Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 675
In the court, the response to Tuyuhun's tribute was mediocre.

As for the discussion between Fan Zheng and Su Hegui, it was not mentioned here at all.

This is the consistent characteristic of court meetings. The big meeting handles small things and the small meetings handle big things.

However, the courtiers were more or less unhappy with Princess Wencheng's cold treatment.

I am the princess of the Tang Dynasty!
To be treated coldly!

However, no one can change the status quo. Who makes Princess Wencheng childless?
There was no heir, so the Tang Dynasty wanted to give Princess Wencheng a shout and let Princess Wencheng enter the Hongshan Palace.

As for the report of General Youwuwei Xianyu Kuangji, it cannot be said that it is not detailed. It can only be said that his focus is different from that of Honglu Temple, paying more attention to geography, army, offensive and defensive difficulty, etc.

Xianyu Kuangji's topic was even heavier: "Compared with the Battle of Songzhou, Tubo's combat power has reached a higher level. They cooperate with each other tacitly and are no longer disorganized."

A country that relies purely on bravery is really worthless, but a country that starts to pay attention to cooperation in strategy and battlefield must be careful and careful.

Liu Shi, the assistant minister of Zhongshu, thought for a while: "Isn't there still Tuyuhun to contain them? I heard that they captured Yema Yilin this time."

Cui Dunli, Minister of the Ministry of War, really couldn't listen to this layman's words, so he raised his scepter and walked out: "Cui Dunli, my minister, believes that the clause 'no mourning' in the "Sima Law" is not an empty statement."

"Although Tuyuhun gained a short-term victory, he could not defend Yema Yilin and Yema Post. Although he won, it was not as good as the bones of Tubo, but he was famous for his attack on Tuyuhun."

"If Tuyuhun is unable to stop it, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to raise troops to counteract this situation."

This bubble was finally burst by Cui Dunli.

There are definitely short-term benefits, but we cannot take the opportunity to destroy Tubo, as we will naturally have to endure the backlash.

You Fugui's eyes widened and he wanted to open his mouth to scold Cui Dunli, but Emperor Yonghui waved his hand to stop him.

If you think about it carefully, if there is something wrong, you are still young after all.

However, with Cui Dunli, a mature and prudent minister, he can make up for it.

"But I am young. What Cui Shangshu said is true. Give silk a hundred colors, and all the gentlemen should follow suit."

According to the professional names of Taifu Temple, the professional management organization of weights and measures, silk is called Pi, cloth is called Duan, cotton is called Tun, silk is called brilliant, and hemp is called Shou (lì, with multiple sounds and multiple meanings); gold and silver are called collar, and money is called Guan.

The emperor's attitude of humbly accepting advice is a good thing for ministers, but not necessarily for the political hall.

There are many things that are subdivided into the political hall. Only when the final opinions are made, the emperor will be reported to the court. But if someone is admonishing in the court, the emperor can't ask about it?

Then, doesn’t this mean that Wen Wu quietly seizes some authority?
Even the people in the political hall couldn't resent this. The power was flowing in the hands of his family anyway. Who could take it or not?

Fan Zheng raised his wat and said: "Your Majesty, Fan Zheng should not be involved in the duties of the Ministry of War, but there is something stuck in my throat that I cannot say out loud..."

"The customs and maps of various places were often adjusted at that time to avoid leaking information; for the gates of prefectures, counties and warehouses, middle-aged men, disabled men, and no relatives of foreigners must be selected."

As for why they are not the provincial city gatekeepers and door servants, the reason is very simple. The duties of the city gatekeepers only correspond to the gates of the capital, the imperial city, and the palace city.

Han Yuan, the minister of the Ministry of War, gave a long laugh: "Honglu Qing is quite familiar with the responsibilities of the Ministry of War's official positions. Adjustments should be made, but since he has no connection with the outside world, is it unfounded?"

The ministers nodded one after another. Han Yuan's views represented the thoughts of the majority of people.

People who have never suffered a loss are so blindly confident.

Fan Zheng smiled: "What Shilang Han said is based on the concept of the Tang Dynasty, which is based on the father's lineage. Heirs should only pay tribute to their father's lineage."

"However, just on the edge of the Tang Dynasty, there are three countries where women are respected: Dongnv Kingdom, Xinv Kingdom, and Subi Kingdom. Who can guarantee where their heirs will go?"

