Chapter 0626 A man of action who means what he says
"So Your Highness wants me to persuade other tribes outside the Tudiji tribe to join the Tudiji tribe in attacking Shuofang City in Liangshidu?"
Tang Jian spoke without much thought.
Li Yuanji's heart was instantly filled with emotion.
He went overboard again and said everything he wanted to say.
The Minister of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty must be you, Tang Jian!
"Yes, as long as you can handle this matter successfully and successfully contain Liang Shidu's troops, I will certainly reward you generously."
Li Yuanji spoke solemnly.
Tang Jian didn't seem to care about the reward. After thanking him, he asked the key question, "What can your Highness give to those tribes?"
Li Yuanji really didn't think about this issue, because Datang never gave him anything.
However, considering that Tang Jian had to lobby a lot of tribes this time, and many tribes had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty and were not under the control of the Tang Dynasty, if they were asked to send people to fight for the Tang Dynasty without giving them any benefits, they might
I don’t know how to do it, so I can still give some benefits.
But it's a little hard to say what kind of benefits it would give, and what kind of benefits would make the people of those tribes risk their lives for the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Yuanji always liked to leave the problem to the person who raised the problem to solve, so he asked without hesitation, "What benefits do you think it is appropriate to give to those tribes?"
Tang Jian was obviously stunned for a moment, not expecting that Li Yuanji would throw this question to him again.
In the past, when Li Yuan asked him to do things, he would not ask him this question. In this kind of matter, he would basically be dictatorial. Even if he had ideas, he could only express them indirectly, but in most cases Li Yuan would not
Listen.
Because you have no jokes, because the king has the Constitution in his mouth, and what he says cannot be changed casually.
Li Yuanji could respect his thoughts, which was something he had never expected, and at the same time, he was so touched in his heart.
He does not seek wealth when he becomes an official, because his family is not short of money. There are officials in his family for generations, and he is a wealthy family in Jinyang. His family has a lot of wealth, so even if he does not become an official, he will not worry about food and drink, let alone wealth.
.
The reason why he became an official was purely to establish great achievements and to strengthen his father and defeat his ancestors.
And his ancestors were either Sangong or Jiuqing. Even his father, who was considered useless in the eyes of his grandfather, died as a Duke and was promoted to Taichang Qing after his death.
In the Tang Dynasty, although he had the title of Minister of Rites and the title of Duke of Ju, he was still a bit inferior compared to his grandfather who served as a minister and minister, and compared to his great-grandfather who served as minister's right servant and Sikong.
Therefore, he must make meritorious deeds and establish great achievements in order to catch up with his grandfather and great-grandfather, and to strengthen his father and defeat his ancestors.
It's just that there are too many people who have been blessed by the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, and there are also many talents who have been blessed by the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty. With so many talents to choose from, Li Yuan does not rely much on him.
Compared with Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, Li Gang and others, he is just a second-line person in Li Yuan's heart.
I can meet Li Yuan, listen to Li Yuan's orders, and get authority from Li Yuan, but I can't participate in the decision-making of some core issues.
When Li Yuan had a problem, he would not ask him for advice. He would only tell him what to do or what to do.
His great-grandfather and grandfather were both elders. From his childhood, he knew very well what kind of person could become the prime minister of a country.
That is someone who can advise the king and accompany the king in making many important decisions.
It's a pity that Li Yuan didn't give him such a chance at all, which made him lose hope of Qiang Ye Shengzu.
Now that Li Yuanji was willing to give him this opportunity, he was naturally touched.
"I think that we can allow the tribes of more than a thousand tribes with hundreds of loyal people to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty, and we can also allow the tribes of thousands of tribes with hundreds of loyal people to migrate to live in the Tang Dynasty."
After Tang Jian took a deep breath, he bowed and expressed his thoughts.
This means that anyone who contributes to the Tang Dynasty can be given a chance to embrace the Tang Dynasty.
For the Tang people, this
It's a matter of being a free man, and people in the Tang Dynasty would be very disdainful if they heard about it.
But for those grassland people who are struggling to survive, especially for those small and medium-sized tribes who have no support and are bullied by other large tribes all day long, this is a rare opportunity.
As long as they join the big tree of the Tang Dynasty, they can get rid of the bullying of those big tribes, develop and grow with peace of mind.
And all they had to pay was the lives of hundreds of clan members.
