In the royal court on the grassland, Jie Li was drinking and chatting with his subordinates, but Li Chengqian was hung in the middle of the royal tent, treating it as a beautiful scenery for everyone to enjoy.
"Hahaha, what's the saying in the Central Plains? Things are changing. Previously, Ben Khan's son was taken as a prisoner by them. What about now? His son Li Tang is tied up in Ben Khan's king's tent?" Jieli laughed wildly.
The general under his command flattered him: "The Great Khan is wise. Not to mention, the way the Prince of the Tang Dynasty hangs and struggles in the middle is much more interesting than watching those dancing girls."
"King Zuo Xian is wrong. This is the dance of His Highness the Crown Prince. It should be called... a binding dance."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.
Li Chengqian, who was tied up, looked at the Turks present one by one with hatred and malice in his eyes, as if he wanted to imprint their appearance in his mind.
Just as Xiao Rui expected, at this moment, the prince Chengqian was afraid that he would never like the Turkic style again. His heart was filled with only hatred, boundless hatred.
Military advisor Zhao Deyan couldn't bear it and stepped forward to admonish him: "Great Khan, it's inappropriate. After all, he is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty. It is inconsistent with etiquette for us to treat humiliation like this. If it spreads, it will make people laugh. Even if he is detained in As a hostage, the grassland should also be treated as a distinguished guest and treated with courtesy."
Before Jie Li could say anything, someone stood up.
The Turkic eldest prince rushed over angrily and knocked Zhao Deyan to the ground with a punch, "Get out! We can do whatever we want with the prisoners we captured. Do you want a dog-like thing to talk too much here? Don't beat or scold the prisoners. , and you still have to serve as a guest? Sure enough, this damn Han has no good intentions."
"Father, I suspect that this guy is a spy and has been in the enemy's country for a long time."
Jie Li was originally in the mood, but was interrupted by Zhao Deyan. Although he was very unhappy, it was absolutely impossible to say that Zhao Deyan was collaborating with the enemy.
He waved his hand and said: "That's enough. The loyalty of the military advisor cannot be questioned. How can you be rude? Apologize to the military advisor!"
"Father, how can you favor an outsider? Have you forgotten how I was abused when the child was kidnapped by them? They don't treat me as a human being at all..." The eldest prince complained aggrievedly.
Everyone was saddened to hear this, but Jie Li and Zhao Deyan were both shrewd people, how could they listen so easily? When the eldest prince came back, his skin was intact and he even gained weight. Did he look like he had suffered? At this time, it is obvious that he is confusing right and wrong.
"That's enough! This is a banquet. If you don't want to participate, just leave."
After drinking away his useless son, Jie Li went over to help Zhao Deyan in person. After thinking for a while, he pointed at Li Chengqian and said, "Come here, untie the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Let him come over to serve Ben Khan and pour the wine."
"Don't sweat, in case this prisoner is not good for you..." everyone advised.
Jie Li said proudly: "Just him? A baby who hasn't grown up? If Ben Khan was really assassinated by a baby of his, he wouldn't be alive today. He's not good enough, and I'm not bad enough. Don't be afraid to let him go."
Li Chengqian was soon released and asked, "Thief, do you want the lonely king to pour you wine? Don't even think about it! When the lonely king returns to the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely ask his father to send troops to kill all the Turks in your steppe, not a single one of them." Keep!"
hiss……
What a cruel boy!
Zhao Deyan really wanted to cover his eyes, he was thinking, this prince of the Tang Dynasty is so ignorant, this is someone else's territory, you don't know what it means: Do you have to bow your head when you are under a low eaves? With such bold words, you don’t want to go back, right?
Sure enough, in the next second, the generals in the king's tent drew out their swords one after another, "You're so outrageous, I'll kill you first and see what you can do?"
Jieli's face was livid, but he couldn't really let his men take action. He waved his hands to hold everyone down, and smiled sinisterly at Li Chengqian: "Boy, when I was under Chang'an City and by the Weishui River, I made a treaty of friendship with your father. The two of us. As a witness, humans, heaven and earth become brothers to show friendship. According to seniority, you should call Ben Khan uncle."
"Come, pour your uncle a drink. For your father's sake, we will not treat you badly in this royal court."
Although Li Chengqian was young, he was not an ignorant child. Hearing what Jie Li said, he became even more hateful.
Damn, what uncle? Did you mention the Weishui Alliance? This is clearly a deliberate humiliation. It is a sign of the weak Tang Dynasty, and you were forced to sign the alliance under the city. It is the shame of my father's life. The entire city of Chang'an was looted of gold, silver, and silk before you were satisfied and left.
Now let me pour the wine? Will I, the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty, pour you wine? It was said that I was pouring wine for my uncle, but once I foolishly believed it, it would be spread out the next day. Outsiders would not believe that it was the younger generation who was pouring wine for the elders. They would definitely say that it was the prince of the Tang Dynasty who was serving him spinelessly in order to survive. Turkic Khan.
"Bah! If you have the guts, kill the lonely king! I want the lonely king to pour you wine, just dream!"
Seeing that an eleven or twelve-year-old boy had such backbone, Jieli's face became even more ugly. It's not that he is angry, but he is envious of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with his incompetent son, the Tang Dynasty is really an outstanding place.
"Haha, okay, you have the guts! There's nothing you can do about it, just go ahead and hang yourself. If you don't recognize the relationship between me and your father, then Ben Khan will have no choice but to treat you as a prisoner."
"Everyone, let's keep drinking. We won't come home until we get drunk today."
Everyone was celebrating by exchanging cups and cups, but Military Advisor Zhao Deyan sat there blankly, falling into deep doubts. How could the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and the future successor, be living abroad, captured by the Goguryeo people, and finally sent to the Turks as prisoners?
After all, which country's prince is not closely protected? Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, the prince was only eleven years old, at the age when he was studying in a school. Why did he live among the people?
Could it be a scam? That's not right. Who would be willing to send his eleven or twelve-year-old son out as bait?
He couldn't figure it out, so after the banquet, Zhao Deyan secretly went to the camp where he was imprisoned and met Li Chengqian who was in a miserable state.
Li Chengqian glanced at it with disdain and had no intention of paying attention.
Zhao Deyan brought over a portion of food and wine, "Eat it. If you still want to go home and don't want to go on a hunger strike to fight, then you should eat well and work hard to survive."
"Huh, thief..."
"Haha, if you want to curse, you have to eat enough to have the strength. Don't be afraid of me poisoning you. If you want to kill you, you don't need to poison me. I will strangle you to death with one hand." Zhao Deyan said straight to the point: "I'm bringing you food. I want to ask you a question, which is considered an exchange. I know that you are not afraid of death, so do you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, dare to chat with me? If you are afraid that I will get out the secrets of the Tang Dynasty, haha, then forget it, this time is mine It’s a free gift.”
snort……
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, sat up straight and started eating and drinking. After all, he is still a child at heart, so this method of stimulating generals is still useful.
Zhao Deyan smiled: "Then let me ask, as the prince, you are not staying in the East Palace, why did you leave the palace? And you are still living here?"