Near the end of Congling is the inconspicuous West Girl Kingdom. The East and West Girl Kingdoms coexist, and by the time of "New Book of Tang Dynasty", it has become a super long and narrow country.

Su Pi was swallowed up by Tubo and became Sun Boru. Although the power returned to Tubo, the customs could not be changed by Tubo.

The smiles of the officials faltered.

If it's normal, it doesn't matter which way you fall;
If it's wartime...many things can't withstand scrutiny, it's just that no one thought about it before.

Cui Dunli said solemnly: "What Qing Honglu said is indeed a big loophole in the Ministry of War! If we hadn't been reminded of this, there might have been many disasters in the future!"

Later, those responsible for the disaster in Weizhou, in addition to the prefectures and counties, were the Staff Division of the Ministry of War and the Men Division of the Ministry of Punishment.

Speaking of Weizhou, at this time, Weizhou was still Jizhou, the land of white dogs and Qiang.

Dong Quzhan, the leader of the Qiang people, married Bao Exin, the county king.

In the second year of Zhenguan, Dong Qu invited the white dog Qiang Jisi again. Even though he was a handsome young man at that time, now he is still a pear tree weighing begonias. The picture is too beautiful to bear to look at.

(The record comes from Weizhou in "Old Tang Book·Geography IV".)
Victoria advanced and retreated twice between Jisi Prefecture and Jingzhi Prefecture, and finally became Jingzhi Prefecture.

The name Weizhou is said to be derived from the city of Jiang Wei and Ma Zhongli of the Shu Han Dynasty.

"Dong Qu, the leader of the White Dog Qiang chieftain, said he would marry Bao Exin, the county king. He insisted on contacting the Tibetan envoys. However, his dissuasion failed and he had no choice but to get rid of him."

Fan Zheng continued to speak.

Unfortunately, the person in charge of Jisi Prefecture is not the Ministry of Husbandry, but Honglu Temple, which is a non-conformist.

As I have said a long time ago, it is impossible for the scourge of the Moro League to target the Tang Dynasty.

Dong Quzhan was also a vicious man, and he did not give Bao Exin a chance to act as a monster, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Gungun princes.

No matter how she is born or married, there is only one Princess Yicheng in this world.

If the person you marry is capable and has a better character, he may not be able to play the piano as well as Princess Honghua.

However, everyone knows what kind of thing the Moro League is. When they encounter the Jisu tribe, which is more ferocious than them, it is normal to fight them three times a day.

You're a monster, I'm used to you!

Sure enough, the captain Sun Wuji waved his hands repeatedly: "Let someone go and inform Bao Pi."

It's a disgraceful thing, and it's only a matter of failure and sabotage that it has survived to this day.

In the Liangyi Hall, Emperor Yonghui pondered for a long time: "Don't the pastoral supervisors in Longyou of Taipu Temple have hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses?"

Servant Xiao Rui responded: "Your Majesty, they are cattle and horses!"

Among them, cattle, sheep, donkeys and mules accounted for the majority, and horses accounted for the smaller half.

Among the shepherds, the shepherds on the left are the thin horses, and the shepherds on the right are the rough horses.

Miscellaneous animals are in another prison, not the same as horses.

Cheng Yaojin, who was feeling a little sad, suddenly said: "If you go to war, the more you ride on the horse, the greater the challenge."

This is a drawback that only veterans know about. The ratio of overriders and cavalry has been maintained at close to [-]% because this is how the mobility of Datang's combat power can be maintained.

However, the demand for this pair of horses was quite high, and the imperial court had been gritting its teeth to supply them. Taizong had already accumulated a lot of internal funds.

Taipu Shaoqing Zhang Wansui's old face shone brightly: "If you want it, Honglu Qing, can you think of replenishing Taipusi Temple's horses?"

Fan Zheng smiled helplessly: "Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, the quality of the horses of the pastoral supervisors is still declining, right?"

Zhang Wansui stood up suddenly and shouted: "How do you know this?"

Taipu Temple has worked hard for many years, and the number of horses has increased, but the quality of the horses has deteriorated and they can't control it. They just pretend to be strong on the outside and frightened on the inside.

Fan Zheng gestured for Zhang Wansui to sit down.

　The quilt was too warm and I didn’t want to get up. It took me half an hour to get strong...
