After Han Mengtong's matter was over, Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was still sorry for the situation of the Ma and Han families, after all, if he hadn't made a move, although Ma Han would have split, it was estimated that it would take a long time, and it would not be so miserable.

On this day, Yuan Xi helped Liu to take a walk in the back garden, since Yuan Xi became the king, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan also released one by one, in addition to the filial piety of the three sons, Liu's whole person is more and more in good spirits, which makes Yuan Xi very happy, no matter when, filial piety must not be forgotten, whether it is a commoner, or an emperor, it is the same, this is the foundation of people, but also the way of heaven since ancient times.

"Queen Mother, I heard that you feel that the palace is too depressing, and you are ready to go out for a walk, and you are ready to build a palace in Qingzhou, near the sea, where the spring is warm and the summer is cool, and it is very comfortable" Yuan Xi said softly.

Liu immediately showed a smile on his face, but he did shake his head and said: "Wang Er has this heart, the queen mother is already very happy, but the world is not yet unified, you can't spend like this, Wang Er must continue to work hard, and you can't live up to the will of the first king, the wishes of the ancestors of the Yuan family."

"I understand," Yuan Xi nodded.

"Wang'er, you came to see the queen mother today, is there anything else" Liu said softly.

"That's the case, Queen Mother, although Xiliang was pacified this time, the Ma family and the Han family have suffered heavy losses, and there is not one out of ten people left, speaking of which, they are also related to our Yuan family, and I want to make up for it a little, Ma Chao won't say it, he is the commander of the Seven Legions of Dayan, Yan Lianghou, but the Han family is much worse, so Er absolutely canonized Han Ying, the only surviving son of the Han family, as Bei Anbo, which can be regarded as a guarantee for his future" Yuan Xi said softly.

Hearing this, Liu sighed a little and said: "Mengtong is also a poor person, when she came to visit her a few days ago, she kowtowed and broke her head, and burst into tears. ”

Liu knew that Yuan Xilai told her that she was worried that she was still angry with Han Mengtong, but in fact, she had disappeared, Han Mengtong was originally the daughter-in-law she liked very much, if it weren't for Xiliang's matter, she would never have fallen into the cold palace.

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "The queen mother is merciful, and she will order it to go down later."

"Okay," Liu smiled and nodded.

After the two mothers and sons walked some distance again, a guard ran over, knelt down on one knee and said, "King Qiqi, ask to see each other."

"Wang'er, it's important to get down to business, you can go quickly," Liu waved his hand.

"No" Yuan Xi gave a salute and left with Zheng Chun.

When Yuan Xi arrived at the Huagai Palace, he looked at Li Ru who was waiting inside and said with a smile: "Military advisor, what's the matter with finding Lone?"

"King, this is Jiao Shuai just sent back from Xiliangliu Zhongcheng with a royal pigeon, the former chariot division of the Western Regions, the rear chariot division, Pu class, and the envoys of the five kingdoms of Weisu, ask to worship the king" Li Ru said solemnly.

"The Western Regions Countries" Yuan Xi's eyes froze, and he said unexpectedly: "Dayan has just recovered Xiliang, and the Western Regions countries have come to worship."

"Great King, it has been a long time since the envoys of the Five Kingdoms arrived in Xiliang, and they have also met Ma Teng and Han Sui," Li Ru explained.

"What are they doing?" asked Yuan Xi curiously.

"Great King, these five countries are all small countries in the Western Regions, during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions Protectorate, to govern the Western Regions, in addition to guarding the territory and land, but also used to coordinate the contradictions and disputes between the countries in the Western Regions, to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road, but since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate is in the same form, so the Wusun Kingdom of the Western Regions, relying on the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, the strong army, constantly blackmailing the five countries, and even planning to annex them, so the five countries immediately carried generous gifts and rushed to Liuzhong City, where the Western Regions Protectorate was originally located, but Ma Teng and Han Sui were too busy to take care of themselves, how can I go on an expedition to Wusun, but since my Dayan recovered Xiliang, after the Five Kingdoms understood the terrible strength of my Dayan, they immediately asked to see Jiao Shuai, hoping that the King would love the people of the Western Regions, re-establish the Western Regions Protectorate, deter Wusun, and manage the hundred countries" Li Ru handed the documents of the Five Kingdoms to Zheng Chun on the side.

After Yuan Xi took it, after carefully reading them one by one, he said solemnly: "Right Xiang, what do you think?" ”

"The minister thinks that he can re-set the Western Regions Protectorate to deter Wusun and other powerful countries in the Western Regions, but he can't easily send troops to conquer it, and at present, he still focuses on dominating the world," Li Rudao said.

"In this case, it is estimated that it will be difficult to deter Wusun and other powerful countries," Yuan Xi frowned.

"The king doesn't have to worry, Wusun and other countries in the Western Regions have been completely scared by my Han Dynasty back then, from the perspective of the minister, as long as an envoy is sent over, Wusun will never dare to move in a year or two" Li Ru said confidently.

Yuan Xi slowly stood up, and after prying the bamboo slip a few times, he suddenly smiled and said: "Right Minister, the policy of the Western Regions Protectorate in this matter must be changed."

"The king said clearly," Li Ru said curiously.

"The Western Regions Protectorate can be set up, but instead of interfering now, tell the Five Kingdoms that Dayan is willing to provide them with weapons, armor, grain and grass, and even train their soldiers and generals, but they must use the same money, treasures, grain and grass in exchange, tell them that only they can save the country, although Dayan is the suzerain, it is not good to meddle in the military and politics of various countries" Yuan Xi smiled slightly, and the whole person looked a little sinister.

"What the king means is to encourage them to fight, resist Wusun with the five countries, and after they fight to the death with each other, they will send troops to destroy them in one fell swoop" Li Ru immediately reacted.

"Yes, Gu has long said that there are only interests between countries, there is no affection, and it is absolutely impossible for Gu to take the lives of Dayan soldiers to help them protect their families and defend the country," Yuan Xi said firmly.

"But the minister is worried that even so, these five countries may not be able to bear it," Li Ru worried.

"Don't worry, at that time, we are coming forward, in short, to get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, understand?" Yuan Xidao.

"Chen understands," Li Ru nodded and smiled.

"At present, my Dayan does not have the ability to unify the countries of the Western Regions, this is not a problem of troops, food and grass, but a problem of customs, language, roads, etc., you must remember that for the countries of the Western Regions, we must continue to provoke their internal relations, and my Dayan will mediate and obtain benefits from it, and I will squeeze as much as I want" Yuan Xi said expectantly, isn't this how the country in the future made war money and became a superpower?

"Wang Yingming, in this way, my Dayan will be stronger than ever," Li Ru said excitedly.

"Don't worry, also, Dayan wants to learn from Banchao, enter a large-scale cultural invasion, spread the vast culture of my Dayan, make their nobles proud of my Dayan, and make them feel from the bottom of their hearts that their country will always be immeasurably far behind my Dayan, so that it will be much easier to recover in the future" Yuan Xi commanded again.

"Large-scale cultural invasion" Li Ru muttered a sentence, and immediately admired: "The wisdom of the king is inferior to heaven and man"

"Haha, you immediately go to Zuo Xiang, Zipei, and Kong Ming to carefully discuss the formation plan of the Western Regions Protectorate, as well as the selection issue, and after three days, immediately come and report to Gu" Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"No!"

When Li Ru left, Yuan Xi muttered with some excitement: "Now Dayan is the world's number one superpower, and some of them are playing, hahaha. ”

A huge laugh echoed through the spacious canopy hall.
