The first thousand one hundred and ninety-first chapters discuss the task
In the empty hall, only four people were silent.
Zeng Hongshen and Yaoluo Ge Tongjian had heard about Di Xin's plan before and did not interrupt the conversation between Di Xin and Liu Jiande at this moment.
Di Xin looked at Liu Jiande who was also silent.
Whether this task should be handed over to Liu Jiande depends on his answer.
While waiting, Liu Jiande finally spoke.
He glanced at Yao Luo Ge Tongjian.
"When I surrounded the Uihe royal court last year, almost all the senior officials of the Uihe clan, including Yaoluo Ge Tongjian, the innate great master, disappeared."
"The Uighur tribe invaded our border. The order came from the top of the Uighur tribe. Logically speaking, if I knew the news about them, I should send troops to pursue them as soon as possible."
At this point, he suddenly sighed.
"Although those high-level officials escaped early at that time, according to my investigation of the Uighur people, even if they took away some people, they would only take away a few thousand people at most, and they would not pose much of a threat to the border."
Liu Jiande said: "I have destroyed the royal court of their clan, and the small grassland where they originally lived has become the territory of Dali. This grudge is finally settled."
"As long as the fleeing Huihe people don't enter our territory of Dali to kill people and set fires, then they will be able to do so in the future."
After saying that, he fell silent again.
Obviously, in Liu Jiande's view, the Uighurs had already paid the due price for their previous actions and had no intention of exterminating them all.
After a while, Di Xin suddenly sighed and said, "You are more sensible than I thought."
"I thought..."
Liu Jiande smiled and said, "Your Highness, you think I will choose to kill everyone?"
Di Xin shook his head. In his opinion, Liu Jiande was not that extreme.
He didn't explain anything more, Liu Jiande's answer already met his requirements.
"You are right. I called you here not just to tell you this."
Di Xin said: "After returning to Northern Xinjiang, King Cheng will definitely keep an eye on my every move, so I will not be able to have direct contact with the remaining Uighur clan."
"The king needs a middleman who can replace me and conduct transactions with the Uighur people."
Seeing Di Xin staring at him, Liu Jiande pointed at himself in astonishment: "Your Highness, you mean...me?"
"Yes, you are the best candidate."
"On the surface, you are at odds with me, and you have not publicly taken sides, so no one will deliberately keep an eye on you. And even if someone notices something unusual, they will not be linked to me."
Di Xin nodded and made no secret of the reason for his choice.
Then he added: "I don't like to force others to make things difficult. If you don't want to, you can let this matter go."
Liu Jiande was silent again.
After a moment, he asked: "Your Highness, if I choose to refuse, what will be the consequences?"
"There will be no consequences."
Di Xin shook his head helplessly and said: "Don't think too badly of me. This is not a matter of life and death. If you are unwilling, I will not force you."
He didn't have the airs of a prince at all. He shrugged and said, "I will naturally think of other ways. As long as you don't leak the conversation in the palace today."
Liu Jiande looked into Di Xin's eyes, but did not see any trace of hypocrisy in them.
Obviously His Royal Highness Prince Yu was not deceiving him. He could refuse this matter and there would be no consequences.
Something strange arose in Liu Jiande's heart.
Although he had been with Di Xin for a while last year, he was not used to Di Xin's way of dealing with problems.
He is still more accustomed to the social rules of that class-clear society. The words of the upper class must be followed to the letter by the lower class.
Behind Di Xin, Yao Luo Ge Tongjian also had a strange look on his face.
When he heard the plan before, he thought that the process was for Prince Yu to meet the commander of Jiande City and then directly issue the order.
Unexpectedly, he actually came in a thoughtful manner and clearly stated the conditions under which he could refuse.
"Is this the way the superior Da Li does things?"
At this moment, he thought this was the difference between the two civilizations.
But he quickly denied this, because as far as he knew, the people in high positions in Dali always acted condescendingly when dealing with people in lower positions. They would give orders directly without giving them the option to refuse at all.
Zeng Hongshen's expression did not change at all.
As one of the first people to follow Emperor Xin in the Ancient Moon Realm, and also the person who has spent the longest time with Emperor Xin in the Ancient Moon Realm, he has become accustomed to King Yu's way of doing things.
In the eyes of His Highness Prince Yu, the status of a prince and a commoner, and the official positions of different ranks are divisions of responsibilities, not classes.
No matter rich or poor, Prince Yu truly treats everyone equally.
If he shows a strange expression, it will prove that King Yu's attitude at the moment is just fake.
…
After another long silence, Liu Jiande asked: "Your Highness, can I please think about it?"
"It's not urgent."
Emperor Xin nodded and said: "The expeditionary force will rest in Khan City for three days. Just inform me of your decision within three days."
Liu Jiande breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After the matter came to an end for the time being, Emperor Xin asked again: "Are the members of the old royal family of Goguryeo still peaceful in Jiande City?"
"Your Majesty, since they arrived at Jiande City, they have been keeping their peace, which makes the humble ministers and others breathe a sigh of relief."
Next, Di Xin and Liu Jiande learned about the performance of the remnant people of Goguryeo and the Uighur tribe during this period.
The situation is not bad.
Although there are always some people who cannot clearly see the situation, in general, most people can still understand the situation clearly. Not only do they not cause trouble, but they also actively cooperate with the arrangements made for them by the Eastern Border.
There were even some people who wanted to cause trouble, and they suppressed them on their own without the government taking action, which saved a lot of trouble for the soldiers and officials at the eastern border.
Liu Jiande said excitedly: "With the addition of such a strong labor force, the food supply at the border has doubled last year."
"That's a good thing."
Di Xin nodded and recognized Liu Jiande's achievements: "You did a good job, and you will continue to work hard in the future."
"after?"
Liu Jiande was stunned.
With the efforts of the government, these people who were moved to Dali have begun the process of civilization. From now on, as long as no accidents occur, they can continue step by step.
What else should we work hard for in the future?
Could it be that His Highness King Yu wants to go against the previous negotiations, continue to conquer the Yi people, and then hand over the captured foreigners to his arrangement?
