Chapter 442: Ke Hodun's Bedchamber
Although Yuwen Panruo helped from the side, Yu Qingze and Changsun Sheng repeatedly told Sha Boluo about the benefits and trivialities, trying to persuade him to be a vassal to the Great Sui, but Sha Boluo refused to respond to the matter happily from beginning to end.

However, two days later, in the letter of state in which Sha Bolu replied to Yang Jian, the ancestor of the Sui Dynasty, which is said to have been drafted by Kehe Dunyu Wen Praruo himself, Sha Bolu not only stated that the Sui Dynasty and the Turks were friends of Weng and son-in-law, but also used extremely humble words in the national letter, using the words of foreign vassals for the first time, implicitly acquiescing in the relationship with the Sui Dynasty's subordinate monarchs and ministers. Of course, in this letter of state, Sha Boluo did not forget to tell Yuwen Praruo to ask the Sui Dynasty for a considerable amount of military funds, grain and other things. Even so, the results of such an envoy made Yu Qingze and Changsun Sheng very satisfied.
You know, only three or four years ago, the Turks still regarded themselves as the suzerainty of the Sui Dynasty, and slightly violated their requirements, that is, they waved their troops to the south and invaded on a large scale, and now, under the instigation of Yuwen Prajna, although Sha Boluo still asked the Sui Dynasty for all kinds of materials, he pleaded with the Great Sui Emperor for a generous reward as a junior and a subordinate, and this example will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the future diplomatic relations between the Sui Dynasty and the surrounding countries. Since the rise of the Turks, they have dominated the country for nearly a hundred years, and their great khan is still bowing to the emperor of the Chinese Dynasty for the first time in the world.
However, on the eve of the mission's return to Guannai, the Turkic Kehe Dunyuwen Praruo summoned An Ruoxi into her tent under the pretext of going to her tent to take her to the envoy to bring her back to Chang'an and to present it to the emperor and empress. Changsun Sheng was worried that Yuwen Praruo would secretly deceive her, so he took this opportunity to keep An Ruoxi by her side and insisted on accompanying An Ruoxi in person, but Yuwen Praruo sent to summon An Ruoxi's Turkic officials on the grounds that all adult men who entered except for the Great Khan himself would be executed.
An Ruoxi knew that Yuwen Praruo had bad intentions towards her, but Yuwen Praruo summoned her to the sleeping tent to receive the tribute for a high-sounding reason, so she couldn't refuse, so she had to follow the visitor to Ke Hodun's sleeping tent with her heart.
After An Ruoxi left, Changsun Sheng thought about it, and still felt that he couldn't let Yuwen Panruo leave An Ruoxi in Zihe Town so easily, and he had to try to rescue her and return to the pavilion safely, and take her out of Zihe Town early tomorrow morning, but he couldn't think of a foolproof plan for a while, and he successfully entered the Kehe Dun sleeping tent, and when he saw Yuwen Panruo, he forced her to put her back in An Ruoxi with both soft and hard measures, and was so anxious that she was restless in the pavilion, and kept pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
At this time, a post official came to report: There was a Turkic prince outside the pavilion who came to see his teacher.
When Changsun Sheng heard the news, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it: Dye Gan had been lurking in Chang'an for several months as a secret agent sent by Yuwen Panruo four years ago, and he must have heard of the intimate relationship between Yang Guang and An Ruoxi, so why not use him to send a message to Yuwen Panruo and ask her to return to An Ruoxi?
A few months ago, Dyegan led 50,000 Turkic troops to withdraw peacefully outside the pass by the method of withdrawing troops by separate routes, although he lost the 20,000 horses sent by him to go north from Bingzhou to join the Western Route Army, but afterwards he was still highly praised by Sha Boluo, who believed that he saved 50,000 horses for the Eastern Route Army at the critical juncture when he was alone in the pass, and his contribution was indispensable and commendable. After that, at the critical moment when the main force of the Sha Bolu tribe was defeated by the two khans in the west, he led his troops to fight bravely, helping Sha Bo Liu's father and son defeat the two khans and saving his tribe from annihilation, which made him regain the trust of Sha Bolu, and ordered him to take charge of the army with his cousin Yongyu Lu and serve as the chief general of the vanguard of the expedition to the west.
