The second meeting fell silent under Wang Xuance's threat.

Many countries have felt the crisis, and since it is the closest to the Tang army, Gao Changguo is even more in crisis.

Wang Xuance said that it was a mutiny among soldiers, but who knows if it was a mutiny or not? Is there someone behind the command and who knows?

"Gao Chang is willing to give 10,000 soldiers rations, what about you, Khotanese envoys?" Prime Minister Gao Chang was a little anxious, ignoring that Ju Wentai was on the side, and directly responded to the military rations for a year, and then began to ask the Khotanese envoy.

"I also gave 10,000 troops in Khotan."

"It's the same with my turtles."

Khotan and Qiuzi were also unwilling, and agreed to the matter.

Wang Xuance didn't have the slightest feeling that he had just threatened everyone, he raised his wine glass with a smile, looked around and said, "Look, isn't this very good, now that the problem of military rations has been solved, then it's time for military expenses, right?" ”

Yes, the problem of military rations has indeed been solved, but Khotan and Qiuzi are distressed.

could have played slowly and done things slowly, but now Chang Gao was forced to nod and agree, saying that he was not aggrieved, how could it be possible.

Wang Xuance didn't care what the mood of these people was, and after giving Prime Minister Gao Chang a satisfied look without a trace, he continued to ask, "What?" Doesn't anyone want to spend on the military? Or do you want to think again? ”

"Honorable envoy of the Tang Dynasty, can we discuss the matter of military expenses again? When the discussion is settled, the difference in this period of time will be made up together. The envoy of the Cheshi country said boldly.

He also thought about it and understood, now that the grain is borne by the three big countries, then I am afraid that this money will definitely have to be paid by small countries like them, and there are too many small countries, and how much each country will pay is a big problem, and it is impossible to decide at all now.

So instead of bragging about it here, it's better to go back and study how much money you can cost.

"It's a good thing to be able to communicate more, naturally there is nothing wrong with it, and the words of the messenger of the driver are indeed old-fashioned." Wang Xuance didn't want to persecute these Western Regions countries too much, and it was not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty to fight immediately, so he loosened the rope in his hand, so as not to strangle these turtle countries.

The second meeting ended after Wang Xuance's words.

Only the anger of Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, did not end immediately, and after everyone left, he immediately pulled the prime minister over and scolded him.

"The king, the minister is also unavoidable, you also saw the situation at that time, if we don't agree, it will be the end of everyone forcing the palace, minister...... The minister is also thinking about the king, thinking about Gaochang! Prime Minister Gao Chang said with a crying voice.

"If you really think about Gaochang, you won't agree to the military rations of the 10,000 soldiers, do you know, how much food do I have in Gaochang now? With this food, what will we use to feed ourselves in the future? Ju Wentai walked around the palace again and again, glaring angrily at the self-determined prime minister, feeling that his whole body was about to explode.

"King, we don't have it, but those small countries around it. We can take food from them, and as long as we get it, who cares where it comes from? The prime minister approached Ju Wentai and said sneakily: "When the time comes, we will ask for food under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, do they dare not give it?" ”

"You mean......" Ju Wentai looked at his prime minister suspiciously.

"King, the wool is out of the sheep......" The prime minister put away his sad expression and blinked his eyes to make a head-killing gesture.

"Yes, yes, the wool is out of the sheep, we can go to those small countries under the banner of Datang to ask for food, and if we don't give it, we will send troops to destroy them, anyway, there is a Datang army to carry the evil disaster for us......" Ju Wentai nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the prime minister approvingly: "That's it, you go back and arrange it, remember, don't leave the handle, don't let the Tang Dynasty know that we are using them as guns." ”

"Yes, the minister remembers, and the minister will do it immediately." The prime minister said yes and turned to leave.

Just turned around, and in a position that Ju Wentai couldn't see, there was an incomprehensible sneer on the prime minister's face, and it seemed as if he had completed some kind of calculation.

At this time in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian was squatting outside the old man's manna hall, nibbling on an emerald green cucumber in his mouth, completely ignoring the cold wind around him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty is just taking the exam for King Yue, and there is nothing else to do, you better go in." Old Eunuch Fang stood aside with his body bowed and persuaded in a low voice.

"No." Li Chengqian shook his head, thought about it, folded the cucumber in his hand in half, and handed it to the old eunuch Fang: "I stole it from the queen mother's garden, do you dare to eat it?" ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" The old eunuch Fang smiled bitterly and took half a cucumber, took it in his hand and said to Li Chengqian: "Why doesn't Your Highness go in, it's windy and ...... outside."

Li Chengqian pursed his lips, looked at the old eunuch Fang with disdain, and made an expression that you don't understand: "I'm not stupid, now go in and wait for my father to take the exam with me?" It's better to wait for my father to finish the Xiaotai exam, and I'll go in when I'm too addicted, it's safer. ”

Old Eunuch Fang stuffed half a cucumber in his mouth and was stunned for a long time, he didn't expect Li Chengqian to be killed for this reason.

At the beginning, he always thought that Li Chengqian didn't want to go in because Li Er favored Li Tai very much during this time, and he didn't want to go in out of jealousy or gas blockage, but now it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince's brain is really not quite the same as others.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and eat, it'll freeze hard for a while, and you'll lose a bite of your old teeth. Li Chengqian didn't hear the old eunuch's reaction for a long time, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, and said half-jokingly.

"The minister went in to see how His Majesty's examination was doing, and he will come back to inform His Highness later." Old Eunuch Fang really didn't know what to say to this unobtrusive prince, so in the name of probing the wind, he flashed people directly.

As a result, in less than a moment, Li Chengqian saw Li Tai walking out of the door, saw him squatting outside the door, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother?" What are you doing here? ”

"What else can I do, the old man is testing you inside, I won't go in to top the thunder, let's just come with you." Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, made a strange expression, reached out and pulled out a cucumber from his arms and stuffed it into Li Tai's hand: "Hide it, don't let the queen mother see it!" ”

Li Tai's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the cucumber from Li Chengqian's hand and stuffed it into his arms, and asked mysteriously, "Is there anything else?" ”

"There's a fart, you can't steal more at a time, and if you steal too much, the queen mother will find out." Li Chengqian rolled his eyes: "Hurry up, I still have to go in to see my father, and I will freeze to death if I accompany you for a while." ”
