"As early as the Zhenguan era more than 80 years ago, His Majesty Taizong had already established the Anxi Protectorate Palace. My legendary Emperor's aunt was also my support for the guardian city established by the Tang Dynasty in the Yinshan Mountains of the grassland."

"Whether it is the Anxi Protectorate, or the guarded city at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, it is extremely far away from the Tang Dynasty Chang'an. Even birds in the sky will fly for three days and three nights."

"Zhang Jiuling, tell me, your dear ministers who have always opposed the vassal states, and if you are the emperors of the Tang Dynasty, how should you control the distant city?"

"Do you civil officials who know whether you know how to form factions?"

"I'm afraid I'll shirk any of you if I want to send you over."

"No one of you wants to go to that faraway place, because in the eyes of you literati, it is a bitter and cold place. If you go, you will suffer, and if you go, you will be exiled..."

"You like to visit the scenery of Baqiao, you enjoy the singing and dancing of Chang'an. When you are bored, you will send a memorial of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the court. But if you want to do practical things, you will shrink faster than anyone else."

"It is precisely because of this situation that I have to reuse the Hu generals."

"I set them up as vassal states and let them stay on the border of the Tang Dynasty. There is no way to do this, because there must be someone guarding the border."

"Maybe in your eyes, you only see these vassal states holding their own troops. But in my eyes, what I see is that the vassal states fight several battles with foreign countries every year."

When the emperor said this, his tone paused slightly, but then he spoke again, and his voice rumbling: "Those battles are not big. Sometimes it is just border friction, and there are only a few hundred soldiers participating in the war..."

"But even a few hundred people were fighting with swords and guns. The soldiers under the vassal states sacrificed many of them every year for our Tang Dynasty."

"Do you know this? You know!"

"But who have you ever expressed your merits to me for them? Never!"

"You are just constantly criticizing the vassal states, and you are constantly discouraging me from using warriors..."

"Then I want to ask today, who do I value military personnel?"

"Is it you? Zhang Jiuling?"

"Or or you, Li Linfu?"

"You civil officials are good at speaking the word "official". But if you ask you to guard the country on the border, you will be afraid that you will immediately make excuses."

When the emperor said this, he seemed even more furious. He suddenly roared and said, "For example, An Lushan, who has been criticized by you, Zhang Jiuling, always said that he was ambitious and intended to rebel, but you never said in front of me that An Lushan would lead his soldiers to fight seven or eight battles with the grassland every year..."

"There are also the Hexi Jiedushi. There are more than 30 small countries in the Western Regions where he guards. Do you really think those small countries respect the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of your heart? Do you really think that the tributes he paid for so many years are because they admire the Tang Dynasty?"

"No, it's because my governor is beating them."

"They have to respect them and they have to pay tribute to them... It is precisely because of these military governors that I can listen to your ministers' noise in the court. If they hadn't been guarding the border, I'm afraid you would have been hiding in a smoke."

"I know the achievements of the governors more than any of you. As for the self-respecting you criticize, as for the arrogant and domineering you said... don't I know? What can I do if I know?"

"If I don't use them, I will immediately face the invasion of foreign countries. The result of using them is that it is only possible that a certain vassal state will cause chaos..."

"My dear friends, if you are the emperor, then what should you do to make this choice? You should tell me a better way to teach me."

No one can cast the emperor!

Because what the emperor said was true.

Historical books only record the rebellion of the vassal states, but never record the achievements of the rebellion of the vassal states. The reason is very simple. The civil servants who master the historical books.

But for the emperor, the emperor is actually the one who can see the most clearly.

If there is no need for vassal states and no one can defend the border, then foreign countries will invade immediately. The entire Tang Dynasty welcomes the battle of destruction between countries.

But if you value the vassal states, it will indeed lead to a big tail that will not fall. However, although the vassal states will not fall, not all vassal states will rebel...

In other words, there is still a chance to calm down.

This is like a person who is about to starve to death. He cuts his flesh for himself to eat, temporarily fills his stomach and eventually bleeds to death.

But in the slow process of dying from bleeding, this person may be rescued, save his life, and continue to live.

What if you don’t cut your flesh and eat it for yourself?

He just starved to death!

...

Today's court hall, uu reading books www.uukanshu.com became the emperor's one-man show.

No one expected that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, who had been in a state of depression for many years, would suddenly explode.

Not only did the filth of the court officials on the spot, but they also directly tore up many unspoken rules. This scene made many officials feel cold and they had a vague premonition...

Sure enough, the next moment!

Suddenly the emperor rumbled and said in a resolute tone: "Now there is Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling, who is old and is not ashamed of the court to discuss politics. I have given him the position of governor of Jingzhou with a kind heart. I will immediately draft the decree and take effect immediately..."

Wow!

The whole court was in an uproar!

Sent!

This is a delivery!

A prime minister, an old prime minister who had been with His Majesty for many years, was exiled to such an exile and demoted to Jingzhou to suffer.

That's more than that.

I heard the emperor's voice sound again and said more resolutely: "Since you criticize me for using military personnel, I always say that I am old and stupid. OK, I will be even more stupid today..."

"Guo Ziyi, come forward and listen to the seal!"

"Now there is Guo Ziyi, the general of Langya. He has great martial arts and loyalty. He guards the five prefectures on the South Road of Shandong. He worked diligently for a year to recruit refugees and manage the land with a peaceful and peaceful place. With the order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I gave him the position of the governor of Ziqing. He was assigned to the east of the mountain of land and the north to the Fanyang vassal state. From today on, Guo Ziyi was the governor."

The whole court was so big that it was suddenly a needle that could be heard.

Ziqing Jiedushi!

There was another Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty!

The emperor was so crazy that he actually set up another Jiedushi.
Chapter completed!
