Chapter 399 Wuhua seeks knowledge and Jieli performs dance
What shocked Jie Li and the prairie tribe nobles was not just the sky street that was as bright as the Milky Way.
The visitors on the grassland were even more dumbfounded by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who stood on Tian Street to show them off.
It's not unusual to be covered in armor. They have all seen the Tang army in full armor, and they have also been defeated by others on the battlefield.
But there were so many Tang soldiers in full armor, with two armored soldiers standing on both sides every one foot to form a human wall, and the armor was so beautiful under the light. It was absolutely unheard of, and even thought about.
never thought about.
In their opinion, this is probably the so-called heavenly soldier and heavenly general.
Before arriving at the palace, everyone looked up at the palace, which was illuminated by countless kerosene lamps, as if they were looking up at the heavenly palace.
It's so shocking. For most of these people who have been wandering around the grasslands all their lives and have at most seen firefly cowhide armor and earthen cities made of clay, Chang'an City is like a fairy palace that only exists in myths and legends.
The presence.
Seeing the tribal nobles and elders walking into the hall with their heads lowered and hunched over, not daring to breathe, Li Yunze smiled at Wu Hua beside him and said, "Do you know what they are thinking about right now?"
Wu Hua, who ran over on his own initiative, asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? Thinking about meeting His Majesty, are you feeling excited?"
"No, no."
Li Yunze shook his head repeatedly, "What they are thinking now is that if this idiot Jie Li hadn't been defeated, everything here would be theirs after they invaded Chang'an City."
Naturally, he spoke without any worries, and all the smiling people nearby heard it, including Li Er, who was nodding with a smile on the throne.
After hearing this, Li Er's face suddenly darkened.
Over there, Jie Li and others had already arrived in the palace and bowed respectfully to Li Er who was sitting on the dragon chair.
Just when they were about to say something, Jie Li and others were shocked when they heard a clear girl's voice: "Why are you still thinking about plundering Chang'an City when you have obviously lost?"
Jie Li and others wondered, could it be that the Tang Emperor's princess was there?
"That's because the productivity on the grassland is low. If you want to survive well, you have to steal what others have." Li Yunze explained with a smile that never faded. "If someone who is strong and strong cannot beat him, he will take the initiative to join in.
Just watch, these robbers will shout later
Your Majesty is the Khan of Heaven and has taken the initiative to recognize the boss and want to follow the Tang Dynasty."
Sure enough, the tribal nobles over there, who had already discussed the process, shouted to Li Er, 'Khan~~~' according to the previous agreement.
This should be a happy thing, after all, so many tribes recognize Li Er as their boss.
But Li Er couldn't be happy, because there was obviously something in Li Yunze's words.
However, the process still needs to be carried out. The historians over there are writing furiously. This kind of thing recorded in the annals of history cannot happen.
"I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Li Er squeezed out a smile and waved to signal the nobles of the tribe to stand up, "Are you going to do the Khan thing again?"
Wu Hua is young and courageous. With Li Yunze by his side, he dares to say anything, "Master, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty has such a good face, he really wants to be the Khan of Heaven, that is, the boss of the whole world, including the grassland." Li Yunze explained with a smile, "It sounds like he is politely declining the question, but in fact he is asking these barbarians to shout long live.
, from now on he will be the legitimate Heavenly Khan
Already."
As soon as he finished speaking, representatives from many tribes such as Bare Yegu, Pugu, Xi and other ministers shouted in unison, "Long live, long live, long live, long live~~~"
Fortunately for the prairie nobles who don't understand Chinese, those Tang ministers looked quite weak when they shouted.
Because Li Yunze's previous words were really inappropriate.
Li Er twitched his eyes, but did not tell Li Yunze to shut up. He also wanted to know what Li Yunze, this strange man, thought of him.
Naturally, noble officials would not say much. After all, the most important thing about being in the court is that doing more is worse than doing less. Wei Zheng even nodded and said that Li Yunze is a person who likes to tell the truth.
Li Yunze naturally didn't care about this. He asked Wu Hua beside him to "pay attention, there will be a famous scene later."
"What famous scene?"
"In order to save his life, Jieli must dance for His Majesty."
It is true that there are tribal nobles who do not understand Chinese, but Jieli understands it.
Hearing this, his face twitched wildly, and he wished he could sink Li Yunze into the Beihai.
Wuhua's side is still asking, "Can you save your life by dancing? Then wouldn't the dancer not die no matter what?"
"This matter depends on your identity."
Li Yunze explained seriously, "For His Majesty, the most shameful thing about him growing up is not the punishment he received under Yun Dingxing."
As soon as these words came out, many civil and military nobles around him immediately fell into the state of meditation, pretending that they were wandering in space, and did not hear the embarrassing things of the emperor's youth at all.
But the ears that pricked up to listen were a true reflection of their mood at this time.
"It's normal for young people to be humble when they first join the army." Li Yunze looked at Jie Li who was not far away. "The most shameful thing for Your Majesty is that Jie Li forced him to sign a city alliance on the banks of the Weishui River."
"You have to know that His Majesty joined the army at the age of sixteen and has been almost invincible in the past ten or twenty years, sweeping the world. But he was forced by Jie Li to bow his head and sue for peace. How can such a proud and arrogant person do that?
Tolerate."
"Just like King Gou Jian of Yue, he endured humiliation and heavy burden for three years, and now he finally defeated his enemy with a backhand."
Wu Hua interrupted Li Yunze and said, "Master, you haven't said why you won't die if you perform dance."
