Chastity Layman

"Garo, Ren those two countries?"

In the provincial political hall under the door, Changsun Wuji frowned, "Isn't there only Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje on the Korean peninsula? How come there are two countries, Garo and Imna? Why does the Wa country also occupy territory on the peninsula?"

Prime Ministers, in fact, not only Changsun Wuji is like this, but the other prime ministers are also a little confused about the so-called Renagaluo two countries, and these two countries?

"Actually, Ren Na has been dead for decades, and was annexed by Silla long ago. It's just that the Wa Kingdom is a little unwilling to give up, and has repeatedly sent troops across the sea, so now it still maintains five cities on the peninsula, struggling to support it. As for Jia Luo , Qishi in the Southern Dynasty separated from Ren Na, but under the attack of Baekje and Wa, the alliance had already broken down. Now it is claimed that the six countries are self-reliant, but in fact it is only the six small separatist forces that are still supporting them. I am a vassal of Baekje."

Fang Xuanling asked, "Is there Jia Luo among the kingdoms of this pilgrimage?"

"have."

The Gaya Alliance was first united by at least 20 small city-states, but it was gradually annexed by Silla Baekje. Later, the separation of Gara caused Ren Na's strength to be greatly damaged. The country perished during the attack and was annexed by Silla.

The independent Garo Kingdom is mainly composed of the Six Nations Alliance, but under the attacks of Baekje and Wa Kingdom, the alliance has now also broken down. But this time the six countries still sent envoys to congratulate, and Da Gaya also played the banner of the Garo country.

"It's just a small island barbarian, why does Saburo care so much?" You servant shot Gao Shilian a little strangely. The Zhengdan court meeting has just passed, but the affairs of the Zhengshitang are still very busy, and it will be the Lantern Festival soon. It is the imperial examination.

How can there be so much energy to pay attention to the grievances and resentments between these small fans?

Now the main energy of the imperial court is concentrated in the Western Regions. With the voluntary submission of Shi Wannian, the owner of Yiwu City, it can be said that the Western Regions were shaken. After Gu She was defeated by Xue Yantuo and Huihe in Mobei, he left for the Western Regions and stayed in the Gaochang and Yiwu areas. He heard that Tuli was granted the title of King of Beiping in Chang'an, and the treatment was good. With every step of the way, the civil strife in the West Turks made Yugushe nowhere to stand.

Under such circumstances, after Qin Lang destroyed Tuyuhun, the Datang Zhengshitang began to ask Tuli to send people to letter brothers to recruit.

At this time, under the influence of Yiwu's attachment, Yugushe had also intended to join Datang, and sent an envoy to ask for attachment. Although Yugushe fled to the Western Regions, he still had many troops under his command. Return 80,000 Han Chinese who were captured by the Turks.

The Zhengshitang attaches great importance to the attachment of Yugushe. After all, although he was driven from Mobei to the Western Regions by the Tie Le people, he is a Hunjianglong that can be used by Datang to influence the Western Regions. Also brought a lot of people.

"Let's discuss how to set up a reward for the Valley of Desire!"

The staff of the military room of the political affairs hall came in and delivered an official document.

"My lords, I just received a report from Shi Liji, the chief governor of Bingzhou, that Ashina Shi Bobi died of illness in Bingzhou."

The several prime ministers looked at each other, they were talking about the Tuli brothers just now, why did the news of the illness and death come from Tuli?

After Li Jing defeated the Eastern Turks and Su Dingfang captured Jieli and entered Beijing, Tuli immediately submitted to the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin summoned Tuli to Beijing. After Tuli was called to Beijing, Li Shimin was very satisfied with his performance and immediately named him a The king of Beiping County, he was named a general.

Last year, civil strife broke out in the Tuli tribe, which was once a vassal of Turks, and Li Shimin specially appointed Tuli as the governor of Shunzhou, and asked him to go to Xuanzhao to mediate. Years ago, Tuli, who had successfully mediated, was about to return to Beijing, but got sick halfway and was stranded in Taiyuan, Bingzhou.

Unexpectedly, the news of death suddenly came out now.

"Tuli is not very old, is he?" Ma Zhou asked.

Tu Li used to be sworn brothers with Li Shimin, he was younger than Li Shimin, he was actually only twenty-nine years old this year, it was really surprising that he died suddenly of illness.

"Let's talk about Tuli's afterlife first. Who will inherit his title?"

The prime ministers were a little dull. Yugushe had heard that his elder brother Tuli was treated well in Chang'an, so he accepted his brother's call and was willing to join him. But now Tuli died suddenly. Will that affect Yugushe's surrender?

Does this person even think that Tuli's sudden illness and death have any inside story?

"I thought that according to the county king's specifications, the funeral for Tuli should be held, and his title should be inherited by his son He Luohu."

Dai Zhou asked, "Ashina Heluohu was born to Tuli and Sui Huainan Princess, is it suitable? And Heluohu is only in his teens, why don't you just give the title of Prince of Beiping to Yugushe?"

Qin Lang shook his head.

"I don't think it's right. Although He Luohu is young, he is the eldest son of Tuli after all. As for his widow, Yang Shi, is the princess of the Sui Dynasty, that's fine. If the title is passed on to Yugushe, it will be a bit of a bully to the orphans and widows." Mother’s suspicion, it’s better to be more generous and let He Luohu inherit Tuli’s title of King of Beiping County, and give Yugu another title.”

Changsun Wuji asked, "What kind of title is suitable, Duke?"

"Originally, it would be enough to be a Duke, but now that Tuli has died of illness, I think I can be named a County King to appease Yugushi. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you have no title."

"That's right, then make Shanggu County King?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Fang Xuanling added, "Wu Jie, the general of the town army, was awarded the post of general Zuo Xiaowei. In addition, Chang'an bestowed the first house."

