Li Chengqian stabbed the prisoner of war Fuyun Khan to death in front of everyone, which frightened the other prisoners in the prison car next to him.
Especially Fu Yun's son Murong Shun, who was so frightened that he lost control of his urine at first, and then became so angry that he kept beating the prison car, angrily scolding Datang, and asked Datang to give him a good time.
Fu Yun's queen had no emotion on her face, but looked at the frantic Li Chengqian with some surprise, as if she had found a chance to survive.
The other concubines and princesses were all frightened and cried. This damn Tang people were more barbaric than the savages on the grassland. His Khan was stabbed to death by several knives just after saying a few words.
The civil and military ministers and important generals in the prison car were all silent. Although they said they were captured alive and escorted to Chang'an, in general, their hope of survival was still quite high.
But now that they saw the prince of the Tang Dynasty stabbing someone whenever they disagreed, they began to feel fear in their hearts, fearing that their lives might not be saved.
"Your Highness, stop quickly, don't be impulsive..."
Wang Gui and Liu Zhenghui rushed towards Li Chengqian, and the soldiers beside them quickly snatched the dagger from Li Chengqian's hand.
Sima Qiu also rushed towards Li Chengqian. This prince really broke his heart. He didn't have any city government at all!
Even though Fu Yun deserves to die, His Majesty didn't even interrogate him personally, so you just gave it to others. Isn't this contempt for the imperial power?
This time, the prince is going to shed another layer of his skin, and what's deplorable is that the entire prince's residence may suffer as well.
But Li Chengqian snorted contemptuously, as if nothing happened, and ordered: "Wang Shangshu, Liu Shangshu, you two will hand over this matter immediately. I am a little tired, so I will go back to the East Palace first."
The two ministers were shocked when they looked at His Highness the Crown Prince who was not panicking at all. What kind of awesome thing did the Crown Prince eat? Why is he so calm today?
"yes……"
Watching Li Chengqian leave, the two looked at each other and immediately asked their subordinates to hand over to Zhai Changsun's people. Then they took Zhai Changsun and quickly entered the palace to meet the saint.
At this moment, Li Shimin was still planning with several important ministers. Now Tuyuhun has been completely included in the map of the Tang Dynasty. However, the entire Tuyuhun is located on the plateau, and most of the people are herdsmen. Like Mobei, they live in pursuit of water and grass.
For Datang, management is very troublesome.
Since the fall of the Eastern Turks, the area actually controlled by the Tang Dynasty in the entire Mobei Plateau was very limited. That is, the line to the north of the Yinshan Mountains was where the Eastern Turkic tribes lived.
To the north of the Eastern Turks, the entire prairie was controlled by Xue Yantuo, while in the northeast were the Khitan tribe, Goguryeo, Shiwei, and Mohe.
The Tang Dynasty's management method still used the Turks to manage themselves, but only limited their development in terms of armaments.
As for the other tribes and countries, although they became tributaries of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin knew that it was only temporary.
"Your Majesty, I think it is best to confer the Tuyuhun kings as usual and let them manage themselves. I, the Tang Dynasty, will send a supervisory censor..."
Changsun Wuji first raised his hand and put forward his own opinion. After all, this is how the East Turks were governed. In the past few years, the border has been peaceful, and the soldiers of the East Turks can still be used by the Tang Dynasty to fight for the Tang Dynasty.
The most important thing is that Datang does not need to provide them with material or monetary support, they can just take care of themselves. After all, the fiscal revenue of places like Tuyuhun in a year is definitely less than the expenditure.
If it were managed according to the prefectures and counties of the Central Plains, Datang would still be under the control.
Li Shimin nodded. The auxiliary machine's idea was quite satisfactory. He had previous experience in governing the East Turks, and now it was applied to the governance of Tuyuhun. It was considered a very mature idea. ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have different opinions. At that time, the Tang Dynasty swept across the grassland, the Western Turks fled to the Western Regions, Xue Yantuo's Tele tribe became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the entire Mobei grassland had no strong enemies. But Tuyuhun is different!"
"Tuyuhun is close to Tubo. Today's Songtsan Gampo is ambitious and developing very rapidly. If we follow the governance method of the East Turks and appoint a king to rule, once the Tubo invades, we, the Tang Dynasty, will have no time to rescue him. In fact, Tuyuhun will defect to Tibet and turn around. Attack the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin suddenly clenched his fists. Yes, this time the Tang Dynasty swept across Tuyuhun, captured their khan alive, and killed countless Tuyuhun people. If these tribal leaders were allowed to go back, they would definitely be resentful.
"Zuopushe, tell me your plan." Li Shimin asked quickly.
Fang Xuanling nodded: "I believe that Tuyuhun should be divided into four states, namely Heyuan, Xihai, Qiemo, and Shanshan. Officials should be sent to take office and garrisons should be sent to garrison."
"Then the states will absorb the grassland herdsmen and strengthen their training. By then, even if Songtsen Gampo intends to invade, the state soldiers on the front line will be able to resist for a while and will not spread the war to the territory of the Tang Dynasty."
"The minister reconsiders."
"The minister reconsiders..."
After listening to Fang Xuanling's plan, all the ministers agreed. Changsun Wuji glanced at Fang Xuanling and then stepped back.
He secretly wondered whether his own method was too rubbish, or whether Fang Xuanling had put in enough effort during this period, and these guys all agreed to Fang Xuanling's plan.
However, does the Tang Dynasty really have the ability to dispatch so many officials and troops at once?
Apart from anything else, military spending is also a big problem.
However, the Minister of Hubu is not here today. If he were here, he would probably have started to spray Fang Xuanling long ago. The Hubu will definitely not be able to get this money and food.
Even though His Majesty cheated a lot of noble families this time and the granary was full, at the same time, the court spent a lot of money.
Just when Li Shimin was about to ask the three provinces to come up with specific plans and then implement them according to today's discussion, Wei Zheng slowly stood up.
"Your Majesty, I object!"
Everyone: "..."
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng said: "In the grassland, herdsmen lived in pursuit of water and grass. I would like to ask Zuopushe how officials in each state should govern. Today the herdsmen from Heyuan have gone to Haixi, and tomorrow the herdsmen from Haixi will be here again." I ran to Qiemo..."
"Your Majesty, the regions are different, the customs are different, and the work performed is different. You must not copy them mechanically."
Li Shimin felt that Wei Zheng was right.
But how should Tuyuhun be governed?
Li Shimin felt a headache, waved his hand and said: "Let's all disperse. After we get down, I will think about it carefully. This matter cannot be rushed."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Shimin cursed in his heart, I am a wise man, the governance of Tuyuhun is indeed a difficult problem.
The grasslands are not like the Central Plains. Most of them are herdsmen and have no fixed residence.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Minister of Household Affairs, the Minister of Rites, and General Zhai Changsun are asking for an audience with Your Highness, saying that they have something important to report."
The little eunuch trotted all the way and quickly told Li Shimin the news about the three adults' request to see Li Shimin. The main reason was that the three adults pressed too hard, and even his eyes were red.
"Xuan..."
Li Shimin frowned and asked the Ministry of Rites and Hukou to receive the prisoners and gold and silver. It was done so quickly. I heard there were hundreds of cars?
The ministers also looked outside the hall, wondering how much gold and silver King Shu had captured this time, and they also wanted to know.
