Chapter 411 The feast is held, but it is to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys

When people negotiated prisoners of war with Tubo in the former royal city of Tuyuhun, some Min nobles felt heavy pressure. The khan is not in the interests of all the nobles and can launch a political change, but if the strength of this clan is not lost, it is useless to exchange a hundred and a thousand khans.

As a border tribe, what I hope for most is that the Central Plains can fish in troubled waters due to civil strife, and what I am most afraid of is that the Central Plains is too strong and attacks every year. In the past, Tuyuhun had invaded in the time of Emperor Taizong, and after a series of big battles, the national strength of the original twilight Xishan was exhausted, although Nuobo later married Princess Honghua and became the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, but this day is still not good.

Sandwiched between the two powerful countries of Tubo and Datang, can this life be better?

If the two powers are in a difficult situation, they can still rely on whoever is strong, but their lord Nohobo does not have this skill, and the rest of the tribe does not have this skill. Today's situation is even more Tubo and Tuyuhun together are still defeated under the hands of the Tang Dynasty, what else to talk about?

On this day, Li Xian, who had not had time to show up for a long time, held an unprecedented grand banquet and invited all the Tuyuhun nobles who were here. After receiving such an invitation, no one dared to slack off, especially Su Du Lu, who had been neglected for a long time, was even more excited, hurriedly changed into his best clothes and accessories, and rushed to the banquet early in the morning.

However, if the two of them are in a hurry, others will not be left behind. Su Du and Lu were dumbfounded as soon as they arrived at the palace, and they saw that they were densely packed with costumed nobles, not to mention a hundred and eighty people, even when their father was a nobleman in the king's tent. There has never been such a spectacular scene. And the two of them though are princes. But there were many people who didn't know each other, and after some discussion in the crowd, a few nobles who were familiar with the two brothers came up to talk.

A well-informed Tuyuhun nobleman looked around. He approached Su Du and Lu and whispered: "Two princes, I heard that Su Lu Mo was canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and now he is a general?" ”

It's okay not to talk about it, but as soon as they said it, Su Du and Lu brothers immediately remembered Li Xian's murderous words before, and couldn't help but shudder. However. Because they are the sons of the eldest princess of Honghua, they have been pampered since they were children, and after a moment of fear, violence suddenly gained the upper hand.

"Mother is really crazy, she actually introduced that cheap breed to King Yong, don't you know that raising tigers is a problem!"

glanced at the elder brother next to him: "Big brother, you are still just a general who is a leader of the left army." You've got to take it easy, don't let that end up getting past you! ”

Su Du's temperament was much more gloomy than Lu's, and he just snorted coldly at the moment, and did not speak ill of him. looked at the nobles who were hugging each other in twos and threes. Looking at the few people around his two brothers, he felt more and more a heavy pressure. The position of Khan of his father's Nuo Hao bowl was held by the Tang Dynasty. And for it, if there is no support from Datang, even if he becomes a khan, he will have to look at people's eyes, and besides, where is Lu's younger brother a fuel-efficient lamp?

"His Royal Highness King Yong has come out!"

I don't know who shouted, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the gate of the palace, and when they saw Li Xian wearing a purple robe Shi Shiran walking out, he immediately made a mess of it, and bowed unevenly, and finally quieted down. After Li Xian said a few words about the scene, he turned around and went in, and a group of attendants were in charge of guiding the way. At this time, everyone saw clearly that among the attendants, there was also a young man wearing a light brown official uniform.

"It's that!"

].: a few words. At this time, he hit Su Du hard with his elbow, and immediately reminded in a low voice: "Big brother, the two of us are at least one mother, if someone else robs us of the position of Khan, we will only have a dead end!" ”

The brothers' whispers made the three or four henchmen around them frown, and one of the older ones wanted to scold them for being short-sighted, but finally swallowed the words. The two brothers are more ambitious than their Lao Tzu, but at the same time, they are also stubborn and can't listen to other people's opinions at all.

As a result, the two brothers and the group of people around them dragged on until the end before entering the palace, avoiding the opportunity to meet Murong Fu directly.

The banquet hall has long been arranged according to the status of the position, this palace was originally a building more than a hundred years ago, although this time to rest for a while, but it is still not as good as the mansion of a wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not possible to pay attention to it. As for the dishes, they are mainly all kinds of meat, from roast whole sheep and roast beef to all kinds of bird meat and fish, but there are no vegetable leaves in sight - in this kind of place, even wild vegetables are also expensive, and Li Xian naturally will not take them out to entertain these guests.

