I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 684

Deceiving oneself and others is often done out of helplessness.

Similarly, Zhao Xi and the entire cabinet ministers who knew the inside story were also paralyzed by using out of sight and out of mind.

When the imperial court received the report from Gao Jingting in front, it had already become a fact.They are all selectively avoiding, not talking about this matter in detail.Even Zhao Xi didn't open the Imperial City Division's detailed report on the battle situation.

All you need to know is that in this sneak attack, five Pathfinder teams suffered four casualties, and one soldier was surrounded by too many opponents during the attack, so he had no choice but to detonate the gunpowder bombs on his body, and they all died together.The other three, all in similar situations, were injured.

"That place is not suitable for recuperating. Even a slight injury may be life-threatening. Transport the wounded back and recuperate in Hehuang."

After Zhao Xi said this, he was in no mood to continue discussing the matter ahead.The same goes for cabinet ministers.Although it was a beautiful victory, everyone's mood couldn't get better.

Zhao Xi knew that there would be another gathering point like this along the path of the Pathfinder team.And the cabinet ministers because they are not sure how many more are ahead.

Quite hypocritical.In the past, no matter whether it was the Northern Liao Dynasty or the Western Xia Dynasty, the cavalry who captured the raw army and attacked the grass valley had always been inhumane on the border of the country and the dynasty.Now, the country is strong and prosperous, but it feels guilty for doing the same thing.

He was not in a happy mood, but state affairs could not be stopped, even Zhao Xi had to temporarily forget those pent-up emotions and continue to discuss serious matters with his ministers and businessmen.

There was no way, not long after the report from the Pathfinder team arrived, there was also a report from Hehuang.

Due to the overwhelming army of the Guochao, Dong Zhan, who lives in Qingtang, requested to be attached to the Guochao!
Another unpleasant thing.

Tubo pays attention to blood lineage. Since Songtsan Gampo ruled Tubo, those who are recognized by Tubo people are his descendants.As long as you have the blood of Songtsan Gampo, you will usually be recognized by Tubo and have a certain sense of belonging.

And Dong Zhan, who happened to be a descendant of Songtsen Gampo, was also recognized by the ministries around Qingtang.

Driven by interests, the tribes around Qingtang can attach themselves, but they cannot deny that they are from Tubo, nor can they change their recognition of Dong Zhan as the leader.

If Dong Felt is strong, he will face Da Song's acupuncture points, and then Da Song will attack Qingtang, and finally Da Song will destroy Dong Felt and clear Qingtang.Those attached tribes may not be unhappy to see... Finally, they don't have to feel guilty.

But it's different now, as their leader, Dong Zhan also voluntarily attached himself to the Song Dynasty, which put them all in the same situation, they were all attached to the Song Dynasty.

At this time, they will feel that there is also a need for a leader among the Tibetans in the enclosing...
From the standpoint of the imperial court, the dead Dong Zhan is more conducive to ruling those attached tribes than the living Dong Zhan.

However, Dong Zhan's request for inclusion meant that in the area of ​​Hehuang, the Tibetans still had leaders, and they still had a point of belonging recognized by them.

However, Guochao could not disagree with Dong Zhan's attachment.Because Dong felt is a role model and has symbolic meaning.

"Dong Zhan can't die, He Huang can't rest!"

Han Qi's words are also mentioned in Zhang Dun's memorial.At the same time that the official document arrived at the court, Wang Shao, Su Zhe, and Zhang Dun also expressed their opinions on the enclosed matter of Dong Zhan's request.

Wang Shao made a detailed and specific analysis of the impact of Dong Zhan's life and death on Hehuang.Su Zhe suggested to advance slowly, and gradually split the connection between the Tubo tribes by means of profit and gentleness, and finally achieve the result of comprehensive rule.However, Zhang Dun directly stated that the existence of Dong felt was a danger, and suggested not to accept the internal attachment or execute Dong felt.

"Dong Zhan's death at this time may cause all Wang Shao's efforts in the early stage to be wasted, and it is likely to cause Hehuang to fall into war."

Wang Anshi was not radical this time either, and expressed a gentle attitude towards dealing with it.

"How can the country be afraid of war?"

Han Qi has already forgotten the past of Guochao's repeated defeats.At this time, Guochao's combat strength was enough to give him such confidence.

"For Hehuang's absolute rule, a dead Dong Xun is indeed more beneficial than a living Dong Xun. But the current situation really can't let Dong Xun die, let alone refuse to be attached."

"The management of Hehuang was originally a prelude to the strategic encirclement of Xixia, but now it has reached the point where it can be waited for. Dong Zhan's life and death should not affect the strategic goals of the country. It is better to handle it properly."

Perhaps it was Fu Bi who disclosed the news about the government's arrangements for the cabinet ministers. The current cabinet deliberations are very standardized. Basically, they only speak when they are in charge of government affairs. Most of the other deliberations do not have a strong desire to consult.

Fu Bi is different, he is the prime minister, in charge of the overall situation.

"It is rumored that Dong Zhan is suffering from injuries and illnesses, and he is already near the end of his life. There is no need for the imperial court to increase the pressure on Hehuang at this time."

Wen Yanbo also tends to be cautious.In other words, the cabinet ministers basically do not agree that this is a troublesome time.

It's just that everyone only has directions, and there are no specific measures to deal with them.

"Accept the attachment. Ask Dong Zhan to take off his armor, and Guochao accepts it, but Hehuang no longer needs the existence of Tubo cavalry, and the war horses are unified under the management of the Hehuang Governor's Mansion, and Tubo people can be selected to be responsible for raising the war horses."

"Give Dong Zhan the highest courtesy, and invite Dong Zhan and his absolute loyalists to come to Beijing to receive rewards. The imperial court will prepare mansions for all the Tubo leaders who go to Beijing, and try to let them live in Bianliang as much as possible, but not deprive them of their tribal status." income and status."

"Order Wang Shao to select suitable candidates from among the various tribes in Tubo to serve as the spokesperson for the interests of the leaders. The spokespersons chosen should try to be those who do not have a harmonious relationship with each other."

Wang Shao has been Huairou for so many years, so he should have someone available in his pocket, and he should also know the personnel relationship of Dong Xing's department.It is possible to attach it, but it is impossible for the country to remain the same as before, allowing Dong Zhanbu to continue to be the de facto king in Qingtang, and continue to exist as a Jiedushi in a certain sense.

For Dong felt, it is a good choice to live in Bianliang and lead the way far away.

"Officials, can the tribes that have been attached before come to Bianliang to receive the title?"

"Yes. The imperial court doesn't care about a few more marquises, but it does not allow the existence of unstable factors. The cabinet will consider Gao Ling, set different reward specifications according to the different sizes of the tribes, and try to match the rewards with different residences."

"Let Wang Shao make this edict public. It is not forced, it is all voluntary. However, this is the only chance for me to invite myself to live in Bianliang, and the court will not wait for it to expire. Similarly, any tribe that threatens the stability of Hehuang will not choose to enter. For those in Bianliang, the Hehuang Governor's Mansion can split them up or disperse their strongholds according to the situation, and they can also be eliminated directly."

Today's state is able to forcefully introduce various policies.With so many soldiers and horses gathered in Hehuang, it would be uneconomical not to fight some battles.
