"Your Majesty, by all means!"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him.

The father and son have the same philosophy, and they both believe that in the future of opening up a more prosperous road, the influence of the Silk Road on land on the financial wealth of the Tang Dynasty will become weaker and weaker, and even the status of the southeast coastal area will rise steadily, and gradually compete with Guanzhong.

Because the benefits of sea trade are too huge!

In this case, how to maintain the stability of the Western Regions is more important than how to maintain the smooth flow of the Silk Road. Killing can never achieve true peace, this Fang Xuanling knows very well, even if 100,000 troops advance into the Western Regions to destroy Qiuzi, Yanqi and other countries, it is just drinking to quench thirst. In the end, it is the Western Regions, the territory of the Hu people, and it will not take a few years to recuperate and make a comeback!

His Majesty Li Er's face sank, and he glared at Fang Xuanling and said, "Why not?" Qiuzi, Yanqi and other countries dare to despise the power of the Tang Dynasty, if they can't return a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood, who else is willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the next day? ”

Fang Xuanling painstakingly persuaded: "Your Majesty think twice! What the countries of the Western Regions seek is nothing more than interests, and there is no substantive distinction between attaching themselves to the Tang Dynasty or taking refuge in the Turks, it is just who gives more benefits. Originally, the empire's grape and wool policy for the Western Regions still attracted the dependence of most of the Hu tribes in the Western Regions, but it was only because Guo Xiaoke insisted on ignoring the national policy of the imperial court that a large number of goat-raising and grape-growing tribes were disappointed and dissatisfied, and thus were taken advantage of by the Turks to sow discord. According to the old ministers, they only need to send an old and serious general to restart the plan of grape brewing and 'sheep shearing', and they will definitely subdue a large number of people in the Western Regions, and then they can repel the Xiongnu. If it is simply to stop the war by war, I am afraid that it will arouse the hatred of the Hu people in the Western Regions, which will be counterproductive! ”

The "sheep shearing" plan can perfectly subdue the hearts of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, as long as the empire gives a certain commitment while restarting, the Hu people of the Western Regions will definitely re-embrace the Tang Dynasty. Even if there is Guo Xiaoke, but in terms of credibility, between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, most people in the Western Regions will still choose the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling was convinced of this.

The eldest grandson Wuji retorted without waiting for His Majesty Li Er to speak: "What the Fang Xiang said! The Hu tribe in the Western Regions is unruly and untamable, if they can't give a hard blow, how can they know how to be afraid and surrender? Moreover, the imperial court previously established a national policy, and then Guo Xiaoke changed it without authorization, and now he has changed his course, how can such a change of order be trusted by others? ”

Fang Xuanling insisted: "I haven't tried it, how do you know if it can't work?" Even if you really can't do it after trying, why not raise an army to fight again? At present, the center of gravity of the imperial court is all in the east, and the troops and horses are preparing to conquer Goguryeo, and suddenly sending troops to the Western Regions will inevitably lead to the invalidation of all previous arrangements, not to mention the manpower and material resources spent, where can the delay be spent? ”

This sentence can be regarded as speaking to His Majesty Li Er's heart, and his excited and feverish mind instantly sobered up, and he nodded again and again.

The conquest of Goguryeo is imperative and non-negotiable!

Goguryeo has been a difficult bone to gnaw since ancient times, otherwise the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would not have gone all out to conquer and return in vain when the country was at its peak, and even led to the outbreak of smoke in the country, ruining the Great Sui Guozuo.

With the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to conquer Goguryeo, you must naturally go all out and strive to succeed in the first battle, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! At this time, if you use troops against the Western Regions, you will definitely be caught and forbidden to take care of one or the other.

Whether it is east or west, this has to be weighed repeatedly.

His Majesty Li Er couldn't make up his mind for a while......

In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, because of the rebellion of Qiuzi, Yanqi and other countries, Anxi Du protected Guo Xiaoke's death, and the palace was full of very restless atmosphere, everywhere and everywhere. Above the temple, the two bigwigs of the political affairs hall, His Majesty the Emperor's right-hand man Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji launched a rare tearing battle, and they quarreled over whether to suppress violence or be gentle in the Western Regions.

There was a fierce turmoil in the imperial court, and there were many supporters on both sides, each expounding its own reasoning around its own point of view, and no one could convince anyone.

The fundamental reason for such fierce turmoil is not only the snatching of practical interests, but also the accumulation and outbreak of contradictions over the years.

