Qiong and Qin Lang?"

"I don't dare to doubt, but this is against the employment system, and even more against the avoidance system. Either Qin Qiong will be transferred back or Qin Lang will be transferred away. In short, father and son cannot be allowed to form a town next to each other, command such a vast land, and have such great power. This case cannot be opened, otherwise the legacy will be endless!"

Wei Zheng was not offended by the emperor's reprimand just now, "I not only oppose Qin Qiong and his sons in the same town of Lingwu and Saibei, but also oppose His Majesty's proposal to set up twenty-four prefectures and place those attached to Hufen in Fengsheng Yunshuoshun The method of transforming the mainland is not of my race, so its heart must be different!"

   "You must guard against it!"
