More than 10,000 Western Turks moved eastward. The number was slightly larger, but overall it was nothing. They were somewhat conspicuous in the Hexi region. If they moved into the Central Plains, those few people would not be enough to form a large army.
As for how to treat them, the approach of the former Sui Dynasty was already very mature and there was almost no need to change it.
Confer officers and titles to the exiled nobles, isolate their tribesmen, and then send them back when they are useful.
The advantages are very obvious. It can influence the Western Turks without spending much effort. It is economical and practical. Later powerful countries also did this. It shows that the ancients were no more stupid than the later ones.
The disadvantage is that it is difficult to control. Once the Turkic nobles seize power after returning home, it is easy for them to repeat themselves, and you cannot punish them if they are beyond your reach. They can also easily make them angry and make wrong judgments.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of strength. When the Central Plains dynasty flourishes, people from far away will naturally be subdued. When you weaken, everyone will want to come and bite you.
For example, if the Central Plains is still in war, even if Ashina Nishu and others are in great distress, they probably will not come to Chang'an to appeal. Wouldn't it be better to directly lead people to occupy Zhangye?
From another perspective, Ashina Nishe and others are of little value to the Tang Dynasty. With the current national power of the Tang Dynasty, let alone running the Western Regions, they can barely control Hexi.
After listening to Ashina Nishe's story, Li Po was even more sure of this. From Zhangye to Dunhuang, although there is no strong force to stop the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, the road is too far and the environment is extremely
Damn, sending someone there now is totally worthless.

"Xuan." Li Po said simply without raising his head as he turned over the memorial.
Wei Zheng is quite a thief. Since he took over the "important task", in addition to contacting everyone to participate in the impeachment of Yuwen Shiji, he also wrote a letter requesting to standardize the format of memorials. In addition, he detailed the errors in the classics since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and then used the late Han Dynasty to
Due to the war, different fonts, and increasing number of words, it is recommended to follow the example of Erya, Shuowen and Jiezi, etc., to standardize and summarize the text and sentences.
Of course, I also secretly inserted some personal information into it. I thought the chapters and sentences were connected and difficult to read, so I requested that the sentences be broken up and the sentences that have been used throughout the ages be changed.
He didn't say how to change it, he just said it would be beneficial. All government affairs in the imperial court were conducted according to the rules. If this change could be made, it would greatly improve the work efficiency of the officials.
That’s pretty much what it means. Please try it out on memorials and correspondence.
He mixed it with other opinions and wrote a big article. Li Po only read it and sent it to Zhongshu for discussion. He had already made up his mind. If Zhongshu objected fiercely, he would let Shangshu discuss it again.
, if the minister fails to make a decision, he will make a decision among his subordinates.
The officials of the outer dynasty may still be a little rebellious, but as the emperor's attendants, Menxiasheng will implement the emperor's will to the greatest extent.
In fact, within a few days, someone had already heard some rumors, and when he wrote about it, some gaps were opened between the lines.
It can be seen that there are really many smart people in the court. They are trying to figure out their ideas all day long, and they will be swayed by the wind at the slightest hint of trouble, regardless of the right and wrong.
Li Po remembered the names of these people. Those who are talented should use them, but they should not be too close to those without talent... What the hell do you think about every day? It is a waste to occupy a position. It is better to give it to others.
This is the emperor. How can you easily predict the unpredictable nature of his thoughts?
The follow-up to this matter is still very long. Anyway, Wei Zheng has become nervous and is waiting for others to knock him on the head. I don't know what benefits he can get by taking the blame for the emperor.
And no matter how you think about it, the blame was unjustly taken this time. The emperor himself was ignorant and incompetent, so he wanted to save trouble, so he asked him to top the cylinder. It was really a disaster.
It's all my fault to Cen Wenwen and others. Their memorials are the most gaudy. It seems like they can't write articles without quoting scriptures. The emperor frowns every time he sees your memorials. Do you know? They are really a bunch of idiots.
……………………
Cheng Dabeard had gone far enough on this trip and his actions were remarkable. Li Po felt that he had indeed seen the right person. The Shandong bandit was very tough and did not let the wind and sand in the Hexi Corridor bury him.
That is meritorious service.
When Cheng Zhijie poked his head around and entered the Tai Chi Hall with uneasiness, uneasiness, and exhaustion, Li Po looked him up and down.
When he left Chang'an, he was very fat and strong, and he seemed to have gained weight as if he was blowing air. But after traveling to Hexi, he was now almost a skeleton.
He looked all black and thin, with a blush on his cheeks blown by the wind and sand. The big beard on his face was still there, but he looked at the firewood a lot, and it was withered and yellow, which reminded Li Po of autumn.
fallen leaves.
It seemed that he had really suffered a lot. Li Po blamed himself a little. Alas, Dunhuang was still closer. It would be better for him to go to the Western Regions to gain more experience.
My appearance has changed a lot, but my behavior is still the same.
Before entering the palace, Cheng Dabeard had been brewing his emotions for a long time. Now that he met the emperor, he couldn't help it anymore. He fell to the ground with a thud. When he raised his head again, tears were streaming down his face, which shocked Li Po.
Damn it... I saw another mourner...
I only heard Cheng Dabeard cry: "I'm so lucky to be able to see the Supreme Being again. I'm so lucky to lead people thousands of miles away and go back and forth. It's only with good luck that I can see the Supreme Being again."
On the way, I thought, if I lose my life, leaving orphans and widows, and I don’t know who gets the advantage, my heart will be cut. Your Majesty, I, Old Cheng, have surrendered. From now on... can you do this in the future?
I want to find someone else to do it, I still want to live a few more days and enjoy happiness under the rule of the Supreme Being."
What kind of mess is this? All the closest servants in the palace turned away. They couldn't bear to see it. They looked miserable, but they all found it extremely funny...
Cheng Zhijie was no longer an unknown person in the court. He went far away from Dunhuang and attracted the Western Turkic tribes to surrender. This incident caused a certain shock in the court and the public.
Because it involves the Western Turks and even the Western Regions, this obviously has the appearance of a career as a famous official. If Cheng Zhijie had not come from a poor family, had repeatedly joined bandits, and was obviously a general who led troops, otherwise, someone would definitely recommend him to serve in Honglu Temple.
.
Now that the meritorious person has returned, everyone in the palace wants to see what kind of person he is. Even if they knew there was such a person before, they didn't pay much attention to it. This time, they might take a closer look. After all, this person is the first person since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
He has traveled so far, and I heard that he is still an old person from Yunnei...
But once Cheng Dabeard burst into tears, there was no need to mention any image.
