Crown Tang emperor

As for the two children who were seated at the table with King Yong, Tang Lingshu poked Yang Li's waist in secret, then turned to her and said silently, "It's a strange thing to live in..."

Yang Li blinked, raised her hand to hold the rhino horn knife in Tang Lingshu's sleeve, glanced at the princess of Fan Kingdom who was kneeling in front of His Highness's banquet, and whispered in the same whisper: "I'm afraid I feel pity..."

Not to mention what the two whispered and the thoughts of those present, Wu Youyi stared intently at His Royal Highness King Yong's expression with wide eyes. Seeing His Highness's slightly frowning brows and pensive expression, he stood up first and went in to pay homage: "Your Highness's family Famous utensils, Enweilong in this world, Tang Zuo’s surviving has already relied on His Royal Highness’s pioneering work, and now it has spread far and wide, so that all the barbarians will vote for it, and this sincerity is expected by everyone. Famous kings and great utensils, why not tolerate it!"

Wu Youyi's tone was slightly exaggerated, but it also made everyone in the hall wake up, and they all spoke in agreement.

The reason why Li Tong was silent at the moment was not because he wanted to accept the donation from the princess of the Fan kingdom, but because of this, he thought about what kind of attitude the Xingtai should adopt in dealing with the Fan kingdom issue in the future.

The territory under the jurisdiction of Daxingtai in Shaanxi Province covers quite a few areas of Fanhu.Regardless of Longyou, Heshuo or the Western Regions, there are a large number of Hulu tribes and states.

Among them, some Jimi prefectures are still easy to handle. Daxingtai already has the power to control them, and its attitude and methods are tougher and more meticulous than that of the imperial court.

But apart from these prefectures, there are still some states that still have strong independence, and their monarchs are still authorized by the Tang court to lead their people.Daxingtai has much less control over the monarchs of this type of state.

After all, their respective princes are directly conferred by the imperial court, and Daxingtai has no power to adjust or abolish them directly. They even have concerns about punishing their respective personal and property, and need to report to the imperial court.

This has caused these foreign monarchs to be confident, not obedient to Daxingtai's decrees, or obediently obeying and violating, and even openly contradicting them.After all, Daxingtai itself has no right to govern them. Whether they listen to Daxingtai's orders depends on whether they are conscious and can face Yong Wang Enwei squarely.

For example, not long ago, Li Tong ordered the Tuyuhun survivors living in Lingzhou to prepare to move back to Qinghai to cooperate with the Longyou Tang Army's military operations to continue to recover Qinghai.The focus of this is naturally the Tuyuhun Wang family, this generation of Qinghai Wang Murongzhong.

But when Qi Biming, the general manager of Heshuo, conveyed this order to the other party, instead of obeying the order, Murong Zhong, the king of Qinghai, fled directly from Anle Prefecture, where he was stationed, and took a detour to Hedong to go to Shendu. It is said that he was still in court. He accused King Yong of being domineering.

Not to mention whether to deal with Murong Zhong's problem, this incident alone made Xingtai feel a little disgraced in Heshuo.Some of the chiefs of the Hu tribe also took Murong Zhong as an example, and they did not cooperate well with orders that were too tough and infringed on their respective interests.

Faced with this situation, Qi Biming did not dare to blindly force him.Although the Turkic Khan fled back to Monan after the defeat of Mo Chuai, it is said that he has returned to Nanya Heisha City again, and he will not be a threat to Hequ in the short term.

However, the situation in Hequ is complicated, and there is not enough troops to prepare for the battle at present, so it is still inappropriate to make strong orders hastily, so some adjustments that have been planned have to be suspended.

Because Qinghai Wang Murongzhong fled in disobedience alone, Xingtai was a little passive in Hequ.Even though Li Tong was very angry because of this, he treated Murong Zhong as dead, even if he was still alive, as long as he dared to enter the control area of ​​the platform, he must be killed.

But the problem is that Murong Zhong is not dead, and he is still alive and well in God. Although Xingtai wrote a letter to the imperial court to severely punish Murong Zhong, the imperial court has not yet officially responded to this, and presumably there will be no official response. .