This is definitely a good deal for them.
Because if they were not attached to the Tang Dynasty, people would die every year, and it would probably be more than a hundred, because the big tribes that oppressed them would never let them grow stronger, and they would never let them make a good living.
.
Therefore, they are absolutely willing to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of people in exchange for a stable life in the future.
Coupled with the example of the Tudiji tribe, they can also see the benefits of becoming attached to the Tang Dynasty. Not only can they have a stable life, but they can also use the power of the Tang Dynasty to bully other tribes and absorb other tribes.
The tribe's strength strengthens itself, how could they refuse.
Although people on the grasslands are not as smart as Han people, that is not a problem of IQ, but a problem of culture and education.
Tribes that survive in such a harsh environment on the grassland more or less have one or two wise men. Therefore, even if the vast majority of the grassland people cannot see the benefits, the wise men on the grassland can definitely see it.
So if this is done properly, the chance of success is very high.
"The method is a good one. It doesn't require Datang to pay a penny, and it can get a lot of help. Later, it can recruit a large number of people to work for Datang. However, if this kind of thing is not done well, it will be easy to raise a tiger.
To cause trouble."
Li Yuanji didn't need to think too much to know that Tang Jian's method was feasible.
It's just that doing this is really easy to breed tigers.
Where did Anlu Mountain come from?
How did Xixia, Liao, Jin, Meng and Yuan, and even the Qing Dynasty rise?
It was raised by the Central Plains Dynasty.
Among them, although the Jin Kingdom and the Meng Yuan Dynasty were not directly raised by the Central Plains Dynasty, there were indirect factors involved.
And when the Jin Kingdom and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were growing stronger, the Central Plains Dynasty provided them with nutrition.
Therefore, when incorporating tribes from outside the territory and using tribes outside the territory, you still have to consider the danger of raising tigers.
Historically, Li Shimin did a very good job in this regard. It can be said that he incorporated all the surrounding tribes that could be appeased and incorporated, and he also trained many tribal generals for the Tang Dynasty who were good at conquering and fighting.
But Li Shimin's actions were not thorough enough, so after his death, these generals rebelled and rebelled, and very few of them continued to follow the Tang Dynasty loyally.
Therefore, tribes from outside the territory can use it or incorporate it, but they must find appropriate resettlement methods.
Otherwise, he can help you today and kill you tomorrow.
Perhaps those who mess up your inheritance in the future will be his descendants.
"Your Highness, don't worry. I will find a way to make the tribes hate each other and attack each other. I will never let them get together and become a threat to our Tang Dynasty."
Tang Jian made a solemn promise.
In this matter of instigating others to hate and attack each other, Tang Jian did not covertly or speak tactfully like other courtiers, but directly expressed his truest thoughts.
He has done this in the past, and has done it a lot, so there is nothing to hide.
Although it was immoral and inhumane to do so, as long as it was beneficial to Datang, he would dare to do and say even crazy things.
Li Yuanji admired Tang Jian's frankness in this matter, and immediately said: "Okay, since you have the confidence, then do as you say.
However, your only mission this time when you go to Tudi Jibu is to let them send troops together to attack Shuofang City and contain the troops of Liang Division.

But don’t abandon the basics and chase the last.
As long as you can accomplish this, I won't blame you even if other things fail."
Before he even started to do things, he had already started to protect him. Faced with such a person in power...oh, no, it's the lord, what else could Tang Jian say.
Tang Jian could only bow respectfully and said, "Even if I stay in Yanyou for the rest of my life, I will definitely accomplish what His Highness has told me."
Li Yuanji originally thought that Tang Jian's words were just casual words to show his determination, but when Tang Jian left the palace after accepting the order and rushed to Yanyou with his people, he realized that Tang Jian was a man of action who was consistent in his words and deeds.
Home.
Tang Jian not only went by himself, but also brought his younger brother Tang Min and his eldest son Tang Songling with him.
Tang Jian was responding to what he said with practical actions.
Tang Jian not only wanted to get things done, but also wanted to target the tribes that were about to become attached to the Tang Dynasty.
Tang Min and Tang Songling were his chosen successors. After his death, they would help him keep an eye on those tribes.
As long as there are more children of the Tang family, those tribes will never hope to get together under the nose of the Tang family.
It seemed a bit reckless to do this, and it might not be very effective, but the determination shown by Tang Jian moved Li Yuanji.
