Chapter 295: Let's Go
The plank road is repaired in the light, and the warehouse is in the dark.
This is the means of the Hui envoy, Xie Yi came back to his senses, and suddenly felt like he had been taken advantage of. It's just that the skills are not as good as people, or some carelessness, it seems that these people who don't know "knowledge" in the grassland should not be underestimated.
And this is not a big deal, the darkness of Chen Cang is not terrible, what is terrible is what do you want to do after spending Chen Cang? That's the crux of the matter.
If the envoy asks for a price because of this, Xie Yi will definitely be unhappy, and then leave with his sleeves up, or even give an order to evict guests, even if the Hui people once saved their subordinates.
There is a principle of repaying kindness, and the two cannot be confused, especially not to be held hostage by others. Just imagine, how many people in history have died unexplained, or screwed things up to repay the favor? There are too many lessons to be learned, and we must take them as a warning.
But when the envoy spoke, Xie Yi was not angry, and even felt that he should "help" the Hui people, to be precise, this was his own business at all.
The Uighurs seem to know their identity very well, and their positioning is very accurate, and they don't say anything. After making trouble for a long time, the Hui people wanted to ask for a title, but the Khan's title was just that, which is not surprising. Although their leader was indeed called Khan, it was completely different after being canonized by the Tang Dynasty.
A title is recognized by the Tang Dynasty, acknowledging their de facto possession of Xue Yantuo's hometown, and recognizing their current status and territory. It will even be a capital for them to dominate the grassland in the future, and they will be able to become famous and have a tiger skin weapon that can be borrowed.
A simple title is very important to the development of the Hui Ministry. Think about Xue Yantuo was like this back then, from a small tribe suppressed by the eastern Turks to the king of the steppe, it was with the help of the defeat of Jieli Khan, and then got the title of Tang Zhenzhu Khan.
It was also from the beginning of the establishment of the sweat tent that Yi Nan gathered a lot of horses, which made Xue Yantuo grow rapidly. In the end, the idea of marrying the princess of the Tang Dynasty was also proposed.
Originally, Li Shimin had acquiesced, and she was born as a princess, and her status was extremely noble. It's a pity that Xue Yantuo is not interesting, always messing around, and is ready to move, which angered His Majesty the Tang Emperor. Under the pretext of letting Yi Nan take 100,000 cattle and sheep to Lingzhou to give a dowry, because of the severe snow, all the cattle and sheep froze to death, so the marriage collapsed.
To some extent, the decline of Xue Yantuo also began at this time.
Right now. The Hui people want to draw a scoop on the gourd. If nothing else, after all the conditions are ripe, they will also ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty and marry the Tang Dynasty.
If Datang thinks it is necessary, maybe he will consider it, using a woman to maintain the stability of Datang's frontier, Junchen thinks it is very cost-effective. Recently, Xie Yi also received news that the war in Songzhou had stopped, and Lu Dongzan, the great minister of Tubo, came to Chang'an in person. For their Zampu Songtsen Gampo to marry the Tang princess.
If nothing else, Princess Wencheng will also appear, as for whose woman it will be, Xie Yi doesn't know.
These things. It must be a major matter that needs to be discussed between the emperor and the prime ministers in the court, and even if the Hui people don't mention it, they will discuss it, and even implement it directly. The Hui people were in a bit of a hurry.
Now that the Hui people have made such a request, why don't they help? Anyway, I didn't say a few words to let myself say a few kind words, and it was completely okay to be a favor. The right is to repay last year's kindness.
Xie Yi immediately smiled and said: "Okay, this official will play His Majesty the Emperor, it is said that during the Shangyuan Festival, all countries will go to Chang'an to congratulate, your ministry ......"
"That's natural, Hui is going to Chang'an to greet His Majesty the Heavenly Khan." The Hui envoys immediately smiled, as if a good thing had become the same, although they could also go to Chang'an to pay tribute in the past, their status was completely different. This time, without the suppression of the Xue Yantuo people, and even the color of the Western Turks don't need to be paid too much attention to, it is simply an unprecedented event, if you can get the canonization of the Tang Dynasty by the way, it will be the icing on the cake.
Xie Yi smiled at this and said nothing, whether this khan would be canonized or not, according to the original history, it should be, but now that Xue Yantuo has such a thing, it is difficult to say. It depends on what His Majesty the Emperor and the prime ministers think, this matter is not up to you.
