A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1046 He looks like a dog
Wu Huaiyu looked at Li Simo, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes.

At this time, he knelt down in the hall and shouted in a loud voice that he was born as a dog for the country and guarded the gate of the emperor's country.

This guy doesn't feel embarrassed either.

Although he looks like a Sogdian Hu, he actually has a very distinguished status in the Turkic Khanate. His great-grandfather was Tumen Khan, the founder of the Turkic Khanate, also called Ili Khan.

Tumen Khan's three sons all became Great Khans one after another. His younger brother Mi Dianshi Ye Hu led his army to the west and ruled the Western Regions ever since.

Simo's grandfather was Tuobo Khan, the third son of Tumen Khan. Tuobo gave birth to two sons, Anluo and Duolushe, and Duolushe was Simo's father.

Simo is the fourth generation of the Khanate. Dulan Khan, Qimin Khan, Nili Khan, Shekui Khan, and Tongyehu Khan are all of the same generation.

The three sons of Qimin Khan, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan, including the little Khan Sunisi of Shaboluo, are all nephews of Simo. As for the little Khan Tuli and Tuoli Khan, they are all nephews of Simo. She, Yugu She, Yu Sheshe and others are his great-nephews.

If it weren't for the nonsense on his face, Simo is actually fully qualified to be the Turkic Khan. I think back when Qimin Khan and Dulan Khan were fighting, Simo was on Bi Teqin's side, and Qimin was defeated and surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. The tribes in Mobei supported Simo as the Turkic Khan.
However, Qimin later made a comeback with the support of the Sui Dynasty, and Simo immediately took the initiative to remove the Khan.

That was in the 19th year of the founding of the Emperor, which is already 37 years ago.

Shibi Khan once besieged Yang Guang at Yanmen, Chuluo Khan invaded Taiyuan, and Jieli Khan also drank the Mawei water and marched to Chang'an City.
But now,

Qimin Khan, the son of Mohe Khan, won the support of the Sui Dynasty and defeated Dulan Khan, the son of Sabolo Khan. He relied on the Sui Dynasty and was respectful to the Central Plains. With the help of the Sui Dynasty's power, he reconquered the Turkic tribes.
The grassland ended the years of civil war and settled down again. After his death, the Turkic Khanate was succeeded by his three sons.

All are descendants of Ili Khan,
But at this time, they all knelt down in the emperor's palace and swore to the emperor that they would live like a dog and guard the gate of the country.

The great-nephew He Luo'u will also serve as the governor of Bei'an.

This is indeed a dog raised by the Tang Dynasty, and the entire Turks will become the guard dogs of the Tang Dynasty.

Not just moving across the Great Wall,

Not even just crossing the Yellow River,
But to cross Yinshan Mountain,
Compared with the good pastures under the Yinshan Mountains where the sky is clear, the wild awns are blown by the wind, and the grass is low and cattle and sheep can be seen, the conditions north of the Yinshan Mountains are much worse, not to mention that in the future, the wolf flag of the Turkic Khanate will fly again, which will make Xue Yantuo of Mobei How afraid people are, how much they want to get rid of them quickly.

No matter how nice the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said it, he could not hide the cruel truth.

nine people,

Li Simo, Zhi Shi Si Li, Shi Zhong, He Luo'u, Die Luo Zhi, Ni She and other Turkic nobles stepped forward to accept the emperor's canonization.

This fourth-generation man with gray beard and hair was very aware of Datang's plans. He had experienced too many ups and downs and knew that there would be no pie in the sky.

The Tang Dynasty’s edict to Xue Yantuo,
Even if Xue Yantuo wanted to beat the dog, it would be difficult to do so. It depends on the owner.

The Turks were about to regain their kingdom, but they chose Simo as the great khan, his grandnephew Ashina Zhong as his left virtuous king, and Jieli's former confidant Zhilan Sili as the right virtuous king.

