"This..."

Cui Zhiyuan didn't expect the saint to mention this matter, which made him a little surprised, and he was also a little caught off guard, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

It seems that Cui Aiqing doesn't know how to answer, since she doesn't know, let's go back and think about it. I don't want to set up an enemy for Datang because of a moment of soft-heartedness.

Similarly, the Tang Dynasty does not need a vassal state of a white-eyed wolf. Li Ye's tone was a little stiff.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's explanation... Before Cui Zhiyuan could finish speaking, Li Ye had already walked towards the back door of Zichen Palace, and Cui Zhiyuan hurriedly chased after him, "Your Majesty... ”

However, before Cui Zhiyuan chased a few steps, Li Jian had already stopped in front of Cui Zhiyuan and stretched out his hand to block the other party.

Seeing that he failed to reach his goal this time, Cui Zhiyuan was a little anxious. But looking at the saint who was leaving in a hurry, Cui Zhiyuan could only watch dryly.

"Cui Zhengzhi, please, this commander will send you out!"

After Li Ye left, Li Jian said with a smile at Cui Zhiyuan, and stretched out his hand, pointing to the gate of Zichen Palace.

。。。。。。

"This father-in-law, who is Your Majesty receiving?"

Outside the Xuanzheng Palace, Wang Jian looked around, took out a money bag from his arms, handed it to a eunuch next to him, and asked in a low voice.

The Tsing Yi eunuch secretly looked around, quietly put away the money bag, and replied in a low voice, "Hui Jungong, Your Majesty is receiving the Silla Mission, and the one waiting over there is the deputy envoy of the Silla Mission." ”

"I see!" Wang Jian nodded, glanced at Park Jinghui, no wonder he felt a little weird, it turned out to be the Silla Mission.

Wang Jian also had some doubts about the saint's transfer of himself back from Taiyuan, but since it was the saint's will, he still came back honestly.

While he was waiting for the face saint, Li Jian took Cui Zhiyuan out of the Zichen Hall and came to the place where the ministers outside the Xuanzheng Hall were waiting for the face saint.

As soon as the two came out, Park Jinghui hurriedly greeted him, and asked Cui Zhiyuan, who looked different, "Cui Zhengzhi, how is it?" The Tang Emperor... What does the Holy One say? ”

Cui Zhiyuan shook his head, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”

Cui Zhiyuan didn't say it, Park Jinghui was a little anxious, but the other party just didn't say it.

Looking at the Silla envoy who looked a little lonely, Wang Jian looked at Li Jian, "Commander Li, what's wrong with this Silla envoy?" ”

Li Jian smiled, "I was sent away by the saint with an excuse, so I'm a little disappointed." General Wang, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, so come in with me. ”

Although the two are acquaintances, in this palace, they still have to avoid it. Li Jian is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he directly obeys the orders of the saint, and the Jinyi guard under his command is the eye of the saint; And Wang Jian belongs to a relative, his daughter is a concubine, and she is also a general of the forbidden army.

If the relationship between the two is too close, the headache will be the saint.

As he walked, Wang Jian asked, "Is it important for the Silla mission to ask for a meeting at this time?" ”

Li Jian glanced at the other party and smiled, "If it's something else, I really can't tell you, but you just returned to Chang'an, and you don't know the situation yet, otherwise you can know what's going on by asking casually."

It has been so long since the Shangyuan Festival, and the purpose of the Silla mission to ask for a meeting again at this time is also very simple, to ask me for the Tang Dynasty. Silla was in turmoil, rebellions continued, and the Silla royal family couldn't hold on, so they wanted the imperial court to send troops to help them quell the rebellion.

However, at present, the imperial court does not have this idea, to be precise, the saint does not have this idea. ”

Wang Jian was a little puzzled, and when he saw that the other party only said half of it, he was also very curious, "Then the Holy Lord summoned me back this time, why did you call me back?" ”

"I can't say that, but it's a good thing." After Li Jian finished speaking, he never spoke to Wang Jian again.

