Man Tanghong

Chapter 921 Resting Fennel
Li Yuanji said in surprise: "So, father planned him more than ten years ago? The peace talks in Wude's fourth year was when the net was closed?"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said: "Don't say it so harshly, what is planning and what is collecting nets? My father was about to raise an army at that time. In order to prevent the Turkic people from suddenly rioting and affecting his plan, in order to stabilize the Turkic people, we had to Bow down to the Turks and be small.

But you don't know what kind of temperament your father is?

Can he succumb to the aliens for the rest of his life?
It is also reasonable for him to make some preparations for breaking away from the Turks in advance. "

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin suspiciously and said: "But as far as I know, after my father raised the army, the Turkic people still came and entered Jinyang together with Gao Junya, Wang Wei and others.

If it weren't for Li Gaoqian's great power to defeat and capture Gao Junya and Wang Wei alive, destroying their plan to besiege Jinyang, his father might have failed at that time. "

This is completely wrong.

If Li Yuan really appeased the Turkic people and discussed with the Turkic people, then the Turkic people would not be able to backtrack on what they said.

After all, Li Yuan has already bowed down to the Turkic, and the Turkic can see the Central Plains through Li Yuan, there is no need to conspire with Gao Junya and Wang Wei to besiege Jinyang and eradicate Li Yuan.

This is totally against Turkic interests.

No matter how stupid the Turkic Khan Chu Luo was at that time, it was impossible not to support Li Yuan, his own man, to support Gao Junya and Wang Wei, and to help Yang Guang fight against him.

Hearing this, Li Shimin said angrily, "Did you forget that a major event happened in Turkic in the same year?"

Li Yuanji was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

In the same year when Li Yuan raised his army, Chuluo Khan, the Turkic ruler, died and was succeeded by Jieli.

The Turks suddenly changed hands, and it is only natural that there will be changes.

After all, one person in power has one ruling philosophy.

What the former person in power thought was good may not be approved by the latter person in power.

The decrees implemented by the former ruler may not be continued by the latter ruler.

Chu Luo hopes to support Li Yuan to have a glimpse of the Central Plains, but Jie Li may not agree.

He may feel that Turkic is strong enough to have a glimpse of the Central Plains with his own strength, and he doesn't need to support anyone.

So after he assumed the position, it was reasonable to completely negate Chu Luo's plan.

However, even if he disapproved of Chu Luo's plan, there was absolutely no need to conspire with Gao Junya and Wang Wei to help Yang Guang seek rebellion, right?

Was he kicked in the head by a donkey? !

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin strangely.

Li Shimin seemed to have guessed something, rolled his eyes and said: "Xie Li had just ascended the throne, he was still very immature, and he has not fully controlled the authority that Chu Luo entrusted to him.

In order to get Yicheng's support, he agreed to help Yicheng deal with us, but the condition is that Yicheng must support any decision he makes in the capacity of Ke He Dun. "

Li Yuanji suddenly understood.

It turns out that Xieli and Yicheng had a py transaction.

No wonder Xieli made such a stupid decision.

In order to get the recognition and support of Yicheng, the former, former, and current Ke He Dun, it is nothing to send tens of thousands of people out to fight.

This seems absurd to the Central Plains people, but it may not be a problem in the eyes of the Turkic people.

After all, the Central Plains were in turmoil at that time, and the Turkic people went south to fight the grass valley from time to time, and there were tens of thousands of troops dispatched each time.

Sending tens of thousands of people south to clean up Li Yuan, it is not an important matter to send tens of thousands of people south to fight Caogu.

It is estimated that the parties concerned will not care whether this decision is correct or not, whether to implement it or not, but will be eager to try it.

It's a pity that they were unlucky. They met Li Gaoqian who was in the period of liver explosion at that time, and they were beaten violently.

Since then, Jieli and Li Yuan have become enemies.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Jieli committed crimes for several years, and there may not be no reason for wanting to regain his position.

"According to what you say, father bowed down in front of the Turkic people, is it for nothing?"

Li Yuanji asked with a suppressed smile.

In fact, he didn't want to laugh, but he just couldn't help it.

Li Yuan planned everything well, and arranged everything in place, but he didn't expect that all the troubles would disappear all of a sudden, and Xieli took over.

This is God's will, it is God who wants to plot against him.

He can only admit that he is unlucky.

Li Shimin rolled his eyes at Li Yuanji and said, "Who told you that my father was a lowly young man? Didn't my father win you a Turkic Teller? In the current situation, a Turkic Teller took the initiative to vote for me. You should be clear about the benefits of Datang."

When mentioning Ashina Simo, Li Yuanji nodded sincerely.

With the golden horse bone of Ashina Simo, it will be much easier for Datang to recruit and surrender the Turkic people.

All Turkic Teres and Turkic chieftains, as long as they see that Ashina Simo has defected to Datang, and Datang treats Ashina Simo well, they will not be so fierce in the subsequent battle with Datang , and will not go all out with Datang to the end, and will vote without hesitation when it is time to vote.

This is definitely a good thing for Datang.

