The news of the Tang Dynasty fighting and destroying Tuguhun spread far and wide, Chang'an City rejoiced, the people sang and danced, proud of the brilliant victory of the Tang Dynasty again, Zhenguan innovated many policy changes for the people to bring tangible benefits, the people's recognition of the Tang Dynasty Cheng dù greatly increased, which made Li Er Majesty very surprised, directly ordered the night carnival in Chang'an City tonight, and exempted the people of the military prefecture and county where the soldiers were exempted from paying taxes for one year, Areas that have not promoted labor reform and education will be listed as the first priority to popularize the area, as a way to reward the people of these areas for allowing their relatives to go to war and win glory for the country.

The soldiers naturally have military merits to receive, relatives should also be rewarded, Datang is not short of wealth at present, the wealth obtained by the conquest of Tuyuhun after rewarding some meritorious soldiers, there is still a lot of wealth, especially important materials such as cattle, sheep and horses, so that the Tang Dynasty does not need to spend too much effort and wealth to set up Guhun two states, and directly takes local materials for construction, saving a lot of money.

Because of this big victory, Li Er Majesty also specially invited all the officials above the third rank and the nobles above the marquis, and the relatives of the generals were entertained by the eldest grandson Empress in the palace, Tuyuhun can not be regarded as a small country, nor is it a weak country, and it can be regarded as a big victory when it is destroyed in a war, so the royal reward is not excessive, but the generals cannot return to the division for the time being, because there are still many important things to deal with, so there are family members to bear the grace.

Suning was fortunate to be included in the invitation list, not only was he a first-class marquis, but his brother Su Dingfang was listed as the first merit winner in this war, and there were rumors in the palace that Su Dingfang's age and military exploits had reached the requirements of Li Er's majesty to be awarded the title of duke. It is very likely that there will be one more duke in Datang when he returns from this war, and with the emperor's favor for Suning, it is really possible to love the house and Wuxia.

Suning didn't think there was anything wrong with it, Su Dingfang was already in his forties, not young, and he could even be regarded as a Mesozoic general, two years older than Li Shiji, so there was no age problem when he was awarded the title of duke, but the lack of qualifications and military exploits. and I have done it right with Li Er Majesty before. has a criminal record, but with a brother like Suning and an old man like Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang's disadvantage has completely disappeared.

It can be said that even if Su Dingfang is made a duke. There's nothing wrong with that. Li Shiji, who is younger than him, is already a second-class duke. It is very likely that he will be promoted to the chief of staff headquarters after Hou Junji was dismissed from office, and Li Er did not appoint a new chief of staff. Just ordered the original right deputy chief of staff, Gao Shilian, to temporarily act as the chief of staff and preside over the daily work of the staff headquarters, and it was obvious that Li Ermajesty was waiting for Li Shiji to make a great contribution to destroying the country, and then let him be the chief of staff.

Therefore, Su Dingfang was awarded the title of duke, and even held a position in the Western Regions Protectorate established by Li Erma's former Han Dynasty that was likely to follow the example of the former Han Dynasty, there is nothing impossible, Su Dingfang's family letter has been delivered, Suning looked at it, and it also explained that Su Dingfang was jointly requested by the monarchs of the Western Regions to lead the army to stay, and Su Dingfang appeared at the right time in this battle, two battles and two victories, and broke the 20,000 allied forces of Tubo and Tuguhun, and completely annihilated them, so he suddenly became the savior in the hearts of the Western Regions.

At this time, the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, in fact, is very likely to succeed, the power of the Western Regions countries was greatly weakened, with the Gaochang Kingdom, the Yanqi Kingdom, the Qiuci Kingdom, the Khotanese Kingdom, the Shule Kingdom led by the military strength of the Western Regions countries was severely attacked, completely exposed the decline of the Western Regions countries' armies, although with the passage of time, from the Wei and Jin dynasties after the division of China for three or four hundred years gave the Western Regions countries a good opportunity for development, but they did not seem to seize this opportunity.

