In the garden of Pei's house, Pei Shiju sat under the willow tree, flicked his hands, and a trace of ethereal sound came, the soft sound was pleasant, and after half a sound, he saw his son Pei Xuanji coming over.

"Hey! What should come is still coming, and the kindness of the year is always repaid today. Pei Shiju sighed softly and said to Pei Xuanji, who came over: "But the Turkic princess is here?" ”

"Exactly." Pei Xuanji was surprised in his heart, but he still lowered his head and said.

"Please come in!" Pei Shiju shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to sell my old face this time, who made me owe favors in the Western Regions before!" ”

"Father, these Turks are really too arrogant, the child inquired clearly just now, those Turks not only killed the merchant, but Ashina even insulted the Son of Heaven in the lobby of the Chang'an Mansion." Pei Xuanji said dissatisfiedly: "Father, this is a big crime!" ”

"What do you mean? Don't make a move? Pei Shiju shook his head and said.

"It's naturally not okay if you don't make a move, but the child thinks that this is mainly depending on the emperor's meaning, if the emperor wants to use the Western Turks, then kill the murderer, if you don't want to use the Western Turks, both of them will be killed." Pei Xuanji said without thinking. He spoke very well, apparently having thought about it before coming.

"Well, I put a little thought into it." Pei Shiju was very happy after hearing this, nodded, and said, "Who can guess the emperor's thoughts?" Guo Xiaoke's 10,000-strong army has set off, presumably soon to reach Wuwei, Guo Xiaoke's army is extremely wild, but he is arrogant, and he doesn't know what kind of thing he will do in that place in the Western Regions! Let's go! Back then, Tongye Hu Khan and I were old friends, and his daughter came, so the old man should go in person! Pei Shiju still decided to greet him personally.

In front of Pei's mansion, Ashina Yun's face was calm, she was not an ordinary person who was able to escape from Jinshan with her younger brother. came all the way to Chang'an, and time made her more mature.

"Pei Shiju has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." The door opened, and a thin old man walked out and bowed to her.

"Ashina Yun greets Shibo." Ash Nayun didn't accept his salute, but knelt on the ground and said: "When my father was alive, I once talked about Shibo's demeanor, Ash Nayun was young and rarely close to Shibo, and today I can still see Shibo, even if I die, I am willing." ”

"You kid. In this Chang'an, who would dare to let you die. Get up. Pei Shiju smiled and helped Ashina Yun up, and said: "When I left the Western Regions, you were just a yellow-haired girl, but now that you have grown up, the country is beautiful and beautiful, if you are wearing a grassland to serve, the old man still thinks that you are from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River!" ”

Pei Shiju is old. Now they are seventy-five years old, but they still seem to be in good spirits, and in this era, they are nearly eighty years old. It is already a miracle that it can still be active in the court, but how many years can this miracle exist! I'm afraid no one knows.

"When the Father was there. I often talk about Shibo! He also said that it would be nice to see Shibo one day. Ash Nayun in turn hugged Pei Shiju and said: "I originally came to Chang'an this time to come to see Shibo, but I didn't expect this incident to happen, which made Shibo smile." ”

"Rest assured. Shibo will take action in this matter, hey, Shibo is old, and I don't know how many years I still have to live, at this time, don't I just want to help future generations leave something? Pei Shiju sighed and said, "Girl! There are some things that can be done, but there are some things that Shibo can't do! ”

"Shibo!" Ash Nayun was happy for a while, but after hearing this sentence, his heart suddenly fell.

"Don't talk, listen to me." Pei Shiju patted Ash Nayun and said: "Killing people pays for their lives, especially the Turks killed the Han people, if it was in the previous dynasty, it would be fine to lose some money, but here in the emperor, killing people to pay for their lives is justified, and the guard may not be able to keep it, and as far as your brother is concerned, his courage is not ordinary, tell you, in Chang'an, who dares to say that the current saint is like your brother, without the help of the court, those ordinary people can kill him and attack him in groups." Master Cui just beat him with a few sticks and threw him into the prison, which is already giving you face. ”

Ashinayun nodded, she really didn't blame others for this matter, but she thought about it and said: "Shibo, now that my father Khan has been killed, the Western Turks have no owner for a day, and Jieli Khan is about to come to the city, Ashina Yun came to ask the Celestial Empire to send troops to help." Kill He Molu and reconquer the Western Turks, and I, the Western Turks, are willing to be the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty forever. ”

"If this sentence was in the previous dynasty, those emperors would have believed it, but now here, he only believes in strength, only swords and guns, and it is never enough to be a minister, he would rather have your war horses and your cities than believe in your ministers." Pei Shiju's old eyes burst into light, and said: "When today's son is extremely intelligent, wise and martial, you are a minister today, if one day, the Central Plains declines, you will attack it in groups and become the second Jieli Khan." ”

