Chapter 283: Tuyuhun

As Zhang Yunwen expected, after the banquet, Li Ke really came over and said that he was visiting Zhang Yunwen. However, what he saw was a disheveled Zhang Yunwen lying on the bed, with a strong smell of wine all around.

Seeing this situation, Li Ke's eyes suddenly flashed with a thick look of disappointment.

As for the three musicians, they still didn't enter the palace with Li Shimin in the end. Li Shimin finally showed his due courage, not only did not let the three daughters pay tribute, but instead ordered Yousi to get rid of the slavery of the three girls, gave them a hundred taels of gold, and let them travel the world.

After the guests were sent out by Li Yu and Mei Xiang, Zhang Yunwen also got up and began to wash and change clothes. At this time, the Liu brothers and the two old men also returned to the mansion and reported the situation in the natural residence and the Zuiyun Building.

Although Zhang Yunwen did not go to these two places in person, the Liu brothers, as Zhang Yunwen's brothers, are already well-known, and they can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of landlords. And those guests also knew who Zhang Yunwen was with, in addition to being a high-ranking official in the court, there was also His Majesty the Emperor, so Zhang Yunwen didn't come, but it was not so rude.

According to the two old men, the situation of the two restaurants is not bad, although there are many guests, they are orderly, coupled with the delicious wine and food, and there are beautiful musicians to accompany the music, so they also eat hard.

Hearing what they said, Zhang Yunwen was relieved.

Then the crowd began to count the gifts they had received today.

First, there was a big stack of gift lists. Zhang Yunwen hurriedly flipped through these gift lists, his eyes lit up, and the laughter of "Lotus" came out from time to time. Li Yuzhi, who was next to him, rolled his eyes: "Xianggong, what good things make you so excited?" ”

Zhang Yunwen pointed to the gift list: "Well, this!" When everyone looked at it, they saw that the gift list read: one BMW "electric switch", ten red Shu brocades, a pair of jade, and one of three treasures and jade Ruyi.

"Tsk, who gave this gift, this gift is heavy enough!" After Li Yu saw it, he also said with a smile.

"Well, I'll see! Uh, Dai Guogong, it was sent by General Li Jing and Li! ”

Then look down, only to see that these gifts are not light, from BMW carved cars, to pen, ink, paper and inkstone, all of them have been sent, and they are all valuable treasures. Seeing these things, Zhang Yunwen suddenly smiled and said: "You can earn so many good things by holding a banquet, but if you earn back the money spent on holding a banquet, if we hold it a few more times in the future, wouldn't it be a fortune?" ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's words, it immediately aroused everyone's eyes.

After holding a full moon banquet, Zhang Yunwen began to return to his normal life. However, Li Ke's words at the banquet gave Zhang Yunwen a sense of crisis. Therefore, Zhang Yunwen is cautious whether it is a court meeting or ordinary official business, and even hides his traces, just not wanting Li Ke to bump into him.

This cautious attitude did not make him meet Li Ke again, and occasionally when Li Ke arrived at home, he could always not enter the house under Mei Xiang's hints, and dragged it until Li Ke consciously left.

In this way, nothing happened. However, the information sent by the investigation institute made Zhang Yunwen a little entangled.

In February, Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan asked Li Shimin for his son King Zun, and Li Shimin adopted the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji and promised this family affair, but he asked the king to come to Chang'an to welcome his relatives. However, more than a month has passed, and there is no sign of departure. The envoy interrogated, and Fu Yun asked Datang to send his relatives over.

Li Shimin, who got the news, was not angry, but just sneered lightly, and said in the court: "Tuyuhun Fuyun is insincere, if this is the case, then I will refuse his marriage and no longer marry the princess Yu Tuyuhun!" ”

All the ministers suddenly said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

However, the matter was not over, and Fu Yun, who had failed to ask for his relatives, sent troops to Kolan and Kuo Erzhou on the second day after Li Shimin's will was conveyed to Tuyuhun. Although it was finally repelled by the local defenders, this attitude was undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Tang Dynasty. This is intolerable for the arrogant Li Shimin.

Within two days, another urgent message was sent to the Investigation Institute, only to see that it was written: "The envoy Zhao Dekai is held by Fu Yun!" ”

When Zhang Yunwen passed this information to Li Shimin, Li Shimin slapped the cases in front of him and said sharply: "I should raise millions of troops and personally destroy Tuyuhun!" ”

Zhang Yunwen hurriedly persuaded: "Although Tuyuhun claims to have 200,000 soldiers, it is located in the Western Regions, and its national strength is weak. ”

After listening to Zhang Yunwen's words, Li Shimin's face improved a little.

Zhang Yunwen continued: "If you send troops immediately, you will definitely end up in the name of bullying Ruo, and you will definitely be blocked by the old ministers of the court!" Speaking of this, Zhang Yunwen looked at Li Shimin, but saw the latter nodding expressionlessly, presumably knowing who the "old minister" in Zhang Yunwen's mouth was.

"Fu Yun entered the two states of Kolan and Kuo, this is one of them; Today, he is the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and this is the second. If His Majesty summons the Tuyuhun envoy, Chen will say good and bad, and Fu Yun will not be evil, this is the third. The third number has arrived, I'm afraid that even those old ministers can't stop sending troops anymore! Zhang Yunwen said with a half-squinted smile that look was very similar to the legendary dog-headed military advisor.

