Chapter 55: Khan mows the grass

Changsun Sheng stood on the side of the road outside the big tent, very angry in his heart. This time, Emperor Yang of Sui toured Yulin in the north, and sent Changsun Sheng to Qimin Khan in advance, and Changsun Sheng was equivalent to the liaison between the two sides. I talked with Gao Shilian all night last night, and Gao Shilian scrutinized the mystery over and over again, and Changsun Sheng understood what Gao Gong, Pei Ju, and Princess Yicheng were doing without it, and only then did he know that Qimin Khan was not as obedient as he appeared.

Gao Shilian's opinion is very pertinent, since Princess Yicheng married to the Turks, many things cannot be blindly considered for the Great Sui, and sometimes she must stand on the side of the Turks, which is the way to make long-term profits for the Great Sui; If everything has to be considered by Princess Yicheng for the Great Sui, it will be difficult for a strong man, and the purpose of making peace with relatives will be counterproductive. The problem lies with Pei Ju and Gao Gong, who, through their own subordinates, have established another way of contact with the Eastern Turk high-level to mislead Princess Yicheng and be used by the other party.

The soldiers reminded him, and from afar, the Khan of Qimin came with the khan chieftains of dozens of tribes such as Xi and Murowei, ready to greet Emperor Yang Guang of Sui with Changsun Sheng. Changsun Sheng looked sideways at the roadside overgrown with weeds, although it was verdant, but the height was not the same; Changsun Sheng suddenly thought of a way to suppress the Qimin Khan, and after stepping forward to salute the Qimin Khan, he pointed to the grass and said, "This grass root has a fragrance. ”

Qimin Khan has been outside the Saiwai for a long time, and he is a nomadic people, and he is most familiar with the situation on the grassland, and he does not believe that weeds will have a grass fragrance at all, so he stepped forward and picked up a plant and said after smelling it: "Lord Changsun said that he laughed, this grass is not fragrant at all." ”

The eldest grandson Sheng took a step forward, approached the Qimin Khan, and whispered: "Where the Son of Heaven is lucky, the princes bow down and sweep the royal road to show their respect." Today's teeth are filthy, and it is said to be a vanilla ear! ”

Only then did the Qimin Khan understand the original intention of Changsun Sheng, the key was that the princes bowed down and sprinkled the sweep, and the Qimin Khan thought of the news he received last night, and said crampedly: "The villain is guilty." The flesh and blood of the villain are all given by the Son of Heaven, and if there is an opportunity to repay today, how dare you resign? It's all because the villain is a person outside the Seychelles and doesn't know the etiquette procedures, but fortunately, the general is not stingy to give advice. The great kindness of the general is really the honor of the villain, and it will be repaid in the future. ”

Qimin Khan immediately drew his saber and personally leaned over to weed; The rest of the khans and chieftains were nominally subordinates of Qimin Khan and Emperor Yang of Sui, and when they saw this scene, how dare they fall behind, they all drew their swords and stepped forward, competing to weed. When Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, arrived, he really knew a way to come, Yang Guang listened to the report, laughed, invited the Qimin Khan to enter the account together, and asked the khans to send people back, gather the officials who came with them, and enter the account together to rejoice.

The big tent fully accommodated more than 3,500 people, which surprised the Khan of Qimin a lot, and he suddenly hid his ambition; Du Jishi and Tong Lifu followed behind the Khan of the people and looked around, excited, the Central Plains was indeed rich. Looking at the honor guard and demeanor of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Du Jishi secretly swore that he must work hard, lead the Turks to rise, and one day, enter the Central Plains; Liverford was thinking, if I were so beautiful, I would be willing to die.

