The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the Khan finally met a eunuch who had come running from the palace.

The eunuch came to the palace gate and said: "Your Majesty said that Yinan Khan should go back to rest early, there are many political affairs in the court, and he will be summoned another day." ”

Yi Nan Khan walked out of the palace gate step by step, his steps were weak, and his eyes were full of confusion.

In a house in the streets and alleys of Dongshi, Zhang Yang and Li Yue sat under the eaves and watched the heavy rain, "This year is a year of abundant rain. ”

Li Yue listened to the sound of rain and drank a sip of hot tea, "This year will also be a bumper year." ”

It's a pity that I can't play badminton today, and after lunch, Zhang Yang quietly watched the rain scene.

Li Yue sat under the eaves, looking at the waterwheel drawings he had drawn and fell into deep thought.

On the second day, after the morning pilgrimage ended, it was still drizzling.

From a distance, the huge Chang'an City is hazy in the rain, and the roofs of the buildings are filled with water vapor.

The guy from the inn hurriedly came to report.

Only then did Zhang Yang learn that Yi Nan Khan was sick and had a cold.

Walking on the way to the post house, this time with the supervision of the Imperial Medical Department.

Xu Jingzong also noticed that Lu Zhaolin's expression was not very good, and as soon as he walked to the post house, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Zhang Shilang, why does this Lu Supervisor have a black face." ”

Zhang Yang watched Lu Zhaolin walk into the room of Yinan Khan, "It's a bit of a holiday." ”

"What a holiday."

"Last time he asked me for the secret recipe for tea, I didn't give it to him."

"Really?"

The two walked into the room together, watched Lu Zhaolin check the pulse of Yinan Khan again, and looked at it again.

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands and asked, "Brother Xu, how did this khan get sick?" ”

Xu Jingzong was entangled, "Yesterday, after he had a dispute with Zhang Shilang, he was going to meet His Majesty. ”

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "I remember that the rain yesterday was quite heavy. ”

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "It's just that you'll get sick if you wait for the rain in front of Chengtian Gate." ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "The rain in this spring can't be drenched casually, it's easy to get sick." ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Zhang Shilang, do you say that this Xue Yantuo has such a rainy season." ”

"Probably not, this Yi Nan Khan still has a lack of cultural level, and I don't know the rainy season in our Guanzhong."

"Yes."

The two agreed.

Yi Nan Khan was lying on the bed, his throat was uncomfortable at the moment and he couldn't speak, his eyes looked at Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong, these two people not only did not worry about the lost horses, but they also said cool words, their breathing became heavier and heavier, and their hearts were even more angry.

Lu Zhaolin stood up, "Yi Nan Khan, this is raining cold, and it is a rush to attack the heart, too heavy the heart fire is not good for the condition, remember to calm down, take the decoction every day, and you can be cured in three or two days." ”

Xu Jingzong stepped forward and asked, "Why does Yinan Khan insist on going to see Your Majesty?" ”

Yi Nan lay on the bed and didn't speak.

Zhang Yang looked at his complexion, "If you want to see Your Majesty, you can tell us that I will take you to see Your Majesty, why do you bother to ask to see yourself, you can't see it this time." ”

Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "I'm still too sick to get out of bed, it's really self-inflicted." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "We have a saying in the Central Plains, which is called self-seeking hardship. ”

Listening to these words, Yi Nan Khan stopped talking, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Yi Nan Khan couldn't open his mouth to speak, and he was still breaking out in a cold sweat.

Lu Zhaolin walked out of the room with the two of them, "Xu Shilang, Zhang Shilang, and Yinan Khan need to recuperate now, if you provoke him again at this time, it will not be good for the condition." ”

Zhang Yang sighed: "I didn't want to provoke him. ”

Xu Jingzong closed the door to Yinan Khan, "We also hope that Yinan Khan's condition will be cured soon." ”

Zhang Yang looked at Lu Zhaolin, "If you want tea, Lishan fiefdom is available, and the price is cheap." ”

Lu Zhaolin arched his arch and left.

Standing at the door of Yinan Khan's room, Zhang Yang sighed: "Now Yinan Khan can't see His Majesty even if he wants to, why bother." ”

Xu Jingzong also nodded helplessly.

There was a noise in the room, as if something heavy had landed.

Xu Jingzong opened the door and took a look, it turned out that Yi Nan Khan fell off the bed and fell unconscious on the spot.

"Taking care of Yinan Khan is related to the diplomatic relations between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo, and it cannot be lost." Zhang Yang instructed the guy on the side.

The guy smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, you two." ”

If Yi Nan Khan is in the grassland, he should naturally not be underestimated, and now he is like a tiger in Chang'an with his teeth pulled out, and he is no longer threatening.

