When the eldest grandson Wuji and the others were discussing the future development direction of Taohe County in Taozhou Mansion.

Li Yuanjing had already returned to Qingshuichuan, and on the same day announced that more than eighty percent of the land of Qingshuichuan would be ceded to the Ming Dynasty, in order to express the apologies of the people of the Zhao Dynasty for taking children captive in the Sun Moon Mountain.

This news was like a raging wind, and in a very short period of time, it drifted from the court of the Great Zhao Dynasty to the county of Douhe and even the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

The first to receive the news was naturally Changsun Wuji and others.

At this time, they were still discussing the future development direction of Taohe County, and when they heard the news, everyone was stunned for a moment.

But only for a moment.

Soon, they were relieved.

Li Yuanjing is indeed not in the climate, and it is not surprising that they chose to rely on Li Chengqian at this time.

Speaking of which, the development of Qingshuichuan in recent years is not as good as their Taohe County.

Of course, they also know that the person who really dragged Qingshuichuan from developing for several years happened to be Li Chengqian.

Li Yuanjing can figure it out, but they, the old foxes of the Tang Dynasty, don't understand their ideals.

After all, where does the remnant of Tuyuhun have this ability, if he really has this ability, Li Chengqian will not be so easy to get it.

Besides, this Qingshui River was originally in Li Chengqian's bag, if it weren't for Li Yuanjing's cross-fork, Qingshui River would have become the territory of the Ming Dynasty long ago.

At this point, it's just a matter of returning things to their original owners.

But just when they were thinking like this, a news came from the Ming Dynasty, but it completely made everyone unable to sit still.

"County guard, news came from Sun Moon Mountain, King Ming sent an order to the world, saying that it was the Ming Dynasty, the dignified overlord of the Western Regions, how could he covet the territory of the surrounding countries.

However, King Zhao's attitude was resolute, and Daming could not shirk it, so from now on, he will pour the east of Hehe County, the east of the river, and the west of the river...... and other places were presented to the royal court of Da Zhao. ”

As soon as he heard this, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately stood up: "Kanyutu!" ”

He suddenly realized what the problem was.

Soon, someone brought up the map.

And Chu Suiliang and others immediately surrounded them, but as soon as they looked at them, everyone was immediately shocked.

Although they had guessed something when they heard the names of the places, when they saw them with their own eyes, they were still stunned.

If everyone had speculated about Li Yuanjing's movements before, then Li Chengqian's reaction was unexpected by everyone.

This is not to say that Li Chengqian's actions will have much impact on Datang, but Li Chengqian's attitude.

You must know that in this way, after the treaty port is removed between Daming and Datang, there is really no intersection at all.

And at this moment, Wei Chi Jingde strode in, and said with an indignant face: "What is this called, the old man has just deployed troops at the border, and King Zhao has come, what do you want me to do now?" ”

Since the news of the fall of Tubo came, Wei Chi Jingde has deployed heavy troops on the border of Tang Ming, although it is only an attitude to Li Er, but it also has the meaning of deterring the Ming Dynasty.

But now that Li Yuanjing is here, who will he threaten?

It took a long time to work hard, but he hit the cotton with a fist, and he really felt aggrieved by this feeling.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Wu Guogong is angry, since he is here, then we will make a move, why do we have to make a response?" ”

"Coping? How to deal with it? When Wei Chi Jingde heard this, his face was unhappy, "It's not enough to let the old man send troops to enter King Zhao's territory, right?" ”

As soon as he heard him say this, the eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Why not?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

"No, Changsun Junshou, although this King Zhao is my Tang royal family, but now that he has become independent, if we rush into the army, if he makes trouble to His Majesty, Your Majesty is afraid that it will not be easy to do, right?

Especially when the Emperor Taishang has just died, His Majesty also has to take care of some things, I'm afraid that we will have to eat melons when the time comes. ”

Xu Jingzong immediately said.

He has always been cautious, although he has climbed onto the big ship of Changsun Wuji this time, it does not mean that he approves of all the practices of Changsun Wuji.

There are some things that the eldest grandson Wuji can do, but he can't.

When the trouble really reaches the point where it can't be controlled, he may become the discarded pawn at any time.

Don't look at what kind of eighteen bachelors he is, in Li Er's eyes, how many eighteen bachelors add up, and none of the eldest grandson Wuji is worth anything!

Chu Suiliang twisted his beard and said: "This thing may not be impossible, first of all, we have to figure out King Zhao's intention to do this, in fact, dealing with King Zhao is much simpler than dealing with that one."

Moreover, presumably King Zhao doesn't want to be sandwiched between those two, right? ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said, "That's the reason, as for King Zhao's intentions, in fact, what can he do?"

In the past few years, I have been overwhelmed by Daming, and Qingshui River has basically not developed in recent years, and even the people in the territory are still struggling to make a living, so this time I must have been forced to do nothing by that one.

