The day after the emperor's throne ceremony was completed, preparations for the queen's enthronement ceremony began.

As the position of Kunji, the lord of the harem, the mother of the world, and his enthronement was also a grand ceremony for the country. Although the specifications were slightly lower than the emperor's throne ceremony, the basic procedures were also different, and it was also necessary to report to the ancestors of heaven and earth and congratulate the ministers. In addition, there were also congratulations by all the wives of the outside dynasty.

At the same time, since there is also an Empress Dowager in this dynasty with an unusual status, the Empress Dowager's presence should be fully considered during the preparation of the ceremony.

The second day after the throne ceremony was held, the wives from the outer court entered the house of the reign of the wife outside Guangshun Gate to temporarily stay in the ceremony. Among them, Pei Xingjian's wife, Rudi, who had served as the female official of the Wuzhou Dynasty, was appointed as the envoy of the inner etiquette and prepared the enthronement ceremony with Ouyang Tong, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the outer court.

After staying in the Chang'an Hall of the Queen's Bedroom for a night, Li Tong obediently returned to his Bedroom Penglai Hall. All the etiquette and trivial matters were handled by the Office, and he did not rest assured that he had a lot of matters waiting for him to handle the decision.

At present, in terms of foreign affairs, apart from the ongoing pursuit of the Khitans in Hebei, there are no major events worth paying attention to. The latest progress of the war in Hebei is also gratifying. With Li Jinzhong's sudden death in Yingzhou and the Khitan military collapse, the subsequent war was various pursuits.

Among them, the three armies of Heichi Changzhi, Tang Xianze, and Yang Xianzong had successfully joined forces in Youzhou, and the thieves in Hebei have basically been eliminated. The Khitan rebels, who had originally returned to Youzhou, were defeated by Zhang Renren, who had arrived at the battlefield in Hebei, and were pursuing them all the way. With the cooperation of former northern generals Yang Xuanji, Zhang Jiujie and others, the people in front had entered the western Liaoning area and were starting to regain Yingzhou.

Unlike the war against rebellion that was hard to describe in history, Li Jinzhong's main force was defeated in Yingzhou within Hebei, although Sun Wanrong's troops still retained a certain degree of strength, they were no longer a big problem. The Xi's turn against him also made the Khitans lose their biggest ally, and once this ally turned against him, he would be even more fierce when he inserted his knife.

Among them, Xi chief Li Daqiu alone presented more than 5,000 Khitan heads to the Tang Dynasty at one time. In addition to harvesting the heads of Khitan soldiers on the front battlefield, the Xi people in the left-behind tribe even attacked the Khitan Songmo Prefecture and plundered and killed the left-behind Khitan troops, as if they wanted to destroy the Khitans in one go.

Originally, Turk Mochu, the biggest promoter of the failure of the Khitan rebellion, was defeated in Dongshoujiang City, not only failed to get involved in Hequ, nor did he have the power to intervene in the war in the Northeast. Therefore, in the Northeast, the Tang army once again took the absolute initiative.

Of course, in this great situation, there are still certain hidden dangers. In the Northeast, the number of Tang people was not superior. A large number of Donghu tribes lived on this land. With the collapse of the throne order centered on Yingzhou, it still took some hard work to make these Donghu tribes re-entered into the order of the Tang Dynasty.

The biggest hidden danger is the escape from the east of the Martres. The Martres are also an ancient tribe in the Donghu. If the independence of its tribe under the order of the Tang Dynasty is not considered, the Martres' power is actually better than that of the Khitan.

Of course, this power is full of blood and tears. In the early Tang Dynasty, the people of the Mohe unfortunately lived between the two powerful powers of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo. The Sumo Mohe, the most powerful in the tribal alliance, split up, and part of them joined the Tang Dynasty and formed a group of Sumo Fan generals represented by Li Jin's behavior.

As for the other tribe, they were driven and enslaved by Goguryeo and arranged to be in the Liaodong area, which was on the front line of fighting against the Tang Dynasty. This part of the people had a much more miserable relationship. With the fall of Goguryeo, they joined the Tang Dynasty as a servant army of the defeated warriors. The leader was detained in Yingzhou, and their subordinates were placed in the Liaodong area. They were controlled by the Tang Dynasty to fight against the Heishui Mohe in the northeast.

This time, the leader Qiqi Zhongxiang, the leader of the Marine who fled from Yingzhou, belonged to the latter. Of course, they did not enjoy much favor from the Tang Dynasty, and they experienced more of the cruelty of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, they had a lot of grievances in their hearts, and it was not easy to get back to replenish them.

Moreover, there are as many as 100,000 Goguryeo remnants in Liaodong. These people are fully integrated with the Marines, and they have a bit of a sense of inseparable brothers and brothers. This is also the objective basis for the Bohai Kingdom to be established in history.

In the current time and space, Li Tong certainly did not allow the existence of Bohai Kingdom like Haidong again, but he also understood that if he just blindly conquered the enemy, it would probably be counterproductive.

