Zhengdan Dynasty, all countries come to the court.
Then the gate of heaven, the envoys of the four feudal states lined up to pass, and went to the palace to congratulate.
Li Chao sat at the foot of the Golden Palace, feeling countless eyes fall on him.
On the first day of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the emperor decreed that Li Chao should be appointed as the Taishi.
Also on this day, Li Chao officially resigned from the titles of Shangshuling and Tongpingzhang, and Li Chao resigned from the post of prime minister and officially withdrew from the center.
But his status in the court is still very high, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, Shangzhu Guo, Taishi, and Yue Wang.
This is already a very human minister.
Above the Golden Palace, the emperor specially put his position above the hundred officials.
The ministers of the imperial court are all under Li Chao.
Under the emperor's imperial ranks, the crown prince on the right and Li Chao on the left, Li Chao's position is only one order lower than the prince.
After the edict agreeing to Li Chao's resignation was read, it was followed by the title of Taishi.
The officials had different thoughts, and there was envy, jealousy, and indifference in their eyes.
One of those eyes was Qingluan's, and she arrived in Hanjing just before the New Year.
Last year, she was very busy, Tubo Zan Prang Rizan was poisoned, the old and new nobles in Tubo were divided into infighting, and the war began.
Under the leadership of Prince Sun Bo and the little queen Qingluan, and with the secret support of the Tang Dynasty, the Subi nobles united together to fight with the old Tibetan nobles in full swing.
Because Subi used to be a queen, Qingluan had the support of the Tang Dynasty and was soon supported by the Subi tribes.
On the other hand, because Qingluan has won the support of the Subi ministries, Datang attaches great importance to Qingluan.
At the Zhengdan Dynasty, Qingluan personally submitted a request to be attached to the country, and he was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Li Shimin was very satisfied, in front of so many foreign envoys from the feudal states, this greatly increased the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin generously canonized Qingluan as the Duke of Tang Qiangtang County and Queen Subi.
And specially gave Qingluan the surname of the country, accepted as the emperor's adopted daughter, and gave the title of Princess Wencheng In fact, in addition to the eight kings of the newly crowned heroes and the eight kings of the clan, there are also several kings in the Tang Dynasty, but they are all naturalized feudal leaders, such as Khitan, Xi, Turkic, Tuyuhun and other khans and chieftains, although these people are also crowned kings, but in fact there is still a difference between them and the kings of the imperial court.
Most of these people are called vassal kings, and Qingluan can also become a vassal king who guards one side, which is not easy.
The Western Turkic Mohelu Khan, who had just seized his nephew's territory in the Western Regions with the Tang Dynasty, was also crowned king, and he was crowned the king of Broken Leaf County by the emperor, and at the same time was given the title of Duke of Jinshan County.
The chiefs of Xi and Khitan who were crowned kings, this time, they also won the title of a county duke.
It sounds strange that a man has two titles, a prince and a king.
But according to Datang's explanation, there are reasons for it.
The king of the county, which means that their tribe has become a part of the Tang Dynasty, a piece of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they rule this territory and become the king.
On the other hand, they were knighted in the court and were courtiers of the court.
Several vassal kings always felt that they couldn't understand, but the court told them that one more title would be more and more glory, so they all happily accepted it.
In fact, Li Chao believes that these people are not stupid, they must understand that the imperial court is completely incorporating them into the Tang Dynasty in disguise, and they will be part of the Tang Dynasty in the future, not just a loose alliance, they have really become vassals and subordinates.
It's just that they also know that even if they understand, who would dare to oppose today's Datang Mo Helu originally wanted to enter Beijing to accept Li Shimin's canonization and crown him as the Western Turkic Khan, or even the entire Turkic Khan.
But the result was not the case at all, and Datang announced the promotion of Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
At the same time, four towns such as Shule were set up in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, garrisoned the city, and immigrated to Tuntian.
In fact, it is to completely annex the territory of the Tianshan Mountains.
The emperor only gave him the place north of the Tianshan Mountains and west of the Green Mountains, but did not give him the title of Turkic Khan.
