Qi Bi He Li's words made Li Shimin very moved and said: "Is this good? Doesn't it seem that I am a bit of a scoundrel, going back on my word, and not keeping my promises! ”

Li Shimin still cherishes his reputation very much, although because of the Xuanwumen incident, his reputation is not very good.

"Your Majesty marries a daughter, the man always has to give a dowry, and he has to come to welcome his relatives, His Majesty can ask the other party to give more dowry, presumably the true pearl Khan Yi Nan of Xue Yantuo will definitely not refuse to agree, and will definitely find a way to get together the dowry.

In order to make up the dowry, it will definitely be snatched by tricks, so that the people complain, Xue Yantuo only has cattle, sheep and horses, His Majesty asked for 50,000 horses, 100,000 sheep, 10,000 cattle and camels, this dowry is not excessive, Xue Yantuo is also together.

His Majesty can ask Yi Nan to send the dowry to Lingzhou and marry Her Royal Highness the Princess, Xue Yantuo is far away from Lingzhou, and there is a big desert in the middle, and when his dowry is sent to Lingzhou, half of it can be left, which can be regarded as his luck.

When the time comes, Your Majesty will refuse to marry Her Royal Highness the princess to Yi Nan in the name of only giving half of the dowry, who can say that Your Majesty is not? ”

After Li Shimin heard this, he thought to himself! How can there be a reason to give only half of the dowry gift? Therefore, he immediately sent someone to tell the envoy of the Xue Yantuo tribe who came to tell the other party his requirements and conditions, and sent the other party back.

Yi Nan's envoy, after a lot of hardships, returned to the Xue Yantuo Department, and told Li Shimin's requirements and the conditions for the dowry to Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan one by one.

Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan was surprised and delighted, and said triumphantly to his subordinates: "Oh, you see that I am a Tiele man, how did I become the Khan of the Son of Heaven and the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, who can be so glorious as me?" Come, let me read two lines of poetry ......! ”

It's a pity that Zhenzhu Khan Yi Nan racked his brains and didn't come up with any good poems.

Among the subordinates of Zhenzhu Khan Yinan, someone said: "I'm afraid this is the conspiracy of the Tang Emperor, and if the Khan is directly detained at that time, it will be bad." ”

"That's impossible, if the Tang Emperor really did this, then his reputation as a heavenly khan would be stinky, and who would be willing to obey his orders in the future." Zhenzhu Khan is still very confident in Li Shimin's bearing and mind.

In order to marry the princess, Yi Nan really tried his best and put in some effort.

Xue Yantuo did not have a treasury, so he could only loot from various tribes, and the people's grievances were boiling, which was also inevitable.

With great difficulty, he gathered 50,000 horses, 100,000 sheep, 10,000 cattle and camels, and personally led a team to welcome his relatives and drove 170,000 miscellaneous animals on the road.

170,000 miscellaneous animals were on the roam, and that scene was quite spectacular. There are thousands of people escorting these dowry gifts, and these people also have to eat and drink along the way, so in fact, 100,000 sheep is definitely not enough.

Thousands of people went from Xuyantuo to Lingzhou, and it took several months to go back and forth, and there were no 20,000 sheep, which was estimated to be not enough for them to eat.

At first, it was very smooth, but as soon as you entered the desert, you lost a lot, not to mention sheep, and when a sandstorm came down, even a few people died.

Finally got out of the desert, Lingzhou is in front of him, and he will be able to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty soon, and Zhenzhu Khan Yinan is very happy.

But after an inventory, at least half of the dowry was lost, and Zhenzhu Khan Yinan couldn't be happy.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, personally rushed to Lingzhou with his ministers and the emerging princess, waiting for the Zhenzhu Khan Yinan, who came to marry the emerging princess with a dowry.

The ministers were very happy in their hearts, and after the marriage, the grassland was no longer a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and they could concentrate on recuperation.

Zhenzhu Khan Yinan visited Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was also very calm, and asked people to receive the dowry gift from Zhenzhu Khan Yinan.

As a result, after the count, the loss of 50,000 horses was not large, only two or three thousand were missing, and the camels were even less, although there were also dozens of them, but those were negligible.