Without the cooperation of Murong Zhong, the King of Tuyuhun, the only people that Xingtai can call on at the moment are the scattered Tuyuhun remnants from the Longyou prefectures, and without the official cooperation of King Qinghai, many plans have suffered setbacks.

In addition to Murong Zhong who fled, the court also had a slight intention of targeting in other respects.For example, during the coup in Shendu last year, General Zuo Yulin Qu Chongyu, who cooperated with Li Tong in capturing the North Gate, died of a serious illness before.

Qu Chongyu was a descendant of the king of Gaochang. After entering the Tang Dynasty, he took over the title of the king of Jiaohe County. Since he died, his heir should inherit the title.But now more than half a year has passed, and the imperial court still has not given a formal conferment.

Of course, it is not good to judge from this because of the close relationship between Qu Chongyu and King Yong, the court deliberately made things difficult. After all, Qu Chongyu himself played a disgraceful role in the process of Wu Zhou's transition to Tang, and he was not very friendly to Li Tang's clan.Now that the Tang industry is revived, it is inevitable to face a problem of settling accounts after the fall.

But Li Tong's grievance lies in that when he returned from Longyou, when Qu Chongyu's wife and children came to the door crying, he also went to the court to speak out, but the court also didn't pay much attention to his performance, and only replied that the court had its own rules and regulations. In principle, it is good for King Yong to specialize in Taiwan affairs, directly implying that he is nosy.

Not only did the imperial court not cooperate in this aspect, but it also seemed to be tit-for-tat, which caused quite a lot of trouble to Li Tong.His old friends, the Goguryeo survivors, were very worried about this. The Goguryeo nobles headed by Izumi Nanchan expressed several times that they hoped that they could transfer to Chang'an and directly work in Xingtai.

Li Tong has not responded to this, because considering many things in the Northeast a few years later, especially the Khitan rebellion, the power of these Goguryeo survivors is still needed.It is one aspect of his discord with the imperial court, but he can't really draw out his salary from the bottom of the pot, so that the imperial court does not have enough strength to respond, and the Khitan people are allowed to mess up the whole of Hebei.

In the final analysis, these predicaments are due to the fact that Xingtai does not have great righteousness. It can neither use force to deal with some situations, but also has many restrictions. It is inevitable to neglect some issues.

Ye Li, the princess of the Fan Kingdom, directly stated that she would dedicate the title to King Yong instead of the court. If the possibility that she was instigated by the dignitaries of the Fan Kingdom to provoke her to fight with the court would be quite rare for Li Tong. solidarity.

Li Tong also understands that if he accepts the offer from the princess of the Fan Kingdom now, then it will not be a matter of him playing poor to the court, but the court will directly trouble him. Although the princess of the Fan Kingdom Her identity is a little watery, but after all, she is also a princess recognized by the King of Fan.

If Li Tong stepped over the court and accepted his offer privately, it would be a more vicious event than marrying this princess.

It is true that Xingtai and the imperial court are at odds, but in the free time, Li Tong still does not want to directly provoke the imperial court's authority because of foreign forces. He even resents the interference of forces outside the Tang system in his disputes with the imperial court.

But it has to be said that the timing of this fan girl's choice is very ingenious, at least for now Li Tong needs to let the court feel his works of grace and power in the foreign group.

Murong Zhong doesn't have a platform in his eyes, so he is protected by you.Now Lao Tzu will directly take in a Princess of Fan who has no eyes on the imperial court but only sees King Yong.If the imperial court continues to protect Murong Zhong, then don't blame me for making Xi Mian's tribute disappear, and all of them will be my slaves!

"The princess kindly agrees, if I refuse to comply with the etiquette, it will hurt the friendship of this trip. The princess of the feudal city will take care of herself, but I will share with the princess the misfortunes and dangers of the eastern region of the country. There are so many people in the village, There is no need to worry about the future and vitality, but to implement politics and the people, without distinction between internal and external."

With this in mind, Li Tong raised his hand to accept the booklet presented by the princess of the Fan Kingdom, and had a preliminary idea of ​​how to annex and manage this territory in the future.

