The king of the dead country almost has no good end, think about the future Tang queen, even his wife has to be dedicated to Zhao Guangyi, a wife to control and play, Li Shimin's character is even inferior to Zhao Guangyi, at least Zhao Guangyi will not snatch his brother and daughter-in-law to be a concubine.

Compared with the later Tang Dynasty, Jieli's luck is relatively good, because his wife is Turkic, and her appearance does not conform to the aesthetics of the Han people, plus she is also old, so Li Shimin did not take a fancy to it for the time being, but the beauties selected from various tribes in Jieli's harem were not sent into the palace by Li Jing and others, of course, these women are similar to the furnishings in the room in Jieli's eyes, and they are nothing at all.

However, although Jieli kept his hat and did not turn green, but after he was caught in the Tang Dynasty, he was not less humiliated by Li Shimin, and was previously treated as a cow and sheep and sacrificed to Taimiao, but later Li Shimin was even more excessive, every time there was a major banquet, especially when the envoys of various countries were invited, Li Shimin would invite him to and ask him to beat drums and dance at the banquet.

Who would have thought that the Turkic Khan, who was invincible at the beginning, was now regarded by Li Shimin as a good man, and pleased the guests with dance and music at the banquet, of course, Li Shimin did this not only to humiliate Jieli, but also to deter the envoys of those countries, after all, even the once powerful Turks were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and those other countries had to weigh their own weight when they wanted to go against the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's plan is to kill two birds with one stone, but it is a bitter profit, the overlord on the steppe, now he can only dance and sing for a living, of course, he also thought about going on strike, but the lives of their whole family are in the hands of Li Shimin, just as the so-called people are under the roof, he, the Turkic Khan, has to bow his head.

Before Li Xiu left Chang'an, Jieli had just had an illness, when Li Shimin also pretended to go to visit, and then proposed to let Jieli go to Yuzhou as a thorn history, it is said that there are many mountains, and the terrain is a bit similar to the grassland, which can make Jieli better recuperate.

However, at that time, Jieli was sick and couldn't get out of bed, and the doctors thought that he should stay in bed and couldn't move at all, so although Jieli was very eager to leave Chang'an, he finally rejected Li Shimin's proposal, in fact, he also knew that even if he really went to Yuzhou, I am afraid that it would not be long before Li Shimin would call him back again.

Jieli's life is relatively hard, and finally he finally survived, and it may be that after this life-and-death serious illness, Jieli also suddenly thought about it, usually eat and drink, and even deliberately found someone to learn to dance, so as to perform better at the banquet, and his body is getting healthier and healthier.

But in February of this year, Jieli, who was getting younger and younger, suddenly died, and Datang announced that Jieli was dying of a sudden illness, but the news that Li Xiu received was not so simple, Jieli should have been poisoned, which has been confirmed by the pretend.

However, Jieli was poisoned but could not be announced to the public, mainly for fear of damaging the face of the imperial court, after all, Jieli was already a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty could not even guarantee the safety of the other party, so how could the face of the imperial court exist? In addition, Li Shimin is also worried that Jieli will be used by some people, such as putting this basin on his head, although smart people know that it is definitely not Li Shimin's hand, because there is no need for this, but it is still no problem to fool some foolish people.

It is precisely because of the above considerations that the real reason for Jieli's death was covered up, and the reason why Li Xiu knew the truth of this matter was actually because Li Shimin sent a letter through Ma Ye, asking him about Jieli's opinion on the matter of Jieli being poisoned, but Li Xiu was not in Chang'an at all, and he couldn't put forward any opinion on this matter at all, after all, it was also recorded in the history books of later generations that Jieli died of illness.

However, on the third day of the news of Jieli's death, Feinusi sent him a private letter from Ma Ye, which did not contain much content, but revealed a very important information to him, that is, Jieli's death was likely to be related to Tuli.

When the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Jieli, Tuli also made some efforts, with his appeal, he also gathered many Turkic tribes to surrender, and later the Turks moved inward, and Tuli was also very interested, and took the initiative to move his subordinate Turkic tribes to the south.

Li Shimin is a person who misses the old love, seeing Tuli so obedient, and finally extraordinarily gracious, breaking the rule of not having a king with a different surname, and sealing Tuli as the king of Beiping County, eating 700 households, and retaining a thousand personal guards, such treatment In addition to the prince, there is only one person in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, of course, Tuli is a king of a different race after all, no matter how high the title is, the influence in the court is not great.