"Because your Majesty deeply hates the Turkic Khan Jieli." Li Yunze finally looked at Li Er who said nothing. "The Turkic Khan Jieli was already dead when the Turks were defeated. Now this one
The person named Jieli is not your Majesty’s enemy. He is just a
He’s just an unlucky guy who used the Turks’ past prestige to beg in order to survive.”
"What this Jieli presents is not a dance, but the prestige of the Turks that has suppressed the Central Plains for hundreds of years."
"After the dance, no one will take the Turks seriously anymore. The Turks, who once made people awed when they mentioned it, will become a joke from now on. Because their khan was captured and did what he did in Chang'an City
Got dancing skills.”
You could hear a needle drop in the hall, and only Li Yunze's voice echoed.
The tribal nobles who could understand Chinese looked at Jie Li at the front with complicated expressions.
These people have only one thought in their minds.
'Great Khan, you still have some dignity, so just hit the pillar and die!'
Li Er, who was silent, smiled, stared at Jie Li and said, "Long time no see, how is Khan?"
He lowered his head and responded in a low voice, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's okay."
"I heard that Khan prepared dance music for me. Is this true?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Jie Li.
Jie Li was silent with his head lowered, and Li Er's eyes gradually became colder.
If Jieli was so ignorant, then this Turkic Khan would have committed suicide with hundreds of stabs in his body.
Wu Hua's voice over there sounded again: "Master, can he dance?"
"meeting!"
Li Yunze said firmly, "If I didn't want to, I wouldn't have come to Chang'an City at all. Now that I've come to Chang'an City, I'm already in front of the emperor, how can I not jump?"
Sure enough, Jieli over there finally responded, "Yes, Jieli has prepared dance music to congratulate His Majesty."
There were sounds of relief in the hall, it was better that nothing happened.
If Jie Li suddenly got up at this moment and made a show of banging his head against a pillar or something, or simply yelled at Li Er and said that he couldn't afford to carry out a sneak attack, things would be much more troublesome.
As Fang Xuanling shouted, "Play music~~~"
When the music sounded, everyone retreated, leaving only Jie Li standing in the hall.
Despite all his reluctance, Jieli still danced on the spot like a robot.
It doesn't matter whether he dances well or not. What everyone cares about is not his dancing, but the political significance of Jieli, a Turkic Khan, who danced for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
"The Turks who have oppressed the Central Plains for hundreds of years are finished." Li Yunze's voice sounded. "No tribe will tremble in front of the Turks anymore. They will only mock the Turks for their ability to sing and dance. The vassals of the Turks will
Fall apart quickly and then cast
Run to Tian Khan’s door and come down.”
Wu Hua, who looked innocent, asked, "Will they be the most loyal vassals of the Tang Dynasty from now on?"
"This kind of thing can only happen in dreams." Li Yunze picked up the glass on the table in front of him. "I have said before that the productivity on the grassland is low. If you want to live well, you have to grab it. The reason why we call it now
Your Majesty, Tian Khan, that is because you recognize your Majesty’s martial arts.
Even the Turks were defeated, so what do they mean?"
"But their true intentions will not change, because the environment is still the same as before. On the contrary, they have to hold back their anger because of the force of the Tang Dynasty."
"They defected to the Tang Dynasty and called His Majesty Tian Khan because they wanted to rob it with the Tang Dynasty. But how could the Tang Dynasty really give them meat to eat? No one is a fool. The Tang Dynasty just wanted them to sing and dance."
After hearing this, Wei Zheng tried to silence Li Yunze.
It's enough for you to know this kind of thing. How can you say it in front of those nobles of the tribe?
Fang Xuanling on the side reached out to grab him and shook his head vigorously.
Wei Zheng, who was dressed roughly, looked at the emperor. It was time for Li Er to express his stance.
Sure enough, Li Er, who was sitting on the dragon throne, asked slowly, "Mr. Lantian County, how do you want to resolve this matter? So that all tribes can sing and dance with peace of mind from now on?"
"Two ways."
Li Yunze raised two fingers towards Li Er, "The first is that the Tang Dynasty will always be prosperous with force. As long as it can maintain strong force deterrence, the tribes on the grassland will not dare to risk the death of the entire tribe, even if they are so poor that they eat grass.
Destiny makes trouble.
"
"Yeah." Li Er nodded. He was very confident about this. After all, he was the emperor. He believed that the Tang Army's cavalry, which could kill even the Turks, would easily deal with those tribes. "What else?"
"The other thing is to increase productivity."
Li Yunze simply showed his hands, "As we all know, the prairie is called grassland, but it is actually a vast and desolate Gobi."
"Isn't that right?" Someone immediately retorted, "The sky is blue and the fields are vast. The grass is blown by the wind and you can't see the cattle and sheep. How can this be the Gobi Desert?"
"Dig out that grass and take a look." Li Yunze stretched out his hand and pointed. "You don't have to dig too deep to see that the ground is full of gravel."
"The prairie is actually a desert with long grass, and the livestock that can be fed for grazing are very limited. Otherwise, if it were really rich enough to raise countless livestock, the northern tribes would have swarmed southward endlessly. How could it be possible from
Eastern Hu and Xiongnu era
Until now, there has been no way to increase the population."
The Tang people who said this may still be a little confused, but those tribal nobles who can understand Chinese are almost in tears.
It's so rare that there are people in Middle-earth who understand the difficulties of their lives.
Not only is the land barren on the prairie, but the white snow lasts for a month in winter. Many tribes were buried under the heavy snow and disappeared without a trace.
"If you want to increase productivity, you have to allow them to make money."
Li Yunze said with a smile, "Based on the productivity of this era, Prairie still has its own flagship products."
