Chapter 642: The Northern Khan from the Western Turks
Kouslao II was ostensibly successful, but his successive campaigns depleted the Sassanid Empire's funds and military strength. In order to replenish the treasury, Cousin II levied heavy taxes on his people. The Roman Emperor Jacques Chirac saw an opportunity to mobilize the only resources of the empire to form an army to counterattack. During these years, Heraclius defeated the Persians in Asia Minor and the Caucasus, plundered the Zoroan temple in Takht Suleiman, and won the support of the Khazars and the Western Turks.
And the Western Turks also began to act against Persia. And in addition to the strong enemies outside the Persia, what they didn't expect was that Muhammad, the buddy, was wielding the Koran, eroding and assimilating a large number of Persians.
The strength of the Western Turks has caused the Persians to suffer setbacks again and again, and many of the territories in Central Asia have been swallowed up and stripped alive by the Western Turks, but the center of gravity of the Western Turks is not Central and Western Asia, otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of the Persians, in front of the Turks, I am afraid that it will not last long and will be wiped out.
And this old man Gederot is a very famous singer in Persia, but when his hometown was occupied by the Turks, he decided to go to peaceful China with his son who was doing business, and he was not willing to be lonely, so after staying in Chang'an for a while, he simply went to this restaurant to sing when he was bored.
And just now, the Turk thought that his singing voice was very beautiful, and asked him to sing it, and he naturally did not have a good impression of the Turks, so he pretended to be sick and excused himself, but when he was singing to the others, he happened to be heard by this Turkic Tutun, and the scene I just saw happened.
"I see......" Ben Gongzi nodded, his eyes falling on the Turkic Khan, who was kneeling on the floor, his eyes moving viciously back and forth between the old man of Persia and me.
"Are you the khan of the Western Turkic Khanate?" I looked at the Turkic khan and asked curiously. When I listened to this old man, I remembered that there were indeed many Khans of the Turks, but they were all small Khans.
The supreme rulers of the khanates established by the ancient North Asian nomadic peoples such as Rouran, Turkic, Tuyuhun, Tiele Uighur, Gaochang Uighur, Tiele, Khitan, and Mongol were all called khans. Originally, this title was the honorific title given to the leader by the general tribe in the tribe, and the Xianbei language was called "Kehan", which originally meant "god" and "heaven". The title of Khan, as the lord of a country, first began in 402 A.D., when the leader of Rouran, Shekun, unified Mobei, and called himself Qiudoufa Khan.
The Turkic "khans" differed in size and size. The supreme head of state is called "Khan" (Qaghan), also known as "Great Khan". "Khans" can divide their children into a number of "little khans". The title of the son is long, but it is different from that of the subject country.
It's just that I don't know which little khan this guy is, to be honest, there are a lot of little khans of the Turks, just the Eastern Turks, there are six little khans, and the Western Turks are said to have almost ten little khans.
The creature struggled to hold his head high, as if to maintain his bravery and pride as a Turk. "Of course, I am Ashnarjin, the seventh son of the Khan of Sheku, the northernmost khan of the Great Turkic Khanate."
"Ashnar today?" Ashina is the surname of the Turkic Khan, which means pale wolf eyes, and Ashina mostly has the characteristics of a broad-faced and blue-eyed race. And this guy's eyes are indeed green and faint, but that face, no matter how you look at it, I feel a little crazy, and I think it means a wide face.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a fool with a swollen face, and I really can't see where this guy has the vigor and ferocity of a wolf.
"Yes, I came to see your emperor on the orders of the greatest leader of the Great Turkic Khanate, who is rich all over the world and has traveled all over the world with iron hooves." Seeing Ben Gongzi's puzzled expression, this guy pouted with a very disdainful expression, and then continued very arrogantly.
"See me? Well, see our emperor? Ben Gongzi almost slipped out.
The guy nodded proudly, then glanced at the few men around him who were unable to move, and threatened with some disgrace: "So, you'd better let Ben Khan go...... Well, the humiliation of this Khan can not be corrected in the past, otherwise, if your emperor knows the truth......"
"What will happen if you know the truth?" I haven't replied yet, my mother-in-law, Yaoguang, asked what I was thinking with an excited face, but it was just that the husband and wife were of the same heart, and even the curious thoughts were exactly the same.
"Humph! Do you Han people think that the millions of iron horsemen of my Great Turkic Khanate cannot drink Guanzhong? The guy gave me a wrecked look, and then continued to threaten me viciously.
Well, my mother-in-law's fists and kicks just now seemed to make him feel empty, and he probably thought that I, a civilized person, would speak a little better.
When he heard this, the old Persian's face became paler and paler, and he was about to catch up with the color of his beard. Ben Gongzi gently patted the old man's shoulder and looked at this guy with a smile. "Tong Ye Hu is asking you to threaten me Huaxia?"
