It was another red day in the east. Qimin Khan, accompanied by Changsun Sheng, came to Madam Fan City's city lord's palace as a guest to pay homage to Yang Ji. Ling Jing outside the door came in and reported: "Your Majesty, General Changsun and Qimin

The Khan is here."

"Yeah." Yang Ji nodded slightly, but he had no intention of going out to greet him. Because the title of Qimin Khan was conferred by Yang Jian, his status in the Sui Dynasty was only equivalent to that of a county king; and this year when the Yuan Dynasty met,

, he came to the court to congratulate him, and was officially named Longcheng County King by Yang Guang, the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

A mere county prince was naturally not as respected as the prince. In addition, the Turks were on the losing side at this time. Naturally, Yang Ji would not lower his status and go out to greet him. He just sat on the main seat with a majestic sword.

Yang Ji could clearly see Qimin Khan from a distance. He was much older than at the beginning of the year. Although he still had the curly beard unique to the Turks, his beard and hair were all white, and he became very thin. He no longer looked like that.

This kind of majestic attitude gives people a feeling of sluggishness.

"These days must be very difficult." Yang Ji thought with some gloating.

"King Ashina Ranqian of Longcheng County came to see King Wei. I wish King Wei long life." As he came closer, Qimin Khan stroked his chest and bowed in salute, and reported his title in the Sui Dynasty, but he said

He said blessings, but his tone was not so sincere.

"The king is exempt from courtesy!" Since ancient times, diplomatic etiquette has been so hypocritical. Even if I hate you deeply in my heart, I still have to do a good job on the surface. Since even the Turks are so polite, Yang Ji naturally can't

Losing his Sui style, he showed a warm smile on his face, stood up, clasped his fists in return, and greeted warmly: "Your Majesty, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qimin Khan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt very uncomfortable when he thought that this was the territory of the Turks, and yet Yang Ji was grandly accepting him as his master.

However, the Turks are not as strong as others, their sons are not up to par, and they have demands from others, so what can they do if they feel uncomfortable?

"The prince came all the way, thank you for your hard work..." Yang Ji and other Qimin Khan took their seats, exchanged casual greetings, and then went straight to the topic, smiling: "But I don't know why the prince came here?"

Qimin Khan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He swallowed his anger and said: "Your Majesty, I am here to establish good relations between the two countries and to eliminate misunderstandings."

"Misunderstanding?" Yang Ji said with a smile: "So many people died, but the prince said it was a misunderstanding? King, do you think I believe it?"

Qimin Khan glanced at Yang Ji and said sadly: "Although many people have died, I don't want to be like this. This misunderstanding was actually caused by my second son Qili Fushu."

"Really?" Yang Ji sneered and said, "Then let me hear what quibbles you have."

"It's not sophistry, it's the truth!" Qimin Khan cleared his throat and said slowly: "This misunderstanding is actually caused by Qili Fushe's arrogance and ambition. In order to outdo Duji,

On the other hand, he became the successor of the Turks, so he started this war without authorization. When I realized it, it was too late."

He glanced at Yang Ji and continued: "There are many ways to seize the direct descendants, and it is not uncommon in the Central Plains Dynasty. I believe that the king has a deep understanding of this kind of thing."

Yang Ji looked like he was watching a show: "Do you think I believe it?"

Qimin Khan sighed: "Whether your Majesty believes it or not, it is true."

Yang Ji was almost amused by him: "According to what you said, I have to kowtow to admit my mistake and compensate you for your losses?"

"There is no need for this! Your Majesty helped me teach my son a lesson to avoid the catastrophe of two kings seizing the throne in Turks. I am grateful before it is too late. How can I ask Your Majesty to kowtow and admit his mistakes and compensate for the losses?" Qimin Khan said with a righteous look: "

Fortunately, the king defeated the traitor, otherwise I really don’t know how to explain it to the saint."

"..." Yang Ji was really convinced. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless. He asked lightly: "What conditions do you have?"

"Your Majesty's words are serious. I am the saint's most loyal slave. How dare I ask my master for conditions?" Qimin Khan said, "I just have two small requests."

