Chapter 139: The Death of the Khan of Qimin
“…… If the Turks were able to produce a large amount of salt and have enough salt to eat, the Turks would become stronger, and they would have less salt trade with our dynasty, and the number of cattle, sheep, horses, furs, and so on that our dynasty would have received from the Turks every year would also be reduced ......."
In the study, Changsun Sheng said these things to Li Jing solemnly.
At this time, if there are Turkic people here, hearing the words of Changsun Sheng, they will definitely feel that the three views are broken.
This man, who is respected by many Turks, who is considered fair and just, who has made a lot of efforts to live a stable life for the Turks, and who still has a heart for the Turks, at this time shows his unease with the Turks, and his desire to restrict and weaken them.
"But the virtuous nephew doesn't need to worry too much, I'm still there for a million male soldiers, my old bones are still there, these grassland aliens, even if they want to do something, they don't dare to make any big moves.
Saying this is just to let the virtuous nephew pay attention to this aspect, and put more thought into it, don't let this method be learned by Yidi.
You just have to guard this side, and I'll take care of the rest......"
After Changsun Sheng spoke for a while, he turned to Li Jing and said this, which immediately made the atmosphere in the room a lot easier.
His words sounded a little arrogant, but Li Jing, who understood the past of this Shibo and his influence on the Turkic side, knew that these words were not half false.
With him, today's Turks really don't dare to make a mistake.
“…… You have done a good job, and you have always maintained your vigilance against the Turks, unlike some people in the DPRK and China, who feel that now that the Turks are obedient, the north can sit back and relax, and you need to know the ...... of foreign beasts."
After Changsun Sheng spoke for a while, he said to Li Jing with a smile, emphasizing the harmfulness of the Turks, and affirming and encouraging Li Jing's approach.
"What Shibo taught is that Yidi beasts, ignorant of etiquette and religion, and not admiring kings, although they are submissive to China because of weakness, they will inevitably have different aspirations after a long time......"
Li Jing nodded and expressed great agreement with Changsun Sheng's opinion.
Looking at Li Jing's attitude, Changsun Sheng also nodded with satisfaction, this is what he admires Li Jing the most.
He was able to look down on Li Jing, associate with him like this, and take care of him, in addition to the friendships left by the late Han Baohu, the most important thing was that Li Jing was very good at his appetite, especially in his attitude towards the Turks.
“…… Shibo sent Dye Gan back to China and sent an envoy to the Turks, but now he returned in a hurry after just over three months, I don't know what happened to me......"
After deciding on the treatment of the method of salt making, the two talked for a few more words, and Li Jing thought about it and asked about the doubts that had existed in his heart for a long time.
"Alas~"
As soon as Li Jing's words came out, Changsun Sheng couldn't help but sigh.
Such a reaction made Li Jing's heart sink.
"Don't ask the virtuous nephew, I also want to talk to the virtuous nephew, dyed and died......"
After a sigh and a moment of silence, Changsun Sheng spoke, with a low voice in his voice.
Qimin Khan was a Turkic leader loyal to the Han family that he single-handedly recruited and cultivated.
It is also an important pawn for him to divide and win over and tame the powerful Turks, making them submit to the Great Sui, and helping to be strong.
If you have an affair with this person who has been completely tamed by him as the Khan of the Turks, you don't have to worry about the Turks making trouble at all.
But now, Dye Gan is dead......
"Dye dry and dead?!"
Li Jing also looked extremely surprised.
No matter how wary he was of the Turks and always guarded against them, one thing could not be denied, this old Turkic khan who was pro-Great Sui was alive, and basically he didn't have to worry too much about the Turks in the north doing too much disrespectful things to the Central Plains Dynasty.
And now, the old Turkic khan is dead.
This is not a very good sign, as it indicates that there may be some fluctuations in the relations between the settled Turks and the Great Sui.
It is not impossible for this to change.
In this regard, Li Jing's mood is more complicated, on the one hand, he is worried that the war will recur, causing unnecessary casualties, and on the other hand, he has some vague expectations.
"Well, I died, I suddenly fell ill more than twenty days ago, but I have been silent for two days.
I helped with some of the aftermath there, stabilized the Turkic situation, and then hurried back.
The Turkic man before was the Turkic envoy who reported this matter to the Supreme with me......"
"Dye Gan is dead, I wonder who will become the new Turkic Khan?"
Li Jing asked out loud, this was what he was most concerned about after learning that Dye Gan was dead.
"The son of Dyegan has always admired my dynasty, and once accompanied his father to Chang'an to pay homage to the Holy Son of Heaven, and I have been in contact with him more than once in the grassland, but he is the most friendly to my dynasty among the sons of Dyegan, and is valued by Dyegan.
During the period of serious illness, please make him the new Khan.
This time, the Turkic envoy returned to the court with me, in addition to reporting to the Supreme that he had died of illness, and also asked the Supreme to issue an edict to appoint Dujishi as the new Turkic Khan, and please follow the Turkic etiquette to take the princess of Yicheng as the wife of Dujishi and the Turkic Kedun ......"
Changsun Sheng said to Li Jing.
It won't take long for many places to know these things.
In addition, he had this relationship with Li Jing, so Changsun Sheng did not hide it, so he told Li Jing about it.
"Gilles......
Li Jing repeated the name in a low voice, with some thought.
As the more famous son of Dyinggan, Li Jing also has some understanding of this alien person, and knows that things are the same as what Changsun Sheng said, this person is indeed the most suitable among the sons of Dyinggan to become the new Turkic Khan.
However, no matter how suitable it is, there are not even many tribes left, and the whole belongs to the Khan who was able to turn over by relying on the support of the Great Sui, and was suitable for being a Turkic.
It seemed that he had seen through Li Jing's thoughts, and Changsun Sheng smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, as long as my dynasty is strong enough, these alien races will not dare to make too many changes, and it is better to dye and dry it, but it is not what it is now, use more means, and over time, it can also make it completely surrender to our dynasty like his father, and dare not think about anything wrong......"
Speaking of these, this hair is a little gray, with some old people, the whole person is in good spirits, with a strong confidence and calmness.
However, this state did not last long, he suddenly frowned, pressed his chest with one hand, and supported his forehead with the other, his face was painful.
This kind of change frightened Li Jing, he got up and helped Changsun Sheng for a while, and was about to go out to call someone to ask for a doctor, but was stopped by Changsun Sheng.
"Don't panic, this is an old problem, I'll be fine after a while."
said so, but it was not as ambitious as before, and the whole person seemed a little unwilling and unhappy.
The most helpless thing in this world is the twilight of the beauty and the white head of the hero.
(Note 1: In the real history, Qimin Khan and Changsun Sheng both died in the fifth year of the Great Cause, but it should be that Changsun Sheng died first, and Qimin died later, and there is no such thing, but this is a novel after all, not a history book, because the plot needs it, it has been changed, book friends just take a look, don't be too serious.)
Note 2: When Qimin died, they were able to eat here and enjoy the food with peace of mind, which will be explained later)