The princess of the Fan Kingdom was new to Chang'an, so she may not have a deep understanding of the disputes between Xingtai and the imperial court, but this act of contributing to her role did show that she has a rather keen intuition.This made Li Tong firmer in his plan to keep him in the middle school for a long time. He would not work hard and only make wedding dresses for others.

Chapter 0674 Tang Wang Boda, give me calm

Ye Ali's act of devotion made the atmosphere of the following banquet cheerful and somewhat weird.

The main reason for the joy was that Wu Youyi actively warmed up the scene there. As long as King Yong was present, he would have no reserve or airs at all, and even took the initiative to enter the venue to sing and dance some of King Yong's old works with the actors.

This also made other people put down their airs. Li Tong even played several musical instruments and led the crowd to play a few songs.

As for eccentricity, it goes much deeper.The guests present, both men and women, have different identities and structures, and they all have their own insights from what happened just now.

Through the fact that King Yong accepted the donation from the princess of Fan Kingdom, the officials of Xingtai realized that His Royal Highness Yong Wang urgently needed greater autonomy in dealing with the barbarians in Fan Kingdom, so that they no longer paid much attention to the court's opinion.

It is conceivable that the future government orders and measures of Daxingtai in this regard will inevitably be tougher and more powerful.Regardless of the attitudes of the barbarians on this front, the conflict between Daxingtai and the imperial court will definitely become more profound because of this.

Regarding this point, the officials and assistants of the Xingtai had no lack of worry in their hearts, but they also had faint expectations.Although the imperial court was extraordinarily gracious and honored, allowing King Yong to formally divide and rule Shaanxi, but his attitude towards Daxingtai was far from friendly.

Previously, when Daxingtai was first established, the personnel were overwhelmed and there was no clue.Facing the constraints and oppression of the imperial court in all aspects, they did not have enough energy and power to deal with it.

But now, the administrative situation in Xingtai has been basically straightened out, and the internal and external military structure has also taken shape. After all, King Yong did not disappoint his followers.

The men were thinking about the influence of the general situation of the court, but the feelings of some wives present were more delicate and complicated.

Although the princess of the Fan Kingdom kept saying that she had no personal affair, King Yong had such power and demeanor. In all fairness, with such a person in front of him, what kind of young woman in the world would not be tempted?

After King Yong returned to Chang'an, the situation in the pass became more and more stable following the victory in Qinghai. Since the second half of the year, the number of officials and eunuchs who moved to Chang'an has increased sharply.

Aside from men's confidence and enthusiasm for Daxingtai's rule, women are keenly aware that there are more and more young women in Chang'an City, so that the price of cosmetics in both cities is rising day by day. There are beautiful flowers blooming, and the fragrant wind blows.The intention is self-evident.

In fact, for some well-to-do wives who abide by the etiquette, they are really not very interested in King Yong's criteria for choosing a spouse.

Not to mention the concubine Zheng who was still staying in Shendu and was born in a famous family in the Central Plains, the two female relatives who are now following the Chang'an Wangfu, Tang Ruren is only from a small family in Guanzhong, and Yang Ruren is even more shabby, and he is from a merchant in Central Sichuan.

Although the two children have their own attractive appearances, their backgrounds obviously cannot be respected.This also shows that King Yong's family style is slightly corrupted, not rigorous enough, and he is a lustful person who is greedy for appearances.

If the two children were not of high birth, at least they were genuine Tang people.But now, even such a barbarian woman from a barbarian place is expressing her passion for King Yong, which makes the wives somewhat unacceptable.

Although King Yong didn't stick to trifles, his fame, power and demeanor were undeniable and admirable.Even if there is an empty seat in the inner court, there are women from the Tang family eagerly looking forward to it, how can foreigners from other countries be allowed to make greedy demands!

Therefore, although the atmosphere of the following banquet was cheerful and lively, the host here, Ye Ali, the Princess of Fanbang, was treated coldly.The men's focus was on King Yong, and it was also inconvenient for them to chat enthusiastically with the princess.

As for the women, they were obviously repelled and isolated. They all gathered beside the two children, talking about various fashions in the two capitals and anecdotes about wealthy families, and completely ignored the princess of the Fan Kingdom.

