Wei Jiansu was startled and asked in confusion: "Wei Chen didn't understand what your majesty meant!"
Li Ye said slowly: "Queen Bahan hopes that Tubo will send troops to occupy Suiye and completely destroy the Tang Dynasty's power west of Congling. Two hundred thousand taels of gold is her reward for Tubo!"
Wei Jiansu laughed and said, "Isn't she afraid that after the Tubo occupation of Suiye, they would also destroy Bahanna?"
"That's why I said she was stupid. I conquered Bakhna instead of Nanzhao's plan. It's because of this stupid queen."
"Your Majesty, why did Tubo appear at Ba Khan's place?"
Li Ye nodded, "This is a good question. I got a report from Li Chenghua. Not only did the Tubo envoy appear in Bukhanna, but also a group of 500 Tibetan soldiers to protect the special envoy appeared in Uzhanna, Tochara. This shows that the
Bolu and Shishi Kingdom were opened up by Tubo again."
"So your Majesty still wants to send troops to Dabolu and Xu Shiguo?"
"That's for sure!"
Li Ye walked two steps with his hands behind his back: "Is this related to the Tang Dynasty's national policy towards Tibet? In fact, it is a 'blockage'. Our soldiers cannot go to the plateau, and the army cannot supply supplies, but we can block it and block Tibet on the plateau."
On the other three sides, except for Tianzhu in the south, we can block its path of expansion and block it on the plateau for a long time. When the climate slowly cools down, Tubo will decline."
Wei Jiansu asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you think the climate will get colder?"
"Fei Long told me that he has some magical powers and can recognize the changes in the world. He said that in a few decades, the climate will gradually become colder, and a lot of land on the Tubo Plateau will no longer be able to grow food. The population of Tubo will decrease, and there will be internal disputes.
It will intensify, and they cannot adapt to the extremely hot climate in Tianzhu. As long as they are stuck on the plateau and cannot get out, they will definitely decline and will no longer become a thorn in the side of Datang."
"Your Majesty is wise, but will the Tang Dynasty also become colder?" Wei Jiansu asked worriedly again.
Li Ye smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty spans thousands of miles. The heat in the north has become warmer and cooler, but the heat in Lingnan has become more pleasant. The north and south will naturally be balanced, and the real coldness in the north is the Mobei grassland and Liaodong. The Hu people
They will continue to harass people southward. I am also very worried about this, so I have taken precautions and attacked the Donghu people in Liaodong first. This is why."
Wei Jiansu suddenly realized, bowed and said: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I understand now. If you say this, wouldn't it mean that barbarians from the grassland will become a danger to the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Ye smiled and said: "When have the grassland barbarians not been a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty? But I have a plan for the grassland barbarians. Let's talk about it in a few years!"
Wei Jiansu nodded silently. He stopped talking about this issue and said: "Now that the gold and silver from the Western Regions have arrived, our currency reform plan needs to be accelerated."
"Please ask the Prime Minister to keep an eye on the currency reform for me. In addition, Li Mi sent people from Fuzhou to send a batch of paper made of bamboo as raw material. Let the civil and military officials evaluate it in the past few days. If it is good, I will approve it in Fujian.
Paper production began on a large scale."
"Weichen will make arrangements now!"
Wei Jiansu bowed and left.
When Li Ye saw that it was almost noon, he was thinking about his son Li Fang from the Western Regions, so he ordered: "Go back to the palace!"
Pei Sanniang had always been a little worried that her grandson from the Western Regions would be arrogant, but when she saw Li Fang, she immediately fell in love with him and loved him very much.
The reason is also very simple. Li Fang completely fits the image of a son in Pei Sanniang's mind. Why does the old man like his grandchildren? Because the grandchildren allow the old man to see his children again when they were young, allowing them to make up for some unfulfilled regrets.
Li Ye was extremely rude and mischievous when he was a child, and kept getting into trouble, which gave Pei Sanniang a lot of headaches. She often wiped her tears alone. Every day, she hoped that her son would become quiet and well-behaved, like a girl.
