Tuli Khan's face changed.

Dance?

I am a dignified Turki Khan, and he actually wants me to ......

However, his face quickly returned to calm.

In the grassland, the strong are respected, the weak are not even qualified to be pitied, you are weak, it means that your people will be killed, your women will all become slaves, and your blood will be cut off.

This Chen Zhengtai is the favored minister of the Tang Emperor, since Chen Zhengtai hinted, then this must be the meaning of the Tang Emperor, at this time, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads.

If not, the body will be destroyed.

In his heart, he certainly wanted to simply pull his face, immediately get on the horse, break through the barriers, and go directly back to his grassland! Even if it is a Han Chinese, they still know that it is not humiliating to kill soldiers, and it is a big deal to fight with these people.

Khan's sanity soon prevailed, and he seemed extremely sober, and at this point, could there be a better alternative than submission?

He glanced at Chen Zhengtai, but asked with a serious expression: "Chen Jungong...... What is this bamboo pole dance? Please also advise. ”

Chen Zhengtai was just a little cheap for a while, but he didn't expect this Tuli Khan to take it seriously!

Bamboo pole dance, that thing is uncivilized, how could I, Chen Zhengtai, do such a thing!

So he hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a joke, a joke." ”

The Great Khan of Tuli said very cautiously: "Chen Jungong, I sincerely ask for advice, if Chen Jungong refuses, where will this Khan go?" ”

He thought in his heart, this must be the Tang Emperor who was testing me, deliberately letting this Chen Jungong mention this matter first, to see his reaction, and now he shook his head and refused, this is to know if Ben Khan is willing to dance sincerely.

Ay......

He sighed in his heart, at this time, I must pretend to be extremely humble and obedient, only in this way can I dispel the suspicion of the Tang Emperor.

As he spoke, his eyes were moist, and he said earnestly again and again: "If Chen Jungong doesn't give advice, Ben Khan will only die." ”

When he bit his teeth, he wanted to draw his sword.

Looking at the formation of the Tuli Khan, Chen Zhengtai was startled, in fact, it is not terrible for the Khan in front of him to draw a knife, the terrible thing is that if this thing is pulled out, the ghost knows if he wants to kill himself or want to cut himself, if he wants to commit suicide, what if he cuts himself?

Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "I didn't expect the Khan to be so strong, okay, let's dance the bamboo pole dance, the Khan don't do this, I said, come here, it's like going back to your own home, in a few days, Your Majesty will set up a banquet to entertain the Khan, there is not much time, I will teach you some tips for the bamboo pole dance first." ”

Only then did the Great Khan of Tuli breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "This Khan must learn from Chen Jungong." ”

Chen Zhengtai was actually very helpless, he only smiled on his face, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if you become a teacher, you will be enough to shine in the annals of history in the future.

……

Early the next morning, Li Jing entered the palace to see the emperor!

Li Jing looked a little listless, the credit in hand flew, anyone, who can afford it?

Originally, Li Jing did not make much credit during the Xuanwumen Change, hoping that this Turkic war could make up for his military achievements, but where did he think that several years of preparation would suddenly come to naught.

Li Shimin was already thinking about the arrival of the Tuli Khan in Beijing, so when he saw Li Jing, he immediately asked Li Jing what he thought of the Tuli Khan along the way.

Li Jing was depressed, but he also answered Li Shimin's question very seriously, and said: "Your Majesty, this Tuli Khan is the best at forbearance, and this person is quite extraordinary. ”

"The best at forbearance?" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back, muttering in his mouth, and the murderous intent had already flashed in his eyes.

He is not worried about a group of reckless people, what Li Shimin is best at is to destroy these reckless men who only know howling, but if the Turkic leader has an IQ, this may not be a good thing.

Although the Turkic tribes are obedient, they still occupy the pastures after all, and the Turki Khan is their great leader, even if they show their obedience now, once they are given time to clean up the interior, this Turk will be a big trouble in the future.

Isn't this true in all dynasties?

The steppe peoples of the north surrendered when they had no choice but to rebel once they had recuperated.