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours, the Princess of the Fan Kingdom was alone in Beijing, and there was no man to host the reception, so it was not easy to bother her all night.As King Yong got up to declare his return to the mansion, the banquet came to an end.

Before leaving, Li Tong asked about some small things in life, and arranged for a regular attendant from the University of the West to take over the princess' family chancellor temporarily.

Of course it's not Yang Xu, this old boy is a typical villain, he has too many thoughts and is out of scale, if he is really allowed to stay here, with the scheming and tricks of the princess of the Fan Kingdom, he may even be in the Xidan Palace in the next day. The pattern and path are all inquired clearly.

At the same time, Li Tong also signaled that the Princess of the Fan Kingdom would go to Xingtai some day to formally discuss the issue of how to deal with her fiefdom.Although he personally accepted the princess's offer, he couldn't really treat it as a retainer. Some future issues still needed to be followed up and dealt with.

However, Li Tong's vision for the Eastern Region of the Fan Kingdom has a very strong personal style, and the officials may not be able to fully understand and approve it, so the actual implementation still requires the strong cooperation of the Princess of the Fan Kingdom.

After seeing off His Royal Highness King Yong and all the guests, Ye Ali returned to the mansion, the seats were empty, and the luxurious hall was unavoidably lonely.She stood at the entrance of the hall for a while, seeing the servants busy clearing away the leftovers, she didn't go in anymore, and went straight to the living room.

The style of the entire mansion is mainly luxurious, and so is the living room.It’s just that compared with the opulent nobility of the central hall, the furnishings of the living room are more restrained, and the utensils don’t have too much jewelry, but both the material and the craftsmanship are also cherished and full of ingenuity.

Without the presence of outsiders, only a few members of the room were Ye Ali's confidantes brought from the Fan Kingdom. Ye Ali finally let go of his guard, threw himself on the soft quilt of the incense couch, and stretched a long stretch. Lazy, and then sighed in Tibetan: "After experiencing a lot today, I understand why Da Lun Qinling never forgets his life in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of daily life, such enjoyment, is the real situation of the nobles in the world!"

The female general standing in front of the couch couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The nobles of the Tang country don't have to worry about the fat and short hair of the cattle and sheep in the pasture. materials."

After Ye Ali heard the words, he laughed, nodded and said: "This is not bad, what I have said along the way, the fertile soil in the territory of the Tang Dynasty is continuous, and the people live in towns, and there are more than [-] people like Chang'an. In a city, as long as the people in power and the rulers of the world are not fools, and the fields and labor are always used, what kind of difficulties can there be?

Not to mention that the land of China is not only passed down from the Tang Dynasty. The dynasty may rise and fall, but the etiquette and laws can be passed down for a long time. How can our country be compared?The Sitano family has led the country for a short time, and has been unable to contain all kinds of disputes in the country. If it was in the past, they could still rely on the shade and be careful to survive.But now everyone knows that our country is fierce. Once Tang is in power, it will no longer tolerate our country's superiority on the plateau. "

"My lord seems to have a high opinion of the Tang Kingdom. It is true that the country is rich and prosperous, but our country was born in a difficult situation, and the manpower is fierce and usable. Just relying on Qinling alone, the Tang Kingdom was almost defeated. The defeat of the Qinghai War was only because of the country. Divide the troops in the middle and not help, otherwise the outcome is still unpredictable."

The female general still had a strong sense of identification with her own country, and she couldn't help but retort when she heard her master praised the Tang country but belittled her own country to nothing.

Ye Ali smiled again after hearing the words, and sighed: "Sam, you only talk about being weak and defeated, isn't that the case in the Tang Kingdom? The power and position in his country have changed, and what His Royal Highness King Yong only leads is a corner of the empire. That's all. The Tang State also has a wider Hebei, Central Plains, Jiangnan and Lingnan, and the power of these figures has not been used in Qinghai. What's more, King Yong also divided his troops to attack the Turks in Mobei before the battle. It's a big win..."

Hearing all kinds of things from the master, the female general has no way to refute. She is not proficient in Tang dialect, and she was deaf and dumb after entering Tang for a long time. She really doesn't have a deep understanding of Tang country.

