Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 285 Entrusted with an important task
Yi Yin's words were approved by Li Shimin.

Indeed, Zhisheng is not the right person to send to govern the Gaochang area now.

This is a local, he knows the customs of Gaochang, and he is indeed the most suitable person to govern Gaochang.

However, the concerns of ministers are not unreasonable.

After Zhisheng returned to Gaochang, if he called up other soldiers to rebel against Datang again, releasing Zhisheng would be tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain!

Li Shimin also had to worry about this problem.

"Zhisheng, looking at the face of General Yi and the generals, I can spare you, and I can also allow you to return to the Gaochang area and become the manager of the Gaochang area, but how can I believe that you don't have any intentions?" Two minds?"

The meaning in Li Shimin's words is naturally doubtful.

All the ministers heard this, and Zhisheng also heard it.

Moreover, Li Shimin's worries are not superfluous.

The Gaochang area is very important to the economic development of the Western Regions, and Gaochang will even become an important hub.

It's not just Datang looking at the Gaochang area, even the Western Turks are eyeing Gaochang!
It can be said that whoever owns the Gaochang area between the Western Turks and the Tang Dynasty will have the dominance of the economic development in the Western Regions!

Therefore, Datang attaches great importance to the Gaochang area.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, Zhisheng felt that the problem this time was much more important than the previous ones.

This time, if the answer is not good, I will definitely put myself in a situation where there is no redemption!
Therefore, after thorough thinking, Zhisheng finally said: "Your Majesty, if I say that I have no second thoughts, Your Majesty will definitely have doubts, but if I say that I have second thoughts, Your Majesty will definitely choose to believe it. Therefore , this is a very difficult question to answer. As for whether I will have double-mindedness, I can only wait for the emperor to observe me in the future. What I can say is that as long as I have double-mindedness, the emperor can kill me at any time. With the powerful Datang, even if I Zhisheng ran to the ends of the earth, it would be easy for Datang to catch me Zhisheng, as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"

Zhisheng's answer stunned everyone.

Every minister has never seen such an answer.

Even, this answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, everyone nodded and said that Zhisheng's answer was very clever.

This must be able to convince the emperor.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhisheng's words, Li Shimin laughed and said, "What a Zhisheng, I am very satisfied with your answer, let's see it!"

What Li Shimin meant, of course, is to see if you have second thoughts first.

But for the time being, it can only be observed after Zhisheng returns to Gaochang.

"Your Majesty, what I say is all from the bottom of my heart. As for whether I have a second heart, I believe the Emperor will see it in the future. And, as I said, as long as I have a second heart, no matter where I go, Datang will have it." Ability kills me."

"I won't be so stupid. Since I can lead the people in the Gaochang area to live in happiness, I don't need to rebel again. Moreover, I will use this to comfort my father's spirit in heaven. If Gaochang becomes more and more developed, the people's life If it gets better and better, I believe my father, King Jiuquan, will also feel gratified."

Zhisheng's words won applause from the ministers present.

Next, Li Shimin announced that Gaochang would be incorporated into Datang's territory and become a part of Datang.

So far, Datang's territory has become the largest and most extensive in the history of Datang.

It reaches the sea in the east, the western border area of ​​Gaochang in the west, the Turkic hinterland in the north, and the Dalinyi area in the south.

However, Yi Yin believes that in the future, Datang's territory will become larger and wider, and it won't be long before Datang's territory will begin to expand.

As a time traveler, at least Datang should be built to be the same size as the area before the time travel.

Not to mention Genghis Khan conquered the world in the Yuan Dynasty and changed countless countries, but the area before crossing must also be reached.

When Li Shimin announced that Gaochang became part of Datang, Yi Yin and others felt proud.

Not only that, Zhisheng also felt proud.

Because, in Zhisheng's view, this time, he successfully hugged Datang's thigh!If Gaochang develops by itself, how can it compare with Datang leading the development together?
Therefore, in Zhisheng's view, being able to integrate into Datang is also a kind of pride for him.

He has seen the current prosperity of Datang with his own eyes.

Now that Gaochang has integrated into Datang, Datang will not treat them differently, and must vigorously develop the Gaochang area.

At that time, maybe Gaochang will be as prosperous and strong as Chang'an City.

When he heard Li Shimin's announcement, Zhisheng's face was full of smiles.

Li Shimin looked at Zhisheng, and said: "Zhisheng, I now appoint you as General Zuoweiwu, and canonize you as Duke of Jincheng County. From now on, you will return to Gaochang area and manage Gaochang area."

Zhisheng heard the words, and quickly thanked the Lord Long En, and thanked Li Shimin for his love!

Li Shimin continued: "Zhisheng, do you know why my Tang Dynasty wanted to capture Gaochang?"

Zhisheng heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I should know."

Li Shimin laughed, and said: "You should know, but tell me, do you know?"

This problem, as a minister in the court, is very clear in his heart.

Zhisheng heard the words and said: "Your Majesty, if you are right, it is to protect the interests of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions. It is even to curb the economic interests of the Western Turks in the Western Regions."

Li Shimin nodded upon hearing this, thinking that Zhisheng is still very good.

Anyway, this kid is still very smart.

Li Shimin looked at Zhisheng and said: "Since you already know, you should stick to Gaochang's position in the Western Regions. Even if the Western Turks come, you must hold on."

Hearing this, Zhisheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't talk about that bastard of Western Turks, I thought that my father had a good relationship with them before he was alive. When General Yi attacked us, I asked him for help, but I didn't expect him to ignore him." Me, this kind of unscrupulous bastard, why should I, Zhisheng, bother with him?"

"Okay!" Li Shimin said happily, "I just believe what you say."

Immediately, Zhisheng was rewarded again!
Zhisheng can't thank you enough for that!

Li Shimin looked at Yi Yin, and said: "General Yi, you have contributed a lot this time. Talent like Zhisheng, fortunately, was not killed. I almost missed a useful talent. Fortunately, the general tried his best to plead for him. Otherwise, I would have committed a crime." Big mistake!"

Yi Yin heard the words and said: "The emperor is wise! With the emperor's wisdom, the emperor knows that Zhisheng can't be killed if the minister doesn't remind me. This is putting a high hat on me!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Don't be modest, your wisdom is comparable to anyone in the Tang Dynasty, even Lord Wei, Lord Yu, Lord Changsun, Lord Fang, etc., all admire you! Although I am nine Five Supremes, but I have to admit that in terms of wisdom, I am really not as good as you!"

Yi Yin was flattered when he heard the words!
Li Shimin immediately looked at Zhisheng, and said: "As long as you serve the court well in Gaochang, I will remember you. Zhisheng bowed and saluted after hearing this, and said: "I must devote myself to the Tang Dynasty before I die! "
