Li Po ordered people to send away this little lady who was always trying to get more than she wanted.
Before that, he also said a few words to Lu Xiangjun, asking her to recruit a few disciples after she returns. What kind of person is we without disciples?
The other step is to ask her to sort out her musical scores and send them to the Taiyue Department for preservation. In fact, these will be stored in the Guanwen Hall.
Of course, Lu Xiangjun is not without benefits. She can read the documents in Taile Department at will. It is impossible to enter Guanwen Hall, but Chang'an Academy has opened the door to her.
With a position in the Taile Department, you can enter the library of Chang'an Academy with a certificate.
In fact, this is not an embarrassment for her. Once Mrs. Chengguo has been coaxed, a place like Chang'an Academy cannot stop her.
Moreover, the current society is very open, and women's public appearance does not actually cause much trouble to men.
……………………
Li Po's meaning is obvious. Top talents must be taken care of. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting are all part of cultural undertakings. During wars, no one can take care of them. But once the world is at peace, some people from all walks of life must stand up and use it.
Their talents come to embellish the prosperity of the prosperous age.
Yan Liben is like this, and Lu Xiangjun is like this...
The emperor and the young lady talked for a long time, and everyone fell behind silently. They probably had the idea in their minds that there might be another noble person in the palace.
After Li Po sent the people away, they all gathered around the emperor again. They had a different idea in their minds. They were too naive. The emperor probably wanted to have another wife.
………………
Li Po could probably guess what they were thinking, but he couldn't explain it. Talking and joking with a young lady for a long time really aroused suspicion.
But he is the emperor, so what's the point of talking to others when he's in a mood? Even if you think about it, these bastards don't dare to make irresponsible remarks.
………………
I was about to order someone to change the route to see if my mother-in-law was doing well. Are there more chickens in the bamboo forest? The fish in the pond should be very delicious in spring, right?
Thinking of this, my mouth almost watered.
It's just bad luck today. Before he could give the order, someone reported, "Fan Wenjin, the general manager of Liangzhou, sent someone to send an urgent message. The Western Turkic leader Yehu Khan sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. The envoy has arrived in Liangzhou.
"
Calculating the time, if the envoys from the Western Turks had not stopped in Liangzhou, they would have arrived in Chang'an by now.
This is not a small thing, of course, nor is it sudden.
The relationship between the Western Turks and the Central Plains Dynasty was doomed the moment they broke away from the Turkic Royal Court.
Regardless of whether the Western Turks surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty, they would definitely come to say hello after changing their Khan to express their closeness.
Because their own strength is not enough to confront the Turkic Royal Court, the reason why they can always control the Western Regions lies in the Central Plains Dynasty's containment of the Turkic Royal Court.
During the years of war in the late Sui Dynasty, the three great powers in the east were all weakened by the wars with each other. The Western Turks took advantage of this situation to rise and deepen their control over the countries in the Western Regions.
A few years ago, Shekui Khan led 100,000 people to launch a war to unify the Turks, because the increase in strength fueled the ambitions of the Western Turks.
But now the situation seems to be back to the same old state... It's time for everyone to reunite.
……………………
Li Po had no choice but to restrain his greed, but still put state affairs first. Who made him the emperor?
He led his people back to the palace and went straight into the Tai Chi Hall. He had some tea soup cooked and brought to him to relieve his appetite. He was full of mutton and rabbit meat, which were half-cooked. Fortunately, he gave the sheep eyes to others, otherwise he would also have nausea.
While drinking tea, he began to read Fan Wenjin's memorial.
Many Western Turks also died along the way. When they arrived at Zhangye, they even greeted the Turks who had fled, and there was almost no conflict.
Fortunately, Zhangye is not their territory, otherwise, they might have been fooled.
The influence of the Western Turks has extended to the Dunhuang area. The main purpose was to pursue the fleeing troops into the Dunhuang Oasis. According to the envoy, they quickly withdrew.
Dunhuang County was the territory of the former Sui Dynasty. After many years of operation, it has received the acquiescence of the Western Turks and the Turkic royal court.
The Western Turks were different from those later creatures from the west. They were somewhat polite and had no intention of showing off their power before sending people to contact the Tang Dynasty.
Although the Dunhuang area has indeed become an ungoverned land, the Western Turks still maintained restraint and did not take the Dunhuang oasis as their own.
In addition, when the envoys of the Western Turks heard that the war in the Central Plains had ended and the people had returned to the banner of the Tang Dynasty, they no longer concealed their intentions for friendship.
According to Fan Wenjin’s report, Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, intended to marry a daughter of the Tang Dynasty clan. After that, it became a matter of trade.
The intention of forming a good alliance with the Tang Dynasty was very clear, but according to his opinion, he would not express his intention to become a vassal. In other words, the Tang Dynasty was not strong enough. The Western Turks were far away in the Western Regions, and the news was lagging behind. When they sent the envoys, they only knew about the Tang Dynasty.
Just occupied Chang'an.
The implication is obvious, the envoys of the Western Turks just came to the Central Plains to have a look, and by occupying Chang'an they can interact with the Western Turks, but it is not certain what will happen in the end, they can only take a look at the scenery.
If the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, they would just deal with other people without any hindrance.
After reading Fan Wenjin's report, Li Po became even more satisfied with Fan Wenjin. Look at how thoughtful he was and how clearly he explained the pros and cons. It was so clear that there was no need to make any other guesses.
The people in Honglu Temple are a little worse than others. I don't know how Gao Biaoren is doing in the Turkic Royal Court. One winter has passed, he should be back soon, right?
While thinking about it, he ordered: "Please invite Xiao Zhongshu, Wen Gebu, and Feng Shizhong to come to Taiji Hall."
Li Po thought with some regret that Pei Ju was very familiar with the Western Regions. He not only served as an official in Zhangye, but also served as an envoy to various countries in the Western Regions, and even presented a map of the Western Regions to Yang Guang.
I looked at it before, and it can be said that the customs and customs of the Western Regions are fully explained, but after many years, there should be great changes there.
Especially some small countries in the Western Regions, with thousands of people, just disappeared...
It was a pity that Pei Ju was not around and he was old. In order to let this man live a little longer, he left him in Luoyang. Otherwise, if he had him as a counselor, he should be able to better grasp the situation in the Western Turks.
Names such as Persia, Arabia, Tianzhu, Tocharo, Tiele, etc. appeared in Li Po's mind one after another.
As the Tang Dynasty gradually resumed its rule over the northwest, news of various forces that could affect the Western Regions reached his ears, but no one knew what the situation was there.
