"What is said to cut the land to divide the meritorious ministers, it is the common meaning of ancient and modern, what is to say that I want the descendants of those ministers to continue to assist the future Emperor Li Tang, so they are divided, and the emperor can really say it if it is so false." Wang Lun sneered in a low voice.

"Hehe, what's so embarrassing, the emperor is still very aggrieved," you have been full of complaints many times, is it because I am forced to give you the land?" It is said that at that time, the eldest grandson Wuji said, since Your Majesty you are not necessarily forced to give, then please take back the will of the separation, and leave no face for the emperor at all." Wu Yuanqing gloated and laughed.

"The." Wang Lun said lightly. A family like theirs has been a lot of toss for the emperor in the past few years.

Several imperial examinations, most of the people who passed the examination were poor scholars, and I don't know if the chief examiner deliberately suppressed the gate valve scholars, anyway, the door valve children who should have higher knowledge are very few.

And when the officials were selected and appointed, most of them were sent to serve in the bitter cold land. The influence of the family in the DPRK and the local area can be said to be significantly decreasing.

The two of them leaned against the wall and whispered, and in the yard not far away, Yaya and a little Zhengtai were playing happily with a small shovel on the ground.

Xiao Zhengtai is Wang Lun's son Wang Jun, who came to Chang'an with his mother Lu two days ago. The little guy is ten years old, and he is almost white and clean with the temperament of his father's old little white face.

But the little guy doesn't have a temperament like his father, he is very steady, very similar to his mother.

The little guy is half inherited by his father and mother, unlike Yaya, whether it is his appearance or temperament, he is similar to her mother, but he is not similar to his father Wu Yuanqing, maybe he can be regarded as a bold one.

"By the way, I think your caravan will not go to the Western Regions this year, and in the first half of next year, it's about to fight." Wu Yuanqing changed the topic and advised.

"What's going on?" Wang Lun asked puzzledly, the caravan going to the Western Regions can be said to be the most profitable route to go out to sea and abroad.

"Didn't you say that there was going to be a war." Wu Yuanqing said.

"Who fights with whom, why haven't I heard." Wang Lun asked in surprise.

"Datang and Gao Changbei. According to the news that came back yesterday, just a few years ago, the other tribes of the Xu Turks, Chu Yue, Chu Mi, and Gao Chang jointly sent troops to attack Yanqi, and laid down five cities in Yanqi, looting and burning them, and then destroying them, and plundering 1,500 people."

After listening to what Wu Yuanqing said, Wang Lun was still puzzled: "What does this Yanqi have to do with our Tang Dynasty, why did you attack Gaochang, is it to avenge Yanqi?"

"Not only that, but this Yanqi King Tuqi sent envoys to Chang'an to pay tribute in the sixth year of Zhenguan. In the past, the Yanqi people came to the Central Plains to take the desert passage, and the road was blocked at the end of the Sui Dynasty, so they had to take Gaochang. During the tribute, the Turk asked his envoy to ask His Majesty to open up the desert passage again to facilitate communication, and His Majesty of course agreed. Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, who received the news, hated the Tuqi branch very much, and sent troops to attack Yanqi and plunder. So, you know that this is not the first time that this Yanqi has been attacked by Gaochang. Yanqi tribute is the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and if it is attacked, it is slapping the Tang Dynasty in the face, not to mention being attacked because it wants our Datang to open up the desert passage, and this Datang can't sit idly by. But then again, Gaochang is also a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so His Majesty was not very good at sending troops to teach Gaochang how to behave. Just send an envoy to reprimand Ju Wentai."

"Then why do you say you're going to fight now?" Wang Lun asked.

"Because Gao Chang didn't take His Majesty's reprimand seriously, he went even further. It's like an ant, once it crawls on your hand and makes you uncomfortable, you let it go, but it always teases you five times or three times, and you can't slap it to death." Wu Yuanqing stretched out his hand and patted it gently.

"Gaochang has gone too far in the past few years, attacking this Yanqi many times, and this time it is the united Western Turks, which is a hostile country of the Tang Dynasty, making wind and rain in the Western Regions, destroying the Silk Road and affecting the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions. Gaochang, a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but joined forces with the enemy state of the Tang Dynasty to attack another vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, they are not looking for death. Not to mention, Gao Chang has already shown a strong hostility towards Datang. Not only did he fight Yanqi, Zhenguan for four years, but the city lord of Yiwu, who was also a country in the Western Regions, personally went to Chang'an to pay tribute, and led the seven cities to which he belonged to attach the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty also set up Xiyizhou in Yiwu. From that time on, Yiwu's land was not considered a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, but the actual territory of the Tang Dynasty. But at that time, Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, regarded the Tang Dynasty as nothing, and also united with the Western Turks to attack Yiwu, but fortunately, the Tang garrison was already stationed there at that time, and did not let the plot of Gaochang and the Western Turks succeed.

The reason why they repeatedly attacked Yanqi and Yiwu, the subject states or territories of the Tang Dynasty, and prevented the Western Regions countries from paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty to get close to the Tang Dynasty, was just because Gao Chang did not want the Tang Dynasty's forces to penetrate into these places and affect their interests in the Western Regions. Such an act of the Western Turks is nothing, but Gao Chang was rewarded by the Tang Dynasty to do such a thing, which is a great rebellion. Moreover, they have repeatedly refused to accept His Majesty's calls, and in recent years, they have not paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, they have not practiced the etiquette of vassals, and the official titles and titles they have set up are the same as those of the Tang Dynasty, and they have dug the city and dug ditches to pose as if they were preparing to attack the Tang Dynasty, how can Your Majesty tolerate them."

"When will it get bigger, my family just had a caravan set off for the Western Regions when I left Jinyang." Wang Lun said eagerly.

"It's going to be the end of the year, and the envoys sent by His Majesty to Gaochang will leave, and when Gaochang has a reply, it will be at least half a year since the back and forth, so it's only half a year since then." Wu Yuanqing thought for a while and said.

"That, that's okay, it is estimated that the caravan should have left the Western Regions and returned to the customs." Wang Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, you remember to inform me, it's best not to go to the Western Regions for more than half a year, let alone go further west, but you can ask your caravan to prepare more goods for the needs of the Western Regions. Although it is difficult to run to the Western Regions because of the war, when our Tang Dynasty sends troops to attack, you and I can let the caravan that has been prepared for a long time follow the army to do business. Not only can you provide baggage for the army, but you can also collect some of the things that the army has captured and rewarded. Gaochang can be a rich country in the Western Regions, and it can make money by making a few trips on the Silk Road."

"It's the same as fighting the Eastern Turks and Tuguhun?" Wang Lun's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Yes, it's the same as fighting the Eastern Turks and Tuyuhun." Wu Yuanqing smiled and nodded.
