Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 57 The Biggest Winner
Father has just made it very clear that there is only one Princess Lancheng in this world, and that is Aunt Princess.

This involves the credibility of the Tang Dynasty. If the news of the false princess' marriage is spread, how will he make peace with Tubo or other tribes in the future.

Moreover, the royal family has no family ties. It is normal for father and son to kill each other and brothers and sisters to kill each other. Even if the emperor knows that there is such a shady grandson, he will treat it as if it does not exist.

Han Pingan quickly said: "Understood, I understand."

Lin Shijun nodded in satisfaction, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened them and asked, "Where's your father's official seal?"

The atmosphere was too dull, Han Pingan felt that it was necessary to be active, he laughed and said: "I haven't played enough, please let me play for a few more days."

"That's your father's official seal, not yours. There are many people who want to play with grandpa."

Lin Shijun was really amused, smiled again, and picked up a heavy brocade bag from his side.

Han Pingan took out the official seal and reluctantly handed it back to his father, took the brocade bag handed over by Lin Shijun, opened it, and found that it was full of official seals.He simply poured his brains on the table and took out the biggest one.

"The seal of the governor of Yele...Grandpa envoy, are you going to give me this to play with?"

"This is yours, but the seal of the governor can be kept by you temporarily."

"The history of the chief governor of Yele?"

"Aren't you happy that you can become a driver at the age of 15?"

"Grandpa Shijun, this is the long history of the Governor's Mansion of Jimi, not the long history of those state capitals in the pass. The area under its jurisdiction is not small, but there are not many people under it. Moreover, this seal and this official position are not at all. Don’t take it seriously, let’s hold this seal, don’t talk about calling people, you can’t even order cattle and sheep.”

This kid is still picky.

Lin Shijun couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You are not a small talker. You actually want to be the long history of the Guannei state capital. Do you know how old grandpa was when he became the governor of Ruzhou?"

"How old are you?"

"48."

"But it's boring to do this, and there is a big governor on his head."

"Cao Wu will move back to Yele City in a few days after his death. He doesn't plan to return to Baisha City, nor does he plan to take care of things."

"Even if he doesn't care, the little leaders of Yele's department won't listen to me."

Originally, Han Shimei only wanted to help his son to get a guarantor or a Zhailang to sue, but Lin Shijun was stunned for a moment when he showed this pile of official seals confiscated from the Yele Ministry not long ago.

An Fuyan probably guessed Lin Shijun's intentions, and when he thought that his daughter's dowry had not yet been paid, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Zhong Cheng, Cao Wulan's sons were either implicated in Cao Duman's rebellion, or were killed by Cao Duman. Cao Wulan sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man, and he had no children. His old age was too miserable. , or give him the adoption of the little girl Yun'er."

"It's okay to have an adopted daughter die for Cao Wu, but Yun'er is your daughter, are you really willing?"

"Report to Zhongcheng, there will be nine daughters in the end."

"The daughter of the great governor marries the son of an official in Anxi Jiedu, it's a good match."

"Thank you Zhongcheng for your success!"

An Fuyan got up and bowed.

Han Shimei reacted suddenly, dumbfounded.

Han Pingan realized that they were planning to let him go to Yelebu to occupy the magpie's nest, and was stunned for a while.

Lin Shijun pointed to the seal of the Great Governor in his hand, and said with a smile: "Sanlang, you keep this seal for now, and when you and Yun'er have a child in the future, pass the seal to the child."

"Grandpa Shijun..."

"After listening to grandpa, grandpa not only taught the crown prince, but also taught your mother. She was born in the emperor's family but failed to live a good life for a few years. Now even the crown prince is in danger. Think carefully, grandpa is an incompetent teacher. .”

"Zhong Cheng..."

Lin Shijun motioned to stop talking, and then said: "Sanlang, the only thing your mother can't let go of before she dies is you. She hopes that you can grow up safely and live the life you like happily. Grandpa messed up those big things. , this small matter must be done, and your mother's wish must be fulfilled."

