Chapter 959 The overall situation has been decided
"yes……"
"I am taking the initiative to think about my son, so I will definitely take my son's thoughts into consideration in the future."
"So, I should be able to be a good father and help my son avoid the same fate as the former Tang deposed crown prince."
Li Cunxi sighed, feeling mixed emotions.
"Since ancient times."
"The emperor has many extraordinary abilities."
He put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked to the half-open window.
"The First Emperor of Qin unified the six kingdoms, pacified the country, standardized weights and measures, standardized the writing system and the wheel gauge, and built the Great Wall to defend the north against the Huns."
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is considered an emperor of all times. He demonstrated the might of the Han Dynasty and fought wars year after year, making the world dare not underestimate the Han Dynasty."
"His Majesty, the former Emperor Taizong of Tang, commanded the army on horseback and pacified the people on foot. He seized the land and the people, and hunted down heroes from all directions."
Li Cunxi's eyes were dark and unclear.
Three eternal emperors.
There was no prince who could succeed them.
What's the reason?
It's not the prince's fault, but the emperor himself.
Wu Yanhao stood behind Li Cunxi, lowered his head, not knowing what to say.
"Pity Fusu, Liu Ju, and Uncle Li Chengqian."
Li Cunxi had a complicated expression on his face and looked back at the recorder who was kneeling on the ground recording his words and deeds.
"you……"
"It's from the Fanyang Lu family, right?"
"Then write down everything I said."
"If I later commit the same sins as the First Emperor, Emperor Wu of Han, and the former Emperor Taizong of Tang... then let future generations know."
"I, like them, am a tyrant ruler, a tyrant who should be condemned by history."
Wu Yanhao's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty..."
"No need to persuade me, Yanhao."
Li Cunxi held his forehead and felt his brain become clear from chaos.
It seems that as long as I say all these words, the pent-up anger in my heart will be swept away.
"The first emperor of Qin failed to recognize the petty intrigues of his ministers, which ultimately led to the demise of the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty."
"Emperor Wu of Han was extremely incompetent and wanted everything. He forced the Crown Prince to death out of his supposed fear of his foreign relatives becoming too powerful. In the end, it was the Huo family who stabilized the Han Dynasty. Although they had the name, they nearly ruined the Han Dynasty."
"Emperor Taizong... I cannot comment, but Uncle Li Chengqian is truly innocent."
"In the future, if I commit the same mistake as these three people, I will be ridiculed for eternity and become infamous!"
……
After Wang Xiaojie set foot on the Turkic border, he contacted Feng Yang several times.
The two men hit it off immediately on the issue of conquering the tribes near Liangzhou, and immediately agreed to launch an attack on the tribes near Liangzhou at the end of April.
After the war in the north came to an end, the war was finally ushered in once again with the sound of drums and gongs.
After careful consideration, the Turks, the Shi Kingdom, and the Right Dragon Guard General Daleha sent people to deliver food and grass to the border. He also discussed with Li Wanshan, Sun Xiangzhou, Li Yuanfang, Wang Jinghui and others, and finally sent an urgent shipment of 800 miles to the south.
Li Cunxi received the expedited document, which was sent over 800 miles away, on April 22nd, less than nine days before his birthday.
At this moment when spring returns to the earth, this document, like a flower bud on a branch, gives Li Cunxi a different feeling.
"The overall situation of the Turkic people has been determined. Daleha requests that the court divide the Turkic people into states according to the Tang Dynasty's plan."
"At the same time, the provincial governors, provincial governors, and military officers of each state will be dispatched. The garrison will still be under the charge of the Right Dragon Guard."
"As soon as the imperial edict arrives, he will lead Li Wanshan, Sun Xiangzhou, and other Khitan nobles south to Luoyang to meet the emperor."
The situation in the north was very clear at the moment. Daleha also understood that if he stayed outside for too long, it would easily arouse the emperor's fear, so he planned to go south directly.
As for the Right Dragon Guard army, he planned to hand it over to Deputy General Liu Cheng. After he left, Deputy General Liu Cheng would become the highest military commander of the Right Dragon Guard and be stationed in the Turkic territory.
The Turks who have just surrendered to the Tang Dynasty are not yet trustworthy enough. The Right Dragon Guard stationed here can effectively solve a lot of troubles that should not have occurred.
After closing the document, Li Cunxi let out a breath.
Wu Yanhao, who was sitting behind the desk handling government affairs for him, leaned over the desk and sighed for a long time.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will never dare to show off to you again."
"That won't do. Go take care of your government affairs. I have other things to tell you later."
"No, Your Majesty, I was just showing off my precious daughter, you can't punish me!"
"Promise your daughter to my son as the Crown Princess, and I will let you go."
"no!"
"Then you just keep going."
"Just do it."
The emergency meeting was held two hours later. It was getting dark and the imperial kitchen had already prepared the meal and was waiting in the government hall.
Several ministers came to the imperial study and bowed to Li Cunxi.
"His Majesty."
Wu Chengsi had an ugly expression on his face, and from time to time he glanced at Wu Yanhao who was drinking tea.
He really didn't expect that his son could now enter and leave the government hall at will and still be so ignorant of etiquette.
What does it mean to eat Li Cunxi’s pastries while half lying down?
"Sit down, Ma Rong, and let the ministers take a good look at this urgent document that has traveled eight hundred miles.
Several ministers took the expedited document from 800 miles away and checked its contents one by one.
After reading it, several ministers looked at each other quietly, and finally Duoduo stood up and said to Li Cunxi:
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"In today's Tang Dynasty, the stability of the north is crucial to the people's livelihood and the country. Establishing prefectures and counties in the former Turkic territory is in line with the current situation."
"I request Your Majesty to establish prefectures and counties within the former Turkic territory."
The territory of the Turks was probably the later Inner Mongolia and parts of Outer Mongolia.
It is indeed necessary to establish prefectures and counties here.
Li Cunxi leaned back and said to Duoduo:
"This matter is under the charge of Shangshu Zuo Pushe."
Duoduo was extremely grateful: "I obey your command!"
"Now that the Turkic homeland has been arranged, the establishment of prefectures and counties in Khitan should also be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Before the Khitan era, there was only one Guicheng Prefecture, and the remaining lands were basically similar garrisons.
Many of the bases didn't even have names.
Now that the Khitans have surrendered, we can divide the areas and establish prefectures and counties in advance. Once Li Wanshan and others enter the Tang Dynasty, we can leave this matter alone.
After experiencing the depression of becoming a father, Li Cunxi finally encountered good things that made him happy.
"Send a letter north to Daleha. Do as he says. Also, it's time for General Li Yuanfang to lead the army alone..."
"Let Wang Jinghui come back with them."
……
It’s spring and the scenery is bright and beautiful.
On the Turkic border, Wang Xiaojie led his troops to fight.
Feng Yang from Liangzhou led 50,000 Right Leopard Guards out of Liangzhou and joined forces with Wang Xiaojie to attack a large number of tribes near Liangzhou.
An urgent document from Luoyang was delivered to Shiguo. After reading it, Daleha immediately handed over his military power. Wang Jinghui also transferred the military power of the Golden Horde Guard to Li Yuanfang.
In order to make Li Yuanfang's path to commanding the army smoother, Daleha sent people to call Liu Cheng, Li Bushang, who were temporarily in charge of the military power, and An Du, the deputy commander of the Golden Horde Guard, to make the final arrangements.
After everything was arranged, Daleha led everyone on the journey back to the capital.
