"Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the father wants the son to die, the son has to die, since he has come back, then use his strength to fight and simply don't let him go, Anxi is sending someone over, anyway, he is just in charge of finances, and it is he who rebels, isn't there no rebellion in Anxi!"

Li Shimin didn't speak for a long time when he heard Zhao Hongen's plan, and after a while, he said thoughtfully: "Why didn't I find out that you could be so smart before, I only thought you were stupid and cute before, but I didn't expect you to be really bad, so bad to the bone!"

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, it is all your Majesty's good training" Zhao Hongen knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly corrected: "Your Majesty is mighty and sage, the little skill of the slave is just the skin, and Your Majesty's majestic strategy is the truth that has not changed since the ages."

"No, Lao Zhao, I heard that you are still scolding me! What kind of medicine do you say you sell in your gourd?"

Zhao Hongen snickered, and hurriedly dodged out: "The slave kneels down for Your Majesty, and the slave will go to do this."

After Zhao Hongen left, Li Shimin pondered for a while, then took out a pen and wrote a little bit on the paper, and felt dissatisfied and crossed it out.

An hour later, Zhao Hongen came to report that the matter had been done, but there was still one thing for Li Shimin to know.

Outside Chang'an City, Li Shimin only brought 20,000 iron horsemen and only wore plain clothes to the tent of the Dijin court.

"Tell your deputy commander to come to see me, I have something to tell him that if I am one step late, I will not be able to pardon your family!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like hearing Chu Ge when the overlord of Chu was embattled, some people hesitated to rebel with Di Jinting, some people simply put down their weapons and surrendered, and some people rushed into Di Jinting's camp Even if Di Jinting was unwilling to go out, they forced him out.

Seeing Di Jinting's slightly embarrassed appearance, Li Shimin ignored him at first, but waved his horsewhip and yelled at the few Anxi soldiers.

"Some of you are the old troops who followed me when they started from Jinyang, and some of you are the generals of the former Sui, you all have feelings for me, I also have feelings for you, and I am the same for you, let me ask, I have treated you badly in the past and now, you went to the border, how did I treat your family, and you are doing this now, are you worthy of your family's expectations and feelings!"

If Li Shimin's soft words just now have made some people give up following Di Jinting to rebel, then the current hard words are enough to make Di Jinting a bare-bones general.

With a stick of incense, there are less than a hundred cronies left around him. And these 100 people were also shot by Li Shimin's archers.

Di Jinting looked at the bleak lineup around him, and he suddenly laughed wildly when comparing Li Shimin's iron horse.

"Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you are worthy of being the Holy Lord of the Tang Dynasty and you really have a way of dealing with your subjects, and you are also worthy of being a ruthless character of your compatriots, and you will kill these innocent lives."

Li Shimin looked at Di Jinting arrogantly: "It's good to know, even if you know the current affairs, if you immediately kneel down and kowtow to me three times, I can consider taking it lightly, if not......"

"What if not?" Di Jinting hurriedly said: "What else can I do now, how can I be qualified to negotiate terms with the high-ranking Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but I have a condition I don't know if the emperor wants to hear it!"

"But it's okay, I want to hear what you think" Li Shimin seemed very interested, and arranged his sitting posture on horseback.

"If Your Majesty gives me half of the world, or divides the river with me to rule, then I will persuade the Western Turkic Khan to withdraw troops from the border and not harass the people of Anxi, I don't know if Your Majesty will agree to this condition!"

"I don't agree!" Li Shimin replied very simply, not at all: "Not only did I not agree to you, but I also regretted it, and I didn't plan to give you a light hair."

Di Jinting impatiently pointed at Li Shimin and shouted: "Li Shimin, are you worthy of talking to me about the conditions!" As long as there is an order, the Western Turkic Khan will sweep through the Tang Dynasty, and then your dragon chair will give way! ”

Li Shimin absentmindedly sorted out his clothes: "Unfortunately, an hour ago, I had already sent someone with a ribbon seal to take your place, maybe I would have gone back before they came!"

Di Jinting was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and took out a bloody human head from the tent.

"Are you talking about him? If you don't say that I'm about to forget about him, this person can't help but fight, and he was killed by me in a few clicks, it's really boring, Li Shimin, you really don't have anyone in your hands."

As he spoke, Di Jinting threw his head at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's horse was frightened and almost threw him off his horse.

Just when Di Jinting thought that he was sure of victory, Li Shimin came back to his senses, flew out with a bow and arrow in his hand, and an arrow was stuck on the ground in front of Di Jinting.

As soon as Di Jinting was about to humiliate Li Shimin and say that he couldn't shoot accurately, Li Shimin asked him to see what the arrow had missed.

It was an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter, which read.

"Desire Valley was set up as the Khan of Ebilu and lost the battle with Yuli, and there was no victory. So, with the Ile River as the boundary, the two sides divided the land and ruled"

Desire, the son of Ashina Shibi Khan, went to the Western Turks after the fall of the Eastern Turkic Khanate in 630, and established himself as the Ebilu Khan after 638.

Since the establishment of the valley, he and the Khan Ashina, who is also the loss of the khan, attacked each other and fought for control of Anxi, and in the end, no one agreed to the river and ruled by rowing.