Yes, if my Datang settles in his Great Zhao Court at this time, he will definitely be willing.

Otherwise, he alone will fight against the Ming Dynasty, can he bear it? ”

"Then what if this is something that King Zhao and that person have discussed early on?" Cui Mingyuan said, "Judging from this map, the lower officials think that this is the plan of those two, after all, although the current Great Zhao Dynasty is long, it is more difficult to develop than it was at the beginning."

Moreover, it happened to cut off the connection between Daming and Datang, if this was not intentional, the old man would not believe it. ”

"What about intentionality?" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, "Is it he, Li Yuanjing, who dares to admit it, or is it the one who dares to admit it?" We entered the Great Zhao Wangting this time, and he Li Yuanjing didn't dare to say much.

If he was persecuted by that person, he would naturally treat us as a guest, and if they did it on purpose, he would not dare to let me know about it, so he would have to treat us as a guest.

After all, Datang is not something he can exonerate. ”

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, everyone fell into a short period of contemplation.

Indeed, what the eldest grandson Wuji said is not unreasonable.

No matter how Li Yuanjing's current situation is formed, he can't afford to offend Datang.

Even if he and Li Chengqian had any plans, before it was successful, Li Yuanjing had to leave a way out for himself.

If you really want to go your own way to death, now that Li Yuan has also died, if Li Chengqian makes a mistake in the future, it will not be as simple as being imprisoned.

"Then should we send someone to inform first?" After a while, Chu Suiliang said, "After all, if we rush into the Great Zhao Palace, it will inevitably attract criticism. ”

"It's natural." The eldest grandson Wuji said, "In this way, you continue to discuss, the old man and Wu Guogong will go to meet King Zhao together, and Xu Juncheng will record it, and it will be played in Chang'an in the near future." ”

As the feudal officials of the Tang Dynasty, if they leave their own land to meet the king of another country, they will naturally report to the imperial court.

Wei Chi Jingde didn't say anything when he heard this, and a trip to the Great Zhao Royal Court was not a big deal for him.

Moreover, although he didn't open his mouth much, he could still understand the hand that Li Chengqian and Li Yuanjing played.

After some rough preparations, the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Chi Jingde immediately left.

And the rest of the people were embarrassed.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I am speechless for a long time.

If the Ming threat theory proposed by Changsun Wuji was just a statement, now, the Ming threat theory should really be put on the agenda.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid this Taohe County won't be able to live in peace in the future." Chu Suiliang said, "The purpose of that move, the purpose has been clearly revealed, if we don't react, what kind of conflict will Tang Ming really set off in the future, and how should we deal with ourselves?" ”

"If that day really comes......" Xu Jingzong said for a long time, but he still didn't say a reason after all.

Those two really want to fight, and Taohe County doesn't know how many pond fish are going to be affected.

"Ladies and gentlemen." After pondering for a moment, Xu Jingzong said, "It's time for Taohe County to change. ”

"How?" Yang Tingshi asked, "If you need the cooperation of this official, this official will definitely cooperate." ”

He and Sun Tingshi were actually the most difficult to be present, after all, although the two barely had an intricate relationship in Taohe County, once it came to the dispute between Tang Ming, their intricate relationship seemed like a joke.

Xu Jingzong and Cui Mingyuan may have other choices, but for them, they really have no choice.

If the Tang Ming dispute really happened in the future, they would be the first pond fish to be affected.

So now, they only have one way, hug the thighs of the eldest grandson Wuji!

"Naturally, we need Yang Tingshi's cooperation." Xu Jingzong saw him speak, and said, "Although the Changsun County Guard proposed to enter the Great Zhao Army before, this matter will not be mentioned for the time being, after all, the Changsun County Guard and General Wei Chi have just gone, and it is difficult to say what the specific result will be."

And if Datang wants to benefit from the Great Zhao Palace, it is not only a way to enter the army, on the contrary, commerce is also a road.

Although the Great Zhao Wangting itself has no commercial foundation.

But in this way, the court of the Great Zhao Dynasty was in the middle of the Tang and Ming Dynasty, blocking the exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, it was actually cutting off the trade between the East and the West.

For example, if the merchants of Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom want to enter the Ming Dynasty, they will not all enter and exit from the port, right?

And if the countries of the Western Regions want to enter the Tang Dynasty, they will not all detour through the port.

This is the opportunity of the Great Zhao Palace.

Perhaps, under this opportunity, it is really possible for the Great Zhao Dynasty to develop, after all, they occupy too important geographical locations.

And I, Datang, can't I take advantage of this to seize the opportunity.

In the future, by closing Taoyuan City, we will almost be able to cut off the east-west exchanges between the Ming Dynasty.

Although Daming's move effectively avoided the conflict between Tang and Ming, there was always a trade-off between gains and losses. ”

Xu Jingzong is indeed called an old fox.

