President of Datang [Transmigration Book]

Li Chu has been suffering from a headache recently, especially when he saw Tubo Zanpu's third request to join the Hongmeng United Empire, his headache was even more painful.

The Hongmeng United Empire was established ten years ago, and the Shatuo at that time was still incomparable to the Tang Dynasty. However, in just ten years, what Li Chu regrets most now is probably letting Li Tan go to the Shatuo.

Today's Shatuo not only has a larger territory than Datang, but also is ahead of Datang in all aspects of system, economy, personnel training, military affairs, and technology.

And Sha Tuo can have today, Li Tan and his school have contributed a lot.

However, Li Chu also had to admit that he couldn't completely trust Li Tan like Zhu Xieli did. In Zhu Xieli's dictionary, it seemed that he never doubted that Li Tan would seek his position, and basically responded to Li Tan's requests.

Therefore, Li Chu was envious, but also calmly knew that even if Li Tan stayed in Datang, it might just suppress his talent.

It is precisely because of this that when the United Empire was established, Datang was the main body, but in order to take into account Li Tan's face, it was not directly called Tang United Empire, but took another name.

Hongmeng, the first opening of Hongmeng, the beginning of all things.

The establishment of the United Empire symbolized that both Datang and Shatuo had entered a new era, and Li Chu was quite satisfied with the name.

Of course, it is more because the combination of the names of Shatuo and Datang is not a good combination, Tangtuo?Shatang?Or Hongmeng.

It's just that ten years ago, the empire had only two members, and ten years later, the empire still had only two members.

After the establishment of the United Empire that year, Shatuo and Datang cooperated closely in all aspects from economy to technology. Therefore, although the most advanced technology is not in Datang, Datang has not been left far behind, but has formed its own. economic and cultural system.

The benefits of the alliance between the two empires are obvious. After the initial wait-and-see, neighboring countries also began to apply to join the United Empire.

The first one to apply was the Wa country, but was rejected by Li Tan. Li Tan's reason was: the people in this country are changeable, wolves are ambitious, and tigers are easy to breed.

The second applicant was from Goguryeo, and Li Tan also rejected it. His reasons became: Goguryeo people tend to be arrogant and inferior, like to steal other people's achievements, and their character is despicable.

The third applicant was Bohai State. Li Tan's reason for denial was even more straightforward: during the Anshi Rebellion, Bohai State not only watched from the sidelines as a vassal state, but even sent people to sneak into the Central Plains for a piece of the pie. It is conspiracy.

Li Chu couldn't help but look at these three times. The United Empire first implemented the voting system. After new members apply to join, the existing members will vote. It is enough to cast more than half of the votes, and vice versa. no.

Now there are two members of the empire, and Li Tan has the same rights in Shatuo as Zhu Xieli, so he can fully represent Shatuo without asking Zhu Xieli.

Of course, Li Chu knows without asking, that Zhu Xieli must support Li Tan unconditionally.

Then the problem came, there were two parties, one of them expressed opposition, and the other party agreed, it was useless, and there was no more than half of them.

Later, these three countries... all became the territory of Datang.

Well, Li Tan made a special trip here, brought a ship that was much more advanced than Datang, and it was still a warship, and then urged Li Chu to jointly send troops to directly occupy these three small countries.

Li Chu was still very strange at the time, wouldn't it be enough to agree with these three countries to join the United Empire?Why do we have to mobilize troops?

Are the results different?

The answer Li Tan gave at the time was: It’s not the same. If it is conquered, it will be the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and everything must be done according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.Now do you dare to let Shatuo follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty?

In fact, to put it bluntly, there is a difference between sovereignty and non-sovereignty. Of course, the meaning of sovereignty is not well understood these days, so Li Tan explained more.

After Li Chu understood, he agreed to the proposal of joint troops.

Then... Li Tan provided part of the warships and navy.

When he saw that Shatuo had a water army, Li Chu was shocked: "Is Shatuo's water already enough to fight water battles?"

That's inland, what are you doing with the navy?

Li Tan said at the time: "Prepare for a rainy day."

Li Chu thought for a long time but couldn't think of what he was planning, but Li Tan's warships and navy were really fierce.

Waguo and Goguryeo basically have no room for resistance.

Of course, not mentioning the ships and soldiers, they were all behind in terms of weapons. Li Tan's soldiers even had guns in their hands, while the soldiers of those two countries were still holding cold weapons.

For the first time, the civil and military officials accompanying Datang felt the importance of advanced weapons. At the same time, they decided once again that if they could not completely defeat Sha Tuo, then they should not be enemies with Sha Tuo, at least not before Sha Tuo showed hostility. Tuo clashed.

Anyway, during Zhu Xieli's administration, they had confidence.

After these three countries were included in Datang's territory, Li Tan naturally got the benefits he wanted - further reducing the tariffs between Shatuo and Datang.

I have to admit that although Shatuo looks rich now, it is still not as rich as Datang in terms of species richness and various natural resources.

Now many of his research raw materials depend on Datang, and every time he buys these raw materials, the tariffs he pays make him feel distressed.

Although it seems that he spent a lot of money now, just to reduce tariffs, he lost money in a short period of time.

But in the long run, it is still very cost-effective.

Because of the lessons learned from these three small countries, Li Chu wondered if Li Tan had been refusing to let Tubo join, did he also have thoughts about Tubo?