The Guanlong group headed by the eldest grandson Wuji is a staunch main battle faction, because once a large-scale use of troops in the Western Regions, it is inevitable to recruit and transfer generals in Guanzhong, which are the foundation of the Guanlong group. Now the emperor is sparing no effort to suppress the Guanlong group, and the Guanlong group, which is struggling to deal with it, regards this as a good opportunity to break through.

As long as the rebellion in the Western Regions can be quickly quelled, the Guanlong Group's voice will inevitably rise rapidly, and no matter how domineering the emperor is, he can't take the meritorious ministers, right? People are fighting life and death in the front, and you are copying people's hometowns in the back?

That's not how the emperor became......

And the rest of the forces above the court have been suppressed by the Guanlong group on their heads all these years, and finally saw the emperor's firm determination to fight the Guanlong group, how could he be willing to let the Guanlong group re-emerge and take the initiative with the help of the rebellion in the Western Regions?

The conflict of interests above the officialdom is complicated and complicated, and it is actually simple to say simple, if you don't have the wisdom of Zhuge and Sima, then just remember one thing - everything that the opponent is in favor of, then you must oppose it!

*****

Fang Jun turned a deaf ear to the dispute between the court and China.

The so-called seeking his own government in his position, he is now Jing Zhaoyin, and he has a clear combat goal at this stage - to fight the Guanlong Group! Why bother to wade into that muddy water?

As for the re-emergence of the Guanlong Group with the help of sending troops to the Western Regions......

That's impossible.

If His Majesty Li Er really allowed the rise of the Guanlong Group at this time, then he would not be able to sit in the current position of dominating the world. Even if you send troops to the Western Regions, there are Li Ji in the court, and Cheng bites Jin, why do you have to be in command of the general of the Guanlong Group?

"Xianggong, do you think this gift list will be successful?"

Princess Gao Yang sat opposite Fang Jun, looked down and carefully read the list submitted by the steward to send New Year's gifts to each family, and then pushed it in front of Fang Jun on the table with two whitewashed fingers, and asked softly.

"Just whatever, if you're not sure of your idea, let Mei Niang take a look."

Wu Meiniang is the best at dealing with this kind of human relationship, and she will never go wrong.

Princess Gaoyang frowned and said unhappily: "You can't have a snack on things at home?" Being a sesame mung bean is like becoming a Jaefu, and you have to worry about national affairs? ”

Wu Meiniang, who was sitting at the bottom of the seat, pursed her lips and smiled.

Princess Gaoyang glared at Wu Meiniang, threw the list in her hand to Wu Meiniang angrily, and said angrily: "See? Your family Langjun trusts you so much, you can handle this kind of thing yourself in the future, and Hugh will bother me again! ”

The countless names of people, relatives and close relationships, and the number of types of gifts on the gift list, Princess Gaoyang was dizzy for a while, where did she have the patience to deal with this! Anyway, Wu Meiniang has always been responsible for this kind of trivial matter, and as a princess, she doesn't need to worry about being robbed of power by a concubine, so she doesn't bother to care about it at all.

Wu Meiniang didn't shirk it, took it and glanced at it, and said softly: "Your Highness can rest assured." ”

In the eyes of Princess Gaoyang, a messy and troublesome thing can be done in a few minutes in Wu Meiniang's hands......

Where does Fang Jun have the heart to read what list?

He's looking at a beautiful woman......

The snow is fluttering outside the window, and the house is full of spring.

Princess Gao Yang wore a pleated dress with flowers on a blue background today, and a pink colored satin gown on her upper body, her head was full of green silk and pearls, and her beautiful face was as innocent and beautiful as a girl.

Wu Meiniang is another style.

The crimson long skirt has a swaying skirt and a light-colored sweat towel tied around the waist, which makes the waist more slender and slender. For example, Yunqing silk combed an oblique falling horse bun, the crystal jade earlobes are embellished with two pearl studs, a little cinnabar in the center of the eyebrows, delicate face is better than flowers, and the half-ripe charming style flows.

Fang Jun's lustful heart was about to move, licked his lips, and proposed: "Today's Ruixue is fluttering, if you can be in the soup spring and drink grape jade liquid, wouldn't it be better than the heavenly immortals?" ”

Wu Meiniang's eyes flowed, and she seemed to be a little moved.

Princess Gaoyang rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "If you want to go and lead Mei Niang by yourself, why do you want to pull me?" This palace won't ...... with you."

A few days ago, Fang Jun, who was raised, came to sleep with him, and His Royal Highness Gao Yang hurt his self-esteem a little. Needless to say, Fang Jun's dragon is fierce and fierce, Wu Meiniang is also a soldier who has quite combat power, but she is soft and has no power to fight again after a few rounds, which makes Fang Jun laugh at her.

It's a shame......