It’s not unreasonable for people with Down syndrome to live in *** for generations.
They do their best to do the things assigned to them by the king. Even if they can't do it well, they will try their best to do it. Which king doesn't like such ministers?
It seems that Tang Jian has not inherited the tact of his ancestors. He speaks and does things informally. As long as he does what he thinks is right, he doesn't care much about other people's feelings, which is a bit of a disadvantage.
Historically, it was because he fought with Li Shimin when Li Shimin was hunting, and then defeated Li Shimin when playing chess with Li Shimin, and then he was caught by Li Shimin and demoted to a corner.
Likewise, what he is doing now embarrasses Li Gang and others, Wei Zheng and others, Xie Shufang and others.
As a minister in the same palace, you have just been recruited, and have not yet been introduced as a confidant. The person in power has just given you a task, and you have done it with all your heart. You have made us confidants, or have just been introduced as a confidant. , or how do people who have been fostered for a long time live?
Are you going to fight tooth and nail?
Go ahead, it's a bit too tiring.
Don't fight, you have worked hard. If we don't fight, wouldn't it mean that we are not as loyal as you, and we are not as good at doing things as you are, so what will happen?
"Your Highness, do you think we should call Zheng'er back to guard the door for you?"
Yu Wenbao didn't know who had instigated him. After rambling here and there in the Zhaode Hall and murmuring for a while, he suddenly said this.
Li Yuanji unceremoniously threw the document in his hand at Yu Wenbao's face and yelled, "Get out of here!"
Yu Wenbao shrank his neck in fright, and said aggrievedly: "I am your potential minister, and I don't want to be compared with the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Yuanji stood up, pointed at Yu Wenbao's nose and cursed: "I gave permission for Tang Jian to take his brother and son to Yanyou. Others are talking nonsense if they don't know the inside story. Why are you joining in the fun?
Is it because I haven’t spanked you for a long time and your skin is itchy?”
Although Tang Jian went too far and was a little indifferent to other people's feelings, Tang Jian showed his loyalty and determination with his actual actions.
So now that Tang Jian is in trouble, Li Yuanji has to defend whatever he says.
Isn't that what a lord, a person in power, a king does?
Let the people under you charge into battle and do big things, and you can wipe your ass behind.
As long as big things can happen, Li Yuanji doesn't mind doing this kind of wiping thing every day.
After all, he could just talk and protect someone at critical moments, and he didn't have to do anything else.
If everyone under his command works as hard as Tang Jian, then he can sit back and relax.
Not only that, he
Even if he doesn't want the throne, he can sit on it.
Anyway, the people under him worked hard to finish everything, so he went up, ate, drank, had fun, and wiped the butts of the people under him.
This does not conflict with his pursuit. Such an emperor can do it.
"Isn't this Tang Jian's own decision?"
Yu Wenbao blinked in confusion and turned a deaf ear to Li Yuanji's words about beating him.
It's not like he hasn't been beaten before, and with his current status and Li Yuanji's current status, being beaten up is not a bad thing.
Others want Li Yuanji to be beaten, but Li Yuanji doesn't want to be beaten.
Li Yuanji would just chop off their heads.
So being beaten by Li Yuanji was a treatment that only Li Yuanji's closest confidants and confidants could enjoy.
Li Yuanji glared at Yu Wenbao and said, "Who do you think dares to make his own decisions in front of me?!"
When Yu Wenbao heard this, he thought of Li Yuanji's cruelty again and believed Li Yuanji's lies. He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "That's true..."
"come here!"
Li Yuanji waved to Yu Wenbao with an evil voice.
Yu Wenbao stepped forward politely, and after being kicked, he left Zhaode Hall with a smile on his face.
After Yu Wenbao left, Li Yuanji quickly wrote two appointment documents.
One is for Tang Jian's younger brother Tang Min to be the Sima of Yanzhou, and the other is for Tang Jian's eldest son Tang Songling to be the Prime Minister of Changping County.
Changping is the place where the Tudiji tribe is located.
With these two appointment documents, people in both the government and the public will no longer make irresponsible remarks, and they will no longer put Tang Jian's shoes on, at least not openly.
Because this means that Tang Jian's behavior was approved by Li Yuanji.
Others felt that what Tang Jian did was wrong and that he was questioning the authority of the Tang Dynasty.
