The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 701 The New Puppet

Abalasha was very clear about the situation in the Western Regions. Wadahan was originally a poor prince with almost no status in the entire Gaochang, but now this guy has become the king of Gaochang.

Of course, this king is not that easy to be king. The Tang Dynasty helped him a lot. Is Gaochang still an independent country now?The Tang Dynasty has the final say on almost everything, including border defense. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty also granted two additional kings to Gaochang. Now it is a situation of three kings. Even if you become that king, it will not matter. Not many rights.

However, this still has great appeal to Abalasha. Now Abalasha is just a prime minister. This is just an official position and is not hereditary. When his son grows up, if he has the ability, There is still a way, if you don't have the ability, you will be a rich man.

Even if we serve as a puppet for Datang, that position can be carried out. We have been loyal to Datang for generations. Will Datang replace us with someone else?This should not happen. It would not be good for Datang to change to someone else. They have to rely on local people to rule the local area.

"Your Highness, is this guy reliable?"

Yuchi Baolin said with some worry, Abalasha is a thoughtful person. Yuchi Baolin is not worried about this guy's ability to settle external matters, but is he of the same mind as us?Although this guy's son was detained, he was familiar with some of the old tricks of the nobles. Many nobles had illegitimate children outside, but they just didn't find them out. They would only find out when the family was in danger.

"We have to bet now. We have no other way now. If this guy wants to go further, he will be of the same mind as us. This is an opportunity for him."

Li Xiang said helplessly, Li You must be responsible for the current situation. According to Li Xiang's original plan, you can find trouble in the Western Regions. As long as we find the reason, we can slowly bully them. .

I didn’t expect that what you were looking for was something like this. Not only was there no way to bully others, it might also corrupt the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, and even make everyone think that the Tang Dynasty was not serious. If you kill someone for this matter, It is very likely that the Western Turks will gather armies from various countries. When the time comes, we will not take advantage of the war. After all, our war is unjust.

If it were in an area where the Tang Dynasty had the advantage, Li Xiang could use public opinion war to turn black and white. But now we don’t have much power in the entire Western Region. It takes time to slowly penetrate, so public opinion war cannot be fought here. If we really fight it, it will be ours. defeat.

In this case, we can only do our best and listen to fate. Although this is not in line with Li Xiang's usual way of doing things, that's all we can do now.

"My brothers did a good job just now. I will reward them with three months' salary."

Li Xiang suddenly remembered that the army under his command was small in number, but in terms of executing orders, they absolutely carried out the orders [-]%.

"Subordinates obey."

Hearing that his soldiers were rewarded, although Yuchi Baolin was not mentioned, this guy also felt light on his face. This was all trained by him. Rewarding the soldiers is equivalent to rewarding him. For nobles like them, , the most important thing is official position and glory, but for ordinary soldiers, the most important thing is the money in their wallets.After living in the Western Regions for several months, going through wind and rain every day, after returning to their hometown, the money was enough for them to marry a wife and live a life. It was precisely because of the seniors in front of them and the young people behind them. Talent is willing to come out and make this money.

When Li Xiang was about to go back, he happened to see that coward Li You. Just now when the whole army was preparing for battle, this guy actually ran under the carriage. He felt that his tent would not last long, but the carriage was very strong. It's sturdy, so just hide under the carriage for a while.

Not only did Li Xiang look down on this guy, everyone including Eunuch Han had contempt on their faces.

Li Xiang was also puzzled, was this guy really Li Shimin's son?Or maybe the dragon gave birth to nine sons, but you are too far behind. When your father was fighting in the country, he was also a great hero. Why are you so cowardly?

Li You also knew that Li Xiang looked down on him, so he usually tried to stay away, but now he was really worried. He had asked several generals just now, but none of them could tell him what a ugly person he was. Maybe he had to bite the bullet and come over to feed Li Xiang.

"It was really dangerous just now. Fortunately, your command was better. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what would have happened. What should we do next?"

Li You laughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, but when he saw that no one around him was smiling, he knew there was no need to hide it, so he simply asked the question and left here. For a second, Li You felt uncomfortable all over.

"Go back to your tent and live your life honestly. Don't come out unless I tell you."

Li Xiang said a few words, and then prepared to go to his tent. There is no respect for seniority at all. Although you are an elder, looking at the nonsense you have done, it is really disrespectful. Stealing someone else's wife is a disgusting thing no matter where you are.

"If it can be solved, I think the princess..."

When Li You said this, Li Xiang still felt that this guy had a conscience and knew how to care about that woman. But now Li Xiang is too lazy to give him a good face. Everyone is worried here, and you are still thinking about yours. mistress.

"Your Majesty, please go back quickly. Your Majesty, please go back quickly!"

This shocked Eunuch Han. He had seen it just now. Li Xiang almost commanded his army to start a fight with others. All of this was brought about by Li You. Now don't you ask all the soldiers in the army? , I don’t even ask Li Xiang himself, but he is still thinking about that woman. If this spreads out, will you still be able to hang out in Datang?
Li You instantly realized that he was wrong. Fortunately, Li Xiang didn't argue with him. If this matter were made public, he would not be able to reap his benefits when they reached Chang'an City. Everyone in the army was fighting for You are preparing for things, and you are about to fight with others, but what you are thinking about is a Western Turkic woman. No matter what the relationship between you is, but you put your brothers in danger for a woman, you are Is this what a prince should do?
