Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 386

Gaochang King Ju Wentai died of fear, and his son Ju Zhisheng succeeded him.The Tang army went straight to the city of Gaochang. Ju Zhisheng opened the city gate and surrendered without a fight.In this western expedition, a total of 22 cities were obtained, with a population of [-] people, and the land was expanded to [-] miles from east to west, and [-] miles from north to south...

It can be described as a great victory of overturning the country and opening up borders!

The Tang Dynasty established the Anxi Duhufu in Hecheng at the turn of the northwest of Gaochang. The first Daduhu was Qiao Shiwang, who managed the military and political affairs in the Western Regions.

So far, the land of the Great Tang is bounded by the sea in the east, Yanqi in the west, Linyi in the south, and the desert in the north.
Fang Jun knew that His Majesty Li Er was obsessed with opening up new territories. Taking Gaochang as his bridgehead, he successively captured the four towns of Anxi, including Qiuci, Yanqi, Khotan, and Shule, and built castles and military towns. Move the Anxi Duhufu to Qiuci.

After that, Tubo and Tang Dynasty repeatedly competed for the four towns of Anxi, and the Tang Dynasty also gave up the four towns of Anxi twice, which led to the change of hands many times. Until the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the four towns of Anxi fell one after another...

*****
Fang Jun prepared a grand banquet and greeted Qiao Shiwang and his party in the Gaochang Palace.

Not only all the nobles, officials, and generals of Gaochang were present, but also the two countries, Qiuci and Yanqi, and the king himself. It can be seen that the countries in the Western Regions attach great importance to the newly established Anxi Duhufu. It is no surprise that from now on , the Western Regions will be firmly controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and the forces of the Turks have to escape the desert.

In particular, when Hou Junji attacked Gaochang before, he had sent someone to invite Yanqi and the Tang army to encircle Gaochang, and Yanqi expressed his willingness to obey.After the fall of Gaochang, King Yanqi went to the army camp of the Tang Dynasty to meet Hou Junji, saying that the three cities of Yanqi had been captured by Gaochang first, and Hou Junji was very particular about returning the three cities together with the Yanqi people whom Gaochang had plundered. ...

From this, it can be seen that the Tang Dynasty is still good for the pro-friendly forces. Even if it occupied the Gaochang Kingdom, it did not carry out the massacre of the country. Obviously, it attaches great importance to the land of the Western Regions.

At this time, if you don't come to compliment the new Anxi Protector, when will you wait?

Of course, Duhu Anxi is the immediate boss in the future, and he needs to be courteous, but even if Fang Jun is about to return to Chang'an, no one dares to play a scene of "the tea is cold before people leave."Whether the winery or the woolen mill will bring huge profits to Gaochang, there is no doubt about it. If you offend Fang Jun, what if they don't take you to play?
So, there was an interesting scene at the banquet.

These nobles, merchants, even kings, grandsons, and state lords from the Western Regions opened their hands to offer cultivation and rare treasures to Lord Tuhu as a greeting, but on the other hand, they still respect Fang Jun as if they were gods. Being left out makes this God of Wealth unhappy...

Although Qiao Shiwang is a low-key person, his IQ is definitely not in arrears, otherwise he would not be able to achieve such a prominent position as the provincial governor.Looking at Fang Jun, who was chatting and laughing freely among the crowd, he couldn't help feeling secretly.

Pearls, even if buried in the soil, will eventually radiate brilliance...

Who would have expected that the playboy who used to be evil in Chang'an in the past would grow so impressively once he was given a heavy burden?
The more naughty the bear children are, the more promising they are, the ancients honestly did not deceive me...

However, seeing the same situation in Hou Wenxiao's eyes, he became more and more jealous.

Why would he impeach his uncle and put him in prison with one piece of writing, and cut his own brother to the front of the line, yet still be able to be so prosperous and majestic?
Hou Wenxiao gritted his teeth, followed Fang Jun's figure, and clenched his fists tightly...

King Baixiaojie of Qiuci is more than sixty years old, but he has a strong physique, vigorous spirit, and high-spirited spirit. He wears a brocade ribbon on his head and hangs down from the back. He is dressed in a robe with a folded lapel, lapel, narrow sleeves, rich ornaments, a belt around the waist, and long pedals. boots.

At this time, the king of Qiuci tightly held Fang Jun's hand and pretended to complain: "Why did the lord go to Gaochang, but the Qizi is far away? I once heard the name of the 'God of Wealth', and admired it in my heart. But why did the lord give Gaochang new-style wine brewing and wool spinning techniques, but why was he so stingy and dismissive of Wuqiuci?"

