The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

The Turkic Khan has lived in Chang'an City for about ten days. During these ten days, Khan only saw Xu Lishan once, which was the one time when he first arrived. Requests for meeting will be rejected on the grounds that "Your Majesty has urgent business to deal with", and in order to show that His Majesty Tang has not forgotten this Khan, officials from the Ministry of Rites take Khan around Chang'an City every day. After the one-day tour, there is a five-day tour outside the city.

If it had been in the past, this Khan would have accepted Xu Lishan's kindness and enjoyed the beauty of Chang'an City to his heart's content. However, the news of the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and Huihe continued to spread to his ears. No matter how beautiful the scenery of Chang'an City was, Khan was not in the mood to appreciate it anymore. .

In the imperial study room of Liangyi Hall, Pei Ze was discussing with Xu Lishan about forming an alliance with Huihe, while Xiao Yanzhi sat on the other side of the imperial study room and played chess with himself.

After discussing one matter with Pei Ze, Xu Lishan looked up and saw Xiao Yan holding tea and chess pieces, very at ease.

"I said, Brother Huang, is there no chess for you to play in Prince Wucheng's mansion? Or is there no tea for you to drink? If you don't help me, why do you still come to the Imperial Study?"

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head when he heard the words, and said with an innocent face: "Don't blame me for this matter, I don't want to come to the Imperial Study Room early in the morning to entertain myself, it's not because you Brother Pei doesn't want to come alone , I must accompany him."

When he said this, Xiao Yanzhi gave Pei Ze a blank look.

Pei Ze pretended not to know anything, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Xu Lishan helped his forehead: "Then since you are here, can't you help me?"

Xiao Yanzhi said bluntly: "It's just some daily government affairs. Don't you handle them well? How can I help?"

"What's wrong with the daily government affairs? Daily government affairs are also very important! Can't you help me?" Xu Lishan glared at Xiao Yanzhi bitterly.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled evilly, and said: "The grassroots are just ordinary people, and they dare not interfere in the state affairs."

"What kind of a commoner is Mrs. Wu Cheng?" This Xiao Yanzhi still has so many fallacies!

Xiao Yanzhi blinked and said with a smile: "Then the harem and the inner court are not allowed to interfere in politics?"

"... Get out!" Xu Lishan's veins twitched violently.

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi put down the chess pieces and tea bowl, and said to Pei Ze: "Husband, Your Majesty told me to get out, or should I get out now?"

Looking helplessly at Xiao Yanzhi, Pei Zewen said softly, "Don't bully him too much."

"I didn't bully him." Xiao Yanzhi got off the couch, walked unhurriedly to the imperial case, and gave Pei Ze a wink. The imperial physician prescribed some decoction to relieve the fire."

Xu Lishan gritted his teeth and stared at Xiao Yanzhi.

Pei Ze smiled and pulled Xiao Yanzhi in front of him: "I know he is angry, but you still want to make him angry. What are you going to do with Turkic Khan?"

"What should I do? Tell him to wait." Xiao Yanzhi snorted coldly, "When I went to Turkic before, I was able to handle him, how much time wasted? Time is money, how much does he owe me! Do you think the Turkic people are afraid that they will fail if they grow stronger? Starve them for a winter and see if they can grow stronger!"

If you can't even achieve self-sufficiency in food, what are you talking about?This Turk has been Ansheng for too long, and those few Jinjin almost don't know what their surname is, so they need to clean up!

Xu Lishan pursed his lips and said, "You have starved them all winter, so don't you have to send food to them next year?"

"What to give?" Xiao Yanzhi stared and said, "Hungry them all winter, and when spring comes, we will share the Turkic land with the Huihe people. It's useless to leave it to them anyway. Even if it was enough in previous years They have harassed the border for their winter food, and since they can’t get enough to feed them, then they won’t feed them.”

Xu Lishan was stunned: "You really have such a humble and gentlemanly face for nothing, you are so cruel. But you are right, the reason why the father kept them back then was because he didn't have the strength to deal with them after the war. There is really no need to keep those white-eyed wolves anymore."

Pei Ze also agreed: "It's not a bad idea to exercise your muscles and bones during the spring of the coming year. But this year's winter food should still be given to them, so we can't make them feel wary."

Saving them for slaughter in the coming year was originally a way to save effort, but the thin camels are bigger than horses. If the Turkic people who are brave and good at fighting are prepared in advance, then the next year's battle will not be easy. For now Still want to appease people.

Xu Lishan nodded, and said, "Then let's plan slowly. Although the small countries around the world have not moved much these years, they must be estimating the current strength of me and Tang. Wake up, let them remember that King Wu Cheng of the Tang Kingdom is still there, even if it is a piece of useless wasteland, they are not allowed to take it away!"

