Hearing this question, Liu Ruyan turned her head and thought for a moment, because this matter dated back a long time ago, so long that she needed to think carefully about when Li Ze first mentioned this matter.

Seeing Liu Ruyan's expression, Senobud's heart was cold, because he knew very well what this meant.

"It's very early!" Sure enough, Liu Ruyan confirmed his thoughts as soon as she spoke.

"It should be when Your Majesty just became the governor of Wuwei." Liu Ruyan continued.

Although he was mentally prepared, Sinobud was still shocked: "At that time, His Majesty was just a governor."

Liu Ruyan smiled, nodded, and said, "I seem to remember that it was a heavy snowy day when I talked about this. Your Majesty, Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Zhang Hui, and I were with me. At that time, Your Majesty talked about the entire Tang Dynasty situation."

"What did your Majesty say?"

"The world's trend will be united after a long period of division. Although the Tang Dynasty had a nominal emperor at that time, it was actually a variety of martial arts dramas. The country was no longer a country. Anyone with great ambition was planning to unify the world and recreate the universe. At that time, His Majesty pointed out a few people, including Zhang Zhongwu, Tian Chengsi, Zhu Wen and others."

"Your Majesty is very accurate in viewing people." Xenobud nodded.

Li Ze's history of rise is actually basically growing stronger step by step in the battle against these people.

"Your Majesty at that time had already had the world's heart. In fact, in my opinion, he did not take these so-called heroes in the world at that time, and he had the intention of swallowing the world like a tiger and treating the heroes as if no one was." A look of admiration and admiration flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

"Your Majesty's power has already shown its might at that time." Snowbud sighed. It's a pity that the newly-rise Wuwei Jiedushi did not attract the attention of Tubo at all. At that time, their attention was still attracted by Zhang Zhongwu and Gao Pian.

"Your Majesty did not say much about these people, but discussed the situation after the unification of the Tang Dynasty with Mr. Gongsun, Zhang Gong and others, and pointed out the several great enemies that the Tang Dynasty would face after the unification of the Tang Dynasty." Liu Ruyan said: "The first one is the nomadic people in the north. Your Majesty believes that if you do not start the arrangement early, one day, the nomadic people in the north will become a major concern in the Central Plains. The Great Wall was built during the Qin Dynasty to resist foreign tribes, but a Great Wall would eventually be a dead thing. How can you maintain long-term stability?"

"Now the desert south, north and northeastern places have already returned to the Tang Dynasty, and this time the main force that attacked our Tubo was all composed of these nomadic cavalry." Snowbud said: "Your Majesty's suppression of the nomadic peoples in the north has been a great success."

"That's right. In that snowy day, the second enemy that Your Majesty mentioned was Tubo!" Liu Ruyan looked at Senobude and said, "Senobud, look at the current Tang Dynasty. After His Majesty defeated the south and unified the world, will there be that country and nation around the Tang Dynasty, which country and nation pose a threat to our Tang Dynasty?"

Sinobud shook miserably, and it was indeed gone. Apart from a powerful country like Tubo, the rest were just small countries. Facing the Tang Dynasty, they even lacked the talent to protect themselves. How could they have the strength to have any thoughts about such a giant as the Tang Dynasty?

"So at that time, did Your Majesty already make up his mind to annex our Tubo country?"

"Yes. Your Majesty said that if you take down the desert, then take down Tubo, and include its territory into our Tang Dynasty, and the land of China will become a real chosen land. If foreign enemies want to invade again, it will be extremely difficult for them to do anything on the land, unless a powerful enemy can come from the sea at some time in the future." Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Now Tubo has been taken down, and at sea, our Tang Dynasty fleet traverses all over the sea, at least so far, has not encountered a real opponent. These regulations were decided in that snowy day during the chat between them. I still remember that Mr. Zhang Hui thought it was too incredible and that His Majesty could not complete this task at all, but Mr. Gongsun Changming thought it could give it a try."

"Has it been arranged for more than ten years?"

"The national strength of Tubo is not worse than that of the Tang Dynasty at this time. A battle to destroy a country, not to mention ten years, twenty years, and thirty years are nothing unexpected." Liu Ruyan said: "You know everything later. With the help of you invading the Tang Dynasty, we lure the enemy into depth, defeated Delhi Chinan and you in Hedong, and defeated Tocharo in Yinzhou, Ganzhou."

