Tang Dynasty: Tubo signed for ten years and returned with millions of troops

It was late at night.

Inside and outside the palace was quiet.

Inside the Temple of Manna.

Except for the crackling of candles, nothing could be heard.

Li Er didn't speak, and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in front of him with deep eyes.

There seemed to be some awkwardness in the atmosphere.

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes turned left and right, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, so he could only wait quietly.

I don't know how long it took.

Li Ercai spoke slowly.

"Mowgli, ......"

"The minister is here!"

"How long have you and I known each other?"

Well?

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned, and his heart became more and more solemn.

Why do you ask about this in a good way?

"Your Majesty, it's been more than 20 years!"

The eldest grandson Wuji replied truthfully.

"Yes, it's been more than 20 years!" Li Er was also quite emotional, nodded and said: "I remember that when I met you, the Sui Dynasty had not even perished, and my father was just a Tang Guogong. In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. "

More than 20 years!

The person in front of him followed me to fight in the east and west, and to fight in the south and in the north, without the slightest complaint.

When I was at my most critical, he helped me seize the throne and planned everything behind me.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's benevolence and kindness, Weichen has everything he has today. "

The eldest grandson Wuji slapped his ass quietly.

"Yes, that's why you are pampered and arrogant, and you have no king's law. "

Li Er's words slowly reached the ears of the eldest grandson Wuji, like a thunderbolt from the sky!

"Your Majesty!?"

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of fear, and he hurriedly saluted.

"Even if Weichen has a big burden, he doesn't dare to fall out of favor and be proud, and he has no king's law!"

"Hmph, is it?" Li Er smiled coldly and continued to ask: "Wuji, do you and I really have to be suspicious of this? If you tell the truth, maybe we still have a chance to redeem it." If we continue to hide it, maybe the relationship between us for more than 20 years will be in vain. "

"Why did Your Majesty say this? What did Weichen do wrong? Please make it clear to Your Majesty!"

The eldest grandson Wuji was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth.

Can't admit it!

You can't even admit to death!

It must not be like His Majesty to admit that he forced Qin Mu to rebel in the Zhao State Mansion at the beginning!

If you admit it, it will be a catastrophe!

The eldest grandson Wuji knows better than anyone else in his heart.

The most fundamental reason for everything that Datang has experienced now is that he was proud of his own achievements!

It was because he looked down on Qin Mu too much and said so many insulting words.

also wanted to buy his champion position with 100 taels of silver!

Isn't that a humiliation?

A talent like Qin Mu was humiliated by himself with 100 taels of silver.

If Li Er knew about this matter, maybe his head would move immediately.

However, the reason why Eldest Sun Wuji is so insistent is that he certainly has enough confidence.

Everyone who knew about this matter that night, and everyone who had witnessed Qin Mu come to the Zhao State Mansion, were all killed by him!

Other words.

Now in this world, only the eldest grandson Wuji and Qin Mu know all the truth!

Unless Qin Mu said it himself, it would be absolutely impossible for Li Er to know these things.

Take 10,000 steps back.

Even if Qin Mu said it himself, what would it do?

Without any corroboration, what Qin Mu said was revenge for personal gain!

Not only does it have no effect, but it will make the eldest grandson Wuji even more aggrieved!

I have to say.

In terms of intrigue and intrigue, Eldest Sun Wuji is indeed a genius among geniuses!

Do things without leaks!

"And let me make it clear?" Li Er looked at the hard-mouthed appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji's dead duck, and he was angry, and continued to ask: "I asked you, what did you say when I asked you to persuade Qin Mu?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen just told him the truth according to His Majesty's instructions, telling him that this time the position of champion does not belong to him, and His Majesty also has His Majesty's hardships, but it is just ......"

"What is this?"

"It's just that Wei Chen told Qin Mu that it was because the family's position in the imperial court was too large, and it was impossible for them to tolerate people like you to hinder the promotion of their family's juniors. "

"What did you say!?"

Hearing this, Li Er's face turned white in an instant.

No wonder!

No wonder!

It turns out that the reason for everything is here!

Li Er suddenly realized.

According to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, he guessed a rough idea.

Qin Mu couldn't tolerate the family, and he couldn't see a bright future.

He has the talent of a unicorn, but he can't apply what he has learned.

Countless families pressed on his head like mountains.

Since there is no hope in Datang, it is better to do the opposite!

This should be what Qin Mu thought at that time.

No wonder he hates the family to the core!

It turns out that this is the reason!

Through the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, combined with Qin Mu's previous behaviors, Li Er thought that he had found the real answer.

"Why didn't you tell me about this in the first place?"

Li Er complained a little.

But he's just saving face!

To put it bluntly, I just want the eldest grandson Wuji to take the blame.

