Datang romantic little landlord

As long as Hu merchants do not participate in the auction, that is a good thing.

Hacock was very sorry, but he had nothing to say, he could only bow and salute Li Wangyou with one hand on his chest, expressing his gratitude.

Although this Buddha statue was auctioned by Hacock for the Lord of Gaochang, it was not free.If it was photographed and shipped to Gaochang Kingdom, the Lord of Gaochang would be willing to give even 10 taels of gold or even more.

Such a large and predictable profit flew out of thin air, and Harcock's regret can be imagined.

In the box, Li Er was very surprised after hearing Li Wangyou's words.

Why did he order Li Wangyou to cast a Buddha statue specifically for the Lord of Gaochang?How can there be such a thing?Didn't this idiot falsely preach the imperial decree in front of his face?

But since Li Wangyou said this in public, although Li Er was puzzled, he also knew that his nephew must have a reason.

Therefore, Li Er, who was passed on the "false decree", did not say a word, did not refute it, but waited for Li Wangyou's explanation.

After Li Wangyou spoke out to prevent Hu merchants from continuing to bid, the auction below was able to continue.

He turned his head and bowed slightly to Li Er, made an apologetic expression, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, please forgive me, my nephew just made a claim without asking uncle's consent, and proposed under the guise of uncle's name." I want to present the statue of the Lord of Gaochang as a gift."

Li Er waved his hand: "It's okay, Ziyou, tell me, what is your purpose for doing this?"

"Hey, uncle, nephew, I am preparing for my uncle to conquer the countries of the Western Regions."

"Oh? Let me explain it in detail!" Li Er suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked.

Li Wangyou didn't hold back, and explained: "Uncle, with the military strength of my Tang Dynasty, it is easy to destroy the countries in the Western Regions. But as the saying goes, the teacher is born without a name, and uncle must also have a headache. What excuses do you use to conquer the countries in the Western Regions?" country? Especially the wife of the lord of Gaochang Kingdom, who was conferred the title of Princess Changle by my uncle. If there is no suitable excuse, I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot use weapons rashly."

Since ancient times, China has always needed to find an excuse for itself if it wanted to launch a crusade, and to have the name of being a teacher.

Whether it is Kuangfu Han Dynasty or the battle of Jingnan, in short, there must be an explanation.

Even in later generations, if Ying Jiang wants to fight a fool, he still has to carry a bag of washing powder, saying it is a weapon of mass destruction.

In short, you must have a reason to send troops, otherwise you will be an unjust army and will not be popular among the people.

Historically, the Tang Dynasty had been peeping at the countries of the Western Regions for a long time, but it was not until the 13th year of Zhenguan that the Tang Dynasty found an excuse, saying that the Gaochang Kingdom had formed an alliance with the Western Turks, which violated the power of the Tang Dynasty, so it launched an army crusade.

In the 14th year of Zhenguan, Gaochang State was destroyed by Hou Junji.

Ever since Li Wangyou presented the map and strategic goals, including Li Er, all the big figures in the Tang Dynasty were wondering what excuses they could use to crusade against Gaochang.

Now the relationship between the two countries is good, just before Li Wangyou offered advice, at the beginning of this year, Qu Wentai, the lord of Gaochang Kingdom, came to Chang'an with his wife to meet Li Er.

Li Er also granted his wife the surname Li and named her Princess Changle.

In this case, even if Li Er was itchy, he couldn't move Gao Chang for a while.

Hearing what Li Wangyou said, Li Er naturally understood that his nephew had another plan, and couldn't help being overjoyed: "Ziyou, tell me quickly, but there is a way?"

969 Recommend Lu Guogong

Facing Li Er's question, Li Wangyou whispered a few words into his ear with a small smile.

An expression of surprise, joy and confusion appeared on Li Er's face.

"Ziyou, are you serious? But how is this Liuli possible..."

