Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 183 Confrontation

Ashina Muyun's words directly shocked the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, everyone didn't know what Ashina Muyun was talking about, in their opinion, this war with the Turks was completely the result of the Turks' active provocation, how did he get to this Jinluan Palace, and let him bite back.

The official reacted the fastest, pointed at Ashina Muyun and scolded: "Hugh is talking nonsense, for many years, my Tang Dynasty has always treated you Turks with courtesy, how can you think that the Turks are so wolfish and ambitious, and even bite back!" ”

As soon as the official said this, the civil ministers and military generals present all showed a bad look, after all, the Tang Dynasty has not treated the Turks with courtesy in recent years, and every year they have given food to the Turks to help them survive the cold winter, and no one dared to mention such a humiliating thing in front of Li Shimin.

Ashina Muyun looked at this bearded official and asked rhetorically: "That's right, the Tang Dynasty has always treated our Turks with courtesy for many years, and even gave us food every winter, otherwise our Turkic people don't know how much they will starve to death over the years." ”

Speaking of this, Ashina Muyun looked at the official with angry eyes and said: "You said such a good Datang, why should we provoke for no reason, and make trouble out of nothing!" You say! ”

The counselor was frightened by Ashina Muyun's momentum, and his brain couldn't react for a while, and he didn't say anything for a long time with his mouth open.

On the contrary, Chen Lao, who suddenly recovered from his illness, said angrily: "Who knows what you, a Turk, think, Hugh is talking nonsense, if you can't come up with evidence, Hugh blames me for being ruthless." ”

Li Shimin looked at the quarrel below, and also stopped: "The Six Turkic Princes, what did you mean by what you said just now, what do you mean that this battle originated from my Tang Dynasty?" ”

Ashina Muyun finally waited for Li Shimin to ask, only to see him sweep around the Wenchen behind him, and finally saw Changsun Chong with his head down in the corner, and then Ashina Muyun pointed to Changsun Chong and said: "It's all because of him, the young master of Changsun Mansion, the concubine of Princess Changle, Changsun Chong!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was even more surprised, Changsun Chong was not used to go to the early dynasty as a concubine, but today he also came to see it in order to come over to have a good time, so Zhao Zhao's people also told Ashina Muyun for the first time that Changsun Chong came to the early court today.

I've seen the portrait of Changsun Chong for a long time, and Changsun Chong is too eye-catching in this group of crooked melons and cracked dates, and it's even more difficult to pretend that he can't see him.

Ashina Muyun's words made everyone hesitate, there is nothing more exciting than face-to-face accountability, especially one is a prince who has never left the Turks, and the other is the most bullish concubine in the Tang Dynasty, and the two of them confronted each other in front of Li Shimin.

The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to speak, although the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling took the initiative to ask for help in the disaster, but Li Shimin could not leave the entire Chang'an unguarded, so he still decided to leave the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was watching the excitement at this time, but the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but say angrily: "Huangkou child, full of nonsense, my son has always kept to himself, how can he be the one who provoked the war between the two countries!" ”

The officials who were close to the eldest grandson Wuji also immediately came out to echo it, especially Gao Shilian, as the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji, Gao Shilian also had a very important right to speak in the court.

I saw that Gao Shilian also looked at Ashina Muyun with an angry face: "You thief, I'm afraid that I didn't come to Datang to ask for peace, but to provoke!" ”

Gao Shilian's words were to define Ashina Muyun's words just now, as long as Ashina Muyun couldn't come up with substantive evidence, they naturally had a way to make him swallow his words back.

Eldest Sun Wuji also looked back at the confused Eldest Sun Chong, wanting to see from his face whether he had anything to do with this matter, but under the confused look on Eldest Sun Chong's face, Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't see what the situation was, so he could only deny it.

In fact, for so many years, Changsun Chong has been making small moves behind his back, and Changsun Wuji knows it, but his son is now closer to those clans in Jiangnan than himself, and in these old days, Sun Wuji also intends to hand over his own affairs to Changsun Chong to deal with, which leads to emergencies, and Changsun Wuji can't determine whether this matter is related to Changsun Chong.

Ashina Muyun heard someone questioning him, and roughly guessed the identities of the two, but at this time, he was in his chest, and he saw him take out the jade plate that was handed over to him from his sleeve, holding the jade plate in both hands and Li Shimin said: "Your Majesty, this jade plate was found by my subordinates from the dead guards, and please ask the emperor to know it!" ”

Li Shimin looked at the jade plate and looked familiar, and after making a look, the old eunuch on the side walked over and took the jade card.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian also saw the appearance of this jade plaque, and the two of them were most familiar with this jade plaque, at this time they had already believed Ashina Muyun's words, although they did not know what Changsun Chong was doing, but they still decided to find a way to solve the problem in front of them, otherwise it would not be as simple as Changsun Chong being punished alone.

