Changsun Wuji was not wrong. These places were obtained by relying on Su Li. After all, for Datang, its territory more than doubled, all thanks to Su Li's victory in one battle. Subsequently, Datang was able to march into the northwest and develop steadily, largely due to the intimidation of Su Li's name. The barbarians were afraid of Su Li and did not dare to hinder the Tang army's development or rebel. They could only cross the plateau, desert, and snow-capped mountains to escape East Asia. DJ… Today's development of the northwest relies entirely on Datang's manpower and material resources. Li Er devoted a lot of effort to developing the northwest, but now that Li Er has given up the entire northwest as Su Li's fiefdom, how can Li Er bear the pain and give up his love? "It's easy to say that they are kings side by side. I don't hesitate to use this name, but the entire northwest territory is a big matter... I still need to consider it..." Li Er waved his hand. Even Li Er found it difficult to make up his mind to seal Su Li's fiefdom over the entire northwest. The whole northwest!

Including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Congling, Lake Baikal, Dawan, and even the Outer Three Passes... Such a vast territory, said to be a king, is actually no different from a country. Moreover, Li Er knew Changsun Wuji's thoughts. He said that he wanted to grant the northwest to Su Li, but it was better to say that he gave the northwest to Su Li as a country. Once Su Li secured the northwest, it also meant that he was officially separated from the Tang Dynasty. From then on, there was no relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and there was no difference between Su Li and independence. Moreover, Li Er has long granted Su Li various privileges, refusing to worship the emperor when he sees him, etc... Fortunately for Su Li, with Changle's affection, the northwest would not be completely separated from the Tang Dynasty. It was still nominally the territory of the Tang Dynasty. But what about after Su Li? How close is the relationship between the Su family and Datang? The Su family occupies such a vast territory, even larger than the entire Central Plains. Would they still be willing to succumb to the Li family and become king? Would they still be willing to become a subsidiary of the Tang Dynasty? And the most terrible thing is that once this decision is made, it is almost equivalent to making Su Li independent. Li Er has no way to infiltrate manpower to the northwest... Yes... Li Er has a way to infiltrate other vassals, and even many small affiliated countries of the Tang Dynasty. After all, he has the entire Tang Dynasty behind him. Even if he infiltrates the people, other small affiliated countries will only suffer the loss. , or even turn a blind eye. But Su Li is different. Once Su Li is allowed to be independent, and secretly infiltrates people to try to control the government, the relationship between the two will only become rigid. This is a consequence that Li Er cannot bear. Su Li alone and Li Er don't know how to be hostile. These things made Li Er hesitant! Seeing Li Er's hesitation, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and held Li Er's hand. "Your Majesty... I dare to say something personal about this matter." Changsun Wuji spoke emotionally. "Wuji just say it doesn't matter!" Li Er nodded. "A clever thing... There has been a gap between His Majesty and King Yongle. Now the people of the Tang Dynasty also believe in Su Li more than their Majesty. The barbarians in the northwest are only afraid of the power of Su Li. Whoever cares about the imperial court? Who doesn't worry about it?" Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice. "Your Majesty, if you don't let the northwest go, you have to worry about King Yongle no matter what you do. It's better to give the northwest to King Yongle. It's separated by six internal and external barriers. It's so far away that it's not easy to lose affection."

"Besides, King Yongle is staying in Chang'an. What I'm most worried about is not His Majesty, but the fear that there will be someone who doesn't open his eyes... The child slave is young and doesn't understand yet. But when he grows up, the young man in bright clothes will be angry with the horse. , I am also afraid that the young slave will lose his sense of proportion..." Changsun Wuji confided in a deep voice. After Li Er listened, there was only silence. Changsun Wuji expressed three views 1... Nowadays, whether in the Central Plains or the northwest, Su Li's reputation is far better than that of Li Er. Two... It is better to move Su Li to the northwest of the fiefdom, the sky is high and the sky is far away. It is better to no longer be restrained and worry about Su Li's ideas, and to do their own things, rather than being involved in everything now. Three... If Su Li stays in Chang'an, someone might touch Su Li's brow one day, and Li Er can only compromise. This will only make the monarch's power weaker and weaker, and Li Er will As the successor, Zhi Zhi will also face this kind of situation in the future, so it is better to simply endure the pain and separate the family. Changsun Wuji mentioned all three points that hurt Li Er, making it difficult for Li Er to make up his mind. Because the northwest territory is too vast, once it is granted to Su Li, it may have nothing to do with Li Er from now on. It is called the king, but it is actually the establishment of a country. Secondly, because Li Er has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the northwest, he has spent too many resources and efforts, and the sunk costs are too high... Li Er's eyes hesitated and he moved his fingers lightly. Changsun Wuji saw Li Er wavering and spoke immediately. "Your Majesty... the mountains and rivers are the most beautiful from a distance!" When Li Er heard this, he suddenly looked at Changsun Wuji, his eyes fixed in the room for an instant! The meaning of this sentence is self-evident. Compare Su Li to a mountain! When Su Li stayed in Chang'an, it was no less than a mountain pressing down on his head. Anyone would feel suffocated and frightened by the slightest friction. The northwest of Su Li fiefdom is where the mountains and rivers are the most beautiful from a distance. Only the beautiful scenery is left without the overwhelming experience of Mt. Tai. ". "Your Majesty is worried about what I am aware of... However, King Yongle opened factories in the Tang Dynasty, revised laws, and other things that have made the Tang Dynasty rich and powerful. Compared with the manpower and material resources invested in the northwest, , a world of difference, and besides, Princess Changle is still there, so the friendship will not be lost, and the road beyond the Great Wall will not be cut off. Moreover, King Yongle has sealed the northwest, and must continue to develop it. The northwest is rarely populated, so it must rely on the Tang Dynasty. The manpower and material resources are good, so this is a lot of progress, I don’t know what will happen next, but now King Yongle and Zhinu are still in the country of brothers, and they have affection, so as to avoid something clever happening again!" Changsun Wuji said seriously. At this point, Li Chengqian had already taken it out and whipped the corpse again, and Li Er could not tolerate any further hesitation. Su Li continues to stay in Chang'an, which is a big mountain in everyone's heart! It's really not as good as what Changsun Wuji said. Separate the family early so that nothing bad will happen in the future and the last bit of love will be broken. (get money) "*......!" Li Er waved his hand... Li Er agreed to Changsun Wuji's proposal, but the entire northwest restricted almost all of Datang's external windows. Fortunately, Datang still has room for development in the southeast direction... Lingnan, as well as Silla and Baekje overseas, would not let the Tang Dynasty be so tightly locked in a place like the Central Plains. There is always room for continued progress in the future. "Then I will grant Su Li the title of King of Side by Side, and seal the title of Northwest. The Federation will hold a meeting in a few days... Li Er looked at Changsun Wujiwei.

"There is another thing. Once the northwest is sealed off to Su Li, Datang will always be controlled by others. I plan to open a maritime bureau to plot the southeast..." Li Er has never been a person who lives in a corner. He couldn't afford to offend Su Li in the northwest, so he could only take advantage of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the people, and spend a lot of money to open the navigation technology tree. If you can't afford to offend Su Li, you can't afford to offend the barbarians?
