More and more good news was continuously delivered to Chang'an via the Beijing Post Road. The post riders with the wind and snow were the most welcome people to Emperor Zhenguan during this period.
The Great Victory of Youzhou was also recognized by the Chang'an court and began to spread among the people.
Wu Huaiyu, who resigned and went to Youzhou to serve as governor, became a hotly discussed figure in Chang'an again.
"I heard that the saint is going to summon Duke Yi to return to the court and restore him as prime minister."
"I heard that I am going back to worship Youpushe,"
"Is the Duke of Qi going to resign?"
"When Duke Yi returns to pay homage to his right servant, his adoptive father Qi Guogong must have retired. After all, he rarely goes to the political hall now."
Pingkangfang.
Nowadays, this place is becoming more and more prosperous and lively, and even King Wu can't help it. Near the end of the year, a large number of local court officials, planners, scholars who come to Beijing to take exams, and even many merchants gather, making this entertainment area even more prosperous.
In the lightly decorated restaurant, everyone was discussing hotly,
"I heard that the saint also gave Duke Yi a national surname and included it in the official clan registration. Just like Duke Cao, he will become a royal clan in the future."
"Not only that, I heard that you will also be given an iron coupon for the alchemy book, which is said to be able to forgive two deaths,"
"I've heard about it too. It seems that the prince personally requested it from the saint."
"The teacher-student relationship between the prince and Duke Yi is really good."
The imperial court has issued an imperial edict, conferring the title of special advance to Shangzhu State, leading the army on the right, and making Wu Huaiyu, the Duke of Yi State, the governor of Youzhou. He has been granted a title of 1,200 households, ten thousand pieces of silk, and a hundred servants.
In addition, Luo Yi's confiscated residence and family were given to Wu Huaiyu.
These are all enviable.
"Sorry, everyone, I'm late."
"Why are you here so late? You have to drink three drinks as a penalty."
"Okay, accept the punishment. I'll punish myself with three cups of wine first."
A man went upstairs and pushed the door open. He apologized to everyone and punished himself with three drinks. "When I came here just now, I met an angel who went out of the city to Youzhou to deliver an edict to Duke Yi."
"Another message?"
"The little Khan of Tujue Tuli asked for annexation, and Duke Yi Guo sent troops to escort him to Chang'an to court the emperor. The Xi and Khitan tribes also asked Duke Yi for annexation first, and Duke Yi Guo had already placed Xi in Rao Le
The Dudu's Mansion will be set up with ten prefectures. Songmo Dudu's Mansion will be set up in the Khitan land and ten prefectures will be set up. In addition, Bei'an Dudu's Mansion will be set up in Tuli Khan's land and four prefectures will be set up."
The newly arrived person told everyone the new news he had just heard. He was very excited, "I can't believe that Tuli Khan came directly to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor."
"But because of this, the emperor wants to reward Duke Yi again. What reward will he give?"
"Because Duke Yi had established the new governor's offices of Raole, Songmo and Bei'an in the north of Saibei, the imperial court decided to set up a new governor's office of Andong, and appointed Duke Yi of Wu Huaiyu as the first governor of Andong.
Protector, in charge of all the tribes, comforting and conquering, describing merits and punishments,
The Andong Protectorate was stationed in Liucheng, Yingzhou, and the imperial court assigned 20,000 troops to be under the command of the Andong Protectorate."
Duhufu, this is a somewhat unfamiliar word to the people of the Tang Dynasty, but those present here are all scholars who have read many books, and there are even several quite famous poets.
Naturally, they know that the Duhufu is derived from the Western Regions Dufufu established by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in Wulei, which commanded Dawan and the kingdoms to the east of the city, and also supervised the nomadic countries such as Wusun and Kangju.
Later in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Western Regions Changshi Mansion was established.
The newly established Andong Protectorate by the imperial court was established because Wu Huaiyu appeased the Tibetan tribes and established the new governor's office of the three governors and the twenty-four Jizhou prefectures. In order to facilitate the unified management of Tuli, Xi, Khitan, etc., the imperial court established this new building.
Protectorate.
Protector, guarding with troops.
Wu Huaiyu, the governor of Youzhou, also served as the governor of Andong. The governor of Andong was a new government office located in Liucheng, Yingzhou, Liaoxi Province. The governor's office had a new set of officials, including the governor, deputy governor, chief historian, Sima, etc.
