On May 10, the 13th year of Ganning, the general of the Zuo Shence Army, Wan Baichuan, led his army to capture Zhangbali, an important Uighur town in Xizhou.

On May 16, the 13th year of Ganning, the governor of the Shazhou Governor's Office of the Tang Dynasty, Zhong Wei, led his army to capture Beiting, and the Uighur Khan Pugulin of Xizhou led 20,000 tribes to escape to the Zhungeer Basin in the northwest of Beiting.

On June 1, 13th year of Ganning, the Tang Dynasty, Wanbaichuan led his army to capture Bali Yangji.

Since then, except for Kucha, all the important towns of the Xizhou Uighurs were captured by the Tang army, but the remnants of the Xizhou Uighurs could not be wiped out.

Most of the Uighur nobles in Beiting, Zhangbali and Yangjibali escaped. Although the young and middle-aged tribe suffered heavy losses, they were still a threat to the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.

However, at this time the Tang army had no time to clear out these remnants of Uighur forces. They needed to consolidate the newly occupied land and conquer Kucha.

After the Tang army captured Xizhou, Khotan led 60,000 troops to surround Kucha, but failed to capture Kucha, but instead fought to the point of losing both sides.

Until Xue Atan led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to the city of Kucha.

After learning that the Tang army had captured all the important Khanate towns except Kucha and Pugulin fled to the Junggar Basin, the Kucha Uighurs finally chose to surrender on June 12th.

With the surrender of the Kucha Uighurs, it means that the Western Regions Uighurs, which once dominated the Western Regions, announced their destruction of their country in just two years.

The news came back to Chang'an, which caused a great shock. Even those who were dissatisfied with Li Ye's new policy shut up.

In the thirteenth year of Li Ye's ascendance to the throne, he did not count the rebellion of the internal vassal states, and successively destroyed the three kings of Ganzhou, Nanzhao and Xizhou. It can be said that his reputation has surpassed all the monarchs of all dynasties after the Anshi Rebellion.

Some people have already begun to call the Ganning Prosperity. Although this Prosperity has just begun and its territory is not as good as the Tang Dynasty before the Anshi Rebellion, it has a trend of prosperity.

After Li Ye learned that the Uighurs in Xizhou were destroyed and the Uighurs surrendered in Kucha, he ordered the cabinet to study the issues of the Western Regions.

Finally, consider that all the five prefectures in Hexi were transferred to Longyou Road and the Anxi Protectorate was abolished.

In Xizhou, Yanqi, Kucha, and Khotan Governor's Office, Zhongyun Governor's Office established the Anxi Governor's Office, that is, the Anxi Governor's Office was demoted to the Anxi Governor's Office, with five Governor's Offices under it, with thousands of rivers as the governor's office, and under the jurisdiction of the Left Shence Army;

The Beiting Protectorate was established in Tingzhou, Zhangbali, Yangjibali, Yizhou and other places, with the Tingzhou Governor's Office and the Yizhou Governor's Office. Zhong Wei was the Protectorate, and the Right Shenwei Army was under the jurisdiction.

The Beiting Protectorate and Anxi Protectorate are bounded by Tianshan Mountain.

Liu Kui led the Right Shence Army and the Right Shenji Camp to escort the Kucha Uighur tribe and other prisoners back to Chang'an.

When I returned to Chang'an, it was October of the thirteenth year of Ganning.

However, Chang'an was crowded with people on this day. As the emperor, Li Ye went out of the city to greet him.

Afterwards, Li Ye held a grand prisoner offering ceremony in Tai Chi Palace.

In addition, Li Ye also held a celebration dinner for the meritorious soldiers of the Right Shence Army in the Linde Hall of the Daming Palace.

It can be said that Chang'an City was extremely lively in those days.

On the side of the Kucha Uighurs, important figures such as Pugusu and Puguze remained in Chang'an and appointed idle positions. As for their tribe, they planned to be scattered in Longyou, Guannei and Hedong.

Li Ye basically rewarded the female prisoners brought back by Liu Kui to the meritorious soldiers of the Right Shence Army and the Right Shenji Camp.