However, when she heard the master's words that she must be called King Yong, the female general couldn't help but frowned. All the people are dedicated to King Yong of the Tang Kingdom? Although the Eastern Territory is not an inherent world leader of the master's family, it is also exchanged with Ye Ru. The master dedicated it to outsiders like this. How can the descendants call it home?

In the past, the Lord was so strong in the country, made many enemies, and was even forced to lose his foothold in the country. Isn't it just to protect the family property from being invaded by others?Why is it that in the Tang country now, instead of waiting for others to ask for it, why don't you take the initiative to give it to others? "

The female general took a deep breath and continued: "The Tang State is indeed outstanding in appearance, far superior to the middle-aged and middle-aged youths, and he treats the Lord with kindness and courtesy. But, but he is an outsider after all, and is sought after by everyone in the Tang State. My great king, even if there is a momentary love, he will never devote himself to protecting the lord for a long time. He came to visit today, and he brought two ladies, who are not much different from the lord... Those nobles from the Tang Dynasty Wife, what is their attitude towards the lord? Tang people, from the bottom of their hearts, look down on us barbarians, even if the lord donates the land, how well can they keep it?"

Once the female general opened the conversation, she spoke eloquently, it can be seen that these words have been accumulated in her heart for a long time.

Listening to his words, Ye Ali was silent for a long time, with a look of sadness in his eyes, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Sam, how can I not understand what you said? Seeing that His Royal Highness King Yong, I really feel from the bottom of my heart that if I need to choose a spouse in this life, it must be a natural choice. But let alone that I am just a barbarian, what qualifications do I have because of the cruel ethics of my family? What face do you have to dedicate yourself to such a character?

The middle school enfeoffed me the Eastern Territory, and they had no good intentions at all. Not to mention that Zanpu and Dalun couldn't tolerate me, I'm afraid that my mother would also find it hard for me to cut off her Sun Bo.Even if I don't offer it, how long can I keep the Eastern Territory alone?I don't negotiate with people in the country because what I have is far superior to them. Once they have the hope of possessing it, they will definitely steal and harm me with all their strength.

But Tang Guofu leads the four poles, and what I have is actually not important to His Royal Highness Yong.The Chinese are murderers in the wild, they can draw their swords and kill for a lamb.But the owner of the ranch, who has a herd of cattle and horses in his stable, lost a yak and didn't even bother to look for it.I entrust it to His Royal Highness Yong, so that I can be more calm.As for talking about personal feelings, I know that I don't deserve it, and even if that King Yong wanted to, I would be ashamed to avoid it, not to mention it wouldn't be..."

The female general thought that her lord's mind was deluded, so she gave this advice, but after hearing Ye Ali's answer, she couldn't help but paused and said, "Why is the lord not worthy? No matter how outstanding the king of Tang is, he is always Human beings, as long as they are human beings, my Patriarch is worthy!"

Hearing this, Ye Ali was delighted again, lying on the couch with a slender figure, and couldn't help sighing: "Tang country should not be entered lightly, now I can understand Dalun's mentality, everyone has requirements for himself, seeing the world It is the most beautiful, and I will never give in to it. The water and soil in this place support people, Sam, you must take good care of it, and I will only stay with you for the rest of my life."

Chapter 0675 The eastern region is tasteless, the army is difficult to pass

After accepting the books and books presented by him in the residence of the Princess of the Fan Kingdom in Guanglufang, Li Tong also took the time to learn more about the specific location and scope of the so-called Eastern Region of the Fan Kingdom.

When it comes to Datang's understanding and records of the Zhou border area, even Li Tong, who came from later generations, has to give a thumbs up for this, which is really informative.

The openness and inclusiveness of the Tang Dynasty are not only fully represented by the camel caravans in the two cities and the orchids selling wine in Danglong.

Whenever a foreign visitor came from afar, if he needed official reception, the first thing he cared about was not what kind of local things he brought to offer, but where his country was located, what its customs and population were, and how far it was from the Tang Dynasty.All such situations are recorded by officials, and the contents of the records are summarized and stored properly.

