Chapter 117: Get Prepared

"Xuan! Turkic envoys go to the temple! ”

After a while, a tall man wearing a characteristic costume of the grassland walked up to the hall, and he did not bow down, but only bowed his hand, and said long live, and then stopped talking, waiting for Li Yuan to respond.

With such arrogance, how can I eat dry rice for the courtiers? "Last year, the Khan of your country sent an envoy and called my emperor a brother. Now that you don't worship my emperor, do you want to rebel against the Turks?"

This is the skill, the skill of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, don't say that you are rude and have violated any taboo for me, just say that you are rude and have committed your own taboo. The Turkic envoy was speechless, knelt down and said: "Turkic envoy Horqin, meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live the emperor!" ”

It's good to kneel, it doesn't matter what you say, Li Yuan said: "Flat, Aiqing wants to see me, what is it for?" ”

The Turkic envoy arched his hand and said: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I came to the Tang Dynasty to discuss good-neighborliness and friendship with the Tang Dynasty and make peace forever." ”

When everyone heard it, it was exactly the same as last time.

Li Yuan sneered: "Okay, the auspicious khan is very relieved by this truce and peace heart, and the people of the Tang Dynasty also expect peace on both sides, but I don't know if the auspicious khan has other instructions?" ”

The Turkic envoy opened his mouth and said, "The auspicious khan asked me to say that there are three conditions. First, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks opened up the mutual market, and the people traded freely, and the government was not allowed to interfere. Second, the Tang Dynasty sent millions of coins, 100,000 horses of cloth, and 100,000 catties of salt to the Turks every year. Third, Princess Gaoyang of the Tang Dynasty married me Jili Khan as his wife. If these three conditions are achieved, our Turkic Khanate and the Tang Dynasty will always become friends and neighbors, and the Jili Khan will be the brother of the Tang Emperor, and they will not invade each other again. ”

After the Turkic envoy finished speaking, everyone present secretly cursed shamelessly. Why is this condition shameless for the Turks? Let's look at the first mutual market, which was also the case in the first month of last year, and said that the mutual market is irrelevant, but what is it really like? The horses that the Tang people wanted to buy could not buy a single one, while the grain and cloth that the Turks wanted were bought at will. What did the government say that it did not interfere, and you said that the Turkic Khan did not interfere? That's because the Turks are slavery, there is no government at all, and the slave owners do it according to their own will! Shameless, right? In fact, if the slave owners let their subordinates trade fairly with the Tang people, there was no situation that the Tang Dynasty people could not buy.

Xu Qing also said in his heart, this is Nagong and Heqin, and he is almost a minister, and the Turks are ruthless enough. The three conditions of the Turks only took one step back, that is, Li Yuan as a brother. But if you think about it carefully, this is not a regression, but a more shameless condition. Jili Khan married Li Yuan's daughter, and in the end he only called him brother, what is this? These three conditions are the three advantages of the Tang Dynasty: the surplus under normal trade, the superiority of etiquette, and the development and lack of civilized etiquette (chaotic generation).

At this time, the official came out again and said: "Jili Khan married me the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and should call my emperor Mount Tai, don't the Turks know etiquette?" ”

The Turkic envoy did not flinch this time, but said disdainfully: "I don't have any Taishan in Turks,"

If a person is shameless, he is invincible, and now the official is speechless.

Li Yuan sat on the dragon couch and said: "Okay, it's just these conditions, it's not harsh, the Tang Kingdom of China, rich all over the world, hundreds of millions of people, this little thing is nothing." However, since it is a sum between the two, then I also have conditions. First, the Turks paid an annual tribute of 10,000 BMW to Datang. Second, south of the desert, there can be no Turkic tents. Third, all the remnants of the former Sui were sent back to Datang, leaving no one behind. ”

Well, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests, since everyone sits down to talk about interests, let's talk. You want money, I want horses, you want to be equal to my Datang, I want land, you want princesses, I want people, so I ask you if you can? At this time, Li Yuan's domineering aura leaked, and all the ministers in the palace bowed their hands and said: "My emperor is Shengming!" ”

Li Yuan looked at the Turkic envoy with a smile, I have a solidarity group, do you have one?

Before the Turkic envoy came, the Jili Khan also hoped that the delay would last longer, and he instructed the envoy that if Li Yuan made a request, only land and horses could not be granted, and nothing else mattered.

So the Turkic envoy said: "I can't accept this condition, and I ask the emperor to think twice." ”

Li Yuanwen smiled and said: "You can't be the master of these conditions, please write back to report to the auspicious Khan." ”

The Turkic envoys also secretly scolded the Han people for being cunning, and obviously wanted to stop the war, but they had to care about these gadgets. So he said: "Emperor, I can't agree to the two conditions you mentioned, horses and land, and the people of the former Sui can be sent back." ”

Li Yuan immediately nodded: "Okay, you reduce two conditions, and I also subtract two, no mutual market, can I pay tribute without an age?" ”

Everyone here plucked their ears, did you hear me right? Why, what Li Yuan was most reluctant to do before was to marry his daughter, but now why did he remove the mutual market and the annual tribute, and leave the princess to marry? Princess Gaomi didn't agree before, but now Princess Gaoyang agrees, is it because the emperor favors one over the other? The Turks are also strange, what kind of tribute and mutual market, but the robbery has been replaced by coercion, and if you don't agree, we will still rob it. But this Tang Dynasty princess is not easy to grab, and she can also be a hostage. After thinking for a while, he said: "The emperor is wise, and the auspicious khan yearns to be related to the Tang Dynasty, where do you care about those other things?" In this way, I can promise on behalf of our Khan, who will marry Princess Gaoyang, and I, the Turks, will also bring back the people of the former Sui. ”

Li Yuan said in disbelief: "Is your word credible?" After all, it's a major national event, do the words of your little envoy count? ”

The Turks saw that they were about to go back with the princess, where could they take care of anything else, and immediately agreed: "The token that the Khan gave me is here, so that I will always make peace with the Tang Dynasty, my words are the words of my Turkic Khan, if there is a violation, then let the steppe wolf god and the grain god of the Central Plains punish us together, so that our horses will suffer from wolf plagues and grain plagues from locusts." How is it? ”

When Li Yuan heard this, he replied: "Since I have been so assured at this time, I will believe you once, and I hope that you will cherish your identity as a Turkic envoy and not do anything treacherous." Ministry of Rites, let's talk about the preparations that need to be made for the princess's marriage. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and secretly said in his heart that my emperor Shengming, and thought about it in his heart, there is no need to really say the etiquette of marrying a princess today, but the more difficult it is, the better, and said: "Your Majesty, the princess needs to build a princess mansion, considering the Turkic nomadism, it is necessary to build five palaces in the place where the Turks live on the steppe." It is also necessary to send someone to pick up relatives, and it is necessary to prepare silk, silk, silver, and gold...... ...... needed"

As soon as the matters that need to be prepared to marry the princess were said, the Turkic envoy was immediately dumbfounded and hurriedly asked: "After these things are prepared, how long will it take to marry?" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu pondered and said: "At this time, I have to ask the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to know......"

Poof, I don't know what kind of tongue you have?
