"This is the reason for your rebellion, I have never treated the Turkic tribes lightly, but doubled the generous, the Turks and the Tang Dynasty will benefit from the combination, and the division will be harmful, I will treat the Turkic people better than the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks will no longer have to endure the cold when they go south, and they will no longer endure hunger and disease, what's wrong?" Li Shimin reprimanded angrily.

He originally wanted to publicly judge Ashina's association rate to set an example, but he didn't expect Ashina's association rate to openly encourage the Turks and the Tang Dynasty to oppose each other.

"So what? It's not that I let the Turks fight for the Tang Dynasty first. Ashina sneered.

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, he knew that once the assassination happened, a thorn would be planted in the heart of both the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and he would never be able to return to the close cooperation he had before, and the initiator of all this was Ashina's association rate.

"Ashina formed an association to maliciously sabotage the peace between the two ethnic groups, conspired to assassinate the king, committed a heinous crime, and beheaded his family." Li Shimin said coldly.

The Turkic generals were immediately relieved when they heard Li Shimin's verdict, Li Shimin only killed and killed Ashina's association rate but did not connect, it can be said that the net is open.

According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, assassinating the king is a big crime for the nine clans, but Ashina is a member of the Ashina family, and he is the leader of the Turks.

"Hahaha, what if you kill me, the Turks will never be able to send people under the fence, and my Turks will one day return to the steppe."

Suddenly, several guards immediately took Ashina Association Rate down, and Ashina Association Rate was still rampant, loudly dividing the relationship between the Turkic generals and the Tang Dynasty.

However, although Ashina was the mastermind, his status was not important, and the Turkic generals focused on another person, that is, the hapless Ho Luohu. He was a pitiful and pathetic man all along, obsessed with the position of Khan, but without strength, and the uncle he relied on turned out to be the real murderer of his father, and he was only using him from beginning to end.

"He Luohu, you conspired to assassinate the king, you should have been cut with a thousand knives, but you were used by others, and your father Tuli was even more meritorious to the Tang Dynasty, so I will spare you a death today, take your position as Khan, and exile you to Lingnan." Li Shimin looked at a group of Turkic generals, but in the end, he still didn't kill him, and let He Luohu go.

"Father Khan, sons are not filial!" When He Luohu heard Li Shimin's pardon, instead of showing joy, he was even more heartbroken, he was deceived by the thief who killed his father, and he used his father's merits to avoid death, which was really ashamed of his father.

The reason why Li Shimin bypassed He Luohu was naturally not because He Luohu was used, or because of the merits of Tuli, which were not worth mentioning compared to the crime of assassinating the king, and it was a group of Turkic generals who really let He Luohu escape, and Li Shimin wanted to spare his life to win the hearts of all Turkic generals.

"Thank you for the divine grace of the Khan!" A group of Turkic generals wept gratefully.

"You're also scared for a day, so go back and rest!" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and waved his hand, and returned to the palace with a smile.

The important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty glanced at each other and couldn't help sighing, His Majesty treats the Turks like brothers, but the Turks have deeply stabbed Li Shimin, and the blow to Li Shimin can be imagined.

A group of Turkic generals left with guilt, but many Hanchen had a flash in their eyes and stayed tacitly.

Although Ashina deserves death, there is one thing that is not wrong, the contradictions between the Turks and the Han people are already very deep, and it is time to solve them, especially after the assassination incident, not only are there cracks in the hearts of the Turks, but the people of the Tang Dynasty are also excited.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes that the contradiction between the Turks and the Han people has reached the point where it must be resolved." Wei Zheng led the way first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what does this mean? This is enough to get to the bottom of it. Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the arrival of the ministers.

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is thinking too simply, the minister once admonished and opposed the internal migration of the Turks, today's events happened to confirm Wei Chen's worries, Ashina association rate is by no means such a person, there are not many people who want to return to the steppe among the Turkic tribes, in the long run, there will be trouble, and even the crisis of Wuhu chaos will reappear, it is time for the Turkic tribes to move back to the steppe north of the Great Wall." ”

Li Shimin frowned, if it was before, Li Shimin would definitely think that Wei Zheng was alarmist, and Ashina Association Rate actually wanted to incite the Turkic rebellion when the Turks moved inward, but fortunately the Turks did not listen, otherwise with the prestige of the Turks, they would definitely gather the Turkic tribes and cause fatal damage to the Tang Dynasty within the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Ji shook his head and said: "The minister is opposed, letting the Turks return to the grassland can only be letting the tiger return to the mountains, how powerful the Turks were back then, have you forgotten?" ”

From the perspective of the military, Li Ji resolutely opposed the release of the Turkic tribes back to the grassland, otherwise once the Turks became big again, I am afraid that there would be no day of stability on the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's face changed, the Weishui Alliance back then was a shame in his life, and finally the whole country defeated the Turks, which was a shame before it, and now he wants to let the Turkic tribes go back, Li Shimin can't do it, and the wolf nature shown by Ashina's association rate just now made Li Shimin even more frightened.

"The Turks originally belonged to the steppe, but now they have moved to the south of the Yellow River, and they naturally miss their hometown, and sooner or later they will change." The civil officials strongly advocated letting the Turks return to the steppe.

"No, the Turkic tribes can fight well, and they are the most elite combat force in our Tang Dynasty, and they must not be let go." The Turkic tribes are the most elite cavalry, and they are an important part of the Tang military, and the military is naturally unwilling to give up this elite combat force.

All of a sudden, the civil and military sides were in constant dispute.

"Okay, if I treat the Turkic tribes so favorably, can't I still make them come back to their hearts?" Li Shimin had experienced the battle of the founding of the country, so he naturally knew the importance of the Turkic cavalry, and naturally he was unwilling to give up this force easily.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the life of the Turkic tribes is not as good as before, and I am afraid that I have already complained in my heart." This is why Ashina found an opportunity to gather so many traitors. ”

"Why did the eldest grandson Aiqing say this?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked back at the last Mo family of the ministers, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid this matter has to be said from the rise of the Mo family, before this, the Turkic tribes were extremely comfortable south of the Yellow River, and naturally no one was willing to rebel, even if it was the prestige and reputation of the Turks, I am afraid that they could not do anything, which is probably also the reason why the Turks kept to themselves." ”

Everyone nodded slowly, he didn't believe that Tuli was really loyal to Datang, but he didn't have a chance.

The eldest grandson Wuji continued: "However, after the rise of the Mo family, they first exchanged high spirits for cattle and horses on the grassland, and the Turkic tribes naturally bore the brunt. However, this is not the most deadly, what really makes the Turkic tribes angry is the manufacture of Mojia Trojan horses and cattle, tricycles and bicycles in Datang are very popular, so that the price of cattle and horses has dropped sharply, and the Turkic tribes have suffered heavy losses and complained. ”

Li Shimin suddenly realized that it was the Turkic tribes who were greedy for a cup of good drink, and a large number of cattle and horses were exchanged for spirits by Mojia Village, but the price of cattle and horses dropped sharply, and the originally wealthy life became difficult for a short time, which made the Turkic tribes complain.

"What do you have to say about Merton?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help glaring at Merton, he found that the catfish of Mo Jiazi would set off a catfish effect wherever he went, and even the Turkic tribes far away in the north could not escape the poisonous hands of Mo Jiazi.

"What the eldest grandson said is indeed the truth." Hearing this, Merton smiled bitterly and admitted, and suddenly his voice changed, "However, Weichen believes that the root cause of the Turkic tribes is still in itself. ”
