☆322. Chapter 322 Gao Kan's Promotion



Chapter 322 Gao Kan is promoted

"Gao Kan, please come forward and listen to the title!" Li Chengqian said.

Gao Kan hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, I, Gao Kan, beg your Majesty to confer a title on me."

"Appoint Gao Kan, the Lieutenant General of the Right Guard, as the General of the Right Guard, and give him 100 taels of gold and 300 pieces of cloth." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty, I, Gao Kan, thank you for the title. Long live the emperor!" Gao Kan was filled with joy after hearing Li Chengqian's title.

He worked so hard to lead the troops to the battle, wasn't it just to make achievements, then get promoted and make money, and protect his descendants.

"This time, all those who went to the northern desert to pacify the Turks will be rewarded, whether they are the soldiers fighting on the front line or the laborers transporting food and grass, all will be rewarded." Li Chengqian said.

After rewarding Gao Kan, it was natural to reward the three armies. In the past, the rewards were given to the soldiers fighting hard on the front line. Now Li Chengqian not only rewards the soldiers of the three armies, but also the laborers can get some rewards.

"Your Majesty! Before I came back, I arranged all the troops of the Turkic Chebi Khan to Yu Dujun Mountain. I wonder how Your Majesty plans to deal with these Turks." Gao Kan stood up and asked.

After all, before he returned to Chang'an, he promised these Turks that the court would properly settle them and treat them well.

These Turks also promised to become subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and asked Gao Kan to explain to the emperor that prefectures and counties would be set up in their place.

After all, if you promise to someone, you must do it. Gao Kan is not a villain who does not keep his word.

Originally, setting up tributary prefectures in the Turkic army was the business of the court, not something that he, a general of the right guard, should talk about.

But since Gao Kan had promised the Turks, he would try his best to fight for it.

"You are the main general who will fight against the Turks. How should you deal with these surrendered Turks? What do you think the court should do?" Li Chengqian asked.

Gao Kan was stunned! They thought that the emperor would actually ask him this question.

"Your Majesty! According to the Tang Dynasty's previous treatment of the Yi tribes, a tributary prefecture should be established in each tribe's location, and its chieftain should serve as the governor and governor." Gao Kan said.

The tributary system is the best way to solve the problems of ethnic minorities, which is conducive to the court's management of ethnic minorities.

"Gao Qing actually gathered the Turks of Chebi Khan's army in Yu Dujun Mountain, and established the Langshan Governor's Office in Yu Dujun Mountain, and the Turkic leader served as the governor of the Langshan Governor's Office."

"Not only that, I will also establish the Shanyu Protectorate in Yunzhou to manage the south of the desert, commanding the three governorates of Langshan, Yunzhong, and Sanggan, as well as 14 states such as Sunong." Li Chengqian said.

This time, by setting up a governor's office in Yunzhou, Li Chengqian intended to strengthen the governor's management of these ethnic minority gathering places, and it could no longer be as loose as before.

We should strengthen the management of ethnic minorities and exercise strict control over these areas, just like the chieftain system of the Ming Dynasty.

There must be strict regulations on policies such as inheritance, tribute, and conscription, so as to strengthen control over these areas.

The Shanyu Protectorate set up in Yunzhou is a test site. If it works, it will be promoted step by step and implemented in all Yi tribes.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Gao Kan bowed.

"You are tired too, go back and rest first! You have been away from home for such a long time, and it's just right to go back and reunite with your family. I believe they miss you all the time." Li Chengqian smiled. "

I'll take my leave!" Gao Kan bowed and left, and went directly home after leaving the hall.

...

On the 27th, Li Chengqian, who had been busy with government affairs, did not forget to combine work and rest to improve work efficiency, and took the opportunity to take some time out to relax.

So, he went out of the city to hunt and have fun on this day.

Entertainment in ancient times was limited. Apart from elegant things such as reciting poems and painting, there were no other entertainment facilities, and there was no Internet and computer in ancient times. Going out to hunt and have fun was the best way to relax.

Li Chengqian rode to the outside of the city and was looking for prey in the forest. The sky, which was originally clear, suddenly became cloudy.

It started to rain immediately. Judging from the rain, it would be too late to return to Chang'an City. Li Chengqian and others had to find another place to shelter from the rain.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. From drizzle to heavy rain, it only took more than ten minutes.

Fortunately, they were lucky and prepared oil clothes (raincoats), so they were not soaked.

But even if they put on the oil coat, the rain would still seep in. When they found a place to shelter from the rain, the clothes inside were still wet.

Li Chengqian and others found a dilapidated temple and could only take shelter from the rain temporarily.

The temple was overgrown with weeds. There was a statue in the main hall. No one had taken care of it for a long time, which made the statue lose its former glory.

They lit a bonfire in the temple to keep warm and dry clothes.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, Li Chengqian asked the counselor, Changle native Gunalü, "How can the oil coat used to shelter from the rain not leak?"

Gunalü blurted out: "Your Majesty only needs to use tiles to make the oil coat, so you don't have to worry about it leaking."

Li Chengqian laughed after hearing this, and he understood what Gunalü meant.

This is to advise Li Chengqian not to hunt too much, but to focus all his attention on military and national affairs.

It is best not to touch such distracting entertainment activities as hunting.

Confucianism believes that the most ideal emperor should be diligent and work hard for national affairs, rather than hunting.

Therefore, Gu Nalu believes that as an emperor, Li Chengqian should stay in the palace and handle state affairs properly. Going out to hunt is not what a wise ruler should do.

"I understand what you mean! I really shouldn't go out today." Li Chengqian said. If he had known it would rain today, he would not have gone out.

Li Chengqian did not agree with Gu Nalu's words. He was not a hard-working person. Only by combining work and rest can he live and work in a better state.

Working hard will reduce efficiency and make people die of exhaustion at work, which is not what Li Chengqian wants.

When it is time to relax, he will go out to stretch his muscles and relax his mind.

After hearing this, Gu Nalu thought that Li Chengqian finally changed his mind after listening to him and realized his mistakes!

Gu Nalu felt quite relieved.

The rain came quickly and went away quickly. After half an hour, it gradually stopped. Fifteen minutes later, the sky was clear.

The sun came out from the clouds, and the sun shone on the land.

"Let's go! Let's go back to the palace!" Li Chengqian stood up and said, limping out of the temple.

Everyone rode their horses to escort Li Chengqian back to the palace.