Li Wangyou smiled and said, "Uncle, this matter is certainly true. I will ask the craftsman to make a Buddha statue first, and uncle will know the truth after he tries it."

"Okay, okay! If that's the case, Ziyou will be the first to defeat Gaochang Kingdom!"

"My nephew doesn't dare to take the credit, but if my uncle sends troops to attack Gaochang, my nephew would like to recommend someone as commander."

Li Er glanced at him, and replied with a smile that was not a smile: "Oh? Ziyou, who do you want to recommend? Is it knowledgeable or respectful?"

Li Wangyou shook his head again and again: "No, no! Letting Uncle Cheng and Uncle Yuchi attack Gaochang Kingdom, wouldn't it be like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer?"

"Could it be Shubao? That's impossible. Shubao is not in good health, so don't be too tired."

"Of course not. If my nephew dares to recommend Mr. Qin to my uncle, Uncle Cheng is so old...cough, Uncle Cheng will definitely beat my nephew's ass to death." Li Wangyou almost beat the old rascal in front of Li Er. Say three words.

However, Li Er also understood the meaning of his words, not only did not blame him, but nodded with sympathy.

Obviously, the fact that a certain person is an old hooligan has long been the consensus of the ruling and opposition parties...

"That Ziyou, who do you want to recommend as handsome?"

Li Wangyou smiled slightly and said a name, but Li Er was stunned.

"Duke Lu Guo!"

"Who?" Li Er thought he was hallucinating, and asked in disbelief.

"My nephew recommended Lu Guogong, Hou Gong as commander, and conquered Gaochang country."

Li Wangyou's answer surprised Li Er greatly.

After being stunned for a long time, Li Ercai looked at Li Wangyou with a complicated expression: "Ziyou, you actually recommended Junji, which I didn't expect. Tell me, why did you recommend Junji as handsome?"

The conflict between Li Wangyou and Hou Junji was well known in Chang'an City, and Li Er was of course well aware of it.

He is determined to resolve the conflict between the two, after all, one is the hero of the Xuanwumen Incident and his favorite general, and the other is his nephew who is extremely capable and has given him countless surprises.

As far as Li Er was concerned, he naturally didn't want the two of them to have too much trouble.

Li Er was very fond of Hou Junji. In history, Li Er not only sent Hou Junji to lead the army many times, but also moved him to Doctor Guanglu, promoted him to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and even included him in Lingyan Pavilion One of the 24 heroes.

Even if Hou Junji conspired against him, Li Er still wanted to pardon his capital crime before execution, which shows how much Li Er loves Hou Junji.

Li Wangyou is naturally aware of this, and when faced with Li Er's question, he just shrugged his shoulders easily: "My nephew really doesn't like Duke Lu's character, but he still recognizes his ability. Therefore, my nephew's recommendation of Duke Lu is just for the sake of fact. It is most appropriate for Duke Lu to be in command of the Gaochang Kingdom."

Li Er pondered for a while, then nodded: "I know, I will consider this matter myself."

Li Wangyou felt that his goal should be achieved, so he stopped talking and continued to look at the auction below.

The reason why he suddenly recommended Hou Junji to Li Er as commander was to ensure that when the Tang army conquered Gaochang, Hou Junji would still lead the army.

In fact, even if Li Wangyou didn't mention this matter with Li Er, Li Er still had a great possibility to choose Hou Junji as the commander when he went to Gaochang Kingdom.

Historically, it was Hou Junji who led the army to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom.Although it was the 13th year of Zhenguan, now it is eight years earlier, but it may not change.

Li Wangyou's words to Li Er are also to add a layer of insurance.

As for why he insisted on letting Hou Junji lead the expedition to Gaochang Kingdom, it was natural that he had a purpose that could not be understood by outsiders.

After Hu merchant Harcock withdrew from the bidding, the Buddhist eminent monk fought with other guests in full swing.

In the end, Buddhism was the better one, bidding 8000 taels of gold for this glazed Tathagata statue.
