"How could I, the Turk, ask for benefits from the Tang Dynasty?"
While Tuli was thinking wildly, he subconsciously asked the doubts in his heart.
Li Yuanji smiled and said meaningfully: "What do you think?"
Tu Li swallowed his saliva subconsciously and said in a very uncertain tone: "Could it be that during the period when I was imprisoned by you, I, the Tujue, went to war with you, the Tang Dynasty, and won the battle, so you dare not
Tang wants to give me Turkic benefits?"
Li Yuanji chuckled and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
Tuli swallowed again and said nothing.
Obviously, this is unlikely.
With Datang's current status in the world, it would be nice not to cause trouble to others, but who would dare to cause trouble to Datang.
However, if the Tang Dynasty did not go to war with the Turks and was not defeated by the Turks, then why did the Tang Dynasty give benefits to the Turks?
It couldn't be that the Tang Dynasty was so rich in supplies that it really had no space to use them, so it couldn't be so merciful that it started giving alms to its neighbors, right?
is it possible?
Faced with Tu Li's silence, Li Yuanji continued to smile: "If what you said really happened, and Jie Li didn't take this opportunity to save you, but instead blindly asked me about Datang's favors, what would you do?
?”
When Tuli heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Although Li Yuanji said 'if', he knew clearly that if the Turks really defeated the Tang Dynasty and had the qualifications to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty, Jie Li would definitely do this.
Jieli doesn't care whether he lives or dies.
Otherwise, when he was in Qingzhou, Jieli would not plot against him in order to annex his tribe.
"What can I do? I can't do anything as a prisoner."
Tuli said through gritted teeth, his hatred for Jieli rising to another level, and by the way he also hated Sunisu.
If Sunisu had been willing to help him when Jieli was plotting against him, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Yuanji smiled again and said: "Although you are a prisoner, you can do a lot. As long as you are willing to be used by the Tang Dynasty and do your best for the Tang Dynasty, you will wait until the Tang Dynasty is conquered."
When the Turks are in power, I don’t mind supporting you to become the new Turk Khan.”
At this point, Li Yuanji paused and added: "It's still the Great Khan, not the Little Khan."
Tuli's eyes suddenly lit up, he raised his head and asked excitedly: "Are you really willing to support me?"
The Central Plains Dynasty has always supported the grassland people to work as khans on the grasslands, and there are many examples of khans dominating the grasslands with the support of the Central Plains Dynasty.
So Tuli did not doubt the authenticity of this matter.
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded.
Of course it's true...that's weird.
He has tried his best to restore Dingkou in the Tang Dynasty, just to explore the grassland.
How could it be possible to support Tuli to become the new khan on the grassland?!
However, Tuli obviously believed his lies. In order to make Tuli work harder to help Datang deal with the Turks, he had no choice but to go along with the situation.
Anyway, it was Tuli and Tujue who were injured in the end, not him and Datang.
"You only support me and not others?"
Tu Li asked even more excitedly.
Li Yuanji nodded without hesitation: "Of course, do you think I have any other choice besides you?"
After receiving a positive answer, the joy on Tu Li's face could no longer be concealed. He promised with almost no hesitation: "I am willing to help you do anything!"
Including dying?
Li Yuanji smiled knowingly, asked silently in his heart, and then said without changing his expression: "Then please go to Yugu or other Turkic envoys first to find out the information I want."
Tuli nodded without hesitation and immediately prepared to leave for Honglu Temple. However, after taking two steps, he paused and said: "You haven't told me yet, why did your Tang Dynasty want to give me the benefits of Turks? You let me
What is the purpose of these things that I ask about?"
Li Yuanji asked: "Is this important?"
Tu Li stood there blankly.
Isn't this important?
However, he had just made a verbal agreement with Li Yuanji and had taken advantage of it. Li Yuanji was unwilling to explain it clearly, and it was difficult for him to ask questions, so he could only nod and set off again to Honglu Temple.
Li Yuanji gave the people who were 'serving' Tuli a wink, asking them to follow him quickly, staring at Tuli, and then smiled at the steward of Tuli's mansion and ordered: "In the future, you have to treat our
The prince who is about to become a Turkic Khan is better."
The person in charge was a smart man. He had long seen that Li Yuanji was drawing a pie for Tuli, and he also guessed why Li Yuanji was drawing a pie for Tuli. He immediately said with a bright smile: "I understand, I will definitely do it in the future."
Serve our Turkic Khan well."
Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction and left Tuli's mansion with a smile.
Tuli has taken care of this, so there is no need to meet the difficult Yicheng.
