In the main hall of the general's mansion, a mat was set up, and a roasted yellow and fragrant lamb was placed between the two of them, and the delicate maid used a silver knife to call the delicate pieces of meat down one by one, and placed them on the plate in front of them.

The dish is a dipping sauce mixed with salt, pepper, cumin and other spices, the knife pierces a piece of meat and puts it in to roll, sends it to the mouth to chew, the mutton fat flows all over the mouth, the spices are spicy and rich in the mouth, and then drink a sip of mellow grape wine, Ashina Simo sighed with satisfaction.

"This time I was ordered by the emperor to return to Dingxiang, but I was in a hurry and did not prepare in time, otherwise I would definitely bring back a copper hot pot, so that Mr. could also taste such deliciousness. The tender mutton is cut into slices as thin as cicada wings, put it in the boiling soup and soak it a few times before putting it in the mouth, the taste is ...... Gee. ”

While entertaining the old man, Ashina Simo recalled the food of Chang'an, which from snacks to big lambs, it seems that only hot pot can show its delicate and delicious.

Like such a simple barbecue, he has not eaten it for many years, but he does not miss it much, relatively speaking, it is still the exquisite food of the Tang Dynasty, and his appetite.

The old man was opposite him, slowly chewing the delicious mutton, his face was very enjoyable, and when he heard the words, he swallowed the mutton, drank a sip of grape wine, and said with a smile: "The life of the Great Khan in the Han family is obviously very pleasant, but I don't know if there is a sense of joy?" ”

Ashina Sima's eyebrows jumped, his mouth chewing food, and he was silent.

"Happy not to think of Shu" is about Liu Chan, the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, and it is okay to comment on others, but it is obviously not meaningful to use it to describe him Ashina Simo.

Does it mean that the demise of Shu Han has been decided, so you might as well enjoy it in the enemy's house, no matter how many moths you have, it will not help?

Or is he blindly greedy for pleasure and has long forgotten the glory and hatred of the Ashina family?

Ashina Simo didn't dare to speak without permission, and sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being a national teacher who treated each other with courtesy for two generations of khans......

The old man didn't seem to care about Ashina Simo's answer, he ate and drank calmly, and the goosebumps looked like he had passed the age of the cane, but his body and bones were very tough, and his teeth and mouth were surprisingly good, and he ate meat and drank a lot of wine, which was not inferior to the food of a man in his prime.

One was preoccupied, the other was free to eat and drink, and there was some strange silence in the hall for a while......

When the banquet was gone, the maid made a pot of strong tea and brought it up, and the servants placed burning charcoal basins in the four corners of the hall.

The two sat cross-legged, and Ashina Simo personally served tea to the old man, and asked, "After so many years, where is the gentleman, why is there no news at all?" ”

The old man didn't answer, just picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea gently, his cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly, and exclaimed: "The aroma is clear but not demonic, the color is bright green, just this color, in the bitter cold Saibei, it can make people feel like a spring breeze." The Tang people are talented, and I don't know what kind of person created this method of making tea, which will surely bless future generations. ”

It seems that he has long been not half abrupt by the old man's full-mouthed and crepe-clad way of speaking, Ashina Simo said with a smile: "The person who created such a method of making tea is the second son of Fang Xuanling, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty. Fang Xiang has been honest all his life, not good at economics, as soon as this law came out, it immediately swept the north and south, and was marketed overseas, and the Fang family also became a wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty. ”

The old man slowly bowed his head, took a sip of tea, slowly tasted the sweetness, and only exhaled for a long time, and said: "Over the years, the old man has traveled all over the desert wasteland, and he has also stayed at the border of Datang for a short time, so he has a little understanding of the situation in Datang. The fragrant tea leaves, the crystal clear glass, and the snow-white and thin bamboo paper...... The changes are really jaw-dropping and overwhelming. ”

Refilling the old man's teacup with water, Ashina Simo said sincerely: "Mr. is old, and it is no longer like the years when he galloped and galloped in the clouds, why don't you go to Datang to look for juniors?" At that time, Mr. had a life-saving grace to his father, and he also had enlightenment benefits for the younger generations, who had always regarded Mr. as their own elder and raised Mr. for many years. ”

"Hehehe......"

