The eldest grandson Wuji didn't expect his nephew to ask such a question, but he was not easy to answer this question. 35xs

If it is said that it is the identity of the uncle, this is the imperial court, and it is the most sacred place in the empire, how can he interrupt the speech of the imperial prince here in a capacity other than that of a monarch and a minister.

This is disrespectful, not to mention that it is still in front of the Supreme of the Empire, it is a great crime of disrespect!

It is still a great crime of disrespect to say that he is in the capacity of the imperial Situ to interrupt the prince's speech in front of the emperor.

Therefore, no matter what the eldest grandson Wuji says, Li Chengqian can take the opportunity to make trouble and let him know who is the king.

The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer!

"That's it! The auxiliary machine is also an unintentional mistake, Cheng Qian should not be caught to death, the auxiliary machine is not only my Datang Situ, but also your uncle. ”

"You too, Cheng Qian's words haven't been finished yet, how can you interrupt here, it's not too late to listen to him." Li Er made peace with the two.

"No!" Li Er has spoken, and Li Chengqian naturally will not fight against the eldest grandson Wuji.

"That's it! Cheng Qian, you go on! Li Er said.

"We agreed to the Western Turks' marriage proposal, but we asked the Western Turks to give me the Tang Dynasty the five countries of Qiuzi, Khotan, Shule, Zhu Jupo, and Lingling."

"In this way, it will not only weaken the strength of the Western Turks, but also be more conducive to the comfort of the Western Turks by our Tang Dynasty. Flash"

"At the same time, it can also ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road in the Western Regions and consolidate Datang's border defense in the northwest, which is very important for Datang." Li Chengqian said.

As long as the Western Turks were willing to cede the territories of these five vassal states, it would be nothing to agree to the Western Turks' request for peace.

Anyway, with these five vassal states in hand, they can build castles and military towns on this land.

As for whether the Western Turks just verbally agreed, but returned behind their backs, or did they obey the yang and the yin?

This has nothing to do with Li Chengqian, as long as you promise to cede the subject country, Datang will immediately send a large army to enter the territory of these five countries.

There is no need to worry at all that the Western Turks do not keep their promises, or even violate their promises.

What is needed is a reason to be able to drive the army in a fair and bright way.

Li Er thought about it, and naturally understood the importance of these five countries to the Tang Dynasty, as long as he obtained the territory of these five countries, it was equivalent to controlling the transportation arteries leading to the Western Regions.

"Cheng Qian's idea is very good, I think this idea is very good! It not only solves the problem of swords and soldiers, but also does not have to worry that the Western Turks will become bigger. ”

"I can also combine the opinions of both of you, and according to the prince's suggestion, send someone to reply to the Western Turkic envoy, and convey the meaning of my Tang Dynasty to the Western Turkic Khan."

"If you want to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty and make peace with the Tang Dynasty, you must cede the five kingdoms of Qiuzi, Khotan, Zhu Jupo, Shule and Lingling." Li Er said.

Li Er was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others did not have any opinions on this.

"Father! We can build military towns in Qiuci, Khotan, Shule and Yanqi to ensure the security of the Silk Road, and we can name them the Four Towns of Anxi. Li Chengqian continued.

"This is a good suggestion, with these four towns in Anxi, you don't have to worry about the problem of the northwest frontier." Li Er nodded and said.

"Your Highness! What if the Western Turkic Yibi Shekui Khan pretended to agree to our request to cede land for employment and marry my Tang princess? Chu Suiliang asked.

Chu Suiliang felt that the Western Turks would not agree to cede the land at all, or even deceive, so it was better to refuse directly.

Why bother to talk more about this, and put on a princess title for nothing, as if you don't need money to get a princess title.

Don't steal chickens and rice at that time, the territories of these five countries have not been obtained, and they let the Western Turks earn a princess for no reason.

No matter how you think about it, you feel a loss! If you don't lose anything by rejecting the peace of the Western Turks, why bother.

"As long as the Western Turkic Yibi Shekui Khan agrees to cede these five kingdoms to my Datang, I, Datang, am not afraid that the other party will repent, or deceive, and I am afraid that my Datang will not be able to take these five countries."

"All we want is a promise from the Western Turks! A justifiable reason, even if the Western Turks repent! Li Chengqian said.

Everyone understands the meaning of Li Chengqian's words, as long as the Western Turks agree to cede the land for employment, when the time comes, it doesn't matter whether the Western Turks agree or not.

If they don't give it, won't we take it ourselves? In terms of power, who is Datang afraid of!

"Cheng Qian is right! As long as the Western Turkic Yibi Shekui Khan dares to agree to cede the land as an appointment, my Datang will be able to hold the five kingdoms of Qiuci and Khotan in my hands. ”

"There is no need to worry about the Western Turks' repentance, and besides, the matter of peace is not completely without the slightest benefit."

"With the current strength of my Datang, I don't dare to go back on it, not to mention that the Western Turks are still supported by the Tang Dynasty, and without the Tang Dynasty, he can sit firmly on the throne of the Khan."

"If you don't know each other, find an obedient person to replace him, and he is not the only one who can become a khan." Li Er said that he very much agreed with Li Chengqian's proposition.

Everyone saw that Li Er had spoken, so they didn't say anything more about this matter, anyway, no matter how much they said, it would have no effect if Li Er didn't adopt it.

On the contrary, it will attract Li Er's unhappiness, so why bother to find yourself unhappy!

"What Your Majesty said is that His Highness's plan is very good!" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"What about you? Do you think the prince's words are appropriate? Li Er didn't have the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and looked at the others.

The tone that seemed to be asking revealed something else.

"What Situ said is extremely true!" Chu Suiliang, Fang Xuanling and others echoed one after another.

"That's it! That's it for today! Everyone is scattered! Wang Yuan sent someone to the post house to inform the envoys of the Western Turks. Li Er said, and instructed Wang Yuan to do something.

"Wait for the resignation!" Li Chengqian and the others saluted and withdrew.

Li Er sent someone to the post house to convey his meaning to the Western Turkic envoys, asking him to return to the Western Turks to tell the Yibi Shekui Khan about the attitude of the Tang Dynasty.

The Western Turkic envoys immediately left Chang'an on the same day and returned to the Western Turks to report to their khans, and whether they agreed to marry the so-called Tang princess with the Five Kingdoms as a dowry depended on what their khans said.

In March of the twentieth year of Zhenguan, Yibi Shekui Khan agreed to cede the Five Kingdoms as a dowry to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty court ordered the Anxi capital to protect Guo Xiaoke and receive the territories of the five countries ceded by the Western Turks.

On the first day of the third month of the 20th year of Zhenguan, there was a solar eclipse in the sky, and the Qin Tianjian thought that it was ominous and that a disaster would befall him.

On the sixth day of the first month, Li Er issued an edict to abolish the Liaozhou Governor's Mansion and the establishment of Yanzhou.
