Saleh's eyes were gloomy. He knew from the beginning of the court meeting that Jin was conferring officials to the imperial court. Li Hong suddenly announced without warning that Jin was conferring so many civil servants and generals of the Tang Dynasty today. He was extremely arrogant. Arrogant purpose.
This purpose is not difficult to guess. Just look at his relaxed and comfortable behavior above, and you will know that his purpose has obviously been achieved.
I used the Jin title of General Wencheng to give myself and other envoys from various countries a disincentive. At the same time, I also want to warn everyone here that there are so many famous ministers and generals in the Tang Dynasty. It doesn’t matter which country expresses hostility towards the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has the ability to express its hostility to the Tang Dynasty. Hostile countries were treated as docile as scalpers, and they worked hard and allowed Datang to exploit their interests.
Xue Rengui and Hei Te Changzhi, these two names are enough to intimidate Xiaoxiao in Anxi. Together with Quan Yi from Tubo and Yuan Shuji from Yumenguan, including Li Jingxuan from Anbei, Ge Xiyuan from Anton and others, the Northeast and West Four In each direction, they are all generals who have served in the Tang Dynasty for many years and are both wise and brave.
Even their Dashi was defeated by Hei Te Changzhi and Xue Rengui... Wait a minute, it seems that there is one less general who has not been awarded the title of Jin
Li Zhe? Where has King Li Zhe of England gone? Why didn't he appear with the emperor's relatives and wealthy families at such an important court meeting in the Tang Dynasty
With eyes as deep as an eagle's eye, he glanced around the Hanyuan Hall, but did not find the person he was looking for. Saleh simply put this question behind him.
The most urgent task now is that one of these envoys needs to stand up and tell the crown prince Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty that this world is not decided by the Tang Dynasty alone. You Jin has enfeoffed so many border areas. Military commander, what is your intention
We express peace with the utmost sincerity, but you have promoted so many brave and capable generals. Are you trying to destroy the friendship between us and the Tang Dynasty
But Saleh didn't want to stand out, and he wasn't used to being the first to stand up when something happened. He needed to find a target to stand up and say these words for himself.
It's impossible for the Sultan around him. This guy is too cunning, just as cunning and deceitful as the Tang Dynasty. What's more, he hopes that the Tang Dynasty will show greater hostility to Dashi, so that the Umayyad family, in the country of Dashi, can Face greater pressure, thus giving them enough support and reputation from Hashem.
Saleh's eyes slowly moved from the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty to the envoys from various countries. In his ears, he could hear the chief ceremonial officer of the Tang Dynasty, who was reciting the tribute of the local governor of the Tang Dynasty in a high-pitched voice. Many auspicious gifts and treasures given to the Tang Dynasty court.
As for the envoys from various countries, there are also many envoys. The Tibetan Mangsong Mangzan, the king of Tutu Shi, and the Persian King Belus are already holding gifts in their hands, preparing to greet the eunuch. Under the arrangement, they presented gifts from their countries to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
The figure of the Tocharian King fell into his sight. Saleh's deep eagle-like eyes instantly made the Tocharian King realize that someone was looking at him.
Tocharo was a kingdom composed of the Yuezhi and other clans, and the nine surnames of Zhaowu, which had been completely broken up by Li Hong in Anxi and re-formed, had a complicated and unclear relationship with them.
But later on, they always lived on the west side of the river, chasing the water. In what is now Tochara, a stable dynasty began to be established. In addition, there was the great help of the Persian Kingdom, that is, the Sassanid Kingdom of Belus, so it has always spanned the country. Between the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty and Persia.
King Tochara: Wen Huo Xun is now regarded as the king of subjugation. After the Tang Dynasty occupied the royal city, he has been attached to the Great Cannibal. This time, he also came with the Great Cannibal Saleh. There is only one purpose, which is to get back the vast land occupied by the Tang Dynasty and the people of the royal city with the help of the cannibal.
In the Hanyuan Hall of Nuo Da, the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty were carrying out donation activities, while envoys from other countries who had good relations with the Tang Dynasty, such as Silla and Baekje, had already begun to make contributions under the leadership of the eunuch Si Li. They lined up to give their congratulatory gifts.
So Tocharo King Wen Huoxun also took the opportunity to run towards Saleh, wanting to hear Saleh's advice for him.
Just after taking a few steps away from the crowd, he was blocked in front of him by a slightly thin Tang Dynasty military general.
"If you go any further, I will order you to be kicked out of Hanyuan Hall and go back and sit down." Xue Shao didn't know when, relying on his thin body, he squeezed in and sat down among the envoys from various countries. in that area.
"You... General Xue, don't you still want me to express my respect to your Majesty the Emperor?" Wen Huoxun did not expect that this young man who had arrived in Anxi not long ago and had been promoted to a senior general of the Tang Dynasty would At this time, blocking his own way.