If this person can be forbearant and cunning, he may not be a serious problem in the future.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jing and frowned slightly: "Then what does Qing mean?" ”

Li Jing said: "The minister thinks that this person should be punished, and then the minister will lead the troops and raid the desert ......."

This is Li Jing's inner thoughts, along the way, Li Jing and the Tuli Great Khan have had some conversations, this Khan is obedient on the surface, but he has a lot of thoughts, which makes Li Jing can't help but be vigilant! This person can bend and stretch, which is different from ordinary Turkic people, and even makes people a little puzzled.

Of course, Li Jing still has a selfish intention, this time the Turkic expedition is in vain, why not take advantage of this opportunity to conquer again?

Li Shimin's face became more solemn when he listened, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back......

In the end, he shook his head and said, "No, this person is attached to my dynasty, and if I punish him, it will inevitably be treacherous!" I am not a gentleman, but I am the honor of the Ninety-Five, but I must not be a villain. ”

Li Shimin sighed, as an emperor, he can't be treacherous, and the matter related to this is not so simple!

If you kill a Turkic khan today, how will you deal with Tubo and Goguryeo in the future?

Once a war breaks out, for these alien races, there will only be an end.

What's more, the strength of the Turkic tribes is still there, and once the Turks are killed, it will inevitably make the entire Turkic tribe hate the same enemy!

At present, the imperial court is in ruins, and it really can't withstand too much war.

"Your Majesty, is it just like this?" Li Jing said: "If it really doesn't work, why don't you detain this person in Chang'an?" ”

Li Shimin pondered again and again, but still shook his head: "There is no difference between detaining and killing, if this person is detained here, the Turks in the desert will raise a new khan at any time, and the time will ...... It's useless to deduct it. Come to think of it, this Turkic Khan is cunning, and it is precisely because of these battles that he dares to seek peace, and dares to come to Chang'an alone to meet me. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Actually...... The fundamental reason for this is that although the Turks were brought to their knees, they were only exterminated by their chieftains, causing them to be greatly weakened by civil strife! But according to me, this Turk may not be convinced. If this Tuli is only a reckless person, it is fine, but if it is a cunning person with a plan, he has to be on guard. However, I am not in a hurry to make a decision on this matter, so let's take a look first. ”

Li Shimin's analysis is reasonable, and Li Jing can only say: "No." ”

Li Shimin immediately glanced at him, and his tone became a little more friendly: "I know that you have spent a lot of effort to destroy the Turks, and this time it is in vain, I am afraid that I will not feel good in my heart, but it doesn't matter, what if I want to destroy a Turk?" I am now the Son of Heaven, and I can no longer lead troops to recruit at will, and I will borrow you in the future. ”

Li Jing nodded: "Yes." ”

Li Shimin immediately smiled: "What do you think of Chen Zhengtai?" ”

Li Jing never imagined that His Majesty would actually ask Chen Zhengtai about his opinion of the great general.

After thinking about it, Li Jing replied honestly: "The minister has not had much contact with this person, and if you talk about opinions, it is really impossible to talk about it. I just think ...... Person...... After all, he is still young, and although he likes to tinker with some novelties, he is like a piece of jade, and he still needs to polish it. ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this.

Li Jing's answer belongs to the kind of impartiality, it sounds like he praised Chen Zhengtai, and after listening carefully, he feels that he doesn't praise it!

If you think about it carefully, isn't this just nonsense? Isn't it all the same on whose head is this the case?

Li Shimin understood a little in his heart, and said: "It seems that you still have some complaints about him." ”

Li Jing couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "Ministers have always been harsh to juniors. ”

"Okay, you can go back." Li Shimin waved his hand: "In a few days, I will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain Na Tuli, and I will come to Shiqing's house earlier." ”

After saying everything that should be said, Li Jing bowed and retreated.

Li Shimin continued to pace back and forth in this empty hall, looking preoccupied!

As for the Turks, he found that he could not deal with them, how could he solve the Turkic problems once and for all?

If left unchecked, what will happen to the resurgence of the Turks in the future? If you choose to kill this person in Chang'an, or detain him, then Datang will ...... in the future And how should we conquer the Quartet?

