Tai Chi Hall.

Li Yuanji sat high on the throne and looked incredulous after listening to Li Gang's explanation of the purpose of the Turkic envoy's visit.

"You're saying that the Turks brought an equal weight of gold and wanted to exchange it for their Koga Dun Yicheng?"

Li Gang sat upright and nodded with an incredulous look on his face.

Li Yuanji stared at Li Gang and asked, "Why do they do this?"

Li Gang pondered and said: "Maybe he wants to save some face."

After all, in the previous war, the Turks not only returned with a great defeat, but also captured the young Khan and kidnapped Kehe Dun.

It can be said that the Turks have lost all face.

If you can exchange gold for Kehe Dun, you can barely save some face.

Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "So, Tu Li and Xiao have given up?"

Especially Tuli.

That was the young Turkic Khan, the son of the previous Turkic Khan.

If you say you don’t want it, then you don’t want it?

Can Jieli agree, can Sunisi and other chiefs who are better than the previous Turkic Khan agree?

Li Gang thought about it and said: "That should be the case..."

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "So, Jieli should have integrated all the tribes under Tuli's command, and has completely weakened Tuli's influence on the Turks. Therefore, whether Tuli can return, it will not affect his influence on the Turks."

rule?"

Li Gang stroked his long beard and shook his head: "Jieli should have just integrated all the tribes under Tuli's command and completely eliminated all Tuli's influence on the Turks. It is not easy said."

Turli was not only the younger Turkic Khan, but also the son of the previous Turkic Khan.

The previous Turkic Khan was also a hero.

Even if Jieli could eliminate the personal influence of Tuli on the Turks, he could not eliminate the influence of the previous Turkic Khan on the Turks.

Therefore, it is not that easy for Jieli to completely eliminate the influence of Tuli on Turks.

Li Yuanji nodded in agreement and said: "Then do you think that the Turks want to exchange for Yicheng, do they simply want to save some face, or do they have other ideas?"

Although Yicheng the Kehedun has a certain influence in the Turks, due to the political structure of the Turks, the influence of the Yicheng Kehedun is very limited.

After all, Turks is a country formed by a coalition of multiple tribes, and the tribesmen are the foundation of power.

A Turkic nobleman without the support of his tribe is just a nobleman, unable to do anything or influence anyone.

It is dispensable to the Turks, and it is not worth the Turks spending a lot of money to redeem it.

Yicheng used to have a powerful country as her backer, so she had a great voice and influence in the Turks. But now this backer has collapsed, and there is nothing to support her voice and influence in the Turks.

So the Turks spent a lot of money to buy her back. Now if it was just to save some face, it was obviously not worth the gain.

"Your Highness is saying that there may be other things we don't know about?"

Li Gang subconsciously grabbed his beard and asked.

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "If I were Jieli and my Kehe Dun was plundered by another country, I would definitely not spend a lot of money to redeem her. Because this Kehe Dun has lost all support and cannot help me.

, and no longer young.

I will re-select Kehedu among all the great Turkic clans.

In this way, I can not only gain a solid ally, but also deepen my control over the Turks."

Li Gang was startled, nodded and said: "If you think about it carefully, it's really like this..."

After all, there is a Koga Dunxiang who has lost all support, cannot provide any help to the Turks, and is old and yellow. How about there is a young and beautiful Koga Dunxiang who has a huge ethnic group behind him and can provide a lot of help to the Turks?

As long as Jieli is not extremely stupid, he will definitely know how to choose.

"Then what do you think the Turks really think?"

Li Yuanji stared at Li Gang and asked again.

Li Gang was immediately stunned by the question. After being silent for a long time while holding his beard, he hesitated and said, "Could it be that Yang Zhengdao made some kind of deal with Jie Li?"

At the moment, within the Turks, it seems that the only person who can influence Jie Li and make him make such a decision is Yang Zhengdao.

Li Yuanji shook his head slightly and said: "It has been six or seven years since Yang Zhengdao fled to the Turks. I am afraid that almost everything on him has been squeezed out by Jieli. I don't think he still has enough chips to prompt Jieli to do this.

