"Your Majesty, this is a proposed reward for the horses, please take a look!" In the Liangyi Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji carefully sent a good holy decree to Li Shimin, he had learned from the palace people that Li Shimin went out today, but after coming back, he frowned, and no one was allowed to disturb him, so he was also very careful now.

"It's Wuji, what kind of reward have you all decided to give Li Xiu?" Hearing the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin, who was in deep thought, raised his head, and then showed him a gentle smile and said.

"According to Your Majesty's will, Li Xiu's title has been set as the Duke of Yan Guo, and as for his two sons, they will also be rewarded as the Duke of Gu'an County and the Duke of Xin'an County respectively according to your wishes!" Seeing Li Shimin's gentle face, the eldest grandson Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief at the moment.

"Yan Guogong? This title is not bad, I originally wanted to give him and the third sister's son a national duke, but Li Xiu didn't want it, but he had to change it to two county dukes, this can't be cheap for him, it's already good to give him two county dukes! Li Shimin couldn't help but smile when he heard the report of the eldest grandson Wuji.

The princes of the country are also divided into far and near, such as the titles of the seven heroes of the Warring States such as Qi Chuyan Han, all of which are honorific titles among the princes, and only ministers who are particularly close to the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Xiu can get it, as for the Duke of E, Xu Guogong, etc., they are all worse.

"I'm afraid that only Li Xiu dares to bargain with His Majesty!" The eldest grandson Wuji saw that Li Shimin was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but laugh at the moment, but when he said this, he couldn't help but be a little envious of Li Xiu, he used to dare to joke with Li Shimin, and even took the initiative to ask for things, but after Li Shimin ascended the throne, the two sides became monarchs and ministers, which made him a little restrained in front of Li Shimin, but Li Xiu didn't seem to be affected in any way, and still dared to say anything.

"Li Xiu's courage is great, he not only dares to take care of my family affairs, but also dares to teach me how to be a person today!" Li Shimin spoke again at this time.

"Oh? Did His Majesty leave the palace today to see Li Xiu? The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Shimin's words, he only knew that Li Shimin was out of the palace, but he didn't know about Li Shimin going to find Li Xiu.

"Yes, I wanted to ask him about the bearded guest, but I didn't expect him to tell me the story of a beggar emperor......"

Li Shimin said that Li Xiu told the story related to the Ming Dynasty, and when it came to the sentence "no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies", Li Shimin couldn't help but show admiration, although he knew that this story may have been "made up" by Li Xiu, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in the story also deeply moved him.

I saw that after the eldest grandson Wuji listened to the story of the Ming Dynasty, he couldn't help frowning, and after a while, he reacted almost the same as Li Shimin at that time: "What is the purpose of Li Xiu telling this story?" ”

"Haha~, I also asked him this at the time, but you would never have thought that Li Xiu, who has never cared much about the government, actually advised me not to make peace, because he thought that exchanging a woman for the interests of the Tang Dynasty would be a shame for our Datang, and he also asserted that the Western Turks would be in chaos in a few years!" Li Shimin first laughed, and then said solemnly, he also had to pay attention to Li Xiu's words.

"Yikes!" What Li Shimin never expected was that as soon as his words fell, the eldest grandson Wuji's face changed greatly, and even shook his hands, and he actually shook the fold on his hand to the ground, which also made Li Shimin look at him in surprise and said, "Wuji, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Your Majesty, Li Xiu...... Li Xiu ...... How could he possibly know about the chaos that was going to happen to the Western Turks? Eldest Sun Wuji's face also changed greatly at this time, and he asked with an expression of disbelief.

"What's the matter, listen to the meaning of your words, do you know anything that can prove that the Western Turks are about to be in chaos?" Li Shimin was equally surprised when he heard the rhetorical question of the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked, if there is such a thing, why doesn't he know?

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything, the minister came to see Your Majesty today, in addition to presenting the holy decree of rewarding Li Xiu, there is another thing to report to Your Majesty, which is related to the Western Turks!" I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji reported again at this time.

"Oh? What's up? Li Shimin was surprised again when he heard this, as if he liked to get together for everything, today Li Xiu had just told him about the Western Turks, but now the eldest grandson Wuji also came to report his affairs about the Western Turks, which is really a coincidence.

"Your Majesty, the martial law in Chang'an City is about to be lifted, and the Western Turkic mission outside the city should also enter the city, so the minister personally went to Xinzhu County today to meet the envoy of the Western Turks, and discussed with him some details of meeting His Majesty, but he didn't expect that when he was about to leave at the end, he didn't expect that a person in the mission secretly contacted the minister, which made the minister know a big hidden danger within the Western Turks!" The eldest grandson Wuji reported with a solemn face.

