The first year of Zhenguan, March [-]

Of the two Eastern Turkic khans, one died in battle and the other was captured. The Eastern Turkic regime was overthrown, leaving only [-] captives with [-] cavalry.

In the Taiji Hall, Li Shimin was so magnificent that he looked down on the world. As the winner today, he would discuss with the ministers how to deal with the [-] Turkic captives.

"My dear friends, how should we deal with the [-] Turkic barbarians captured now?"

Yan Shigu, the servant of Zhongshu in the Taiji Hall, was the first to stand up, admonishing loudly
"This Turkic barbarian is cruel and not as polite and righteous as the Han people like me."

"If it is returned to the Turks and allowed to develop, it will definitely counterattack my Tang Dynasty in a few years"

"Your Majesty, please place this group of defeated barbarians in the states of Hebei Province, set up leaders of various ethnic groups, divide the Turkic tribes, and supervise them by our military and civilians in the Tang Dynasty."

"It can guarantee that the Tang Dynasty will no longer be invaded by barbarians"

Li Shimin nodded, Yan Shigu's suggestion is good, Turkic is a country with many tribes mixed, it is feasible to divide them into various tribes and place them on the land of Tang Dynasty, and step up their defenses.

Li Baiyao, from Zhongshushe, shook his head and stood up against Yan Shigu's proposal
"What Shigu said is a bit too petty"

"My minister thinks that it is better to put [-] cavalry in frontier fortresses instead of imprisoning [-] brave cavalry in various states in Hebei Province."

"Reward military merits, establish rewards and punishments, divide into tribes, and collect [-] Turkic soldiers into the bag, and use them for our Tang Dynasty. This is the way of a wise king."

Li Baiyao wanted to take [-] captives back to Datang for use, but he still split up and absorbed them.

Li Shimin also felt that it would be a waste to disarm these [-] cavalry and return them to the fields, turning them into ordinary people, and raising their files every day.

Si Nongqing Dou Jing heard Li Baiyao's remarks, but immediately offered to echo
"The nature of the Rongdi is like a beast. If we stay in the Central Plains, we need to supply food and waste manpower to guard them."

"I thought it was not enough to keep the Turkic barbarians in the frontier"

"It is also necessary to entrust a vassal king, divide the Turkic land, and let the tribes fight each other. In this way, the Turkic barbarians will not have the energy to fight against the Tang Dynasty in the future."

Dou Jing's idea of ​​differentiation and internal fighting is similar to Pei Ju's original division of Eastern and Western Turks.

"Yuanxiu's plan is only to temporarily prevent the Turkic barbarians from invading our Tang Dynasty."

Du Ruhui took Dou Jing's words, and he disagreed with Dou Jing's remarks

"Your Majesty's Southern Expedition broke the Turk's backbone. Now there is no master on the grassland, and it is time for us to enlighten you."

"I think that if you move to the inland area, learn how to farm, learn how to farm and mulberry, and learn etiquette, after a few years, the Turkic barbarians will definitely become the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"The king is in all things, and the sky is overwhelmed, and there is nothing left behind"

"Your Majesty, please be generous and fraternal, and enlighten the world"

Du Ruhui wanted to move the Turkic people to the land of the Tang Dynasty, let him cultivate crops and mulberry, study and learn rituals, and become a citizen of the Tang Dynasty from a barbarian.

Wei Zheng, however, spoke out with a wave of anger and hatred when everyone was thinking about whether to divide and absorb, or divide the land and seal the king.
"Keming, the Turks have been bandits for generations, and the common people are lords. You all forget that the prince died tragically, and you all forget that the Turks killed my Tang people time and time again."

"That's just a bunch of white-eyed wolves, they can't be raised well, and they can't be taught."

"Those [-] captive soldiers must have hatred. Whether they stay in the interior or the frontier, they will find a way to rebel."

"It's better to get rid of them as soon as possible instead of letting them grow up and rebel."

Wei Zheng suggested to kill the captives, so as to avoid future troubles, he was so cruel that Li Shimin didn't even dare to kill [-] captives.

There was another quarrel between the court and the court, the last time was when the Western Turks were coming to marry each other, Feng Deyi and Du Ruhui quarreled.

This time, several people insisted on their own opinions and quarreled with each other.

In the farm, Li Shimin came again. At this time, Zheng Renjing was lying on the rocking chair with a volume of "Sword Immortal" in his hand, reading fascinatedly. Liao Yuzhu's books have become more and more appealing to him recently.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye, and a figure of a thief slowly slipped in from the gate. He looked at the well-dressed man, wasn't that Lizhi's father?

"You're like a thief, do I have something shady here?"

He put down the book, Li Shimin also happened to sneak up in front of him shortly, and he saw that Xiao Li was alone today, which is strange, this guy usually doesn't go out without three or five friends.

"Uncle, I know you're back, so I'll come to see you right away."

