Three days later, Lin Xuan returned to Chang'an City with a mighty army, and was warmly welcomed by Li Shimin, all civil and military officials, and all the people of Chang'an City.
Hibiscus Garden.
In Lin Xuan's study.
Lin Xuan stood in front of the world map hanging in the center of the study, staring closely at the place to the west of the Tang territory.
This place is exactly where the Western Regions are located.
Once in the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, the army was strong, all the countries surrendered, the Silk Road was opened up, and the Western Regions Protectorate was established, which was managed and ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty.
Later, after the Central Plains dynasty changed several times, the Protectorate of the Western Regions had already existed in name only, and all the countries in the Western Regions also broke away from the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty.
The once-popular Silk Road was also closed.
All the merchants in the Central Plains don't know how many hardships they have to go through to sell the goods from the Central Plains to the Western Regions and the farther Western Dashi Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
Now with the orderly progress of Lin Xuan's external expansion plan, Lin Xuan gradually shifted his attention to the vast area of ??the Western Regions.
The geographical location of the Western Regions is extremely important, and it is also an important transportation hub between the East and the West.
According to Lin Xuan's lofty dream of conquering the world in the future, this place in the Western Regions is the only way to enter the Dashi Empire and the Byzantine Empire!
Therefore, such an extremely important place must be under the control of Datang!
Only by controlling the countries of the Western Regions can Datang use this as a springboard to enter the Western countries and conquer the whole world!
The next day.
It is also the day when Lin Xuan enters the palace to worship once a month.
The palace.
Inside the Tai Chi Palace.
"See Your Majesty!"
Following the reverent worship of Li Shimin by all the civil and military officials, it means that the early dynasty has begun.
"Dear dears, what important things do you have to announce today?"
Li Shimin asked a group of civil and military ministers with a majestic expression.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Lin Xuan stood up to speak.
Li Shimin was surprised when he heard this, and looked at Lin Xuan with interest.
In Li Shimin's inherent impression, since Lin Xuan entered the court, he has always had a cool and indifferent appearance, and rarely speaks out on his own initiative.
"Oh? What does the Regent have to say?" Li Shimin looked at Lin Xuan with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of curiosity.
"His Majesty, I propose to send troops to conquer the Western Regions!"
As soon as Lin Xuan said this, all the ministers in the Taiji Palace all looked at him in unison, with slightly surprised expressions.
They really don't understand why Lin Xuan suddenly proposes to conquer the Western Regions? !
Hearing Lin Xuan's proposal, Li Shimin's eyes lit up slightly, and he was slightly moved.
Western Regions!
That is really a long-forgotten place!
Since the decline of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions have been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years!
If he can conquer this region, he will definitely be able to add a lot of color to his imperial career!
It is very likely that his achievements can stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
"My dear friends, what do you think of the Prince Regent's proposal?"
Li Shimin symbolically asked the opinions of the ministers, but in fact he had already made a decision in his heart.
"His Majesty, I agree to send troops."
"The land of the Western Regions has belonged to the territory of our Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty."
"It's just that because of the frequent wars in our Central Plains Dynasty, we gradually lost control of the Western Regions."
"But now that our Tang Dynasty is strong and strong, and the country is rich and the people are strong, it's time to bring them back under the rule of our Central Plains Dynasty!"
As Li Shimin's number one confidant and Lin Xuan's staunch supporter, Changsun Wuji was the first to stand up and agree with Lin Xuan's idea.
"Report to Your Majesty, and the humble minister also seconded!"
"The land of the Western Regions not only belongs to the territory of our Central Plains Dynasty, but also has the once splendid Silk Road!"
"If we can re-incorporate the land of the Western Regions into our Datang territory, the Silk Road will inevitably be re-opened, and it will also increase the trade between countries in the Western Regions and our Datang, which will greatly promote the prosperity and development of our Datang!"
Fang XuanLing also stood up to support Lin Xuandao.
As the top advisor of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling's vision was naturally not bad, and he quickly saw the huge benefits that the land of the Western Regions could bring to the Tang Dynasty!
"Yeah yeah!"
"Master Changsun and Master Fang are both right. The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also seconded the proposal!"
Many ministers whispered to each other after hearing the words, nodded in agreement, and all agreed with Lin Xuan's proposal.
However, there are also some discordant voices. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
