A look of surprise appeared on Li Shimin's face, and he couldn't help asking: "I don't know who Fang Aiqing is talking about, as long as he is a loyal person, I will definitely reward him." ”

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what the minister said is the Turkic generals, Ashina Association and He Luohu betrayed Your Majesty and plotted to assassinate the king, but the Turkic generals did not participate, so they are naturally loyal to Your Majesty." ”

Fang Xuanling used the method of counter-evidence, among the Turkic generals, the Ashina Association and He Luohu were rebellious, and the other generals were naturally loyal, if according to Fang Xuanling's words, wouldn't the generals of the Tang Dynasty be equally loyal and should be rewarded.

However, although Fang Xuanling's statement was not rigorous, Li Shimin looked suddenly enlightened, and nodded slowly: "The Turkic generals are indeed loyal to me, so they naturally want to be rewarded." ”

The Turkic generals were immediately flattered, they originally thought that they were lucky that this time Ashina and the Heluo Rebellion were not implicated, and no one thought that they would be rewarded.

Ashina Simo suddenly said with a face full of shame: "The ministers are ashamed to accept it. ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "General Simo's words are wrong, if all the Turkic generals follow Ashina to form an association and rebel against He Luohu, I am afraid that I will not survive even if I have ten lives, and if you can abide by your heart and fulfill your duties, you can indeed be called loyal." ”

Ashina Simo was moved, and said loudly: "Please rest assured that the ministers will never betray Your Majesty like the two traitors of Ashina Association and He Luohu, and the ministers will definitely be loyal to Your Majesty, and if the ministers break their promises, they will let the ministers be trampled to death by ten thousand horses." ”

It is a very heavy curse for ten thousand horses to trample and die in the Turks, almost the same as the ten thousand arrows piercing the heart in the mouth of the Han people, which shows Ashina Simo's determination.

Li Shimin's face was suddenly full of emotion, and he personally stepped down from the dragon chair, helped Ashina Smoland and said: "General Smo's loyalty can be learned from the world, and I have decided to give him the surname of the country, Li, as a reward." ”

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, the entire Taiji Hall was in an uproar, you must know that it is extremely rare for Li Shimin to give a surname, among the Manchu Dynasty, there is only one person who has this treatment, that is Li Ji, Li Ji's original name is Xu Shiji, because he avoided Li Shimin's world character, changed his name to Xu Ji, Li Shimin heard about it, he was greatly moved, and personally gave Xu Shiji the surname Li? Changed his name to Li Ji.

"Minister, thank you, Khan, Heavenly Grace!" Li Simo couldn't help himself excitedly? Li Shimin gave him the surname Li, doesn't that mean that he will be the first person among the Turkic generals who will be truly recognized by Li Shimin.

Looking at Li Simo's moving eyes? Li Shimin is extremely useful in his heart? However, he did not snub the other Turkic generals and rewarded them one by one.

"Thank you Heavenly Khan!" The Turkic generals were grateful.

Li Shimin's loyalty to harvest a wave of Turkic generals? Only then did he sigh and said, "You are all loyal people, and I don't want to say a word in my heart?" Didn't I treat you like brothers? The Turkic tribes are also loved like the people of the Tang Dynasty, but I did not expect that there would be such a traitor as Ashina. ”

Li Simo said proudly: "Please rest assured, who among the Turks dares to oppose Your Majesty again, without waiting for Your Majesty to do it?" The minister beheaded him first. ”

Will the other Turks join in? A loyal look.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and sighed: "There are thousands of mistakes in the association rate of Ashina, but there is one sentence that is not wrong, that is, the Turkic tribes are thinking about returning to the grassland. ”

"This!"

A group of Turkic generals were suddenly at a loss? Full of embarrassment, they enjoy the glory and wealth of Chang'an City, and naturally they don't want to go back? However, it can't stand the ordinary herdsmen below.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely strictly restrain their subordinates in the future." Li Simo said.

Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "There is a saying in Datang, that is, women are not left? Stay and stay to become enemies, and the Turkic tribes are thinking about returning? I'm afraid that forcibly retaining it will only make the people resentful? Is it hard to wait? What's more, similar to Ashina, the association rate and the like have been repeatedly banned. ”

Even his own daughter will remain an enemy, not to mention the adopted daughter of the Turks, I am afraid that there will be constant conflicts in the future.

"Your Majesty! I'll wait ............! ”

Li Simo and other Turkic generals hurriedly expressed their loyalty, but Li Shimin waved his hand to interrupt them and said categorically: "I have decided to let the Turkic tribes return to the steppe!" ”

"Ahh

Suddenly the entire Taiji Hall was in an uproar, and the Turkic generals were full of shock, they naturally knew the old feud between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and also knew the reason why Li Shimin forcibly left the Turkic tribes south of the Yellow River, if they were in Li Shimin's position, they would do the same, but they didn't expect that Li Shimin would really put the Turkic tribes back to the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, not only the Turkic generals, but even the ministers of the Tang Dynasty were full of surprise, and no one thought that Li Shimin would make this decision.

Merton also frowned, knowing that he had proposed the Outer Ten Dao Plan to Li Shimin, but Li Shimin still decided to release all the Turkic tribes back to the steppe.

The eldest grandson Chong was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, but the emperor was still inclined to him.

Only a few important ministers of the three provinces and six ministries were silent, and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty who originally wanted to oppose couldn't help but be silent when they saw this.

"Your Majesty!" Li Simo's face was suddenly full of confusion, he wanted to show his loyalty to stay, but remembering the countless requests from the tribe to him, he lowered helplessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, although the minister's tribe has returned to the grassland, the minister will always stay in Datang to serve His Majesty." Li Simo said resolutely.

However, Li Shimin shook his head and said: "General Simo can't stay in the Tang Dynasty, now among the Turkic tribes, Jieli Khan has died, and He Luohu, who inherited the position of Tuli Khan, has participated in the rebellion, and the Turks have no Khan, but General Simo is a member of the Ashina tribe, and he is the best candidate for the position of Khan. ”

"Khan!" Li Simo was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly felt that a big pie fell from the sky, he never thought that the position of Khan would fall on his head, although he was a member of the Ashina family, but he was the great-grandson of Ili Khan, and he had already been reduced to a remote line, in the Ashina family, there were not a hundred or eighty who were more noble than him, and he couldn't turn in a circle.

Many people looked at Li Simo with envy and jealousy, Li Simo actively expressed his loyalty to Li Shimin, but he didn't expect to get such a big benefit, and he actually obtained the position of Khan, and many people regretted it in their hearts, if they showed loyalty to Li Shimin in advance, wouldn't the position of Khan fall to his head.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile, this was exactly the result he wanted, so that the Turkic generals could see the benefits of being loyal to him.

"Thank you for the grace of the Heavenly Khan."

The position of Khan is the dream of every Ashina family, and it is simply integrated into their blood, and Li Simo can't refuse this temptation.

"See Khan!"

The sudden descendant will salute Li Simo respectfully.