Li Shimin's face was not red when he spoke, and his heart was not beating. Originally, he came to see how the Guanyin servant girl was doing, and when he came back, he didn't know that Zheng Renjing was lazily reading a book.

"I just made braised beef in brown sauce, you just smell it, your nose is too good"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he got an unexpected harvest, absolutely unexpected, he didn't expect to be able to eat braised beef made by Zheng Renjing himself again today.

The saliva was about to flow down, Li Shimin wiped the marks on the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly squatted beside him.

"Uncle, where are my wife and daughter?"

Li Shimin was afraid that Lizhi and Guanyin's servants would see his current appearance, so he kept looking around.

"In the past two days, His Majesty has returned with a great victory. The people of Chang'an are celebrating. The supply of meat and vegetables has doubled. The two of them have gone to Chang'an to deploy and distribute. It is estimated that they will not be able to return until dark."

When Li Shimin heard that Guanyin's servant girl and Changle were busy with business and were not here, he was relieved, and then he felt something was wrong, his wife and daughter contributed, and this guy was so leisurely at home.

"My wife is ill and cannot work for a long time. Please ask my uncle to let her rest more."

Avalokitesvara's maidservant is suffering from shortness of breath, and has been coughing incessantly during spring these years. Li Shimin still doesn't want Guanyin's maidservant to work too hard.

When he heard it, his wife was in poor health, and the lady who ate two meals without panting was in poor health?

In the morning, I saw her carrying seven buckets of rice from the kitchen and walking like flying on her shoulders. Did Xiao Li misunderstand her health a little bit?
"She can rest whenever she wants, but she just said she wanted to do something. I never force people here."

He is not a black-hearted boss. Empress Changsun does not want to manage the harem herself, the farm is clean and the food is good, and she lives a fulfilling life every day, so she works independently.

"But your wife and daughter are not here, or you can go to Chang'an City to find them, and don't bother me to read if you have nothing to do."

After speaking, he lay back down again with a thud. Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin carved out the same mold as Wude Nine Years.

After Mingming Zhenguannian, he became much more diligent, why did he become lazy again after returning from Fan Yang.

"Uncle, there is something I really want to discuss with you recently."

He squinted his eyes to read the book, and without looking at Li Shimin's expression, he lazily pointed to another chair next to him.

Li Shimin knew what he meant, so he sat on the edge and said it, and he answered you after he listened.

Li Shimin watched the rocking chair sit firmly on it, and leaned back with his feet dangling in the air, feeling indescribably comfortable.

"Uncle, recently His Majesty defeated the Turkic cavalry and captured [-] troops."

"However, today the ministers had another conflict over the disposal of the [-] surrendered soldiers."

Li Shimin looked at him and found that he didn't pursue the question, so he could only continue talking.

"Some people say that the Turkic barbarians are all white-eyed wolves, and it is better to kill them all."

"There are also people who say that there will be a big migration for the Turks, let them all move to the interior, and then use various tribes to divide them"

"Some people also said that they should go to the frontier to defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty"

"Some people say that they should be educated and let them come to the mainland to farm and grow mulberry."

"Uncle, who do you think is right about this!"

After listening to what Li Shimin said, he recalled in his heart that this incident should have happened in the third year of Zhenguan, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, there would be endless quarrels because of the [-] soldiers who surrendered.

Now that it was earlier, he still knew that Wei Zheng was the one who said he had killed them all. Later, because Li Shimin didn't listen to Wei Zheng, he caused the Turks to rebel several times, saying that we don't need Wei Zhengyan, and he was almost embarrassed.

He put down the book, squinted his eyes and said leisurely:

"Then kill it, so as not to cause trouble for rebellion in the future"

Li Shimin looked at him incredulously, how could this uncle be as vicious as the farmer Weng Wei Zheng, tens of thousands of people would kill him if they said they would!
"But... Your Majesty doesn't really want to kill him."

When he heard it, he laughed
"I don't want to kill and surrender, but I can't manage the Turks"

"Whether it's moving to the inland for division or frontier fortress division, as long as the people of the Tang Dynasty manage the Turkic people, they will be very harsh on them. After a few years, they will have a rebellious heart."

"Originally they were used to hunting horses and herding sheep, and they were used to the wild. Let them grow crops and learn poetry and etiquette, which is impossible for ordinary people."

Li Shimin still felt in his heart that he had a way, especially the last sentence, that ordinary people can't do it, that doesn't mean that uncle can't do it.

"Uncle, is there nothing you can do?"

He listened to Li Shimin's flattering tone, which made his skin crawl.

"There is a way, but I don't know how effective it will be."

He continued to swing on the rocking chair, looking like he was in a state of leisure for half a day, and his mind was not on Li Shimin's words at all.

"Then uncle, you can teach me."

He opened his eyes slightly, and glanced at Li Shimin from the corner of his eye.

"Don't rush, don't rush, just stare for a while"

So Li Shimin could only sigh, and lay back on the rocking chair, and the two of them fell asleep while rocking in the farm.
