A Taiji Palace is not only the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, but also the core of the power of the Tang Dynasty, and the working place of Shangshu Province is in the front hall of the Taiji Palace.

For any ordinary person, being qualified to step on the stone slab of Taiji Palace is indeed an endless glory.

After Liu Mu took Du Zichun and the three of them into the Taiji Palace, naturally there were eunuchs who led them to their positions, even if it was in the corner of the Taiji Palace, and behind the pillars, there were eight small seats around them, which was also a very high honor, along with the other five people at the table, these people felt that they could glorify their ancestors.

Just as Liu Mu was about to take his seat, the forbidden army in the first palace quickly walked to Liu Mu's side: "Liu Buma, there are some guests on the grassland outside the palace gate, and they said that they must see you." ”

"Aren't they eligible to enter the palace?" Yanagi asked rhetorically.

"Yes, they don't have a post."

"Let's go." Liu Mu motioned for the forbidden army in the palace to lead the way.

When Liu Mu left the palace, the banquet in the palace had reached the auspicious time of the beginning, Li Yuan and Li Shimin walked to the top position together, Li Yuan swept the banquet, and asked Peng Hai sideways: "Where is the wood." ”

"The old slave immediately went to find it." Peng Hai hurriedly left to look for it.

Li Shimin reminded on the side: "Father, the auspicious time has come." ”

"Well, I'll teach him a lesson later." Li Yuan was very unhappy, because since you Liu Mu was in Chang'an for such a grand event, it was your fault that you were late. However, he first said the Chinese New Year's Eve message, and then announced the opening of the banquet.

Li Shimin's mentality is very good, Li Yuan never asks a word about state affairs, but when he encounters a problem that he can't understand, Li Yuan will also guide himself, so Li Shimin will first invite Li Yuan to the front desk at any time, as long as it has nothing to do with state affairs.

In front of the gate of the palace, when Liu Mu arrived, there were already two hundred forbidden troops guarding the gods.

There are dozens of people who are obviously dressed on the grassland standing in front of the palace gate, and the first person is Liu Mu, who knows each other, and Hui Khan is confused.

"What's going on?" Willow greeted him.

Tu Midu walked a few steps forward quickly, and after giving a salute, he hurriedly said without waiting for Liu Mu to return the salute: "I came here to ask for help from you, Jieli seems to be crazy, attacking small tribes everywhere in the autumn, and Yi Nan is also taking the opportunity to expand." This is very bad, the peace on the grassland has been broken, and the life of the herders is no longer stable. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

Tumidu pointed to the person next to him: "With more than 5,000 elite cavalry, the tribal leaders who hope for the peace of the grassland are all here." I think you must have a way to help the grasslands regain calm, or ......"

Tumidu didn't say any more, and Liu Mu said: "Or let Jieli die." ”

"Yes." Tu Midu nodded: "As soon as Jieli dies, as long as there is no chaos in the grassland, Yi Nan will not dare to expand his power at will." I think Yi Nan is ambitious, and this ambition is a disaster for the grassland. ”

After saying that, Tumidu handed a parchment roll to Yanagi.

This parchment scroll must have been a national treasure in later generations, and not many Turkic scripts have been handed down, especially before the real Turkic script was formed, and the old script used by the Uighurs was derived from the Aramaic alphabet.

Tumidu explained the contents of the parchment scroll to Liu Mu, which was a kind of condemnation.

"Confused." Liu Mu stuffed the sheepskin roll to Tumidu: "Whether you fight or not, this is a major military matter." At present, Datang has fought three battles, and Jieli can be said to be greatly injured. And your opinion wants to eliminate Jieli, even if countless people in the Tang Dynasty think so, but no one says so, the Tang Dynasty is the same as you want, a peaceful world. ”

Tu Fan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Liu Mu said again: "Xue Yantuo Yinan Khan has just surrendered, he has ambitions, but you came to him for trouble, and you want the Tang Dynasty to denounce him, do you think the important ministers of the court will support it?" Even if it takes time to denounce, it is estimated that you and him will have to fight to the death at least twice in the process, which is not a small loss. ”

"It's ....... You're right. Tu Midu nodded again and again, and quickly took out another sheepskin roll, but this one was a text without a single word, with hundreds of handprints.

"I'm a copy that I prepared with many leaders, I'm afraid that this one is not suitable, so I can make a new copy here, and it's better to write it."

Liu Mu is embarrassed, how to write this appropriately.

At this time, Peng Hai arrived.

"Liu Juma, the emperor is angry, because you were not in the banquet during the banquet."

"The Emperor." Liu Mu's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of a real event in the history of the later generations, and immediately said to Peng Hai: "You wait for me a little longer, I have something important here." ”

Liu Mu pulled Tu Midu aside: "I have an idea, you immediately write a new content here, without mentioning the contradiction between you and Yi Nan." I only said that thanks to the Tang Dynasty, there was a warm winter on the grassland, etc., and finally remember to add a sentence, saying that you united so many leaders and served the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty as the Khan of the Heavens. ”

"Heavenly Khan?" Tumidu didn't understand what that meant.

"It is the highest khan of all khans, and then I will find you a chance to go to the temple, and at that time you will say something good and not mention any contradictions. After that, when the New Year's feast is over, I will arrange for you to meet the saints alone, and then you can say that Jieli is hateful as much as you want, because the supreme khan of all the khans has the obligation to protect every tribe. ”

"Understood."

Tumidu pulled the leader of the five thousand horsemen together, and after a quick discussion, a new parchment scroll began to be written.

Liu Mu asked again, "Do you have any gifts with you?" If not, I'll hurry up and prepare some for you. ”

"Yes, we brought with us a thousand ferrets, a thousand sables, a hundred rare blue sables, and fifty golden minks."

"Okay, get the gift ready. I will reward you, and I will reward you again. ”

Liu Mu tossed outside the palace gate, and did not return to the palace until the banquet was half an hour.

Li Yuan's face was dark, and he was obviously ready to curse.

Liu Mu walked quickly to Li Yuan: "Father, the son is not late, but there is something important to deal with outside the palace." ”

"Important?" Li Yuan expressed skepticism, but gave Liu Mu a chance to explain.

Liu Mu said: "The Hui Khan brought dozens of leaders of various tribes on the grassland to Chang'an, which should have been received by the Ministry of Rites, but they didn't dare to do it hastily, so they wanted to hear the opinions of their ministers. ”

"What?" Li Yuanxin said that there was really something.

What Li Shimin is most concerned about is whether the chaos on the grassland is too big to control.

In fact, Li Shimin's guess is accurate.

Liu Mu said: "They are here to give gifts and write a book, thanking Datang for their help." ”
