It was late at night, but the emperor and Concubine Chen did not go to bed. The main reason was that Concubine Chen was lethargic due to pregnancy and often got enough rest during the day. However, she could not sleep at night. Li Zhiyun was in Zhilan Hall not for pleasure, but for company.
Concubine Chen.
This queen in history was as virtuous and virtuous as described in history. Talking to her could relieve a lot of worries.
"Are you comfortable?" Li Zhiyun gently rubbed her forearm.
Changsun leaned on the soft cushion, looked at the saint, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty personally serves your concubine, so it is naturally comfortable."
Li Zhiyun smiled and massaged her gently.
Seeing the emperor's appearance, Changsun couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I have never understood. How can I be so virtuous and capable that I can be so loved and respected by Your Majesty?"
"You want to know?"
"think."
Li Zhiyun stopped what he was doing and looked at her beautiful cheeks.
"What if I said that in my last life, I recognized you?"
Changsun's pretty face turned red and she said angrily: "Your Majesty is teasing my concubine again."
"I didn't." Li Zhiyun said: "I'm telling the truth. You don't want to mention the past, and I don't want to mention it either. But if you ask today, I will definitely tell you. In fact, you just joined my Li family.
At that time, I had something in my mind. But later, due to the etiquette and law, I stopped thinking about it. Later...well, I didn't want to see you regretting the past, so I forced it on you regardless of ethics and morality.
At that time, when I decided to do this, I was prepared to be reviled through the ages, but I do not regret it and I have never regretted it."
His eyes were very firm, and his scorching gaze made her heart heat up, and she lowered her head and refused to look at him.
After a pause, Li Zhiyun changed the topic, "I met the Queen today. Did she give you any trouble?"
Changsun shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, you are too worried. The Queen is a generous person, how can you embarrass me? I can enter the harem and serve Your Majesty, thanks to the Queen. Your Majesty will not ask such questions in front of my concubines in the future.
talk."
At the end of the story, she seemed to be having a little temper and was as coquettish as she was.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore." Li Zhiyun smiled even happier.
Chang Sun continued: "Your Majesty, the Queen is truly the most generous person I have ever seen. Without the Queen's approval, how could I live in this palace? The Queen and Your Majesty have been married for more than ten years and should not be in contact with each other.
suspect."
Li Zhiyun nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Then, Li Zhiyun added: "Changsun Wuji has done quite well in Michuan. I plan to transfer him to Liaodong Road to govern the local people. I hope he will not let me down for my hard work."
It doesn't matter whether he failed or not, Changsun Wuji cannot be trusted.
When these words fell into Changsun's ears, she was naturally very happy and said hurriedly: "I would like to thank your majesty for your love."
"You and I don't have to talk about this." Li Zhiyun took her into his arms.
A few days later, Changsun Wuji's whereabouts were decided, and court officials went to Michuan to tell Changsun Wuji the news.
"Liaodong Road, Xinchengzhou?"
In the room, Changsun Wuji looked at the place names on the document, and several question marks popped up in his head.
Where is Liaodong Road?
Where is Xinchengzhou?
After he inquired with the officials who came to deliver the news, he learned that the area of Goguryeo had been conquered by the imperial court, and the imperial court had established a state there. This new city state was the newly established state.
"Huh." Changsun Wuji breathed out softly and put the documents away, his whole body still in shock.
Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla were all destroyed.
It's really, really unbelievable.
Du Ruhui did not make things too difficult for Changsun Wuji. Xincheng Prefecture is a relatively easy-to-govern place on Liaodong Road. It is better here, but it is compared to Liaodong Daozhou County in the mountains and old forests.
In any case, Changsun Wuji felt that leaving Hezhou was a good start. What's more, he had already received the news that his sister had been canonized as Concubine Chen by the emperor. This made him fascinated.
He was really relieved, he was afraid that his sister wouldn't be able to enter the palace.
When the Liaodong people revolted, the imperial court issued an order to stop the killing.
After Xu Shiji received the order, he immediately dispatched troops, massacred and massacred countless people. No one knows exactly how many people were killed. They only know that many rivers in Liaodong Road turned red and turbid within a few months, and the corpses were burned for more than three months.
Turn off.
When Changsun Wuji took office, he realized how complicated the situation in Liaodong Road was. First, he had to help the court recruit local Fan people, and secondly, he had to relocate local women and children. These two items alone were the root cause of the destruction of Fan people's families in his territory.
However, he had to do this. Secondly, he had to cooperate with the army to bloody suppress the people.
Finally, he had to appease the local people.
Changsun Wuji felt that he might as well stay in Michuan and wait to die.
Soon after, under Xu Shiji's persecution, the Fan people finally surrendered and never made a comeback. However, it would take some time to completely make the Fan people in Liaodong Road accept the exploitation and oppression of the imperial court as numbly as the grassland people.
.
Xu Shiji also received the imperial edict at this time and returned to Beijing to receive the reward.
Xu Shiji's contribution is needless to say. Li Zhiyun promoted him to the rank of minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, with the rank of general, and added the title of Zhuguo, and rewarded him with gold, silver and jade articles.
After the reward was awarded, Li Zhiyun asked him: "Who do you think Maogong can send to take an overview of the Liaodong Road?"
Xu Shiji thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been absent from Chang'an for a long time and do not know the affairs of the court and who is the virtuous person. Besides, this matter is your Majesty's alone."
"Okay, I understand." Li Zhiyun said.
After Xu Shiji retired, Li Zhiyun got up and walked around the Ganlu Hall.
There is no doubt that a capable minister will be sent to govern the Liaodong Road, but who is suitable?
He was thinking about it and suddenly thought of someone.
Liu Rengui!
This person did a very good job in Lingzhou, and he kept everything organized and managed in an orderly manner.
More importantly, Li Zhiyun's target was the Japanese country. This time, Liu Rengui could be used to adapt to the environment in advance, so as to prepare for the imperial court to send troops to the Japanese country in the future.
"Here comes someone."
"Here." Gao Liangzhong bowed and waited.
Li Zhiyun said: "Draw an edict."
"yes."
Liu Rengui has been serving as governor in Lingzhou for several years now. His experience and age are gradually enough, and Li Zhiyun feels that it is time to let him go and train him.
Soon after, Liu Rengui, the governor of Lingzhou, was ordered to return to Beijing and report his duties to the emperor.
Things in Lingzhou are no longer what they used to be. In recent years, as the grassland population has declined faster and faster, the grassland people in Lingzhou have gradually disappeared, and the rest have turned into naturalized Han people who cultivate the land.
In fact, most of these Han people came from the grassland nobles. As the court's hawks, they crazily squeezed people of their own race, and finally gained the appreciation of the court and became the new people of the Tang Dynasty.
This group of people is very small, not many. They are currently concentrated in a few areas that can be cultivated, cultivating acres of land to make a living. And because the grassland people around Lingzhou are gradually extinct, the imperial court did not continue to forcibly exploit that area, but began to immigrate.
, gradually took control and allowed the people of the Tang Dynasty to truly occupy that area.
At the same time, the naturalized prairie people were also disrupted and placed in various places. In short, they were not allowed to gather together.
Those grassland aristocrats who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in the past have now become grassland people with a Chinese patch. They gave themselves Han surnames, set up family businesses in Chang'an, and used the money from selling their clansmen to turn around and become loyal dogs of the Tang Dynasty.
There were not many of them, because the imperial court had no intention of letting the grassland people go from the beginning, and did not even want to erect an archway.
