"Your Majesty is back!"

When Li Shimin's carriage and horse appeared at the West City Gate, the entire Chang'an City suddenly became a sensation.

"Fortunately, Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, otherwise the old man personally asked for his life to go into battle, and he would definitely kill the Turks!" An old soldier said angrily.

The others chimed in! Although Li Shimin had a lot of stains when he got the throne, he was indeed a Ming monarch over the years, coupled with the recent rise of the Mo family, the rapid development of the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity of the people, Li Shimin's prestige among the people is increasing day by day.

With the return of Li Shimin, the people of Chang'an, who were originally excited, slowly subsided, and some actions against the Hu people also stopped, which is also the reason why Li Shimin was in a hurry to return to Chang'an City.

"Sons and daughters greet their father!"

In the palace, Li Chengqian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he got the news of Li Shimin's return, and hurriedly went to greet him.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The Manchu Han Dynasty Wenwu followed behind Li Chengqian and greeted him.

"The guilty ministers greet Your Majesty, fortunately Your Majesty is fine, otherwise the ministers will die."

And behind everyone kneeling densely a group of Turkic ministers, Li Shimin's return will determine the future relationship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and also determine their glory and wealth, and even life and death.

Li Shimin ignored Li Chengqian and the ministers of civil and military affairs, personally stepped forward to help the Turkic generals up, and said with a sincere face: "I naturally know the sincerity of the others, this is just that Ashina and He Luohu have been bewitched by the Desire Valley Set, and it has nothing to do with you, let alone the friendship between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty. ”

"The sinners thank the Khan for his kindness." Ashina Simo was grateful, and the other Turkic officials were also grateful, and if they could say this from Li Shimin's mouth, they would be removed from this rebellion, at least they would not be implicated.

Li Shimin first appeased the hearts of the Turkic generals, and then returned to the Taiji Hall with a group of civil and military ministers.

"Father Qi, Ashina Association and He Luohu have all been arrested and brought to justice! Please also send it down, Your Majesty. Li Chengqian said loudly.

"Well done!" Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Bring them all up, I will personally interrogate them." ”

Soon, Cheng Yanjin took the two of them to the Taiji Hall with a tight tie, and as for Qin Huaiyu, the three of them were not qualified to participate in it.

"Get on your knees!" Cheng Biting Jin shouted angrily.

But He Luohu was not afraid at all, and laughed and said: "You Li Shimin is the Son of Heaven, and I, He Luohu, am also a khan, why do I kneel down to you." ”

Ashina Simo trembled angrily, and reprimanded angrily: "He Luohu, the Heavenly Khan has taken pity on Tuli's early death, and he has taken care of you all these years, otherwise, with your young age, how can you inherit the position of Tuli, you will take revenge and want to assassinate Your Majesty." ”

According to the rules of the steppe, the brother died early, and according to Turkic customs, I am afraid that his wealth and status would have been divided among his brothers.

However, Li Shimin followed the customs of the Tang Dynasty and the primogeniture inheritance system, and passed on the position of Tuli to He Luohu, otherwise it would be the turn of He Luohu, the youngest son, to enjoy all this.

He Luohu laughed and said: "You still have the courage to mention your father Khan, you are all the courtiers of your father Khan, but they betrayed their father Khan, why did your father Khan die early, it is not this faint king, otherwise with the heroic posture of his father Khan, why would he die young." ”

Li Shimin frowned, and then he understood why He Luohu rebelled, on the one hand, because of the temptation of the position of Khan, and on the other hand, because of the revenge of his father.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh and said: "He Luohu, you think that I have harmed the Tuli brothers, then you are very wrong, it was your most trusted uncle Ashina Association who falsely accused me of rebellion against the Tuli brothers, which made the Tuli brothers fearful, and finally died with hatred, for this reason, I know the character of the Ashina association rate, and his official position has not been promoted for ten years, and he is still a Zhonglang general, which made him hold a grudge and plot to rebel!" ”

"Ahh Can my uncle take this seriously? He Luohu looked back at Ashina on the side in disbelief, he didn't expect that his most trusted uncle was actually the one who framed his father.

Ashina sneered: "General Zhonglang, who is rare about your official position in the Tang Dynasty, I am a member of the Ashina family, and what I want is the position of Khan." So far, I am not afraid to tell you, not only to tell Tuli to rebel, but even the reason why Tuli died was because of my hands. ”

Ashina knew that he would not escape death, and uncovered the truth of the year without any worries.

After Tuli's early death, He Luohu treated Ashina's uncle like his father, but he never thought that he would recognize a thief as his father.

Suddenly, a group of Turkic officials were in an uproar, and no one thought that Ashina would be so ruthless and kill his brother Tuli.

"Ashina's association rate, you are simply a wolf with ambition, and you actually murdered your brother for your own benefit." Ashina Simo said angrily.

"For my own benefit, no, I have not been for my own glory and wealth from beginning to end, if I want, just kneel in front of this dog emperor like you, everything I do is for the Turkic Khanate, when I strongly persuaded the Turks to take advantage of the Turkic internal migration, most of the tribes were dissatisfied, led the Turkic tribes to raise troops, took the opportunity to eliminate the Tang Dynasty, and achieved the great cause of the first father Shibi Khan in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect the Turks to be so weak, I was afraid of it.

Since Tuli is weak, there is no need for him to occupy the position of Khan, so I will first sue Tuli for rebellion, and then plot to poison him, but unfortunately Li Shimin is prejudiced against me and refuses to follow the custom of brother to brother on the grassland, but supports you, the young son, to succeed to the throne. Otherwise, it is my Turkic Khanate that now dominates the Central Plains. Ashina said arrogantly.

The Turkic generals couldn't help but be shocked, not knowing whether they were shocked by Ashina's ambition or ambition.

"You're crazy! If the Turks follow you, sooner or later they will be wiped out. Ashnasimo said in disbelief.

Ashina said arrogantly: "So what, why not follow Datang!" Now that the Tang Dynasty has expanded thousands of miles one after another, how many of them were fought down by my Turkic sons, and they were all bought by the blood of my Turkic sons. ”

Merton stepped forward and reprimanded angrily: "It's ridiculous, seventy percent of the soldiers of the two western expeditions are Tang Dynasty soldiers, three percent are Turkic and other ethnic coalition forces, and the most casualties are also Tang Dynasty soldiers, and this time the western expedition to Gaochang, the Turkic soldiers were not injured." ”

Merton slapped Ashina in the face with iron-clad facts, the first western expedition to Tuyuhun, although the Turkic soldiers had casualties, the Tang Dynasty did not treat them badly, and gave rich compensation to the soldiers who died in battle, and the death of those soldiers also won glory and wealth for the Turkic generals, and the Turkic officials present were all vested interests.

As for the second western expedition to Gaochang, due to the destruction of the city by the firearms supervisor, none of the Turkic soldiers were injured, not to mention the Turkic soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty.

Ashina laughed miserably: "Just like a dog led by a hunter hunting, my Turkic people are born to be wolves on the grassland, running on the grassland, not your Datang dog." Guarding the home for the owner and chasing prey. ”

The Turkic officials couldn't help but look embarrassed, and Ashina showed a crazy wolf nature, more like the Turks than all of them.
