Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 470 One Red Face and One White Face

At this moment, facing the angry officials of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Simo was also a little uneasy.He is very clear that there is not much difference in strength between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be said that they are evenly matched.If he died in Chang'an, Xieli might not avenge him.

What's more, the current situation in the grassland is turbulent, and it is even more impossible for Xieli to start a war with the Tang Dynasty for him.

With this in mind, his attitude became more respectful.

"My lord sent me here just to clear up the misunderstanding between the two countries, and I also ask Prince Tang to believe in my lord's sincerity."

"Sincerity?" Li Zhiyun sneered, "Jieli, he killed my second brother, there is no sincerity between us."

"It was an accident, and my lord didn't want it." Ashina Simo wanted to cry but had no tears.

This Prince Tang is too aggressive, why bother!

"Enough." Li Zhiyun waved his hand, and said directly: "You go back and tell Jieli that it is not impossible to reconcile the two countries, but the premise is to hand over the Han family children he abducted, otherwise, there is no need to talk nonsense!"

Ashina Simo was also a little angry, he held back his anger and said, "Prince Tang, are you really going to start a war?"

Li Zhiyun sneered and said, "You are wrong. You are not alone in instigating wars. You Turks have always been invading our Tang people."

No chat today!

Ashina Simo was a little heartbroken, why didn't the new Prince Tang follow the routine!

Everyone knows the grievances between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, but before they have the strength to kill each other, shouldn't the two sides fool each other?
He originally thought that this time he was going to Tang Dynasty as an envoy, he would talk nonsense with Tang Chen as before, and then everyone went home happily.

Why is the new Prince Tang's attack power so strong?

You are powerful, you just send troops directly, what are you yelling at me.

Ashina Simo was very wronged, and he couldn't make decisions in Turkic.

"I will take this word to the Khan."

"You'd better bring it to him." Li Zhiyun made up the knife.

Ashina Simo choked, and was taken down by the guards in embarrassment.

The entire meeting was very short, nothing was discussed, and it was more like a routine and boring.

Li Zhiyun is too lazy to chat with the Turkic people now. Since ancient times, the basis of the conversation between the two countries has always been based on national power.

Without strength, the diplomatic rhetoric is extravagant, and the Turkic cattle will not let Datang go because of this.

Datang and Turkic, only one can live!
After Ashina Simo withdrew, Yang Gongren advised: "Your Highness, now is not the time to start a conflict with the Turks."

"I know." Li Zhiyun sighed, and said: "In the past, the father endured humiliation, worked for the people of the world, and tolerated the Turkic wolves in every possible way. They didn't want to be grateful to our dynasty, but they intensified. The abrupt peace agreement is in the eyes of the Turkic people. Here, it's just a piece of waste paper.

As long as they want, they can go south at any time.But today the world is settled down, and Gu swears that this will never be allowed to happen.

In the future, if the Turks want to fight, they will be alone to the end! "

Today, he just wanted to show his attitude to the officials.Those who hold the idea of ​​'peace is the most important' need not mention it from now on.

too young!

Many courtiers felt that the young Crown Prince was too confident.

Tang Jian said: "Your Highness, the Turks have hundreds of thousands of armor and hundreds of thousands of riders. Everyone is a soldier. Once a battle starts, life will be ruined. If our dynasty is not sure of victory, we must not start the war lightly."

"His Royal Highness, please calm down." Pei Ju said: "The old minister feels that within two or three years, our dynasty should not clash with the Turks, and should exercise restraint. Now that the warehouse is not full and the armor is not ready, it is not appropriate to act rashly."

Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "Gu knows."

He was actually just making a statement, not trying to fight the Turks right away.He is not a reckless man, he will fight the Turkic people to the death when his head gets hot.Now that he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he not only needs to be responsible to himself, but also to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

He said to Pei Ju: "Pei Gong, Ashina Simo, I will let you take care of me alone."

Hearing this, Pei Ju understood that it was for one to sing the red face and the other to sing the bad face.

"My minister obeys."

After the court was over, Pei Ju came to the dormitory and found Ashina Simo.

"The envoy has come all the way, it's been hard work." Pei Ju said kindly to him after sitting down.

Ashina Simo asked: "May I ask Your Excellency, the crown prince of your country, if you really want to fight with me Turks?"

"Haha, the envoy is worrying too much." Pei Ju said, "I am young towards the crown prince, and because of something about King Qin, I acted a little impulsively. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Ashina Simo understood.Although he didn't know Li Zhiyun well, he knew that this was a young prince.

Young people are inevitably impulsive.

It seems that the prince is the only one who is impulsive, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty are still sober.

Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved.He was afraid that the Tang prince would go crazy and want to start a war against the Turks immediately.

Although he is not afraid of Turks, the current situation in the grassland is turbulent, and it is the best choice to survive this period of time stably.

"Since this is the case, why does the crown prince of your country want to insult you in the hall?"

Pei Ju said: "No, the emissary thought too much, I just spoke straight to the prince. The two countries have always been friendly, so how can they change it so easily?"

Afterwards, it was Pei Ju who spoke in normal nonsense.

And this is what Ashina Simo wanted to hear. He had a mediocre status in the Turks, but he never thought of exaggerating the prestige of the Great Turks in front of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers.

Two days later, Li Zhiyun received Ashina Simo again in the Tai Chi Hall.

This time, there was no tense conversation between the two sides, and the atmosphere was more harmonious.

Li Zhiyun said: "When the envoy returns to Turkic, he might as well tell Jieli that if he is willing to send the captured grandson Wuji and others back to the Central Plains, it is not impossible to talk about the reconciliation between the two countries."

Ashina Simo chuckled inwardly, this Crown Prince Tang really was bluffing earlier, it turned out that his purpose was to get those few people.

"I will definitely bring the words to Turkic Khan next time."

Promise, Ashina Simo will not do it, because he knows his position in Turkic.

In other words, he knew he was just a sounding board.

And Li Zhiyun didn't expect Ashina Simo to succeed, he just mentioned something in passing.If the Turks really send people back, that would be a great thing.If the Turkic people don't want it, that's okay, but Tang Jun will pick it up in person in the future.

The premise is that Changsun Wuji and others must be alive.

Later, Ashina Simo proposed that the two sides open up mutual markets on the border, and hoped that the Tang Dynasty could exchange supplies with the Turks.

Li Zhiyun naturally readily agreed to the matter of exchanging supplies.

Turks want salt, cloth, silk, and tea.The Tang Dynasty also needed Turkic war horses, cattle and sheep and other animals.

Under the premise of prohibiting the arms trade, the two sides made a small exchange on some acceptable materials.

The current Datang is no longer the one that just founded the country and needs to keep sending things to the Turks.

In the battle of Bingzhou in the past, Jieli returned without success, and his strength was evenly matched between the sudden and abrupt.Therefore, the Turks no longer have the position to obtain things from Datang unconditionally.

If it wasn't that he was not ready yet, Li Zhiyun really wanted to send troops north immediately to wipe out the damned Turks.

Three days later, Ashina Simo left Chang'an and returned to Turkic.

For some reason, he always felt that if he left Chang'an this time and came back next time, it might be a different scene.

Are you worrying too much?

He thought for a while, shook his head, and led the mission away.
