Chapter 455
Liu Xie's face turned red and white, and turned white and red.
He already understood that this was the meaning of the eldest princess sister, but the emperor did not object. They didn't want his identity to continue to be so embarrassing, and they had to give him a clear answer immediately. If he wanted to own a world, he would have to conquer himself. If he refused to endure this hardship, then stay in the Central Plains and be a rich and idle person.
Don’t worry about wealth and honor, but the key is idle people.
Similarly, setting the target of conquest in the Western Regions was also the eldest princess' painstaking choice. The Western Regions were thousands of miles away from the Central Plains and were not as rich as the Central Plains. Even if he conquered the Western Regions, he would not be able to affect the country of the Central Plains. The Western General Zhang Liao was the husband of the eldest princess and the confidant of the emperor's brother. With Zhang Liao, no one dared to be detrimental to him. Similarly, it was difficult for him to make any tricks under Zhang Liao's nose.
In this way, there will be no conflict between him and the emperor.
This may be the best solution the eldest princess can come up with, not only to protect his future, but also to avoid the tragedy of brothers fighting each other.
He knew that the eldest princess had always been worried, but he didn't expect it to be so suddenly, and he was mentally prepared. However, he felt relieved immediately. This matter has been in the eldest princess' heart, and it has also been blocked in his heart. If he could make a decision, it would be good.
Liu Xie suddenly calmed down and looked at Liu Bian with a smile: "Brother Emperor, I want to go to the Western Regions, like the Emperor conquering the Xianbei, conquering a world, but I am not strong enough, I wonder if the Emperor can help me?"
The eldest princess also turned her attention to Liu Bian. Liu Xie was telling the truth. He was only twelve years old. What could he do if he put him alone in the Western Regions? At least he had to give him a strong team, which not only ensures his safety, but also allows him to have such strength to conquer.
"Axi. As long as I can do it, I will give you whatever you want." Liu Bian let go of the eldest princess and put his hand on Liu Xie's shoulder. "And, I want to tell you one thing: Don't think that the Western Regions are a small country in the desert. You must look broader. Expand the concept of the Western Regions to the coast of the sea. Kushan, Rest, and even Rome are all part of the Western Regions. Not to mention you, even your descendants, there will be enough room for development."
Liu Xie smiled. Although he smiled a little reluctantly, he finally felt at ease. With Liu Bian's words, he could set off with peace of mind. There is no need to worry about people. As long as he can make the other party obey, Liu Bian would not stop him.
"Since that's the case, can the emperor first familiarize me with the information from the Western Regions?"
"Of course, I'll send it to you when I look back. But you have to be mentally prepared. Recently, there are new news coming every day in Kushan, Anxue, which is enough for you to read for a while."
Seeing Liu Bian, Liu Xie spoke intimately, and the eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief. She put her hands together and prayed secretly to the sky.
...
After the dinner, Liu Xie said goodbye and left. The eldest princess kept Liu Bian and introduced him to the inner room. After asking Liu Bian to attend the banquet, she saluted Liu Bian with a solemn expression. Liu Bian was shocked and quickly helped him up.
"Sister, what's the point? I can't afford it."
"This is a thank you for Ah Xie, and it is also a thank you for the late emperor. I know. Although the late emperor has always been interested in passing the throne to Ah Xie, he still has a father-son relationship with you, and he does not want to see your brothers kill each other."
Liu Bian laughed. He had no impression of what the late emperor had about him. Although Liu Xie was obsessed with the throne, he might not be the case if he had the intention of killing a monarch. After all, he was just a teenage child and his heart was not so vicious. Of course, this only means that if it continues, no one can say it.
Sometimes, the situation is unacceptable, and it is not something that Liu Xie alone can decide.
"Then I want to thank my sister, too." Liu Bian returned the favor solemnly. "My sister helped me solve a difficult problem, and I can leave a good reputation in history."
The eldest princess couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter. In an instant, she seemed to have returned to the scene when the two brothers and sisters were playing carefree in the palace ten years ago. After a while, she put away her smile and reminded: "You should spend more time with the queen. She wants a child and she is almost crazy. Don't let her do stupid things and lose the royal face."
After hearing the princess’ concern, Liu Bian nodded. "Don't worry, sister, I will handle it."
...
When Liu Xie returned to his residence, he saw Zhuge Liang directing some people to arrange the green bags neatly, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"What?"
"The information sent by Shangshu Cai said it was related to the Western Regions." Zhuge Liang was also confused. Cai Yan suddenly sent someone to deliver these things, but he didn't know what the purpose was, and he had to accept them, so he had to go back first and wait for Liu Xie to come back before dealing with it. "Do you want to go to the Western Regions?"
"It's almost the same." Liu Xie stood in front of the information like a wall, and was secretly surprised. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the emperor's brother had made so much preparations for the Western Regions, and collected a whole wall of information alone. He followed the emperor's brother every day during this period, but he didn't notice it at all. It's easy to make up and then make decisions, but it's not that simple to do.
