Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 365
After years of transformation by Zhang Yang and Man'er, the Turkic people lived a comfortable life in the Tang Dynasty.

On the contrary, he is very dissatisfied with the oppression and exploitation of the old aristocrats after they took back their power, and they still need to fight and work hard, with the risk of death.

Although Man'er kept fighting with the Great Zhou army many times, the Turks also reaped good fruits because of the good causes she planted, and sacrificed a lot less in the first fight with Li He.

Man'er's prestige among Turkic people is getting higher and higher.

The old aristocrats united together and wanted to drive her out of power, but they were informed by the young general who respected the barbarian very much.

Man'er leads people to eliminate the old aristocratic forces.

Some armed Turkic nobles fought fiercely with the Turks.

Winter was approaching, and the grain that Dazhou had left in Turkic was basically exhausted, and there was a lot of coal empty, and it was difficult for them to find a suitable buyer.

Man'er realized that the influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the Turks had been particularly far-reaching, and the Turkic people's demand for Dazhou rice had been finalized, and they were full of worries about the future of the Turks.

Shen Yi led a large army to guard the Turkic border, and the country's interests were the most important. This was also what Shen Sanwen and Zhang Yang had taught him for a long time.

Let foreigners not violate the border, dare not violate the border, and must pay a high price to truly protect the country's land and people's wealth.

Man'er led his troops to the border and found Shen Yi who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the Tang army on display at the border, Man'er understood that looting by force was no longer possible, and the longer it dragged on, the more Turkic casualties would be.

Unable to bear the suffering of the Turkic people, coupled with the fact that Man'er was an angry rebel, he decided to vote for the Tang Dynasty again.

Shen Yile agreed with this, but he didn't dare to believe it all, and he didn't dare to make decisions on his own.

The news was sent back to Kyoto, and Li He and Cui Xuan opposed the Turks' joining at the same time.

Disasters are prone to occur in winter. Although accepting Turkic people can get coal, it will consume a lot of food and money, and the Turkic people have repeatedly lost faith in people far away in Kyoto.

Seeing that Jingdu's reply letter was delayed, Shen Yi knew that this matter was difficult, so he had to write a separate letter to Shen Sanwen, explaining his desire for the two clans to live in harmony, and not wanting anything to happen to Yu Man'er, and begging him to make it happen this matter.

Shen Sanwen was very embarrassed when he saw it, but Shen Yi never asked him for anything, this time he was very touched by the desperation everywhere in writing.

Shen Sanwen tried to communicate with the empress, but the empress paid more attention to the changes in the court at this time, and she was also confident in the military strength of the Tang Dynasty. She agreed with Cui Xuan and wanted to wait for the Turks to lose more before taking over together. She was unwilling to do so. At that time, it was repaired with the Turks.

Shen San asked to count how much they had done for the victory of the court struggle over the years, and how much Shen Yi had sacrificed. He was alone in the frontier, how much kindness Man Er and Zhang Yang had to him, and he also had feelings for the Turkic people. , Doing so would embarrass him and disappoint Zhang Yang.

After talking a lot, the Empress was finally moved.

In the end, Shen Sanwen proposed that the method of forging steel can greatly improve the strength of the Tang army, and the empress made up her mind.

Cui Xuan and Li He naturally also agreed to the Turkic peace negotiation because of the new incident.

Shen Sanwen lamented that power is really not a good thing, father and son, husband and wife brothers will change because of it, no matter how deep the relationship is, it cannot be worth the benefits.

The two were at an impasse again.

A large amount of food was transported into Turkic, Shen Yi was very happy to inform Man'er.

The Turks once again belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

Man'er doesn't care about this kind of belonging, as long as everyone can live well, it doesn't matter who the ruler is.

Shen Yi found that Man'er's voice was weak, and when he wanted to ask a doctor to treat her, he found the dagger on her chest.

Man'er said that she had fulfilled her wish, and she didn't want to continue to work hard in the world, so the Turks were handed over to Shen Yi, and she hoped that he would treat the Turks well.

Shen Yi agreed with tears in his eyes.

After Man'er died, Shen Yi buried her together with Zhang Yang.

Man'er had ordered before she was alive that her confidants would regard Shen Yi as the master and ask him to take charge of the Turkic affairs.

Because the Turks returned, in order to get the latest trends of the Turks, both Li He and Cui Xuan recruited newcomers to take over related matters.

However, the newcomer Juzi looked down on the Turkic barbarians, and his behavior was negligent, which caused conflicts between the two groups.

After Shen Yi knew what was going on, he directly beheaded the newcomer, and sent a memorial to Beijing to request that he be crowned King of Zhenbei and take charge of all Turkic affairs.

This move is tantamount to cracking the soil to seal the king, which was strongly opposed by Li He.

Because this is a royal family matter, and the military land in Shen Yi's hands is only a part of the Tang Dynasty, Cui Xuan didn't get involved.But most of his subordinates did not support Shen Yi's move.

Against everyone's objections, the empress agreed to Shen Yi's petition based on various opinions.

Now many people are afraid to accept being sent to the post, and the people who are sent there do not have Shen Yi's influence and military power, they can only be puppets.On the contrary, it will take the fact that Shen Yi cracked the earth to become the king, which will cause conflicts between him and Li Hezhen.If you make him king, it will make all these things justifiable, and make a powerful Turkic Northland a part of the Tang Dynasty.

Shen Yi sent a family letter to Shen Sanwen, telling him that he might never return to Luoyang in his life.

Shen Sanwen felt Shen Yi's resentment and determination after seeing it, and he wrote back only hoping that he would never have other thoughts to cause trouble for Northern Xinjiang, not destroy the overall territorial integrity of Datang, and make more contributions to the country.

Shen Yi did not reply this time.

Originally, he didn't have this idea, but what Shen Sanwen said made him feel very uncomfortable.Zhang Yang has spent his whole life working for the country, and the things he has been taught are already very heavy, and Maner's new story makes him even more sad.At this time, Shen Sanwen didn't pay attention to comfort, but suspicion made him very annoyed.

While jealous of his younger brother, he was particularly disgusted with what Shen Sanwen said.

Shen Yi began to recruit talents, and at the same time eliminated dissidents in the army, intending to build the Northern Army into an iron bucket that he had the final say on, and no one was allowed to comment.

Shen Yi learned from Zhang Yang, and was appointed by Man'er as the person in charge of the Turks, and everyone in the Northland only followed him.

According to the previous economic policy, the North Land sold coal, obtained food, and gradually became rich.

At this time, if the empress' decree reflected on the negative impact on the Northland, Shen Yi would implement it after all changes, and focus on implementing the self-government policy during Wu Zetian's reign.

The DPRK and China criticized this, but Li He was able to suppress it.

Shen Sanwen didn't know if Li He was thinking of attacking his own brother with all the things at once, or if he was thinking about the brotherhood and really thinking about him.

In fact, Li He had started communicating with Shen Yi long ago.

On the one hand, he advised him not to disobey his mother's wishes. If he really has feelings for Turkic, then he should not put Turkic in a dangerous situation again.Do these things, just hope he can correct it.

On the other hand, he also had the intention of testing Shen Yi, if he really wanted to build troops and buy horses to become king himself, Li He would use these to attack him.
