History seems to be frozen at this moment.
On the grassland where the autumn wind was gradually rising, the kings of the two powerful empires in the north and south looked at each other from a distance, sizing each other carefully.
The young and powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was tall and burly. Sitting on his horse, he was as straight as a pine tree, as if he could carry him even if the sky fell.
Opposite him was the king of the most powerful empire in the world, Turkic Khan Ashina Yang Huan. She was dressed in a white robe, with two wolf tails moving in the wind beside her face. It seemed that she could feel it even from a distance away.
Her majesty and grace.
They stared at each other like this for a long time. Although they didn't know what the other was thinking, they themselves could feel the indescribable complex feeling.
After a while, Li Po was the first to show a smile, dismounted, and led the horse forward.
Ashina and Yang Huan also laughed. This was different from the meeting she had imagined, but it was like how it should be, everything was natural and fell into place.
She jumped off the horse neatly, her body seemed to be much younger and full of energy in an instant, and the fatigue of the journey disappeared at this moment.
The two of them got closer and closer, and stopped a few steps away.
Li Po smiled and said: "Khan has been working hard all the way. For so many years, I have always thought about what kind of strange woman Khan is, who can command heroes and drive eagles and dogs. When I saw him today, he was indeed very heroic. In comparison, our men
Would you rather be worthy of shame?"
No matter how many thoughts he had before, when he really met the Turkic Khan, he immediately flattered him. After all, not only could she be his aunt, but she was actually his mother-in-law.
It's just that I haven't spoken like this for many years, so I'm a bit rusty, and I don't seem to be very good at blowing and filming.
While he was talking, he looked at Ashina Yang Huan again. He was too far away just now, so he didn't take a close look at it. This time he was closer, and he realized that this Turkic Khan was also quite tall.
Although time has left many traces on her body, her body still looks strong and energetic.
She is no longer young, especially when living in an environment like the grassland all year round, people tend to age faster, and there are deep lines on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
But God is always so fair. While taking away her youth, he also gave her something else, the kind of temperament that only appears in mature women.
Moreover, she has been immersed in power all year round, and she is completely different from an ordinary woman. As the most powerful woman in the world today, she is destined to be a unique existence.
She had a warm smile on her face, looking a little more calm than Li Po, and there was obviously a bit of joy in her calm eyes.
………………
Ashina Yang Huan was also sizing him up. The man in front of him was mighty and majestic. His face was very ordinary, but those eyes... just as Ashina Peony said, they were really alike.
The figures of Emperor Wen and Queen Wen could not help but appear in her mind, and they overlapped with this man in a daze. The reincarnation of the world made everything seem destined.
She slowly said: "I don't know whether the Supreme Being is ashamed or not, but this time you and I meet, I have been trying my best to facilitate it... You men, you are all ruthless people fighting for me all day long.
, I guess what I said was too much to say.
I was indeed happy to see the Supreme Being, but the Supreme Being asked himself, what thoughts were he having in his heart when he saw me?"
After hearing this, Li Po suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself that this woman must have been in Turks for a long time and had even forgotten basic courtesy. When we meet for the first time, we have to pat each other on and talk about other things, right?
Why do you act like you want to rip out your heart and soul as soon as we meet?
You are going a little too far...
Moreover, for a person to be able to ascend to the position of Turkic Khan, a decisive character is a prerequisite. He may not have killed fewer people than him, so how can he be said to be ruthless?
The guy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then be more honest?"
Ashina Yang Huan showed a "kind" smile, nodded approvingly and said: "This is the grassland. I heard that the Supreme has also lived here for some years. I don't know that the prairie people have always been stupid by nature. Now that the Supreme has returned to
Here, it is better to do as the Romans do.
I have been here for many years and am accustomed to Turkic language, so I don’t want to play so many tricks... We are a family, what can’t we talk about?"
Li Po raised his eyebrows, "What the Khan said is reasonable. It is a good thing that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic Khan are related to each other, but you have to know, how can the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic Khan be a family?
Khan looked at the people behind us, they all gripped their swords, guns, bows and arrows tightly, how difficult it is to get them to put down their swords and guns and get along like brothers."
Ashina Yang Huan looked back, his smile still unchanged, "What's the matter? Isn't that why we came here?"
Hearing this sentence, Li Po's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, because he felt that he was at a disadvantage, at least being outdone in terms of his magnanimity.
Ashina Yang Huan was very sharp in her poetry. Everything she said during the meeting seemed to imply that he had evil intentions and was not as frank as her, so he unknowingly took the initiative in speaking.
