"Your Majesty Pei Ji paid homage to Bixiang Palace. Li Yuan's face was very old. His heart was swollen and his eyes were drooping, but he was much older. At this time, Pei Ji was probably the only one who came to the harem to see him. A smile appeared on Li Yuan's face.

"Prisoner Pei, please sit down." Li Yuan said with a slight smile: "At this time, I am afraid that only Supervisor Pei will come to see the couplet. How is the situation outside? Did Thief Lu do anything strange?" Li Yuan was trapped in the harem.

, although the supplies and other things were in accordance with the previous regulations, the freedom of life was controlled, and he could not go to the front hall at all. He did not know the important events in the court, and no one came to tell him. This was a big blow to his power.

For a very powerful emperor, it was simply more painful than death. So when he saw Pei Ji coming, he quickly asked.

"I am incompetent. The envoy I sent to the Turks was discovered by Thief Lu. I was locked up in the house for more than ten days and was only released today." Pei Ji suddenly felt sad when he thought of the ridicule of Wei Ting and others just now.

From the bottom of my heart, I couldn't help crying.

"What, he discovered it? Did he know it was Lian's idea?" Li Yuan asked anxiously. Zhang Jieshu on the side also showed a trace of nervousness on his face.

"Probably not." Pei Ji's heart moved. He quickly shook his head and said, "How could Lu Zhaoci know this? I can guarantee with my life that I will never know." The words fell silent, but he heard Li Yuan sigh softly, as if

It was as if he breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, his face changed slightly, and there was a hint of sadness in his heart. Ran Nai was Li Yuan's important minister and had always been trusted by Li Yuan. At this time, Li Yuan could not help but make himself a

When the scapegoat comes, my heart becomes even more desolate.

"I heard that Lu Thief has ordered Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong to go north to Huangguan and let him be the leader of the Eastern Campaign. Pei Ji said cautiously: "At the same time, Changsun Wuji has inherited his father's official position and is on an envoy to Dingxiang.

I'm afraid it's for the sake of marriage." "This filial piety! Lu Zhao said goodbye. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the south of the Yangtze River fell into the hands of the Lu thieves again, and even the soldiers and horses at Huangguan did not fight for our Tang Dynasty.

Everything." Li Yuan is so powerful. He saw Lu Zhaoci's plan at a glance. His expression suddenly changed drastically, and he collapsed on the short couch. His expression became even worse. If Zhang Jieshu hadn't supported him, Li Yuan would have been killed.

Just lie down on the low couch.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." Pei Ji said quickly: "Lu Zhaoci also sent Xiao Yu as the chief examiner. In this text, Kong Yingda is the deputy examiner and will be responsible for the imperial examination in August. I want this Lu Zhaoci to prepare for his kindness and kindness.

All the scholars in the world can prepare for him to usurp the throne."

"Imperial examination?" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed: "Why did Lian listen to his words in the first place? He set up an imperial examination. It was a small thing and this thief took advantage."

"I am more worried about Changsun Wuji.

At that time, eldest Sun Wei had an old relationship with Chuluo Khan. Could it be that once eldest Sun Wuji leaves, His Majesty's plan may not be realized?" Pei Ji said cautiously.

Contrary, Supervisor Pei, these Turks are not as simple as you think." Li Yuan sneered and said: "Lian had dealt with the Turks back then. All the rare treasures in Jinyang Palace were given to the Turks.

The Turks will not attack us from behind. The Turks will not see the Central Plains being unified. This time Lian Lian speaks in person. He will definitely take this opportunity to interfere in the process of unification of the Central Plains. Even if Changsun Wei associates with him

It's very profound, and I'm afraid it won't change this fact. As long as he raises his troops and goes south, Lu Zhaoci will have to raise a large army to meet the enemy. No matter what other methods he uses, it will be useless. He will be criticized by others." Pei Ji heard this but

He remained silent because Li Yuan had lost confidence. It was no longer Li Yuan's turn to make the decision.

When the monarch and his ministers were discussing Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji led a team of dozens of people to walk on the official road to Dingxiang. Dingxiang is outside Yanmen. Dingxiang is surrounded by mountains on three sides and surrounded by four rivers.

Guanfeng is indeed a fertile land, but at this moment, it is where the royal palace of the Turks is located, and the person who lives here is the third monarch of the Eastern Turks. Chuluo Khan, whose original name was Ashina Qilifushu, is

The younger brother of Shibi Khan. His original tooth tent was not here, but later he welcomed the former Sui Empress Xiao. He also established Zhengdao, the son of the former Sui and Qi Wang Lai, and canonized him as the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, his tooth tent is also here.

Landed in Dingxiang.

When Changsun Wuji's men arrived outside Dingxiang, they had long been discovered by Chuluo Khan's men. Hundreds of cavalry swarmed up and surrounded Changsun Wuji and others. The scimitars in their hands shone with cold light. They were dead.