This time, the rainy season was very long, and there was even a situation of river water backfilling in various parts of Guanzhong, so Li Shimin sent people to dredge the river so as not to affect this year's harvest.

Outside the customs, as early as the day when Yinan Khan entered the customs, Xu Jingzong's news was sent out.

In the Yinshan grassland area north of Youzhou, Ashina He Luohu sat in the tent and listened to the narration of several old Jieli tribes in front of him.

He was only thirteen years old, and he had no idea that his father would die of illness the day he left the grassland.

Nor did he know anything about saving the Turks.

He was just sad and scared, and he looked at his uncle's association rate, "Will Tian Khan really help us?" ”

The association rate nodded, "Those two squires said that no matter what happened, you must believe in Datang." ”

He Luohu's eyes looked at these old tribes again, no matter how much discord there was between his father Khan and Jieli, everyone was Turkic.

Xue Yantuo is facing now, Xue Yantuo is an outsider!

Listening to their story, He Luohu wiped his tears aggrievedly, "Then please follow the arrangement of the two waiters in Chang'an." ”

It is the time when the grassland pastures are at their most fertile.

Most of the current Turks are in the south of Yinshan, and to the south are the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang people who migrate south will definitely come over.

To the north, there are the Xue Yantuo people.

He could only live in this place, and he prayed to the greatest wolf of the steppe, the eagle soaring over the steppe, in the hope that the Turks would settle down as soon as possible.

When Yinan Khan left Xue Yantuo, Xue Yantuo was still stable.

There are more and more rewards from Guanzhong, and many of Xue Yantuo's tribal patriarchs have received the will.

Since it is a reward, everyone is willing to accept the name of a general.

The army of 200,000 Xue Yantuo was a behemoth, and the Yinan Khan took away so many cattle, sheep and horses, and almost all the rations.

The rest of the Xue Yantuo people could only go out to plunder other Turkic tribes by themselves, even once or twice, and such a long period of looting made the Turkic tribes, which originally had not many cattle and sheep, have no rations.

For a while, many people in the Xue Yantuo tribe were hungry.

Many tribesmen do not have enough to eat.

There were even fights between tribes over food.

Some people blame the Yinan Khan for taking away so many cattle, sheep and horses, making everyone hungry.

It is also said that everything will be fine when the Yinan Khan returns.

Several Turks mingled with the Xueyantuo and listened to their stories.

The Xue Yantuo tribe is quite calm, and after a few days, some people in the various tribes of Xue Yantuo really can't bear it, so it is better to return to Mobei and continue to live their lives.

Some of these people were forcibly brought over to fight by the Yinan Khan, and they had no sense of belonging to the Xue Yantuo tribe at all, and they had long wanted to run away.

That night, some people took a lot of cattle and sheep and left the tribe.

Two tribes fought again over food.

One of the strings that had been stretched was about to break.

A month has passed, the grassland has reached the grazing season, and more and more people have left here to return to Mobei.

The hearts of the people in the tribe are scattered.

There were even some rumors among the tribe, some people said that Yinan Khan would not come back in Chang'an, and some people said that Yinan Khan would not want to be a tribesman if he married a princess.

During the night a fire broke out among the tribes, burning up the dried meat and forage.

This is everyone's rations, counting on these forages to feed the war horses, counting on these dried meat to feed the stomach.

After all, there are people from large tribes who don't want to wait here.

Others wrote letters in parchment to ask the khan to return.

When the hearts of the people were disheartened, a piece of news gave these Xue Yantuo people a blow to the head, and Ashinadur, who had fled to Gaochang, was helped by King Gaochang and was going to be killed.

The rainy season in Chang'an City has just passed.

Yinan Khan's illness also recovered, and this time it was a formal conversation between Datang and Yinan Khan.

Dali Siqing said to Yinan Khan, "Dali Temple has found out that the people who robbed the cattle, sheep and horses were Turks, not the Central Plains. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sat on the top seat of the Ministry of Rites, with an expressionless face.

On the side are the current crown prince Li Chengqian, and the king of Wei, Li Tai.

After saying this, the people of Dali Temple left.

Yinan Khan slammed his fist on the table, "Damn Turks, when you return to the steppe, you must kill them all." ”

Li Xiaogong looked at Zhang Yang.

Naturally, you can't let Yi Nan Khan just return to the grassland.

Yi Nan Khan glared, "Where is Jieli, I'm going to kill him!" ”

Xu Jingzong replied: "At the beginning, Jieli left Chang'an City on a big lantern, I don't know if he was alive or dead, or maybe he fell to his death, and there is no news of Jieli's Khan in the Turkic steppe. ”

The eyes of the Yinan Khan looked at everyone.

