The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Chengqian nervously, for fear that the emperor's nephew would have a dislike with him because of this. 35xs

"My cousin-in-law is really warm-hearted, what does my uncle think about this, does he agree? Still disagree? Li Chengqian asked.

He would definitely not allow Tubo to bring in troops to intervene in the internal problems of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't want to lure wolves into the house.

If the eldest grandson Wuji dares to agree, then don't blame him for being unkind.

"Naturally, the old minister will never agree to this matter, even if there are disloyal people in my Tang Dynasty, there are loyal people who will eradicate disloyalty for Your Majesty."

"Why do you need to pretend to be in the hands of the barbarian Fanbang, this is undoubtedly a plot with the tiger, but it is just to set himself on fire, so the minister will definitely not agree." The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Even if there was a riot in Datang, it was also Datang's own internal problem, and it had its own Datang army to quell the rebellion.

There is no need for the Tubo to be so enthusiastic, and luring the Tubo army to quell the rebellion is undoubtedly luring the wolf into the house, and when the time comes, who knows if they are really here to help counterinsurgency, or if they have another purpose.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

Don't look at the apparent nephew-uncle relationship between Tubo and Datang, Songtsen Gampo and Li Chengqian are cousin-in-law and brother-in-law.

Once you turn your face, who still knows whom, it is an enemy who is not in the same sky, who is related to you.

On this issue, the eldest grandson Wuji can still distinguish clearly.

This letter to the eldest grandson Wuji is just a stone-throwing to ask for directions, to test the attitude of the Tang Dynasty. 35xs

At the same time, it also provoked the relationship between Li Chengqian and the eldest grandson Wuji, once Li Chengqian mistakenly thought that the eldest grandson Wuji and Tubo had secret correspondence and bad intentions.

The Tang Emperor and the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty would become enemies, and for Tubo, this would only be good and not bad.

"What my uncle said is very true! That's what I mean, it's just that my uncle is going to reply to Songtsen Gampo. Li Chengqian said.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and said, "The old minister will naturally write back to Songtsen Gampo and refuse his proposals and requests. ”

"Refusal must be refused, but you can't lose the dignity of Datang, and you can't destroy the relationship between Datang and Tubo." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian has just ascended the throne, and he has not yet fully sat on the throne, and now is not the time to turn his face with Tibet.

To put it simply, Li Chengqian does not want to lose his inner son and does not want to lose face.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Lao Chen will not do anything that will damage the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely not strain the relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. "The eldest grandson Wuji is confident.

As a political master, the eldest grandson Wuji knows how to euphemistically reject Songtsen Gampo, which will not lose his lizi and can take care of the face of both parties.

"With my uncle's words, I am relieved! My uncle is not a minister left to me by the first emperor, and with a capable minister like my uncle to assist me, I can sit back and relax! Li Chengqian said. 35xs

"The old minister is willing to swear allegiance to Your Majesty! With this body, he will do his last strength for Datang. The eldest grandson Wuji said.

After talking about this matter, Li Chengqian and the eldest grandson Wuji talked about it for a while, and the eldest grandson Wuji got up and said goodbye and left.

After the eldest grandson Wuji returned, he immediately replied to Songtsen Gampo, declined Songtsen Gampo's request with euphemistic words, and sent someone to send it to Tubo quickly.

Li Chengqian didn't know what the eldest grandson Wuji had written, and he didn't ask, he didn't want to know what he had written.

……

When it was time for lunch, the palace maid brought Li Chengqian's meal and placed it in front of him.

Li Chengqian looked at the food on the table, but he had no appetite at all, eating and eating all of them, there was nothing new, he was already tired of eating crookedly.

Although stir-fried dishes appeared as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, they were not popular in the Tang Dynasty and became popular in the Song Dynasty.

And there are many vegetables and fruits that have not yet been introduced to Datang from abroad, and if you want to eat a scrambled egg with tomatoes, you can't do it at all.

Because there are only eggs without tomatoes, and there are only eggs without tomatoes, you can't make tomato scrambled eggs at all.

Alas! It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

No scrambled eggs with tomatoes, no problem frying eggs.

"Everyone, but the meal is not to your taste?" Wang Quan saw Li Chengqian holding chopsticks in his hand, and he stepped forward and asked after not moving for a long time.

"Withdraw all of this, inform the catering bureau to fry a few eggs for me, boil some white cut meat, and really dip it in soy sauce to eat." Li Chengqian put down his chopsticks and said.

"No!" Wang Quan received the order, and immediately beckoned the palace maid to remove the dishes on the table in front of Li Chengqian, and then asked someone to notify the Catering Bureau, and according to Li Chengqian's request, make the food that His Majesty the Emperor wanted.

The imperial chefs naturally did not dare to slack off, and soon re-made the dishes according to Li Chengqian's request, and the palace maid brought them to Li Chengqian.

While eating lunch, Li Chengqian thought about the direction of future development.

First of all, how should the country increase grain production, in addition to hybrid rice, we should also grow more other edible crops, only the grain production is enough.

In the future, natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods will be able to sustain the country.

It is also necessary to vigorously develop the economy and raise the national level, but it is far from enough to rely solely on banks and newspapers to obtain wealth income.

It is necessary to increase foreign trade and encourage more people to do business, so as to better drive the economic development of Datang.

If you want to increase foreign trade, you must control the entire Hexi Corridor to the death, so that the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is inevitable in the future.

In addition to commercial trade to the north, it is also possible to develop to the south, conducting maritime trade through coastal cities.

Through the Maritime Silk Road, trade with other overseas countries, and transport the abundant things of the Tang Dynasty to other overseas countries to sell.

Then, new varieties or goods are introduced from other countries, such as potatoes, tomatoes, etc.

Not only that, but you can also open banks in other countries overseas.

Therefore, it is necessary for the research institute to allocate some talents to specialize in shipbuilding technology, and only if the shipbuilding technology is strong enough can we build powerful ships.

When the time comes, it will not be a problem for the ship to be strong and the guns will be strong, and it will not be a problem to colonize overseas.

In addition to economic issues, there are also external issues.

Don't look at the calm of the Tang Dynasty now, it won't be long before the Tang Dynasty will face the matter of re-attacking Goguryeo, and the problem that Tubo in the southwest will also take the opportunity to expand westward.

This is related to the future development of Datang, so we must pay enough attention to it.

Don't look at the calm in the Tang Dynasty now, but all the way to the west, especially in the Western Regions, there are still many small countries that are unwilling to submit to the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Turks are jumping up and down.

Now the country is peaceful, but the Western Regions is a depression, small-scale battles continue, if you want to completely control the Western Regions, you must first deal with the Western Turks.
