Chapter 531 The Silk Road War (2)

Many people saw Gu Qing's thoughts. The entire Shangshu Province was very quiet, and the voices of the coming and going were much lowered.

Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong didn't dare to talk, and it was the first time I saw Gu Qing with such a solemn expression.

The whole of Chang'an was talking about the war in the Middle East. As soon as the court made a noise, the public spread. Di Renjie also learned the news, and Pei Xingjian also learned the news.

Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo sat together and discussed the situation in the Middle East.

Persia is at stake, and Dashi and Tianzhu are attacking Persian territory.

"So you are all here." Li Tai walked into this tavern, which was Cheng Chumo's wife's tavern. Since he entered Cheng's house, the tavern has almost never opened.

"Your Highness of the King of Wei." Su Dingfang stood up and saluted.

Cheng Chumo and Xue Rengui also saluted.

"Sit all." Li Tai walked into the tavern, closed the door and said to the three people in front of him, "This time the court is discussing when it will be more appropriate to send troops."

"Lao Fang." Cheng Chumo looked at Su Dingfang.

"I think I'll send a first marching first to go to the Persian border to keep the Persian royal family first, and if necessary, save the Persian royal family first." Su Dingfang whispered, "What Chu Suiliang and Gu Qing said, we all understand that the existence of Persia is indeed needed at the western end of the trade route to check and balance the entire Middle East."

"That's right!" Li Tai nodded, "The eyes of Dashi and Tianzhu are so fierce that they know that Persia is important to the trade route, so they attack Persia to force us to take action."

"If we send troops like this, wouldn't we bet on the Dashi and Tianzhu's thoughts?"

"For them, it's a killing of two birds with one stone." Su Dingfang sighed, "But for us, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to completely grasp the Western trade routes. Your Majesty will not want to miss it. Since the annexation of Tubo, Your Majesty's ambition has always been great."

"I'll go and give advice to my father." Li Tai stood up and "send a first march into Persia first."

"Slow down!" Di Renjie also walked into the tavern, "Don't give advice at this time. I know that Your Highness, the King of Wei, is very anxious, but Your Highness, the King of Wei, should not tell His Majesty about Persia at present."

“Why?”

Di Renjie gave Li Tai a look.

Li Tai immediately understood, and sat down again. He was too anxious and almost lost his composure. Di Renjie said it right. Even if he had any ideas, he could not talk to his father. If he made a claim to his father, what would his father think? As a prince, he should not easily touch him in military affairs.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Su, Brother Xue, don't be anxious anymore." Di Renjie sat down and said, "The argument between the teacher and Chu Suiliang was beaten back by Master Gongfang Xiang. Now the court is just talking, just wait for the news."

"I heard it too." Li Tai nodded, "Gu Qing wanted his father to take this opportunity to incorporate Persia into the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

The tavern fell into silence again. Cheng Chumo was drinking quietly and didn't know what to say. Now he could only wait for the movement in the palace and enter Chang'an with the Persian prince.

There were a lot of discussions in the court. After Chu Suiliang and Gu Qing argued, both of them became quiet and no longer expressed their opinions on this matter.

Gu Qing sat at home, Chu Suiliang's approach was correct, and it made sense for him to refute him.

Wu Mei looked at the sky falling again, "Husband, the weather is cold."

"I know." Gu Qing closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Girl, it's going to fight again."

"I know, too." Wu Mei sat beside Gu Qing and whispered, "The children have all gone to bed. The soldiers from Youzhou and Jiangnan Road have all arrived in the East China Sea and are ready to go."

"The East China Sea and the West have been doing so many things this year." Gu Qing sighed.

Three days later, Gu Qing had been in court for three consecutive days. It would be rare for Gu Qing to attend court for one day, but it would take three consecutive days? This incident was a bit shocking. Has the legendary Marquis Gu changed?

Just today, the Persian prince finally came to Chang'an and came to Chengtian Gate.

In the court, all officials were waiting for Li Er to speak.

"Please enter the palace by the Persian prince." Li Er whispered.

Wang Qin nodded, and the eunuchs in the palace began to pass messages. The people from the Ministry of Rites took the Persian prince step by step into the palace, walked step by step into the Tai Chi Palace, and came to Li Er.

"Prince of Persia, Guluoduo pays homage to His Majesty the Tang Dynasty!" The Persian prince saluted a long time.

"Your prince still knows Guanzhong dialect?" Li Er asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty!" said the Persian prince, "For a long time, the business in the Central Plains is far from the West. In order to do business with the people of the Central Plains and to express our respect to the Tang Dynasty, Persian merchants and even royal families can speak Guanzhong dialect."

"Is Persia safe?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"I guess the Tang Dynasty knew." The Persian prince knelt on one knee and said, "I would like to ask the Tang Dynasty to support us in Persia. Persia is willing to repair it with the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and from then on, we will work together to explore peace on the trade road."

Chu Suiliang stepped forward and asked the Persian prince, "Since Persia hopes that our Tang Dynasty can help, what should Persia do in Tubo?"

The Persian prince knelt on the ground and remained silent.

"I'll have a question below." Gu Qing also asked the Persian prince, "Why do you think we will help you? We can wait for you Persia and Dashi, and the three sides of the Tianzhu kill you to death and I will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

The Persian prince remained silent.

The court also fell into silence.

It has been hinted that it is so obvious, why has this Persian prince not expressed his opinion yet?

"I, Persian prince, Guluoduo is willing to be a proton in the Tang Dynasty!" The Persian prince said, "As long as I, Guluoduo, is in Chang'an, Persia will definitely follow the leader of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Hahahaha." Gu Qing suddenly laughed, laughing loudly.

Receiving the shocked gazes around him, Gu Qing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I can't help it. Please ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins."

"Then I want to ask why the Shangshu Ling laughed?"

"Your Majesty." Gu Qing spoke in his voice, "I am good at doing business. If we support Persia, we must cross the Western Regions. The journey is long during the support of Persia! Our support for Persia can help Persia calm the war and enjoy peace again. The Persian prince can also eat and drink for free in Chang'an! This transaction of Persia is simply too profitable."

Li Er fell into deep thought again.

The Persian prince looked flushed...

"Cough cough cough..." Cheng Yaojin coughed hard.

The atmosphere was awkward for a long time, and the Persian prince raised his head again, "What should the Tang Dynasty do to Persia to send troops to support us."