Therefore, he also made full use of the personnel foundation left over from the previous Eastern Expeditions of the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, he vigorously promoted the generals of the Northeast. Heichi Changzhi had several former Goguryeo Gao family and Quan family who were selected to differentiate Goguryeo's remnants. On the other hand, he actively contacted Heishui Mohe and used these local forces to stop Sumo Mohe's escape route from the east.

Using barbarians to control barbarians has always been the only way for a powerful empire to maintain border order. After all, if you want to maintain such a large territory, you will rely on the investment on the front battlefield. Even the most powerful regime cannot resist this kind of consumption. Although there will inevitably be disadvantages of raising a tiger in the process, overall the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Li Tong has had a lot of dealings with the surrounding Hu Hu in recent years. In fact, when facing the problem of Hu Hu in the frontier, he still looks a bit rough and simple in viewing a tribe as a whole. In addition to the contradiction between regimes and regimes, there is actually another dimension, that is, the contradiction between classes.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although the policies of the surrounding Hu Hu were tough, they were still gentle. Overall, they were still open and inclusive. Emperor Gaozong was in a prosperous territory and attacked from all sides. Although these Hu Hu were inevitably suffering from military conquests, they also received a lot of various war bonuses, such as the title of Tie and Reward.

However, most of this part of the war dividends were intercepted by the heads of the Venerable Hu chiefs, and ordinary tribal people benefited very little, which formed strong dissatisfaction among the lower class. On the one hand, the leader of the Venerable Hu chiefs obtained various war dividends from the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, they incited and utilized this kind of resentment at the bottom class and kept making trouble to seek greater benefits.

Regarding this, the mercenaries of the Xihexing Society were fully demonstrated. There were a large number of cities and servants in the Tang army, but the overall combat effectiveness was not high. At most, they followed the main Tang army to fight a battle, clean up the battlefield, or undertake various military labor.

However, the Xihexing Society is different from the minion army led by the Hu chiefs. They were directly sent by the imperial court and directly commanded the battle by the Tang generals. The rewards of the war were directly transferred to individual soldiers. Therefore, their performance on the battlefield was extremely fierce, and they all performed well in both attacking and in field battles.

In fact, whether it is the Tang people or the Fan Hu, the real life at the bottom was extremely hard. But relatively speaking, the Tang Dynasty occupied the vastest land in this world, suitable for farming, and also had laws and regulations to maintain the living space of the citizens. The subordinates of the Fan Hu Hu lived completely without their own personal life, and could be said to be the private property of their chiefs.

If you are prosperous, you will help the world. Li Tong felt it was necessary to convey your blessings to the six barbarians and liberate the British people who were enslaved by the leaders of the Hu chiefs. After all, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also had the title of Tian Khan, and both Chinese and foreigners are my people.

Therefore, in the next step to calm the situation in the Northeast, he planned to use bans and household registration, and gradually replace the chief commander of the rich through the three towns of the village. Of course, the situations of the various foreign countries are different, and a complete copying and improper copying may not achieve the expected results, but as long as the tribal system of personal dependence and affiliation of the Fanhu tribe can be weakened, it is worth trying.

After all, democratic universal suffrage can be carried out in the caste system, and there is nothing else that can’t be done. First, practice from some weak Fanhu tribes. If they are broken, they will be broken. As long as there are some results, they can continue to promote it.

Of course, the social organizational structure like Zhuhu also has its own profound reasons. The productivity is low and there is no stable production method like farming. The individual's ability to fight risks is too small, so they have to live in groups.

Before Li Tong, it was not that there were no individuals or regimes who tried this matter, but most of them ended up in vain and were not fully implemented. Without a stable production environment and production method, even if the household registration was forcibly registered, it would be difficult for these households to exist for a long time. They went bankrupt and became extremely poor and gathered to break out even more unrest. After all, even the Central Plains dynasty was inevitably subject to the eruption of periodic contradictions in land annexation.

However, when Li Tong was considering these issues, his purpose was not pure enough.

He focused more on it, and in the shortest time, he still recovered the military hegemony that gradually declined from the late Gaozong period to the Wuzhou dynasty. Only by returning to the highlight moment in the military and establishing an authority that cannot be provoked will the next question be considered whether the system and productivity cooperate.

He also had a clear standard in his mind about Zhuhu's household, that is, he needed to meet the requirements of military employment, trade complementarity and raw material supply. If Zhuhu could not meet these requirements, it would not be of great value to keep.

For example, with the establishment of the Three Surrender City, the situation in Heshuo became stable. The Eastern Turkic households in the six prefectures of Hequ could recruit soldiers, grazing and providing various materials such as horses, fur, meat, etc., as well as participating in salt production and even mining, which has the value of being a household.

As for the Turkic people who are still active in the northern desert, they are the targets that need to be hunted and pursued.

The existence of these tyrants not only cannot bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty, but also threatens the personal and property safety of the six states of Hequ. Wherever the job is, the butt is there, so many fellow villagers who see the fellow villagers and cry.
