Autumn is high and cool, blue sky and white clouds, and a few goshawks soar leisurely.

In the carriage, Li You lay on the sofa seat, closed his eyes and recuperated, but his mind was not idle.

Li You returned to Chang'an this time to help Li Chengqian solve the problems that arose in the construction of Chang'an, and then persuade Li Chengqian to cheer up. However, he is now a little bottomless in his heart.

Regarding Li Chengqian's changes, Li You was really a little annoyed. In the past few years, he has wholeheartedly supported Li Chengqian, defeated Li Tai, restrained Li Ke, and cleared the obstacles for Li Chengqian to ascend to the crown prince. Who would have thought that Li Chengqian kept making mistakes because of his incompetence, and finally pointed the finger at Li You.

"The mud can't hold up the wall." Such words suddenly appeared in Li You's mind.

Li You was taken aback, he suddenly thought of a question, what if Li Chengqian just couldn't do it?

If Li Chengqian just can't help himself, what will happen to him?

Li You didn't dare to think about it, and he had a headache when he thought about it.

There are many unstable factors in Li Chengqian's personality, and according to the current state, he is afraid that Li Shimin will become more and more disappointed, and eventually have the idea of abolishing his crown prince.

The consequence is that the eldest grandson Wuji and others will desperately protect Li Chengqian, and even if Li You is low-key, unless he dies, he will be considered a threat to Li Chengqian, and he wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.

If Li Shimin wants to abolish Li Chengqian's crown prince, I am afraid that he will still be forced to follow the old path of rebellion in history. Then, for their own interests, the eldest grandson Wuji and others will also support Li Zhi to ascend to the throne, and Li You is still the first target of their attack.

Historically, after Li Ke ascended the throne of Li Zhi, he no longer posed a threat to the eldest grandson Wuji and others, but he was still eliminated by the eldest grandson Wuji and others for the crime of treason.

The more Li You thought about it, the more worried he became, and he shouted, "Stop." ”

The convoy stopped, Li You got out of the carriage, walked to the grass on the side of the road alone, let the autumn wind blow his face, and looked at the endless field in a daze.

"Wrong, all wrong." Li You finally understood that no matter how much he supported Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian's prestige could not surpass him, and his merits were high, and he Li You would always be a threat to Li Chengqian, which was a fact that could not be changed.

The eldest grandson Wuji and others will never let the imperial power fall into the hands of outsiders, Li You will always be an outsider even if he takes out his heart for them.

It's a no-brainer.

Li You wants to survive, there are only two ways, one is to go away, and he has to be unknown, otherwise even if he escapes overseas, he will not escape the fate of being hunted down.

Zheng He went to the West, objectively, in order to expand the political influence of the Ming Dynasty and strengthen ties with overseas. It has promoted economic and cultural exchanges and friendly exchanges between China and Asian and African countries, and is a feat in the history of world navigation more than half a century before European navigators sailed to the Americas and India.

However, there are a few sentences in "The Biography of Zheng He", which says: "Chengzu suspects that Emperor Hui died overseas and wants to trace him", that is, Ming Chengzu suspected that Emperor Jianwen ran overseas and sent Zheng He to explore and hunt down Emperor Jianwen.

The second way, the second way......

Seize power!

Li You is really reluctant to embark on this path.

It's too hard, it's too tiring. Also, the process of walking this path will even be full of blood.

It's not something a foodie wants to do.

But......

Li You couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he decided to postpone his return to Chang'an.

He wrote a letter, saying that Xue Yantuo still had some things to deal with and could not return to Chang'an for the time being.

The convoy embarked on the journey back to Seongju.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." Li You's convoy was marching, and a fast horse was galloping from the direction of Shengzhou.

The White Tiger stepped forward, inquired about the situation, and led the messenger to Li You's carriage.

Li You lay in the carriage and lazily took the letter, he looked at it for a while, and suddenly became energetic.

He wrote a few letters quickly, and soon the messengers took Li You's handwritten letter and galloped away in different directions.

Li You himself also stepped on the war horse and turned to the direction of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Chang'an City, the palace of the king of Qi.

In the northwest corner of the Qi Palace, the builder has a tower, which is incompatible with the surrounding roofs, and a row of pigeon nests is built on it, and from time to time pigeons fly in and out.

This is the flying pigeon communication terminal of the Qi Palace.

"Poof", a pigeon flew in, and a female soldier on duty reached out to grab the pigeon and removed the letter tied to it from the pigeon's leg.

The magpie received a message from the flying pigeon and saw that a piece of paper more than an inch wide was densely packed with symbols, and there were actually more than 100 sets of characters. When she saw the handwriting on it, she was excited.

The magpie descended from the tower and ran to Take's quarters.

"Fourth princess, the prince has sent a letter." The magpie said excitedly.

"Bring it to me." Wu happily took the note.

Wu took out the special code book, and after translating it, she immediately sent someone to call Wang Xuance, director of the Northwest Frontier Affairs Bureau.

Wang Xuance finished reading Li You's letter and said, "The minister will go and prepare the relevant materials." ”

Wu immediately entered the palace and asked to see Li Shimin.

Liangyi Palace, study.

Wang De said: "Your Majesty, please forgive your sin, Princess Qi Wu asks to see." ”

Whether Wu is the princess of Qi or the minister of commerce, she has no right to directly ask to see Li Shimin. The formal way is to report to Shangshu Province in advance, and then Shangshu Province will ask Zhongshu Province for instructions, and Zhongshu Province will ask Li Shimin for instructions before making arrangements.

Wu asked Wang De to contact them directly through the prison guards this time, so Wang Decai asked for forgiveness.

Li Shimin said without hesitation: "Let her come." ”

Soon after, Wu came in.

"Son-in-law, see father." Wu Xingli said.

"No courtesy." Li Shimin said with a smile that he had a good impression of Wu.

"Father, His Royal Highness King Qi has sent a letter, it is a flying pigeon to pass the book." Wu said.

Wang De took the letter from her hand and handed it to Li Shimin.

After reading the letter, Li Shimin immediately stood up, and he walked quickly to the map hanging on the wall, and gestured with his hand on the map while looking at it.

He turned his head and said to Wu: "If there is another letter from Li You, you will send it directly to the palace." Alright, you go down first. Wu Xingli retreated.

Li Shimin said: "Quickly pass on Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji, Li Jing, and Wang Xuance to meet him. ”

Wang De went out to give an urgent order.

Soon after, the ministers came. Li Shimin said excitedly: "Everyone, Li You has good news, the king of Persia wants to cede Angot Province to the Tang Dynasty. ”

At the height of the Persian Empire, there were 20 provinces, and Angart Province was located in southern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, covering an area of 550,000 square kilometers and a current population of 750,000.

At present, the six provinces in the northwestern part of the Persian Empire have been occupied by the Great Food Empire, and the rest are occupied by Hamid's father, Isiqi III and Hamid. In order to block the attack of the Great Food Empire in the northeast, Hamid was willing to cede Angt Province, which was adjacent to the capital of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, to the Tang Dynasty, so that he could not only not fight on both sides, but also rely on the Tang Dynasty to get supplies.

In his letter, Hamid said that the province of Angot was currently in his hands and hoped that the Tang Dynasty would send troops to take it over as soon as possible.

It is the wish of every emperor to expand the territory and open up the territory, and Li Shimin is even more so, now that the Tang Dynasty is strong, he has long wanted to use troops abroad, but he has not yet chosen a good target.

Li Shimin said: "Wang Xuance, please introduce the relevant situation." ”