Compared with Tuli, Yicheng is obviously more difficult to deal with.
Because Yicheng has passed the age where she will be tempted by big cakes, it doesn't matter how many big cakes are drawn for her. Only by offering tangible benefits can Yicheng be driven to do things.
Datang could give Yicheng some benefits, but to give Yicheng benefits for such a thing is really a bit of a loss.
…
Tu Li was very efficient in doing things. Not long after Li Yuanji returned to the palace, Tu Li got the matter done, got rid of the palace stewards and delivered the news to the palace.
Li Yuanji got the real list issued by Tang Jian, but he didn't rush to read it. Instead, he asked the steward of Tuli Mansion.
"How did Tuli get things done so quickly?"
The steward bent down and answered truthfully: "After Tuli arrived at Honglu Temple, he first inquired about the specific situation of the Turkic envoys, and then found someone who had worked under him before, and blocked the entrance of Honglu Temple.
In a corner, I was given a severe lesson.
Then the man told everything he knew."
Li Yuanji shook his head and said with a smile: "It's true... one thing brings down another thing."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tuli was able to complete this matter so quickly, thanks to Jieli's assist.
If Jieli hadn't sent people who had worked under Tuli in the past as envoys, Tuli wouldn't have been able to get out all the information so easily.
After all, most of the people who can be sent as envoys are very close-knit, and it is very difficult to extract useful information from them.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to invite Tuli to come out when the people from Honglu Temple were already dispatched.
Tuli has a natural advantage against the old team of the past.
The betrayal of his old subordinates will make him feel guilty when facing Tuli, so Tuli can rely on this guilt to ask everything he wants as long as he suppresses the other party's momentum.
Obviously, Tuli did a good job in this matter, overwhelming the opponent with momentum, and asking everything he wanted to know.
"You go down first and keep a close eye on Tuli. If Tuli does anything unusual, report it to me in time."
Li Yuanji waved his hand, indicating to the steward that he could go down, and gave some instructions before leaving.
With Tu Li's nature, after prying the old tribe's mouth open, he would never simply ask for the information that Datang needed. He would definitely try his best to understand everything about the Turks, as well as the situation of his old tribe and tribe.
And this situation should not be too good. After all, Jieli is not a good person. After suffering serious damage in the Gyeongju Battle, in order to make up for the losses on the battlefield and maintain his rule, he will definitely use Tuli.
All the old tribes and tribes under his command were annexed, and those who followed Tuli loyally were eradicated.
After Tuli learned about this situation, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.
Therefore, people must keep an eye on it, lest Tuli burns down the house, or goes to kill Yugu with a knife and collect some interest first.
"I understand that I will keep an eye on Tuli."
The steward agreed and walked backwards out of the Tai Chi Hall.
After the supervisor completely disappeared, Li Yuanji picked up the secret book and deciphered the news sent back by Tang Jian according to the list that Tu Li had tricked out.
After deciphering the information word for word and understanding the information sent back by Tang Jian, Li Yuanji looked stunned.
"It is said that Li Gang, Pei Ju, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, Qu Tutong, Shi Wanbao, Li Jing, and Su Dingfang are here to pay their respects."
Li Yuanji quickly ordered.
After Liu Jun bowed in agreement, he immediately sent the visitors in front of the palace to convey the order.
Not long after, Li Gang and others gathered in the Tai Chi Hall.
While Li Gang and others looked puzzled, Li Yuanji said straight to the point: "I have obtained what we want through Tuli, and I have translated it. You all have a look."
With that said, with Li Gang and others looking confused, Liu Jun was asked to pass what he had deciphered to Li Gang.
Li Gang was still in a daze. When Liu Jun handed the thing to him, he was stunned again. Then he came back to his senses, then took the thing in Liu Jun's hand and read it carefully. After reading it,
, with a look of astonishment on his face.
Then there are Pei Ju, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Li Shentong.
By the time the items were passed to Li Xiaogong's hands, Li Gang had completely come to his senses and asked in an unbelievable tone: "Is this true?"
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "It should be true. It is impossible for Tang Jian to pass false news to us."
At this time, the things had been circulated to Li Jing. After reading them, Li Jing said without hesitation: "This is an opportunity for us, a God-given opportunity."
Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong nodded in unison.
Although Li Gang, Pei Ju, Xiao Yu, and Chen Shuda did not nod, they did not object to Li Jing's statement.
Su Dingfang had already received the items after Li Jing finished speaking. After reading them quickly, he said with a smile: "It is indeed an opportunity. As long as we make good use of it, we will definitely win a big victory."