Qimin Khan didn't know what was going on with his two sons, so he took the wine and knelt down, and toasted Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui, and said: "The sage first emperor has mercy on his ministers, and he lives to support him, and sends his ministers to be the great khan; The supreme support the ministers and the Turkic people, there is no shortage of shortcomings. If the Supreme agrees, the minister begs to use the Great Sui costume law, and is willing to lead the entire Turkic tribe to join the Central Plains. ”

Everyone was caught off guard, Qimin Khan and Princess Yicheng came to the court this time and brought 3,000 good horses as gifts, Du Jishi and Tong Lifu were not very happy, but they didn't expect their father to be so confused that they wanted to merge the Eastern Turks into the Great Sui. The khans and chieftains of the Xi, Murowei and other tribes are all blinded, and you Qimin Khan said this, what should we do? If you say the wrong thing, it is the result of waiting for the Sui army to kill.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and a group of important ministers also couldn't believe it, it was good to win without a fight, but it was impossible to distinguish whether it was the personal opinion of the Qimin Khan or the decision of the Turkic tent as a whole. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty looked at Changsun Sheng and Pei Ju, and saw that neither of them squeaked, so he had to say: "Yixia Shufeng, the gentleman teaches the people, does not seek to change the customs, and now the north is not quiet, and it is still necessary to fight, as long as the Turks are sincere to my Great Sui, why bother to change." ”

Yang Guang immediately issued an order to give Qimin Khan a personal road car, horse, propaganda, banners, praise and worship, plus 12,000 satins, and another 200,000 satins to the Eastern Turks and various tribes. After thanking the Khan of Qimin, he got up and said: "The minister is willing to use the power of the country to act as a messenger and open a royal road with a width of 100 steps for the Supreme, starting from Yulin in the west and reaching Yuji in the east. ”

Yulin to Jizhou is about 3,000 miles long, and it is impossible to build such a road without 200,000 migrant workers, and the Khan of Qimin is indeed a big deal, and the smile that just flashed on the Khan chieftain of the Xi, Xia, and Murowei tribes condensed on his face. The Turks have the power of the country, how can the Turks be out, and in the end, it is not to transfer the servants to the heads of the tribes, and the Turks will reap the benefits of the Great Sui while weakening the strength of the tribes. Duan Wenzhen, Mai Tiezhu and others also thought that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty could take this road several times, but once this road was completed, the Turkic iron cavalry would be able to quickly mobilize troops, and the Great Sui would be unable to defend against it.

Before everyone had time to speak, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was happy, and he had already written a poem: "Lusaihong Banner is stationed, and Longting Cui is back." The felt tent looks at the wind, and the dome opens to the sun. Hu Han suddenly arrived, and Tu Qi came one after another. Braided meat, Wei Yu presented a wine glass. He is like the son of Han Tianzi, who is on the empty platform. “

There was a burst of applause in the big tent, and anyone who said that it was out of place if they were to spoil the scenery. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty gave Qimin Khan and Princess Yicheng a golden urn each, as well as clothes and bedding, and the Turkic special services were rewarded. Yang Chong has been standing in the tent, seeing the whole process clearly, and he has to admire, none of these emperors are given for nothing, all of them are actor-level figures; On the contrary, it is the Ji Shi and Tong Liv, who are still young, and they look ugly on their faces, so they don't need to worry too much.

Duan Wenzhen was still entangled when he returned to the military department, and Yang Chong persuaded: "Building a road itself consumes Turkic national strength, and who can use this road does not depend on whose fists are hard." I see that the face of the Khan of Qimin is not very good, so why don't I make it clear to the Holy Son of Heaven and arrange for an imperial doctor to take a look. ”

Duan Wenzhen was annoyed when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, when he suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Yang Chong with wide eyes, and saw that Yang Chong's eyes were still as clear as water, he shook his head and said: "I really don't know what kind of person you are, this official is going to see the Holy Son of Heaven, what other ghost ideas do you have, just say." ”

Yang Chong asked, "Can I make some articles in the Xi, Xia, Murowei and other tribes first?" ”

Yes, of course. Duan Wenzhen and Yang Guang both agreed that Yang Chong tried his hand at a small time, no matter how small the Xi, Xia, and Murowei tribes were, they were also a tribe, and no matter how small the mosquito was, it was also meat.
