Two hundred and thirty-three back roads
On May 15, the fifth year of Zhenguan, in the Western Turkic Royal Court, the Tang Empire negotiation team headed by Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County of the Tang Empire, and the Turkic negotiation team headed by the Great Turkic Khanate, Ashina Niri Khan, exchanged views on the major issues of harmony, friendship, and common development and progress between the Tang Empire and the Great Turkic Khanate in the Council Hall of the Western Turkic Royal Court, and conducted in-depth discussions on this matter. It brought together all the opinions of all the people, and it became the first formal alliance treaty with supreme legal effect that was recognized by both sides in the history of Shijie.
This treaty is known as the "Royal Court Treaty" by later generations, a total of five paragraphs and seventy-two articles, the specific details are not listed one by one, mainly around how the two sides abide by the content of the treaty, abide by the code of conduct and mutual assistance, as well as the punishment after violating the treaty, such as the Tang Dynasty merchants in the territory of the Western Turks to do something unpleasant, must be heard by the representatives of the Tang garrison and the representatives of the Western Turks, not to be tried privately, let alone abuse lynching, once discovered, the Tang Empire reserves all the power to sanction, The final interpretation right belongs to Datang.
There is also a series of provisions on the Datang garrison, including the area, scope of activities, and rights and obligations, as well as the responsibilities of the Datang garrison, as well as the role of the Datang garrison in the process of mutual benefit between the two sides.
There is also the mutual exemption of customs duties when the two sides are reciprocal and the Turkic merchants come to Datang to do business. Exemption from tariffs, Datang merchants to do business in Turkic, also exempt from tariffs, of course, transactions in the market are subject to tax, the specific share to be subdivided, the general environment is not considered, this is the most basic mutual trust between the two sides, the final interpretation of this clause belongs to Datang.
The material support of the Tang Empire for the Western Turkic Khanate, as agreed between the two sides before the war, will definitely be fulfilled, by the way, in order to show sincerity. And facilitate future business exchanges. To ensure the economic interests of both sides, it is recommended that the two sides jointly agree on the exchange rate of the currency of the Western Turks -- cattle, sheep and horses -- to the goods of the Tang Dynasty, and to determine it in the form of law to regulate commercial trade behavior. so as not to cause unnecessary disputes and problems. Make both parties unhappy. The final interpretation of this clause belongs to Datang.
………… The final interpretation right belongs to Datang.
………… The final interpretation right belongs to Datang.
………… The final interpretation right belongs to Datang.
Anyway, a sentence will be added at the end of each clause that the final interpretation right belongs to Datang, and the summary of the treaty also indicates that the final interpretation right belongs to Datang. Then the two sides signed, drew the charge, Li Xiaogong invited Li Erbixia to specially authorize the use of the emperor's jade seal, stamped the seal, said that it was passed, and then waited for the text of the treaty to be reviewed by the emperor and Menxia Province after the seal was stamped and uploaded to the country's jade seal, which officially took effect.
Ashina Ni expressed puzzlement about this, mainly in two aspects, one is why the treaty still needs to be adopted by three parties? If one aspect is not adopted, is it not a treaty that has not succeeded? So what's the point of us talking so much? The second is what does it mean that the final interpretation right belongs to Datang? What is the right of final interpretation?
Suning smiled indifferently, and first explained that the meaning of the three-way trial is that this treaty is very important, the emperor is not good at being arbitrary, and he must discuss with his courtiers, and everyone agrees that after the jade seal of the country is stamped, in order to show importance and absolute compliance, this is the embodiment of the responsibility of the Tang Dynasty as a superpower, reflecting the people-oriented, concerned about the people's livelihood of the society, and the national image of foreign friends haode, as for this final interpretation right, it is so, so, Anyway, if you listen to me, you can't go wrong......
Ashina Ni was a headache by Suning, although he didn't understand, but it seemed that there was nothing that could not be done, so he nodded, signed and signed, officially saying that the Great Turkic Khanate agreed to this covenant, this covenant in the Great Turkic Khanate has legal benefits, Suning and Li Xiaogong happily played the crown to celebrate, happily danced the wildest dance of the Western Turks with Ashina Ni, and celebrated together that the Western Turks have fallen into the reincarnation of never being reborn...... Ah......h It has officially entered the era of the development of civilization.
The Tang Empire will use the most civilized way, the most civilized use, and the most civilized language to bring into this uncivilized land, so that the people and livestock here will be bathed in the glory of the Tang civilization, and the people and livestock here will experience how desirable the civilization of the Tang Empire is!
The article also stipulates information about the immigration of both sides, that is, if the people of both sides voluntarily join the other party's country to live, they must not be hindered, and the people of the Western Turks will be given the status of residents of the Tang Dynasty when they come to Datang, and they will be protected and enjoy everything that the people of Datang enjoy; Once the Tang Dynasty overseas Chinese are violated, the Tang garrison has the right to exercise the right to defend the overseas Chinese, and similarly, if the Western Turkic overseas Chinese are violated, they will also invite the Western Turkic Office in the Tang Dynasty to conduct a trial, the only difference is that the Western Turks did not garrison troops in the Tang Dynasty, and they did not have the strength and necessity.
