This time Xue Yantuo's envoy was named Tulishi, and he was another son of Yi Nan.
Honglu Temple Guest House.
Tu Lishi sat with his hair disheveled. This is not to say that his disheveled hair was mistreated by the officials of the Tang Dynasty. On the contrary, he was treated politely by the officials of Honglu Temple this time, and everything he ate and used was good.
The reason why his hair was disheveled was because the Prince of Tang ordered someone to give him a piece of special soap for him to bathe in.
In other words, Tulishi just took a bath and it smelled good.
He sniffed his arm and sighed towards his followers: "Now I finally understand why Jieli must go south."
"Why?" I followed him and asked.
Tu Lishi said in a deep voice: "This land in the south has a warm climate. Even in the coldest time, cattle and sheep will not freeze to death. If we can convert farmland into grazing, our people will not only be less tortured by the cold weather, but also
The population can also continue to grow.
In addition, the number of Han people is dozens of times that of ours. How strong will we be if we can take them all as slaves?
Also, these Han people have inherited it for a long time. I used to only love Han silk, but now, I also like this Han soap.
The Han people have a vast land and rich resources, and there must be more good things. If you can do it for me..."
At this point, Tulishi bit his tongue. He remembered that this was the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and maybe the walls had ears.
The follower said: "Master, our current enemy is the Turks. It's better not to think about these things now."
"I know." Tu Lishi said: "However, my father was a khan appointed by the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I heard that this prince of the Tang Dynasty is very young, which is really unacceptable."
The personal attendant advised: "The Prince of Tang Dynasty is nothing to worry about, but there are many generals in the Tang Dynasty and abundant supplies. We are not bowing to the Prince, we are just bowing to the Tang army temporarily. Furthermore, the master is right, the Prince of Tang Dynasty
How can he rule such a huge empire at such a young age? Maybe he will be the next Shibobi."
What kind of bobi?
Thinking of this person, Tu Lishi sneered.
Once a Turkic royal family, now a bereaved dog.
He is as young as the Tang Prince.
"That's right."
Two days later, the officials of Honglu Temple went to see the prince with unexpected benefits.
Tu Li lost himself in the carriage and quietly looked at the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, silently admiring the prosperous big city.
What was revealed in his eyes was a hint of hidden ambition.
Such a prosperous city should be ruled by a stronger person.
On the roadside, the spirited young man Feng Zhiding watched the carriage of envoy Xue Yantuo slowly heading towards the palace, and he was thinking something different.
After Feng An surrendered, he wrote to the imperial court to request that one of his sons be admitted to the Imperial Academy. This was Feng An's loyalty and he took the initiative to send the hostages over.
But in fact, Li Zhiyun knew very well that Feng Ang had dozens of sons. Who was this Feng Zhidai?
However, for the sake of stability in Lingnan, Li Zhiyun pinched his nose and agreed, pretending not to know.
In fact, what Li Zhiyun didn't know was that Feng Zhidai had a very famous eunuch descendant in history, named Gao Lishi.
"Sir, someone is coming to the house." A boy came to Feng Zhiding.
"I understand." Feng Zhidai nodded and looked away.
But he said that Tu Lishu entered Chengtianmen and came to Taiji Hall.
At this moment, he finally met the young Prince Tang.
He walked into the main hall and glanced at everyone. The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were standing side by side. Everyone was silent and stared intently.
Taking ten steps forward, Tu Lishi stopped politely. This was what he was taught by officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty to pay attention to when he was resting in the guest house of Honglu Temple.
It is said that if he had taken two steps closer, he would have been stabbed to death like an assassin.
"Suddenly, on behalf of Khan Xue Yantuo, I would like to send my regards to Prince Tang." He put his hand on his chest and bowed.
"Gu'an, please excuse me."
Tu Lishi straightened up and glanced at the young Prince Tang.
He is too young, even younger than himself. It is really unfair that such a person can rule such a huge empire!
