At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was already the appointed time, and the person who Nao Sato was waiting for still did not appear.

Ten minutes later, a young man dressed as a peasant came to the stone monument outside the temple, looked around, and then sat down next to the stone monument to rest, his eyes still looking around.

Nao Sato judged that this person should have been sent by the Khan of Nuo Hao to fight the front station. So, he also sent one of his men to the trial.

Nao Sato saw that his subordinate walked over and talked to the man. Soon his men beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over.

The one who came to meet him was not Nuo Haobo Khan, but Tuyuhun's servant Herenpu, who was now also wearing the clothes of ordinary Tang Dynasty people. After meeting Nao Sato, the two walked deep into the dense forest.

About an hour later, Hellenp left first.

Soon, Nao Sato also walked out of the woods, took the horse led by his men, got on the horse and left.

The next morning, the merchant's mansion was still in the 14th square south of Chang'an City.

Nao Sato said: "Senior sister, Tuyuhun's servant Herenpu has agreed to our plan, and they will try to create an opportunity for us to assassinate the Tang Dynasty Dog Emperor before leaving Chang'an.

In addition, they asked us to try to contact the Unu in Persia (they don't call them that themselves, this book is collectively referred to as the Unu for the sake of readability), and if possible, to pull all or part of the 70,000 Unu to Tuyuhun. ”

Tomokako Hakutori said, "Promise them." ”

Nao Sato said: "This matter is impossible, those Japanese slaves have been allocated land, and they will not help the Tuyuhun people, even if some people agree to support us, but the officers of those temporary divisions are all Tang Dynasty people, and it is difficult to mobilize." ”

Bai Tori Zhikako said: "Then promise them, anyway, we are also using them temporarily, and after the assassination of the Dog Emperor, whether we continue to interact with them or not is not certain." ”

Nao Sato said, "Okay, I'll just reply to them. ”

Bai Bird Zhixiangzi said: "It's not convenient for me to come out usually, only in the morning when I am at work in the King of Shu, I can come out, and I can't come out every day."

In this way, I sent my maid Mitsuko to come over once a day, and she would deliver the news. ”

Tai Chi Hall, Li Su's office.

Wei Zheng asked, "Your Majesty, hasn't Tuyuhun Khan agreed yet?" ”

Li Su said: "I haven't mentioned this matter to him yet, but he is a smart person, and I believe that he will take the initiative to raise it soon." ”

As he was talking, news came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that Tuyuhun Khan Nuo Hao Bo asked to see him.

Li Su smiled: "Cao Cao Cao is here, he should be here to talk about it." ”

After saying that, he commanded, "Please come in, the Khan of the Gregory." ”

Sure enough, after the greetings, Nuo Haobo Khan said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty has developed rapidly and thrived over the years, and the minister's Tuyuhun is really backward.

The minister has a request, please allow Tuyuhun to officially join the Tang Dynasty, so that the minister will also officially become your people. ”

Li Su was not polite, he said: "It is imperative for the Tang Dynasty to unify the world. Tuyuhun is located on the plateau, it is relatively difficult to develop the economy independently, after joining the Tang Dynasty, it has a positive significance for the development of the region's economy and the improvement of people's living conditions.

As the Khan of Tuyuhun, your attitude is commendable. For you personally, the court will not treat you badly.

I decided to establish an autonomous region in the Tuyuhun region, with jurisdiction over the four prefectures of Qinghai, Ning, Fu, and Gui, and canonized you as the king of Qinghai County, and concurrently served as the Tuyuhun Inspector. ”

"Chen Nuo and thank the emperor for his grace." Noho said.

Li Su smiled and said: "You're welcome, you are my friend, I have prepared a county palace for you in Chang'an, you can come and live for a period of time every year and chat with me." When we're all old, let's be a companion together. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Nuo Haobo said gratefully.

After Nuo Haobo left, Wei Zheng, Hou Junji, Huang Furui, and Cen Wenwen all congratulated Li Yu.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, ten years ago, when you were still King of Liang, the Tang Dynasty was still in a state of internal and external troubles.

Over the years, Datang has undergone earth-shaking changes in its internal stability, economy, culture and society, and its national strength has increased more than several times.

Goguryeo, the Japanese archipelago, Silla, Baekje, Linyi, the Persian Empire's Ontara Province, Ryukyu, and the current Tuyuhun were all incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

These achievements have already far surpassed the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, which is really gratifying. ”

Hou Junji said: "The emperor has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's ability to achieve such achievements. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Li Su said: "The credit for this matter cannot be attributed to me, to be honest, it is you, the capable ministers, the virtuous ministers, who assisted the former emperor Taizong and created the prosperous era of Zhenguan's rule."

I'm just building on the solid foundation laid by my predecessors. ”

Speaking of this, Li Su thought of his father Li Shimin, and couldn't help but feel sad, he fell silent, feeling nostalgic for the good old days with Li Shimin.

Everyone present was an old minister of Li Shimin's era, and Li Su's words aroused their same emotion. For a moment, there was silence in the office.

After a long time, Li Su said: "Mount Tai Feng Zen is the wish of the first emperor Taizong, but it is a pity that his old man was not able to realize this wish in person.

My opinion is that after the New Year, on the day when the second dragon raised its head in February, the Empress Dowager presided over the Taishan Zen Celebration was held, which fulfilled the wish of Emperor Taizong and his old man. ”

Wei Zheng said: "With all due respect, the so-called Mount Tai Feng Zen, no matter how many times it has been held in previous dynasties, it can't change the fate of their destruction. This matter has no practical significance, and it is purely a waste of labor and money.

Chen believes that it is better to waste so much money and do meaningless things than to set up more schools and build more hospitals.

The ministers objected to the emperor's opinion. ”

Hou Junji said: "Lord Shoufu (Wei Zheng is the chief prime minister of the Government Council), you can't say that. The emperor's meaning is to fulfill a wish of Emperor Taizong. This cannot be measured in terms of the economy.

The minister agreed with the emperor's opinion. ”

Huang Furui said: "Lord Wei, Taishan Fengzen was originally operated by King Wei, and all the money that should be spent has been spent, and the preparations are almost complete. Even if you need to invest more, it won't cost much.

I rule the country, filial piety first, the emperor's proposal, is to do filial piety to Emperor Taizong, but also to set an example for the subjects of the world, in this sense, the minister believes that should be held Mount Tai Feng Zen activities. ”

Li Su said: "This matter has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it anymore. ”

Lizheng Palace.

"Emperor, if you have this heart, I will be satisfied." After listening to Li Su's decision, the Empress Dowager Changsun said with tears in her eyes.
