Xueyantuo was originally a small tribe, but they annexed the Eastern Turks and became as powerful as they are today.
Ashinasheer is the royal family of the Eastern Turks, how could Xue Yantuo accommodate him.
And Ashina Sheer almost wiped out the Western Turks, and the Western Turks could no longer tolerate him.
The Tang Dynasty was different. Although the demise of the Eastern Turks was related to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin did not kill Jieli Khan. In comparison, the hatred was not that deep.
Of course, no matter what, the Tang Dynasty was a foreign race to Ashina Sheer. If he had not reached the end of his rope, he would not have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Xuan did not expect Xue Rengui and the others to surrender Ashina Sheer.
I just hope they can secretly help Ashina Sheer and let him persist for a while.
"Even so, I think the chance of Ashina Sheer surrendering to the Tang Dynasty is very small." Cheng Chumo said.
Use yourself to save others.
If it were him, he would also choose to surrender to his own race rather than to a foreign race.
"You don't have to worry about these, just do as I say."
Lin Xuan can't say that in history, Ashina Sheer took refuge in the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
When Cheng Chumo and the others saw what Lin Xuan said, they could only nod.
"By the way, does your Majesty have a decree on when to send troops?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Although the time has not yet been determined, the weapons, food and grass have been prepared, and the weather is getting warmer now, so the day for dispatching troops should not be long," Xue Rengui said.
Li Shimin sent them to the border now just to deal with emergencies.
Although the weather in the grassland is still cold, it has gradually warmed up. In addition, they need to hide their whereabouts in rushing to the border, which takes more time.
Xue Rengui guessed that the day of dispatching troops would not be long.
"Then let the soldiers rest for the next few days. After I get married, I will go and join you." Lin Xuan said.
"It's just a pity that I can't drink the wedding banquet between you and Princess Changle. It must be very lively for three princesses to get married at the same time. But we won't be able to see such a grand occasion." Cheng Chumo said with a pity on his face.
"Yes, such a grand occasion is indeed rare." Yuchi Baolin agreed.
Lin Xuan said with a playful expression: "In that case, I will go and tell His Majesty that someone else will go and you will stay for the wedding banquet."
Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, but he put the wedding of Princess Changle, Princess Gaoyang, and Princess Qinghe on one day.
Lin Xuan felt that Li Shimin must be trying to save money.
The princess's wedding was held in the palace, and the money spent was from Li Shimin's Ministry of Internal Affairs. Lin Xuan had reason to believe that Li Shimin did this to save money.
"Don't, don't."
Just kidding, how could they let it go when they finally had the opportunity to make a great contribution?
If Li Shimin really replaced them, it would be a huge loss.
…………
More than ten miles away from Luoyang, many people are busy building roads on the road leading to Chang'an.
"Sir, my little one has a stomachache."
Zhang Dali waved his hand and said, "Go and come back quickly."
"Yes, yes." The farmer nodded repeatedly and ran towards the grass not far away.
Zhang Dali frowned slightly as he watched the civilian husband go away. At this moment, seven or eight people had already complained about stomachaches.
At first, he thought it was the common people taking advantage of this to be lazy, but he sent someone to follow him and found out that he was indeed suffering from diarrhea.
It is normal for someone to have diarrhea, but the team he is responsible for only has a few dozen people in total, and there are seven or eight people with diarrhea in such a short time, which is obviously abnormal.
Thinking of this, Zhang Dali made an explanation and went to the chief foreman to report the matter.
When he came to the shed where the general foreman was, he found that many small foremans like him had come over.
When the general foreman Xu Yanbin saw Zhang Dali coming over, he frowned and asked: "You also have diarrhea among civilians there?"
Zhang Dali was stunned and said, "Sir, that's right. So far, seven or eight people have had diarrhea."
Xu Yanbin looked gloomy. According to the number of people reported by these small foremen, together they accounted for almost 30% of the total number of people.
Moreover, the number of people is still increasing. If this continues, it will definitely delay the progress of road construction.
"You go back immediately and take care of the civilians. Don't discuss this matter in private." Xu Yanbin ordered.
"yes."
The little foreman agreed and went back.
"Come here, go to the city and invite more doctors."
Xu Yanbin was very worried. He was worried about whether there was a plague.
If it's a plague, the trouble will be big.
What he was most worried about was that he would be delayed in building roads because of it. Unlike those small foremen, he was a serious official.
The road construction was managed by the prince, and he wanted to show off well and get into Li Chengqian's sight.
Now it seems that it is good to keep the official position this time.
"Have you heard that many people have diarrhea because the food we eat is moldy?"
A farmer looked around and whispered to the people around him.
"No way? Didn't you say that the prince was responsible for building the road this time? How could he feed us moldy food?"
"Yes, the imperial court did not directly collect corvee labor this time and paid us wages. How could it feed us moldy food?"
The imperial court did not impose corvees this time and hired civilian laborers. The civilian laborers were very grateful to the imperial court and were not easily provoked.
"Why does the imperial court pay us when it can directly recruit us to build roads? How can such a good thing happen in ancient times? Since the imperial court has spent this money, it will naturally have to make up for it elsewhere. Moldy food can save a lot of money.
money."
When many people think about it, they think it makes sense and have doubts in their eyes.
"Everyone think about it, if they hadn't eaten moldy food, why would so many people have diarrhea? I heard that not only our team, but also many people in other teams had diarrhea. The court didn't care about our lives or lives at all." The civilian husband continued.
Provocatively said.
Many civilians were attracted and said angrily: "That's too much. They even gave us moldy food to eat."
"What are you doing? You don't want to do it anymore, right?"
As soon as Zhang Dali came back, he saw that the people were not working and gathered around. They secretly thought it was not good and they quickly scolded them.
"Master Zhang, we want to know if all the food we eat is moldy?"
When the civilian husband saw Zhang Dali coming back, he quickly asked.
Zhang Dali's expression changed and he shouted: "You are talking nonsense, how can I feed you moldy food?"
"Sir, if this is not the reason, why do so many people have diarrhea?"
"Yes, sir, why don't you let us go look at the food?"
The villagers surrounded Zhang Dali, and one of them slipped away quietly while no one was paying attention.
This scene happened to all teams, and the entire construction site stopped.
When Xu Yanbin heard the commotion and noise, he walked out of the work shed and his face changed drastically.
"Someone, hurry up and stop it. There must be no trouble."
If a civil uprising breaks out, his life will be lost, let alone his official position.
The officials standing around quickly rushed over to stop him.
If corvee labor is called for, many officials will be dispatched to supervise the work in order to prevent civilians from escaping.
But this time we hired civilian workers, and the wages were gone once the wages were lost.
Therefore, we were not worried about the civilians escaping, and only sent a dozen officials to maintain order.
However, there were hundreds of civilian workers building roads in this area, and it took more than a dozen officials nearly half an hour to calm them down.
There were too few officials, so all the people had to be gathered together.
