After a long time, Li Po's faint voice sounded in the palace, "The North and the South have met and vowed to make a great alliance. There are many things our predecessors have done that we can learn from, but the meeting of the two khans is unique.
As far as I know, apart from being dragged down by subordinates, Yang Guang only met Qimin Khan once in Yulin, right? Does the Khan really have such a wish? We can meet in person if we can't agree on things that come and go with messengers.
Reaching a covenant? Not necessarily?"

Li Po carefully weighed Tujue's sincerity. The other party's proposal was rather sudden, and this was something he could not make an immediate decision on.
Even if there is a precedent before... But that is too special, not to mention other reasons, just Qimin Khan, who lived in exile in the Sui Dynasty for many years.
After becoming the Turkic Khan, he personally visited the court several times and met with Yang Guang in Yulin, which was almost equivalent to reaffirming the goodwill of brothers. At that time, Yang Guang had just ascended the throne.
In the second year of Daye, Qimin Khan brought people to the court, congratulated him on becoming the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and invited him to visit the Turks.
Yang Guangxin believed it was true, so the next year he personally brought more than 200,000 people to visit him in a swaggering manner. Qimin Khan probably did not expect that he could do this and bring so many people.
Those who knew he was here as a guest, but those who didn't knew thought he was coming to attack the Turks.
Qimin Khan gritted his teeth and entertained this unwelcome guest. More than 200,000 people almost starved the Turks, and had to collect cattle and sheep from everywhere to feed the guests.
That time Yang Guang gave everyone a hard time, even Li Po was implicated...
Yang Guang's straightforwardness can be seen from this.
But Li Po was not Yang Guang, and Ashina Yang Huan was not Qimin Khan. Li Po felt that meeting them in person was a bit redundant, and it was difficult to show sincerity and gain the other party's trust.
How can we ensure that he will not be surrounded by a large army and then captured and paraded in the royal court?
If he led a large army like Yang Guang did, would Ashina Yang Huan still dare to come? If Ashina Yang Huan was confused and simply came here, Li Po felt that it would be difficult for him to suppress the Turks.
Khan caught the urge to come to Chang'an.
Moreover, when they meet, are they equals or do they differentiate themselves? Li Po has no interest in traveling so far to kowtow to others like a real son-in-law.
When he was still the king of Han, he was not very afraid of the Turks. Now that he has become the emperor, is he still worse than before?
Ashina Mudan seemed to be very happy to facilitate this matter, "I think the Supreme Being should understand the need for good relations between the two countries now. The Khan has no other intentions, and he has shown enough goodwill, which even caused unnecessary criticism in the royal court.
.
We should treat each other with sincerity, so let’s start with this alliance, what do you think?”
Li Po looked at her carefully and said to himself, if the Turkic Khan can come to Chang'an as a guest, I will definitely show more sincerity than you, even if Li Yuan is thrown into the Turkic royal court.
This was destined to be a topic with no results for the time being. After a few words of discussion, Li Po began to talk about him, and Ashina Peony no longer bothered with it.
She will stay in Chang'an for several months to wait for a reply. For such a big matter, they will not be as rash as Yang Guang... and there are many details worthy of discussion.
Once Li Po decides to travel, where to meet the alliance, how to reassure the other party that this is not a trap, etc. are the main topics of discussion.
As for the original intention of this alliance, Ashina Mudan would definitely not tell Li Po.
Could she say that the Khan met the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty just to confirm whether the other party was a descendant of the Yang family? That would be too weird for the exchanges between the North and the South.
In fact, Ashina Peony also felt sorry for Khan. Khan never forgot the Yang family, but the Yang family owed her too much. Just like the emperor in front of her, what could even the descendants of the Yang family do?
Looking at him like that, how could he care about family ties? In the end, it was just Khan's wishful thinking.
Fortunately, the alliance between the two countries is not without benefits to the Turks. Otherwise, she would definitely prevent this from happening, instead of trying her best to promote it now.

"I heard that Dou Jiande sent an envoy to Ashina Duowen... Does the Khan know that Ashina Duowen is in a relationship with Dou Jiande? If he knew, he might restrain him?"
Li Po finally brought up his topic, whether to form an alliance or not, he needed to discuss with everyone before making a decision, but Ashina Duowen's threat was a real thing.
He felt that the two young Khans of the Turks were escaping from the control of the royal court. Ashina Qiuluo was like this, and Ashina Duowen was not too generous.
If they all have their own ideas and can put them into practice at any time without asking for permission from the Turkic Royal Court, then his interactions with the Turkic Royal Court will be a bit useless.
He could completely use this to divide the Turks like the former Sui Dynasty did, without even using troops... Is it because of this that the Turkic Khan proposed an alliance?
Lacking necessary information, it is difficult to make a judgment. It seems that as Gao Biaoren said, it is indeed necessary to send an envoy to the Turkic Royal Court to have a look.
Ashina Peony did not show any abnormalities and replied easily: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there is only one person on the grassland who can truly uphold the will of the gods, and that is obviously not Ashina Dawen."
Li Po laughed and said, "Don't talk too much. Ashina Qiuluo just left. Did he go to the royal court to plead guilty? If not, I can punish him on behalf of the Khan. After all, we are not the ones doing this kind of thing."
have never done it."
Ashina Peony secretly gritted his teeth. As for your achievements, do you always show them off? Hum, if the Turks come again, they will definitely capture you and take you back to the royal court.
"Just like the Khan will not send warriors to the south to help the Supreme punish Li Yuan, Xiao Xian, Dou Jiande and other rebellious traitors, the Supreme does not need to worry about the Turks' family affairs. Last winter, the Khan had already punished him to guard the holy mountain."
You go back and forth, talk and talk, they really lack the necessary sincerity.
When talking about the effects of mutual trading, Ashina Mudan complained that there were too few caravans going to Dali City, and especially complained that Li Po killed people like Gao Shen who were willing to trade with Turks.
The charges against Gao Shen also made Ashina Mudan very angry, colluding with the Turks... How can the normal caravan exchanges between the two countries be called collusion? And this was after everyone made a promise, which is undoubtedly a breach of trust.
suspicion.
Li Po did not show weakness and questioned Ashina Mudan because he had close contacts with Gao Shen and others, which was suspected of provocation. Otherwise, he would not have killed Gao Shen and caused fierce criticism.
What they said was true and false, and thought-provoking. Both of them were eating the same meal, and they were just thinking about scheming. Even the wine became sour in their mouths, and their minds were full of intrigues...
