Immediately, Ling Jing wrote down Li Yuanji's instructions in his reply to Su Dingfang, word for word.
After finishing writing, Li Yuanji asked: "How did my father negotiate with the Turkic envoys?"
The Turkic envoys have been in Chang'an City for several days and have been talking to Li Yuan for several days, but there is no result yet.
Mainly because Turks have a big appetite.
After offering a small amount of broken fish maw, Li Yuan was asked to release the Turkic envoys he had previously detained, and Li Yuan was asked to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty to be the khedun of the Tuli Khan.
Li Yuan felt that the Turks were simply wishful thinking and rejected the Turks' request.
But the Turks still refused to negotiate with Li Yuan.
When Ling Jing heard this question, he suddenly laughed, "The Turks promised to bow to me, the Tang Dynasty, and donate 3,000 war horses and 10,000 cattle and sheep to me, the Tang Dynasty every year."
Li Yuanji was stunned. When did the Turks change their gender?
Ling Jing didn't wait for Li Yuanji to speak, he smiled and explained Li Yuanji's doubts: "The Turks seem to be unstable now. The saint must have learned the news from the eldest grandson Shunde, so he has a very tough attitude towards the Turk envoys.
.
The Turkic envoys threatened to send troops to the Tang Dynasty. The sage said bluntly that there was no need for the Turks to send troops. We, the Tang Dynasty, could take the lead in marching against the Turks in autumn.
The Turkic envoys were frightened and could only bow their heads to the Tang Dynasty and pay annual tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year."
Li Yuanji suddenly realized it. After thinking for a moment, he muttered: "I think the Turkic envoys came here to claim their vassal status and pay tribute."
Ling Jing mentioned that the Turks were willing to donate 3,000 war horses and 10,000 cattle and sheep, which reminded Li Yuanji of the historical fact that shortly after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Jieli Khan led hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops to the Wei River.
In the end, Li Shimin led six cavalry to persuade him to retreat.
After retreating, they also presented thousands of war horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to the Tang Dynasty.
Historically known as the Weishui Alliance.
In order to persuade the Turks to retreat, Li Shimin promised Jieli Khan a huge sum of money that Jieli Khan could not refuse.
After Jie Li retreated, it was reasonable to give Li Shimin some gifts in return.
But based on Li Yuanji's understanding of Jie Li, Jie Li is not a person who knows how to reciprocate kindness, nor is he a generous person.
The return gift to Li Shimin could not be so impressive.
Otherwise, Jieli would not use isinglass as a gift this time to ask for the detained envoys from the Tang Dynasty and the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, compared to thousands of horses and sheep, isinglass is worth only a few dollars.
Therefore, Xie Li's decent return gift was most likely decided in advance.
Now that Ling Jing said this, it should have been decided when the Turks asked for peace with the Tang Dynasty.
In other words, even without Li Yuanji's influence and there was no unrest within the Turks, the Turks would still sacrifice cattle, sheep and horses.
The Turks had always had the upper hand in the war against the Tang Dynasty. It was impossible for the Turks to offer cattle, sheep and horses to the Tang Dynasty without special reasons.
Therefore, in addition to uneasiness within the Turks, there may be other things going on.
"I also feel that the Turkic envoys seem eager to bow to me, the Tang Dynasty."
Ling Jing also felt that the reaction of the Turkic envoys was a bit unreasonable.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and said nothing.
If his guess is correct, the Turks probably suffered a white disaster last winter.
The Turks urgently needed time to recuperate, so they bowed to the Tang Dynasty to prevent the Tang Dynasty from taking the opportunity to send troops to the Turks.
This matter is just his speculation, and the Tang Dynasty also needs time to cultivate its vitality, so it is not easy to launch large-scale troops against the Turks.
So he could only pretend to know nothing.
Seeing that Li Yuanji had stopped talking, Ling Jing didn't say anything more and continued to deal with government affairs.
It was not until noon that all government affairs were handled.
Yang Miaoyan and Chen Shanyi appeared in the hall carrying some food.
Li Yuanji ate a little with Ling Jing.
Yang Miaoyan personally prepared the dishes for Li Yuanji. When Li Yuanji was about to eat, he suddenly said: "Alang, Mrs. Wang has a cousin who has arrived in Chang'an City recently. He intends to study at Taixue, but he can't find a way.
So I asked for help at home.
It is difficult for Mrs. Wang to speak to A Lang, so I can only speak to A Lang."
The Mrs. Wang mentioned by Yang Miaoyan was Wang Ruan who slept with her a few days ago.
Li Yuanji didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, and just asked casually, "Does he have real talent and knowledge, and what's so special about him?"
Taixue is an institution of higher learning in the Tang Dynasty, not a literacy class.
Therefore, most of the students who go to Taixue to study have some talents or special qualities.
I entered Taixue just to further my studies, and also to become an official through Taixue.
Yang Miaoyan thought for a moment and said slowly: "If you want to learn more, you should have some, otherwise you wouldn't be able to go to Taixue to study. What's so great about it...
He seems to have extraordinary courage."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, "If you are brave enough, why would you go to the Imperial Academy? Wouldn't it be better to serve as a soldier in the palace?"
The Tang Dynasty was now in the stage of entrepreneurial development, and it valued Wu Xun more than civil servants.
Therefore, under the same status conditions, Wu Xun's right to speak is much greater than that of civil servants.
