Conversations like this between Houjunji and Subimala were held everywhere.
It wasn't until a few days later that Ashina Danai gathered nobles from various tribes together and held a meeting similar to the Grassland League.
The preparations had been made before, and the plateau people who were still in a barbaric state did not speak harshly to each other anymore, and even came to have a few hand-to-hand fights to see some blood.
The meeting was held in a friendly atmosphere, with everyone expressing their opinions. It looked very democratic and free. In fact, all exchanges of interests had ended before the meeting began.
As the defeated people, the Yalong people were no longer strong enough to compare with Supi and Xiangxiong. After successive battles, all the young men of Yalong tribes were lost, and no one would listen carefully to what they said.
So it is inevitable that they will suffer losses.
The final decision was that the Black Yak tribe gave up the place where they originally lived and handed it over to the Xiangxiong people, and their tribe would go to live in the Qiongjie Valley area.
The Xiangxiong and Supi people will divide their borders and rule, returning to the way they were before the rise of the Yalong people.
It seems that the Xiangxiong people have benefited the most, but in fact, the Supi people have regained a lot of land through the Tubo civil strife. Without the restraint of the Yalong people, they will soon expand their sphere of influence to the mountains and hills to the east.
zone.
There are many plateau indigenous tribes living there. Even during the years when the Yalong people established Tubo, these tribes only had contact with Tubo. Instead, they had more contact with the Mon people on the other side of the mountains.
When the Supi people free up their hands, they will first expand to the lower reaches of the Nagqu River and Jiqu River. Therefore, it is difficult to say where the future situation of Shannan will be.
Everyone has their own calculations. Even the struggling Black Yak tribes have a chance. Moreover, they now understand better who has the thickest thighs. If they want to avoid the fate of being annexed by Xiangxing and Subi in the future, they have no choice but to do so.
choose.
The leader of the Black Yak Tribe even asked the Tang Army to leave some troops in Qingjie. He was afraid that once the Tang Army left, the Supi people would fall out with them, and those descendants of Asura were the most untrustworthy.
Ashina Danai really thought about it, but after thinking about it, no one would want to stay in such a ghost place, and besides, they were all meritorious people, and he was not willing to treat his subordinates poorly.
Furthermore, there are many Tuyuhun, Qiang, and Turks in the army, and we certainly cannot leave them in Shannan.
The rest was when he raised troops from Liangzhou, he brought out two thousand Tang troops, all of whom were soldiers of Zuo Yiwei Mansion.
Along the way, we lost more than 200 people in non-combat situations, and more than 100 people were lost in several battles.
If some of these more than a thousand people are left in Shannan, how will he explain to Zhang Lun when he returns? The soldiers are not private soldiers of the Wei government, but if you want to ignore the generals of the Wei government, do you still want to lead troops in the future?
In particular, it was General Zhang Lun who ranked only behind Yuchi Gong and Bu Qun among the generals. The two people in front of him were both old men in Yunnei and were very close to the emperor.
Zhang Lun is different. He may not have as many military achievements as those of those people, but he is undoubtedly handsome. Ashina Danai works in Qianniu Preparation Mansion, so he knows this very well.
Therefore, he rejected the Black Yak Ministry's request and planned to report it to the court later and let the court decide the matter.
…………
The conference was a success, and the Tang army was the guarantee, and a tripartite non-aggression agreement was signed in a serious manner.
This is actually mainly because Datang has shown its ability to extend its claws to Shannan. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to sit down and talk honestly, let alone make a clear promise.
At the end of June, the Tang army returned to the north, and there were many more people in the army.
After some persuasion by Hou Junji, Subimuluo personally led a team with the Tang army to Chang'an to meet with His Majesty the Emperor. The main purpose was to request the Tang Dynasty to grant him a title.
Xiang Xiong's Prince Mi Xia was also average, but during his interactions with Chen Li and Wu Tong, he saw that they were decisive in their actions and had extraordinary bearings, especially in etiquette, which was pleasing to the eye.
During the conversation, I heard about various things about the Tang Dynasty, so I began to admire the Tang Dynasty. I thought of traveling around the Tang Dynasty and then returning to Xiangxiong to take over the throne.
This was a promise made to him by his father, Kagen Zenesu, that as long as he could return to Xiangxiong safely, he would pass the throne to him.
The nobles of Xiangxiong also have the habit of traveling around. In the past, most of them went to Tianzhu with caravans to study Buddhism. Now it seems that the Tang Dynasty has become another better choice.
The Black Yak Tribe’s nobles who accompanied them northward were the largest in number.
This is the case for these tribes who are still at the end of the primitive stage. Only when they are injured and shed blood can they recognize the reality. If you speak well, you will not get their respect.
Therefore, the Black Yak Tribe, which is facing the crisis of genocide, is the tribe in Shannan that most desires to be recognized by the Tang Dynasty.
There were many nobles who came with their army, all of whom were the blood of tribal leaders. In addition, they also selected dozens of the most beautiful girls in the tribe, and brought two sacred white yaks, as well as many gems and other things, as gifts.
Make a gift for His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The army can be said to have returned with a full load.
Even though the team was much larger than when they came, and there were groups of cattle and sheep following the team, with the help of the plateau tribes and the soldiers of the army having adapted to the plateau environment, the speed was actually much faster than when they came.