In fact, even if it is said, so what?

Can it change everything?

Can you eradicate the family?

How can it be?

All this is irreparable!

"Weichen should be damned! I was also scared at the beginning, and I was afraid that it was because of my own mouth that I caused all this. "

The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his head and looked guilty.

"Alright, you go down!"

Li Er waved his hand, not wanting to say anything more to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Now that the matter has been figured out, there is no need to blame him more.

What the eldest grandson Wuji said is indeed good.

The family can't tolerate people!

Even if Qin Mu enters the court, he will be suppressed.

It's a fact.

A fact that no one can change.

"Wechen retires!"

The eldest grandson Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly withdrew from the Manna Palace, but he was full of worries in his heart.

Today, His Majesty should never mention this matter again.

But!

Qin Mu still has to be eliminated!

This son must not be kept!

His scheming, as well as his means and scheming, are rare figures for hundreds of years.

As long as Qin Mu lives for a day, the old man will not be at peace for a day!

Youzhou City, temporary palace.

Qin Mu stood in the main hall.

A huge map of the world hangs from top to bottom in the middle of the main hall.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xueyan, Wu Meiniang, Changle and others stood quietly behind Qin Mu.

It's been a while since I came to Youzhou.

After such a long period of development and construction, Youzhou City, which has been reborn from the ashes, has reached a certain scale.

Qin Mu spent a lot of effort in order to build this city.

Tens of thousands of skilled craftsmen and hundreds of thousands of people were ordered to build together, expanding Youzhou City more than ten times on the original basis!

What is this concept?

It is to expand an originally small city outward by more than ten times!

The current area of Youzhou City is almost comparable to that of Chang'an City.

The pattern of construction was also designed by Qin Mu himself.

Youzhou City is full of vitality.

Of course.

Of course, the expansion of Youzhou City also has some hidden dangers.

For example, the distribution of personnel caused by the large size of the city is insufficient, and in some places there is a large shortage of population resources.

The pedestrians on the streets are also depressed.

After all, as the area of the city expanded, the population density naturally diluted.

In addition, Youzhou City has experienced two Turkic invasions, and the people have suffered countless casualties, and it is naturally not so simple to replenish the population.

Besides.

The economy of Youzhou City has also been devastated.

All kinds of resources have been snatched up.

The people bartered and had no money in their hands.

If it weren't for the strong national strength and abundant resources of Great Qin, it is estimated that it would not be able to withstand the needs of the people in such a large area as the northern border.

But even if you have a lot of money, if you eat it like this, it won't last long.

Therefore.

The immediate priority is to restore the economy and agriculture in Youzhou and other places!

Only when these two things are restored can the north be truly restored.

However, the good news is that many people from the Tang Dynasty have recently moved here with their families.

Although the number of people is not large, if it continues like this, it can also relieve some of the pressure on Youzhou City.

"Mother, my brother-in-law has been staring at this world map for almost an hour, what is he looking at?"

Changle asked boredly.

"What do you know, girl? You know how to eat, drink, and be merry all day long, and you don't care about any national affairs. "

The eldest grandson gave Changle a white look.

"Sister Changle, my husband is looking at the general trend of the world.

Our territory of Daqin is getting bigger and bigger, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger, but there are more and more opponents.

In addition to the Tang Dynasty, there were also the Boros Empire and the Roman Empire in the west, the Jieri Dynasty and the Siamese Empire in the south, and Goguryeo and Dongying in the east, the strength of these empires should not be underestimated.

Sister Changle, do you look at Daqin's current territory, does it look like a hook?"

Wu Meiniang next to her patiently explained.

Hearing this, Changle observed carefully.

Starting from the Tubo Plateau and Tuyuhun, further north is the long Hexi Corridor and the Western Regions.

The Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor are connected to the Northern Border, isn't it like a hook?

"Hey, Mei Niang, don't say it, it's really like a hook. "

Changle said curiously.

The eldest grandson Wujian and Li Xueyan also nodded unconsciously.

They didn't notice it either.

"That's right! Great Qin's territory is long and narrow, which means that the contact area with neighboring countries will increase, and the strength of defense will be greater. "

"Although our Great Qin is currently strong, if we disperse our forces to various places to defend, our strength is actually not abundant. "

"Husband may be thinking about this as well, right? But this is just my guess. "

Wu Meiniang looked at Qin Mu who was standing in front of the world map and said softly.

Li Xueyan and Eldest Sun Wujian glanced at each other, with a complicated look in their eyes.

Mei Niang is really a born politician!

It's hard to think about that.

More than once, it was even more terrifying.

Before she met Qin Mu, Mei Niang had never been involved in politics!

It's an innate talent!
