Chapter 690 Double Layout

Li Chengqian rarely took the initiative to invite people to dinner, nor did he go to other people's banquets, because everyone knew that the prince did not like extravagant banquets and delicacies. He would rather go to the places and the military camps and live like this than live like this, so it was extremely rare to receive the prince's invitation to a banquet.

Especially for the surrendered generals like Qi Wuhe Li, who do not love his uncle, who does not love his grandmother, has always been in an awkward situation. The only advantage is that they don’t have to go to the station and do nothing to enjoy high officials and generous salaries. They will be carefree all their lives, and they don’t have to worry about being eaten all day like they did when they were on the grassland.

If you have such a comfortable life, just roll your eyes and get some. Anyway, we are thick-skinned, as long as we can guarantee wealth and honor, there is still a blind way to eat or drink.

However, the prince's treat was really a little upset. When he first attacked Tuyuhun, he lost many tribes. This time the prince has set his sights on us again? Those tribes are the foundation of their own existence, and they have lost all their value. So Qi Li Heli walked into the hall with a nervous heart.

After a greeting, Li Chengqian introduced Feng Ang to him, and then warmly greeted the two of them to the table. In order to greet these two guys who were both slutty, Li Chengqian specifically told them to show off their skills, otherwise these two guys would laugh at our East Palace.

After thirty years of drinking, Li Chengqian asked Heng Lian to put a white jade Ruyi on Feng Ang's table, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Yue, what about your proposal? Gu reported to his father. He is happy to see this happening. But the children are still young and have not developed a temper, so let them get familiar with each other first. Only by being a friend of the general and childhood sweethearts can we, the elders, feel at ease.

In two days, the mother will issue an imperial edict to take her virtuous niece to the palace for her to raise her personally, and treat her with the princess. When their bodies grow into a bone, they will be named the Princess of Zhongshan. This Ruyi is a token of Xiang'er to the virtuous niece."

Youdao is three years old to see the old man. Before Qi Bi Heli came, Feng Ang played with Xiao Lixiang for a while. This little guy was obviously a long-lived and blessed person. According to the current development of the Tang Dynasty and his favor, and the emperor's caution in getting engaged to him, this little guy is probably the future prince of the Eastern Palace.

Although I have not received a formal edict, the prince is already very sincere in giving such a jade Ruyi. It is a lot to do. After all, the favors of the Tian family are limited, so it is time to be content.

OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK Tell me three good words in a row. Feng Ann smiled and nodded, saying, "It's still the fact that Your Majesty and the Empress are fully thought about. The Feng family can be so favored, and the old ministers and the whole mansion are honored."

After listening for a long time, it turned out that the East Palace and the Duke of Yue were married. The news shocked Qi Ji Heli. He knew very well what the identity of the King of Zhongshan was. The Feng family really took it out. This is a great grace!

But what does this have to do with me? Why do you want to let me know about this? Qi Bi He Li's heart was confused again, but he still understood the principle that everyone was carrying the flower sedan chair, so he quickly picked up the wine glass and toasted Li Chengqian and Feng Ang, and said a lot of auspicious words.

"Duke of Hui, during the first Western Expedition, Qili's troops suffered a lot of casualties, but they still kept moving forward until the last battle. These orphans were kept in mind. The Lord of Lintao County is also the daughter of the royal family, and you are also a royal relative. If the royal family has good things, they naturally cannot forget you!"

Li Chengqian's words almost made Qi Li cry. This was not to say that the prince's words were so touching, but to think of the warriors who sacrificed their lives to make the tribe gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty. They used their precious lives to make the proud prince of the Tang Dynasty recognize Qi Li, which was very important for the tribe's stable life in the future.

So, he rubbed his hands excitedly, and a honest expression appeared on Qi Li's face, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, what a good thing? Is the little prince also going to choose a concubine in my Qi Li's department? That's nothing to say. As long as you speak, I will bring you the girl from the New Year!"

Qi Li said with a patted chest and looked extremely serious, but Li Chengqian and Feng Ang were helpless by him. Not to mention that Li Xiang is still a baby who is not good at speaking. Even if he grows up, the royal family's children cannot choose a concubine like the grassland.

This is an era when he pays great attention to bloodline. Even if Li Xiang becomes the emperor in the future, the harem will not choose a concubine like this. This guy is honest enough.

"Duke Hui, you're kidding. That kid can't afford to enjoy such a bliss! Let's get back to the point and talk about the serious matters!" After saying that, Li Chengqian took out two maps from the table next to him, waved to the two, and signaled them to come.

The two maps were from the Lingnan region and the Western Turks. Li Chengqian immediately pointed out the court's proposal to them: First of all, Lingnan, near the South China Sea countries, the court would build a new trading port there, and countless Tang Dynasty commodities would be loaded there and sold to other countries.

At the same time, in order to strengthen control over the South China Sea, in addition to rectifying the original local naval forces, the court will also transfer the newly built naval forces to the Lingnan Military Port within two years and uniformly under the command of the Duke of Yue. There are many small countries there, pirates are rampant, and it is also a place for prisoners to be exiled, especially in Yazhou, which is necessary to ensure the road to sea trade.

The country is huge and makes the monarch work hard. If one more tax road, the pressure on the Ministry of Revenue will be smaller and the people will be more affordable. Therefore, Feng Ang still has a lot to do when he goes back.

As for Heli, the task is much simpler, which is to form a desert bandit of ten thousand people, go deep into the hinterland of the Western Turks, fight, force, and kill at will, and all the seized spoils belong to them. The beheading level is calculated according to military merits, adding another fire to the chaos in the Western Turks, completely mixing it into a pot of porridge, and consuming their national strength to the greatest extent.

At the same time, in order to make this 10,000 cavalry without worries, several supply points will be established on the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turkic Republic for them to replenish. Their family and the imperial court will also give a reward to the grassland, which can be regarded as reducing some burden to the Qilijie tribe.

Recently, the little king of the Western Turks, Abu Bu Zhen, came to surrender. He was familiar with the grass and trees of the Western Turks. He joined the army and contacted those tribes that were unwilling to be ruled by them. He must have entered the sea like a fish.

This is a good thing for Qi Li, not to mention that this can change their Qi Li tribe's status in the Tang Dynasty, but also protect the revenge of a single arrow many years ago. Such a transaction is very profitable, even if it loses money, Qi Li is willing to make a claim. So after thanking the prince, Qi Li went to Ah Zhi Bu Zhen happily.

Looking at his back, Feng Ang said meaningfully: Your Highness, aren’t you afraid that he will take the opportunity to become bigger? Old Feng’s words were not only for Qi Wu He Li, but also for himself. Li Chengqian could not know such a simple truth.
