Crown Tang emperor

Because it was a family banquet to welcome the saint's return, Li Shouli did not allow too many concubines to attend, but the princess Dugu and several concubines who were added to the clan and were given life wives entered the palace.But even so, Li Shouli's family still occupied a full three seats, and they were the most powerful among the clans.

When Li Tong saw the attitude of Li Shouli's family, he couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced. He lingered on his own ladies, and secretly decided that he must do a few big fights next.

Anyway, after the First World War in Qinghai, the imperial court will definitely have to digest and recuperate for a period of time, and it will be easier to handle military and political affairs.What's more, he also specially collected a batch of Western tonics, and all the ladies are also hot and thirsty.

Compared with the prosperous Li Shouli family, Li Guangshun's family is slightly weaker.Because Li Tong decided to take advantage of the situation to suppress the southern barbarians, and Li Guangshun would stay in Sichuan for a period of time, the only ones present at the family banquet were Tong Wangfei and a pair of young children. in one seat.

When Li Tong left Beijing at the beginning of the year, this little girl was already pregnant with Liujia, and she gave birth to a boy safely in late spring, which naturally made the family very happy.The only thing that is not beautiful is Li Youniang's careless mother-in-law, Princess Taiping, who is still hiding in Hedong and dare not return to Beijing.

However, the queen also mentioned that she has already sent people to Hedong to welcome Princess Taiping back, and she is already on her way, and she should be able to return to Chang'an in late July for a family reunion.

Li Tong didn't have any objections to this. His aunt was indeed able to make troubles, but she couldn't expand it to cause any major impact on current politics. Although it was annoying, but for the sake of his grandma and his sister, Can be ignored for a while.

Although Li Youniang is a mother, she is still playful.Li Tong collected some rare playthings in Longbian, and planned to bring them back to the palace to open the eyes of his children, but was taken over by Li Youniang, a woman who had no sense of elders.

Right now, half of the children in the palace, including their own children, are gathered beside the Eldest Elder Chairman, each making flattering and begging gestures, making the empress Fang's anger and blame, but Li Youniang is enjoying it, taking out utensils from time to time Show off and tease the children.

As for the brother-in-law Xue Chongxun, he has a bit of responsibility and bearing as the head of the family, his words and deeds are dignified, the frivolity of a young man is greatly restrained, and he is not shy about speaking the truth. A piece of my own thinking.

Li Tong is also quite pleased with Xue Chongxun's progress.He doesn't expect this brother-in-law to grow into a capable minister in the court, but it is enough to be able to distinguish right from wrong without losing control of the importance, and to be prosperous and happy with his sister for a lifetime.

Now the withered clans are improving, and the atmosphere of the family banquet has become more lively.Except for Li Tong and his family, British Duke Li Chongfu did not attend because he was going to the imperial mausoleum to prepare for ancestor worship, but his wife was also invited into the palace.

Li Chongfu's life experience is quite embarrassing. Although he has the care of a sage, many people in the middle of Beijing seldom have close contacts with him. Therefore, the British lady is not a famous lady, but a woman from a good and wealthy family in Beijing County. She attended the royal family banquet. It seemed a little lack of confidence, seldom uttered a word, and there was not much speech in the stuffy seat.

Although the British princess is not very eye-catching, the seat in his house has not been ignored, because there is another bright and charming woman in the seat, that is the cousin Li Bao'er who makes both Li Tong and his grandmother quite headache. .

At this time, Li Gu'er was wearing a colored dress, and her hair was tied into a lily bun that matched the beauty of a young girl. Even though she was sitting at the banquet without attracting attention, she still attracted the attention of quite a few disciples of the clan. .

Because of the royal family's deliberate cold treatment, few people know about the series of disturbances that this woman caused in the confinement earlier, and those who know do not dare to announce it.After being taken back to the mansion by the Duke of England to be disciplined for a period of time, she had a clear understanding of the situation, her words and deeds were greatly restrained, and she gradually appeared in some royal occasions.

Although there are no outrageous words or deeds, it can be seen that this woman has also carefully prepared for this family banquet. With the embellishment of clothes and makeup, she makes it more beautiful and moving. Even Tang Guifei, who is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Forbidden Palace Under the simple decoration of the plain surface, it is slightly dwarfed.