Changsun Chong looked at the familiar jade plate and was also a little confused, the subordinates who had their own jade cards were all staying in Chang'an, so where did Ashina Muyun's jade plate come from? Could it be that there is an inner ghost under his hands?

Li Shimin took the jade plate from the old eunuch's hand and looked at it carefully, and only after a while did he hand the jade card to the old eunuch, and did not look at Ashina Muyun, but asked the eldest grandson Wuji: "Zhao Guogong, come over and take a look, is this the jade plate of your eldest grandson's family!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji took the jade plate, looked at it carefully, and finally nodded and said: "Emperor Qiqi, this jade plate is indeed my eldest grandson's family, and the eldest grandson rushed to you to explain it to the emperor!" ”

The eldest grandson Chong saw that his father had confirmed the jade plate, and he also stepped forward with a suspicious face, only to see him staring at Ashina Muyun, and after confirming that he had not seen this person, he said righteously: "Father Qi, Erchen really doesn't know why the Turkic prince framed me, Erchen and he have never met, and please ask my father to investigate!" ”

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, turned his head to look at Ashina Muyun and said, "The horse said that he had never seen you, how should you explain what you said before!" ”

Ashina Muyun looked at Changsun Chong, and then said with some grievances: "Emperor Qiqi, I still need to start from the beginning, and please ask the emperor to give me some time!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, anyway, today was originally to deal with his affairs, naturally everything had to start from the beginning, thinking of this Li Shimin said: "You talk carefully, remember not to try to deceive me." ”

Ashina Muyun nodded, and then said directly: "Last winter, although we Turks accepted assistance from Datang, the food was still not enough, so we thought that those cattle and sheep would come to Datang to exchange for some food. ”

Speaking of this, Ashina Muyun looked at the eldest grandson on the side with some anger and said: "It was him, who came to the Turks with a large amount of grain and found us, but he claimed to be a subordinate of His Royal Highness King Wu of the Tang Dynasty at that time. ”

Ashina Muyun's words shocked everyone, especially Li Shimin, who had always been suspicious of King Wu's death, and when King Chu insisted that King Wu was still alive, Li Shimin was even more convinced that King Wu was not dead.

Ashina Muyun looked at everyone with a shocked face, and then said: "He claims to be a subordinate of His Royal Highness King Wu, and he has come to us for a long-term business, and he hopes to exchange grain for our cattle and sheep, and if he can, he also wants to exchange some horses every year. ”

"Naturally, our khan is willing to make an exchange with him, and the cattle and sheep are also used for food in our place, and it is also a good thing for us to exchange them for enough food. So we signed a document of cooperation, and then the Khan sent the five princes, Ashina Gale Wind, to the Tang Dynasty to make a deal with them! ”

Ashina Galewind? Hearing this name, Li Shimin hesitated, he felt as if he had heard this name in the past two days, the old eunuch saw Li Shimin's doubts, and hurriedly leaned over and said: "A few days ago, Commander Li said that a corpse was found in a courtyard outside the palace, which is said to be the corpse of the five Turkic princes, Ashina Galewind!" ”

Li Shimin suddenly realized, but only heard Ashina Muyun continue: "But who knows that the fifth brother is not doing business in Chang'an, but was framed by thieves and lost his life in vain, and all the cattle, sheep and horses he brought were also pocketed by this villain." ”

Speaking of this, Ashina Muyun said with some annoyance: "After the fifth brother was killed, the guards who accompanied the fifth brother to Chang'an touched the palace of King Wu and forced King Wu to write a confession, and then burned His Royal Highness King Wu to death, and then they found a cellar to hide. ”

Ashina Muyun's eyes were already red, and he pointed at Changsun Chong and said angrily: "But when everything was calm, the fifth brother's guards ran out, and they unexpectedly found that the people who greeted them and negotiated terms with them were not the people of King Wu, but the people of the Changsun family, so they killed the commander, took the jade pendant and returned to the Turks, and told me about it." ”

After Ashina Muyun's words were finished, the eldest grandson Chong looked at Ashina Muyun, still thinking about who he had offended, he really hadn't done anything in the past few days, it was hard to imagine who had such great ability to instruct the six princes of the Turks to come all the way to Chang'an and risk his life to frame himself.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, the confession letter that Ashina Muyun said, only Li Shimin and Li Junxian have seen it, Li Shimin is afraid of the royal image, and in his heart at that time, King Wu is dead, there is no need to discredit King Wu, so he did not delve into it.

At this time, when I heard Ashina Muyun mention this letter, I couldn't help but believe Ashina Muyun's words a little, after all, if it wasn't for someone who had experienced this incident, it would be impossible to say about this letter, plus the people in Wu Wangfu said that it was the Turks' hands, and the Turks themselves admitted it at this moment, what reason is there not to believe it?