I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't have a clue, and I couldn't help but sigh faintly!

I think that back then, he was in control of the army, and he didn't have to think about these problems, but now, when he became the Son of Heaven, he found that he ...... You can't care about him so much like before, and then you can beat the other party until you kneel and beg for mercy.

He then said, "Someone." ”

At this time, Zhang Qian hurriedly came: "Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin said: "Go to Tai'an Palace, I want to meet the emperor." ”

Tai'an Palace is a palace of Taiji Palace, in fact, it was Li Shimin's residence at the beginning, but after the change of Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuan took the initiative to ask to move to this palace to live, but it was in line with Li Shimin's wishes.

However, because of the original construction of this Tai'an Palace, Li Yuan only said that he valued Li Shimin, but although it is separated from the Taiji Palace by a wall, it is within the scope of the Taiji Palace, but the specifications are similar to the East Palace, which seems a little narrow! Moreover, there are so many concubines of Emperor Li Yuan, so it is naturally not very pleasant to live.

This is also the reason why Li Shimin has always wanted to build a new palace.

When Zhang Qian heard that Li Shimin was going to Tai'an Palace, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taishang has been feeling unwell recently. ”

"Really?" Li Shimin frowned: "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”

Zhang Qiandao: "The emperor personally explained that His Majesty is working on state affairs, and this is just a minor illness, and there is no need to work for Your Majesty." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "You can't ignore the minor illness, let the imperial doctors take a good look, and I will hold a banquet in the palace in a few days, so that the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to enter the table." ”

This is obviously a great regret for Li Shimin.

You must know that his father was a vassal to the Turks.

But he only ascended the throne for a few years, and he destroyed the Turks! Even the Turkic Khan obediently came to Chang'an, which is a matter of how long it is for Li Shimin,

This time, he held this banquet in a big way, and his original intention was to let the subjects of the world, as well as his father, see that he avenged his father, and he was ashamed of himself, how correct his father 'chose' himself at the beginning.

Deep down in his heart, Li Shimin is very eager to be recognized by others, whether it is a subject of the world or his father.

This is quite familiar to future generations, today you ignore me, tomorrow I let you unattainable psychology is troublesome.

He even wondered if the Emperor Taishang's illness at this time was an excuse because he didn't want to attend this banquet......

Is the emperor still complaining about the incident three or four years ago?

Li Shimin suddenly lost his mood.

Zhang Qiandao: "However, there is news from Tai'an Palace, saying that the Emperor Taishang is just a minor illness, and His Majesty's banquet is a major event celebrated by the whole world, and the Emperor will definitely be seated." ”

Li Shimin's face was a little better: "Hmm." ”

…………

Menxia Province.

On this day, the eldest grandson Wuji, the secretary of the ministry, went to Fang Xuanling's public house to discuss the banquet.

Fang Xuanling actually looked down on the eldest grandson Wuji in his heart, he was a secretary of the ministry, but he was nosy, as long as His Majesty valued something, he was very enthusiastic!

But you are a secretary of the ministry, what do you have to do with the big banquet in this palace?

And the eldest grandson Wuji is very happy about this, he feels that he has been friends with Li Shimin since he was a child, if he is a woman, then it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a childhood sweetheart with Li Erlang, and now Li Erlang is thinking about this banquet, of course he can't stay out of it.

Fang Xuanling simply asked Du Ruhui to be invited, and the three of them sat down separately.

Fang Xuanling deliberately ignored the eldest grandson Wuji first, and asked Du Ruhui instead: "On the side of the Ministry of Rites, has the Tuli Khan been placed?" ”

"It's settled."

"What do you think of this person after contact?"

The eldest grandson Wuji only listened carefully on the side, with a smile on his face, he didn't care if he could intervene as a minister, the important thing was that Li Erlang knew that he was very enthusiastic.

