The court's dynasty will be divided into major dynasties, central dynasties and small dynasties. The major dynasties will be held only at special times, such as the New Year dynasties, the Ascension of the Throne, etc.

The Chinese and Korean court meetings are usually held at five or ten o'clock every month. Small court meetings are held every day. Officials with fifth rank or above attend, and general military generals and void officials do not need to attend.

The military and political affairs held today are temporary court meetings, with higher ranks, and officials from third rank or above are eligible to participate.

In addition to prime ministers, there are also some powerful officials, such as the Censor Central Committee, the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of War, etc.

Military and political discussions were held in the side hall of Zichen Hall, and all the ministers were in place, and the emperor Li Longji and the regent prince also arrived.

At this time, Li Xiu sat at the bottom, calmly waiting for the start of military and political discussions.

This discussion was actually a report on Beiting's work specially arranged for him, and at the same time, it was necessary to let all the officials of the court understand the current situation in Beiting.

‘Dang!’ The cloud board sounded and the meeting began.

Li Longji said slowly: "Last month I also discussed the Beiting crisis with my loved ones. In just over a month, the Beiting crisis has been resolved. I believe everyone is like me and has many doubts to clarify. So, taking this opportunity today, I will ask the 38th Prince to report on the situation in Beiting to everyone and let everyone have a clear judgment."

The right prime minister Zhang Jiuling was in charge of today's military and political affairs. He then stood up and said, "I believe everyone has read the report of the Jiedushi. Let me ask the Beiting Jiedushi Li Jun to briefly retell his judgment for you."

Zhang Jiuling called Li Xiu with a formal and official attitude, which is different from Emperor Li Longji.

Li Xiu stood up and walked to Danbi. This position was the place where the ministers reported their duties. They both faced the emperor and took care of the ministers.

Li Xiu bowed to the emperor and to the regent prince, and then said slowly: "What happened in Beiting can be said to be an accidental event, but it also has a certain trajectory that will happen in chance. Everyone knows that Tuqi Shiren has been plotting against Beiting for a long time, but the Battle of Sabreeding at the beginning of the year severely damaged Tuqi Shiren, and their power had to move northward, mainly distributed in the area south of Yibohai to Jinshan.

This area is exactly the sphere of influence of the Gelulu people. Judging from the information I currently have, the Tuqi Shiren and the Gelulu people are in a war for the sake of territorial territory. Under this situation, the Tuqi Shiren will not attack Beiting in large quantities.

This is the accidental incident I just mentioned. It was the Tuhuoxian who used his tribal army to invade Beiting without authorization, which had nothing to do with the Tuqi donor.

Of course, this is also the fact that Tuhuoxian was dissatisfied with his position as Khan. He wanted to seize Beiting and establish Nantuqishi. It happened that the Yuan family wanted to seize Beiting. The two sides hit it off, and Yuan Tao gave up Yizhou. "

At this time, Li Linfu raised his hand and said, "I have a question. Can you ask Your Highness to solve the problem?"

"Please say it to Xiangguo Li!"

"Your Highness just said that the Yuan family wants to rule over Beiting. If so, the Yuan family should arrange to go to Beiting, but Yuan Biao and his descendants have no plans to leave Chang'an. How can we explain?"

"This is a question of time. Yuan Tao has been serving as the governor of Beiting for only half a year, and it is far from being able to control the Beiting army. It is definitely not the case that the Yuan family wants to go to Beiting. At least two or three years later, when Yuan Jin completely controls Liangzhou and Yuan Tao completely controls Beiting, they will transfer their wealth and children to Beiting.

But I was ordered to go to Beiting to disrupt the Yuan family's plan. The Yuan family could not be sure whether I was sending off the bride or arresting Yuan Tao. They were also watching. In addition, I did not touch Yuan Jin, so they did not feel the crisis.

The problem lies in Yuan Tao coming to Gaochang to testify his marriage. He was afraid that his army would be too small, so I used the Tianshan Army to attack him, so he ordered Sun Zhaoyang to lead the Yiwu army south, which led to an empty situation in Yizhou. Tuhuoxian seized this opportunity and led his army to occupy Yizhou. The crisis in Beiting occurred."

"Your Highness means that Yuan Tao didn't realize it even if the thunder cavalry attacked Yizhou?" Li Linfu asked afterwards.

"Yuan Tao really doesn't know, but Sun Zhaoyang, the Yiwu Army envoy, knew that he was bribed by the Tuqi Shi people. Before he led his army south, he sent someone to notify the Tuqi Shixian. The Tuqi Shixian seized this opportunity. Judging from the information I have, Sun Zhaoyang had selfish intentions and betrayed the Yuan family."

