As a rare nobleman of the former Western Karakhanid State, Wahik's status is not at all special among the people from the Western Regions, but it is the lowest.

As a nobleman of the Western Qarakhanate, he had conflicts with the tribal leaders of the Eastern Qarakhanate, not to mention the tribal leaders of the Gaochang region with different beliefs. In the Western Regions of the Lu Qi Dynasty, the original three local forces, with Gaochang being the strongest, and the Eastern and Western Karakhanid Kingdoms have always been united to deal with it because of faith, but there are also deep-rooted contradictions between them, just like the original Wei, Shu and Wu Three Kingdoms.

Now the nobles of the Western Qarakhanid have almost collectively rebelled, and only three or two big cats and kittens remain on Lu Qi's side, as a political force, it no longer exists.

As a result, the few remaining nobles of the Western Karakhanid surrendered to the Eastern Karakhanid one after another, which was a real surrender.

Naturally, the Eastern Kara was willing to take in these people who were connected to their fate, but only Washik, the tribal leaders of the Eastern Kara, could be said to be withdrawn from it, treating it as a snake and scorpion.

Because this Vashik is a person with a "criminal record". He was a man of relents, a man who had been involved in the rebellion, but had voluntarily rebelled before the Battle of Talas.

Although the timing of the jump allowed him to escape the catastrophe of being settled by the Autumn Queen, this is a stain that cannot be clearly defined after all. He, like the AIDS people of later generations, was ostracized by the nobles of the old Qarakhanid.

Vahik himself was very nervous.

The stains on his body can't be washed away, and he is not the only nobleman left in the Western Karakhanid Kingdom, even if the Lu Qi Dynasty wants to buy horse bones, it is impossible to choose him.

But Vashik didn't think that Emperor Lu recruited him into Jinling to settle accounts and be stabbed. What a small figure is Tawahik? If the emperor of the Central Plains wants to kill him, why bother so much, when a password is issued, he can only be arrested and disposed of. Whether to die in the Western Regions, or to be escorted back to Jinling for beheading, is a matter of effort.

Therefore, Vashik also had great hopes for the audience with Emperor Lu this time, and he hoped that he would be able to 'wash away' the stain after this incident.

After all, he was the one who had met the emperor.

With such gains and losses, Wahik's back was soaked when he walked all the way to the Fengtian Hall.

It is also a shame that after they got up today, not only did they not eat, but they also drank water in moderation. This is to prevent them from losing their pre-trial etiquette.

Otherwise, the moment Vahik stepped into the Mukden Hall, he might have been in the air.

But now he suddenly heard Emperor Lu shout his name, and the voice from above, full of coercion, made the already nervous Wahikden nervous, and he could no longer support it. The whole person lay on the ground, and threw himself to the ground.

"Wahik, Guilty Minister, Knock on His Majesty the Emperor, long live my Emperor."

Although this man was of Uighur descent, unlike the Uighur nobility of Gaochang, almost no one in the Qarakhanid state, especially the tribal leaders of the Western Qarakhanid, could speak Chinese. This is still the Chinese that the nobles of the Western Karakhanid who were forced to bow their heads after Lu Qi's army marched westward were forced to learn.

The first word Washik could say was "China", and the first name he could say was "Wahik".

He spoke very stiffly, but he didn't know how many times he had practiced these words in his heart, and he spoke them smoothly.

"You rebelled and rebelled, but you were also deceived by traitors. Turning back to the shore and returning to the Celestial Empire is a move to conform to the destiny of heaven. I will welcome you with an open mind. Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good things are great, and those unpleasant things can be passed. I've always been generous. The voice on the dragon chair was still majestic, but it also carried a hint of kindness. Vahik, who was kneeling at the bottom, could not understand until the voice of the interpreter sounded, and when he heard it, his heart was hot, and he longed to be able to express his infinite gratitude.

The emperor spoke in person, this is a great kindness that he never imagined.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your past gratitude. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your past gratitude......"

"Hahaha, get up, get up." Looking at the column of air above Vashik's head, Emperor Lu's voice paused, and when it sounded again, there was a burst of joy.

The next step was just a passing motion, and each ministry presented its own congratulatory gifts, and then also received a reward from Emperor Lu. That is, silk, porcelain, etc., but they will not be given large sums of gold and silver.

Lu Qian is now taking them as the state of the great southwest, and the heads of various departments are made magistrates, and then send Hanchen to go deep into various places, little by little. Therefore, it is necessary to be gentle with these tribal leaders, especially those in the Eastern Qarakhanid.

They were also different from the various tribesmen in Gaochang, who had all changed from nomadic herding to a semi-fixed life, and agriculture occupied no less important position in their life than herding, and Lu Qi's rule over them was even more convenient. But in the territory of the Eastern Qarakhanids, the tribes whose main way of life is nomadism, you must go to Huairou.

Huairou doesn't blindly conform to them, but she must not rely on forceful means. These people are all Lu Qian's son's future subjects.

The tribal leaders of the Western Regions retreated from the Fengtian Hall one by one with joy, and the big stone in their hearts was finally put down. Although their crisis has not been completely resolved in the long run, it is the best outcome for now.

After retreating from the dynasty and returning to the Xuande Pavilion, Emperor Lu discussed this "investment" with his ministers.

Yes, this audience is an "investment" in Lu Qian's view.

Lu Qi's force has been 'recognized' by the natives of the Western Regions, and now it is necessary to use "Huairou" means to make them identify with China.

And no matter from that era, such a "Huairou" method is to send benefits. Isn't that just an investment?

Invest money now, and you will reap ten or a hundred times the wealth in the future.

But seeing that Song Jiang, who was already the secretary of the military department at this time, was the first to praise loudly: "Your Majesty is magnificent." Those natives of the Western Regions, from beginning to end, did not dare to raise their heads to peep at His Majesty's dragon face, which shows that those barbarians know the majesty of our dynasty. ”

"All the tribes in the Western Regions are small clans with weak strength. Compared with my Central Plains, it is as straight as a firefly compared to the bright moon. At present, there are even more figures from the former Western Qarakhanid as role models, and many of those who enter the Hajj today are people who have profited from the turmoil in the past, so how dare they disrespect our court? It's just that Yelu Dashi and the other three banners have already suppressed the previous rebellion, if you dare to make a mistake, my court army can crush an ant to death in an instant, so that he and his clan will disappear from this world forever. Lin Chong, who is the first person in the military, said proudly.

Although he has not been on the battlefield for a long time, he represents the military in the court. And the attitude of the military is undoubtedly super tough.

Just like Ma Heimu II before, after the alliance of the Celestials was wiped out, the entire former Western Qarakhanid Kingdom was shrouded in blood, and the swords, spears and iron hooves also stepped into the flower thorn Zimo.

The cabinet eventually accepted the surrender of the Xikala people, but in Lin Chong's view, there was no reason for the imperial court to accept the surrender of the Xikala people for the second time. It is necessary to sweep away all the nobles and their people there, and use a bloody scene to make those tribes in the great northwest understand that there is no good end to fighting against the superior country.

Even to organize a large army to go on a second expedition to the west, so that the Seljuks could understand how serious the consequences of provoking China were.
