  Chapter 623 Kaijiang

When Qin Lang wanted to rebel, Hou Junji gathered a lot of evidence of his so-called rebellion in Longyou to the emperor of Luoyang, but he didn't know that after the emperor opened and read his secret performance, he put it directly in the brazier It was burned, and nothing was left behind.

  Qin Lang is not only the son-in-law of the emperor, but also the prime minister of the emperor. Not long ago, he was granted a golden coupon to avoid death by the emperor himself, and it was specially decreed that he would be buried with the Taimiao in Zhaoling after his death.

  Hou Junji's so-called evidence of treason, in the eyes of the emperor who fought countless wars in the South and North, is just the most normal behavior of a frontline commander. Although some points are indeed debatable, but after Qin Lang destroyed the country, these details are not worth mentioning.

   "The battle is over, the Xikaidao Camp and the Xikaidao Jiedu Mission should be withdrawn."

  Luoyang Palace, in Zichen Palace.

  Kaifuyi, the third division, and Situ Changsun Wuji were the first to bring up this matter. In fact, this matter has been discussed for a long time, but the emperor has never spoken, and it is difficult for anyone to speak first. But seeing that the emperor kept silent, the eldest grandson still spoke for the emperor.

"In my Tang Dynasty, the government army system was the basic military system. In peacetime, the government soldiers worked in agriculture, and the generals sat in the yamen. In wartime, the military government dispatched troops, and the guard government appointed generals. After the war, the soldiers returned to the government, and the generals returned to the guard. This is the system. Now the war Ping, you should act according to the usual practice."

  The emperor's beard is a little unshaven today, his eyes are a little haggard, it seems that he didn't sleep well all night.

   "Qin Lang is a member of Zhongshu's family. Now that the battle in Longyou has subsided, he will return to the government as a soldier, and the prime minister will return to the central government." The left servant of Shangshu Fang Xuanling also spoke.

Zhongshu ordered Wen Yanbo to mention another matter, "This year's national luck is good. The summer harvest will be bumper throughout the country, and the autumn harvest will be bumper. Yujia returned to Xijing."

  The people have a bumper harvest for three years, there is no war, and there is still food left for one year. Nine years of good harvests in a row, with three years of grain remaining, means one harvest, two equal harvests, eighteen years of good harvests, and three harvests means twenty-seven years of good harvests, with nine years of surplus grain. It is for peace.

  Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been wars of unification, sudden wars, droughts, floods, locust plagues, the destruction of Turks, and another three years of cold snaps and frost disasters, and now they have finally survived.

   This is already the third good year, and the imperial court has finally been able to accumulate surplus food again.

  At the beginning, in order to eat the emperor, he led his royal family, brought civil and military forces, and the imperial army to Luoyang, and made Luoyang the accompanying capital.

   Now that the East Turks are also exterminated, Tuyuhun is also exterminated, Dangxiang has also surrendered, and there is a surplus of food. Wen Yanbo thinks that this time is not talking about other things, but about moving back to Chang'an.

Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, he thinks that the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting in the fifth year of Zhenguan should be held in Chang'an, so that the Quartet vassal states can have a new experience of the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, instead of meeting in this simple Luoyang Palace Quartet messengers.

   After all, although Luoyang is quite big, after the unification battle, it was indeed seriously damaged, especially the Luoyang Palace. Many main halls were demolished, and it was not suitable for the emperor to stay here for a long time.

  Even if it is used as a companion capital, it should be repaired when conditions permit in the future and then come to live.

  Servant Yang Shidao also agreed to move back to Chang'an.

   "Then prepare, move back to Chang'an before Tianhan." The emperor agreed to the proposal of returning to Chang'an without even asking the other prime ministers.

  Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Dai Zhou, Xiao Yu and other prime ministers participated in politics, and no one objected. At this time, there was neither a food crisis nor the Longyou War, and moving back to Chang'an was a matter of course.

  Everyone is also willing to return to Chang'an.

  After quickly reaching an agreement to move back to Chang'an, Changsun Wuji brought up the old matter again.

   "Your Majesty, the Western Expedition is over, the battalion should be withdrawn, the generals should return to the court, and the government soldiers should return to the government."

   Li Shimin sat quietly and listened.

  The Battle of Tuyuhun was indeed fought beautifully and unexpectedly. Although it was a bit risky, the result was too beautiful. Li Shimin never thought that Qin Lang could succeed in one battle, and now the facts have proved that it is indeed so successful.

  Fu Yun's dry head has been sent to Luoyang. The emperor and the prime ministers have seen it, and it was sent back to Chang'an to be placed in the Taimiao.

  The battle was over, and he and the prime ministers discussed the aftermath many times. There was still some controversy over Tuyuhun's disposal, but the war was indeed over.

  The remaining tribesmen in Tuyuhun also surrendered one after another and took the initiative to attach themselves. No one dared to try to resist.

  Qin Lang has been in Longyou for two years, and he has performed surprisingly well. Two battles in Longyou and one battle in the Western Expedition brought down the Dangxiang and destroyed Tuyuhun.

   This kid doesn't know what's going on now, has the wind and frost in Longyou made this kid mature and stable?

It's time to call him back. Li Shimin naturally doesn't believe the evidence of Hou Junji's impeachment, but he also sees some problems. It seems that Qin Lang is no longer the boy he used to be. Qin Lang was young and brave, but straightforward . But now, something is obviously different.

