Chapter 495: The History of the Xiazhou Thorn

Xia Hongsheng didn't intend to expose himself to the people in the rivers and lakes who were rushing at the Turks and the pro-embassy, so after seeing Yi Qiulou during the day, he didn't do anything, which was originally planned.

On the surface, it was Yi Qiulou and Li Feng who gathered those people in the rivers and lakes and led those people to rob the Turkic peace envoys under the banner of obstructing peace, but secretly, it was Xia Hongsheng who formulated the plan and command. Using the property of the Turkic and pro-embassy to attract those people in the rivers and lakes, and using the obstruction of the Turkic and pro-pro as a high-sounding excuse, even the excuses have been found for those people in the rivers and lakes, and even the top of the tank has ready-made people, this advantage is not taken advantage of. So in addition to those who have already arrived here, others have arrived.

In this way, Yi Qiulou and Li Feng were in the Ming Dynasty, and Xia Hongsheng was in the dark, and together they let those people in the rivers and lakes rob the Turkic peace mission.

Early in the morning of the first day, Xia Hongsheng woke up from the noise of the inn, had breakfast, and waited quietly in the house.

About an hour passed, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Qi Yong's voice came from outside: "Childe, Lord Liu is here." ”

Because of the work of pacifying Shuofang, Liu Min is now the assassin of Xiazhou, and Xia Hongsheng is precisely because he cooperated with him when he recovered Shuofang before, and felt that he was capable of doing things, so this time he chose the place in Xiazhou again.

Xia Hongsheng opened the door, Liu Min walked in from the outside, and immediately bowed down to salute: "Xiaguan to meet Xiahou!" ”

Xia Hongsheng waved his hand, pulled Liu Min up, and said with a smile: "Farewell last time, it's been more than a year now, and Liu Tingshi is okay?" This time Ben Hou came to Xiazhou, and he had to work hard again for Liu Tingshi. ”

"It is the duty of a courtier to serve the court. Xiahou came by order, and if there was an order, the officials should do their best to implement it. Liu Min said: "It's just that the lower officials are a little puzzled, why Xiahou didn't go to the Assassin's Mansion, but called the lower officials here." I don't know, but what's going on? ”

"Sit down. Sit down and talk about it. Xia Hongsheng sat Liu Min down and said to Liu Min: "At the beginning, because of the Shuo Fang matter, I cooperated with Liu Tingshi, and I felt that Liu Tingshi was very reliable, so this time I proposed to His Majesty that the Turkic and pro-envoys enter the Tang Dynasty from Xiazhou, but it brought a lot of trouble to Liu Tingshi. ”

"So, the rumors of Turkic peace with the Tang Dynasty are true?" Liu Min was stunned for a moment, looked up and asked.

Xia Hongsheng winked at him. said: "In the Jieli political turmoil, Xue Yantuo united with the nearby nine surnamed Tiele Zhong Hui and other tribes to resist, and was supported by the Tiele tribes in the north of the Turks, and promoted Yi Nan as the leader. His Majesty secretly sent Qiao Shiwang to Xue Yantuo's ministry to canonize before, but now, Xue Yantuo has sent envoys and is on his way to the Tang Dynasty. If the envoys of Xue Yantuo's ministry entered Chang'an and His Majesty received his envoys, it would mean that the Tang Dynasty recognized Xue Yantuo as an independent country. At that time, the Turks will be attacked on their backs. Jieli saw this, so he wanted to stop Datang from admitting Xue Yantuo. Jieli sent people to rob and kill Xue Yantuo's envoys. However, Xue Yantuo's envoys were protected by the members of the Tang Blade and spy personnel, and he failed to succeed. The Turks were worried that after the Tang Dynasty recognized Xue Yantuo. Joined forces with Xue Yantuo, so he wanted to pacify Xue Yantuo first, so as to avoid being attacked by the enemy on his own back. Therefore, Jieli Khan took the initiative to show favor to the Tang Dynasty, expressing his willingness to pay tribute and make peace with the Tang Dynasty. This is to paralyze Datang and stabilize Datang. Then let him calm Xue Yantuo without worries. ”

Liu Min listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, his eyebrows immediately tightened, and he said, "Then why would Your Majesty still agree to the Turkic peace envoy to enter the Tang Dynasty?" Agree and pro?! Jieli wolf's ambition, hasn't Your Majesty seen through it?! ”

Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "Of course, Your Majesty can see through Jieli's thoughts. But. Now the Tang Dynasty and the Turks have not torn their faces on the surface, and they are still allies of the bloody alliance. The allies proposed to be ministers and relatives, if our Datang directly refused, what would other countries that were vassals to Datang think? Therefore, it can only be agreed that the Turkic peace mission entered the Tang Dynasty through Xiazhou and went to Chang'an. ”

"This ......" Liu Min shook his head: "That's true...... It's just that Jieli is uneasy and kind, once he is reconciled, the Tang Dynasty will no longer be able to recognize Xue Yantuo, who has defected from the Turks. The Turks are bound to pacify Xue Yantuo, put an end to future troubles, and then turn around and go all out to deal with the Tang Dynasty. ”

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "So Your Majesty lined me up." ”

Liu Min was puzzled and looked at Xia Hongsheng: "What does Xiahou mean ......"

"Agreeing to the request of the Turkic ministers and relatives, agreeing to meet with the Turkic peace and relatives mission, and letting the Turkic peace and relatives enter Xiazhou, these are all things on the surface, all for outsiders to see, with the reputation of our Datang." Xia Hongsheng smiled, lowered his voice and said to Liu Min: "So on this bright face, I came to Xiazhou to meet the Turkic and pro-envoy on the order. But secretly, I also received another secret decree from His Majesty. This secret is only known to me, Lord Liu, and those spy personnel. ”

Liu Min was startled, quickly stood up, bowed down and said, "Weichen takes the order!" ”

"No, it doesn't have to be this way." Xia Hongsheng pulled Liu Min back and said, "The real purpose of my trip to Xiazhou this time is actually to try to obstruct the Turkic and pro-envoy delegations so that they cannot reach Xiazhou smoothly. Before, I had already spread the news that the Turkic and pro-envoys had incomparable treasures, and in the name of obstructing the Turkic pro-pros, I had attracted some green forest thieves in the green forest who wanted money and did not want their lives, and some righteous people who were dissatisfied with the affinity. They are now in ambush on the way of the Turkic and pro-mission outside the Guanwai. As soon as the Turkic peace envoys arrived, they would plunder them. Once the gift is robbed, the Heqin delegation will naturally not be able to leave tens of millions of Chang'an empty-handed. If they returned the same way and prepared the gifts again, they would not be able to come down in a few months, and by then Xue Yantuo's envoys had already entered Chang'an, and it would be meaningless for the Turks to ask for peace again. And if they are empty-handed, it is also a lack of sincerity, and His Majesty can refuse to receive them, or even expel them from the Tang Dynasty, which is also reasonable. ”

Liu Min was taken aback and asked Xia Hongsheng: "This, as the country of the suzerain, my Tang Dynasty, is it ...... to use this method?"

"Liu Tingshi thinks the means have been made?" Xia Hongsheng smiled: "So the others in the court refused to do it and pushed me over." That's why the secret decree used by His Majesty must not be known to outsiders! ”

Liu Min has been in Xiazhou and has seen the ferocity of the Turks, so it is only a moment of hesitation. Hearing Xia Hongsheng say this, he shook his head and laughed again: "To deal with the enemy, naturally do everything." This method can not only protect the reputation of Datang, but also destroy Jieli's conspiracy. It's a good way, but it's too short for the lower officials. ”