However, I vaguely remember that during the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an had a saying that "Uighur clothes were loaded with Huhu horses". After the Anshi Rebellion, Tang Suzong ascended the throne in Lingwu, and still used the power of the Hui people to recover Chang'an and Luoyang. However, there was a heavy price to pay, which was to allow the Uighurs to plunder the city for three days.
What a concept this is, it goes without saying.
How to put it, the tribes of the steppe are a pack of hungry wolves, and once you are weak, he will pounce on you and bite off a piece of meat. With Xue Yantuo's experience, I believe Li Shimin will learn a lesson!
In any case, it is good not to make Hui Hui another confidant, and it is enough to raise a tiger for such a thing as a trouble.
After settling down the things on the grassland, he can finally embark on the road back, Xie Yi is already at the heart at the moment, and he just wants to return to Chang'an as soon as possible to accompany the two wives and wait for the arrival of the little life.
As a result, not long after hitting the road, Yebei came to report and found an anomaly - someone was following behind.
This made the situation a little tense, after all, there was Li Zhi with him, if there was a mistake on the way, everything in front would come to naught.
Xie Yi was very cautious, and did not alarm Li Zhi and the armor's soldiers, but asked Yebei and Kan Ling to investigate, but only Yebei came back alone.
"Ah Lang, Brother Kan said that he will solve this matter, we don't have to worry."
Hearing Yebei's description, Xie Yi knew in his heart, and he should have guessed who was following him. Since Kan Ling said so, then he must have the ability to solve it, and he doesn't have to worry about anything, as for what it will be, Xie Yi probably knows it.
Such a thing, you should rest assured that Kan Ling will do it, Xie Yi firmly believes in one thing, that is, the eldest brother will not harm himself. And then let him go by the way, but a little favor, which can be regarded as a merit.
It's just that it can be done, and it is unknown whether it can be done as desired, but I hope it will be a happy situation.
……
On the grassland of Dingxiang, a woman with a purple veil masked was silent, as if she was thinking about something. The young man on the side was a little anxious, and asked unwillingly, "Sister, are they so cheap?" Let them go? ”
"Or else?"
The masked woman asked rhetorically, looking at the young man who was speechless. Only then did he say softly: "The matter has come to this, Ashina Simo has been replaced by the power of obsessive thinking, and the situation is no longer what it used to be. Even if he is not replaced, we have no chance, who would have thought that if Zhenshui stopped? The people of Xue Yantuo are so vulnerable.
Without Xue Yantuo's support, even if we kill Li Zhi, what can we do? Ashina Simo will only bow his head and beg for mercy from Li Shimin, will he rebel at the risk of being strangled by Li Ji's army and annihilated? No, it won't. It's late, it's too late. ”
The masked woman's words were a little sad, and her expression was a little gloomy. But his thoughts are calm and rational.
The young man was not the same, he said indignantly: "Eldest sister, it is not worth giving up like this, at least I am not reconciled; Even if he can't provoke a war, at least he has to make Li Shimin unhappy. Lest there be good news on all sides, and he only has pride in his heart. ”
The masked woman seemed to realize something, and said in a deep voice, "What did you do?" ”
"It's nothing, I just don't want Li Zhi to return to Chang'an smoothly. As for that Xie Yi, I will keep his life and will not make Brother Kan Ling sad. The young man's gaze was determined, evidently pre-arranged.
The masked woman also quickly thought of something. If she had known beforehand, she would not have allowed it, but now, it seems that it is too late.
She didn't know. What will happen next, and will it be out of control?
However, at this moment, a subordinate outside the tent hurriedly came to report: "Eldest sister." Here it comes...... Here it ......."
"What's coming?" At the first moment, the young man was a little panicked, thinking that the Tang army was coming to chase and kill. But seeing that the subordinate was not panicked, but had some surprised expressions, so he calmed down a little.
Or the masked woman reacted quickly, raised her eyebrows, and didn't know what kind of mood she was in, and asked, "He's here?" ”
Who he is, obviously means something!
The young man realized that he slowly stood up, and the curtain at the door was lifted.
"Boy, in the future, you will make your own decisions, remember that there is a bit of a level, if people find out and fight back, they will die a miserable death." The cold wind blew through the door curtain, and Kan Ling was standing at the door with his head held high.
