Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Old brothers, it is equivalent to putting your own wealth and life on it.

However, he also understood in his heart.

The real purpose of the old brothers doing this is after all, because they have seen through Li Tai's character.

If you think about it carefully, there may be reasons for Changsun Wuji's aggressiveness.

If you don't hold together now, it will only be worse in the future!

But no matter what, on the surface, it was all to save his hateful brother!

Of the few people in the hall, only Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, and Dai Zhou remained silent.

No one urged, after all, behind everyone, there was a big family and an intricate force.

After listening to Xue Li at the base of the wall for a long time, he told Liu Bai under the wintersweet tree what the old guy had discussed.

Liu Bai's face also became serious.

He didn't expect that a mere Du Chuke would cause such a big chain reaction!

After thinking about it for a moment, Liu Bai didn't feel too surprised.

Sending charcoal in the snow is a great kindness, and icing on the cake can only be regarded as flattery.

For Li Chengqian, the time to send charcoal in the snow has already passed, but they have to help Li Chengqian's crown prince before he is as stable as Mount Tai!

They are all human beings among the human beings. If they still can't see the way forward, they should have been killed in the turmoil in the ninth year of Wude long ago.

Liu Bai waved his hand, "Go and investigate again!"

Xue Li responded and was about to run back to continue eavesdropping.

Liu Bai suddenly said again: "Wait!"

He pondered for a while, "Call Chengqian over and ask him to bring some cups of hot tea to the old guys!"

The old guys in the room are all top-notch ministers, if you pick one at random, they are all people who can change the direction of the court.

For Li Chengqian, their support is indispensable!

Don't take it lightly!

"It's time to use the 'big killer'!"

Liu Bai thought to himself.

Soon, Li Chengqian walked over with crutches in one hand and a large tray in the other.

"Brother Liu, I just fell asleep"

He also hadn't slept all night, and was drowsy at the moment.

Liu Bai slapped him on the forehead!

"are you awake?"

Li Chengqian was so excited that he woke up immediately, and said resentfully: "Wake up!"

Liu Bai signaled to Li Chengqian to put down the tray first, let him come over by his ear, and whispered a few words.

Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly widened!

"Here, Brother Liu, don't you plan to bring up this matter in a few years? Are you going to say it now?"

Liu Bai nodded, and said: "This opportunity is once in a thousand years, and it's just talking to Fang Xiang and the others, it's not a big deal!"

Li Chengqian said with a guilty conscience: "I'm afraid that if I say it, they won't believe it. If it wasn't for the letter from the Western Regions, I wouldn't believe it either."

"Do you think all the old guys in there are like you?"

The corner of Li Chengqian's mouth twitched a few times, and said, "I'm going right away!"

With that said, he picked up the tray again and limped towards the living room.

Chapter 230 At the very least, it should be a golden finger, right?

squeak-

Li Chengqian pushed the door open and entered.

The old guys in the living room shut up for a moment.

Yu Shinan and the others were quick-eyed and quickly hid the token token on the table into their sleeves.

There is no result of the negotiation yet, and if the Lord knows, it will be too late to take a step back.

"Masters, drink tea!"

Everyone stood up.

"His Royal Highness has beaten the old minister!"

"I wonder if His Royal Highness's injury is better?"

"Your Highness, don't burn it, the old minister will serve it himself!"

Only Wang Ji sat on the spot carelessly, motionless.

Li Chengqian put the teacup on the table next to him, and after glancing at it, he said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you bring Liu Bai's collection? Back then, even the old man only drank one cup of the top-quality sparrow!"

If it was in the past, when a few old guys heard good tea, they would definitely boo together and ask Li Chengqian to take out Liu Bai's collection.

But there are important matters to be discussed today, and no one is in the mood.

Li Chengqian didn't dare to offend Wang Ji, so he laughed and said, "I came in a hurry, next time I will definitely give Mr. Wang those good teas!"

Wang Ji snorted and agreed.

Li Chengqian saw a copper wrench on the table, picked it up and looked at it, "What is this?"

Just now everyone put away the tokens, and only Wang Ji didn't care.

"Since you like it, I'll give it to you. Keep it well, and don't show it to others easily!"

Li Chengqian despised Wang Ji in his heart.

Don't you want to give someone something nice?

At the very least, it should be a golden wrench, right?

On the surface, he looked grateful.

"Thank you, elder!"

As he spoke, he carefully put the copper wrench into his pocket, and forgot about it when he turned his head.

