17. Wu Yi is half son

At this time, Wang Shao, deputy envoy of the Northwest Yingtian, wrote a letter from Fengxiang, saying that Jingyuan connected the water transportation to the Uighurs through Lingwu City, and the water post along the road was complete, and ships from the two places frequently traveled, not only for trade, but also for political purposes.

Anxi Beiting Xuanwei envoy, Ju Wenzhen, had already boarded the boat and took the Uighurs without hesitation to detour towards the four towns of Anxi.

At the same time, the Uighurs also sent envoys to Beijing from the water route.

The purpose is to make a good alliance with the Tang family, and of course there are conditions, that is, I hope the Tang family will follow the previous example and promise to marry each other.

Due to the former hatred between Uighurs and Emperor Li Shijian, the emperor had not made up his mind to agree. In addition, the Uighurs' demands this time were very high: we don't want the daughter of a prince of a Li family, but this time we want the princess who is legitimate to the emperor's biological son.

Faced with the request of the Uighurs, Zichendian also discussed fiercely day and night. The emperor insisted on not following it, saying that as the emperor, the eldest princess Lingxu had already entered the Tao and became a female crown, and Princess Yiyang had been married. Princess Deyang and Princess Yun'an (Deyang was thirteen years old, Yun'an was only two years old) were still young, so it was difficult for her to marry the Uighurs.

But the Uighur envoy refused to give in and made two choices to the emperor:

1. Begging Deyang or Yun'an into the desert, the Uighurs devoted themselves to establish an alliance with the Tang family, offering 5,000 war horses to the Tang family free of charge every year, and breaking up diplomatic relations with Xifan forever, sending troops to support the Anxi Beiting Army Town, where the Tang family was still struggling to resist;

2. If the Emperor of the Tang family did not allow marriage, the Uighurs immediately surrendered to Xifan, first destroyed Anxibeiting, and then joined forces to attack the Tang family.

At this time, the ruling prime minister Li Mi tangled the emperor and kept making trouble, saying that there were three benefits of marriage with the Uighurs: one is to attract the Uighurs' horses, greatly expand the military preparations of our Tang in the northwest, and the army will surely be trapped in the strong; the second is that once the Uighurs establish an alliance with our Tang, it will cause a chain reaction, Yunnan will also loosen and turn to our Tang and isolate Xifan; the third is that the Uighurs can directly reinforce the military towns of Anxi and Beiting, and with the help of Jingyuan and Lingwu waterways, our Tang can also continuously send small-scale troops and materials to the Uighurs road to replenish blood for Anxi and Beiting.

"Your Majesty, as long as Anxi and Beiting can hold on for a few more years in this situation, our Tang Dynasty will be able to counterattack Helong in the northwest. For this reason, we must join forces with Yunnan and Uighurs to form a three-sided encirclement against Xifan. Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the soldiers are free of blood, they can gain stability on the north and south borders. I am old and I am willing to assist Your Majesty in the last few years to revive the country and revive the country. In the end, facing the arrogant and stubborn emperor, Li Mi did not care about indirect attacks, and took off his crown and tassel, and kept kowtowing and bleeding.

The emperor hurriedly helped Li Mi up and sighed and said, "I know my sincerity, so let me think about it again."

After nightfall, the emperor received a memorial from Gao Yue.

"Gao Gaoshen" (Gao Yue's current position is a political affairs officer) advised the emperor that Emperor Gaozu of Han had a siege of Baideng, and Emperor Taizong of our dynasty had an alliance with the Wei River, but this was just a temporary stopgap. Now, whether it is the Uighurs or Yunnan, they are increasingly dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Western Bond, and they should indeed fight for them to come to Tang. When I was the master of Jixianyuan, I witnessed the Uighurs killing people in the downtown Beijing and riding horses to attack the county party. The envoy of my family, Acuo, was the orphan left behind in the bloody incident. So when I talked about the hatred of the Uighurs, why did I reduce my majesty? However, although the Uighurs were arrogant, I have not occupied it yet.

