Chapter 280: Appeasing the Uighurs
After asking about the progress of the expedition to Goguryeo as usual, Li Er got up and rushed to the alchemy site to wait for the success of the elixir.
This has become his daily routine. Recently, he is looking forward to refining the elixir more and more. His body is about to run out of energy!
"My dear! The Yanran Protectorate has sent a memorial." Wang Quan handed a memorial to Li Chengqian.
Since Li Er was obsessed with refining elixirs, Li Chengqian has had a lot of inconveniences except for the increase in workload.
Memorials like this from the Protectorate are usually reviewed by Li Chengqian, and Li Er decides what to do.
After Li Chengqian took it, he opened it and browsed it, and was immediately shocked!
"Your Highness! What did the Yanran Protectorate report? Why are you so surprised?" Chu Suiliang, who had been promoted to the position of Zhongshu Ling, asked. "
Huaihua General and Hanhai Governor Yaoluoge Tumidu was killed by his nephew Wuhe, and Wuhe wanted to lead the Uighurs to join the Western Turkic Khan Chebi and betray the Tang Dynasty."
"Fortunately, Wuhe's conspiracy was discovered in time by the Deputy Protector of Yanran Protectorate Yuan Lichen, who lured Wuhe to death, so that no big disaster occurred." "The
current Uighur political situation is in chaos. The Yanran Protectorate reported to ask, how should this matter be handled?" Li Chengqian said.
Now the Tang Dynasty has put all its energy, manpower and material resources on the preparations for the expedition to Goguryeo, and has no time to pay attention to the situation in Mobei.
What's more, Ashina She'er is still fighting against the Guizi Kingdom and the intervention of the Western Turks. Although there is Ashina Helu, the leader, it is unrealistic to solve the problem in a short time.
In other words, there is not much energy to be put on the Mobei area, and Mobei is the northwest barrier of the Tang Dynasty, and there must be no chaos. Therefore
, the internal turmoil of the Uighur tribe must be resolved, and it must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise once the Uighur tribe betrays the Tang Dynasty, it will undoubtedly make things worse for the current Tang Dynasty.
Chu Suiliang was stunned! He didn't expect such a thing to happen, but this is an internal matter of the Uighur tribe and has nothing to do with the court.
"How does the Minister of the Central Secretariat think the Uighur issue should be handled?" Li Chengqian asked. Chu Suiliang
came back to his senses and said, "This is a serious matter. I dare not speculate. Your Majesty needs
to make a decision." "In this case, I will trouble the Minister of the Central Secretariat to go there in person and report this matter to Your Majesty. Please make a decision." Li Chengqian said.
Li Chengqian picked up the brush on the table, wrote his suggestions on the memorial and drew a sun character, then handed the memorial to Chu Suiliang and sent Chu Suiliang to find Li Er .
"Yes!" Chu Suiliang took the memorial and left. After meeting Li Er in the alchemy room, Chu Suiliang told Li Er about the chaos in the Uighurs.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you!" Chu Suiliang saluted Li Er.
"Suiliang! Why are you here? Is there something big going on?" Li Er, who was sitting cross-legged and resting with his eyes closed, heard Chu Suiliang's voice and asked.
"Your Majesty! I just received a memorial from the Yanran Protectorate. The Uighurs are in turmoil. The governor of Hanhai and the general of Huaihua, Tumidu, was killed by his nephew Wuhe." "
In order to control the situation, the deputy governor of the Yanran Protectorate, Yuan Lichen, lured and killed Wuhe. Who knew that the situation was not only not under control, but even more chaotic."
"The crown prince ordered me to come to ask your majesty how to deal with the turmoil in the Uighurs?" Chu Suiliang said.
Whether to appease or send troops to suppress, it depends on what Li Er plans.
Li Er opened his eyes and frowned. Now Li Er is worried that the turmoil in the Uighurs will lead to the Uighurs' betrayal of the Tang Dynasty.
