Man Tanghong

Chapter 998 Can't stay? !

When Ashina Simo and the others heard this, their faces softened a little. After hearing this, Xieli realized that his mind had been seen through and became a little hysterical.

"You Han people like to say these high-sounding words, and you like to lie to us with these words!"

Li Yuanji was too lazy to talk to Jieli any more, and immediately said coldly: "Whether we Chinese people like to say high-sounding words, and whether we will use these words to deceive people, you will know later, and it's not your turn to speak out here. "

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji didn't give Xieli another chance to speak, and directly ordered Zhang Baoxiang: "Take him down, starve him for two days before talking!"

Hearing this, Jieli widened his eyes in astonishment.

Zhang Baoxiang also had an unbelievable expression on his face, "Your Highness, this is against my Tang way of hospitality!"

Li Yuanji snorted softly and said, "I have the final say on my Tang's way of hospitality!"

Hearing this, Zhang Baoxiang didn't say any more, and after agreeing happily, he picked up Jieli's collar, dragged Jieli and walked out.

As for Hungry Jieli for two days, he violated Datang's way of hospitality and was criticized by others, which has nothing to do with him.

Since Li Yuanji said that he has the final say on how to treat guests in Datang, it is he who has the final say.

As for other people's opinions, Li Yuanji didn't care, so why should he care?
After Zhang Baoxiang took Jieli away, Li Yuanji let Ashina Simo and others come forward to have an audience.

"Ashina Simo has met His Royal Highness King Yong..."

"The servants are stubborn..."

"Chen Aba Shisi..."

"..."

"See Your Highness!"

The difference in status also determines their different ways of seeing the ceremony.

Ashina Simo has now officially surrendered to Datang, and he is also the county king of Datang, so he does not need to be called a minister in private.

If it was a grand court meeting, or a formal occasion like the Tai Chi Hall, he would still have to be a minister.

Pugu Duohuo, the great chieftain of the Pugu tribe, and Abashisi, the great chieftain of the Abrad tribe, also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, but they have not yet been knighted, and the possibility of being crowned county king is very small, so whether they On any occasion, he can be regarded as a minister.

Li Yuanji said with a smile after each of them gave the salute: "You don't need to be too polite, especially Simo, this is not the first time you and I have met, so you don't have to be so polite in front of me."

Ashina Simo is a real person, he believed it when he heard this, and immediately nodded cheerfully: "Okay!"

The complexion of the great chief of the Pugu tribe, Pugu Duhuo, became strange at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The chieftain of the Ashi tribe, Ashisi, should have the same temperament as Ashina Simo. After hearing Ashina Simo's answer, not only did he not show a weird expression, but he looked eager to try.

He probably also hoped that Li Yuanji would tell him 'don't be so polite in front of me'.

But his status has already been decided, and he may never have this chance in his life.

Li Shimin, Li Jing, Zhao Chengyong, Wang Xuance, Chu Suiliang and others were all amused by Ashina Simo's answer, and all of them looked at Ashina Simo with a smile on their lips.

Ashina Simo saw them smiling, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

Li Yuanji was also amused by Ashina Simo, but he didn't blame Ashina Simo for his ignorance, nor did he dislike Ashina Simo's straight-hearted temperament.

To be honest, after staying with smart people for a long time, he likes such straight-hearted people more and more.

This kind of person has everything written on his face, and he doesn't like to hide it. He is the best person to see through and the best to control.

In comparison, smart people like Li Jing, Zhao Chengyong, Wang Xuance, Chu Suiliang, and even Zhang Baoxiang, who have already left, are so good-looking and not so easy to control.

But as a superior person, you have to use this kind of person, and you have to try your best to control this kind of person.

In this case, it takes more mental effort.

Therefore, not only did Li Yuanji not feel disgusted when he finally met a straight-hearted person, he also quite liked it.

"Come on, come sit down and talk!"

Li Yuanji smiled and patted the right side beside him.

As for why it is not on the left side, because Li Shimin is sitting on the left side.

Although Li Shimin is no longer an official and nobility, he is a commoner, but his brother's status has not been lost.

If it wasn't for a public banquet this time, and Li Shimin didn't intend to compete for seats, Li Yuanji might have to give up the main seat for others to sit.

Ashina Simo was not polite when he heard the greeting, and sat on the right side of Li Yuanji with a grin.

Looking at his heartless appearance, no one in the hall thinks he is ignorant, everyone can see that he is a heartless person.

If you care about this kind of person, it's not that they are stupid, but you are stupid.

"You sit too!"

Li Yuanji invited Pu Guduohuo and Adi Shisi to sit down as well.

Pugu Dahuo thanked him very politely. At first, Ah Tuoshisi wanted to sit down directly, but after seeing Pu Guduohuo being polite, he hurriedly followed suit.

After everyone was seated, Li Yuanji announced the formal opening of the banquet.

