Yao Shougu looked into the distance, "As long as the imperial court and Northwest turn against each other, the world will be in chaos. At that time, the imperial court, Northwest, Southwest, Jiaozhi, Liaodong, and the Western Regions... will be completely in chaos. There are many ambitious people.

Now, everyone wants to be the king and hegemony. Any disturbance cannot be settled in less than thirty to fifty years. This has always been the case in the years when dynasties changed. And this time is the opportunity for the young master!"

Li Rendan: "...????" Don't the imperial court understand this truth? Those young masters who dare to do this to the imperial court are thinking that the imperial court does not dare to cause chaos, and will definitely acquiesce in the northwest's independence, or, that the northwest will temporarily

The reality of not returning to the imperial court. After giving Northwest enough autonomy, should we slowly start plotting?

Thinking this way, it is actually feasible.

But what does this lady from the Yao family mean by this? I don’t quite understand. Why is this my chance? I want money but no money, and I want no one, so I can only rely on flattering others to look more respectable than others and calling them younger brothers.

My sister's life is just a little better.

My chance? What is my chance?

Also, what does it mean that the imperial court and Northwest are completely at odds with each other, and how can they be completely at odds with each other?

Yao Shougu laid out the plan, "They plan to assassinate the princess, the eldest prince and others, but they can't do it with just a few assassins. Unless there is a legitimate reason, they can be transferred out of Yinzhou and then killed!"

Li Rendan's eyes widened: You're crazy!

He didn't say anything, just listened quietly. It wasn't until the other party finished speaking that he said, "I'll take you back."

Yao Shougu coughed and was really tired after being out for half a day.

After sending the person back, Li Rendan went to Ganlu Temple, asked someone to send a message to Yao Changji, and explained the matter in the main hall: "...this lady of yours is really amazing! Look at me today.

For Brother Yao's sake, I just pretend I've never heard of it. But I still have to restrain this lady's words and deeds, otherwise, the Yao family will be in bad luck, and I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the blame."

Yao Changji secretly resented: Why did such an idiot appear at that time and mess up everything?

If this continues, this woman will no longer be able to stay.

He said, "I understand...just go back. Don't mention this to anyone!"

yes!

Li Rendan left, but as soon as he got home, the head of the family was sitting at home. He was immediately flattered and asked, "Why are you here?"

Li Renyan chuckled, "Let's take a look at you!" She then looked up and down this clan member, "I heard that the eldest lady of the Yao family is here to look for you?"

Li Rendan didn't know how to answer the call.

Li Renyan said: "If this lady is serious, I, as your elder brother, will definitely propose to you. You don't need to worry about the bride price, and you don't need to take care of the house. I will definitely arrange the marriage in a dignified manner for you."

Don't! If you have such an ignorant person, it will be a disaster for the whole family.

He quickly stopped and told the story in a low voice.

Li Renyan was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"

yes!

Li Renyan pondered, "Then you're sick! Don't go out. Keep this matter in your stomach and don't mention it to anyone."

yes!

Li Renyan left, and Li Rendan stood there for a long time unable to recover, but his heart started to panic for no reason.

On the day of Qingming, ritual music was played and a great ceremony was held!

But on this day, news came - there was a rebellion in Shazhou!

Shazhou is a gathering area for the Uighurs!

As soon as the sacrifice was over, the military tent in the Duke's Mansion was raised. The old Duke sat high in the main hall, with the commanders on the left and the military generals sitting in two rows.

The Crown Prince sat sideways, and Link Yong could only sit in the audience seat.

The eldest prince, the second prince, all the way to Tongtong, and so on.

Lin Keqin clicked on Shazhou, "The Uighurs moved here from the oasis! They originally occupied the earlier Gaochang Kingdom, which is rich in products, including wheat, white seeds, and even planting mulberry and raising silkworms. It produces white salt.

, red salt, iron ore and gold mines are all very easy to mine! However, this place is too close to the Turks! Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Uighurs have been part of the Turkic Khanate alliance. When the Central Plains dynasty flourished, they secretly colluded. When the Central Plains dynasty was scattered, they

A natural alliance. During the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs did not submit to the Khitan. Now, with the establishment of the Chen Dynasty, the Uighurs are dissatisfied with moving eastward from the oasis and have the intention of rebelling and fleeing north. If we really ask the Uighurs to flee north, it will be difficult to maintain the contract between us and the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao Kingdom will definitely help the Uighurs get back the oasis land. Moreover, the place where the former Gaochang Kingdom was located is the only way to the Western Regions."

This is an important road connecting the Western Regions, and its military and economic value is immeasurable.

Lin Keyong then asked, "It is right to move them out, considering the overall situation; but to them, it is equivalent to taking away other people's property, how can others be convinced?"

"The ones who moved out were the nobles and their subordinates, leaving behind the other common people of the Uighurs!" Lin Keqin said, "The northwest has always advocated the mixing of tribes, which is also one of the reasons why the northwest has been relatively stable in the past twenty years. The Uighurs

Seventy people are still in the oasis! These seventy people did not get any benefit from the nobles when they were in the oasis! Those nobles just moved and their property was not confiscated. Of course, the right to mine and buy salt and iron was deprived.

