Chapter 652 Poodle
"Garo and Ren, which two countries?"
In the provincial government affairs hall under the door, Changsun Wuji frowned, "Isn't there only Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje on the Korean peninsula? How come there are Jialuo and Imna? Why does the Wa kingdom also occupy territory on the peninsula?"
Prime Ministers, in fact, not only Changsun Wuji is like this, but the other prime ministers are also a little confused about the so-called two countries of Ren Nagaro, and these two countries?
"Actually, Ren Na has been dead for decades, and was annexed by Silla long ago. It's just that the Wa Kingdom is a little unwilling to give up, and has repeatedly sent troops across the sea, so now it still maintains five cities on the peninsula, struggling to support it. As for Jia Luo , Qishi in the Southern Dynasty separated from Ren Na, but under the attack of Baekje and Wa, the alliance had already broken down. Now it is claimed that the six countries are self-reliant, but in fact, only six small separatist forces are still supporting them, and basically I am a vassal of Baekje."
Fang Xuanling asked, "Is there Jia Luo among the countries in this pilgrimage?"
"have."
The Gaya Alliance was first united by at least 20 small city-states, but it was gradually annexed by Silla Baekje. Later, the separation of Gara caused Ren Na's strength to be greatly damaged. The country perished during the attack and was annexed by Silla.
Garo, which became independent, was mainly composed of the six-nation alliance, but under the attacks of Baekje and Wa, the alliance is now broken. But this time the six countries still sent envoys to congratulate them, and Da Gaya also played the banner of the Garo country.
"It's just a small island barbarian, why does Saburo care so much?" Your servant shot Gao Shilian a little strangely. The Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting has just passed, but the affairs of the Zhengshitang are still very busy. It is the imperial examination.
How can there be so much energy to pay attention to the kindness and resentment between these little fans?
Now the main energy of the imperial court is concentrated in the Western Regions. With the voluntary submission of Shi Wannian, the owner of Yiwu City, it can be said that the Western Regions were shaken. After Gu She was defeated by Xue Yantuo and Huihe in Mobei, he left for the Western Regions and stayed in the Gaochang and Yiwu areas. He heard that Tuli was granted the title of King of Beiping in Chang'an, and the treatment was good. With every step of the way, the civil strife in the West Turks made Yugushe nowhere to stand.
In this case, after Qin Lang destroyed Tuyuhun, the Datang Zhengshitang began to ask Tuli to send people to letter brothers to recruit.
At this time, under the influence of Yiwu's attachment, Yugushe had also intended to join Datang, and sent an envoy to ask for attachment. Although Yugushe fled to the Western Regions, he still had many troops under his command. Return 80,000 Han Chinese who were captured by the Turks.
The Zhengshitang attaches great importance to the attachment of Yugushe. After all, although he was driven from Mobei to the Western Regions by the Tie Le people, he is a Hunjianglong that can be used by Datang to influence the Western Regions. Also brought a lot of people.
"Let's discuss how to set up a reward for the Valley of Desire!"
The staff of the military room of the Zhengshitang came in and delivered an official document.
"My lords, I just received a report from Shi Liji, the governor of Bingzhou, that Ashinash Bobi died of illness in Bingzhou."
Several prime ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. They were talking about the Tuli brothers just now. Why did the news of the illness and death come from Tuli?
After Li Jing defeated the Eastern Turks and Su Dingfang captured Jieli and entered Beijing, Tuli immediately submitted to the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin summoned Tuli to Beijing. After Tuli was called to Beijing, Li Shimin was very satisfied with his performance and immediately named him a The king of Beiping County, he was named a general.
Last year, there was a civil strife in the Tuli tribe, which was once a vassal of the Turks, and Li Shimin specially appointed Tuli as the governor of Shunzhou, and asked him to go to Xuanzhao to mediate. Years ago, Tuli, who had successfully mediated, was about to return to Beijing, but got sick halfway and was stranded in Taiyuan, Bingzhou.
Unexpectedly, news of death suddenly came out now.
"Tuli is not very old, is he?" Ma Zhou asked.
Tuli used to be sworn brothers with Li Shimin, and he was younger than Li Shimin. In fact, he was only 29 years old this year. It was really surprising that he died suddenly of illness.
"Let's talk about Tuli's afterlife first. Who will inherit his title?"
The prime ministers were a little dull. Yugushe had heard that his brother Tuli was treated well in Chang'an, so he accepted his brother's call and was willing to join him. But now Tuli died suddenly. Will that affect Yugushe's surrender?
Even this person thinks that Tuli's sudden death, is there any inside story?
"I think that according to the county king's specifications, the funeral for Tuli should be held. As for his title, his son He Luohu will inherit it."
Dai Zhou asked, "Ashina Heluo'er was born to Tuli and Sui Huainan Princess, is it suitable? And Heluo'er is only in his teens, why don't you just give the title of Prince of Beiping to Yugushe?"
Qin Lang shook his head.
"I don't think it's right. Although He Luohu is young, he is the eldest son of Tuli after all. As for his widow, Yang Shi, is the princess of the Sui Dynasty, that's fine. If the title is passed on to Yugushe, it will be a bit of a bully to the orphans and widows." Mother’s suspicion, it’s better to be more generous and let He Luohu inherit Tuli’s title of King of Beiping County, and give Yugu another title.”
Eldest Sun Wuji asked, "What kind of title is suitable, Duke?"
"That's right, then make Shanggu County King?" Changsun Wuji asked.
Fang Xuanling added, "Added Wu rank to the general of the town army, and conferred the post of general Zuo Xiaowei. In addition, Chang'an bestowed the first house."
