Chapter 456 Volume 5: Scheme against Niu Jinda

When Niu Jinda came in, Wu An saluted and said: "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Go and do your work first and give me an answer as soon as possible."

Wu An nodded, turned around and left immediately.

After he left, Li Chengqian stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Niu, come and sit down."

Li Chengqian was still very polite to Niu Jinda.

This guy is currently the only representative of the Tang Dynasty military in the Ming Dynasty.

And Li Chengqian was about to offend the Tang Dynasty military, so he naturally had to do something to redeem himself.

In the future, he will need the support of the military when he returns to the Tang Dynasty to inherit the great treasure.

Therefore, Li Chengqian's politeness to Niu Jinda had a purpose.

When Niu Jinda saw this, he was a little flattered and said immediately: "Your Highness is welcome."

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Sit down. I asked Uncle Niu to come over today. My nephew also has something to discuss with Uncle Niu."

"If your Highness has any instructions, just tell them." Niu Jinda stood up immediately and said, "I will do my best to complete it."

"It's just a little thing." Li Chengqian said, "My nephew just wants Uncle Niu to write a letter to Uncle Cheng and the others."

"Write a letter to Cheng Yaojin and the others?" Niu Jinda was obviously stunned for a moment, but it only took him a moment before he came to his senses.

Li Chengqian wanted to sell weapons to Xue Yantuo, which would inevitably create a quarrel with the Tang Dynasty's military. The purpose of writing a letter to Cheng Yaojin at this time is naturally self-evident.

Moreover, it was obvious that Li Chengqian wanted him to write this letter.

After all, anyone can write a letter, whether it is Li Chengqian or Cheng Chumo, who can't write a letter to Cheng Yaojin? The reason why he was chosen is that he is a member of the Tang Dynasty military.

He is naturally more convincing when he writes this letter.

"Why does Your Highness want Wei Chen to write this letter?" Niu Jinda asked.

Li Chengqian said: "There are no specific requirements for the content, but there is one thing that must be said."

"Your Highness, please make it clear."

"Explain the situation." Li Chengqian said, "Be sure to explain clearly the actual situation of Ming Dynasty. It's not that Ming Dynasty must sell weapons to Xue Yantuo. It's really that Ming Dynasty lacks supplies now. Do you understand?"

Niu Jinda nodded, isn't it just a misfortune?

He understands this.

But he couldn't say whether the letter had any effect.

After all, the Ming Dynasty sold its weapons to Xue Yantuo, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty must have suffered the most.

Even if he explained the situation, when the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suffered huge casualties, they would definitely put the account on Li Chengqian's head.

This is inevitable.

How is it possible that people's emotions can be understood just because they are difficult for you?

There has never been any real empathy in this world, because your difficulties are only your difficulties, what does it have to do with others?

Because of your difficulties, my brother was killed. It is not that easy to untie this knot.

Of course, this is the only thing Li Chengqian can do. He must have this attitude so that he can find opportunities to completely untie this knot in the future.

He wanted to return to Chang'an, so there were some things he had to do first.

Niu Jinda nodded. He had actually been prepared for this matter.

And Li Chengqian didn't say much on this matter. Some things don't need to be explained so clearly.

"I'm going to trouble Uncle Niu about this." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "By the way, I'm calling Uncle Niu here this time. There's one more thing I need to trouble Uncle Niu about."

"Is there anything else?" Niu Jinda was a little confused and asked immediately, "I wonder if your highness has anything else to explain?"

"Uncle Niu should also know." Li Chengqian said, "Now, Ashina Nishu has led the entire Western Turks to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Although it is a good thing, Uncle Niu should also know about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. He said that he has too much time to take care of himself.

Nothing too much.

In this way, the Western Turks have become a burden to our Ming Dynasty.

But let's face it, if you don't care about it, it won't work.

But if you take care of it, my Ming Dynasty really can’t spare any manpower now.”

Having said this, Li Chengqian sighed, "Hey, it's not that we can't find people, it's just that we don't have the right people.

Although Pu Shangshu, Yi Shangshu and others are barely capable of taking charge of their own affairs, it is indeed not enough for them to govern one party.

As for the eldest grandson rushing to them." Speaking of this, Li Chengqian shook his head, "They are still too young, they are not good enough, or not enough, they still need to experience."

When Niu Jinda heard what Li Chengqian said, he understood instantly.

Li Chengqian wants to take over the Western Turks himself!

This is a tough nut to crack.

In any case, the Western Turks are the territory of Ashina Nishu. Although Ashina Nishu has nominally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty really wants to send officials to govern, he will not refuse, but will he cooperate?

, that’s two things to say...

"Your Highness, this..." Niu Jinda hesitated.

It is still very challenging for him to take charge of one party, especially the Western Turks.

Therefore, he deliberately refused.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he isn't sure.

After all, this is not his strong point. If you ask him to lead troops to fight, he will definitely not be timid, but when it comes to playing these politics, he is indeed a little unable to do what he wants.

"Uncle Niu, you can't refuse my nephew on this matter." Li Chengqian immediately took Niu Jinda's hand and said, "Now my nephew does not have a suitable candidate. If not, my nephew will not trouble Uncle Niu.

This is what my nephew thinks.

Since Ashina Nishu has joined the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with me sending an official to take charge of the government, right?

Otherwise, what kind of surrender is this?

Of course, if Ashina Nishi refuses, it means that they are not sincerely loyal, and they don't want the Western Turks!

When the royal court of Ming Dynasty becomes stronger and stronger, I will send Uncle Niu to open up territory for Ming Dynasty.

But if he agrees, then Uncle Niu must take up the post in person.

That’s what my nephew thinks.”

After Li Chengqian thought about it for a while, he said, "As long as Ashina Nishu agrees, then I will appoint Uncle Niu as the Protector of the Western Regions and be in charge of all military and political affairs in the Western Regions."

After he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

Good guy, being in charge of all military and political affairs is a huge power.

But everyone quickly reacted.

Li Chengqian said so, but as for the question, will Ashina Ni cooperate?

You said that taking charge of all military and political affairs means taking charge of all military and political affairs?

Do you regard Ashina Nishe as a dead person?

"Your Highness, veteran..." Niu Jinda was still a little frightened. Of course, it would be a lie to say he was not.

The rights given by Li Chengqian were unimaginable in the Tang Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he can really take charge of all military and political affairs in the Western Turks, then the rebels will have enough wealth.

He doesn't dare to ask for this right, nor does he want it!

"Uncle Niu, this matter really bothers you." Li Chengqian knew what he was thinking, and immediately patted Niu Jinda who was sitting on the chair, and said with a smile, "You also know that there is really no one in the Ming Dynasty who is enough.

Someone who can take the lead.

If you really want to say that there is, Qibi Shangshu can be considered one, but Qibi Shangshu is really inappropriate.

If Uncle Niu doesn't help my nephew, it will be really difficult for him."

How could Li Chengqian let Niu Jinda go?

It's not that he can't find anyone to do this, but Niu Jinda is the only one who is most suitable.

Niu Jinda shook his head, he was really not easy to pick up.

But Li Chengqian had already talked about this, and it was really hard for him to refuse anymore.

After hesitating for a long time, Niu Jinda stood up and said: "The old minister will do his best to govern the Western Turks for His Highness."

After Niu Jinda finished speaking, Li Chengqian smiled and nodded immediately: "When it comes to this kind of thing, Uncle Niu is the most reliable. Although our Ming court has many talents, there are really few who are as old and strong as Uncle Niu.

of."
