Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The emperor of Tang Dynasty shook his head and said, "Although Duke Qin has made great contributions, he is not the number one hero in this battle."

...People looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.This time Guo Ye recognized the credit for being second, who else would dare to recognize the first?Is it because His Majesty has been trapped for so long, and his mind is a little hard to use?Or did he intend to suppress Qin Guogong?

His Majesty Li Er continued: "The first victory in this battle is two people. One is Mo Hui, the leader of the Khitan Eight Clan Alliance. The other is Su Zhi, the prince of the Xi clan. If it weren't for the two people who understood the righteousness and sent troops together . Qin Guogong is afraid that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

If you talk about others, then everyone will definitely disagree.But if you talk about these two foreigners, it doesn't matter.People brought their own dry food to fight for the Tang Dynasty, and the credit is a little exaggerated, but it is nothing.

His Majesty Li Er stood up, walked to the mohui, and said: "You Khitan have made such great achievements, what kind of reward do you want?"

"We didn't do much in the war. It was all thanks to Qin Guogong's mighty power that we won a big victory. I dare not take it as a reward from His Majesty."

"You are wrong. Qin Guogong's credit belongs to Qin Guogong, and your credit belongs to your own. They should not be confused. I will reward him later, and now I want to talk about you Khitan itself."

Mo Hui rolled his eyes, and said: "I, Khitan, was originally a barbarian, but I didn't know how to educate. Today, I saw the might of Qin Guogong and His Majesty's invincible soldiers, so I know the power of the Tang Dynasty. Now I am willing to enlist the family, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and pointed with his fingers, and said: "Mohui, Mohui, I think you are afraid of power... Uh, in a word, your thoughts are good, I am very relieved! Okay, I agree with you Require."

He originally wanted to say that he was afraid of authority but not of morality, but this was not a good word after all, so he quickly changed his words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The Demon Society knelt down and saluted.

"Then I will take the territory of Khitan as the Songmo Governor's Mansion. And you, Mohui, will be the first governor of the Songmo Governor's Mansion."

"According to the order!"

"In addition... as far as I know, your Khitan's so-called Eight-Party Alliance is also called the Dahe Alliance. Is your surname Dahe?"

"That's not true. We Khitan people have names but no surnames. The nobles of the Weichen tribe are all called members of the Dahe clan. The so-called Dahe clan means the most powerful tribe."

"That's how it is. Since you are my people, it's not good to not have a surname. How about this, I will give all of you members of the Dahe family a unified surname Li. As for other tribesmen, you can take any Chinese surname."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the surname. That humble minister will be called Li Mohui from now on."

"You have the same surname as me, but you must guard this territory for me and manage the people of the Songmo Dudu Mansion well."

"This humble minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment, and die with dedication!"

"Good! Good!"

Then, His Majesty Li Er came to Su Zhi again and said, "Prince Su Zhi, what reward do you want from the Xi clan?"

Su Zhi was still young, so he couldn't help but feel a little helpless at this moment. He peeked at Guo Ye and muttered, "I...I...I don't know either."

"Why don't you know? Think about it again. As long as it is a reasonable request, I will grant it. Even if it is the same as the request of the Morocco Association, it is also acceptable."

"I... I listen to Duke Qin."

shuh~

Guo Ye broke out in a cold sweat immediately, and said: "Your Highness, be careful what you say! How can someone Guo make you obey me?"

His Majesty Li Er's face changed slightly at first, then he was relieved, and said: "It's because the old king of the Xi family is not here, so His Royal Highness can't be the master. Don't push it on Qin Guogong's head."

It was only then that Su Zhi realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly made amends: "Then we, the Xi Clan, also request to be included."

Originally, Su Zhi, as a prince, was not qualified to request an attachment at all, but His Majesty Li Er didn't care about that.This is the achievement of expanding the territory, how could he refuse?

Immediately he said with great joy: "Okay! Then I will take the place where your Xi clan is located as the governor's mansion of Rao Le, and His Royal Highness the prince will be the first governor of Rao Le. According to the Khitan regulations, I will give you the surname Li."

Su Zhi said: "I'm not quite the same as Mohui. He's just the head of the Khitan alliance and has no real power. I, the prince, have real power. How can we have the same official positions?"

Mo Hui looked embarrassed, and said: "Don't be dissatisfied. The governor is the biggest official of the Xi clan. Could it be that you still want to serve in the Tang court?"

His Majesty Li Er didn't want to make extravagant matters, and said: "Prince Su Zhi is not satisfied, then I will give you the post of Duke of Loufan County."

"That's about the same, thank you, Your Majesty."

When Su Zhi knelt down, the title was confirmed.

Today, Datang set up two Jimi prefectures at once, and the area is larger than Goguryeo.

All the ministers knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty's virtues are profound, and he spreads the world, attracting Xi clan and Khitan to vote. Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er laughed loudly and said: "Today is really three joys. The first joy is the defeat of Goguryeo, the second joy is the Khitan internal attachment, and the third happiness is the Xi clan internal attachment. What does this mean? It means that our Tang Dynasty is unprecedentedly strong! Let's encourage each other!"

The ministers were full of flattery again.

Guo Ye said auspicious words casually, but his heart felt tired.The Xi clan is okay, the key is Khitan.

I managed to get the Khitan Babu to swear to the Tianmeng that they would never say sweat.The purpose is to prevent Khitan from forming a real core.

This is great, His Majesty Li Er's words almost ruined his own efforts.The governor of Songmo, Mohui, was not elected. As long as he doesn't decree to deprive him, he can continue to be the governor.

In other words, he will be the Khitan leader recognized by Datang in the future.This is not much different from Khan.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er's move is not without any advantage.

Although the Songmo Governor's Mansion is only a Jimi prefecture, it can be regarded as the territory of the Tang Dynasty.From now on, the imperial court can justifiably intervene in some Khitan's internal affairs.It's really hard to say whether it's a loss or a profit with such a one-in-one-out.

After the voices of the people gradually decreased, His Majesty Li Er announced the rewards for all the Khitan and Xi clan soldiers who participated in the battle.In addition to the wine and meat just mentioned, two bolts of silk were rewarded, and the money was consistent.

This number is nothing to Tang Jun, but it is a very impressive number for their two countries.

Make a simple comparison.Hundreds of years later, Khitan and Song made the Chanyuan alliance.According to this treaty, the property that the Song Dynasty gave to Khitan every year was 20 bolts of silk and 10 taels of silver.

This can satisfy Khitan and maintain peace with Song Dynasty for decades.

But now Datang rewards Khitan and Xi people with 16 bolts of silk and [-] guan of money.It is similar to the age difference of the Chanyuan Alliance.

Don't forget, the future Khitan will be a big country with a population of nearly ten million.But now it is just a small tribe with a population of several 10.

Such a reward is not unreasonable.

Mohui and Su Zhi knelt down again to thank them.

Then, His Majesty Li Er came to Guo Ye again and said, "Guo Aiqing's achievements are well known, but what reward do you want?"

Guo Ye knelt down on the ground and said: "I don't want any rewards, I just want your Majesty to severely punish a person."

"Who do you want me to focus on?"

"Master Xun Zhang Liang!"
