Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1030

Coming out of the Hall of Liangyi, Siye saw the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager, standing at the bottom of the Highness, eagerly looking forward to seeing their son.

Seeing Siye, both of them stepped forward and circled around their son.

The father limped forward with a dragon stick, and slapped his son vigorously with a big palm-like hand.

"Well, they are still strong, and there are no missing arms or legs. Your mother is still worrying about it all day, so I said it's okay."

The empress dowager immediately dismantled the emperor's platform.

"Who was so impatient just now that he insisted on dragging my old woman to see my son, and he refused to delay for a moment."

Siye smiled and said, "Father, mother, my son is not filial, which makes you worry."

Lao Luo smiled and said, "Hey, it's not the first time I've been worried since Lao Wu took your brothers to serve in the army. Fortunately, Ji Ren is blessed by God, and nothing happened."

Although it was easy to say, Ke Siye was trapped in Dafeiling. He heard that 30 troops surrounded them on a mountain, and the imperial army was not in a hurry to rescue them.It is said that the mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles, let alone the son is trapped in the siege of the enemy.

When Lao Wu took his brothers on an expedition to Goguryeo, it was once rumored that the brothers were defeated in Liaodong, and they were even gone.

Luo's mother was also talking, tears could not stop falling down, "You don't know, before you were trapped in Natuyuhun, your brother had a stroke again, we didn't know it at first, but later he recovered, we Only then did I realize that I hurried over from Luoyang, God blessed me, and both of you brothers are fine."

"Son, stay by Mother's side to accompany Mother more in the future. You see, you survived a catastrophe this time. This is God's concern that you don't even have an empress. Mother will find you a few more ladies. Dote on Xuxian Cui and Li Zheng's concubines more, and give birth to more grandchildren for your mother."

Siye said with a smile, "I won't stay in Chang'an for a long time this time, and I will return to the fief after the work report is completed."

In the Liangyi Hall just now, the emperor not only asked Ce Siye about Tubo, but also talked with Siye about another important matter.That is the emperor intends to change the title of Siye.

Change from Qinghai Lake to Yili River Valley.

The Yili River Valley is still north of the Tianshan Mountains, which is a full seven thousand miles away from Chang'an, and it is still under the control of the Western Turks.This river valley is named after the Yili River. The name of the river describes the sunlight shining on the surface of the water.

The Yili River is thousands of miles long, surrounded by three mountains and two valleys, and flows westward into the Yibo Sea. It is known as the Wet Island of the Western Regions and Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall. This is one of the most fertile lands in the Western Regions, and it is also one of the few places that is very suitable for farming. .

The valley has a mild and humid climate, which is very suitable for the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. The valley is more than 1000 miles long, and the widest point reaches [-] miles.

Right now, the Yili River Valley is under the control of the West Turkic Turkishi tribe, and it is their pasture.

After careful consideration, the emperor decided that it would be better for the Qinghai Lake to be directly administered by the imperial court as a county. Although the Yili River Valley is a fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still too far away, two thousand miles away from Gaochangdu.

In addition, not far to the south of the Yili River Valley is the newly moved Hanting Qianquan in Shekui, so Luo Cheng has the ability to relocate his heirs to the Yili River Valley, and at the same time entrust several heroes with different surnames to go there.

It was initially decided that Siye would relocate to the upper reaches of the Yili River Valley, and the fief was still six hundred miles away.

This change of title is undoubtedly better and more fertile than the previous land under the Qilian Mountains. It used to be a remote and poor place suitable for grazing and was a mountainous area, but now the Yili River Valley is the most fertile Jiangnan outside the Great Wall.

The reason why the emperor handed over the upper reaches of the Yili River Valley to Siye was also because the Yili River Valley was also an important channel for the valley, going west to Taixi, going north to the Jinshan Mountains and entering the eastern grasslands. This is an important channel.

Handing over this strategically important area to Siye, the imperial court is more at ease.

In addition to his heirship to Yili, Boya, the former king of Gaochang, also changed his title to Yili. Originally, the imperial court planned to grant Yili to him, but now the emperor changed Boya to the southern tributary of the Yili River Valley, eight hundred miles away. The upper reaches of the Goat River.

In addition, the nine generals Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Shan Xiongxin, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Xue Wanche, Guo Xiaoke, and Laizheng were all sealed into the Yili River Valley by the emperor this time.

In addition, more than 20 dukes were awarded to the Wild Goat River Valley, a tributary of the Yili River.

The Yili River Valley is more than 1000 miles away, and the Wild Goat River Valley is more than 700 miles away.

In the west, it reaches the banks of Yibohai and Daqingchi, two lakes in the north of the Tianshan Mountains.

Dozens of meritorious officials were conferred this time. The lowest title was the founder of the country, and the fiefdom started at a hundred miles. The highest was King Yili. The title of king was directly conferred with a fief of six hundred miles.

The emperor sent the most powerful generals in the court to the Yili area, which shows that the emperor attached great importance to the Western Regions.

In the east, there are three prefectures of Yiwu, Gaochang and Yanqi under the direct control of the imperial court, occupying the east gate of the Western Regions, and then the imperial court sent dozens of powerful generals to the Western Regions to occupy the most fertile Yili River Valley and Wild Goat River Valley in the north of the Tianshan Mountains. .

One east and one west, almost directly grasp the two main points of Tianshan North Road, not only hold the strategic points in the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, but also separate the east and west Turkic grasslands.

With the vassals of Yili present, the three counties of the Western Regions of the imperial court are no longer alone.

There are three counties in the Western Regions of the imperial court, and Yili's vassals also have backup.

For the vassals, the fief of Yili is still good. It is still on the Silk Road, and it is a place that is very suitable for the development of farming civilization in the Central Plains. The only disadvantage is that it is too far away from the Central Plains, and the surrounding environment is too complicated.

But if it weren't for these shortcomings, how could the imperial court easily confer such a land in the south of the Yangtze River outside the Great Wall to them, and even the Kaibo Kingdom could confer a land of a hundred miles.

As the imperial court's compensation for Siye and Xiao Yu's change of title, the imperial court also specially gave the two former princes in Qinghai [-] and [-] Tuyuhun slaves as compensation.

Luo Mu has no idea where Yi Li is.

But when Siye said that Yili was in the Western Regions, seven thousand miles away from Chang'an, he froze.

"Why is it so far away?"

The queen mother sighed, "You brothers are farther away than the other entrusted. The ancestors, Chengzong and Xiaoliu went to the Liaodong Pass, in the land of Haidong. The fourth brother went to Yunnan again. It is said that it is at the foot of the snow mountain. Now You have to go to the Western Regions again, hey."

It is better for the Supreme Emperor to think more openly.

"It is also a good thing for the sons to entrust the frontiers and establish a country one by one. Although they are far away, the grandchildren still stay in Chang'an to study before they reach adulthood. It is good to see the grandchildren often."

"I'm worried about them. It's so far away, so remote, and there are barbarians all around."
