Zhao Chengyong immediately stepped forward, stopped the person coming, and said in a bad tone: "Who are you, who dare to stop the king?"
The visitor arranged his clothes in a decent manner, cupped his fists and said, "The Turks have come to ask for an audience with His Highness King Yong of the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhao Chengyong looked the person up and down, snorted, and returned to the king's car to report.
"Your Highness, an envoy from Suni's lost tribe stopped in front of us and said he wanted to see you."
The reason why Zhao Chengyong concluded that the other party was a member of Suni's lost tribe was because the other party was wearing Yuan clothes, which had only emerged in the Tang Dynasty in the past two years, and was wearing a weapon of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Turks, the only people who could wear the Yuan robes of the Tang Dynasty and be equipped with the weapons of the Tang Dynasty were those who lost their tribes in Suni.
That was the assistance given to them by the Tang Dynasty.
Without the assistance of the Tang Dynasty, it would have been impossible to produce Yuan Yi in large quantities and forge superior weapons with their meager products and craftsmanship.
"The people who lost their troops in Suni? What are you doing here to see me at this time?"
Li Yuanji was sitting sideways in the carriage, holding a memorial from Chang'an City.
Zhao Chengyong shook his head and said: "I don't know this. Why don't you go and ask?"
Li Yuanji thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Let's forget it and just let him come over."
Anyway, the Turks only had a few horses, and with thousands of guards looking around, they couldn't make any big waves.
There is no need to guess what the purpose is, just call over and ask and you will know.
"Here!"
Zhao Chengyong agreed and went to deliver the order.
Li Yuanji took advantage of this opportunity to ask Li Shimin, who was also sitting in the car boredly reading the memorials from Chang'an City, "Second brother, why do you think Sunisu sent someone here at this time?"
Li Shimin put down the memorial from Pei Juxu that he was reading in his hand, rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you already send someone to summon him? If you want to know anything, just ask him directly. Why do you need me?"
Guess."
Li Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "What does it matter if you take a guess?"
He doesn't have to guess and waste his brain cells, but leaving a political and military leader like Li Shimin without it is simply a waste.
It's also a great thing for Li Shimin to waste his brain cells.
It helped Li Shimin keep his mind clear and politically clear, so that he would not become confused when he was forty or fifty years old.
Li Shimin curled his lips and said angrily: "What else can they do here? They just come to challenge you and test your attitude."
Li Yuanji nodded and asked with a smile: "What do you mean by my attitude?"
Li Shimin pouted and rolled his eyes: "Do you still need me to explain this to you? Now you are about to send troops to destroy the Turks. As a member of the Turks, how could Suni not test your attitude?
If you just want to destroy Jieli and support him to become the new Khan of the Turks and make him bow to you, then he will probably help you.
If you not only want to destroy Jieli, but also want to destroy him and turn Turks into the territory of our Tang Dynasty, then he will have to consider whether to join forces with Jieli and deal with you together.
Do you understand now?"
After Li Shimin said this, he had a look of disgust on his face, as if he was unwilling to say another word.
Li Yuanji nodded and said with a smile: "I see, then how do you think I should deal with it?"
Li Shimin closed his mouth and didn't want to speak.
Li Yuanji said excitedly: "Isn't there anything that second brother can do?"
Li Shimin couldn't pretend anymore and said angrily: "Don't use provoking methods to provoke me, it's useless! If you want to ask me to help you come up with a solution, just show your attitude of asking for help instead of provoking me here!"
"
Li Yuanji pretended not to hear Li Shimin's words and continued to laugh: "So, the second brother has an idea. Let's talk about it quickly."
Li Shimin stared, shut his mouth angrily, and refused to say another word.
Li Yuanji didn't force it, he smiled and nodded and said: "Since the second brother doesn't want to say anything, then please ask the second brother to see if my method is feasible."
While he was talking, Zhao Chengyong had already brought the people from Suni's missing tribe.
He was a burly middle-aged man dressed in Tang Dynasty clothes but with a Turkic appearance.
His appearance and attire seemed a little inconsistent, and to the people of the Tang Dynasty, he seemed a bit nondescript.
Originally there was a scimitar at his waist and a short sword inlaid with gems in his boots, which was also commonly known as a dagger.
But when passing by the second floor of guards, the guards stopped and confiscated it.
Originally, he wanted to shout a few harsh words, saying that it is shameful to have a knife while a person is still there, but after meeting the guards' eyes that looked like they were looking at a dead person, he forcefully suppressed these words.
So when he arrived in front of Wang Jia, he looked like he was holding back his urine and looked very awkward.
Not only did it not match his burly figure and rugged aura, it also added a bit of humor to him.
"The Turks established Ashina Society and met His Highness King Yong of the Tang Dynasty."
The burly middle-aged Turk raised his fists and saluted.
He did not use words such as "see" and "visit", but used a more equal word of "see".
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, stared at the other person in astonishment and said, "Tell me, who are you?"
Ashinasheer was stunned, clasped his fists again and said: "The Turks established Ashinasheer."
