I have to say that Qiuci Kingdom is really unlucky.

The territory of Qiuci State borders the territory of Western Turks, and the Byzantine Empire's 500,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army is stationed there. How can they be reassured?

Therefore, the monarch of Kucha Kingdom sent an envoy to negotiate with the Eastern Expeditionary Army, but who knew that this made the Eastern Expeditionary Army target them.

After Bols heard Yang Chao's description of the Tang Dynasty's military strength, he couldn't help but feel great fear of the latter.

At this time, the envoy from Kucha Kingdom happened to arrive, which gave him an idea.

Doesn’t it mean that all the countries in the Western Region combined cannot defeat the Tang Dynasty? Then I will test the waters with a Western Region country first to see how strong these Western Region countries are, and then judge the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

With this idea in mind, Bols decided to order his army to attack Kucha.

On the second day, the Eastern Expedition Army began to attack the Kucha Kingdom, directly attacking the Kucha Kingdom from the border of Western Turks.

The Eastern Expedition of the Byzantine Empire was entirely composed of heavy cavalry. Due to technical limitations, the countries in the Western Regions could not build any tall city walls. Moreover, due to geographical relations, there were many flat areas and few dangerous passes.

In such a situation that was completely conducive to the performance of heavy cavalry, the Qiuci Kingdom's army was no match for the Eastern Expeditionary Army. In just a few weeks, it was attacked all the way to the royal capital by the powerful Eastern Expeditionary Army.

The king of Qiuci was forced to lead his royal family to abandon the country and flee to the Tang Dynasty to seek asylum.

Kucha Kingdom, inside the palace.

Bors was sitting on the throne, looking at the various treasures piled up in the hall, and couldn't help but laugh:"Is this the country in the East? It is too weak! No matter how many such weak countries there are, they are not just us. The opponent of the great empire's Eastern Expeditionary Army! The East is really full of weak countries! Hahaha!"

He had never tried to win a national war so easily. The countries in the Western Regions are all at this level, so he can defeat them. How powerful can the Tang Dynasty be? They're just bugs that are stronger than ants!

"General, it’s not that Kucha is weak, it’s just that you have advantages in location, troops and numbers. The Tang Dynasty is not comparable to Kucha. You must not be careless!"

Yang Chao frowned and reminded, feeling very dissatisfied.

The arrogance of this Boers is really boundless. Defeating a small Qiuci country made him swell like this. If the Western Turks were not destroyed, the Eastern Turks would If the conquest army wants to invade, it will have to lose a lot of troops.

"You think too highly of the Tang Dynasty. When I destroy the Tang Dynasty, you will be able to take revenge for being expelled."

Boers laughed loudly, stood up and patted Yang Chao on the shoulder, then looked at the pile of shining golden treasures in the hall, with a look of greed in his eyes.

"After my general's warriors have rested for a few days, they will begin to conquer the Tang Dynasty!"

……

……

Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.

Due to the heavy snowfall in Chang'an City, the morning meetings for the two days were canceled. The ministers submitted the government affairs to be reported to Li Changqing and Li Xiuning in the form of memorials.

However, although the early court was cancelled, ministers such as Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were still recruited by Li Changqing to do coolies and were brought to Tai Chi Hall to help handle government affairs.

"Your Majesty, you are being lazy."

Looking at the pile of memorials on the desk, and then looking at Li Changqing who was leisurely enjoying the snow by the window, Wei Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Li Changqing did not blush at all, and said confidently:"I am really not good at handling these government affairs. If there are any mistakes, the people will still suffer, so Wei Qing and Xuan Ling are the ones to blame."

This reason is so righteous.

"Let me handle it. He never likes to take care of these government affairs. I am surprised that he can barely hold on for a year without being a hands-off emperor."

Li Xiuning stepped forward and picked up a memorial and said with a smile.

Li Changqing really has a headache with these boring political affairs. Managing Beijing fashion requires the help of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, not to mention the entire Tang Dynasty.

But now she I have gradually become accustomed to the role of the empress of a country, but I find it very interesting to deal with these political affairs. It is really a very fulfilling thing to be able to make the Tang Dynasty prosperous through these decrees.

Political affairs are handled by the three of them. Li Changqing suddenly became free and turned his gaze to the heavy snow outside the window again, his thoughts drifting away.

After a while, he suddenly spoke and whispered:

"The scenery of the North is covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness; the river up and down suddenly stops flowing.

The silver snake dances in the mountains, and the original wax figure wants to compete with God.

On a sunny day, it is particularly charming to see the red clothes and plain clothes.

There are so many beauties in the country that it attracts countless heroes to bow down.

It is a pity that Emperor Qin and Han Wu were slightly less talented in literature; Wei Wu and Sui Dynasty were slightly less elegant.

The genius of the generation, Jieli Khan, only knew how to shoot the wolf with his bow.

It’s all gone! Let’s look at the current situation even if we count the famous figures!"

Looking at the snowy scenery outside the window, Li Changqing couldn’t help but recall his military career in the past few years, and out of emotion, he casually recited Mao Taizu’s Qin Yuan Chun. He recited it, but some details were different.

However, the stern atmosphere of the whole poem remained the same, and it did not decrease by half, so that when he read the second part, his voice unconsciously became louder.

After reciting this poem Finally, a feeling of loss suddenly emerged in Li Changqing's heart, and he was in a daze.

After a while, he shook his head to collect his thoughts and prepared to help handle government affairs. As an emperor of a country, he should strictly discipline himself and not slack off.

But when he turned around, But he saw three pairs of eyes looking directly at him, full of shock and admiration.

"It's all gone, let's count the famous people, let's look at the present! Your Majesty has such a big heart, and none of my ministers can match it!"

Fang Xuanling praised sincerely, his eyes full of admiration. He had been completely impressed by Li Changqing.

Li Xiuning even smiled and said:"Changqing has always had poetic talent, but now he is even better than before!"

"Your Majesty is truly a great talent. This poem is so majestic that only the mind of an eternal emperor could have composed it."

Wei Zheng also said with a smile on his face and cupped his hands.

The reactions of the three people made Li Changqing very helpless, but he did not give any explanation and dealt with it casually. Then he began to help with government affairs.

However, the matter of"King Wu reciting poems on the snow scene" was leaked by a loose-spoken minister named Fang. For a while, a poetry trend was set off in the literary world of the Tang Dynasty. Countless scholars and scholars imitated Li Changqing's poem. Li Changqing was very dumbfounded when he learned about this incident, and fined Fang Xuanling one month's salary as punishment for causing trouble to Wenlin.
