Ashina Mudan thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was the case.
When he went to Mayi or Jinyang to meet the Emperor, his words were cunning and frivolous, saying that Luoyang's peonies must have grown more beautiful as there were so many people dying in Luoyang.
She must not be able to remember the original words, but the general meaning should be correct.
Ashina Mudan rolled her eyes helplessly. After so many years, this belated compensation is really... people don't know what to say.
It's a bad joke that Li Po can pull off.
But the compensation was very humane, Ashina Mudan still brushed her chest, "Mudan accepted the Supreme's thoughts... It goes by so fast, so many years have passed by in a flash.
The princess and I... are both old. I can still come back to visit, but the Khan can no longer return south... Should the Supreme Being know that? The Khan is selecting candidates to inherit the throne.
Your Majesty, why don't you think about what kind of person would be better for the Tang Dynasty if he inherited the throne of Turkic Khan?"
The two of them had a drink. Li Po shook his head and said with a smile: "You and Khan always talk about this. To put it bluntly, I think you are too self-righteous. Don't get angry yet...
You and the Khan know better than me what the Turks look like, so why should you deceive yourself?
It is not easy for my throne to be passed down smoothly, let alone the Turks?
Qimin Khan is your father, you should know him well, right? I am an outsider, but I heard that Qimin Khan was a good man. What was the situation like when he passed the throne to Ashina Dojishi?
How is Ashina Dojishi better than Ashina Dobi and Ashina Allivo brothers?
I also heard an interesting story in the south. It was said that when you were hunting on the grassland during your alliance, Ashina Dojishi was unwilling to shoot a doe?"
Speaking of this, Li Po couldn't help but laugh, "There are many similar anecdotes in the Central Plains. They are not true, but they represent the word benevolence.
For you Turks, the requirements are not so high. Not killing indiscriminately is benevolence. I guess Ashina Doji seldom killed people, right? He was also very kind to his slaves.
Is this what Qimin Khan valued in his succession? Unfortunately, it is not easy to be a promising monarch. Ashina Dojishi was too impatient, and he failed to live up to his father's expectations...
In the end, decades of life were destroyed in one fell swoop.
The Khan always wanted a successor who was related to her bloodline, but have you ever thought about it? Qimin Khan was said to be in the auspicious era of Ashina, and what he wanted was the word benevolence.
So what does Khan want?
People in the south describe the grasslands and say that the Turks are a country of tigers and wolves, ignorant, ignorant and martial, greedy, cruel and uncontrolled.
It is unusual for such a tribe to have a Qimin Khan. Now they still respect the heroine. I think the next generation successor of the Turks must be a person named Ashina. The Turks will not allow this anymore.
Any accident happens.
If my son is sent to the Turks, it will be like putting a thorn in the Turks' eyes. I can only imagine what those violent guys will do.
A son is nothing, but when that time comes, I will never allow my son's blood to be shed in vain, so what are we doing now? Is it just to make our hatred deeper when we meet in war?"
Ashina Mudan fell silent, but she soon smiled and said: "The Supreme One is still so far-sighted and can see farther away than others.
But you should be able to understand Khan's stubbornness. She has been in Turks for many years, and her relatives in the south have passed away. She misses her homeland all the time, but she has to think about the future of Turks.
And as a woman, what is wrong with wanting an heir who will inherit everything she has?
And she also made a compromise. Don't you see that Ashina and Su have the blood of Ashina she-wolf? The son born from the union of Yang and Ashina must be the most noble person in the world.
.
As long as he comes to Turks, there will be countless warriors loyal to him guarding him, and the eyes of the gods will always be on him, and they will not let some hyenas get close to him."
"You have always been a good lobbyist, and you are as stubborn as Khan on this matter..."
"The Supreme knows that whatever Khan wants to do, I will help her fulfill her wish. Even if it is wrong, I will not disobey it."
Li Po nodded, smiled and raised his glass again: "This is an effort for the friendship between the two countries, although in my opinion, the outcome is destined to be unsatisfactory.
Well, let’s see if God will give me the face to have another son.”
This is a trick, but Ashina Peony has a saying that is right. The identity of Ashina Tongsu is different from that of Ashina Tianxiang. She is the granddaughter of Ashina Dubi and the son of Western Khan Ashina Qiuluo.
daughter.
Once she becomes pregnant with the Tang Emperor's heir, regardless of gender, she will be the most noble person in the world. When she returns to Turks in the future, she will most likely get the full support of Ashina Qura and others.