Li Linfu was about to ask again, but Li Feng said a little displeased: "Li Xiangguo, the Yuan family is already a thing of the past. No need to worry about it anymore. We should still focus on the overall situation!"

Li Linfu hurriedly said, "I understand!"

He stopped asking more and sat down.

Li Shizhi stood up and said, "Your Highness, will the Tuqi Shiren go south again, under the guise of avenging the Tuhuoxian? If he goes south, how should the Beiting army deal with it?"

Li Xiu said calmly: "First of all, we need to clarify one thing. How much strength does the Tuqi Shiren still have? If this problem is not clear, we will not be able to take the next step. This time we wiped out 10,000 people from the Tuqi Xian tribe. Judging from the confessions of prisoners of war from all sides, the 10,000 troops have already occupied 30,000 of the Tuqi Shi's total strength, that is, the other side still has about 20,000 troops, and there are about 30,000 to 40,000 people in the Gelulu. They will be a relatively long-term confrontation and are likely to be annexed by the Gelulu and completely disappear."

"Is there any possibility of being defeated by the Geluo people and heading south again?" Li Shizhi continued to ask.

Li Xiu shook his head, "If they are defeated, their strength is far from being able to compete with the Tang army, let alone regaining the Shattered Leaf. They have only two fates, either migrating west or north, or being annexed and will not go south again."

"But that's just your assumption."

"No, it's determined by strength."

Li Shizhi smiled and nodded, "My question is over, thank you for answering the question!"

At this time, Zhang Jiuling stood up and smiled and said, "Let me ask a summary question! What is the focus of Beiting's next step?"

Li Xiu bowed and said, "Reporting to Zhang Prime Minister, Beiting has three major things to do next. First, it is to maintain the unobstructed access to the North Silk Road. This is mainly to strengthen the garrison of the Yili Valley and firmly control the Yili Valley and the Rehai area in the hands of the Tang army. Secondly, it is to promote military garrisons to make the Beiting army completely self-sufficiency in food. The third major thing is to promote the immigration of the Han people. The Beiting government needs to prepare a large amount of land for the immigrants."

Li Xiu proposed three plans and won the consensus of everyone, especially immigrating to Beiting and Anxi to promote the court's control over the Western Regions. This has always been a major event that the court is vigorously promoting.

Emperor Li Longji asked happily: "What does Beiting need the imperial court to do?"

"Reporting to my father, Beiting needs a large number of civilian officials to prepare for managing immigration. I hope the court can send a group of civilian officials. Secondly, Beiting needs to open a group of schools, and also need help from the court in terms of teaching."

Li Longji nodded, "The emperor wrote a specific report and it can be implemented after approval by the court!"

.........

The last thing to discuss military and political affairs is to approve the commendation and rewards of the Battle of Beiting.

Although Li Xiu restored the King Jue and reached a tacit understanding between Li Longji and Li Chengqi, that was behind the scenes, and it was an reward for his contribution to defending Beiting.

Zhang Jiuling glanced at everyone and said, "If you have any opinions on the plan drafted by the Ministry of War, you can raise it now. If there is no objection, it will be officially approved."

At this time, Niu Xianke stood up and said slowly: "The old minister has a few words to say."

Li Xiu narrowed his eyes, and the bastard really stood up at the last moment.

"What do you have to say in Niu Xiangguo?"

Niu Xianke said calmly: "The soldiers in Beiting fought in blood. I have no doubt about their achievements. It is just about the resumption of the prince. I think the time is not yet ripe."

As soon as Niu Xianke said this, a series of discussion suddenly sounded from the side palace. Li Feng understood in his heart that Niu Xianke was joining forces with Li Mao to fight Li Xiu recently, so the letter of arrow yesterday was probably shot by Li Xiu.

A hint of dissatisfaction appeared in Li Longji's eyes. Restoring the title of Thirty-Eight Lang was an agreement reached between him and the Regent.

Letting court officials discuss it is just a form and has no practical significance. There should be no objection, but Niu Xianke actually stood up to oppose it, which made Li Longji feel dissatisfied.

Li Longji restrained his anger and asked lightly: "What Niu Xiangguo means is that Thirty-Balang's contribution is not great enough to restore his former title?"

"No! No! No! Weichen doesn't mean this. It's just that some rumors recently are not good for the reputation of the 38th Prince, so Weichen feels that the time is not ripe. If he can slow down a little, it will not be too late to restore his title until the rumors pass."
