In March, the air in Chang'an still carries the breath of winter.

In addition, it snowed again last night, and Li Kuan was even more lazy to go to work in the three provinces.

"Or skip work for a day today."

Eating breakfast and looking at the thin snow in the yard, Li Kuan muttered.

Wu Mei sat next to Li Kuan with Fang Yu's child in her arms, and couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.

"If you let the Imperial Historian know about this attitude, you will be impeached."

Facing his wife's ridicule, Li Kuan sighed and didn't say anything, so he had to pack up his things and prepare to go to work.

The snow on the streets of Chang'an has been almost swept away after a morning, revealing bluestone slabs.

Along the way, Li Kuan saw that many shops had begun to open for business, and children were running unscrupulously on the streets.

Obviously, the cold after the snow did not dampen the children's enthusiasm, on the contrary, it made them happier.

Although he was too lazy to go to work, Li Kuan still came to the three provinces slowly.

He is also a person who has a position in the three provinces now.

As soon as I arrived, all the work was piled up by the officials.

His current work and prison have not changed much.

It is to deal with the affairs of various places from the perspective of the emperor.

After Li Shimin came back, he only took away the title of prisoner, and the others were not withdrawn, and it is not an exaggeration for Li Kuan to say that he is acting for the emperor.

"The Qiang people of the plateau sent people to assassinate the officials of the Western Regions Protectorate."

That's a tricky thing to do.

Li Kuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw his first job.

"The Qiang people want to rebel?"

The Tibetan people on the plateau have now been changed to Qiang people, and they have always been very comforting, and Li Kuan does not understand this twist and turn.

Now the person in charge of the Western Regions Protectorate is Chai Zhewei, the eldest son of Chai Shao, and Li Kuan is a relative.

Hearing Li Kuan's words, Fang Xuanling next to him sighed and said helplessly: "Chai Zhewei is in Chang'an, why don't you call over and ask." ”

It was obvious that Lao Fang knew something, but he didn't bother to say it.

Li Kuan believed that Chai Zhewei was not a second-class product, and it was impossible for him to do something that undermined the unity of the country.

In other words, there is a hidden secret in this matter, and this hidden secret makes Fang Xuanling entangled.

Chai Zhewei came quickly, obviously expected.

"Tell me what's going on."

Li Kuan raised his eyebrows, asked someone to pour Chai Zhewei a cup of tea, and asked suspiciously.

"They want me to build a road for the plateau, a good road that can be passed freely."

"I went to take a look, and at that height, I couldn't do it at all."

Good guy, when Li Kuan heard the word road construction, he knew that it was not bad for Chai Zhewei.

Giving access to the plateau, in this day and age, is really a big problem.

"But if you refuse, it shouldn't be to the point of assassinating you, right?"

"Also, aren't there officials on the plateau, so they didn't help you stop it."

"Or is it that your popularity is too bad."

Li Kuan felt that the problem was wrong, and there should be a big problem hidden in it.

Sighing, Chai Zhewei said helplessly: "At first, they asked me to build roads, but I refused, but it was very tactful, I asked them to go to the villages and villages, build cities, and do a good job in basic education." ”

"The officials above also know the difficulty, and they fool them like this."

"Then the group of Qiang people automatically completed a series of basic tasks."

"When the road was about to be built, the officials above ran away with the achievements of the infrastructure, and the officials who took over the job had not yet arrived."

"The Qiang people think that I fooled them, and now they have access to only one official, so assassinating me, a corrupt official in their eyes, has become the political correctness of the Qiang people."

Good guy, Li Kuan thinks Chai Zhewei is really unlucky.

The group of officials on the plateau shamelessly ran away after the Qiang people completed the infrastructure on their own, which was indeed a bit beyond expectations.

However, if the new officials have not taken office for a long time, the unlucky one is Chai Zhewei, who let the officials on the plateau now return to the Western Regions Protectorate.

Although it was possible to set up a metropolitan palace there, it was shelved due to the high degree of ethnic economic transportation and other reasons.

"Therefore, the Qiang people on the plateau don't want to rebel, and they don't want to make trouble, they just want to kill you."

Li Kuan raised his eyebrows and summed up the situation on the plateau.

Very ruthless summary.

Chai Zhewei nodded with difficulty.

"That's right, they have a good sense of Datang, low taxes, cheap goose seedlings, subsidies that can be received every year, and all kinds of cheap materials."

"These make them full of good feelings for Datang, especially when they catch up with His Majesty to happily distribute snacks."

"They never felt that Datang was cheating them and didn't give them roads to build, because Datang's various subsidies every year were truthfully handed over to them."

"They only think that I, the supreme leader in charge of the plateau, am really a corrupt official and a smoke-stealing existence due to lack of morality."

Chai Zhewei felt that he had died unjustly.

It's nothing to take the blame for the country, but it's so much so that you are secretly killed.

He felt that he should clear his name.

With a long sigh, Li Kuan looked at Fang Xuanling, who had been watching the play next to him: "Can't the Ministry of Industry draw out a group of masters?" ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said with a sigh: "I can't pull it out, there are too many places that need to be built." ”

Li Kuan looked at Chai Zhewei, and before he could say anything, Chai Zhewei hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I really can't continue to take the blame." ”

"Now those Qiang people are not in place, and a series of situations such as the lack of officials in place and the lack of visibility on the plateau roads, it is not an ordinary assassination for me, but a blatant reward."

"As far as I know, a large number of folk righteous people are going to kill me to do the right thing for heaven."

Under Chai Zhewei's story, the Qiang people's hatred for him has reached the level that whoever kills Chai Zhewei is the Qiang half-brother.

The Qiang people have begun to hang a bounty order internally, and everyone has collectively raised funds.

One legendary condor after another is choosing, walking on the road of killing Chai Zhewei.

The officials of the three provinces watching the play next to him looked at Chai Zhewei with pity in their eyes.

They really know how difficult it is to build roads on the plateau.

In the first time when the plateau was subdued, everyone thought about building roads for the plateau.

Because the road is repaired, the dominance of the plateau will be greatly strengthened.

As a result, the master road builders they sent in the past gave up after taking measurements.

The words given at that time were to prepare for a 100-year project.

It has to be mixed with various technical problems.

Then the three provinces gave up.

This kind of road, there is a fart for repairing it, let's talk about it later.

"If you don't build the road, then you can only use my life to top the tank, but if I do, the officials behind me will also have to top."

"If you don't repair it for a day, the Qiang people will not be satisfied."

"Plus they are also the obedient people of Datang now, so we can't give up on them."

Chai Zhewei saw that everyone was silent, and hurriedly spoke.

He kept emphasizing the current level of submission of the Qiang people.

The Qiang people must support Datang for a better life now.

But if they don't build roads for a long time, they will eventually become mustard, and they are not dissatisfied with Datang, but they are not satisfied with Datang's officials, so after a long time, whoever takes over the Qiang people will be unlucky.

Li Kuan and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other and sighed.

Chai Zhewei is very important, and he can't just take it to the top cylinder.

Their idea of making Chai Zhewei the head of the Western Regions Protectorate was very simple, it was to suppress the plateau and the Western Regions.

Chai Zhewei has a good background, good ability, and strong decisiveness, and can quickly solve problems, especially in dealing with local people.

So you can't let Chai Zhewei top the cylinder.

"Then build the road,"

After thinking for a while, Li Kuan slowly spoke.