The truth is that the Tang Dynasty wanted to drive them from the Hetao area with rich water and grass to the north of Yinshan Mountain and the west of Langshan Mountain. Even the tribes who had moved inland and resettled within the Great Wall in the early years, such as the Sijie tribe who had crossed the Great Wall and resettled in Yunshuo, Tens of thousands of people will all move north.

Simo is the king of Huaihua County.
Tuli's son He Luo'u succeeded his father to the title of Beiping County, Jieli's son Dieluozhi succeeded his father to the title of Guiyi County, Suni's son Nishe succeeded his father to the title of Huaide County, and Yushe Shemomo's son Ashina Shi inherited his father's title of Prince of Huai'an County.

Although Li Simo was not willing to do this profusely,

So many things have happened in thirty-seven years.

Where's the backbone?
Envoy Xue Yantuo was filled with disdain. Ili Khan was such a hero back then. He led the Turkic tribes to resist the Rouran people. Unwilling to be slaves to the Rouran people forever, he united with the Tiele people to overthrow the rule of the Rouran people.

But this is only a few generations,
They all knelt down in front of the Tang people.
Now only Xue Yantuo from Mobei can stand upright in front of the Tang people.

One Khan, two wise kings and six governors,
Among the five, there are county princes, four dukes,

The envoy of the Xueyantuo Khanate was the most secretly angry at this moment. Looking at Simo who was kneeling on the ground and being extremely respectful to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he felt that he really looked like a dog.

And Simo knew very well that his nonsense meant that he would never be able to truly gain the support of the Turkic tribesmen, even if he was of high seniority and was the great-grandson of Ili Khan.

But I can't accept it.

He is just a pawn on Tian Khan's chessboard, unable to act independently.

The court meeting is over,

"Huaiyu stays."

The emperor waved to him,

The Han and Tu ministers in the palace glanced at Huaiyu and were amazed at the Duke of Jin. Even if he left the center for several years, he would always be a popular figure in front of the emperor as long as he returned to the capital.

The emperor took Wu Huaiyu to Linhu Palace.

Looking at the man-made Hunan Sea, the emperor suddenly said, "Come have a drink with me."

Wu Huaiyu knew that the emperor seldom drank alcohol. He had many hobbies. His favorite was hunting, followed by BMWs and horses, falcons and hounds, and of course beauties.
But I just don’t like wine.

Even at a grand palace banquet, the emperor was very restrained.

There is so much pressure during this time.

Wu Huaiyu didn't try to persuade him, "Drink some fermented glutinous rice, light a stove, roast some meat and drink it with wine."

Fermented glutinous rice is a sweet wine. The glutinous rice is very sweet after being steamed and fermented. Since no water has been added, you can also eat it with the glutinous rice. The wine juice is very rich and sweet. Generally, rice wine needs to be fermented until it is almost complete, then water is added to continue fermentation, and then the wine in the lees is squeezed out to become rice wine, also known as white wine. This new rice wine is white in color. After being stored for a long time, it turns yellow and becomes For rice wine.

If the rice wine is steamed and grilled, it becomes Shaochun with soju.

Wu Huaiyu was afraid that Li Shimin would drink to drown his sorrows and get drunk, so he specifically said to drink fermented glutinous rice. This stuff is sweet and can be drunk by both adults and children. It is not intoxicating.

"Drink the yellow bar and grill the wine while grilling meat." The emperor said.

Soon someone brought a live sheep, two jars of rice wine, and various meats and vegetables, including fresh chicken, fish, beef, etc.

Barbecuing in the fire pit is also good.

Facing the South China Sea,

Light a charcoal fire, sit on a pot of old wine and slowly roast, and start grilling the meat.

There are dedicated royal chefs responsible for cutting, marinating, and skewering.
Wu Huaiyu is in charge of baking.
"This time the Turks agreed quite happily, and the progress is good." Wu Huaiyu said with a smile,

"Li Simo is a smart man," the emperor said. Before the court meeting, the emperor had actually had private talks with Li Simo and other Turkic nobles several times.

