The rest is much easier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mare's milk wine has a strong smell, and the sweat medicine does not have multiple flavors, and it is impossible to detect it when mixed into it. And the sweat medicine prepared by Du He is a hundred times smarter than what is sold on the market, as long as you drink it carelessly into your belly, you will be a cow, and you will become a plague chicken that will not survive life.

In just half an hour, the 126 people who had spent ten years preparing for the Ashina Association fell to the ground one by one, sleeping like dead pigs.

No matter how brave and good these men may be, they will taste a little and become lambs to the slaughter.

Li Shimin, who hunted bears, also appeared later, and Ashina led a group of people to be arrested.

Looking at Li Shimin's murderous face, Du He knew that these people had already stepped into the coffin with one foot.

Li Shimin inquired about the details of Ashina He Luohu, and also learned what Ashina Sheer had persuaded them, his eyes showed a trace of emotion, and he said in a deep voice: "He Luohu, although you are also involved, I will wake up in time to save you from death, go to the prince of the county, and change the title of Marquis of Anxi." ”

Ashina Horohu knelt down on the ground without complaint and said, "Thank you for the grace of His Majesty the Khan not to kill." The sinner Horohu was ignorant, and was deceived by his uncle's association rate, and almost made a great mistake. In the future, I am willing to be a pawn with a sinful body and serve His Majesty the Heavenly Khan. ”

Li Shimin smiled "haha": "I have already said that as long as I am willing to work for my Datang, I will never care about his nationality." Since you are so faithful, then I will grant it. You can be a captain under General Ashina for the time being, and if you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. ”

Ashina Horohu was stunned for a moment, but did not react. He made this suggestion, all thanks to Ashina Sheer's golden and jade words, which made him enlightened. It's just that he understands that he is guilty, and he doesn't expect to be trusted and forgiven immediately, and he never imagined that Li Shimin would respond in one go.

Looking up at the tall body, it seems to be looking at a mountain that cannot be climbed. He finally understood why Ashina Sheer would say that His Majesty the Heavenly Khan's mind was broader than the heavens, the earth and the sea.

He suddenly felt an indescribable excitement.

Whether you live or die, this person is determined to follow him!

Li Shimin didn't say much anymore: "Lead the way ahead, I will personally go to save General Ashina!" ”

Du He didn't expect this to happen, but the matter was decided, and he didn't think much about it, and followed him.

Ashina Sheer was still in a coma and was hidden under the Hu bed, Li Shimin ordered the guards behind him to remove the ropes, and summoned the imperial doctor to give him a detailed examination.

Ashina was captured, and there were still many aftermath things to deal with, so he didn't stay here long, stayed for a while, told the doctor to take care of him, and left immediately.

Du He naturally followed, took two steps, remembered the antidote, turned around and handed the antidote to Ashinahe Luohu, and then followed quickly.

Li Shimin glanced at him suspiciously, but did not ask.

Du He smiled and explained: "It's the antidote, Ashina He Luohu is indecisive and lacks assertiveness, and the son-in-law doesn't dare to believe it all, so he uses some improper means." ”

Li Shimin's mind was so sharp that he immediately guessed what this improper means was, and he didn't say anything. In major national affairs, there is no distinction between legitimate and improper means, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is a good means. As a clever politician, how could he not understand?

Du He continued: "I just didn't expect General Ashina to intervene, it seems to be a bit of a superfluous move. ”

Speaking of Ashina Sheer, Li Shimin also sighed and said: "General Ashina is so loyal to me, I have doubted him, it really shouldn't be!" ”

Du He did not interject, the relationship between Ashina Sheer and Ashina Association Rate is extraordinary, and it is reasonable to have this suspicion. However, he had full confidence in Ashina Sheer from the beginning. Knowing history is one of the key factors for him to dominate the Tang Dynasty.

Because of the Tang Dynasty's enlightened policy towards the outside world, the number of foreign generals was the largest among all Han dynasties. The more famous generals such as Qi Bi He Li, Zhi Zhi Si Li, Ashina Sheer, Li Guangbi, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan and other generals are all aliens, and they are not inferior to the generals of the Central Plains in terms of loyalty, and some are even better than them.

