"Xiao Xuan, this Turki Khan, is the son of the Shibi Khan of that year, known as the Little Khan of the Eastern Turks. But his khan is also a name, his strength is not strong at all, and the power has always been in the hands of his father and uncle. In the second year of Wude, Shibi Khan died of illness, and it was not Tuli who ascended the throne, but Tuli's uncle Tong Lifushe, who ascended the throne, that is, Luo Khan.

In the fourth year of Wude, Chuluo Khan died, and another uncle of Tuli succeeded to the throne, which is now Jieli Khan. Jieli appointed Tuli as the little khan, in charge of the Khitan, the Yan and other departments, and his Yating was connected to Youzhou in the south.

Because the Turki Khan had no rules for taxing his subordinates, his subordinates had resentments. Because of this, many tribes have been attached to the Tang Dynasty, such as Xue Yantuo, Xi, Xia and other departments have long been attached to my Tang Dynasty. The Khan sent the Khan to fight against these tribes, but the Khan was defeated and his men scattered, and it is said that the Khan was so enraged that he imprisoned and whipped him before he was released. Tuli suffered this kind of shame, so he naturally held a grudge against Jieli!

Since then, the uncle and nephew of the Eastern Turks have entered a state of open and secret fighting, this time the Turks suddenly sent an envoy into the court, begging for peace with my Tang Dynasty, must be unable to parry Jieli's offensive, and want my Tang Dynasty to send troops to help him break the siege!

But in this case, if my Datang rashly sends troops, it means a full-scale declaration of war with Jieli, the Eastern Turks are at the peak of their national strength at the moment, with millions of people who control the strings, if Datang wants to declare a full-scale war with it, and attack and win, how easy is it? You must be well prepared to start this national war! Otherwise, you will definitely lose!

However, there is not much time left for me Datang, and today Tuli sent an envoy to the court, proving that his forces have completely unable to resist the attack of Jieli Khan, and it is a matter of time before he is destroyed and annexed, and I Datang can't sit back and watch Tuli be annexed like this, otherwise Jieli's strength will be even stronger! So, it's hard! It's hard! It's up to His Majesty to decide today~! ”

In front of the Taiji Palace, Qin Qiong estimated that there was still a period of time before the last dynasty, so he told Li Zexuan about the causes and consequences of this sudden envoy to the court.

"Oh! I see! ”

After listening to this, Li Zexuan had a general understanding of the current situation in the Eastern Turks in the north.

To tell the truth, before this, he didn't even know who Tuli Khan was and what kind of force he belonged to, he only knew Jieli Khan, no way, who made this guy famous!

Now listening to Qin Qiong's words back and forth, he has just sorted out the current situation in his heart.

There was civil strife in the Eastern Turks, but the Tang Dynasty is not yet fully prepared to start a full-scale war with it! And Tuli Khan, in front of Jieli Khan, is just a small grasshopper, and he can't resist it for long!

"Shang Chao~! Civil and military officials, enter the Hajj to see ~! ”

At this moment, an old eunuch stood on the steps with a sharp voice and shouted.

The civil and military officials under the steps immediately quieted down, straightened their clothes, hugged the Chao Wat, climbed the steps, and walked towards the Taiji Hall.

Entering the Taiji Palace, after the monarch and the ministers greeted him, a Turkic man came out of the crowd, bowed to Li Er and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Jieli Khan disregarded the feelings of the first Khan, regardless of the friendship between his uncle and nephew, and openly sent troops to attack my father Khan, and asked His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send troops to aid my father Khan, at that time, my father Khan will definitely return to the court and surrender to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Ashina Ihand, Ju Chang'an as a hostage"

Hearing this, the civil and military officials immediately looked at each other, and Li Er asked in a deep voice: "You are the second son of the Tuli Khan?" ”

The Turk clasped his fists and said: "Returning to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is the son of his father Khan, this time he came to the Tang Dynasty to ask for help and surrender, in order to show the sincerity of my father Khan, Ashina He Luohu is willing to stay in Chang'an as a hostage, in order to show the sincerity of my father Khan's surrender to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Send your son into the court as a hostage!

The civil and military officials, all gasped, the secret path Tuli is really bloody this time! At the same time, this also shows that today's Tuli Khan has been cornered by Jieli, otherwise he would not be so desperate and surrender to the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly!

After a moment of silence in the hall, Li Er said loudly: "Since I ascended the throne, I have governed the country with benevolence and righteousness, and treated my friends well. And in the past, I had some friendship with Tuli, but now how can I take advantage of the fire to rob and take his son as a hostage? ”

In other words, this Ashina He Luohu is also a straight brain, how could he say in front of the emperor, "I'm here to be a hostage for you"? Generally, this kind of thing is tacit, and no one will talk about it directly, Lao Li, as the lord of China, doesn't he want to lose face?

