Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Asia was shocked, and it saw a strange and epic China in him: it would never ask for peace with the barbarians, nor would it pay them to withdraw their troops with a lot of money.It was Tang Taizong who turned the tide, defeated them, and made them fear China. ——(French) René Grousse "Prairie Empire" Zhenguan four years (630), Yangchun March. The letters written by tribal chiefs all over the world to Li Shimin have a unified inscription: Emperor Tian Khan. This is the title of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and this is the title of the King of the World. Not long after Li Shimin accepted Tian Khan's claim, Li Jing and others returned to Chang'an with Jieli and other prisoners of war.He didn't see Xieli, but called Ashina Simo, who Li Shimin liked very much.When everyone else abandoned Xieli, he was the only one who followed Xieli closely until the moment he was caught.

Li Shimin announced that Ashina Simo would be appointed General You Xiuwu. In April, when Shuntian was downstairs, with the sound of gongs and drums, Li Shimin introduced Jieli upstairs. Today's Xieli was crying very hard, he knew that his life was not long, and he just waited for Li Shimin to finish talking and move his head.Li Shimin made everyone else quiet, cleared his throat, and began to accuse: "Xie Li, you have inherited the karma of your father and brother, indulging in lust to death, this is the first; "You have formed an alliance with my Tang Dynasty many times, but you have repeatedly betrayed the contract, this is the second;

"You are strong and warlike, causing mourning and suffering, and the people are suffering. This is the third; "You ravaged my crops, plundered my children, separated my family, and forced my flesh and blood to separate. This is the fourth; "I forgive your sins and let you manage it well, but you have not come to visit me for a long time, this is the fifth. "Each of these five items is enough to put you to death. What else do you have to say?" Xieli didn't know what to say, he just kowtowed and wept. Xieli couldn't control his emotions anymore, and started to twitch, lying on the ground unable to lift his head.Then, Li Shimin's expression relaxed, he looked at Jieli, and his tone suddenly became peaceful, "But, after the alliance of the bridge, you will no longer invade the whole country, so I will spare you!"

After hearing this, Jieli was overwhelmed with emotion. He imitated the Han people, slammed his head on the ground hard, and retreated under the attention of everyone. Obviously, Li Shimin was looking for a step down for Jieli, and not wanting to invade the whole country became the only reason for Jieli's death. This step was absolutely impressive.After Jieli went down, he was no longer guarded, but was arranged to sit at a banquet and became an official of Chang'an.He didn't even think that it was a very outrageous thing that he didn't die, and now he could still sit at the banquet, drink and eat meat.

This world is really magical. This world is indeed miraculous. Jieli wiped away his tears and saw someone sitting not far from Li Shimin with a calm expression. He had seen this person before, it was Li Yuan. Yes, it was Li Yuan. You could tell from his wrinkled mother-in-law's face that this must be the guy who pretended to be his grandson in front of Turkic. Li Yuan heard a few words from Guanyin's maidservant, and was toasted several times by Li Shimin and his wife, so he pointed at Jieli and laughed. Xie Li was shocked, it was too perverted, not to mention that the guy with three nipples wanted to ruin his family's life!

But this time, he was surprised.Because Li Yuan didn't want to take revenge, but just wanted to regain some sense of victory and make up for himself.For this reason, he pointed at Xie Li and asked Li Shimin to arrange him to dance.Tian Kehan ​​said, "The Supreme Emperor wants to see Jieli dance." Li Shimin's father let him dance, so let's dance! Jieli is dancing... Li Yuan showed a rare smile, pointed at the guests and chiefs from all over the world, and said loudly: "Oh, this Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was trapped on the mountain, and no one reported his revenge for 800 years, but let my son report it! Tang Jiangshan is entrusted to someone, and I don’t have to worry about it anymore!” When Liu Sanye, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was trapped in the Baishan Mountain, he was besieged by the Huns, and people in Tang generally believed that the Turks were the descendants of the Huns.

Seeing Jieli dancing, Li Yuan laughed proudly (or pervertedly). After watching the dance, Li Yuan was in high spirits. To express his celebration, he ran to the court hall with a shiny forehead, and brought over a dozen important officials, including kings, concubines and others, to gather in Lingyan Pavilion.He once again set up a big banquet and held a celebration banquet.Li Shimin took Jieli away, and he was so happy that he couldn't sleep. From this we can see how great it must have been for Li Yuan to have had his revenge. While drinking, Li Yuan played his beloved pipa. Accompanied by the sound of the pipa, there is a beautiful woman dancing gracefully, with graceful posture and strong figure.The ministers saw this moment, and took the opportunity to come forward to pay respects to Li Yuan.