"Say!" Yang Ji said with a cold face, he had no patience to listen to his nonsense.

Qimin Khan said: "First of all, I plan to marry the princess into the Sui Dynasty!"

"You want a saint to be your son-in-law?" Yang Ji was shocked again. He knew that Yang Guang worked hard to promote Han culture in order to eliminate the violent Hu Feng in the country. In order to achieve this goal, Yang Guang has been practicing it personally. And

Qimin Khan was of the same generation as them, but he wanted to marry his daughter to Yang Guang? How could Yang Guang take the lead in messing up the hierarchy and etiquette for the sake of a woman?

"Of course not!" Qimin Khan shook his head and said, "I heard that the prince is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. If my daughter is lucky enough to become the prince's good wife, it will be a match made in heaven."

A trace of doubt flashed in Yang Ji's eyes. It was a trivial matter for Qimin Khan to send his daughter to Yang Zhao to play with. However, he did not make any statement on behalf of Yang Guang. Instead, he said: "I can't make the decision! You are not planning to enter the capital.

? You can tell it yourself."

Qimin Khan nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

"What's the second request?"

"This is a hateful misunderstanding, and I am going to Beijing to explain it clearly to the saint." Qimin Khan glanced at Yang Ji and sighed: "I beg you, your Majesty, to withdraw your troops for the sake of peace between the two countries!"

The implication is: You beat us so badly that even I, the Great Khan, was so frightened that I went to Beijing to be a hostage. Now that you have gained both fame and fortune, shouldn't you just accept it as soon as you get the chance?

"As long as the compensation is due and the ransom is received, I will retreat." Yang Ji heard his hidden meaning, but the marriage had nothing to do with him, and Qimin Khan was honestly preparing to enter the capital, but he couldn't

If you kill him, what else can you say?

Qimin Khan also heard what Yang Ji meant. If the compensation and ransom were not satisfactory to him, he would not leave. He looked at Yang Ji with his blue eyes and said with great sincerity: "I understand the king's meaning and sincerity.

, but as a Turkic Khan, since I have agreed to redeem the captives, I will naturally not break my promise to the Turkic people. However, the amount is huge, so I ask your Majesty to grant me a few days of grace."

"Yes, yes." Yang Ji smiled slightly and said, "But I also have a request, and I hope you can agree to it."

Gu Sui

Qimin Khan's heart tightened, and he quickly leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"I don't have a broad mind, let alone a magnanimous person. The principle I believe in is that I will not offend anyone unless they offend me; if someone offends me, I will pay him back a thousand times. To put it more arrogantly, anyone who offends me in the Sui Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is.

." Yang Ji said: "But in many tribes, I have seen many people who were captured by you living a life that is worse than pigs and dogs. Being a cattle slave or a sheep slave is still a light thing. What is more serious is to treat them as slaves.

Sold like cattle."

"I originally planned to let the Turkic nobles who enslaved the people of the Sui Dynasty experience the life of cattle slaves, sheep slaves and livestock. However, it was too troublesome to raise captives during the war, so I slaughtered them all. Now, we rescue them

You have saved many Sui people living in Turks, but I believe there are still many Sui people who are being 'taken care of' by you. If such people still exist, I hope that you, the Great Khan, will convince the ministries to send these people back to Gansu.

Jinshan County, Prefecture.”

Qimin Khan said quickly: "After I return, I will issue the Khan's order and ask all ministries to respectfully return the people of the Sui Dynasty."

"That's good!" Yang Ji nodded: "I hope all the chiefs will listen to you, otherwise, I will only have to come a few more times."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qimin Khan's face froze, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes. An inexplicable cold air went straight up his spinal cord. The scene of Turks being killed into mountains of corpses and seas of blood seemed to appear in his mind. He smiled bitterly and said: "

Then there is no need to trouble your Majesty."

