Chapter 77: Li Tingxue is about to be sent for marriage
Li Chengqian originally planned to go to Changsun Wuji’s newly opened dessert shop.
As a result, I encountered this incident on the way, and in the end I lost my mood, so I turned around and returned home.
Li Chengqian was indeed living a very cool life during this period.
Every day he either played two games of chess with Changsun Chong or played two arrows with Cheng Huailiang.
Of course, with the support of Huang Longshi and Li Guang's skill pack, they are almost invincible.
The hardest thing for him is to think about how to lose every day.
Otherwise, who can play with him?
Of course, Li Chengqian's comfort came from the fact that Li Shimin was busy with government affairs and had no time to pay attention to him.
Because of Li Chengqian's "bad idea", profit income decreased, so he could only intensify the exploitation of subordinates. ??
Therefore, Xue Yantuo, Huihe, Bayegu and other tribes rebelled against the Turks one after another and raised high banners to oppose the tyranny of Jieli.
This was confirmed by the fact that many tribes in northern Turks belonged to Xueyantuo, and the tribal leaders jointly elected the leader of Xueyantuo, "Yi Nan", as Khan.
Li Shimin is happy to see the internal fighting in the grassland come to fruition.
And he did not forget to add fuel to the fire. After Xue Yantuo established an independent country, Li Shimin sent guerrilla general Qiao Shiwang to Xue Yantuo's tribe.
The Yi man was consecrated as Zhenzhu Bijia Khan and at the same time he was given flags and drums.
In response, Yi Nan immediately responded by sending envoys with large amounts of tribute into the Tang Dynasty to express their willingness to bow to the Tang Dynasty.
This made Li Shimin extremely happy. He not only praised Yi Nan's talent and strategy, but also showered him with rewards from his envoys.
However, everything in this world is about whether some people are happy and others are angry.
Now Lao Jieli was in the sweat tent and was so angry that he overturned the table.
what happened?
I've been raising you for so long, why are you taking your whole family to live with Lao Li next door?
Lao Jieli immediately gathered his troops and fought with Yi Nan on the grassland.
How about saying that Lao Jieli had all the looks of a subjugated king? At this time, it was obvious that Xue Yantuo had just founded his country and was so powerful that he ran to fight with him. Aren't you waiting to be beaten?
This is exactly what happened. Lao Jieli was beaten up by Yi Nan and fled back to the south in despair.
Above the Northern Desert, the Turkic Xue Yantuo era, which you will sing and I will appear, also officially debuted with the rise of Xue Yantuo.
…
When he was defeated and fled, Jieli Khan looked up to the sky and sighed: "God will not help me, and the times will not help me..."
If God doesn't help you, will time go against you?
You can do it.
Even if there is a dog tied up under a handsome flag, he is better at commanding than you.
All the tribal leaders slandered.
They were very dissatisfied with Jie Li's command this time.
The only one who rushed forward to die even though he knew he couldn't be beaten was the Jieli Khan in front of him.
Zhao Deyan, a Han Chinese who came with Jie Li, was also disgraced at this time.
"Great Khan, our army has suffered heavy losses this time, so we can no longer use force against others."
"Is it possible for Ben Khan to endure such a tone?"
"If I tolerate it, how can I be allowed to command the various tribes in the desert in the future?"
Jieli was filled with anger at this time.
Zhao Deyan sighed and said: "Great Khan, look at our brothers, they really can't afford to fight."
"In these years, we have been fighting for years, and our brothers have never had a good rest."
"Now that we have suffered such a defeat, it's time to recuperate."
"If we continue to force our brothers to fight, I'm afraid that by then, there won't be any brothers left."
Although Jie Li didn't like to hear this.
But this is the fact.
Jie Li sighed: "Then according to your opinion, what should Ben Khan do now?"
"First we must negotiate peace with Yi Nan, and then with Datang."
Zhao Deyan said seriously: "
Only in this way can our department get a chance to recuperate."
"Great Khan, only with enough people can we return to the previous invincible era."
"Besides, there is another benefit to making peace with the Tang Dynasty: it can paralyze the Tang Dynasty."
"When the brothers have regained their strength by then, we can still go south."
"When the time comes, we will be able to conquer the Central Plains in one fell swoop and let all our people eat rice."
If you talk about the previous words, Jieli was quite angry after hearing this.
But when he heard the back part, he was really moved.
When encountering force majeure natural disasters, the farming people suffer the least harm, and the nomadic people can only survive the difficulties by plundering the food of the farming people.
But this year, the grassland suffered the worst snowfall in a century, and he was unable to lead his tribe to knock on the door of Datang.
Datang is really getting stronger and stronger.
And he became more and more afraid.
Jie Li looked at Zhao Deyan: "Is there really a way to negotiate peace?"
"This is the only way."
Zhao Deyan also looked at Jie Li.
Finally, Jieli nodded in agreement.
On this day, the arrogant Jieli Khan finally bowed his head to the Tang Dynasty.
An envoy was sent to Tang Dynasty to discuss peace and asked Princess Shang.
When the Turks sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty to Chang'an.
The whole city of Chang'an, from the emperor to the common people, was in an uproar.
And because of this matter, they were naturally divided into the main warlord and the two factions.
Some people believe that this is the period when the Turks are at their weakest and should be defeated as soon as possible.
Some people believe that it is not the behavior of a great power to take advantage of people's danger, so they agree to Jie's request.
And this also put Li Shimin into a dilemma.
…
After going down to court, Li Shimin left Changsun Wuji behind to discuss the matter.
In fact, when Changsun Wuji was left behind, all the ministers in the room could tell which direction the wind was coming. .
Changsun Wuji was a staunch advocate of peace, and he was the only one left after he went to court, which meant that Li Shimin wanted to make peace.
Although Li Shimin wanted to fight, he was also very rational.
The current Tang Dynasty had just fought a battle with Liang Division, and the frontline troops had just returned to their base.
If another war breaks out at this time, it will definitely bring great pressure to the people in the country.
If, like Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty, the people collapsed when he conquered Goguryeo, then everything would be in vain.
Li Shimin left his eldest son Wuji behind, and the first thing he said when he came up was: "Wuji, who do you think should be allowed to go to this wedding?"
Changsun Wuji thought about it and said: "The daughter of the clan."
"who?"
Li Shimin asked again.
Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Princess Hanyang, Li Tingxue."
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.
In fact, it was also what he had in mind for Li Tingxue to get married to the Turks.
First of all, among the many princesses, Li Tingxue has already reached the marriageable age.
Furthermore, Li Shimin really didn't like her, and he didn't like her being too close to Li Chengqian.
Therefore, whether it is for Li Chengqian or for himself, Li Tingxue is the most suitable candidate to make peace with the Turks.
Of course, Changsun Wuji also noticed this and named Li Tingxue.
His greatest ability is to decipher the Holy Will and be able to say what Li Shimin needs most when he needs it most, as well as the solution he needs most.
This is also the reason why Li Shimin dotes on him.
But Changsun Wuji couldn't help but feel a little worried: "But Your Majesty, Qian'er has always been on good terms with Princess Hanyang."
"If Princess Hanyang is allowed to go and get married, I'm afraid there will be trouble with Qian'er."
"Something happened?"
"He dares!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "If he dares to make irresponsible remarks, I will punish him without mercy this time..."
