Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 653 lays down the constitution

   "Your Majesty, what is the situation of the Yuwen tribes in the north now?"

   After leaving Kunde Palace, Li Xin put the child there first, and then set off to Weiyang Palace.

   In the side hall of Weiyang Palace, the two rulers and ministers were eating and discussing matters in the north.

The Emperor lowered his head and took a sip of wine, then said slowly: "Forty years ago, Old Man Ye broke the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop. At that time, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenchong, brought hundreds of thousands of remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as well as hundreds of thousands of Xianbei Yuwen people. The descendants escaped from Jimen Pass."

Having said this, the Emperor paused for a while, and then continued: "At that time, my Great Jin was almost at its peak, and it was really impossible to fight, so Emperor Wu ordered Ye Laoguo to return to the court, and gave Yuwenchong to those people. An opportunity to buffer."

Old man Ye always felt regretful about this matter. When he drove the remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty out of Jimen Pass, he actually had enough energy to pursue them. Emperor Wu, who was blown away, had to choose to give up, so Ye Sheng could only watch Yu Wenchong flee to the north.

"This Yu Wenchong is the royal family of Yuwen, or the uncle of the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He could have reproduced another Beizhou in the north. Fortunately, this Yu Wenchong died of injuries and illnesses more than a year after Ye Lao Guogong retired from the army. ."

   Li Xin actually knew a lot about these Northern Zhou stories, but at this time, he still pretended to be ignorant and listened to the not-so-young emperor.

   "After Yuwen Chong died, his four sons competed for the position of leader, and then each led a part of the clan to scattered in the north, and evolved into the later Yuwen tribes."

The emperor said solemnly: "For decades, there have been occasional infighting among Yuwen's ministries, but because they are afraid of my great Jin Northern expedition, they have always maintained restraint and maintained their combat effectiveness to the greatest extent, and the four Yuwen ministries have also been very stable. has remained to this day.”

"Now that 40 years have passed, the leaders of Yuwen's tribes are no longer Yuwenchong's four sons, but most of them are his sons or even grandsons. They joined forces to drive away the Qiang and Di tribes in the north. Wait, although he has withdrawn from the Central Plains, he is still the biggest overlord on the northern grasslands."

Speaking of this, the Emperor Taikang said slowly: "The Yuwen royal family, who once enjoyed a fortune in the north, is probably no longer able to hold a knife or ride a horse after the collapse of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the descendants of this branch of Yuwenchong are all They are brave people, even some of the brave Xianbei people who entered the pass, although these people have not dared to enter Jimen Pass on a large scale for decades, they have become a hidden danger in the north."

Emperor Taikang turned his head to look at Li Xin, and laughed at himself: "Five years ago, I never had the idea of ​​expedition to the north. It was only after you mentioned it in Chang'an that I gradually began to think about the north. They take it to heart and think that they are just some defeated soldiers, and they are not brave enough, but the more I know about them in the past few years, the more terrifying they feel."

  The emperor said solemnly: "The abilities of Yuwen's troops will never be weaker than the Pingnan Army in the southwest, or even better."

  Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled: "Your Majesty, forty years have passed, what kind of quality they are now, you always have to try it before you know, and what you hear is not the truth."

The Marquis of Jing'an said slowly: "Your Majesty can let the Zhenbei Army or the Yunzhou Army send someone to the north to try it out. Anyway, in the past ten years, there have been occasional people in the northern border who have come to provoke, and it is only natural that we should fight back appropriately. ."

Forty years ago, the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were shattered by old man Ye, so that in recent decades, they have not dared to counterattack Dajin, but there was no war, and small-scale battles have never stopped. The most typical is the year. Li Xin went to the north on business and was forced to participate in the battle of Xiaochenji.

In the battle of   Xiaochenji, Li Xin and four hundred feathers Lin Wei cooperated with Xiaochen's beacon, killing more than 400 enemies and taking more than 100 prisoners.

   A battle of a few hundred people is actually not that small.

  The emperor nodded and said solemnly: "Tomorrow, I will issue an order to the leaders of the Yuwen clans to send them to my borders and warn them that if they don't repent, they will send troops to teach them."

   After the division of Yuwen, they were no longer able to compare with Dajin. Therefore, after the hatred of the year dissipated, the people of Yuwen's four divisions gritted their teeth and became ministers to Dajin.

   This is a matter of Chengde Dynasty.

   It is precisely because of this incident that the emperor of Chengde has been greatly added to the credit list, which is part of the reason why the emperor of Chengde is called the holy emperor.

   Therefore, according to this aspect, the people of Yuwen’s tribes are ministers, and the emperor of Dajin is the king. Of course, the emperor of Dajin can decree them, but this kind of imperial decree is basically meaningless, and almost no one will take it seriously.

  The leaders of the Fourth Division of Yuwen, it would be good if they didn't use the imperial decree to wipe their buttocks.

   Li Xin thought for a while, then spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the fortune of the country. Your Majesty can decide the direction, but you cannot rely on one or two people to figure out the details. I suggest that Your Majesty convene the prime ministers of the three provinces to discuss the details together, so that the things that come out of this scrutiny will not be discussed. Something could go wrong."

Don't look at Li Xin's rise in the Taikang Dynasty, but in fact, since the Chengde Dynasty, the status of the Great Jin generals has been declining. A large part of this is because the emperors of the past dynasties have treated the generals. fear.

  Generals are generally not involved in politics.

The big and small matters of the court were handled by the emperor and the officials of the three provinces and six ministries, or they were negotiated and dealt with. During this process, the generals could not intervene, and out of the special existence of Li Shen and Old Man Ye, the status of other generals Always embarrassed.

   After arriving in the Taikang Dynasty, the first thing to do today is to cut down all the generals of the generals, so that the generals will be more inconspicuous.

   Take Li Xin as an example, the most powerful position in his body now is the Minister of War, not the illusory prince Taibao.

   Therefore, things like Beizheng must be discussed with the civil servants. Otherwise, even if this matter can be pushed forward by force, if those civil servants interfere with it, nothing can be done.

   Li Xin himself, respected these Saisukes very much.

The emperor frowned, and then said: "I have to tell them, otherwise nothing can be done smoothly, but before that, you and I have set a similar direction, so that when we are wrangling with them , and have something to say.”

  The Marquis of Jing An was silent for a while, and finally looked up at the Emperor.

   "Your Majesty, if you are going to attack Canzhou tentatively this time, do you want to use the Yunzhou Army or the Zhenbei Army?"