He also appointed officials to record affairs and participate in the military affairs, and all Cao Cao participated in the military affairs, etc., and commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses.
The Youzhou Governor's Office is in charge of the military and administration of the ten states of Youfu, while the Andong Governor's Office is mainly in charge of the Jisi prefectures, focusing on border defense.
It is aimed at the Turkic fanhu.
The Duhu's duty is to "pacify the vassals and pacify the foreign invaders", and he is responsible for "pacifying, conquering, recounting merits, and punishing the misdeeds" of the surrounding ethnic groups.
The three governor's offices of Bei'an, Songmo, and Raole belong to the inner Jizhou Prefecture. Their governors, governors, etc. are all served by chiefs of their own tribes. They are still autonomous. This is a relatively special area and is subordinate to the governor of Youzhou.
It is inappropriate to be under the government,
The core of the formal establishment of the Andong Protectorate was that although the three prefectures and twenty-four states were still autonomous from the Turks, Xi, and Khitan tribes, the imperial court wanted to strengthen its leadership.
However, the imperial court would build inns and even garrison troops in the territory of the three ministries.
Leading troops to monitor, this is the most important thing.
This means that they are no longer completely autonomous. They really want to be brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Although most matters are still autonomous, when it comes to military affairs, they have to ask the imperial court for instructions and be managed by the Andong Protectorate.
The Andong Protectorate not only set up post stations in the three governorates and twenty-four prefectures, built troops and cultivated fields, opened border trade, but even sent some senior officials to each prefecture.
This is actually similar to how the Turks used to be stationed in Tutun, such as Xi and Qidan. The Khanate sent Turkic nobles to Xi, Khitan, etc. to serve as Tutun, leading troops to guard and collect taxes.
Now of course Datang must strike while the iron is hot and tighten control.
Twenty thousand troops were stationed along the border and in the three divisions. This force was enough to intimidate and control them and make them obey the Tang Dynasty in the future.
Each tribe demarcates its own boundaries and is not allowed to intrude. They meet regularly to make alliances. If there are disputes, the governor will take the lead in mediating. If there is rebellion among the tribes, the governor has the power and obligation to send troops and mobilize other tribes to jointly put down the rebellion.
From now on, the three departments, from the governor of the Khan king to the chief governor, and even all the leaders and generals, big and small, will be appointed and granted seals by the imperial court.
These prison officials can be recommended by themselves, but they must go through the final appointment and removal procedures of the court to be formal and legal.
The Andong Protectorate also has the responsibility of appeasing Mohe, Shiwei, Ping, etc.
"The newly established Anton Governor's Mansion is a third-grade Protectorate compared to the Central Governor's Mansion."
The second-ranked Governor of Youzhou, the third-ranked Governor of Andong, the third-ranked Youzhou governor, the second-ranked Tejin Sanguan Benpin, the second-ranked Prince Shaobao, and the third-ranked
The right leader has the rank of general.
Internally, he is in charge of the military and administration of the ten states of Youfu, and externally, he is in charge of the twenty-four states of Andong, Sanbo and Hu.
He can be called the king of the Northeast.
"Have you heard that the sage gave the Tuli Khan the surname Li and included it in the official clan registration?"
Tuli Khan Ashina Shibobi had been granted the title of Prince of Beiping before, but few people took this kind of comfort in the past seriously, just like the Jieli invasion of Jingzhou in the seventh year of Wude, and later
Li Shimin and Tu Li became brothers with different surnames. Tu Li withdrew his troops alone, leaving Jie Li to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty. Ashina Simo went to Chang'an to meet Li Yuan and was responsible for the peace negotiation. Li Yuan specially granted Ashina Simo the title of Heshun County.
king.
But this time it's obviously different.
The Tuli family was attached to the clan, and Wu Huaiyu used the land to establish the governor's palace in Bei'an. He came to Chang'an in person to pay homage to the emperor, who gave him the surname of Li and included him in the royal family. His position as the prince of Beiping was different from before.
Along with Tuli, he was not the only one who was given a national surname and a nationality.
Tu Diji, the leader of Mohe who was previously given a national surname, was also included in the Zongzheng family this time and was renamed Duke of Yan.
Those who could be saved by King Xi were given a national surname and a list of tributary status. They were worshiped as envoys to hold the military affairs of the ten states, Rao Le governor, and granted the title of Duke of Loufan County.
