Man Tanghong

Chapter 751

After a long time, Li Shimin suddenly said, "You said that Jieli would exchange the same weight of gold for Yicheng?"

Li Yuanji nodded, Yugu did indeed say so, and he also brought gold, which weighed a hundred catties, which was basically the same as Yicheng's weight.

Li Shimin pondered and said: "I remember that although there is a rule of redemption on the grassland, cattle and sheep have always been used. Why are they replaced with gold this time?"

Li Yuanji shook his head slightly.

I don't know about this, who knows why Xieli suddenly changed the way to redeem it.

He and Li Gang also discussed this issue, but they didn't discuss why.

Li Shimin raised his head slightly and said, "You said that Xieli's sudden change of method is the key to the problem?"

Li Yuanji was taken aback for a moment, and began to think carefully.

According to the tradition on the grassland, once a wife, daughter, or son is plundered, it is usually bought with cattle and sheep. To regain their wives, daughters, and sons, almost no one used gold to redeem them.

Using gold to redeem captives, or to redeem themselves captured by enemy countries, seems to be a method that Westerners like to use.

Could it be that Xieli has connected with Westerners?
Li Yuanji narrowed his eyes slightly.

No, no, the Eastern Turks ruled by Xieli are located in the east of the grassland, separated from the west by a Western Turk. It is impossible to say that Xieli has an affair with Westerners.

It is possible to say that Tong Yehu Khan of the Western Turks had an affair with Westerners.

Without contact with Westerners, Xieli can learn how Westerners redeem captives and redeem themselves.

That can only explain one thing, that is, Xieli hooked up with Tong Yehu Khan of the Western Turks.

The specifics of how they hooked up, and what they plan to do when they hook up together, can only be known after investigation.

However, Yicheng, an old woman, has no value to Xie Li, and even less to Tong Yehu.

Then after Jieli hooked up with Tongyehu Khan, why did he have to redeem Yicheng?
This is very puzzling.

"It seems that you have guessed something..."

Seeing that Li Yuanji had been silent for a long time after listening to his words, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and immediately said meaningfully.

Li Yuanji didn't hide anything either, nodded his head and said, "I have indeed guessed something, but there are still some questions that I don't understand, so I have to check it out."

Li Shimin questioned: "Then what did you guess?"

Li Yuanji grinned suddenly and said, "I won't tell you!"

Li Shimin stared angrily.

I have never seen such a shameless person who employs people first and does not use others behind.

Li Yuanji had already got the answer he wanted, and he didn't bother to stay with Li Shimin any longer. He immediately played with Li Chengqian's head lovingly for a while, and then left Sanqing Palace in a cool manner.

After leaving the Sanqing Hall, passing through the Liangyi Gate, and returning to the Wude Hall, Li Yuanji immediately asked Zhao Chengyong to go to the Duting Station to spread the message, and the people in the Duting Station rushed to Youzhou with eight hundred miles. , Call Tang Jian back to Beijing.

Although he has figured out part of the deep meaning of Jie's use of gold to redeem Yicheng, there are still deeper things that he has not figured out, so he must send someone to go to Turkic to understand what happened in Turkic, Xie Li Why spend such a big price in exchange for Yicheng.

After sending out Zhao Chengyong, Li Yuanji ordered someone to summon Wang Xuance and Chai Lingwu, who are now serving in Yong Wangwei.

Since Wang Xuance and Chai Lingwu participated in the Hebei Dao pacification and the war in Suizhou and other places, they were all stuffed into Yong Wangwei by Luo Shixin.

In Luo Shixin's words, these little guys are somewhat lawless because of their deep backgrounds, so they must be put in Yong Wangwei to sharpen their temper, otherwise they will definitely cause disaster if they are released.

Li Yuanji also felt that Wang Xuance, Chai Lingwu and others had done something lawless in Hebei Road, so he agreed to Luo Shixin's request.

However, Tang Jian is going to go on a mission to Turk now, and it is still a very dangerous mission, so Tang Jian has to be assigned some powerful assistants.

Although the people from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites have experience as ambassadors, most of them have been to Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, Linyi, and even Tubo who have met the Tang Dynasty. The minister is a vassal of Climbing Ping, and he has never been to Turkic, nor has he experienced too many turmoil in diplomatic missions.

So if they are asked to be Tang Jian's assistants, it is very likely that they will not be able to help Tang Jian, and Tang Jian will have to be distracted from taking care of them.

Wang Xuance, Chai Lingwu and other little guys are different. They are courageous, knowledgeable and aggressive, and they have not been smoothed by all kinds of comfortable and rich lives.

