Ashina Yang Huan, the former Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty and now the most powerful woman in the world, is sitting on a tiger skin with a mink fur covering her body.
Her long hair is spread over her shoulders, and she wears a jewel-encrusted forehead ring on her forehead.
She is no longer young, but she is still in her prime. Compared to her respected status and powerful power, she is only in her early forties.
This is a woman who swims in the ocean of power. She reached the pinnacle of power at the age of less than forty, and it took her less than ten years to stabilize her position of power.
Compared with Qimin Khan and Shibi Khan, she undoubtedly has more political skills.
When Qimin Khan took over the throne, the Turks were caught in a serious internal struggle, and their compatriots in the west were also eyeing them.
Qimin Khan took advantage of his good relationship with the Sui Dynasty to expel or kill those relatives who competed with him for the throne, and ascended the throne of the Turkic Khan.
But what he faced at that time was a mess, so he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty and married Princess Yicheng. Because of his good relations with the Sui Dynasty, his compatriots in the west also stopped and no longer dared to attack the royal court, which greatly
Optimized Turk's external environment.
Then he continued to pacify the Turks for a long time.
During his reign, the life of the Turks gradually calmed down. The nobles no longer exacted excessive taxes and frequently killed each other. The herdsmen had more and more cattle and sheep, and life was not as difficult as before.
This also laid a solid foundation for the Turks' later prosperity.
However, due to the characteristics of the Turkic nomads, few Turkic nobles agreed with his achievements. Instead, they felt that Qimin Khan was too weak, especially his move to submit to the Sui Dynasty, which made the Turkic nobles very angry.
His son Ashina Dojishi was one of them, so when Ashina Dojishi ascended the throne of Khan, the relationship between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty took a turn for the worse.
In Ashinaduji's lifetime, that is, at the beginning of Shibi Khan's succession to the throne, he immediately remarried Princess Yicheng as his wife, expressing his willingness to have a good relationship between the two families.
But in fact, he also stopped making annual contributions to the Sui Dynasty, which was almost equivalent to no longer recognizing the Sui Dynasty's status as suzerain.
Then their relationship with the Western Turks also began to deteriorate. Shibi Khan did not hesitate to send Ashina Dubi to continuously attack the Western Turks, re-expanding the sphere of influence of the Turkic Royal Court to the Western Regions.
In the east, he was paying attention to the war between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo, and was always ready to reap the benefits.
As a result, the Turkic royal court moved south. With the civil strife of the Sui people, many Sui people came to defect to the Turks. The northern princes of the Sui region surrendered to the Turks one after another. The strength of the Turks seemed to come naturally.
At that time, someone from the Sui Dynasty described it this way: The prosperity of Rong and Di was unprecedented in ancient times. Even when the Xiongnu, Rouran, Xianbei and other tribes were at their most powerful, they were not like the Turks at that time.
Next, Shibi Khan led more than 300,000 people to go south and surrounded Sui Emperor Yang Guang at Yanmen. This was the most direct manifestation of the Turkic national power, and it was also the most glorious moment for the Turks.
But then the Turks tasted the bitter fruit. They went on two consecutive southern expeditions, with little gain but extremely heavy damage. Shibi Khan even died of illness in Dali City after the second southern expedition, which undoubtedly gave the Turks
A slap in the face.
It flourished and then declined, as if the gods played an unfunny joke on the Turks.
In such a special time period, Ashina Yang Huan used her extraordinary vision and excellent political means to usurp the Turkic Khanate.
Next it’s time for Ashina Yang Huan’s performance.
What followed for this Khan was also a mess, but she was obviously more patient than Shibi Khan. She spent nearly ten years quelling the civil strife in the Turks and consolidating her power.
She had served as Qimin Khan and was a khatun of the first and last Khan, so she knew the Turks very well. At the same time, as the former Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty, she undoubtedly agreed with Qimin Khan's strategy.
This is good for the Turks today. Showing goodwill to the emerging dynasty in the south and opening border markets are a continuation of this strategy.
The Turks got a rare opportunity to recuperate and recuperate after more than 20 years, but the deterioration of the external environment has not stopped, and Shibi Khan's radical strategy has left too many sequelae.
Of course, today, because Ashina Qura defeated Shekui Khan, the people in the south have not yet come out of the war. Goguryeo was severely damaged in the war with the former Sui Dynasty, and was so weak that it could no longer straighten its back.
.
The relatively stable Turks have an advantage. Therefore, Ashina Yanghuan, as the Turkic Khan, is not only the most powerful woman in the world, but also the men cannot compare to her.
Just like the few men in the palace, no matter how powerful they are, how violent, cruel, or cunning they are, they must restrain their momentum and sit there tamely and docilely.
…………………………
Seeing that everyone was here, Ashina Yang Huan waved his hand, and the attendants came in with cups and plates, and set out tea soup and snacks.
