Chapter 320 He Li Bu failed

"If you have something to report, report it. If not, leave the court." The morning court was held at Chengtian Gate, and Wang Quan shouted.

Chengtian Gate is the main gate of Taiji Palace. Among all the city gates, the most important gate is Chengtian Gate in the middle of the south wall.

There is a tall pavilion on Chengtian Gate. There are East and West Court Halls on the left and right of the gate. There is a palace square of about 300 steps in front of the gate. It faces Zhuque Gate and Mingde Gate directly to the south.

The north-south straight street is about 150 meters to 155 meters wide, and its location is also very important.

Chengtian Gate and the East and West Halls were regarded as the outer court by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. They were the places for holding grand ceremonies and consulting the common people. They were also the first choice for the emperor to entertain his ministers.

Except for major events that would be held in the Zhongchao and Taiji Halls, which were the most prestigious among the three palaces in the inner court, most morning courts would be held here.

After the court session, if the emperor had other things to discuss with the ministers, he would usually summon the ministers in the two Yi Halls in the inner court.

"Your Majesty! The Ministry of War has just received a letter from the Anxi Protectorate." said the official of the Ministry of War.

"What did the Anxi Protectorate say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The war report said that since the Guizi King Halib was captured and brought back to Chang'an by the Right Guard General Ashina She'er, the internal turmoil in the Guizi country has continued. The Anxi Protectorate asked for instructions on how to deal with the internal affairs of the Guizi country." An official stood up and reported.

After the King of Guizi, Helibushibi, was captured alive by Ashina She'er and taken back to Chang'an, although Helibushibi's younger brother Yehu was made the new King of Guizi,

many people in Guizi still did not buy this account, so all the powerful people stood up and wanted to compete for the throne of Guizi, and Guizi fell into internal turmoil.

The Anxi Protectorate also sent people to mediate and even used force to intimidate, but still could not stop the internal turmoil of Guizi.

The Anxi Protectorate could not kill them all, so the Anxi Protectorate had to report the matter to the court, hoping that the court could solve this problem.

Li Chengqian frowned. Guizi was the seat of the Anxi Protectorate, and it was also one of the four major military towns in Anxi, which was under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate.

It was the Tang court's way of appeasing the Western Turks, protecting the main land transportation routes between China and the West, and consolidating the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty. Its importance was self-evident.

Guizi was also located at the intersection of China and the West on the Silk Road, guarding the throat of the middle section of the northern section of the Silk Road, connecting the East and the West trade, and carrying the civilizations of the East and the West.

It played an important role in the economic and cultural history of the entire world.

For the Tang Dynasty, the maintenance of the four towns of Anxi could not be lost. Once there was a problem with the four towns of Anxi, it would be equivalent to the Tang Dynasty losing the main land transportation routes between China and the West, which would endanger the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian would never allow such a thing to happen.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty! I think it would be better to let King Helibusi of Guize return to Guize, let him take charge of the government again and comfort Guize." "

Now the only way is to let Helibusi return to Guize. With his many years of ruling in Guize and his prestige in Guize, as long as Helibusi returns to Guize, all problems can be solved." Changsun Wuji stepped out.

This is the benefit of the system of control, using local officials to govern local people, and governing according to special circumstances and customs, which is different from ordinary prefectures and counties, and is equivalent to autonomous regions in later generations.

This is also the best way to deal with the internal turmoil in Guize at the moment.

As long as King Guize returns to Guize and ascends the throne of Guize again, he will be able to rely on the prestige accumulated as a king for so many years to inspire the people of Guize, stop the infighting, and return to peace.

This is a hundred benefits and no harm to the Tang Dynasty! "The commander-in-chief's words make sense.

Do the other ministers have anything to add?" Li Chengqian asked, looking at the civil and military officials of the Manchu court. "Your Majesty! I second the commander-in-chief's words!" Li Ke stood up and expressed his support for Zhangsun Wuji. For now, there is no better way than to let King Guize go back! Therefore, for the tranquility of the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke stood up without hesitation and supported Zhangsun Wuji. He did this not for himself, but for the Tang Dynasty. "I second the proposal!" Li Yu, Chu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong and other well-known officials of the fourth rank and above all stood up to support Changsun Wuji's proposal. "I second the proposal!" All other officials who were qualified to stand in the court stood up and supported Changsun Wuji's proposal. Sending the King of Guizi, Helibushibi, back to Guizi is what everyone wants, and it is also the best way to solve the chaos in Guizi at the moment. "Since you have no objection to what the general said, then let Helibushibi return to Guizi to be the king." "Summon the King of Guizi to see you!" Li Chengqian said. "Invite King Helibushibi to see the emperor!" "Invite King Helibushibi to see the emperor..." The emperor's order was quickly conveyed to King Helibushibi. Helibushibi immediately dressed up and followed the eunuch who came to deliver the message to the outer court of the Tang Dynasty. "Your Highness Helibushibi pays respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! May you live forever!" Helibushibi bowed to Li Chengqian who was sitting on the throne. "No need to bow, but stand up!" Li Chengqian said. "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" King Xie En of Guizi stood up and stood there waiting for Li Chengqian to speak. "Since you entered the capital, the country of Guizi has been in constant turmoil. Although your brother Yehu has become the king of Guizi, he is unable to quell the rebellion." "I now want you to go back and take charge of the overall situation. General Qibi Heli of the Left Guard will escort you. The journey is long, so I hope you can take care of yourself." Li Chengqian said . "I will definitely fulfill my mission!" General Qibi Heli of the Left Guard stood up and saluted. "General, please be careful on your way west." Li Chengqian told Qibi Hebi. "Your Majesty, don't worry! I will do my best to escort King Guizi back to the country safely." Qibi Heli said. "Well! Go down and prepare! The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. Once you are ready, set off immediately." Li Chengqian said. "As ordered! I will take my leave!" Qilihebi and Helibusibi bowed and left. "My dear ministers, do you have anything else to report?" Li Chengqian asked. Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court were silent, he knew that there was nothing else that needed to be discussed in the court. Li Chengqian signaled Wang Quan to announce the adjournment of the court.

Wang Quan immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The court is dismissed!"

"Your Majesty, we respectfully send you off!" The civil and military officials held the jade tablets in both hands and knelt on the ground to respectfully send the emperor off.

Li Chengqian stood up and left the Chengtian Gate of the outer court. After leaving the palace, he returned to the place where he usually reviewed memorials and continued to review them.

The civil and military officials waited until the emperor left before they could stand up and leave. They each returned to their own offices and started their day's work.
