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

Chapter 585 Li Zheng Returns Victoriously
It is indeed a very happy thing for the Tang Dynasty to control this huge Shi Khanate and make it a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

But for Li Shimin, if he had to exchange his son Su Xing for this, he would choose his son without hesitation, and the same would apply to Li Zheng.

In Li Shimin's view, although the territory of this foreign land is vast, it is not as big as that of his son and grandson.

Upon hearing the news that the Shi Khanate had surrendered, Li Shimin naturally thought of Tianxiang Doukou, the key to awakening his son.

A moment of calm.

Li Shimin immediately looked at Zheng Xuan and asked loudly: "Now that the Shi Khanate has been settled, has your emperor said when he will come back?"

"Reporting to the Emperor."

"The emperor did not mention this in the war report."

"but."

"The Shi Khanate has been conquered. Perhaps the emperor is on his way back now." Zheng Xuan said respectfully.

"Ah."

Li Shimin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

When it's time to speak.

"Father."

"It's been so long since we last met, did you miss me?"

outside the temple.

Suddenly a voice was heard, this voice was filled with a hint of laughter.

Hear the sound.

Li Shimin's brows relaxed and he looked outside the hall.

The eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court were instantly focused.

Li Zheng, dressed in black and exuding a cold and majestic aura, walked slowly into the court.

Saw Li Zheng.

All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down with excitement, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May you live long and long."

"My dear friends, stay safe."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said majestically.

More than nine months.

He no longer comes to the Tai Chi Hall.

now.

Finally it came again.

I haven't been back for so long, and this place still feels very familiar.

When Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, saw Li Zheng's return, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

This time.

His heart was completely settled.

"Father."

"I am back."

Li Zheng walked into the hall and said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"it is good."

"It'll be nice to come back."

"I have already retired, but you have been forced to take over the government for another nine months, you conscienceless boy." Li Shimin scolded with a smile in a helpless tone.

"Father."

"This time, your son has become the emperor who has expanded the most territory since the creation of the Yanhuang Dynasty."

"By this land, your son's name will live forever."

"Doesn't this make you happy?"

Li Zheng said with a smile.

Standing in this hall, the authority of the Tang Dynasty is loyal.

Li Zheng could easily tell all the civil and military officials in the court, and even the people of the entire Tang Dynasty, that he, as an emperor, was a true king who expanded the territory and was full of martial virtues.

Just by virtue of this achievement of expanding territory, the territory of the Shi Khanate was almost larger than that of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of this.

In history books, Li Zheng can be called the greatest emperor of all time.

"Happy."

"My son is so outstanding, how can I not be happy?"

"I would be happier if you could stop being so concerned about going to the battlefield in person." Li Shimin laughed, but there was still a ambiguity in his words.

Li Zheng glanced at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "Father, this time I have achieved my wish, and you have also fulfilled your wish. From now on, your son can go to any battlefield he wants.

Hear this.

Li Shimin's heart trembled, and he stood up from the dragon chair. He could naturally understand the implicit meaning of Li Zheng's words.

"Really...really?"

Li Shimin said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of anticipation.

real. "

Li Zheng nodded heavily, "My son has never let my father down before, and I won't let him down this time either."

"Good, good, good."

"I leave the court to you. I'll go there first."

"Come quickly."

Li Shimin smiled and turned around and left the Taiji Hall.

Li Zheng slowly walked up the stairs and sat on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty."

"The Shi Khanate has been settled. From now on, it will be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty."

"This matter should be announced to the world so that all people in the world know about this victory." Li Zheng said loudly with endless heroic spirit.

"I congratulate His Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live the emperor."

All the civil and military officials in the court had serious expressions on their faces and shouted in unison.

Such a big deal.

It is indeed a cause for universal celebration that such a huge empire fell at the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

"Preach my will."

“On this day of universal celebration.”

"Amnesty to the world."

"Anyone who commits a minor crime may be pardoned."

"For those who have committed serious crimes and are sentenced to exile, I will change the original sentence and send them to the northern border to work."

"In our Tang Dynasty, we encourage people to settle in the northern border. Once people are willing to migrate, local governments will fully support them." Li Zheng said in a powerful voice.

Although the Northern Frontier Prefecture has a population of over 10 million, the area is vast and sparsely populated, and the Tang Dynasty also needs to reproduce and take root, so they can be assimilated into the Han culture with the Tang Dynasty's etiquette.

only if.

Only then can they completely belong to the Tang Dynasty.

After all, the Tang Dynasty directly controlled and governed the Northern Frontier Prefecture, unlike the Shi Khanate which was a vassal.

For countries like the Shi Khanate, and even those foreign countries that the Tang Dynasty will conquer in the future, the Tang Dynasty will adopt a colonial approach. With the Three Corpses Brain Pill, this is the best way to control them.

If foreign resources are fully given to the Tang Dynasty, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will become extremely powerful.

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

"Qin Qing."

"What happened to Goguryeo?" Li Zheng looked at Qin Jiansheng.

"Return to the Emperor."

"The household registration and population of Goguryeo have all been counted."

"After the war, Goguryeo now has a total population of 5.6 million."

"And the national policy of the Great Tang has been fully implemented in the territory of Goguryeo, except that the taxation is 20% higher than that of the people of the Great Tang."

"The King of Goryeo is also very obedient to our Tang Dynasty and dares not disobey." Qin Jiansheng replied immediately.

"How many soldiers does Goguryeo have now? How many yamen runners?" Li Zheng looked at Zheng Xuan again.

"Goguryeo now has more than 50,000 Tang troops stationed there, and its own army has more than 60,000."

Zheng Xuan replied immediately.

"Abolition."

"Goguryeo has completely been subordinated to the Tang Dynasty. They will no longer need their own army."

"These Goguryeo troops will be transferred to the Shi Khanate to guard the Tang Dynasty for us."

"Also, strictly limit the number of Koguryo runners. No more than fifty runners should be employed by a government office. If more than fifty are employed, they will be punished."

"If there really are some extremely vicious criminals who need to be dealt with by the army, report it directly to the government and mobilize the garrison." Li Zheng said in a deep voice.

For Goguryeo.

Now why not just merge them directly into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, because Goguryeo has become part of the Tang Dynasty. It is just a vassal state, nothing else.

In Li Zheng’s opinion, just be affiliated.

As long as it is under control, there is no difference between this so-called subordination and direct inclusion.
