Ashina Ni is by no means a mediocre talent, and the reason why he wants to take advantage of the situation to return to the Ming Dynasty is to protect the Western Turks.

Otherwise, in the years to come, the Western Turks may not be able to stand alone.

And, most crucially, they really need time for the Western Turks to recover.

To put it bluntly, their attachment was originally to find a thigh to hold and buy time for themselves.

But this is only one of Ashina's purposes, and his other purpose is to drive a wedge between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, which can play a decisive role in the future resurgence of the Western Turks.

He has been to Chang'an, so he naturally knows that Niu Jinda is a fan of Li Er, and when he was in the Qin Palace, he had seen Niu Jinda with luggage two.

Moreover, he also investigated the reason why Niu Jinda came to Daming, saying that Niu Jinda was not arranged by Li Er, and he didn't believe it when he was killed.

This allows Niu Jinda to be in charge of all military and political affairs of the Western Turks, what is the difference between this and handing over the Western Turks to Li Er?

The point is that this will definitely dispel Li Er's suspicions about Li Chengqian to a certain extent.

That's why he hurriedly spoke.

Li Chengqian looked at Ashina and asked with a smile, "Why?" Could it be that Khan is teasing this king? ”

As soon as this title changed, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly changed.

He Li and Yi Yuanfeng immediately heard the sound and looked at Ashina with an unkind expression.

In that sense, Ashina mud can't say one, two, three, and they both have the feeling of drawing their swords against each other.

Ashina Ni also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his mind immediately began to run wildly, but in an instant, Ashina Ni Yu thought of the rhetoric, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is laughing, how dare Wei Chen tease Your Highness."

It's just that Weichen heard that General Niu also came from the famine in his early years, and the Western Turks have also suffered natural disasters in recent years, so such a mess can't be lost to General Niu.

And let General Niu see the tragic situation of the Western Turks, and he is also worried that General Niu will touch the scene......"

He didn't say anything about the next words, this guy, that is also uneasy and kind, he originally intended to say a few more words to provoke the relationship between Li Chengqian and Niu Jinda, but if he said it again, it would seem that he had too much to say.

Speaking of which, it's just right.

Li Chengqian naturally understood what he meant, and sneered in his heart.

Niu Jinda is indeed a good man from the famine, this guy is indeed a good man, since his son broke his leg, Niu Jinda has really been like a saint all these years.

The family has a little bit of income, and they also helped their old brothers back then.

If there is anyone in Datang who really cares about the stomach problems of the people, he Niu Jinda is indeed one.

But if you want to say that the tragic situation of the Western Turks can make Niu Jinda touch the scene, it is pure!

The old people of their generation are quite interesting, in their eyes, maybe only Han people are people.

Alien?

The alien race is in their hearts, so the fuck is love to death......

It is possible to expect Niu Jinda to touch the scene with them, but it is not so easy.

"There's no need to worry about this Ashina Shangshu." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "This king believes that Niu Daduhu will definitely handle all this, and it is precisely because Niu Daduhu once came from the famine that he can better understand the difficulties of the common people, and he must also treat the people of the Western Turks well."

Niu Dadu protect, this king is not wrong, right? ”

As he spoke, Li Chengqian looked at Niu Jinda again.

When Niu Jinda heard this, he immediately got up and said: "Your Highness has a good reputation, but the old minister is the protector of the Western Regions, and he will indeed pay attention to the people's livelihood first, so that the people can eat well, which is the first responsibility of the old minister, the protector of the Western Regions." ”

"You see, this king is not wrong." Li Chengqian laughed when he heard this, "Ashina Shangshu is still worried? ”

Ashina's heart is bleeding, what the can I say?

Immediately, he had to say with a smiling face: "That official will thank Niu Dadu for the protection of the people of the Western Turks for me." ”

Niu Jinda said politely: "That's what this official should do, no need to thank you." ”

At this point, Niu Jinda admired Li Chengqian so much.

This guy basically arranged everything he could in advance, what else could he say?

In fact, he, like Ashina, was reluctant to go to the Western Turks at first.

However, after going back before, he chatted with Duan Lun, and he felt that he really belonged to him as the protector of the Western Regions.

After all, as long as he serves as the protector of the Western Regions, it can indeed effectively alleviate the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.