Decide."

Li Gang asked thoughtfully: "Then what do you think the Turks really think, your Highness?"

Li Yuanji didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

It's me asking you, not you asking me, my prime minister!

"It seems that His Highness doesn't know, so why not call in the Turkic envoy and ask?"

Li Gang also realized that he had said the wrong thing and asked with an embarrassed smile.

Li Yuanji hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Now that the matter has come to this, we can only call the Turkic envoys to ask.

Anyway, if you can’t figure it out, you can only look for flaws in the Turkic envoys.

"Send an order to Honglu Temple and order the Turkic envoy to visit you in an hour."

Li Gang immediately gave the order to the young eunuch guarding the entrance of the palace.

The young eunuch bowed in agreement and quickly left the Tai Chi Hall.

…

An hour later.

Li Gang summoned Pei Ju, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, Ling Jing, Ma Zhou and others to Tai Chi Hall, preparing to find flaws in the Turkic envoys.

Li Yuanji also ordered people to recruit Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Li Daoli, Li Jing, An Xinggui, Li Shiji, Shi Wanbao, Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others to accompany him.

After Zhao Chengyong got the news, he specially changed into a shiny armor and stood guard at the door of the store.

Since Yu Wenbao was promoted to the county magistrate and became an important general in the Qianniu Guard, he could no longer serve as the commander of the guards, so Li Yuanji transferred Zhao Chengyong to Prince Yong's Mansion as the commander of the guards, and ordered Yan Yunqi under his command

Together they were incorporated into the Yongwang Guard.

The number and scale of King Yong's guards are now close to catching up with Prince Liu's. Not only do they have more soldiers, but they also have a wider area.

This was a good thing Li Yuan did when he came to take charge of the overall situation during the previous war, and he also placed it at the east gate of Wucao to the east of Wude Hall. Now some people have begun to call it Wu Cao Bing.

The name sounds weird, but the strength is quite strong.

Once there is any disturbance in the palace, they can react immediately, and they can fight one against a hundred.

Because they are stationed right next to the arsenal of Tai Chi Palace, they can pull out a lot of powerful ordnance anytime and anywhere.

For example, in the imperial city, only one of the three or five stacks of crossbows was equipped. There was only one box of crossbow guns, and each team shared one.

They are extravagant, they can have one person per person, and they are also equipped with chariots.

If an equal number of soldiers and horses faced them, they would be easily crushed to death by them.

If a larger number of soldiers and horses faced them, they would be easily crushed by them in a place like the palace where they could not exert much strength advantage.

It can be said that Li Yuan made King Yong Wei into a monster without informing anyone.

That is to say, this monster is affiliated with Prince Yong's Mansion and is loyal to Prince Yong's Mansion, otherwise Li Yuanji would have broken them up long ago.

】

"call……"

Li Yuanji sat firmly on the throne of Tai Chi Hall, looking at the luxurious lineup sitting down, and let out a deep breath.

The lineup to destroy the country is ready, and we can invite the Turkic envoys to come up.

If the Turkic envoys were sensible, they would quickly tell them everything they knew.

If you don't know what to do, I'll beat you until you give me an explanation, and then I'll kill you and destroy the Turks at the same time!

"The Turkic envoys are here to see you!"

"The Turkic envoys are here to see you!"

"..."

After three loud shouts, the Turkic envoys, led by the Minister of Honglu Temple, strode into the Tai Chi Hall.

As soon as he saw the lineup in the Tai Chi Hall, everyone froze on the spot and did not dare to take a step forward again.

"It's time for you to bow to His Highness. Don't be rude."

Seeing that the Turkic envoy Yu Gu was stunned, the minister of Honglu Temple leaned slightly closer to Yu Gu and whispered a reminder.

Yugu swallowed hard, suppressed the fear in his heart, and walked to the hall step by step.

He can be considered a person who has seen a lot of things in the world. If it were an ordinary scene, he would not even blink.
