Chapter 730 The call from the Northwest Road

Li Chengqian was very happy when he received a call from Li You. He had already had this idea, but he said it was not appropriate. Li Shimin made such a decision just what he hoped for.

Li Chengqian immediately went to see Empress Changsun and explained the whole story to her.

Empress Changsun first asked Li Chengqian about her opinion, and Li Chengqian expressed her attitude. He sincerely hoped that Li You could stay in Chang'an in the future.

Although Queen Changsun's health has recovered a little recently, she also hopes that she can live for a long time. However, she still feels that her physical condition is not optimistic.

She originally hoped that Li You would stay in Chang'an and continue to observe the running-in between him and Li Chengqian under her nose, hoping that they could cooperate more tacitly. In this way, even if she passed away, she would feel much more at ease.

Since both Li Shimin and Li Chengqian hoped that Li You would stay in Chang'an, Empress Changsun had nothing to worry about. So she asked Li Chengqian to call Li Shimin and Li You immediately, expressing her attitude of welcome Li You to stay in Chang'an, and showing that this was also her own opinion.

Things were settled.

As the saying goes, things in the world are impermanent, or there are only a few things that are not satisfactory in the world, and more importantly, this matter is not a bad thing.

The only thing Li You felt sorry for was that after his mobilization, many people from Chang'an and other parts of the mainland went to Northwest Road, but he himself stayed in Chang'an. He felt a little sorry for these people.

Therefore, Li You went to find Li Shimin and told him that he hoped that Yuchi Baoqi and Wu Xu would stay there for another one to two years to develop and strengthen the industry and commerce there so as to provide better benefits to local officials and other staff.

These things are very small things. Li Shimin agreed to Li You's request without any hesitation.

Since Li You's future mission is mainly to develop industry and commerce and conduct research on matters, there is nothing important about him to stay on the front line, so he resigned from Li Shimin and prepared to return to Chang'an directly.

After the matter was settled, Li You generated electricity to Ma Zhou, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui and others in Northwest Road, as well as Wu Xu and others, as well as Hamid, to explain the situation.

Unexpectedly, Li You's telegram caused a stir in Northwest Road.

The first thing to express regret is Hamid. His current situation is very difficult. Li You left Northwest Road and felt that the sky had collapsed.

The main officials of Northwest Road received a telegram from Li You and felt tremendous pressure.

Ma Zhou, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Rengui, Wu Xu and others immediately held a meeting to discuss the situation after Li You left Northwest Road.

At the beginning of the meeting, everyone began to complain, and generally expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction with such an arrangement.

The first thing I felt dissatisfied was Cheng Yaojin and Ma Zhou, the top military and political leaders of Northwest Road.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, after the Eastern Turkic Khan was defeated at full strength, Cheng Yaojin actually entered a semi-retired state. Although he usually went to court, he was called the general of the Left Wu Guard, but there was nothing to do.

Now he finally had the opportunity to be able to hold military power outside, and his mood was naturally completely different from that in Chang'an. Of course, he was willing to stay here.

Although Li You left Northwest Road and his military power was still under his control, the military situation here was very complicated. The real Tang army was only 20,000 troops. The rest were miscellaneous troops, basically just for Li You's sake alone.

When Li You left here, Cheng Yaojin was really not sure about controlling the army here.

Ma Zhou became even more depressed. He was a talented person who was the only one, but he had been here for too short, had a solid foundation, and the situation in the surrounding countries was too complicated. With Li You in charge of the overall situation, he worked without any scruples and was able to handle it.

However, he really felt powerless to control this big stall.

There were a large number of Li You's confidants in Xue Rengui and other places. They were able to use their talents, but the premise was that Li You was the backer. They were even more reluctant to Li You leave.

Wu Xu and others are now working here with ease and life is very free and easy. They are unwilling to return to Chang'an to live a cautious life.

Latif, Ganttpuro, Abu Hassan and others were able to coordinate and cooperate because of Li You's face. After Li You left, these people would inevitably do their own things.

After talking for a long time, everyone finally came to a conclusion that Northwest Road is still inseparable from Li You.

Everyone first sent a telegram to Li You and told them about the results of their discussion, hoping that Li You would fight with Li Shimin and could return to the Northwest Road to take the helm.

Li You had actually fought for it, but he didn't understand Li Shimin. It would be inconvenient to let him talk about it now.

Li You could only express his helplessness, hoping that they would unite and overcome problems by themselves. If they really couldn't solve the problem, they would send a telegram, and he could help them come up with ideas.

As a result, everyone called again, and everyone thought that there were many things that Li You had to solve in person, and it was not possible to solve the problem with an idea. For example, if you deal with a relationship with a cannibal, and if you change to someone else, they wouldn't buy it at all.

This incident has already alarmed Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Empress Changsun, and Li Ke, and Li You in a very awkward situation. He really can't discuss this matter with Li Shimin anymore.

The officials in Northwest Road still disagreed. In this way, the telegrams between the two sides kept communicating and could not convince each other.

Later, officials from Northwest Road decided to send a report directly to Li Shimin to tell him in detail about the situation in Northwest Road, hoping that he could agree to Li You returning to Northwest Road.

Li You can understand their difficulties, but sending such a telegram is a bit threatening. It will not only embarrass Li You, but also make Li Shimin feel dissatisfied with the officials in Northwest Road.

Therefore, Li You once again persuaded them not to send such telegrams.

However, the officials in Northwest Road still insisted on expressing their feelings to His Majesty the Emperor.

Li You was an open-minded person, and he could not let these officials be misunderstood by Li Shimin. So he told everyone not to shoot telegrams, and he went to Li Shimin to fight for it himself.

Li You begged to meet Li Shimin.

Li You said: "Father, my son is facing a difficult problem now, and I want to discuss it with my father."

Li Shimin asked, "It's the Northwest Road, right?"

Li You said truthfully: "Yes, Father."

Li You told Li Shimin truthfully about the content of the telegrams he had communicated with Northwest officials in the past few days.

Li Shimin looked through the telegrams and did think the problem there was more complicated, and he was more at ease with Li You there.

However, Li Shimin has been considering the transfer of Li You back to Chang'an for a long time. It is not easy for him to make this decision.

Now he has just made up his mind to let him overthrow it immediately, which is somewhat unreasonable, both in terms of emotion and reason.

Li Shimin said with emotion: "Li You, it is rare that I have an outstanding son like you. It is very important for both the father and the court. Unfortunately, it would be great if my other princes could share my worries like you."

Li Shimin was able to speak like this, which was a great encouragement for Li You, and he was very moved.

He said: "Father, my son has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible."

Li Shimin said: "Say whatever you think."

Li You said: "The Northwest Road was established for too short, and the foundation in all aspects was very poor. In addition, the surrounding environment there is indeed relatively complex, and Persia and Dashi are still in a state of war. Many things are indeed not easy for Ma Zhou and others to master.

It would be better to let Erchen continue to operate there for two years, and when the situation there is completely stable, Erchen will return to Chang'an.

Please rest assured that even if my sons are in Northwest Road, they will not relax their research on studying things."

Li Shimin did not make any statement, he needed to think about it seriously. So he asked Li You to step down and said that he would think about it before talking.

The next day, Li Shimin sent someone to come and told him that Li You went to see the car.
