Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Li Ke and Di Zhixun walked into Jieli's king's tent under the guard of Chen Qi, and saw the leaders of various Turkic tribes sitting in two rows in Wang's tent, and Jieli Khan sitting in the middle, looking at Li Ke.He is a middle-aged man at the lower right hand. That man has a rough but reckless appearance. There are a pair of smart eyes on his seemingly vicissitudes of life. While Li Ke was watching him, he was also watching Li Ke. From his eyes, Li Ke read his disdain for everyone present.Therefore, he guessed that this person was the Erhan Tuli of Ashina.The lower left hand is a man about [-] years old with a rough appearance. Li Ke understands that he is the most loyal confidant of Ashina's Xieli, Zuo Xianwang Ashi. That? Roald.

"The envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke, has seen the Great Khan." Li Ke held his right hand in his arms, bowed slightly, and greeted Xieli with Turkic etiquette.

"Deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Di Zhixun, has seen the Great Khan." Di Zhixun moved in the same way as Li Ke.

"Datang is really out of food, why are some skinny people here." A tribal leader said vaguely, chewing on mutton.At the same time, his words caused roars of laughter from the tribal leaders who were doing it.Some people even began to taunt Li Ke and the other three without any scruples, "The woman in Tang Dynasty is Shuiling, but this man is a bit weak. No wonder those women are all going to sneak into the tent of our Turkic man."

"It's no wonder that such a weak man would groan under the iron heels of our Turks."

"The Tang man is really vulnerable."

The Turks began to use their victorious posture to make fun of Li Ke and Di Zhixun, who were thin except for Chen Qi, and at the same time mocked the weakness of Tang's military equipment in their own way.

Jieli Khan rarely remained silent, he just wanted to see Li Ke's reaction.However, he was disappointed, Li Ke didn't show the anger he expected on his face, he kept smiling all the time, looking harmless to humans and animals.And Di Zhixun beside him had an unnatural expression, but there was always a smile on his face.Only Chen Qi clenched his fist tightly, and Li Ke could hear the sound of his knuckles because of his clenched fist.

Li Ke just looked at Xieli with a smile, making Xieli feel embarrassed that he didn't stop everyone's ridicule of Li Ke in time.

"Why are you arguing?" Jieli hid his embarrassment with his anger, "you will meet His Highness the King of Han in Tang Dynasty soon." After Jieli finished speaking, the leaders of the various ministries gave him a strange look, and then they were very reluctant. Standing up, he shouted frantically, "I have seen His Highness the King of Han."

Xieli himself also noticed his absurd behavior just now in the eyes of everyone, and felt angry for a while.This Li Ke is indeed not simple, no matter how he treats him, he never seems to be very calm, as if he punched cotton with a punch, he is weak.

"Your Highness, please sit down. Today, the leaders of our Turkic ministries welcome you to the Turkic holy land of Yinshan." Jieli's heroic posture was fully revealed, and Li Ke was also quite moved by his cadence of speech.

Li Ke did not answer Xieli for the time being, and then glanced at the various meats and kumiss visited by the leaders of various ministries, with a distressed expression in his eyes, "Khan, forgive me for taking the liberty, I cannot You eat together in the same account. This king didn’t do it on purpose, but he was worried about the people of Suzhou, and he just wanted to reach a peace negotiation with you first, and it won’t be too late for me to drink with you.” Then, just as Xieli was about to speak After speaking, Li Ke suddenly said, "It snowed heavily on the grassland, countless cattle and sheep froze to death, and the people of the tribe were suffering from cold and starvation. I think the Great Khan is also worried about the tribe. Therefore, Li Ke first thanked the Great Khan for his kindness. Why not focus on the overall situation, first make peace talks, and then catch up with the wind?" Li Ke saw that Xieli wanted to delay the time today, so he preemptively used such a high-sounding reason to make Xieli unable to refuse.

"Okay, then let's talk peace first, and after that, we will clean up the dust for His Highness the King of Han." Xie Li said.

As soon as Xieli finished speaking, the leader of He tribe suddenly stared at Li Ke to see what he had to say and how much he wanted to pay for the peace talks.However, Li Ke didn't speak for a long time, and they couldn't wait any longer.Leader Shabo suddenly shouted, "Your Highness the King of Han, I don't know how much gold and silver treasures your Tang has prepared to redeem your people."

Li Ke turned his gaze to the tribal leader who asked him, "This leader, how many Suzhou people do you have?"

"Your people are all in the hands of our Khan." Shabo said stupidly, but he didn't know that Li Ke had already provoked the relationship among the Turks, and continued, "We have more than 1 people in our Khan's hands."

"Then" Li Ke drew his voice very long, "I shouldn't have told you how long our Tang Dynasty has prepared gold and silver money? I should talk to you profusely, because people are in his hands, not In your hands."

As soon as Li Ke's words came out, Shabo's face turned red. He was annoyed at Li Ke's contempt for him. At the same time, he heard the meaning of Li Ke's words, and he also felt a little dissatisfied with Xieli.Although the expressions of the leaders of the ministries were not like those of Shabo who spoke just now, they were clearly dissatisfied with Xieli.The reason is that Jieli Khan did not tell them to rob the people when they lived in Suzhou. Not only did they not tell them about it, but they also took all the people they robbed into their own hands.

Jie Li originally wanted Li Ke to take the initiative to raise the price with him and then raise the price with him, but he didn't expect him to stir up internal discord as soon as he spoke.Therefore, as soon as Li Ke finished speaking, before everyone could speak, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. Your people are in our Turkic Ministry. You can talk to that leader." At the same time, he used his own He glanced at everyone with cold eyes, warned them not to speak, and then continued, "I don't know how much gold and silver your Highness has prepared to redeem your people?"

"How much money does the Khan want?" Li Ke asked.

"300 million stones of grain and 50 bolts of brocade." Jie Li said quite proudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the heads of the Turkic ministries became even more expressionless. If Li Ke really gave him the money at Xieli's price, wouldn't he and others lose a lot this time?Thinking of this, their dissatisfaction with Xieli deepened a lot.

"Da Khan is joking." Li Ke said flatly, "This price is fair, but I think Da Khan wants me to agree to this condition, and I need to add something."

"What is it?" Seeing that Li Ke was moved, Jieli asked hastily.300 million shi of grain and 50 pieces of brocade.For them Turkic people have to eat for a year, how could he not be excited.

"One hundred thousand good horses." Li Ke said lightly, "As long as Da Khan gives me one hundred thousand good horses, I will give you 300 million stones of grain and 50 horses of brocade."

Jie Li's face turned red, he didn't expect that Li Ke was slapping his Turkic horse's attention, he said angrily, "Don't you think Datang doesn't want its own people?"

Seeing Jieli's angry face, Li Ke said with a smile, "Could it be that the Turks don't want their people?"

"You..." Jieli was about to speak, but Li Ke rushed to say, "There are tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, and the number of Turkic people is clear to the Khan himself. If the Khan insists on going his own way and insists on making our peace talks fail to go smoothly, I think You will live up to the expectations of your people! When the king came to Turkic, the people in the tribe knew that the king brought food, and they all hoped that the Great Khan could successfully negotiate with the king, and then distribute the food from the Tang Dynasty. Give it to them. If Da Khan just let this king go without leaving food, I am afraid the tribe will be very disappointed with Da Khan." Li Ke couldn't help laughing when he said this.

"Then tell me, how much grain and brocade can you produce?" Jieli asked in a deep voice, suppressing his anger when he saw Li Ke's arrogant smile.

"Fifty thousand stones of grain, five thousand pieces of brocade." Li Ke raised his right hand and stretched five fingers.
