Chapter 31: Mission to the Turks

In the 13th year of Kaihuang, Yang Qin, a refugee in the Sui Dynasty, went into exile to the Khan of Dulan, lied that Duke Peng Guoli Liu Chang and the Yuwen daughter conspired to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, and specially sent him to secretly report to Princess Dayi.

Princess Dayi was the daughter of King Zhao of Northern Zhou, and was originally named "Princess Qianjin", and was the wife of Saberluo Khan of the Eastern Turkic.

She once incited Shaberluo Khan to rebel against Sui, but in the end she failed. In order to protect herself, she changed the surname Yuwen to Yang and was named Princess of the Great Sui. This is the origin of the title "Princess Dayi".

After the death of Saberio Khan, according to the Turkic tradition, Princess Dayi married Dulan Khan who succeeded to the throne, and was still favored by Dulan Khan.

I heard that some people wanted to rebel against Sui, but Princess Dayi wanted to restore the country again. She immediately incited Du Lan Khan to test the Great Sui and refused to pay tribute to the Great Sui.

However, Princess Dayi's plan was destroyed by the envoy of the Sui Dynasty, Changsun Sheng (shèng), who took the refugee Yang Qin and Princess Dayi's confidant An Suijia back to the Sui Dynasty to wait for trial.

However, Princess Dayi, the mastermind who rebelled against Sui for the second time, was unaware of his death. Yang Jian was uneasy, so he arranged for Changsun Sheng to go on a mission to the Turks again, hoping that Du Lan Khan would kill Princess Dayi.

At this moment, Chu Mu, who was wearing a vest, took the opportunity to request an envoy to the Turks and travel with Changsun Sheng.

"Mr. Pei."

"Sir Changsun."

Outside the Daxing Palace, the two people who had just finished the court bowed and looked at each other with deep meaning.

As Yang Jian’s confidant, Pei Ju naturally could not stay away for a long time and would not meet Yang Jian. Therefore, when Shi Zhixuan appeared, another person was always in the court instead of him.

In order to change his identity when needed, Shi Zhixuan naturally made corresponding arrangements, such as asking his substitute to record the call between Pei Ju and Yang Jian, as well as daily communication with others.

Thanks to this, Chu Mu took over Pei Ju's identity very smoothly, and Shi Zhixuan's unfathomable style also made those under his command not suspicious.

After replacing Pei Ju's identity, Chu Mu began to be active in the court. After more than a year of adaptation, he had fully accepted all the arrangements left by Shi Zhixuan.

"This time I will be on the Turkic mission to the Turks, I will have to rely on Lord Changsun to take care of him." Chu Mu said with a smile.

"Where is it, Changsun Sheng also needs to ask Lord Pei to help him." Changsun Sheng also smiled so hard that he only had two cracks left.

When the two of them smiled, they were all in harmony. As for what was hidden under their smiles, only they knew.

Here I will first talk about the identities of the two at this time.

Pei Ju is an important official of the Sui Dynasty, but his identity is secretly the evil king of the Demon Sect, and the eight masters of the Demon Sect rank second.

Changsun Sheng, since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, has been an envoy responsible for negotiating with the Turks. He was among the people who sent Princess Dayi to marry him. Changsun Sheng also had the figure of the Turks split into East and West Turks.

He has an apprentice who will be the leader of the Demonic Sect in the future, ranked third among the eight masters, and will be the national master of the Eastern Turks.

He had a son and a daughter, and his son Changsun Wuji was the Taiwei of the future reign of Emperor Taizong of Li Tang; his daughter Changsun Wugui was the queen of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin.

With luxurious family background, far-sighted arrangements, and far-reaching plans, even Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan are not sure that they can match this person.

Both of them were kind and said that they were going to the palace while leaving the palace. When they arrived outside the palace gate, Chu Mu smiled and said, "Sir, see you again."

"Mr. Pei, say goodbye."

Changsun Sheng got into a sedan chair, while Chu Mu entered the carriage that was parked next to him.

The carriage was not spacious, and after entering one person, he could only barely sit down two more. Therefore, after Chu Mu entered the carriage, a faint fragrance blew over his face, and his soft body leaned directly on him.

"The Buddhist sect has received support from the court and made a comeback. My Holy Sect is not a fool. Now it seems that there are people from my Holy Sect everywhere in Yang Jian's court." Zhu Yuyan attached to Chu Mu's ears, breathing like an orchid.

Since Chu Mu showed his strength more than a year ago and cooperated with Zhu Yuyan with force and interests, this queen seemed to have returned to the time she fell in love many years ago, teasing Chu Mu every day and doing a good job of being intimate.

Although this kind of intimacy that is fake after careful consideration is just a good idea, Chu Mu is still very helpful.

At least it is more in line with Chu Mu's wishes than Cihang Jingzhai, which wants to use you but does not give you meat. Although what you can't get is always in agitation, Chu Mu obviously does not have this habit of being humble.

If you wish Yuyan to let go of her grudges and act, it means that she is willing to cooperate with Chu Mu.

Chu Mu took one of Zhu Yuyan's small hands and played with it carefully, saying, "There are me and Changsun Sheng in the court, and there are people from your Yingui Sect in the palace. It seems that smart people always have the same understanding."

If you want your own sect to become mainstream, the support of the court is inseparable.

