Chapter 233: Western Turkic Envoy

Early the next morning, Li Chengqian left Wenrou Township and went to the Xiande Hall to preside over the morning meeting. Flash Dance

Li Er was ill and needed to recuperate for a period of time, and all major military affairs were handed over to Li Chengqian to deal with, except for major incidents that needed to be reported to Li Er, everything else was approved by Li Chengqian.

Even such a thing as the early dynasty was personally presided over by Li Chengqian.

For the minister, it was just that the place of the meeting was transferred from the Taiji Hall in Ouchi to the Hyeondeok Hall in the East Palace.

During this time, Li Chengqian's sabotage of Dou Huaiyi and Li Shu's marriage went very smoothly, which successfully caused Li Er's dissatisfaction with Dou Huaiyi.

In the end, Li Er dismissed and surrendered his daughter Li Shu to Dou Huaiyi, and Li Chengqian took the opportunity to recommend Long Zhi, who was promoted to Zuotun Wei Zhonglang for his meritorious service in the crusade against Xue Yantuo, to Li Er.

With the help of Li Chengqian, Li Er was very satisfied with Long Zhi, and finally agreed to surrender Li Shu, the princess of Lanling, to Long Zhi.

Long Zhi and Xue Wanche married the princess of the Tang Dynasty at the same time.

After a period of recuperation, Li Er's illness was almost cured, and the government naturally returned to Li Er's hands.

The next day, Li Er, whose condition had just improved, couldn't wait to hold an early court.

Li Chengqian put on court clothes under the service of the maids, took the jade wat and went to the Taiji Hall to go to the court.

After going through layers of checks, Li Chengqian went to the Taiji Hall to wait for Li Er's arrival. 35xs

"Your Majesty has arrived!" As Wang Yuan's shout sounded, Li Er walked in from outside the hall, and Li Chengqian and the ministers knelt down and saluted.

"See Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! "Li Er sat down on the throne and accepted the minister's congratulations!

"All the ministers are flat!" Li Erdao.

Li Chengqian and the ministers got up and knelt and sat down, and before the Song Dynasty, the ministers did not need to stand, but knelt on the mat, which was called sitting on the ground.

Since the Song Dynasty, the emperor has been sitting, and the ministers below have all stood and spoke, regardless of their official positions.

"What's going on today?" Li Er asked.

"Your Majesty!" The official of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said: "The Western Turkic Khan sent an envoy to Chang'an, and now he is staying at the post house, I wonder if His Majesty has summoned him?" ”

"You didn't say that I almost forgot! Let's meet the envoys of the Western Turks! Li Er said.

The Western Turks sent envoys to Chang'an, and the border defenders sent letters and reported the itinerary long before the Western Turks.

The Western Turks are a force supported by Li Er in Mobei, originally to deal with Xue Yantuo, but who knew that the Western Turks were not opponents, and they were beaten by Xue Yantuo again and again.

If Li Er hadn't sent someone to mediate, Xue Yantuo would have had to swallow his anger, and the Western Turks would have been cold!

Where else are there any Western Turkic envoys to send tribute to the Heavenly Khan. 35xs

"Xuanxi Turkic envoys come to you!"

"Xuanxi Turkic envoys come to you!"

"Xuanxi Turkic envoys come to you!"

The sound started from the main hall, and it was transmitted to the outside one by one, and naturally people would go to the post house to invite the Western Turkic envoys to meet His Majesty the Emperor!

Soon, the envoys of the Western Turkic Khan were brought to the main hall.

"Turkic envoys see His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!" The Western Turkic envoy saluted Li Er.

"No rudeness!" Li Erdao.

"Thank God Khan!" The messenger got up and said: "Great Heavenly Khan, my Turkic Khan ordered me to come to Chang'an, and specially offered treasures to Heavenly Khan, this is a gift list, and I also invite Heavenly Khan to look at it." ”

After speaking, the Western Turkic envoy took out the gift list and handed it to Li Er, which listed the local products of this tribute.

Wang Yuan stepped forward to take it, turned around and returned to Li Er's side, and handed the gift list to Li Er.

After Li Er saw it, he was very satisfied with the native products paid by the Western Turks, and rewarded the Western Turks with the Khan of Yibi.

In fact, this time, the Western Turkic Yibi Khan sent an envoy to Chang'an to make a pilgrimage to Li Er, in addition to paying tribute to local products, there was also a purpose.

"Great Heavenly Khan, I, the Turkic Khan, would like to ask you to give marriage to our Khan!" The Western Turkic envoy knelt down on one knee and saluted.

This is the main purpose of their coming to Chang'an to pay tribute, to ask for marriage to the Tang Dynasty.

As for who to marry, it doesn't matter at all, as long as it is a woman who marries to the Western Turks under the edict issued by the Tang Emperor.

Since the destruction of the Xueyanta Khanate, the Western Turkic Ibpi Khan has become more and more restless.

This time, the envoy was sent to Chang'an to propose marriage in order to use the prestige of the Tang Empire to increase the influence of the Western Turks in the Western Regions, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the Western Regions.

Now that there is no enemy of Xue Yantuo, the Western Turkic Yibi Chuan Khan has begun to swell up a little.

Therefore, as for what kind of woman he will marry, Yibi Shekui Khan doesn't mind at all, anyway, he just wants to use the name of the Tang Dynasty to pull the banner of Tiger Pila.

Besides, will the Li Tang Dynasty find a random woman and marry to the Western Turks? Do you want the face of the Li Tang Dynasty?

Even if she is not the emperor's biological daughter, at least she is a princess and a princess, and no matter how bad she is, it is okay to be a palace maid with a title.

As long as it is a woman from the Tang Dynasty and has a title, no matter what kind of woman it is, Yibi Shekui Khan will accept it all.

All he wanted was the title on this woman's head, and that was what could bring him countless benefits.

Li Er frowned after hearing this, he never expected that the Western Turkic Yibi Shekui Khan would actually take the opportunity to ask for marriage.

The ministers were all talking, whispering about the Western Turks' marriage proposal.

The Western Turkic envoys turned a deaf ear to the courtiers' discussions, and he quietly waited for the Tang Emperor to make a decision.

"What's the noise? What a system to make noise in the court! Li Er knocked on the armrest of the throne and roared.

There are still outsiders here, and these guys don't know how to check some of them, so they are talking about it in this sacred court.

"That's it for today, I'm a little tired! The Turkic envoys will first return to the post house to rest, and as for your Khan's marriage request, I will give you an answer when the time comes. Li Er said.

Whether or not he should agree to the request of the Khan of Yibi to ask for marriage, Li Er has to carefully consider it.

"It's the Khan! The foreign minister retires!" The Western Turkic envoys saluted and retreated, and when they left the main hall, someone led the envoys out of the palace and back to the post house.

The Western Turkic envoys were not in a hurry, Li Er did not refuse, and there was still room for maneuver in this marriage proposal.

"The court is here this morning, the prince, the king of Jin, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Ma Zhou, Fang Xuanling, Yang Shidao stayed, and the rest of the people retreated." After the Western Turkic envoys left, Li Er said.

"Wait for the resignation!" Except for those who were named to stay, the other ministers all withdrew and went down to the office.

Why did Li Er leave them, Li Chengqian and the others had already guessed a few points in their hearts.

It must have been Li Er's hesitation in the matter of the Western Turks' marriage proposal, and he wanted to get an idea from them on whether he should agree to the marriage proposal of the Yibi Shekuku Khan.
