Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 702 This Is a Game
The Taiji Palace is not only the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, but also the core of the power of the Tang Dynasty. Shang Shusheng's work place is in the front hall of the Taiji Palace.

For any ordinary person, it is indeed an endless honor to be qualified to step on the stone slab of Tai Chi Palace.

After Liu Mu brought Du Zichun and the others into the Tai Chi Hall, the eunuchs naturally took them to their places, even if it was in the corner of the Tai Chi Hall, and behind the pillars, eight people sat around a small mat, this It is also a very high honor. Together with the other five people at that table, these people feel that they can honor their ancestors.

Just as Liu Mu was about to take his seat, the imperial guards in the first palace quickly walked to Liu Mu's side: "Prince Liu, some guests from the grassland came outside the gate of the palace, and they said they must see you."

"Aren't they qualified to enter the palace?" Liu Mu asked back.

"Yes, they don't have Xintie."

"Let's go." Liu Mu signaled the imperial guard to lead the way.

When Liu Mu came out of the palace, the banquet in the palace had already come to the auspicious time. Li Yuan and Li Shimin walked to the top seat together. Li Yuan swept the table and asked Peng Hai sideways, "Where is Mu?"

"I'll look for this old slave immediately." Peng Hai hurriedly left to look for it.

Li Shimin reminded from the side: "Father, the auspicious time has come."

"Well, I'll teach him a lesson later." Li Yuan was very upset, because since you, Liu Mu, are in Chang'an for such a grand event, it's your fault to be late.But I still said the congratulatory speech on New Year's Eve first, and then announced the opening of the banquet.

Li Shimin's mentality is very good, Li Yuan never asks a question about state affairs, but Li Yuan will point him out when he encounters a problem that he doesn't understand, so Li Shimin will always invite Li Yuan to the front desk at any time, as long as it has nothing to do with state affairs.

In front of the gate of the palace in the words, when Liu Mu arrived, there were already [-] imperial guards rushing here.

There are dozens of people who are clearly dressed on the grassland standing in front of the palace gate. The leader is Liu Mu, who is known to Huihe Khan Tu Midu.

"What's the matter?" Liu Mu went up to meet him.

Tu Midu walked forward a few steps, gave a salute, and said in a hurry before Liu Mu returned the salute: "I came here to ask for your help, Jieli seemed to be crazy, and he was attacking small tribes everywhere in autumn. And Yinan also took the opportunity to expand. This is very bad, the peace on the grassland has been broken, and the life of the herdsmen is no longer stable."

"What do you think of me?"

Tumidu pointed at the people beside him: "There are more than [-] elite cavalry, and the tribal leaders who hope for the peace of the grassland are here. I think you must have a way to restore peace to the grassland, or..."

Tu Midu didn't continue, Liu Mu interjected, "Or let Xieli die."

"En." Tu Midu nodded: "Once Jieli dies, as long as there is no chaos in the grassland, Yi Nan will not dare to expand his power at will. I think Yi Nan has ambitions, and this kind of ambition is a disaster for the grassland. "

After speaking, Tumidu handed a parchment to Liu Mu.

This sheepskin scroll must be a national treasure in later generations. There are not many Turkic characters handed down, especially before the real Turkic characters were formed, the old characters used by the Uighurs originated from the Aramaic alphabet.

Tu Midu explained to Liu Mu the contents of the parchment, which was a kind of denunciation.

"Confused." Liu Mu stuffed the parchment to Tumidu: "Whether to fight Xieli or not is a major military issue. Right now, the Tang Dynasty has fought Xieli three times, and Xieli can be said to be seriously injured. And your opinion To eliminate Xieli, even countless people in the Great Tang Dynasty thought so, but no one said that, the Great Tang Dynasty is just like what you want, a peaceful world."

Tu Midu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Liu Mu said again: "Xue Yantuo Barbarian Khan has just surrendered. He has ambitions, but you come to trouble him and ask Tang to denounce him. Do you think the important officials in the court will support it? Even denouncing will take time. During this process, it is estimated that you and him will have at least two battles to the death, which is not a small loss."

"This... You're right." Tu Midu nodded repeatedly, and quickly took out another parchment scroll, but this one didn't have a single word in the text, with hundreds of handprints on it.

"I prepared a copy with many leaders. I am afraid that this one is not suitable, so I can make another copy here. It is better to write it as you say."

Liu Mu was in a dilemma, how should I write this properly.

At this time, Peng Hai arrived.

"Liu Consort, the Supreme Emperor is angry because you were not at the banquet when it was held."

"The Supreme Emperor." Liu Mu's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of a real event in the history of later generations, and immediately said to Peng Hai: "Wait for me a little longer, I have something important to do here."

Liu Mu pulled Tu Midu aside: "I have an idea, you guys write a new content here immediately, without mentioning the conflict between you and Yi Nan. Just say that thanks to the Tang Dynasty, there is warmth on the grassland. In winter, etc., remember to add a sentence at the end, saying that you have united so many leaders, and you will regard the Great Tang Emperor as the Heavenly Khan."

"God Khan?" Tu Midu didn't understand what this meant.

"It is the highest khan of all the khans. Then I will find you a chance to go to the temple. At that time, say something nice and don't mention any contradictions. After the New Year's feast is over, I will arrange for you to meet alone. When the time comes It doesn’t matter what you want to say about Jie Li Ke Hate, because the supreme khan of all khans has an obligation to protect every tribe.”

"learn."

Tumidu pulled together the leaders of those people who owned [-] horsemen, and after a quick discussion, a new parchment began to be written.

Liu Mu asked again: "Have you brought any presents? If not, I will quickly prepare some for you."

"Yes, we brought a thousand ferret skins, a thousand sable skins, a hundred rare blue mink skins, and fifty golden mink skins."

"Okay, get the presents ready. I'll ask for a reward for you, and I'll definitely reward you."

Liu Mu tossed and tossed outside the palace gate, and did not return to the palace until half an hour after the banquet started.

Li Yuan's face was dark, obviously ready to curse.

Liu Mu quickly came to Li Yuan: "Father, my son is not late, but has important matters to deal with outside the palace."

"Is it important?" Li Yuan expressed doubts, but gave Liu Mu a chance to explain.

Liu Mu said: "The Huihe Khan brought dozens of chieftains from various tribes on the grassland to Chang'an. They were supposed to be received by the Ministry of Rites, but they didn't dare to act hastily, so they wanted to hear the opinions of my ministers."

"What's the matter?" Li Yuanxin asked if something really happened.

What Li Shimin is most concerned about is whether the chaos on the grassland has become too big to be controlled.

In fact, Li Shimin's guess was correct.

But Liu Mu said: "They came to present a gift and write a letter to thank Datang for his help to them."