"

Link nodded and asked, "Is there any compensation in Shazhou?"

"Yes! Shazhou has sandy land that can be planted. One hundred acres can be exchanged for two hundred acres!" Link said casually, "Even if you don't plant crops, as long as you plant trees, if you plant more than twenty acres of trees every year, you will be exempted from the tax per person."

Lin Yutong didn't know this! It turns out that there is a tree planting policy in the northwest.

She looked at the Fourth Master, who whispered: "If you cut down one tree, you must plant three more trees, otherwise you will be severely punished."

Then this must be what Taizu meant!

While there is still time to save, try to preserve water and soil as much as possible. This is the most precious resource left to future generations.

Fourth Master whispered, "Go and look at the surrounding cities. The vegetation coverage is extremely high, not inferior to the farming areas in the Central Plains."

Tongtong couldn't help but feel moved. It can be said that the Lin family has implemented some of Taizu's seemingly absurd ideas very well. In fact, planting trees is really not that complicated. For example, poplars, willows, and pomegranate trees can just be planted with stems.

To make it alive, cut off a branch, cut it into sections according to the bud points, insert it into the ground, pour a ladle of water into it, and it will come alive.

Based on this comparison, it is reasonable for the Lin family to restrict the Uighur nobles in this way.

Lin Ke didn't need to ask, Lin Keqin also said, "The Uighurs are not many in number, but they believe in Manichaeism...doctrine is more difficult. If there is any friction, it must arise from the doctrine. And the doctrine can bring each other together."

People from different tribes united."

The dissatisfaction of Buddhism and the dissatisfaction of other religions is the reason why there are rebellions in the northwest.

Tongtong frowned, how do you talk about faith? In a thousand years, it will still be an unsolvable problem.

This is where they differ from the people of the Central Plains.

How to solve this problem in the long term is something that needs to be considered in the future! Now, those who start a rebellion must first put down the rebellion.

As we were talking here, there was a noise outside, and someone came to ask for a fight.

The leader was Yao Changji, followed by young people in his late teens or early 18s.

As soon as they came in, they all knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, Shazhou is only three or four days' journey from Yinzhou. It's just a small group of rebels. We are willing to go out to quell the rebellion..." After saying this, he looked

Looking at the eldest prince, he said, "I just came back from the sacrifice, and the heroic spirit is not far away. We, the younger generation, were born in the northwest and grew up in the northwest, so we should protect the northwest. Lord, please protect the northwest! We are sincere!"

"My lord, protect the heart of the northwest, we are sincere!"

If one person says it, everyone will follow!

Lin Chongwei chuckled lightly, "Monkey cubs, okay! If you want to go, you can go. It's already a red butt, so it doesn't matter if you get a few more slaps."

He looked at the crowd and said, "What do you think?"

Yao Pinghai glanced at his son and then said: "You're not young anymore. It's not an option to just be reluctant to give up. Several major generals are guarding the border, but there are still such spoiled brats. Since you want to fight, then call him.

!”

Commander Zuo then said, "War is not a child's play, you need someone who can lead you. Where is Chongwen? His name is Chongwen..."

"Old Commander!" The eldest prince stood up, "You young generals are sincere in protecting the northwest, and we are also sincere in protecting the northwest! We are in the northwest, and we should protect the northwest together. Since you young generals have asked for a fight, today, our brothers also ask for a fight.

.We are willing to go together to suppress the rebellion in Shazhou!"

this?

Commander Zuo looked at Lin Chongwei. If one or two people were injured, how would he explain it?

Lin Chongwei looked at his eldest son, "What do you think?"

Lin Keqin glanced at Link Yong and chuckled, "You princes are brave and brave. I have heard about it for a long time. Since His Highness has asked you to fight, then you should accept it! The commander... also takes a second life." As he said,

His eyes moved to Ma Chaogui, then passed over Yu Wenheng, and then he said: "You have led the troops. This trip, Ma Chaogui will be in charge, and Yu Wenheng will be his deputy. He will gather 5,000 men and horses, and we will send out the troops today."

Ma Chaogui is the son of Commander Zuo and the nephew of the Crown Prince's wife. He was able to lead the army the year before last, but he has been recuperating since he was injured on the battlefield. He heard that there was a rebellion and wanted to return to the army, but he met so many people who wanted to fight. And then he was given the opportunity.

Such an appointment.

He was not allowed to bargain before the battle, so he had to accept the order, "Now order the troops and send them out in an hour."

Lin Chongwei threw the token out, and Ma Chaogui caught it, then turned and left.

The eldest prince stood up, bowed, and then left.

Tongtong stood up, fell at the end, and left quickly.

The troops will be sent out in an hour, so preparations must be made immediately.

Lin Keqin shouted: "Tongtong——"

Tongtong stopped, looked back at his uncle, and asked with his eyes: Is there anything else you want to tell me?
To be continued...