Good personnel always get more attention. When this woman appeared in the clan team, she immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Especially the young people of the clan, they looked sideways frequently, and they were more active than before, hoping to gain attention.Just thinking about the identity of this woman, these little gamecocks who know they have no destiny in this life can't help but feel sad and feel a lot of resentment.

Although it attracted the attention of the masses, Li Gu'er had a pretty face and a serious face. Apart from paying respects to saints, empress dowagers and other respected relatives, she did not pretend to be polite to anyone, like a proud swan who only wanted to be beautiful alone.

But whenever the eyes fall on the saint, especially when he notices that the saint has not paid more attention to her, there is always a bit of sadness in the corners of those beautiful eyes, and when they fall into the eyes of some young people who don't know the inside story, they secretly feel pity and distress , it is inevitable to guess who she hates?

Apart from the British family, the closest bloodlines in the palace are the North Sea King Li Chengyi brothers.

Originally, because of the late King Xiang, the Li Chengyi brothers were quite conflicted in the current situation, but as time went by, especially the victory in Qinghai brought the authority of the sage to a new peak, and many sensitive personnel factors that were earlier have also disappeared. Gradually, they became ordinary, and the special meaning of the Li Chengyi brothers gradually faded away, and they became ordinary close relatives of the clan.

Present today are Beihai King Li Chengyi and Anping King Li Longfan.As for the heir, Li Longye, he did not sit at the same table with his elder brothers, but sat next to Fang Shi, and he was even closer to King Qi and the eldest princess than his brothers. On the other hand, Wang Meichang, the grandfather, taught day and night, and deliberately alienated several brothers.

Li Longye's attitude towards things is not fruitless. Fang's scheming is not deep, and he has already regarded this well-behaved nephew as an adopted son, and even enthusiastically helped Zhang Luo visit and hire the princess.

As for the king of Beihai and the others, although they were older, they still had no idea about the marriage because they didn't get close to the elders to help them prepare. They only took in several concubines.

Linzi King Li Longji did not attend today's family banquet, but Zhaorong Yang Xi'er, who often served the Empress Dowager in the Longevity Palace, mentioned it. It seems that Linzi King has angered the Empress Dowager again recently.But what really prevented Li Longji from attending the family banquet was the county lord Li Guer's harsh words when they met at the palace gate, which made the Linzi king retreat in shame.

Li Tong was too lazy to inquire about these trivial matters, and just listened casually as a pastime.Still the same sentence, if these boys can keep themselves safe, Li Tong will not be guilty of chasing them and killing them.

There were more than a dozen other clansmen present, and the relationship could not be said to be complicated or pure. They kept their duties, laughed when they should laugh, and sang praises when they should, making the atmosphere of a normal family banquet good, full of joy and warmth.

During the banquet, Li Tong's attitude towards Xinping Wang Li Qianli was more kind than others. On the one hand, the etiquette of honoring the two fathers needs to be handled by Li Qianli, the elder of the clan, and on the other hand, it is because of Li Yi.

Li Yi is the nephew of Li Qianli, and he was born in the same line as Li Ke, the former king of Wu.This time in the battle of Qinghai, Li Yi was under the command of Guo Zhiyun, the general manager of the front, and he fought bravely and performed well, which also made Li Tong, who was already interested in cultivating Li Yi, very pleased.

As the current situation becomes more stable in the future, Tong Wang Li Guangshun and Qi Wang Li Shouli need to gradually fade out of the court and no longer assume specific high military and political positions, but the presence of clan power is still needed in the court.

Li Tong also appointed clans before, such as Changping Wang Li Sixun and Xinping Wang Li Qianli, but these old fritters always have some psychological barriers when they are appointed, and they are far inferior to Li Wei who grew up under his own training. Don't worry. .

Putting aside the influence of inherent impressions in history, this kid Li Yi dared to fight and make great achievements in this battle in Qinghai, which also made Li Tong have high hopes for him.

