Time flies, time flies.

If it were the fairy realm, it would seem that there would be no trace of ten years.

But in the world, ten years is enough time.

The king of Zhu Ziguo has finally changed.

It was not that the first king died, but that he voluntarily abdicated.

After all, Feng Zhou opened a school, expanded the territory, cultivated talents, and even later, he didn't care about his father's feelings and expanded the elite troops.

At that time, the former king found that his power in the court was insignificant.

Even the more trusted ministers under him could not issue decrees without the approval of the seal.

The first king was also very conscious, and after discovering this sign, in order to prevent others from taking the initiative to persuade him, he directly announced his abdication and was succeeded by the crown prince Fengzhou.

After Feng Zhou became king, he vigorously carried out reforms and promulgated a series of policies to enrich the country and strengthen the people.

He is powerful, and his subordinates have cultivated a large number of outstanding talents, coupled with his soul dementoring Dafa, everyone is shrewd and capable and loyal to him at the same time, it can be said that he has cultivated 10,000 Paulkochakin.

With the implementation of these people, Zhu Ziguo's national strength has grown by leaps and bounds.

After reigning for three years, Feng Zhou began to lead his army to the east.

Considering that his purpose was to open up the Silk Road and conduct all-round exchanges with the Tang Dynasty, the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire.

Feng Zhou had no idea of extinguishing the Flame Mountain.

Because the Flame Mountain is 800 miles long, even if the mountain fire is extinguished, it is not conducive to commercial and trade traffic.

He chose the Southern Silk Road.

There is the northern foot of Kunlun Mountain, with many rivers and canals, and sufficient water sources, which is conducive to the life of the people and the passage of commerce, which is naturally the main goal of his strategy.

As for influencing the westward expansion of the Tang Dynasty?

So what?

Feng Zhou doesn't care.

After seven years, he successively destroyed the Shule State, the Shache State, the Bojin State, the Khotan State, and the Tiele State, and fought three battles with the Tubo State, killing 300,000 Tubo elites, Songtsan Gampo was angry, died of disease, and the Tubo was terrified and did not dare to go north.

By this time, Fengzhou had established a large country of 5,000 miles from north to south and 40,000 miles from east to west, with 20 million people and 300,000 elite soldiers.

At this point, Fengzhou has opened up the Southern Silk Road, and Zhu Ziguo's goods can be sold through the Yumen Pass to the rich Tang Dynasty.

At this time, it was the twelfth year of the Tang Dynasty.

In this year, Feng Zhou relied on the great martial arts of destroying all countries, ascended the throne and became the emperor, the country name Daming, the year name Hongwu, and called himself Hongwu Emperor Fengzhou.

The Tibetan kingdoms, the Tibetan states, the Tocharian states, and even the Uighurs, Xue Yantuo and other countries were afraid of the great power of the boat, and sent envoys to congratulate them, and honored the boat as "Genghis Khan".

In order to introduce the Tang Dynasty culture, and to let the Celestial Empire know the great power of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Zhou wrote a letter of state to the Tang Emperor.

"Zhu Ziguo was originally a big country in Xiniu Hezhou, and after he succeeded to the throne by himself, he went all the way to the east, and even destroyed the Ben Bowl, the Sacrifice Race, Shule, Shache, Bojin, In Khotan, Tiele Seven Kingdoms, and wiped out 300,000 Tibetan elites, Tubo King Songtsan Gampo feared me and died, all countries respected me as Genghis Khan, since ancient times the West Niu Hezhou meritorious long, not as I am, I thunder a blow, no one can stop, the past monks and Taoists, are prostrate and kneeling, dare not look up to see me, I heard that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, also a peerless hero, people say that since ancient times, the emperor of China, destroy the king of the Zhulu domain, humbly accept advice. Governing the world internally, strictly practicing economy, persuading agriculture and mulberry, realizing recuperation, national peace and security, and creating "the rule of Zhenguan". Open up the territory to the outside world, the martial arts are outstanding, there is a saying that "since ancient times, the emperor can not be the right of Li Shimin", so there is a sense of heroic sympathy. ”

"Hearing that the Tang Emperor's longevity is approaching, ending in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, I am quite good at magic, and I am willing to unify the army of five hundred, go east to Chang'an, visit the Tang Emperor, and you are good brothers, and make trouble together. ”

This half-written letter passed through the Yumen Pass as quickly as possible and was sent to Chang'an City.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, after the Tang Emperor Li Shimin received the letter of state, he couldn't help but be furious, and said in the court: "Since ancient times, the emperor of the Central Plains has been supreme, a small country in the west, but after destroying a few city-states, he dared to show off his might in front of me, which is really ridiculous." What's even more ridiculous is that he actually said that I can only serve as emperor for thirteen years, and I will die next year, what a big joke!"

When the military generals heard the emperor's words, they all sneered. The general Qin Qiong even stepped forward directly to salute and shouted: "What is the difference between this Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Kingdom and the King of Yelang? The minister is willing to lead an army of 50,000 troops, go west out of Yumen Pass, destroy the Ming Kingdom, capture the boat alive, and sacrifice it to His Majesty, so that he and that Jieli will be His Majesty's right Wuwei general together." ”

Wei Chigong was not far behind, and stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is so arrogant and rude, the minister is really angry when he hears it, and the matter of the Western Expedition will not be wasted Uncle Bao, and he will lead an army of 40,000 with a slight anger, and he will definitely destroy the Ming Kingdom, sacrifice the prisoners, and expand the territory for my Tang Dynasty." ”

Hou Junji, Cheng Yanjin, Xue Wanche and other generals also went out together, shouting loudly one by one, to lead the army to go out, destroy the Ming Kingdom, and capture the Ming Emperor alive to seal the boat.

