Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "Why did you choose him?"
"This man is a great hero of his generation. If he hadn't come from a rough background, he would have the qualities of a genius!"
Changsun Sheng spoke very highly of it, and when he told it, he was afraid that Gu Cheng wouldn't believe it, so he gave examples one by one.
How did Temujin go from being alone to showing his talents for the first time, and then being hunted down and surrounded by Dulan Khan?
They all have their own nest allies, and together they have formed a vertical and horizontal alliance, and have developed into the largest horse thieves gang in the Turks.
"This person is indeed extraordinary, but it is impossible for him to become a Khan unless..."
Gu Cheng looked at Changsun Sheng.
"Unless the position of Khan is just a puppet decoration, the Eastern and Western Turks have other plans!"
Changsun Sheng did not dare to hide his clumsiness and continued: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to test the truth, but it only requires one person!"
Gu Cheng was curious: "Who?"
Changsun Sheng was a little apprehensive: "Princess Dayi!"
"Princess Dayi?"
Gu Cheng's eyes darkened: "She's the daughter of a thousand-gold princess, a Turk!"
Princess Qianjin was called by later generations the most tragic marriage princess in history. Just looking at her experiences, this is indeed the case.
On the anniversary of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Princess Qianjin, who was only sixteen years old, married the Turkic Shabolu Khan.
It was undoubtedly a humiliating marriage. The Turkic Rongdi asked for marriage, but Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was afraid of his strength and had to agree to it.
In the second year after Princess Qianjin got married, Emperor Xuan died of illness. Yang Jian usurped the position of the young emperor and killed the seven-year-old grandson and all the princes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Princess Qianjin's father raised an army against Yang Jian and was also killed.
Nine tribes.
When the bad news came, Princess Qianjin immediately began to persuade her husband Shabolu Khan to go south to avenge her natal family.
As a result, the Turks sent 400,000 troops and invaded on a large scale. Although they were finally repelled by the Sui army, they also killed all the livestock in Ganzhou, Suzhou and other places on the border, and the land was covered with blood for thousands of miles.
It was also after that war that the Turks were in civil strife and began to split. Princess Qianjin was able to bend and stretch. In order to help her husband get out of the predicament, she wrote a letter asking for peace.
At that time, Yang Jian had just ascended the throne, and the government was unstable. He also had no energy to attack the Turks, so he retreated and gave the princess the surname Yang, adopted her as an adopted daughter, and named her the Princess of Righteousness. He hoped that she would understand the rightness and make contributions to the border stability between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks.
Make a contribution.
For Princess Qianjin, this is recognizing a thief as her father, while for Yang Jian, this is a compromise. Both parties are holding back a sense of hatred, maintaining the so-called father-daughter relationship, and waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
In Gu Cheng's view, right or wrong, as early as the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the princess was no longer Han, but a Turk.
But then again, even though the hatred between the two parties is very deep, the identity of Princess Qianjin is that she is the adopted daughter of Yang Jian, the adopted sister of the current Holy Emperor, and she is still an eldest princess...
That's why Changsun Sheng was very afraid.
This is a little careless, but it will trap the Supreme Emperor in injustice!
"I remember that when Princess Qianjin got married, you, as the deputy envoy, escorted her to the flag of Sabolo Khan!"
Gu Cheng thought for a while, but he was not careless and asked.
"Your Majesty, I am not only the deputy envoy of the princess, but I will also take this opportunity to stay in Turks for a year and use the opportunity of hunting to inspect the situation of the mountains and rivers and the strength of the tribe!"
Only by knowing the enemy can you win a hundred battles without danger. Changsun Sheng is the best example.
In the past fifteen years, he has spent most of his time on the grassland, and he has a good understanding of the Turks' true and false conditions. Only then will he have the capital to turn clouds and rain with his hands in the future.
"If this woman loses her title as Princess of the Sui Dynasty, how are you going to use her?"
Gu Cheng asked again.
"My envoy's plan is crude, I'm afraid it will offend His Majesty's ears!"
Changsun Sheng paused and said: "Princess Qianjin has a resolute character and is good at making decisions. She is not an easy person. Although I bought her maids, I couldn't find any opportunities to take advantage of them. However, the Turkic Khan was rude and her boudoir was lonely.
It’s hard to hold back anymore, I have a disciple named Zhao Deyan, he looks fair and tender..."
He didn't say any more, but Gu Cheng's expression was already quite strange.
As expected, people in the Demon Sect have no taboos. Do you also use the beauty trick?
But don't tell me, this move is extremely vicious.
Now that Princess Qianjin's first wife, Sabolo Khan, has died, according to Turkic customs, Princess Qianjin has married her husband's son, Dulan Khan.
This kind of custom is really unacceptable to the Han people, but to the barbarian Rongdi people, their population is sparse, and in order to reproduce, it is normal for a woman to succeed her younger brother.
However, one thing that needs to be noted is that Turks do not allow women to commit adultery.
So if Princess Qianjin had a face-shou and was discovered by Dulan Khan, she would definitely die.
Of course, Gu Cheng would never allow this kind of thing to happen to a royal princess, so the question now is how to get rid of her identity as a princess of the Sui Dynasty...
"Princess Qianjin's father is the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. You are an old minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Do you know his hobbies?"
Gu Cheng thought for a while and asked.
"Her father is Yu Wenzhao, the king of Zhao in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He is an outstanding martial artist, elegant and elegant, and has many hobbies!"
Changsun Sheng tried hard to recall, his eyes lit up: "Besides the magic weapon, Yuwenzhao has the best screen. He once collected the Western Han Dynasty colorful painted screens at a high price!"
Screens were created in the Western Han Dynasty and became popular in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Every high-ranking official’s house did not have a screen. Gu Cheng waved his hand and said, “Move all the screens in the palace into the palace!”
When the emperor opened his mouth, his servants ran away and broke their legs. Fortunately, martial arts prevailed in this world, otherwise those heavy screens would not have been moved at will.
Thanks to Yang Jian's frugality, the luxurious decorations in the palace today are basically inherited from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Gu Cheng has not changed them.
Yang Jian was really frugal, and Gu Cheng looked down upon the pleasures of this world, but in the eyes of historians, father and son were of the same line, and both were wise kings rarely seen throughout the ages.
But this time, Gu Cheng was generous and said to Changsun Sheng:
"Choose one side and give it to this Turk Ketun!"
…
…
Eastern Turks, in the king's tent.
Princess Qianjin looked at the gorgeous screen in front of her crazily.
Having lived outside the Great Wall for a long time, she had not seen such a gorgeous thing for a long time. Looking at the things and thinking about them, she instantly remembered the scene of her brother and sister playing together in front of the screen when they were young.
At this moment, the personal maid brought the four treasures of the study that Yang Jian had rewarded in the past.
She looked sharply, new and old hatreds welling up in her heart, and she wrote a poem on the screen.
"The ups and downs are waiting for the morning revelation, the world is like duckweed...Where is the wealth and honor now, empty things are described...I am the prince of the royal family, drifting into the imperial court...Once I see success or failure, my arms suddenly become wild..."
When this anti-poem hit him in the face, the Turkic envoy was so frightened that his limbs trembled and he could not even speak.
I could only hear the majestic and angry voice from the throne coming from afar: "I decree! The righteous princess has left the embers of evil, is not grateful for heaven's grace, looks forward to the barbarians, and speaks sycophants. The title of princess of the Sui Dynasty is abolished!"
