The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 1249 Unexpected Situation
The history of the Turkic Khanate is much longer than that of the Tang Dynasty, even longer than that of the Sui Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty, which later replaced the Sui Dynasty, was a junior in front of the Turkic Khanate. Although after several changes, the power of the Khanate has been transferred from the Ashina family to the hands of the Right Wise King.

But as long as the Right Wise King did not establish another kingdom and still flew the flag of the Turkic Khanate, that would be the orthodox Turkic state.

What's more, the Turks are now powerful and have such a strong offensive and defensive momentum. If the other side has a prime minister, the Tang Dynasty should also have an official of the same level to receive them.

As soon as Fang Xuanling left, Li Shimin turned to look at Hou Junji and said, "Junji, many officials in this court do not know the important figures in the Turkic Right Wise King's tribe. You have dealt with the Right Wise King the most and are most familiar with their internal situation."

"As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy. Take this opportunity to explain it to the ministers in detail!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hou Junji glanced at Li Chengqian on the altar, and seeing that he had no expression on his face and did not make any comment, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, this Right Wise King is named Li Yan, and he is undoubtedly from the Central Plains, and he is from Taiyuan in Hedong Province."

"He grew up in Jinyang City until the Wude period, when his mother died. He then drifted to the grasslands and followed Jie Li."

Having said this, Hou Junji paused for a moment, and all the officials in the court also looked solemn.

The rumor that the Right Wise King was Li Jiancheng's eldest son has never ceased, and the Right Wise King himself has never denied it. Not only Li Shimin investigated this period of history, but some noble families also made great efforts to find out.

However, the growth record of the Right Wise King seemed to have been wiped out by a pair of big hands, and no one could find any trace of him. After many wars in Jinyang, especially after the Li family entered Chang'an and Taiyuan was plundered by Liu Wuzhou, no trace of him could be found.

This alone makes people think more.

Just imagine if he was just an ordinary person, how could he have covered up his growth experience of more than ten years so perfectly.

Unless there has been a big shot secretly, such as Li Jiancheng or Li Yuan.

However, this matter was too sensitive, and no one dared to speak of it. At this time, Hou Junji's statement was just a brief mention, but everyone knew the implication. The civil officials and military generals standing on the opposite sides looked at each other, exchanged glances frequently, and understood each other tacitly.

Li Shimin said unhappily: "We all know about the Right Wise King. Please focus on the people under him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hou Junji saw that although Li Shimin was dissatisfied, the emperor was smiling, and he knew that he had grasped the emperor's pulse. When he found that the Turks were all fighting under the Li character flag when they went south, he knew that the emperor would definitely confirm the origin of the Right Xian King.

If for no other reason than for the bloodline left by the emperor on the grassland.

If the current puppet Right Xian Wang is recognized as a descendant of Li Jiancheng, it would be considered as recognizing one's ancestry. Of course, these "princes" who are destined to control the power of the grassland in the future must know the real situation.

If he really recognized it under the emperor's name, Hou Junji would certainly be uneasy. But if he put it under Li Jiancheng's name, it would not threaten his grandson. Therefore, Hou Junji had to help the situation at the risk of offending Li Shimin.

After a brief taste, Hou Junji changed the subject and said, "The Right Wise King has set up the Left and Right Great Danghu, which are respectively served by the two deputies, the civil official Hermu and the military hero Gu Rentu. They are equivalent to the Left and Right Wise Kings under the Great Khan."

"Following them are the twelve great captains, twenty-four great chiefs, and hundreds of captains of ten thousand men."

Fang Xuanling rode at full speed all the way and received the Turkic envoy on the road.

Half an hour later, accompanied by Fang Xuanling, Helmu strode into the Taiji Hall with a copper flag in his hand.

The ministers in the hall had already stood in two rows, staring closely at this foreigner.

Except for Hou Junji, almost no one here had seen Hermu. When they saw his dark brown eyes, they remembered that he was a Sogdian who had drifted to the grasslands. By chance, he became the right-hand man of the Right Wise King.

He made great contributions to the rise of Right Wise King.

Under the attention of everyone, Heermu strode to the front of the hall, put his right hand on his chest and bowed: "Greetings to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Well.
When he looked up, he found that there were two people sitting on the steps, one old and one young, both wearing dragon robes and sitting on the dragon throne.

Hermu was extremely surprised and confused about the situation for a moment.

Fang Xuanling had just come here and had communicated with the other party. He found that the other party was not as rude and arrogant as the other Turks. Instead, he was very knowledgeable, eloquent, and elegant, not inferior to the literati in the Central Plains.

So he stepped forward and introduced: "Big Danghu, the one in front of you is the Emperor and the Retired Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Great Emperor?"

Heermu was stunned, then suddenly startled, blurted out: "Li Shimin? You are not..."

"Hahaha," Li Shimin laughed heartily upon seeing this. "Heermu, your Right Wise King probably thought I was gone, but you didn't know that I had been waiting for him for a whole year. I didn't expect him to come at this time. You really disappoint me, don't you?"

