Palace.

Li Shimin was watching the folds.

The army marched westward, and now I don't know what it looks like.

If the army can conquer the countries of the Western Regions this time, the prestige of the royal family will surely be victorious.

However, if the Western Regions cannot be conquered this time, it will also bring damage to the reputation of the royal family, and some people who are ready to move will jump out.

"Damn! Zheng's! Li Shimin punched the table with a loud bang.

Since the army marched westward, the Zheng clan in Xingyang has become active again, and these days it is even more trying to win people around, which makes Li Shimin very angry.

Do they really think that the royal family has no soldiers to use?

Since knowing that Li Jiancheng may not be dead, Li Shimin has hated the Zheng family.

Now, the Zheng family, who had been silent for nine years, began to move again.

At the beginning, the five surnames and seven hopes put the future on Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng even married the daughter of the five surnames and seven hopes.

In their eyes, Li Shimin is a usurper for power, of course, in fact, Li Shimin did rob Li Jiancheng of the throne.

"Da Da Da ......"

Outside, footsteps sounded one after another, and Zhao Hao walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, news has come from the West." Zhao Hao said excitedly.

"Oh? Hurry up. Li Shimin was overjoyed.

Hurriedly took the letter from Zhao Hao's hand and read it.

"Hahaha......" Li Shimin laughed happily and said: "God help me, God help me, it's great, it's great, it's really good!" ”

"Western Regions, Dingye!" Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly.

When Gaochang waited for the city to be broken and had become a county in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was very excited.

Quite excited.

"From now on, I don't have to worry about it." Li Shimin said: "Keep an eye on the Zheng family, I want to see what the hell the Zheng family wants to do this time!" ”

"Whoa!"

Zhao Hao answered, and hurriedly went out to arrange bad people.

The bad guy has developed very well now, and in the future, the deputy marshal of the bad guy will also be a very good minister, thinking about Zhao Hao is very excited.

……

Western regions.

Outside the Gaochang King City, a team is moving forward rapidly.

Finally, they came to the outside of the royal city.

Li Tai had already taken people and was waiting at the city gate.

Seeing the team approaching, he hurriedly greeted him.

At this time, the team also stopped.

"Chen Zhong Kui, I have seen His Highness." Zhong Kui stepped down from his horse and bowed slightly.

"Uncle Jiujiang is very polite, I've been waiting here for a long time." Li Tai smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, don't get out of the car, let's enter the city first." ”

"In this case, thank you to the green sparrow." Princess Jiujiang said with a slight smile.

In fact, she is not familiar with Li Shimin's children.

Although she is a princess, she is really unfamiliar, after all, Li Shimin's Xuanwumen incident has happened, and the relationship with Li Yuan has become tense.

The convoy slowly entered the city.

In the middle of the royal palace, a large hall was set up as a council hall.

After Zhong Kui's family was settled, Li Tai and Zhong Kui discussed in the political hall.

"Uncle, have you figured out how to govern the Western Regions?" Li Tai asked with a faint smile.

"There's already a belly case." Zhong Kui picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently, along the way, he was thinking about how to govern the Western Regions.

When the Western Regions were defeated, counties were established, and he was in charge of the military power and politics of the Western Regions, it can be said that he was a feudal official, and he had to be cautious.

"I believe in your talent, and I also believe that you can sit in the Western Regions." Li Tai thought for a while and said, "However, there are some things I still have to tell you. ”

"The Western Regions are not as good as the Central Plains, where there are many ethnic groups, the climate is very different from the Central Plains, and the people here speak different languages and have different cultures, so it is also a little difficult to govern."

"However, the Western Regions are extremely important to my Tang Dynasty, and in the future, my Tang Army will go west from the Western Regions to conquer the Western countries. You're your own, and I won't hide it from you. ”

"What I need in Datang is not only the Western Regions, but also the Western countries, Datang wants to become a real Heavenly Empire, and the places where the sun and moon shine are the territory of Datang."

When Zhong Kui heard this, he was shocked.

He never expected that Li Tai's ambition would be so big.

That's a lot of manpower and material resources.

"Your Highness, this ...... This...... There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Zhong Kui took a deep breath and said, "Although the country is prosperous, the warlike will die." ”

"Hahaha......" Li Tai laughed when he heard this.

"Uncle doesn't know, I think that if Qin hadn't conquered the Seven Kingdoms and pacified Lingnan, there would be such a vast land as my Tang Dynasty now." Li Tai said: "People can't always be trapped in one place, there must be a person to open up." Although Qin died, Great Qin did not die in battle, but died in the counterattack of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and died in the faint monarch and ministers. ”

"My Tang Dynasty is strong, powerful, virtuous and wise, and such a thing will definitely not happen." Li Tai smiled and said, "Of course, if you want to conquer the West, at least in the next few decades, what Datang needs now is stability." ”

"Therefore, the management of the Western Regions is particularly important, the merchants of the Western Regions are in the desert and oasis, but in the Western Regions, especially in the Gaochang Kingdom, there are many special products."

"For example, this grape, such as this walnut, as well as wolfberry, white stacked seeds, cumin, fennel beans, these are all needed by the Central Plains, and even the West needs these things, which are also specialties of the Western Regions." Li Tai took out the original booklet from his arms and handed it to Zhong Kui.

said: "If you can do these things well, the output will increase, and in the future, the Western Regions will become a rich place, a place where the people live and work in peace and contentment." ”

"Of course, when the Western Regions develops, it must be able to prevent and control desertification and protect the environment.

Now in the Western Regions, the environment is still good.

Lop Nur is still very large.

Poplar trees are also found everywhere.

There are also many oases.

"When you manage the Western Regions, you not only have to manage all kinds of things in the Western Regions, but you also have to pay attention to collecting news about unexpected countries in the Western Regions." Li Tai instructed: "Although, I am a little verbose today, but for the sake of Datang, my uncle has to be more careful." ”

"Whoa!" Zhong Kui said respectfully.

Although everyone thinks that Li Tai is a man who hangs his son, Zhong Kui understands that Wei Wangtai is not as simple as he seems.

After chatting with Zhong Kui for a while, Li Tai left.

Zhong Kui opened the booklet and read it.

The more I watched, the more frightened I became, and the more I watched, the more frightened I became.

After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's really a pity, if Wei Wangtai is the king, it will be Ming Jun, Datang Bixing." ”

It's a pity that Wei Wangtai can only be Wei Wangtai.

He will never become a prince.

Zhong Kui quickly couldn't help frowning slightly, Wei Wangtai is so good, it's actually not a good thing for Datang.
