The essence of the Fubing system is to hide troops among the people. It was a reform based on the military garrison system of the Han Dynasty. It gave a new interpretation to the idea that all people should be soldiers. It was more institutionalized and saved a lot of people's and material resources.
, which is superior to the previous dynasty.
Li Po set up Zhechong Mansion, which added a link to further regularize the soldiers and make them easier to recruit and command.
In essence, it still fell within the scope of the former Sui military system, but without the cooperation of the Okura system, local military groups were more restricted.
The death of the former Sui Dynasty was very sudden and abnormal, so many institutional advantages were not fully utilized.
By the early Tang Dynasty, most systems were actually inherited from the former Sui Dynasty, and Li Po and his ministers did not make many major reforms.
From another perspective, the military and political structure of the early Tang Dynasty and its achievements were a continuation of the previous Sui Dynasty. Without Yang Guang and another emperor, it would not be difficult to achieve a prosperous age.
…………
Back in April.
Changsun Shunde, who was guarding the imperial mausoleum, received Du Yan's confession. On the night of April 18th, he wrote a final letter to the emperor to apologize, admitting all the culpability and praying that the emperor would only blame himself and not the family.
Then he drank a glass of poisonous wine and committed suicide in the Imperial Tomb Office.
After Changsun Shunde died, his "suicide note" was sent back to Chang'an.
After Li Po watched it in the Tai Chi Hall, he didn't have much emotion. He just sneered secretly. These people were born with power and wealth that ordinary people could not enjoy in their lifetime, but they didn't know how to cherish it.
Not to mention repaying the blessings given by the people of the country, but also wanting more, grabbing big and small profits all at once, and I don't know if I can bear it.
His actions were so despicable and his appearance so abominable that even those few words he said made people feel like they were staining their lips and tongue. It was probably that even when he was about to die, he just felt that his affairs were not kept secret, which was why he ended up like this.
All I remember is my own family history, which well explains the selfishness, short-sightedness and insatiable greed of the nobles of the day.
…………
Li Po was too lazy to guess the thoughts of a dead man, and then ordered Luo Shixin to lead a raid on the house of his uncle and nephew, Chang Sun, and indeed found some soldiers and armors.
It's not a big deal in normal times. Among the nobles, who doesn't have some retainers, generals or something like that?
However, the laws of the Tang Dynasty do stipulate that those who secretly hide a certain number of soldiers and armors will be charged with treason. Considering the rank of uncle and nephew of the eldest son Shunde, copying hundreds of soldiers and armors is a serious crime of treason, which is the crime of plundering the family and exterminating the clan, so they were added a felony
.
Then there is nothing more to say. All the men will be executed, and the women will be put into the monastery. Even exile will be avoided.
With the evidence of the crime being conclusive, no one in the court dared to speak for them. In addition, Du Yan, Zhang Wen and others all confessed and ransacked their homes. Another big scandal in the early Tang Dynasty was coming to an end.
Dozens of people were implicated in this case, and they were convicted one by one according to Tang law. Those who deserved to be killed were killed, those who deserved to be demoted were demoted, and those who deserved to be exiled were exiled.
In the end, the so-called Henan aristocratic party disappeared into thin air. This was a political group that really suffered a severe blow after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Po used this to solve some problems left over from the late Sui Dynasty. Most of Changsun Shunde and Du Yan's party came from the old people of the Luoyang court during the Daye period, and were one of the old political forces.
Due to various reasons, most of them fled to Kansai to avoid the war in the late Sui Dynasty. Many of them had inextricable connections with the Kansai clans, and with the help of the Kansai clan, they established themselves in Chang'an.
Heel, and form a party to protect yourself.
It's just that the leader was not very smart and wanted to act like he did in Luoyang, so that's what happened today. This time Li Po borrowed their blood and warned others.
Among them, especially the nobles of Kansai and the heroes of Jin, they were warned to take this as a lesson, not to form cliques and cause trouble, and to pay attention to their identities in their dealings, and not to lose their sense of proportion.
Li Po felt that everyone was smart. After this incident, at least for five, six, seven or eight years, they would no longer have to worry about such things.
Of course, noble officials can never stop helping each other. Who doesn’t have relatives and friends? Even if you are an immortal, there is a saying that a person can ascend to heaven with a chicken or a dog, let alone a human being.
Even he himself is unavoidable. He needs relatives to stabilize his throne, and he can't ask too much from others.
Moreover, as Li Yuan gets older, he will build his own power based on the people around him, thereby further gaining the right to speak in the court.
Therefore, he only hoped that his ministers could understand his "good intentions" and know what should be done and what should not be involved.
…………
In the Qingning Palace and the Queen's chamber, Li Po opened his eyes in confusion and was still very sleepy, but Li Po still got up with strength and patted his wife's ass to make this lazy woman
Get up quickly and wash up with yourself.
Li Bi woke up from her sleep and kicked her husband, who was out of tune, unwillingly. Then she reluctantly got up to dress and wash herself.
The couple chatted with each other over breakfast. Although they were an old couple, they still had no shortage of things to talk about. This was obviously a good sign, indicating that their relationship had not subsided.
After breakfast, Li Po left the Qingning Palace surrounded by palace people. He went to the Wude Palace to exercise first, and when he got there, he washed up and then went to the Tai Chi Palace to work.
It was just that the eunuch on duty at Taiji Hall today came over and presented a letter from Silla and a scroll.
Queen Jindeman of Silla gave birth to a son for him at the beginning of this year, and he had already reported to Chang'an. Li Po discussed it with Wen Yanbo and Xiao Yu, and finally entered the son who was born outside into the genealogy.
This time, Kinderman's letter first mentioned that Li Nian, the great protector of Korea, was about to lead his army north to Liaodong, and that many matters in the rear would be handed over to Silla.
Kinderman expressed her loyalty by the way and reassured her "father" that she would do her best to cooperate with Protector Li in his expedition to Liaodong.
Beyond that, the Tang Dynasty "opened the sea". Silla wanted to buy some ships in the Tang Dynasty so as to communicate with the Tang Dynasty. The most important thing was to send the Goguryeo people captured one after another to the Tang Dynasty for work.
The Tang Dynasty gave Silla a series of preferential policies, and Kinderman gave birth to another son. It can be said that he was full of energy and excited.
He also sent Li Po a painting, which was a masterpiece by a Silla court painter.
Li Po asked someone to open it and take a look. Kinderman was sitting there upright with a small baby in his arms. Li Po couldn't help but smile. He felt that he had his own blood even though he was thousands of miles away.
After looking at it for a while, he sent it to the Guanwen Hall for collection, thinking that he didn’t know how long it would survive. If future generations are lucky enough to see it, the artistic value is secondary, and the historical value is immeasurable, haha...
