In the past month, the countries in the Western Regions can be said to be in a state of crisis and turmoil, but under Cheng Chuliang's policy, many countries have stood up against it.

Officials from various countries in the Western Regions have written to the imperial court, demanding that Cheng Chuliang be punished for this practice, and that this guy be tied up and returned to Chang'an, including his generals Mo Lun and Li Chengyi, who have caused great damage to the countries of the Western Regions, and must not be allowed to continue in this position.

When it was sent to Chang'an, there were indeed many people in the court who stood up and listed the crimes of these three people, but these three people were all subordinate to the Tiance General's Mansion, and now Li Xiang didn't say anything, what are you people standing up for?

Don't look at a group of civil officials beating very strongly, but the final decision-making power is in the Western Regions of the Tiance General's Mansion is beaten down by the people, and these officials are not appointed by others, they were appointed by the imperial court at the beginning, and now something has happened, you want to bypass the Tiance General's Mansion and dispose of these officials without authorization, how can this work?

However, there are more and more officials who have risen up to impeach, and Li Shimin is also under a lot of pressure, and Li Shimin doesn't know much about the things in the Western Regions, and he has always been not very concerned about the kind of places where birds don't.

After the ebb tide, Li Shimin also left the main personnel, especially to ask Li Xiang what was going on, earlier said that he had discovered the army of the Arab Empire, you kid wanted to go to the west one by one, and now he has been in Chang'an City for a few months.

"Tell me yourself, when you were in the court just now, so many people stood up to talk, but you didn't say a word, what you think in your heart, you have to make it clear to me."

Li Shimin said with some anger, this is now this time, if it was the time when he had an awkward quarrel with Li Xiang before, I am afraid that the Tiance General's Mansion would have to be abolished, and you will set up this mansion, you have to do everything that should be done, and now so many ministers have stood up to oppose it, just now in the court, you are silent. ”

Although the other ministers were willing to help, they didn't know much about the situation in the Western Regions, so they were all honestly in their positions.

"Your Majesty, what else is there to say about this, it is obvious that the Western Regions spies have mixed in, you see that these officials who stand up are not all representatives of those old nobles, they must want to take advantage of this matter to do something bad to my Datang, if you want me to say, they should be arrested, tortured, and interrogated severely."

Cheng Biting Jin's son was impeached, so this guy couldn't help it immediately, of course, what he said was also the truth, and the rest of the people also guessed it in their hearts, but in the absence of evidence, who can stand up and talk nonsense, Cheng Biting Jin has no scruples, and he usually has no rules for doing things, and now he says this through his mouth, Li Shimin has to doubt one or two.

"You don't mess around here, your son is presiding over this matter in the Western Regions, isn't it still allowed for others to speak? Is the entire Western Regions your old Cheng family? ”

In total, more than 30 officials have been impeached, and you now attribute these people to the old nobles in one sentence, if you do things in this way, will anyone dare to stand up and speak in the future? These more than 30 people are not all old aristocrats.

"Your Majesty, you can't say that, since I started with Lao Cheng, it was all for His Majesty to take care of the family, how can you say that the entire Western Regions is our family? So many rare treasures are transported from the Western Regions every year, have they all arrived in my storehouse? ”

Cheng Yanjin was anxious when he heard this, although Li Shimin was very relaxed about the ministers below, it didn't mean that you were allowed to form a party for personal gain.

If this hat is buckled on his head, he really can't turn over, don't look at his son-in-law is Li Xiang, if he really has this hat, the first person the Li royal family will deal with him.

"Okay, okay, don't mess around here, I'm asking him."

Li Shimin waved his hand, saying that he understood this matter, there should be the participation of five surnames and seven hopes, of course, the most important thing is Li Xiang's policy in the Western Regions, if there is no problem, how can there be so many people who oppose it, and there are not all old nobles among them, and there are many people who we have promoted.

Everyone's eyes are focused on Li Xiang again, for Li Xiang's policy in the Western Regions, everyone is also in the clouds, when you came back from the Western Regions, you said that you want to carry out a soft policy on the Western Regions, so we don't have many troops stationed in the Western Regions, and now it is suddenly so strict, does this mean that the previous policy has failed?

Looking at the eyes of these ministers around him, and then looking at Li Shimin's appearance of wanting to eat people, Li Xiang had to stand up.

"Back to my grandfather's words, at this time and that time, some things are different from the original, originally my grandson was going to influence the rulers of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, but now it seems that my grandson is probably wrong."

Li Xiang first admitted his mistake, this matter was originally his judgment error, I thought that through long-term probation, these people would be able to join the camp of the Tang Dynasty, who knew that when the hand of the Arab Empire reached out, there were still so many people who chose to stand on the opposite side of us, and they really didn't find out at the beginning.

"Then the knife is going to be used now? Will a dozen cities be destroyed? ”

Li Shimin's words are still full of anger, the contribution of the Western Regions to the entire Chang'an over the years is not small, if you destroy these dozen cities, the money sent over every year will be reduced by a part, and many stalls in the Tang Dynasty have been spread, if you don't have this money, who will you ask for it when the time comes?

"Back to my grandfather's words, this matter is a little excessive, but my grandson is going to use troops against the Western Regions, and the goal is to occupy the Governor's Palace of Anton in the Arab Empire, that is, the city of Samarkand, which is extremely rich, if you can occupy it, the loss of these dozen cities can be made up immediately."

Li Xiang instantly drew a big pie, Li Shimin and some household officials breathed a sigh of relief on their faces, what they wanted was a steady stream of gold and silver treasures in the Western Regions, if there was no such money, then how could many projects be carried out?

As for what the situation was in the Western Regions, they didn't think so much, in their eyes, the real Tang territory was only to Gaochang, and the outside was just a colony!

If it's messy, it's messy, as long as there's no shortage of money.
