Abalasha is a middle-aged man, about forty years old. He used to be the right general of the Western Turks, and later became the prime minister of the Western Turks. He is considered a powerful figure in the Western Turks. After hearing that Li Xiang came here, the Western Turks sent
He came to greet him.
This is the reason why Li You made trouble. If he had not done this wrong thing, the King of Western Turks would definitely have gone out of the city thirty miles to greet him. But because of this matter, the lover can send a prime minister here, which is already a great deal of face for you.
Yes, of course it can be seen from this that the Western Turks do not want to fight.
"Lord Xiangguo."
If we did something wrong here, we should be held accountable. In order to know what the Western Turks knew about the situation, Li Xiang went out and took the lead in surrendering.
The surrounding officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were very angry. Even though Li You was able to make these people kneel down, our Highness the Emperor Taisun still wants to interact with you as equals. It really humiliates our Highness the Emperor Grandson. Of course these
If you think about it carefully, you can't blame me for this. It's all the fault of that guy Li You.
"Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, on behalf of the King and Queen of our country, I would like to welcome you to Turks..."
There are a lot of colorful diplomatic rhetoric, but none of them are useful. In the past, I am afraid that Li Xiang would have interrupted this person, but now Li Xiang is more unreasonable, so he has to listen to these words honestly.
Just finish it.
"Thank you for the welcome from the King and Queen of your country. This time I brought some exquisite tea leaves from Chang'an City, please taste it, Mr. Xiangguo."
Li Xiang got out of the way. Originally, according to the idea of the Prime Minister, after the king and queen expressed their wishes, they should leave here immediately. After all, the Tang Dynasty has a bad reputation in the country and has stayed here for a long time.
It will also have an impact on his reputation.
But it was obvious that Li Xiang invited him sincerely, and when the Prime Minister came, the King of Western Turks also told him not to be too enthusiastic, but at the same time, he could not offend Li Xiang, because everyone knew that Li Xiang was like this
You can't afford to offend someone, not even with a word. If you say something wrong, a war may break out at any time. Refer to Tuyuhun and Goguryeo back then.
"Then disturb His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."
Abalasha slightly bent her waist, and then followed Li Xiang to the tent. There was no one else inside, so Eunuch Han could only go and pour the tea himself, and Abalasha did not let her men
Follow up.
"The taste is really exquisite. We grassland people have to rely on tea to survive. If there is no tea, then we will get a strange disease. Over the years, a large part of our income has been used to buy tea. But since your Tang Dynasty
After learning how to fry tea leaves, our expenses seem to be greater than before."
Abalasha is a master of tea tasting. In fact, for the people of Western Turks, many people want to taste such tea because the oil and water in their stomachs is too high, but such tea is sold in Chang'an City.
It costs hundreds of guan per catty, but when it comes to Western Turks, it will be multiplied several times, so ordinary people can't drink it at all.
"If Mr. Xiangguo likes it, I still have quite a few here."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he waved to the side, and someone immediately sent a gift box. Judging from the gift box, there must be at least nearly ten kilograms of tea in it.
Abalasha is a person who knows the goods. Just these ten kilograms of tea cost at least several thousand dollars. Although he is the prime minister of the Western Turks, the Western Turks are a poor country. Even if someone asks him to do something,
It is impossible to give such an expensive gift all at once.
"His Royal Highness the Grandson is too polite. In fact, the war between our two countries has been going on for so many years. We don't want to start a war again. We also want to pursue peace, but there is really nothing we can do about this matter right now. Our country and
Many people from your country have seen it with their own eyes, and King Youxian is the most important minister of our country..."
What Abalasha said is also true. King Youxian's status in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to that of Li Tai. If Li Tai's wife was ruined by envoys from other countries, if the Tang Dynasty let such a person leave,
, then there is no way to face the people of the world. This is what the Western Turks are facing now.
Abalasha is a smart man, and there are several meanings in his words. They don't want to leave Li You here, but they must give an explanation to King Youxian, and at the same time, they must give an explanation to all the people. The Western Turks still have to give an explanation.
It requires strong cohesion. If even such a thing can be endured, then do you think the people of Xitu will still follow such a king?
When they retreated from the Turkic territories, there were not many people from them. Now if these people's hearts are broken again, then these people are likely to move to other places.
"Lord Xiang Guo is right. This incident happened so suddenly that I can't figure out some of the things involved. If possible, could you please let me meet with the officials who investigated the matter?"
From beginning to end, Li Xiang did not dare to admit or apologize for this matter, which made Abalasha feel a little unhappy. However, if you think about it, you can understand that Li Xiang is now the emperor's grandson of the Tang Empire.
, every action represents the Tang Empire, how can you apologize in advance?
Even if the whole matter is found out, it is impossible for Li Xiang to apologize, and it is possible that the matter will be attributed to Li You personally.
"This involves a lot of secrets of our country, so your highness cannot see them, but I can try to let your highness see all the files. If your highness has something that you don't understand, we can also contact each other, and our country can also
I don’t want to be the enemy of Datang, but there must be an explanation for this matter.”
With those tea leaves as a stepping stone, what Mr. Xiangguo said was very straightforward. Eunuch Han breathed a sigh of relief beside him. At this time, he had recovered his senses. In fact, it was the same as some things in the Tang Dynasty court. As long as
It is because we have reached an agreement on interests and everything can go well. We were so panicked before simply because we didn't understand this truth.
At that time, they also thought about giving gifts, but other people also have the things you gave. Although they are also valuable, they may not be willing to accept them. The things Li Xiang sent are rare things. Even if he reaches the position of Lord Xiangguo, he may not be willing to accept them.