"In the battle of Qinghai, all the troops worked hard and made great achievements. Although Yi was young, he did not take his life as a prudence, galloped bravely to the front of the battle, and was of the highest rank. "

Hearing that the sage spoke so highly of Li Wei, all the clan members present were also full of envy when they looked at the triumphant King Xinping, and then glanced at their own sons who couldn't help squinting at the county lord Li Guer, They were even more angry, each of them secretly decided in their hearts that they must beat these useless sons and daughters a lesson after returning home.

A family banquet lasted for more than an hour. Knowing that the sage was exhausted from the journey, and also noticed that the queen and concubines were frequently looking at the dripping glass behind the corner screen of the hall, all the clan relatives also got up to say goodbye one after another.

After the banquet was over, Li Tong and the ladies sent the Empress Dowager and his aunt Fang back to the bedroom respectively, and then walked back to the queen's bedroom together.

As the distance to the Queen's bedroom got closer, the warm atmosphere gradually became more subtle. All the ladies bowed their heads and walked slowly, and none of them took the initiative to say goodbye.

Li Tong was walking in the middle, and he could even hear the sound of gold and iron refusing to give in from the rubbing of the sleeves. When he looked sideways at the queen, he could only see the corners of the queen's mouth tightly pursed, and the brows constantly whispering at him. Picking a signal is one of the few expressions of resentment.

Li Tong laughed dryly when he saw this, and turned his head to look at the ladies around him. Seeing that they were either pretending to ignore him, or staring straight at him without concealing it, he couldn't help sighing inwardly, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth again. go back.

In the affairs of the world, no matter how high or low the status is, how can there be so many blessings of being equal to others?If a man wants to keep his family harmonious, he still has to rely on his waist strength to speak!

As soon as he thought of this, his heart suddenly became strong, and he looked at the ladies and said with a smile: "I have a disease, so why don't you say good medicine! The ladies love me deeply, and they have a big strategy!"

Seeing the saint speak, the queen was expecting it, but she didn't expect to say such bold and timid words, but she couldn't help but sneered, she simply put aside her distracting thoughts, raised her hand and hugged the saint's arm, and looked at the ladies. Smiling, he said, "It is inevitable that a sage will be exhausted after a long journey. Entertainment and games need to be arranged according to our ability. Let me tell you about the housework tonight..."

Hearing that the queen said that he had to do what he could, Li Tong suddenly felt angry. He was about to say that I would beat ten of them, but all the ladies couldn't continue to follow after all, so they said goodbye and dispersed.The movements are so tacit, obviously it's not that he can't sympathize with the saint's fatigue, besides the fact that lovesickness is really inspiring, it is also regarded as a kind of emotional appeal.

But in line with the principle of not losing the battle, Li Tong still showed a look of disappointment, but before he could speak, his lips were covered by the Queen's hand: "The fire of love grows hotter with time. Don't come here." Greedy and happy, it is inevitable that scales will be lost. The spring water is raging, and poor communication will inevitably lead to flooding. Young couples, especially need to watch out for long-term love. Please let Sanlang let his concubine bear the prestige alone this night, so that he will have a clear order of serving and sleeping in the next day ..."

Speaking of this, the queen slid her fingers down to hold the palm of the saint, and traced her little finger on the palm of the palm. Her bright eyes were bright and her tongue spit out lightly: "The saint is fighting outside, so the military order is strict. The six palaces are beautiful, and the concubine is also a soldier. To test his might, he is indeed weak and invincible, if we choose another day to fight again, there will be a few stacks of dew in the veil..."

The queen's words were both persuasive and provocative, especially the seductive charm under the dignity, which made Li Tong fall in love with him. He clasped the restless little hand tightly with his backhand, and then dragged the queen Go to the bedroom.

Chapter 0959 snobbery anoints Liang, indecent

The happy time is always short, especially because of the excessive enthusiasm of the people in Chang'an, Li Tong's trip was delayed for a day on the way, and he didn't have much time to get tired of being in the harem after returning to Beijing.

There is no need to inquire about the relevant ceremonial regulations. The Tang Rites have accumulated a wealth of experience in this regard.Even if Zanpu, the Tibetan country, was directly captured in this battle in Qinghai, there is no need to worry about the lack of corresponding prisoner offering ceremony specifications for reference. At worst, the series of treatment arrangements for East Turkic Jieli Khan's entry into Tang Dynasty are slightly reduced.