"Oh? What is the identity of the person who is secretly in contact with you? Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised again when he heard this, there was someone in the mission sent by the Western Turks who secretly contacted Changsun Wuji, which shows that the other party is not monolithic, and this person who secretly contacted Changsun Wuji is likely to have some shady schemes.

"Your Majesty, the person who secretly contacted the minister is called Habor, and he is also the deputy envoy of the Western Turkic Mission, but he is not the person who commands the Great Khan of the Western Turks, but the person of his uncle Mo Hedu!" When the eldest grandson Wuji said at the end, he also said with a smile on his face.

Although the Western Turks are their allies, the reason why the two sides have formed an alliance is mainly because they have a common enemy, if the Eastern Turks are destroyed, then the Western Turks, who control the Silk Road, will become the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty is also happy to see the contradictions within the Western Turks.

"Mo Hedu? I seem to have heard of this person, he is the uncle of the Protector Ye, and he is also deeply trusted by the Protector Ye, one of the little khans of the Western Turks, this person actually secretly sent someone to contact our Datang, this is interesting, what did the deputy envoy say? Li Shimin first stroked the short beard under his chin and muttered a few words to himself, and then asked the eldest grandson Wuji with interest.

"Hehe, Harbor didn't say anything special, but expressed his admiration to His Majesty on behalf of Mohe, and gave a lot of gifts, and then after going around and around, he made a very interesting request!" Eldest Sun Wuji smiled again.

"What requirements?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this.

"Hehe, speaking of which, this request also made the minister a little unbelievable, Mo Helu actually wanted to make peace with the Tang Dynasty and ask to marry the princess as his wife!" Eldest Sun Wuji smiled with a cold face.

"I see, it seems that this Mo Helu's ambition is really not small, Tong Hu Ye wants to marry my princess of the Tang Dynasty, and he also wants to marry the princess of my Datang, is it really as many as the princess of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin was angry when he heard this, but Mo Helu's request also exposed his ambition, and even based on this alone, it can be seen that he already has the mind to replace the protection leaf.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be angry, Mo Helu has such ambitions, it's too late for our Datang to be happy, I guess the reason why he made this request is nothing more than to test my Datang's attitude, but in this way, it also exposes his ambitions, although he is just a little khan, but the commander has been rampant in the Western Regions over the years, and he has already provoked the anger of the heavens, if Mo Helu really rebels, then the Western Turkic rebellion will not be far away!" The eldest grandson Wuji said excitedly.

"Originally, I wanted to unite with the Western Turks to deal with Jieli, but I didn't expect that the Western Turks themselves would be in chaos, but this is okay, without such a potential enemy, our Silk Road can be smoother in the future, but in this way, it may take a little more energy to deal with Jieli!" Li Shimin stroked his beard again at this time and thought.

"Your Majesty is wise, Jieli's strength has been greatly reduced, on the other hand, my Datang is becoming more and more prosperous, under the advantages of one another, sooner or later one day our Datang will have the upper hand, as long as we can seize the opportunity, it is not difficult to destroy Jieli in one fell swoop, as for the Western Turks, they are in civil strife, we have the opportunity to infiltrate the Western Regions!" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile at this time.

"Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain". This sentence of later generations is very suitable to describe the eldest grandson Wuji, he and Li Shimin are rare strategists, especially after controlling the military and political power of the Tang Dynasty, the two of them have a more long-term vision.

Although the Western Turks are a good ally, these steppe people have always been unreliable, no one knows whether they can be used when attacking Jieli in the future, in addition, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji have also set their sights on the distant Western Regions, not to mention that the Silk Road, a vital trade route, has always been stuck by the neck of the Western Turks, and the goods that came out of the Tang Dynasty had to be rubbed with a layer of fat oil by the Western Turks, which was naturally not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, so they were happy to see the civil strife between the two of them against the Western Turks.

"Since this is the case, then there is no need for peace this time, but Li Xiu is really a god, and he actually guessed the imminent civil strife of the Western Turks one step in advance!" When Li Shimin said the end, his face also showed a look of admiration, although it was not the first time he had seen Li Xiu's almost miraculous judgment, but every time he encountered it, he still felt a little incredible.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, when the minister came back, he also felt that this time the harmony was no longer necessary, but this matter was promised by the Emperor Taishang a long time ago, and now what way should we use to refuse, without angering the Protector Ye?" Eldest Sun Wuji nodded first, and then said with some distress, although the Western Turks were about to have civil strife, there was no need for Datang to offend them too much at this time.