For a while, the hall was noisy like a street market, and Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, military affairs, don't be careless!"

Prime Minister Wei Zheng took a step forward and admonished loudly.

As soon as this person came out, the voices of the generals immediately subsided, and the entire hall immediately fell silent.

There is no way, this person is the best at admonition, but every admonition is reasonable, loyal and patriotic, so even if he is violent, Mingjun Li Shimin can only tolerate it in every possible way.

The emperor had to endure it, and all the henchmen naturally observed the words and expressions one by one, and immediately retreated silently whenever they saw what they said.

I'm afraid that if I offend this person and make a mess of embarrassment, it will be more than worth the loss.

Li Shimin smiled faintly: "Wei Aiqing, please speak." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Weichen dreamed of the heavenly people to teach the law, observed the heavens, and found that the Northwest Emperor Star was shining, and Minghua was thousands of miles, so he sent a powerful person to the west out of Yumen Pass to investigate the affairs of the Western Regions. ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly sent someone to hand over the national letter, and carefully tipped through it, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it.

It turned out that it listed in detail the ability of Fengzhou to govern the country and the country, the merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and saw that the Ming country was rich and prosperous, no less than the Tang Dynasty, and was immediately surprised: "I have been dedicated to attacking the north and Goguryeo for so many years, and I wanted to focus on the northwest next, but I never thought that unconsciously, a big country appeared in the Western Regions, and the monarch was so virtuous, how can this be good?"

After speaking, he handed the book to the ministers to read.

After the prime minister's eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others saw it, they were all shocked, and even the minister Qinwen said: "Your Majesty, as stated in the national letter, Feng Zhou only led 500 people into the Tang Dynasty, and he is willing to be brothers with His Majesty, which shows that his heart is towards the Central Plains and admires the elegance of the Heavenly Dynasty, why doesn't Your Majesty treat people with courtesy and show my Tang temperament." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "Yes, what Aiqing said is true to my intentions, then write a letter of state, invite him to come to my Chang'an, and I will definitely receive him with the gift of the emperor!"

"My Emperor Shengming!" the ministers hurriedly complied.

After this episode passed, Datang issued a letter of state with the fastest efficiency, and the words in the text were sincere, warm and generous, and sincerely invited Feng Zhou to come to Datang Chang'an as a guest.

Feng Zhou calculated the time, arranged domestic affairs, and led 500 guards through Yumen Pass and all the way east to Chang'an.

In the second year of Hongwu and the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the boat arrived in Chang'an City.

Chang'an is worthy of being a famous city in the world, ten times more prosperous than Zhu Zicheng.

The capital city is a large country, and the eight rivers flow around the four mountains. How many emperors prospered here, and the world said Chang'an in ancient times. It is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties built their capitals. Since the Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, the three states are full of flowers, and the eight rivers flow around the city. Thirty-six flower willow alleys, seventy-two orchestra buildings. Looking at the Huayi map, it is the best in the world, and it is really a miracle party.

Because Fengzhou is the respect of the emperor of a great country, Li Shimin built a palace in Chang'an City in order to show his imperial temperament of accepting all rivers, and arranged for Cheng Yanjin, the general of Zuotunwei, to lead the army to guard it.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.

On the day of Feng Zhou's check-in, he hadn't officially met Li Shimin, but he was drunk first......

"Your Majesty, Tang Lu Guogong, Zuotunwei General Cheng Biting Jin was drunk, led a thousand elite soldiers to surround the hall, heard that His Majesty was brave and extraordinary, and claimed to learn from his teacher!"

Feng Zhou's Guards commander reported.

His face was pale, but he was angry.

After all, this is a foreign country, and there are only 500 people around, facing the siege of the ground snake, and worrying about the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, naturally dare not speak out.

"It's okay, it's just to test the details!"

Feng Zhou waved his hand and walked out.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin held a big axe, staggered on the horse, and shouted: "Cheng Zhijie heard that His Majesty the Ming Emperor is brave and invincible, and he has come to learn from him!"

The 1,000 Tang soldiers under his command held spears, and one by one they looked at the palace gate with sneers on their faces.

"Huh!"

A faint laugh sounded suddenly, the voice was peaceful, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it shook for several miles, and the soldiers of the 1,000 Tang Army seemed to be greatly frightened, and their faces turned pale and collapsed into an army, how could there be the slightest majesty at all?

Cheng Biting Jin bore the brunt of the blow, a big face was fierce first white and then green, stepped off the handsome horse and hissed forward violently, and threw the unprepared Cheng Biting Jin away.

Behind him, the guards followed by the honor guard all staggered in chaos, fortunately, General Cheng's martial arts were strong, he seemed to be drunk but his body was not chaotic at all, and he adjusted his body to land steadily when he couldn't make a move, and the armor and robe on his body did not look dirty!

But he didn't have the slightest smug look at this time, and his big copper eyes were full of incredulity!

With a faint smile, can you have such divine might?

This Emperor of the Ming Kingdom of the Western Regions has such a profound inner cultivation, it is really terrifying!