There is no doubt about that.

At least for the time being, Li Er will not suspect him of colluding with Li Chengqian.

This is a good thing for both Daming and Datang.

As for whether Ashina will regret it, neither he nor Li Chengqian actually doubted it.

At this juncture, there is really no better way for the Western Turks, if he does not belong to the Ming Dynasty, Li Er will not go north to attack Xue Yantuo so quickly.

And between Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks, it is another game that must be pinched.

No way, there are too many grievances between the two of them.

But under the current circumstances, Li Chengqian will no longer support the Western Turks in terms of armament.

After all, the more fierce the fight between the two countries, the more Da Ming can profit.

That's geopolitics.

"Come on, come on, in order to celebrate Ashina Shangshu becoming my Ming official, come, have a drink." Li Chengqian held the wine glass and said with a smile.

Hearing him say this, everyone immediately picked up their wine glasses with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the heavenly officials of my Ming Officials!" ”

"Congratulations to the heavenly officials of my Ming Ministry of Officials!"

Ashina picked up the wine glass, but he couldn't say the grumbling in his stomach, so he had to drink it all with a smiling face.

After a glass of wine, Li Chengqian patted Ashina's shoulder again and said, "In the future, everyone will be their own people, don't be restrained, come, sit, sit." ”

When everyone heard this, they also shook their heads helplessly.

Today, Li Chengqian can be regarded as teaching them a lesson.

almost pressed Ashina's mud, and arranged it for him properly.

So far, Ashina Ni has not said a word useful.

This may be the so-called means.

Just after everyone sat down, Ashina suddenly said again: "Your Highness, since Weichen is already the official of the Ming Dynasty, I don't know if Weichen can speak?" ”

"That's right." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Ashina Shangshu is now my Ming official, don't say anything, but if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

Ashina Ni immediately took out a piece from his arms, and everyone was immediately stunned, good guy, he really came prepared.

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks so." Ashina Ni took the chapter and said, "Whether it is the official or the Western Turks, they belong to the Ming Dynasty, and they have not made an inch.

However, His Royal Highness is very gracious to both the Western Turks and the officials.

Not only did he promise such a high position as the secretary of the official department, but he also sent His Highness's right-hand man to pass through the Western Turks.

It's really embarrassing for the official.

Therefore, this official is determined that this time, my Western Turks will send troops to attack Xue Yantuo for His Royal Highness, this is the performance of Weichen, and please take a look at it. ”

After speaking, he handed the piece to Li Chengqian with both hands.

Li Chengqian took the concert with a surprised face, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

This bastard, fortunately, he didn't summon him too early, otherwise he would have really gotten his way.

"Ashina Shangshu is really loyal." Li Chengqian said with a regretful face, "If Ashina Shangshu had been on this chapter earlier, then the king of this book would really have the heart to attack Xue Yantuo, after all, he couldn't chill the good intentions of the Western Turks."

But now, I'm afraid it's difficult. ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian shook his head with a regretful face.

"Why is that?" Ashina said, "This time to attack Xue Yantuo, although there are also selfish intentions of Weichen, after all, my Western Turks and Xue Yantuo have been at odds for many years, but this is also to open up territory for my Ming Dynasty, why is it difficult?"

If my Ming court can take the land of Xue Yantuo, even if I compete with the Tang Dynasty, what should I do?

Your Highness, you may not be able to become Your Majesty!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I should take advantage of it. ”

Don't talk about him, the generals in the army, such as He Li and Yi Yuanfeng, are all excited.

Your Highness becomes Your Majesty?

This is from the dragon's work!

Li Chengqian still shook his head, and said with a regretful face: "It's late, it's a few days late, now I, Daming, have signed an arms sales agreement with Xue Yantuo, if I attack Xue Yantuo at this time, how should this king explain to my Daming soldiers?"

If they die on the battlefield under our Ming ordnance, how should this king face their families?

Even if he is a soldier of the Western Turks, isn't he a soldier of my Ming Dynasty?

You must know that the ordnance sold to Xue Yantuo this time is enough to equip their entire army!

If this battle is fought, it will inevitably be a heavy loss......

Ashina Shangshu could not bear to watch his own people fight such a big war? ”

Ashina was stunned, and the whole person was not good.

