Chapter 103: The Turkic Marriage Proposal

Three or four miles away from Chang'an City, several carriages were parked on Chang'an Avenue. Xu Qing stood on the horse, and when he heard the owner of the horse calling himself He Chang, he was immediately stunned. This is how often he is a famous person, he has no achievements, and he relies on the death to close the Xuanwu Gate to be famous for eternity. Speaking of which, it is really unfair that those honest officials are buried in the long river of history.

After staring at He Chang for a few moments, Xu Qing smiled and said, "It turns out that you are He Chang, who has really admired the name for a long time, like thunder!" As he spoke, Xu Qing turned over and dismounted, as if he was about to shake hands.

He Chang was also surprised, and said in his heart, when did I become so famous, and a foreign businessman also knew about me? Tidying up his clothes at the moment, he arched his hand to Xu Qing and said, "Your Excellency?" ”

The old eunuch stepped forward and was about to introduce Xu Qing, but was stopped by Xu Qing, only to see Xu Qing smile and said: "It's a cheap name, why don't you mess your ears." ”

He Chang was also happy, Xu Qing continued: "Since Lord He has an urgent matter, it is better to take a step, and I will wait for the ...... to get out of the way" He Chang looked at Xu Qing and nodded, which means that you are a good kid.

I saw He Chang get back into the car and drive away. At this time, the old eunuch came over to thank Xu Qingdao: "Thank you Lord Xu for saving your life......

Xu Qing waved his hand: "It's okay, my father-in-law didn't fall in pain, right?" "Xu Qing is best at two things, sending favors along the water, and holding sheep by the hand, how can he not take the favor that is white in front of his eyes.

The old eunuch bowed down and said: "Lord Xu is a guard, he is just a door supervisor, I don't know how Lord Xu ......"

A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Xu Qing's mouth: "When I led his horse just now, I didn't know why I had an extra bottle of medicine in my hand, so I added it to the horse." ”

The old eunuch was surprised: "Huh? Lord Xu, is it poison, Lord Xu, this background is not simple......"

Xu Qing chuckled: "It's okay, why is this so hard, at most it's just a fall." ”

Sure enough, He Chang almost hit someone once, so he asked the coachman to slow down and catch the car. And Xu Qing fed the horse medicine to urge. The medicine of love only works on livestock, He Chang's horse was running on the road, and suddenly became irritable, so He Chang and others fell to the ground with the car and horse. But the horse ran slowly, and He Chang only suffered a little.

Xu Qing entered the city from the Mingde Gate, went north along the Vermilion Bird Street, and then led by the old eunuch, passing by the Buzheng Fang from the Shunyi Gate such as the Imperial City, Xun Xue'er and others temporarily found an inn outside the Buzheng Fang and waited. Then enter the Taiji Palace from the Guangyun Gate, and stay in the Yeting Palace.

In ancient times, the Spring Festival holiday was actually very short, and there were even fewer officials in Chang'an City, because the Chinese New Year was a very period, with heavy etiquette and easy to produce all kinds of baskets. No, not long after the New Year, the Turks came again.

First of all, it is the power of the Central Plains, and it is a lot of things accumulated during the New Year, so the dynasty.

The Turks came this time to negotiate peace. In the first month of last year, Jili Khan sent tribute, but within half a year, he led his troops south. This time, the ministers were full of anger, and they all shouted that they would kill the waiters, and resolutely refused to make peace with the Turks.

However, there are still a few officials who remain calm but feel that the last war was drawn, which has exposed too many deficiencies of the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that it is not feasible to make up for the shortcomings and start a war in a hurry. Li Yuan, the key decision-maker in this matter, looked at the indignant ministers under the court, and then looked at the King of Qin and the crown prince who were sitting on the side and maintained their demeanor, and couldn't help but have a headache.

Turkic affairs, let's take it slowly, let's negotiate peace first.

Li Yuan opened his mouth, but he didn't say such words after all. At this moment, the Turks made an even more unreasonable request: "I, the Turkic Khan, admire the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and want to marry Princess Gaomi of the Tang Dynasty."

The Turkic Khan is the Jili Khan, at this time, the Jili Khan, even gave birth to a litter of dolls, and now he says that he will go to the princess of the Tang Dynasty as his wife, but he is actually marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty as a concubine. Moreover, the custom of the Turks, except for the main wife, the other women are only property, and the father uses it and dies, leaving it for the son to use again. Now that this waiter made this request, he was almost going to slap Li Yuan in the face.

Therefore, as soon as this request was made, the court was even more unfortunate, and they all scolded the Turkic toad for wanting to eat swan meat, which was extremely shameless, and the little barbarian also wanted to go to the princess of Huaxia. Some generals even took the Chaowat to fight the Turkic assassins. Li Yuan saw that he couldn't go down this morning, so he slapped the table and drank: "Retreat!" ”

Afterwards, he still came to the temperament and said: "Arrange the Turkic envoys to Fanfang, so that they can take care of them!" "Naturally, the word "caretaker" is extremely heavy.

The Turkic attendants turned around and walked away with their heads held high, and the ministers bowed three times and bowed before leaving. Li Yuan also instructed the eunuchs around him: "Go and call the prince, King Qin, Pei Lian, and Xu Shiji to the imperial study, I have important matters to discuss." ”

In the Taiji Palace, only Li Yuan was left sitting alone on the dragon couch, looking at the empty hall, Li Yuan was in a trance. Suddenly, his ears moved, and he heard footsteps approaching him. Then, he knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, the old slave has come back to his life......"

The person who came turned out to be the old eunuch who sent Xu Qing's message.

"Is that you? Get up......" Li Yuan asked softly, "What about him?" Won't you visit his big brothers first? ”

The last time Xu Qing went to Chang'an, he first went to Cheng Yanjin to drink, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson by Cheng Yanjin. Li Yuan also knew about this.

"No, the old slave invited Master Xu directly to the palace and waited in the Yeting Palace......"

Li Yuan finally showed a hint of anticipation for the future, rather than disgust, and raised his hand and said, "Okay, go and call him, no, call him directly to the imperial study." ”

"......"

Li Yuan sighed and said in his heart: I, Li Yuan I, the hero I, really want to sell my daughter to seek Gou An now? Hahahaha......

After laughing, Li Yuan showed endless exhaustion again, dragged his body, and went to the imperial study. The eunuch who had been waiting on the side early shouted and set up the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Xu Shiji, and Pei Lin had already arrived. The four people called by Li Yuan actually have a lot of intentions, Li Jiancheng represents the traditional Guanlong aristocracy, this tradition refers to the nobles who supported Li Yuan's ascension, from Taiyuan to Chang'an. And Li Shimin represents the emerging Shandong aristocracy, from Hebei to Xuzhou. Pei Lin represents most of today's civil officials, while Xu Shiji can say a word for most of the generals. And the four of them are all capable people who have learned civil and martial arts. The nods of these four people have basically laid the foundation for all policymaking.

Now, the four of them are sitting in the imperial study, Li Shimin and Pei Lin say a few words, and Li Jiancheng takes care of Xu Shiji.

At this time, the door of the imperial study creaked open, and the four of them were busy tidying up their clothes and kneeling to the door to greet the king. However, there was no customary word "flat" by the door, but someone gradually laughed:

"Oops, I can't stand it, get up and get up!"
