In the main hall of the Anxi Protectorate, there are two urns on the table in front of the screen in the middle of the steps, but Fumeng Lingcha is kneeling in front of the table on the other side.
Sitting on the left and right are Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, Li Siye and Ma Fu. Li Siye is well injured and his sitting posture is relatively casual. Ma Fu, the envoy of Yanqi Town, happens to be sitting opposite him.
Fumeng Lingzha looked at the air below with a serious expression and said: "A certain person originally wanted to strengthen his troops, hoard money and food, and prepare to attack Xiaobolu again, but he didn't expect that the sudden cavalry Shimohe Dagan came to join the team again. He sent troops to provoke
We, the Tang army, are going to rob and kill Jue Khan, so we can only temporarily stop our plans for the expedition against Xiao Bolu and free up our hands to take care of him first."
Gao Xianzhi followed Chashou and said: "That's all we can do now. Only when the north of Tianshan Mountain is pacified can we safely go south to Congling. However, the money and food in the Anxi Protectorate's treasury is not enough to support our Anxi Army's expedition. We need to wait until next year.
.”
"It doesn't matter, I can wait!" Fumeng Lingcha slapped his palm heavily on the table: "He Mo is in Suiye River, he can't escape. I will report to the court later and ask the saint to allocate money and food.
And the source of troops! The land taxes and business taxes collected by the Anxi Protectorate will be directly included in the government treasury for accounting!"
This irritable man suddenly stood up from the desk and said loudly: "The four towns of Anxi are only preparing for one thing from today on, and that is to wipe out Tuqishi and kill Mohe Dagan!"
Everyone also stood up from the table, crossed their hands and said, "I am willing to work together with Zhongcheng to kill Mohe Dagan!"
The soldiers of the Duhufu came up with wine jars and poured a bowl into the wine cups on each general's desk.
"There is one more thing," Li Siye said calmly, crossing his hands below: "That is the hereditary succession of Khan Jue. This should be brought up to the imperial court."
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Li Siye with strange expressions. Cheng Qianli pressed his elbow on the table and asked him: "Is General Li's brain burned out? Ashina Xin is Ashina Bu."
The last single seedling of the true lineage has neither heirs nor brothers, how can there be any idea of hereditary inheritance?"
Li Siye shook his head and said, "Let's put aside the silly questions for now. I can confirm that there will be an heir to the throne of Khan Jue."
Fumeng Lingcha raised his head and thought, with a hint of surprise in his expression, and suddenly asked Li Siye: "Is this child Chuulu still alive? His life is really hard."
Li Siye nodded and said: "Only those with hard lives are qualified to become khan."
Gao Xianzhi stretched out his hand to gently stroke his beard and nodded: "That kid has a strong character and has not lost his blood. He can indeed be a khan."
Cheng Qianli looked around in confusion, not because he was pretending to be confused, but because he had no idea who they were talking about.
Ma Lisheng, who was sitting at the bottom, objected: "Ashina Xin's ultimatum is in Zongzheng Temple, and the ultimatum also proves that he has no heirs. Can we say that he is the son of the Khan? Besides, Shi Xin's age
How can you have such a big heir if you are less than thirty?"
Fumeng Lingcha nodded and said: "This is a problem. As long as your majesty can agree, it is not complicated. I will save you a list to state the pros and cons."
Li Siye was quite surprised that Fu Meng did not hesitate to object to this matter, but also actively promoted it. Although as the governor of Anxi, after all considerations, it would definitely be beneficial to have a surname like Ashina to regulate the nomadic tribes north of the Tianshan Mountains.
It outweighs the disadvantages, but now that my husband is so smart and can make decisions so happily, he has obviously considered this matter.
He was quite pleased that he could have such a tacit understanding with his superiors on one matter, which was rare in ten years.
"It's just that the most important thing is his own choice. We should tell him about this in advance and let him be mentally prepared."
Li Sizhu stood up on his own initiative, crossed his hands and said, "Anyway, I've been in a lot of physical inconveniences these past two days. I can't do errands, so I can only talk. I'll tell him."
