Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 910 The Twelve Parts of King Yan (Additional update when the monthly ticket target of 2400 is reached)

In the court, there was a fierce quarrel over Li Shimin's decision to ask Li Ke to leave the Anbei Protectorate. Even though this was a suggestion put forward by the Imperial Master, there were still many people who disagreed.

Someone even asked Li Shimin directly: "Isn't your Majesty worried that the prince who was granted the title of Mobei will rebel in the future?"

Li Shimin had long known that Wei Zheng and others would ask this question, because he had also asked Luo Su this question.

So he directly replied with Luo Su's words: "If the Mobei sect king can rebel one day, it proves that the imperial court can no longer control Mobei. Even if there is no sect king, there will be others going south.

Is my son reliable, or someone from nowhere?
The princes of the Zhou Dynasty were vassals of the country, and it took at least four generations before they gradually drifted apart. What do you think? "

Luosu's response is very clever. Since you use what will inevitably happen in the future to discuss current policies, then I will also use the worse possibilities that will inevitably happen in the future to respond to your question.

Will the Zongwang who was granted the title of Mobei have problems one day? If the power is not taken back in time, it will definitely happen. Therefore, it must be combined with feudalism. In fact, even feudalism cannot guarantee safety.

Because it has been enough for the Zong Wang who has been guarding Mobei for decades to build it like an iron barrel, making it impossible for the central government to get in.

Therefore, Wei Zhengfang Xuanling and others are correct and not wrong.

But, even without the Zong Wang, would Datang not have border troubles from the north?
No, the Northern Border Troubles of the Tang Dynasty were doomed. It was just a question of who the enemy was. Even if the nomads on the grasslands entered the Central Plains, they would still have to face the Northern Border Troubles.

After Li Shimin thought about this problem, he naturally came up with the idea of ​​​​rotten meat in the Li family's pot. Even if one day the Tang Dynasty had to face the northern border again, he hoped that it would be two of his own descendants instead of one with a foreign surname. people.

When all the prime ministers figured out what Li Shimin was thinking, everyone shut their mouths.

……

In Concubine Yang Shu's Hall, Li Ke knelt down quietly. His eyes swept over the rather simple and elegant decorations one by one. It was so simple that it didn't look like the bedroom of a distinguished fourth concubine.

Just as Concubine Yang Shu had always abided by, live a peaceful life without fighting or grabbing, Li Ke's eyes fell on his mother, a beautiful woman, quiet and virtuous, like a delicate flower shining in the water when she sat quietly.

Looking at her son kneeling at her feet, Concubine Yang's eyes were filled with tears. A drop of crystal clear tears fell down, and she cried: "You kid, why do you want to go so far all of a sudden? Hala and Lin, what is that?" I heard that it takes six thousand miles to the north from Chang'an to reach this place. Will we, mother and son, ever meet again in the future? "

Li Ke took two steps forward on his knees, knelt on the ground again, and cried: "Mother, please forgive your son for being unfilial."

If he didn't say anything else, Concubine Yang knew that this was beyond her control, so she could only cry again, and then try her best to help him. As a parent, what else could she do?
……

After the edict was issued, the Tang Dynasty court began to prepare intensively for the departure of King Yan Li Ke from the town.

This is the biggest event in the entire imperial court, bar none.

The last time a vassal king went so far away from the town was during the Han Dynasty, when Wushuang Wuxiang Hou Luoshi took the son of Emperor Ruili of the Han Dynasty to establish a kingdom in the Western Regions, and finally Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty granted him the throne.

Even now, the descendants of the Liu surname are still proliferating in the Western Regions. They are Liu Guo among the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Like Zhao Guo, they are descendants of the Xia royal families who once ruled the Western Regions.

These two countries are also very few and accept the Tiankhan system, but everyone knows that they are the kingdoms of Zhuxia.

Therefore, Li Ke's departure from the town is of great importance. This is the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty has sent a clan king to the grassland in such a strong position.

What is the most important thing?
It is to ensure Li Ke's safety. If Li Ke's front foot reaches Harah and Lin, and his back foot suddenly falls ill and dies, then everything will be like a joke.

Moreover, Datang could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

Because in the grasslands, it is very normal for a khan to die, especially in the Central Plains, where it is normal for a khan to die due to acclimatization.

So when Li Ke went to Hara and Lin, the people accompanying him were very important. There were 3,000 people in Anbei Mansion, but this was far from enough. Li Ke's biggest problem was that he did not have his own team.

Most of the people in the Shu Palace were not suitable for the grassland environment, so at least half of them had to be replaced.

and.

Although I really don't want to admit it, after Li Shimin ordered Li Ke to go to Hara and Linjufan, and judging from his attitude, there was basically no chance of returning to the Central Plains in this life, many people in the former Shu Prince's Palace began to look for connections and wanted to transfer out Prince Shu's Mansion.

In fact, I just don’t want to go to Hara and Lin to suffer.

It's okay to go there and fight, but stay there for the rest of your life and even for future generations. Just a word, no need to talk about it. The barbarians still know that the colorful world in the south is wonderful, so they are determined to go south. I, the noble nobles of Xia, go to herd sheep and raise cattle. Is it fair to say that?
From this point of view, the first generation of nobles in Bangzhou were so great that Wang Ji could only enjoy a good life and go to those wild lands to develop, and the development at that time was much more dangerous than it is now.