Staring at Changsun Wuji, it was obvious that as long as Changsun Wuji gave an inappropriate answer, he would kill the opponent on the spot.

"The envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji, paid homage to Chuluo Khan." Changsun Wuji faced Han Dao with no fear on his face, and shouted loudly while holding the Ji Ji in his hand.

"Changsun Wuji?" The leading Turkic general showed a look of surprise on his face, and asked: "I wonder how your envoy and the Shenjian General Changsun Kun are called?"

"It's my late father." Changsun Wuji was shocked. He didn't expect his father to have such a great reputation in the Turks. More than ten years have passed. There are still people on the grassland who remember his father's reputation.

"It turns out it's after General Shenjian. I think the Great Khan must be happy to know that your envoy is coming. Your envoy will wait for now until the last general goes to report to the Great Khan." General Tuding looked respectful and ordered people to protect Changsun Wuji and others.

The man, on the other hand, rode his horse and galloped towards the city.

"Sir, I didn't expect that these Turks are not all barbarians." A young guard said with joy.

"That is my father's," Changsun Wuji said lightly. "Turks will not let things go wrong." We still don't know whether we can complete the mission of His Highness the King of Han this time. We still don't know.

It's better to be careful

At this time, suddenly the sound of cannons rumbled, and the city gate was opened wide. A group of Turkic cavalry slowly came over. The leader was a middle-aged man. His face was heroic and his eyes were shining. He was obviously not a simple man. Look at his dress.

, apparently a high-ranking Turkic figure.

Changsun Wuji frowned when he saw this.

"Sir, this person is the younger brother of Chuluo Khan. I heard that Chuluo Khan is unwell, and it is possible that this person will inherit the position of Khan of the East Turks in the future." An unspectacular soldier on the side is the eldest grandson.

Wuji said cautiously in his ear.

Changsun Wuji nodded after hearing this. He knew that the pawn beside him was part of Lu Zhaoci's Jinyiwei, who specialized in spying on intelligence. But he didn't expect that Lu Zhaoci's Jinyiwei had developed to such an extent that they had penetrated deep into the grassland.

No wonder that during the Xuanwumen Incident, he knew everything about the actions of the Prince of Qin.

"Is this the eldest grandson?" Lingli looked at the eldest grandson and laughed loudly.

"Foreign Minister Changsun Wuji has met Prince Lingli." Although Changsun Wuji was facing the Turkic army, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he raised his hand to Prince Lingli.

"Well, that's right. There really is a legacy of General Shenjian." Lingli jumped off his horse and strode towards Changsun Wuji.

"Wuji is incompetent, I am ashamed of my late father." Seeing this, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to jump off his horse and go up to him.

"Haha, I'm just a little weak." Guli patted Changsun Wuji's slightly fat body and said with a smile: "Your father is different from you. He is a master. I just don't know how good your archery skills are?"

"Wuji is ashamed. Sun Wuji, who is not good at archery, had a hint of embarrassment on his face and said honestly: "Wuji lost his father when he was young. He has lived in his uncle's house since he was a child. He is only literate. However, my lord, His Highness the King of Han,

There are quite a few fierce generals under his command. If the prince likes archery and has the opportunity to be a guest in Chang'an City in the future, Wuji will definitely ask His Highness the King of Han to perform for His Highness the Prince."

"Oh, His Royal Highness the King of Han also has the same character as the former General Shenjian?" Prince Lingli showed a trace of disbelief on his face. He and Chuluo Khan had seen Chang Sun Chen kill two birds with one stone before, so Xuanyi heard that there was someone in the Central Plains who could kill two birds with one stone.

Killing two birds with one stone. I was very surprised.

"That's natural. Changsun Wuji said with a little complacency: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is extremely powerful. His namesake Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and so on are all famous generals. General Li Jing is even more of a military genius.

With his strength, ten thousand troops and horses were able to pacify the south of the Yangtze River. At this moment, he commanded an army of three hundred thousand to the east of the river to guard the capital. General Xu Shiji commanded an army of one hundred thousand to guard Huangguan. The fierce general Lu Zhaoying was the brother of the King of Han and was extremely powerful. The general commanded two hundred thousand

The army is stationed in Taiyuan. These people are all masters of divine arrows." After hearing this, Prince Gu Li's expression changed, and he looked at Changsun Wuji with a strange look in his eyes. The faces of the surrounding Turkic generals changed drastically.

I didn't expect that the generals of the Tang Dynasty were so powerful.

"Haha, the Tang Dynasty is really full of talents!" Prince Lingli suddenly burst into laughter and said: "Lang Changsun, please. The Great Khan has long wanted to meet Changsun Lang. He and your father were good friends back then!"

