Chapter 19: The Legend of the Wolf Totem

Li Su smiled: "Please take a seat." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After they sat down, Li Su handed each of them a cigarette. Cheng Chumo was very curious, so he took it. Li Dan gave it to him, he took a sip, choked him and coughed, and laughed evilly.

Changsun Chong was not in this mood, he didn't wait for them to laugh enough, and hurriedly asked, "King Liang, what can you do?" ”

Li Su said to Xiaocui and the other girls: "You guys go down first and call Yang Kang in." The girls left first.

After Yang Kang, the commander of the Liang Palace, came in, he bowed his hand and asked, "Lord, what do you command?" ”

Li Su said: "Yang Kang, you personally guard this door, and no one is allowed to approach. ”

"If (yes)." Yang Kang agreed and stepped back.

Li Su said to Changsun Chong and the others: "Everyone get closer, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential." Then he whispered about his plans.

Eldest Sun Chong and Cheng Chumo, at the beginning, when they saw him pretending to be mysterious, they despised him a little in their hearts, and they reluctantly listened to him live in vain with the idea of listening to it.

However, the more they listened, the more frightened they became, and when Li Su finished talking about his plan, everyone's eyes changed from the original indifference to more and more eagerness and admiration.

Li Yin's plan is complex and huge, and such a strange and well-thought-out plan may not be thought of by their parents, grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others.

When he finished talking about his plan, Changsun Chong stood up and made a big bow respectfully. He said: "Your Royal Highness King Liang, thank you, Chu Mo and I will act according to your plan. ”

Li Su said: "You sit down first, I still have something to say." This matter is to be kept in the utmost secrecy, and no one is allowed to know about it without my permission, remember, no one, including your parents.

This matter is very important, for the glory of Datang, and for the happiness of your eldest grandson Chong and my imperial sister Anning, I ask you to do this. ”

The eldest grandson Chong and Cheng Chumo swore to the sky that everything would be subject to King Liang's arrangement.

After he and Cheng Chumo left, Du He said: "Brother Su, why do you want to help the eldest grandson fat man, I am not happy to see him." ”

Li Su said: "You are stupid, I didn't help him, An Ning is my imperial sister, isn't it?" Besides, why did Hu Ren marry the princess of our Tang Dynasty? Don't you feel aggrieved? ”

Li Dan said: "Brother Su is right, Datang can't do such a humiliating thing. ”

Li Su said: "I swear, from today onwards, Datang will never get along." If you want to be married, it must be that they marry the princess. ”

Then, Li Su also assigned tasks to Li Dan and Du He.

After Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo returned, they immediately sent their cronies and galloped to the grassland.

Li Dan and Du He sent their cronies to the streets and streets of Chang'an to spread the news, and soon, a piece of news spread in an uproar.

The news was accompanied by a Tibetan poem:

The moon night of Wolf Mountain is full of snow, and the king stands on Yin Mountain with a sword. Suspicious clouds approached the desert, and appeared in the grassland on a sunny day.

In the hall of the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Yantuo, who was thin and had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, said to the Khan Yinan: "Great Khan, the minister heard a news, the legendary totem of the grassland has appeared, and it is a superb wolf king. ”

Yi Nan's eyes were gloomy and indifferent, but when he heard the news, he couldn't help but shine.

"Is the information reliable?" Yi Nan asked eagerly.

The so-called totem is that people in primitive times regarded a certain animal, plant or non-living thing as their relatives, ancestors or protectors. It is believed that Teng has a supernatural interior that will protect themselves and will also gain their powers and skills. In the eyes of primitive people, the totem was actually a personified object of worship.

The grassland people worship the wolf king, with the wolf king as their totem, which tribe has the wolf king as a symbol, it has a strong appeal on the grassland.

A long time ago, there was a legend that in the court of the Xiongnu during the Warring States Period, there was a statue of the wolf king, which was later lost and disappeared, but suddenly appeared again.

Po Tie said: "It should be credible, some people say that he saw the wolf king with his own eyes, according to his description, it is a tall I don't know what jade carving, translucent, the wolf king is domineering and mighty, very noble."

Moreover, the minister copied down the proverbs about the wolf king, and after careful consideration, the minister found the mystery in it. ”

Yi Nan Khan asked, "What mystery?" ”

"At this time, a Tibetan poem." Sticker said. After speaking, he handed the sheepskin in his hand to the Yi Nan Khan.

"Oh?" Yi Nan Khan took it. He had the world in mind, studied Han culture very early, and studied poetry quite a bit, and he soon saw the secret.

The beginning of the four lines of this poem is connected to the following: The wolf king returns.

The literal meaning of this poem is: the wolf king stands on the Yin Mountain, holding a sword, and clears the doubts of the grassland and the desert, revealing a clear and sunny day. It is clearly the meaning of commanding the grassland.

Yi Nan said with some concern: "You have to inquire carefully about the location of the Wolf King, and you can't let him fall into the hands of Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, let alone into the hands of other grassland tribes." Otherwise, it will be a great catastrophe. ”

His worries are very reasonable, take the grassland people as an example, there are dozens of tribes in the grassland and Mobei region, in addition to the currently unified and united tribes of Xue Yantuo, there are also powerful grassland tribes such as the Tuli tribe and the Hui tribe. Even the Western Turks believed in the wolf totem as they did.

If the wolf totem falls into the hands of Tuli and other tribes, they must use the appeal of the wolf totem to expand their power, and it is inevitable that there will be bloody rain on the grassland.

Even the tribal leaders who are now unified by Xue Yantuo may not really obey the rule of his Yinan Khan. If the wolf totem falls into their hands, it is inevitable that they will have different intentions.

"Yes, Great Khan, the minister will go and inquire about the news." He said respectfully, and then walked out of Yi Nan's room and instructed his subordinates to go around and inquire about the news.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin also heard the legend about the appearance of the wolf totem of the grassland people, and he discussed the matter with several ministers.

They are all poets, and it is easy to crack the hidden poems. The content of the poem also attracted their attention.

Fang Xuanling, a scholar of the Ministry of War, is good at planning, and he and the deceased former right servant Du Ruhui are called "Fang Mou Du Xuan". is said that Fang Xuanling is good at planning and can give Li Shimin ideas. His mind spins too fast, and often there are several ideas as soon as they come out, and Tang Taizong is not sure which one to adopt.

Du Ruhui would suggest that Tang Taizong choose one of the ideas based on his own judgment. It turns out that he chose the best.

At this time, Fang Xuanling was keenly aware that the legend of the Wolf King affected the situation of the entire grassland and would also have a significant impact on Datang.
