After two or three years of turmoil, Datang's politics seem to have finally stabilized.

The serious threat from the northwest was almost completely resolved, and the 36 countries of the Western Regions that rebelled and were auspicious at the time had all become yesterday's yellow flowers, and the ministers of the Western Regions, who were selected from the Fujian and Tang courts, were almost all busy from their military positions and became parents and officials, and the original 36 countries were placed in 36 prefectures and counties and assigned county officials.

As for those unruly people from the Western Regions, almost all of them were scattered, one village for the Rouran people, one village for the Scythian people, one village for the Anxi people, and another village for the Qiuzi people, and they couldn't see each other, even if the rebellion was on the largest scale, there was only one village, and there was no need for officials and troops to dispatch, and the county order was issued, and several other villages with old grievances were put to peace.

This set is still learned from Genghis Khan, the reason why the Mongol army condensed into a force enough to sweep across the Eurasian continent is that Temujin broke up the original feuding tribes, and no tribe can fight against the Khan power with its own strength, so it can only fight bravely in the direction pointed by Su Luding's spear.

Now the Western Regions are similar.,Who is close to the capital protectorate.,Actively sinicization.,When distributing water sources and pastures, the more fertile and abundant they get.,As for the stubborn.,Then gnaw the grass roots! Coupled with the continuous migration from the mainland, under this trend, it will not take a few decades for the Western Regions to be completely subdued by the Central Plains regime, just like the Hexi Corridor.

As for the Turks, seeing a million Hu cavalry sweeping the Western Regions, the Western Turkic tribes were also frightened, in April of the fourth year of Mingfeng, hundreds of Turkic leaders came to Chang'an uninvited, and the dead face had to give Li Jie the title of Heavenly Khan, and he couldn't beat him away.

The old opponent Tubo is even more settled, Zampu Mangsong Mangzan was shot by a sniper musket when retreating, lead bullets suppurated and erosive in the wound This era is incomprehensible, when he retreated to Qinghai Tuyuhun sweat tent, he was already poisonous, full of resentment and died on the Qinghai prairie, Tuyuhun is a thorough pursuit of the grassland survival law, Mangsong Mangzan died, Tuyuhun all the wolves plundered the Tubo army.

Less than 20,000 of the 70,000 Tibetan troops returned to Luoqicheng, so that Chi Malun, who had returned from the Western Regions, had to ask Li Jie for help and asked the Tang Dynasty to restrain the Tuyuhun tribe.

Xue Yantuo has long been in decline and is not a threat, and as for Goguryeo, it has already been broken in the Gojong era.

If it weren't for the fact that the army of King Hengshan was still attacking outside Luoyang City, casually calling him Emperor Zhao, after the army of Li Zhen of Yue and Fu Shunyi converged in the two Huai, Li Zhen also called himself Emperor of Dayue, it would be peaceful in the world!

Every day, the ministers of the court and the central government are on pins and needles for the two rebels in the east, and they are eager to immediately send troops to cut down the rebels of the two kings.

Moreover, the two kings have been called emperors, which has caused great pressure on the politics of the entire Guanzhong, we are the real emperors in Guanzhong, what are you Kanto families doing with blindly?

This is not only a matter of changing the emperor, it is very likely to be a large-scale victory of the Guandong Gate Valve against the Northwest nobles, and all the ministers of Chang'an are so anxious that their mouths are bubbling with fire, but the emperor is not in a hurry for the eunuchs, and in the face of the challenge of a brother and a cousin, Li Jie himself has no intention of being in a hurry.

When Li Jie took over, there were more than 300,000 troops in Guanzhong, plus his own army, in addition to staying in the northwest, the entire army near Chang'an was as many as 700,000, such a number of officers and soldiers, eating and sleeping well near Chang'an every day, just not out of Tongguan, Luoyang Shenwu Army Commander Qiu Shenshu was beaten and released cruel words, and there were no reinforcements within ten days, so he surrendered Luoyang to Emperor Zhao.

However, twenty-three days have passed, not a single soldier has left the customs, of course, Qiu Shenzhen did not dare to surrender, after all, he still knows who is strong and who is weak, the Fujian and Tang Dynasty armies are notorious, and Li Jin is a well-known exterminator, in case he surrenders, the army in the pass will roll out again, and the name of a traitor will be all over.

Although 20,000 people fought against more than 100,000 troops, Qiu Shenshu still had to scold the eight ancestors of the princes of Chang'an and grit his teeth to hold on.

The envoy from Luoyang who came to ask for help even asked the old man who cleaned up the toilet in the office of the prime minister of Dongtai and Xitai, and it was not that no one had told Li Jie to be in a hurry, but when it came to the matter of going to war, Emperor Min, who had always been known for his good war, surprisingly took care of him every time, what military food was not enough, what divination was not good for going to war, anyway, he was dragging it out and not sending troops.

Well, if you don't send troops, you won't send troops, it's a big deal that you don't want to be in the eastern part of the country, anyway, the Western Wei Dynasty has also come over for so many years, but what makes Chang'an's important ministers even more dissatisfied is that Li Jie's procrastination has committed again, and now he is not the emperor.

Logically speaking, Li Jie has already been proclaimed emperor in Constantinople, but Huaxia is the most ceremonial, in the eyes of the scholars of Chang'an, if he does not claim the title of emperor in Chang'an, and sacrifices to heaven and earth, and worships the ancestral tomb, it is not orthodox.

Now that there are two emperors in the east and one in the south, Chang'an, who has not inherited orthodoxy, really broke the hearts of the ministers and wore out their mouths.

