The first thousand six hundred and fifty fifth chapters remain neutral
A group of people came to the government office in Shule City and saw that the display was very simple. In particular, there was a long oval table in the middle, with some armchairs on the sides, and there were rows of chairs on both sides of the round table.
bench.[][]..[]
Ibrahim II was a country boy, so he couldn't understand this pattern, so he couldn't help but be stunned.
Aren't you the master? You arranged for me to take a seat. Humph, don't take on this porcelain job without diamonds! Li Qi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Everyone, I'm just a guest. I don't know who is the master, so I don't know who the master is."
It’s easy to arrange seats, so I simply set up a round table. Please bear with me.”
Ibrahim II was overjoyed when he heard this.
Wanyan Zongwang frowned when he heard this.
Ibrahim II was certainly happy when he heard that Li Qi admitted that he was just a guest.
However, Wanyan Zongwang, who had dealt with Li Qi a lot, and heard Li Qi say that he didn't know who the master was, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. This guy was very shady, and his words were full of mystery.
But in any case, the round table was arranged just right. As the Khan, Ibrahim II naturally occupied the top position and sat at the top of the round table. Wanyan Zongwang, as the notary, naturally sat on the edge. Liu Yanzong, Shu Liesu, etc.
The generals sat on both sides, while the other generals sat behind.
Next, everyone's eyes fell on Li Qi. They originally thought that Li Qi must be sitting opposite Ibrahim II, so that he could have a negotiating posture!
Unexpectedly, Li Qi tilted his buttocks and sat opposite Wanyan Zongwang. Wu Jie and Zhuang Xiang sat on the left and right of him respectively, while Zhang Xian and Yang Zaixing sat in the back.
His move made both Ibrahim II and Wanyan Zongwang stunned.
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said: "Privy Envoy, shouldn't you be sitting there?"
Li Qi hurriedly said: "How dare you, how dare you, I'm just here to join in the fun, that's not my place to sit."
Wanyan Zongwang frowned and said, "Joining in the fun? Then who does King Khan want to talk to?"
"it's me."
Suddenly there was a voice outside the door. A young man in his twenties walked in. He was very impressive and talented. Judging from his service, he was definitely not Han Chinese, but more like a Turk.
Wanyan Zongwang frowned and said, "Who are you?"
The young man said loudly: "I am Yuchi Boluo, the fourth generation direct grandson of Yuchi Bodhidharma."
When Ibrahim II heard about Yuchi Bodhidharma, he couldn't help but look shocked.
Wanyan Zongwang asked in confusion: "Yuchi Bodhidharma?"
Li Qi hurriedly said: "Second Prince, this Yuchi Bodhidharma was the former king of Khotan. King Khan should know him."
Khotan originated from the Western Han Dynasty. It prospered for a time because it was an important stronghold of Silk Road trade. It was also a distribution center for Western trade and business travel, and the hub of Eastern and Western cultures.
The Tang Dynasty once established the Bisha Governor's Office here, and later paid tribute to the Song Dynasty. However, at the beginning of the 11th century, in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was destroyed by the powerful Karakhanid Dynasty. The Yuchi family was forced to flee here and distributed in the Hehuang area.
Xixia, Tubo, Gaochang Uighur and other places.
Wanyan Zongwang had just come out of the ravine not long ago. He probably had only heard of Khotan, and how could he know about the Yuchi family? However, Liu Yanzong, as an old minister of the Liao Kingdom, had heard about it. He quickly told Wanyan Zongwang about the Yuchi family.
Said it once.
Wanyan Zongwang frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Li Qi.
Even if you can hide behind and play the role of a pig to eat a tiger, I can do it too! Li Qi took a sip of tea and acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Ibrahim II looked at Yuchi Boluo coldly and said, "That's right if you say so!"
Yuchi Poluo took out a small baggage from his arms. He put it on the table and opened it, only to find a jade seal inside. He also heard him say: "This is the jade seal of my Yuchi family. If the king of Khan doesn't believe it, he will be killed." Can be inspected."
Ibrahim II hummed: "So what, what are you doing here?"
Yuchi Boluo sat majestically opposite Ibrahim II and said: "My ancestors worked hard to build this place. For hundreds of years, my Yuchi family has been ruling here. Every plant and tree here is planted by my ancestors." "My descendants, thirty years ago your Karakhanid dynasty invaded our Khotan Kingdom, drove us away from here, and occupied this place. Now I am here to regain our homeland."
Wanyan Zongwang laughed and said: "Privy Councilor, we are here to negotiate with you, why did you find an outsider to do this?"
Ibrahim II also realized that the Yuchi family was in pieces and was unable to rule here again. This must be Li Qi's obstruction. He also asked Li Qi: "Privy Councilor, what is going on?"
Li Qi sighed and said: "Speaking of this matter, you have to blame the Eastern Karahan Dynasty."
"Blame us?"
Ibrahim II looked at Li Qi in surprise, feeling extremely wronged. I am the biggest victim!
"Isn't it?"
