Jie'er is the official name set by Tubo when it ruled other small countries.
Although nominally, the small countries affiliated with Tubo maintained their independent nature, Tubo set up the official position of Jie'er to supervise their national affairs.
Just as the Tang Dynasty wanted to appoint their Zanpu, Tubo also appointed kings to the small countries attached to it. The Gaoshen (appointment certificate) of the king of the small country was given a golden color, which was called Jin Gaoshen.
The Jie'er who was appointed by Tubo, most people in the Tang Dynasty called him Jiedushi, was awarded a silver medal.
Although the status of Gao Shen of the Tubo Jiedushi was lower than that of Jin Gao Shen of the kings of other small countries, these kings must report to their subordinates.
This is also the reason why Tubo was able to exert effective control over its political power in its surrounding areas, including among the tribes within their borders.
Compared with the Tang Dynasty, its system lacked the benevolent rule of Confucianism, but had a touch of barbarian tyranny. However, it allowed the Tubo regime to have a greater influence and firmly control the surrounding small countries.
It would not be like the Tang Dynasty in Liaodong, Yunzhong, Anxi and other places, where rebellions would occur from time to time.
And at this point, Princess Wencheng knew better than anyone what Jie'er meant.
Now that Li Hong has proposed it, it will be difficult for Princess Wencheng not to be afraid if she recognizes Li Hongjie'er's identity and accepts his supervision.
Tubo will truly lose its degree of freedom and will be like the small country controlled by Tubo. It will never be independent again and will probably be slowly swallowed up.
But looking at Li Hong's meaning, it is obvious that you have sealed Pei Xingjian and others. I, a self-proclaimed emperor of the Tang Dynasty, should also supervise your national affairs, just like you supervise other people's national affairs.
Princess Wencheng didn't say anything but shook her head, but since Tubo had started this matter, Li Hong's request was not too much.
But the matter was so important that no one, let alone her, would dare to comply with Li Hong's request, even with Mangsong Mangzan, Garzandro and others present.
Seeing Li Hong's half-smiling behavior, Princess Wencheng was even more angry, but at this moment, someone took advantage of her, and she didn't know how to refute.
After thinking for a while, he had no choice but to delay: "The Jie'er matter is of great importance. Not only do we need to discuss it, but you, Li Hong, may also have to sue the Tang Dynasty before you can bring this matter to the Tubo court for discussion. Bar?"
"You still need to discuss? Do I need your consent to supervise the country's affairs at this time? If it is so troublesome, I might as well abolish Mansong Mangzan and take the position of Zanpu myself. I am here It took Tubo three to five years, but I don't believe that I can't deal with these noisy tribes!" Li Hong looked at Princess Wencheng in surprise and wanted to delay the discussion.
If you talk, discuss and then agree, then I am too weak and incompetent at this point.
"Are you a Zanpu? You first ask me whether I agree or not! Li Hong, don't think that just because you are in the Holy City of Chen Bing, you can be lawless in Tubo. If you push me into a hurry, I don't care if I fight you to the death! What a big deal. Even if some more Tubo people die, you, Li Hong, do you think you can leave Tubo safely?" Princess Wencheng was anxious.
Destroying Zampu, this little devil really dares to think about it, but it is not impossible. With his vigorous and vigorous methods since childhood, he might really be able to dethrone Mangsong Mangzan if he gets anxious, and then establish himself as Zamp.
"This matter needs to be discussed by Zan Pu, the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and others before a decision can be made. But the premise is that you need to come up with a lawsuit from the Tang Dynasty." Wen Cheng looked at Li Hong who was careless and unformed.
But the cold light in those bright eyes made people feel chilly in their hearts, making them have to re-examine what he said.
"Okay, no problem, let's go, I'll go over with you to discuss it. Forget it, no need, your ministers are all here anyway, Ashinu, you go call them over and tell them that my aunt wants to ask for something from them. Let's discuss things together." Someone really regarded himself as an outsider and said it as a matter of course.
They want to discuss the matter of his supervision of the country, but he still goes with him, so how do you ask them to discuss it
Princess Wencheng naturally would not agree to his proposal. Without even looking at him, she stood up and walked towards the door. Only halfway through did she realize that her original intention of coming here was not to let him vacate the palace? How come we ended up negotiating terms with him!
Thinking of this, Princess Wencheng stood at the door and glanced at the sun in the sky. Her vision went dark and she almost fainted.
In the court hall in Chang'an City early in the morning, the courtiers had discussed for more than eight hundred times whether to confer Li Hong the title of Tubo Festival Son.
But so far, no consensus has been reached.
Among the ministers, the officials of the Zhongshu Provincial Department are having the most difficult time at this moment. Now they feel like pancakes being put on the pot, being turned over and over, slapped and grilled. It is so uncomfortable.
