Why Li Shimin is happy, I'm afraid only Li Chengqian understands best.

Because of the relationship of the Turki Khan.

Here we have to talk about who the Turki Khan is.

Turki Khan: Ashina, named Shibobi, son of Shibi Khan, and a small Khan of the Eastern Turks.

He was a pawn of Li Shimin's secret arrangement, he was one of the few pro-Tang factions among the Turks, and in return, Li Shimin also gave a lot of support to the Turkic Khan.

Speaking of the Turki Khan, we also have to talk about another Khan, the real ruler of the Turks, the Jieli Khan who once signed the Weishui Covenant with Li Shimin.

The Turki Khan was only a minor khan under the Jieli Khan.

But the strength is not low.

When the name of the Turki Khan came out.

Liu Hongji said: "Your Majesty, this envoy is not visible at this time of extraordinary times. ”

Why can't it be seen, because of the special period, and Li Shimin's status is noble, how can he see a small envoy of the enemy?

Moreover, they didn't know that the Turki Khan was a pro-Tang faction, and if they knew, they probably wouldn't have said so.

Some people who were on the same team as Liu Hongji also said: "Your Majesty, we have a Weishui Covenant with Jieli Khan, and we must not meet the envoy of Tuli Khan in private!" In case it hurts the harmony! ”

"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, what are they? Dare to come and ask to see Your Majesty!? ”

These people are really pedantic.

So that Li Chengqian had to scold.

"You guys are really pedantic! As an envoy from a small country, if we don't see it, won't it hurt the wind of our big country? Moreover, Jieli Khan has violated the covenant since he invaded my Tang territory, what covenant do we keep? It's pedantic! ”

Li Chengqian's words made everyone embarrassed, and Li Chengqian would not say anything about this kind of thing.

They also didn't know the relationship between Li Shimin, the Turki Khan.

At the same time, in order not to let the Turks know, Li Shimin only talked to Li Chengqian. Even if Li Shimin doesn't say it, Li Chengqian knows the powerful relationship, and among the crowd, only two people are awake.

Therefore, when Li Chengqian said this, Li Shimin was still very pleased.

"I think it can be seen, you all step down, let me come to see the messenger in the Ming Dynasty!"

If it is judged by rank, how can a small khan on the other side be worthy of such a high level as Li Shimin.

However, in order to show importance and not lose face, it is undoubtedly the best choice to let Li Chengqian come forward. In addition, Li Chengqian is still a scholar and can also engage in politics, and his profession is second only to Li Shimin.

No matter how you say it, the other party also came on behalf of the Khan, and the level is naturally not low, and at the same time, Li Shimin only let Li Chengqian know about the matter with Tuli.

At the same time, what was said to the envoy of the Turki Khan must not be known.

When the ministers heard this, they shouted: "Your Majesty is wise! Stand down! ”

At the same time, Li Chengqian also said: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Then, Li Shimin walked to Li Chengqian and said softly: "Let's inquire about the situation!" ”

Li Shimin just couldn't rest assured, so he said this.

Li Chengqian naturally knew, so he proposed:

"Your Majesty, it's not bad to listen to our conversation behind the curtain."

Li Shimin wanted to hear what the envoy said, but he couldn't be there, but when Li Chengqian said this, he was overjoyed and said, "I'm listening behind the curtain." Good! ”

When he was done, he walked behind the curtain.

At the same time, Li Chengqian summoned: "Come on, let the messenger in!" ”

After that, a Turkic man walked in from outside, this man had a mustache and looked a little weak, but from the look in his eyes, this man had a very vicious gaze.

A kind of hunter's viciousness, but for Li Chengqian, this person is really nothing.

The man looked around, quickly adjusting his gaze.

As soon as he saw Li Chengqian here, he said:

"On behalf of the Turkic Khan, the Turkic Paleken has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"

The messenger saluted, showing great respect.

But there is no lowliness, as a messenger, this person can be said to be very qualified.

That kind of temperament is neither humble nor arrogant.

At the same time, he can recognize Li Chengqian as the crown prince in the first time, and I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can be like him.

Li Chengqian admired this person very much, if he wasn't weak, he must have the talent of a general.

"Paleken, don't be polite, why did you come to my Datang this time?"

At this time, there were only two people in the main hall, Li Chengqian and Xue Rengui, and Li Shimin hid behind the curtain and listened to the words in front of him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! I don't know if Your Majesty is here? ”

"Originally, he was not only the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but also Shang Shuling, so if you have something to do, you can directly talk to this king!"

When Palegen heard this, there was a hint of shock on his face, and then he returned to his original state.

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in fact, this time the Tuli Khan sent Palken to come because he wanted to confirm something. ”

"Oh? So what's going on? ”

"At the beginning of the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, when the wool was exchanged for the grain iron pot, everyone from the Turki Khan to the ordinary herdsmen cheered heartily. Everyone shouted that in the future, they only need to shear some wool to feed themselves, and there will be no more wars. Harmony within the Turks! ”

When Palegen said these words, Li Chengqian understood that what Palegen was going to say next was probably about trade.

Li Shimin behind the curtain also kept nodding at the same time, because in this way, the Turks have become less terrifying, and maybe they can become docile sheep.

"And then?"

"Then since the beginning of spring, your country's wool trade with our Turks seems to have decreased a lot, so the Turkic Turks sent Paleken to find out the situation and bring some information by the way."

"That's right, at the right time for spring ploughing, my Datang has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in order to achieve a bumper harvest in the autumn, so there is a reduction in trade, so this situation occurs, not only in the Turki Khan, but also in the Jieli Khan's trade volume has decreased more fiercely. Of course, if spring ploughing resumes, it will naturally increase the purchase, and Tuli Khan, we will take care of it first. ”

Li Chengqian's implication is that not only you, but also Jieli Khan's side is more ruthless, and you are considered good.

Li Chengqian's reply made Li Shimin behind the curtain nod.

The first is to let Palegen have a good explanation, and the second is to stabilize Tuli's heart.

"I wonder when it will be restored? You know, we have hoarded a lot of wool and can't sell it. ”

Palegen asked again.

"After the spring planting, it will be resumed in about the next month."

"I see, if that's the case, then the Turki Khan will be very happy."

"I heard you say, what information did you share with me just now?"

Li Chengqian suddenly thought that Palegen had said such a sentence.

Palegen nodded and spoke.
