"If you can bring your emperor's letter of pardon, pardon us, the old and young of the previous dynasty, and treat us fairly, and appoint them according to their talents, we can help you!" Empress Xiao said.

Empress Xiao had already compromised because he had no choice at all. In fact, at that time, Qiao Shiwang had already understood that there would be such a result, because Empress Xiao was much smarter than that Princess Yicheng, and knew that there was no future for following the Turks. Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established and is in the rising stage, it is difficult for the Turks to eliminate the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the revival of the Sui Dynasty is already a flower in the moon mirror in the water, but that Princess Yicheng is still so stubborn. Now Empress Xiao just wants to take her grandson to be able to live the rest of her life well, they don't want to care so much. And just in case, Empress Xiao said that she wanted to pardon the letter of pardon, so as to ensure the safety of herself and her grandson's lives, and those old and young people of the Sui Dynasty can also enter the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty and have a decent future.

However, Qiao Shiwang shook his head and said, "Impossible, we are so far away from Chang'an here, how can we send this pardon?" So, we can't do what you ask. ”

"Then we can't say yes!" Empress Xiao said.

Empress Xiao is now very "afraid of death", not for himself, but for his grandson. His grandson is the last emperor of the Great Sui, and Empress Xiao has to think about him. If you can't get the emperor's pardon, then the safety of your life is not guaranteed at all. Therefore, Empress Xiao naturally has to get an amnesty, otherwise what's the point? This was an accident, and Qiao Shiwang immediately had an idea, because he had already guessed that there would be an accident.

"Empress Xiao, do you say that these things you have done can be exchanged for the emperor's amnesty? And, still asking so much, do you think what you're about to do is enough to go? Qiao Shiwang asked.

"This ......" Empress Xiao also had nothing to say.

Empress Xiao knows. The things I want are a bit excessive. According to the compromise of the government, he actually has no cards to play, and now Empress Xiao is just a lion's mouth. Assist in the siege, this is simply not possible to exchange for so many conditions. What's more, Datang doesn't absolutely need their help, so their conditions are also very excessive. I'm afraid that even Emperor Li Shimin would not have written these pardons for this. Because there is a big difference between verbal promises and writing a letter of forgiveness. If you agree verbally, then you will abide by it if you are willing to do so, and if you are unwilling, you can not obey it. But the letter of forgiveness is different. He represents the supreme right of a country, which cannot be given lightly. There is no such thing as a pardon, and once it is overflowing, the legal system of the country will collapse. Even, although theoretically the emperor had the right to pardon, later the crown prince Li Chengqian rebelled, and Li You rebelled, and the emperor did not pardon them. The emperor did not even pardon his own son, because the pardon was too important. It's not a last resort that you can't publish! Empress Xiao did this little thing, not enough to ask Li Shimin to write a letter of pardon, even if they caught Jieli. If a pardon was written for Empress Xiao this time, there would be many heroes with the same merits as Empress Xiao in the future. Is that also qualified for the emperor to write a Danshu iron coupon that can avoid death?

"Empress Xiao, although I can't bring the emperor's letter of pardon, I have brought a handwritten letter from the commander of our army outside the city. And the commander of the army outside the city is my predecessor. That is, Jingwen. He is now the envoy of the Snow Shame Army outside the city, that is, the commander. Qiao Shiwang said.

"Is that him?" Empress Xiao was a little surprised.

Less than two years have passed, and Jingwen has changed from a civilian envoy to a military commander. This is a bit of a big change. At that time, when Empress Xiao saw Jingwen, she was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old person, even if a period of time had passed now, how old could she be. But he had actually become the commander of an army, which surprised Queen Xiao a little. At that time, Empress Xiao had a very good impression of Jingwen, because Jingwen was able to evaluate Emperor Yang of Sui fairly, instead of saying that Emperor Yang of Sui was a faint monarch. As a wife, Empress Xiao is of course very fond of Jingwen, who can fairly evaluate her husband.

And Empress Xiao opened the letter and saw the text inside, explaining that the current emperor is a Ming Jun and a benevolent monarch, and he should not kill them. And Jingwen didn't make a guarantee, Jingwen just tried his best to give an example to show that Li Shimin was a benevolent gentleman, so that they could be relieved. And when Empress Xiao saw this letter, she finally sighed helplessly.

"Alright! We promise you that when you attack the city, we can send our forces to attack the garrison of the Turkic Khan. Empress Xiao said.

Qiao Shiwang knew that since Empress Xiao agreed, it shouldn't be a big problem. And Empress Xiao is the real core of the hearts of these old and young people in the Sui Dynasty, and Princess Yicheng is no longer their core. Because Princess Yicheng is trying to harm them! If they can defect to the Tang Dynasty, won't they be able to continue to be officials? But now they have been kidnapped by Princess Yicheng, and they really hate Princess Yicheng to death. If you can seize this opportunity to join the Tang Dynasty, then I am afraid you will be able to continue to be an official. Moreover, they knew that there were many old and young remnants of the Sui Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and they were not alone. At that time, Li Yuan set up a Sui Dynasty royal family as the emperor, which attracted many people to come. Although Li Shimin later became the emperor, the high-level figures also changed. But many of the real middle level of the court are the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, and they can help each other! Therefore, although defecting to the Tang Dynasty may not be as rich as in the past, it is at least much better than begging for a living under this Turkic subordinate!

"Queen!" Duguxin also wanted to dissuade him.

Empress Xiao said: "Xin'er, in fact, the Great Sui Dynasty had already died at the time of the Jiangdu Incident, why should we keep these unrealistic thoughts? You've been with me for years, and if it's normal, you should have gotten married a long time ago. But you are now twenty-two years old, and if you don't marry again, you will never be able to marry for the rest of your life. Since the Great Sui has already died, there is no need for you to follow the funeral. You don't have to follow me when you're done with this. ”

"Queen!"

"Needless to say, you should be ready to act after a while!"

"Yes!"

After receiving a positive answer from Empress Xiao, Qiao Shiwang and Duan Ye also left, still with the help of the pharmacy owner. And Qiao Shiwang went out to report the situation, and Duan Ye stayed in the city to help Empress Xiao convey the news because his martial arts were not bad. Because the Turks had cut off the transmission of news between Empress Xiao and those old and young, they could only rely on Duan Ye to pass the news through the guò snitch. (To be continued......)