Regarding how to deal with the problem of the defeated monarch of the hostile country, the officials of the Datang Rites said that we are definitely professional!

There is no need to worry too much about the ceremony, and even the issue of honoring the temple names of Li Tong's two fathers has already begun to be discussed.Nowadays, the prestige of the saint is unprecedentedly strong, and the officials in the court will never play willfully in this kind of etiquette involving deep ethics. Everything depends on the will of the saint.

The most important issues right now are the rewards after the war and the reconstruction of border order.Especially the latter, how high the degree of completion directly affects how much benefit Datang can reap in this battle in Qinghai.

Regarding this point, Li Tong is not good at arbitrariness, and needs to fully consider the long-standing tradition of border order, the current national strength of Datang, and the future arrangements for border defense affairs.

Therefore, he deliberately arranged for the monarchs of the various chieftains to follow the main force of the army to gradually withdraw, while he returned to Beijing one step ahead of time to discuss a plan with the court officials.

Therefore, after Li Tong returned to Beijing, he did not live the corrupt life of sleeping with the concubines and being lazy in the early court. He participated in the Chang Dynasty early the next morning, and after the court meeting was over, he summoned the prime ministers and chief executives. Start discussing the overall reward plan.

This battle in Qinghai not only took back the entire territory of the original Tuyuhun hometown, but also severely damaged Tubo's armed forces.Although Xikang has not been formally withdrawn, it will be used as a springboard for profound interference in Tubo's domestic politics, and the chaos in Tubo must be made to last for a longer period of time.

There is no need to repeat the significance of this war, and the rewards for domestic heroes are not a complicated issue.Although Wang Xiaojie, Tang Xiujing and other veterans followed in this battle, these veterans did not directly participate in the front-line battles, but a large number of young and strong generals emerged.

In this way, there is no need to consider too many political balancing techniques regarding the issue of rewards for meritorious warriors. The main issue is to complete the new and old iterations of the military merit system as smoothly as possible.

Therefore, when the meeting started, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious, and the prime ministers were not eager to fight for the right to speak, and fostered their own close forces in the army.Of course, this is also because of the high prestige of the saint, and he personally led the Qinghai War. As long as the generals are not bad, they will not choose to go through the prime minister's door to win special rewards.

Today, the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang include Yao Yuanchong, Zhang Renyuan, Ge Fuyuan, Yang Zaisi, Liu Youqiu, and Wang Fangqing. The former servant Zhong Lou Shide died of illness in early summer. Li Tong was in Longyou at the time, so he promoted Pei Shouzhen, who had outstanding achievements in both Hebei and Hedong. Enter the political hall.With Zhang Ren willing to return to Beijing, Pei Shouzhen succeeded Dongdu and stayed behind, and has already gone to Luoyang.

The atmosphere of the meeting was relatively relaxed, and the ministers did not raise serious issues at the beginning. Instead, Ge Fuyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, talked about some recent anecdotes and anecdotes in Beijing: "Recently, the mansion of Mr. The family of Liuzhong wanted to visit the marriage, so the disciples of Fuyanggong asked deeply, and it is said that they even sent a disciple to visit Caizhou..."

It is already a trend in Chang'an that people in the middle of the capital want to marry the heroes of the Western Expedition.Li Tong was naturally happy to see such a trend. It was against human nature to ask the ministers to be neither group nor party.

Most of the young generals in the army were excavated, promoted and cultivated by him. They each have strong influence and appeal in the current flow, which can also allow Li Tong to continue to strengthen his control over the ruling and opposition parties.

As for the interesting incident that Ge Fuyuan specifically mentioned, it also has quite rich connotations. After all, this kind of high-end occasion of the meeting of monarchs and ministers cannot be just aimless gossip.