It was only a moment to sort out the benefits of this move to Datang.

If the Ming Dynasty can be cut off from the east and west, it can greatly reduce the influence of the Ming Dynasty in the southeastern countries.

In recent years, with the strong rise of the Ming Dynasty, although the southeastern countries have missions to the Tang Dynasty every year, they have also sent missions to the Ming Dynasty every year!

This is undoubtedly competing with Datang for the influence of neighboring countries.

For Datang, this is not a good thing.

If he makes achievements in this matter, he will definitely be able to put his name on Li Er.

Xu Juncheng laughed. When Yang Tingshi heard this, he also smiled and said, "If it is commercial, why does Xu Juncheng need our cooperation?" ”

What are you kidding, now the business owners of Taohe County are divided into two parts, one is the Taohe business, which is held to death by the eldest grandson Wuji.

There is also a piece of various workshops, which were caught by Xu Jingzong.

What do they do?

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Yang Tingshi is modest, as the assassin history of Taozhou Mansion, Yang Tingshi is afraid that there is still something to do with it, right?"

In this regard, Yang Tingshi's support is still needed. ”

As soon as he heard Xu Jingzong's words, he immediately understood that he wanted to take advantage of his relationship in Taohe County.

Of course, it is unknown whether he thought that this was Xu Jingzong pulling a cushion.

……

On the border of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Chi Jingde and the eldest grandson Wuji are waiting for news.

They had already sent someone to the territory of Da Zhao to send a message to Li Yuanjing, and they could only wait at this time.

Of course, as a sign of respect, they deliberately waited at the border.

"Is the message you received reliable?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked on his horse.

Wei Chi Jingde smiled: "Do you suspect something else?" If the old man's news is wrong, then what face is there to stay in this position?

What qualifications do you have to lead soldiers to fight, it's better to go home and milk the doll.

Don't worry, Li Yuanjing is thirty miles away from the Tang Dynasty, and I don't know what I'm doing at this time. ”

The relationship between the two of them has not been harmonious.

The eldest grandson Wuji hated Wei Chi Jingde even more, and hated poison.

Because Wei Chi Jingde likes to expose people's shortcomings, he is really unpleasant among civil officials.

Of course, both of them are very deep people in the city, and that little contradiction is not enough to hang on their faces.

"What does Wu Guogong think of His Highness's actions this time?" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"What do you think?" Wei Chi Jingde smiled, "It's just a little trick, don't you understand?" ”

"I see, I see." The eldest grandson Wuji said, shook his head, and said, "But I don't understand, why His Highness is so wary of Datang?"

It stands to reason that it shouldn't, with his current status, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, the future position is definitely his. Why did he bother?

Moreover, for so many years, the old man always felt as if His Highness had been preparing for all this for a long time. ”

"All this?" Wei Chi Jingde frowned when he heard this.

"Yes, that's it." The eldest grandson Wuji said, "The old man always has a feeling that His Royal Highness seems to have known something for a long time, and he has been guarding against Datang, and even against His Majesty."

Even, from the time he made a fuss in the Taiji Palace, it seemed that he was deliberately paving the way for all this.

Didn't Wu Guogong notice it? ”

Hearing him say this, Wei Chi Jingde was also stunned, and the whole person even trembled, he was indeed taken aback!

I immediately remembered it in my mind.

Not to mention, if from the beginning of the Taiji Hall to the present, everything that happened during this period seems to be really connected.

Especially His Royal Highness's wariness of the long-standing existence of the Tang Dynasty is really nowhere to be found.

"It shouldn't." Wei Chi Jingde shook his head after all, "If His Royal Highness is now on guard against the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, this old man can understand."

After all, this is normal, there is nothing to say.

Not to mention that we can understand it, even His Majesty can probably understand it.

After all, his current power is too great and has threatened His Majesty's imperial power.

But if you want to say that the scene that came out in the Taiji Hall was for today, the old man didn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it at all.

How old was His Highness at that time? Do you have such a mind? ”

As he spoke, Wei Chi Jingde's head shook like a rattle.

It doesn't make sense at all.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't speak anymore when he heard this, and he wasn't sure, he was just so suspicious.

But this is indeed the case.

It's just that the evidence is lacking.

"Forget it, let's solve the trouble in front of us first." After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, "If this news is transmitted back to Chang'an, Your Majesty may not know what to think, hey...... What's it called? ”

With that, both of them were silent, and neither of them spoke.

At this stage, things are actually beyond anyone's control.

Whether it's them, or Li Er, or Li Chengqian.

What they are doing now is just what a Tang courtier should do.

As for saying that they are targeting Li Chengqian, that does not exist.

To put it bluntly, in a word, the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the monarch is nothing more.

If they could, they would not deliberately target Li Chengqian.

Now that Li Chengqian's power is monstrous, the possibility of ascending to the great treasure in the future is extremely great, who dares to bury such a big hidden danger for himself?
