"Recently, the leaders of the Dahe Alliance and Kuge jointly signed a petition to praise you for your benevolent and righteous actions. I am completely baffled by the Khitan's behavior. Please tell me how you made Mo Mo
The foreigners in the North are like this."
"Your Majesty! Isn't this a way for me to use the teachings of the Holy One to implement both hardness and softness, kindness and power against the Khitans? I think the Khitans and all the foreign tribes in Mobei are harassing the Tang Dynasty for nothing more than survival, so we and others
Vigorously develop people's livelihood and benefit all ethnic groups in Mobei. Then, the culture of the Tang Dynasty and the idea of loyalty to the emperor and filial piety will slowly invade the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water. Over time, there will be no need to worry about foreigners not being able to return. At that time, the Tang Dynasty will stand firm in the world, and the emperor will naturally ascend to the throne.
Khan is admired by all the people."
As the saying goes, "You can wear a thousand clothes, but you can never wear flattery!"
Qin Wenyuan's flattery touched Li Shimin's heart, making the emperor feel full of enthusiasm and a smile on his face when he heard this. He felt that this boy was very popular with the emperor.
Li Xiuning, on the other hand, secretly scolded Qin Wenyuan for being naughty and claiming that it was the emperor's teachings that were clearly due to his own merits. This thought was far more clever than those of the meritorious ministers in the imperial court.
She didn't know that the worldly sophistication that Qin Wenyuan had seen in his previous life was even more complex. When doing things, one should follow the principle of "people are carrying people in sedan chairs, so why be arrogant and make others jealous". In this way, everyone from top to bottom will be happy.
Li Shimin was attracted by the prospects of the entire Northeast described by Qin Wenyuan in a few words. He thought that the Sui Dynasty's several conquests on Goryeo had left the western Liaoning area almost deserted. In addition, the complex relationship between various ethnic groups, court officials and aristocratic families made western Liaoning very difficult.
The situation has long been out of the control of the imperial court. In the past, the officials stationed here by the imperial court, in addition to colluding with foreigners and causing all forces to attack each other, also carried out a policy of bloody suppression, which made the military and political affairs of several cities in western Liaoning a mess, let alone the management strategy.
Liaodong and the entire Northeast.
Think about how Qin Wenyuan was able to quickly control the situation in western Liaoning in just one year without any help from the court. The information about western Liaoning returned from the Reconnaissance and Cavalry Department showed that this guy used a sharp knife to cut through the mess to eliminate the Qin family's army and prevent him from controlling the situation in western Liaoning.
The forces of all parties, supplemented by economic policies that have fully blossomed in people's livelihood development, have gradually increased the local flow of people, and various ethnic groups and tribes are developing in a peaceful situation. According to what this guy said, the Tang culture is promoted in western Liaoning, so that
It slowly eroded the assimilation strategies of various ethnic groups, and the chaos in western Liaoning was solved from its roots, thus establishing the strategic purpose of managing Liaodong and the entire Northeast.
Li Shimin finally admired Qin Wenyuan's methods. This boy's monster was really not just blown away.
"Looking at your little bastard's sincere love for our emperor, I will give Xiangcheng to you for marriage. I will issue an order to marry you in the court tomorrow. You must treat Xiangcheng well."
"Hehe! My father-in-law doesn't need to tell me about this. My son-in-law will love my daughter-in-law like a treasure. I thank my father-in-law for this."
Hearing that Li Shimin finally agreed to the marriage, Qin Wenyuan laughed and said to the emperor using the folk name for his daughter-in-law's father. He felt that the emperor, who was usually dignified to many ministers in the court, could not be dignified at this time. Instead, he felt that this boy
Such a title is the most sincere.
Li Xiuning looked at Qin Wenyuan and finally deceived the emperor into agreeing to Chang Le's marriage to him. He originally thought that this matter would be a big hardship, but unexpectedly, this little bastard took advantage of the emperor's ambition to open up new territories and achieved a beautiful thing easily.