The third general of the Tang Dynasty, Qi Bi He Li, Zhi Zhi Si Li, and Ashina Sheer are three of them.

Therefore, Du He did not think that Ashina Society would be in the same league as Ashina from the beginning. However, after this incident, I didn't have a lot of dreams at night, and I should soon have to subdue the Turks.

Thinking of this, Du He gave birth to a new idea in his mind, his thoughts were racing, and gradually a new set of plans initially appeared in his mind, and he said in his heart: "If it goes well, I Datang should be grateful to Ashina for the association rate." ”

Li Shimin returned to the camp with Ashina's association rate.

Ashina's sinister intentions also spread at that time, and the news was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, alarming the five continents and four oceans, and the entire camp exploded.

Originally, Ashina's association rate aroused the disgust of the vast majority of people because of the horse taming and banquet competition, and they were dissatisfied with him.

When Duhe returned to the camp, he was alone in the tent thinking about his sudden thoughts.

He knew that Li Shimin must be having a headache over the affairs of the Turkic remnants.

The integration of every ethnic group was not an easy task, and the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks and took the territory of the Eastern Turks into their own. It's just that because of different races, they can't integrate amicably. In this regard, Li Shimin is jealous, it is natural to have a headache, and it will be the same for any emperor.

Because the Turks were nomadic peoples, both men and women could ride horses and shoot arrows, and with a little practice, the people could become brave and warlike elites. Therefore, in the face of those hundreds of thousands of people, no emperor can be indifferent.

But the crux of the matter lies in this, before they become elite people, their identity is the common people.

This massacre can still be morally said to be in the past, but if the slaughter of unarmed civilians is unreasonable, especially genocide, a massacre is hundreds of thousands, millions.

If Li Shimin dared to do this, all the literati in the world would poke him in the backbone.

In this case, Li Shimin chose a compromise method to separate the Turkic people, soldiers, horses, and generals from control and control. All the foreign generals served in Chang'an, all the foreign people lived in a place with abundant water and soil, and all the soldiers and horses of the foreign race were stationed on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, the three are mutually contained.

If the soldiers want to rebel, they must be afraid of the generals and leaders and the people under the control of the Tang Dynasty; If the generals want to rebel, they must be afraid of the soldiers and horses and the people under the control of the Tang Dynasty; The same is true of the people who want to do the opposite.

With such a clever mutual check, it was almost impossible for the Turkic remnants to rebel. That's why Ashina's association rate will take a risk, because only by capturing Li Shimin and forcing him to give an order can the three of them be fused together again. form a whole - the Turkic peoples.

There is no doubt that Li Shimin's method is indeed clever and effectively limits the possibility of rebellion by the Turkic remnants, but this trick has always been a symptom rather than a root cause. The Turkic remnants have always been Turkic remnants, and they have not been able to become the common people of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a lack of effective integration with each other.

What Du He had in mind was this matter, so that the Eastern Turks would completely disappear in history and merge with the Tang Dynasty, which would have been a very difficult thing. But because of Ashina's nonsense, it created a perfect opportunity for Datang.

After sorting out all his thoughts, Du He smiled confidently, and left the camp straight to find Li Shimin to offer advice.

Li Shimin discussed Turkic affairs with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the camp tent.

As one of the best kings in China, Li Shimin knew very well the abilities of everyone under his command. The three prime ministers he trusted the most were Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng, each of whom had their own merits.

Fang Zheng is used externally, and Wei Zheng is good at governing and used internally.

The Turkic matter was a foreign strategy, so he only invited Fang Du and the others, and did not include Wei Zheng. Obviously, he was worried that Wei Zheng's benevolent and Taoist ideas would not only not help, but would cause them trouble.

Just when they were discussing this topic routinely, they suddenly heard the news that Du He asked to see him.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling both looked at Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui shook his head slightly, also unaware.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "Please let him in!" "Their monarchs and ministers are discussing state affairs, and they are not allowed to be disturbed. But Li Shimin knew Du He's talent very well, and since he came, he also wanted to hear his opinions, so he made an exception and let him enter to discuss together.

