Chapter 837

~6 min read 1,023 words

"Uncle, you say what's so good about foreign customs? If I go to see the lives of the barbarians, will it help my governance?"

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji sneered inwardly.

Just one sentence, and this child was already fantasizing about his future governance.

Why did he go to such lengths to help Li Tai ascend to power? Was it just to change one emperor for another?

The child was too naive!

It must be to establish an emperor who would listen to him!

Foreign customs were useful for a real governing emperor, but for him, this future puppet emperor, they were useless.

At most, it would be Wu Li Ke going overseas for a spring outing to see some different scenery.

"Prince of Wei, you don't know, on the southern islands, there are many foreign women who are so poor they have no clothes to wear.

Think about that scene; if you kindly bestow some daily food and clothing upon them, they will worship you Wu Li Ke a god."

"Are they that poor? That's truly pitiful!"

Li Tai said this with his mouth, but he almost drooled at the corner of his lips.

His fat face was full of lewd and indescribable expressions.

Who knew what he was pondering?

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji took the opportunity to say.

"Prince of Wei, on this trip to the Harsha Empire, you don't need to worry about other things, but there is one thing you must investigate clearly." Hearing Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji speak so solemnly, Li Tai couldn't help but pay attention.

Currently, Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was his greatest reliance, and his strategies several times had been quite good.

In Li Tai's view, Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was the advisor he relied on most.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the Empress Empress Zhangsun Prefecture at this time.

"Uncle, what is so important?"

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard and said slowly.

"The reason the people of the Harsha Empire suddenly sent troops to attack Yelang is all because their Imperial Preceptor is a man from our Great Tang, Bian Ji.

This Bian Ji, speaking of which, had a brief affair with your sister, Princess Princess Gaoyang.

After you arrive at the Harsha Empire, regardless of whether it has been wiped out by Great Qin, you must find a way to locate this man, Bian Ji."

"Bian Ji?"

Li Tai had not been exposed to the core secrets of the imperial court before, so this name was very unfamiliar to him.

"What's the benefit of finding Bian Ji? Can he influence our Great Tang court, or can he bring us benefits?"

Either power or money!

Li Tai's thinking was understandable; in his eyes, people had no value beyond these two things.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji taught him earnestly.

"Tai'er, Bian Ji's value is not limited to these two things. He is also a man of strategy; having him check Great Qin in the southwest is the reason for Great Tang's current stability! You must learn to have a big-picture perspective. Of course, there will definitely be benefits too.

Don't you remember how Pei Ji used only two thousand green radishes to trade for two thousand elephants?"

Li Tai's eyes lit up suddenly.

....... Seeking flowers... 0

This matter had already become a joke in Jin Ling. Everyone was discussing how the Harsha people were ignorant, not even recognizing radishes, thinking they were thousand-year-old ginseng!

Since they were so ignorant, there must be other cheap things to take advantage of.

"Uncle, I understand! Then I'll bring more local goods this time!"

Li Tai was happy, already immersed in fantasies of how to take advantage of the Harsha people.

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji shook his head helplessly.

Fine, as long as he makes contact with Bian Ji, it will be a great achievement.

After the battle of Yelang, Bian Ji disappeared without a trace, and he didn't send a letter back to Great Tang to report his safety.

Who knows how he is now?

If such a conspirator were lost, it would not be a good thing for Great Tang.

.... 0

Finally, Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji gave one more instruction.

"Tai'er, on this trip by ship, out of the Yangtze River mouth, you might encounter Great Qin ships.

Don't panic if you see warships; hoist a green flag and pass through steadily. If you encounter fishing boats, don't bully them, be careful of retaliation from Great Qin warships.

In short, just be polite whenever you encounter Great Qin ships."

Li Tai nodded and said.

"I'll remember. Currently, Great Tang and Great Qin are in a state of peace. I won't provoke a war over a small matter." Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was most satisfied with this point about Li Tai.

Although he sometimes lacked a big-picture view, his brain was sufficient, unlike Li Li Li Chengqian.

After thinking about it again, there didn't seem to be anything else to instruct.

Only then did he stop.

"Go, Uncle thinks highly of you. You will be the future wise monarch of Great Tang!"

These words were already a bit presumptuous, but since it was just the two of them, it didn't matter.

Hearing this, Li Tai felt as if he had drunk chicken blood, full of fighting spirit.

"Uncle, rest assured, just wait for my good news."

Empress Empress Zhangsun Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji sent Li Tai away and sat in the room, calculating and pondering repeatedly.

If Bian Ji had been captured by Great Qin, it shouldn't be so quiet.

Bian Ji was a wanted criminal in Great Qin.

It was simply mindless.

And he was the commander-in-chief of the Harsha army; it should have been announced to boost the morale of the entire army.

If he wasn't captured by Great Qin and hadn't returned to the Harsha Empire, where could he have gone? A living person couldn't just disappear so inexplicably, right? ===== CHAPTER 839 =====