Li Yan's mission to Hermu was to make the Tang Dynasty surrender, intending to use courtesy first and then force.

However, he did not tell Hermu the truth in order to create such a strong contrast and make the Turks think that Li Shimin had set a huge trap for the Turks by faking his death.

Because Li Yan's previous march to the south was based on the assumption that Li Shimin had passed away, everyone thought that the Heavenly Khan was no longer there.

Their sudden appearance now would naturally surprise the Turks.

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. If Tian Khan were still alive, then the one-year hiding, the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, even the abandonment of the nobles, and various internal troubles might have been a carefully planned trap to lure them into.

The development of things was correct. Li Shimin's sudden appearance instantly disrupted Hermu's plan and made him a little at a loss.

If we have fallen into a trap carefully prepared by the other party, it would be a huge joke to order them to surrender at this time.

"Hmph, in the tenth year of Zhenguan, I met with the Right Wise King in Fengzhou and made an agreement that our two countries would be in good terms and not invade each other."

Li Shimin saw that the other party was dumbfounded, and without pausing, he asked sternly: "I never thought that I had been ill for only a year, and the Right Wise King tore up his promise and brazenly went south to invade our Tang Dynasty."

"But he never dreamed that nothing happened to me."

"I have waited for this day for a whole year. The Tang Dynasty has prepared three million soldiers and horses in Chang'an, Hedong and Hexi, and set up ambushes on all sides. Under the city of Chang'an is the grave of your 800,000 Turks."

These words were passionate and powerful, and excited the courtiers in the palace: "Yes, since they are here, let's fight. It is still unknown who will win."

"Humph, our Tang army from Hexi and Hedong has already surrounded you from behind. It's easy for you to come here, but it will be extremely difficult for you to go back."

Heermu had limited information, and seeing that the officials of the Tang Dynasty were full of confidence, and with Li Shimin, the Heavenly Khan, in charge, he was a little unsure for a while. He knew the deterrent power of Li Shimin in the hearts of the people of the world, and even the Right Wise King was wary of him.

But he was not a reckless man. He quickly came up with a plan while thinking frantically. His expression relaxed and he changed his tone: "Tian Khan has misunderstood. My Turkic people and the Tang Dynasty are friendly countries. We have been getting along with Mu for more than ten years and have long been brothers."

"The Right Wise Prince led his troops south purely because he heard that a Tang prince in Luoyang was planning a rebellion in alliance with the grassland rebels."

"Tian Khan should know that Shiluodi rebelled against the grasslands and is now causing trouble for the Tang Dynasty. If there is chaos in the Tang Dynasty, it will inevitably affect the interests of our Turks and the exchanges between the two families. The Right Wise King took into consideration the friendly relationship between our two families, so he went south to help the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion."

As soon as these words fell, Fang Xuanling felt relieved, and Xiao Yu, Cen Wenben, Zhang Xuansu and other officials in the palace also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, at least the other party was frightened and prevented from declaring war.

Although they also knew that this matter could not stand up to scrutiny.

It was simply that the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Khan caught the other party off guard, and the other party was very likely to have changed his words temporarily and found such a fig leaf. However, at this point, it was good that they didn't tear each other apart.

Let’s deal with this first, and then we can talk slowly!
Politics is like this. Even if both sides have knives on their backs and want to fight to the death, they still have to try their best to mediate. A peaceful solution is the best. After all, the Turks are strong and strong, with thick skin and flesh, and they can withstand beatings. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, which is delicate and can't withstand torments.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, loosened his clenched fist in his sleeves, and then continued with a stern face, "Humph, the internal affairs of my Tang Dynasty cannot be interfered with by others. Since your Right Wise King is here, then don't leave. I will not pursue your crime because you are a civil official and you know etiquette well."

"Go back now and inform the Right Wise King that tomorrow, under the city of Chang'an, you and I will fight it out. The winner lives and the loser dies. Either I or him, or I or him."

"The Emperor is angry."

Fang Xuanling stepped forward at the right time and said: "Although our Tang Dynasty has many soldiers and generals, and has the advantage of time, place and people, and is not afraid of the Turks, war is dangerous. Once the war starts, the beautiful Chang'an City and the beautiful rivers and mountains will inevitably be destroyed by the flames of war."

"Countless people from the Central Plains and grasslands were dragged into this war, and their lives were devastated. Everyone had to endure huge trauma from the war."

"I hope the Emperor will consider the hard-won peace between the two families and maintain peace!"

Fang Xuanling then quickly winked at the ministers. Xiao Yu, Cen Wenben and other ministers also reacted and hurried forward to plead, "Yes, Your Majesty, if a war breaks out, I don't know how many people will be implicated and how many people will be destroyed."

"The Turks also have families. Please, Your Majesty, let them go for the sake of their ignorance!"

"That's right. Both families are brothers. Why can't we sit down and talk it out?"
