Chapter 521

According to common sense, there are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in a country. A country should have a ruler, and a mission should also be sent to other countries. This year, all the countries in Chang'an are like this.But there was such a special case as the Western Turks, who not only produced two khans, but also sent two missions.

According to the principle that all visitors are guests, Honglu Temple received them according to the etiquette. No, the envoy of Siyehu took the envoy's letter to find Li Chengqian, hoping that the prince who holds real power in Datang can help , Let the balance of war tilt towards oneself.Li Chengqian was talking with Si Yehu's envoy, and at the same time, the people sent by Mo Heduo also had the opportunity to meet the emperor.

"Foreign Minister Zhabu Duotai, pay homage to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Mohe Tuo Khan believes that the territory between our department and the Tang Dynasty should be bounded by the Zhangye River and Ganzhou. The south of Ganzhou is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the north of Ganzhou It belongs to our Western Turks, so the two countries can live in peace."

Alas, upon hearing Zhabudotai's remarks, Li Shimin pressed the case with one hand, and said calmly, "Ganzhou is the land of my Tang Dynasty, and the people of my Tang Dynasty live there. What do you mean by ceding it to you with your people? The Tang Dynasty has already weakened, and it depends on Mo Hedu's wink to survive the country, what a joke."

"The Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks are friendly states, and they are like brothers and sisters. Do you want to provoke a war between the two countries by saying that? Mo Hedu is not the Great Khan of the Western Turks. Ru country is disturbed, and the status of monarchs and ministers Undecided, the war is endless, how can we talk about the land.

If normal grazing is not possible due to the civil war, you can let him move in with his tribe, no matter how many people there are, and I will reward you with farm tools and cultivated land.When the conflict is resolved and you want to go back, please listen to your will, don't test the bottom line of the Celestial Dynasty, the might of God is not something he can test.

In addition, you tell Mo Heduo to guard the territory under your jurisdiction, stop the conquest, and don't do the brother-in-law thing again. I have done it before, and I still regret it in my heart to this day.As for the mutual trade and the garrison of troops on the border between the two countries, you still have to talk to the crown prince. Such trivial matters cannot be put before my case. Well, you can go down to receive the reward. "

Looking at Zhabudotai's back, Li Shimin couldn't help sneering in his heart. Mo Hedu was originally only a small khan, and he claimed to be a great khan, and the people of the country refused to accept it.The Nushibi tribe jointly elected Nishu Mohe as Khan.The mud refused to take his place, and welcomed Tong Yehu Khan, the son of Li Teqin, for Yibiboluo Siyehu Khan.

Si Yehu and Mo Hedu attacked each other, and the attacks continued. The situation in the West Turks was in disarray. They even came out to blackmail the land without cleaning their own house. If it wasn't for the Lantern Festival today, I would have killed him , Go crazy!The last time the envoy really went to Datang at that step, he hoped that Datang would send troops to help them quell the rebellion. A small envoy had the idea of ​​spying on the Central Plains. Would such a person die?

Thinking of this question, Li Shimin wanted to test the teachings, and then asked Di Renjie with a straight face: "Mo Hedu's envoy is too arrogant, I want to use my master of bravery to help Siyehu put down the rebellion, Xiao Huaiying, what are you doing?" look?"

Uh, when the emperor asked him about sending troops, Di Renjie was a little confused. Such a major national event, he, a child who didn't understand martial arts, could understand it.

So he bit the bullet and replied: "My teacher said that the side of the couch can't allow others to sleep soundly. Anyway, sooner or later it will be included in the territory of my Great Tang. Whether it will be sooner or later is entirely up to His Majesty's Sacred Heart."

What Di Renjie said was well-regulated, a standard match between a monarch and his ministers. From this aspect, it can be seen that Gao Ming has put a lot of thought into him. Plastic talent.

"Xiao Huaiying, I think you are a little cunning, haha." After speaking, he waved to Li Chengqian who was going up the imperial steps, telling him to hurry up a few steps.

Ji Er said: "Gao Ming, this child is not bad, very good, his character and speech are all top choices, and he will be trained to be a famous minister in the future. Your vision is getting more and more poisonous."

The famous minister is for sure, the purpose of accepting such an apprentice is to let him receive the favor of the Li family since he was a child, and tie him firmly to the chariot of Datang. Yes, of course, such an idea cannot be shared with others.

Therefore, Li Chengqian, who smiled without saying a word, stepped forward to take the little guy's jug, sent him down to play, poured the wine, and said: "My son just met Si Yehu's people, they asked the father to issue an order I have always been partial to the division, and at the same time donated some military supplies to counter the rebellion. For this reason, the Western Turks are willing to cede territory for three thousand miles to our court, and promise to submit to the Tang Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and come to the court every year."

Oh, "There is such a good thing, so you agree to send troops?" Li Shimin glanced at his son with interest.

After shaking his head, Li Chengqian bowed and replied in a low voice: "Returning to the emperor, my son not only disagrees, but also suggests that all ministries be strictly guarded to prevent the war from spreading to the border villages of our dynasty."

"What's the reason?" The smile on Li Shimin's face grew stronger. His son knew it well. He was delighted when he heard about the war. When he heard about the war, he jumped up and down. easy thing?

Not only can he eat half of the land under Mo Hedu's rule, but he can also get the benefits of three thousand miles of land and surrender from Si Yehu, why not do it.Such a cheap thing like a partial teacher can bring so many benefits in exchange. If this condition is placed on the court, the ministers in the court will almost certainly agree.

"Returning to my father, my son has two reasons. Firstly, Tubo's actions are ambiguous. No one knows whether a big battle will break out. The two-front battle consumes too much national power. It is not easy for the father to save such a family. So easily wasted.

Secondly, the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins, they don't mess up, and we don't sleep soundly, we must let them keep fighting until I free my hands and eat them in one bite.Three thousand miles away, Si Yehu was very shrewd in his calculations, and used my Tang Dynasty as a beggar.More importantly... "

While weakening the strength of the Western Turks, Datang can also do some business with both of them, whether it is salt, iron or food, it is no problem, as long as they can pay an equal price.Whether it's war horses, land, or slaves, Datang doesn't choose, who is this business with, let alone we didn't force you, this is what you are trying to catch up with!
"Great, I really didn't make a mistake with the word you. This strategy will serve multiple purposes. Our dynasty can gain huge profits without recruiting soldiers and civilians. Good, very good."