"When the foreign minister was young, I heard my father mention it." Changsun Wuji also showed a smile on his face, got on the horse with Lingli, and walked directly towards the tooth tent in the city.

Although Chuluo Khan occupied Dingxiang City, he did not change his true character as a Turk. He set up a tooth tent in the center of the city to order the Turkic tribes. The tooth tent was resplendent with gold and green, and the totem of the silver wolf was hung in front of the tooth tent. When Changsun Wuji arrived at the tooth tent,

When they were at the tent, they saw Ye Hu, Telqin, Yijin Qulichu, Yan Hongda, Lingqilifa, Tutun, Qijin and many other Turkic ministers standing at the entrance of the tent to welcome the arrival of Changsun Wuji, with great momentum.

It is extremely large, enough to express the love and care that Khan had for the son of his former friend.

"The Great Khan is ill, otherwise the Great Khan would have welcomed him in person." Prince Lingli explained at the side. "The foreign ministers really did not dare to trouble the Great Khan to personally greet Changsun Wuji. Not only did his face not show the slightest joy when he saw this,

, but his face became more solemn.

"I have met the envoy of the Tang Dynasty." All the senior Turkic officials saluted.

"The foreign minister has met your lords." Changsun Wuji certainly knew that this gift was not for him, Changsun Wuji, or even for Datang, but for his dead father.

"The Great Khan has invited you." Prince Fanli led the eldest son Wuji to the tent. The eldest son Wuji did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly waited for his orders to bring some of the rare treasures prepared by Lu Zhaoci into the tent.

Inside.

"Foreign minister Changsun Wuji, by order of the Emperor of Tang, has an audience with His Majesty the Great Turkic Khan." Changsun Wuji entered the tent, held a staff in his hand, and bowed to Chuluo Khan according to the envoy's rules.

"Chang Sunlang, get up." It took a long time before I heard a weak voice coming from above.

sound.

Changsun Wuji looked over and saw a tall, middle-aged man sitting not far away. His face was pale, but from his huge body, you could feel the power of the past. He was the third leader of the Eastern Turks.

The king of Ren is Chuluo Khan. Beside him, two women sit on the left and right. They are dignified in appearance and wearing brocade clothes. They are all dressed like people from the Central Plains. The one on the left is the Yan family of the Turkic Khan.

The former Princess Yicheng of the Sui Dynasty was originally the wife of Shibi Khan. Shibi Khan gave up and was succeeded by Luo Khan. She naturally became the wife of Wailuo Khan. Changsun Wuji was even more surprised when she skated on the right.

The person is the Xiao family after the former Emperor Chang of the Sui Dynasty. Because he was born as beautiful as a flower, but because of this, he was tortured. After the death of Emperor Chang of the Sui Dynasty, he was humiliated by Yu Wenhuaji, and then fell into the realm of Huan Jiande.

Dou Jiande then sent her to Chuluo Khan. After going back and forth, one can imagine the bitterness involved.

"Lang Changsun, you no longer have the demeanor of your father." Chuluo Khan looked at the fat Changsun Wuji, with a smile on his pale face. He pointed at Changsun Wuji and said: "If it weren't for your father,

How can I do this, the Great Khan of the Turks?" At that time, Chuluo Khan was very prestigious in the clan, so he was very suspicious of Shabolue Khan, so he formed an alliance with his grandson and joined the Sui Dynasty. In this way, he

Sabolo Khan and his uncles and nephews, Datou Khan, Apo Khan, and Tuli Chuluo Khan, finally won the victory and unified the grassland. When Chuluo Khan talked about it, he felt even more nostalgic about the past.

The days spent with the eldest grandson.

"My nephew is ashamed. His abilities are not even tenth of those of my late father." Changsun Wuji saw this and took the opportunity to change his title.

"The Central Plains is a great place! There is also the famous hot pot. Chu Luo Kenian, who I have recently fallen in love with, sighed and said: "I wonder if your princess from the Tang Dynasty can cook it?"

Changsun Wuji was about to speak when suddenly something moved in his heart and he quickly said: "Princess Tang's golden branches and jade leaves, she doesn't know how to make these things. If the Khan likes it, after the foreign minister returns to the dynasty, he will look for someone in the Tang Dynasty who can do it and let him

Come to the grassland to honor the Great Khan."

"Your princess of the Tang Dynasty can't do this. She can't do that. So what can she do? Can she serve men? Haha!" At this time, a rude voice suddenly laughed loudly, and other Turkic generals also laughed.

Laugh. There is a trace of contempt and a trace of sarcasm in the laughter.

"Our Princess of the Tang Dynasty will command the army. She worked with my wife, the Han Dynasty, to pacify Guanzhong and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty." Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh, he is so powerful, so I am very interested." Chuluo Khan's eyes flashed. He suddenly said: "Recently, a person claimed to be an envoy of the Tang Dynasty and came to our grassland. On behalf of your emperor
