Chapter 733 The Alliance of White Horses
Chapter 733 White Horse Alliance
Li Dandao's murder is worthy of his own heart.
It’s just that the heart of Tao does not hinder, but too much killing will hinder one’s own “mood state”.
I'm afraid it will take a long time to resolve the anger.
I can only look at and comprehend the Dharma.
After all, I am not happy that others can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, but when it is my turn, I can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately, so there will be no psychological barriers.
Looking at Qi a little, there was no more blood in Jingyang. It seemed that this city was saved.
Sighing.
I'm so exhausted.
Li Dandao held the pure whisk in his hand and cast a "Taixuan Pure Talisman" on himself. He recited the Pure Sutra a few times to calm down his mood.
Then he heard the request of Jie Li Khan over there to send an envoy to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty to visit and study.
Li Shimin agreed directly.
Changsun Wuji rushed back and only brought more than 10,000 troops, but it did give Li Shimin a lot of confidence.
It is also feasible to arrange a plan for doubting soldiers.
In addition, they sent envoys to inquire about the news, and Li Shimin could also bribe the envoys.
Wasn’t Chang He from Xuanwu Sect bribed?
Li Shimin knew who to buy.
Queen Xiao.
The outside of the border was bitter and cold, and the group of Turks did not understand the charm. Empress Xiao was used to living a good life in the palace, so she would definitely not be used to living outside the border.
He promised to be king of Yang Zhengdao and treat the royal family of the previous dynasty well...
Empress Xiao, the Bodhisattva, can still live her good life.
Xiao Yu can also be used as a bargaining chip.
Even Li Shimin could marry Xiao and take a concubine named Xiao...
Didn’t Li Yuan just accept Yang Guang’s concubine? Li Shimin himself also accepted the prince and Yuan Ji’s concubines.
To accept these concubines is to receive the support of the aristocratic families behind them.
One of the more important reasons why Li Shimin bribed Empress Xiao was to let her fight with Princess Yicheng.
If the alliance was reached this time, Li Tang would have a chance to breathe, and natural disasters could always be cured slowly.
Empress Xiao and Princess Yicheng can also divide the forces of the Turks.
At that time, we will raise troops to pacify the Turks, kill Yi Cheng, and take back Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao to show the orthodox Li Tang, which will be useful for stabilizing the country's destiny and inheriting the remnants of the former Sui Dynasty.
Sure enough, on the second day, Jie Li Khan sent an envoy to Chang'an.
They wanted to visit Li Shimin's army and siege equipment, but Li Shimin asked someone to take them to take a bath, change into Hanfu, and went to Toad Toad to enjoy the fun two days ago.
I also sent beautiful silk fabrics, luxurious spices, fragrant tea, and mellow wine.
The messengers in the head were still very calm, but the deputy messengers had already enjoyed it.
...
After a three-day trip, he returned to the Turkic account with gold, gems, silk, and words instilled in them by the Ministry of Rites.
Even when he arrived in the account, looking at the Turks who were still wearing fur, the messenger suddenly had a thought in his mind: rustic buns, rural bullies.
"If I could be reborn in the East Land in the next life, what a blessing would it be."
Seeing their appearance, Princess Yicheng blew the Tang army into a heavenly soldier and general, and turned the palace into a palace in the sky.
Many rumors that were unfavorable to the morale of the army were quickly spread in the army.
"Let's talk about peace!" Princess Yicheng spoke, looked at her husband who was almost forty years younger than her, and cursed in her heart: "A stupid pig with short-sighted knowledge."
If there were no such pig teammates, Chang'an City would be broken, and it would be just around the corner.
Then Li Shimin and Jie Li Khan formed an alliance at the Bianqiao, killed the white horse and swore thousands of taels of gold, silver, and thousands of pieces of silk, various porcelain, tea, and fine wine... If Jie Li Khan hadn't been afraid of Princess Yicheng... he would have to bring a royal family girl back to marry him.
One of the most criticized people in the Tang Dynasty was the policy of marriage.
However, it is indeed of great political significance and has made a basis for the future "since ancient times".
Jieli Turks retreated their troops, and Tuli could not fight to the death. They demanded that the border salt and tea trade be established, and that the transactions of salt and grain cannot be blocked.
Li Shimin naturally agreed, they wanted trades of food, salt, tea, and silk, and the Tang Dynasty also wanted horses and animals.
Just opening up a deliberation site can easily lead to corruption and turn against the border generals.
But Turkic nobles are more likely to be corrupt. They are regimes on horseback and live by water and grass. Trading can allow nobles to live in border cities, and only slaves need to be grazed.
The Turks withdrew their troops.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.
The Turks calmed down, but they reduced some of the pressure slightly.
Shandong has had a severe drought, Henan has a severe drought, and the locust plague in Taiyuan has begun to show signs.
Fortunately, the local aristocratic families already know the policy of donating money and grain to buy officials.
In addition to the Turkic retreat, Li Tang did not seem to be short-lived, so some people have already started to be the ones who eat crabs.
The Ministry of Works used work instead of relief to rebuild the city walls destroyed by war, and this time it was to build thick and high.
Officials were sent to build water conservancy projects. In the event of a severe drought, everyone was united.
The taxes in the disaster area were exempted, and now the Li Tang court is completely poor.
In the military, military farms are being carried out and wasteland is being opened.
At the same time, Li Dandao proposed that people are in the world, but people are killed and lost. It is better to move some of the people in the severely affected areas of the arid areas to the south. Now that the earth's atmosphere is moved south, there are many disasters in the north, and at least they cannot starve to death in the south.
Li Shimin thought it was feasible, and he could also transfer the families in the drought-affected areas in the north to the south.
This is a conspiracy.
Of course, those aristocratic families cannot starve to death, but there are too many children from all over the country. They are about to starve to death. They can keep their own land without moving, and they can also move some of them to the south.
This strategy is effective in combination with donating money, grain and buying officials.
Whether it is Shandong or Henan, a large number of families and branches migrate southward.
Some of the irrelevant migrated to Hunan, Guangxi, and Lingnan. They fought with local natives, and they thought they would accelerate their Chineseization.
Some people who are related and do not want to migrate to Tainan have settled in AH, Jiangxi, and other slightly richer places.
In the original severe drought, there are some areas that are not that drought, or near rivers, which can also support some people.
After such a large number of political orders, they finally ended up with the hearts of the people.
When Sun Zhenren arrived in Chang'an, Li Dandao was finally remembered by Li Shimin as he had the merit of setting up a formation and wanted to be rewarded.
Li Shimin was actually a little afraid of Li Dandao. Whether it was Buddha or Tao, he always had to balance it.
However, Buddhism is really not up to the Tao, and has not yet successfully contacted him steadily.
Or if you can contact me, you will be killed by Taoism.
Moreover, many ministers believe in Buddhism, and the emperor believes in Taoism, so checks and balances can be formed, so Li Shimin can only temporarily get close to Taoism.
Sun Zhenren gave lectures all the way and was received by aristocratic families from all over the country. He was well-known by the government and was known as a "meditator sage". Now entering Beijing is a good opportunity to add "virtue" to Li Shimin.
As a disciple of Sun Zhenren, he was an official in the court and a meritorious minister, and those rewards could not be deducted.