"That's the best." Yang Ji smiled and said meaningfully to Qimin Khan: "You tell them: My family's business is very big, and all the prairie people who do business are my eyes and ears. If they

'If you dare to hide and refuse to pay, I don't need to say more about what the consequences will be?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qimin Khan felt a chill on his vest. Now that Yang Ji had great power, even though he did not deliberately emphasize his tone to threaten others, he still had the majesty of a superior person in his light and gentle movements.

, and he was famous for slaughtering countless Turkic warriors, so Qimin, the Eastern Turkic Great Khan who begged for help and groveled, also felt an unspeakable sense of tension.

More importantly, his physical condition began to decline rapidly this year, and his vitality became weaker and weaker day by day. Especially the second son's successive defeats caused him to vomit blood and fainted several times. This situation made him know that he did not have a few years to live.

.

Death is the inevitable destination of everyone. Even the great sage Khan Yang Jian could not escape it, so he naturally could not escape it. But Yang Jian left his son a powerful Sui Dynasty and countless elite soldiers and generals. And Yang Jian left his son a powerful Sui Dynasty and countless elite soldiers and generals.

He is in charge of a fragmented East Turkestan that is troubled by internal and external troubles. Once he dies, will his son be able to have a stable position like Yang Guang?

The answer is obviously no, at least, that's what Qimin Khan himself thinks. So he must leave a stable Eastern Turk for his descendants before his death. But at this time, the biggest obstacle to the stable inheritance of Eastern Turk is

If he continues to kill the decisive and ruthless King of Sui Dynasty in front of him, the Eastern Turks themselves will fall apart. The price is too heavy for him to dare to disobey Yang Ji.

This realization made Qimin Khan go crazy with hatred. However, he sadly discovered that apart from being obedient and obedient, he had no way to deal with the prince in front of him.

"Go back! As for the prisoners, compensation, ransom delivery and other matters, it will be discussed by the people below!" Yang Ji looked at Qimin Khan, who looked downcast, and suddenly felt a surge of pride in his chest; this was a good thing.

A very sudden and unexpected war caused the sudden

The elites in the western part of the Turks have been wiped out, and there are also countless people. In the future, as long as they cultivate a few vicious "horse thieves" on the grassland, there will be no peace in the western part of the Turks. From then on, northern Liangzhou no longer has to worry about the threat from the Turks.

.

"Yes!" Qimin Khan bent down and bowed deeply to Yang Ji, then walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and reached the edge of the square. He couldn't help but look back at the tall and majestic City Lord's Mansion. The flames of hatred could no longer be suppressed.

, he said to himself, "I, Ashina Rangan, will definitely pay you for the revenge of killing my son and the humiliation of today!"

"Great Khan!" After Qimin Khan got into a sealed carriage, Shi Shuhu Xi, who was sitting sideways inside, asked, "What's going on?"

"Yang Ji agreed to withdraw his troops." Qimin Khan waited for the carriage to start, then slowly told what happened, and finally said: "I also mentioned the marriage. The marriage partner is the prince Yang Zhao. As long as our princess

If you are favored by Yang Zhao, you can use Yang Zhao's hand to get rid of Yang Ji."

Shi Shuhu Xi slowly shook his head: "Great Khan, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but you are marrying the wrong person!"

"So who is right?" Qimin Khan asked.

"This is the Yang Ji you want to deal with!" Seeing Qimin Khan looking at him indifferently, Shi Shuhu explained: "Yang Ji is of noble birth and capable, and is not something we can deal with. But he was in the Sui Dynasty.

But he disdained to associate with the dignitaries of the Sui Dynasty; he was like an elegant and beautiful white swan. However, when this white swan was mixed among a group of crows that lived on human flesh, no crows would praise him or envy him, they would only say that he was

If you don't fit in with others, reject him."

Qimin Khan became moved, and he asked solemnly: "You mean to use the hands of powerful people to get rid of Yang Ji?"

"Exactly!"

"Do you think that's okay?"

Shi Shuhu Xi said slowly: "I think so! You also know, Great Khan, that internal strife is always the main reason for the weakness of the Central Plains dynasty, and these crows in the Sui Dynasty are our best weapon against this white swan.

.”

Qimin Khan nodded and asked: "How to do it specifically?"