For the imperial court, Yugushe is a great Turkic aristocrat with 100,000 tribes in his hands. Although he is now in exile in the Western Regions and has no place to stay, his strength is still there. Such a landless Eastern Turkic exiled aristocrat needs to be recruited more and more.
Whether it is the general of the Zhenjun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, the king of Shanggu County, etc., they are all false. An empty-headed lord can at most give a salary, a house, and some slaves, which are not costly.
Whether Yugushi is willing to enter the court or not, as long as he is willing to submit to the court, it is worth giving these things, not to mention that he has sent back 80,000 Han people who have been captive over the years, and these alone are worth it.
Although Qin Lang and others also believed that the attachment of Yugushe was different from the attachment of Shi Wannian, the owner of Yiwu City, and that he would not easily abandon his tribe's troops and really enter the court like Tuli did at the beginning, but this power was used well. Yes, it will be of great help to Datang's entry into the Western Regions.
"King Qu Wentai of Gaochang and his wife Yu Wenshi came to Chang'an to congratulate them in person, and presented a dog that can pull a horse and hold a candle, and a jade plate. How should we repay it?"
Gaochang State is a Han regime. It was established during the Northern Wei Dynasty and has been passed down to the present. Surrounded by the city-states at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the nomadic tribes at the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, it has survived for hundreds of years. It has to be said that it is a miracle. Although Gaochang Kingdom has also experienced four surname dynasties, the first three surnames add up to only a few decades, and the Qu family has been passed down in Gaochang for many generations.
It is located in the oasis of the Turpan Basin in later generations. In history, it belonged to the territory of the former king of the Han Cheshi. After the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, a large number of Han troops crossed the desert to guard the border. Gaochangbi was built here and became the bridgehead of the Han Army in the Western Regions.
During the decline of Han Zuo, the Han troops in the Western Regions retreated to the east one after another, and they all gathered here. Because they failed to return to the east, they finally settled and multiplied here.
Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Han people have long been the new masters of Cheshi, and Gaochang County was established in the Qianliang period. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Juqu family of Northern Liang moved westward and established their capital here, known as the Later Northern Liang Dynasty in history. Later, Hou Beiliang died in Rouran, and Gaochang became an independent state. It passed through the Kan family, Zhang family, Ma family, and then to the Qu family. It has been more than 170 years.
While the first three surnames only existed for 41 years, the Qu family had ruled Gaochang for more than 130 years.
The royal families of the four Gaochang dynasties all came from pure Han blood.
The official system also followed the Jin system with a slight modification.
Gaochang Kingdom and the Central Plains can be said to have the same root and origin, the same language and the same species, and they recognize each other.
However, after the Western Turks controlled the Western Regions, Gaochang was also forced to surrender to the Western Turks. The men were forced to change their hair with Turkic braids and left lapels. Only women kept their Han style buns and Chinese clothes.
During the Sui Dynasty, the world was unified, ending hundreds of years of division, and successively defeated the Eastern and Western Turks, forcing the Turks to submit.
Because of this, Boya was named Dr. Zuo Guanglu, Cheshi Taishou, and Bian Guogong by Yang Guang. Yang Guang also named the daughter of his confidant Yu Wenshu as Princess Huarong and married Boya. In this way, King Gaochang became The royal son-in-law of the Sui Dynasty, the relationship is one step closer.
In the eighth year of Daye, after Boya and his wife returned to Gaochang, they ordered the middle school to change the uniform system, restore the traditional clothes of the Han family, with tassels and braids, and skirts cut off.
However, soon there were civil strife in the Sui Dynasty, and it was difficult to look back.
At this time, the leader of Tie Le's Qibi tribe, Qibige, stood alone near Gaochang and began to rebel against the Western Turks. The Qibi tribe quickly controlled Gaochang and Yiwu, and Tuyuhun, who had been exterminated, also took advantage of it. After the defeat of the Liao Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, the country was restored again, Qiemo and Shanshan were all owned by Tuyuhun, and the Sui Dynasty basically had no power to control the Western Regions.
Shekui Khan rose up, defeated Qibi Gele, and unified the Western Regions. Yiwu County was also abolished, and Gaochang once again surrendered to Western Turks.
Qu Boya, who devoted himself to restoring the clothes of the Han family, was also usurped from the throne during the great turmoil in the Western Regions. The usurper was the Qu clan supported by the Western Turks, who reigned for six years after the usurpation.
Until the second year of Wude, with the help of Datang, Boya was restored, but soon died of illness. Boya's eldest son, Wen Tai, succeeded to the throne. According to the modified Turkic adoption marriage system, Yuwen was made queen.
After succeeding to the throne, he went to the Tang Dynasty and asked to send envoys to participate in his father's funeral and burial ceremony to show his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
In the following five years, with the support of Datang, Wentai completely quelled the civil strife and stabilized Gaochang.
At the beginning of Li Shimin's succession to the throne, he also immediately sent envoys to congratulate him.
This year, I even personally brought Queen Yuwen to congratulate, presenting jade plates and poodles.
Yuwen even asked to change his surname to Li and join the Li family.
"Yiwu is attached to Zhengzhou, West Yizhou, can Gaochang be like this?" Dai Zhou asked.
Qin Lang felt that this idea was too taken for granted. Of course Datang wanted to take the opportunity to swallow Gaochang. The problem was that the Qu family had been in the country for more than a hundred years, so how could he be willing. Although Gaochang was a Han Dynasty with the same culture and the same species, after all, it was separated by a vast desert and lived outside for hundreds of years, so it was still somewhat different from the mainland of the Central Plains.
It is unrealistic to think of such a simple merger of Gaochang.