"That's fine." Fumeng Lingcha hid his hands in his sleeves, bowed his head to everyone and said, "Everyone will make preparations after you get down. It is urgent to pacify the sudden cavalry, and the expedition to Xiaobolu is also imperative."
"Here!"
…
Li Siye walked out of the hall of the Protectorate's Mansion. Gao Xianzhi walked up to him warmly, patted his shoulder and said, "I was quite worried about you having a high fever and coma in the past two days. Now that you are safe and sound, I feel more relieved."
Already."
Si Ye replied politely: "Thank you, Lord Protector Gao, for your concern."
Gao Xianzhi is now the well-known military envoy of the four towns. He is surrounded by thirty followers, all of whom are brightly dressed and have crimson cloaks. The two of them walked out of the Protectorate's Mansion. These followers also stood in two rows and followed behind them.
Wearing a knife looks quite majestic.
Li Siye felt a sense of arrogance. Although it was not overbearing, it was too high-profile.
"At the beginning of the dispute between the black and yellow surnames, when Gai Jiayun served as the governor of Qixi, Gao knew that the method of suppressing the black surname was absolutely undesirable. It was just that he was a man of low opinion at the time, and he was in Khotan, so he could only look at it and sigh. If
Time can go back, and it will be up to me to make the decision. It will be a different situation."
Li Siye was very interested in his hindsight reasoning and asked with a smile: "If you were the governor of Qixi at that time, what would you do?"
"Ahem," Gao Xianzhi pinched his nose and said: "I don't dare to think about this, but I can still deduce that we should reconcile in the middle, divide Tu Qishi's black and yellow surnames into Talas and Suiye respectively, and take advantage of their contradictions.
Come and ensure the rule of my Anxi Protectorate in Suiye River."
"But like now, after suppressing the black surname, the Huang surnamed Khan has become ambitious and disobedient. When we attack Broken Leaf and kill Mo He, will we turn around and support the black surnamed Fire-Spitting Immortal Khan? What if?
Will Khan with the surname Black also have ambitions in the future? Isn’t this a trap of death?”
Li Siye secretly thought, Gao Xianzhi is very powerful, even if it is just a hindsight derivation, it has touched the root of the problem.
He thought about it carefully and suddenly asked: "As Gao Duhu said, Tuqishi was divided into two khans, and there was an endless fight between the two. Can the Anxi Duhu Mansion profit from this? To the north of Tianshan Mountain, Suiye
Although the east and west of Sichuan are the territory of the Tuqishi tribe, they are also under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, right? The fight between the two should be considered internal strife, right? If two families fight and one family is weak, will they resent each other for generations and cause problems?
The reason for their struggle is attributed to our Anxi Protectorate? What if they attract external forces as reinforcements due to their fight, such as Dashi, will this situation be more difficult to solve? "
Gao Xianzhi was stunned for a moment. After looking up at Li Siye for three seconds, he tapped his head with his thumb and said, "Wait a minute, I'll think about it again."
Li Siye felt a little proud in his heart. He had no other skills, but he still had the ability to be a troll. However, this was not considered a troll. It was just the primary skill of the keyboard warrior - arguing.
At this time, a sudden voice sounded unconsciously from the side:
"The dispute between the black and yellow surnames is just caused by the imbalance of power. In the past, when Ashina Xian was in charge of the Western Regions, he was responsible for the rise and fall of the former khan to balance the forces of the various ethnic groups in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. If it were not for the strong rise of Sulu, today's Qixi would have been
It’s a different situation. So according to my opinion, the so-called Tuqishi should be divided again into five compartments with ten surnames, and the imperial court will send ten khans to take charge of them, so that those with high positions have no real power, and those with real power have low status."
This was not what Gao Xianzhi said. They both turned their heads and saw an ugly guy squatting under the wall, crossing his hands and saluting them: "It was just a humble little comment that made you both laugh."
Li Siye was just about to ask this person's name when he saw Gao Xianzhi frowning and rolling his sleeves and saying, "Why is it you again? Since you are a young boy in Zhongcheng's family, you should behave yourself. You have been rejected twice when you sent me greeting invitations. You can't do it yourself."
Do you know what the reason is? You always come here shamelessly, which embarrasses you and me."
