"What did you say?" Li Ke looked at Huo Gang in front of him in shock.
It's like this. It seems that there is already a bit of summer around Chang'an. It is now late April, and the temperature at noon in Chang'an is already very high. The surrounding land is already covered with green, and a lot of winter wheat has grown in the ground.
Li Ke thought about his next step and began to harvest the money of the Tang Dynasty clan, so he was going to ask people to sort out the situation of the kings and nobles in the Western Regions.
The person who knew the situation of these people was undoubtedly Jiang Quhu. When he asked people to find Jiang Quhu, he found out that this guy was not in Chang'an. He asked people to ask Huo Gang, and then got a request. Li Ke was shocked by the news.
Jiang Quhu actually went on an envoy to Xue Yantuo with Qibi, He Li and others.
"Jianghou Ye didn't know where he got the news. He introduced himself to Your Majesty and said that he was very experienced in persuading people, so he was willing to accompany the three generals on an envoy. Even if his eloquence was not good, he could show up. It speaks for itself.”
"Later, His Majesty considered that this was indeed the case and agreed to go with him." Huo Gang said.
Li Ke was a little speechless. Although the three of them did not conceal their mission, after all, it was not a shameful thing, and they were going to a vassal country of the Tang Dynasty in an open and honest manner.
Therefore, it must go through the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and then formulate relevant regulations, and then the three of them will go on an envoy.
Although this is not a secret incident, good guy, he, a king of the Western Regions, has only been in Datang for more than two years, and he can get such news. Is this guy a social terror? Social terrorist.
"Forget it, everyone is gone, let him go. Go and find out who among these people has more weight in speaking except Jiang Quhu." Li Ke said.
"yes."
While Li Ke and Huo Gang were questioning, Jiang Quhu and others had already arrived at Xue Yantuo's court.
When he received the news that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had arrived, especially the arrivals of Qibi Heli, Zhisi Wanli, Ashinadur and others, Zhenzhu Khan was shocked at first. He thought that the Tang Dynasty envoys had arrived. The army came over, and later learned that the other party only had a thousand cavalry and came in the name of an envoy. Zhenzhu Khan breathed a sigh of relief.
But after he breathed a sigh of relief, he became nervous again. It didn't take much to figure out why these three people came at this time. They must have something to do with Xue Yantuo's next step.
So Zhenzhu Khan is very uneasy now, not knowing what Datang means.
However, he met the other party immediately. However, when the two parties met, Zhenzhu Khan was a little surprised that there was a fourth person, and this person did not seem to be from the Central Plains.
And the other party's introduction also made Zhenzhu Khan confirm that he had never heard of this person. Jiang Quhu? This name is a bit strange.
After the two parties greeted each other, Zhenzhu Khan began to ask about the other party's intention.
"Khan, when the three of us came here, Khan must have had some guesses in his mind about Xue Yantuo's future." Qibi Heli said. Bi Heli, the envoy of the Fellowship, was the chief envoy, so naturally the one who started to speak was he.
"I did make some guesses. I don't know what Tian Khan means." Zhenzhu Khan looked calm.
"These vassal countries around the Tang Dynasty have betrayed the Tang Dynasty again and again. Your Majesty has worked hard, so your Majesty has only one policy for the surrounding small countries, which is to join the Tang Dynasty and become part of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, the nobles of these countries will not be affected by the Tang Dynasty. They will be treated badly.”
"And after Xue Yantuo is included in the Tang Dynasty, he will become the Hanhai Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty. Oh, by the way, the Tao of the Tang Dynasty will be cancelled, and each state will be the highest unit in the future." Qibi Heli said directly, adding himself The purpose was stated.
Although Zhenzhu Khan had been prepared in his heart, when he actually heard the answer from the other party's mouth, he was still a little inexplicably angry. Isn't this an open robbery?
"We and other vassal states have been trying our best to help the Tang Dynasty win the war from the beginning until today. Is this how the Tang Dynasty treats us? Isn't this just robbery?" Zhenzhu Khan said directly and loudly.
Of course, he did not say too much in some words. Firstly, telling these envoys would not have much effect. Secondly, they were also envoys. To put it harshly, even if he killed them all, it would actually have no effect. Too big an effect.
At this time, conversation is naturally the main focus.
"Khan, can I say a few words?" Jiang Quhu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said.
"Who are you?" Zhenzhu Khan looked at Jiang Quhu and saw that Qibi Heli didn't interrupt him, so he must have some identity.
"I am a county prince of the Tang Dynasty. I was once the king of Ruoqiang Kingdom, one of the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions. Jiang Quhu had an encounter with His Highness when he went to Qinghai Road. Later, after His Highness's persuasion, I will I am the one who betrayed Ruoqiang to Your Highness." Jiang Quhu introduced himself first.
"Oh..." Zhenzhu Khan lengthened his voice and said with a hint of sarcasm: "If you say your name, I really don't know it, but if you say it's Ruoqiang country, then I know After all, there are really not many people who sell their country, even if it is a small country."
"I know that Khan must look down on me in his heart, but to use a poem by His Highness, it is: "Others laugh at me because I am too crazy, and I laugh at others who cannot see through it." Maybe I am a little crazy, but in fact you don't understand at all. You know what I got." Jiang Quhu said calmly.
"Before this, Ruoqiang was not a big country. To put it bluntly, I had nothing to do every day. If there were some cases of stealing and people quarreling, I, the king, would personally go to resolve the case because I was really bored."
"Ruoqiang is surrounded by desert, and it is hundreds of miles away from the nearest country. Although there are caravans coming and going, in fact, what they are exposed to all day long is just grazing, planting, and a series of other things. I, a king, can see What? Apart from the yellow sand and various plants, that’s all the whole day."
Jiang Quhu's words were very ordinary, but his ordinary words surprised Zhenzhu Khan. Thinking about it carefully, there was indeed some truth in what the other party said. These lives are a bit boring.
"Khan, I dare to say something, Khan, do you think your current life is interesting?" Jiang Quhu looked at him and asked with a smile.