So let them accompany Tang Jian on missions, and accompany Tang Jian to dance on the tip of the Turkic sword. They will not be afraid, and they will even be eager to try.

In addition, they are all blank sheets of paper, untainted by everything in the power field. It is also very easy for Tang Jian to restrain them and shape them.

However, they were all relatives of the emperor, and behind them stood a lot of people that Li Yuanji could mess with, but didn't want to mess with.

So to let them take risks, you have to discuss with them, and they have to be willing to go.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the parents behind them to ask.

Under Liu Jun's summons, Wang Xuance, Chai Lingwu and other little fellows soon arrived at Wude Hall.

Several people were full of vigor, and they could feel the aura of grass growing and warblers flying on them from a long distance away.

Li Yuanji liked this kind of breath very much, and envied them that they could have this kind of breath.

Only when he felt this kind of aura, would Li Yuanji realize that he was only in his early twenties, and that he was not an old man who dealt with a bunch of old people and conspirators all day long.

Therefore, facing these young people, Li Yuanji's attitude was very kind.

A few young people were not polite, especially the emperor's nephew, who entered the Wude Hall, and after calling uncle carelessly, he groped around the table in the hall to find something to eat.

After finding a plate of persimmon crisps, he picked up the plate and generously invited others to share it.

"Why, don't you have enough to eat in Wucao camp?"

Li Yuanji stared at the young men with a kind smile and asked.

Chai Lingwu found a cushion carelessly, sat down without any image, and complained while eating persimmon crisps: "Don't mention it, are those meals in Wucao camp for people to eat?

That's for pigs. "

Yang Sizhi added cautiously, "If you give pigs to eat, you may not necessarily eat them..."

Chai Lingwu nodded his head in agreement and said, "I have to fight with a group of people for this. If I can get it, I can eat it. If I can't get it, I can only eat shit. If it weren't for Commander Zhao, seeing that we are young, we are young, and we are from time to time. The food saved to help us, we probably starved to death."

Wang Xuance said abruptly at this time: "Commander Zhao is because we are young. Commander Zhao is worried that you, the emperor's nephew, will starve to death. He has no way to explain to His Highness."

Chai Lingwu gnawed on the persimmon cake, and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, as long as someone gives me food and doesn't want to curry favor with me, or use my status to help him get promoted and make a fortune, I think he is doing it for my own good. "

Wang Xuance was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

People are willing to give them food, but don't ask them to do things, and don't go through the back door through them, so there is no need to worry about what they have in mind.

Anyway, they didn't harm them.

Li Yuanji watched the little fellows finish off a plate of peach cakes, and then ordered Liu Jun to bring them some other pastries, and after bringing them a pot of water, he slowly said: " So, your life in Wucao Camp was not satisfactory?"

Chai Lingwu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not true, although we ate worse than pigs in Wucao camp, we learned a lot.

Those guys in the Wucao camp still have some real skills. "

Wang Xuance, Yang Yuzhi, and Yang Sizhi followed suit and nodded in unison.

Li Yuanji shook his head dumbfounded.

This is not nonsense.

Although the Yong Wangwei in Wucao Camp was established for a short time, the men and horses inside were all elites drawn from various armies, including the elites of the Twelve Guards, the elites of Yanyunqi, the elites of the Xuanjia Army, and the elites of the former army. The elites of the major commanding military mansions of King Qi's Mansion and King Qin's Mansion.

It can be said that it is a guard formed by a considerable part of the Tang Dynasty's elite. Of course, it is powerful and capable.

If it wasn't for the fact that Yongwangwei was established by Li Yuan, and that he had set up the station at the East Gate of Wucao, and incorporated all the establishment into the palace guard system, he would have wanted to transfer this army out and train them so that they would become the most powerful soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. A mighty army.

"It's good if you have real skills, and it's better if you can learn something. I thought you were not happy in Wucao camp, and I was going to transfer you to a new place.

Since you feel that Wucao Camp is okay, then stay in Wucao Camp. "

Li Yuanji said with emotion.

This is a trick.

With the temperament of a few little guys, they can't help it, and they will definitely take the bait.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Chai Lingwu's ears perked up first, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he shouted: "Uncle, our stay in Wucao camp is not good at all, really, not good at all."

Yang Sizhi followed and said, "Yes, what we have learned is all learned secretly while others are not paying attention, and we are caught and beaten from time to time."

Yang Yuzhi also echoed, "Although they all have skills, but they are unwilling to hand them over to us, and learn skills from them, it's better to follow Master Luo."

Chai Lingwu nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, why not let us continue to follow Master Luo."

Wang Xuance didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, he looked at Li Yuanji suspiciously.