The Uighur tribe is now very powerful in the northern desert and is the leader among the Tiele tribes. If the Uighurs betray the Tang Dynasty, all the efforts made by the Tang Dynasty in the northern desert will be in vain.
This is not the result Li Er wants to see, so Li Er decided to appease the Uighur tribe without hesitation.
"What do you think about the internal turmoil of the Uighurs?" Li Er asked.
"Your Majesty! Your Highness will write your opinions on the memorial, please read it." Chu Suiliang said, and handed the memorial in his hand to Li Er.
Li Er took the memorial and flipped through it. He saw Li Chengqian's suggestion on it, which only had five words.
"Appease it, Cui Guoli"
It seems that the prince and he have the same idea, and they both intend to appease the Uighurs to prevent the Uighurs from betraying the Tang Dynasty because of the internal turmoil.
Even the candidate for the Uighurs to appease them had already been selected for Li Er.
Li Er thought about it and felt that Cui Guoli was the best candidate to go to the Uighurs to appease them on behalf of the court.
"It is better to appease the Uighurs. The Crown Prince and I have the same idea on this matter!"
"Send the imperial edict to appoint Cui Guoli as the deputy general of Jinshan Road, to appease the Uighurs, and let him appease and quell the Uighurs as soon as possible." Li Er said.
"Yes!" Chu Suiliang took the order and left. He drafted the imperial edict that day. After all the officials of the three provinces signed it, Li Er confirmed that it was correct and wrote the word "imperial edict" on it, and the edict officially took effect.
Cui Guoli went to the Uighurs on behalf of the court to appease the Uighurs.
Cui Guoli first went to the Yanran Protectorate and met with the Deputy Protector Yuan Lichen. Now the entire Yanran Protectorate was presided over by Yuan Lichen.
In order to ensure the safety of the envoy, Yuan Lichen sent a group of elite soldiers from the Protectorate to escort Cui Guoli to the Uighurs.
Cui Guoli did not disappoint the emperor. Soon after arriving in the Uighurs, Cui Guoli found Tumidu's son Po'er.
In the name of the Tang envoy, Cui Guoli, with the elite soldiers brought from the Yanran Protectorate and the Uighurs loyal to the Yaoluoge family, supported Po'er as the new leader of the Uighurs. On
behalf of the court, Cui Guoli appointed Po'er as the General of the Left Guard, the Great Silifa, and the Governor of the Hanhai, and let Po'er lead the Uighurs.
As soon as Po-Yeon succeeded to the throne, he did not disappoint and quickly resolved the chaos within the Uighur tribe. Cui Guoli then returned to Chang'an to report.
At this time, Li Er became more and more obsessed with refining elixirs, which enabled Li Chengqian to further grasp power. At the same time, most of the palace guards became the prince's men.
Li An-Yeon was directly promoted from a general of the left guard to the general of the left guard, commanding the palace guards and the palace security.
In December of the 22nd year of Jeonggwan, Silla Prime Minister Kim Chun-Choo came to Chang'an to pay tribute.
Kim Chun-Choo was the nephew of Queen Seondeok. At that time, the Silla Shenggu nobles were weak, and Kim Chun-Choo succeeded as the 29th king of Silla with his true bones.
The Da Ci'en Temple built by Crown Prince Li Chengqian for his biological mother, Empress Wende Changsun, was finally completed. It was located on the third street east of Zhuque Street in the outer city of Xijing at that time, in the fifteenth block, also known as Jinchang Block, with Huangqu to the south of the temple.
He ordained 300 monks and invited 50 eminent monks to live in Da Ci'en Temple. A translation institute was built in Da Ci'en Temple, and Master Xuanzang was invited to move in to translate and serve as the abbot.
On the day Xuanzang moved in, Li Er brought the crown prince, empress and others to the Anfu Gate Tower to personally hold the incense burner and send him off. There were tens of thousands of people who came to watch the ceremony.
