Chapter 1183: Jiucheng Palace Assassinated

Li Shimin was assassinated in Jiucheng Palace! As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked, and Li Xiu was also shocked at first, but then news came that Li Shimin was not injured, and the assassin had been caught, which made Li Xiu feel at ease, and after a few days, more detailed news came, and the outside world knew the truth about Li Shimin's assassination.

Speaking of which, the reason behind Li Shimin's assassination this time is quite simple, and there is no deeper conspiracy, and the person who assassinated Li Shimin, Li Xiu, still knows him, this person is a Turkic person, named Association Rate, that is, Tuli's younger brother, Li Xiu's son Li Jin, and once had a conflict with the other party, the result is that the Association Rate was demoted to civilians, but Li Jin and others had nothing to do.

Originally, after the association rate was degraded, it was impossible to have any capital to make waves, but Tuli died suddenly two years ago, which made Li Shimin also a little sad, speaking of which he and Tuli were once sworn brothers, and Tuli was a few years younger than him, but he died early, which made Li Shimin also feel the impermanence of life and death.

Tuli died, according to the custom, Li Shimin also gave his family some rewards to show comfort, among which the association rate had been degraded to a civilian, but Li Shimin looked at the face of the dead Tuli, and finally not only took Tuli's son He Luohu as his personal guard, but also restored the association rate to an official position, holding a small position in the forbidden army.

But what Li Shimin didn't expect was that the association rate was a two hundred and five, and he was demoted to the people by Li Shimin before, and he always had resentment in his heart, but he had never had the opportunity to retaliate before, but this time Li Shimin went to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer, and he happened to go with him, which made him finally find an opportunity.

One dark and windy night, the association first found his nephew He Luohu to drink, He Luohu is Li Shimin's personal guard, often accompanied by Li Shimin's side, in fact, Li Shimin's personal guards are all from official eunuch families, and the requirements for origin are also extremely strict, originally He Luohu is a Turkic, it is impossible to serve as a personal guard, but later Li Shimin saw the face of the dead Turk, so he exceptionally promoted He Luohu to serve as a personal guard.

The association first drunk He Luohu, and took out the dormitory where Li Shimin lived from his mouth, and then wrapped He Luohu and organized dozens of people to rush to Li Shimin's dormitory, wanting to kill Li Shimin to vent his hatred.

Of course, this kind of brainless thing is estimated to only be done by the association rate of two hundred and five, dozens of Turks did not wait to rush to Li Shimin's dormitory, they were wiped out by the guards of Jiucheng Palace, the association rate saw that the situation was not good, immediately threw down He Luohu and turned around and fled, as a result, He Luohu was captured, and he was also shot by the Tang army after escaping not far away.

It can be said that the whole assassination process is a farce, but this farce has caused a greater crisis, because the mastermind of this assassination is Turkic, and now there are two parts of the Turks within the Tang Dynasty, most of which are imprisoned by Zhao Deyan in Hongzhou, called Neiqian, which is actually a slave to open up the wasteland, and the Turkic population in Hongzhou has not increased but decreased in the past few years, and now it is less than 200,000.

In addition to the Turks in Hongzhou, there are also some Turks who saw the opportunity quickly and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty early, which is represented by the Turks, the number of these Turks is not much, and the total is only about tens of thousands, and most of them were placed by Li Shimin in Guanzhong, Henan and other places to live with the Han people, it is estimated that it will not be long before these people will be completely assimilated.

However, the farce of the association rate has brought a huge crisis to the tens of thousands of Turks outside Hongzhou, because many people think that the assassination of the association rate represents that the Tang Dynasty is too tolerant of the remaining Turks, so they have written to Li Shimin, asking Li Shimin to strengthen the management of these Turks, make some restrictions on the Turks, and even some radical people, asking all the Turks to be moved to Hongzhou.

In fact, the reason why these radical ideas appeared above is not just because of the assassination of Li Shimin, because these Turks and Han people lived together before, and their customs and habits were different, and some conflicts inevitably occurred.

Therefore, in the place where the Turks and the Han people live together, the contradictions between the two sides are also very acute, and even the magistrates do not like the Turks very much, and as a result, under this kind of grievance, there was an assassination of Li Shimin at the rate of association, which just detonated this long-buried grudge, so someone proposed to move all the Turks to Hongzhou, and this call is getting louder and louder, and many ministers in the court have also responded, and for a time the Turks are also shouting and beating.

Of course, there are also many sober ministers, knowing that the assassination of Li Shimin by the association is only a case, and although there is a conflict between the Turks and the Han people, but with the passage of time, the contradictions between the two sides are also getting smaller, especially some Turkic children who grew up among the Han people have become more and more Sinicized, and even some Turkic children can't even speak Turkic language, it is expected that in a few decades, when the earliest batch of Turks are dead, the rest will no longer be Turks.

However, although there are many sober people, few people dare to help the Turks speak, because most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty are from Guanzhong or Henan, that is to say, their hometown is where the Turks and the Han people live together, and the local Han people have great resentment against the Turks.

Li Shimin was also furious, although the association rate and others did not even enter his dormitory door, let alone hurt him, but the association rate and He Luohu were arranged by him to his side, I thought that these Turks would be very grateful to him, but he did not expect that they secretly plotted to assassinate him, which was simply a "snap" slap in the face.

However, Li Shimin's anger turned into anger, and he did not lose his mind because of this, if he really moved all the Turks to Hongzhou in a fit of anger now, it would seem refreshing, but it would leave countless hidden dangers.

For example, these Turks have been living in the Central Plains and Guanzhong for many years, and suddenly let them move to Hongzhou, which is thousands of miles away, not to mention the manpower and material resources that need to be spent, these Turks themselves are a big trouble, after all, they also know the situation in Hongzhou, how can they easily give up their comfortable life here to go to Hongzhou?

Of course, the troubles are not only the above, but also involve other problems, even Li Xiu secretly sighed when he knew the above news, maybe the chaos within Datang will be caused by this incident?