During the dinner, Li Yuanji talked about friendship with Ashina Simo, and discussed merits with Pu Guduohuo and Ah Dashshi, which made them all happy.

When the banquet was over, Ashina Simo promised to take all the clansmen to help Datang to conquer the Western Turks, and Ashisisi also agreed, but Pu Guduohuo was a little hesitant, and finally only agreed to send some clansmen to help Datang went to conquer the Western Turks.

"Pu Gu Duo Huo can't stay here."

After Ashina Simo and others were helped out of the hall, Li Shimin, who was clearly drunk, suddenly opened his eyes and said something quietly.

Not only him, Li Jing, Zhang Baoxiang, Zhao Chengyong, Wang Xuance, Chu Suiliang and others who were already drunk all opened their eyes and sat upright.

The reason why everyone was drunk was to pretend to be drunk for Ashina Simo and the others to see, otherwise, Ashina Simo and the others might not have had a good time.

Now that Ashina Simo and the others are gone, there is no need to pretend anymore.

The reason why Li Shimin said this was because the meeting with Ashina Simo and others today was not just a simple meeting, but also a meeting to decide who to keep and who to kill.

Li Yuanji lingered on Li Shimin for a while, then looked at Li Jing and the others and said, "You think so too?"

Li Jing, Zhang Baoxiang, Zhao Chengyong, Chu Suiliang and others nodded in unison, they all felt that Pu Gu Duo Huo could not be kept, and the Tang Dynasty did not need such a smart general.

But Wang Xuance did not express his opinion.

Li Yuanji looked at Wang Xuance and said, "Do you have a different opinion?"

Wang Xuance didn't hide it either, nodded and said: "I think it doesn't matter whether he stays or not, the important thing is, after killing him, whether his people will work for my Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xuance and said, "You mean, his people are very loyal to him. After we kill him, we may not be able to take his people for our own use?"

Wang Xuance shook his head, looked at Li Yuanji and said, "I don't know if his people are loyal to him or not, but I know that this is not the right time to kill him."

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "That's right. Now that the Pugu tribe has just returned, people's hearts are fluctuating. If he is killed at this time, his clansmen will probably be even more uneasy, and there will inevitably be repetitions."

At this time, Li Shimin, Li Jing and others all wanted to speak.

However, Li Yuanji took the first step and smiled at Wang Xuance: "However, when we said we can't keep him, we didn't mean to kill him now, but to find an opportunity to kill him in the future.

For example, let him die on the battlefield of conquering Western Turks, or on the battlefield of conquering other places.

As long as we let him die at the hands of the enemy, and we have done well enough, his people will not suspect us.

They will elect a new warchief, who will continue to serve us. "

After hearing this explanation, Li Shimin, Li Jing and others immediately stopped their thoughts of speaking.

Hearing this, Wang Xuance nodded thoughtfully and said, "If that's the case, then I have no objection."

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Then it's decided, who will implement it specifically, do you have any suitable candidates?"

Li Shimin and Li Jing kept silent, Zhang Baoxiang said without hesitation: "Of course it's Li Shuai!"

Zhao Chengyong followed closely and said, "Of course it's Shuai Su!"

Chu Suiliang looked left and right and said, "You can also give Duke Yi a chance!"

They are not simply recommending candidates to kill Pugu Duhuo, they are also recommending the commander-in-chief who will conquer the Western Turks.

Zhang Baoxiang followed Li Jing, and took a big advantage from Li Jing. Now in front of Li Jing, he naturally wanted to recommend Li Jing.

Zhao Chengyong is a member of Prince Yong's Mansion, so he naturally wants to recommend the confidants of Prince Yong's Mansion.

As for Chu Suiliang, his father used to be the Eighteenth Bachelor of the Qin Palace, where is Li Shimin sitting? In view of his previous affection, he also had to give Qin Qiong and others a nomination.

However, not long after he opened his mouth, Li Shimin rejected his nomination, "Although Shubao is talented, his ability to lead an army is still not as good. Shubao is not suitable!"

Even Qin Qiong is not suitable, so Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others are even more inappropriate.

Li Shimin's words sounded very rude, but in fact he was very polite.

If he was not being polite, there would be no need for such detours at all. He could just say that Qin Qiong was fine in leading troops to fight, but not in commanding the three armies.

Qin Qiong was written very mysterious in the romances of later generations, but he is still a general, not a handsome talent.

If you let him lead the troops to charge, he will definitely be able to catch them, but if you let him take command and lead the three armies, then he may not be so close.

If Datang lacks a commander, then he can go up and make a living.

But in this period, Datang did not lack commanders at all.

Now there are two sitting in the temple.

Let alone other places.

Adding up, I'm afraid it has exceeded the number of palms.

So there is no need for him to go up to make a living, not to mention that his body is not good now, he is fine as a staff officer, but if he is a commander, there is a high chance that he will die of exhaustion or illness on the road.