Although Li Huan's son Li Nan feels this way, after all, Li Nan is not Pei Sanniang's biological grandson, he is Yu Wenluo's grandson.
The arrival of Li Fang allowed Pei Sanniang to see what Li Ye had expected when he was a child. Pei Sanniang was so happy that she couldn't help but smile. This was the grandson she wanted.
She immediately recognized this grandson and personally brought him to the palace to meet Dugu Xinyue and others.
When Li Ye returned to the palace, Li Fang was telling his aunt, aunts, and younger brothers and sisters about the customs and customs of Samarkand. He had also lived outside the Daguangming Temple for several years and lived in the markets of Samarkand, so he was very familiar with Su.
He understands Te's local customs very well and speaks eloquently.
At this time, a little palace maid ran over and whispered to Dugu Xinyue: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is back!"
Dugu Xinyue nodded, leaned forward and said to her mother-in-law Pei Sanniang, who was sitting in the main seat: "Mother-in-law, Aye is back."
Pei Sanniang still likes to keep the previous title. Of course, not every daughter-in-law can call her Aye in front of her. Only two people can. One is Queen Dugu Xinyue. She is the authentic daughter-in-law. She can call her, and the other is Qingyu.
This is her favorite daughter-in-law, and she can call her Qingyu, but Qingyu never dares."
Pei Sanniang nodded and said with a smile: "You guys continue talking, I'll talk to him first!"
Pei Sanniang got up and went outside the palace surrounded by more than a dozen maids. She happened to meet Li Ye.
"Mom, why did you come out?"
"I have something to tell you."
Pei Sanniang and her son came to the corridor. Pei Sanniang said with a smile: "Mother Fanger likes her very much. She always hoped that you would be like him when you were a child. It's a pity that I won't mention it anymore. Ye'er, please take his mother over too! Even though she is a barbarian.
, but I can admit this daughter-in-law."
Li Ye was startled. It turned out that his mother didn't know that Jin Shanling was dead. He pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't mother ask Fang'er?"
Pei Sanniang shook her head, "I didn't ask, I think I should ask you about this."
Li Ye sighed and said: "His mother has passed away. Civil strife broke out in Samarkand, and her mother was martyred along with thousands of people."
"What?"
Pei Sanniang's eyes widened and she said angrily: "Why didn't you stop it?"
"Mom, I knew it already."
"Don't say such things to me!"
Pei Sanniang waved her hand angrily, "Are you an ordinary person? You are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Who will die if you don't let him die? Don't treat me like a three-year-old child. I know that you don't like the child's mother.
Is she older?"
Li Ye was also anxious, "Mom, I didn't know that this son existed at all. Jinshanling refused to come back and dedicated himself to the God of Zoroastrianism, so I just followed her. Even if we go our separate ways, I know that there is still a chance of death."
When I had this son, it was only half a month before Jin Shanling passed away. Even if I sent an eagle message to Suiye, it would still take me nearly half a month, but it would still take me twenty days to get from Suiye to Samarkand. How could this be possible?
Is it too late? What’s more important is that I don’t know that she has decided to be a martyr!”
Pei Sanniang's face softened a little, "The key is whether you did it or not?"
"Of course I did. I immediately wrote a letter to Jin Shanling and asked Li Chenghua to hand it over to her. I mainly wanted to ask about my son's condition, but she was martyred before the letter arrived in Zhangye."
Pei Sanniang slowly calmed down, "It seems that my mother wrongly blamed you. I thought his mother was forced to commit suicide!"
Li Ye sighed and said: "Mom, Zoroastrianism has always regarded burning one's body with fire as a noble destination. Jinshanling has been planning it as early as five years ago. She transferred all the wealth of the Saint Sisters Society for seventy years and hid it in the cave.
, and then handed over her son to Li Chenghua. She was ready to die together with the saint. Some people forced her to step down, but she refused. What she couldn’t get, no one else could.”
"What about the wealth of the Saintess Society?" Pei Sanniang suddenly returned to her true self.