Looking at the boy's funny and smiling face, and the emperor's smiling face, Li Xiuning suddenly felt that this was an old fox versus a young fox, and neither was a fuel-efficient lamp!
The eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but burst out laughing "hehehe" with joy in her heart...
In the Li Zheng Hall, Qin Wenyuan once again talked to the emperor and the eldest princess Li Xiuning about things in western Liaoning. When they talked about the Khitan Dahe clan alliance being instigated by the big families, Xu Tian finally became a little angry, so he ordered Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and others to instigate the Khitan.
The Xi, Mohe, and Koryo tribes sent troops to harass "Yingzhou" and made Wei Xiaojie of "Youzhou" use customs to embarrass the caravan and put obstacles in the development of western Liaoning. They reported to the emperor.
Listening to what Qin Wenyuan said about Li Xiuning, Li Xiuning's eyebrows stood up, thinking that these important ministers of the country would actually ignore the interests of the Tang Dynasty for their own benefit. It was really a waste of their official clothes and the emperor's trust in them.
"Your Majesty! I think what Yuan'er said should be taken seriously. It's extremely hateful to think that Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and other old men dare to do such treason in private by relying on their family's huge power in the court!"
After listening to Qin Wenyuan's explanation of the causes and consequences of what happened in western Liaoning, Li Shimin looked gloomy and did not say a word. At this moment, he heard his sister's words and said that Qin Wenyuan was right.
"Is there any evidence that Xiao Yu and others colluded with the Khitan to cause trouble in western Liaoning?"
"Of course there is evidence! Otherwise, how could this kid dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor?"
"You presented these evidences to me, and did not mention this matter at tomorrow's meeting, but I want to see what Xiao Yu and others are going to do next, and how many people are involved. At that time, I will know
Calculate."
Qin Wenyuan took out the letters from Xiao Yu, Zhang Gongjin, and Wei Ting respectively to the Khitan and "Yingzhou" Zhang, Xiao, and Wei families and presented them to the emperor. The only thing missing was the autographed letters from Changsun Wuji and Wei Xiaojie.
However, in the letters he submitted, he mentioned a lot about the "Youzhou" matter that the two discussed, which is enough to establish that Wei Xiaojie was involved in it.
Li Shimin briefly browsed through the letters and finally found out about Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and others' plans. He even prompted Bowen to be appointed as Supervisor of the Liaoxi Army in the court, which was part of the process. The purpose was to continue to maintain the turmoil in Western Liaoning except to put Qin Wenyuan to death.
, so that all the powerful families can have a place in western Liaoning and plunder wealth wantonly.
"bump!"
Before he could finish reading the letter, Li Shimin was so angry that he slapped the table in front of him with his palm.
The loud noise from the table made the great eunuch Liu Eunuch, who stood as solemn as the air beside the emperor, trembled in shock. Eunuch Liu knew that the emperor was extremely angry, and Xiao Yu and others were afraid that they would not be able to escape the blame.
In front of Li Xiuning, Li Shimin repeatedly told Qin Wenyuan not to disclose the matter for the time being, and immediately handed the letter to Eunuch Liu to keep it and went to the queen's palace.
Qin Wenyuan and the eldest princess Li Xiuning came out of the palace together. They were walking and chatting in the palace garden. When they talked about their sister and brother-in-law, Xu Tian seemed to think of something suddenly, causing the maid who was following the eldest princess to speak softly after a while.
said.
"Auntie! I wonder if my brother-in-law still wants to go to western Liaoning to practice. I have some ideas here. If my brother-in-law wants to make a difference, he can go to several states in western Liaoning to find the governor of any of them. It would be nice for us brothers to have someone to look after him."
"Yuan'er, do you really think so?"
