After Zhang Xu sent Li Kuan away, the whole person was in a daze.

Other officials in Luoyang came to inquire.

Zhang Xu thought about it, and still told him about the conversation with Li Kuan.

This news was transmitted to the grassland before Li Kuan arrived at the grassland.

It can be said that it is fast.

As soon as Li Kuan arrived at the grassland, he was invited by Ashina Sheer, who was old and lying on the bed and couldn't move.

"Your Majesty, long time no see."

At this time, Ashina Sheer no longer had the vigor of his youth.

The commander of the Tang cavalry, who crisscrossed the grasslands and fought the 100,000-strong army of the Arab Empire, now lives by people.

Li Kuan looked at Ashina Sheer's thin appearance, and his eyes were very complicated.

Ashina Sheer is one of the few people who did not choose to go out to build a country.

He gave all his military exploits to his sons back then.

Then he returned to the grassland alone, and returned to live in the city transformed by his tribe.

Now he holds an idle position on the grassland, and usually lives in an official nursing home.

His current pension life is all subsidized by Datang.

Of course, Datang didn't treat him badly.

After all, his choice made Datang lose a quota for the construction of a feudal country.

The official is still very happy.

"I just arrived on the grassland, you invited me over, what's the matter?"

Li Kuan was not in the mood to reminisce.

In his eyes, Ashina Sheer is not so good.

Ashina Sheer laughed twice and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to die." ”

"I'm afraid that if I'm dead, the Xia people will no longer be able to remember the Turkic glory of the past."

Li Kuan smiled and said lightly: "But you are alive, and the Xia people in the new era have also forgotten the glory of the Turks, and they only remember that they were former sinners. ”

"After all, that's what the history books say."

Li Kuan sometimes lamented the power of the pen.

The pen is really able to change people subtly.

The Confucianism who was responsible for the education of the Tang Dynasty revised the history of the Xia people and the Qiang people in the history books.

Especially their origins.

Perfectly added to the body of sin.

The situation in which they were called Turks is also described as a journey of sin.

And then until Li Shimin forgave them.

All in all, the splendor of the Turks is a journey of sin in the history books of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, now every newborn Xia people worship the Tang Dynasty and are mainly Tang people.

spontaneously felt that Xia Ren's identity was not good.

Under the high morality of Confucianism, many people hate sin and hate it from the heart.

And the Turkic experience of being crowned guilty is a shame in the eyes of the Xia people.

Therefore, Li Kuan felt that Ashina Sheer, the defender of the old era, just thought too much.

Ashina Sheer looked at Li Kuan, his expression was in a trance, and he muttered: "I was born in the heyday of the Turks, witnessed the decline and fall of the Turks, and I chose to live in order to survive. ”

"I wanted to fight for time at a young age, gamble on the incompetence of the Tang Emperor, and strive for the Turks to gain glory again."

"But I lost nothing."

"Under the general trend, the Xia people have forgotten about the Turks."

"The splendor of the Turks is no longer there."

"And I, who dominated the Turkic Xia people, am the biggest gravedigger of the Turks."

"Your Majesty, how ridiculous it is for you to say that I have lived in this life."

Ashina Sheer laughed self-deprecatingly.

Li Kuan shrugged, not caring about his pathetic smile.

just said softly: "Ashina Sheer, no matter how young you are, you can't compare to me." ”

"What's more, there is another virtuous emperor in the Tang Dynasty today, I can only say that your future is predestined a long time ago."

"You're just crazy about adding loyalty to yourself now because you're uneasy."

"Whether you want to admit it or not, you Xia leaders who came from the Turkic era are all Turkic traitors."

"I advise you, it's better to look at it yourself and let yourself go as soon as possible."

Li Kuan could only persuade as much as possible.

No matter what Ashina Sheer had in mind.

The reality is that Ashina Sheer was his loyal supporter for a long time, and he once stepped on the world for him.

Ashina Sheer looked up to the sky and sighed, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the three generations of Ming Jun of your Li family, several wise princes, have really suppressed too many careerists in the world. ”

Ashina Sheer's mood is really complicated.

Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Kuan, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai have really subdued too many heroes in the world.

How many ambitious people in the Tang world were pressed by the Li family and couldn't move for thirty years.

Every time I want to move and do something, I will be hit by the thunder of the Li family.

To be honest, these ambitious people have discussed in private that if Datang produces three more generations of Ming Jun in a row, then everyone will collectively give up.

Don't struggle, it's boring.

When the time comes, everyone will just accept their fate.

Now let's see how well Chang'an performs.

If Chang'an is another generation of Ming Jun, these old men are ready to die and don't want to struggle anymore.

The ambitions of their hearts are also ready to be buried.

As for the ambitions of future generations, that is a matter for future generations.

Li Kuan couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Ashina Sheer's appearance.

This aggrieved look is also strange to make people want to laugh.

After chatting and chatting, it was time for dinner, and Ashina Sheer prepared a dinner full of grassland characteristics for Li Kuan.

Roast camels.

"Can you eat it?"

Li Kuan pointed to the roasted camel, and asked with the corners of his mouth twitching.

"I can't eat it, I don't have many teeth for you, I can only eat some soft milk porridge."

Ashina Sheer deserves to reply.

The corners of Li Kuan's mouth twitched, and after he asked for some fluffy meat himself, he pulled it down and asked the other people to serve the roasted camels to divide it, and then he asked for a bowl of boiled fluffy porridge and pickles.

Although Li Kuan, who is in his fifties this year, is still healthy, he still started the road of health preservation.

In the past, Li Kuan and Ashina Sheer drank wine, ate meat, and watched singing and dancing.

Now Li Kuan and Ashina Sheer are drinking porridge and watching songs and dances.

In the past, the two of them who were stimulated by alcohol felt very cool and exciting to watch singing and dancing.

Now the two who are not stimulated by alcohol think they look good when they watch singing and dancing, but they have more than enough heart and not enough strength.

After the singing and dancing, after dinner, Li Kuan went to rest.

This time he lived in the courtyard where he used to be in Dingxiang.

Ashina Sheer also arranged bed warmers for him, but Li Kuan still refused.

At night, Ashina Sheer sat alone in his courtyard, looking at the bright moonlight, and his heart was depressed.

"Your Majesty, are you here to warn me?"

Everyone knows the conversation between Zhang Xu and Li Kuan.

Everyone is thinking about the fundamental reason why Li Kuan traveled around the world this time.

They don't believe that Li Kuan is just "I want to see the world".

They felt that Li Kuan must have other ideas.

For example, it is to deter ambitious people.

See off the old guys in the Tang world who take him as an example.

And so on, everyone has it.

"Your Majesty, I still want to struggle for a while."

"The Empress."

"Maybe it's a willful person."

"Maybe it will give me a chance to bury my hands."

Ashina Sheer thought for a moment, and finally muttered.
