Tumidu's wishful thinking this time completely collapsed. He originally wanted to marry a Tang Dynasty princess, then pull the tiger's skin to strengthen himself, and finally find an opportunity to kill Xue Yantuo and become the leader of the Tang Dynasty on the grassland.
However, he should not dream of marrying a Tang Dynasty princess.
He should not even dream of marrying Princess Jinyang!
The Tang Dynasty today is no longer the Tang Dynasty that it was four or five years ago that had to bow its head or even apologize to the Turks.
The current Tang Dynasty is the most emerging empire in the known civilized world that cannot be provoked, provoked, or even thought of!
Three days later, the Holy Emperor Khan Li Zhiyun asked them to go back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers, without even giving them any 'gifts' in return.
Moreover, their great Holy Emperor Khan also ordered that each tribe should pay 50% of their taxes to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year.
What?
You don't want to?
That's great, we just need an excuse to mobilize troops.
The Holy Emperor Khan said it very well in his imperial edict. He is not a Turk and will not be so crazy as to demand all of their income, only half.
What pity for the grassland people!
Only Tumido and Ba Zhuo felt as uncomfortable as eating flies after hearing the news.
Because the previous Central Plains dynasties never stipulated that they pay half of the tax every year, isn't this a clear robbery?
Afraid of the terrifying and unstoppable Tang Qi, they could only accept the imperial edict with a smile, and loudly praised His Majesty the Holy Emperor Khan for being so benevolent and caring for the people!
What is the Holy Emperor Khan?
The Khan of all the Khans in the grassland is the Holy Emperor Khan!
The father of the grassland people is the godson of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
No one mentioned the marriage again, and it was completely abandoned. Tumidu could only leave Chang'an with regret and unwillingness. When he and Bazhuo parted ways, Bazhuo threatened to kill him.
But don’t be afraid of vomiting!
Because, he will be the next Uighur Khan!
Yes, before leaving, Tumido paid a private visit to the Holy Emperor Khan once more and informed him of the news that the old Uighur Khan, his father Khan, Yao Luoge Bodhisattva, was not going to die soon.
Afterwards, Li Zhiyun agreed that he would become the next Uighur Khan.
Originally, Tumidu did not need to ask the emperor of the Tang Dynasty what he wanted, who would inherit the Uyghurs, and who had a Mao relationship with you in the Tang Dynasty?
But the Khitan people were killed, which made the Uighurs realize a fact.
If Datang doesn’t admit it, then it won’t work!
What would they do if the Tang Dynasty attacked them in the future and used the excuse of "Tumidu Khan" to take the throne improperly?
Therefore, Tumidu came and asked the Holy Emperor Khan what he meant.
The Holy Emperor Khan agreed, and he could safely inherit the throne of the Uighur Khan.
These are all rules!
Although there is no express provision, this is a rule that is more binding than the express provision!
Haven't you seen the reality that the Khitan people were exterminated because they were disobedient?
In front of the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty, no grassland tribe dared to do anything without the consent of His Majesty the Holy Emperor Khan.
The Uighurs can't do it, Xue Yantuo can't do it, and even the already dead Turks can't do it!
Strong!
overbearing!
Invincible!
Big cheers!
Political Hall.
Li Zhiyun stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands. A piece of white paper was burning in the brazier, and the ink characters on it gradually turned into ashes under the burning flames.
"Your Majesty, this is a pity." Yang Gongren said regretfully: "If we wait another two years and Yaoluoge Bodhisattva dies, the Uighurs will be completely divided no matter what."
"I think it's just right." Du Ruhui analyzed: "This is the best time for Tumidu to go back and inherit the position of Uighur Khan. Splitting the Uighurs before Xue Yantuo's death will only lead to the dominance of Xue Yantuo's family.
But now that Tumido has ascended the throne, the Uighurs are unstable, and he can only rely on our court to fight against the Xueyantuo tribe."
Du Ruhui admired His Majesty's decision very much. He was originally worried that His Majesty would be disgusted by Tu Midu's delusional proposal to marry Princess Jinyang, but he didn't expect His Majesty to still remain sober as he should be. This is really good!