Du Ruhui said worriedly: "The Ministry of Rites is over there...... I always feel that this Turkic Khan is very cautious, this person is different from ordinary Turks, and General Li Jing's evaluation of him is that he is good at forbearance and difficult to guess. ”

"Really?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help frowning, and he said with a melancholy expression: "In this way, this banquet of His Majesty is a mistake." ”

Everybody's a smart person, of course, it's time to click.

Think about it, today the Turki Khan descended, happily held a big feast, and then made it known to the whole world, and His Majesty also regarded this as his greatest achievement since he ascended the throne!

But if the Turkic Khan is a suspicious man, he is the leader of the Turks after all, once the Turks have accumulated strength, what if the Turkic Khan openly turns against him and leads the Turkic iron cavalry to attack the Tang border?

By then...... Won't this banquet become the laughing stock of people all over the world?

This is not unfounded, this is a matter of ...... I don't know how many times it has happened in history!

Therefore, Fang Xuanling felt that it was not a good thing that the movement was so big this time.

"yes, that's what worries me as well."

Saying that, Du Ruhui glanced at Fang Xuanling deeply, but he knew very well what His Majesty was thinking at this time, and His Majesty was now eager to exhale and raise his eyebrows, so this big banquet was imperative.

"What has this Tuli Khan been doing lately?" Fang Xuanling continued to ask.

Asked this, Du Rumei's expression was a little strange, and she paused for a moment before saying: "I have been going to Erpigou for the past few days, and it seems that I am ...... with Chen Zhengtai Attached. ”

Attached?

Fang Xuanling: "......"

Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"

Obviously, they didn't expect that Chen Zhengtai would be sideways.

Fang Xuanling was a little annoyed: "What does this matter have to do with him, what does he have to do." Now there are many people in the DPRK who are dissatisfied with him, and they say bad things about him every day, and the old man has suppressed him, after all, he is a young man, and his heart is not stable...... The matter of this Turki Khan is very important, he is involved in so much, do you think that everyone dislikes him enough? ”

Fang Xuanling's face was gloomy, he was very annoyed, this matter was too important, and the court was already anxious about this matter!

You Chen Zhengtai is good, is this what you can join in?

Du Ruhui looked a little embarrassed.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had been silently stopping on the side, thought in surprise: Sure enough, this is Chen Zhengtai, the old man knows, but whenever Li Erlang cares about something, this Chen Zhengtai has to make a move, this brazen man, he is really everywhere. But...... This time he may be on the wrong side, and the DPRK is very dissatisfied with this.

But the eldest grandson Wuji thought again: It's just that this son is a person, although he is shameless, but this is not necessarily a bad thing, he will have a great future in the future, this person has not yet married a wife, he must think of a way again, and he must not miss it.

He smiled slightly and said: "Fang Gong, Du Gong, don't be angry, he is still young after all, he doesn't know the severity, as for someone who complains about him, I am all the seniors of this son, and I should find a way to protect him." ”

"Hey." Fang Xuanling wanted to say something, but he was stuck in his throat.

simply waved his hand: "I'm still worried about the problem of this Tuli Khan, if this person repeats, I'm afraid everyone's face will not look good." ”

…………

As Du Rumei said, after the Tuli Khan entered Beijing, he rushed to Chen Zhengtai's Erpigou every day, so that the people in the Ministry of Rites were bored.

But there's no way, the person who came is a guest, and the person is not a traitor, the person is just going to the second skin hook, what can you do?

As soon as he arrived at Erpigou, this Tuli Khan sneakily hid with Chen Zhengtai in a dark room in the school, and then ...... and refused to come out for an hour or two.

Tuli Khan was a clever man, and he soon learned a lot of information in Chang'an.

The county prince in front of him is definitely not simple.

This son is a close disciple of the Tang Emperor, and it is said that he also has a close relationship with the crown prince, and is a figure who can influence the emperor's decision-making.

Compared with befriending those prime ministers and speaking well for himself in front of the Tang Emperor, Tuli Khan felt that Chen Zhengtai was a better candidate!

This son is young, not as steady as those prime ministers, and it is easier to communicate and easy to communicate.

And most importantly...... This guy speaks very well, and when he dances by himself, he keeps clapping and always encouraging himself.
