1182. The marriage should be settled

When Simo heard Li Shimin's words, he raised his head suddenly, his face full of incredulity.

"I never said that Simo failed me, why should Simo be frightened", Li Shimin smiled slightly, changed his domineering and majestic image in the past, and was full of kindness in front of him.

Simo was stunned, and suddenly burst into tears, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty ......", he couldn't cry anymore.

Li Pojun was so moved when he saw such a big man, and tears fell straight down, he was also relieved and relieved.

Then they sat down, and Li Shimin sighed lightly, "Simo, I seem to be wrong."

Shi Simo was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Li Shimin meant, but Li Shimin's next words made Shi Simo completely frightened.

"I regret that I shouldn't listen to Wen Yanbo's words and treat the Turks well."

Shi Simo's eyes widened, his eyes were full of panic and panic, and his tears fell again, and then he knelt down and hissed and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am willing to thank Your Majesty for your kindness with death, the Ashina family has been a slave for generations, and will never be hired, I only ask Your Majesty for mercy...... Give the Turks a way to live, Your Majesty." Shi Simo grabbed the ground with his head, thumping, and blood came out of his forehead in a few clicks.

Shi Simo has never been so desperate as now, he is the great-grandson of the founder of the Turkic Khanate, Ili Khan, a proper royal noble, when the Qimin Khan could not escape the Sui Dynasty, he also served as a khan, and later the Qimin Khan returned to the Eastern Turks, Simo went to the title of Khan, was named Jiabi special service, and was deeply loved and valued by the four generations of Khans of Qimin, Shibi, Chuluo and Lili, and can be described as a winner in life, until he met the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, he is willing to completely abandon his dignity, his glory, and everything he has, just in exchange for an understanding from His Majesty the Emperor.

"Simo, get up and speak", Li Shimin couldn't bear it when he saw this, and said softly.

However, Shi Simo still buckled his head and prayed, Li Shimin frowned, patted the dragon case and glared: "I let you get up and speak."

Simo was shocked and stood up numbly, but his face was still pleading.

"Don't worry, since I have promised something, there is no reason to repent, just ......", Li Shimin seemed to be difficult to say anymore, but two words were mentioned in Simo's throat, and he looked at the emperor fixedly, for fear that the emperor would give him another fright.

Li Pojun on the side also smiled and took over, "It's just that Lingnan is building roads in the mountains, and there are not enough manpower, so we need to recruit some Turks to assist."

Saying that, Li Pojun also looked at Simo's expression fixedly, and sure enough, Simo was taken aback when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Build a road?" Dare to ask Your Highness, how many people are needed, can there be any way to live? ”

Li Pojun laughed when he heard this, and laughed: "General Simo said that he was joking, he was just building a road, and he didn't want a name." This conscription is to contribute to the country, and all citizens must participate, and now the Turks are also the people of the Tang Dynasty, so it is natural that they should fulfill their national obligations."

Smoke's face twitched when he heard this, and he was forced to serve? Fulfilling the national obligations, it makes sense, after thinking about it, I feel that something is wrong, this is obviously the anger that His Majesty the Emperor inflicted on the Turkic people, but Shi Simo didn't dare to ask more, after all, he was still guilty.

Fortunately, Li Pojun took the initiative to speak, "This time, the imperial court intends to requisition 200,000 Turkic young men from Dingxiang and Yunzhong, and go south to serve two years of forced labor, and the imperial court is responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Simo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, the imperial court was responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it only took two years, and after two years, the land could be granted, which was a good thing, but when he thought of that huge number, Simo was uneasy in his heart, and said directly: "His Royal Highness learned that if all the young and strong are recruited, I am afraid that the remaining old and weak women and children will not be able to continue their lives, and it will be difficult to survive the severe cold of winter."

The winter on the grassland is the ghost gate, and if there is no young man to take on the heavy responsibility, those old and weak women and children are afraid that they will die of cold and starvation.

"Haha, this General Simo doesn't have to worry, the Turkic people are my people of the Tang Dynasty, will the government watch the people starve and freeze?" Li Pojun got out of his seat, patted Simo on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

After Simo left, Li Pojun also looked at the door and nodded: "After this incident, Simo can be of great use."

Li Shimin was noncommittal, did not speak, but looked at Li Pojun with interest and asked, "I heard that the lady of the Zheng family blocked an arrow for you?" ”

Li Pojun was stunned when he heard this, touched his nose and nodded yes, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't know how the imperial court plans to deal with the Zheng family?" ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Pojun, "Of course, it will be dealt with according to law."

"Uh......" Li Pojun choked, "This crime of rebellion is dealt with according to law, that is, extermination, Aya doesn't really plan to cut down all these more than 1,000 people, right?" ”

"What? Do you have any ideas? Li Shimin felt more and more that something was wrong with Li Pojun, according to Li Pojun's habits, he just caught people and threw them to Dali Temple for trial, but he didn't care at all, how could he have a kind of gain and loss now.

Li Pojun coughed and said straightly: "Aya, the Zheng family is actually not all bad people, there are many good people, if you kill it, wouldn't it be too ruthless, now the population is the most scarce, fighting wars, farming, road construction and construction all need manpower, if you kill them all, it would be too wasteful, it is better to kill Zheng Xuanyi and other main culprits, and the rest of the uninformed people will be exiled to Meiling, how about participating in road construction, and they will be sent to Lingnan for resettlement after serving two years of forced labor, so as to fill the proportion of Han people in Lingnan."

Li Pojun said, Li Shimin didn't respond, just looked at Li Pojun, his eyes were full of suspicion, and after realizing what he saw, Li Shimin frowned and shouted: "What is the situation with you kid, to be honest, you were not so merciful when you killed the Yang family."

Li Pojun was stunned, so he had to pinch his nose and plead with Zheng Liwan, and then Zheng Liwan blocked the arrow with her body and said, "Aya, people saved my life, which can be called a great achievement, so it is nothing to spare his people a way to live, anyway, there is a shortage of people in Lingnan."

Li Shimin's face was calm when he heard this, and he was stunned for a long time, and when he saw that Li Pojun was also uncertain, he laughed, "Haha, my son has finally opened his mind, and for my father, I have to be curious about what the Zheng family's lady is capable of, and she is actually fascinated by you, an unenlightened boy."

Li Pojun was stunned when he heard this, and waved his hand and said, "Aya said that he was laughing, the child is just repaying the favor."

"Repay the favor? I don't think so, the lady of the Xiao family and the lady of the Yuwen family have never seen it in another light, but because this lady of the Zheng family has lost the bottom line, she must be moved, speaking of this, not only your mother, but also the third division of the prince has mentioned to me, you are not small, and the marriage should have a settlement."
