Chapter 414: Wisdom and Barbarians
Xu Jingzong's gaze swayed between the two of them.
When Li Daoyan and Ashina were in the Western Regions, they both took their own soldiers and horses to conquer the four towns of the Western Regions, according to the military reports that have always said, Li Daoyan and Su Dingfang only took Yanqi, and then the war report was broken.
To say that at that time, Gaochang had already taken Qiuzi.
After that, the military report was that Ashinadur won successively, and took several cities in the Western Regions, which is why the whole territory of the four towns of Anxi has now fallen, and the Western Regions have been like this since ancient times, and these small countries that rely on oases or passes are easy to conquer, but they are not easy to govern.
】
Xu Jingzong motioned for these soldiers to let go of the people, and when he saw the other party standing up and glanced at himself, he was not surprised but smiled and said: "This is Chang'an City, as the general of Tian Khan, he is like seeing Tian Khan in front of Chang'an City, Tie Le is so rude, it is disrespectful to Tian Khan." ”
Ashinadur babbled and spoke a few words in Turkic.
Xu Jingzong said impatiently: "Since Tiele can speak Guanzhong dialect, can you not use Turkic language." ”
Dur looked at Li Daoyan, "It was I who crashed into Chang'an City and Tian Khan." ”
After speaking, he saluted to the gate of Chang'an City.
Seeing this, Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "If we can turn hostility into jade silk, this is the best." ”
Dur looked at Li Daoyan again, and pointed to Xu Jingzong and a group of officials of the Foreign Academy, "They killed my war horse, he is an enemy!" ”
Looking at the crowd again, Dur muttered a few more words in Turkic.
Everyone was speechless for a while, this Dur would only speak Guanzhong when facing Li Daoyan, and only spoke Turkic when facing others.
Ashnadur is the Tiele of the Turks, and he also controls the soldiers and horses of the Turks.
In addition to obeying the orders of the steppe khan on the steppe, he is also an overlord and controls a tribe.
Zhang Daxiang whispered: "In any case, Ashina Dur can be regarded as a meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, and he has won two of the four towns in Anxi, and he should also be treated well." ”
Xu Jingzong nodded and took a step forward, "Please also ask Tiele to enter the city and settle down in the post house." ”
Ashinadur's gaze was still vigilant, and he walked towards the gate of Chang'an City.
Seeing that the follow-up Turks were about to enter, Xu Jingzong took a step forward to stop him, "You can only stay outside the city and station, you can't enter the city." ”
The person was stopped, and Ashinadur was anxious again, and he was about to rush up and was stopped by Li Daoyan.
"It's the rule." Xu Jingzong preached again.
Glancing at Li Daoyan again, the other party gave up, and shouted a few words to the Turks who came with him, and he had no intention of entering the city again.
Zhang Daxiang muttered quietly: "The Turks are barbaric and advocate strength, and they don't like us literati. ”
Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Although brute force is good, it can't compare to wisdom, I have the same ideal as Zhang Shangshu, that is, advocating wisdom, using less brute force and more wisdom." ”
It was arranged for these Turks to be stationed outside the city.
They were also very casual in their work, throwing these small royal families tied from the Western Regions in front of the city.
The men were bound hand and foot with ropes, and there were nearly two hundred of them in a long line.
This scene alone is a headache to watch, Xu Jingzong frowned and said: "This is a prisoner of the Turks? is not considered a criminal minister to be handed over to the Tang Dynasty. ”
Zhang Daxiang picked up a package they had thrown on the ground, and opened it to see the seals of various small countries in the Western Regions, as well as volumes of national letters.
"Put these things away carefully, they are more important than the lives of these royal families in the Western Regions."
"Whoa."
Whether the people of the Western Regions royal family are dead or alive, the Foreign Affairs Yuan doesn't care at all.
I care more about the location of Guozuo, these national letters and seals prove that the four towns of Anxi have been returned to Datang since then, which is something that can be recorded in history, and it is also the most important evidence for Datang to recover the four towns of Anxi.
Xu Jingzong still arranged for people to bring these people from the Western Regions into the city to be detained.
At the beginning, Zhang Yang said that he would recover the four towns of Anxi within a year, and the Foreign Affairs Yuan also took the plunge, and under the pressure of being laughed at by others, he has done it so far.
Looking at the letters of state and the seal letters of the four towns of Anxi, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the next things will be much easier.
Three or two months have passed since the Western Regions, and then the Foreign Affairs Yuan has to prepare for the follow-up matters, Zhang Dasu has to take people to compile the contents of these national documents, and then go to interrogate the royal family of the Western Regions, and need to register all the experiences.
Xu Jingzong was responsible for contacting Ashinadur.
Durr was not a very easy figure to get along with at first glance, and he had such a conflict in front of the city gates.
"No matter how difficult it is, it is incumbent on the lower officials, Zhang Shangshu said that we just have to overcome difficulties and move forward all the way."
Xu Jingzong still had a posture of going and not coming back.
Zhang Daxiang said with emotion: "Xu Shilang, don't worry, if you die under the knife of this Turk, I will collect your body and bury it, and then let the Turk pay for his life." ”
Xu Jingzong nodded, took a deep breath and led people to the post house.
Zhang Dasu transcribed the letter of state, and put the letter and the letter of state in a wooden box, "Big brother, these have been copied, and they will be presented to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." ”
"Is there anything wrong with the content of the national credentials?"
Zhang Dasu hesitated: "It's all the same words, it seems that they said they wanted to write like this, or these people were coerced to write it after they were kidnapped by the Turks." ”
The Foreign Affairs Yuan didn't want to care about what grievances these royal families of the Western Regions had suffered.
Zhang Daxiang hurriedly entered the palace with this box in both hands.
In the palace at this moment, Li Chengqian was sitting in the Xingqing Palace, looking at the reply sent by the Su family, since the last time he was ordered by Zhang Yang, now the two often exchange letters.
If you really want to see her, Li Chengqian can't have the courage, but occasionally you can give some small gifts, the letter said that she likes the book she sent last time, Liang Zhu This book describing love makes many girls in Chang'an City yearn for it.
Let them have more longing for love.
Looking at Juanxiu's handwriting on the letter, she also wanted to buy this book before, but her father at home has always refused, whether it is the Red Mansion, Liang Zhu or the West Chamber, these three books are more or less resisted by the current literati.
Now that the book has been delivered, she can still read quietly on her own.
The prince was originally busy with state affairs, but now he has a rare smile because of a letter.
This budding love is also Li Chengqian's only solace in this hot summer.
After reading the content of the letter, Li Chengqian wiped his sweat again, and every time he sat in the hall, he would sweat profusely, at least he could find a cool corner in the East Palace, and at this moment he also understood the many difficulties of his father.
Let people keep pouring water on the ground, at least make the hall less stuffy.
The eunuch in front of the palace came to report, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites is here, saying that he has brought the national letters and seals of the four towns of Anxi, and he wants to present them to His Highness." ”
Li Chengqian hurriedly stood up, "Hurry up, please come." ”
