Chapter 285: Jieli's court
The psychology of gamblers is the most complicated, from the beginning Qin Ze just wanted to return to Chang'an alive, but now he gambled his life.
Tang Jian was supported by his protégé, although he still walked a little shaky, but his eyes were full of clarity.
"Commander, did the kid surnamed Liu promise to wait with me to return to Chang'an?" Pan Sheng took off his robe and put it on Tang Gong, holding his hand and said.
Tang Jian shook his head, sighed a little helplessly and said: "A good bird chooses a tree to perch, his wings are already full, he can't give up his honor, how can he go back to Chang'an with us?" ”
As soon as Tang Jian's words came out, Pan Sheng and Zhai Xun both turned around and glared angrily.
"I don't know where this person came from, but he has such knowledge. His mind, strategy, and skill are all excellent, but his character is extremely filthy. With the blood of the Tang Dynasty, he is so cheap, he has entered this barbarian land, and he is willing to work for it, how can he be worthy of his ancestral hall? ”
Zhai Xun was also indignant, this time his teacher personally went out, and he must have promised him many benefits. is not even tempted by this, which can only show that this person has completely abandoned the dignity of being a Tang person.
Tang Jian tightened his clothes, a fine light shot out of his eyes, and his voice was also a little indignant: "The disadvantage of the Turks lies in the severe cold, but now the skills of floor heating and the skillful use of coal have long been avoided. If you wait until this son cultivates Bai Diezi, then my Datang will be completely helpless, and it is better to leave the sword of the old man than this. ”
Tang Jian clenched his fists, and said with a somewhat gloomy gaze, in this land of wind and snow, it looked even more cold......
The cold wind blew all the way, and one last pushed away the priest's tent, and the other pushed away Jieli's tent.
The priest was still sitting at the table, drumstick in hand. Today, Tang Jian was able to enter Qin Ze's tent, and it was not a test for him to Qin Ze.
Now the result of the temptation is about to come out, but I don't know if Qin Ze can survive this time.
A white-clad figure appeared behind the priest, hunched over to convey everything he heard.
"That's what they said when they left?" The priest was also a little surprised, he didn't expect things to go to this place. What does it mean that two people can still fight each other?
Not only that, but the two of them had a few words of conversation at the end. At the banquet, they only talked about food, but in the end, Tang Gong said something else. "The man in white is hunched, and if you look closely, you can see that he is constantly adjusting his body to keep himself in the shadows.
"What did you say?" The priest suddenly became curious about this, he was very confident in the night ghost. Even Jieli's guards couldn't catch him, and this time he sent out two groups of people.
Needless to say, it was naturally discovered along the way, but the night ghost was impossible to find, and the news he got from hiding in the shadows was the most real.
"Tang Gong may want to do it."
"Interesting." The priest suddenly laughed, and he was not only curious in his heart that Qin Ze could really continue to endure it. Such a good opportunity, if Qin Ze was willing, Tang Jian might really be able to take him out as an envoy, but now......
It was not only the priest who also got the news, but Jieli was also sitting on a stool listening to his subordinates' reply.
The priest has two hands to prepare, and the Jie Li has two hands to prepare. The reason why he did this suddenly was entirely because just today, Xue Yantuo sent someone to send a document, saying that Li Shimin had specially approved Yi Nan as Xue Yantuo's true pearl Viga Khan.
Jieli knew what this meant, originally Xue Yantuo was a thorn in Jieli's throat, but now this thorn had become more and more uncomfortable for him. The last time Xue Yantuo was sent to Xue Yantuo, it was declared a failure because of the matter in Lingzhou. If you give them some more time, you may not know how far it will go.
At this time, Qin Ze's identity was brought up again. Although Jieli didn't doubt Qin Ze's identity very much, it was not bad to take this opportunity to test it. If Qin Ze can pass this hurdle, Jieli doesn't mind letting him participate in state affairs and make suggestions.
"Sword?"
Jieli was also stunned, and he also knew something about Tang Jian. Therefore, when he heard Tang Jian say that he wanted to drop the sword, he instantly understood that this meant that he was going to attack Qin Ze.
"Khan, the Tang people have always been cunning, and it is inevitable that they do not deliberately confuse you and me. And this Tang Jian is also known for his deceit, when Tang destroyed Liu Wuzhou in the past, it was this person who made suggestions later. I even heard that this son was captured by Liu Wuzhou, but he was able to find out the information that Dugu Huaien was going to rebel from prison. A letter directly made Lonely Wynne's years of hard work go to waste. So the Khan must not be gullible! ”
Ga Na Shu'er, as Jieli's most valued minister, is just like Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the weight in the words is not light.
Hearing him say this, Jieli's brows furrowed even deeper. He is suspicious by nature, so naturally he is not as suspicious as Li Er. If it weren't for Qin Ze's intelligence, he would definitely not have put such effort into him.
According to the original idea, if Qin Ze hadn't proposed the matter of floor heating, I am afraid that it would have been on the ground long ago.
