Chapter 1523: We Don’t Meet Much Anymore

After resolving the Cui family's affairs, Li Xiang also had a good drink with Cui Sanye, because Li Xiang knew very well that after this drink, it might be his farewell to Cui Sanye.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Cui Sanye's physical condition was no longer good, and he would not be able to hold on until Li Xiang came back next time. The doctors had already given a conclusion that he would only have half a year at most, and there was no terminal illness, it was simply that the lamp was running out of oil.

Li Xiang understood what was going on? The whole family was going downhill, and it was impossible to rely on only one old man to pull it up. In the end, the family could not be saved, and the old man's energy would be used up, just like Cui Sanye now. No matter how powerful the medicine he took, there was no way to save his life in the end.

"Your Highness, take care and leave for the Western Regions."

When Li Xiang was about to get on the carriage, Cui Sanye's eyes were full of tears. Speaking of it, the two have been working together for many years. Li Xiang did not have such strong strength at the beginning. If it were not for Cui Sanye's help, Li Xiang would not have been able to fight his way out among the Five Surnames and Seven Families. Now that Li Xiang has taken control of the world, he will definitely give Cui Sanye's descendants a way out. This is a mutual fulfillment of both parties, and no one can be missing.

"Take care, Sanye too. When I come back from the Western Regions, I will find Sanye to drink with me."

Li Xiang's voice was a little choked. Although the two were partners, Cui Sanye had a vague feeling of a teacher. After all, Cui Sanye had taught Li Xiang a lot of things. If it really came down to it, it would not be an exaggeration for Li Xiang to call him a teacher, but people in the royal family could not recognize teachers casually, not to mention that Li Xiang was the third person, the crown prince.

Watching Li Xiang's carriage go away, Master Cui San also made a decision in his heart. If he didn't do this, the whole family would probably become weaker. So Master Cui San had to make a decision. In this way, he could preserve some of the essence and prevent the whole family from collapsing.

"Pass my words on. Let those warriors take action. No matter who is involved, as long as they are on the list, whoever dares to stop them will be killed. The last row will be handed over to the army in the south of the city. Let them take them to the southeast peninsula. No one can ask about their life or death within five years. If they are alive and come back, they are still the children of my Cui family. The shares they should be given should be given. If they can't come back, it's their own fault that their lives are not strong enough."

When Master Cui San finished these words, he immediately coughed. His body was already bad to a certain extent. Coupled with the emotional excitement, Master Cui San really couldn't suppress the feeling of wanting to cough.

After the conversation tonight, the entire Cui family felt that if we didn't get rid of those troublemakers, we would have to sink with them. It was a great opportunity for us to survive this change and not sink with the other families of the Five Surnames and Seven Families.

But if those who clamored to revitalize the Cui family died, wouldn't it be unfair?

You can revitalize your family, but it must be within the framework of the emperor. If you want to negotiate with the royal family at every turn like before, this is absolutely impossible. No one will allow such a thing.

The Cui family was indeed glorious in history, but it has been knocked down by Li Xiang by 40%. Even the remaining 60% is under the supervision of the Imperial City Office. If you don't listen to the emperor's orders, the Cui family may be destroyed at any time. Even if some people escape to the old forest or overseas, what can you do? According to the current attack speed of the Tang army, sooner or later you will be caught back, and then there will be no retreat.

Therefore, before reaching a desperate situation, Master Cui San must also dig out the cancer for the entire Cui family, no matter if it is his grandson or someone who has made great contributions in the past, as long as you go further and further on the road to revitalizing the Cui family, then you are not a family with us.

The man in black wrote down Master Cui San's words word for word, and then sent the news to the palace before dawn. The reason why Li Shimin gave Li Xiang this face was because he knew the relationship between Li Xiang and Master Cui San. If he solved the entire Cui family without saying hello, Li Xiang would definitely feel bad. It is better to sell Li Xiang a face and let the Cui family do it themselves.

When seeing that some people were going to be sent to the Indochina Peninsula, Li Shimin felt that Li Xiang was not a qualified successor. Originally, when Li Xiang just rose, he was definitely ruthless, but now he is a little soft, which is by no means a good phenomenon. I hope Li Xiang can find his blood in the Western Regions.

Seeing that it was time to go to war, Li Xiang also assembled a part of the army in Chang'an City. In addition to his own request, Li Shimin also arranged a lot for Li Xiang. These people were the sons of the nobles in Chang'an City, and the descendants of some prefects in various places. They could not stay at home all the time, and they had to go to the battlefield.

Li Xiang understood Li Shimin's thoughts. This time, let's see the attitude of each household. The swords on the battlefield have no eyes. Those who were named to participate were the heirs of each family. If you don't go, it means you don't want to be tied to the Tang Dynasty. In the future, you don't have to count on some things, so you don't have to live in Chang'an City. You still want to eat and drink well. The Tang Dynasty court can't afford you.

But if he is really capable, Li Xiang will never let him be buried in the sand, and he will be able to find better generals for my Tang army in the future.

Li Shimin took the royal family members and personally went out of the city ten miles to send Li Xiang to Shili Pavilion.

Except for the first expedition to Tuyuhun, Li Xiang has never enjoyed such treatment. Li Shimin's way is also very simple, that is, to let Li Xiang fight for ten years of peace in the Western Regions. At least within ten years, the Arab Empire cannot invade the borders of my Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can the Tang Dynasty free up its hands to do other things. Otherwise, there will always be a tiger in the West, which is not a good thing for everyone.

Although Li Shimin did not give Li Xiang any guarantees, he also knew that this battle in the Western Regions was by no means a local war. After all, the total number of participants has exceeded 200,000 troops. Can this be a trivial matter? (End of this chapter)
