People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1307 Loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Loyal to His Majesty

Late autumn in August, under the red mountains.

The white walls of the palace were deliberately painted black and gray.

The original residence of the prime minister in the inner city of the Tubo Palace has also become the residence of the marching general of Luoxedao of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuan was dressed in a black robe with gold silk and an eight-sided Han sword hanging on her waist. She walked out of the manager's house with a relaxed expression.

Looking at the stone wall in front of him that was covered with the "Yonghui Law", Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Wei Hongji who was standing on one side and said: "This thing will be everywhere in Luosu Road in the future." At the gate of the state and county.”

"Here!" Wei Hongji held his hands solemnly and was about to say something. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded.

Li Xuan and Wei Hongji looked back at the same time and saw Wang Dezhen and Yang Zhirou riding horses from not far away.

Turning over and dismounting, Wang Dezhen and Yang Zhirou solemnly raised their hands to Li Xuan and said, "I'll see you, Marshal."

Li Xuan smiled and returned the greeting: "Uncle, Brother Yang."

"The commander is still looking at the Yonghui Monument." Yang Zhirou's eyes fell on the Yonghui Monument behind Wei Hong's body.

Li Xuan nodded and said solemnly: "The Yonghui Law will become the symbol of the Tang Dynasty's governance of Tubo. Anyone or any government who does not act in accordance with the Yonghui Law can file a lawsuit with the General Manager of Luoxue Road, and everything will be punished according to the law."

"No wonder those people in Dali Temple said that the prince is a standard Legalist believer." Yang Zhirou looked at Li Xuan in amazement, cupped his hands and said: "I heard that he started from Wuzhou, went to Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Changzhou, and now he has arrived In Fanzhou, the prince still uses an eternal emblem to govern the people, which shows that this statement is true. "

The matter of the Yonghui Monument was Li Xuan's initiative when he was in Wuzhou. Later, whenever he took office, he would carve the Yonghui Monument in that place.

When people encounter something unknown, they only need to take a look at the Yonghui Monument to see it clearly.

This method was also used by many Dali Temple officials. They mobilized outsiders to govern the local area, and often used the Yonghui Monument as an important means of governance.

Many local officials often collude with local wealthy families to oppress the people. With this eternal emblem monument, they cannot do many things too arrogantly.

"If you know the written language, understand the laws, and register your household registration, you will be an official citizen of the Tang Dynasty. Being loyal to the laws means being loyal to the Tang Dynasty and to Your Majesty. Only in this way can Luozhe Dao be able to maintain long-term peace and stability." Li Xuan said and earnestly raised her hand in the direction of Chang'an Road.

Wang Dezhen suddenly became solemn, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is really thoughtful."

"Okay, let's not mention these things. Let's go in and talk about business." Li Xuan turned around and invited Wang Dezhen and Yang Zhirou to enter the General Manager's Mansion.

……

In the lobby, Wang Dezhen and Yang Zhirou were sitting on the left side, while Xiao Siye and Wei Hongji were sitting on the right side.

A thick yellow book was placed in front of Li Xuan, which was densely filled with all the seizures of the Tubo War in Luo Xuandao.

Luoche, Shigatse, and Linzhi, these three big cities, as well as a dozen other smaller cities in Nagqu, Shannan, and Chongsa were captured in various ways.

These include land, gold, silver, copper coins, jewelry, jade, horses and a series of other things, many of which have to be sent back to Chang'an.

After Li Xuan and the others captured Lu Shi and Chidu Songtsan and his son, they were sorting out these things if they didn't return to Chang'an immediately.

The Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money in the conquest of Tibet. Now that the war is over, these losses, as well as more seizures, will be sent back to Chang'an to make up for the gap.

Turning to a certain page, Li Xuan suddenly frowned.

"Uncle, no matter how many jewels, jades, or even large and small golden Buddhas and rare treasures you have, you can send them back to Chang'an, but these ready-made gold, silver and copper coins cannot."

Li Xuan gently pushed the yellow book forward, looked at Wang Dezhen and said: "Although the war is over, the rewards for the soldiers are far from being in place. All the gold and silver must be kept."

"Your Majesty, the court is currently lacking a lot. Next year, your majesty will also enshrine Songshan Mountain and transfer more gold and silver back, so that the court can feel more relaxed." Wang Dezhen was now speaking from the position of the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Uncle." Li Xuan said with a sincere expression: "Xuan knows that there is a shortage in the court, but in fact you and I both know that there is no shortage of gold and silver in the Tang Dynasty. Even if there is more gold and silver, it will be transported back to Chang'an from Luoche. , it just fell into the hands of those aristocratic families and wealthy families, and the court benefited little. However, if more rare treasures are transported back, and His Majesty and the Queen play with them a little more, they can sell them for a big price immediately, so that the Ministry of Household Affairs can relax tone."

Wang Dezhen frowned, but still refused to let go.

To transport gold and silver back, the household department can immediately get started with work, but to transport treasures back, there still needs to be a way to sell them.

"In addition, soldiers' rewards always require gold and silver. Even if they are transported back to Chang'an from Luoche this time, they will have to be transported from Chang'an again in the future. Not to mention other things, the transportation consumption alone will cost a lot. Why bother."

Li Xuan paused for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Not to mention, there will be Xiangxiong, Tianzhu and Nanzhao that need to be conquered in the future."

"You still want to conquer?" Yang Zhirou frowned tightly on one side.

Li Xuan smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Yang, the reason why our court conquered Tubo was, firstly, because Tubo posed a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, it was able to send troops from the southeast through Tubo to strengthen its control over the Western Regions. The third is Tianzhu, which also has a lot of wealth. As for Nanzhao, it is just a passing gift. "

"That's it." Yang Zhirou's expression relaxed and he looked at Wang Dezhen, who nodded imperceptibly.