During the Sui Dynasty mission's mission to the Turks, Dye Gan was originally leading the army near Zihe Town to guard the Great Khan's tooth tent, because he heard yesterday that Sun Sheng, the head of the teacher, was also in the mission, so he hurried to the pavilion to meet the teacher with the permission of Yongyu Lu.
Under the guidance of the post officer, as soon as Dye Gan walked into the courtyard of the pavilion, he saw Sun Sheng, the head of the teacher, pacing back and forth in the courtyard alone, as if he had encountered some difficulty, until he walked to his side, bowed down and saluted, and said: "The apprentice Dye Gan greets the teacher." The eldest grandson Sheng suddenly came to his senses from deep thought, grabbed Dye Gan, and said with an anxious expression: "Prince Dye Gan, you came just in time." There was a certain matter that the prince came to his aid, so that the diplomatic relations between the Great Sui and the Turks would not deteriorate sharply due to the difference between Ke Hedun's thoughts, which would be very unfavorable to the Turks. ā
Hearing Changsun Sheng's words so serious, Dye Gan couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked Changsun Sheng: "Teacher, what happened to the end that would lead to such serious consequences?" ā
Changsun Sheng didn't invite Dye Gan into the house to speak, so he roughly told Dye Gan in the courtyard of the pavilion about the reason why Yuwen Praruo wanted to force An Ruoxi to serve by his side, and when he came, he said to Dye Gan with a solemn face: "Prince, you probably know that Miss An Ruoxi was originally the love of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and this time she was sent by the queen mother to come with the mission to envoy to the Turks. Before the mission set off from Bingzhou, His Royal Highness the King of Jin was worried that after Miss An and Ke He Dun met, Ke He Dun would be unfavorable to him, so he repeatedly told a certain girl to take more care of Miss An and be sure to take her back to Guannai safely. Therefore, the prince is asked to think of the great plan of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and try to ask Kohedun to let the girl return to the palace. ā
After hearing this, he frowned and thought about it, then looked up at the sky, rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "Now that the time has passed, the teacher does not know, after the fixed shift, no adult man is allowed to enter the tent of Ke Ho Dun, I can see Ke Ho Dun's face, and I have to wait until tomorrow dawn at the earliest." ā
"No, no." Eldest Sun Sheng waved his hand vigorously and said, "The mission is scheduled to leave from Zihe Town to return to Guannai tomorrow, if the prince of Dye Gan can't persuade Ke Hedun to change his mind, and Miss An is left in Zihe Town, how will I explain to His Royal Highness King Jin when I go back." We must not wait until tomorrow to see Ke Ho Dun again, and we must persuade Ke Ho Dun tonight to release Miss An Ruoxi. ā
"The teacher must also know that with the identity and status of Dyeing and Dry, even if he can meet Ke He Dun tonight, I am afraid that Ke He Dun will not be able to listen to the words of Dye Gan, and let Miss An return to the pavilion. Besides, if He Dun wants Miss An to go to her sleeping tent to get the tribute, maybe Miss An will come back in a while, so the teacher doesn't have to worry too much. ā
"Prince, as soon as tomorrow passes, Miss An can't return to Guannai with the mission, it's too late." Changsun Sheng was so anxious that he clapped his hands and shouted, "Since the prince said that Ke He Dun can't enter the tent, and what the prince says may not be able to listen to Ke He Dun, then please ask the prince to try to invite Ke He Dun outside the tent, and Changsun Sheng is willing to persuade Ke He Dun to release him in person, how about it?" ā