What was given to him was the title of King of Broken Leaf County and Duke of Jinshan County.
The Eastern Turkic steppe is also like this, the Tang Dynasty directly occupied Monan, garrisoned the city, and immigrated to the border.
Then Mobei gave Xue Yantuo, Xue Yantuo was luckier than Mohe, and the Tang Dynasty recognized Xue Yantuo Khanate, and also named Yi Nan as Khan.
And Mo Helu was much unlucky, his country was gone, and he was just a courtier of the Tang Dynasty from then on.
The emperor announced the establishment of the Beiting Metropolitan Governorship in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, the former Western Turkic homeland, which was managed by the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Office.
Mo Helu became the first protector of the Northern Court, and the emperor at the same time divided the land of the North Court into eight routes, and granted the leaders of several tribes of the former Western Turks to divide the system.
The Turkic Khanate perished.
The Eastern Turks perished, and so did the Western Turks.
Mo Helu is no longer a khan, he has become the protector of the Tang Dynasty's Beiting Mansion, the King of Broken Leaves, and the Duke of Jinshan.
It was difficult to accept, but in the end, Mo Helu still accepted it, because he knew that if he didn't accept it, he would not be able to leave the Central Plains and return to the Western Regions.

Even if he goes back, the Western Regions today are no longer the Western Regions of the past, and there are a few people in the Western Turkic tribes who are really willing to follow him to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for them to resist the Tang Dynasty.
Turkic civil strife, in the end, it was the Tang Dynasty who had the last laugh.
The Eastern and Western Turks were briefly unified, and eventually completely collapsed, and the southern Monan in the east and the southern Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions were directly annexed by the Tang Dynasty.
The Zhengdan Dynasty ended smoothly and successfully, and the four years of Zhenguan officially began.
Li Chao was about to go to see Qingluan, but Wang Chengen came over to deliver a decree that the emperor wanted to see him.
The Imperial Study.
Li Shimin had just changed out of the dress he was wearing, and he changed into a simple robe.
"Sit."
Li Shimin greeted Li Chao.
"To be honest, I really don't want you to resign, but you are resolute, and I know I can't stop you."
Li Chao smiled, "I'm just lazy, I get up early every day and am busy with public cases, I really feel tired." ” Li Shimin sat down in front of Li Chao, and he looked at Li Chao very seriously.
"The princes and princesses have all been cured of pox, all of them have had pox, and they are all getting better.
Thinking that they would never get smallpox again in the future made me feel relieved.
Including me and the queen, they have already taken the pox. ” "Actually, it was just a fortuitous discovery."
Li Chaodao.
"But this simple discovery was not discovered for thousands of years, until you discovered it and saved countless people in it.
Wenyuan, I have always said that meritorious service will be rewarded.
But I always feel ashamed of you, and your achievements are far more than these rewards I have given you.
I owe you a lot. ” "Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun'en."
Li Chao said with a smile.
"No, I do owe you something, and now I intend to make it up to you.
The Yue Kingdom fief I gave you before was in the southwest of Jiaozhou, where Jiaozhou and Lu Zhenla bordered, and even most of the fiefdoms are still occupied by Lu Zhenla. ” "Wen Yuan, I plan to compensate you, I will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, these 3,000 soldiers and horses are your Yue National Guard, you can fight these 3,000 guards and go to seize your fiefdom in person.
After regaining the fiefdom, these 3,000 soldiers stayed in the Yue Kingdom, and their families could also move there, and they would be the first batch of Yue people in the future. ” Li Chao was surprised, he didn't expect that Li Shimin would actually say such a thing, his previous analysis of the emperor, the emperor would neither let him stay in the center of the service, nor let him leave the capital, at least in recent years.
But now, the emperor not only allowed him to leave the capital, but also sent him 3,000 troops to let him go to conquer the fiefdom of Yueguo "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know what to say."
Li Shimin laughed, "Then don't say anything, just say thank you."
Fight down, it's your fiefdom, and it's also my territory."