The old king had a handsome face. Although he was old, he spoke softly and had an excellent bearing.

When Fang Jun heard this, he laughed and said, "Your Excellency the King has wronged Fang! To be honest, if there is a place in the world that Fang Jun yearns for, it is not the prosperous and prosperous Chang'an, nor is it poetry and wine. Merry Yangzhou, but Qiuci!"

Bai Xiaojie, the king of Qiuci, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why do you deserve it?"

No matter how arrogant he was, he didn’t dare to compare Qiuci with the world-famous prosperous capitals such as Chang’an and Yangzhou.

Fang Jun winked his eyes and said, "I live in a gentle and gentle town. I hope I will never wake up when I get drunk... The beauty of Qiuci, that's what all men in the Central Plains yearn for... You know!"

Bai Xiaojie laughed and nodded again and again: "Although Qiuzi is a small and widowed people, he is extremely poor, only his singing and dancing skills are the best in the world. Middle school girls, regardless of age, are talented in singing and dancing, and Hou Ye is indeed elegant. People! To tell the truth, there is still a young daughter under the old man's knees, and she has never been married, and she is not only good at singing and dancing, but also beautiful, intelligent and beautiful, how about I let the old man be the master and marry the prince as a concubine?"

Before he finished speaking, King Yanqi, who was chatting with Qiao Shiwang on the side, heard the words, pretending to be displeased, and said: "This is inappropriate for the lord! Princess Pipa is a stunning beauty in the Western Regions, and a certain person has repeatedly asked for marriage for my unfilial son. You, but you have been rejected many times, why did you actually recommend yourself today?"

Bai Xiaojie smiled slightly, and said with a calm expression: "The sons and daughters of your family are all the same as you, ugly and vulgar, how can they be worthy of my daughter? Only the noble and talented Han family like Hou Ye can make Pipa Willingly sing for him and serve him for the rest of his life, you, let that heart die!"

Fang Jun looked slightly embarrassed, why did he listen to it, this old king seems to really have the intention of giving his daughter to me?
Princess Pipa?

Very familiar name, in which book have you seen it...

Qiao Shiwang also came over to join in the fun, and said with a smile: "The Han and Hu family are relatives, the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions are in the same spirit, if you can write this story, it will definitely be praised in the world! If the old king is serious, then Ben Du Hu will be the witness of the marriage. How are people?"

He is really alive...

Since ancient times, there has been no more alliance than marriage.

It's just that Fang Jun's words "the backbone of the country" are still in my ears, and they have already spread all over the world. Datang's foreign policy of rapprochement is still premature. No matter the public opinion of the people or the face of His Majesty the emperor, from now on, it will be more dangerous. In this situation, he also decided that there would be no more marriages between the princess and Man Hu.

But you can't marry outside, you can marry at home!

If Fang Jun really brought the princess of Qiuci into the house, the relationship between Datang and Qiuci would undoubtedly be more harmonious. If Qiuci wanted to flirt with Turks and violate the Tang Dynasty, he would have to weigh it. ...

This is a great deed, why not do it?

Fang Jun was choked by Qiao Shiwang's words, and kept rolling his eyes, slandering in his heart.

He naturally understands the deep meaning of Qiao Shiwang's happiness, but you old guy only cares about his own political achievements, and you don't know what the Pipa princess looks like, so it's too careless to push Laozi into the fire pit, right?

The most important thing is that when Qiao Shiwang said this, he couldn't even open his mouth when he refused!

The two countries, Qiuci and Yanqi, although they seem to be close to the Tang Dynasty now, are in fact definitely falling on both sides of the wind. This side warmly welcomes the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Duhu to take up the new position, and there may be the envoy of the Turkic Khan in the palace. There are guests inside...

If I refuse bluntly, I am not sure that these two guys who have been threatened by the Tang army into a frightened bird misunderstood the policy of the Tang Dynasty towards the entire Western Regions and fell into the arms of the Turks. wonderful!
Just be patient...

But on second thought, the beauty of Qiuci is famous all over the world, and she is also the princess of the king's family. She must have excellent genes, so she won't be ugly enough to make people take revenge on society, right?
Qiao Shiwang and Fang Jun were naturally the absolute protagonists of tonight's banquet. The two gathered together and chatted happily with the two kings of Qiuci and Yanqi. Ju Wendou immediately stated: "If it really becomes this marriage, the lower official is willing to use ten carts of gems as a congratulatory gift, wishing the sweet couple a perfect match!"

The prime minister of Gaochang Kingdom, after being beaten up by Putro, stayed away from people at home for several days to cultivate. This time Anxi Duhu took up his post, and just came out to meet people...