Not only the official attitude is like this, but the folks are also full of curiosity about the unknown surrounding areas. They are not blindly guarding against foreign things, but actively understanding and selectively accepting them.

This kind of curiosity about the unknown is quite rare in the regime of farming civilization.If it is said that Qin and Han Zhuang were pioneering, then the Sui and Tang Dynasties became the central area of ​​the entire world in the Middle Ages through this strong self-confidence.

However, after the end of the Middle Ages, this kind of external exploration and exploration of unknown areas has turned into a restrained attitude, with no more curiosity and no more aggressiveness.Until the end of the feudal era, it became more completely ossified into a kind of arrogance, which has lost the cognition of the whole world and the accurate evaluation of itself.

Regarding the detailed understanding of the Eastern Region of the Fan Kingdom, the materials Li Tong read were not the records of this dynasty, but some pictures and books of the former Sui Dynasty.In the early days of the dynasty, the focus was on attacking Turks and Goguryeo. With the rise of Tubo and the annexation of Tuyuhun, it became a serious border problem. The focus of attention was also concentrated on Longyou and the northwest of central Sichuan, which directly bordered on Tubo.

In the eastern part of Sichuan and Tibet, there are a large number of Sheng and Qiang tribes living together, the situation is chaotic, and the interaction with the Tang Dynasty officials is not close, so there are not many new records.

However, during the pre-Sui period, the long-term turmoil in the Northern and Southern Dynasties ended, and the Central Plains Empire was recreated, with the majestic momentum of all nations coming to court, and the recorded situation of Hu Qing is more detailed and rich.

By looking through these old books, Li Tong also learned that in the area of ​​the princess of the Fan Kingdom, there were still more than a dozen states, large and small, in the Sui Dynasty, such as Fuguo, Dongnuguo, etc. Tribute to Sui Dynasty records.

After learning about this, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although this dynasty has been established for nearly a hundred years, there is still a big gap compared with the most prosperous period of the Sui Dynasty.This is not to say that the previous emperors were incapable. The key is that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has been little time for long-term recuperation.

During the reign of Wude, it was still the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the world's heroes were constantly fighting for hegemony, and the savings of the Sui Dynasty were almost exhausted in this troubled times war.In the early years of Zhenguan, the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan invaded Guanzhong fiercely, forcing Emperor Taizong to sign an alliance under the city.

And just a few years later, when the national strength of the Tang Dynasty recovered slightly, a great war was launched to attack the Eastern Turks, and then Xue Yantuo, the Western Regions, Goguryeo, etc., almost every year without fighting.

Qin Huang had the survivors of the sixth generation, Han Wu had the rule of Wen Jing, and even Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had a founder's reserve, and Tang Taizong Li Shimin, except for a broken world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, was only burdened with the original sin of the Xuanwumen Incident , and finally created the Great Tang Dynasty!

Later generations often used some relatively simple indicators such as registered households and tribute taxes to demonstrate that the rule of Zhenguan was a fake prosperous age and did not deserve the prestigious evaluation in historical records. This is really a bastard's bastard.

During the Zhenguan period, people's livelihood was indeed not as good as some periods of full recuperation, but this is not a reason to belittle the rule of Zhenguan. Tang Taizong's Wenzhi and martial arts are indeed the best among emperors, and the Mingjun among Mingjun.It is far from being able to touch porcelain like Emperor Sui Yang, a subjugated king who is more grandiose than practical.

After learning about the situation in the Eastern Region of the Fan Kingdom, Li Tong also understood why the princess of the Fan Kingdom was so generous, and donated all her seals and collars after only seeing her for a few moments. .

On the contrary, if Xingtai wants to use this situation to impose constraints and disrupt Tubo, it is necessary to increase support for the Tubo princess in terms of government orders and personal status and treatment.

Of course, this is not an unacceptable problem for Li Tong. Since he has decided to accept the princess of the Fan Kingdom, he has already planned to treat her with courtesy, and make her a princess of the Fan Kingdom. A role model for military leaders.

So, a few days later, Li Tong sent someone into the workshop and invited the Princess of the Fan Kingdom to come to the imperial city to formally discuss the management of her fiefdom.