However, these days Li Jie is not just for pleasure, he is indeed doing practical things, as promised, Li Jie sent 100,000 prisoners of war in the Western Regions, transferred rice and grain from Tianzhu from Bashu, and repaired the Zhengguo Canal and the Yellow River Road, the Grand Canal and other water conservancy projects on a large scale.

It's just that fighting a war while building water conservancy is really a bit grotesque.

Fortunately, at the end of April, Li Jie did something that seemed to be a big move by the ministers, recruiting all the kings of the world to enter Chang'an and go to Zhaoling to worship their ancestors!

If he succeeds to the throne in front of all the kings of the world, it is orthodox enough! The prime ministers of Chang'an, who had been tossed by Li Jie and were a little confused, were busy and ordered things to continue.

Li Jie's time to worship his ancestors was too hasty, and there was also Li Kan, the king of Hengshan, and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, in Luoyang in the east, and the rebels of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, were blocked, and in fact, the king of Fan who could come was only related to Bashu, and in a month, more than 20 kings of Fan and the king of the county all arrived on time.

There are heavy soldiers near Chang'an, these King of Fan can't come in time, among so many King Fan, the last to arrive, the most heavyweight is Li Jie's brother, the King of Shu Li Su and his wife.

Outside the Phoenix Gate in the southwest of Chang'an City, the armor warriors rushed out with the white sails for sacrifice, guarding on both sides of the road, the grand horse team protruded from the city gate in turn, the fresh clothes and angry horses, the mighty and mighty, it was more than 10,000 people.

The political purpose of this sacrifice can be smelled by anyone with a discerning eye, and almost all the officials, nobles, and clans of Chang'an have been dispatched, and it is estimated that they will have to wait for the next life, and even the seventy and eighty officials and dozens of sick people have dragged their sick bodies to follow on the road, which shows the grandeur of this ceremony, and almost all the magnates of Chang'an have come.

Li Zhi has never sacrificed to Emperor Taizong so ceremoniously, but it was Li Jie, who was not very welcome to him when he died, and he didn't know what Li Shimin would think if he knew about it?

It is inconvenient to take a car for the sacrifice, so Li Jie also rode a horse, and the queen and the former prince Li Zhong actually followed him, even with the three concubines, the prime minister Wang Xuance, Wang Fangyi, and more than 40 Fujian and Tang generals followed behind him, among the ten thousand people, Li Jie's domineering spirit at this time was undoubtedly revealed.

If according to the normal order, the prime ministers and the princes of the clan can follow the emperor directly, but now, a large group of old ministers of Fujian and Tang Dynasties have firmly separated the positions of the two, and the meaning of this intimacy can be seen at a glance.

Shangguan Yi, Liu Daoxiang, Wei Yuanzhong and more than a dozen other prime ministers, the prince of the clan was full of jealousy, and whispered a few words to each other from time to time behind his back.

Zhaoling is not far from Li Fuguo's disaster in Liquan County, more than 20 kilometers to the north of the Jiuzhi Mountain, starting from Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty opened the era of the mountain as the mausoleum, although it does not occupy the field, and it is considered to save some projects, but the sacrifice is particularly troublesome.

Saying that Li Su was late, what he said was not wrong at all, it was too late in time, and he had been at the gate of Liquan County, and this party had just caught up with the sacrificial procession.

Unlike being implicated in the rebellion case and being placed under house arrest in history, next to Li Jie's Indochina Peninsula, guarding the ancient tea horse road, the king of Shu in this life Li Su can live a much more nourished life, and he has no big pursuit, he actually has a tendency to develop like the king of Shu in the Ming Dynasty, and he has become fat into a ball.

Far away, the guards had already stepped forward to check, and after a little red tape, Li Su arrived in front of Li Jie very smoothly, and the fat man turned over and dismounted very obediently, kneeling on the side of the road.

"Meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Come less!" Before he could put it down, Li Jie had already jumped off the horse with a big laugh, stretched out his hand and dragged him up, laughed and patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Old boy, you don't want to swing!" So slow! ”

was poked of the trick, Li was not afraid, and said with a laugh: "Back in the palace, it always seemed that you were the elder brother and I was the younger brother, how could I, the elder brother, be bullied by you all the time." ”

"It's up to you!" snorted disdainfully, but Li Jie pulled Li Su to turn over and get on the horse again, and walked forward side by side, while walking, Li Jie also asked curiously: "Why didn't the mother concubine and the third brother come?" ”

"Don't mention it, the mother concubine heard that you killed the tenth child and occupied Chang'an, and I don't know why, I have to go to Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate, the third brother is afraid that the mother concubine will have something, so he went to accompany him, so he didn't come."

"If you want me to say, this throne should have been your ninth child, eighteen brothers, which one dares like you, if your father passed on to you back then, maybe the Tang Dynasty is much stronger than now, and the mother concubine is really ......"

Li Su was still talking in fragments, but Li Jie, who heard this, was silent for a moment, then resumed his smiling face, patted Li Su's shoulder to divert the topic, and said some interesting things about the foreign land, and the atmosphere of the two brothers was much better.

"It's comparable to the original Emperor Jing and King Liang!" Looking at this scene from a distance, the newly promoted prime minister Wang Dezhen muttered with great envy, seeing that Jiuzhi Mountain was already close at hand, the upstart of the Tang Dynasty suddenly lowered his voice, and whispered to the prime minister beside him, and the clan said hurriedly.

"Can you not be pressed under the feet of that group of Jingshi clans, just look at this move! Ladies and gentlemen! ”

The spirit was awe-inspiring, and there were more than a dozen prime ministers around, and the nine secretaries of the clan were all in awe-inspiring spirits, and they agreed in an uproar, but they each counted Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