Li Qidao: "I really don't know why King Khan invited Yelu Dashi here. Do you know how much trouble this brings to us? Please just invite him. You can't just abandon people after using them. This is good, Yelu Dashi." We were cornered by you and wanted to break out to my side. Our army was careless for a moment and was succeeded by Yelu Dashi. Not to mention weapons and food, we also suffered heavy losses. Who should I ask for this account? Not only Is it easy for me to swallow this boring loss?
But as a big country in the Central Plains, how can we be bullied by a lost dog? We must teach Yelu Dashi a lesson. Just when we were preparing to launch a massive counterattack, we happened to meet Prince Yuchi who was leading an army here to prepare to return home, so we We jointly attacked Yelu Dashi. Fortunately, our army won a complete victory and defeated Yelu Dashi and returned home."
Having said this, he looked at Wanyan Zongwang apologetically and said: "Second Prince, I know you have been capturing Yelu Dashi. At that time, I also wanted to capture Yelu Dashi and give it to the Second Prince as a generous gift. Unfortunately, , Alas, everyone knows that my Da Song horse is slow in sprinting. No, Yelu Dashi ran away in the end. Although this is an innate disadvantage, I still feel that I can't help the second prince. The second prince can't Blame me."
Not to mention, when this matter was mentioned, all the representatives of the Jin Kingdom were so angry that they wanted to swarm Li Qi and tear him to pieces. Who on earth suffered this embarrassing loss?
Fortunately, Wanyan Zongwang was mentally prepared. After all, this was not the first time he had dealt with Li Qi. He smiled and said: "It's just a lost dog, what's the big deal? Where can he go? Sooner or later I will kill him." The head will be taken back to pay homage to the ancestors. As for the Privy Councilor's good intentions, I should keep them in mind and I will certainly repay him generously in the future."
Day. Scared me? I was really scared. Li Qi shook his head from side to side and said to Wu Jie, Zhuang Xiang and others: "Look, look, I said that the second prince is grand and informal, how can he interact with others?"
We care about everything, and you must learn more from the Second Prince."
"As commanded."
Wu Jie and Zhuang Xiang nodded one after another, their shoulders trembling slightly. It can be seen that they have endured very hard, and they don't want you to bury them like this.
Li Qi added: "As for generous rewards, that's fine. We are allies. How can we do something for our brothers and not seek repayment? This is not the style of gentlemen of our Song Dynasty. Helping others has always been the way.
What I’m doing.”
Wanyanzong saw that he had gone round and round, all of them detouring from state affairs to improve his character. He was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and he couldn't win him. Yelu Dashi had already left. No matter how much he said, it would be useless. He should focus on the present, and said
: "Let's talk about this later. Don't declare war to seize the throne. King Khan is still waiting for your explanation."
"Explanation? Oh, yes, yes, but I have already said that we cannot be blamed for this matter."
With that said, Li Qi asked Ibrahim II: "May I ask King Khan if you invited the Yelu Dashi."
Ibrahim II nodded and said: "I mistrusted him, so I led the wolf into the house."
"That's it."
Li Qidao: "Then you asked Yelu Dashi to deal with our Song Dynasty?"
"of course not."
Ibrahim II hurriedly explained: "We have always had very close contacts with the Song Dynasty, and there is no reason to deal with you, the Song Dynasty. This is just a misunderstanding."
Li Qidao: "I won't say whether I misunderstood this or not. What I saw is that Yelu Dashi attacked our army and he was the first to attack. I wonder if the Great Khan thought we should fight back?"
Ibrahim II was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Of course, we should also thank your country for helping us drive away this wolf-hearted guy."
"No thanks, no thanks, this is what we should do."
Li Qi accepted it openly and said: "I have said so much, and I just want to explain one thing. We, the Song Dynasty, have no intention of becoming an enemy of your country. We are just passively fighting back. We are not sending troops to occupy Shule."
Le, but there is only one goal, which is to retaliate against Yelu Dashi. This is the only purpose of our Song Dynasty's sending troops this time."
Ibrahim II said: "Now that Yelu Dashi has been defeated by your country, your country should return Shule to our country."
Li Qidao: "Of course, I never said I wouldn't return Shule."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuchi Poluo suddenly said: "King Khan, please don't look down on others too much. This Shule originally belonged to our Kingdom of Khotan. If you want to return it, you must return it to us."
Ibrahim II looked at Yuchi Boluo coldly and said: "Khotan? Humph, your Khotan Kingdom has been destroyed by us long ago. This Shule belongs to our Eastern Karakhan dynasty. There is no doubt about this.
"
Yuchi Boluo said: "King Khan means that whoever occupies this place belongs to whom?"
Ibrahim II said: "Of course."
Yuchi Boluo sneered and said, "Don't forget that this place is now occupied by our Yuchi family."
Ibrahim II suddenly looked at Li Qi.
Li Qi said in a panic: "King Khan, why are you looking at me? I'm just a guest. I don't want to get involved in your affairs."
Ibrahim II said: "Then your Song Dynasty will not help."
Li Qi opened his hands and said: "Of course, our Song Dynasty has always remained neutral."