In the Turks, only the prince Longsun can hold the position.
As long as the official position is set up, it is either the son or grandson of the Turkic Khan, or the brother of the Turkic Khan.
It is somewhat similar to the king of the Tang Dynasty, but there is no distinction between prince and king.
For example, Jieli's son Yugu was called Yugushe in Turks.
Those located in Turks are eligible to build Yazhang, which is similar to the establishment of government offices in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a prince-level government office. Not only does it have absolute power to rule the place it belongs to, it can also be ruled by the Turks after the death of the Turks Khan, leaving the Turks without a leader.
At that time, he established himself as Khan King, or competed for the position of Khan King.
This is how Ashina Simo was promoted in the Sui Dynasty before Qimin Khan fled.
And this Ashinasheer was the son of the Turkic Chuluo Khan.
Like Ashina Simo, he prefers the Tang Dynasty, but he is different from Ashina Simo in that his heart is in the Turks.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Historically, he followed Jieli. When Xue Yantuo and the Uighurs betrayed the Turks and fled to the Western Turks, he led an army to conquer, but was defeated by Xue Yantuo.
He was forced to run west and took refuge in Futu City.
When the Turks were destroyed by Li Jing, the leader of the Western Turks, Yehu Khan, also died. Taking advantage of the civil strife between the brothers of the Dulu Khan of the Western Turks, he sent troops to conquer the Western Turks again and successively captured the Western Turks.
Half of the territory was established as Dubu Khan.
Later, due to the great victory of the Western Turks, the Khan won the victory, secured his position as the Western Turks Khan, defeated him, and regained the territory of the Western Turks. He was forced to defeat Gaochang Kingdom.
Historically, in the ninth year of Zhenguan, because he was afraid of the Western Turks, he finally had to lead his troops to submit to the Tang Dynasty and became a Tibetan general of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was very happy about this and married Hengyang to him and turned him into his brother-in-law.
It's just that he hasn't experienced so much yet, and he doesn't even work under Jieli anymore, but instead goes under Sunisu's command.
Speaking of which, between Jie Li and Sunisu, he should be closer to Jie Li.
After all, Jieli was his biological uncle, and Sunisu was his great-uncle.
Why would he betray Jie Li and go under Suni's care?!
Turks don't pay much attention to seniority.
"Are you Ashina Sher? The son of the late Chuluo Khan?"
Li Yuanji looked at Ashina Sheer curiously and asked.
This was another Tibetan general who could be recruited by the Tang Dynasty, work for the Tang Dynasty, and even die for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuanji originally thought that if he wanted to see him, he would have to wait until Jie Li was defeated or captured, but he didn't expect to see him now.
Ashina Sheer nodded solemnly and said: "I am the son of Fuhan."
Li Yuanji nodded and asked curiously, "Have you not been working under Jie Li? Why did you end up working under Suni?"
Jieli is your father's brother, and Sunishi is your grandfather's brother. In terms of closeness, Jieli is definitely closer to you.
Li Yuanji cursed in his heart but did not say this out loud.
Ashina Sheer said with a heavy face: "I have always hoped that my Turks can live in peace with the Tang Dynasty, but my uncle is not willing to live in peace with the Tang Dynasty, and even sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty many times. My uncle is willing to live in peace with the Tang Dynasty.
, Datang also showed goodwill to my uncle, so I am naturally more willing to serve my uncle."
These words sounded so innocent, not like something a prince of a country could say.
After all, any prince or prince with some intelligence cannot naively think that countries can live in peace with each other.
But he happened to say this, and it was in line with his character.
Ashina Sheer in history was such a person who was good at fighting but also loved peace.
It sounds very contradictory, but according to historical records, it is like this.
Historically, when Jie Li invaded the Tang Dynasty, he warned him many times, but unfortunately it had no effect.
Because of this, he did not participate in any war between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty during Jieli's conquest of the Tang Dynasty.
It was not until Xue Yantuo and Huihe betrayed the Turks that Jieli sent Yugu to conquer them. After Yugu's army was defeated, he led his army to the expedition.
For the next seven or eight years, he kept running against Xue Yantuo and the Western Turks.
Until the new Khan of Western Turks takes office
After ascending to the throne, he was forced to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
So judging from his resume, he is indeed a man who is good at fighting but also loves peace.
And the peace he likes is between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty.
Within the Turks, especially with the Western Turks, he is not so peace-loving.
Li Yuanji guessed that the reason why his temperament became like this and the reason why he became close to the Tang Dynasty might have something to do with Yicheng.
After all, Yicheng is not only his grandmother, but also his mother. He must have been around Yicheng when he was a child, and it is reasonable to be influenced by Yicheng to a certain extent.
"I see……"
Li Yuanji nodded suddenly.
Ashina Sheer continued what he said and said with some sadness and anger: "But the Turks have goodwill towards the Tang Dynasty and are willing to live in peace with the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty is unwilling to continue to maintain goodwill towards the Turks and live in peace with the Turks.