"Auntie! Last time, my sister gave birth to a baby, which delayed my brother-in-law's departure to western Liaoning. After handling all the affairs in Chang'an and returning to western Liaoning, I will start the management of Liaodong and Northeast China. If my brother-in-law can take up a post in western Liaoning, he can help me.
It’s a big favor for me.”
"Okay! We will make a decision after my aunt returns home to discuss with your uncle and your sister. You must control your temper in the court tomorrow and don't have any disputes with others."
After saying that, Li Xiuning took the eldest princess Luan Jia and left the palace first. Qin Wenyuan was leisurely walking alone. He saw the maid next to Xiangcheng standing at the palace gate carrying a bag. After asking, he found out that it was Princess Xiangcheng who ordered the maid to bring the armor she had taken off.
Wait for him to take it back to his house for emergencies.
Outside the palace gate, he took the horse from the guards and hung the armor on the horse's back. Qin Wenyuan got on the horse and headed for Pingkangfang under the protection of two guards. As soon as he arrived in front of the "Qi Guogong" house, he found a carriage parked in front of it.
Next to the gate of the mansion, after asking the guard at the gate, I found out that it was Chun Niang, the owner of "Tanchunfang", who was visiting.
Thinking of Qin Wenyuan, Princess Minmin of the Xueyantuo tribe, makes me a little confused. This woman has a very open personality, and her behavior is very lady-like. In the eyes of men, she is really a seductive temptress.
After entering the mansion, the steward Qin Shijun met with the young master and mentioned that Chun Niang was serving tea in the hall at the moment. Qin Wenyuan asked the steward to follow him to the study to talk and asked Chun Niang to wait a little longer.
In the study, Qin Wenyuan briefly asked about some affairs in the mansion, and ordered the housekeeper to send people to "Qin Village" and the "British Duke's" mansion respectively to inform him of the news of his return. The rest of the matters would be discussed in detail later.
Qin Shijun went to deal with the relevant matters after being told by his young master. Qin Wenyuan called Chunxiang, who was already considered a concubine, to wait on him for a while to wash up and change his clothes. He then went to the hall to meet Princess Minmin of the Xue Yantuo tribe, whose alias was Chunniang.
I want to know why the princess came to visit today.
When she saw Qin Wenyuan entering the hall, before she could say anything, the princess stood up and smiled coquettishly.
"Oh! Your Majesty is finally willing to see this woman in the world..."
"What are you talking about, Princess? Qin has just returned home. He must change his clothes before he can meet the beauty."
Before Chun Niang finished her words of false complaint, Qin Wenyuan smiled and said jokingly.
Seeing Qin Wenyuan constantly looking at her, the princess was secretly happy.
"Is sister beautiful?"
Qin Wenyuan didn't dare to accept the woman's teasing words, so he started asking questions without answering questions.
"How did the princess know that Qin was coming back today? Is there anything urgent?"
"My lordship has forgotten my sister's identity in Chang'an City. Wouldn't it be too incompetent if I couldn't even know about this trivial matter of my lordship's return to Chang'an City? I'm going to visit my lordship today, but I have something to discuss. I hope
Your Majesty forgives Chun Niang for coming uninvited."
"It doesn't matter! Why is it so urgent? Princess, please come to Qin to hear it."
When it came to business, the princess put away her playful attitude, looked solemn for a moment, sat upright on a chair, asked Qin Wenyuan to withdraw from the maid serving tea, and began to speak.
"Your Majesty, do you know that my Xue Yantuo tribe was destroyed by the Eastern Turks? Most of the tribe's refugees moved to the south of the Yellow River. While your Majesty was busy with matters in western Liaoning, our tribe took advantage of the emptiness of Shuosai to rapidly expand our power and now occupy most of the territory.