"I don't know His Royal Highness, what's the matter?"

Yu Shinan nervously touched the token on his sleeve.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that they were discussing the establishment of a reserve here?

Li Chengqian cleared his throat, sat next to Wang Ji, and said: "All masters are educated, and the crown prince has a doubt in his heart, so I ask you masters to give some advice!"

Wang Ji glanced at Li Chengqian.

He is not young, but his eyes are surprisingly sharp.

When Li Chengqian opened the door just now, he saw Liu Bai sitting under the wintersweet tree in the yard.

When Li Chengqian came in, it was clearly Liu Bai's order!

Children can't guess what they want to do, but Liu Bai, who is full of eyes, can't guess.

Wang Ji smiled, and said: "You talk, the old man's task has been completed, go to the yard for a walk!"

As he said that, he picked up the teacup, and regardless of the eyes of the people, he kept sweeping at himself, and walked out on his own.

Everyone was even more disturbed, especially the few people who had expressed their views just now.

The establishment of a reserve is related to the future fate of the world, even if they want to support Li Chengqian, they can't let him know now.

If the prince knows that all the bosses in the center are inclined to him, why not drift away?

It is enough to support secretly and let Liu Bai know behind his back.

"I don't know His Royal Highness, what doubts do you have?" Yu Shinan asked.

Li Chengqian chuckled, and said: "The prince has been reading some records about the Western Regions recently. As we all know, the 36 countries in the Western Regions, although it is difficult to call it a serious problem for my confidants in the Central Plains, but there are always wars happening along the border!"

Everyone nodded.

His Royal Highness has begun to care about national affairs, which is gratifying!

Li Chengqian said again: "But in the history books, only Tianzhu and Dashi in the far west are recorded! But further west, what country is there?"

Everyone was stunned.

Even Yu Shinan, who was one of the most educated in the imperial court, was speechless.

Since Banchao in the Han Dynasty, he contributed his pen to join the army, and opened up the Western Regions for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was so powerful that many people were interested in the land of the Western Regions.

Places such as the Kucha Kingdom, the Loulan Kingdom, and the Nine Surnames of Zhaowu can always appear on the memorials of the court.

Now in Chang'an, there are many businessmen from the Western Regions.

Things are very expensive to sell.

But no one has ever mentioned, what is the west side of the Western Regions?

Yu Shinan, who originally wanted to solve His Royal Highness's doubts, touched his neck in embarrassment.

"May I ask His Royal Highness, where is Dashi?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback and scratched his head.

"You masters don't know about Dashi?"

Not to mention that the old guys don't know, Li Chengqian himself doesn't even know what 'Dashi' is.

All these words of his were listened to by Liu Bai.

In fact, the so-called Dashi, that is, the Arab Empire.

However, the name "Dashi" did not appear until the seventh year of Zhenguan, and it was not gradually known to the Central Plains people until the Tang Xuanzong era nearly a hundred years later.

The old guys nodded one after another, all showing inquiring expressions.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince followed Liu Bai, it was not in vain!

The name 'Dashi' sounds like it's not close to the Central Plains, so it must be the family tradition of the Liu family, so you must listen carefully!

This time, it was Li Chengqian's turn to be embarrassed.

"Da Shi Da Shi means that the Western Regions are still going west, probably, probably thousands of miles away," Li Chengqian said vaguely.

The old guys nodded approvingly.

The knowledge of His Highness the Crown Prince is really profound!

Even the distance is known!

"His Royal Highness, I don't know how big the national power is? Will it pose a threat to our dynasty?"

They are all court ministers. When they know a country they have never heard of, their first reaction is whether it will pose a threat to their own country.

How did Li Chengqian know?

He was stunned for a moment, then said, "It should be a very big country."

The old guys nodded again.

"Your Highness, please tell me in detail!"

Li Chengqian was completely speechless.

Obviously I wanted to ask a question myself, why now I have answered it myself?

He thought for a long time to explain, and said: "In short, Dashi is very big, and there are several countries to the west, all of which are rich in products and strong in national power!"

Fang Xuanling, who had never spoken a word, became more serious the more he listened.

"His Royal Highness, what you just said is not trivial! Our Tang Dynasty has a large population, and the land distributed equally to everyone is getting less and less. If there is a country in the world that is comparable to my land in the Central Plains , that is the solution to my number one crisis in the Tang Dynasty!"

A large population and a small amount of land have always been the most worrying things for important officials like them.