Xue Shao obviously came well prepared. Faced with the questioning of Wen Huoxun, the Tocharian king, he said eloquently: "I don't have your share today, so just sit down and attend the greetings. If you want Congratulations to our Emperor, your name was not registered by the eunuch."
It was obvious that Xue Shao had come prepared and had thought up an excuse in advance, and then kept staring at the connection between Wen Huoxun and Saleh.
This was originally Li Zhe's job, but Li Zhe and Wolf were imprisoned at the same time yesterday, so Li Hong made an impromptu decision and asked Li Lingyue to find Xue Shao to prevent King Wen Huoxun of Tocharo from asking the court for the royal city. move.
So when Xue Shao saw Wen Huoxun getting up from his seat and walking forward, he immediately ran over and blocked his way.
Saleh's eyes became more and more gloomy. He should have thought a long time ago that Li Hong would never let an accident happen in the court easily. He would definitely be more cautious today, but he didn't know that he had arranged everything well yesterday.
But having said that, the Tang Dynasty was going to reward their civil servants and generals. Before the meeting, they foreign envoys had no idea that this would be happening in the Hanyuan Hall of the Tang Dynasty today.
"If you promise me to invite Ye Yue out of Prince Pu's Mansion after the Tang Dynasty meeting is over, I can do it for you and add some disharmonious and interesting things to this harmonious court. Come out." Sultan looked at Saleh's gloomy eyes, looked at the young man blocking Wen Huoxun's path not far away, and said calmly next to Saleh.
"I will not bargain with you, let alone use Yeyue's lifelong happiness to make this deal with you." Saleh said coldly without looking back.
"Do you think I'm inferior to that guy?"
"It's Yeyue who thinks you are inferior to him."
"Yeyue is the princess of Dashi Kingdom, and that guy is our main enemy! You are actually willing to marry your sister to our enemy, but you don't want her to marry me? You must know that this time you come to Dashi Tang Dynasty, one is to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty about the ownership of Tochara City, and the other is to take Yeyue back! If you don't do this, don't you know the consequences?" Sultan was stunned, but he didn't expect Saleh to refuse. It was so enjoyable that the dissatisfaction in my heart immediately burst out.
Saleh then turned back to look at Sultan, his deep eyes still made it impossible to see through the fluctuations in his heart, his lips trembled slightly and he said: "Negotiating with the Tang Dynasty about the Tocharo King's City, do you think it will be easy? The Tang Dynasty is in Anxi. It’s not like you don’t know the conditions proposed by Zhang Jianzhi. If we want the Tang Dynasty to return the city of Tochara, we must return the Jiling City of the Sassanid Kingdom that we worked so hard to capture. To Belus, are you willing to agree to such a condition?"
"But should we show a tough attitude? How can we allow the Prince of the Tang Dynasty to bully a group of us so arrogantly? You are the prince of our Dashi. Now, you should show your attitude instead of letting them act violently. Tang, sit back and enjoy the congratulations and praises from the envoys from all over the world!" The Sultan clenched his fists and showed his veins, showing that he was very angry because of Prince Tang's actions.
Saleh looked at the angry Sudan, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes. He looked at Sudan's eyes quietly, and after a while he said: "It's useless, you don't need to provoke me, I know you are here." What are you thinking? Do you want the tension between me and him to become more and more tense? It would be best if the Tang Dynasty continues to use troops against us, and then use this to divert our attention to the war with the Tang Dynasty, and then Giving your Hashemite family the opportunity to persuade other families to cooperate with you in our kingdom, right?”
Saleh licked his lips with his white teeth, then looked at Sultan and continued: "I know you like Yeyue very much. You have liked Yeyue since you were a child. Yeyue and I attacked Jiling City and were captured by Li Hong. You always thought that if If Yeyue was not captured, she would definitely marry you, so you blame all this on me, right? Since you think Yeyue is your true love, why don't you prove it in public? Have the courage to challenge him? Do you want to prove that you love Yeyue more than him? See? Yeyue is also sitting there. Today she appears in the Hanyuan Palace of the Tang Dynasty as the princess of Dashi Kingdom. "
Saleh's eyes flashed with naked agitation, and Sultan was not an idiot, so he naturally understood Saleh's intentions.
A sinister smile appeared on the Sultan's face, and he also showed his white teeth and sneered: "I know you want to use me, although I am just a pawn for you to make plans, but... I will try, But remember what you just said, if you dare to let Ye Yue go again, I can't guarantee... "
"My mother's position as queen is very stable. Just your sister can't shake it." Saleh also stared at the Sudan.
After Wen Huoxun was blocked and envoys from other countries were unable to take advantage of this situation, it couldn't be said that it was bad for the Sultan in front of him to initiate an emotional drama with the Tang Crown Prince for a woman, right