The old man let out a burst of hearty laughter, then stared at Ashina Simo's eyes, and said word by word: "The Turks in the world all say that the old decay harmed the Jieli Khan back then, and even harmed the entire khanate...... Why, you, the descendant of the Ashina family, don't have a little resentment in your heart, resentful of the old decay for destroying your khanate, and slaughtering the old decay to honor the heroic souls of your ancestors? ”

The cold wind howled outside the window, and the candle flame in the lobby faltered.

Ashina Simo held the teacup in his hand, was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled, and said: "Back then, Chu Luo Khan said that I was red-haired and blue-eyed, and my face was different, not like the species of the Ashina family, but more like the Hu people, so even if it was the closest bloodline, it only gave me a false title of 'Jiabi Special Service', and I was not allowed to control the army, let alone establish a tooth tent!" How many people laugh at me because of this? It's a shame in my life! However, now, you have seen that all the people he trusted and valued back then have fled to death, and the huge khanate that runs through the north and south and the east and west has fallen apart, and the noble Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan, their people, have to rely on me, a sinister race that is not like the Ashina family, to obtain a piece of land that survives! Sometimes, I often think that if one day I see those two khans in the Immortal Heaven, I will definitely go up and ask you, when you humiliated me in the past, have you ever thought that your noble descendants will have to rely on my groveling surrender to the Tang people to survive? Hehe, haha, I guess the faces of those two khans must be very exciting, but I don't know if they will be ashamed......"

Such words, as a general in the Tang Dynasty, naturally can't say it, even in Dingxiang, surrounded by Turkic people, such contempt for the Khan's words, saying it can only cause people's hearts to be disheartened.

But in front of this old man, he spoke freely and vented fiercely!

The block that has been accumulated in his heart for many years, once vented out, the kind of pleasure is really indescribably happy, Ashinas rubbed the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to the old man with a smile: "You, Zhao Deyan, are the wise men given by God to the Turks!" In my opinion, Lu Dongzan, who is known as the first wise man in Tubo but was played with by the Tang Dynasty, is not worthy of lifting your shoes! If it weren't for the rise of the Tang Dynasty too fast, as long as you were given a little time, the current Turks, I'm afraid that they have already stepped on the Great Wall and herded horses in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

"Huh...... However, some people always say that the old decay was as harsh as a tiger in the past, and it was the root cause of the troubles of the khanate. In the battle of Yinshan, the khanate was defeated and lost, and the khan was also taken away by the Tang people...... If it weren't for the fear of being chopped into mashed meat, would the old man not even dare to show his face for so many years? ”

The old man smiled to himself and said slowly.

Ashina Simo waved his hand and said arrogantly: "What do you care about those pickles?" In the past, the juniors were weak and could not protect Mr. Quanquan, from now on, if anyone dares to say that you are a traitor of the Turks, the juniors will be the first to break his neck! Others don't know, I have been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and I know very well that the set of strict laws that you implemented in the Turks back then, sir, was actually the foundation of the prosperity of the Khanate! The reason why the Khanate perished was not in Mr., not in the Khan, but in the will of God! Providence is hard to disobey, we ordinary people, what can we do about it? ”

In his opinion, how can a country be strong? This seems to be a difficult topic, but it is very simple, as long as the strict laws are formulated and the whole country is not disobeyed, there is already the foundation of a strong country, and the rest is perseverance, as long as the wind and rain are smooth for more than ten years, the prototype of a strong country will be consolidated!

Daqin, Dahan, Datang, all so!

Without the constraints of the law, with the loose character of the Turks, even if they were arrogant for a while, they would never be able to become a powerful country like the Han people.

Therefore, Zhao Deyan's measures back then were completely correct!

However, after he finished speaking impassionedly, he heard Zhao Deyan sigh faintly, and said softly: "Great Khan, you are really naïve, orange is born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei, and the leaves are similar, but the taste is different." So what? The water and soil are also different. In the Tang Dynasty, it may be the foundation of a strong country, but it is placed in the Turkic ...... How did the Great Khan know that it was not the source of the country's woe? How can I be sure that those who want to kill me are wrong? ”

Ashina Simo was dumbfounded, he couldn't understand what he said......

The wolf god is above!

This person will not admit that he was harming the Turkic Khanate back then, right?!