After the signing of the treaty and everyone's all-night party, on the afternoon of the next day, Sun Chong, the head of Suning Suding, and others took 500 soldiers with the greatest merit, leaving 3,000 soldiers to guard, leaving the Western Turkic court and heading towards the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, these are all reflected in the future, now at this time, Suning and a group of soldiers are like arrows, the three thousand soldiers are waiting hard to continue the arrangement, but the five hundred selected soldiers are happy, from the ninth day of April in the fifth year of Zhenguan to the sixteenth day of May now, it has been more than a month, although the time is relatively short compared with other battles, but no matter when, it is quite a glorious thing to return to China triumphantly, especially in the era of Datang that pays attention to military merits, The status of the soldiers who returned triumphantly was quite high.
Of course, these soldiers are all government soldiers. They will return to their military palace and continue to live their own lives, everyone has their own life track, which will never change, although Suning wants to make some changes to this, but the naked reality is that this change is difficult to carry out, any change about the country must be operated carefully, and a little carelessness is a social tragedy.
Moreover, Datang is still in an era of crisis, and internal and external troubles have never stopped. How to circumvent these. Or to strangle these risks in the cradle, these are all things that Suning has to consider, and the most urgent thing at the moment is, of course, his own business. It's also a lot of things for a lot of people in the military. What Li Xiaogong said to him this time gave him a wake-up call. Why is the so-called Mu Xiu in the forest wind must destroy such words so popular? Or even become an unspoken rule? Everyone, are you so tired of looking down on a stunning person?
An era always needs the existence of some people, and only with their existence will there be human progress, but weishenme. China advocates moderation like this, and wishes everyone was exactly the same factory assembly line product? Suning thinks that this is still a problem of the system, the haode system can give birth to the haode problem, and a bad system will make everything unsolvable, how to establish a haode system at this time, how to protect those who are amazing, or also shamelessly protect themselves, Suning feels that it is very necessary to discuss this issue.
In fact, Suning has already thought of some solutions to this matter, the so-called flying birds are good bows and cunning rabbits and dead lackeys are just because a person has been promoted to the point where he can no longer be promoted, so he will be regarded as a threat to the throne, but if you can find some retreat for these people in the system, although there is no way to completely solve this problem, but at least, you can save these people's lives, isn't it? By the way, it would be best to continue to cultivate some excellent students, and continue to die from generation to generation.
School.
Open a school, in such a special era, there is no universal school era, open a school, with the current people's yearning for cultural knowledge and respect for the teacher, opening a school is the most haode retreat, every courtier who has no reward and no reward is actually as long as he has a little brain, he can resign, enter the school, take care of his life, and then train students, on the one hand, to protect himself, on the other hand, he will not let his talent completely lose his successor.
Now everyone understands the importance of talent and talent, but in this era, there is nothing more important than status and power, especially for the emperor, nothing is more important than his throne, for the courtiers, the end of too much power is death, there is no second way, all the ministers and ministers of the power of this kind of particularly powerful ministers, either rebel and self-reliance, or be killed, there is no good end, but they are all talented people.
Although there is no way to determine the specific details at this time, the political affairs are too complicated, but the things in the army can not be easily handled, the establishment of the military school is actually very feasible, the most haode principal candidate is actually Li Jing, the credit is too great, and there will be no good end if it continues, but if such a military talent is wasted, or only one of his own heirs, is it a pity? The army of the Tang Dynasty needs to continue to exist, and the talents in the army are also indispensable, and the existence of the military academy can ensure that the inheritance of those famous generals will not be severed.
Every military general who has made too great feats and is regarded as a dangerous person, as long as he is sober-minded, can resign from the table, enter the military academy to teach, use his rich experience and military skills to teach the next generation of Datang military elites, and contribute to the standardization of the Datang military, on the one hand, to protect their own safety, on the other hand, they can continue to contribute, and win the name of a teacher, why not?
It's a big deal to add the word royal in front of the names of these schools, the emperor is the principal, or the honorary principal, and every emperor is the principal, so will Li Erbixia be unwilling? Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, he occupies two of them alone, will he be unwilling? Will those celebrities who are worried about their way out be unwilling? Suning doesn't believe it!
With the military school Zhuyu in front, in fact, other schools can also be considered, such as the earliest time Suning considered the science and technology school and the political and legal school, one to cultivate jishu talents, one to cultivate political talents, the three aspects work together, for the whole Tang Dynasty to recruit students, and at the same time establish a complete set of education system, divided by the local administrative level, the county level of the state level and the provincial level, zuihou is the highest school in Chang'an, so that primary school, junior high school, high school, Isn't that how the educational process of a university is established? As for all that is needed, paper? Book? Typography? Suning has already figured it out and handed it over to Li Erbixia to study, for such a long time, will Li Erbixia have no results and preparation?
Only one opportunity, a very important opportunity, this opportunity has been achieved, everything can be handled smoothly, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed! (To be continued......)