"Kongming, if I go to the Western Regions, would you be willing to go with me?"
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, turned around and took out a green bag, pulled open the wire rope, took out a map from it, and spread it on the table.
"Your Highness said, go to the Western Regions to conquer this world?"
Liu Xie looked at the map, confused. "Where is this?"
"This is the Western Region." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "This is the Western Region that Your Highness wants to conquer. However, it is somewhat different from the Western Region we originally thought." He drew a circle on the map: "The Western Region that is often referred to probably refers to this area. This is the Pamir Mountains, and to the west of the Pamir Mountains, it is the Kushan..."
Looking at Zhuge Liang who was pointing out the country, Liu Xie suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Zhuge Liang's understanding of the Western Regions was much more profound than that of him, and he didn't see any homework. How could he know so much?
"When your highness is worried, I will just look at it." Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I really have the chance to use it."
Liu Xie also smiled at Zhuge Liang's smiling face. He knew that Zhuge Liang was paying attention to the affairs of the Western Regions, so he naturally wanted to make achievements. Under the strong crushing of the emperor, the Yuan brothers were no matches at all, and the country would be unified soon. If you want to make achievements, you can only expand your territory. The Western Regions are the most obvious choice. With Zhuge Liang's intention to be dedicated, it would be strange if he didn't pay attention.
As for whether to follow Liu Bian or Liu Xie to the Western Regions, is there any difference between Zhuge Liang?
Of course, there is no difference between who Zhuge Liang tends to.
"'When the weather is raining, we will be able to make a living in the mulberry area, and we will prepare for the doors', Kong Ming, Your Majesty is right, you are a person who can do great things."
Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed and he said, "Oh, Jia Lingjun just now sent someone to say that some secret spies about the Western Regions were to be handed over to Your Highness, and he hoped that Your Highness would send a suitable person to take over."
Liu Xie pondered for a moment: "Who do you think is better to take over?"
"There is a candidate, but he is still in Shandong. Will Your Highness send someone to invite him?"
"Who is going to send someone to invite me?"
"Because he is still under Cao Cao's command. Cao Cao treats him very well. If Your Highness does not have enough sincerity, he may not be moved." Zhuge Liang smiled: "Your Highness, we are going to fight in the Western Regions. The biggest enemy is not others, but Xi Zhicai. This person's realm may not be as good as Xi Zhicai, but in terms of wisdom, he should be comparable to Xi Zhicai."
Liu Xie was very surprised: "Xi Zhicai is in the Western Regions?"
Zhuge Liang nodded: "When he was in Huming Mountain, the people of Tianshidao said that he and Mrs. Lu went to the Western Regions to find the origin of the Confucian Sect. He may not be able to favor those barbarian kings, but as a foreigner, the best way to get in touch with secret matters is to make friends with the powerful. Xi Zhicai is like a sharp awl, and even if he doesn't want to show his edge, he can't hide it. So I think he is likely to become our most powerful enemy and should make some preparations in advance."
"No matter how strong Xi Zhicai is, how strong can he be than you?"
"In another ten years, I may be able to compete with him, but now I am no match for him."
"Okay, tell me who is the one who can be a rival to Xi Zhicai? I will ask Your Majesty to issue an edict tomorrow and summon him to Chang'an."
"The native of Yangdi, Yingchuan, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao."
...
Dongjun, Puyang.
Guo Jia suddenly jumped up, and all the wine in his hand sprinkled on the front. Cao Cao, who was sitting opposite him, was also startled and asked in surprise: "Fengxiao, what's wrong with you?"
Guo Jia touched his head, looked around in a daze, and it took him a long time to recover. "I just had a nightmare."
Cao Cao laughed: "Yongxiao, although it's too late, but you haven't slept yet, so why do you have nightmares? Tell me, what did you dream of, hahaha..."
"I dreamed of getting off with the general forever."
Cao Cao was stunned and glared: "Are you dead or I dead?"
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment and said, "No one died, but... he just can't see him again. It seems that there is a sea between us. When I look here, I can see the general's figure. When I look there, I can see the general's figure, but I can't see the general's face clearly. I wonder, will that sea be the underworld?"
"Ph! Ph!" Cao Cao spitted twice, "Don't talk nonsense, you are so old that you dreamed of the underworld. Sea..." He pondered for a moment: "Is it a sign of your dream that I am going to go out to sea to conquer? I used to rely on Yuan Shao, but now I have military achievements. In addition, there is a dragon, and going out to sea should be the right end. And if you have poor lungs, you should not go to a wet place, so going out to sea is naturally even more unsuitable. Could it be..."
Guo Jia thought about it and felt something was reasonable, but he was still uneasy. (Want to know more exciting news about "The Three Kingdoms of Myth"?
