Ji Tang

Chapter 612 Ten Years of Zhenguan

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, after many petitions from important ministers headed by Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin agreed to take charge of the government in person again, and our tool man Li Chengqian returned to Furong Garden to study books again.

As if managing politics during this period was just a part-time job, he said goodbye to Li Shimin that day and seemed very happy, making that position a scourge.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the emperor began to personally manage the affairs of the state.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, after deliberation, in order to appease the Turks, Ashina Sheer, the Turkic Tushou, was appointed as the general of Zuo Xiaowei.

Tuoshen Ashinasheer was the son of Chuluo Khan. He was known for his resourcefulness when he was only 11 years old.Chuluo Khan appointed She'er as Tuoshe; he built Yazhang in Mobei, and Yugushe took charge of the various tribes in Chile respectively.

He has been an official for ten years and has never collected taxes.Some of the people despised him for not being able to achieve wealth. Sheer said: "I will be satisfied if my tribe is rich."

Everyone was ashamed and convinced. When Xue Yantuo rebelled and defeated Yugushe, Sheer was also defeated and led the rest of the people to flee to the west.

After the death of Jieli Khan, chaos also broke out in the Western Turks, and the Duo Khan brothers fought for the throne.

Sheer pretended to surrender, led his troops to defeat the Western Turks, occupied half of their land, supported more than [-] troops, and called himself Dabu Khan.

She'er said to the tribes: "Xue Yantuo was the first to cause chaos in our country. I should avenge the former Khan and destroy them."

Each tribe dissuaded them: "We have just obtained a piece of land in the west, so we should stabilize our position for the time being. Now that we suddenly abandon this piece of land to attack Xue Yantuo, the Western Turks will definitely come to take over their old land."

She'er ignored the meeting and attacked Xue Yantuo's tribe in Mobei. The battle lasted for more than 100 days.

When Lishui Khan came to the throne, Sheer's subordinates had suffered from war for a long time, and many of them left Sheer and went to Lishui.

Xue Yantuo launched an attack, and She'er was defeated. He fled to Gaochang, where he recovered the remaining troops of more than 1 people. He was also afraid of the Western Turks' advance, so he led his troops to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

After learning about it, Li Shimin ordered his tribe to be resettled in the north of Lingzhou, leaving She'er in Chang'an, marrying the emperor's sister, Princess Nanyang, and leading the troops in the imperial garden.

The Tang Dynasty may be due to Li Shimin's personality charm, or it may be that he was convinced by the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, after the Tang Dynasty became an official, these foreign courts rarely surrendered and were re-sentenced. Sometimes they were more loyal than most people. many.

On the 22nd, I don’t know what Li Shimin was thinking, and he wanted to confer royal titles on all the kings.

The king of Zhao Li Yuanjing was renamed King of Jing, the king of Lu Li Yuanchang was the king of Han, the king of Zheng Li Yuanli was the king of Xu, the king of Xu Li Yuanjia was the king of Han, the king of Jing Li Yuanze was the king of Peng, the king of Teng Li Yuanyi was the king of Zheng, and the king of Wu Li Yuangui was the king of Huo. King Bin Li Yuanfeng is the King of Guo, King Chen Li Yuanqing is the King of Dao, King Li Lingkui of Wei is the King of Yan, King Li Ke of Shu is the King of Wu, King Li Tai of Yue is the King of Wei, King Li of Yan is the King of Qi, King Li of Liang is the King of Shu, and King Tan Li Yun is the King of Jiang King Li Zhen, the king of Han, was the king of Yue, and Li Shen, the king of Shen, was the king of Ji.

Except for King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Ke of Wu, who said that they had not completed their studies and were willing to hand over the fiefdom to the imperial court to manage it on their behalf, the others chose a day to go to the fiefdom.

In fact, each king's fiefdom had its own size, but basically they had no rights. Li Shimin's trip was more to suppress powerful local families.

As long as the royal family members are in the place, the powerful families do not dare to go too far, and they can be regarded as having a certain monitoring effect.

But history proves that this trip was just wishful thinking of the emperor.

It's okay to have Li Shimin suppressing them, and no one dares to do anything. But once Li Shimin leaves, it's strange that these people can keep their peace, causing harm to the place and taking advantage of others.

