Du He's last words were like a slap in the face, and they blinded Ashina Sheer and his stubbornness. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They always thought that it was not them who caused everything today, but the people of the Tang Dynasty, and those officials of the Tang Dynasty who had chicken stomachs and could not tolerate them. But now that Du He said it, he found that the real source was actually in them. It's not that the Tang Dynasty can't tolerate them, but that they, as losers and without the consciousness of losers, have been taking advantage of Li Shimin's magnanimity to make the Turkic nation still exist in the Tang Dynasty.
It is no wonder that those officials of the Tang Dynasty were so repulsive to them, as a unified country. How can they tolerate the emergence of a nation within a nation?
It's just because of Li Shimin's face that it hasn't broken out. Ashina's rebellion became the fuse that intensified the contradictions. So that every minister has a sense of resistance to the Turks, a country within a state that has perished.
Ashina Sheer, stubbornly lost his thinking power and was speechless for a long time, so he didn't know what to say.
Du He said deeply: "What makes people different from beasts is that we talk about 'love', and the two generals are both people who value love and righteousness. This nostalgia for the homeland is human nature, not a fault. But I hope that the two great generals can figure it out that the Eastern Turks have perished and do not exist anymore. And you, whom I, Datang now accept, treat you equally. The reason is that His Majesty is benevolent, magnanimous, and unwilling to kill. But you have always been unwilling to merge into my Datang, and no one can predict what the consequences will be in the long run. His Majesty the Heavenly Khan will not be able to protect you for a hundred years, and he will die one day. Whether the next emperor of the Tang Empire will be able to tolerate you as much as His Majesty, no one knows. ”
"I don't think the rebellion of Ashina's association rate is entirely a bad thing, his rebellion has exposed the most critical problem between my Datang and your Turks. Neither general is stupid, and I think this should be considered in the long run. Personally, I think that if the Eastern Turks have been like this and do not integrate into our Tang Dynasty, in the end there will only be one outcome for the two sides - mutual hostility. Either my Datang can't tolerate you and slaughter you cleanly, or you can't continue to endure the rule of my Datang, so you will rebel against my Datang. ”
Du Ho's words are not guessing.
There is only one Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, and there is only one Ashina Sheer in the same Eastern Turks, and one is obsessed with thinking.
Li Shimin has the ability to deter the Turks and make them obedient like cats, and other emperors may not have this ability. The same Ashina Sheer and stubborn thinking are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and are willing to throw their heads and bask in their blood for the Tang Dynasty, but other Turkic leaders may not be as loyal as them.
It is also true that Duhe knew the course of history and the fate of the Eastern Turks.
After Li Shimin's death, Gaozong Li Zhi succeeded to the throne. Li Zhi is not a faint king, but compared to his father Li Shimin, it is too much different.
In the first year of Tiaolu, the Eastern Turks were subordinate to the Turkic chieftain Ashdwin Fu and Fengzhi under the jurisdiction of the Dadu Protectorate, and the two departments under the jurisdiction of the Fengzhi rate were anti-Tang and established Ashina Nishu as the khan. The Turkic chieftains of twenty-four states responded to them, and their tribes numbered hundreds of thousands. Although later, the Tang Dynasty general Pei Xingjian defeated the Eastern Turks and Montenegro and won a great victory.
However, because Li Zhi later killed the Turks who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, forcing the remaining Turks to become enemies of the Tang Dynasty, it was not until a hundred years later during the Tang Xuanzong period that the Eastern Turks perished under the joint attack of the Tang Dynasty and the Nine Surnamed Tiele Hui and other departments. As a result, the Turks disappeared into the long river of history.
That is to say, if the Turks did not integrate into the Tang Dynasty during this time, they would rebel in the next two or three decades and become the enemies of the Tang Dynasty for a whole hundred years.
Du He had already made a decision in his heart, if the integration could not be achieved this time, then he would try his best to persuade Li Shimin to drive all the Turkic people to Lingnan and let them go to open up the wasteland and contribute to the Tang Dynasty. Losing the horses, losing the nomadic nature of coming and going like the wind, the Turks will be vulnerable.
Ashina Sheer, Zhi Zhi Sili, as the general of the Tang Dynasty who commanded thousands of troops, is not an idle person, Du He said things so clearly and clearly, how can they not know the danger?
Both of their faces turned pale, without any blood.
As one of the highest-ranking generals in Datang, they know more about Datang's military strength than anyone else, and they are all thinking in their hearts: Datang is so strong and has so many talents. If you are an enemy of Datang, what is the difference between looking for death?
For a while, I was apprehensive and didn't pay attention.
The eyes of the two fell on Du He's body at the same time, and they got up at the same time, looked at him deeply, and said in unison: "General Du, we have seen your intelligence." I don't know if there is any way you can solve such a problem. ”
Du He said in a deep voice: "There is a way, but I don't know if the two generals are willing to accept and cooperate." ”
Ashina Sheer said: "General Du should say that it doesn't matter! ”
Du He said: "I don't know how the two of you think of my Datang, what is the position of my Datang in your hearts, tell the truth!" ”
Ashina Sheer said solemnly without hesitation: "Datang is like my motherland, and I, Ashina Sheer, am willing to pay my life for it." ”
Stubbornly lost his thinking and said categorically: "I yearn for the atmosphere of Datang, and I am willing to drain every drop of blood for Datang." ”
Du He tempted: "Since you are willing to sacrifice for my Datang, then why can't you use your prestige to persuade the Turkic people to put aside all their prejudices, integrate into my Datang, and become the people of my Datang?" As long as you succeed, Your Majesty will no longer be embarrassed, and the ministers will not make things difficult for you, and you Turkic remnants will have no difference between you and my Tang Dynasty from now on. ”
Hearing this, Ashina Sheer and Zhifu Sili each other's eyes lit up, glanced at each other, and nodded their heads one after another to exchange ideas.
Duho told them the solution to the problem.
Ashina Sheer and Zhiqi both showed a sly smile.
Immediately, Ashina Sheer warmly entertained Duhe.
The next morning.
The confrontation between Li Shimin and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was staged again.
Just when the two sides couldn't hold on, Ashina Sheer stood up and glanced at the ministers with contempt, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, according to the opinion of the last general Ashina, this group of crooked birdmen should be beheaded and executed. ”
This sentence immediately pierced the sky!
Ashina Sheer explained unhurriedly: "Your Majesty's Eastern Turks have perished as early as the fourth year of Zhenguan. As the remnants of our country, Your Majesty took us in with a supreme heart and gave us food and shelter. We are naturally your people, the people of the Tang Dynasty. But these literati seem to be eager to divide us, and they don't know what kind of heart they have. ”
