The indoor warmth is like spring.??? ?

Li hugged Qingluan in his arms, and he lowered his head and his eyes fell on her face. "Stay here, don't go back. Take our daughter Ling'er, too, we can live here. Here, Ling'er can be happier and safer, okay?"

"Ling'er is my daughter. She is destined to become the king of the Kingdom of Women in the future. Dajinchuan is her home."

"But the Dongnu Country is weak, and there are Tubo, Tuyuhun and Liuzhao around it."

"We will protect our home, and you will help us, right?"

Qingluan stroked Li's chest with his hands and his face turned serious.

"I think you should go with me. Now, I am actually quite worried about you. In the past two years, I have invited many scholars from the Central Plains to go over and read a lot of your books. You should know more about this sentence that shocked the Lord. You have made great contributions to the current Emperor of Tang Dynasty, the achievements of the Longxi City to save the Lord, the achievements of the Xuanwu Gate to set up a plan, and the suppression of Tuyuhun, the capital of Liang, the revival of Shuofang, the resignation of the Turks, and the re-governing government. You have also made many contributions to the people of the world calling you the prime minister of the time, the god of war, and the great master."

"Have you thought about it carefully? What's the emperor thinking? What's more, you're rich enough to rival a country. It is said that even the emperor wants to borrow money from you, and even the court borrows money from the Li family. Don't you worry, the emperor will not be able to sleep?"

Qingluan raised her head, "You are such a smart person, you must have known this a long time ago. I'm telling you this now, because I want to remind you again. Don't let yourself have no choice, and don't let yourself regret it at that time."

"The suspicion of the king you mentioned is an ordinary king. Today, a generation of heroic lords and wise rulers will not do such things."

"The most ruthless imperial family, involving power, the emperor can do anything. How many heroes and generals have you, the Han Emperor, killed? Is it too late to regret it if I really have to go to that point? Go back to the East Girl Country with me, the Queen and I will definitely be the prime minister, let you command the government and control the troops."

Li shook his head and smiled.

"I am also the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty now, so why do I have to go to the East Girl Kingdom to be the prime minister? As you said, I am very successful in the Tang Dynasty. Will I not be successful in the East Girl Kingdom in the future?"

If he had been an ordinary king, Li would have considered a retreat. But he was the Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, who had the broadest mind. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he did not kill Jiancheng Yuanji. Afterwards, he did not kill Jiancheng Yuanji's subordinates, but pardoned these people and even reused them, such as Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Xue Wanche, etc., all of which were reused.

In recent years, many people in the court reported to the emperor that Li Quan was too favored.

But after receiving the memorial, Li Shimin summoned Li to the palace and showed him all the memorials.

The emperor said to him, "There is nothing to be suspicious between you and my monarch and minister. If we keep everything we hear in our hearts and don't say it, then we may cause misunderstandings. Now, I will show you these things to tell you that I will not suspect you, and will trust you as always, and don't misunderstand me!"

Li Shimin even said at the court meeting that Li and him were like he and the crown prince. He trusted Li, just like the crown prince Chengqian.

Li believed these words were the truth.

Li Shimin has been the emperor for only two years, and their monarch and ministers cooperated tacitly, just like when they started their business, everyone rarely suspected them. At least, those smart bosses would not suspect their elders and heroes early on.

If you want to be suspicious, you have to wait until the birds are completely hidden.

Li Shimin was less than 30 years old. His country had just begun. He was ambitious and could not break his arms now. Maybe when he waited twenty years, when the emperor was in his late age and began to consider the succession of the crown prince, he might be worried that a minister like Li, who had too high achievements, would pose a threat to the new emperor.

But in history, Li Ji and Changsun Wuji also had great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but before Li Shimin passed away, he did not say that he would deal with these two great heroes.

Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji to be the minister of regent and entrusted him with his own son. He only demoted Li Ji, but also told the prince that he would use Li Ji as soon as he succeeded to the throne. This was because the prince was not kind to Li Ji, so that the new emperor could take the opportunity to show his kindness.

Li Shishi is not Yang Guang after all.

He Li, not Yang Su.

Li Shimin did not have killed meritorious officials, but he never killed them based on suspicion. Those who killed them were all those who were plotting against rebellion. For example, Hou Junji, and those involved in the rebellion case of several princes and princesses.

Li Dan said that as long as he did not touch Li Shimin's rebellious scales, that is, he did not plan to rebel, Li Shimin would not touch him. He was rich enough to compete with a country, had great achievements, was powerful in the world, etc. Li Shimin could tolerate these things. Even Wei Zheng could point at the emperor and scold him, spray his saliva on his face. He could tolerate such things. Li Shimin was a very powerful person.