"You don't need to know the truth." Ashinar has a stalk on his neck today, and he looks very hard, and he almost laughs out loud when he sees this son, this stupid boy is so naïve.
"Li Yuanfang, tell this northern khan of the Great Turkic Khanate who I am." I tilted my head at Li Yuanfang, and then I was very interested to see this guy first confused, then shocked, and then, like a hippopotamus that was about to be hung by a neck, his eyes and mouth were stretched to the extreme.
"You, you are the honorable Emperor of the Chinese Empire?" The old man from Persia was also dumbfounded, and looked at me with a straight gaze, and then stammered for a while.
After bowing slightly at the old man, my eyes fell on Ashnarjin's body. "What do you think will happen if I tell the news?"
Although I was still smiling, very kind, and very kind, I could see that Ashnar was sweating profusely on his face. Of course, Ben Gongzi didn't forget to pat his mother-in-law's ass. He turned his head to look at Sister Yaoguang. "This woman who cleaned up your guards is my wife, Her Royal Highness the Empress of the Chinese Empire."
After Ashnar's eyes rolled for a long time, he grinned and showed a rather ugly smile: "It turned out to be the heroine who defeated the first warrior of the Eastern Turks, no wonder, losing in your hands, Ashnar is not wronged today." ”
Well, he also knows how to put gold on his face, it seems that this guy is thick-skinned and a little cunning, which is worthy of being a good material for being an envoy.
I haven't been off for the past two days and haven't gone to work, so it's not surprising that this guy came to Chang'an.
"Since it's such a trivial matter, then forget it, old man Gedero, you go back and rest, come on, go and tell the shopkeeper, don't be embarrassed for old man Gedero, otherwise, he doesn't want to do business in Chang'an City."
The old man Gedero slowly stepped back with a grateful face, and I turned my head and my eyes fell on Ashinar Jin's body, and I saw that this guy was furious in his heart, and looked at me with a frightened look, as if he was afraid that this son would suddenly jump forward and slaughter him.
However, although he is pretending, it also shows that he is very face-saving, besides, such a big thing, if this son doesn't come forward today, maybe nothing will happen.
"How about you compensate for the damage to this restaurant? As for the old man, how about giving him fifty as an apology? I slowly paced up to him and said lightly.
"Well, there are also mistakes in you, and you are willing to give these compensations." The guy was very knowledgeable and nodded.
I waved my hand, and the disguised big man let go of his hand one after another, allowing Ashnarjin's subordinates to get space to move, but these guys didn't dare to be as arrogant as Fang Cai anymore, and honestly squatted behind Ashinaerjin's ass with a dejected look.
turned around, took the slightly cool hand of Yaoguang's sister Bai Yu, and walked towards the outside of the private room.
Seeing this, Ashnar couldn't help but shout: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Central Plains, Ashnar is here to get a glimpse of ...... on the order of my Great Khan."
I paused at the door of the private room, turned around, and waved at Ashnarjin. "If you want to get a glimpse of me, you should follow the rules of my Huaxia Empire. In addition, please restrain yourself a little in my Chang'an City, today, fortunately, I met you, otherwise, if you fall into the hands of those patrols or Praetorian Guard patrols, maybe you can be unharmed, but these subordinates of yours are afraid that they will have to stay in prison for three or five years before they can come out. Do you understand? ”
Ignoring this guy anymore, he took his mother-in-law's hand and strode out.
And the Yaoguang girl was in a very good mood, humming a song, and she was as happy as a white spirit walking through the cherry trees. "Why is the lady so happy?"
"Because I was very happy today, I not only tasted a meal with my husband, enjoyed a very refreshing song and dance, but also cleaned up those few unsightly Turkic barbarians." The Yaoguang girl smiled and said, her thick eyelashes were bent into a lovely arc, her pretty face was beautiful, her cheeks were slightly red, and her red lips were even more gorgeous and attractive.
"But lady, don't make a move so quickly next time, right? A husband is not a powerless nerd. Ben Gongzi tightened his hand and smiled again.
Yaoguang girl smiled and didn't answer, but looking at her eyes, it means that even if your aunt and grandmother let you have two hands, you can't be as fast as me. is not only full of contempt, but also a bit of flirtation and provocation, rely on it!
Tragedy, Ben Gongzi, who was despised by his mother-in-law, could only walk out of the hall of the restaurant with a depressed face, and at this moment, the snow seemed to have become bigger again.
The confused snow fluttered one after another, scattered on his face, bringing a trace of coolness, so that Ben Gongzi, who had just walked out of the restaurant and was feverish, couldn't help but clear his mind.
"It's been a day and a night, hasn't it?" I couldn't help but frown as I watched the sanitation cleaners struggling to shovel a thick foot of snow to the side of the road with a shovel.