"At that time, both Delhi Chinan and I thought that you supported us just to restrain Tochar and prevent us from being able to harass your country again. I didn't expect that this was just part of your plan to destroy our Tubo." Snowbud sighed: "Although we had just suffered a crushing defeat at that time, we still believed that we were a great country that could be on par with the Tang Dynasty, and the disaster was buried at that time. When we fought with Tochar, I believe His Majesty had a happy smile."

"What's ridiculous about this?" Liu Ruyan said lightly: "This is just a matter of planning, including the later expulsion of the Fan family from Hedong to Tubo, which is just a part of the plan. However, the ability of Fan family in Tubo was really beyond His Majesty's expectations. Later, he sighed that the thousand-year-old family is indeed extraordinary. Even if they can suppress for a while, they cannot suppress for a lifetime. Their resurgence is just a matter of time."

Sinobud nodded. For the re-rise of the Fan family and the family's family to have a good reputation in the Tang Dynasty, from Fan Jun to the children of the Fan family, they continued to die in this battle, which indeed created a supreme reputation for them.

"The third enemy is the family family, clan system and other issues in the country." Liu Ruyan spread her hands: "Compared with the first two issues, Your Majesty attaches more importance to the third enemy."

"As far as I know, Your Majesty has almost destroyed the aristocratic families." Snowbud said. "As for the clan system, it is also disintegrating."

Liu Ruyan shook her head: "The centipede insect dies without being rigid. The clan system has dominated the land of China for thousands of years, so it is not so easy to be defeated. It's just that it's weak now, but deep in my heart, this idea is still deeply rooted. What we are doing now is just to try to turn the big clans into small clans based on families. Of course, Your Majesty believes that it's enough to do this step, and this will make our empire more cohesive and united. The degree here is extremely difficult to grasp. It's probably impossible to do it for a lifetime. Maybe it's going to be done one after another. As for the aristocratic families, hehe, the old ones are gone, the new ones are slowly getting up and becoming more hidden. Your Majesty is helpless about such things."

Thinobud agrees deeply with this. The old aristocratic families were defeated, and those who followed Li Ze would inevitably become new aristocratic families. There is nothing we can do about it.

"Your Majesty is a talented person, I believe he has his own opinions on this." Sinobud said seriously. Since Li Ze thought of this problem, he must have some solutions.

"Nothing else, every time I find a bird that comes out to clean up." Liu Ruyan said coldly: "If you can't destroy him, you can only remind them to always be careful and have a bottom line in everything. If you pass the line, you will destroy yourself."

"Supervision Committee!" Xenobed immediately woke up.

"Yes, so the Supervisory Committee will never let the aristocratic families get involved. The people in charge of this department will even have a very prejudiced view of the aristocratic families. Such people will keep staring at these people with wide eyes. After crossing the line, they will be able to clean up without hesitation and without hesitation."

"Isn't it okay even if this person is a founding hero?"

"No matter who it is," Liu Ruyan said coldly. "The family is a great enemy of a unified country, so Your Majesty set a red line for them. Crossing the line and killing without mercy. There is no Chinese empire that can exceed three hundred years of history. It is always endless cycles within a vicious circle, with a hundred years of hard work, a hundred years of success, and a hundred years of decadence of decadence declining. What Your Majesty has to do is to break this vicious circle. Although he doesn't know if it can be done, how can he know if he doesn't try it? Always think as far as possible, even if he sacrifices many interests for it, it is worth it in the long run."

"Including the royal interests?"

"Natural." Liu Ruyan said: "You also see that the Tang Dynasty is undergoing unprecedented changes. Sinobud, you should be glad that you are one of the chess players in this great change. Your Majesty chose you and hopes that you can repay Your Majesty's high hopes. The Tubo people must integrate into the great civilization of Sinochem. If you can't do it, we will change to another method. But obviously, another choice will not be so pleasant."

Thinobud knew what Liu Ruyan meant. Although there were a lot of ice cubes in the carriage, which were cooler than outside, it was still a little hot. When he heard this, he shuddered in a sensation.

"Shenobud must do his best," he said seriously.
