0961 Turkic Marriage Proposal

In addition to having a far-reaching impact in the country, such a big event as the change of the court of the Western Wei Dynasty has also attracted the attention of the surrounding friendly or hostile forces.

Not to mention the Northern Qi Dynasty, which negotiated peace with the Western Wei Dynasty a few years ago, after Li Tai entered the dynasty, the first to arrive in Chang'an were envoys from the Turks. It's just that the arrival of the Turkic envoys along the way does not seem to be for congratulations, but more like accountability.

At the beginning, in the middle of the month, an official from Jingzhou sent an envoy to Beijing to inform that a Turkic envoy had entered Beijing to seek entry, and Li Tai immediately sent an envoy north to pick up the Turkic envoys. But what happened next was a big surprise, the Turkic envoy did not stay in Jingzhou to wait for guidance, but left Jingzhou without permission and came from Guanzhong.

When Li Tai learned of this, he was indignant in his heart, and even sent all the generals to go north along the Jingshui River, guarding the key points on land and water, and at the same time searching the whereabouts of the Turkic envoys. After some searching, the whereabouts of the Turkic envoy were discovered in the suburbs dozens of miles north of Xianyang.

There were more than 1,000 Turkic envoys along the way, and after entering the country, they not only acted without authorization, but also ran rampant, and there were many nuisances to the counties along the way.

Li Tai only learned about these circumstances after the fact, and after determining the whereabouts of the Turkic envoys at that time, he even appointed the former minister of the Chinese and foreign governments who was responsible for contacting the Turks, Wei Dizhi, to negotiate, which could be regarded as leading this team of Turkic envoys to Chang'an.

The Western Wei Dynasty and the Turks began to contact each other from a very early stage, the original Western Wei was friendly with Rouran, and the Yuan Bao Torch of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty in order to maintain diplomatic relations with each other, even abolished the original queen Yi Fu and married Princess Rouran, but this Princess Rouran did not live long, and died soon after marrying into the Western Wei Dynasty. Later, the relationship between the two sides became delicate, coupled with the efforts of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to repair, Gao Huan even married Princess Worm, which made Rouran and the Eastern Wei Dynasty befriend.

In order to gain new allies in the north, the Western Wei Dynasty focused on the Turks, who were still slaves at that time, and sent envoys to communicate with each other, which lasted between the eleventh and twelfth years of the Great Unification, and interacted closely with each other.

Soon after, the Turks had an excellent opportunity to grow. At that time, the Tiele tribes were dissatisfied with Rouran's brutal rule, so they gathered to attack Rouran, but they were stabbed in the back by Ashina Tumen and were defeated, and the Tiele tribes were also annexed by the Turks, so the Turkic power was greatly strengthened.

Ashina Tumen not only annexed the Tiele tribes, strengthened himself, but also solved a great danger for Rouran, and thought that he had made a great contribution, so he sent an envoy to propose marriage to Rouran in order to elevate his status and influence, which led to the famous reply of Rouran Khan Anapu: "You are my forging slave, how dare you speak yes!"

Ashina Tumen, who was rejected for marriage, thus embarked on the road of thirty years of counterattack in Hexi and Mo to bully the old and poor, completely cut off contact with Rouran and proposed to the Western Wei, and the Western Wei Dynasty also married the Changle princess Yuan to Tumen. When Emperor Wen's ingots torch died, Ashina Tumen also sent a horse to mourn for his father-in-law.

A few years ago, Ashina Tumen led his troops to defeat Rouran, and Rouran Khan Anapu committed suicide in defeat, and his troops were also divided, and the Turks became the north of the desert, and Ashina Tumen also established the Turkic Khanate, calling himself Ili Khan. But after the turn of the year, Ashina Tumen died, and the Khan was inherited by his son, and his eldest son died soon after, and now the reigning is the second son Ashina Jin, that is, the Khan of the wooden pole.

The relationship between the Western Wei and the Turks was also quite profound, but as the Turkic power grew stronger, the strength and status of each other gradually became unequal. And because the Western Wei Dynasty had angered the Turks by taking in the remnants of Rouran Deng Shuzi and his people, the Turkic envoys came directly to Chang'an and ordered Yuwentai to hand over the remnants of Rouran, and then they were even more frenzied and beheaded directly outside Chang'an City.

In order to obtain the help of the Turks and send troops together to attack the Northern Qi, Yuwentai also swallowed his anger and put himself in a relatively weak position in the interaction between them. It is precisely for this reason that the Turkic envoys dared to be so presumptuous after coming to Guanzhong, not only because of their own strength, but also because they were used to it.

Li Tai was unhappy with the Turkic envoy's behavior in his heart, but he also knew in his heart that the current situation was not suitable for the time being, so he couldn't control his temper and collapsed with the Turkic envoy

He first arranged for Wei Dizhi and other diplomats to negotiate with the Turkic envoys, probe the situation, and then think about how to deal with it.

In the evening, after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the faces of Di Zhi and the others were a little unpleasant, which showed that these Turkic masters were not very easy to serve.

The leader of the Turkic envoys who came to Chang'an this time has a good identity, and it is said that he is the uncle of the current Turkic wooden pole khan, called Meng Yehu. But this is not the point, the point is that this Meng Yehu was following the Turkic army to attack the Northern Qi, but he suffered a defeat, and was sent to Chang'an as soon as he withdrew from the front line of the battle with the Northern Qi.