Tubo does have a lot of wealth, but this wealth is still much inferior to that of the Western Regions.

After Dafeichuan, the Tubo threat to the Ganliang land in Longxi was one of them, but what really made Datang feel pain was their capture of the west town of Anxi and their influence on the Western Regions. This forced the entire Tang Dynasty to After Feichuan, everyone was united and thinking about revenge. "Let everything follow the commander-in-chief's wishes." Wang Dezhen stopped arguing. Li Xuan's words of consumption left him unable to refute.

If it were in other places, once the Ministry of Household Affairs got involved in post-war distribution, they would definitely not let go easily, but this is Tubo. If Li Xuan didn't approve, those things wouldn't even have a chance to be loaded into the truck, and the consumption would be nothing more than the last bit of dignity. That’s all.

"Uncle and the Duke are tired of all the household registration matters." Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Xiao Siye and Wang Dezhen.

"With these words from the prince, the hard work these days in lowering the official rank will not be in vain." Xiao Siye glanced at Wang Dezhen, then smiled and handed over to Li Xuan.

After the capture of Luoche, what Xiao Siye and Wang Dezhen’s people from the Hubu Department did most was to inspect the fields near Luoche, the capital of the Kingdom, and allocate these fields to the people who swore allegiance to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and successfully logged into the Tang Dynasty. People with registered residence.

From now on, these people are the people of the Tang Dynasty, no longer Tubo people.

There is no longer a country called Tubo in this world.

"Luoche did a good job, and the entire Luoche Road will follow suit in the future." Li Xuan looked at Xiao Siye and said: "I still said what I said, the entire Luoche Road and all the fields will be allocated to local slaves first. The common people and the nobles who originally owned the land will all stay behind unless they have made contributions to the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes!" Xiao Siye bowed solemnly. He knew in his heart that Li Xuan's words alone would make the entire logic bloody.

After Luoche was captured, those nobles whose city-states were captured by the Tang Dynasty would no longer enjoy any privileges.

Even after being caught, they were put on trial for their past crimes, with slaves and civilians exposing their crimes. In the end, large numbers of people were directly beheaded.

People were beheaded, and their wives and children were dispatched by the government.

With this move, the local slaves and civilians immediately broke completely with the former nobles and the former Tubo.

Xiao Siye had a feeling that as long as Li Xuan was allowed to govern Tubo for another three to five years, the vast majority of the people here would not remember the country of Tubo.

"Also, in the future, when recruiting local sergeants and officials in Luoxidao, we will try our best to give priority to common people with slave origins. Those from other noble families will be sent to Chang'an to take the Chang'an imperial examination." Li Xuan waved her hand slightly and made another decision. The next ironclad rule.

"According to Tang law, officials are not allowed to return to their places of residence to serve. Once these people leave Tubo, I am afraid they will never come back in the future." Wang Dezhen couldn't help but sigh.

He could see clearly that Li Xuan was trying to reduce the influence of these aristocratic families who were once loyal to Tubo in Tubo.

The rest are people who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Regardless of the specific governance level, this skill of healing the mind is enough to make a choice.

"The matter of Tubo still depends on how many states the Central Government will divide this place into." Li Xuan looked at Xiao Siye and Wei Hongji and said: "When His Majesty gave his speech at the beginning of the year, His Majesty once said that if Tubo can be captured, then The position of governor is indispensable for both the county prince and the young manor."

"Thank you so much, Marshal." Xiao Siye and Wei Hongji stood up at the same time and held their hands seriously.

Li Xuan waved her hand and said: "Your Majesty has a saying, you will stand up from where you fell. If you two become governors, you may be able to be transferred back to Chang'an."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with a smile: "After one term of office, perhaps I should be transferred back to Chang'an."

"Your Majesty is famous for his merits, and he must be waiting for an important position in the court." Wang Dezhen stood up, raised his hands and looked at Li Xuan seriously.

The test for Li Xuan will be where he will be transferred after leaving Tubo in the future.

"Those are things for the future." Li Xuan waved his hand and said: "What is important now is the governance of Tubo. The entire region has just been included in the Tang Dynasty. In the final analysis, the world will still be governed by military law. Therefore, in the future, all the big and small kingdoms will be governed by logic. In the prefecture, the generals of the army, Zhonglang, will also serve as governors, and other officials and county magistrates will be transferred from Chang'an to serve as governors.

Wang Dezhen fell silent. He knew that Li Xuan's words were meant for him.

After Wang Dezhen returns to Chang'an this time, he will be transferred to Huangmen Shilang, the third rank of Tongzhongshu sect. Even the people in the hall don't know much about this news.

But this does not include Li Xuan, who knows the transfers between the DPRK and the Central Government better than anyone else.

Once Wang Dezhen reaches the third rank of Zhongshu's sect, he is naturally qualified to discuss this matter.

Li Xuan smiled and then said: "The imperial court wants to recruit others to take over. If I am not humble, I still need to recruit some strong and strong people to come over."

Wang Dezhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "That's true."

The problem of plateau miasma is not that easy to overcome.

Li Xuan took a deep breath and said: "We will leave for Chang'an in three days. The logic will be left to the prince. As for the young master..."

"I'd better stay in Luozhe, so as not to be sad when I return to Chang'an." Wei Hongji shook his head.

Li Xuan nodded. Wei Hongji was not directly responsible for being demoted twice in a row, but when he encountered those things, he could only admit that he was unlucky.

"Commander!" Yang Zhirou suddenly spoke and asked, "How about the mother and son?"

　The system automatically updated for half an hour. I thought the computer was stuck, but fortunately it didn't move much, otherwise it would have burned the hard drive like last time.
