Cursing, he came to the gate and saw Tang Jian standing beside the stone lion outside the gate. Xiao Han was shocked and hurried forward to greet him:
"Oh, why didn't Brother Tang stand at the door and not come in? Xiaodong! Xiaodong! What did you do! Why didn't you let Brother Tang come in to warm up!"
Tang Jian also saw Xiao Han coming towards him at this time, and waved to him with a smile: "Okay, don't blame them! I just saw what you are doing... The Spring Festival couplets are interesting, so I read them for a while!"
"Oh? I thought they dared to neglect you, brother. If so, the boy will be guilty of a big crime!"
When Xiao Han heard Tang Jian's words, he immediately borrowed the ladder to get off the donkey, and the expression on his face instantly changed from anger to smile.
In fact, as long as those who are good friends with him come to Xiao Han's house, it is just like returning to their own home. There is no need for people from the Xiao Mansion to receive them, they can just rush in!
Tang Jian smiled and cupped his hands towards Xiao Han, pointed to the Spring Festival couplets on the door and said: "New Year's Day, Happy Festival, Changchun! This writing is good, is it your handwriting?"
Xiao Han nodded sheepishly and said with a smile: "It's just a couplet! If you like it, I'll write one for you and send it to your house!"
Tang Jian heard this and quickly shook his head: "No! If what you write is hung on the door, it won't be Spring Festival couplets, but Taoist charms! Others will definitely be thinking about my family's goblin making trouble during the Chinese New Year!"
"Oh? That's the best. It's a celebration and an exorcism at the same time. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The two joked with each other, and then laughed so loudly that the snowflakes on the courtyard wall almost shook.
After a long time, the two of them laughed.
Xiao Han rubbed his hands and pulled Tang Jian through the door. As he walked to the study, he asked, "Brother Tang came to see me today, but what's the matter?"
Tang Jian kept smiling on his face and deliberately said to Xiao Han: "Why, can't I come and see you if nothing happens?"
"Yes! Why not! If you come to my place, it will be like a flower!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Han immediately made an exaggerated gesture, which made Tang Jian almost roll his eyes.
"Okay! Let me tell you the truth! It was King Qin who asked me to come and take a look, so that I can tell you that the Turkic matter has almost been resolved. Don't let you cause any more troubles. It will not end well by then!"
"What? How could I get into trouble? I'm so low-key now that I'm almost transparent!" When Xiao Han heard Tang Jian's words, he immediately cried out.
He was a little unconvinced at first, but after hearing Chai Shao's words yesterday, he had already put aside those little thoughts! If this thing goes wrong and someone finds out and wants someone, in this case, Li Yuan will probably arrest him, clean him and give it to them...
"Huh? Really?" Tang Jian obviously didn't believe Xiao Han's words. He stopped and looked straight at Xiao Han, his eyes full of suspicion.
Under Tang Jian's eyes, Xiao Han was quickly defeated and muttered: "Okay, originally I had some thoughts, but they are much better than us, and I don't dare to get into trouble casually..."
There's no way, these old foxes are so smart that they can tell the truth at a glance.
Seeing Xiao Han's admission, Tang Jian nodded proudly, raised his legs and continued walking forward.
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment and quickly followed behind: "Hey, don't leave! Tell me how to solve this problem. Do we really need to prepare another thing for them?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Go into the house and say it slowly, asking someone to get some good tea. You are stingy. You only give me a little during the Chinese New Year, and it's not enough to drink!"
As they were talking, the study was in front of them. Tang Jian had been here a few times and was already familiar with the road. Before he finished speaking, he had already opened the door and walked in!
Looking at Tang Jian in the study who went straight to the bookshelf to browse, Xiao Han ordered Xiaodong to get water to make tea while cursing in his heart: "Whose fucking family is this? Whose guests are messing around in front of the owner?" Looking through things?”
However, these words cannot be said out loud. There is nothing important there anyway, so just let him be.
Soon, the tea was brewed. Tang Jian put down the manuscript, returned to the table, and took a comfortable sip of hot tea with a white porcelain tea cup. Then, under Xiao Han's urging, he briefly talked about the negotiations with the Turkic envoys. .
The Turkic envoys came this time to blackmail Datang. Everyone, including Xiao Han, knew this!
But knowing is knowing, the most helpless thing is that even though you know, you can’t resist! From ancient times to the present, the weak have no say in the face of strong power.
Now, unfortunately, Datang is the weak one.
In Tang Jian's words, at the beginning of the negotiation, the Turkic envoy was bitten to death and must pay tribute, otherwise they would send their troops south and completely shatter the situation that the Tang Dynasty had worked so hard to establish.
Regarding this point, Tang Jian also mentioned this to Xiao Han by the way. It was really not the Turks who were trying to scare them! According to the analysis of the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, this is most likely because the Tang Dynasty has grown too fast recently, which has given them a sense of crisis and they want to use this to beat the Tang Dynasty!
However, negotiations must come and go.
Later, after Li Shimin and others made peace, the Turkic envoys gradually relaxed. As for the excuses they used to make peace, Xiao Han was a little dumbfounded.
The reason Xiao Lizi gave to the Turks was that the Central Plains was not suitable for growing grass and grazing! It’s no use that the Turks occupied these lands! Not only can’t shepherd the sheep, but we must always be on guard against rebellion by the Han people, and we can’t even sleep well!
"Could this Turkic envoy be foolish by herding sheep on the grassland? Do you believe this reason?" Xiao Han couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
However, Tang Jian did not laugh. He shook his head and said to Xiao Han seriously: "Don't underestimate the Turks. They may not be good at the overall situation, but they are definitely not stupid! After all, the grassland environment is harsh, and only the most cunning , only those with the best physique can survive! The fool would have died long ago and been used as fertilizer on the grassland!"
"Then this reason can also scare them?" Xiao Han asked Tang Jian in confusion. Who can believe this reason is not a fool, but a smart person?
Tang Jian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea under Xiao Han's questioning eyes, and then explained: "You are wrong about this! We are Han people and have always had a possessive desire for land! So don't use our Think about them! The Turks have lived on grass since they were born, and have no concept of land or hometown at all, so they do not want or care about the land in the Central Plains! For them, all they want is our treasures, women That’s it!”
"But as long as they occupy the land, don't these things belong to them?" Xiao Han still expressed confusion about Tang Jian's words.
He actually wanted to ask a long time ago, since the Turks now have the power to sweep the world, why did they bother to support so many Han forces when the Sui Dynasty fell?
Do they really not know that when the Han forces rise, they will be completely killed?