It's just that Tubo obviously knew the fate of the country that was rejected before, so this time the application came with soldiers displayed at the border.

Li Chu managed to let Datang breathe a sigh of relief in the past ten years, and gradually took back the rights of Jimi Prefecture, and learned a little bit from Sha Tuo to centralize the rights.

Now is the critical moment, and he doesn't want to conflict with Tubo at all.

He thought for a while and directly recruited Honglu Temple Secretary over here and asked, "Have Sha Tuo and Huang ever replied?"

Sha Tuo and Huang refer to Li Tan. He probably felt that the national power was enough before. Zhu Xieli directly became the emperor and fulfilled his promise. He is the emperor, and Li Tan is also the emperor, so Sha Tuo suddenly appeared Two emperors.

There is also a distinction between emperors. The distinction within Shatuo is to call Zhu Xieli His Majesty, and Li Tan to call him a saint.

Anyway, Li Tan sits in the academy, has trained countless students for Shatuo and Datang over the years, and has researched many things. Calling him a saint is definitely not a compliment.

But when they arrived in other countries, everyone thought about it and simply called them by themselves. Zhu Xieli was the Star Emperor, and Li Tan became the Emperor of Peace.

The Minister of Honglu Temple said blankly: "The news just came, but Shatuo said that the two emperors are not in the country, so they can only convey the meaning of the saint, but cannot make a decision."

Li Chu was slightly surprised: "What? They're not here? Where did they go?"

The Minister of Honglu Temple said: "The Abbasid dynasty submitted an application to Shatuo to join the United Empire. The two emperors went to investigate whether the Abbasid dynasty was eligible to join the empire on a whim."

Li Chu: ...

This is just an excuse to hang out, right?

He figured out why Honglu Siqing had no expression on his face, it's really...he didn't know what to do to make a good expression.

Li Chu was a little unbalanced for a while, why can't he work so hard and work so hard, can't compare with these two who run out to play at every turn?

After being indignant for a while, Li Chu said: "Send another letter and ask He Huang if he will come back for this year's grand ceremony."

The Minister of Honglu Temple looked at Li Chu speechlessly for a long while, thinking that this question is simply useless, when will Hehuang not come back to participate in the grand ceremony?

Of course, the Ministry of Rites didn't really want him to come back.

In the beginning, when He Huang was not yet an emperor, he was greeted with the etiquette of welcoming a prince when he came back, at most it was a little more grand.

As a result, when they ascended the throne, they were on an equal footing with their saints in terms of status.

When they come back, they can't use the original etiquette. Even if Li Tan doesn't mind, they can't be said to be ignorant of etiquette, especially since they and Sha Tuo are brothers.

So every time Li Tan came back, the Ministry of Rites worked conscientiously, as if she was about to shed a layer of skin, for fear that if something was not done well, the saint and the emperor would be unhappy.

Over time, although unwritten rules have been formed, the Ministry of Rites has to spend a lot of money to welcome Li Tan every time.

Although Li Tan would also bring all kinds of things, usually more than they spent, but those things were for the household department.

The Ministry of Rites has suffered so much and still can't get anything, it's really aggrieved.

While imagining the wrinkled face of Minister of Rites, Minister Honglusi was preparing to write a letter to Shatuo.

Hey, it would be great when Datang's transmission can be as fast as Shatuo's. I heard... Shatuo is still building some tracks.

New things always make people curious.

It's just that the Minister of Honglu Temple hadn't issued the letter of credence yet, a permanent attendant from the palace over there came over and told him: there's no need to write it.

The minister of Honglu Temple was bewildered: "Ah?"

The expression on the attendant's face was indescribable: "Shatuo is fighting with the Abbasid dynasty."

Minister of Honghe Temple:? ? ? ? ?

The Minister of Honglu Temple was full of question marks, and Li Chu in the palace was also full of question marks.

When he received the news from the Ministry of War, he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

Li Chu was confused in his heart, but on the surface he asked calmly: "But the Abbasid dynasty collided with those two?"

Think about Shatuo's grievances and grievances with the Abbasid Dynasty over the years. Of course, the most important thing is that the Abbasid Dynasty has suffered a lot of losses both openly and secretly, and has never taken advantage of Li Tan.

Therefore, if they chose to give Li Tan and Zhu Xieli a blow when they passed by, he wouldn't be very surprised if they made fun of these two.

But if this is the case, then the king of the Abbasid dynasty was too mentally retarded to be beaten unjustly.

Just when Li Chu guessed the reason, the reason was sent over.

When he saw the reason, he didn't know how to describe Li Tan for a moment.

Shameless?cunning?

He had heard of many reasons to go to war, but he had never heard of anyone going to war with a country for pets!

Yes, pets.

The reason Li Tan gave was that his pet seagull was flying in the sky and was shot dead, but the Abbasid dynasty refused to hand over the murderer.

Li Tan thinks this is contempt for him, which cannot be tolerated.

Li Chu put the news on the imperial case, thought for a while and decided to do something that he wanted to do for a long time, but because of his status, it has been difficult to do: dump the pot!

So he directly asked the Minister of Honglu Temple to write a letter of credence to Tubo Zanpu: Go to Emperor Shatuo, you can go to either of them, anyway, they disagree, and it has nothing to do with me.