Enough to rush back to Liangzhou before winter comes.
…………
Luoyang in June is at the height of summer.
The emperor traveled to the Eastern Capital and stayed in Luoyang for more than a month. This was a rare opportunity for Luoyang, which had been lonely for a long time. It showed that the Emperor had not forgotten that there was an Eastern Capital.
There were many people accompanying the emperor on his eastward tour, and after hearing the news about the emperor's visit to Luoyang, people of all kinds came from all directions. Luoyang prospered almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Needless to say, Luoyang Academy, which has only been built for just two years and has been suffering from student problems, has recently received dozens of scholars who came to Luoyang Academy to study, and there may be more in the future, because the emperor visited Luoyang Academy in person and
Recite a poem.
"The lights are on at three o'clock and the chicken is on at five o'clock. It's the time for men to study. Black-haired people don't know how to study early, and white-headed people regret that they are late in studying."
It is simple and easy to understand, sincerely and earnestly encouraged to learn. This also shows that the emperor attached great importance to running a school and never changed it. At the same time, it also slightly improved the reputation of Luoyang Academy.
It's a pity that the emperor never commented on the academy boys personally, otherwise the effect would have been better.
Well, the main reason is that Li Po has little ink in his chest, and he is afraid that the details will be revealed when talking to an ignorant young man, which would be too embarrassing.
He was self-aware. Even after he became the emperor, he never competed with others in terms of knowledge. At most, he occasionally copied poems to tell everyone that the emperor was not illiterate, and that was it.
In addition to Luoyang Academy, the place that best reflects the prosperity of a city in the world is the brothel and Chu Palace.
There is no way, men have been this virtuous since ancient times, and they also have food and sex. Here, there is all kinds of food and sex, so naturally it is the most prosperous place among the cities, similar to the pedestrian street later.
For example, when Chu Suiliang returned to Beijing to report on his work, he first went to Caiyufang, eating, drinking and having fun secondly. He wanted to see how much Chang'an had changed over the years and whether it was much better than before.
Many things can be seen there, such as the governance ability of the court, the degree of openness of people's ideas, etc.
Since the emperor arrived in Luoyang, the fireworks place in Luoyang has become lively, but the time is still short and not as prosperous as Caiyufang in Chang'an...
…………
On the Huangdao Bridge, Li Po stopped and stood.
Huangdao Bridge is one of the five bridges built over the Luoshui River on the south side of the Luoyang Imperial Palace. It is just outside the Zetian Gate, the main entrance of the imperial city. Here the Luoshui River split into three branches, and three bridges were built on it.
There are trees on the wetland in the middle, and there are two peony gardens. The Luoshui River flows around it, and the scenery is really good.
Li Xiuning, dressed in military uniform and full of heroic spirit, stood beside Li Po, leaning on his horse.
On the other side, Ashina Rongzhen, who was tall and almost as tall as Li Po, didn't say anything. He only glanced at Li Xiuning through Li Po from time to time. He probably saw her outfit and felt that Li Xiuning seemed to be a different person, which was quite new.
.
…………
"The construction here in Luoyang is very good. There are mountains and waters. It's quite pleasing to the eye. It's just..." Li Po sighed in admiration, then looked back at the palace city behind with disgust. The meaning is self-evident.
Li Xiuning said with a smile: "Back then, Yu Wenkai and others were ordered to build Luoyang. It is said that the style of the palace city was revised several times, and the ground was not broken until Emperor Yang gave the nod. Therefore, the construction of Luoyang Palace City was delayed by four months.
Later, people from the Yuwen clan said that Yu Wenkai was quite complaining, but what exactly he said was unknown to outsiders."
People from the Li family in Longxi still know a lot of secrets.
Li Po patted the railing. According to his habit, the fault was naturally all Yang Guang's. "The beautiful scenery is in front of me. Speaking of Yang Er, that guy is really unlucky..."
After saying that, he glared at Li Xiuning, his childish look making Li Xiuning giggle.
After Li Po arrived in Luoyang, he stayed in the palace honestly for more than a month, meeting everyone he should see. Occasionally, he would take the concubines out of the harem for a walk, without doing anything out of the ordinary, such as visiting Luoyang.
Go to a brothel and try some Henan powder.
Today I also heard that Li Xiuning had returned to Luoyang from Xingyang, so I summoned her to meet her.
Li Xiuning was also a thief. She did not rush to meet the emperor as soon as he heard that he had arrived in Luoyang. Instead, he waited for more than a month before arriving in Luoyang, but he did not expect to see his lover right away.
It was also the first time that she came to Li Po in public. In addition, Li Po did not call her into the palace, but asked her to accompany him on trips. Her carefulness and generosity made Li Xiuning very happy.
But there was Ashina Rongzhen beside her, who would stare at her from time to time, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.
In fact, the two of them were acquaintances. When they were in Chang'an, Li Po slipped out of the palace to meet her, and he was always escorted by Ashina Rongzhen.
It's just that Ashina Rong really doesn't know how to avoid taboos. Even if the emperor and his lover are there...she will stay outside, which makes Li Xiuning feel ashamed and reluctant to talk to him.
