Chapter 848: Western Turks

Cui Min did these people go back to discuss, what to discuss, no one knows, or even if someone knows, they won't take it to heart, Li Yuan has already surrendered, what else can these people discuss? Can it still change the world, in the face of the powerful Li Xin, these people are either obedient, or, just waiting to be destroyed, no matter what it looks like, everyone knows that the glory of the Shandong and Hebei families has become a thing of the past, and the Tang Dynasty, Li Xin will not allow these families to continue to manipulate the government.

With the issuance of Li Yuan's holy decree, white flags were raised in Hebei, Shandong, and Youzhou to submit to Li Xin, and of course, there were also some die-hard elements who continued to resist Li Xin's army.

Zhuojun City, Li Xin's soldiers and horses are stationed in Zhuo County, this is the second time he came to Zhuo County, the last time he followed Yang Guang, at that time, he was just a small low-level officer, but now he is the master of this land.

The reason why Li Xin stopped here was because Li Yuan had surrendered, and he was already the owner of this land in name, so he asked his generals to recover Youzhou, but he was here waiting for the arrival of the Western Turkic Ashina Ni, followed by the delicate beauty of Ashina Yun. Of course, there is another problem, that is, he wants to know the details of the Hebei and Shandong families, this is a huge interest group, that is, Li Xin has the power in the world, and if he wants to deal with this huge interest group, he is also cautious, otherwise, the Shandong and Hebei that he has just seized will be paralyzed.

Thinking about how difficult it was for Li Xin to deal with the Guanlong family at the beginning, even now, the Guanlong family still occupies a large number of positions, but it can just influence the government at will. The Kanto family is different, the Kanto family has a large number of people, and it was not affected much in the Yang Guang era, and more importantly, the Kanto family was a prime minister. In other words, most of the Kanto families are literati, in this era, the emphasis is on elite politics, and the literati dominate the court, it can be concluded that once the Kanto family is integrated into the Tang Dynasty, they will go farther and farther on the road of the imperial examination, and with a large number of network resources, the power will become bigger and bigger.

But the field is again an important bargaining chip. It is impossible for Li Xin to let the land still be in the hands of a small number of people, and it is inevitable that the land will be recovered after a hundred years, and the land annexation will intensify again, and there will be countless rebels in the world, which has been confirmed by all dynasties. Even if Li Xin is a latecomer, he can't help but face this situation.

"Your Majesty. Niangniang and Ashina Ni have already entered the city and are carrying out the edict outside the palace. At this time, Song He walked in to report.

"Let them in! Also, Yin Guogong's recital is coming. I sent it over quickly, I have been waiting for a moment for ten years. Li Xin couldn't help but show a smug look, he couldn't forget Li Yuan's lofty face at the beginning, and now he could finally take revenge.

"The minister (concubine) Ashina Ni (Ashina Yun) greets Your Majesty."

After half a ring. I saw a man and a woman walking outside, the man's appearance was heroic, and the color of wind and frost was faintly visible. The woman is graceful and has a hot body, she is really Ashina Ni and Ashina Yun.

"Get up! General Ashina. Li Xin glanced at Ashina Ni and nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ashina Ni and Ashina Yun hurriedly stood up.

"The general marched all the way east, how about seeing me in the Central Plains?" Li Xin asked with a smile.

"The Central Plains is far richer than the Western Regions, just because Your Majesty has unified the world, and the war in the world has not subsided. There is still a trend of depression in various places. Ashina Ni said quickly, he told some of the situations along the way, and there was no flattery, and there was no hostility, and he paid attention to seeking truth from facts. It made Li Xin very happy.

"Li Yuan is about to return to Shun, the Central Plains will also be restored, the next step is to consolidate internal affairs, I am afraid that there will be no strength left to conquer the world in a short time." Li Xin nodded and said: "There are too many things in the Central Plains, and in the Western Regions, I'm afraid there will be General Lao." ”

"There is a khan, where is the matter of the last general." Ashina Ni shook his head and said. Ash Nayun's face changed when he heard this, as Li Xin's pillow person, how could he not know Li Xin's thoughts, this time to let Ashina Ni come to him, it is undoubtedly dissatisfied with Ashina's strength, otherwise, as a general, where does Ashina Ni have such a privilege.