Of course, they also have development, from the 36 countries of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty to a few big countries, but even so, their military strength is not strong, otherwise they would not have been suppressed by the Western Turks for so many years, and they would not even be able to defeat the combined forces of Tuyuhun and Tubo, and they are constantly fighting with each other, but the combat effectiveness between each other is at the rookie level.

There is not much normal in the current history, it has been destroyed by Suning, so why can't the Western Regions Protectorate appear earlier? Besides, if the first overseer was Su Dingfang, how good would it be? Anyway, Suning must support it, if the Western Regions countries don't agree, then the Tang Dynasty can provoke the Tubo and the Western Turks to pretend to attack the Western Regions countries, and the Tang Dynasty is powerless to govern, see what they think.

As for Tubo, Suning also knows about this matter, Li Shiji's document is very detailed, and the Tubo general Lu Dongzan personally sent a letter to Li Shiji to negotiate peace with Li Shiji, and is willing to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and the requirements are also very simple, that is, the Tang Dynasty promised to trade with Tubo, and the specific details of the negotiation have not yet been determined, but Tubo has shown sincerity and dedicated the last 30,000 troops of Tuyuhun to the Tang Dynasty, eliminating the last battle of the Tang Dynasty and reducing thousands of casualties in the Tang Dynasty, which is beyond doubt.

But Suning can't help but be vigilant, it can be said that the reason why Tubo was able to break into Chang'an City after the decline of the Tang Dynasty in the Anshi Rebellion, and even once occupied the western territory that the Tang Dynasty had worked so hard to build in the early stage, was that this Lu Dongzan made a fuss, this guy really can't be underestimated, and with one move and kiss, Tubo got China's most advanced production technology and advanced culture for no reason, and like Japan, it is to absorb the nutrition of the Tang Dynasty to strengthen itself.

The biggest failure of Datang's foreign policy is to raise two white-eyed wolves, one of which makes the second half of Datang's life unsafe, and the other makes the Chinese Empire end in shame after a thousand years, and let the nascent Republic of China hover on the verge of extinction, Suning doesn't know what kind of expression and thoughts it will be if Li Ermaxi knows that the two white-eyed wolves he raised will bite back, but Suning knows that whether it is Princess Wencheng entering Tibet or sending Tang envoys, these two famous historical terms will not appear in this time and space.

The Tang Dynasty has abolished the harmony, and the princess of the Tang Dynasty only marries meritorious deeds, not foreigners. Princess Wencheng will not appear in Tibet, and Tubo will not leap for twenty or thirty years for no reason, so that the tail will not fall; As soon as the secrecy decree was promulgated, all international students from all countries were restricted from studying, and could only study Confucian classics, poetry, books and etiquette, and the core technology and craftsmanship were not open to people other than the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Suning's hostility and precautions against these countries surprised Li Erma, but he thought about it carefully. Could it be that they have learned the advanced technology of Datang and then come to deal with Datang? The brain finally turned a corner. In another time and space, the hidden dangers brought by the Tang Dynasty to China have been eliminated.

Li Erma's banquet was still very boring, a group of old shameless people stripped naked and wrestled bare-chested, Li Ermaxi was drunk and sat on the side to gamble. His Excellency Li Yuan was drinking while putting his hands on the beautiful woman. By the way, he threw gold nuggets into Li Erma's gambling board. shows the financial resources of the first tyrant of the Tang Dynasty, but he does not shy away from Suning, the flower and bone of the Tang Dynasty, and the whole banquet is like a chaotic drinking party. Where is the etiquette and demeanor of the supreme ruling group of the Tang Empire?

Of course, Suning believes that tomorrow morning, these old and stinky guys will put on their skins again and do their high-ranking nobles and high-ranking officials again, the mighty might, the majestic majesty, the gentle mildness, the violent rage; Tonight, even if it is indulgence, Suning knows that such indulgence is one less time, and with the old guys leaving this world one by one, there are not many such banquets......

