Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 222 Report on Zhang Liang
"I have decided to establish six prefectures and seven prefectures among the tribes of Uyghur, Pugu, Adi, and Bayegu. The Uighur tribe is Hanhai Mansion, the Tongluo tribe is Guilin Mansion, Duolange is Yanran Mansion... Husa is Gao Que Prefecture, Adi is Jitian Prefecture, Abusi is Bawlin Prefecture, and Baiyu is Zhiyan Prefecture."

"The government has a governor, and the prefecture has a governor. The chiefs of each tribe serve as the governor and governor. All the prefectures have a long history, and Sima has been appointed as the official leader." Li Er issued an edict.

The establishment of the state capital in these thirteen tribes was entirely decided by Li Er, and no one stood up to oppose it except for the ministers nodding their heads in agreement.

The names of these prefectural capitals are understood literally. Hanhai means the vast sea, and it also refers to the desert.

Guilin refers to a turtle-like forest or a turtle-like forest. In fact, Guilin Mansion is named after Gonglushui, not to say that there is a turtle-like forest in Tongluobu.

This is entirely due to the result of translation, the result of the difference in pronunciation between the two sides.

In fact, most of the prefectures and prefectures of Tie Leji in the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan and Yonghui years were named after the mountains and rivers where they were located.

Yanran Mansion is named after Yanran Mountain, Jinwei Mansion is taken from Jinwei Mountain, Hanhai Mansion is taken from Hangai Mountain, Hunhe Prefecture is taken from Hunhe River, Bawlin State is taken from Tamir River, Xian'e State is taken from Xianye river.

These six prefectures and seven states are all named after the mountains and waters where the tribal forces are located.

The detention system in the Tang and Song dynasties was relatively loose, except for the establishment of a governor's office above these state capitals to govern these state capitals.

In fact, the Duhu Mansion does not intervene in the internal affairs and military affairs of these Jimi prefectures, and the imperial court does not appoint officials to serve in these Jimi prefectures.

These Jimi prefectures can appoint officials on their own, but they just put on the cloak of the imperial court, which can be regarded as a kind of establishment outside the system of the Li and Tang Dynasties.

In fact, everything has not changed much from the original, just a different name and system.

In layman's terms, the Jimi state capital was named in the Li Tang Dynasty, and the Li Tang Dynasty recognized their legitimacy.

In addition to sending people to the Li and Tang Dynasty to present local specialties at the specified time every year, these Jimi prefectures do not have to pay taxes to the court.

There is actually a close relationship between these Jimi prefectures and the Li and Tang Dynasties.

Once the power of the Li and Tang Dynasties weakened and the ruling power weakened, some of the governors and governors of the Jimi Prefecture began to have other thoughts.

There are also a small number of Jimi prefectures who will have a trace of loyalty to the Li Tang Dynasty. Unless the Li Tang Dynasty perishes, these few Jimi prefectures will continue to maintain their original relationship with the Li Tang Dynasty.

The Jiji system later evolved into the chieftain system, from loose rule over various ethnic groups to strict control.

The chieftain system began to be implemented in the Yuan Dynasty. The chieftains of ethnic minorities were appointed as chieftains. Hereditary inheritance was allowed, but they must be loyal to the court and pay a certain amount of tribute to the court on schedule.

Whether it is the Jimi system or the later chieftain system, its essence is "ruling the native people with native officials".

The Central Plains Dynasty recognized the hereditary status of the leaders of the surrounding ethnic groups and gave them official titles, but the imperial edicts of the imperial court could not be implemented in practice.

There may even be armed fights or wars between tribes. At most, the court will send someone to be a peacemaker, or to warn that the court cannot intervene in their affairs.

"Do all my lovers still have this introductory note?" Li Er asked after finishing the edict on the establishment of state capitals and rewards for the thirteen tribes including Uighurs.

If no one stands up to make a difference, today's morning meeting will be over!
Li Chengqian came back to his senses, stood quietly, and waited for the other ministers to see if they had anything else that needed to be discussed in the morning.

"If there is something to do, we will leave the court!" Wang Yuan stepped forward and asked again to confirm. If no one has stepped forward, the meeting will be adjourned.

Just when Wang Yuan was about to announce his resignation, Yushi stood up and said, "I have a copy of the instructions!"

"What's the matter for Ai Qing?" Li Er asked, he was about to get up and leave, but Yu Shi jumped out at this moment.

"Show Your Majesty! Chang Dexuan from Shaanxi has reported that Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, has privately raised 500 fake sons who are brave and good at fighting, and intends to conspire with the sorcerers Gongsun Chang and Cheng Gongying." Yu Shi said.

As soon as the censor's words came out, no doubt a stone was thrown into the calm lake, which immediately caused waves.

"What? What did you say? Are you going to say any more?" Li Er was shocked when he heard this!
Li Chengqian was also taken aback, he didn't expect that Zhang Liang would also be rebellious, and Zhang Liang was one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

He was going to follow in the footsteps of Hou Junji. Zhang Liang was also one of the 24 heroes in Lingyan Pavilion who were killed for treason, and the other was Hou Junji.

"Zhang Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, intends to conspire against him," Yu Shi said.

Li Er suddenly stood up, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, he hated others' rebellion the most, especially the people he trusted the most.

Zhang Liang's rebellion has already touched Li Er's rebellion. Once the truth of Zhang Liang's rebellion is confirmed, Li Er will order Zhang Liang to be executed without hesitation.

"Your Majesty! I have been wronged! This is not someone else's false accusation, Your Majesty! You must make the decision for me!"

A gentle voice moved forward in the silent hall, Li Chengqian turned his head and knelt in the middle of the hall alone, this person was Zhang Liang.

"Wrong? Are you really wronged or fake wronged? You know best in your heart why Chang Dexuan from Shaanxi exposed you instead of others." His Majesty Li Er pointed at Zhang Liang angrily.

"I don't know, but I really haven't done such a rebellious thing, not to mention that I did it, but I never even thought about it. Please check it out, Your Majesty." Zhang Liang shouted.

"Father! Whether Zhang Liang, Minister of Criminal Justice, rebelled against you, you can't listen to other people's one-sided words, you should investigate in detail." Li Chengqian came out and saluted.

"The crown prince is right. You can't punish Zhang Liang just because one person denounced the crime. This matter needs to be investigated carefully." Li Er said.

"Father! My son is willing to thoroughly investigate this matter, and I hope that the father will grant permission!" Li Chengqian took the initiative to ask Ying to hear the case.

"As the crown prince, you should be more concerned about the country's major affairs for me. I think it is safer to leave it to the court ministers to handle the case trial." Li Er said.

Since returning from the expedition, His Majesty Li Er's health is not as good as before, especially his headache is showing signs of attack.

Now he will slowly hand over the power to Li Chengqian, and the prince will slowly control the power of the entire country. After a while, he will also hand over the right to appoint and dismiss officials below the fourth rank to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian began to hear lawsuits at the age of 12, and began to supervise the country at the age of 14. It has been more than ten years now, and Li Er has been cultivating Li Chengqian's political ability.

Li Chengqian's performance also made the ministers full of praise. It can be said that he tried to judge state affairs on behalf of his father, and was praised by the world.

With more than ten years of experience in politics, Li Er is not worried about any troubles, let alone that the prince will not be able to control the situation.