In this palace, you still have to pay attention, say too much, and when it reaches the ears of the saint, he, the commander of the brocade guard, will come to an end.

Wang Jian also knew that Li Jian's position was special, but he didn't mean to continue to ask, so he could only come to Zichen Hall with curiosity.

When Wang Jian arrived, Li Ye was still writing, but he was practicing calligraphy, rather than continuing to be a copyist or something.

is different from Cui Zhiyuan's treatment, as soon as Wang Jian came, Li Jian reported to Li Ye as a saint, "Qi Sheng, Wang Jian, the prince of Jiuquan County." ”

Hearing Li Jian's report, Li Ye raised his head, glanced at Wang Jian, and showed a smile, "Wang Aiqing has worked hard all the way?" ”

Wang Jian's expression was a little flustered, and he hurriedly saluted, "The minister is afraid, the minister obeys the holy order, and there is no such thing as hard work." His Majesty has a lot of opportunities every day, and he needs to deal with cumbersome government affairs, which is more difficult than his ministers. ”

"Okay, let's get even, there is something serious about calling you back to Beijing, not to listen to what you say." Saying that, Li Ye threw the brush in his hand and hooked his finger at Wang Jian, "Wang Aiqing, come with me." ”

Wang Jian was a little puzzled, but he still followed the saint to the Zichen Palace, and then asked the eunuch to open the curtain in front of a wall, and what greeted everyone's eyes was a huge map.

There are several copies of such a map in the palace, in addition to the Privy Council, the military department, the household department, and the official department, but it is not as accurate as in the palace.

This map is actually very close to the world map of later generations, except that it does not have a large area and does not mark as many countries. Of course, it is not so accurate, but it can also present the situation of Datang and the surrounding area more objectively in front of everyone.

On this map, all the prefectures within the Tang Dynasty were marked, among which Andong Duhufu, Huainan, Zhenjun, and several feudal towns in Fujian that were not actually controlled by the imperial court were also marked.

In fact, looking at it this way, at present, only the original Lulong, Huainan, Zhenjunjun and Fujian four towns in the territory of the Tang Dynasty are not actually controlled by the imperial court, and the others are actually controlled by the imperial court.

I think when Li Ye entered Chang'an, 'Qiu Gongyu occupied Qinzhou, Zhang Jun occupied Jingyuan, Yang Shouliang occupied Suining, Dongfang Kui occupied Yanyan, Han Gong occupied Lingwu, Li Sigong occupied Xia Sui, Wang Chongrong occupied Hezhong, Li Keyong occupied Hedong, Meng Fangli occupied Xing, Wei, Ci Sanzhou, Zhu Wen occupied Bianzhou, Huazhou and other places, Qin Zongquan according to Xu and Cai Zhuzhou, Shi Pu according to Xu and Si, Zhu Xuan according to Yun, Qi, Cao, Pu, Wang Jingwu according to Zi, Qing, Gao Biao according to Huainan Bazhou, Qin Yan according to Xuan, She, Qian Biao according to eastern Zhejiang, Chen Jingxuan occupies Xichuan', and dozens of feudal towns are lined up.

More than ten years have passed, the most powerful Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, and Qin Zongquan have all been cut off, and there are only four remaining feudal towns in the world.

It can be said that after the Anshi Rebellion, what more than ten emperors of the Tang Dynasty failed to accomplish is very likely to be completed in the hands of Li Ye.

Wang Jian had also seen the map in front of him, so he wasn't too surprised. However, his gaze lingered for a moment in the lower left corner of the map, where there was a marker that read "Zhennan Governor's Mansion".

Zhennan Governor's Mansion?

When did Datang have this governor's mansion?

It's not that Datang once didn't have it, after all, the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate has already handed over this name, but now there is no such Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Moreover, the Jing Navy Festival Envoy was also changed to the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate.

What does that mean?