  There used to be some misunderstandings and estrangement between their monarch and ministers, and they have been a little estranged in the past two years. It is time to call him back and increase their intimacy.

  Under the advice of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other prime ministers participating in the government, Li Shimin issued an edict to stop the Xikaidao camp and dismiss the Xikaidao Jiedu envoy.

  Qin Lang dismissed Xikaidao's marching chief, Xikaidao Jiedu envoy, Longyou Dao Xuanfu envoy, Diezhou governor and other foreign posts.

  Send envoys to proclaim the decree to recruit and return to the court.

  Xue Wanche took over as governor and governor of Diezhou, and Liang Jianfang became governor of Taozhou······

  The envoy sent to Longyou to meet Qin Lang also carried another edict, in addition to granting Hou Junji Xihaidao Xuanfu envoy.

  When the envoy left Luoyang, the imperial court was already preparing to move back to Xijing.

  In Luoyang Palace, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat in the night and admired the moonlight. The autumn night was cold, the stars were beautiful, and the moon was bright.

   "I heard that many people are impeaching Saburo?" Empress Changsun rarely cared about government affairs.

  Li Shimin hugged the sleeping emperor's ninth son, Li Zhi, and patted his son gently, "Actually, it's nothing. This kid is getting older, and his skills are getting better. He has made a lot of contributions abroad, and he can't help acting a bit domineering."

But the queen looked at her husband and said, "The concubine also knows that Sanlang and His Majesty had a misunderstanding at the beginning, but it has been so long, and Sanlang has been away for a few years, but he has made great achievements again. Now someone is trying to sow discord, Your Majesty Don't listen to slander. Although San Lang is young, he is loyal to His Majesty and is a great talent. Your Majesty must not destroy himself."

   "Besides, Sanlang is still my eldest son-in-law. In a few years, Changle will leave the cabinet and get married. Your Majesty should be careful."

  The queen was right enough to say such a thing, Li Shimin couldn't help being silent.

   To tell the truth, he hasn't slept well these days, and there is a feeling of jealousy in his heart. Especially Hou Junji's secret performance, although he burned it, those words still remained in his mind. He told himself that these were not believable, but in fact he always remembered them.

The merits of this young son-in-law are indeed more and more powerful each time. In the past, he was only able to come up with some quick strategies. Later, he showed his ability in economics and taxation, but now his ability to fight with Qin Lang's troops is getting better and better. Well, the emperor was jealous.

  How can there be such a powerful young man in the world? It's okay to be strong in other aspects, but he is better than him in fighting. He started fighting at the age of sixteen, and he has never fought a few times in his life. He is extremely confident in this aspect. However, Qin Lang achieved a better record than him at a younger age than him.

  Although he also told himself that the battles he had fought in his life were not comparable to Qin Lang's, and he immediately took down half of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Lang just defeated some Xi Rong barbarians.

   But the jealousy in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

   Now, what the empress said made the emperor, who had just passed his thirties, feel alarmed.

  What happened to me? Why are you jealous of the achievements of your courtiers?

   "In fact, the father and son of the Qin family have worked hard, but they are very cautious and low-key. Needless to say, Qin Qiong, Qin Lang has become more and more calm in the past two years. Your Majesty really has no reason to suspect him."

   "How could I be suspicious of Qin Lang?" Li Shimin laughed, but he was a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"I plan to entrust Wuji to the source of Huangshui. In the northwest of Shanzhou and northeast of Xihuhai, I will set up Haiyan Prefecture. Wuji will be enshrined in the world, and his descendants will be hereditary." Li Shimin looked around and said to him, changing the subject, " This place is not bad, suitable for farming and animal husbandry.”

This place was originally the site of the Yifu tribe of Xianbei. During the western conscription, the Yifu tribe was relocated to Qiemo and Shanshan. Li Shimin planned to simply assign the source of the Huanghe River, which was close to Shanzhou, directly to the Dalai Lama. Tang, as a land of feudal lords.

   It can not only award meritorious officials, but also screen the frontier of the vassal. It can also be used as a buffer between the imperial court Zhengzhou and the vassal Tuyuhun.

In Li Shimin's plan, he intends to push the western border of Longyou to the edge of Xihai Lake. In the future, Xihai Lake will be used as the border lake, and along the east side of Xihai Lake, many feudal prefectures will be drawn to continue to implement his plan. Heroic feudal system.

To the south of Xihai Lake, from Dafei Mountain to Jishi Mountain, the east and west are bounded by the Yellow River, the west of the Yellow River belongs to Tuyuhun, and the east of the Yellow River, to the original border area of ​​Longyou, must be included in the territory directly under the Tang Dynasty, as a hero of the world manor.

  As for the north of Qinghai Lake, from Datong Mountain to Qilian Mountain, including the source of the Huanghe River, which is now said to be entrusted to Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin also plans to be included in the direct subordinate of Datang, as the fiefdom for heroes.

   In this way, the western boundary of Longyou in the Tang Dynasty will advance three hundred miles westward.

   More importantly, in this way, the connection between Longyou and Hexi is stronger, and the buffer zone between Datang and Tuyuhun and Dangxiang in the west is larger.

   And this new territory, which is thousands of miles long from north to south and more than 300 miles wide from east to west, can also become an excellent war horse ranch in Datang.

  Empress Changsun didn't expect her husband to suddenly mention her brother's fiefdom. She knew what Haiyan was talking about, but she didn't like to comment on good or bad, so she had to end the topic and concentrate on drinking tea and enjoying the moon.
