Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 424: Mud Nirvana Master

"Your Majesty, I also feel that what Shangguan Shilang said is reasonable, this matter must not be done!" Liu Renyuan stood up and crossed his hands in salute. He also agreed with Shangguanyi's statement.

The generals are more fearful of the court than the external enemies, and they are more dangerous to the Tang Dynasty.

"What you said, Shangguan Aiqing, I have also thought about it. In terms of the current situation, this is just a stopgap measure!"

"After the Great Tang eradicates Goguryeo and there are no more hidden dangers on the Liaodong border, I can put all my thoughts on the north."

"At that time, it's fine to take back the rights and the court in their hands! This matter is decided in this way, and you two don't need to persuade me anymore."

"What's more, their parents, wives and children are still in Chang'an. Could it be that they don't care about the safety of their families?" Li Chengqian said.

These are just his expedient measures, so that Xi Junmai, Wang Fangyi, and Heizhi Changzhi can adapt to the situation and act according to circumstances, as long as they can stop Tubo's attack.

Whoever told the imperial court could not spare a hand to clean up the mess in the Northwest could only rely on the three of them to cooperate with each other. If you want the horse to run, but you don't want the horse to eat grass, it will definitely not work.

What's more, Xi Jun bought their family members who still live in Chang'an City. If they really dare to support themselves, then don't blame him, Li Chengqian, for being rude to their family members!

All of them were chopped up and fed directly to the dogs. An emperor who did too kindly would be considered a kind of weakness.

Shangguanyi and Liu Renyuan sighed and didn't say anything more. Some things were released and they wanted to take them back again. It's not that easy.

"Your Majesty! I think that for the sake of peace in the northwest, please send an edict to Zheng Rentai, the governor of Liangzhou, and order him to lead the generals of Youwuwei, Dugu Qingyun and Xin Wenling, to station troops in Liangzhou and Shanzhou respectively, just in case." Shangguan Yi crossed her hands and saluted.

What he meant was very simple, as long as he stationed troops in these two weeks, once Xi Junmai and others were found to have unruly intentions, he could send troops to exterminate them.

In fact, it is to let Zheng Rentai and others monitor Xi Junmai and others to prevent them from accidentally becoming bigger and ensure that they will not eventually become a threat to Datang.

"Shangguan Aiqing is too worried! Since I want to give them rights, why would I send people to monitor them? I have always employed people without suspicion."

"I will never doubt their loyalty just because they are empowered. If it is because of this suspicion, it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers." Li Chengqian said.

It is better to have more trust between people than to be suspicious of each other. Many times, things will be self-defeating because of lack of trust and mutual suspicion.

Therefore, Li Chengqian did not adopt Shangguanyi's suggestion, because he believed in the three of Wang Fangyi, which was the trust between their monarch and his ministers.

"Na Weichen implores Your Majesty to issue an edict to move the Yanran Dufu to the Uighur tribe, and the Hanhai Dufu to the ancient city of Yunzhong. With Qi as the boundary, the state capital in the north of Qi is under the jurisdiction of the Yanran Dufu. The state capital in the south is under the jurisdiction of Hanhai Duhufu."

"In this way, Mobei can be better managed. Even if Mobei can't stop the conquest, it won't make Mobei more chaotic." Shangguanyi said.

As long as Mobei can get peace, this arrangement can also play a monitoring role. Although it is not as convenient as directly stationing troops in Liangzhou and Shanzhou, it is worse than nothing.

"You can have this!" Li Chengqian said: "Shangguan Aiqing will write an early edict for me. From now on, move the Yanran Duhufu to the Uighur tribe, change its name to the Hanhai Duhufu, and all the state capitals in the north of Qi It is under the jurisdiction of the Hanhai Protectorate."

"Hanhai Protectorate's Mansion was moved to the ancient city of Yunzhong and renamed as Yunzhong Protector's Mansion, and all the state capitals in Qinan were under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong Protectorate." Li Chengqian said.

If no one was sent to monitor, the ministers in the court would probably have trouble sleeping and eating, and even Xi Junmai and the others who were far away in Tuyuhun had some scruples.

Such an arrangement not only stabilized the hearts of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but also reassured the three Wang Fangyi who were fighting against Tubo in Tuyuhun at this time. This was not a matter of trust or not.

Shangguanyi hurriedly took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread out the paper, polished the ink, and took up the pen to write the imperial edict for Li Chengqian.

"Your Majesty! The edict has been drafted, please read it over." Shangguanyi showed the written edict to Li Chengqian.

"Very good, let's send it like this!" After Li Chengqian read it, he drew a word on the edict and stamped it with a seal. The rest was handed over to the officials of the three provinces to sign and seal, and then sent someone to deliver the edict That's it.

"Report to Your Majesty! The Prince of Persia, Master Nirvana, please see me!" An eunuch ran in and saluted with crossed hands.

"Nirvana Master? Why is he here? Where is he now?" Li Chengqian wondered, why did Nirvana Master suddenly come to him at this time.

"Return to Your Majesty! The Persian Prince Nirvana Master is waiting at Zichen's gate at this time." The eunuch said.

35 meters north of Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace is Zichen Gate, and 60 meters north of Zichen Gate is Zichen Hall, which is nearly 50 meters wide from north to south.

"Then Xuanni Nirvana Master enters the palace to have an audience!" Li Chengqian said, turned around and sat back on the throne to wait for the Nirvana Master to meet him, he wanted to see what the Nirvana Master wanted him for.

"No!" The eunuch led the order and retreated, came to the outside of the Zichen Hall, and shouted loudly: "Xuan Persian Prince Ni Nirvana has an audience!"

Hearing that he was summoned, Ni Nirvana immediately tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards Zichen Hall.

When he came to the Zichen Hall, Master Nirvana saluted Li Chengqian and said, "The prince of Persia, Master Nirvana, pays homage to His Majesty! Long live the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."

"Freedom of courtesy! Give me a seat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nirvana Master thanked him.

"Master Nirvana, why did you come to see me?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! I just received a letter from my family. Dashi aggressively attacked Persia. Part of the Persian homeland recovered by my father was re-occupied by Dashi. Now, my father's whereabouts are unknown, whether he is dead or alive."

"I implore Your Majesty to send troops to help Persia and retake the lost homeland so that our Sasanian Dynasty can be restored." The Nirvana master bowed and bowed, his forehead pressed against the ground.

"I already knew about Dashi's attack on Persia. Not only was your Persia captured by Dashi, but they also harassed the Brahmins to the south, swallowed up all the barbarians, and had more than [-] troops."

"As for your father, the Persian king Belus, you don't have to worry. He has fled to Tocharo now. There are soldiers from my Tang Dynasty there. Dashi dare not act rashly."

"Your father's life is safe! As for sending troops to Persia, I can only tell you that judging from the current situation, now is not the time." Li Chengqian said.

"Then when will His Majesty send troops to help us restore the Sassanid Dynasty?" Nirvana Master asked cautiously.

"You get up first, this is not urgent, after I finish Goguryeo and Tubo, I will definitely send troops to help you restore the Sasanian Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I hereby swear that my Persian royal family will be loyal to the Li family dynasty for generations." Nirvana Master saluted.

"Okay! Get up! You don't need to perform such a grand ceremony, it's almost noon! You all stay and have dinner together!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Master Ni Nie, Shangguanyi, and Liu Renyuan hurriedly saluted and thanked the emperor for his dinner.
