Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 221

"I just don't know how His Majesty will deal with these tribes. They are former ministers of Xue Yantuo Khanate." Zhao Jie said.

"Since they have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, it is natural to give them some rewards as before, and let the chiefs manage their own tribes." Du He said.

Well said Doo!This is the Jumi system, which relies on rewarding the leaders of the tribes and letting them manage their own tribes for the court.

"Isn't Your Majesty afraid that they will rebel against the Tang Dynasty again? Xue Yantuo rebelled many times back then. If it weren't for His Highness, Xue Yantuo might not necessarily perish."

"If these tribes have the same virtues as Xue Yantuo, and after taking the benefits, they have two hearts, and it is inevitable that there will be a second Xue Yantuo." Zhao Jie said.

"So what about rebellion? Is my Tang Dynasty afraid that these tribes will fail? As long as they dare to rebel, my Tang Dynasty will send troops to suppress them." Li Chengqian said.

At this time, Mobei was no longer under the rule of the Xue Yantuo Khanate, and many of these tribes were loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

As long as there are people in Mobei who have ulterior motives, and as long as there is an order, these tribes loyal to Datang will solve such problems for Datang.

Furthermore, didn't the Tang Dynasty still have the Anxi Protectorate, with them, even if someone wanted to rebel, nothing would happen.

In this world, nothing can be perfect.

"What Your Highness said is true! We can also establish a Protectorate in Mobei to manage these tribes." Du He said.

This time these tribes surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Er set up five prefectures and seven prefectures in Mobei to manage these tribes.

"Your Majesty has his own opinion on this matter. I think His Majesty will announce the disposal of these tribes tomorrow morning." Li Chengqian said.

Du He and the others didn't discuss this much, anyway, it's not their turn to make decisions on these matters.

That's all the business of the court ministers and His Majesty the emperor, and it's not their turn to talk about it.

After the three chatted for a while, Du He and Zhao Jie got up and left.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengqian and the ministers of the court were waiting in the Taiji Hall early in the morning. Following Wang Yuan's voice, "Your Majesty is here!"

The morning meeting of the Tang Empire has officially begun!

First, a few officials reported some major national events, and Li Er discussed with the ministers in the court, and then came up with a feasible plan.

"Qi Zou Your Majesty! The envoys of Uighur, Pu Gu, Tong Luo, Ba Ye Gu, and A Dian have arrived in Chang'an, and they request to meet with Your Majesty!" The officials in charge of receiving the envoys went out to report.

"Now that Xue Yantuo is gone, Uyghur and other tribes have sincerely attached to our Tang Dynasty. In the past, there was the Xueyantuo Khanate in Mobei."

"Our Great Tang's control over Mobei is limited, and Xue Yantuo has violated our Great Tang border many times. Now all the tribes sincerely belong to the Great Tang."

"I have decided to set up the Yanran Capital Protectorate in the former site of the Xueyantuo Khanate to govern these tribes. What do you think?" Li Er said, looking at the ministers.

"I think your Majesty's move is very appropriate, and the establishment of the Protectorate in Mobei will help our Tang Dynasty control the Western Regions." Changsun Wuji said.

"Eldest grandson Situ's words are justified! The ministers and others seconded the proposal!" Fang Xuanling said.

"My minister agrees!"

"The ministers seconded the proposal!..." The ministers seconded the proposal one after another. After all, this has always been the method used by the Tang Dynasty to manage ethnic minorities.

"Your Majesty! It's just that I don't know who should be appointed to take up the post of Chief Protector?" Fang Xuanling asked.

When the Tang Dynasty set up prefectures and prefectures in these places, the chiefs of various tribes served as the governors and governors, but the governors and governors who managed these prefectures and prefectures had to be appointed separately by the imperial court.

If they were all managed by the people of these tribes, the imperial court might not be able to rest assured. They might also take advantage of the benefits given by the imperial court, take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger, and then offend the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the Central Plains dynasty would set up the Protectorate in these areas, and then send people to govern them.

Duhufu is a military agency set up by the Central Plains Dynasty to inspect the border ethnic groups in the Han and Tang dynasties.

In Chinese, Duhu means all. Hu is the guardian of the troops, and Duhu means the general guardian.

Popularly, it can be understood as leading troops to monitor the movements of various ethnic groups and strengthening the imperial court's management of these ethnic groups.

The main duty of the Duhu is to "comfort the vassals and bring peace to the foreign bandits", and all matters of "comfort, conquest, meritorious service, and punishment" to the surrounding ethnic groups are under the jurisdiction of the Duhufu.

The emergence of the Duhufu was an objective need for the development of the relationship between the Central Plains Dynasty and the ethnic minorities in the border areas in the early Tang Dynasty.

The ministers in the court were arguing and arguing a lot, and their faces were red because they were arguing about the position of the governor of the governor's office.

Everyone feels that the candidates they recommend are suitable, while those recommended by others are not as suitable as those recommended by themselves.

In this short period of time, there were no less than 20 people on the list of candidates for the guardianship.

This also proves that Datang is really full of talents, and these recommended people are not ordinary people.

"Enough! There's so much noise in the hall, what a shame!" Li Er yelled angrily.

All the ministers immediately shut up and knelt quietly in their seats.

"Prince! Who do you think should take up the position of Yan Ran's Protector General?" Li Er looked at Li Chengqian and threw the question to Li Chengqian.

The eyes of all the ministers were focused on Li Chengqian, especially the minister who had just quarreled with each other. They all hoped that the person they recommended could be the protector.

Li Er's question stumped Li Chengqian!Fortunately, he has the knowledge in the history books of later generations in his mind.

That records the Yanran Protectorate, which is the name of the previous protectors of the Anbei Protectorate. The Yanran Protectorate is the predecessor of the Anbei Protectorate, but it was renamed many times later, and finally changed to the Anbei Protectorate.

Li Chengqian carefully thought about who was the first governor of the Governor's Mansion recorded in the history books.

With a flash in front of his eyes, a name appeared in his mind, Li Suli was the No.1 Protector of Yan Ran.

"Father! My son recommended Li Suli, Sima of Yangzhou Dudu Mansion, as Yanran Dufu's Protector." Li Chengqian said.

"The crown prince recommended Li Sujie, what do you think?" Li Er did not directly agree with Li Chengqian's recommendation, but asked the minister instead.

The ministers started a new round of intense discussions, analyzing Li Suli's background, ability, and past.

Some ministers would ask the prince about certain matters from time to time, but the prince would answer casually and perfunctorily.

To be honest, Li Chengqian didn't know much about Li Suli at all, he only knew that he was the first protector of the Yanran Protectorate, and he was not bad during his tenure.

He didn't know anything else, and he had no other choice but to perfunctory the past.

"Okay! Since he is recommended by the crown prince, let Li Suli be the protector of Yanran's protectorate! That way there is no need to discuss this matter."

In the end, it was Li Er who made the final decision on this matter, and Li Suli also changed from a Sima of the governor's mansion to a governor.
