Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 320 Khalibu is lost

"If you have something to play, you can leave the court if you have nothing to do." Wang Quan yelled when the morning court was held at Chengtian Gate.

Chengtian Gate is the main gate of Taiji Palace. Among all the city gates, the most important gate is the Chengtian Gate in the middle of the south wall.

There are tall buildings on Chengtianmen, and there are east and west halls on the left and right outside the gate. There is a palace square about [-] steps in front of the gate, and the south faces Zhuque Gate and Mingde Gate.

The location of the north-south linear street with a width of about 150 meters to 155 meters is also very important.

The Chengtian Gate and the East and West Halls were regarded by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as foreign courts, where they held grand ceremonies and consulted the public; they were also the must-have venues for the emperor to have banquets for his ministers.

Except for important events that will be held in the Taiji Hall, which is the most respected among the three inner halls, most early dynasties will be held here.

After retiring from the court, if the emperor had other matters to discuss with the ministers, he would usually summon the ministers in the Liangyi Hall of the Inner Court.

"Report to Your Majesty! The Ministry of War has just received a letter from the Anxi Protectorate." The official of the Ministry of War said.

"What did Protector Anxi say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The battle report says that since the king of Kucha, Halibu Shibi, was captured by the right guard general Ashinasheer and brought back to Chang'an, there have been constant internal strife in Kucha. Anxi Governor asked how to deal with the domestic affairs of Kucha." An official came forward to report.

After King Helibu Shibi of Kucha was captured alive by Ashinasheer and returned to Chang'an, Yehu, the younger brother of Heli Bushibi, was appointed as the new King of Kucha.

However, there are still many people in Kucha who don't buy it, so all those who are capable stand up and want to fight for the throne of Kucha, and Kucha fell into civil strife.

The Anxi Governor also sent people to mediate, and even threatened with force, but they still couldn't stop the civil strife in Kucha.

The Protector of Anxi couldn't kill them all. In desperation, the Protector of Anxi had no choice but to report the matter to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court could solve this problem.

Li Chengqian frowned. Kucha is the seat of the Anxi Protectorate, and it is also the four major military towns in Anxi that are also under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate.

It is the Tang Dynasty court who comforted the Western Turks, protected the main land transportation routes between China and the West, and consolidated the Tang Dynasty's northwest frontier defense. The importance of its role is self-evident.

Qiuci is also located on the Silk Road, the hub of communication between China and the West, guarding the throat of the middle section of the North Road of the Silk Road, connecting the trade between the East and the West, and carrying the civilization of the East and the West.

It has a pivotal position in the long history of the world's economy and culture.

For Datang, the maintenance of the four towns of Anxi must not be compromised. Once something goes wrong in the four towns of Anxi, it means that the Tang Dynasty loses the main land transportation route between China and the West, which will endanger the Northwest Frontier Defense of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen.

"Do you have a good strategy?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! The old minister thought it would be better to let the King of Kucha, Helibu Shibi, return to Kucha, let him take over the power again, and comfort Kucha."

"Now, the only way is for Helibu Shibi to return to Kucha. Relying on his prestige and prestige in Kucha for many years, as long as Helibu Shibi returns to Kucha, all problems will be solved." Changsun Wu Avoid going out.

This is the advantage of the Jiji system. The native officials ruled the natives, and because of the special circumstances, they were ruled by customs, which was different from the general states and counties, and was equivalent to the autonomous regions of later generations.

This is also the best way to deal with the civil strife in Kucha right now.

As long as the King of Kucha returns to Kucha and regains the throne of Kucha, he will be able to use the prestige he has accumulated as a king for so many years to inspire the people of Kucha to stop the internal fighting and return to peace.

For Datang, this is beneficial and harmless!
"The Taiwei is right. Don't the other lovers have anything to add?" Li Chengqian asked, looking at Man Chao Wenwu.

"Your Majesty! The words of the Taiwei will be seconded!" Li Ke stood up and expressed his support for Changsun Wuji.

As far as the moment is concerned, there is no better way than to let King Qiuci go back!

Therefore, Li Ke stood up without hesitation and supported Changsun Wuji for the sake of the peace of the northwestern border of the Tang Dynasty.

He did this not for himself, but for Datang.

"The ministers seconded the proposal!" Li Ji, Chu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong and others called out their names, and senior officials above the fourth rank all stood up to support Changsun Wuji's proposal.

"The ministers and others seconded the proposal!" Other officials who were qualified to stand above the court all stood up and echoed and supported Changsun Wuji's proposal.

Sending the King of Kucha, Helibu Shibi, back to Kucha is already a matter of popular expectations, and it is also the best way to solve the civil strife in Kucha right now.

"Since all the lovers have no objection to the Taiwei's words, let Helibu Shibi return to the Kucha Kingdom to become the king."

"Tell King Qiuci to see you!" Li Chengqian said.

"Tell the king of Kucha, Hari Bushi, to see him!"

"Tell the King of Kucha, Heli Bushibi, to have an audience..." The emperor's order was quickly conveyed to the King of Kucha, Heli Bushibi.

He Libushibi immediately got dressed and followed the eunuch who came to pass the message to the outer court of the Tang Dynasty.

"Chen He Li Bu Shi Bi pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang! Life is boundless!" He Li Bu Shi Bi saluted Li Chengqian on the throne.

"Free from courtesy!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Xie En, King of Kucha, got up and stood there waiting for Li Chengqian to speak.

"Since you entered the capital, civil strife has continued in Kucha. Although your younger brother Yehu has become the king of Kucha, he has no ability to put down the rebellion."

"Now I want you to go back and take charge of the overall situation. The General Zuo Xiaowei Qibi Heli will escort you. It's a long way to go, and I hope you can cherish it all the way." Li Chengqian said.

"I will fulfill my mission!" Zuo Xiaowei General Qi Bi He Li got up and came out, saluting.

"The general must be careful all the way to the west." Li Chengqian told Qili Whybo.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will do my best to escort the King of Kucha back home safely." Qibi Heli said.

"Well! You guys go down and get ready! The matter is urgent and there is no need to delay. Once you are ready, you will set off immediately." Li Chengqian said.

"Observe the decree! The minister will leave!" Qi Li He Bi and He Li Bu Shibi saluted and retreated.

"Dear dears, there are other matters to be announced." Li Chengqian asked.

Seeing that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not say a word, they knew that there was nothing to do and needed to be discussed in the court.

Li Chengqian signaled Wang Quan to announce his retirement.

Wang Quan immediately took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Retire!"

"Your Majesty will be sent off respectfully!" The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, holding the jade wat in both hands, knelt on the ground and respectfully sent the emperor back to court.

Li Chengqian got up and left the Chengtian Gate of the Outer Dynasty. After leaving the gate of the palace, he returned to the place where he usually reviewed the memorials and continued to review the memorials.

The civil and military ministers, waited until the figure of the emperor left before they could get up and leave. They each returned to their offices and started their day's work.
