I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 494: Born in the Tang Dynasty, What an Honor

"All four leaders have been dealt with."

"Li Zheng, I have to give you a farewell drink today."

"Let's reward the brothers from the three armies in the evening," Li Kuan suggested.

"it is good."

"Go and prepare."

"I will leave tomorrow, so let's have a drink with my brothers today." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite."

"Let's prepare it right away." Li Kuan smiled and went to prepare it immediately.

The entire city wall seemed very lively.

With the capture of the Shatuo Khan, the obstacles in the northern border became smaller.

There is no need to worry even if Li Zheng leaves.

Next, as long as Li Ke and Li Kuan advance and expand the territory normally, the Tang Dynasty's territory in the northern border can also grow steadily.

It won't be long.

The entire northern border will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

of course.

This process does not have to be as urgent as the Tang Dynasty's response to the invasion of foreign tribes in the northern border.

after that.

It is entirely possible to take it step by step, slowly deploy military forces, and gradually expand.

after all.

Because of Li Zheng's city-building strategy, the situation in the northern border has been completely changed.

……

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

All the officials gathered.

"The Ministry of Revenue has submitted a report."

"Thirty-nine new cities have been built in the northern border."

"Wherever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led his troops, he moved all the herdsmen in the northern border into the city and planned the division of pastures. The herdsmen can still graze, but like the farmers in our Tang Dynasty, they need to pay taxes."

"Targeting the tribes in the northern border."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has his own way of governing."

"You can graze, but you must strictly follow the laws and national policies of the Tang Dynasty."

"From now on, all herdsmen in northern Xinjiang will live in cities."

"According to rough statistics, more than five million herdsmen from northern Xinjiang have migrated to the 39 newly built cities." Qin Jiansheng said in an excited tone.

Hear this.

Li Shimin's face also showed a look of shock: "In more than a year, thirty-nine cities were built in the northern border. This is unprecedented and has never happened before."

"Since ancient times."

"The northern border has been a major threat to our Yanhuang dynasties. Even the once powerful Western Han Dynasty could only defeat the foreign tribes in the northern border, but they would come back again after many years."

"And now."

"My son has created a military achievement that has never been seen before."

"The Northern Frontier will be completely stable and become a part of the Great Tang territory."

"They can no longer make any waves."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, his relief and excitement were naturally beyond words.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has divine power, unprecedented in the history of the world."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"The Tang Dynasty will last forever."

All civil and military officials in the court sang loudly in unison.

After hearing about the great achievements Li Zheng had made in the northern border, and thinking about how the problems that had been unsolvable by successive generations of the Yanhuang Dynasty were now solved in the hands of His Highness, they were filled with excitement and pride.

It is such an honor to be born in the Tang Dynasty.

In the future, there will be a bold record in history books that Li Zheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, founded the northern border and expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty by thousands of miles.

"emperor."

"Your big hand is only one month away."

"His Highness has already instructed us before we set out on the expedition that the Emperor's birthday must be celebrated with great fanfare."

"I will start to handle it after your approval." Minister of Rites Chen Shubao stepped forward and said loudly.

"I second the proposal."

"The Emperor's fiftieth birthday should be celebrated in a grand manner."

"One is to celebrate the emperor's birthday, and the other is to celebrate the great success of the Tang Dynasty in the northern border."

"Your Majesty, please grant your permission." All the civil and military officials in the court shouted in unison.

Throughout the ages.

As soon as an official proposed to celebrate the emperor's birthday, there would inevitably be voices of opposition because it was too extravagant and wasteful.

However, there were many arrogant and extravagant emperors who liked to have fun and hold birthday celebrations to make money.

But for Li Shimin, a wise ruler who conquered the world together with Emperor Gaozu, this was an exception.

What he hated most was extravagance and waste, and he set very strict standards for himself, so he didn't like celebrating birthdays at all.

"This matter."

"Let's wait until Li Zheng comes back."

"He said he wanted to celebrate my birthday. If he doesn't come back, I won't bother to do it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with some resentment.

Hear the words.

Many civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

at this time.

"Father."

"Do you really want to do this? If I don't come back, you won't hold a birthday party?"

"Why? Do you want me to teach you step by step?"

A teasing voice came from outside the hall.

Hear the sound.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked outside the hall, all with happy expressions.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down.

Under the gaze of all the ministers, Li Zheng slowly walked into the hall, then raised his hand and said, "Stand up."

"You stinky boy, you finally decided to come back."

"I thought you were going to stay in the northern border and not come back." Li Shimin said with some resentment.

But looking at the excitement on his old face, it can be seen that he is also very happy to see his prince return.

"Didn't I say I would give you a long life?"

"I will never go back on my words." Li Zheng smiled.

Subsequently.

Li Zheng turned around and looked at Chen Shubao: "Minister Chen, my father has never held a grand birthday party before. This time, the northern border has been stabilized, which is a great joy. My father's birthday is even more joyful."

"I give you the power. Don't worry about the cost. Give me the most grand and luxurious birthday banquet."

"All the civil and military officials in the court, relatives of the princes from all over the country, and elders over 90 years old in the society have been invited to the palace to celebrate my father's birthday."

"This time, I want to give my father a grand ceremony."

Hearing Li Zheng's words.

Chen Shubao immediately bowed and said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness. I will do my best to hold the most grand birthday celebration."

"Li Zheng."

"Don't be too extravagant."

"I'm just celebrating a birthday." When Li Shimin heard that Li Zheng wanted to hold a big celebration, he was somewhat reluctant.

"Father."

"Listen to me this time."

"Moreover, during the pacification of the northern border, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty did not suffer much loss. On the contrary, it gained a lot of gold, silver and money."

"It won't cost the people of the Tang Dynasty any money."

"Don't worry, old man." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Seeing Li Zheng like this, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly: "It's up to you."

"Where did the meeting go just now?"

"Keep playing."

"I haven't attended court for more than a year, so it's a good time to listen." Li Zheng walked up the stairs and asked the court officials.

"Your Highness."

"Now is the perfect time to report on the matter of building a city in the northern border." Qin Jiansheng said respectfully.

"Thirty-nine cities have been built in the Northern Frontier. The people living in these cities are all herdsmen from the original Northern Frontier tribes. However, from now on, they will all be the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Population is the foundation of our powerful Tang Dynasty."

"Now I have asked my second and third brothers to guard the northern border."

"And the thirty-nine cities will be reduced to one prefecture, the Northern Frontier Prefecture."

"The Ministry of Revenue sent people to Northern Frontier to register all the people in Northern Frontier Prefecture." Li Zheng said.
