Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 354 Lin Yi Country

Chapter 354 Lin Yi Country

In March of the fourth year of Yonghui, Li Chengqian issued an edict to promulgate the book "Five Classics Justice" compiled by Kong Yingda and others under the imperial edict.

From now on, the annual Mingjing examination must be based on this standard, and the imperial examination must also be answered according to this standard, and free play is not allowed.

After Li Chengqian went down to court, when he was returning to the office area, he passed by a place, and suddenly there were bursts of elephant calls.

"Stop!" Li Chengqian yelled to stop, the eunuch hurriedly stopped, Li Chengqian listened attentively, and really heard the voice of the elephant.

"Wang Quan, what sound did you hear?" Li Chengqian asked, thinking he was hallucinating.

There are no elephants in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the sound of elephants can be heard in the palace.

"Report to everyone! The servant heard it, and there was indeed an animal's cry." Wang Quan said.

Wang Quan's answer confirmed that it was not his hallucination, Li Chengqian asked: "Why is there such an animal cry in the palace? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Everyone, this is Xunxiang, one of the tributes paid by Linyi Kingdom." Wang Quan said.

"Didn't I hand over the tributes of Lin Yiguo to the Dian Ke Department? Why did this training elephant appear in the palace?" Li Chengqian asked.

He remembered that at that time, after receiving the envoy of Lin Yiguo and receiving the tribute from the other party, he handed it over to the Dian Ke Department. Isn't a creature like an elephant supposed to be in the Dian Ke Department?How could it appear in the palace.

"Everyone, you forgot. You said that you have never really seen the training elephant. If you want to see it, you ask someone to keep it in the palace temporarily." Wang Quan said.

"When you said that, I remembered it! But there is such a thing, let's go! Drive to Liangyi Hall." Li Chengqian said.

Only then did the eunuch carry Li Chengqian towards Liangyi Hall.

Li Chengqian summoned Li Ji to discuss military and state affairs, discuss the current situation, and future strategies for the various ethnic groups around Datang.

"Sikong! Where is Lin Yiguo located?" As he spoke, Li Chengqian asked about Lin Yiguo.

He knew that this Linyi country was a place in Vietnam, but he didn't know where it was. The only thing he knew was one sentence.

From the south of Linyi, they all have curly hair and black bodies, and their common name is "Kunlun".

"This Linyi country is located in the south of our Central Plains. In the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom and established nine counties in the old land of the Nanyue Kingdom, including Rinan County."

"And Linyi State is located in the original Xianglin County of Rinan County, also known as Xianglinyi. Later, the word Xiang was omitted, so it was also called Linyi." Li Ji said.

"So, Lin Yiguo should be located in the south of Jiaozhou." Li Chengqian said.

"That's right! Linyi Kingdom originally belonged to the Xianglin in Rinan in the Western Han Dynasty. It is more than a thousand miles south of Jiaozhou, and its territory is thousands of miles away." Li Ji said.

"Since Linyi Kingdom was originally the territory of our Han people, why did it break away from the rule of the Central Plains and establish itself?" Li Chengqian asked.

He really doesn't know much about this period of history, even when did Linyi become a country.

"This starts from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. A man named Qu Lian from the Zhan tribe killed the county magistrate at that time and called himself the king of Linyi."

"Later, at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lin Yiguo no longer paid tribute to the Central Plains. Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, sent Du Huidu, the governor of Jiaozhou, to conquer Linyi Kingdom in the south. Linyi please surrender to Liu Song as a minister and pay tribute."

"During the Sui Daye period, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sent Sui general Liu Fang to attack Linyi Kingdom and set up Linyi County."

"When the Tang Dynasty was established, Linyi Kingdom paid tribute to our Tang Dynasty. The soldiers of Linyi Kingdom used vines as armor and bamboo as bows to fight on elephants." Li Ji said.

This is the origin of Linyi Kingdom, a small country with a long history.

"Since Linyi Kingdom originally belonged to the county of our Central Plains Dynasty, and Emperor Sui Yang sent troops to attack it and set up a county in it, my Tang Dynasty should take it back."

"Sikong thinks, is it appropriate for me to send troops to attack Lin Yiguo?" Li Chengqian asked.

Since it belongs to his own family, it is natural to take him back, how can he continue to belong to someone else's family.

"Linyi is just a small country, so why bother your Majesty, the world is peaceful now, but surrounded by powerful enemies, if we send troops to capture Linyi, we will have no name." Li Ji said, he felt that it was not worth sending troops at all, and Linyi belonged to Tang Dynasty dependent country.

Therefore, there is no need to seize Linyi Kingdom at all.

Li Chengqian didn't get too entangled in this topic, and after the two chatted about other things, Li Ji left Liangyi Hall.

However, Li Chengqian remembered Lin Yiguo in his heart, which gave him a reason for sending troops south.

In the four years of Yonghui, droughts occurred in many places, even the Guanzhong area was affected, and floods occurred in the Huainan area.

In April, Li Chengqian sent envoys to adjudicate crimes across the country due to the drought and interrogated and recorded prisoners' crimes, and issued an edict to reduce horse feed in Dianzhong Province and Taipu Temple, and ordered civil and military officials to discuss political affairs.

At the same time, let people pay attention to whether there will be a locust plague, and how to deal with it if there is a locust plague.

This year is another eventful one.

Li Chengqian also ordered that the palace began to shrink his clothing and diet, and even his meals were reduced again and again, with only a bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns every day.

"Everyone! The governor of Tongzhou sent me the memorial." Wang Quan hurried in and handed a copy of the memorial to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took it and saw that it was a melody sent by the governor of Tongzhou. The melody said that there were [-] meteorites that fell on Feng Yi of Tongzhou. The governor of Tongzhou reported the good news to the emperor.

Claiming that this is auspiciousness from heaven, God bless the Tang Dynasty, etc., Li Chengqian threw it aside before finishing it.

Now the disasters in various places have made him feel devastated!Now these guys still have time to do these useless things.

"In the future, if you have such a playbook again, you can just throw it away. You don't have to submit it to me again. It's annoying to see it." Li Chengqian said without raising his head.

"No!" Wang Quan said in command.

"What is the current situation of Shangshu Youpushe and Beiping County Duke Zhang Xingcheng?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The Duke of Beiping County is still sick in bed. I heard that the situation is not optimistic. I'm afraid he won't be able to make it through!" Wang Quan said.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are just the normal state of life, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is normal for Zhang Xingcheng to die at such an old age.

"Who is in charge of Shangshu Province now?" Li Chengqian asked.

"It is Chu Suiliang who is in charge of the affairs of Shangshu Province." Wang Quan said.

In the past, when Zhang Xingcheng was still able to move around, Zhang Xingcheng and Chu Suiliang discussed and dealt with Shang Shusheng's affairs. Now that Zhang Xingcheng is gone, Chu Suiliang is in charge of Shang Shusheng's affairs.

Naturally, Li Chengqian would not let Chu Suiliang grow bigger and ignore it.

"Report to everyone! The commander of Jinyiwei made a report!" An eunuch came in to report and handed a copy of the report to Li Chengqian.