The emperor's intention has been clearly conveyed to them,

They dare not disobey.

"The look in Envoy Xue Yantuo's eyes just now revealed that they, Xue Yantuo, will not tolerate the Turks returning to their country."

Li Shimin didn't take it seriously. Datang was originally going to Xue Yantuo, but he just didn't want to go into battle naked. Now he killed two birds with one stone by driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf.

It not only cleared out all the Turkic tribes inside and outside the Great Wall to solve future problems, but also allowed them to guard the country for the Tang Dynasty, and even allowed them to consume Xue Yantuo's power for the Tang Dynasty.

"Xue Yantuo proposed marriage to Datang several times before. Datang made many requests, but Xue Yantuo was unable to complete it and the matter has been delayed."

Li Shimin tapped a few cases with his fingers, "I plan to send an envoy to Mobei, not only to announce to the Tang Dynasty the restoration of the Turks, but also to discuss the marriage and marriage with them again."

Li Shimin planned to marry Xue Yantuo, but Wu Huaiyu was not surprised.

But he believed that the emperor was not the kind of emperor who was afraid of Xue Yantuo and resorted to asking for peace.

The emperor's marriage proposal was definitely a hidden killer move.

"This time I not only agree to Yi Nan's marriage proposal, but I also want to marry two princesses."

Wu Huaiyu picked up a handful of mutton skewers and grilled them on the burning silver charcoal.
"You can guess my plan, right?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"Let me guess, I heard that Yi Nan has two sons who are more powerful, one is brave and the other is fierce. The eldest son Yimang is brave but he was born as a concubine, while the second son Bazhuo was born to his first wife.

It is said that Bazhuo was irritable, suspicious and cruel by nature, and had a bad relationship with his eldest brother Yimang.

The Yi men were unable to restrain them, so they had to confer the concubine's eldest son Yimang with the title of Dadushe and station him in the southeast, while the legitimate son Bazhuo was granted the title of Tulishe and stationed him in the northwest, keeping the two sons far apart. "

The mutton is skewered on the willow branches with some mutton fat in the middle. When it is roasted, the oil will sizzle and the aroma of the mutton will come out.

"Before, Yi Nan had always wanted to marry a Tang princess for himself, but the court had never agreed."

"Your Majesty is going to marry two princesses this time. He is definitely not marrying Yi Nan. Is he going to marry Yi Nan's two sons respectively?"

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, Wu Huaiyu was always so keen.

"That's right,"

"Your Majesty, I have a small suggestion. The court can canonize the two clan girls as princesses, and then marry them to Dadu She and Tu Lishe. However, the ceremony is still required and cannot be rude.

Our Central Plains is a country of etiquette. In recent years, hasn’t Zhenzhu Bijia Khan Yinan always said that he has 200,000 warriors under his command? He also said that Huihe, Pugu, Bailin, etc. also surrendered to him, so Xue Yantuo should also Bring out gifts that suit your status,

Xue Yantuo was nomadic in Mobei, so he gave horses, cows, camels and sheep as gifts. This time, he ordered less, 20,000 horses, 10,000 oxen and camels each, and 50,000 sheep. "

This is a gift for one person,

If the two brothers Xue Yantuo marry a Princess of the Tang Dynasty, they will have to take double portions. This time they are not required to be sent to Lingzhou. They can be sent to Feng, Yun, You, Yan, Ling, Lan, etc. on the border of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the quantity is sufficient and As long as it's alive.

When Li Shimin saw that the old wine had been heated, he lifted the pot, picked up the wine sieve, and poured the wine.

The aroma of wine overflows.

After the yellow old wine is heated, the aroma spreads.

"After Dadushe and Tulishe became my sons-in-law in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty should not be stingy in granting them official titles. I think I can ennoble the two generals of Zhuguo and Huaihua, and canonize them as Xue Yantuo Xiaohan to assist Yi Nan in conquering Xue Yantuo North and South.”

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes showed admiration.
