Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 312

"So that's the case, I understand what to do!" Cheng Wu said straightly, he despised Tuyuhun's soft bones from the bottom of his heart.

A little kindness will make them lose their integrity. No wonder they will never become a powerful country like Tubo or Turkic. Even the Uighur tribe is stronger than them.

Cheng Wuting even wanted to encourage the emperor to send troops to destroy Tuyuhun directly, so as not to have to borrow space from others.

It is better for the Tang Dynasty to annex Tuyuhun than to make Tubo cheaper and be included in the territory of Tubo, which is better than being annexed by Tubo.

What should be said, he has already made it clear to Cheng Wuting that someone from Tuyuhun will go back to negotiate, and when Cheng Wuting arrives in Lingzhou to select suitable candidates, the Tuyuhun side may have already done it.

"This is an edict for you. Governor Xi Junmai of Lingzhou will try his best to cooperate with you. You two will be taken care of at the border."

"Wherever you are, you'd better find a way to build your own granary and store food for emergencies. If the Central Plains can't deliver food and grass, you can still solve the food yourself." Li Chengqian said.

It is not feasible to garrison troops on the plateau for a long time to rely on the rear to transport food and grass. They can only cultivate there by themselves and plant food that can grow on the plateau.

"No! The minister will resign!" Cheng Wuting took the imperial edict from Wang Quan, saluted and withdrew.

If you want to fight against or even eliminate Tubo, it is not enough to rely on Xi Junmai and Cheng Wuting alone, you also need a strong future to sit in charge.

This can't help but remind Li Chengqian of a person, this person is the black-toothed Changzhi of Baekje, and he is the nemesis of the Tubo people.

If he was there, it would be much easier to deal with Tubo.

Li Chengqian planned to set up the Heyuan Army in Shancheng County, temporarily under the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion, with a staff of 2 and [-] horses.

After Hei Chi Chang Zhi arrived, he handed over the Heyuan Army to him, and he commanded the entire Heyuan Army, and only obeyed the emperor.

But now, Heizhi Changzhi is still in Baekje. If the normal trajectory is used, the war between Datang and Baekje will take several years until Heizhi Changzhi is finally captured and surrendered.

Li Chengqian didn't have time and didn't bother to wait for such a long time, lest the day lily would be cold by then.

Now that Baekje is still a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, he can completely send the black-toothed Changzhi to Chang'an under the order of an emperor of the suzerain country.

I believe that Baekje will not reject the suzerain's request because of a general they don't want to see, and they will definitely send the black-toothed Changzhi to Chang'an and to Li Chengqian.

In this way, he can surrender Heizhi Changzhi in advance and use it for him, and eventually become the mainstay against Tubo.

As soon as he thought of it, Li Chengqian couldn't wait to issue an order to Baekje to send him the black tooth Changzhi to Chang'an.

But Li Chengqian did not expect that the imperial edict he issued to Baekje was rejected by his disciples, and Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang even came to Li Chengqian in person to ask for an explanation.

After Li Chengqian's domination and deception, coupled with coercion and temptation, Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang had no choice but to agree to Li Chengqian's edict to Baekje.

After the final review by the Menxia Province, and the names of officials from the Menxia, ​​Zhongshu and Shangshu provinces were signed, Li Chengqian signed and stamped it, and sealed it with the Emperor's Seal.

The main grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang also felt that there was no problem, but it was because the emperor was still young and curious about some rumors.

After he met the people and felt that there was no difference, he would be released back to Baekje, as if the Tang court invited the people of Baekje to go sightseeing.

"To everyone, Zong Zhengqing and Minister of the Ministry of Officials just sent me a memorial about the new marriage of Princess Xincheng." Wang Quan said.

Zong Zhengqing is the chief of Zongzheng Temple, responsible for managing royal affairs.

"What's wrong with Princess Xincheng? There's something wrong with her marriage. The late Emperor personally bestowed her on Wei Shuyu, the son of Wei Zheng. Maybe something went wrong."

"I remember that the imperial sister married to the Wei family in February of the 23rd year of Zhenguan last year." Li Chengqian asked.

In history, Li Chengqian's rebellion failed. Since Hou Junji was the candidate recommended by Wei Zheng to Li Er, Li Er believed that Wei Zheng was also an accomplice of the prince's party, so in grief and indignation, he pushed Wei Zheng's tombstone.

He even canceled the marriage between Princess Xincheng and Wei Shuyu, and re-betrothed Princess Xincheng to Changsun Wuji's cousin, Changsun Quan.

Wei Shuyu in history had to get another one.

But now that Li Chengqian has traveled over and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Shuyu can become the son-in-law again.

"To tell you the truth, the princess's marriage was indeed planned in February of the 23rd year of Zhenguan. It just happened to coincide with the death of the late emperor, so the marriage was put on hold!"

"The intention of Zong Zhengqing and the Minister of Rites is to marry the princess and Wei Shuyu this fall," Wang Quan said.

For the princess to marry the minister's son, all the etiquette and various preparations will take several months. After all, this is related to the face of the royal family.

How can a princess be so shabby when she gets married? There must be a lot of dowry, but they just happened to catch up with Li Er's death, so their marriage had to be canceled temporarily.

"Zong Zhengqing and Minister of Rites mean to let the marriage between Princess Xincheng and Wei Shuyu continue, is this in compliance with the rules?" Li Chengqian asked.

"This slave doesn't know either, why don't I call Zong Zhengqing and the Minister of Rites to ask?" Wang Quan said.

"Alright!" Li Chengqian said.

After all, there was no precedent for this matter before, and they didn't know if it was in compliance with the rules.

Just as Wang Quan was about to leave, an eunuch trotted in, bowed his body, and held up a memorial with both hands.

"I would like to report to everyone that Yu Zhining, Duke of the State of Yan, has a copy of the memorial, and present it to the emperor." The eunuch shouted loudly.

Li Chengqian signaled to Wang Quan to bring it over, and Wang Quan stepped forward to take the memorial, turned around and came to Li Chengqian, and handed the memorial to him.

Li Chengqian opened it and looked it over, and he already understood why Yu Zhining had to submit a memorial at this time!
Li Chengqian waved his hand to make the eunuch retreat, and said to Wang Quan, "Tell Zong Zhengqing and the Minister of Rites that the marriage of Princess Xincheng will not be held for the time being."

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the order: "How should the slaves return to Zong Zhengqing and the Minister of Rites?"

"Just tell them Yu Zhining's exact words, and they will understand."

"Listen well, Yu Zhining's original words are the Chinese language system, which is originally for the people of the world. The princess's obedience is cut down, even if the obedience is eliminated according to the rules, how can the situation be changed according to the rules. Please wait three years after the funeral to get married."

"Let's just say that I approved what Yu Zhining played, and I also sent someone to answer Yu Zhining by the way, so that I won't have to wait hard and continue to send me a report." Li Chengqian said.

"No! This servant understands! Let's do it now." Wang Quan said and left directly.