Why did Li go to rebel?

Having money is not about treason, and having reputation is not about treason. For Li Shimin, collusion, secretly recruiting dead soldiers, and creating weapons are the only way to treason.

Li was full and could only do such things.

"You are not from the Tang Dynasty, and you don't know enough about Your Majesty. Today, I am a rare wise king, and the ones you said will not be born."

Seeing Li's appearance, Qingluan was half-believing and half-doubted, but she knew that this man would not go to Dajinchuan with her. However, looking back two years ago, she personally participated in the palace transformation he planned. Li Shimin was an emperor who usurped the throne, with his father under house arrest and his brothers trapped. Will such an emperor really be a wise ruler?

"Your Majesty is ambitious and wants to be the emperor of the ages. There are many things he has to do. I am his good helper." Li said with a smile.

Li caressed her soft long.

"The Tubo people are becoming more and more rampant, it's time to teach them some lessons."

When Li was in Longyou two years ago, he defeated Tuyuhun and forced Tuyuhun to discuss peace. He also persuaded the vassals such as Dongnu, Bailan, and Bailang to persuade the Tang Dynasty to be stable in the southwest. Li opened the southwest silk tea trade route to Tianzhu Da 6.

Although Tubo did not possess the Tang Dynasty at that time, he also reached a friendly agreement with the Tang Dynasty. They paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty and were considered vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.

But now just two years later, Tubo has begun to attack everywhere, and even threatened the war to the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty such as Rudongnu. You should know that the Dongnunu and other countries are now nominally the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They are the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and the kings and chiefs are the princes and governors of the Tang Dynasty.

The court did not care much about these actions of the Tubo people. After all, in their eyes, the Eastern Nv Kingdom was just a prisoner in Mizhou, and in fact it was just an unparalleled place. If they beat them, they would let them fight.

But Li is different.

He has been staring at Tubo and has been guarding against Tubo because he knows that Tubo is the lifelong enemy of the Tang Dynasty. In history, the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo exceeded 100,000 people, and they even lost more than they lost less. They even once even the capital Chang'an was captured by the Tubo people.

It can be said that in the end of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was the biggest foreign enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Even grassland tribes like the Turks were just foreign enemies in the early Tang Dynasty, and it threatened the Tang Dynasty for less than a hundred years.

But Li Shimin had told Li Shimin many times, but Li Shimin didn't care much about it. Or the threats of Turks and others are the most real, and even the threats of Tuyuhun are much closer than those of Tubo.

The court did not pay attention to Tubo, but Li had to pay attention to it.

Nowadays, Tubo people often intercepted the Han merchants on the trade route and blackmailed them. It is said that Tubo began to reform, and many places effectively imitated the meaning of the Tang Dynasty.

They established a system of thousands of households and ten thousand households, and established that the whole nation would be soldier.

The number of troops has increased significantly.

Tubo not only fought against the small Qiang and Tang countries, but also had friction with Tuyuhun. Tubo expanded outward and inevitably collided with Tuyuhun.

In the previous war between Li and Tuyuhun, the Tubo people saw through the reality of Tuyuhun people, and changed from awe to disdain. They repeatedly provoked Tuyuhun and created friction. Although it had not become a big war, border conflicts continued.

Li knew this and thought he could use it.

Since the emperor and the court did not plan to manage Tubo now, then use barbarians to control barbarians.

Let Tuyuhun and Tubo go to war, and then let the tycoons from the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, such as the Eastern Wolf Kingdom and the White Wolf Kingdom, watch the battle and get a kick at any time.

Li did not want Tubo to win a big victory, nor did Tuyuhun win a big victory. His idea was to let the two countries fight, and they could not achieve a result, so that they could lose both sides.

If anyone is about to lose, Datang will come to mediate, and then engage in some trade with the weak side, sell them some arms at a high price, and then let them rest for a while, and then let them continue fighting.

If you really can't defeat it, you can also send a coalition force composed of Dongnuguo and other countries to mediate and support. In short, you will not allow the Tubo or Tuyuhun people to stay safe, and you will not allow them to grow stronger unscrupulously.

"I have approved all the armor you need for in the East Girl Kingdom, and we can increase the number of them. As for the payment of goods, we will give priority to slaves. One Tubo slave is equivalent to three ordinary yamen slaves, and one Tuyuhun slave is equivalent to two yamen slaves. Secondly, we will collect gold and silver."

"There are limits on the number of arms purchased with gold and silver, but if the number of arms purchased with Tubo slaves and Tuyuhun slaves is not limited, we will give you as much arms as you can."

As the Shangshu Ling, the Grand Marshal, and the emperor's favorite minister, there is no problem with Li Shimin to ask for this policy.