Ashina Yunfen's face was pale, and her eyes showed a look of horror, she didn't expect Pei Shiju to say such a sentence, her heart trembled, and she didn't know what to do. At this time, she realized that she had underestimated the emperor of the Central Plains, this self-made emperor of the Central Plains, and what she longed for in her heart was to make meritorious contributions, conquer the territory, and unify the world. The prairie people talk about being a vassal is indeed the same as what Pei Shiju said, when you are strong today, I will come to you and call you a vassal, I think you will not attack me, and one day, I will be strong under your dependence, and you are weak, I will not hesitate to resist you, attack you, and dismember you.

"Father, Princess Ashinayun has come all the way to Chang'an, and she wants to come to the emperor for mercy, maybe there is a glimmer of life?" At this time, Pei Xuanji couldn't help but whisper.

"Confused, how can the emperor's mind be so easy to change, is it still the emperor?" Pei Shiju snorted coldly and said, "Don't you know that Guo Xiaoke's army has arrived in Wuwei and is about to enter Gaochang?" ”

Ashina Yun suddenly felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and it was loud for a long time before he woke up, knelt on the ground, and said: "Shibo, please also ask Shibo to play the Son of Heaven, as long as you help me Turkic regain everything that belongs to me, Ashina Yun is willing to be a cow and a horse for the Tang Emperor, and my Ashina family is willing to swear to Changshengtian that I will always be a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and I will never dare to betray." ”

"If so, it's not without a chance." Pei Shiju's eyes flickered, looked at Ashinayun, and said: "It's just that the emperor may look at the old man's face and spare you, but there is no chance to send troops, Guo Xiaoke's troops this time are to seize the Western Regions, after seizing the Western Regions, he will not go west again, and the imperial court is not ready to fight with Jieli Khan now." ”

"Father is old and planning for the country, there must be a way to help Her Royal Highness the princess." Pei Xuanji said with a smile on the side. He also glanced at Princess Ashina Yun proudly, if it was before, Ash Nayun would definitely be able to see that this father and son pretended to be red and white, just to put Ash Nayun in. It's a pity that Ashinayun, who is now excited, has no chance to think about this.

"Please also ask Shibo to help." Ashina Yunbai fell to the ground and said.

"Well, that's marriage. Only by marriage can the emperor have an excuse for the imperial court to send troops to help you seize the grassland. Pei Shiju touched his beard and said.

"The younger brother Ashina is young, and he can marry the princess of the Central Plains as the Yan family." Ash Nayun said without thinking. The Turks often married the princesses of the Central Plains as the Yan clan, and then declared themselves vassals to the Central Plains, strengthening their ties with the Central Plains.

"Ran? Do I still need Yan in Datang? Pei Xuanji said disdainfully: "Now my Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty is only six years old, how can I marry her?" ”

"That?" Ash Nayun suddenly knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "A noble daughter of the clan, I also admire the Turks. "Ordinary women who are close to each other are all clan girls, but Ashina Yun is not wrong.

"The emperor will not agree to such a marriage, Your Royal Highness Princess, if the secret service wants to marry my Central Plains woman, I'm afraid it will be impossible, don't say that it is impossible to be downtrodden now, even if it is a strong period, it is difficult." Pei Xuanji snorted coldly and said: "Since the princess attaches so much importance to the grassland and the Western Turks, why ask others, if Her Royal Highness the princess marries the emperor and enters the palace to serve the Son of Heaven, is the Son of Heaven still missing his brother-in-law?" ”

"Ah, Shibo?" Ashina's face suddenly flushed with shame, and he was shy, and there was a hint of anger. Unexpectedly, Pei's father and son hit this idea.

"If you don't want to, the old man will naturally not force anything, go to the palace, and rescue your brother. Then, you leave Chang'an and go to find Ashina Buzhen, or Ashina, presumably they will all send troops to assist your younger brother. Pei Shiju sighed.

"No, no, Shibo, Ashinayun is willing." After Ash Nayun said that, her voice was almost inaudible, her neck was flushed, or she was shy, or angry, and other emotions instantly rippled in her heart, and only she knew the taste.

"Okay, since that's the case, you will go to the post house first, and the old man will enter the palace." Pei Shiju was very happy to hear this, and said: "This is the best, the family does not speak two words, and only in this way will the emperor not refuse to send troops, and several ministers of the Wude Hall have no reason to object." ”

"Ashinayun, then thank you so much." Ash Nayun's face calmed down a lot, and he saluted the father and son, and then said goodbye and left. (To be continued......)
