The eldest grandson Wuji came, which made Li Xiu quite surprised, and he came to the front hall in person at the moment, but when the eldest grandson Wuji, who was drinking tea, saw him, he immediately stood up and smiled: "Brother Li, I will give you congratulations first!" ”

"Oh? I don't know what to do? Li Xiu was also a little surprised when he heard this, the eldest grandson Wuji is a busy man, even busier than Li Shimin, so since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has seen the eldest grandson Wuji only a handful of times. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is a holy decree for you to be rewarded, and I am afraid that you are the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty who has this kind of honor!" At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji reached out and took out a holy decree from his sleeve and put it in front of Li Shimin and said, Originally, he didn't need to run for this kind of trivial matter in person, but he wanted to talk to Li Xiu about some things, so he brought the holy decree by the way.

When Li Xiu heard that it was a holy decree of reward, he was not polite at all, took it and opened it to take a look, he didn't care much about his title of "Yan Guogong", but when he saw the titles of his two sons, he couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied and said: "Isn't it a county prince, how did you become a county prince?" ”

Seeing that Li Xiu still disliked the county duke, the eldest grandson Wuji was also a little speechless, his son only got the title of a county uncle, and he was only the eldest son, and the other sons did not have the title at all, but Li Xiu's two sons were both county dukes, much stronger than his sons, of course, he was also convinced of Li Xiu's merits, not to mention anything else, just the merit of offering gunpowder was enough to give Li Xiu the title of king.

"Forget it, this kind of trivial matter is not worth thinking about, I'm afraid that the eldest grandson brother came here today not just to send a holy decree, right?" Li Xiu first waved his hand generously, and then smiled at the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Hehe, Brother Li guessed right, in addition to sending you the holy decree, Your Majesty also asked me to tell you something." The eldest grandson Wuji deliberately sold a pass at this time, although he was not jealous of Li Xiu's merits, but he was also a little dissatisfied with Li Xiu's appearance, so he deliberately did not finish his words.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu had to ask.

"Your Majesty asked me to tell you that he decided to agree to make peace with the Western Turks!" I saw the eldest grandson Wuji smile calmly again.

"What?" Li Xiu also stood up suddenly when he heard this, and his face also showed annoyance, he had spent so much effort to persuade Li Shimin before, he thought he would be able to listen, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to agree to make peace!

"Hahahaha~" Seeing Li Xiu's angry appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly laughed, and immediately pulled Li Xiu to sit down again, and then explained, "Brother Li, you don't have to be angry, listen to what I said, although Your Majesty agreed to make peace, the main thing is that you don't want to offend the Western Turks too much, after all, they still control the trade route of the Silk Road, if this trade route is blocked, our Datang's commerce will also be severely hit." ”

"So what, it's a big deal that we open up a sea route, and we can transport goods out from the sea, and as long as the route is opened, a shipload of goods can be dozens of times more than a camel team!" Li Xiu was very unconvinced, before the appearance of the train, the efficiency of land transportation was too low, although the sea route was dangerous, but the efficiency was much stronger than the land route, and as long as he was willing to invest, he could completely control the sea route in the hands of Datang.

"Hehe, the sea route is indeed a solution, but there are still many difficulties to be solved, so in a short period of time, we still need to make friends with the Western Turks, lest they blockade the Western Regions, but although Your Majesty agreed to make peace, he didn't plan to really marry someone." At this time, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji smile again.

"What do you mean? The Western Turkic missions have already arrived outside the city, and they are here to greet their relatives, so is it possible that Your Majesty has promised to make peace, but is not ready to give it to people? Li Xiu was very puzzled when he heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Haha~, I didn't expect that there was something Li Xiu you couldn't guess, although Your Majesty agreed to be close, but if the Western Turkic Mission wants to marry the princess, it must also take the Silk Road, but although the first half of this silk is in the hands of our Tang Dynasty, it is often harassed by Jieli, and even sometimes Jieli will directly send troops to occupy a section of the road, so that the Silk Road will be blocked, and even the merchants will not be able to pass at that time, let alone the team of Heqin." Eldest Sun Wuji laughed again.

"I see!" Li Xiu also slapped the table when he heard this, and stood up excitedly again and said, "Jieli definitely doesn't want to see us marry with the Western Turks, in other words, as long as we reveal the news of our affinity to Jieli, he will definitely send troops to block the road, so that there will be no more harmony!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is exactly what he intended, and the news of the harmony has already spread through people, I'm afraid that Jieli will make a move soon!" The eldest grandson Wuji laughed again and said, this is the method he discussed with Li Shimin, because Jieli is the stumbling block, so they can't be blamed for not getting married.

"It's really a good strategy, that is, it destroys the harmony, and deepens the contradiction between the Protector Ye and Jieli, it would be even better if they could fight." Li Xiu couldn't help but praise at this time.

"I'm afraid it's unlikely to fight, although Tong Huye and Jieli are arrogant and proud, they are not stupid, and they all have some internal problems, especially Jieli is busy reforming the Turkic court, small conflicts may happen, but don't think about a big war." The eldest grandson Wuji seriously considered Li Xiu's last sentence, but he muttered to himself with some regret.

The eldest grandson Wuji mainly came to tell Li Xiu and his relatives about it, so after finishing speaking, he got up and said goodbye, Li Xiu also knew that he was busy with affairs, so he didn't keep him, and personally sent him out of the door at the moment, and then turned around and returned to the inner house, and showed the holy decree to Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang.

Although there is still a reward for Princess Pingyang on the holy decree, mainly to increase the fiefdom, but Princess Pingyang reacted coldly to this, and even did not want to accept the holy decree, which was also expected by Li Xiu, in contrast, Yi Niang seemed much happier, especially after Princess Pingyang left, she snatched the holy decree and looked at it carefully, her son was not yet two years old and was named a county duke, which is a great honor, how can she not be happy?

Li Xiu was named the Duke of Yanguo, and he was rewarded with the corresponding mansion and fiefdom, but Li Xiu didn't bother to look at it, anyway, he didn't plan to live in Chang'an City, so he just asked Yi Niang to send a few stewards to hand it over, and then he was thinking about Li Yuanji's letter to Li Yuan, and I don't know if I should send it to Li Yuan?
