People are killed by knives, and I are fish. This is a perfect way to describe the current Eastern Turks. After being devastated by the Tang Dynasty, although the Turks have received good pastures, it is no longer possible to restore their former glory.
It's possible. Although the Tang Dynasty treated prisoners relatively well, the death of so many men in the war has greatly weakened the strength of the Eastern Turks. In addition, the Imperial Household Office of the Tang Dynasty has quietly purchased leather from the Turks in recent years.
It has changed the Turkic people's attitude towards herding. Now many Turkic tribes, in order to exchange for more money to buy food, have turned to the road of 'breeding'. The horses, cattle and sheep they raise are no longer what they used to be.
, many horses are already so fat that they can no longer run.
The policies of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be beneficial to the Turks, but in fact they were destroying the foundation of the Turks. Although it could not be seen in the short term, in the long run, it was weakening the combat effectiveness of the Turks all the time. Ashina Simo saw this
A little, but he had no choice. He couldn't tell the tribesmen that we should stop doing business with the Tang Dynasty and stop buying food from the Tang Dynasty. Isn't this equivalent to asking the Turks to commit suicide?
The Turkic nobles wanted to assassinate Li Shimin. From their point of view, they were not all wrong. At least their judgment was good. If Li Shimin died, the Eastern Turks would have a chance to regain their glory.
Everything he said now was just an afterthought. Ashina Simo lowered his head and put his pride on the ground, letting Li Mu trample on him, just asking him to say a few nice words in front of Li Shimin.
Li Mu is not the kind of person who enjoys torturing people. He looked at Ashina Simo and felt unbearable. Li Mu helped Ashina Simo up, smiled and said: "The prince and your majesty have an old relationship."
, Why bother to be separated from me by this layer? When I saw His Majesty these days, I heard His Majesty talking about all the things he had with the County King when he was young. It can be seen that Your Majesty has always had affection for the County King in his heart. If it hadn’t been for the County King’s concession
Your Majesty will not be so sad about your Majesty's disappointment. The prince will meet your Majesty in person and explain the truth. Those who do not know what is good or bad should be dealt with quickly."
"Everything is at your Majesty's command." Ashina Simo has already made a decision at this time. It seems that the Turkic nobles involved have no way out. Anyway, they should be able to get the result the day they do it.
, rather than protecting them, it is better to protect the people. The blisters on your feet are all caused by yourself, so you can't blame others.
With Li Mu's reassurance, Ashina Simo said goodbye to Li Mu, got on his horse and headed straight to Yangzhou. Li Mu was naturally slower than him in the carriage, so he was not in a hurry, wandering around, and did not return to Yangzhou until the next day.
He deliberately avoided and did not want to participate in the meeting between Li Shimin and Ashina Simo. He had already done everything he should do. If he had to get involved in everything, he would be stretching his hands too far. It happened to be the Chinese New Year, and he also
I want to spend time with my family and have a good rest for a few days.
However, some people didn't want him to rest. Li Mu returned to the courtyard where he lived. Before he could take a sip of tea, he heard the report from the concierge, saying that someone claiming to be his disciple had come to pay New Year's greetings to his teacher.
Li Mu thought to himself, which disciple could this be? The eldest disciple, Sun Chong, is now the president of Datang Bank and is very busy every day. The second disciple, Li Tai, was looking for silver mines in Huining and said that he fell into Yuan Tiangang's.
In my hand, I learned that nothing happened a few days ago and was rushing back according to the order, but the distance should not be that fast. Yixiu did not come back from the Japanese country. Gemu asked for leave a few days ago and wanted to go back to Chang'an to see Li Yourong. Who else
Woolen cloth?
Li Mu couldn't remember it no matter how hard he thought about it, but there was a signal in his head that he should have an apprentice. He raised his hand, and the concierge understood and went to lead the person in.
"Student has met his mentor." Li Mu heard the voice and looked up. It turned out to be Qin Huaidao. After taking the imperial examination, Li Mu went to the Western Regions. In the past year, he had not met Qin Huaidao several times. He was really close.
Forgot about this apprentice.
After all, he was his brother's brother-in-law. He could be regarded as a master and disciple, but also as an in-law, not an outsider. Li Mu was very happy to see him. He warmly greeted his servants to tea, and invited Qin Huaidao to sit down.
"The affairs of the imperial court are complicated, and I have never been able to get away from them. I finally got through it in the end of the year, and I finally had some time to pay New Year's greetings to my mentor." Although Qin Huaidao was a forgotten disciple, he was also very unconvinced by Li Mu in the past, but after more than a year
His experience has made him grow up a lot. He no longer treats Li Mu with the same disrespect as before. Li Mu didn't care about the past at all. He was very happy that Qin Huaidao could come to visit. Chang'an went to Yangzhou
The journey is not short. In this era, there are no planes or trains. It is a long journey and not everyone can do it.
Li Mu asked about Qin Qiong's condition. Qin Huaidao replied that he had taken Master Huiri's medicine and his condition was much better. However, this long-standing illness will not be cured in a short time. Master Huiri has said it himself. With his medical skills,
It can only ensure that the condition does not worsen, but treatment cannot cure it. He also estimated that even the miracle doctor Sun Simiao may not be able to cure it. Some things are God's will and beyond human control.
"Huaidao, which yamen are you working in now? Are you quite free?"
"In May, the Ministry of Personnel was selected and transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was appointed as a doctor and was in charge of the Commercial and Taxation Department." Qin Huaidao answered honestly. Li Mu nodded, already understanding in his heart the reason why Changsun Wuji made such an arrangement. Qin Huaidao
After all, he is his disciple. If he is put in charge of the newly established Commercial and Taxation Department, he can ask himself if he has any problems. If it were someone else, he is afraid that he would not give him face.
It was also very painstaking.
"It's considered a promotion," Li Mu smiled and said, "How is it? Are you doing well in the Commercial and Taxation Department? If you have any questions, you can ask me. I happen to be free these days. In two days
You may not have time.”
"It's quite smooth, but mentor, this time the apprentice came here because he has something to discuss with his mentor."
"Oh?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? Just say it, you and I, master and disciple, don't have to beat around the bush."
"Teacher, I don't want to serve in the Sixth Department anymore." Qin Huaidao said without surprising, "The student wants to lead a sect like his senior brother."
"What kind of statement is this?" Li Mu smiled silently and said: "What kind of family does he have? This is not the same!"
"It's what Senior Brother said." Qin Huaidao explained honestly: "Once Senior Brother invited me to dinner, and when he was drunk, he talked about his speculations.
"The affairs of the imperial court are complicated, and I have never been able to get away from them. I finally managed to survive until the end of the year, and I finally had some free time to pay New Year's greetings to my mentor." Although Qin Huaidao is a forgotten disciple, he was also very unconvinced by Li Mu in the past, but after more than a year
His experience has made him grow up a lot. He no longer treats Li Mu with the same disrespect as before. Li Mu didn't care about the past at all. He was very happy that Qin Huaidao could come to visit. Chang'an went to Yangzhou

I have some spare time, so I came to pay New Year's greetings to my mentor." Although Qin Huaidao is a forgotten disciple and was very dissatisfied with Li Mu in the past, more than a year of experience has made him grow up a lot. He is not as unkind to Li Mu as before.
With respect, Li Mu has never cared about the past. He is very happy that Qin Huaidao can come to visit. The distance from Chang'an to Yangzhou is not short. There are no planes and trains in this era. It is a bumpy journey and not everyone can do it.