It is far easier for a courageous person to strive for wealth on horseback than to strive for wealth through studying.
Yang Miaoyan smiled bitterly and said, "Then I don't know."
She also didn't understand why Wang Ruan's cousin chose to take the narrow path instead of taking the Tongtian Avenue.
Ling Jing interrupted subconsciously, "Maybe he doesn't want to use the name of Prince Qi's palace to become an official."
Young people, who have never experienced the dangers of society or been severely beaten by society, always have a higher heart than the sky.
It is reasonable to not want to climb up through nepotism, but to rely on your true talents to gain wealth.
Li Yuanji also came here when he was a teenager. He understood the nature of young people and immediately said with a smile: "Since he doesn't like me, Prince Qi's Mansion, let him go to Taixue to try his luck."
It is very easy for the Prince of Qi's Mansion to insert someone into the Imperial College.
Wang Ruan and Yang Miaoyan both spoke, and Li Yuanji had no reason to refuse.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Then I will thank Alang on behalf of Mrs. Wang."
Yang Miaoyan said with a smile.
Li Yuanji waved his hand and didn't pay attention to it.
To others, this is a thing.
It doesn't matter to him.
After all, Taixue was run by his family.
After finishing the meal with Ling Jing, Li Yuanji ordered people to escort Ling Jing out of Wude Hall.
Yang Miaoyan chatted with Li Yuanji for a while, then returned to the palace and told Wang Ruan about Li Yuanji's promise to let Wang Ruan's cousin go to Taixue to study.
Wang Ruan thanked him profusely, but Yang Miaoyan said that it was just a small matter and he didn't need to worry about it.
If Li Yuanji hadn't allowed her to interfere in matters outside the government, she wouldn't have to ask Li Yuanji about such trivial matters.
After Wang Ruan thanked Yang Miaoyan and sent Yang Miaoyan away, he immediately sent someone out of the palace to see his cousin.
To be precise, it was her cousin and her cousin's father.
Her cousin was unwilling to take advantage of nepotism to enter the Imperial Academy. It was her cousin's father who, after learning that she had flown to the branch, begged her to find a future for his son with humiliation.
She had no children, so she couldn't get the officials of Taixue to give her any favor, so she could only ask Li Yuanji for help.
So, with Li Yuanji's permission, a half-year-old boy named Wang named Xuance reluctantly entered the Imperial College under the pressure of his father and became the youngest Imperial College student in the history of the Imperial College.
.
Li Yuanji didn't know that a well-known guy was stamped with his seal by the Imperial Academy because he entered it.
Li Yuanji continued to pretend to be ill in Wude Hall.
After Li Yuan successfully "negotiated" with the Turkic envoys and sent someone to see them off, several fast horses, carrying letter flags on their backs and hanging peace plaques on their waists, broke into Mingde Gate.
Li Yuanji, who had always been thinking about Fu Gongyou, finally rebelled against him.
Fugongyou proclaimed himself emperor in Danyang, and the country was named Song Dynasty. The old palace of the Chen Dynasty was used as the palace, and hundreds of officials were appointed. Shortly after Fugongyou proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Shan'an, the general manager of Hongzhou, also rebelled.
Fu Gongyou immediately sent people to lobby Zhang Shan'an, recruited Zhang Shan'an to surrender, and appointed Zhang Shan'an as the Daxingtai of Southwest Road under him.
"Gene Era"
After surrendering Zhang Shanan, he sent his subordinates Xu Shaozong and Chen Zhengdao to attack Haizhou and Shouyang respectively.
Haizhou and Shouyang were captured.
Li Yuan got the news and Lei Lei was furious.
An edict was immediately issued for Li Xiaogong to lead Li Jing, Huang Junhan and Li Shiji to attack Fugong You.
But the decree was taken back before it even came out of the palace.
The reason is that Qu Tutong said "accidentally" that "Li Xiaogong has too many troops and horses under his control now."
Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and others all felt that this was an opportunity for Li Jiancheng to catch up with Li Shimin in terms of military achievements, and they all asked Li Jiancheng to write a letter to volunteer.
But before Li Jiancheng could submit a letter, someone in Li Jiancheng's palace tried to persuade Li Jiancheng.
Although you can gain some military merit by enlisting in the battle this time, no one knows how much time it will take.
Li Jiancheng is outside, and Li Shimin is in Chang'an.
If Li Jiancheng goes here, it is very likely that he will return with a great reputation, but it is also possible that Li Shimin will take the opportunity to seize the crown prince's position.
Li Jiancheng died down instantly.
When Li Yuan was about to send others to pacify Fugong You, he suddenly discovered that he seemed to have no commander worthy of his trust.
Among the sons, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, who were useful, fell ill, and Li Jiancheng revealed to him openly and secretly that he was too busy with government affairs and could not get away from them.
Li Yuan sent people to find Li Shentong and Li Daozong.
Li Shentong smiled bitterly and said to him, "It's okay for me to be a vanguard, but I don't have the ability to be a commander."
Li Daozong told him without hesitation, "Uncle Wang is not good at supernatural powers, let alone me."
Li Yuan suddenly didn't know who to send.
He is not willing to delegate military power to other parties.
Because he can't trust anyone other than Li.
Just when Li Shimin's people were about to tell him that although Li Shimin was ill, he could barely fight.
Li Xiuning, fully clothed, appeared in the court with his horse, Sanbao and others, and took the initiative to challenge.