Li Kun, governor of Caizhou, was the father of Li Yi, whom Li Tong was quite optimistic about.Li Tong's admiration for the young man of this clan was not limited to his private attitude. As early as when Shanzhou got the front-line battle report, he was full of praise for Li Yi.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. After spreading and inquiring about it, the attitude of the saint is naturally no secret.Not to mention Li Yi's own excellence, his family is also the most prominent among the various branches of the clan. Uncle Li Qianli served as Zongzheng Shaoqing in the court, and his father and uncles also served as governors in other states.

So when it comes to the golden bachelors in Chang'an City today, Li Yi is definitely among the best, and it is not surprising that he has been sought after by many aristocratic families.

As for the earnest attitude of the Fuyang family that Ge Fuyuan specifically pointed out, it is even more interesting.Duke Wei of Fuyang, who served as prime minister in Wu Zhou Dynasty, was exiled to death because he was defeated in the war against Tubo.

Although Wei Daigui was born in a well-known Jingzhao Webster family, he did not have any academic attainments. The development of his family focused on martial arts, especially his marriage with Li Tang's clan, which is also a typical Guanlong noble family.

Such a style also has advantages and disadvantages, and it is inevitable that it will be involved in the royal family struggle and rise and fall suddenly.Wei Daigui's family was successively involved in the case of Taizong's son Qi Wang Liyou and Fang Yiai's rebellion in the early years of Gaozong, which was widely affected.

But for these Guan Long nobles, the royal family still abused me thousands of times. I treat the royal family like first love, and I will post it whenever I get a chance.

Li Tong was relatively unfamiliar with Wei Daigui, but he had a good impression of his great-grandson Wei Yingwu, after all, he had copied several poems from him.As for Webster's rush to post Li Yi, he also heard about it, and it was Li Qianli's bragging mention at the family dinner yesterday.

There is another secret in this matter, which is probably the main reason why Ge Fuyuan mentioned this matter.That is, Webster is not alone in pursuing a marriage with Li Yi. Prior to this, the marriage partner the family sought was Li Chengyi, the king of the North Sea. It is said that it has reached the level of courtesy, but as a better goal appeared, they immediately gave up. Piles of marriage.

Although the North Sea King brothers are closer to the royal blood, but considering various conditions, they are not as backward as Li Yi's clan.After all, Li Yi's relatives are all in positions of power, and he himself has been appreciated and valued by the saints, so it can be said that he has a bright future.

To be honest, Li Tong couldn't get used to the behavior style of these dilapidated nobles. He tended to be popular but couldn't let go of his arrogance. He might have good intelligence, but most of it was used to find ways to get in.Even with Wei Yingwu's impression points, it's hard to feel good about it.

However, he is not in a position to express his views on such a trivial matter. Judging by Li Qianli's complacent look when he talked about this matter yesterday, he is probably quite satisfied with this marriage, and even used it to suppress the Beihai King brothers. And the meaning of expressing merit to the saint.

Li Tong didn't care much about Li Qianli's careful thinking, but even though he was optimistic about Li Yi, he didn't need to bypass his parents to arrange the marriage.

But now that Ge Fuyuan talked about this matter in a manner of chatting, Li Tong simply followed the topic and said with a smile: "Both college students should marry, female college students should marry, and getting married and starting a business is the foundation of order in human nature. But it is precisely because of this , it is necessary to pay special attention to the education of folk customs and ethics. It is inevitable for the people to discuss marriage customs when visiting nobles and asking about wealth. However, the imperial court’s use of martial arts fighters to Jingbian should not become the eyeliner of unruly people! They must be brought to justice according to the law, and they should not indulge and breed cunning and evil schemes!"

Although the sage's tone was not harsh, the officials heard it and felt awe-inspiring in their hearts.This has elevated the resulting disputes to the level of religious customs. If anyone gets into trouble with officials because he dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and one woman has multiple marriages, it will be a lot of fun.

Ge Fuyuan was originally worried that Jingzhao Webster's behavior might revive the clan's sentiments that had just calmed down, so he specifically mentioned this matter. When he heard the sage made such a tone, he hurriedly Leaning back and bowing his head, he said: "The sage has thought carefully, and the ministers must follow this intention carefully, and never let the weather be lost!"