The original land of the Eastern Turks and the royal tent were located in the north of Duweijie Mountain and south of the Duluo River. The territory of the Khanate started from the Greater Khingan Mountains in the east, reached the Altai Mountains in the west, bounded by Hetao in the south, and reached the Selenge River in the north. It included Huihe and Pugu
, Tongluo, Beyegu, Adi and other tribes coexisted. Nowadays, the Uighur forces are growing stronger. They set up Yazhang on the Tula River. Although they belong to our Xueyantuo Khanate, they secretly make peace with the Tang Dynasty to inhibit the development of our Khanate.
According to the trend, Chun Niang went to see the Lord on the order of the Khan, hoping that the Lord could provide strong assistance when the Khanate is in danger."
After listening to what the princess said, Qin Wenyuan combined with the historical knowledge he knew in his previous life to know that the real crisis of the Xue Yantuo tribe was in the 12th and 15th years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. Now it is only the fourth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, and there is still no place in Mobei
There are still more than ten years of turmoil in which various ethnic groups compete for supremacy. During this period, the Xueyantuo tribe is still a huge force on the grassland, and the leader of the Xueyantuo tribe now has such a sense of worry. Zhenzhu Khan really has a lot of troubles in his chest.
His far-reaching vision should not be underestimated."
Xueyantuo Khanate now began to think about future crises due to the growth of the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty's support for the Uighur forces. Xu Tian had to admire the foresight of heroes like the Zhenzhu Khan of the Xueyantuo tribe to prepare for a rainy day.
No hero in the world is easy to get along with!
Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
I want to travel through the historical changes brought about by the Tang Dynasty. In addition, I now control Western Liaoning and want to develop into the entire Northeast. In the next ten years, will the Xue Yantuo tribe and various ethnic groups in Mobei, including the Uighurs, follow suit?
Who can say whether it changed with the changes in the situation in the entire Northeast or was gradually assimilated due to the erosion of Tang Dynasty culture, causing the various ethnic groups in Mobei to deviate from the historical direction of the Xueyantuo Khanate.
Nowadays, to develop the Northeast, we still have to maintain the alliance with the Xueyantuo tribe. Regarding Princess Minmin's request for help from the Qin family army when the Khanate is in danger, Qin Wenyuan knows that in the next time, the Xueyantuo Khanate will definitely treat the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty.
If the imperial court takes precautions, the situation in Mobei where various ethnic groups are fighting against each other will become more and more intense.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Wenyuan finally roughly understood the situation on the grassland next, and he was already thinking about how to answer the princess's request.
】
"Princess Princess Qin thinks that Zhenzhu Khan need not be so worried. Now the Tang Dynasty is committed to the development of people's livelihood and culture, and all they want is the stability of the country. Why not suggest Zhenzhu Khan to eliminate everything?
Wouldn't it be better to interfere with the Tang Dynasty's measures to develop people's livelihood and make the Xueyantuo tribe rich and powerful? If Xu is right, the Xueyantuo tribe has many soldiers since the establishment of the Khanate. There are nearly 20 people under the command of Zhenzhu Khan.
Wan Dajun, if such a powerful force makes good use of uniting other tribes under its jurisdiction to seek common development, how can it be afraid of the growth of the Uighurs? Qin can promise the princess to provide appropriate help when the Xue Yantuo tribe is in crisis. However,
However, Qin also asked Zhenzhu Khan to promise that when Liaoxi develops into the northeast, he will restrain the ethnic groups under his jurisdiction from participating in the resistance actions of various forces in the northeast against the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing Qin Wenyuan ponder for a long time and finally say such words, Chun Niang was overjoyed by the powerful and wise Lord of the Tang Dynasty for his loyal suggestions and promises to the Khanate. This handsome Lord could always create many miracles.
, there must be some truth to the strategy proposed. If Xue Yantuo's tribe has such strange people to come up with plans, why worry about not being able to carry them forward and establish the world forever.
Chun Niang thought like this, and unknowingly, she felt love for this enemy who had been flirting with her several times without success.
It must be men who are brave and resourceful who are most admired by women like Chun Niang who look like royal ladies!