In response to this situation, Luo family naturally resorted to the traditional method, which is to replace migration with migration!
How were Lingnan, Liaodong, and the Western Regions developed?

Isn't it just that a lot of people were exiled there? The Han Dynasty started from Liu Bang's purge of the rebellious princes and kings, and continued to exile until the end of the Han Dynasty. At least more than 500,000 households were exiled to the frontier.

As for Jingzhou and Jiangdong, more than one million households were exiled and relocated, which greatly oppressed the living space of the people in the mountains. Therefore, the Han Dynasty's achievements in the development of the Xia were second only to the states of Bang and Zhou.

And what about Datang?

From the Wude period to the Zhenguan period, how many people were convicted in these eighteen years?

How many families were confiscated?

Luo Su suggested that Li Shimin carefully select some capable people from among them and let them go to Karakorum with their crimes. If they could make contributions, their titles and honors would be restored, and their fathers and ancestors would be rehabilitated.

This is much better than the conditions of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty wanted to return to Chang'an, and it really depended on luck, but in the Tang Dynasty, there was a clan king there who could make achievements faster.

And just because Li Ke can't come back doesn't mean they can't come back.

Anxi Protectorate, the Lifan Yuan and the Privy Council, aren't these all channels for advancement?

As soon as Li Shimin's policy came out, I don't know how many people found their former relatives and friends, hoping to get a place to go to Harrah's Forest.

Ten companies were eventually identified.

Li Shimin also recruited thousands of warriors for Li Ke who were eager to make achievements. Together with the released prisoners and prisoners' families, a total of 10,000 Han households followed Li Ke to Hara and Lin. Li Ke was a prince and had a family. With ten thousand households in the city, he suddenly became the only prince in the Tang Dynasty who had ten thousand households.

Not only 10,000 Han households, Li Shimin also granted him 2,000 Turkic households and various tribes who were resettled in Hetao. This is because on the grassland, without cavalry, they can only be beaten passively. Not many Han people can ride horses. Even if it's too much, Li Shimin naturally can't give it all to Li Ke.

Moreover, these Turks could teach the Han people who followed Li Ke to move north about nomadic knowledge. When they arrived in Mobei, they could not farm in that place. When I, the King of Heaven, went away, I could only graze herds and live in pursuit of water and grass.

These people who moved north with Li Ke were divided into units for every thousand households, which were called the "Twelve Tribes of King Yan".

What everyone didn't expect was that among them, there was one person who was so unexpected that he actually took the initiative to follow Li Ke to Harah and Forest, and that was the great scholar Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingda said, "Since ancient times, countless Han people have fled to the grasslands, but in the end they were all lost among the barbarians. Although they can only graze on the grasslands, the words of the saint cannot be abandoned. If the Han people on the grasslands Those who can still remember elegant words will never forget their origins even after thousands of years."

The complexity of human nature can be seen from him. Li Shimin looked at the old man in his Prince Qin's palace with great complexity. In the end, he did not persuade him and let him follow Li Ke to Harala and Lin.

The importance the court attached to Li Ke's departure from town made both the court officials and the northern grassland tribes feel the determination of the Tang Dynasty court.

……

On the twenty-third of the first month of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Ke bid farewell to the princes who were bidding him farewell at Shiliting outside Chang'an City. Li Chengqian dragged his legs and came. His relationship with Wei King Li Tai was not very good, but his relationship with Li Ke is good.

He patted Li Ke's shoulder and said warmly: "Third brother, when you get to Hara and Lin, you should write more letters to Chang'an. Don't worry father and us brothers. If you need anything, just tell me, we will be behind." I'll give you my backing, so you won't be bullied by those people on the grassland.

You are the prince of Tang Dynasty, the most noble person under the emperor. "

Li Ke clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Brother Emperor, we say goodbye this time. I don't know when we will see each other again. I wish my father and mother long live, I wish my mother and concubine are healthy, and I wish my brother happiness and peace."

I will pray for you in Harah and Forest. "

The breeze blew across his cheek, bringing with it the deep chill of winter. Li Ke wrapped his brocade fur tightly around his body and said goodbye to everyone again. He looked in the direction of Chang'an from a distance, and it seemed that he could still see the majestic city. Next time When will you come back?

What does the road ahead look like?
Li Ke also felt a little unsure. Will Hala and Lin be the abyss that buries him?
----

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Ke, the king of Shu, was granted the title of King of Yan, Khan of Lieri, and Protector of Anbei, and became the highest political leader of the Tang Empire in the north. People at the time only regarded him as a traditional vassal king leaving the town. , but from the perspective of future generations, we all know that it was the opening of a magnificent era.

We turn our attention back to the initiator of all this, the Tang Dynasty Imperial Preceptor who is said to be the wisest throughout the ages. We can't help but wonder, when someone uses the "bloody prosperous Tang" to describe this extremely glorious dynasty, does the Imperial Preceptor Luo Su Do you know that you have ushered in a bloody era? ——"The Rise and Fall of the Tang Empire"