But now Jieli is more and more reluctant, and the severe cold of the grassland has always been a big mountain on him. Especially in recent years, the weather in the grassland has become worse and worse, and this year there was even a snowstorm. Now all the roads are damaged, so Jieli can't do anything if he wants to know his losses.
However, if you only use the Ashina tribe, the people who froze to death this year may be less than one thousandth of what they did in previous years. And all of this is Qin Ze's credit.
He knows better than anyone else the importance of herders, as long as there are them, there will be a steady stream of male lions.
Especially now that the appearance of Bai Diezi has made Jieli see the possibility of completely defeating the cold. Imagine your own people wearing cotton robes and walking in the ice and snow.
Just wait until next spring to plant the seeds. Jieli's wish will come true, and the nightmare of not fighting in winter on the grassland will be completely ended.
So Qin Ze is really important, so important that as long as he can use it for himself, Jieli can not pursue his true identity.
loyalty, he only needs this......
"The heavy snow has stopped, and the Tang envoy should be leaving. If this son is persuaded by Tang Jian in the meantime, he will return to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, even if Tang Jian's sword didn't fall, our sword would fall. That's the last thing I want to see. Speaking of this, Jieli's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said as if he was making some major decision: "Announce him in five days and come to discuss Xue Yantuo's matter." ”
Qin Ze himself didn't know if he was doing the right thing this time. But he didn't have a choice, and the cake he painted for Jieli was getting bigger and bigger, and the amount of bait he needed to spill naturally also increased. You must know that what he catches is not an ordinary fish, but a fish that has been transformed into a dragon in water. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you will be directly hit by the head.
This is the essence of the emperor, not allowing anything to exceed his expectations, and if there is, then directly obliterate it.
Therefore, never challenge the patience of an emperor, whether it is Li Er or Jieli, if you can't reflect your own value, don't expect to be able to rise to the top.
And Qin Ze has never thought of rising to the top, his goal has always been to be a gentleman on Chang'an Street, of course, the premise of all this is to be able to live......
The envoy sent by Jieli urged him outside again, and he clearly said that the state meeting would start at the right time, but the envoy arrived in front of Qin Ze's tent at the time of Chen.
The days are short in winter, so the moon still hangs proudly in the sky, and the snow on the earth reflects the moonlight, which is particularly cold.
Qin Ze didn't want to get up, anyway, there was still an hour, and he could climb there, so why didn't he wait a while. Besides, he discussed with Impermanence last night until the middle of the night, and he was so sleepy at this time.
Qin Ze didn't scream, but Qiuqiu and Xiaoxiao ran over. Of course, Qin Ze didn't let them warm their beds, so he let them sleep next to their tents. Now that he heard the envoy shouting, he was afraid that his lord would collide with the envoy, so he also came over responsibly to pull Qin Ze.
In this way, there was no sleep, the two little girls were chattering, and Qin Ze had to reluctantly respond outside.
Sitting there in a daze, let the two girls comb their hair. With this kind of Turkic pigtail, Qin Ze doesn't have that ability.
Xiao Xiao stood aside and took out the tooth talisman that had been covered hot from his arms and handed it to Qin Ze, this thing must be kept close to him, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the Khan. Qin Ze took it and put it in his arms, and he could still feel warm, and he patted his little head at the moment.
These two little girls are one steady, the other is careful, and they are indeed good at serving people.
Qiuqiu called hot water to wash Qin Ze's face, but Qin Ze refused. He needed to wake up now, so he went straight out of the tent and grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed it against his face.
The biting cold directly made Qin Ze's sleepiness disappear, and then he followed behind the envoy and walked towards Jieli's bedroom.
Because a few days ago, the Suyi Chamber of Commerce opened the road from the Watur Grassland to the Hannar Grassland, so Qin Ze and the others didn't have to trek in the snow, and they arrived at their destination along this road.
Nomads do not have a fixed place to live, not even in Jieli. This is the same as the emperor of the Central Plains who can't live with a concubine all the time, because he is afraid of being assassinated.
Huge domed tents, almost two feet in diameter. This is where Jieli deals with state affairs on weekdays, and it was still early when Qin Ze came, but it was already full of people standing inside.
Although Jieli didn't want to admit it, the Turks were learning the management methods of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, these so-called ministers are just rough men on horseback, and it is impossible for them to stand still.
Therefore, the Turkic court is more like a rally, as lively as a market. However, they also learned the habits of the Tang people and separated the civil and military attachés, but most of the civil officials were not military attachés.
Ashina Yuge and the Nine Surnames Yuge, this is the Turkic civil official system. Nine of them, surnamed Yuge, had no right to speak, and could only speak if the Khan asked. Sometimes when civil officials and military attachés are arguing, military attachés will directly rush up and catch a nine-surnamed pardon is a beating.
Therefore, the nine surnames are pardoned, to put it bluntly, they are outsiders, and it is of course very good for outsiders to use them as punching bags.