It is precisely because of Yang Jian’s help that Buddhism was able to escape from the severe damage of the vitality after Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed the Buddha and rise rapidly. For example, the Jingnian Zen Temple in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, there are now hundreds of buildings alone, just like a small city.

Zhu Yuyan, Shi Zhixuan, and Changsun Sheng all saw this, so they all had some business in the court.

Shi Zhixuan and Changsun Sheng both entered the court as officials, and they were in a state of chaos and rain. Zhu Yuyan followed the old tradition of the Yingui School and stuffed people into the deep palace.

Because Empress Dugu of the dynasty was jealous and Yang Jian had very few concubines, the Yingui sect tried his best to the palace maids and eunuchs to weave a dark web in the palace.

The point is that the focus of these three parties is still different. Although I have always felt that there are shadows of others in the court, I have never found the other two parties.

It was not until Chu Mu appeared that the arrangements of the three parties were revealed.

"But Changsun Sheng's real goal now is not the Great Sui Dynasty, but the Turks outside the Central Plains. He has been in charge for many years and wants to use the power of the Turks to accomplish things at a critical moment." Chu Mu said in a deep voice.

Many years later, Changsun Sheng's son-in-law, who was famous in history, used the Turkic invasion as a reason to deceive the two fools and sent half of the country to conquer. If there was no shadow of the Demonic Sect, it would be impossible to believe that Chu Mu would be killed.

"So you plan to lend a chance to stay Changsun Sheng on the grassland?" Zhu Yuyan asked.

"Not only that, I also want to add fire to the Turks and break the backbone of the Turks." Chu Mu said heavily.

While speaking, Chu Mu's palm subconsciously increased the strength, causing Zhu Yuyan to lower her head slightly, and a trace of light flashed in her eyes.

······················

Ten days later, the Great Sui delegation set out, with Changsun Sheng as the main envoy and Chu Mu as the deputy envoy. The delegation had a total of more than 3,000 people, 300 heavy cavalry, 500 light cavalry, 900 infantry, 100 scouts, and there were also private soldiers from the Changsun family and Pei family. If two bigwigs in the delegation were pretending to be scholars, they could fight a small battle.

Because Yang Jian couldn't wait to let Princess Dayi die, and before this trip, Lan Khan was still thinking of rebelling against Sui Dynasty, this time he did not bring any supplies to reward him, but tried to speed up the itinerary and arrive at the grassland as soon as possible.

But even so, the delegation took more than a month to leave the country and enter the endless grassland.

"Mr. Pei."

Changsun Sheng opened the door of the carriage window, looked at the green around him, and asked Chu Mu: "We are on an envoy on this trip to kill Princess Dayi. I wonder what Master Pei has to make Du Lan Khan kill his beloved wife?"

"Didn't Lord Changsun have made a decision before?" Chu Mu smiled, "The Tuli Khan of the Grassland asked His Majesty for marriage before. We can use Tuli Khan to persuade Du Lan to kill Princess Dayi. In this way, we can complete the task smoothly, and second, we can leave behind the inconsistency between Tuli and Du Lan afterwards. Isn't this a good move?"

When Changsun Sheng heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Pei is worthy of being a close minister around His Majesty. This move is really impossible to hide from you. Yes, Your Majesty has already made an order to help Tuli help us kill Princess Dayi on the grounds of marriage, and in the future he can still use this to alienate the brothers Dulan and Tuli. However.........."

Changsun Sheng suddenly turned low and said, "If this move is to be successful, it cannot be avoided by a key figure."

"who?"

"Bi Xuan, the largest general of the Eastern Turks and one of the three great masters in the world - "Wu Zun"."

"Bi Xuan," Chu Mu said seriously, "I heard that this person can tie with 'sanren' Ning Daoqi, it is unknown whether it is true or false."

"It's true," Changsun Sheng replied, "This person can be said to be a word on the grassland. Although he is a general of the Eastern Turks, even the Datou Khan of the Western Turks dare not violate this person at all. Bi Xuan's words are worth hundreds of words. If Bi Xuan opposes the killing of Princess Dayi, then it is impossible for Du Lan to kill himself."

The situation on the grassland can be described in one sentence, that is, "Bi Xuan is beaten by iron, and Khan is flowing water."

There can be countless Khans, but there is only one Wu Zun. Bi Xuan is the Turkic white jade pillar that raises the sky and builds the sea purple gold beam.

On the grassland, Bi Xuan can almost be said to be a living totem and is respected by all Turks.

"If this is the case, how to convince Bi Xuan is a difficult problem." Chu Mu sighed when he heard this.

As he was speaking, a rumbling sound of horse hooves suddenly erupted, and a fierce evil aura came from the front, causing the horses in the group to neigh and chaos suddenly arose.

Chu Mu and Changsun Sheng walked out of the carriage together, stood at the front of the carriage and looked at it. They saw a huge wave coming at the end of the sight. It was so powerful that it had arrived before the mission soon.

"The Venerable has ordered the delegation of the Sui Kingdom to go and meet."

The leader pulled the reins suddenly, and the war horse stood up high. With the neighing sound, his shouts kept echoing in the air under the influence of true energy.

"This person is Bi Xuan's younger brother, Dunyugu." Changsun Sheng looked at this person from afar and whispered to Chu Mu.

"It turns out that I can't get around Bi Xuan." Chu Mu replied.
