Chapter 758: Jieli's Determination
In the court of the Turkic Tieshan Khan, facing the corpse of the Turkic Luo Khan, the newly enthroned Jieli Khan, raised his knife and slashed it on the cheek. Immediately the cry sounded, and hundreds of Turkic nobles wept in unison, tears running across the blood stains on their faces and flowing down together.
This is the Turkic way of treating the dead, weeping and mourning.
Under the iron-fisted rule of the steppe, the rebels of the northern and southern parts of the steppe desert were almost slaughtered. The largest Xue Yantuo department in Mobei was almost razed by Zhuluo.
Chu Luo was known as a tyrant in the eyes of the steppe tribes, and later he used troops in the south of the country and folded under the Youjing City, which curbed the expansion of the Turks. And now that Chuluo is dead, the leaders of the tribes who came to attend the funeral of Chuluo, although they have a strong face and a Qi face, but they are spying on what kind of person the new Turkic khan is.
Will the new khan continue to rule the steppe tribes with an iron fist as the previous khan?
After the Khan had finished his weeping and sacrifice to the Gera, he stood up.
For the new Turkic Khan, the original Mohe and Ashina Tuo, there are many fewer people at the funeral of Luo Khan today. Because his nephew, the Tuli Khan, did not come! Not even a messenger was sent to offer condolences.
Jieli knew that the leaders of the various tribes in the distance, and even the leaders of the Mobei Tiele tribes, they were waiting for their disposal, and Tuli did not arrive, so he undoubtedly slapped himself in the face nakedly. As far as Jieli is concerned, if this matter cannot be dealt with by the harshest means, then the prestige that the Turks have built up in the steppe for nearly a hundred years will be lost.
Jieli raised his head and looked at the Golden Wolf Daxu. For the betrayers, the Turks have always had only one means of disposal. That's killing! However, before attacking the Turks, Jieli had to pacify the Turks. Win over the forces of the various ministries so that there will not be a second turbulence among them.
After crying and mourning, Jieli walked to Princess Yicheng, who was sitting in front of Princess Yicheng who was sitting in another big tent, and said, "Honorable Kedun! β
Jieli could see that Princess Yicheng was a little depressed, and for her, this was the departure of her third husband.
"Khan, what's the matter?"
Jieli smiled and said, "Kedun, I am the substitute for my brother. Become a Turkic Khan, then you also know that according to our Turkic customs, you should be my wife! β
When Princess Yicheng heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't explicitly object and just said, "Let's go a few days, after all, the first Khan's bones are not cold." β
Jieli nodded and said, "Ben Khan knows, but don't let me wait too long, you Han people have that set of etiquette." It's not worth mentioning in the eyes of Ben Khan, it's really not necessary here. β
Princess Yicheng bowed down and said, "Khan, I know what you mean, please prepare me." You won't have to wait long. β
Jieli laughed and said, "You are very smart and understand current affairs, you can rest assured." Ben Khan will continue to take care of your millions of Han people outside Cyprus and respect the rights of your Han people. Protect the property of your Han Chinese, and you can also sue sΓΉ. The empress of your niece Zhao in Youjing said that Ben Khan did not have the heart of invading the south and was willing to live in peace with Da Zhao, and that he would have the opportunity to go to Youjing in person one day to meet the emperor of Zhao. β
After finishing speaking, Ashina left with a long smile, Princess Yicheng left and right maids, and did not feel more grateful because of Jieli's last words, but showed a look of grief and indignation, a Han maid said to Princess Yicheng: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this thief was rude to you when the Khan was there, and offended you a lot, and today the Khan is gone, this person is even more unscrupulous." β
Princess Yicheng said lightly: "I don't know, but I didn't expect that when his brother was alive, this person was still respectful, and after his death, he was arrogant, obviously not the hero." Let's be patient for the time being, at the moment of Turkic civil strife, after Zhao broke the Jianghuai, the power has surpassed Jieli Khan, and I think the day when I endure humiliation in the Turks will not be too far away. β
When the maidservant heard this, she wept and said, "It's just that Her Royal Highness the princess has sacrificed too much." β
Princess Yicheng smiled and said lightly: "When I came to Saiwai, it was like a dream, and it has been twenty years since I dreamed!" β
A few days later, the Turkic Conference.
The powerful people of the Turkic family, Ye Hu, and the special service all gathered here, which was also the first time that Jieli Khan convened a meeting after inheriting the khan.
According to the long-standing habit of the Turks, Jieli sat facing south, and the rest of the Turkic leaders all sat in a circle around the big tent.
Jieli Khan said: "Since Ben Khan inherited the throne, Tuli has not come to Tieshan Khan's court to pay homage, and he has been summoned several times, but he has not come, what do you say that Ben Khan should take this Tuli?" β
"Since Tuli is not coming, we will bring him."
"That's right, there is only one khan on the steppe, and Tuli is too presumptuous!"
Jieli said this, and the Turkic leaders around him expressed their support for Jieli's disposal of Turki.
Jieli Khan looked at Zhao Yande and asked, "When the first Khan was here, he was very important to you, and Ben Khan also wanted to hear what you meant by sending troops to Zhao State?" β
Zhao Yande also had a white beard at this time, and when he was seriously ill, he had already served Jieli, but the new khan had never trusted him as much as the previous khan.
Now seeing Jieli personally asking him what he meant in front of so many people, Zhao Yande immediately said: "Khan, the reason why Tuli is so bold this time is that I think there must be Zhao Guo behind him to support him." With the Khan's current strength, it is not difficult to defeat Tuli, but to defeat Zhao, it is not possible now. β
As soon as Zhao Yande's voice fell, the Turkic leaders present shouted one after another.
"This Han dog actually said that we Turks can't beat Zhao State, isn't it a joke?"
"That's right, my Turkic people have been crisscrossing the grasslands for decades, and even the emperor of the Great Sui was besieged by us in Yanmen Pass, and now a mere Zhao State dares to compare with us?"
"Yes, I don't like this Han dog, you said that his surname is Zhao, and he is clearly a spy of Zhao State."
Since he was in Luo Khan, Zhao Yande has been so despised, so it has long been a habit for him.
Jieli Khan asked rhetorically: "According to what you say, if there is Zhao Guo, will we tolerate Tuli's existence?" With Zhao here, can't we Turks deal with traitors? β
Zhao Yande lowered his head and said, "The most noble khan on the grassland, I didn't mean that. β
"Of course I didn't mean that," Jieli said as he looked to the left and right, "If we Turks can't unite internally, how can we let the people of the Tiele tribes outside the tent also submit to us." Ben Khan would not tolerate the rebellion of the Turks, so I decided to lead a large army against the Turks! (To be continued......)