"That's right." Xue Shou chuckled and said, "This Tumidu is quite an outstanding person. He actually thought of asking to marry our princess, kidnapping our court, and helping him deal with Xue Yantuo."
At this point, he sneered and said disdainfully: "He is simply dreaming!"
For the officials of the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether they were Xue Yantuo or Uighurs, they had to die cleanly to be considered finished!
Split?
Checks and balances?
That is the past tense. Now that the Tang Dynasty wants slaves, the prairie people are the best private land.
Li Zhiyun turned around and looked at the fire pot, where the secret report from the grassland was burned to ashes. The death of the Turks was not complete, and Tang detectives were still scattered all over the grassland. Unless the grassland turned into the back garden of the Tang Dynasty and a slave production place,
Otherwise, Tang Tan will always be active in the grassland.
This is necessary and necessary!
"Over there on the grassland, we can't let down our guard. After these two years have passed, maybe we should consider how to plan the situation." Li Zhiyun's dull voice contained absolute confidence.
What if Tumidu succeeded the Uighur Khan?
This is what he gave!
If he doesn't give it to me, I can't steal it, let alone dare to steal it!
When he wanted to take it back, if Tumidu was wise, he could even give him a governor's palace to support him in his old age.
If you don't know what's going on, Dahe Duluo will serve as a warning for you.
"As you command!"
The prime ministers agreed one after another.
They are so cool!
This group of prime ministers all came from the Sui Dynasty and were deeply affected by the bird spirit of the grassland tribes. Now it is so damn good to see these barbarians and lowly people being so groveling!
Waiting to kill them will only be more enjoyable!
The natural disasters in the third year of Zhenguan were much less frequent than those in the previous two years.
In May, a locust plague occurred in Xuzhou, and the emperor sent people to provide relief.
With tribute from all the tribes in the grassland, Li Zhiyun can spend less money this time.
As for the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
Sorry, it's already empty. We can only recover a little bit when new grains are shipped from various places in the fall.
Grassland, Uighur tribe.
Tumidu came back and saw his old father lying on the bed.
"Father Khan, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty rejected my request to marry the princess." Tumidu felt that it was a little difficult to face the elders in his hometown. After a pause, he said happily: "But the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty agreed to our request and allowed me to succeed the Khan.
position."
This time he went to the Tang Dynasty, but he vowed to bring back a Tang Dynasty princess.
As a result, Fu was not brought back. Instead, he was bleeding profusely and sent people to pay tribute. Fortunately, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty allowed him to inherit the position of Uighur Khan, which was considered a consolation.
He would not dare to do so without paying tribute.
Not to mention whether Tang Qi would kill him or not, as long as the Tang Dynasty ordered Xue Yantuo to do it, the Uighurs would not be happy either.
The Bodhisattva was silent for a while and sighed: "The sky is going to change."
"ah?"
Seeing that his son did not understand, the Bodhisattva slowly said: "This young Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is completely different from the previous emperors of the Central Plains. He is shameless and wants benefits. Not only does he want benefits, but he is also extremely greedy.
Why the Turks disappeared so cleanly is not the plan of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If he continues to be so greedy, sooner or later, the Uighurs will become the next Turks."
"Then what should we do?" Tumidu frowned.
"This is not what you should consider now." The Bodhisattva said: "After you inherit the position of Khan in the future, you must find a way to defeat Xue Yantuo first. Only by annexing Xue Yantuo can we have a chance to fight with the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, we can only wait to surrender.
."
Defeat Xue Yantuo?
Tumidu didn't have much confidence in his heart, but for the sake of the continuation of the tribe, he could only solemnly agree to the Bodhisattva.
Soon after, in July of the third year of Zhenguan, Yaoluoge Bodhisattva, the Uyghur Khan of Duodeng, died of illness. His son Yaoluoge Tumido came to the throne, and the Tang Dynasty named him the new Uighur Khan, named Jialilao.