War of words does not play a big role in the exchanges between the two countries, but when two kings meet, bickering is a very important part of it. If they are at a disadvantage, it can easily increase each other's momentum.
The worst result is that the other party realizes that you are unworthy and cannot match your status, and will naturally be inclined to formulate corresponding national policies in the future.
A fool can be bullied from time to time...
Li Po glanced at the other party appreciatively, and her origins emerged in his mind again.
A daughter of the former Sui clan, her father was Yang Zan, King of Tengmu, and she was an illegitimate daughter, so her name was not recorded in the Yang family genealogy (I just made it up casually, don't take it seriously).
Yang Zan is Yang Jian's half-brother, and the two have a bad relationship.
Especially before Yang Jian ascended the throne, Yang Zan was afraid that his power would affect his people, so he framed Yang Jian a lot. So when he made peace with the Turks, Yang Jian chose his daughter to marry Qimin Khan.
These all belong to the category of royal secrets and are not spread to the outside world. But for Li Po, at the time of the alliance, someone would naturally explain to him in detail the origin of the Turkic Khan.
Since Ashina Yang Huan married Qimin Khan, the border between the former Sui Dynasty and the Turks has gradually calmed down. No matter what Qimin Khan's considerations were, Ashina Yang Huan's persuasion played a certain role in it.
function.
Because the Turks had the custom of being able to participate in politics, she did have a voice in the royal court, and her role was similar to that of Princess Dayi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
But Ashina Yang Huan went a step further. She married two men, and they were both father and son. According to the etiquette of the Central Plains, it can be said that she was humiliated.
This may be one of the incentives for her to compete for the position of Turkic Khan after the death of Shibi Khan.
She did not show any resentment towards the Hongnong Yang family. She was very smart at this point because she understood where her status and power in the Turks came from...
Thinking of this, Li Po sighed secretly, but also became more vigilant.
Missing her homeland may be her weakness and can be exploited, but the example of Princess Qianjin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is very tragic.
In the early Sui Dynasty, the Turks quickly turned against them. A large part of the reason was that Princess Qianjin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty persuaded the Turkic Khan to attack the Sui Dynasty. Although her life experience was as tragic as Ashina Yang Huan's.
However, she became one of the most deadly threats to the Central Plains dynasty. Therefore, after defeating the Turks, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian ostensibly accepted her as his adopted daughter and changed her title to Princess Dayi. However, in the end, he alienated the Turks and forced Dulan to
Khan killed her.
Now he is facing a more powerful princess from the former dynasty, the current Turkic Khan, who has become his fucking elder. What kind of bad things are these... and what will happen in the end?
What about the ending?
Li Po's eyes darkened, and he casually patted the neck of the war horse beside him while saying: "Someone told me in the early years that they wanted the Turks to graze their cattle honestly and the people of the Central Plains to farm obediently, so that everyone would not have to worry about food and clothing.
How much anger.
After that, each other will learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, and each will get what it needs, and the whole world will be peaceful. What does Khan think of this?"
This is a simple yet complex question. No normal person would think that this ideal state can be achieved, let alone an extremely smart person like Ashina Yang Huan.
But she couldn't give a negative answer at this time, so everything she said before would be nonsense. But if she gave a positive answer, then she would be a fool, so for her, this is a paradox.
Li Po started to manipulate his words again. An unanswerable multiple-choice question actually changed the concept. The intersection between the two countries is not an either/or thing. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is the normal state of the intersection between major countries.
As a result, Ashina Yang Huan also felt the cunning and cunningness of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and finally looked at Li Po with something wrong.
………………
On the grassland, the autumn wind whistled, and occasionally the neighing of war horses could be heard, but the silence at this time became more and more apparent.
The carefully selected warriors held the reins of their horses tightly and stared closely at the two people talking, ready to urge their horses to rush forward as fast as possible to rescue their masters if danger appeared.
The accompanying ministers were also looking at this scene that had never appeared in a thousand years, using their clever minds to constantly guess what the two kings were talking about.
They were silent for a long time in the midst of the crowd's attention.
In the end, Ashina Yang Huan glanced at Li Po with some annoyance, and involuntarily showed a daughter-like expression, "No one in Turks would say such a thing. What kind of answer do you want? My nephew..."
The first person to change the topic always wants to start a new game, but it is the same as admitting defeat.
And her words are amazing... It seems that she still retains many southern characteristics and habits...
Li Po was not successfully raided by her. Family ties were a topic that was bound to be discussed in this alliance, and it was also a bargaining chip that they wanted to seize. He had prepared many answers in advance and chose how to deal with it depending on the situation.