This means that the Tang Dynasty will not encounter too many fierce battles in the subsequent conquest of the Turks, and it will be easier to conquer the Turks.

However, this is somewhat contrary to his original intention of training troops with Turks.

The Turkic people are not desperate to resist, so what training does he use?
It seems that the matter of military training has to be re-planned.

"Come, Your Highness King Yong, try my handicraft."

When Li Yuanji and Li Shimin were talking, Ashina Simo had already roasted the mutton. The yellowed mutton had a strong meaty aroma and a little bit of cumin, which whetted the appetite.

"You actually have An Xiqin?"

Li Yuanji looked at Ashina Simo in surprise.

No wonder Ashina Simo is so confident in his barbecue skills. It turns out that he has this kind of barbecue artifact.

With this kind of barbecue artifact, Ashina Simo's barbecue skills can't be said to dominate the grassland, but there is absolutely no problem in calling it a masterpiece on the grassland.

Cumin is actually a Uighur language, which was translated by people through transliteration.

Therefore, when cumin was first introduced to China, it was called benzoin, or fennel.

Yes, you heard it right, the earliest people called cumin fennel.

The reason for this error is its name.

Because in the earliest times, people called fennel benzoin and cumin benzoin.

Because of a word difference, many people are confused about which is fennel and which is cumin.

Some people even treat the two species as one species.

It was not until the name cumin was called that people began to distinguish these two species and two spices.

"His Royal Highness King Yong also knows about An Xiqin?"

Ashina Simo seemed to have found a bosom friend for a moment, staring excitedly and asking.

Li Yuanji took the leg of lamb he had cut off from Ashina Simo, nodded with a smile and said, "I know something... this thing is very good for barbecue..."

Ashina Simo said happily: "It seems His Royal Highness Yong really knows. When I was in Mobei, people in the tribe didn't like it, saying that it covered the original taste of mutton. Does His Royal Highness Yong think so?"

Li Yuanji shook his head with a smile and said, "I think it's more delicious if you add it to mutton."

Ashina Simo became happier and happier, and couldn't help taking two steps closer: "It seems that His Royal Highness Yong likes it as much as I do. I planted a lot in Mobei, and I will send you some later."

Li Yuanji was not polite either, he nodded and smiled and said, "Then I will be disrespectful."

Ashina Simo happily said: "From now on, I will give you some every year. If you want to grow it, I can also give you some slaves who can grow it."

Slave, which seems to be a title only in BC, is quite natural when it comes from Ashina Simo.

Although Datang has surpassed several Turkic civilizations, there are also slaves.

It's just that Datang has broken away from the level of using his own people as slaves, and has begun to use prisoners of war as slaves.

Although it is said that the trading of human beings is not prohibited among the natives of the Tang Dynasty, it is for other household registrations below the good ones.

For example, common people.

And Datang will be demoted to common people only if he made a mistake, or if his ancestors made a mistake and were implicated.

Therefore, it is impossible for common people to want fair treatment.

But no matter how poorly the common people of the Tang Dynasty were, they were much better than the slaves.

Slaves have absolutely no human rights, while common people barely have human rights.

After the slaves were killed, they would be killed, and the common people would be fined if they were killed.

As for the good citizens of good nationality, who would dare to try it? !

If you dare to resell good people, the local garrison can drive to your door, believe it or not? !
"That's better!"

Although Li Yuanji was not used to talking about slaves with others, he still responded with a smile to Ashina Simo's warm greeting.

Ashina Simo laughed even more when he heard this, he opened the wine pouch sent by Zhao Chengyong at some point, and he began to laugh and eat meat and drink wine .

Li Yuanji handed Ashina Simo, who had fallen into the carnival mode, to Li Shimin as a companion, and returned to Liang Luoren's side again.

"Why, have you figured it out?"

Li Yuanji sat down beside Liang Luoren, handed him the lamb leg and asked.

Liang Luoren took the leg of lamb absent-mindedly, took a tasteless bite before recovering, "This...what does it taste like?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "An Xiqin!"

Liang Luoren subconsciously said: "The original taste of the mutton is covered, it's not tasty..."

Li Yuanji smiled lightly, and didn't think there was anything strange about it.

Many new things are like this when they first spread among the people, and spices are the best among them.

The eating habits and tastes of hundreds or even thousands of years are not so easy to change.

Even in later generations where everything is developed and people flow very frequently, there are still many people who are not used to the local food, the local eating habits and tastes after they go to other places.

In the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, this kind of thing was even more obvious.

There are different winds in three miles, and different customs in ten miles.

The ethos and customs of a village and a mile are not necessarily the same, and eating habits naturally have certain differences.

Hundreds of thousands of miles apart, the gap is even bigger.

However, the turnover of personnel in Datang is small, and the eating habits and tastes of most people may not change for a lifetime. It is reasonable to not adapt to new things and accept new things very slowly.

Turkic people or Tang people have been eating salt-baked barbecue for many years. Cumin has not been introduced for a long time, and it has spread in a small area. It is reasonable that many people don't like it.