In this way, it is no wonder that his people are so angry, before the Western Wei and Turks made an appointment to march, one south and one north to attack the Northern Qi. However, the early battle here in the Western Wei Dynasty was unfavorable, and although Li Tai turned defeat into victory in the later period, Li Tai would not take these circumstances into account, because he was busy returning to Guanzhong to settle the chaos, so he shook hands with the Northern Qi and then withdrew his troops directly.

Gao Yang, the lord of Qi, was in a state of self-indignation, and after the end of the Heluo War, the Jinyang side had no restraint, and even arranged for the elite to go out of the Great Wall of Beishan to attack the Turks. Caught off guard, the Turks were defeated outside the Great Wall of Beishan, and it is estimated that the wooden pole Khan also became more and more angry the more he thought about it, so he sent an envoy to Chang'an on the way to reprimand the Western Wei for not speaking of faith.

"Please tell the Turkic envoys for me, I don't know much about the former foreign ministers and schemes, and the situation in the country at that time was not optimistic, so the plan was not thorough and failed to coordinate the advance and retreat. As an apology, you can give away the goods as compensation. If there is a similar incident in the coming year, we must communicate more to avoid misunderstandings."

People's temper is also proportional to strength, Li Tai also does not want to ruin the diplomatic relations with the Turks at the beginning of his ascension, he does not have such a thick family background as the Northern Qi Dynasty can learn from Gao Yang's powerful Huo Huo, the use of these personnel forces in his hands still has to pay attention to a step-by-step order, there is no need to make such a friendly and strong state for several years for the sake of a momentary mood.

However, after listening to his statement, the sadness on their faces did not subside much, which immediately made Li Tai's heart sink, and even even frowned and said, "Could it be that the question raised by the Turkic envoy is too arrogant and rude?"

"Qi Tang Gong, when the Chinese and foreign governments were plotting with the Turks, there was a courtesy and pro-discussion, and the Turkic envoys also came in to ask whether they still had to fulfill the previous covenant in this matter......

Hearing Li Tai's question, Di Zhi lowered his head and replied.

When Li Tai heard this, he didn't care, and replied casually: "The old Tumen sent an envoy to the court to propose marriage, and now our country sends an envoy to hire the daughter of his country. Although there have been twists and turns in the past, it can also be more beneficial to the courtesy, so as to comfort the feelings of the people."

The current emperor Yuan Kuo's empress is the daughter of Yu Wentai's cousin Wang Mao, and Li Tai doesn't really want to meddle in the emperor's family affairs to show his authority, but now that the country needs to welcome a Turkic woman to be the empress for a period of time, the emperor must be able to see it.

"No, yes, that's right, it wasn't Your Majesty who was the one who made peace with you, but the Prince...... Therefore, this is why the Turkic envoys came to tell him that if they still want to fulfill the previous covenant and form an alliance, then they need to be sent by the Tang Duke to visit and be hired by the Turkic Khan."

Di Zhi peeked at Tang Gong's expression, and said cautiously.

"Is that so?"

When Li Tai heard this, he immediately frowned, and his mood was not as open-minded as he was just thinking about arranging a new spouse for the emperor, and he became a little crying and laughing, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that he really wanted to pay it back.

Back then, he didn't make fun of the happiness and troubles of the eldest brother He Liuhun's pear blossom pressing the begonia, but he didn't expect that a similar situation would come to him when he turned his head, and he wanted to marry a woman whose boss had a marriage contract, I don't know if this is considered a sister-in-law?

Regarding the matter of dedicating himself to the country, Rao is Li Tai can see it, but when the real thing comes to an end, it is still indispensable to cheer himself up and do psychological construction.

He was silent for a while, and then looked at Di Zhi and said in a deep voice, "That's all the envoy has to say?"

"Also, the messenger told us that because of this dishonesty of our army, the army was defeated, and the damaged armor and horse staff needed to be compensated. In addition, Tugu Hun is unruly and unwilling to obey his orders, and the wooden pole Khan will want to raise troops to fight against him, and I need my Longyou Division and Brigade to gather in Liangzhou to fight together......

"Hmm, uh-huh......"

Li Tai snorted when he heard this, although he was very unhappy, he could still bear it, and then said in a deep voice, "Is there anything else?"

"In addition, because Tang Gong is newly in charge of state affairs, the power is not focused on the plug, and the wooden pole Khan is worried about the situation and the situation is not long, so he wants to set up a Khan court in the fertile field to help Tang Gong's ......

When he saw the fierce light flashing in Tang Gong's eyes, Di Zhi didn't dare to continue for a while, the wooden pole Khan didn't know what Tang Gong was and the lion opened his mouth, he knew why Tang Gong was on the throne.

"Then send wine, meat, food, and drink to the Turkic envoys, don't make them short, tell them that everything is negotiable, and peace is precious!"

Li Taiqiang endured the anger in his heart, and commanded in a deep voice. It wasn't until Wei Dizhi and the others were ordered to withdraw that he couldn't help but draw out his saber and slash it on the wooden case, and roared in a deep voice: "When the head of the thief has such a case!"

He was ready to learn from Big Brother, but he didn't expect that this Turkic Khan was so insatiable, really thought that Lao Tzu liked to eat soft rice because of his bad teeth? Since you feel that Lao Tzuwei is not focused on the plug, I will take you Liwei first!
