Chapter 62 The Unlucky Khan

Could it be that what happened between Li Tai and his father?
After Li Chengqian left the Ganlu Palace, he went to the Zhongshu Province to ask Fang Xuanling how to arrange the failure of thinking and Ashina.

To the east on both sides of Chengtianmen, Zhongshu Province is located there.

There are a lot of officials coming in and out busy here, and when Li Chengqian walked in here, officials hurriedly saluted.

"His Royal Highness."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood up and saluted.

"Officer, Du Zhongshu doesn't need to be too polite." Li Chengqian hurriedly helped them up.

"My father asked Gu Lai to preside over the reception of Zhi Siwei and Ashina, and I came here to ask the two of them for their opinions."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of the two.

Fang Xuanling motioned for Li Chengqian to sit down and said, "His Royal Highness, the Turks are now requesting the Tang Dynasty. We can wait and see what happens."

Li Chengqian wondered, "What does the Prime Minister mean, let's ignore them first?"

Du Ruhui said: "Don't worry, the prince will send someone to entertain them well. They are guests, and they will let them eat, drink, and have fun. Let's watch it for a while."

"Gu understands, Gu will go to arrange matters."

After Li Chengqian left, Zhongshu Province resumed its busyness.

Fang Xuanling continued to check the reports handed over from various places.

Du Ruhui said: "The original proposal was made by King Wei. How could His Majesty leave this matter to the Crown Prince?"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile, "If you leave it to King Wei to be the crown prince, how will you handle yourself? These two brothers always have to restrain each other. What Your Majesty wants is a bowl of water."

Du Ruhui nodded slightly, and stopped talking to help pick out the memorials.

In Jingyang County, the originally peaceful day was broken by several Turks.

Li Yifu took a few Turks to the front of Li and said, "Now we found these sneaky Turks outside the village, and we have taken them down."

Li Zheng stared at the appearance of the five Turks being tied up with five flowers.

They faltered with cloth heads stuck in their mouths.

Li Zheng looked at them and said, "It shouldn't be the work of the Turks."

Hearing this, these Turks reacted even more intensely, struggling to speak.

Li Yifu sighed with emotion: "It seems that my heart will not die if the Turks die."

Li Zheng instructed: "Lock them up first, go to inform the government, and it is best to call Su Dingfang to him to fight the Turks."

The people in the village were arranged to throw these Turks into the cages used to keep wild dogs.

When the Turks entered the village, the whole village was ready to fight.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has fought many wars with the Turks.

After Li Jing's victory in Yinshan Mountain, the people in Guanzhong straightened their backs even more.

Everyone in the village would spit on them when they passed by.

Li Tai ate peanuts and looked at the Turks and said, "I remember that they should pay tribute in Chang'an now. How could they send people to Jingyang?"

After speaking, Li Tai looked at Li Zheng with a puzzled expression.

Li Zheng pushed his face away, "Why are you looking at me, how do I know."

At night, the three looked at the Turks in the dog cage and hesitated for a long time.

"Would you like to interrogate first?"

Li Tai pointed to Li Yifu and said, "Go and ask."

Holding a torch, Li Yifu observed these Turks, opened the dog cage and pulled out a more luxuriously dressed one.

Taking out the cloth stopper from the other party's mouth, Li Yifu asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Why did you arrest me!"

The Turk spoke in unfluent Guanzhong dialect.

"Why arrest you?" Li Tai kicked the Turk.

"Just because you are a Turk, why should you arrest you? It makes sense, isn't it!"

The Turk gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"I care who you are." Li Tai pointed to himself and said, "Do you know who I am?"

"I am Xue Yantuo Tuli Khan, Ashna Shibbi!"

"Khan?"

"We are here to pay tribute," the Turk said again.

Li Tai thought for a while and said: "No, the two khans who came to pay tribute should not rest in the inn."

He asked again, "Are you fake?"

"I'm not fake, I'm the real Xue Yantuo Tuli Khan, please believe me."

Li Tai kicked him again and said, "Does the khan need to sneak around outside the village? I think you must do it carefully, you Turks really have no good intentions."

Li Yifu said, "Let's kill him. If he really ruined the tributary incident, we can't even tell."

Li Tai searched his body, except for a few silver cakes and some jade agate, there was nothing to prove his identity.

Li Yifu asked, "Since you are a Turkic khan, what about the customs clearance letter when you came all the way?"

"In the inn, I didn't take it with me."

What Li Yifu said was right. If this guy really caught him like this by Khan, it would be hard to explain at that time.

"Now that the Turks are paying tribute, what should this guy do if he says we are disrespectful to him."

"Okay." Li Zheng nodded and handed him the saber he took from the Turks.

Seeing that the other party had already drawn the knife, he immediately shook his head and said, "No no no! Don't kill me, I'm not..."

Li Tai looked at him and said, "What? It's not a khan anymore?"

"I'm!"

"Why is it again? Are you?"

Li Tai said: "Don't talk nonsense with him, no matter if he killed a hundred people or not."

"I'm here to see the son of Jingyang county, and I am to the son of Jingyang county..."

The sound of horses' hooves came, and several people looked back and saw Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang dismounted and asked, "Li Zheng! Are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Li Zheng looked behind Su Dingfang, "Why did you come alone and bring some troops with you?"

Su Dingfang turned over and dismounted and said, "It's not my job to mobilize troops and horses."

Looking at the embarrassed Turkic man in front of him, Su Dingfang looked at Li Zheng again, "This..."

"what happened?"

"He is the Turkic Xueyantuo Tuli Khan who came to worship."

Li Zheng sucked in a breath, "Is he really a Khan?"

Su Dingfang nodded, "Indeed."

Li Tai patted his thigh, "Oh! He really is."

Looking back again, Ashina was already kneeling and crying.

"I said I'm Tuli Khan, why don't you believe me and kill me?"

Ash's nose and tears, "Didn't you say that people in the Central Plains treat each other with courtesy? How can you do this?"

Li Tai sneered and said, "If you treat each other with courtesy, you should also divide people. Why should I treat you with courtesy when you are a Turk?"

Su Dingfang: "Did you tie him up?"

Li Yifu quickly waved his hand: "It was this guy who was sneaking around outside our village first, thinking that he was probably a Turkic craftsman, so he arrested him first."

Su Dingfang loosened the bonds of several Turks and said, "Your Majesty said that you should rest in the inn, what are you going to do when you come out?"

Li Zheng also said, "Don't do this next time. Datang is so dangerous. If it were someone else, you might have been killed long ago."