If Xue Yantuo's whole army was really equipped with the ordnance of the Ming Dynasty, then they would still be a fart.

Originally, they were at a disadvantage in the battle with Xue Yantuo, and if they fought with the heavily armed Xue Yantuo, they were really looking for death.

Thinking of this, Ashina gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, if my Western Turk soldiers are also equipped with my Ming ordnance, even if my Western Turk fights for this old life, I will also help His Highness gnaw the hard bone of Xue Yantuo!" ”

"It's gone......," Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "It's gone, this king has always thought that what Ashina Shangshu said about attachment was a joke, so except for the ordnance of the original army of the Ming Dynasty, all the ordnance was sold."

It will take at least another year to accumulate such a large number of ordnance.

Ashina Shangshu also knows that although this war was won by my Ming Dynasty in the end, this land was almost a famine every year in the past few years, and it was too short of food!

This king can't do it, so he can only sell a large amount of ordnance to raise food for my Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, who in these neighboring countries is willing to sell grain to me Daming?

This king's life is not easy either.

Ashina Shangshu was also the ruler of a country in the past, so he must be able to understand that this king wakes up every day with millions of mouths open to eat, right?

It's hard for this king......"

Ashina was still a little stunned, but when he heard it, he really understood.

Although he did not have a few days as the khan of the Western Turks, he understood what Li Chengqian said.

Indeed, waking up every day with millions of mouths open to eat, that really put a lot of pressure on him.

Perhaps, this is the helplessness of being at the helm of an empire.

At this point, he really didn't have much to say.

Because he is one of the few people present who can understand Li Chengqian's pressure, the other person is Qi Bi He Li.

Seeing Ashina's helpless face, Li Chengqian said again: "No way, Ashina Shangshu is indeed a good intention, but it is really a day late."

The country is so big, there is no faith and no standing, it seems that our Ming Dynasty has lost the best opportunity to expand its territory. ”

Although he said that, he was very proud in his heart.

Can he move Xue Yantuo?

You can move an egg!

Judging from the current situation, Xue Yantuo is Li Er's forbidden belly, Li Chengqian dares to have thoughts about Xue Yantuo, and Li Er must tear him apart alive?

Don't talk about Li Er, half of the Tang Dynasty may have to guard against him Li Chengqian.

What do you want to do? Are you ready to annihilate the Tang Dynasty from the west to the north?

Therefore, it is impossible for Li Chengqian to have any thoughts about Xue Yantuo at all, and he does not dare to have any thoughts about Xue Yantuo.

At least, his current ability is not enough to offend Datang so much.

He Li, Yi Yuanfeng and others also sighed slightly......

It's a pity, this is from the dragon's work.

Of course, they did not persuade Li Chengqian to ascend the throne and become emperor, but Li Chengqian never agreed.

For this, they still understand.

Although there is only a one-word difference between His Majesty and His Royal Highness, it would be a bit funny to let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty inherit the throne of the Tang Dynasty.

If Li Chengqian ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, then he will really not be able to sit firmly in the position of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone is very clear about this.

"Come, come, drink, drink." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, He Li immediately picked up his wine glass and said, "I am the Ming Dynasty, but in just one year, it will be a thousand miles of fertile land, and it is only a matter of time before he goes further, little Xue Yantuo, don't do it." ”

Although he regretted it, he didn't take it too seriously.

Immediately, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere eased again.

On the other side, Chang'an Palace, Liangyi Palace.

Li Er summoned Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others to discuss the matter.

What was discussed was Fang Xuanling's proposal to merge Hezhou and Taozhou into one government.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this matter is okay." Li Xiaogong said, "If Hezhou and Taozhou are combined into one government or together, and the trade with the Ming Dynasty is used, it is indeed possible to pile up a northwest Xiongcheng in a short period of time, and we can also use this to balance the Ming Dynasty."

This is indeed a good thing for me Datang. ”

Li Xiaogong's position is very clear, even if he is Li Chengqian's uncle, he will not easily stand in line.

After all, as the county king of the Tang Dynasty, he really doesn't need to have any idea of taking sides.

As long as he doesn't rebel, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he will sit down!

"There's still a problem." Hearing this, Wei Zheng shook his head.
