Chapter 581
"Pingxi? It seems that this time the saint is really determined to completely solve the problem of the Western Turks!"

Concubine Xiao put away the imperial edict, took the eldest princess's hand, and the husband and wife came to the tea room beside them, each with a futon, and sat cross-legged across from each other.

Concubine Xiao personally cooked the tea, while looking at the small copper pot on the small red clay stove, he said in a low voice: "I guess the saint will send troops this time, but I still didn't expect it to be so soon?!"

According to the disposition of that group of officials, no matter what the matter is, they will bicker before making a decision, let alone such a military matter as sending troops to counter the rebellion. Originally, when making a decision, one needs to be cautious. The civil servants who eat, can't fight vigorously? !

What is the demeanor of a great country in the celestial dynasty? I couldn't help but swear!
He is not the kind of scoundrel scion who 'points at a horse as a tiger', but a real aristocratic son like Xie An and Xie Xuan who can control the enemy with a sword when mounted, and who can play the piano and cook tea when dismounted.

Although Concubine Xiao has never held any real vacancies, except for being a "grain supervisor" during the Ping Liaodong, he has not had any dazzling achievements in the past twenty years.But his ability, even the first emperor was full of praise, otherwise he would not have married his most beloved eldest daughter to him.

Moreover, Consort Xiao does not have a specific official position, but he is the captain of the consort, who can go to court, discuss politics, and even read some confidential documents.In addition, his political sense is extremely keen, so he can always make some predictable decisions.

The eldest princess and Concubine Xiao have been husband and wife for 30 years, so they know their husband's ability. Hearing what he said, she couldn't help laughing and said: "Wang Xuance and other civil servants can be so bloody and courageous. Dalang (referring to the emperor) is the majestic master of the world." , how can we tolerate a little He Lu making trouble?!"

The implication is that she agrees with her husband's conjecture.Of course, another reason why the eldest princess is so determined is that she knows her brother very well.

When the emperor first became a king, there was a wise and mighty first emperor in front of him, and a group of respected veterans of the three dynasties below, and a group of civil and military officials in the middle. Of course, the emperor wanted to make some achievements for the whole world to see—he Li Chengqian Even if he can't surpass the late emperor, he won't be much worse than the late emperor.

Especially He Lu, who bullied people too much. Less than a year after the death of the first emperor, he dared to plunder the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty.

Even the Eldest Princess saw this, and couldn't help being annoyed, let alone His Majesty the Emperor involved.

Recently, there was another legendary story about Wang Xuance, which made the emperor's blood boil even more. Therefore, in front of the arguing ministers, the emperor was extremely tough for the first time, and made a quick decision-send troops to suppress the rebellion!
Those officials who were arguing red-faced were not bookworms, they saw that the emperor was really angry, they all stopped talking, and silently agreed with the emperor's resolution with great interest.

However, there are still some officials who have other thoughts, such as the captain-in-law Chai Lingwu. Although he is a general, he still uses the rhetoric of a civil servant to advise the emperor:

'Well, the emperor, our Tang Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven and a state of etiquette. He Lu'er is really hateful, but we can't be like him. '

'Well, what is that sentence called, oh, yes, it is no problem for us to send troops before sending troops, but before sending troops, we should send an envoy to see He Lu, knowing the righteousness, and fighting is not a good thing after all, it wastes people's money. Well, if He Lu Xiaoer can recognize his mistakes and is willing to repent, we will forgive him generously.If He Lu doesn't repent, it won't be too late to officially start the war! '

After hearing Chai Lingwu's words, the emperor was a little unhappy at first, but later he felt reasonable.Yes, He Lu is a despicable villain, but he, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is a magnanimous gentleman, how can he have the same knowledge as him?
Therefore, the emperor agreed to Chai Lingwu's suggestion, and before the army left, he planned to choose an envoy to go to Qianquan.

When the emperor was thinking about the candidate, Chai Lingwu mentioned another sentence, saying that He Lu's younger sister Ashinayan and several young men and young ladies were still in Beijing. It was a small threat, so Chai Lingwu suggested that when the envoys set off, they could bring these small Turkic nobles with them.

Chai Lingwu was worried that the emperor would think too much, and added, "Accompanying Ashinayan and others can also express the meaning of His Majesty and the court... In addition, even if He Lu refused to admit his mistake, it seems that the envoy escorted Ashina all the way. For the sake of Yan and others, they will not mess around!" At least it can guarantee the safety of the envoys.

Although since ancient times it has been emphasized that the two countries should not be beheaded when they fight, but He Lu is a treacherous person. If he knows the etiquette and abides by the rules, he will not make trouble!
When the emperor thought about it, he felt that it made sense. Originally, he had no intention of doing anything against Ashina Yan. If he followed Chai Lingwu's suggestion, it would show his magnanimity and heart even more.

However, before the emperor could select a candidate for the mission to the Western Turks, news came from the Court of Conciliarium that Ashinayan and others, as well as their entourage, had all disappeared.According to reports from the people sent to search for them, it seems that the group of small Turkic nobles were quietly rescued!