The simple dialogue between the monarch and his ministers has a profound impact.On the one hand, the sage did not treat the persons involved in the examples given by Ge Fuyuan differently because of their special life experiences, which showed that the sage would not abuse the heirs of the late prime minister unkindly. gratified.

On the other hand, people like Jingzhao Webster who want to return to the current situation by relying on luck, this way is completely blocked.

Of course, the folk marriages between men and women are not affected, and it doesn't interfere much with the current situation that the soldiers of the Western Expedition are highly sought after, but a family like Webster's is so arrogant that he is picky about the royal children and looks ugly. , will undoubtedly be greatly affected.

Skipping this trivial matter, the next step is the formal discussion on the rewards of the officers and men.Rewards for great achievements by the imperial court are mainly reflected in the aspects of officials, nobles and property.

Among them, the reward of title and property is not a big problem.The imperial court has its own set of standards for conferring titles, and Li Tong does not intend to overestimate the standard. The warriors here are mainly young and strong soldiers. If the conferring is too excessive, the next official position arrangement will be somewhat difficult. .

Moreover, the recovery of Qinghai is only the beginning, and there are still many places to use in the future. It is also necessary to keep these young generals with the desire and goal to continue to improve.

As for the rewards of money and objects, the scale of tens of thousands of soldiers is indeed quite stressful for the current imperial court.But the capture of Jiyu City in the first battle was enough to cover most of the rewards.The remaining gaps are not considered a big problem, and it can definitely be rewarded for meritorious service and rewarded for hard work.

The real highlight is the promotion and adjustment of official positions, which will have an important and direct impact on the military policy strategy and internal and external structure of the imperial court.

Chapter 0960 Qinghai League

There is no doubt that the recovery of Qinghai and the severe damage to Tubo brought major changes to the border defense structure of the Tang Dynasty.As a new opponent emerging in modern times, Tubo, which rose on the plateau, brought pressure and harm to Datang even surpassed several old enemies in the traditional sense.

Prior to this, Datang had blocked the Turkic Khan's forces in the north of the desert through the three-surrendered city offensive and defensive system in Heshuo. Find out an effective route that can bypass the three surrendered cities and go south in a large scale.

In the Northeast, the original Khitan rebellion that caused chaos in Hebei due to Wu Zhou's wrong strategy was extinguished ahead of time. Zhang Renyuan then operated a series of tough measures, not only re-establishing the order of detention in the Northeast, but also extinguishing the budding Bohai Sea. China, the future so-called Haidong prosperous country, firmly blocked the forces of Silla in the southern part of the peninsula.

It can be said that today's Datang has completely reversed the leaky frontier defense state that Li Tong took over when he took over. For the time being, there are no enemies around that can threaten the prosperity and decline of the national fortune. Big adjustment.

At any time, if you forget the war, you will be in danger, and if you blindly use military force, it will bring a huge burden to the domestic people's livelihood and politics.How to grasp the balance among these is an absolutely unrelenting proposition for the ruler.

The first personnel appointment announced by Li Tong was to call Meng Lingqing, the general commander of the Qinghai campaign, into the court to serve as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. As Zhang Renyuan's deputy, he continued to promote the separation of military and government affairs in the court.

Fu Meng Lingqing was the deputy of Hei Chi Changzhi in the original Heyuan Army, and he was a veteran and experienced.Although the battle in Qinghai did not have a very prominent battle formation, it has the merit of scheduling and has a good strategic view of the overall situation.

Taking advantage of the aftermath of the Qinghai War, Li Tong planned to completely establish the authority and status of the Privy Council in charge of the military in the next few years, including the selection of military candidates, regiment training in various states, rotation of frontier generals, reserve of horses and equipment, military stationing, and border and military affairs. All matters such as border strategy offensive and defensive are included in the Privy Council.

Of course, this kind of profound reform cannot be achieved overnight. After all, the political structure of the three provinces and six ministries was finally formed after a long period of evolution and adaptation.Therefore, the Privy Council, as the important division of the imperial court in handling the country's military affairs, should keep up with the necessary separation of powers and checks and balances while increasing its powers.

Although the scope of authority of the Privy Council was to be expanded, Li Tong did not intend to add too many redundant staff to the court, and mainly dismantled and merged the existing ministries.

