Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 281: 23 Years of Zhenguan
On the first day of the first lunar month in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, after the end of the Great Court Assembly, the envoys from various localities returned to various places after reporting to the imperial court.

In the early morning of the sixth day, Li Er looked full of energy and even smiled. It is said that his body was better than before because of taking the elixir.

"If there is something to do, go to the court if there is nothing to do!" Wang Yuan repeated his daily work.

"Qizou Your Majesty! Commander of the Kunqiu Road Marching Army, General of the Right Guard Ashinasheer, and General of the Right Guard Qibi Heli conquered the Kingdom of Kucha and returned to Beijing. Li, defeated the reinforcements of the Western Turks." A minister who could not be named came out and said.

"Where are Ashinasheer, Qibi Heli, Helibu Shibi, Nali and others now?" Li Er asked.

"Waiting for His Majesty's call outside the hall." Wang Yuan replied.

"Xuan Ashinasheer and Qibi Heli have an audience!" Li Er said.

"Xuanyouwei General Ashinasheer, Zuoxiaowei General Qibi Heli have an audience!" Wang Yuanchao shouted outside the hall.

Hearing the shouts from the hall, Ashinasheer and Qibi Heli straightened their clothes immediately, and then walked in with jade wats in their hands.

"My minister, Ashinasheer, and Qibi Heli, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Ashinasheer saluted immediately when he saw Li Er.

"Exemption!" Li Er said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ashinasheer and the two got up and said.

"This time you defeated Kucha and severely damaged Western Turks, I will reward you well."

"Let's get started!" Li Er told Ashinasheer and the two of them, and at the same time ordered Wang Yuan to read out the rewards for them.

"General Ashinasheer of the Right Guard, and Qibi Heli, General of the Zuo Xiaowei, are rewarded for their meritorious service in conquering Kucha..." Wang Yuan read out a bunch of rewards.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!" Ashinasheer and the two hurriedly expressed their thanks!

"Bring in Kucha King Helibu Shibi and his Prime Minister." Li Er said.

"No!" Qibi Heli took the order, turned around and left the hall, and brought King Qiuci and others who were under custody outside the hall into the hall.

Qibi Heli made King Qiuci and others kneel on the main hall, waiting for Li Er's punishment. If he dared not pay tribute to Datang and punish him well, what is the majesty of Datang?

Li Er reprimanded the King of Kucha, Helibu Shibi and others, spitting all over the place.

"Your Majesty! How should King Kucha and his subjects be dealt with?" asked an unknown minister.

"Let them all go!" Li Er said.

"Let go? This?" The ministers didn't understand Li Er's intention.

"My Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. How could I insult the kings of small countries? They have already received their due punishment. Could it be that I am so stingy that I want to execute them?"

"He Libu Shibi is still the king of a country, and he will stay in Chang'an in the future. I canonize you as Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang General." Li Er said.

"Thank God Khan!" Khalibu Shibi and the others saluted.

For them now, being able to save their lives is already a great gift, and they dare not have other unreasonable thoughts.

For Khalibu Shibi, life is really full of ups and downs. He was still a prisoner a second ago, and he didn't know what was waiting for him.

But in the next second, he unexpectedly became the general of the Tang Dynasty, and his life was really full of drama.

Li Er ordered people to take Kucha King Helibu Shibi and others down.

"Report to Your Majesty! Tu Mozhi and other barbarians in the southwestern region are willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, do you accept their surrender?" Changsun Wuji came out to salute.

Tumoji is part of one of the 37 tribes of Nanzhao, scattered in the central part of Yunnan Chuxiong to the central part of Yunnan.

"Naturally, you have to accept it. Send envoys to confer official positions on them, and set up the four prefectures of Pang, Wang, Lan, and Qiu under their jurisdiction, which belong to the Governor's Mansion of Langzhou. As for the candidates, you should choose a suitable one from Zhongshu Province." Li Er laughed.

How could Li Er let go of such a good thing? This is equivalent to expanding his power again. For Li Er, this is a great achievement.

"Promise!" Changsun Wuji replied, the choice of candidates is not a problem.

"Your Majesty! The Turkic Khan Chebi Khan claimed to be sick and did not want to come to Chang'an to pay homage to His Majesty! How should we deal with this matter?" Changsun Wuji retreated, and the official of the Ministry of Rites asked.

The Tang Dynasty asked Chebi Khan to come to Chang'an to meet Li Er, just to test whether he was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, or whether he was obedient and obedient.

Chebi Khan was worried that he would be under house arrest when he arrived in Chang'an. From then on, he would never be able to return to Mobei, and he would lose all his rights.

Chebi Khan naturally didn't want to see such a result, so he found reasons not to come to Chang'an.

"Turkic Chebi Khan's wolf ambition can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. If he ignores it, he will become a confidant of the Tang Dynasty in the future." A minister said.

"It was ordered that You Xiaowei Zhonglang will conscript Gao Kan and send soldiers and horses such as Huihe and Pugu to attack the Turks." Li Er said.

Anyone or anything that threatened Datang, Li Er would mercilessly eliminate them all.

After the minister told Li Ershang some more things, he withdrew from the court, and everyone left the Tai Chi Hall.

After You Xiaowei Zhonglang General Gao Kan received the order, he immediately set off to Mobei to send troops such as Huihe and Pugu to attack the Turks.

Gao Kan's army had just arrived in Turkic territory, and the various Turkic tribes who heard the news came to surrender one after another.

After all, the Tang army is powerful, and there is only one way to die if you go head-to-head with them, and no one is a fool, so Gao Kan surrendered the Turks without abandoning a single soldier when he arrived.

Among them, Fei Luocha, the leader of Baximi, was the first to surrender to Datang. The Tang court was very happy when he learned about it. Li Er even issued an edict to set up Xinli Prefecture in its original place, and appointed Fei Luocha as the governor.

In February, Li Er issued an edict to set up the Yaochi Dudu Mansion at the location of the Western Turkic Tribe in the Tang Dynasty, which was subordinate to Anxi Duhu; and appointed the left guard general Ashina Helu as the Yaochi Dudu.

Li Er set up the Yaochi Dudufu for the purpose of monitoring and balancing the Turks under Chebi Khan.

Li Er's decision planted the root of disaster for Ashina Helu's rebellion against Tang in the future. Fortunately, Ashina Helu's strength was really not good, and he was finally eliminated by Datang.

On March [-]th, the Tang Dynasty established Fengzhou Governor's Mansion, and Li Suli, the governor of Yanran, concurrently served as the governor.

On the [-]th, there was a severe drought last winter, and it was only now that it rained for the first time. The imperial court, which was worried that it would affect grain cultivation, was relieved.

Recently, Li Er's health started to get worse and worse. On the 23rd of this month, Li Er struggled to support his sick body and went outside the Xiandao Gate, declaring amnesty to the world.

At the same time, Li Er also ordered Prince Li Chengqian to listen to the government at Jinyemen.

In April, Li Er's body couldn't take it anymore, and Chang'an was really not suitable for Li Er to rest now, so he took Li Zhi and Princess Gaoyang to Cuiwei Palace to recuperate.

Li Er went to Cuiwei Palace to recuperate, and the prince Li Chengqian took care of all the major affairs in the court, this time Li Er was afraid that something bad would happen.
