The Tang Dynasty has since become Li Longji's son-in-law, in the deep palace, the elderly Wei Jian sat in front of Li Longji, tears flowing: "Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal, I can't imagine that the emperor really allowed his heart to be given to the Tang Dynasty like this, won't you regret it?" ”

This old minister, who has been demoted as prime minister, didn't know that he appeared here, with an unusually sad and angry look.

"Wei Aiqing, you don't have to be sad, the reason why I promised the Tang Dynasty this time is not that I can't believe you, but that I lost to him in the competition, and promised to pardon him for all his crimes, I am the emperor, and I can't break my word to the people of the world, you can rest assured, I will closely monitor the Tang Dynasty according to your wishes, I also know that he is very likely to be an undercover agent sent to my Tang Dynasty by Li Gesang, but this is nothing, no matter how powerful a person is, there will always be a time when something goes wrong, hum, maybe he thinks now that he is my concubine, I will let him go, but he was wrong, I will never change my strategy towards him, when I first met him, I knew that this son must be very human, he dared to cut off the iron captain, to complete my will, since then, I have paid close attention to him, and later sent him to the mountains to ask for rain, just want to kill it directly, so as not to leave future troubles, I didn't think that this person has the ability to seize the heaven and earth, and actually asked for rain, so he later dismissed his official and let him go to Lingnan to be a festival envoy, not a military salary, in fact, the purpose has not changed, that is, to cut him off, but this person is really powerful, actually defeated Meng Xiao in that situation, I know that Meng Xiao's ability is very powerful, until I lose to him in the martial arts competition now, all of this is the achievement of this person who goes against the sky! I heard the ancients say that it is ominous against the sky, such a person may not be worthy of death, Wei Xiangye, think about it, I can't really kill him for no reason, so that the hearts of the people in the world are scattered? ”

"Yes, the emperor, you are a kind king, but, as the saying goes, loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, such a person in the Tang Dynasty, from Nanzhao, even if he is not a spy, but he cannot be entrusted with important tasks, the old minister heard that you have appointed him as the protector of Anxi, but you have to guard against him in military power and make a rebellion?" Wei Jian was worried.

Li Longji laughed: "Please rest assured, you sacrificed your position as prime minister to show me loyalty, I am convinced, I also see the Tang Dynasty as a demon all the way, even if he makes great contributions, he will not believe him after all, please rest assured, but what you are worried about just now is not necessary, because he will never make a rebellion, and this is a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Could the emperor please be more detailed?"

"It's easy! Gao Xianzhi has been in the Western Regions for many years, holding military power for a long time, deep-rooted, he has repeatedly made great contributions, soldiers with their lives, although it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, since there is no need to worry about the army causing trouble in the world, but once the world changes, it is a big bane, so I transferred him back to the imperial court, and by the way, he transferred his elite soldiers to guard Meng Xiao, I heard that after the Tang Dynasty class, he was ready to move in Lingnan, as for the Tang Dynasty, after arriving in the Western Regions, there were no good soldiers, and there must be no grain and grass, or the same as when he went to Lingnan, the situation in the Western Regions, It's complicated, most of the time it is by force to solve the problem, and once he has a small defeat, I can issue an order to remove him from his official position, and I don't need to use it, I heard that his poetry is good, and when the time comes, he will be treated as a person like Li Bai, and this girl in my family must also like it, because my husband is by his side every day, isn't it wonderful? ”

"The emperor is clever, and the old ministers admire!" Wei Jian praised from the bottom of his heart, knowing that the emperor would definitely pick the bones in the eggs of the Tang Dynasty, his heart finally fell.

In his opinion, it was the Tang Dynasty that squeezed him out of the position of prime minister, and it was the Tang Dynasty that sent people to assassinate him twice, precisely because he felt threatened, and later resigned, but also because of the poison in his body, he had to take the method, although the position of prime minister was tempting, it was not as precious as his life, and he himself thought that the Tang Dynasty had given him the antidote, and he would wait to see the jokes of the Tang Dynasty in the future. But what made him even more unexpected was that the Tang Dynasty had already seen his treacherous scheme, and knew that this old man was uneasy and kind to himself, and the antidote given last time was not enough, and a year later, he would be poisoned to death.

Sure enough, Wei Jian died of a violent illness a year later, and his family mourned, but no one expected that this was because of poison, and his son Wei Jiansu was gradually favored by Li Longji.

Of course, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to know that Li Longji and Wei Jian are calculating him like this behind his back, he is just the intuition of a traverser, knowing that a person like Wei Jian who is hungry for power will not easily give up the phase, there must be a reason for it, so he left a hand, if I am abnormal in the future, he will still honor his promise to hand over the antidote to Wei Jian, to put it bluntly, it is just to pay the antidote in installments-

On the fifteenth day after the Tang Dynasty's wedding, Li Long Keelong's announcement that Gao Xianzhi and the Tang Dynasty's official positions were exchanged, and it took effect immediately.

It was also at such a time that the Tang Dynasty saw Gao Xianzhi, who was indeed a brother to Gao Xianling, both of whom looked like tigers and bears, and looked mighty, unlike Gao Xianling, this person's eyes were shining, as if they were stars of light, which was very dazzling.

The Tang Dynasty knew at a glance that this person was practicing Taoist kung fu, his eyes were like steel knives, like substance, and his martial arts were unfathomable.