Generals training institutions such as Yingyuan Leopard Workshop that already existed, as well as personnel institutions related to military affairs such as Military Weapons Supervision, Taipu Temple, and Sinong Temple, will gradually be brought under the control of the Privy Council. , Gradually abolished the original organization and became a branch of the Privy Council.

Zhang Renyuan couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard a series of adjustment plans made by the sage for the Privy Council, and repeatedly expressed that he would try his best to implement the relevant ideas of the sage.

As for the other prime ministers and chief executives, their expressions were more or less abnormal.Such a large-scale job adjustment has touched the foundation of the distribution of power between the DPRK and China, and its intensity far exceeds the changes in the titles of various divisions during the Wu Zhou Revolution.

However, the expansion of the powers of the Privy Council is mainly concentrated in the administrative temple supervisors other than the three provinces and six ministries, and the impact on the main structure of the government is not too great.Even the important military division of the Ministry of War has not been included in the adjustment sequence for the time being.Even if there will be running-in and collision during the adjustment process, it is still within the controllable range.

Longyou's husband, Meng Lingqing, returned to the imperial court, and the duties and powers of several other generals were also adjusted.Xue Na, who originally sat in the Jiuqu of the Yellow River, served as the left-behind envoy of Qinghai, building a new front line of confrontation with Tubo along the Jishi Mountain line.

In the future, Longyou will carry out a large-scale withdrawal of troops and reduce a series of military investment made by the imperial court in this area.Xue Na's Qinghai left-behind envoy is the highest military officer in Qinghai, and the scale of Qinghai's garrison is maintained at [-] elite Tang troops and [-] Hucheng.

At the beginning of the Qinghai War, Li Tong once again played the old card of the Tuyuhun royal family, but the facts proved that the Tuyuhun royal family no longer had enough appeal in Qinghai, so of course he would not do anything more to help Tuyuhun restore the country, and even He even planned to take back the title of King of Qinghai.

Aiming at this problem, the ministers also conducted some discussions, and finally decided that King Murong Wan of Qinghai should be named King of Qinghai County instead.Although the difference is only one word, it completely wiped out Tuyuhun's independence as a Jiji regime.

Although it was a bit heartless to do so, Murong Wan had nothing to complain about, but if he performed better in this battle in Qinghai, the imperial court would not do so aggressively.Since the ability is not enough, you have to bear the price.

Of course, now that Qinghai is newly restored, it is not yet suitable to completely abandon the Tuyuhun royal family.Those Qiangs who had recently surrendered in Qinghai also needed the existence of a catfish to inspire their respect to Datang.

Therefore, although Murong Wan lost his reputation, he was also favored to enter the court and serve as prime minister to cooperate with the court's next series of adjustments to Qinghai.

Murong Wan was not a domineering hero at all, and he had lived in the Tang Dynasty for a long time. He was more likely to be happy to accept the treatment of being a prime minister and staying in Qinghai as a puppet King Tuyuhun.

In doing so, Li Tong also borrowed from the practice of Tubo in history.In history, after solving the major problem of the Gar family, Tubo appointed Tuyuhun Mohe Khan as Dalun to ensure that Qinghai was still under the rule of Tuyuhun, and the connection was even closer than before.

When Murong Wan entered the court, Qinghai no longer established a nominal ruler, but replaced it with a league for management.The local tribes have a certain number of seats and the right to speak in the alliance according to the number of tribes they own. In the future, Datang will directly manage Qinghai through dialogue with this alliance.

At the same time, the seats in this alliance also determined the ratio of the tribes in Qinghai to fulfill some of the obligations that Datang needed to fulfill.

After regaining Qinghai, Datang abolished a series of expropriation and tyranny that Tubo or the Gar family had implemented in Qinghai, only retaining the obligations of paying tribute and recruiting.

The tribute is divided into two seasons, spring and autumn, and the amount of tribute is not high. Each tribute person gets a piece of silk.This kind of tribute collection is definitely not a big burden, and it is not too mandatory, because Datang has no specific population figures of these tribes at all. To refuse to pay, of course, the premise is to give up the right to speak in the league meeting.