"Ashina has lived up to my expectations of him too much." Li Xin's eyes flashed with coldness, and said: "I let him run the Western Regions, in fact, I just let him be the king of the Western Regions, there is no major event on weekdays, just manage the place, crack down on sand bandits, bandits and the like, I didn't expect him to be insatiable, and he actually wanted to use the idea of traveling along the way, which I can't allow." I Datang welcomes people from all over the world to come here to manager, Uighurs, Sogdians, Arabs in the Western Regions, as long as they come to my Datang to abide by the rules and regulations of the imperial court, I welcome it, the Silk Road will be a golden road for our dynasty, not only my Datang, but also the countries in the Western Regions, don't you also get a lot of benefits? But if he makes such a fuss, who will take this path in the future? ”

Whether it is Ashina Yun or Ashina mud after listening, they dare not speak, everyone knows that Li Xin attaches great importance to the Silk Road, when Li Xin occupied Liangzhou, it was by virtue of the Silk Road that he gained a firm foothold in Liangzhou, and now Ashina is a force in the Western Regions, seriously threatening the safety of the Silk Road, no wonder Li Xin is extremely unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the great battle between my Turks and Jieli some time ago suffered extremely heavy losses, and the Khan probably did it because of this."

Ashina's words, before he finished speaking, were stopped by Li Xin, and only listened to Li Xin say: "Although you have suffered heavy losses, but under the protection of the Tang Dynasty, there is always a day of recovery. Could it be that he still wants to restore the glory of his ancestors, annex the Western Regions, and attack the Central Plains? ”

"The Turks had no such intention." Ashina's face was pale with fright, and he fell to his knees all of a sudden, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he quickly explained. Li Xin's words are too lethal, and he almost directly said that Ashina is the rhythm of wanting to rebel. Although Ashina Ni is not used to Ashina's various actions, he does not dare to let Li Xin really have such an opinion.

"You don't have to explain anything to him, I see every move in the Western Regions, and I know more than you, even more than you. Some you don't know, I know. His heart is very wild! Li Xin said disdainfully.

"Your Majesty." After listening to Ashina Yun, his face turned pale, and his eyes showed a look of horror, Li Xin's meaning at the moment was very clear, that is, he wanted to remove Ashina Li's position as Khan, don't look at Ashina Li's Khan in the Western Regions, and the entire Western Turks were under his control, but for the Tang Dynasty, as long as Li Xin made a holy decree, he could abolish it.

"If you want to save Ashina's life, you have to give up the position of the Great Khan, and if you don't have the ability to think about being a Great Khan, you are looking for death by yourself, he is doing mischief in the Western Regions, which has already aroused the anger of the people in the Western Regions. Li Xin turned to look at Ashina Ni and said.

"It's still under control." Ashina hesitated for a while before saying: "After all, the Turkic soldiers and horses are all in the hands of Ashina Buzhen and his ministers, although the khan has some practices, which makes people disagree, but there are no major problems yet." ”

Ashina Ni Ni didn't have any thoughts in his heart, although the position of this Great Khan is good, but don't forget, on top of this, there is also a Tang Dynasty, don't you see, can Li Xin get rid of a Khan with a holy decree?

"Ashina, go back and let the Wude Hall issue an edict and give a golden seal, from today on, you are the Dulu Khan. I am in charge of the Western Turks. Li Xin looked at Ashina Ni who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Can I trust you?" ”

"Your Majesty's Decree." Ashina Ni said without hesitation.

There was no sorrow or joy in his heart, because he had already seen that Li Xin's holy decree was through His Highness Wude, which showed that Li Xin actually only placed the Turks under the Wude Palace, and every personnel change in the Western Turks in the future would be implemented through the Wude Palace, instead of directly entrusting Li Xin as before, and there was already an obvious gap in status.

"As for Ashina Li, Ashina Li, let Ashina Lili go back to Chang'an! He was named the Marquis of Zhuolu. Li Xin thought about it, looked at Ashinayun's miserable appearance, and finally canonized Ashina as a marquis, a little marquis in Chang'an City, nothing at all.

Ash Nayun was about to say something, but when he saw Li Xin's gloomy face, he didn't dare to speak, although he removed the position of Khan, he finally had a place to settle down, which was good.

"Your Majesty, what should Ashina really do?" Ashina Ni asked again.

"If I am willing to use it for you, I don't care, if it can't be used for you, kill it!" Li Xin didn't think about it and said: "Xu Yi, the commander of the Shura army, is in the Western Regions, after you go back, unite with Xu Yi's Shura army, and constantly harass Jieli Khan, within a year, I am afraid that I will not be able to conquer the Turks, Goguryeo has occupied Liaodong, and the troops are directed at Yan County, and when Li Yuan is solved, the next step is to deal with Goguryeo." ”

"Yes." Ashina Ni hurriedly responded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is good news from the Duke of Yin Guo, Li Yuan has surrendered."

At this time, there was a burst of shouts outside, and I saw Song He leading a soldier to break in, still holding a tray in his hand, Li Xin saw that on the tray, there were jade seals, dragon robes and crowns, etc., and his heart suddenly burst into excitement, after so many years of fighting, Li Yuan finally surrendered. This also announced that nominally, Li Xin had become the owner of the land. (To be continued.) )