They are all things that are not commonly seen in Turks. There is no wine or steaming meat. It can be seen that it was made by the Sui people.
When the attendants left, Ashina Yang Huan took a sip of tea. She seemed to be in a good mood, and Ashina Luoheng, who had just arrived, also relaxed.
The Khan's voice came to my ears, and it was still so soft and sweet. No matter how good a Turkic woman's voice was, it would be difficult for her to have such a quality.
"Daluo has done a good job in the south. The Whip of the Gods has not appeared on the grassland again, and he has also presented me with some fresh things. I haven't tasted them for a long time. You guys should try them too...
It may not be to your taste, but I think it should be more acceptable than that Five Stone Powder, right?"
Wushisan poisoned Shibi Khan to death. This was the official conclusion of the Turks. When several people heard this, their hearts jumped and they looked hesitantly at the strange food on the table, wondering whether they should try it.
Ashina Luoheng was praised, and his eyes were no longer smiling. He hesitated for a moment before picking up the snack, and then ate it in one bite. It was a little dry, no salt, a little sweet, not very delicious, and very choked...
I took two sips of tea before sending it down.
Fatty always has a good appetite and a very naughty mouth. If he can't get used to eating, then the other two will be no exception. It's easy to understand. With the appetite cultivated by beef, mutton and milk wine, snacks and so on will be too much.
It's lighter.
But it is the same in the north and the south, and flattery must be flattered. Ashina Biji hurriedly swallowed the snacks and was the first to laugh: "The food of the Sui people is exquisite... I heard that the whip of the gods was a cook before. If he can cook
If he catches it and makes us some food, it will definitely be more delicious."
This was obviously the result of Li Yuan's voice reaching the Turkic royal court, which caused such a "misunderstanding". Well, the Turks' flattering skills are indeed not flattering.
You must know that Li Po is now the Khan's son-in-law. Even if he is captured and brought to the royal court, no one would dare to let him cook, right?
Of course, it is a daily routine for the Turkic nobles to gather together, say bad things about the Khan, discuss the whip of the gods, etc., so there is no need to be surprised.
Ashina swallowed the damn snack with great difficulty and almost choked to death. His brows were wrinkled. He smoothed it down with tea soup. The bitter and slightly salty taste made him even more...
He felt sick to his stomach.
Tea had only recently become popular among the nobles of the Sui Dynasty, let alone the northern grasslands. The Turks had obviously not yet developed its ability to digest gas and relieve greasiness.
After being fed a mouthful of "dog shit", Ashina Dubi was not very happy. Although he was old, his bones were still there and he was not very afraid of this woman who had "imprisoned" him for a long time.
"I heard that Li Po has become the emperor, so why would he appear on the grassland? It's not easy for you to catch him. Look at what that little boy Ashina Qiulu has done, with so many warriors.
I walked around the city wall and had to kowtow here when I came back. It was really stupid and cowardly.
You are not as good as him and you only dare to speak ill of others here. I am really ashamed of your ancestors."
Ashina Biji blushed at what he said, but as soon as his anger was ignited, he was extinguished by the other party's cold and fierce eyes.
His courage had long since disappeared in that embarrassing "rebellion", so he could only take a fierce sip of the tea soup, thinking in his heart that it tasted really bad, but he muttered: "If he dares to come to the grassland again,
I will definitely catch him with my own hands."
Ashina Biji is still the same, Ashina Luoheng thought, grabbed a piece of snack and threw it into his mouth, thinking in his heart, why is it so delicious? The cook who made it should be arrested and dragged away
Behind the horse.
Ashina Yang Huan did not blame them for their impoliteness, because this was the daily life of the Turkic nobles. If they were not in the Khan's palace, they would have drunkenly fought with each other, and then sat down to continue drinking.
Of course, if that's the case, even if Ashina Biji is old, he should still be able to beat the shit out of Ashina Biji.
She chewed the Central Plains delicacies happily and took a sip of tea soup from time to time. She was not used to it, but the taste of her hometown in these things made her very fascinated.
"Ashina Qiuluo is very capable of leading troops, but he is not good to his tribe..."
The palace suddenly became quiet. The Khan was talking about business and he needed to listen carefully.
Even though Ashina Qiuluo was Ashina Dubi's son-in-law and his nephew at the same time, he had no intention to speak for him.
"Ashina Dubi, my brother, you have stayed in the royal court for too long, don't you want to go out for a walk?"
Ashina Biji and Ashina Luoheng were both startled and looked at Khan in unison, instinctively wanting to dissuade her, but in the end no one spoke.
Ashina, who was fighting with the snacks, suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as swords, and he could still vaguely see the style of the past, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
He slowly put the snack into his mouth and said vaguely: "Why? I live a good life here."
