Chapter 777
The first year of Longshuo, March, late spring.

Chang'an City in March is already full of grass and warblers are flying, birds are singing, and the climate has become much warmer. But at the same time, the ice and snow in Mobei thousands of miles away have only melted, and the grassland is still not green and white. of a slice.

Since the 11th year of Zhenguan, Li Ke, who was the king of Chu at the time, made a northern expedition, destroyed Xue Yantuo, captured Yinan, and conquered Mobei. Li Ke re-divided the territories of various ethnic groups in Mobei.

Ten years have passed since the 11th year of Zhenguan. After ten years of cultivation, at the southeast foot of Jinshan Mountain, the old place of the Turkic Khan Court, which began to decline after the defeat of the Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan, has become lively again. There are tens of thousands of households living here, echoing the north and south of the Kobduo Grassland, which also constitutes the current East Turkistan.

The current East Turks are naturally far from the million-armed grassland overlord under Jieli's command back then, but after Xue Yantuo's defeat, they can also stand on the grassland with Xue Yantuo and Huihe on an equal footing, and they are quite prosperous. look.

However, there is a very strange phenomenon in the Turkic Khan Court, that is, the most central and most honorable position in the Turkic Khan Court is not the Khan Ashina Simo, nor the Teqin Ashinasheer, but the A Turkic woman with no official position, Princess Dingxiang Ashinayun.

Ashinayun has no official position in Turkic, but she has a detached status in Turkic. In the eyes of Turkic people, she is even higher than Khan Ashinasimo, even far higher.

In the early spring afternoon, Ashinayun led a group of entourage and guards, and just returned from the foot of Jinshan Mountain, Ashinasheer was already waiting outside Ashinayun's big tent.

"The last general, Ashinasheer, pays homage to His Highness." Ashinayun had just arrived outside the big tent, and Ashinasheer hurried forward, bowing in front of Ashinayun's horse.

Seeing this, Ashinayun got off his horse, helped Ashinasheer up, and said: "They are all from my own family, please get up quickly, brother."

Ashinasheer is the son of Chuluo Khan, the elder brother of Jieli Khan, and Ashinayun is the daughter of Jieli Khan, both from the Ashina family, and they belong to cousins, so they are naturally a family.

After Ashinasheer got up, Ashinayun asked: "I don't know why my brother came here?"

Although Ashinayun is in Jinshan, he has never been restrained, and he rarely interferes in Turkic government affairs. Ashinasheer doesn't come to see him very often, so he came here suddenly today, naturally he has something important to do.

Ashina Sheer said: "I would like to ask His Highness to borrow some cattle and sheep. The heavy snowfall this winter has caused countless deaths of cattle and sheep here in Khanting, which has affected the grazing this year. The rations of the herdsmen are not enough in winter, so I want to ask His Highness’s Khobduo Grassland to borrow some cattle and sheep, the Khobduo Grassland has fewer people, but there are more cattle and sheep, and I hope His Highness will help.”

Ashinayun heard the words and said with a smile: "What is the matter with me? I have so many cattle and sheep in the Kebduo grassland, and no one on the left and right can use them. You are a Turkic special service. Just send someone to get them." , the left and right are given to the Turkic people, so there is no need to talk about the word 'borrow'."

Ashina Sheer hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has already said that the Kebduo Grassland is the Tangmu Town that His Majesty gave His Majesty. It is His Majesty's private property and does not belong to the Khan Court. It is natural to ask His Majesty for instructions in the end."

In the 11th year of Zhenguan, Li Ke destroyed Xue Yantuo in the Northern Expedition. After the war, Li Ke moved the Turkic tribe to the old site of Jinshan, where it was named Jianya.With the strength and number of Turks at that time, the original Khan Court pasture at the foot of Jinshan Mountain was enough for them.

It's just that Li Ke knew that the climate in Mobei was extremely cold, and he was afraid that Ashina Cloud would be short of money in Mobei, so he specially allocated the Khobduo pasture that originally belonged to the Pang clan to Ashina Cloud, and used it as Ashina Cloud's land. Yun's Tang Muyi.

The pastures in Khovduo are rich in water and grass, and in name the whole of Khobduo belongs to Ashinayun. Ashinasheer wanted to borrow the cattle and sheep from Khobduo, so he had to ask Ashinayun what he meant.

Ashina said: "You don't have to be polite, you go and get it yourself."

"In this way, the last general will thank His Highness." Ashinasheer received Ashinayun's words, bowed down, and thanked him.

Ashinasheer asked Ashinayun to borrow cattle and sheep to make up for the heavy snowfall last winter, but at this moment, Ashinayun's guards rushed forward.

Ashinasheer was discussing with Ashinayun, so it was an urgent matter, but the guards knew this, so they went forward to report, and what they said was naturally more important.

"His Royal Highness, Chang'an is here as an envoy, and I'm asking to see you at His Majesty's order." The guard stepped forward and told Ashina Yun.

Li Ke often communicated with Ashinayun by letter, except when the road was blocked by heavy snow in the middle of winter, the rest never stopped every month, or sent Qingqi to send them, or sent them along with other official documents, but rarely sent them with great fanfare. The envoys are here, so this time it must be something important.

Ashina asked, "Who is the envoy?"

The guard replied truthfully: "The person here has a name, and he calls himself Sun Chong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Hearing the words, Ashinayun and Ashinasheer looked at each other, their faces were full of surprise, the eldest Sun Chong was not only a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but also an important minister of the court, he was also Li Ke's sister-in-law, and his confidant in the residence.With Datang's current status, even if envoys from the two countries are sent, there is absolutely no precedent of such a high standard. This matter must be bigger than they thought.

"Please." Ashinayun said to the guards.

"No." The guard got the order, stepped back quickly, and soon led the eldest grandson to meet Ashina Yun in the big tent.

The eldest grandson Chong came to see Ashinayun at the will of Li Ke, and Ashinayun and Li Ke had special identities, so naturally they couldn't leave others here. Soon Ashinayun ordered Ashinasheer He retreated first and met Chang Sun Chong himself.

"Minister Sun Chong, pay homage to Your Highness." Chang Sun Chong hurried into the tent, stood in the tent and paid homage to Ashinayun.

The eldest Sun Chong is the emperor's confidant, sister-in-law, and a hero who founded the country. If he usually meets with envoys from neighboring countries, even if he is a monarch, he will often carry the Minister of Rites. Take the initiative to salute.

Among them, Gain was ordered by Changsun Wuji. Although Changsun Chong had heard about Li Ke and Ashinayun when he was under Li Ke's command, he didn't know much after all. It has been repeatedly told that Li Ke regards Ashina Yun as extraordinary and should not be neglected, so he can call himself a minister.

Ashina Yun was also polite, he helped the eldest grandson himself and said: "Shangsun Shangshu, please get up quickly, the eldest grandson Shangshu must be ordered by His Majesty."

The eldest grandson stood up and said, "Exactly."

Ashina said: "Then I don't know what your Majesty has to do, but please pass on the decree to the eldest grandson."

Changsun Chong smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that if it is just to convey the decree, it is enough to have a servant come here, why bother to send ministers, this time His Majesty came here with his confidantes in order not to alienate His Highness."

Ashina asked puzzledly, "What does your majesty mean?"

Chang Sun Chong said: "There is no imperial decree, just an oral order."

Ashinayun then asked: "What oral order did His Majesty tell you?"

Chang Sun Chong leaned over and said, "Your Majesty ordered the minister to take the princess back to Chang'an, saying that he would fulfill the ten-year promise."
