Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Datang, Chang'an, Datang On July 26, [-] A.D., His Majesty Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, left Chang'an City, went to Mount Tai to inspect, and held a ceremony of enshrining Zen.

At this moment, Li Chengqian in Liaodong was also discussing this matter with Li Shiji and others.

"My father will consecrate Zen in Mount Tai on August 15st. At that time, we will make a preliminary decision in Liaodong, so I will also perform a sacrifice ceremony on behalf of my father. At that time, the [-] soldiers we are temporarily located near Pyongyang must gather Get up." Li Chengqian said seriously.

"Your Majesty's order is for our army to temporarily assist in the stabilization of Silla and restore operations in Silla. It will be of great use to these soldiers." Li Shiji frowned slightly.

He was not opposed to holding the ceremony. The ritual of offering sacrifices to heaven was a very important matter, and Li Shiji would not object, but Li Shiji felt that there was no need to gather so many soldiers.

"At least the 15 main elite soldiers must be assembled. Datang sent 30 troops this time. Although some troops have begun to turn around, the rest of the troops are enough to assist. Currently on the territory of Silla, We have no enemies."

"The reason why so many soldiers are left is just to clean up some bandits and bandits by the way."

"But the remaining soldiers are enough, not to mention that we will train these Goguryeo soldiers to become members of the Ministry of Security." Li Chengqian said.

"Okay, no problem, just treat it as a month of training, and help the people in Pyongyang with work." Li Shiji thought about it and did not refuse.

How these soldiers should be used is up to him, and what Li Chengqian said makes sense.

So he didn't refuse.

"Then don't bother General Li with his official duties. I'm going to chat with the soldiers." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Li Shiji naturally bid farewell to Li Chengqian. After Li Chengqian left, Li Shiji shook his head. In fact, His Highness the Crown Prince could go back, but so far His Highness the Crown Prince has not left.

It is probably the same as going to Youzhou before, and it may take a year or even more than half a year before returning to Chang'an this time.

I don't know what's so scary about Chang'an.

All the generals responsible for attacking Goguryeo this time have not returned to Chang'an for the time being, and they estimate that they will return to Chang'an in succession.

However, Li Shiji does have a lot of things to deal with at the moment. First of all, it is about Gao Jianwu. I don't know if His Majesty or His Highness did it on purpose or if he has forgotten him. Anyway, he has not said how to deal with Gao Jianwu for the time being.

But Li Shiji thought about it, and finally sent Gao Jianwu directly to Chang'an, including Gao Jianwu's family and concubines.

But for the rest of the Goguryeo nobles, Li Shiji did not do this, but directly imitated His Highness and came to a public trial meeting in Pyongyang.

Let the people of Pyongyang convict them, and then conduct trials, complain and so on.

Anyone who commits a lot of evil will be executed. If the conduct of others is considered to be quite satisfactory, then these people can survive and retain a certain amount of property.

As for Liu Zhao and others, according to His Highness's order, they will also go to Chang'an later, and then reward them.

However, Liu Zhao and the others obviously did not expect that Li Shiji would judge the nobles of Goguryeo in this way, but it has to be said that this move can be said to put these original nobles of Goguryeo directly on the opposite side of all the original commoners of Goguryeo.

Not to mention those who were sentenced to death because of their many crimes, their families may have hatred, but most of their family's property was confiscated, allowing them to keep a very small part of their property and live as ordinary people.

They probably don't have the strength to take revenge anymore. The Tang Dynasty in the future is not Goguryeo, they don't have that foundation at all.

The point is that these nobles were judged by the public trial assembly, that is to say, if they keep a low profile in the future, it will be fine, if not, they will not find anyone to support them at all.

Liu Zhao and others have already seen it very clearly. For the current Datang, the people are the foundation and foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and these people are nothing if they do not have the foundation of the people.

This year, a large number of people in Silla and Liaoning have delayed farming because of the war, but it doesn't matter, Datang has issued the latest announcement.

Not only hired a large number of people to reclaim the fields, but also gave them high monthly money, and also sold grain at the price of grain in the mainland of Datang.

At the beginning, all the people in Silla or Liaoning who hadn’t had time to farm were very nervous, but when a series of policies came down in the Tang Dynasty, especially when each household hired at least one commoner, they either farmed the land, built roads, or It is to help Datang transport supplies from various ports.

All in all, there is a lot of work that needs to be done by them, and the continuous exploration of minerals in Gaimu City and other places requires a lot of manpower.

Therefore, the common people have earned the monthly money, and after having the monthly money, they can buy enough food to easily feed a family, so these people naturally don't worry about it.

Datang was already very proficient in using these methods. Li Shiji had done a lot of similar work in Youzhou, especially just to open up the officialdom required a lot of manpower.

Anyway, as long as there are enough people, Datang can afford to hire them now.So many people did not farm this year, and if they were not arranged to work, there would be food distribution and assistance.

That being the case, it might as well hire them directly to work.Tuntian, opening roads are serious jobs, and there are still a lot of cities that need to be repaired.

As for the city walls, Li Shiji hesitated for a long time, and finally repaired the blown-up city walls. Although Datang has the means to destroy the city, the city walls are not only for protecting the war.

During the daily period, whether it is to prevent wild animals or some bandits, it also has a certain effect, especially the walls of some small cities are more important.

So these city walls were also repaired directly.

Speaking of which, there is still a lot of work in Silla and Liaodong.

In this way, the busy Liaoning and Silla time passed quickly, until August 15st was getting closer and closer, and the [-] elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had been located near Pyongyang City had also begun to arrange the venue.

In addition, all the senior generals currently located in Liaoning and Xinluo also handed over the work in their hands to their adjutants, and then rushed to the vicinity of Liaodong City.

Similarly, the leaders of all the security forces in various parts of the Tang Dynasty also followed Li Shimin's order and asked them to prepare to hold similar sacrificial activities on August [-]st, requiring the security forces in the city, the garrisons near the city, and the people in the city to come. Make time as much as possible.

Because His Majesty is going to conduct Mount Tai Fengchan and perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven with the world.
