178, hob meat envoy (above)
This time, Jingwen was brought to Dingxiang County under the protection of the Turkic princess Ashinayun and his princess guards, and this Dingxiang county was somewhat dilapidated, because the Turks were not good at governing this kind of city. And Jingwen was a little sad to see it, this is his own fiefdom! The fact that his fiefdom had fallen into such a situation made Jingwen a little helpless.
"What's wrong with you?" Ashinayun asked.
"My title is Dingxiang County male, what do you think I will think when I see this dilapidated city?" Jingwen asked.
Ash Nayun didn't continue to ask, because she knew that this matter was not so easy to solve. This is a matter of the Turkic "territory" issue, not to mention the southern capital of the Turks, there are simply no conditions to talk about. Therefore, Ashina Yun is also helpless. Although Ashinayun is a princess, even if she is a princess, she is just a woman in the Turks. For this kind of nomadic people, a woman is of very low status, even if she is a princess. Ashina Yun can be where he is today, thanks to the fact that he has a good father, which is the reason why he can be so free.
And Jingwen, as well as Zhao Boyan as the deputy envoy, were taken to the so-called "palace" by Ashinayun. This is a country established by the Turks with the support of the old and young of the Sui Dynasty, and the imperial palace and hundreds of officials are all the same number. However, the actual power is in the hands of the Turks, and this remnant of the Sui Dynasty has no power at all.
And Liu Qing rested in the post house provided by the Turks, and they would not be summoned by the Khan. Because the head of state of a country will only summon the chief and deputy envoys, and will not meet all the members of the envoys once. After all, people are also in charge of everything. It's good to be able to meet the chief and deputy envoys.
Ash Nayun took Jingwen and Zhao Boyan into the "Imperial Palace", surrounded by murderous Turkic guards. And this one though is the royal palace. However, the specific size is not as large as one-thousandth of the Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty. As a large hall, it is only equivalent to more than seventy or eighty square meters. It is far worse than the main hall of Taiji Palace, and it is not even as good as Li Shimin's study.
"Bring the envoys of the Tang Dynasty!" A eunuch eunuch said.
And Jingwen walked into the main hall and found a middle-aged man in his forties, nearly fifty years old, sitting in the front seat, and a middle-aged woman about forty years old on the left. As for the middle-aged man's right, there was a young boy about nine years old, wearing a yellow robe.
And Jingwen looked at this situation and guessed their identities. The middle-aged man was Jieli Khan, and the middle-aged woman was Kedun. That is, Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty. And that nine-year-old boy is the last "emperor" of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Zhengdao. Now Jingwen is going to meet the Khan.
"Shi Jingwen, the servant in the Tang Dynasty envoy palace, has seen His Majesty the Turkic Khan, and has seen His Royal Highness Kedun!" Jingwen said.
After Jingwen said this, he didn't say anything. But the princess of Kedun Yicheng frowned, obviously very dissatisfied.
"You seem to have forgotten to see my Emperor of the Great Sui, Your Majesty?" Princess Kedun Yicheng asked.
And Jingwen "seems" to find the little boy at this time, and then said suspiciously: "Emperor of the Great Sui? Why haven't I heard that there are any other emperors of the Great Sui in this world? Didn't the Sui Dynasty give the throne to the Tang Emperor? What's going on with this Great Sui Emperor? ”
"You!" But Princess Dun Yicheng was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Jingwen is absolutely pretending to be stupid, he doesn't recognize what he says, this is obviously pretending to be stupid. Although this little boy is only nine years old. But it's also a person, and he's sitting on the chair. Jing Wen obviously deliberately ignored him just now and did not salute. And Princess Yicheng has always wanted to revive the Great Sui, but now she was slapped by Jingwen.
"Li Tang is rebellious. It's a usurper! You have quickly met my Emperor of the Great Sui, and the Emperor of the Great Sui may spare your life! Princess Kedun Yicheng said.
But Jingwen knew that he would never be able to salute. Because once to the boy with respect for the etiquette of the emperor. I'm afraid that even if Princess Yicheng doesn't kill him, I'm afraid Li Shimin will kill him. There cannot be two kings in a country. There is no country but the Lord, and now the Han people are inside. can only adopt the imperial etiquette for Li Shimin, but not for others. If you use the etiquette of the emperor for other Han people, it is acknowledging that other Han people are emperors, which is disloyal to the emperor. There is no such problem with Jieli, because Jieli is also a foreign monarch and will not shoot Han Chinese.
Moreover, this one still involves a question of orthodoxy. The Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty, which was the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. And the emperors were very taboo about this orthodox issue, and the fall of the Sui Dynasty was certain. Therefore, if Jingwen salutes this little boy with the etiquette of the emperor, it is probably an admission that the Sui Dynasty has not yet perished, and the Sui Dynasty is still orthodox. You can't do this kind of stupid thing, or you're going to die. Therefore, Jingwen, who doesn't know much about politics, knows this problem.
"Okay, if you don't salute the emperor of my Great Sui, you will despise my Great Sui! Come, leave this usurper's rebel behind and behead it for public display! Princess Kedun Yicheng said.
"Yes!" Immediately a guard shouted.
At this time, Jieli said: "Slow! ”
The guards immediately stopped, because although Princess Yicheng was Kedun, Jieli Khan was the real ruler, and Jieli Khan's orders were obviously more useful than Kedun's. Therefore, Jieli Khan's order was carried out, and those guards did not continue to grab Jingwen and behead him at all. And Jingwen was also fearless just now, because Jingwen knew that someone would definitely come out to stop him.
"No, no, please pull me down and cut me!" Jingwen suddenly came up with such a sentence.
Jingwen's words immediately surprised the Turks around him, and Zhao Boyan, who was beside Jingwen, didn't expect Jingwen to say such a thing.
Jingwen actually took the initiative to "find death", isn't this surprising? Everyone thought that Jingwen had lost his heart and went crazy, and he actually took the initiative to beg for death. Who in this world would take the initiative to seek death? But when Jingwen actually ordered Jieli to stop him, he persuaded Jieli to pull him down and cut him down, which was surprising at this time.
And a middle-aged Turk next to him asked Ashinayun next to him, "What's going on with him?" You don't have a lot of praise for this kid, but why is he so crazy? ”
Ash Nayun also smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either! (To be continued......)