The eldest grandson Wuji said in a low voice, "Since this matter was done by the Turks, and it is also your old grudge between Xue Yantuo and the Turks, but the incident happened in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty naturally can't do nothing, and the court will send a message to the little Turkic Khan He Luohu and ask him to return these cattle and sheep." ”

Yi Nan Khan saluted his eldest grandson, Wuji.

He pointed at Zhang Yang and shouted: "I am Xue Yantuo Khan, this official treats people so contemptively, and even because he is sick, please punish him." ”

Listening to this Yi Nan Khan accusing Zhang Yang, Li Xiaogong's expression changed, and he was about to stand up and speak, seeing that Zhang Yang had already stood up.

"Dare to ask Khan, why did I despise you." Zhang Yang was puzzled.

Yi Nan looked at him, "Isn't it because of you that I can't see the Heavenly Khan for a long time?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's expression was calm, as if he was watching a good show.

Li Tai sat on the side, a little worried about Zhang Yang.

On the contrary, Li Chengqian's expression was much more relaxed.

Glancing at the people present, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "When the Khan was about to go to Chang'an City, our Ministry of Rites sent someone to greet you as soon as possible, and brought you into Chang'an City, dare to ask us where we were contemptible." ”

The Khan was about to speak.

"Connecting the Khan to Chang'an City, Brother Xu, our servant of the Ministry of Rites, even arranged a place for the Khan to live with his own money, and on the first day, he watched the Khan's carriage and horses, so that the Khan could rest, yes or no?"

Yi Nan Khan swallowed back what he wanted to say, and just looked at Zhang Yang.

"These things can be proved by the guys in the post house, and the next day our Ministry of Rites immediately received the Khan, at that time His Majesty was busy with government and had no intention of seeing the Khan, and the Ministry of Rites received him on his behalf, the Khan was unreasonable, and even planned to add punches and kicks to me, I won't say it."

"The Khan himself went to see His Majesty, and waited for two hours at Chengtianmen and became ill in the rain, is this also the fault of our Ministry of Rites?"

The eldest grandson Wuji took a sip of tea and continued to listen.

"It's because you didn't listen to our persuasion and went to see Your Majesty, and you can't blame the Ministry of Rites for causing your illness, we even asked the Imperial Physician to come to see the Khan the next day, and the Khan is now alive, and we should thank us for our great kindness!"

"Great Kindness ......"

"Puff......" Li Tai couldn't hold back and almost laughed.

Yi Nan Khan now wants to stand up and punch this Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang looked at him with a murderous look and took a step back, "What?" Still want to do it, I warn you, the consequences of doing it here are serious. ”

Glancing at Li Xiaogong again, Zhang Yang hurriedly said, "King Hejian, remember to protect me when the time comes." ”

Li Xiaogong didn't know what to say, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Yi Nan Khan was about to stand up as soon as he slapped the table, and when he saw that he was about to make a move, he was immediately escorted by the officers and soldiers outside the door.

Seeing him being held on the ground, his teeth and claws fluttering, he couldn't move.

Even want to open your mouth to bite.

Zhang Yang sighed; "From beginning to end, what we should do in the Ministry of Rites has been done, everything is done in accordance with the rules of the court, how come I snub you in the eyes of the Khan, this Khan We Central Plains people are not as barbaric as you, we must be reasonable in speaking and doing things, whether it is before you arrive in Chang'an City, or in Chang'an City, what we should do is done very well."

Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji again, Zhang Yang arched his hand and said, "Zhao Guogong, what I said is right." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded slightly.

Zhang Yang looked at Yinan Khan again and continued, "Khan should thank us for taking care of you so much and giving you medical treatment, you should thank us, how can you think that En will take revenge?" It doesn't make sense. ”

With another long sigh, Zhang Yang continued, "Forget about these, I will be wronged a little if I am wronged, maybe you Xue Yantuo people are so uneducated, so unreasonable, you are the ones who will take revenge, I am really dedicated to Mingyue, but Mingyue is to the ditch." ”

"Poof......" Li Tai couldn't hold back again, and almost laughed out loud.

glanced at Li Tai and held back a smile, and the eldest grandson Wuji sighed.

Zhang Yang looked back at him, "His Royal Highness King Wei, this is the scene of the conversation between the two countries, can you stop laughing." ”

Li Tai straightened his body and sat upright again, "I'm sorry, this king didn't hold back for a while. ”

Seeing that the Yinan Khan was no longer struggling, the eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said, "Let go of the Khan, I hope everyone is calm." ”