This time, the emperor was angry again—Ashi Nayan and his party had at least 40 to [-] people, but so many people disappeared overnight, what does this mean?It shows that there are Western Turkic spies in the capital, and there are a lot of them, and they have been lurking in the capital for more than a year or two!

Otherwise, they would not be able to get people out of Beijing silently without leaving the slightest trace.

Bang!
The emperor punched the small table, He Lu had been disobedient for a long time!

There are still so many people in the court who have illusions and think they can persuade him to surrender?Of course, the emperor subconsciously selectively forgot that he also had similar thoughts for a moment.At this moment, he has only one thought, that is to dispatch troops quickly, and arrest He Lu to the capital as soon as possible for questioning!
This time the emperor was not only angry, but directly angry. After discussing with several old princes, he quickly decided on the candidates for Pingxi's chief general and deputy chief, and set a date for the expedition.

It's the twelfth lunar month, and it's not a good day to go out, but the emperor is very angry, and Longyou is in urgent need of reinforcements, so even if the Chinese New Year is only a month away, the Tang Dynasty will send troops.There is no way, the people of the Tang Dynasty want to celebrate the Spring Festival, but the Turkic people don't pay attention to the New Year or not.From He Lu's point of view, it's the New Year's Eve if he steals a fortune from the Tang people!

Moreover, Cui Youbo sent another letter, in which he explained his views to the emperor in detail: He Lu seems to be in love with 'guerrilla warfare', and does not have direct contact with the regular garrisons in the eighteen prefectures of Longyou, but comes over to harass them from time to time one time.As soon as the garrison received the news and was ready to rush over, the people from the He Lu tribe had already withdrawn, but the city was almost destroyed by them, and the guards guarding the city suffered heavy casualties!

It would be unrealistic for the garrison to guard only one city, after all, no one could accurately predict where He Lu's next surprise attack would be.The border line on the west side of Datang is very long, and it is impossible to defend against it!
Repeated this several times, the garrison was fooled around, but more than a dozen cities in Yanbian were terribly harmed. Cui Youbo and other governors said that if the imperial court did not send a large army to support and He Lu came to harass again, they could only let the state capital The servants went up to the city gate to meet the enemy.

Therefore, the emperor waved his sleeves and quickly said: Send troops immediately, and prepare food, grass, and ordnance immediately!
As for sending envoys or something, no one mentioned it again.

The whole court seems to have 'forgot' Ashina Yan and others who disappeared, but one person did not forget her.

"Xiaoqing, did you hear me right?

Sitting on the ridge of Taoyuan, Xiao Nan listened to Xiaoqing's report with a sinking face, his hands that were soiled with dirt were tightly clenched, and several veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

Xiaoqing felt the anger emanating from its master. Although it knew that the master was not angry with it, it still couldn't help but shrink back and replied obediently: "Yes, master, I heard it right, the one with the nostrils facing the sky That's what the woman said."

In order to show that she heard correctly, Xiaoqing imitated the woman's tone and said it again: "... next month is the Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty. Every family will come out to enjoy the lanterns and have fun, and that woman will take her with her." When the time comes, you can find a few smart idlers to rob her children... Even if she doesn't go out, during the Chinese New Year, the children must go out to play... Also, except for that woman Your child, you bring that bitch Shi Min’s child here again... Huh, the two of them make me look bad, so I’ll vent my anger on their precious heart and soul. That’s the same sentence, the man broke his limbs and threw him to be a beggar , women are sold to brothels—”

"Shut up, bitch, you dare to plot against my child, I want your life!"

Xiao Nan could no longer suppress the anger in his chest, stood up with a bang, and rushed out of Taoyuan with a murderous look on his face.

Xiaoqing was taken aback, flapping her wings and fled to the side.

It has to be said that its ventriloquism is getting better and better, and the imitation of Ashinayan's voice is exactly the same as the original voice.

If Xiao Nan had only been skeptical in the past, then after listening to Xiaoqing's report, she was 100% sure, and her hatred for Ashinayan reached its peak.

Everyone has Ni Lin, Xiao Nan's Ni Lin is her children, for the sake of the children, she can endure all grievances, now someone is plotting against her children so viciously, how can she not be angry?
Moreover, this was not the first time for Ashina Yan, this time it was even more extreme, she did not forget to arrange for the spies who stayed in Beijing to murder Xiao Nan's child even when she fled.Fortunately Xiao Nan ordered Xiao Qing to monitor Bi Lishu, otherwise she would not have known about it.

Although Xiao Nan didn't intend to let Ashina Yan go, but now, she wished she could kill that femme fatale woman immediately!

After rushing out of Taoyuan, Xiao Nan rushed all the way into the study room, took out a lance from a hidden compartment, loaded the bullet, walked to the west window, looked at the distant sky, Xiao Nan secretly said: "Ashi Nayan , you thought everything would be fine if you escaped from the capital, but I tell you, there is no way!
Let's be honest, you escaped for dozens of miles, even if you escaped for a thousand or ten thousand miles, I will find you and kill you with my own hands!
