Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Jiang Quhu was a little speechless, but the person had already arrived, and he couldn't run away. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still had to listen to the lessons that should be attended.

"A seat." Li Ke waved his hand.

Yang Anning moved a chair from the side.

Jiang Quhu hesitated for a moment, but sat down anyway.

"Don't worry about Jiang going to King Hu. Since I told you clearly, I won't do anything to you. To be honest, do you feel a little aggrieved?" Li Ke said with a smile.

"A little bit." Jiang Quhu paused, then nodded.

"It's human nature, I can understand. How about this, let's put everything aside and just say one thing, after Datang takes Xizhou, according to my plan, within two years at most, Xizhou will be stable, and East Turkic It has long been in my Datang's pocket, and if Datang wants to develop, there is only one direction left, the Western Regions. Am I right?"

"This...that's right." Jiang Quhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"You see, Jiang Qu Hu Wang, you know the truth of what I said. Don't say anything about the kingdom of the heavens. I'm sorry to attack you small countries. In the face of absolute national interests, these are trivial matters. Besides, since ancient times, Cheng Wang Baikou, history is written by the victors, as long as I win the Tang Dynasty, I will find any reason, and say that you Jiang Quhu Wang disrespected me Li Ke, disrespected me Datang, I will send troops to destroy you , is there a problem?" Li Ke spread his hands.

"No..." Jiang went to King Hu for a moment, then spoke bitterly.

"Right, let's not talk about the relationship between us, let's just say, after King Jiang Quhu conquered a tribe by yourself, who was the first person you killed?" Li Ke looked at him with a smile.

"Khan and the leader." Jiang Quhu's mouth was a little dry.

"Don't you know this very well? Then let's go back to the topic just now. You gave me gold and I gave you a chance to merge into Datang. Is this reasonable? Do you still feel aggrieved?" Li Ke snapped his fingers and asked.

Jiang Quhu paused for a moment, as if... there were none, mainly... what Li Ke said was the truth, hard facts, anyone would do the same, if he was a big country, no, Even if it is a country as big as Tuyuhun, maybe he can still feel aggrieved.

But unfortunately, Ruoqiang is not. He is just a small country with a total population of less than [-]. The total population is not as large as that of a cavalry in Datang, so the opponent's killing him is really as easy as trampling an ant to death.

"I understand." Jiang Quhu said with a bitter face.

"You don't have to be so sad. In fact, if you think about it in a different direction, it might be a good thing." Li Ke smiled.

"Good thing?" Jiang Qu was stunned.

"Good thing." Li Ke nodded, "Let me ask you, do you have any ambitions now? The ambition to expand the territory and achieve a hegemony?"

"Uh...Your Highness was joking." Jiang Quhu was a little embarrassed, what is this thing?It never occurred to him.

"Then let me put it another way. In fact, you are enjoying life now, eating, drinking and having fun. Am I right?" Li Ke said with a smile.

"That's right." Jiang went to think about it, but this is the truth. Isn't that what he does every day? What can a small country with 1 people do?When he is free and bored, he has to settle the case of petty things like stealing chickens and dogs, just to relieve loneliness.

"Then look, isn't this a good thing? If you merge into my Tang Dynasty, I will guarantee you a lot of money according to what I said. As for eating, drinking and having fun, do you think there is any place in this world better than Chang'an?" ? If you merged into Datang, according to what I said, earn a lot of money, my father will give you an idle title, you will listen to music in Changan, the brothel, hang out with women, and walk on the street every day Dog, take a look at Cuju, listen to the opera when you are free, and then eat the delicacies of Tang Dynasty, how happy are these days?"

"As for you, a small country in the Western Regions, it's not that I look down on Ruo Qiang, but have you ever eaten stir-fried vegetables? Have you ever eaten hot pot? Have you ever eaten steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, Braised pig, furnace duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower, small belly, dried meat, sausage, assorted su pan, smoked chicken with white belly, steamed eight-treasure pig, etc. a total of 204 dishes?"

"A maid like me, who is full of brothels in Chang'an City, isn't she prettier than the women from the Yaoqiang Kingdom?"

"Don't worry about those crap things every day, eat and sleep, wake up to play, find a few beauties when you are happy, and find a few beauties when you are unhappy, which one do you think is better than your so-called Khan seat? ?” Li Ke crossed his fingers in front of him and asked with a smile.

Jiang Quhu Ting's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he asked in a daze, "What did His Highness say? Are there all in Chang'an City?"

"Hahaha..." Li Ke laughed outright.

Jiang Quhu felt a little embarrassed when Li Ke laughed, until Li Ke stopped laughing and asked: "Forgive me for being impolite, I am not laughing at you as a frog in a well, but what I said can only be said if I have seen it. It’s impossible for me to know something I haven’t seen, right? And Chang’an City is much more fun than this, only a lot more, so what do you think you can compare to?”

"This..." Jiang Quhu's heart was moved. He was really moved. In fact, Li Ke was right in his position. Every day he was in charge of trivial matters, and most of the time he had to eat and drink for the people below. Worrying, those delicacies that Li Ke just mentioned... He has never eaten any of them, and he has never heard of them.

And those beauties can be seen everywhere in Chang'an... Poor Jiang Quhu, I have never seen such an exquisite woman like Yang Anning, their slender women... They are all rough skinned, dark skinned, such a white woman in Chang'an... Everywhere.

"Your Highness, can you really make me a lot of money?" Jiang Quhu couldn't help asking, he knew very well that the most important thing in all of this is money, and only those who have money are eligible to be free.

"If you believe me, you can. If you don't believe me, then I have nothing to do. To be honest, I don't like your gold. You can take it away." Li Ke said with a smile.

"No, no, this is a gift for Your Highness, how can I take it away. Of course I believe His Highness, but I don't know how His Highness should do it? Do you want me to submit a letter of credence?" Jiang Quhu asked quickly.

"You don't need to submit a letter of credence. For the time being, you are still the king of Yaoqiang. You can do as I say, and I can make you money." Li Ke said with a faint smile.

"Your Highness, I listen to you!" Jiang Qu thought for a while, then gritted his teeth, and said firmly.

"Well, first of all, I will let my caravans go to Raoqiang to stop when they go to you in the future. Then, I will gradually send people to build a small city in Raoqiang first, and then build a small city in the local area. An army of 1000 people is stationed to maintain daily order, and caravans can stay here for repairs, and management fees can be charged here, and I can give you [-]% of these fees." Li Ke said.

"In addition, I allow you to keep the property that your Qiang royal family has saved over the years." Li Ke added, "This is your only chance."
