The glazed bell is thick in amber, and the small groove wine drops are pearl red. Cooking dragon cannon phoenix jade fat crying, Luo Wei embroidered the curtain around the fragrant wind. Playing the dragon flute and beating the drum; Hao tooth song, thin waist dance.

In the private room of the Qinglou, Li Yuanchang, who had been "abstinent" for a long time, let loose and desperately ate the tofu of the girl next to him. It is as if he wants to make up for all the "abstinence" of this half a year overnight.

If it weren't for Li Chengqian's presence, I'm afraid that Li Yuanchang would not be able to bear himself and "do it" directly.

Li Chengqian also seemed to understand Li Yuanchang's thoughts, anyway, he was not in a hurry to persuade Li Yuanchang, patted the waists of the two girls beside him, stood up, and smiled at Li Yuanchang: "Uncle Huang has a good nature, so I won't disturb Uncle Huang's elegance, I will retire first, why don't we get together another day." ”

"Well said, well said! Qian'er, Uncle Huang remembers your goodness, and if you encounter something in the future, you will come to Uncle Huang, and Uncle Huang will support you! ”

Li Chengqian was waiting for Li Yuanchang's words, smiled slightly when he heard the words, and left with a simple salute.

After closing the door, I only heard Li Yuanchang's lewd laughter inside and the delicate panting of the girl in the Qinglou.

Li Chengqian dismissed the two girls from the Qinglou outside the door, stood for a while, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard the movement inside. "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, I hope you can get to know each other, otherwise... Hey! ”

After standing for a while, he only heard the sound of a battle inside, Li Chengqian only felt that there was a ball of lust burning in his lower abdomen, and he waved his hand to call a few girls from Qinglou, changed to a private room, and also "indulged himself" to go.......

Looking at the court, the princelings seemed to have given up struggling, and Li Chengqian did not make the slightest move recently, allowing Li Tai to step on his face and remain indifferent.

Some ministers secretly muttered in their hearts, this confrontation ...... Lee Tae seemed to have won a move. However, there are still many ministers who remain sober, and they know that the victory or defeat between the crown prince and the king of Wei is definitely not a win or loss in the battle between the two factions, the key still depends on Li Shimin's attitude.

Well, Li Shimin's attitude has not been clear recently, which has also made everyone confused.

However, when the New Year was approaching, Li Shimin suddenly issued a will. The will has nothing to do with the crown prince King Wei, and has something to do with the Gaochang State thousands of miles away.

A few years ago, when the 36 countries of the Western Regions jointly attacked Longxi, Gaochang's army often turned into bandits and harassed the merchants who passed by on the Silk Road.

Li Shimin wanted to attack Gaochang at that time, but at that time, there was a war on both sides, and Xue Yantuo was later defeated and the country was lost, and the court was busy dealing with the matter of absorbing Xue Yantuo's tribe, so naturally no one bothered to take care of Gaochangguo. What's more, at that time, Gao Changguo's envoys knelt and licked quite comfortably, and Li Shimin turned a blind eye and did not investigate deeply.

Later, the focus of the Tang Dynasty was on the establishment of the Beiting Protectorate in the north. These small countries in the Western Regions didn't pay much attention.

As a result, some small countries in the Western Regions were annexed by the Western Turks, and although the other part was not annexed by the Western Turks, it was not comfortable to be caught in the middle, so they either chose to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty or the Western Turks.

The countries that took refuge in the Tang Dynasty were a small number, and most of the small countries took refuge in the Western Turks. For their swords had reached under their walls, and they had to give in.

Gaochang also followed the tide and took refuge in the Western Turks. However, he did not succumb to the Western Turks' force, but because after taking refuge in the Western Turks, they could justifiably rob the merchants who came and went along the Silk Road...... It's also a real wonder. I don't know if the head of King Ju Wentai of Gaochang is filled with a paste mixed with water, it is simply a trick.

Now that the north is almost stable, the imperial court can also spare more attention to deal with some small countries that are not very peaceful, so Li Shimin has set his sights on the West - the Silk Road!

Li Shimin attaches great importance to the Silk Road, and through this road of business and trade, he has seen a broader world outside, and perhaps the end of the Silk Road will be the next place for his conquest.

But now, there are a few pesky reptiles entrenched on the Silk Road, often harassing the passing merchants, most of whom are still the subjects of the Tang Dynasty. This made him feel very unhappy.

When the New Year was approaching, he issued a decree to the King of Gaochang, which roughly means that the New Year is coming, how about coming to Chang'an to live happily in the Tang Dynasty?

Joke! Can I go back to Datang for the New Year? The Knotted Khan, the Guligan Khan, and the Yinan Khan of Xue Yantuo are all in your Datang for the New Year, and their territories have all become your Datang territory.

Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, was frightened when he received the order. He has the courage to let soldiers turn into bandits and rob the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, but he doesn't have the courage to start a war with the Tang Dynasty - the thirty-six countries can't beat you together, how can I be an opponent alone?

But let him go to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't dare. According to Li Shimin's character, after going to Chang'an, 12 percent of them were placed under house arrest, and at that time, their own country would inexplicably have the surname Li Bu and the surname Ju.

After thinking about it, Ju Wentai couldn't come up with a good idea, so he had to ask the envoy to bring a large amount of tribute, panicking that he was sick and couldn't travel long distances, so he couldn't come to Datang for the New Year.

Li Shimin and the full tide of civil and military affairs will naturally not believe this nonsense, but if you don't believe it, you still have to get by on the surface.

You're sick, right? Oh, the envoy said that he was quite sick and couldn't get out of the dormitory. Then you must not have anyone in charge of your government, right? Why don't I send a few ministers to assist you?

The envoy went back trembling with Li Shimin's words, presumably Ju Wentai would tremble like the envoy after hearing Li Shimin's words. However, this is only the beginning of Datang's planned actions.

In the next year (the seventeenth year of Zhenguan), just after the spring rush, Li Shimin sent troops to clean up the chaos for the king of Gaochang on the grounds that the king of Gaochang was sick and could not manage the government, which caused his subordinate generals to loot even though the soldiers looted. With Xue Wanjun and Cheng Biting Jin as the main generals, he led 30,000 soldiers and horses to the Western Regions.

Well, that's right, only 30,000 soldiers. The treasury is not very abundant, and 30,000 soldiers and horses are already the limit. However, this time on the expedition to the Western Regions, Li Shimin used the latest weapon - cannon!

Chen Fei led the craftsmen of the Qi Workshop to improve the cannon, so that the weight of the cannon was reduced, but the rate of fire and power were greater. It is very suitable for siege warfare, and it is simply invincible to rush to kill the enemy with thunderbolts!

Therefore, there was no accident, Chen Fei followed the twenty cannons on the expedition again. It's a bit like after-sales protection, which was taken all the way. Let his tears flow without knowing where to go.

The children at home haven't enjoyed it yet, yes, it's going to go on the expedition again, and it's going to take another year to go out, fuck it or not?

If you have to find a reason to comfort yourself, I'm afraid it is - often go on expeditions, get used to it?