He was a member of the family, and he was worshiped as the envoy to the military affairs of the ten states and the governor of Songmo. He was granted the title of Duke of Guishun County.
In addition, the former general manager of Liaozhou, Sun Aocao, the Khitan commander who had been included in the early years, was also given a national surname, a nationality, and the title of Yongle County Duke.
He also granted Kedu's son Pi Di the title of a male from Wudi County, and Mohui's son Kuge from Wuji County.
Li Keyong, the son of Tudiji, was given the title of male from Wuyuan County.
Although there were rumors that Wu Huaiyu would be given a national surname and a citizenship, the prince actually proposed this, but Li Shimin did not agree. The main reason was that those who were given a national surname and a citizenship by Wu Dechao would not end well. Li Shimin was embarrassed, but
There is nothing to be embarrassed about when the new surname is given to Fanhu and listed in the nationality list.
"It is said that the imperial court originally wanted to set up the Dongyi Colonel's Palace and send a general to be the Dongyi Colonel. However, later it was felt that the rank of the captain was too low, so there was a proposal to rename it the Dongyi Protector's Palace.
But in the end, the saint felt that the word Dongyi was not pleasant to hear, so he changed the name to the Andong Protectorate, and Yi Guogong was the first Anton Protectorate, and he was also appointed by the saint."
"An Dong Protectorate's Palace sounds better, but Dongyi's Colonel's Palace and so on are too classy."
"It is up to Duke Yi to serve as the guardian of Anton. If it were replaced by someone else, I think the three tribes would not accept it."
"But if the Flying General of Dragon City is here and does not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains, this poem by Duke Yi is so good. Isn't this Flying General of Dragon City the Duke of Yi?"
"that is."
"I heard that Tuli Khan took the initiative to personally deliver the Huainan princess Yang who was given to him by the Sui Dynasty to the Duke of Yi. Now Yang is even taken to Youzhou by Duke Yi to raise her elsewhere.
House,"
"Hey, I've heard about this too. It happened before the war when Duke Yi was patrolling the Jinlian River in the north. Tu Li took the initiative to send people to the Prime Minister Wu's tent in the middle of the night. I heard that the Yang family is still alive in Youzhou now.
I’m pregnant.”
"Is it from Mr. Wu?"
"Then who else can it be? The Yang family has been married to Qin Tuli for twelve years and has never had a child. Now that they have entered the official residence of the Prime Minister, they are pregnant immediately. What do you think?"
"Master Wu is mighty."
"I heard that Jie Li also asked his eldest son He Luo'u to worship Xianggong Wu as his adoptive father. There were also four chiefs, including Kedu, Tudiji, Dahemohui, and Sun Aocao, who also asked their sons to be worshiped.
I worship Mr. Wu as my adoptive father."
"This is really a display of majesty. All the tribes and barbarians are vying to recognize Mr. Wu as the Prime Minister, and are vying to call him Sir."
"If you ask me, Mr. Wu is really a role model for scholars of our generation. What did he say in a poem? Please go to Yuntai Pavilion for a while, and you will be like a scholar with ten thousand households."
I think we should abandon our pens and join the army and go to the frontiers, so that we can truly write good poems."
Another person also sighed, "Yes, I come to Chang'an for the imperial examination every year, but unfortunately I have nowhere to go, and I fail every year. Last year, only seventeen people were admitted to the Jinshi examination, and no one was admitted to the Xiucai subject. Although more people were admitted to the Ming Jing subject,
But Jinshi, whoever is on the Mingjing list, is not all from a famous family, or has been recognized and recommended by the ministers early. We, the people, are afraid that there is no hope in this life. It is better to go to Youzhou and join the world.
In the Youzhou Governor's Mansion or the Anton Governor's Mansion, first become a staff member, perform meritorious service on the border, and then take another path."
"Brother Gao is right, I also have the same intention, let's go together!"
"Let's go together. We will all go to Youzhou to pay homage to Duke Yi, join the shogunate of Duke Yi, and serve together on the frontier."
"Well, I've heard that Duke Yi Guo treats his guests well and respects his guests. Anyone who is talented under his command and the shogunate will be reused and recommended by him. As long as he is talented, there is no need to worry about not having a chance."
A group of scholars and poets, after a few glasses of wine, became impassioned and decided to go to Youzhou to vote for Mr. Wu. They also imitated Mr. Wu and abandoned his pen to join the army and made great achievements.
