"The prince's new assistant to the prince is meritorious in offering auspicious potatoes, a bounty of five hundred taels, five hundred forging, one hundred good horses, Feng Jiayuan Marquis, entered the Chongwen Pavilion, and received the post of the prince's governor."

Wang Xiang grinned at the corners of his mouth when he heard the long string of rewards, Nima, when did Li Er be so generous.

All the ministers present are extremely envious, it is really a great honor to be a marquis at such a young age, although the history of the prince's mansion is only the position of the seventh grade, but it is of great significance, everyone knows that a new star of the Tang Dynasty is about to rise.

It stands to reason that Wang Xiang only assisted the prince in offering potatoes and deserved such a rich reward, but no one here was a fool, and they could guess that the potatoes were offered by Wang Xiang nine times out of ten, but the prince took the first credit. The crown prince took the first credit, but the reward should not be less, otherwise it would really chill people's hearts. Everyone tacitly agreed, otherwise Wei Zheng's temper would have stood up against Li Er's reward.

Li Chengqian saw that Wang Xiang only grinned and smirked, gently pushed him, and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't thank you yet." ”

Wang Xiang hurriedly made a nondescript salute to Li Er, thanking him for the reward.

"Wang Jian Cheng, oh no, I should call you Marquis Jiayuan now, my father let you take the position of the head of the Prince's Mansion, and you will be regarded as a member of my Prince's Mansion in the future." Li Chengqian seemed very happy and joked to Wang Xiang.

The people of the Prince's Mansion? Wang Xiang was suddenly a little stunned, to be honest, although the relationship with Li Chengqian is usually not bad, but he doesn't want to have too much to do with the Prince's Mansion, after all, no one knows if history will develop according to the original trajectory, if this thing is hot-headed and rebels one day, then he will also suffer, but Li Er's reward is not something that can be refused casually.

However, at present, many things have deviated from history, and the eldest grandson queen in history died in the tenth year of Zhenguan, but now she has asthma medicine, as long as there are no major changes, it must be fine.

According to historical records, it is precisely because of the death of Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian's suffering from leg disease that his personality mutated and rebelled, and now Empress Changsun has not died, and Li Chengqian, Wang Xiang has known him for so long and has not found anything wrong with his legs, and today he has been rewarded by Li Er, and the position of the crown prince is very stable, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason to rebel.

Now Wang Xiang is most worried about another thing, the early ripening of potatoes gave Li Er a big surprise, but it is not necessarily a good thing for himself, because the trip to Gaochang is about to be advanced.

At the beginning, after the so-called autumn harvest, the envoy Gaochang was actually waiting for potatoes, and Li Er would not act rashly if he did not see the yield of potatoes, and the premise of Wang Xiang's captive breeding strategy was that Datang had enough food, otherwise the people of Datang would not be able to eat enough, where would there be food for captive foreigners.

After the birthday banquet ended, Wang Xiang was recruited into the Taiji Hall by Li Er, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were also in the hall, and what surprised Wang Xiang was that he saw two unexpected people, Ju Yiya and Aqinu.

It wasn't the usual court, so everyone was sitting below, but the atmosphere was even more serious than the previous court.

The eldest grandson Wuji first introduced the identities of Ju Yiya and Aqinu to Wang Xiang and others, it turned out that Ju Yiya was the princess of Gaochang Kingdom, she was not the daughter of Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, but the daughter of Ju Wenya, Ju Wenya was Ju Wentai's half-brother, and the land in charge of Xizhou was the king of Xizhou of Gaochang Kingdom.

Ju Wentai was stupid and fickle, initially afraid of the Tang Tianwei to join the Tang Dynasty, and then saw that the Turkic soldiers and horses were strong and turned to the Turks, and intercepted the caravans and envoys of the Tang Dynasty many times at the instigation of the Turks, and some time ago they frequently went south to plunder the border towns of the Tang Dynasty.

Ju Wenya, as the king of Xizhou of Gaochang State, did not agree with Ju Wentai's approach, he has always believed that the nature of the Turks is to plunder and be brutal, and to be friendly with the Turks is to seek skin with the tiger, and will eventually be harmed by it, and the Tang Dynasty is different, the country of Shangbang, the state of etiquette, and belonging to the Tang Dynasty is the way of survival of Gaochang.

This time, Li Erda's birthday Ju Wentai did not send an envoy to congratulate, and Ju Yiya and Aqinu came secretly on Ju Wenya's order, and the meaning is self-evident.

So in this way, Li Er let the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Xiang send an envoy to Gaochang is even more intriguing, judging from Ju Wentai's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty, he is already determined to follow the Turks and fight against the Tang Dynasty, this trip must have no return, there is no need to send an envoy at all, Li Er will not be so confused.

Wang Xiang was also vaguely curious about what Li Er was thinking.

Sure enough, after listening carefully, I realized that Li Er did not plan to let himself and his eldest grandson Wuji send an envoy to Gaochang, to be exact, it should be an envoy to Xizhou, Xizhou was quite kind to Datang under Ju Wenya's governance, and the Datang caravans went to Gaochang to settle in Xizhou, where the caravan could be sheltered by Ju Wenya.

Ju Wenya has secretly sent envoys to Tang many times, but at that time, Ju Wentai's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty was not as bad as it is now, so Li Er did not agree to his request, and now Ju Wentai is determined to hug the Turkic thigh, so Li Er will not be polite to him.

The current matter is very clear, the king of Xizhou wants to be the king of Gaochang, and for Li Er, a king of Gaochang who is kind to the Tang Dynasty is naturally more comfortable than a king of Gaochang who is against the Tang Dynasty everywhere, so the interests of the two are completely consistent.

Let the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Xiang send an envoy to Xizhou, firstly, to appease Ju Wenya, secondly, to let the eldest grandson Wuji discuss cooperation with him, and thirdly, to establish the trade market that Wang Xiang said.

Since Ju Wentai completely fell to the Turks, Datang's caravans have been repeatedly intercepted, and even the caravans going to Xizhou have become fewer and fewer, and without the caravans, the quality of life of the people in Xizhou has been greatly reduced.

Previously, Li Er sent troops to repel Gaochang's southward elite cavalry, and secretly sent people to Xizhou to see Ju Wenya, and mentioned the establishment of a trade market, Ju Wenya agreed after hearing it, he is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, with Gaochang's national strength is either dependent on the Tang Dynasty or dependent on the Turks, it is impossible to be celibate

, so the establishment of a trade market is beneficial and harmless for him.

As for the Turks, what can a people who live by plundering bring to Gaochang? Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Ju Wentai is stupid.

Everything was discussed by Li Er, Changsun Wuji and others, Wang Xiang was completely an audience, no decision, no veto power, all he had to do was to go home and get ready, and after half a month, he would go to Xizhou with the mission, and Ju Yiya and Aqinu would also go together.

All this was not objected to by him, because Li Er had great expectations for the trade market he proposed, and bluntly said that it was not safe to send someone else.

"I hope that the vassal countries of Fanbang will beg me to establish the same trade market in their place after seeing the trade market you have established in Xizhou, and not let me down."

Thinking of what Li Er said to himself at the end, Wang Xiang suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was still quite heavy.
