Chapter 123: Prince Shi
"You, you are an envoy of the Tang Dynasty?" Mo He Tutun looked at the young Zhao Ziliang in disbelief, but he had already unconsciously used the honorific title.
Zhao Ziliang took out the envoy's talisman and documents from his arms and handed them over with both hands, and at the signal of Mo Hedu, a waiter stepped forward to take something and turned around and handed it to a minister.
The minister inspected it, nodded to Mo Hedu, and said, "King, it's true!" ”
Mo Hetu Tutun was relieved when he heard this, his mind turned quickly, and he quickly made up his mind and asked, "I don't know what General Zhao is going to our country?" ”
Seeing Mo Helu's demeanor, Zhao Ziliang did not immediately answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "Before this envoy answers this question, can the king tell me what the current situation in your country is?" ”
Mo He Tutun reluctantly smiled: "My country is very good, the wind and rain are smooth, and the country and the people are safe!" ”
Zhao Ziliang stared at Mo He Tutun with bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't fool me, the king, as far as I know, the current situation in your country is very bad, the big food country in the west is eyeing it, although there is a desert in the west, but the Kang country and Cao country in the south have already fallen to the big food country, threatened and instructed by the big food country, Kang Guo and Cao Guo are only afraid that the relationship with your country is not so harmonious, right?" Also, the Turgish people in the north are not honest, is it possible that the king is already close to the Turgish people in the north? ”
When Mo Hetu Tutun heard this, he knew that Zhao Ziliang had already done some homework, and if he wanted to hide it, he was afraid that it would be difficult to speak next, so he sighed: "Okay, this king told you!" After the death of Sulu, the Turgish people in the north were more unscrupulous, and plundered everywhere in the south, originally with the national strength of our country, they were not afraid of some scattered Turgish rangers, but the southern Kang State and Cao State were instructed by the Great Food Country to deliberately cause trouble on the southern border of our country and contain most of our troops, so the northern border of our country has been repeatedly plundered by the Turgish people but there is no way, in addition, there are some ministers in our country who advocate submitting to the Great Food Country in exchange for the peace of the south, and make every effort to deal with the Turgish people in the north, but this king knows, The ambition of the wolf son of the big cannibal people, if they let them in, and then want them to leave, I am afraid that it will not be easy, in the words of Datang, it is called ······".
"Lure the wolf in!" Zhao Ziliang added.
Mo He slapped his thigh: "Yes, it's to lure the wolf into the room!" Now our country can barely maintain, but if the Great Food Eaters are introduced, the Stone Kingdom will be finished, and this king will soon become a puppet! ”
What Zhao Ziliang said just now was actually not that he really understood the situation of Shi Guo, but based on the analysis, but he didn't expect to be right, and Mo He's attitude also made him see the hope of persuading Shi Guo to send troops to deal with Tuqishi, after all, Shi Guo and Bahanna are two small countries close to Tuqishi, and only these two countries are most likely to send troops.
Zhao Ziliang immediately bowed his hand and said: "King, now that the envoy is here, then the time has come for your country to remove the threat of the northern Turks!" ”
Mo Hetu Tutun immediately became interested, leaned forward from the Hu bed, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by the Venerable Envoy?" ”
Zhao Ziliang said: "So that the king will know that it is not that our country is not strong enough to deal with the Turks over the years, but because the northern Turks have been under the rule of the Ashina clan, and the Ashina clan has a strong appeal and dominance over the ten Turks, and if the Ashina clan has been ruling the ten Turkic people, then our country will not be at peace in the west, so our country appointed Sulu who is not the Ashina clan as the ten surnamed Khan more than 20 years ago, in order to eliminate the influence and deterrence of the Ashina clan in the hearts of the Turks. Now the Ashina clan has been insignificant in the hearts of the ten Turkic people, and even the vast majority of the Turks don't know what the Ashina clan is, Sulu is also self-inflicted, not only is he grateful to my Tang Dynasty over the years, but also often raises troops to attack my Anxi land, and to the west and south with the Great Food Country and Zhaowu Nine Surname countries, and the prestige within the country fell to the extreme before being killed by his subordinates, and the Turks set up the Khan without the permission of the Tang Dynasty, which has violated my Tang Dynasty's taboo, and I think it is time to clean up the Turks, and my country's Anxi Deputy Metropolitan Protector, the Four Towns Jiedu Envoy Gai believes that if you can contact your country and other countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu to jointly attack the Turkish, you can solve the threat in the north in the shortest possible time and restore the smooth flow of the Silk Road, so it will be beneficial to your country and other countries with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, I don't know what the king thinks? ”
Mo Helu Tutun hesitated a little: "Let my country send troops and other countries with the surname Zhaowu to attack the Tuqi Shi with the Tang Dynasty?" This ·······".