Today's Tuyuhun is no longer the one who blindly imitates the Han people

There are Shangshu and Langzhong era, although it is a nobleman, but it is only a large piece of wine, so Li Xian took out a large number of four toasts, and immediately won the full favor of everyone. Of course, even if he can't hold on, there is Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan next to him, and even Murong Fu can pull it up.

The master has something to do with the disciples, this is what the sage said.

With three points of drunkenness, he stood up happily, and said in a loud voice: "This time Tubo invaded Tuguhun, my father's benevolent heart ordered me and General Qibi to lead troops to help, fortunately Providence won a great victory, relieved the siege of Tuyuhun, not only successfully recovered the north of Fuqi City and Jishi Mountain, but also won countless victories!" ”

With the sharp spirit after the great victory, he naturally said this loudly, and at this time, those nobles who had helped Tubo resist the Tang Dynasty shrank down slightly, or simply lowered their heads.

"Among all of you who are here today, there are heroes who once fought against Tibet, there are also those who were forced to take refuge in Tibet, and there are those who shamelessly helped Tibet attack their homeland!"

Li Xian raised his voice violently, and slammed the cup to the ground, and the crisp sound seemed to sound in everyone's hearts, which actually made many people tremble. Although the two brothers Su Du and Lu had no ghosts in their hearts on this matter, they also thought of the panic when they fled north in embarrassment, and gradually took back the gaze that was originally staring at Murong Fu.

"I once said that I am not to blame for the past, and I have released a large number of prisoners to fulfill my promise, and I will not settle old accounts with everyone." Li Xian's stiff face suddenly softened, and a kind and cordial smile appeared, "I also understand everyone's difficulties, Tubo is powerful, and everyone is worried that I can't take care of the east and the west, which is normal." As long as you are at ease for my Datang domain, let the past things pass. ”

That thoughtful words made the Tuyuhun nobles who had just been frightened breathe a sigh of relief, and many people even secretly drank a small sip of wine to suppress the shock. However, before the frightening momentum had passed, I suddenly heard the word loud again.

"But!"

"But at a time like this, there are still people who dare to make eye contact with the Tibetan people, express loyalty and promise, and even harbor Tibetan spies! Is it tolerable or unbearable! Li Xian slammed the table, his face showing anger, "I don't like to kill people, but since someone is openly provocative, I also want to be this good man all the time!" Come on, drag someone up for me! ”

Almost instinctively, everyone glanced at the door, only to see two guards dragging down a man tied up like a rice dumpling and stuffing a rag in his mouth. I saw that under the hemp rope was a dress that had come to the banquet, and it was obvious that this person was also an invited nobleman, and many nobles who knew this person gasped, and some even screamed.

"It's expensive!"

Listening to the exclamations one after another, Li Xian felt very satisfied. Those diehards who are still in detention are not mentioned for the time being, but this guy named Jiegui is the most cunning, and after being captured, he frequently showed his loyalty to the Tang army, and even took the initiative to stay in Shudun City. If it weren't for someone reporting and exposing him as the in-law of Su Hegui who failed to go to Tibet in the past, and finding out under the surveillance of the Tang Army that this person was still secretly communicating with Tibet, he might have raised a disaster.

"Everybody knows him, it's good! Although the Khan of Nohobo is not there, when I sent the Khan and Hodun back to the city, your Khan lent me his golden sword, and many of you should have seen it! ”

Li Xian took the golden knife from Murong Fu's hand, pulled the knife out of its sheath with a bang, and gently stroked his fingers on the blade, and gradually showed a smile: "First I promised you in private, today I will use this golden knife, under the witness of the gods of heaven and earth, and swear to you, as long as you can be loyal to my Datang, loyal to your khan, do not disturb my Datang border, and do not do anything to Tibet, then the previous things will not be blamed!" ”

Speaking of this, Su Du was the first to stand up and echo, Lu Yi followed, and then, those nobles immediately scrambled to stand up - most of these people were released from the Tuyuhun captives of the Tang Dynasty, and the most feared thing was that Li Xian's private promise would not count, and now when he heard that he was really not to blame for the past, the biggest stone landed on the ground.

And when the crowd was quiet, Li Xian pointed at the knot with a golden knife, and said word by word: "Come on, behead this person in court, and hang his head outside Shudun City to set an example!" ”

As soon as the words fell, under the horrified gaze of everyone, Sheng Yunwen, who was dressed in military uniform, hurriedly came up, cut off the head of the nobleman with a knife in his hand, and immediately bent down slightly to salute with the head that was still dripping blood, and then strode out. At this time, looking at the headless corpse, a timid nobleman finally fainted in fright.