Interestingly, in order to show favor to Tang before, he repeatedly paid tribute, and he dared to fight with Yuli completely with the tacit consent of Li Shimin.

That is to say, the place that Dijin Court can control in the Western Turks is now owned by Desire Valley, and Desire Valley is now only listening to Li Shimin, so Dikingting's deal fell through.

After reading the letter, Di Jinting tore it to pieces like crazy and howled at Li Shimin.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, this must be your Li Shimin's conspiracy, I don't believe it, a hundred don't believe it, ten thousand don't believe it!"

Seeing that Di Jinting had never given up, Li Shimin persuaded: "If Aiqing doesn't believe it, you can go back and have a look, but it's useless for you to go back, Qiao Shiwang has already taken over all the people in your place, what do you say you can do when you go back, and if you don't have capital in your hands, will the Khan listen to you or listen to me?"

Di Jinting knew that he was exhausted today, he immediately got on his horse and wanted to escape, but before leaving, he said to Li Shimin: "Wait until I go back to see what is going on, if it is true, I will come back to make amends to Your Majesty, if it is false, I will appease the Western Turkic tribes and not cause chaos."

said that, he slapped the horse and ran, but Li Shimin never gave him a chance again anyway, and flew out an arrow and shot it in the back of Di Jinting's heart, and Di Jinting fell off his horse and died on the spot.

Li Shimin didn't seem to understand the hatred, pointed to his corpse, gritted his teeth, and said: "The person who gets the corpse of Di Jinting will be rewarded with a thousand gold."

With an order, everyone flocked to dismantle Di Jinting, one of them went late, and didn't get anything, only got a letter in Di Jinting's arms, and when he gave it to Li Shimin, the letter was already wet with blood, and he only vaguely saw Li Jiancheng's three words.

Everything is related to Li Jiancheng, which made Li Shimin not care at first, but one by one, even the little Di Jinting dared to go against him, which had to make him pay attention to it.

Back in Chang'an Palace, Li Shimin immediately ordered the Di family to be beheaded, of course, Di Xianneng was also among the people who wanted to behead, but Ji Yanli left him alive in front of Li Shimin.

"Di Xianneng once humiliated and humiliated you like that, and you still threatened him with his life, don't you hate him?"

"Of course I hate it, but ......" Ji Yanli said happily: "Since they are all men, then we have to end all this in a man's way, and he will not be cheaper if he dies so easily!"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I really can't see that you are really young and will be repaid!"

Everyone knew that Di Jinting rebelled and was killed, so no one took Di Xianneng as a person, and his colleagues who had been bullied by him before even worsened and abused him, and now Di Xianneng can be described as a person or a ghost, and even the knife handed to him by Ji Yanli can't hold it steadily.

After three beatings and two blows, Di Xian, who had not eaten for several days and had no strength, knelt on the ground and prayed that Ji Yanli could give him a happy life and end his miserable life.

Ji Yanli squatted in front of him and looked at his embarrassed appearance, sighed, and said seriously: "It is said that people are not frivolous and mischievous, and there is nothing wrong with being frivolous, but frivolity does not mean that there is no one in your eyes, you rely on your father to be an important minister of the court, so you don't leave a way out for yourself at all, so that you are in this situation today, why do you say you are suffering!"

Di Xianneng cried and hugged Ji Yanli's thigh and pleaded: "I know it's wrong, Uncle Ji, Grandpa Ji, Dad Ji, you see, for the sake of our childhood acquaintance, leave me a way out!" I...... I don't want to die yet."

Ji Yanli looked at Di Xianneng who knelt on his feet like a dog and licked himself with disdain.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, although you especially make me hate you, make me want to kill you, but you also make me very grateful, if it weren't for you breaking my peachwood sword on the day I was ten years old, the story behind it doesn't seem so exciting"

Although Di Xianneng didn't understand what Ji Yanli said again, he knew that he finally didn't have to die, but he was just going to be sent to Bazhou, and he was not allowed to return to Chang'an within 30 years, Di Xianneng immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank Ji Yanli for his life.

After all, isn't it better to be alive than anything else!

Letter XVI, second line

"Anxi deputy jiedu makes Di Jinting always have the heart to rebel against the imperial court, his ambition is not small but the strength is weak, he can use his ambition to achieve his own goals, if I am in the palace, I will write a letter to tell him that he should collude with the Turks to force the emperor to submit, and then tell Zhao Hongen his own countermeasures to let him reach the emperor's ears.

Zhao Hongen has no ink on weekdays, and the emperor will naturally doubt his idea, but he doesn't have to jump out immediately and admit that he has to try a few more times to hang the emperor's appetite, and the emperor will let me go, and things will be easier to handle in the future! ”

Cai Yi closed the letter halfway through and hid her face in contemplation, and after a while, someone came to report.

"Sister Caiyi, someone claims to be called Ji Yanli, the protector of Qianniuwei, and there is something wrong with you, do you see it or not?"

Cai Yi didn't want to see it at first, but Li Jiancheng wrote in his letter that she wanted to use all the people she could, and she had no choice, so she had to go to see Ji Yanli in order to avenge her "father".

After Ji Yanli saw Caiyi, he hugged her in his arms and said gently: It's been so long since we were separated, I miss you so much!