Finally, he was able to formally go to the Xingtai to make a statement, and Ye Ali was very happy in his heart, and soon entered the imperial city under the guidance of the envoy.

The Imperial City is located in the Political Affairs Hall of Menxia Province. Apart from King Yong, there are several other people present in the hall, waiting for the arrival of the princess together.

One of them is the former prime minister Lu Yuanfang, and Li Tong plans to send Lu Yuanfang to Yizhou as the chief governor of the governor's office.As for Li Guangshun, King of Han, he had family issues and he didn't want to travel far away in Sichuan, so he stayed in Beijing for a long time to help Xijing Guozijian sacrifice wine and Yang Zaisi to prepare for the election.

Ye Ali went out this time, because he was going to talk about business, so he was dressed in a neutral dress with a lapel collar, and he had a heroic demeanor.Although it is a female body, it does not violate the overall atmosphere of the hall.

After meeting each other and exchanging greetings, Li Tong asked directly: "The Fan Kingdom grants the Eastern Region to the princess. How much autonomy can the princess get? If the Fan Kingdom decides to take it back, what other formal measures are there besides swords and soldiers?" means."

When it comes to formal topics, Ye Ali's spirit is also lifted, and after hearing the words, he explained: "The government and government regulations of the Tutu are different from those of the Tang Dynasty. Alloted territories and people are also hereditary. Although treason is a serious crime, Zanpu cannot be punished by private soldiers. It is necessary to gather kings, ministers and lords to discuss an alliance oath, and then make an oath with the permission of the masses. Only kill this family and do not involve The rest. For the crime of treason, there is also the difference between killing the head and exterminating the heirs..."

Ye Ali explained in detail the traditions and formal regulations of the Tubo Kingdom, which also gave Li Tong a more thorough understanding of the Tubo regime.

Previously, he thought that Tubo was a relatively simple military regime, but he heard that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers was such a model, which seemed to be more inclined to the feudal aristocratic union in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although Zanpu has the supreme status, he cannot centralize power in one person, giving land and population to the nobles in exchange for the loyalty of these nobles.In addition to hereditary fiefdoms, nobles also have different degrees of legal immunity according to their status, and even such serious crimes as treason, as long as they are strong enough, have room for discussion.

Of course, the feudal system of the pre-Zhou Dynasty still had a set of rituals and laws as constraints. Although the rituals and music collapsed, the princes competed for hegemony, and the emperor took self-respect, Tubo was still different from it as a whole.

The nobles in Tubo are mainly military nobles, such as the Gar family, which has been in power for decades. Although everyone in the country hates it from top to bottom, there is nothing they can do about it.Although Ye Ali came from an established clan, he was forced to have nowhere to live in the middle school.

Ye Ali's recounting of these was mainly to explain that even if the Tubo royal family could not tolerate her, the confiscated territory could not be easily taken back.Unless she has completely betrayed Zanpu, or her actions have violated the overall interests of the Tubo nobles, she and her descendants can inherit the land of the Eastern Region forever.

Although she surrendered her Eastern Region registration to King Yong, this was not a betrayal of Zanpu. After all, she entered Tang Dynasty and King Zanpu ordered her to marry Tang.

Of course, although Ye Ali introduced the tradition of the oath of alliance in Tubo very solemnly, Li Tong knew in his heart that the so-called rules were just a statement of compromise between each other when the strength of each other was not enough to directly engulf the other.If you really have enough strength, you can have no scruples, who cares about that.

Ye Ali's eastern fiefdom is roughly the Xikang Province in the later period of the Republic of China, sandwiched between Sichuan and Tibet.

The reason why Tubo enfeoffed this piece of territory to Ye Ali at the moment is also because this piece of land is located between the Hengduan Mountains, even if Tubo wants to implement effective management, it is very difficult.

Especially from the east of Kangyanchuan, there are steep valleys and rugged roads. Even if Tubo stationed troops there, they would only collect some materials.Moreover, the local Tuqiang tribe continued to turmoil. After careful calculation, the garrison and the consumption of counter-insurgency were somewhat beyond their means.