Look at me?
Still looking at me?
Under the crown, Li Zhiyun's face showed a smile.
It’s interesting. Yi Nan’s son is very interesting and energetic.
Immediately, Tuli lost and presented Xue Yantuo's tribute, which included various animal skins, some war horses and precious stones.
After that, both sides got down to business.
"Father Khan has said that if the Tang Dynasty is willing to support Xue Yantuo, Xue Yantuo and his subordinates will always be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty and guard the Northern Desert for the Tang Dynasty. I also ask the prince to send troops immediately to kill Jie Li and restore peace to the people on the grassland."
Li Zhiyun said: "I only know this matter, please don't be impatient. I will definitely send troops one day to help you destroy the Turks. The people of the grassland are also the people of the saint of the Tang Dynasty. You don't have to worry."
What?
When did the people of the grassland become your people of the Tang Dynasty?
I couldn't stop complaining after losing my sudden advantage.
Overall, this conversation is mainly about one issue.
Xue Yantuo asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help, and Li Zhiyun said that he would definitely send troops. But as for when to send troops, Tu Lishu never got a definite answer from Li Zhiyun.
He was a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Because it was Xue Yantuo who had a request from the Tang Dynasty, he could only ask Li Zhiyun in a low voice to send troops as soon as possible.
Li Zhiyun said that he would do it as soon as possible.
As for when this will happen as soon as possible, only Li Zhiyun himself knows.
Anyway, what he wants is for Xue Yantuo and the Turks to fight so hard that both of them will be injured.
However, Li Zhiyun did not lose everything to Tuli. The two parties agreed that Xue Yantuo would exchange war horses and slaves for tea, salt, and ordnance eliminated by the Tang Dynasty.
Daily necessities were fine, but Li Zhiyun did not agree to the ordnance, only saying that it would be decided as appropriate.
This made Tu Lisi very unhappy, but due to the situation, he could only suppress his unhappiness in his heart.
An hour later, Li Zhiyun ordered people to send Tu Lishu back.
After Tu Li lost, Pei Ju stood up and said, "Your Highness, this Tu Li lost his words and deeds with arrogance and hidden dissatisfaction."
"Gu knows." Li Zhiyun said: "Gu didn't promise him anything. It was far from what he expected and thought. Of course he was dissatisfied."
Yuchi said respectfully: "You barbarian bitch, if you dare to be dissatisfied even if you ask for something from Your Highness, I'm afraid you are also an ambitious person."
Li Zhiyun laughed, "What Jingde said is right, but I feel that the prairie people are all ambitious people."
Yu Shiqian, the Minister of Rites, asked: "Your Highness, would you like to hold a banquet to receive Tu Lishu?"
"Have a banquet?" Li Zhiyun shook his head and said: "The people are not rich, so how can they dare to treat the barbarians with wine and meat? This generation is afraid of power and has no morality, so there is no need to do this."
Are you kidding me, entertaining barbarians with wine and meat?
He is not Yang Guang's prodigal son.
"When Yu Gong talked about this, Gu actually believed that resting with the people is the top priority, and the court needs to set an example and increase revenue and reduce expenditure. From now on, the big banquets can be saved."
"yes."
Immediately, Li Zhiyun ordered Pei Ju and Yang Gongren to discuss the mutual trade with Xue Yantuo, and then announced the disbandment of the court.
After he returned home, he thought about it and became angrier. He felt that his trip to Chang'an had no effect.
It seems like something has been done, and yet it seems like nothing has been done.
The young Prince Tang didn't seem to be a waste.
A few days later, Tu Li lost his trip to the Tang Dynasty and embarked on his way back to Xueyantuo.
And Li Zhiyun didn't pay too much attention to the sudden loss of the grassland and the split of the grassland. He had achieved his goal. He now just wanted to keep growing and then send Jieli away in a wave.
What's interesting is that Feng Zhidai brought him something unexpected.