If Li Po had grasped the situation at that time, he would have strongly supported his son to ascend the throne of Turkic Khan. In this way, who else could fight against such a huge force?
But for something so far away and so unlikely to happen, Li Po was too lazy to think about it.
Ashina Peony over there raised her head, but she really didn't expect that she would get the emperor's promise so easily. You must know that the two families had said it many times before.
Almost every time Khan wrote to this person in person, he mentioned it, but he never received a positive response from him.
Why are you so talkative today? Did you do something bad? Or pretend to be an unrelated child?
In an instant, all kinds of weird thoughts came to her mind, and conspiracy theories began to spread in her mind, making her look at the emperor suspiciously, not looking happy at all.
Ah, what kind of attitude is this? Li Po was not happy for a moment, "You don't believe my promise?"
Ashina Peony came back to her senses, quickly shook her head and said: "How could it be? Every word uttered by the noble person is clearer to the ears than the sound of the wind on the grassland. Those who cannot hear it will not deserve to hear any sound again.
"
A series of Turkic words came out of her mouth. She obviously felt that Li Po's accusation was very serious and she must explain it carefully.
Li Po didn't do anything wrong to scare her. Now his status is different. If he were still in Jinyang, this woman might not be able to talk to him so arrogantly.
"Okay, I will make it clear to the Khan in person about the future, so that she will not have any doubts. I hope that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks can always live in peace.
It's great now, look at how both of us can spare some time to do other things, instead of just watching each other's every move, neither of us can move, but letting rats like Goguryeo profit from it."
Ashina Mudan nodded in agreement. She and Khan indeed hoped that this situation could be maintained, but they were absolutely not willing to see Goguryeo destroyed so quickly.
She thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Khan heard in the royal court that caravans from the Western Regions were coming and going in Hexi, and some had already arrived in Chang'an, and caravans from the Tang Dynasty had also gone to Suiye River.
Then will you help our business travelers return to the Western Region?"
Li Po smiled, "Business traveler? An army pretending to be a business traveler?"
"So far, the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions has been relatively smooth. It can be seen that Tong Yehu Khan is a very smart man. Like his predecessors, he has established a strong friendship with the Tang Dynasty.
But we all know that it may be an illusion. Whether it is Datou Khan, Chuluo Khan, or Shegui Khan, they have proved one thing, that is, when they gain enough power, they will definitely reveal their hidden secrets.
Fangs in the mouth.
And compared to Khan, Tong Yehu’s friendship is nothing, is it?”
Another heavy promise, Ashina Peony was filled with joy, "I think Khan will be very happy when he hears these words. I give you a toast, for the sake of our friendship."
Li Po also raised his wine glass and smiled very honestly, but he was thinking in his heart, what kind of friendship do I have with the Turks? Didn't I kill enough Turks?
The world is so wonderful, just like those people who later burned mourning notes for the old lady. They may not think there was anything wrong with the robbers killing people and setting fires. They only knew that the robbers turned into gentlemen and showed hypocritical smiles, so they thought there was something wrong.
How kind.
At this time, Li Po had a smile on his face and drank the wine happily. He already knew more clearly that Datang had finally gained the upper hand in the struggle with the Turks.
In this year's alliance with Ashina Yang Huan, perhaps Datang can make some more excessive demands.
Ashina Mudan was testing Tang Dynasty's attitude, why wasn't Li Po watching the Turks' bottom line?
In fact, Ashina Mudan did not realize that as long as the Turkic royal court was willing, the Tang Dynasty could even provide them with a lot of convenience in sending troops to attack Tong Yehu.
For example, a more detailed atlas of the Western Regions, or letting those tribes who secretly communicate with the Tang Dynasty respond to the arrival of the Turkic Royal Court Army.
This was not a difficult task for the Tang Dynasty. It only took more than half a year to trade with the Western Regions, but it took more than two years to discuss trade matters with the Western Turks and various preparations.
The Western Turks did not have much defense, and they still imagined establishing the old pattern with the Central Plains dynasty, at least forming a three-way conflict in the west to restrain each other, and at the same time accumulate more strength to get rid of the threat from the east.
No wonder they have such inherent thinking, every generation of Western Turkic Khans has done this, and when they get out of it, they go to the Central Plains to take refuge like the Chuluo Khans did.
But what they don't know is that the Tang Dynasty, which unified the Central Plains, no longer wants to play like this. Once the national policy changes, it will have an unimaginable impact on the Western Turks.
For example, right now, the Tang Dynasty is discussing with the Turkic Royal Court to see how they can sell the Western Turks at a good price.