At this time, an extremely burly strong man next to him said angrily: "But how did Prince Ben hear that Datang is now surrounded by enemies?" In the southwest, the Tibetan state is rising strongly, which has become a major problem for your country, the post-Turkic people in the north are also very restless, and rebellions often occur, and the Khitan, Murwei, and Yan in the northeast of your country are also often disturbing, in this case, what energy does your country have to deal with the Turks in the north? ”
Zhao Ziliang followed the voice and looked over, only to see that the person who spoke was an extremely tall and burly man with a very immature face.
"Be presumptuous, don't be rude to the envoy!" Mo Hetu Tutun shouted at the person who spoke, he obviously didn't expect that someone would come out to stir up the situation at this time, and when he saw that it was his youngest son, he hurriedly scolded him.
"This is the king's youngest son Qu Le, seventeen years old this year, he has been arrogant and indulged by the king since he was a child, and he doesn't know the etiquette, please don't be like a child!" Mo Hetu Tutun hurriedly explained to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang looked at Qu Le, and heard Mo He Tutun say this, so he waved his hand and smiled: "There are really many handsome people in the world, and Shiguo is also an outstanding person, but I didn't expect Prince Qu Le to be tall and mighty, but he has a flexible mind and wisdom like the sea, and I admire it!" ”
Qu Le couldn't listen to anyone's praise, as soon as others praised him, he couldn't find the north, and his face immediately changed an expression, and he said happily: "You can speak!" ”
Seeing this, Mo Helu Tutun hurriedly ended the conversation and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Honorable envoy, this matter is very important, this king also has to think about it, and please let me tolerate me for some time, how about it?" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "As it should be, then I will leave first!" ”
Mo Helu Tutun hurriedly shouted to the other son: "Then Juche Nose Shi, you take the envoy out of the palace and arrange for the envoy to live in the embassy pavilion!" ”
A strong man in his twenties stroked his chest and said, "Obey, father Khan!" ”
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but turn his head when he heard it, and glanced at the prince named Na Ju Che Bi Shi, he had some impressions of this name, because this name was a little special, I remember that when I read the history books of the Tang Dynasty in my previous life, it was recorded in the history books that in the twelfth year of Tianbao, the Tang Dynasty canonized the prince of Shi Na Ju Che Bishi as the king of Huaihua. You must know that every time the Tang Dynasty canonized the king or prince of the subject country, it had an obvious political purpose, and the canonization of Na Ju Che Shi as the king of Huaihua was obviously no exception.
After settling down in the embassy hall, Zhao Ziliang couldn't stay idle, he took Chu Ge and a few servants to quickly come out of the embassy hall and wander around the city, while learning about the local customs, while checking the city's topography and architectural pattern.
After observation, Zhao Ziliang found that the city was ten miles away, although the city walls were not high, but they were all made of stone, solid and solid, such a city was not small even in the Tang Dynasty, the population was very dense, much larger than the capital of the country of Bahanna.
There are many wheat and corn sales in the market of Tuozhi City, the place is also rich in good horses, there are three horse trading markets in Tuozhi City, the horses traded are all high-quality horses, even the pedestrians on the street are also high-quality horses, and none of the horses used in the carriages of some nobles are mules and horses, all are good horses.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but feel pity when he saw this situation: "It's really bad to trample these good horses!" ”
On the street, there are also performers who set up a grass platform on the side of the street, and some women dance on the stage, which provokes many animals in the audience to scream and scream.
"Shi people are good at dancing, men and women can dance, the woman on the stage dances the tuozhi dance, which is unique to the city, I heard that this dance is very popular in Chang'an, each green building, restaurant, teahouse has women to dance this dance to win the favor of guests!" Chu Ge introduced to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but look at Chu Ge in surprise when he heard this: "How do you know?" ”
Chu Ge twisted and said: "My subordinate has been living in Chang'an until he was thirteen years old, and his family is not bad, but later there was an accident in the family that he had to leave Chang'an and go to Anxi, so he knows this kind of dance."
"Oh, I see!"