After passing through our Tang territory, the Western Boundary is a major problem today. Please understand the principle of priorities. As long as I repair the water and land passages of the southwest counties, I will be able to provide financial services to Xingyuan, Shandong, Jingnan and Jiannan. Wei Gao, Du Huangshang, Fan Ze, and Cao Wanggao have reached a consensus and are ready to attack the rut prefectures occupied by the Western Boundary this winter to promote peace talks between Yunnan and Tang. Your Majesty lives in the north and takes over the Uighur alliance. I first attack the Weizhou, then Qinzhou, and force Xifan to negotiate, and then lead Your Majesty to attack the Dang and Qiang, and then pacify Huaixi. In this way, your Majesty can move far away from Qinhuang...

The saying "Afar afar, Qin Emperor and Han Wu" really touched Li Shi. He is still in the shadow of the defeat in the battles of the vassal states in the past. Now the emperor not only needs victory in foreign wars, but also in the field and internal victory.

Huaixi Town, which was jumping for death, has long been listed on the emperor's blacklist.

This kind of rebellious Fang Zhen cannot leave behind a disaster to my descendants - in the end the emperor thought about it clearly.

So that night, the emperor cried bitterly at the hands of Wei Shaohua and Wei Ju, who died tragically in the hands of the Uighurs, in the Liangyi Hall, saying that for the sake of the country, I can only forget the oath of resentment for you for the sake of the two of you, and compromised my heart and negotiated peace with the Uighurs.

Three days later, the emperor rarely held a grand ceremony in the Xuanzheng Hall. In front of the civil and military officials and the Uighur envoys, he issued an edict to allow Princess Deyang to be betrothed to Wuyi Khan, and the trip was completed three years later.

The Uighur envoy was very happy and said to the Emperor of the Tang family: "When Guo Lao Linggong was alive, my Khan and the Emperor had become brothers, but now they are son-in-law, which is really a happy thing!"

Li Shi said to the Uighur envoy: "There are rules in the Han area, and the son-in-law is half a son. Can you tell me?"

The envoy immediately knelt down and expressed his opinion: "From now on, I, Uighurs, will be half of the Tang family, no, the whole son!"

Li Shi almost got into the palace and called him "Dad".

Then the officials of the Honglu Temple and the Uighur envoy reached a package of agreements:

The Tang Dynasty allowed the Uighur merchants to return to the capital and open water and land trade between Lingwu-Jingyuan and Zhenwu City. However, the Uighur merchants had to pay taxes to the military town to settle goods and use silk and silk cloth (this was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. One could take metal currency, the other could digest the excess silk production in the Jianghuai River and alleviate the money shortage. The third was to use silk as currency, which greatly saved freight compared to copper coins, because silk was lighter than copper coins of the same price);

The Uighurs must offer 5,000 war horses to the Tang family every year, and the Uighurs must reinforce the Tang family army town in Anxi Beiting to avoid the capture of Xifan.

Not long after, the Uighurs' Wuyi Khan was so happy that he heard that the Tang family had agreed to marry, so he sent an envoy to the capital and submitted a letter to the emperor to request that the Uighurs be renamed "Uighurs" from then on.

At this time, Han Yu was following Gao Yue in the official house of Xingyuan Prefecture, Shannan, and was a little impatient, and was still fiercely debating the problem of handling the problem of the Chenggu County Zushi Huang Wenyu.

Han Yu's opinion was that Huang Wenyu could be killed by a stick, but the disposal of his five sons was too cruel and completely illegal.

Gao Yue was not slow and looked at the various herbs planted by his wife with a smile, and touched the leaves, "Han Silang, you said that Ben Yin was a deep crime to the five sons of the Huang family, but you still don't know that only deep crimes can make people fear the law. Kill dozens of corrupt officials by sticking to the purgatory of the officials, and the people can live and work in peace, which is great. This is the origin of the strong medicine."

"But..." Han Yu was also stubborn and had to debate.

Gao Yue didn't care, and laughed and said to Han Yu that this might be the case. Anyway, the roads in Banan and Langzhong are about to be renovated. Don't tell others, just be the little secret between you and me - you can write an article refuting this Yin in the name of "Christ Han".

"How dare you!" Han Yu said that he was concerned about Gao Yue's reputation.

Gao Yue said it was okay, and those who do political affairs would not be afraid of slander. If you write it out, I will print it out in the nature of a newspaper in Yangzhou and Diaozifang, and post it in the various prefectures and counties of Quanxingyuan. For bureaucrats, officials, soldiers or the people, they will come to see it and judge.