Just when Li Longji announced the news to the courtiers at the court, in the mansion of the Tang Dynasty, there was a strangely dressed Hu man, the leader of which had a deep temperament, about forty years old, with a fierce face, and the name card presented to the special letter read, "The Great Turkic Xiaoshan Yu Xingan!" ”

The Tang Dynasty was very depressed in the next dynasty, unexpectedly met this person at the door, strange in his heart, took the name of the post and looked at it, immediately treated him with courtesy, he knew that since it was a small single Yu, then the Turkic throne must be inherited by him in the future, and his status was very high.

The Tang Dynasty introduced it into the house, and saw that this little Shan Yu Xingan had light and swift steps, steady steps, and a very peculiar temperament, these two completely different temperaments actually appeared in a person's body, and it was not surprising to know that he was practicing a peculiar martial arts in the Western Regions.

You must know that at that time, there were many countries in the Western Regions, such as Bosi, Dashi, Tianzhu, Turkic, Tubo, etc., each country had its own national martial arts, and because of frequent wars, the martial arts exhibition was very fast, and the actual combat ability was particularly strong.

"I don't know if Xiao Shan Yu arrived, he missed the distance, and I ask for forgiveness?" The Tang Dynasty called people respectfully serve tea.

Xiao Shan Yu Xingan said: "Where do you say it, it is a great honor for Xiao Wang to be received by Tang Dashuai, please step back and tell me about it!" ”

The Tang Dynasty immediately repelled the left and right, only him and Xin Gan, and then said: "Xiaoshan entered Beijing for thousands of miles to see the boy, I don't know what is important?" ”

Seeing that there were only two of them, Xiao Shan Yu let go of half of his heart, took out a vermilion seal ribbon from his arms, handed it to Tang Chao and said: "Xiao Wang heard that last year, when Tang Dashuai was still a waiter in the Yellow Gate, he received a pearl from others to frame you, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, there is." Tang Chao was surprised, he didn't expect this person to be so familiar with the imperial court.

I listened to Xin Gandao: "So, Xiao Wang didn't prepare a gift this time, but my identity must be verified, please see, this is my prince seal, with this, it is enough to show my identity!" ”

The Tang Dynasty has never seen the prince and the seal, take it over and take a closer look, it is made of a delicate piece of jade, engraved with strange words, but the texture is exquisite, at a glance it is not vulgar, and it is now in the hands of Xin Gan: "Okay, Ben Shuai has already believed in the identity of Xiao Shan Yu, what is the matter, but it doesn't matter." ”

He was unwilling to admit his ignorance in front of the Turkic people, so he pretended to understand everything.

Xiao Shan Yu cleared his throat and said in an official dialect that was not very proficient: "Tang Dashuai, Xiao Wang returned to Beijing with Gao Dashuai this time, I want to ask you for one thing and ask for your help." ”

Here, the tricky thing is coming, Tang Chao thought, before he took office, someone has come to Chang'an to look for me, it seems that the affairs of the Western Regions are indeed very complicated, and it is indeed not easy to deal with it!

"What's the matter?" He really wanted to hear it, this little single Yu didn't say it again and again, it seems that the matter is serious.

"Tang Dashuai, my Turks used to have wars with the Tang Dynasty, but after so many years, there was no war, this is all due to the mutual understanding of Gao Xianzhi, I don't know if Tang Daren can enter into a non-aggression treaty with the Turks, in that case, we can cooperate."

It turns out that this is the case, non-aggression against each other, but these Turks, who are good at war and skilled in bows and horses, often raid the border passes of the Tang Dynasty, and sign a treaty to stop the invasion?

But although Tang Chao didn't believe it, he still nodded and said: "Xiao Shan Yu's idea is indeed good, however, I have just taken office as the protector of Anxi, and I haven't learned the details yet, and I can't immediately sign any agreement with Xiao Danyu, but one thing is certain, in the near future, the Tang Dynasty will never have to use troops against the Turks." ”

Xiao Shan Yu saw that Tang Dynasty spoke dryly, nodded and said: "Very good, I understand Tang Dashuai's thoughts, you are a serious gentleman, you have to think twice about everything, this is an advantage, but please also ask Tang Dashuai to think about it, I am a Turkic Xiao Shan Yu, with a noble status in the country, and dare to come out and talk to Tang Dashuai about forming an alliance, just because I trust Tang Dashuai to be a gentleman, I also know now that you don't know me well, and you can't make rash judgments, so Xiao Wang is ready to go to the Western Regions with Tang Dashuai, When the time comes, please send a capable subordinate to my Great Turkic State to negotiate with my father Khan, and in the future, support each other and dominate the trade of the Western Regions! ”

Trade! Oh, it turns out that that's all that matters!

You must know that the trade on the border, the interests are so great, it is unimaginable, as early as when Zhang Qian passed through the Western Regions, the Silk Road has been formed, and the camel caravan of merchants walking on the road from Xinjiang to Tianzhu is endless, and it is the most important traffic channel in the Western Regions.

You must know that in all dynasties, trade and business is a very profitable industry, not to mention the caravan with camel teams to the Western Regions, bringing the special products of the Tang Dynasty, such as silk, porcelain, zodiac brocade cotton, etc., to the countries of the Western Regions, which are strange goods to live in, almost comparable to gold, and earn a lot of profits. During the Tianbao period, many camel teams had to buy countless horses when they returned, because they made too much money, they could only use camels to load gold and silver, and use the newly bought horses to load various specialties of the Western Regions, and return to the Tang Dynasty to make a profit.
