Dajin royal family

Chapter 303 Since ancient times
Who is the current emperor?

It can be seen from his series of national policies.

Annihilate the Turks at all costs, connive Jiang Chengxiao wantonly massacre grassland tribes in northern Xinjiang, dig the Grand Canal, and forcibly conquer Goguryeo.

Jinshang is an enterprising emperor. After the first emperor sent Changsun Sheng and Pei Ju to conquer the Western Regions, there is no room for Jinshang there.

But now, he suddenly thought of another way.

That's right, he's going to tidy up!

This is not an idea that he was born by chance at this moment, but an idea that he had a long time ago.

The reason why he didn't do anything now was because his goal hadn't been accomplished yet, so he agreed to make a marriage and stabilize the Southwest.

When he cleaned up the nobles in Guanzhong, he turned around and was the first to clean up Tupan.

"Will the Tupan people agree?" asked the emperor.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Your Majesty, how could anyone other than the Jiang family become king? The Turpans intend to annex the Western Regions, Chen Bing Xihai County, and threaten the Guanxi counties. This move is absolutely unacceptable!"

Originally, Jiang Chengxiao thought that the Turpan people were going to develop slowly, but he didn't expect that they were going to eat them into a big fat man in one go, how could he tolerate this.

The emperor was silent, what Jiang Chengxiao said was not wrong, the ambitions of the Turpan people were indeed clearly revealed.

However, if Tupan is not stabilized and the Southwest is unstable, what should we do?
Is it time to prepare for a national war?

Unrealistic.

Seeing the emperor's hesitant look, Jiang Chengxiao knew that the emperor hadn't completely given up on the plan to marry him, so he said mildly: "Your Majesty, I don't understand why Your Majesty is afraid of these Turpan people. Are they more powerful than the Turkic people?"

"Of course they are not as powerful as the Turks," said the emperor.

In fact, the emperor didn't put Tupan in his eyes at all, but he was now guarding against the nobles in Guanzhong, and he was unwilling to disperse his forces to deal with Tupan.

It's not good for him to tell Jiang Chengxiao directly about this matter.

He didn't say anything, in fact Jiang Chengxiao also guessed why the emperor was unwilling to teach Tupan a lesson.

It's nothing more than waiting for someone to rebel.

In addition to this point, there is one more important point.

That was the fiasco of Qingzhou!

In the past, the imperial court did not pay attention to those rebellious bandits at all. In other words, in the eyes of the emperor in the past, there was no difference between the rioters and the thieves who occupied the mountains.

However, the violent bandits in Qingzhou not only occupied the mountains, they also occupied the city, killed the officials, and defeated the elite army of the imperial court.

As a result, the emperor had to suspect that those violent bandits had linked up with local tyrants.

And this just touched the emperor's Ni Lin and shook the foundation of the Jin family's rule of the world.

Therefore, the emperor now has to start to take precautions and pay attention to these violent bandits.

More importantly, the wave of rebellion was not only in Qingzhou, but also in Hebei and Jiangnan. Under such circumstances, the emperor was unwilling to fight a national war.

Pei Ju said: "Your Majesty, what King Wudu said is not unreasonable. Tupan may be very weak now, but once they are canonized by our court, they will be able to annex Wanli Western Regions in an open and honest manner. This is raising tigers."

The emperor understands what everyone said, but who can understand the emperor's own thoughts now.

"I will give you a bottom line. The Tupan people want the king of the Western Regions not to allow it. You can consider other requests at your discretion."

After pondering for a moment, the emperor decided to temporarily compromise with Turpan.

Although he was very tempted by Jiang Chengxiao's proposal, he thought that the Turpan people would not agree.

However, this is only a temporary compromise. After he has dealt with the nobles in Guanzhong, he must deal with the Tupan barbarians when he turns around.

"The minister obeys the order."

Jiang Chengxiao bowed.

He tried his best, and it seems that a marriage is still imperative.

While Jiang Chengxiao and others were discussing with the emperor, Lu Zandong was also discussing with Songtsan Gampo the request for the marriage.

The strong response of the Jin Dynasty officials shocked them, which also made Lu Zandong understand a fact.

The Jin Dynasty didn't put them in their eyes at all, and didn't think about their feelings at all.

He felt that he was a little reckless this time, and he didn't know the emperor's preferences in advance.

What's more, he never saw the emperor at all.

"My lord, should we revise the conditions of canonization?" Lu Zandong asked Songtsan Gampo cautiously.

"The King of the Western Regions cannot modify it. If the Jin Dynasty does not agree to our sending troops to the Western Regions, then Tochara and other countries will ask the Jin Dynasty for help, and our strategy will come to naught." Songtsan Gampo said firmly.