After listening to Zhang Yunwen's words, Li Shimin patted Zhang Yunwen on the shoulder: "Yunwen's words are very good!" Hehe, I immediately summoned the Tuyuhun envoy over, no, I will go in person, and tell the envoy to know the benefits, and let him bring a message to Fu Yun! ”

Zhang Yunwen was suddenly excited: "Your Majesty must bow down to everything, and he is really a generation of Ming Jun!" ”

Hearing Zhang Yunwen's such a naked fart, although Li Shimin's face did not change, the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be dissolved.

On the second day of the court meeting, Li Shimin made a generous statement, counting Tuyuhun's crimes, but at the end, he said: "I repay my grievances with virtue and agree to marry the princess and Tuyuhun with him, but that Fu Yun actually entered Kolan and Kuo Erzhou first, and the envoy came later, making it clear that he wanted to be the enemy of my Tang Dynasty." However, I think that my Central Plains has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, and I am also a benevolent house, so I decided to give Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan a chance at the end, I will come to the place of the Tuyuhun mission, and know the benefits to its envoys. ”

All the ministers immediately said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming! Even the old Confucian represented by Kong Yingda was full of excitement, and muttered in his mouth: "The saint convinces people with virtue and educates the world, and the saint should do the same!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Shimin personally came to the Fanguan and summoned the envoys of Natuguhun to know the benefits and harms to them. The Tuyuhun envoy kept hanging his head, not daring to look at Li Shimin.

When leaving the pavilion, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth.

Half a month later, the envoy returned to Tuyuhun and repeated Li Shimin's words to Murong Fuyun. Fu Yun Khan listened to it and hesitated slightly. But a person next to him laughed "haha" and said: "Don't worry, although this Tang Emperor is very powerful, he may not dare to send troops to attack!" I Tuguhun has 500,000 troops, and if Datang wants to raise troops to fight, it needs to mobilize at least 300,000 troops, and its heavy grain alone is enough to make it difficult. Besides, Tuyuhun is thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty, during which there are sand moraines, it is difficult to see people, the winter is as cold as a knife, and the summer sun is like fire, so how dare the Tang army come? ”

Murong Fuyun saw that this person was the King of Tianzhu, the prime minister of the Tuyuhun Kingdom. This person is the person Fu Yun trusts the most. Since Murong Fuyun was old and decrepit, Tuyuhun government affairs were all controlled by the King of Tianzhu. Now hearing King Tianzhu say this, Murong Fuyun hissed and laughed: "Xiangguo's words are Ben Khan's intentions, so everything will be up to Xiangguo!" ”

The Heavenly Pillar King smiled faintly, put his right hand on his chest, bowed, and left the big tent.

Therefore, since the envoy returned to Tuyuhun, Murong Fuyun did not follow Li Shimin's intention to enter the court to ask for guilt, but he was silent.

As soon as this news was transmitted back to Chang'an, Li Shimin said lightly at the court meeting: "Ladies and gentlemen, the former I used Murong Fu Yunxiao to take advantage of the harm and make him enter Chang'an to ask for guilt, and I will not blame the past!" But now, Fu Yun doesn't listen to the edict and still sits in the west! Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it, how should I deal with Tuyuhun? ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Hou Junji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Tuyuhun does not obey the royal way, it is difficult to educate, and I am in the city, so I should ask for it!" ”

As soon as Hou Junji's words fell, another person also spoke: "Weichen also agrees to send troops to ask for it!" "This person is Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng.

With these two taking the lead, many other generals also asked to send troops to fight.

At this time, I saw Xiao Yu standing in the main hall. As soon as they saw him come out, Zhang Yunwen and many generals thought that this old man was going to speak out, but they heard him say in a hoarse voice: "During the great cause of the previous dynasty, the Sui Emperor made two expeditions to Tuguhun and smashed into the city, and Murong Fuyun fled from the party. The Han army occupied all its land, set up Heyuan, Xihai, Shanshan, and the last four counties, sent the world to live in misdemeanors, and greatly prospered Tuntian. However, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains was too busy to take care of itself, and Murong Fuyun took the opportunity to seize our four counties and take refuge in the Turks. Now I am disrespectful to my Tang Dynasty, and the old minister thinks that this is a country that must be conquered, and it should be begged! ”

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts at the same time, and this old man finally didn't come out to stir up the situation.

Xiao Yu said, but saw Wei Zheng stand up and say, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "If you have something to say, it is!" ”

Wei Zheng said: "Since the Tang Dynasty has completely destroyed the Eastern Turks, the south of the desert is empty, but the north of the desert Xue Yantuo sits on the big, His Majesty is to set up a military government in the south of the desert, and the annexed departments are widely attached to the south of the desert, forming a buffer between my Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo. Now this Tuyuhun is also the same, if Your Majesty sends troops to destroy it, then my Tang Dynasty Western Xinjiang will have one less buffer, so the ministers please beat Tuyuhun to the loss of national strength, but it will not be destroyed, thinking that I am the screen of the Tang Dynasty Western Regions! ”

Li Shimin listened to Wei Zheng's words, and immediately nodded: "Wei Qing's words, it is really a great good thing to become a country!" After a long silence, they got up and paced back and forth in the hall. Finally, after standing still, he said aloud: "Listen to the generals! ”

All the generals knelt down in an instant.

"Order Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to be the head of the Xihai Road march, and Fan Xing, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, to be the head of the Chishui Road march, and to defeat the border soldiers, the Qibi and the party!"

After the second general received the order, Li Shimin continued: "Don't wait, Tuyuhun is skilled in bow horses, and it is very easy to escape, if it is far away, when pursuing, be cautious!" ”

The two generals hugged their fists at the same time and said, "Oh! ”