As the saying goes, one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, in addition to the Turk himself being named the king of the county, his brothers and sons have also received different rewards, but Li Shimin is still very wary of these Turks, although many meritorious Turks have been rewarded, but most of them are noble positions, and they do not have much real power.

The reason why Ma Ye said that Jieli's death was related to Tuli was because before Jieli's death, someone found that Tuli's son had appeared in Jieli's mansion, you must know that Jieli and Tuli had a deep grudge, even if Jieli was captured, the two did not have any intersection, but Tuli's son appeared in Jieli's mansion, and it was the day before Jieli's death, which makes people inevitably have some associations.

In addition, after Jieli's death, the biggest beneficiary is also Turki, don't look at the Turks have died, but there are still hundreds of thousands of Turks in the south, Jieli as a nominal khan, the influence on these Turks is still there, and now as soon as he dies, Turki will become the most suitable Khan candidate in the hearts of these Turks, even if Turki can no longer succeed to the throne of Khan, but his influence among the Turks will increase.

It can be said that after Jieli's death, Tuli's identity has become more important, plus Tuli already hates Jieli to the core, and he also has the motive and strength to kill Jieli, so Ma Ye's Feinu Division is also investigating Tuli during this time. However, even if it is found out that it is really Tuli's poison, I am afraid that Li Shimin will not announce it, at most he will secretly warn Tuli.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that Jieli would die so aggrieved, and in the end he didn't even know how he died, and he couldn't even catch the murderer.

"Uncle!" While Li Xiu was pondering, he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the study, followed by Li Ke's voice.

"Come in!" Li Xiu heard Li Ke's voice and immediately said, after coming to Yangzhou, their family also got Li Ke's warm hospitality, a few days ago Li Ke also accompanied them to visit the beautiful scenery of Yangzhou, especially Princess Pingyang did not give up, and transplanted a few pots of Qionghua to bring back to Chang'an, and I don't know if I can feed it?

As the door of the study was pushed open, the handsome Li Ke walked in, compared to when they were separated, Li Ke was obviously much taller than at the beginning, he was already about the same as an adult, and he looked more similar to Li Shimin.

"I heard my aunt say that my uncle seems to have encountered some troubles in the past few days, and I don't know if it can be solved now?" After Li Ke came in, he immediately smiled and saluted Li Xiu.

"Hehe, it's not a bother, it's just that I received news from your father, saying that Jieli is dead, and the death is very strange, and you still ask me what I think?" Li Xiu smiled at this time, Li Ke must have known about Jieli's death, so there is nothing to hide.

"It turned out to be Jieli's business, but a prisoner under the ranks, if he dies, he will die, and my uncle doesn't need to waste too much energy on this kind of thing!" Li Ke smiled indifferently when he heard Li Xiu's words, as if he didn't care about Jieli's death at all.

But it's not surprising, after all, when Li Ke was sensible, the Turkic threat to Datang was much smaller, so he didn't understand the pressure of the Turks on Datang at the beginning, and even in his opinion, Jieli was just a prisoner of Datang, and whether he was dead or alive was not worthy of his concern.

"What you said is also reasonable, just a prisoner is really not worthy of our attention, but when I think of the original Turks, I feel a little emotional." Li Xiu also smiled at Li Ke's words and said with a smile, the living environment of each generation is a little different, so it is normal for some ideas to be different, and in later generations, this is called the generation gap.

"By the way, what have you gained in Yangzhou during this time?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of one thing at this time, and asked Li Ke with a smile, when Li Ke stayed in Yangzhou alone, Li Xiu told him to see more and think more, talk less and do less, in order to cultivate his understanding of the local government affairs and be familiar with local government affairs.

"A lot!" Hearing Li Xiu's words, Li Ke immediately showed a serious expression at this time, and pondered for a moment before continuing, "Since you left, uncle, I have also done some understanding of all aspects of Yangzhou, especially the operation of the state government, which has taught me a lot of things, which are not something that can be learned from books, such as things that I thought were very simple before, but to really do it, it involves many aspects, and it is definitely not something that can be solved with one sentence!" ”

Seeing Li Ke's solemn expression when he spoke, this made Li Xiu also quite pleased, which showed that Li Ke really learned something from the place, so he immediately opened his mouth and praised: "That's right, you have such an experience, and the past few months have not been in vain!" ”

Hearing Li Xiu's praise, Li Ke couldn't help but show a little excited expression, but then he became a little hesitant again, and after a while, he spoke again: "Uncle, I'...... I don't want to go back to Chang'an! ”