He can't touch the Central Plains for the time being, and can only focus on the Western Regions. If he can conquer the Western Regions, he will have a large number of slaves and soldiers. Only in this way can he have the capital to compete with the Jin Dynasty.

Lu Zandong said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the officials and emperors of the Jin Dynasty are not fools. They must have guessed our plan, so they refused so simply. I'm afraid it's possible."

Songtsan Gan preached: "It is indeed difficult, but the Prime Minister, the Han people have a good saying that where there is a will, there is a way. The elephant country was so powerful back then. I said that I was forced into the country by it several times. But we Still made it through."

"Now the queen of the Elephant Kingdom is my woman, and their king is raising horses for me. I believe that as long as we show what the Jin people want, they will definitely agree."

"What do the people of the Jin Dynasty want?" Lu Zandong mused for a while, and then said in puzzlement, "The people of the Jin Dynasty seem to have everything they want."

Hearing this, Songtsan Gampo thought about it and found that the Jin Dynasty people really didn't lack for anything.

"The king of the Western Regions must not give up, I am sure to win!" Songtsan Gampo's eyes burst out with ambition.

If he can't get the Western Regions, he won't be able to expand his strength, and he can't talk about leading Turpan to prosperity.

The two parties met for the second time with their respective 'bottom lines'.

This time, the officials of the Jin Dynasty still knelt and sat on the soft cushions comfortably, while the Tufan people didn't even have any cushions, and just knelt and sat on the cold floor.

In this regard, Songtsan was so angry that his toothache hurt, and he wished to slash the Jin Dynasty official opposite him.

"My lords, I thought about it carefully. Since it is I who asked to marry the noble princess of Shang Kingdom, we should really pay the dowry. When my king allowed me to take out [-] cattle and sheep, pearls, agates, and gold Silver utensils, as a betrothal gift." Lu Zandong first announced a condition.

Now the officials of the Jin Dynasty began to discuss with each other in whispers.

Lu Zandong could hear that some officials agreed to the betrothal gift, so he couldn't help feeling hopeful in his heart.

Pei Ju closed his eyes slightly, not intending to speak.

"Lu Zandong, do you think I'm missing these things?" A lazy voice sounded.

After this voice sounded, the officials of the Jin Dynasty immediately fell silent, and everyone lowered their heads without saying a word.

This scene made Lu Zandong secretly remember it in his heart.

He looked at Jiang Chengxiao. This person was in the previous list. His position should be Minister of the Ministry of Rites. He is not as high as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. But why did all the officials of the Jin Dynasty remain silent after this person spoke?
Even Pei Ju, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, didn't speak.

Does this person have a high status?
"Master Shi Lang was just joking, the great Jin Dynasty naturally has no shortage of these things." Lu Zandong bowed his hands, and then said aggrievedly: "However, I can't talk about a small border country, but these things are our most precious things. .”

"No, these are not your most precious things." Jiang Chengxiao said lightly.

Songtsan Gampo was stunned, these are their most precious things.They said that there is nothing more precious than these.

Compared with Songtsan Gampo's dazed look, Lu Zandong had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"May I ask Mr. Minister, what is the most precious thing I tell you?" Lu Zandong asked cautiously.

"Of course it's land."

Jiang Chengxiao said these words lightly, but it fell into the ears of Lu Zandong and Songtsan Gampo like thunder.

This guy actually wants their sprawled land as a bride price, what does he want to do!
"Master Shi Lang is joking." Lu Zandong became angry.

The officials of the Jin Dynasty went too far. They actually wanted to use Tupan's land as a dowry gift. What is this?
Songtsan Gampo looked at Jiang Chengxiao with murderous intent in his eyes, and a terrifying murderous intent flashed away in his eyes.

However, this murderous intent was discovered by Shisan who was lurking in the dark.

Songtsan Gampo suddenly felt like there were snake eyes watching from his back, and his hair stood up instantly.He quickly lowered his head, hiding his emotions tightly.

Sure enough, it is the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and there are masters everywhere!

Jiang Chengxiao snorted coldly, "Aren't you joking with us? The Western Regions have been the land of my Jin family since ancient times. The king of Tupan is not the royal family of our dynasty. He dared to ask for the canonization of the king of the Western Regions. Do you want to learn from the Turks?"

As soon as Lu Zandong's momentum stabilized, the people of the Jin Dynasty really knew their plan.

However, why does the saying that the Western Regions have been the land of the Jin Dynasty since ancient times sound so strange? When did the Western Regions become the territory of the Jin Dynasty?
