Although his descendants were able to unify the entire kingdom from time to time, according to the inheritance system of the Franks, each generation of kings was divided equally after their death. More than a hundred years ago, after the death of Dagbel I, his son was able to inherit a unified kingdom again. The power of the feudal lord weakened the royal power, and the power of the kingdom gradually fell into the hands of the palace minister Charles Matt, who was in charge of the court affairs. The Frank king was also called the "lazy king".

These palace ministers tried to control the power of the entire kingdom and allowed the son of a palace minister to ascend to the throne by being adopted by the king. Until less than a hundred years ago, the palace minister Piping II of Ostracia defeated the rulers of the entire kingdom and became the only palace minister in the country, paving the way for the rise of the Piping family and the Carolingian dynasty, but at that time Piping did not dare to usurp the power.

After Pippin's death forty years ago, there was an internal struggle for power in China, and Charlie Matt won decades ago. Matt, known for his cruelty, faced internal and external troubles. There were always different tribes in the kingdom trying to overthrow his rule.

Less than thirty years ago, Charles (Charlie Matt) defeated the Arabs in the Battle of Poitiers and prevented their further expansion into Western Europe, and he was considered the savior of the Catholic faith in the Western world.

He then forced Burgundy to surrender, and the following year he conquered the Friesians. He then defeated the Friesians, Saxons, Bavarians and Aramanis to the east, and these victories further consolidated his rule. In addition, he supported the missionary work of Saint-Bonnifer in these areas.

Two or three years later, after King Frank's death, Charlie Matt did not establish a new king, and he became the only ruler of the empire.

But he did not have time to usurp the throne so that he died of edema a few years later. According to Germanic tradition, Matt distributed the empire to his two sons, Pippin III and Kaloman before his death.

In the subsequent struggle, Pippin III won, and his brother and the last Melovin king of the Frankish kingdom were forced to enter the monastery. A few years ago, he ascended the throne according to the Old Testament ritual, and he came to Paris to crown him by the archbishop of the Pope Saint Zaga.

Afterwards, Pope Stephen III oiled him again and confirmed his throne with anointing and the orthodox nature of his sons Charles and Carloman.

Later, Pippin agreed to send Ravenna to the Pope (Pepin gave the land), and the Pope recognized the Carolingian dynasty as the king of the Frankish kingdom.

That is, from about ten years ago, the Pope began to ask Pipin to keep his promise, and Pipin fought against the Lombards twice and gave all the land he won to the Pope, so that Pipin actually became the founder of the Pope.

In this era of the Tang Dynasty, Piping happened to have just died, and he left a kingdom that flourished politically and economically for his sons.

These things are basically all the things Li Yi could remember at this time about the European continent. When he was in Taiyuan Prefecture, he had already written all these things into letters and was about to give Li Yu a good look.

Although he definitely couldn't tell everyone under his command how he knew these information, they knew a little bit of this information that was definitely a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the difference between the Tang Dynasty and other dynasties is that it is very open to foreigners. For example, this Chang'an City, which can be called the absolute center of the Asian continent, even before Li Yan came, there are rules to receive foreigners.

Just on the east side of Zhuque Street, Chang'an City, there are areas where envoys from various countries such as the Xiaobolu Embassy live.

At the same time, the prime minister's mansion and dignitaries were mostly concentrated in Pingkangfang, which was also the largest entertainment district in the Tang Dynasty and the red light district. Missions from the south entered from Mingde Gate, missions from the west entered from Kaiyuan Gate, and missions from the east entered from Chunming Gate.

He concentrated in Pingkangfang to rest and waited for the summons of Emperor Tang. The Honglu was responsible for the reception. Foreign merchants needed to go to the west market to buy and sell goods, while domestic merchants docked from Guangyuntan to unload goods, and entered the east market from Chunmingmen to buy and sell.

These processes have become well-known to the people of the Tang Dynasty. Although Li Qing did not have much contact with these foreigners, if Li Qing said that these things were found out little by little over the years, they would be able to believe half of them, right?

Moreover, before Li Yan arrived in the Tang Dynasty, after the Kaiyuan Prosperity, the Tang Dynasty had a wide country, cultural confidence, and stability in the country, and had frequent official and folk exchanges with neighboring countries.

All kinds of bourbon products poured into Middle Earth, and the items in Middle Earth were also spread to the outside world and were loved by people of all countries.

The exchange of military equipment was special during this period. On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty actively introduced foreign military equipment to improve the combat effectiveness of its own army, and on the other hand, it strictly prohibited its own military equipment from flowing into neighboring countries to maintain its technological advantages.

Tang Dynasty law stipulates that if a private armour is one leader and three crossbows are flown for two thousand miles, if a military equipment is transported to foreign countries or privately made military equipment, it is even more dangerous to behead him. At the same time, the arsenal order is in charge of the world's military equipment, distinguish the names and numbers for national use, and strive to control the military resources in the hands of the court.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, there were still a large number of private weapons transactions among the people, especially the emperors in the border areas of the Western Regions, and the civilian military instruments with nomadic peoples became more frequent.

In fact, this is the reason why Japan was able to obtain the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty so easily. However, after the incident in Japan, Li Na did not control the weapons and armor of the Tang Dynasty. After all, there was no fish when the water was clear. He still understood this principle, and Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others also knew it.

Another point is that the reason why these Hu tribes want to make their weapons sharper is not to defeat the Tang Dynasty or whatever, but to compete for territory with the tribes around them.

In Li Qing's opinion, such behavior should definitely be encouraged by the Tang Dynasty.

So after the Japanese affairs were resolved, Li Neng did not learn from it. They had to let the surrounding small tribes make a little noise on the periphery, but there was a standard for you to make a noise, that is, no matter who it is, it would definitely not work to make a big bigger.

For example, in Nanzhao, he was willing to practice with Tubo and Li Yan, so he simply asked them to practice. As long as it was not a scene where the country broke and died, Li Yan would definitely not care about it.

Of course, Li Neng knew that in this process, Ge Luofeng or his son who was about to ascend the throne would not do anything.