The banquet is naturally happy and boundless, Suning, as the youngest and the guy who has no official title and only a knighthood, was originally sitting very far behind, he was also happy to eat his own, drink his own, and from time to time with those officials and nobles who wanted to make friends with him, he touched the wine glass, Hara said two sentences, some of them were not, very happy, but they didn't want to fly to the front, Suning was pulled to the front by Cheng Biting Jin, who was drunk, and looked at the supreme rulers of the Tang Dynasty who had drunk and looked at themselves one by one like looking at their prey, Suning realized that he had a big deal to do.

In Suning's memory, he seemed to have been taken away by Qin Ziyue, who was also invited by the royal family, and after being opened by the old guy Wei Chigong and poured a stomach full of wine, he lost his self-consciousness, and he didn't know what happened, but he knew that he was thrown aside, and he saw Qin Ziyue's face before he fainted, but after regaining consciousness again, he found himself in a very familiar place......

Isn't this Li Chengqian's bed?

Suning was a little strange, he was obviously drunk and threw away, as if he also saw Qin Ziyue, it is not strange to say that he slept with Li Ruihan in his bed after waking up, but why was he in Li Chengqian's bed? It's not scientific!

"Awake?" Li Chengqian's voice came, Suning turned his head to look, Li Chengqian was sitting at his desk with a book and looking at himself, with a playful smile on his face, Suning touched his head and asked, "Why am I here with you?" I didn't get old at His Majesty's banquet...... Is General Wei Chi drunk? How could it be with you? ”

Li Chengqian smiled: "How do I know? Last night I was a little unwell, so I took medicine and went to bed early, I didn't go to the banquet, but I didn't fall asleep when I heard the noise outside, put on my clothes and went out to see you being carried over, it was Zhao Chen who sent you, saying that it was my father's meaning, let you come to me to sleep for one night, as if I was looking for you today to have something to ask, I didn't let you go home. ”

Suning touched his head depressedly and said: "No wonder, it's really a disaster, I'm good by myself, I was dragged to the front to drink, and I didn't let you drink bowl by bowl, I wanted to drink from one altar to another, so big a jar, it's terrible, even if it's water, I have to burst my stomach!" ”

Li Chengqian put down the book and said: "Don't talk about this yet, I heard that this battle has been won, and the Tang Dynasty wants to negotiate with Tubo and the countries of the Western Regions to establish the Western Regions Protectorate, right?" ”

Suning frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "It seems that there is such a thing, the countries of the Western Regions were cleaned up miserably by Tubo and Tuyuhun, with a loss of nearly 100,000 soldiers, and there was no way to let my eldest brother stay, General Li said that he was taking advantage of this opportunity to re-establish the Western Regions Protectorate, and I was called back by His Majesty before, and I have been in Chang'an for several days, and I am talking about this matter every day." ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Then it's no wonder, these days those vassals in the East Palace are discussing this matter, if you want me to say, you should set up the Western Regions Protectorate to facilitate the control of the Western Regions, right?" What the former Han can do, I can do it like Datang, this is called blue out of blue and better than blue! ”

Li Chengqian's very sassy appearance made Suning a little funny, shook his head, Suning said: "The biggest significance of setting up the Western Regions Protectorate is not to control the Western Regions, it's just that the countries of the Western Regions are really not in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, give my eldest brother 10,000 iron horsemen to be invincible in the Western Regions, plus 30,000 infantry troops, 40,000 troops are enough to crush the resistance of the Western Regions countries, and the biggest significance of setting up the Western Regions Protectorate is to deal with Tubo!" Otherwise, His Majesty would have ordered the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate. ”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and asked, "Tubo? Such a large Western Regions Protectorate is just to deal with Tibet? (To be continued......)