The person who danced was Li Shimin. In order to make his father happy, he decided to present a dance for everyone himself.It is said that the father and two cooperated very well, which made everyone's eyes full.In ancient times when it was dark after six o'clock, usually only thieves and watchmen stayed up late at night, and the celebration banquet lasted until midnight before gradually dissipating. In fact, Li Shimin had mixed feelings of sorrow and joy at the moment. Although he was full of joy, he actually got a bad news when he came back from Lishan——Du Ruhui had a serious illness and passed away at the end of March.

Everyone knew that Du Ruhui was in poor health. When he was sick, Li Shimin specially asked Prince Li Chengqian to take care of Du Ruhui's house. Later, he hurried back to Beijing. When government affairs were not busy, he himself visited Du Ruhui's home many times in person.Du Ruhui was really suffering. He had suffered all kinds of hardships and made all kinds of achievements. When the Quartet came to congratulate him, he died.Li Shimin was very reluctant for Du Ruhui to pass away so early, but death was something that couldn't be stopped. After Du Ruhui's death, whenever there were good things enshrined in the Western Regions and other places, Li Shimin would think of him and send someone to his home.

I thought that after a long time, I would naturally forget it, but Li Shimin played a childish temper. Don't forget, if Ru Hui is dead, Xuan Ling is still alive. Whenever he saw Fang Xuanling standing there talking to him alive, Li Shimin felt that something was missing and was very sad.What's more special is that once a major matter cannot be resolved, Li Shimin will feel a lot of emotion and even cry.Du Ruhui is Shen Min decisive and has the demeanor of an elder. No one doubts his judgment. After he leaves like this, who will Li Shimin turn to for decision-making in the next government affairs?

