Four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters: how to reward
After welcoming Li Min into the palace, Fu Shun entertained him with the highest standards.
During the banquet, Li Min was even invited to be the first person to serve, while he stayed by his side.
And Li Min showed no humility at all.
As the saying goes, there is no diplomacy for the weak. As the defeated party, you must have the consciousness of the defeated party.
In the end, Fushun wrote a petition of surrender, willing to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year.
Li Min also wrote the whole story of the war in a memorial, and asked the generals for credit.
…
In Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, after more than a month of preparations, all the food, grass and armaments have been prepared.
The generals were gearing up and preparing to lead their armies to Tuyuhun to show off their skills.
However, at this moment, there was a memorial and a lowering of the rank, which were rushed to the palace at a cost of 800 miles.
After reading this surrender and memorial, Li Shimin was speechless for a long time.
Next, Li Shimin called together civil and military ministers of sufficient rank and held an internal meeting.
"This is the memorial from Tuyuhun, and the other is the memorial from the King of Shu. You should all take a look."
After saying this, the powerful man picked up the surrender form and memorial and distributed them to the ministers below.
The first person to look at it was Changsun Wuji. After reading the memorial and the surrender, Changsun Wuji showed an expression of extreme astonishment on his face.
"This, how is this possible..."
Fang Xuanling, who was under Changsun Wuji, couldn't help but asked curiously: "Zhao Guogong, what happened? What exactly is written on this surrender form?"
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, not to mention Fang Xuanling, were all curious.
Changsun Wuji, a sinister man, had a very deep city and had always been intangible with his emotions and anger.
For him to be so surprised, it shows that something big really happened.
But what happened that made him look so surprised?
To be able to surprise Changsun Wuji so much must be a big deal.
But the old Yinbi didn't say anything, so they could only make random guesses in their hearts, and became even more curious about the watch and the memorial.
Starting from the eldest son Wuji, all the major civil and military officials read this list one by one.
All the officials who saw it had shocked expressions on their faces.
This made those officials who had not seen it yet feel even more heartbroken.
After a while, everyone had seen it.
First of all, Jagged Jingde was not happy, and couldn't help but said angrily: "This King of Shu is not interesting enough! I finally had a chance to fight, but I didn't expect that he would take the lead."
Cheng Yaojin also said angrily: "That's right, everything is ready here and we are about to leave. You tell us that you have captured Tuyuhun? You have taken off your pants. Show it to me, old Cheng."
this?"
As soon as Cheng Yaojin finished speaking, a burst of laughter burst out in the hall.
Well, Cheng Yaojin learned this last sentence from his son Cheng Chuliang.
The first time Cheng Chuliang said this in front of Cheng Yaojin, he was caught and beaten by Cheng Yaojin.
Then, Cheng Yaojin himself learned this sentence.
Li Shimin couldn't help but said with a dark face: "Cheng Yaojin, you are not allowed to speak dirty words in the main hall. As a punishment, I will fine you one month's salary!"
Cheng Yaojin said unhappily: "That's right, my words are rough and my reasoning is not rough. King Shu's handling of this matter is too unreasonable. Isn't this just teasing us old guys!"
Li Shimin pretended not to hear this guy's muttering, and then asked the ministers below: "What do you think about this matter?"
After Li Shimin asked, Cheng Yaojin was the first to say: "Your Majesty, although what the King of Shu did was not honest, I can't help but say a word, well done! That's what he did to his mother! This time, look at him and Tubo and
Tuyuhun, do you dare to jump around again?"
Qin Qiong also stood up and said: "Yes, what the King of Shu did this time is really satisfying. With this battle, there will be no war in the southwest for at least five years! We can just free up our hands to deal with the Turks."
In fact, for Li Shimin, there was a war against the Turks now, and he did not want to start a war with Tuyuhun and the Turks at the same time.
And once the war falls into a state of corruption, beware of Nanzhao launching an attack.
In the past, there was nothing we could do about sending troops and generals.
Since they invaded Datang, they must fight back.
But deep down in his heart, Li Shimin was not willing to start a war on both sides, because it would greatly consume the Tang Dynasty's national power.
But what about now? As soon as the King of Shu took action, the threat of Tuyuhun and the Turks was easily eliminated.
And the solution was perfect.
First, he provoked a war between Tubo and Tuyuhun, causing them both to suffer losses, and then took the opportunity to come forward and capture Tuyuhun in one fell swoop.
As for Datang, there was almost no loss.
This battle was simply won so beautifully.
And Li Shimin felt more and more that the situation in the southwest, which was originally a place of three wars, has become more and more stable since the King of Shu arrived.
Following the generals, the civil servants also came out to express their appreciation to the King of Shu.
Changsun Wuji stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, this battle with the King of Shu has established the peace of Southwest within five years. It has also saved the court countless grains and supplies. The King of Shu can be called a wise king of his generation!"
After Changsun Wuji, other ministers also praised him one after another.
Hearing these words of praise for the King of Shu, Li Shimin smiled and felt honored.
After all the civil and military officials had finished their compliments, and after a moment of reflection, Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "I am going to let the King of Shu take charge of the entire Jiannan Road and sit in the southwest. This way, the southwest can truly be stabilized and there will be no worries. I don't know what you all think.
How about that!"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but said loudly: "Okay! The king of Shu will take charge of the southwest. Let's see who among them dares to jump!"
Other generals also expressed their agreement.
As for the civil servants, they collectively fell into silence.
This is a whole Tao!
In the current Tang Dynasty, every Tao has no permanent chief.
Only inspectors and other officials will be dispatched to inspect the situation of officials in this area.
After the inspection is completed, the rights will be taken back immediately.
But now, the emperor wants to hand over the entire Tao to the King of Shu to manage.
In Changsun Wuji's mind, the words "King of the Southwest" came to mind.
After taking charge of Jiannan Road, the King of Shu truly became the King of Southwest.
However, he did not have enough reasons to object to this matter.
First of all, the King of Shu has just made a great contribution. This contribution is too great and must be rewarded.
Secondly, in order to maintain stability in the southwest, the emperor's decision is actually advisable.
If it were just a land of Yizhou, it would be difficult to ensure the stability of the southwest.
And if the King of Shu can control the entire Jiannan Road, then as long as the King of Shu is there, I believe the southwest can maintain stability.
Naturally there are reasons to object.
First of all, there has never been any precedent for this before.
Secondly, has the emperor really never considered that if you give the King of Shu such great power, what will he do if the King of Shu has other ideas?