However, Li Er said that he had some friendship with the Turki Khan, which is also true, in the seventh year of Wude, the Turkic Great Khan Jieli Khan and the Turki Khan invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang Emperor Li Yuan sent Li Er out of the Fenzhou Road to defend against the Turks on the 21st day of the seventh month of the leap month. On August 12, the two sides clashed at Wulongban, which is known as the Battle of Wulongban. Li Shimin counter-plotted, united with the Turki Khan to divide the Jieli Khan, and became incense brothers with the Turkic Khan, so that the Turks retreated.

Whether Li Er and Tuli intersected because of the situation, hypocrisy and grievances, or because of interests and sincere friendship, it is an indisputable fact that the two of them became incense brothers in the end, although this kind of thing sounds incredible!

Hearing Li Er's words, Ashina He Luohu was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately wanted to open his mouth to refute, after all, when he left the Turks, his father ordered him to do so! He must complete the task given to him by his father!

Who knows, Li Er seemed to know what he was going to say next, so he took the first step and said, "Ashina Luohu, you don't need to say much, I won't take you hostage!" However, if you like the prosperity of Chang'an City and want to live in Chang'an for a while, I naturally have no reason to refuse! ”

Ashina He Luohu's elm head finally reacted at this moment, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Thank you to His Majesty the Tang Emperor for taking him in, Ashina He Luohu is willing to live in Chang'an for a while, I only hope that His Majesty the Tang Emperor can send troops to rescue my father Khan, and then my father Khan will definitely be grateful for His Majesty's affection, lead his troops, surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and join the court to surrender to His Majesty!" ”

Li Er's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "The Turks used to have civil strife, and they relied on the strength of the former Sui to settle down, but Jieli Khan didn't know how to cherish the situation left by his ancestors, but relied on his own strength, indulged his own desires, was debaucherous and tyrannical, and killed each other between uncles and nephews.

However, sending troops to the Turks is a very important matter, and I need to discuss it with the hundreds of officials in the court before I can make a decision! Ashina He Luohu, you must have come all the way from the Turks, and you must have been physically and mentally exhausted, so it is better to go back to the post house to rest first, and then send someone to inform you after I have discussed the results with the Manchu civil and military forces! ”

Hearing this, Ashina He Luohu thought about it seriously, and finally clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" Ashina Rahu retires! ”

With that, he clenched his fists in front of his chest, saluted Li Er, and then withdrew from the hall with two Turkic envoys!

After Ashina He Luohu left, Li Er's eyes sank, looked at the civil and military officials under the hall, and asked, "Do you think Aiqing should send troops to aid Tuli?" ”

It is said that for Tuli's request for help, Li Er himself is "happy and afraid". He was pleased that the internal strife of the Eastern Turks had brought rare stability to the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty; What I am afraid of is that if the Turks are destroyed and the Jieli family is dominant, it will be a little more difficult for the Tang Dynasty to suppress the Turks in the future!

The hundred officials were silent for a long time, and in the end, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but come out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time!" Two years ago, my Tang Dynasty just signed a covenant with Jieli not to attack each other, and now, in the case that Jieli Khan did not come to invade, if we are treacherous and brazenly send troops, not only will the people and money be wasted, and the division will be nameless, but this is not the army of kings. ”

Hearing this, Li Er's face suddenly collapsed, indeed, the Weishui Alliance back then was the biggest obstacle for him to send troops to the Turks now, Datang, as the Central Plains Dynasty and the state of etiquette, always needs to talk about a name for doing things, and you can't beat whoever you want like the Turkic names, even if you kill your brother and brother, no one will condemn it, Datang pays attention to being famous!

Breaking the covenant and such a treacherous thing, most civil officials will not let Li Er do it!

"What Zhao Guogong said is extremely true, it is indeed not appropriate to send troops at the moment~!"

"The old minister seconded the proposal~!"

"The ministers seconded the proposal~!"

The eldest grandson Wuji said, and some ministers immediately appeared in the court.

"Hmph~! Fart~! Bullshit! What bullshit covenant? I Lao Cheng asked you, if Jieli can spare his hands now, and there is enough food and grass, do you think he will take care of the covenant of the year? Will you send troops to invade my Datang? ”

Although Cheng Yanjin also knew that it was not the best time for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, but when he saw that so many ministers in the hall were talking about the Weishui Alliance back then, he immediately couldn't hold it back, stood up, and scolded.

The Weishui Alliance is not only the shame of Li Er's life, but also the shame of his life!

"Humph! Above the court, why did Lu Guogong spit out vulgar words? Moreover, our Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and the war pays attention to the teacher and is famous, how can it be child's play? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's old face pulled and reprimanded Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin suddenly sneered and said, "The bullshit division is famous!" According to what you say, then we can only wait for Jieli's little boy to lead the troops to Chang'an City before we can fight back? ”

"Cheng Zhijie, above the court, you kid don't want to be unreasonable!"

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were gloomy and he said in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although what Lu Guogong said is vulgar, it is not unreasonable!"

At this moment, in the civil official camp, someone actually came out and spoke for Cheng Biting Jin, it was Du Ruhui!