"Brother Kan......" The young man was a little sluggish, and his speech was slightly stammering.
"I've already brought you back, unscathed, but too young and inexperienced, and it's a little too tender to want to assassinate a prince under heavy protection." Kan Leng's words were unceremonious, even a little harsh.
The young man was speechless and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"I haven't seen you for many years, can't you be polite when you come back? Why are you so fierce? The masked woman changed her temper in the past, and even spoke a little coquettishly.
Kan Ling said without hesitation: "If you don't explain it, he doesn't have a long memory......"
"Really?" The young man was a little unconvinced: "Brother Kan, if you weren't among them, familiar with our style of doing things, how could you find out?" ”
"If you're still hard-mouthed, then you're wrong, you didn't do anything, and you were discovered. Do you think those people in Xie Yi and those guards in the Jin Palace's Mansion are all vegetarians? ”
Kan Ling said coldly: "If it weren't for me, it would be Li Ji who is standing in front of you now!" ”
"Could it be ......" The young man just wanted to retort, only to hear the masked woman shout: "Enough, don't fight......"
"Okay, I'll listen to my eldest sister." The young man said, "Brother Kan, why did you come here today?" ”
"I'm here to save you...... I want to persuade you to ...... too" Kan Ling finished speaking, turned around and looked directly at the masked woman, the meaning seemed obvious.
"Persuade us, the revenge of the year is gone, is it?" The young man asked rhetorically: "Just because Li Shimin buried your father-in-law well, and then gave him a false name, are you satisfied?"
Or is it because your cheap brother-in-law Xie Yi is a high-ranking official in Chang'an and has a bright future, and you have expectations for wealth and wealth?
"People can't live in hatred all the time......" Kan Ling didn't say much, only said this sentence.
"If the enemy does not die, what is the point of us living?"
Kan Ling said slowly: "Some revenge can be avenged, and some revenge ...... Forget it, I believe that the heavenly spirits of fellow relatives want to see us live happily. ”
"Pleasant? If it weren't for them, we would be living happily today...... Don't you know how tragic Gangneung City was when it was broken, and what kind of humiliation the eldest sister suffered to this day? If it weren't for revenge, who of us would have survived to this day? ”
"Yes......" Kan Ling said slowly: "Xie Yi has already found out the person who colluded with Ashina Simo and Xue Yantuo this time, it is that person, and now he has returned to Chang'an with evidence, I don't know if this news can solve the hatred in your hearts?" ”
"Really?" The masked woman slowly stood up, seeming surprised and excited.
Kan Ling nodded lightly and said, "Really! ”
"I promise you, he will die!" Kan Ling's words were loud, as if he had made a heavy promise.
"Good!" The masked woman, who had always been extremely strong, suddenly burst into tears, and her eyes were filled with tears, and perhaps the most painful thing for him was always that incident. That person is the most obsessed enemy in her heart, and there is indeed a great shock in her heart at this moment.
"It's a pity that I can't kill that traitor." The masked woman couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but after a while, she cried with joy: "But I am satisfied to see his family ruined." ”
"Well, Xie Yi just knew about his conspiracy, so he brought Li Zhi to settle the matter, so ......"
Before Kan Ling's words were finished, the young man added: "So as long as you kill Li Zhi, you can blame him, let him die without a place to be buried, and let Li Shimin feel the loss of his relatives." ”
"Enough, don't mess around!" Kan Ling said: "Is it useful to kill a thirteen-year-old child?" Even if, as you had predicted, there was a war on the steppe, would it be useful? Can Datang die in the country?
In the past 20 years, it has changed from what it used to be, and the war will only plunge more people into war, and people like you and me will be homeless. Kan Ling said: "Do you want such a tragedy to continue to happen?" ”
"You go, given that Xie Yi got the evidence of his incrimination, I should be grateful to him and thank you." The masked woman said slowly: "But there are some things that are not the same. ”
"Moon ......" Kan Ling wanted to call her maiden name in a hurry.
The masked woman shook her head and said, "She hasn't come back to life yet, so ...... Let's go! ”
After saying one sentence twice, the two of them almost broke their bowels, but they turned their backs away.
Kan Ling left, left a sentence and left.
"I'll wait until she comes back!"
After speaking, he turned around and opened the curtain, and walked into the wind and snow, the north wind howled, blowing inexhaustibly...... (To be continued.) )