Du He got the report, because he had a clever plan, he walked into the tent with a smile, and after a glance, he found that the old man was actually there, and immediately changed his expression, and his attitude also changed a hundred and eighty degrees.

The changes were all in the eyes of the three of them, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling smiled secretly in their hearts.

Du Ruhui blushed and raised his eyebrows.

Du He secretly complained to himself, where did he think that the old man was also here, he knew that this was the case, so he didn't come. Although Du Ruhui is not pedantic, he is the head of the eighteen bachelors under Li Shimin in the past, and he is a well-known Confucian disciple. The admonition in the Qu Li Shang. "Don't swim, don't stand lame, sit without a basket, don't sleep down. There is no need for hair, no crown is inevitable, no labor is necessary, and there is no clothing for summer. Sitting in the elderly, not going up to the hall, Xie Tuo does not dare to be a step. Just kneel and lift it, holding it to the side. The elders of the township are on their knees, kneeling and moving, and bowing down to accept them. Leave the sitting, stand, don't go to the sitting" and so on.

Anyway, you can't run when you walk, you have to hold your head up, your chest up, and even your steps must be the same size, and you can't exceed the range limit.

Du He's eldest brother Du Wei let him educate him to become this kind of gentleman, but Du He has never liked etiquette and law, and yearns for unrestrained the most. But he is an old man who is extremely decent, so he must be meticulous every time he faces him, and every move can only be done strictly by strictly abiding by the norms. It can only be done on the surface, and one on the back.

Now that the old man has been caught, he will inevitably be reprimanded when he turns back, and the taste is almost the same as a sentence.

"The son-in-law has met Your Majesty, Uncle Fang, Father!" He will salute respectfully.

Li Shimin smiled and said that he was exempt, Fang Xuanling nodded, but Old Man Du snorted lightly.

When Li Shimin saw Du He meet Du Ruhui, he thought that it was a mouse and a cat, and his heart was happy, and it seemed that it was a very happy thing to see Du He eating deflated. After a while, I asked Du He what he meant.

Du He secretly slandered a few words in his heart, and soon corrected his mentality, he did not forget his intention, and said solemnly: "The son-in-law is here for Ashina's association rate, and I think we can use this opportunity to formally subdue the Eastern Turks, so that they can officially become the people of my Tang Dynasty." ”

His voice fell.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and there was surprise in their eyes.

Coincidentally, they are also discussing this matter when they get together today.

They feel that there is an Ashina association rate, and there will inevitably be a second and third in the future, and in order to prevent such a situation from appearing one after another, they are all considering a method once and for all, and they already have a preliminary idea.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Tell me your opinion!" ”

Du He smiled confidently and said: "This is to make the Eastern Turks and my Tang Dynasty merge, there is no better way than assimilation, and the best way to assimilate is cultural aggression." Use the culture of our Datang to educate the Turkic people, let them learn everything about my Datang, get used to everything in my Datang, and forget the fact that they are nomads. ”

Li Shimin said: "I also understand this point, and I do the same. It's just that this cultural invasion is not an overnight thing, and if it is forced, it will only arouse the emotions of those remnants. But don't be strong, they have long been accustomed to grassland life, and it is not easy for them to accept my Datang culture. ”

They launched a similar policy a few years ago, and the results were not satisfactory.

"That's because they have rebellious emotions in their hearts." Du He was transparent about these people's thoughts, and said: "To put it mildly, these people are a group of slaves who have lost their country, and it is reasonable for them to have nostalgia for their homeland and be unwilling to accept foreign domination and foreign culture. This cannot be forced, but if we can break their imprisoned thinking, we can take action and achieve twice the result. ”

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui listened to each other's eyes lit up thoughtfully. The former asked, "What is the wisdom of the virtuous son-in-law?" ”

Du He said: "Take advantage of the Ashina association rate to hype up and create a public opinion offensive, so that all Turks will identify with Your Majesty and praise Your Majesty, so that they will naturally accept Your Majesty as a matter of course." ”

Hype!

Public opinion offensive!

The words of the new century made the three of them confused.
