Chapter 29 The outside must first be at ease
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness." Li Shimin and Chen Feng sat in front of the hall drinking tea, and Chen Feng opened his mouth to congratulate.
"And thank you, sir, for your ingenuity." Li Shimin did not take credit, but put the credit on Chen Feng, "If it weren't for Mr. who came up with such a plan to retreat from the enemy, I'm afraid that Li Min would have fallen into the war at this time, and if it wasn't for Mr. Trek's single-handedly breaking into the enemy camp to persuade Tuli regardless of his own safety, he would not have been able to achieve this result." ”
"In this battle, Mr.'s credit is far greater than so!" Li Shimin, who spoke, did not feel that Chen Feng was suspected of being a meritorious master, and there were only countless gratitude in his heart.
"If it weren't for His Highness's elite soldiers to check and balance, if it weren't for His Highness's deep belief in Yu, this matter would never have been possible." How dare Chen Feng take credit, although this is an ancient monarch in front of him, but the most taboo for the emperor has always been the master of high merit, Li Shimin has not yet had such an idea, but will there be clinker in the future.
"Alright, don't compliment each other." Li Shimin seemed to see that Chen Feng was taboo in his heart, and he could be regarded as letting Chen Feng go with kindness.
"How did you decide that, sir?" Li Shimin is not unable to understand Chen Feng's good intentions, but under this operation, he did find a strong backer for him, as long as the Turks are in one day, he has his back against the Turks, and the emperor and the crown prince want to move him, they must think carefully, whether the Turks will make a move for him, and whether the Qin Wangfu will lead foreign enemies into the Central Plains.
"Knowing what His Highness is worried about, His Highness can only rest assured, if there is really a day when the Turks attack, there is still a way to retreat from the enemy." Li Shimin is worried that the Qin Wangfu will lead the Turks to invade the Central Plains, if you ask who is most loyal to the Tang Dynasty, the answer must be Qin King Li Shimin, because every inch of the Tang Dynasty is laid down by him. Just like his own child, he was reluctant to be trampled on by outsiders, and for this reason, when the Turks invaded, he fought hard.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard that if you go outside, you must first be inside!" Chen Feng lowered his head and asked.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, "Does Mr. mean that if you want to retreat from foreign enemies, you must first achieve internal peace?" ”
"Exactly." Chen Feng nodded yes, "Your Highness must know that every time the court is turbulent, it is the time when foreign enemies invade, and at this time, internal and external troubles are very prone to change. ”
"At this time, it was the beginning of the turmoil in the court, His Royal Highness wanted to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the ninety-five thrones, that is, the first civil strife, at this time His Royal Highness needed a reason to appease the Turks, His Royal Highness and the Turkic Khan became brothers with different surnames is the reason, and the princess who is close to the Turks is the reason."
After hearing this, Li Shimin sighed slightly, "I wanted to make the people happy and peaceful, but I didn't want to cause trouble in the city again." ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to bother yourself, after the wind and rain, it will be Lang Lang Qiankun, and I believe that His Royal Highness will be able to lead Datang out of a prosperous world."
"I hope to win by chance." Li Shimin finally lost his worried look, and his eyes were clear.
There was no rainy rain when the army left Beijing, and the weather was fine when I returned to Beijing at this time, and the road was smooth, which shortened the time by about half.
On the 24th day of May in the ninth year of Wude, Li Shimin led the envoys of Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan to Chang'an City, and Li Yuan, the son of heaven, personally went out of the palace to meet the generals, and the people of Chang'an also welcomed them.
In less than a month, King Qin had already won a great victory, and he was a true god.
It is said that the mother of this person is a person from the Central Plains, and his appearance also follows his mother, biased towards the appearance of a man in the Central Plains, with a slender body and a fair complexion, which is not at all as red and red-eyed as the Turkic people.
Due to the problem of appearance, although Ashina Simo is the uncle of the Khan, he is not valued in the Turks and has not been reused for a long time. However, the Turks were not like the Tang Dynasty, in which the inability to lead troops meant that there was no additional income, and they only lived on the duke's money, and life was difficult.
However, as soon as he entered Chang'an, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered people to eat, drink and serve, and the food and clothing were of the same level as the vassal king, and he was also named the king of Heshun, who was the title of a prince, and when he left, he also sent a bunch of gold, silver and jade silk and satin, which really made Ashina Simo have a sense of joy.
At the request of Tuli Khan, Tang King Li Yuan personally presided over the worship of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, since the sentence "Blessing and misfortune" fell, the prince Li Jiancheng's face finally turned black, he never expected that his Yin Yin calculation actually found a shocking backer for Li Shimin.
Although the Turki Khan is not the son of the Jieli Khan, and it is unlikely that he will become the Great Khan in the future, this Turki Khan has grown up beside the Jieli Khan since he was a child, and he is the one with the most similar personality to the Jieli Khan, so he is deeply liked by the Jieli Khan.
In front of Jieli, the words spoken by this nephew are even more effective than those of parents and children.
Li Shimin and the Turki Khan became brothers with different surnames, which shows that the entire Turkic has become his backing, which makes Li Jiancheng not worried.
Li Yuan is happy to see it, in his opinion, the end of this second son has been settled, go to Luoyang to claim the king, this life may not have the opportunity to step into the capital half a step, and Tuli Yi married Jin Lan, with such a huge backer son, even if the crown prince will inherit the throne one day, he can't take him.
On the other hand, it can also ensure the net worth of the second son Li Shimin.
Until this time, Li Shimin's reputation among the people has increased greatly, and he also feels that this son is on the weak side, before he was biased towards the prince, after all, that is the prince, is the future Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven, the face must let the prince get by, and he will be able to convince the public in the future, and at this time the overall situation has been decided, he also began to think for the Qin King Li Shimin, can only try to save his life, as for the rest, let him stand on his own Son of Heaven to sit in Luoyang is already the maximum he can do, no matter more, I am afraid that the prince will be resentful and unbearable.
On May 26, the ninth year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks formally signed a new alliance, and a new cooperative relationship was established between the two sides.
The covenant stipulated that the border between the two countries would open a market half a year later, and the Turks would provide the Tang Dynasty with cattle, horses, sheep and other large livestock, and the Tang Dynasty would also provide the Turks with daily necessities, gold, silver and jade. The opening of the trade market between the two places is a great joy for the two sides, and the two sides can exchange ideas and take what they need.
Trade between the two places means that the Turkic cavalry no longer have to rob the Tang Dynasty people to obtain these affairs, and there is no need to rob, how can the day of peace be far away?
With this merit, the reputation of the King of Qin once again reached its peak, and it was not only praised by the government and the public, but also by the people of Li who were grateful.
