"Chang'an, I haven't been back for many years. You always talk about it. Does this mean that Li Ding'an manages it very well?" Ashina Yang Huan said with a little longing.
Ashina Mudan put away her smile, "Khan should have known a long time ago that he is not only a wise general, but also a... wise king.
He merged the state and governed Daizhou very well. Every time I go there, I can feel the changes there. It has only been so many years, and the people there seem to have forgotten the pain the war has brought to them.
There are Turks grazing their cattle on the pastures, and the entire farmland is full of rice seedlings. I have specifically talked to them, and almost no one is worried that someone will come to kill their relatives and plunder their property.
They were all talking good about Li Ding'an... It was the same in Chang'an. I sat down and talked with many people there. Although I could still feel their anger, I could no longer persuade them to pick up swords and guns to resist.
You must know that when I went there, he had led his troops into Chang'an for less than a year. If the Kansai people had not lost their courage, then it can only be said that their new master was too powerful and they did not dare to act rashly."
"I know, I know..." Ashina Yang Huan smiled and shook his head, "You have told me many times... People in the south are very forgetful. They can take refuge in traitors like Li Yuan. Naturally
It’s not surprising that he would also bow his head to Li Ding’an.”
Speaking of this, Ashina Yang Huan sighed, "I know you want to tell me that the Sui Dynasty is dead and there is no way to go back to the past, right?"
Ashina Mudan nodded. Over the years, there were almost no secrets between them. She had been worried about Khan's nostalgia for the Sui Dynasty, so she tried to persuade him many times.
People in the south are not the only ones who are forgetful. The Turks have gained the upper hand over the Sui people only in the past ten or twenty years, but they seem to have forgotten the past when they crawled in front of the Sui Emperor and tried their best to please them.
.
The royal court was full of slander against the southerners, as if they were just a group of slaves, but who among them had ever been to the south?
If we really want to be honest, some people have followed Shibi Khan on two southern expeditions. The representative figure here is the current Jieli Khan Ashina Qura.
He led more than 30,000 Turkic warriors southward. What was his original intention?
Do you want to complete the great deeds that your father has not completed? Or do you think that the whip of the gods is just that, and that what he leads is just a group of rabble who want to surrender to the Turks but cannot do so?
Worried, she looked at her Khan and felt a little funny.
The Turks have plundered thousands of miles of land and controlled millions of strings. Such a huge empire is now really worried about its future. The only ones who want to do something for it are two women. God must be joking with them.
"Khan, don't think I'm too talkative. Speaking of which, fewer and fewer people have been to the south in recent years. They have no idea what's going on there.
What I want to tell Khan is that many people died there. I have met Li Ding'an and Dou Jiande, and they are both evil ghosts who crawled out of the dead.
They do not worship gods, they only believe in the power and swords and bows in their own hands. They have no respect for the Turks, especially Li Ding'an. We have all seen his cunning and ferocity..."
At this point, she paused and organized her words before continuing: "He looks very similar to Emperor Wen, especially his eyes, which are almost exactly the same as Queen Wen.
Now I just hope that he does not have the talent of Emperor Wen, otherwise, he will definitely attack us in the future."
Ashina Yang Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, then frowned tightly, "This is the first time you have told me this... why?"
Her mind was a little confused, and her eyes were full of suspicion. She was very similar to Emperor Wen and Queen Wen. Was she their descendant? How could it be?
But as a Turkic Khan, she immediately suppressed the shock in her heart.
Why else? The two women looked at each other, and Ashina Yang Huan put on a smile again, "Yeah, it just adds to the troubles. No matter whose descendants the people over there are, they always talk about it.
As the world is, so are the people.
Although bloodline is important, few people really care about it. Unlike the Turks, everyone is named Ashina, which saves a lot of trouble...
I know what you are worried about. When Qimin Khan became Tuli Khan, Emperor Wen sent people to befriend him, and Dulan Khan joined forces with Datou Khan to attack and expel him.
The Turks quickly weakened without a single blow, and tightly held a chess piece... It is indeed very similar to the current Ashina Duowen..."
Ashina Peony said: "Since Ashina Duowen left the royal court, he never came back. His ambition grew like wild grass on the grassland. The number of envoys he sent back to the royal court became more and more...
Arrogant.
Now there are more and more discussions in the royal court about Khan's successor, and they are just talking on his behalf. Khan should know it well, so why do you want to let the Sesili Qin Department leave?
Ashina Geyun’s father is Ashina Sizhen, and they all have a hatred for Ashina Duowen, shouldn’t they try to win over him?”
Obviously she did not agree with Ashina Yang Huan's actions. This was the first time that she could not clearly see Khan's thoughts, so she only asked her doubts when the overall situation was decided.
Ashina Yang Huan laughed, "You said that Li Ding'an looks very similar to Emperor Wen and Queen Wenwen. You must have investigated his life experience. Tell me the result."
Obviously Ashina Yang Huan did not want to discuss the topic with her confidants. Ashina Peony looked at her and smiled helplessly. Is she unable to keep up with Khan? Maybe...
She thought for a while and said: "I inquired about it when I went to Jinyang, and I told you about it... I didn't want to pursue anything at that time, so I didn't inquire very carefully, and I didn't tell anyone about it.
But when Li Ding'an took over Chang'an, he needed to be more cautious, so I went to see the queen. The queen was living a good life. You should know that she has experienced too much and now she just wants to live a peaceful life.
I asked about it, but she didn't say anything, but according to me, she should know something, because she was always reluctant to talk about the emperor's past.
I went to see Brother Yang Gongren again, and they were the same. People in the south... being secretive often means they are suspicious.
Li Ding'an stayed on the grassland for a while, and in the sixth or seventh year of Daye's reign, he went south and returned to the Sui Dynasty, and he later called himself the King of Han, according to his age..."
Having said this, Ashina Mudan shook his head and said: "It's useless to pursue these matters now? Khan can just listen to it as a rural anecdote. He has decided that the name of the country is Tang. Even if he is of the Yang family's blood,
What? Does the Khan still expect him to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan?"
Ashina Yang Huan glanced at Ashina Peony reproachfully, obviously very dissatisfied with her failure to report her knowledge...
