Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 301

"Now that the Turkic ministries have surrendered to our Tang Dynasty, in order to better handle the Turkic relationship, I have decided to set up five Juli prefectures in the Turkic ministries, including Sheli, to be managed by the Yunzhong Governor's Mansion."

"In addition, Sunong and other six prefectures will be established, which will be managed by Dingxiang Dudufu. I wonder if you have any objections?" Li Chengqian looked at the ministers in front of him and said.

"I don't have any opinion!" The first person to express his opinion was Li Ji, who was newly promoted to Shangshu Zuo Pushe.

Since he was demoted to Diezhou by Li Er, he was transferred back to Chang'an by Li Chengqian in a short period of time, and even promoted to prime minister.

From the day he was demoted, Li Ji had already understood the thoughts of Li Er and his son. Whether he could hold a high position for the rest of his life depended on whether he was in the same boat as the emperor.

If he, Li Ji, jumped off the emperor's boat, then he could only die, and even if he joined Changsun Wuji's family, it would not change his fate.

Therefore, as long as Li Chengqian made a proposal, he would basically support it unconditionally, and even execute his orders without reservation.

Even if he was asked to kill Changsun Wuji, he would do it without hesitation. The emperor was Li Ji's biggest backer and talisman.

And he, Li Ji, is the sharp sword in the emperor's hands and the most loyal fighter.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied with Li Ji's statement. No wonder the late emperor said before his death that he could be made a confidant.

From Li Ji's relegation to his recall, the two of them were tied to the same chariot. Li Chengqian needed a smart person like Li Ji who knew how to advance and retreat to work for him.

Li Ji needs to rely on the emperor to seek greater benefits for himself and his family.

"What about you? Do you have any objections to my actions?" Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji and the others and asked.

With Li Ji's support, and the fact that the few remaining people belonged to Li Chengqian, even if Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang objected, it would be useless.

As for asking them if they have any opinions, it is just out of politeness. Anyway, Changsun Wuji and others are veteran ministers, so the respect that should be given should still be given.

"The veteran has no objection!" Before Li Chengqian's people could speak, Changsun Wuji spoke first.

"Veteran second!" Chu Suiliang followed closely behind.

"Successor!" The rest of the eldest grandson Wuji also echoed.

"Seniors and others!" People from the emperor's family also echoed.

"Since you all have no objection to this, let's make this decision! Issue an edict as soon as possible to implement it." Li Chengqian said.

"By the way, I plan to appoint Tubo Zanpu Qizong Nongzan as the captain-in-law and the king of Xihai County, so as to enhance the relationship between Tubo and Tang Dynasty. What do you think?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. Tubo and Datang are in-laws, and the relationship between the two countries will be enhanced. It will be beneficial to both Tubo and Tang Dynasty. The old minister agrees with your majesty's proposal." Changsun Wuji One expressed his opinion.

Now Tubo and Datang are in the honeymoon period, and the relationship between the two parties is very harmonious. After all, Songtsan Gampo is the son-in-law of the Datang royal family, and the two parties have a relationship by marriage, so the relationship between them is naturally better than other people.

Changsun Wuji naturally agrees that the relationship between Tubo and Datang can be improved. In this way, Datang will not have to worry about the safety of the southwestern border.

After all, with such a powerful "relative" in the southwest border and Tuyuhun, Changsun Wuji really couldn't think of anyone else who could threaten the southwest border of Datang.

More importantly, the better the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, the more beneficial it would be to the Tang Dynasty, and it would be possible to borrow troops from Tubo when necessary.

Datang can save a single soldier without wasting a single soldier, and can save money, which is a good deal no matter what.

Therefore, when Li Chengqian proposed to make Songtsen Gampo king, he naturally agreed with it very much.

It's just that Changsun Wuji didn't know that Tubo, which he thought was safe, turned out to be a threat to Datang in the end.

"The old minister seconded the proposal!" Chu Suiliang also agreed, his thinking was the same as that of Changsun Wuji.

This is not only the idea of ​​the two of them, but also the mainstream thought of their department, so the few remaining people also agree with this proposal.

"Seniors and others!" Changsun Wuji and other officials immediately stated their position.

"My minister agrees!"

Li Ji, Pei Xingjian and the others did not express their opinions immediately, but Li Jingxuan was the first to express their opinions after Changsun Wuji and the others.

Since Li Ji was the emperor's confidant, it was impossible for the emperor to just nod or shake his head when he spoke.

He must also always advise the emperor, take the emperor's central idea as his own central idea, and everything is based on the emperor's interests.

Li Ji thought about it again and again, and he really didn't think there was anything wrong with this proposal. On the contrary, after the relationship between the two parties deepened, the benefits it brought were obvious.

So Li Ji also expressed his opinion: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Pei Xingjian and others also felt that it was feasible, and followed suit: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal!"

In this way, Li Chengqian's two proposals have been unanimously approved and can be carried out unimpeded.

"Then issue an edict together, and handle the two things together!" Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Everyone responded.

"By the way, since the death of the first emperor, I abolished the expedition to Goguryeo and stopped civil engineering. Have the teachers in Goguryeo been transferred back?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Not yet, the old minister is just about to ask His Majesty about this matter." Changsun Wuji said.

"What is the Taiwei asking for?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The veteran thinks that now that Goguryeo sent envoys to surrender to the Tang Dynasty again, it would be better to call back the partisans who fought in Goguryeo." Changsun Wuji said.

If the division is on an expedition, it is necessary to supplement him with food and grass so that they can continue to fight in Goguryeo.

But even with the assistance of Silla and Baekje, Datang still needs to deliver a large amount of supplies to the frontline soldiers, which are all money!

After a long time, Changsun Wuji worried that Datang would not be able to afford such a large consumption.

According to Changsun Wuji's idea, it is to transfer the partial teachers of Datang back, and let Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla go dog-eat-dog.

"No! Although Goguryeo proclaimed their vassals, their wolfish ambitions still exist. Once they regain their vitality, they will make a comeback. All previous efforts will be in vain."

"Therefore, partial teachers cannot be withdrawn. They should continue to be nailed to the vital points of Goguryeo." Li Chengqian objected.

If you want to destroy Goguryeo, you must consume a lot of Goguryeo's strength, so that Datang can concentrate its superior forces and destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop.

Only in this way can we prevent the resurgence of Goguryeo and always want to harass the border of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, Liaodong has been the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times.

"But Your Majesty! The army is going abroad, and the annual consumption is also a huge amount. I worry that the treasury of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to support it after a long time. Please think twice about this matter." Chu Suiliang said.