In the procession to welcome relatives, two or three thousand horses can be made, and dozens of camels are no problem, but sheep and cattle will lose a lot.

Of the 100,000 sheep, less than 30,000 remained, and less than half of the cattle remained.

Qi Bi He Li was released, half of the dowry arrived, and the "sensible minister" finally jumped out.

This man said to Li Shimin: "The foreigners don't have a dowry, if they marry a princess, Yidi will definitely despise China in the future." ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately understood and said: "Yes! Don't give! Immediately tore up the marriage contract on the grounds that the dowry was insufficient. ”

Zhenzhu Khan Yinan was shocked, and hurriedly pleaded with Li Shimin: "Your Majesty has already issued an edict to marry the emerging princess to the minister, how can you easily regret the marriage, and please allow the minister to marry the princess back first, and the dowry sent will definitely be sent to Datang again." ”

Li Shimin finally seized this opportunity, how could he agree to Zhenzhu Khan Yinan's request, and did not detain him on the spot, it was already very good, because he took care of his reputation, and he was afraid that it would not sound good if it was spread.

After all, it is a little too shameful to detain the other party at this time.

"I have a lot of kindness and promised my daughter to you, but you don't know what to dow, and you only sent half of the dowry, obviously looking down on my princess, and you want me to marry the princess to you, it's just wishful thinking." Li Shimin was very angry and rejected the request of Zhenzhu Khan Yinan.

The dignified Heavenly Dynasty reversed itself, accepted the dowry and did not marry the daughter, the ministers blew up the pot, and many people came to advise, among which the left servant shot Fang Xuanling, and the opposition of Chu Suiliang in the servant was particularly fierce.

In fact, "insufficient dowry" was originally an excuse. Li Shimin had already moved to get rid of Xue Yantuo, and he also understood that Yi Nan would use "harmony" to stabilize his position and strengthen his strength.

Li Shimin even thought that in order to get rid of this possible rising steppe khanate, "repentance" was a more terrible weapon than direct refusal.

He said to the ministers who had advised him: "Xue Yantuo is now weak, and the reason why he is in a hurry to make peace is to bring the tribes together under our banner. When he is strong enough to stand on his own feet, he will definitely rebel again. “

"When the news of the repentance of the marriage spreads, the tribes feel that the Tang Dynasty is disgusted with Xue Yantuo and will definitely rise up to harass him, so the day of Xue Yantuo's death is not far away."

Sure enough, the news of the repentance of the marriage reached the Eastern Turks, and the khan Ashina Simo was so happy that snot bubbles came out.

The last time this Turkic Khan was attacked by the Xueyantuo people, he chased him all over the steppe, and now his chance for revenge has finally arrived!

Ashnasimo quickly summoned his subordinates and said, "The Turkic soldiers obey the order!"

The subordinate asked, "What's the matter with the Great Khan, the Xue Yantuo people are here again?" We're going to run into the Great Wall again?"

Ashina Simo smacked his subordinates, scolded with a smile and ordered: "Immediately gather the soldiers and horses, go to the territory of Xue Yantuo to loot, whoever grabs it will be whoever." ”

These Turkic soldiers don't know how long it has been since they plundered, and when they followed Jieli Khan in the past, they entered the border of the Tang Dynasty to plunder, which was a common thing.

After Jieli Khan was defeated, they followed Ashina Simo and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but they did not dare to plunder the Tang Dynasty again.

As for plundering Xue Yantuo's department, he didn't dare to do it, and he even had to worry that the cavalry of Xue Yantuo came to rob them, and how depressed he was.

Ashina Simo took people to the territory of Xue Yantuo, and after plundering it, he went back with his eyebrows raised.

When Xue Yantuo's Zhenzhu Khan Yinan sent troops to retaliate, Tang general Li Ji came to the rescue again, and Xue Yantuo returned with a feather.

After that, the Tang Dynasty obviously favored the Eastern Turks and suppressed Xue Yantuo.

The Zhenzhu Khan of the Xue Yantuo Department, Yi Nan, lost his wife and lost his troops, and his power in the grassland was declining day by day, so he had to try his best to make up for the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and the tribute continued.

Although it is a hot face and a cold buttocks, it can be regarded as avoiding the end of death and the destruction of the country.
