Chapter 779 Opportunity
It was midsummer and the weather was hot. In addition, the official road to the northwest of Chang'an City was a shortcut for businessmen from the Western Regions to and from Chang'an. Therefore, the official road was extremely crowded with people doing business on both sides of the official road.

Most of these buyers and sellers are also relatively fixed stalls, with thatched sheds and three or two tables, and there is no place to sit. The customers just drink tea while standing or squatting on the side of the road with bowls in hand.

On both sides of the official road, there are mostly locust trees with a thickness of a bowl and a height of more than ten feet. The grass sheds are built next to the trees, which provide a bit of shade and comfort.

Because most of these teas are sold by merchants on the road, there is often no next sale, so there is no good tea, let alone good or bad. Serve it in a rough porcelain bowl, and drink it casually, because the quality of these teas is not good, and the tea leaves have not been picked, so you can often drink tea stems, if you are not careful, you may choke your throat.

It is such a simple environment, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke, the emperor who sat all over the world, stood on the side of the road with a bowl in his hand, drinking coarse tea carefully for fear of getting stuck in his throat, while poking his head, looking at the officials coming If it weren't for the guards standing behind him like mountains, he would be no different from ordinary rich men.

After ten years of obscurity, Li Ke still treats her like this, just like how he greeted her back then. This is the most different thing about Li Ke's treatment of Ashinayun compared to others.

Ashinayun saw Li Ke standing by the side of the road, and quickly dismounted, leading the horse to Li Ke.

"I'm back." Li Ke watched Ashinayun, who had been away for ten years, walk up to him step by step. He didn't know what to say for a while, and after a moment of pause, he opened his mouth.

"En." Ashinayun lowered his head and answered.

Li Ke then asked: "It's been a long way to get here, but everything went well."

Ashina nodded, and said to Li Ke: "I'm fine, but this is outside the city, why did you come in person?"

Li Ke put the tea bowl in Xi Junmai's hand, and said, "I couldn't wait to see you, so I came here."

Ashinayun looked at Li Ke's appearance, and said with concern: "This is already outside the city of Chang'an. You are a majestic emperor, but you still act in such a hurry. If the courtiers find out, you will be in trouble again."

Now that Turkic is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, Ashinayun came to Beijing as a Turkic female khan who will be enfeoffed. It is already grand to welcome her with Changsun Chong, the Minister of Rites. It is inevitable to talk too much if others know.

Li Ke said: "It's okay, they can talk about it if they want to, I just don't see it, if I don't take care of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain a foothold in the future, I can't wait to make a tour of the north and go to Jinshan to meet you."

To welcome Ashinayun to Chang'an is Li Ke's promise to Ashinayun ten years ago. Li Ke has waited for a long time for this day. Shi Nayun was hard to do, he wanted to lead the Imperial Army of the Beiya to make a tour of the north to frighten all ethnic groups in Mobei, and also take Ashinayun back to Chang'an.

Ashinayun looked at Li Ke's swearing expression, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing you didn't go, if you went, there would be no room for me in the palace, I'm afraid I'll have to live outside the palace in the future. "

Ashinayun's words caught my ears, and Li Ke joked: "Thinking about it this way, you are already ready to enter the palace. Ayun is really smart, and knows my intentions best, and he can guess my intentions beyond my will." Clearly."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Ashinayun didn't know what Li Ke meant. There was no shame on Ashinayun's face, and he replied jokingly: "I don't know what your majesty is talking about. The one who promised me the Khan's position."

Ashinayun joked that it was because of the Khan position that Li Ke said, but in fact she is not a person who is greedy for power. If she really wanted to take control of Turkic power, as early as the 11th year of Zhenguan, Li Ke launched the Northern Expedition. You could have tried it when you bullied Mobei, so why wait until today.

Li Ke said: "This matter is the result of an agreement between me and several prime ministers. Chang Sun Chong must have discussed it with you carefully on the way here."

Ashina said: "Eldest Sun Shangshu indeed told me that His Majesty's actions are always unexpected."

Li Ke looked at Ashina Yun with some worries, and said with relief: "You don't have to worry about this matter, the layout has already been arranged in the court, you just need to follow along."

Ashina said: "I'm not worried about these things. I'm just worried that I'm a girl. I might not be able to have this King Wei. After all, this matter is not only related to a Turk. Once this matter happened, all the grassland ministries were worried about His Majesty's next move. I'm afraid it will be like a frightened bird, and maybe it will cause commotion in Mobei."

In fact, since Li Ke's Northern Expedition to Ding Mobei, although he stationed troops in Lushan to balance the ministries, he never directly intervened in the internal affairs of the ministries, so the ministries were able to live in peace, but this time Li Ke made Ashinayun a Turkic woman Khan, even if he directly interferes or even decides on Turkic internal affairs, there must be people in the grassland who are dissatisfied with Li Ke, and there may be many of them.

These people are afraid that Li Ke will do the same and threaten their status. Once they get too anxious, they may cause military disasters and make Mobei, which has been peaceful for many years, resume war.

How could Li Ke not know about things that Ashinayun could see, and even if Li Ke didn't know, the prime minister of the court would remind Li Ke, so Li Ke was well prepared for these things.

Li Ke said: "I am the king of the Tang Dynasty, and I am also named after my stepfather Huangtian Khan. The people under my command are not limited to our Han people. In my eyes, although all the ethnic groups in Mobei are vassals, they are also the people of my Tang Dynasty. I treat them as one. I want to use Mobei as the frontier state, and all the grasslands as the people of the state, so that the war can be eliminated and the world will be peaceful forever."

Ashinayun asked: "I've always known your majesty's ambition, but it's just that it might be too hasty to do so. I'm afraid it will give those who want to rebel a chance."

Li Ke subdued Mobei with his military power, making the various ethnic groups in Mobei live in peace for ten years, but this does not mean that Mobei is really peaceful. Satisfied with the boundaries drawn by Li Ke, he is ready to move.

In the past, Li Ke didn't interfere in Mobei's internal affairs, and they didn't dare to act rashly, but now that Li Ke has directly established a sweat in Mobei, he naturally gave those people an excuse and colluded with each other.

Ashina Yun's words were indeed reasonable, but Li Ke said: "This is their opportunity, why not my opportunity."

Ash Nayun looked at Li Kezhi's appearance that he was determined to win, and instantly understood Li Ke's meaning, and said to Li Ke: "Your Majesty wants to use this to force out those young people, and completely integrate Mobei."

Li Ke nodded and said: "Yes, I have already set the rules in Mobei. Now all the ethnic groups in Mobei are sheep, and I am the shepherd. If I want to make the whole sheep obedient, I will naturally pick out those who are not good. Kill the obedient ones, or keep those disobedient sheep in the flock, although there will be no problem for a while, sooner or later it will be a disaster."

As Li Ke said, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said: "It has been ten years since I returned to the south. I am afraid that many grassland tribes have forgotten me and the blood shed back then. I don't mind helping if necessary." They recall memories again, so that they can remember who is in charge on the grassland."