For the imperial court, Yugushe is a great Turkic aristocrat with 100,000 people in his hands. Although he is now in exile in the Western Regions and has no place to stay, his strength is still there. Such a landless Eastern Turkic exiled aristocrat needs to be recruited more and more.

Whether it is the general of the Zhenjun, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, the king of Shanggu County, etc., they are all false. An empty-headed lord can at most give a salary, a house, and some slaves, which are not costly.

Regardless of whether Yugushi is willing to enter the court or not, as long as he is willing to surrender, it is worth giving these things, not to mention that he has already sent back 80,000 Han people who have been captive over the years, these alone are worth it.

Although Qin Lang and others also believed that the attachment of Yugushe was different from the attachment of Shi Wannian, the owner of Yiwu City, and that he would not easily abandon his tribe's troops and really enter the court like Tuli did at the beginning, but this power was used well. Yes, it will be of great help to Datang's entry into the Western Regions.

"King Qu Wentai of Gaochang and his wife Yu Wenshi came to Chang'an in person to congratulate them. They presented a dog that could pull a horse and a candle, and a jade plate. How should we reward them?"

Gaochang State is a Han regime, established in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and passed down to the present, surrounded by the city-states at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and the nomadic tribes at the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, it has survived for hundreds of years, which is a miracle. Although Gaochang Kingdom has also experienced four surname dynasties, the first three surnames add up to only a few decades, and the Qu family has been passed down in Gaochang for many generations.

It is located in the oasis of the Turpan Basin in the later generations. Historically, it belonged to the territory of the former king of the Han Cheshi. After the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, a large number of Han troops crossed the desert to guard the fields. Gaochangbi was built here and became the bridgehead of the Han Army in the Western Regions.

During the decline of Han Zuo, the Han troops in the Western Regions withdrew to the east one after another, and they all gathered here. Because they failed to return to the east, they finally settled and multiplied here.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Han people have long been the new masters of the car division, and Gaochang County was established in the Qianliang period. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Juqu family of Northern Liang moved westward and established their capital here, known as the Later Northern Liang Dynasty in history. Later, Hou Beiliang died in Rouran, and Gaochang became an independent state. It passed through the Kan family, Zhang family, Ma family, and then to the Qu family. It has been more than 170 years.

While the first three surnames only existed for 41 years, the Qu family had ruled Gaochang for more than 130 years.

The royal families of the four dynasties in Gaochang all came from pure Han blood, and the subjects were also the main body of the Han nationality. Chinese and Chinese characters were also widely used in the country, and the county system and household registration system were also implemented.

The official system also followed the Jin system with a slight modification.

It can be said that Gaochang State and the Central Plains have the same root, same origin, same language and same species, and they recognize each other.

However, after the Western Turks took control of the Western Regions, Gaochang was also forced to surrender to the Western Turks. Men were forced to change their hair with Turkic braids and left lapels, and only women kept their Han buns and Chinese clothes.

During the Sui Dynasty, the world was unified, hundreds of years of division ended, and the Eastern and Western Turks were defeated successively, and the Turks were forced to submit.

Because of this, Boya was named Dr. Zuo Guanglu, Cheshi Taishou, and Bian Guogong by Yang Guang. Yang Guang also named the daughter of his confidant Yu Wenshu as Princess Huarong and married Boya. In this way, King Gaochang became The royal son-in-law of the Sui Dynasty, the relationship is one step closer.

In the eighth year of Daye, after Boya and his wife returned to Gaochang, they ordered the middle school to change the uniform system, restoring the traditional Han family's clothes with tassels and braids, and skirts and skirts.

But soon there were civil strife in the Sui Dynasty, and it was difficult to look back.

At this time, the leader of Tie Le's Qibi tribe, Qibige, stood alone near Gaochang and began to rebel against the Western Turks. The Qibi tribe quickly controlled Gaochang and Yiwu, and Tuyuhun, who had been exterminated, also took advantage of it. After the defeat of the Liao Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, the country was restored again, Qiemo and Shanshan were all owned by Tuyuhun, and the Sui Dynasty basically had no power to control the Western Regions.

Shekui Khan rose up, defeated Qibigele, and unified the Western Regions. Yiwu County was also abolished, and Gaochang once again surrendered to Western Turks.

Qu Boya, who devoted himself to restoring the clothes of the Han family, was also usurped of the throne during the great turmoil in the Western Regions. The usurper was the Qu clan supported by the Western Turks, who reigned for six years after the usurpation.

It wasn't until the second year of Wude, with the help of Datang, that Boya was restored, but soon died of illness. Boya's eldest son, Wentai, succeeded to the throne. According to the modified Turkic adoption marriage system, Yuwen was made queen.

After succeeding to the throne, he went to the Tang Dynasty and asked to send envoys to attend his father's funeral and burial ceremony to show his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.

In the following five years, with the support of Datang, Wentai completely quelled the civil strife and stabilized Gaochang.

When Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he immediately sent envoys to congratulate him.

This year, I personally brought Queen Yuwen to congratulate him, presenting jade plates and poodles.

The Yuwen family even asked to change their surname to Li and join the Li family.

"Yiwu has been attached to Zhengzhou, West Yizhou. Can Gaochang be like this?" Dai Zhou asked.

Qin Lang felt that this idea was too taken for granted. Of course Datang wanted to take the opportunity to swallow Gaochang. The problem was that the Qu family had been in the country for more than a hundred years, so how could he be willing. Although Gaochang was a Han Dynasty with the same culture and the same species, after all, it was separated by a vast desert and lived outside for hundreds of years, so it was still somewhat different from the mainland of the Central Plains.

It is unrealistic to think of such a simple merger of Gaochang.