After the demise of the Eastern Turks, some Turks fled to Mobei, and some fled to the Western Regions, but most of them went to the Tang Dynasty.At a rough calculation, there are more than 100,000 people, and how to accommodate these people has become a top priority.Li Shimin solicited the opinions of all officials, and all the officials spoke one after another. Of course, people in the DPRK also have different opinions on such a major event. Some of these opinions are roughly the same, while others are quite different. Most people in North Korea and China believe that: Beidi has been the scourge of China since ancient times. We believe that the Turkic people should be moved to live near Henan, and their tribes should be scattered and scattered in various counties and counties in Henan.Then, the imperial court sent people to teach them farming and weaving.At the end of the day, they naturally become locals. If there is no one in the land north of the Great Wall, there will be peace forever! Yan Shigu, the servant of Zhongshu, said: I think that Turks and Tiele have not been subjects of the Central Plains since ancient times. Since Your Majesty has the ability to make them ministers, it is better to place them in Hebei, which is closer to the grassland, and separate the chiefs and let each chief lead his own tribe. In this way, there will be no future troubles forever. Comrade Li Baiyao, Minister of Rites, believes: Although the Turks are considered a country, they each have their own tribes and are not united.I think they should all be dismantled. Each chieftain leads each tribe, and each tribe occupies such a piece of land, restricting and influencing each other.Even if Ashina is allowed to continue to be the ruler, he is only allowed to lead the tribe.It is our goal to prevent all tribes from posing a threat to Datang. I suggest continuing to set up the Protectorate in Dingxiang, this is the long way to stabilize the frontier! Dou Jing, governor of Xiazhou, believed: Rong Di's temperament is like a beast, which cannot be restrained by law or punishment, nor can it be educated.What's more, everyone has the feeling of the first hill.They didn't want to stay in the Central Plains at all, and it would do no one any good to keep them in the south.Once they cause turmoil and invade Chang'an, the consequences will be disastrous. If you let them become princes, marry the daughters of the clan to them, divide the land, and separate the tribes, you can weaken their power and disintegrate their forces.In this case, they will always be vassals who have no ability to compete with Datang, and they will be safe in frontier fortresses forever. Wei Zheng also put forward his own views: The Turks have always been robbing, and the people of the Central Plains hate it to the bone.Now, the Turks are destroyed, and His Majesty cannot bear to kill and surrender.I think they should be allowed to return to their homeland instead of being left in the Central Plains.Rongdi is very annoying. When he is weak, he surrenders, and when he is strong, he rebels. This has been the case for hundreds of years.There are more than 100,000 descendants now, and their population will double in a few years.If you are in the Central Plains, you must be a confidant, and you will regret it when the time comes.In the early years of the Jin Dynasty, Hu people lived in China. Guo Qin and Jiang Tong urged Emperor Wu to drive them out of the Great Wall, but Emperor Wu refused.Twenty years later, frequent rebellions broke out in the land where the Hu people lived, and finally the land was broken into a country, and the lessons learned from the past are in front of us. Please Your Majesty learn from me! And Wen Yanbo thinks: I think it is not good to arrange them in Henan and Hebei, because it violates the nature of things, and it is not a long way at all.The minister thought it would be better to learn how the court arranged the Xiongnu during the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty. This method was to let all the tribes survive and return to Saixia according to the old customs.The king holds all things in his heart, the sky is high and the earth is far away, he is virtuous and carries things, and he does not give up every detail.Now that the Turks are impoverished and have surrendered to us, how can we look at it coldly?Confucius said that "there is no distinction between education", no matter who can and should be educated. If you save them from death, give them careers, and teach them etiquette, after a few years, they will all become our people.At that time, the chiefs will be elected and let them work for Datang. They are afraid of power and virtue, so why should Datang suffer? ... Don’t look down for now, think for yourself whose point of view is good and whose point of view is bad, and give yourself an answer after thinking about it. Three minutes of silence... one two three. Alright, now for the discussion. First of all, most people in the DPRK and China think very well, but they are a little collectively short-circuited. Their consistent view is: there is no one outside the Great Wall, so there is no danger. But we know that there are grasslands and rivers, and people in Mobei will naturally go there.If the Turkic population is removed today, there will still be people outside the Great Wall tomorrow.And this person here can be Eastern Slavs or Super Saiyans. There are many nomadic peoples. This is not the solution to the problem. Secondly, the opinions of Li Baiyao, Yan Shigu and others all mentioned that the Turkic people should be resettled in Hebei, or in a place closer to the grassland.Separate land and people to disperse the power of Turkic tribes.One advantage of doing this is that it can make them dissatisfied with each other, dislike each other, and mess themselves up. But for the grassland people, once they leave the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty, you have to talk about it whether you care about it or not.At that time, Ashina can make a comeback, and Madonna can also sweep Mobei. They will sweep multiple tribes and become the new generation of Rongdi leaders. Dou Jing is a rough person, he speaks freely, but his words are not rough, and his strategy is very good.However, using the method of peace to win people's hearts is fine for people, but it's really bad for Xieli and others. As for Comrade Wei Zheng, he cited classics and used ancient stories to object to the method of enlightenment, but he did not give a solution. Thus, Li Shimin thought of Wen Yanbo. Many people may think that his views are unreliable, and even think of using compassion to influence Turks. Isn't this the benevolence of women? But what Wen Yanbo said was what Li Shimin wanted to say. Rong Di, Rong Di who doesn't cultivate culture, why did they come to grab things?You don't blush when you grab something, and you don't feel ashamed when you lose a battle. Wen Yanbo believes that people can be educated. Let them integrate into the Tang Dynasty and become a member of my Huaxia. Knowing etiquette and current affairs is the long-term way to stabilize the world.Just imagine, with property, you can do it yourself and have enough food and clothing; with education, the sense of shame will be established in the hearts of the Turks.People are always rushing forward, and they cannot retreat when they are forced back.A barbaric nation can only be assimilated by a civilized nation; a once civilized nation will not degenerate forever. Li Shimin agrees with Wen Yanbo's views, being inclusive, allowing the Turks to maintain their own national character without losing the cultivation of civilization, it would be great! Just do it! At the end of April in the fourth year of Zhenguan (630), more than 100,000 Turkic people were sent to Serbia. This is a vast land stretching from Youzhou (Northeast Liaoning) in the east to Lingzhou (near Ningxia) in the west. It is rich in resources and has a very northern scenery. Later, Li Shimin divided Tuli's former residence into four prefectures, and Xieli's former residence into six prefectures, with Dingxiang Dudufu on the left and Yunzhong Dudufu on the right.The so-called guards are all in charge, and guards are guards with troops. The guards are the important organs of the Tang Dynasty to manage the minority areas. The guards are the main personnel who educate the people and handle affairs. In May, Li Shimin did another major event. He arranged Tuli as the governor of Shunzhou. Comrade Li Shimin once worshiped Comrade Tuli when he was young (he is not very old now), and now Tuli has become the governor of Shunzhou. Li Shimin has given both grace and power: "You are my elder brother, and I am your younger brother, so I will speak directly. "Your ancestors took refuge in the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty established him as the Great Khan and controlled the entire northern region. Later, your father Shibi became a border trouble of the Sui Dynasty. This is a matter that cannot be tolerated. Therefore, today, you are here There will be chaos. "You must be wondering why you were made a governor and not a khan. In fact, this is the reason. From now on, you will become the governor of the Tang Dynasty, and you must abide by the laws and regulations, and you must not engage in robbery or robbery. " After saying that, Li Shimin met Tuli's eyes with his eyes, and said with a smile: "This is not only for the stability of the Central Plains, but also for the protection of your clan." Li Yuan: The widest thing in the world is the ocean, and the sky is wider than the ocean. Why is the sky so wide? Because he stood on Xiao Yuanyuan's shoulders!