As if calculating the time specially, Xu Lishan had just finished discussing this matter with Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze, and Ying An moved to Xu Lishan's side.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Turkic Mission is seeking to see you."

"Why are you asking to see me again?" Without waiting for Xu Lishan to reply, Xiao Yanzhi opened his mouth, "Have you finished shopping around Chang'an City? Then take him to Jiangnan to have a look."

Pei Ze shook his head and laughed, and pinched Xiao Yanzhi's waist: "Don't waste money."

The countermeasures have been discussed, why spend their treasury money to take that old man around?

Xiao Yanzhi avoided it with a smile, turned around and left Pei Ze's embrace, and went back to the couch to play chess and drink tea.

As soon as he saw Xiao Yanzhi's leisurely appearance, Xu Lishan became angry and asked Ying'an to put up a screen to block Xiao Yanzhi, and then asked someone to bring Khan to see him.

Finally able to see Xu Lishan, Khan happily led Batu and Paleken to the imperial study room, but as soon as he entered the imperial study room, he noticed the disharmonious embroidered screen. Hiding a person.

I don't know who is sitting behind the screen, but Khan and his party always look at the screen, as if they can clearly see the person behind the screen just by looking twice.

Seeing this, Xu Lishan explained with a smile: "According to the rules of my Tang Dynasty, it is not suitable for the family members to see foreigners. Please forgive me Khan."

Hearing this, Pei Ze lowered his head, covered his mouth to hold back his laughter, and Xiao Yanzhi on the other side of the screen didn't expect Xu Lishan to fight back like this, and spouted out a sip of tea, which wet half of the screen.

Xu Lishan smiled triumphantly, and even spoke softly to Khan: "Khan and the two of you, please sit down."

The conversation this time went very smoothly. It took Xu Lishan only half an hour to talk to make Old Khan smile. Batu also looked as satisfied as he should have been. Only Paleken had lingering fears, but in front of Xu Lishan and Pei Ze He couldn't raise any doubts, and in the end he had to go back to Turkic with the old Khan and Batu. Xu Lishan had no intention of meeting with him alone, and his study journey could only end here.

At the end of the autumn of this year, the old Khan, who had lost his wife and lost his army, returned to the tooth tent, called a thousand jin into the tent, and cursed.

At the end of autumn of this year, the Tang State and Huihe formally signed an alliance agreement, promising to help each other for ten years. The old Khan felt uneasy, and wrote a letter to Xu Lishan, asking for a marriage, but Xu Lishan vaguely perfunctory.

At the end of autumn of this year, Tang Guojian built three temporary granaries between Ganzhou and Youyun.

In the winter of this year, Tang Guoyan's family's caravans frequently traveled to the north regardless of the severe cold, and all the caravans were filled with grain, grass and armor.

From winter to spring, King Wucheng of the Tang State suddenly appeared in Yunzhou, and a letter of war was quickly sent to the Turkic Yazhang, claiming that the Turks violated the covenant without authorization and frequently invaded the towns in the northern border of the Tang State, causing serious damage. The Tang State tolerated it repeatedly, but did not It is hoped that the Turks will repent, and they will surely attack these treacherous people.

After the Turkic Khan hurriedly replied a letter declaring that he didn't know anything about it, Pei Ze took all the Turkic bandits captured and imprisoned last fall to the border. Naturally, many of the bandits were Turkic soldiers. Pretend, so-called perfidy, well-documented.

At the same time, Huihe also issued a war letter to the Turks, claiming that they could not bear the brutal oppression of the Turks and wanted to rise up to resist.

For good reason, Pei Ze didn't care whether the Turkic Khan wanted to fight or not, so he sent his troops to the north to cooperate with the Huihe army going south.

At this time, the Turks were still immersed in the fatigue just after the severe winter, and were attacked from both sides. The tooth tent was breached in only half a month. The old Khan died in battle, and the rest had to flee westward.

Pei Ze led the Tang and Huihe armies, took advantage of the victory and pursued them, smashed the Turks to pieces, drove them all to the wild west, and returned to the court with satisfaction.

In this battle, the prestige of King Wucheng of the Tang Dynasty revived, and the sound shook the world.

This year, the Tang Emperor's birthday banquet was very lively, and congratulations came from all over the world.

This year, King Wu Cheng and his husband were not present at the Tang Emperor's birthday banquet. I heard that these two people left government affairs behind and traveled all over the world...

The Emperor of Tang State said: My life is so miserable!