Han Shimei was moved and grateful, and burst into tears.

Han Ping'an's eyes were sour, and tears filled his eyes.

"Chang'an is full of smog, so it doesn't matter if you don't go. Listen to grandpa and stay in Yele and live the life you like. You don't need to worry about Yele's department. Cao Duman rebelled at the right time, and several big leaders were implicated After entering, there are only a dozen little chiefs left."

"Grandfather handed over the five hundred soldiers brought by General Wang from Guishu Town to your father, and ordered your father to serve as Baisha Shouzhuo and lead the troops to garrison Baisha City. Baisha City was originally the Shouzhu City of my Tang Dynasty, but later Bing Shao abandoned the defense, letting your father go there is just a recovery, not a new one, no one can say anything."

"As the governor of the Metropolitan Government, don't drive, you can't have soldiers in your hands. Don't you want to intercede for Li Chengye, and let him take the fugitives who were imprisoned in Wengcheng with his crime and meritorious service.

"Those who can go into battle will be incorporated into your Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and those who can't go into battle will be dealt with. But this Qianniuwei Zhonglang will not be able to do him, and those rebels under him will no longer be soldiers of our town army from now on."

"Baisha City is closer to Tubo, and can be used as a barrier to the southwest of Yele. The night watchman and Youyi people are not on the roster of the town army. You can take half of each, but the food and salary must be raised by your own."

Lin Shijun looked at An Fuyan, then turned around and said, "Li Chengye is a criminal, and his daughter was born to a slave. The etiquette cannot be revoked. From now on, you can call him sixth uncle, and you can no longer call him father-in-law. Are you really There is only one father-in-law, and that is General An!"

How could An Fuyan fail to understand what the old man meant, and hurriedly said: "Sanlang, uncle will give you a hundred personal guards, they are not on the list of the town army, you can put them in the governor's mansion."

Let Dad lead five hundred soldiers to sit in Baisha City for "guardianship", and then turn more than 100 fugitives in Wengcheng, one hundred guards of Mrs. An, and dozens of night watchmen You Yiren who were also not on the roster of the town army into "guardians". His own private soldiers can not only take over the Yele tribe smoothly, but also stabilize the situation in the Yele tribe.

Han Pingan felt like a pie had fallen from the sky, and then thought that he was the son of the Tang princess and the grandson of the Tang emperor, and felt that he was fully qualified to make the whole land a local emperor.

It's just that the land is large enough and there are too few people. Including the slaves, there are only more than 2 people in the Yele tribe.

The official is not small, equivalent to the leader of the autonomous prefecture in the previous life.

In terms of administrative level, it is equivalent to the main hall, and can be hereditary.But judging from the population under the rule, it is only equivalent to the head of a township at the official level.

However, what the local emperor is doing is still very interesting. He can rule in his own territory according to "the custom and the law" and is not governed by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

You can have your own soldiers and horses, as long as you can afford an unlimited number.

It is said that there is a war to be dispatched by the imperial court, but the imperial court has nothing to do with you if you are unwilling to send troops.

You can collect taxes in your own territory, but you don't have to pay taxes to the court, and you don't even need to submit the household registration register to the Ministry of Households. You only need to pay a symbolic tribute to the emperor every year...

As long as you don't openly rebel, even if you kill a person every day, no one will care about you.

Han Pingan didn't expect that he was the biggest winner of Cao Duman's rebellion, so he asked suspiciously: "Grandpa Shijun, you really plan to hand over the Yele tribe to me."

Lin Shijun took his hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa is actually generous to others. If you don't give it to you, it will also benefit others."

This is a real truth.

The Tang Dynasty not only had few soldiers in the Western Regions, but even fewer literate people, and the territory was too large to manage.

For example, in Yele City, Cui Han was the only serious official in all, and he also served as Yele Town Cang Cao Canjun, and there were not many scribes under him.

In the entire Tianshan South Road, Datang actually controlled only four large towns, and the villages on both sides of the trade road with Shouzhuo City, Shubao and Fengbao.