Some ministers suggested that His Highness the Crown Prince should not be granted the title Tubo Festival on the grounds that there had never been such a precedent since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Some people think that His Royal Highness should not be granted other official positions on the grounds that His Highness the Crown Prince currently holds the posts of Minister of Household Affairs, Governor of the Jingzhao Prefecture, and Chief Protector of the Anxi Prefecture.
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness should not be stationed at the border all year round. Instead, he should be recalled immediately to learn the art of governing the country and ensuring peace in the court.
Of course, some of them raised their hands in favor of conferring the title of Jie'er to His Royal Highness Prince Li Hong, because Jie'er's rights would allow the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty to be in a period of peace to the greatest extent possible.
Li Zhi looked at the different opinions in the court with a dark face and remained silent for a long time.
Is Jie'er equal to Jieduzhi? Li Zhi was thinking about this word in his mind. He couldn't figure it out. Could Jiedushi be able to check and balance Tubo
The Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty originated from the Jiedushi Governor since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which means temperance and dispatching.
At this time, the Governor of Chijie had not yet evolved and developed to the peak of his power. Now it was just a title of Governor of the Governor, not a permanent official position.
Therefore, even Li Zhi was wondering how much restraint a small military governor who had never been included in the formal official system could exert on Tubo.
But looking at Li Hong's words and vows, it seems that as long as he adds this element, he will be able to form effective control over Tibet.
Seeing that the ministers were still noisy, Li Zhi coughed twice, and after the ministers calmed down, he slowly said: "The prince is now in the capital of Tubo. Naturally, he knows this better than I and you." As for the binding force of the position on Tubo, I believe that Zhongshu Sheng can draft a decree to appoint the prince as the Tubo Jiezi, along with the official positions of Pei Xingjian, Dai Zhide and others. "
"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter is absolutely unacceptable. If this is the first of its kind, what should we do if the Chief Protector of the Yunzhong Protectorate all submits a request to be appointed to the post of Jie'er?"
"This is just an example, and it won't happen in the future." Li Zhi glanced at Li Yiyan, who was opposed. He had just been restored to his official position as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and now he was starting to mess around again.
Li Yiyan looked at the other people, especially Pei Yan from Zhongshu Province, Cen Changqian from his sect, and others were speechless. Finally, he sighed helplessly and swallowed his words.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Li Zhi was walking back and forth in the imperial garden, holding a letter from Princess Wencheng in his hand, which naturally asked him not to appoint Li Hong.
Li Zhi, who was walking back and forth, couldn't help but think of the two or three times when Li Hong was in Chang'an a few years ago, after he traveled with the queen, he ordered him to supervise the country.
It seems that during his period of supervising the country, he handled all the government affairs in the court very smoothly, and he could resolve everything big or small easily.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh up to the sky. As his body became weaker and weaker every year, the feeling of being unable to do his job became more and more obvious.
Sometimes I really wish that I could give the Zen position to Li Hong and become a leisurely emperor.
Just when Li Zhi was alone in the garden, depressed and depressed, with nowhere to vent, someone started his autocratic career in the Potala Palace.
Datang's petition has not yet reached Tubo. Not only does Li Hong not have the will of the Ming Palace, but Princess Wencheng has also not waited for Li Zhi's reply. The two are now at odds with each other to see who Li Zhi will support.
Li Hong was naturally full of confidence in how his father regarded his request. He believed that, if nothing unexpected happened, he would arrive in Tubo after applying for his official position during the Tubo Festival in half a month.
Princess Wencheng was worried. She also knew that as a member of the royal clan, if she fought with others in front of Li Zhi, she might have a slight chance of winning, but if she fought with this little devil, the chance of winning would probably be less than 10%. .
After all, from the time this little devil was born to now, everything he does has the secret support of his father and mother.
As soon as Wen Cheng walked to the entrance of the palace, he heard that annoying voice scolding Mansong Mangzan and Garzandro.
Galzhanzhuo and other Tibetan officials had been imprisoned in the Potala Palace by Li Hong for more than four months. No matter how these officials requested, Li Hong would not let them out.
"In your name, Zampu, and in my name, the Tubo Festival, I give an order to their leader that within one year, the last place of any tribe will be their permanent pasture. It cannot be changed. If the two tribes are on the same pasture, they will be merged into one pasture." Li Hong is still sitting on the chair that symbolizes Tubo Zanpu, while Mangsong Mangzan and Garzandro, Then sit on the left and right sides.
When Princess Wencheng came in, the two of them were stunned to see Li Hong handling government affairs for them as a matter of course.
"Then what if the grassland occupied by the tribe does not have abundant water and grass in the coming year? Aren't we going to have to fight for it?" Mansong Manzan's intriguing eyes turned around, and he looked at each other with Garzandro, and asked slowly .
