Chapter 1916 Entrustment or not
"Tubo!" Liu Xi murmured, her brows were unconsciously raised, and she kept glancing at Emperor Liu, her eyes full of suspicion.

Liu Xi had to guess the intention of Emperor Liu's move. Given the current political atmosphere of the imperial court, he would not be surprised if he said that he was going to be crowned King of Tubo.However, if it is sealed to Tubo, maybe it is not as good as Anton and Rao Le?

What's more, in the plateau area, regardless of geography, economy, religion, and folk customs, the conditions in all aspects are relatively difficult, and the development potential is limited.Although Anton and Rao Le are crying, there are pastures, arable land, mines in the mountains, and fish in the rivers. Even in the freezing weather, you can also add clothes and light a fire to avoid the cold. However, not everyone can stay in the plateau. to stay
In Liu Xi's view, the imperial court can achieve nominal rule over the plateau, and the Tubo tribes have recognized the authority of the imperial court.

As far as resources such as horses, livestock, and leather goods are concerned, wouldn't it be more convenient for the imperial court to obtain them from Hexi, Monan and even Mobei?

Perhaps Emperor Liu's recent decision-making was too impressive, and Liu Xi had already subconsciously considered the issue of sealing the Tubo area to himself.

As for the "Minister in Tibet", in Liu Xi's view, it is probably just a transitional stage.Just like the matter of Anxi and Nanyang, although it has not been promulgated like Rao Le, An Dong, and Lin Yi, a consensus has been reached from top to bottom, and it has been defined by Emperor Liu as a mission and task that must be completed , is not yet decided, it is just a matter of time.

The enfeoffment map that Emperor Liu showed to the princes at the beginning was not just the description and imagination on the map. If something happened to Emperor Liu, that map would be the most legal basis for the imperial court in enfeoffment matters.

Liu Xi frowned in deep thought, while Emperor Liu looked at the Qianyuan Hall in a daze. This most majestic and largest palace in history was shining brightly under the sunshine of spring, which moved Emperor Liu inexplicably.

"The imperial court has been managing Tubo for more than 30 years. Even though it does not spend as much money as Anton, Monan, and Northwest, the accumulation of [-] years is still quite a lot.

Not long ago, I looked at the fiscal and taxation situation of Jiannan Road. About half of the expenses for the surrounding areas of the Branch Association were invested in Sichuan and Tibet and the tea horse trade with Tubo, and half of the income from the Southwest Tea Horse City Supervision Dao, if it is used in the administrative maintenance and military construction of Sichuan and Tibet, it is a loss in terms of money and food!
However, the imperial court paid these prices, and what they want to achieve is not only the nominal rule of the Tubo tribes, which has been vain for 30 years, but it is time to change to a pragmatic one and obtain some real things.The imperial court should not only stop at influencing the snow-covered plateau, but also strengthen its control. This is not because I want to be overjoyed and greedy for perfection. If this was the case, I would have sent troops to the west.

In the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was an unavoidable topic. Although it has been sunk for a hundred years and its division is declining, it came out of the plateau in the east, invaded our Han land, invaded our rivers, and cut off our Han land for three thousand miles. This matter should be admonishment forever!If Tubo can be tamed, it will be extremely important to the safety of Jiannan and the stability of the Southwest! "

Emperor Liu explained his thoughts to Liu Xi, showing his strength in an understatement: "In recent years, the imperial court has also cultivated some tribes that are close to the imperial court, especially in the border area between Sichuan and Tibet. The establishment of a management agency will have the basis of 'public opinion'.

After you are stationed in Luoxi, in addition to continuing to implement the imperial court's appeasement policy, the most important task is to organize a set of Tubo affairs management structure and play its role. The native officials and chieftains who were rewarded by the imperial court had to be managed well, and they had to abide by the rules of the imperial court if they got benefits from the big man.

At the same time, it is necessary to continue to open up the road between Sichuan and Tibet, and increase the communication between Han and Han. In addition, for those tribes who are stubborn and still intend to fight against the imperial court, they must organize and suppress them, pursue them fiercely, and wipe them out until they are completely wiped out.

Over the years, I have heard too much about Tubo's rebellion, and that about raids, so it's time to make a summary.If you are ignorant of current affairs, no matter how vast the plateau is, there will be no shelter for it! "

Speaking of this, Emperor Liu's tone unconsciously carried a bit of murderous intent, and his cloudy eyes became clear and ruthless. It was the "measurability" of being an emperor with millions of corpses.

After a short pause, he glanced at Liu Xi, seeing that he was listening seriously, Emperor Liu said again: "As for the establishment of the ministers stationed in Tubo, you and Zhao Pu have a discussion about the plan. As long as it is within the reasonable scope, there is no objection. It's up to you!

A part of the customs and city tax for the Sichuan-Tibetan and Yunnan-Tibet tea-horse trade will be set aside as the administrative operating expenses of the organization. The specific division will be discussed with the Secretary of Finance and the Secretary of Erdao!
In addition, I will go to the conference and ride with you three thousand steps."

Digesting Emperor Liu's confession carefully, Liu Xi thought for a while and said: "I remember that the imperial court had an agreement with various ministries, and the Han army would not enter some cities!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu glanced at Liu Xi twice, examining him, his eyes seemed to say: Are you such a well-behaved person?Am I the one who keeps the so-called covenant?

However, he still tried his best to "restrain" his words, and Emperor Liu said in a slow tone: "At this time, at that time, the imperial court should keep pace with the times, and it can't live a lifetime with a paper treaty, wouldn't that mean sticking to the handicapped?

What's more, you, as my prince, the king of Han and Jin, and the prime minister of the court, entered Tubo personally, which is already a great grace to them!The ceremonial guard of honor should be in accordance with the imperial system, and the three thousand armored soldiers will be your escort, what can they say! "

Facing Emperor Liu's domineering remarks, Liu Xi reacted calmly. After thinking for a while, he finally bowed to Emperor Liu: "Yes!"

So far, Liu Xi has basically accepted the arrangement to go to Tubo, but the doubts in his heart have deepened instead, and he is inconvenient to ask, and some dare not ask.

However, Emperor Liu seemed to have seen Liu Xi's thoughts, smiled at him, and said: "I like that kid Wenhai very much, and he has grown up now. He has been in a military academy and performed well in the army. You can Officially opened the government to do business.

Regarding his arrangement, I have two thoughts for the time being. One is to go to Nanyang with Liu Yun, Liu Xiao, and Liu Chun, and the other is to go to southern Yunnan. You are his father, help him make a decision! "

Emperor Liu's words seemed to be full of deep meaning. Liu Xi was slightly stunned at first when he heard the words, and after looking at Emperor Liu for a while, he gradually understood.After bowing his head for a long test, his face returned to calm, and he replied: "The current situation in Nanyang is a bit crowded. If your majesty wants to experience Wenhai, let him go to southern Yunnan."