But Han Ping'an couldn't ignore the good and the bad, and hurriedly said: "But you not only gave me the territory, but also asked my father to be a guard and envoy, planning to send so many soldiers to support me."

"Others' officials are getting bigger and bigger, but your father's officials can't be made smaller and smaller, so your father can only serve as an envoy for a year or two at most. The five hundred soldiers just mentioned can only support you for two years." Young waist. You are so smart, two years is enough to control the Yele Department."

An Fuyan suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhongcheng, Brother Han told me that Sanlang had a childhood friend named Su Da, who is now a little leader of the Snow Department. He admires me, Datang, I want to lead my troops to attach."

"Is there such a thing?"

"It's absolutely true, if you don't believe me, you can ask Saburo."

Seeing Han Ping'an nodded, Lin Shijun smiled and said, "It's been a good thing that we haven't been attached to Hu Nei for many years. We can't be stingy, we can set aside a state for him to settle down and let him be the governor."

Su Dana was lucky enough to be the governor of a state.Although he is the governor of Jimi Prefecture, which belongs to the Governor's Mansion of Yele, he is also the governor of the governor.

Han Pingan knew that the old man was helping him to strengthen his strength so that he could better control the Yele tribe, and was very moved.

But thinking that Baisha City is closer to Tubo, and will be tied there as soon as he takes over, he couldn't help saying: "Grandpa Shijun, I am very happy to take over the Yele tribe.

With such a large territory, I can live a good life, eat, drink and play to my heart's content, without worrying about lack of money.But if you want to be safe, I am afraid it will not be so easy. "

"Grandpa knows what you are worried about, but there is nothing to worry about."

Lin Shijun patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Look at the chiefs of Fanhu, no matter how we fight with the Turks or Tubo, they are still the leaders of others, and no one is seen. To feel sorry for them."

"You're planning to make me a fool like them!"

"Your mother hopes that you are safe and well, and grandpa also hopes that you are safe and well. Besides, Dashi and Tubo didn't come here."

The Tang Dynasty was strong and prosperous, and all the ministries in the Western Regions listened to the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty weakened, and all the tribes in the Western Regions fell to the Turks, Dashi, Tubo or Huihe.

This is not only a way of survival for others, but also a helpless move.

Lin Shijun didn't want to talk about that, so he suddenly changed the subject: "The thief arresting department in front is not in compliance with the system, so don't bother any more. When you go to Baisha City and take over the Yele Department, you can make as much trouble as you want. There is no one there. People dare to control you."

It sounded like he was explaining the funeral, Han Ping'an faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he couldn't help asking: "Grandpa Shijun, is Uncle An going to Guishu to do Jiedu Changshi, and General Wang? To replace Uncle An in guarding Yele?"

"How did you know."

"I have read the letter you wrote to my father. Because of the letter, I already knew that the High Priest and Miphatai are making trouble, but it has nothing to do with Uncle An."

"It's not a gentleman's job to peek at a letter, thank you for saying so."

Lin Shijun cursed with a smile, then turned to look at An Fuyan: "Your father-in-law is going to Guishu, but not to do long history, but to take over the four towns of Anxi, including observation, camping, and support, to take over from grandfather."

An Fuyan quickly cupped his hands: "Thank you Zhongcheng for your support."

"No need to thank the old man, although the old man recommended you, but this Jiedushi is not just because the old man recommends you."

"Grandpa Shijun, Uncle An is going to be Jiedushi, what about you?"

"Grandpa wants to go back to Chang'an, count the days, the imperial decree to call grandpa back to Chang'an should arrive in about ten days."

"can not go!"

"Silly boy, is this something grandpa can't go if he doesn't want to go?"

"You can call it sick, and you're not in good health!"

Lin Shijun looked up at Han Shimei who was crying, and then at An Fuyan who was hesitant to speak, and murmured: "Don't be like this, the old man is not dead yet. Besides, the old man wanted to go back to Chang'an. In danger, I don’t feel relieved if I don’t go back and have a look.”
