1147. Dancing for me

Among the envoys of various countries, there is a particularly special status, sitting at the top, the status seems to be above the envoys of Gaochang, Tubo and other countries, this person is the Western Turkic envoy Ashina Duli, Ashina Lili is the younger brother of the current Western Turkic Khan Shiye Hu Khan.

The name of the Khan is Ashina Li, the son of the former Khan of the Western Turks, during the reign of the Emperor Yehu, he annexed Tiele, annexed Tocharo, and expanded the territory and was also the lord of the grassland, but he was given the shade by his uncle Mo Hedu, Mo Helu established himself as a khan after killing the Ye Hu, but the remnants of the Ye Hu people died, and the grassland tribes jointly elected the Western Turkic minister Ashina Ni to be the Khan, Ni He is also a loyal person, and refused to take the position, and welcomed the son of the Ye Hu, Ashina Li, as the Khan, that is, the Ye Hu. And then now it's the one who attacks each other with his uncle Mo Hedu, and the Western Turks have been in turmoil for several years.

So the situation on the grassland is really complicated, the east is fine, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Turks and established the Governor's Office, some of which are under the jurisdiction, and the Western Turks are beyond the reach of the whip, and it is a mess.

Ashina Duli came as the younger brother of the Western Turkic Khan, and the Western Turks are well-deserved steppe overlords, and his status is naturally very high.

Ashina was originally quite arrogant, and after learning that the Eastern Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, not many people felt sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, but they all jumped to their feet one by one and scolded Li, disgusted Lili and lost the face of their Turkic Ashina family.

After receiving the invitation of the Tang Dynasty, the Khan also sent his younger brother to watch the ceremony, so as to explore the strength of the Tang Dynasty, but now, Ashina Lishi was defeated miserably, and the two were in a war.

Ashina can be very sure that as long as Datang asks the hundreds of thousands of elites who have just paraded to help Mo Helu, it will be over. Thinking of this, Ashina cautiously looked at a diminutive Turk who was sitting down, who was the envoy of the Western Turkic Mohedu Khan.

seemed to feel Ashina's aggressive eyes, and the short messenger also looked back, his face was also not very good, but he looked at Ashina's aggressive contempt and pulled his mouth, and Ashina's aggressiveness suddenly clenched his fists angrily.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can I be considered a majestic soldier of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Shimin was well aware of the contradictions between the two Western Turkic khans, and Ashina's little trick was also seen by Li Shimin, and he immediately laughed heartily.

Hearing Li Shimin's boastful question, all the envoys complained in their hearts: Nima, aren't you talking nonsense, if this sergeant is not strong, where is there a strong army.

Although he complained in his heart, the envoys were not ambiguous.

"The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are brave and good at fighting, and the foreign ministers dare not look directly at ......."

"The Tang Dynasty is invincible, the sergeants are mighty and majestic, and the ministers are really eye-opening......."

"The Celestial Empire is as strong as this, and the ministers are honored ......."

…………

The envoys of various countries were racking their brains to compliment Li Shimin, and Li Shimin at this time also laughed and was very satisfied.

He turned his head to look at the Lili Khan, who was suffering great humiliation, and said with a smile with his back hand: "Duh, are you convinced?" ”

Lingli Khan's face changed for a while, his eyes flashed with humiliation, and his hands in his sleeve robe were clenched, and finally, under Li Shimin's forced gaze, Lili knew that his life was important, and he immediately leaned over and said: "The Tang Dynasty is strong, Your Majesty Shengming, Ben Khan is convinced." Saying this, Shun Li closed his eyes, he knew that after he said this, everything had already settled, the Eastern Turks, no longer existed, and he Ashina was aggressive, and he would also become a courtier of the Tang Dynasty from the supreme Turkic Great Khan.

Seeing this, Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed again, his face flushed with a straight smile, and pointed at Lingli, Li Shimin was a little out of shape, "In the past, at the beginning of my accession to the throne, what a beautiful scenery you were in Ashina, all the way south, until you hit the outside of my Chang'an City, at that time, how could you think that you also have today?" ”

Li's face also changed red and white, and he gritted his teeth and was silent.

Seeing that he was speechless, Li Shimin sat down with his clothes, stared at Li Li with great interest, and said: "On the occasion of this grand event, I celebrate with the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and I have heard for a long time that I can sing and dance, I don't know if I am willing to dance for me?" ”

Li Shimin's voice fell, and everyone was shocked.

This...... Your Majesty actually wants the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks to dance in front of everyone? This is a great humiliation for Li.

Some old ministers couldn't sit still, feeling that this move was inappropriate and ungraceful, but they didn't dare to dissuade Li Shimin when they saw Li Shimin's smile.

And a group of foreign envoys were also in an uproar, the Eastern Turks were giant khanates back then, these small countries were all looked up to, and now His Majesty the Tang Emperor actually wants to let the Turkic khans dance in public, which is simply too exciting. However, the envoys still have some faint expectations in their hearts, how rampant the profits of the year were, crisscrossing the grassland, holding hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, that is the supreme existence on the grassland, who can watch such an existence dance, if you are lucky enough to watch, it is really worth boasting about for a lifetime, and it is a fortunate thing to tell your grandson.

Li Li was also stunned when he heard this, his eyes were red, and he suddenly raised his head and straightened his body to stare at Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, there is a saying in the Central Plains, a soldier can be killed, but not ......humiliated."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Pojun, "A captive must have the consciousness of a captive, what kind of soldier are you, you are a grassland butcher, since the second year of Wude, how many times have you invaded my Tang border, how many subjects have you killed, how many property you have looted, and you have been killed, it is already the kindness of the Celestial Empire, and if you make more noise, I recognize you, and the sword in my hand cannot recognize you." Li Pojun held the sword at his waist in his hand, strode in front of Li, and shouted.

The voice was sonorous and shocking, and all the Tang Dynasty civil and military officers applauded when they heard it.

And the envoys of various countries are also very curious to look at this Tang prince, there are really too many questions in their hearts, although they also know that the prince of the Tang Dynasty is extraordinary, but they have never had an in-depth understanding, most of the envoys This is the first time to see Li Pojun.

Li Li's eyes were round, staring at Li Pojun, and Li Pojun did not retreat at all, at this time it was to completely suppress the arrogance of the Eastern Turks, only if Li Li bowed his head from now on, the Eastern Turks would live in peace.

After a few breaths, Li Li closed his eyes, his clenched fists couldn't help but tremble, and when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer struggling, only gray, bowed to Li Pojun, and bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister Ashina is dancing for Your Majesty." After that, regardless of the shocked audience, he danced directly on the spot, rolled up his sleeves and danced rhythmically in place, dancing a heroic and vigorous Hu Xuan dance.