Coupled with the connivance of the powerful family and even the convenience of opening the door for him, good things will lead to disaster sooner or later.

But at this time, no matter what, there is a certain positive meaning in it, but no one knows how much it is.

In February, Yuanjing was appointed the governor of Jingzhou, Yuanchang was the governor of Liangzhou, Yuanli was the governor of Xuzhou, Yuanjia was the governor of Luzhou, Yuan Ze was the governor of Suizhou, Lingkui was the governor of Youzhou, and Ke was the governor of Tanzhou. Tai was the governor of Xiangzhou, the governor of Qizhou, the governor of Yizhou, Yun was the governor of Anzhou, and Zhen was the governor of Yangzhou.As an official in Taibu, Zhang Liang, the official of Jinziguanglu, acted as the governor of the capital.The superior said that Tai was good at literature and received the scholar-bureaucrats with courtesy. He specially ordered a literary museum to be set up in his residence and allowed him to invite bachelors.

On the seventh day of March, King Nuohebo of Tuyuhun sent envoys to request the promulgation of the calendar and the year name, and sent royal children to the Tang Dynasty to serve Tian Khan, and Li Shimin obeyed.

On the [-]th, Nuohebo was canonized as the king of Heyuan County, and Qindou Khan was also elected in Wudi.

On the 23rd, the princes went to various states, and Li Shimin said goodbye to them: "Based on our brotherhood, don't we want to get along often? It's just that the world is the most important thing, so we have to do this. If you don't have a son, you can have another, but you can't have a brother again." have to."

The kings wept bitterly and could not help themselves.

In the summer, on June [-]th, Wen Yanbo was appointed as Shangshu Youpu She, and Yang Shidao, the minister of Taichang Temple, was appointed as minister.

The servant Wei Zheng repeatedly requested to be appointed as a casual official due to his eye disease. Li Shimin had no choice but to appoint him as a special official, but still let him know the affairs of the family.

He participated in the discussion of gains and losses in all court memorials and state ceremonies. He reviewed and reported all crimes and punishments including exile and imprisonment; his salary, staff, and other preferential treatment were the same as those of civil servants.

At that time, the emperor's authority was becoming more and more powerful. Wei Zheng claimed that he was ill and that the emperor had made mistakes, but he did not dare to speak out.

Fortunately, the queen's eldest grandson often gave advice and impressed all the ministers.

The historian said: Empress Changsun was benevolent, righteous and filial, lived a frugal life, and liked reading. She often talked casually about history with Taizong, took the opportunity to advise others and put forward many useful opinions.

Once the emperor was angry at the palace maid for no reason, and the queen also pretended to be angry and asked for personal interrogation, so she ordered the palace maid to be tied up. After Taizong calmed down, she slowly defended her. From then on, there was no unnecessary punishment in the palace.

Princess Yuzhang lost her mother in her early years, and the queen adopted her, and she was more loving than her own child.If any concubine or concubine has a disease, the queen will visit her personally and provide her with medicine and food. Everyone in the palace loves the queen.

When disciplining several sons, modesty and thrift are often the main topic.

The prince's wet nurse, Mrs. Sui'an, once told the queen that the utensils and utensils in the East Palace were relatively few, and asked the queen to ask the emperor to add more.

The queen refused and said, "As a prince, what worries me is that he has no moral character and a poor reputation. Why worry about not having utensils and utensils?"

All these things made the courtiers respect their eldest grandson, but Ji Song didn't take it seriously.

"The two best actors are acting again. Tsk tsk. If this happens in future generations, an Oscar will definitely be indispensable."

But Ji Song still misjudged the impact of Changsun's move on the Tang Dynasty. In this era where the king is the leader and the minister is the guide, it is only natural for the people below to follow suit.

Even Youning followed the Queen's example and not only reduced his daily expenses, but also the cost of kittens.

He didn't dare to say it yet, but he got angry when he said it. He also said that he would send a letter to ask the queen's adoptive mother for her opinion and see if she did the right thing.

Crazy, this bitch is crazy.

Ji Song had no choice now. If Changsun found out that he was trying to dismantle her, he would definitely suffer no good consequences.

Okay, why don't you hide if you can't offend me?

Therefore, the father and daughter could only secretly find a place to have a big meal when the crazy woman was not around.