Of course, Li Ye also took several people into the harem, including Pu Gulin's concubines, his daughters, and Pu Gusu's daughters.

Li Ye will naturally not miss the exotic style.

Even the two princes, Liu Kui and Zhang Lian, were rewarded by several beautiful women.

With Liu Kui's return, how to arrange Liu Kui has become a problem.

Some people say they want to give him an official position, while others say they have made too much contribution.

Liu Kui was the Protector of Anxi Prefecture. This is the rise from a second-rank official position? That is the second-rank or first-rank official position.

But there are only a few official positions, so you can't give the position of Privy Councilor Liu Kui, right? In this way, the emperor Li Ye, would have to worry.

If you become a title, you can only be the prince.

At present, no one has been granted the title of Prince of the royal family. Except for Zhu Wen, it is a pity that he is dead.

After thinking for a long time, Li Ye decided to let Liu Kui free himself for a while so that everyone would not feel at ease.

After thinking about it, Li Ye added Liu Kui as the Prince's Shaobao and the Minister of the Taipu Temple.

The Prince Shaobao can be said to be a false position, while Taipu Temple is a horse-raising person, and the official war horses of the Tang Dynasty are under the jurisdiction of Taipu Temple.

When someone felt that it was worthless for Liu Kui, Li Ye also issued an imperial edict, and Liu Kui's throne of Qin was hereditary.

This means that even if Liu Kui dies, his eldest son can inherit the throne of Duke of Qin and will not be demoted.

You should know that except for the royal princes, the Tang Dynasty had no such title as hereditary title, and Li Ye set the stage for it.

However, he would control this to avoid too many people with titles and affecting the rule of the court.

Therefore, this last imperial edict is the most important and the most important imperial edict.

Perhaps it was taking advantage of this great victory that Li Ye made a major change in the imperial court officials.

The reason was that King Xue Li Zhirou resigned from Zong Zhengqing because of her age. As for whether it was caused by Li Chengen, an unworthy descendant, he really didn't want to do it anymore. Anyway, Li Ye agreed.

When King Xue Li Zhirou asked to resign from Zong Zhengqing, she had to need a suitable royal prince to serve as the position.

But among the only remaining royal princes now, there are not many princes with high seniority and meeting Li Ye's requirements. In the end, Prince Peng Li Ti was asked to take over as Zong Zhengqing.

This has brought about a series of impacts, and someone has to take over as the Minister of Dali Temple.

So Li Ye took this opportunity to make a major change in the court, allowing some court officials to go to the local area to serve, and then transferred a group of officials from the local area to Beijing to serve.

Among them, Xu Shiren, the former deputy governor of Anxi Dadu Prefecture, was transferred to the position of Minister of War, and King Qin Li Sizhou was transferred to the position of the governor of the inner palace of Guan.

In the end, nearly half of the important officials of the court changed people, and even if some people remained in the center, they changed their positions.

After these things were done, the court had two main tasks, one was the arrangement of the New Year in the 14th year of Qianning, and the other was to send people to the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang to handle the matter.

As for the reason, Li Ye planned to stay in Luoyang, the eastern capital for a while.

This period is tentatively one year or even longer, so everyone in the imperial court has to prepare.

The Ziwei Palace has been repaired. At this time, Li Ye mentioned going to Ziwei Palace, which makes people wonder if he wants to move the capital.

In fact, there is no movement of the capital.

In the second year of Xianqing (657), Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi issued the "Origin of Establishing the Eastern Capital", changing Luoyang Palace to the Eastern Capital, and implementing the two capital system; promoting Ziwei City from a palace to the imperial palace, treating it as an east house, and "style palace residence".

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty was actually a two-capital system. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty's national strength was weak and it was impossible to repair Ziwei City. The successive monarchs of the Tang Dynasty stayed in Chang'an.

Now that things in the Western Regions are tentative, Li Ye should consider things in the east. If he is still in Chang'an, it will definitely not be convenient...

The renovation of Ziwei City happened to be completed, so I happened to stay there for a while and get used to it.

But this is different from Li Ye's inspection of the East before. This time, as long as you move for at least a year, the court will naturally have to prepare things in advance so as not to be too hasty at that time.
Chapter completed!
