bastard seizes tang

Chapter 472
Mobei, Yu Dujun Mountain, Xue Yantuo Khan Court.

Yi Nan is also a person who is good at forbearance. Although he is a majestic Khan, the king of Mobei, and a unique figure in the Nine Parts of Tie Le, but in order to propose marriage, Yi Nan, who is over [-] years old and older than Li Shimin, is willing He descended from his seniority and became Li Shimin's son-in-law.

Moreover, the marriage between Xue Yantuo and Datang meant that Yi Nan not only became Li Shimin's descendant, Li Ke was older than all the unmarried princesses born by Li Shimin. Brother-in-law.

Yi Nan wanted to get married in order to seek peace, to seek a few years of respite, so that he and Xue Yantuo had enough time and energy to calm down, cultivate their strengths, and then regroup, leaving behind the opportunity to compete with the Tang Dynasty. capital.

And Li Shimin also gave Yi Nan such an opportunity to allow the two countries to make peace, to make the border peaceful, and to marry the princess to him, but Yi Nan never expected that the dowry Li Shimin asked for was really scary.

15 horses, [-] cattle, [-] camels and [-] sheep each, a total of [-] cattle, sheep and livestock. Under the current situation of fighting in the east and west of Mobei, and the surplus is insufficient, this is almost going to empty Dujun Mountain The amount that Khan Court can take out.

Yi Nan didn't know where Li Shimin's number came from, but it was not too much, and it happened to be the number that Yi Nan could come up with, but it took Yi Nan to spend all his money to come up with it.

As Xue Yantuo Khan, Yi Nan is in charge of the thousands of miles of northern Mobei. Although he was not lucky enough to see the abilities of the mother-in-law in the Central Plains, his father-in-law and brother-in-law worked on their behalf. The exorbitant price of re-employment from the empty treasury, even if it is put in a thousand years, will not be inferior, and it will also make future generations feel ashamed and ashamed.

But even though it has been a thousand years, from the standpoint of his son-in-law, the Khan, Yi Nan, is thinking the same as ordinary people.When Yi Nan looked at the edict brought back by Kun Gu, he couldn't help but blushed when he saw the numbers on it, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. This gift list really made him too embarrassed.

"Pasha, what do you think the Emperor Tang meant by this? Why did he ask for such a re-employment after agreeing to the marriage?" Yi Nan looked at the important edict in his hand and asked the dignitary Ti Zhen with an ugly expression. .

The official Tizhen replied: "Whose idea is this? Although the Emperor Tang did not say it clearly, but judging from the news brought back by Kun Gu, it was probably instigated by Li Ke. Khan and his relatives made things difficult for Li Ke. Naturally, Li Ke didn't like it." I will let it go, and I will embarrass Khan here."

Yi Nan asked: "What do Pasha think of the Emperor Tang's edict?"

Ti Zhen Daguan replied: "Although I am old, my hands and feet are quite nimble. For my important matter, Xue Yantuo, it is not a bad idea to go to Lingzhou, but the Tang Emperor asked for too many livestock, so I have to collect them together. I'm afraid I, Xue Yantuo, will be injured."

Yi Nan also said: "What Pasha said is right. Now that Tuli is fighting in Jinshan, the 8 troops under his command are at a great loss every day. It is still difficult for me, Xue Yantuo, to supply Jinshan's army. How can I spare so much energy to gather so many troops? livestock."

Tuli's army is fighting with Dadu in Jinshan, with 8 horses, and the daily loss of food and grass is huge. Every month, Tuli has to send people to Khan Court to urge food. Yi Nan is already a headache, but now Li Shimin speaks There are another 15 livestock, which is even worse for Xue Yantuo, a Han family who is not rich at all.

For a while, Yi Nan even regretted the act of proposing marriage. How did he know that proposing to marry the Tang princess would not only lower his seniority, but also take so many cattle and sheep.

Yi Nan felt somewhat regretful, but the official Ti Zhen said: "The Khan has sent envoys to Beijing to ask to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has already issued an order to allow it. I am afraid there is no room for change. How, this relationship must be reconciled, and this cattle and sheep must be given away."

Yi Nan naturally knew the meaning of Ti Zhen Daguan. It was Yi Nan who asked for the marriage. If he repented now, he would be scorning the majesty of Datang and Li Shimin. Sloppy.

In Yi Nan's eyes, Li Ke stationed troops outside the Hedong Pass had long intended to go north to Junji Mountain, otherwise Li Ke would not have repeatedly provoked the sidelines. If he refused the marriage now, it would be tantamount to granting Li Ke In this case, Li Ke's 15-horse army on the east of the river may go north in an instant, and it will not be a problem that these [-] livestock can solve.

Yi Nan asked: "Pasha also agrees with me agreeing to the Tang Emperor's condition, offering 15 livestock as a betrothal gift, and begging to marry the Tang princess?"

Tizhen Daguan smiled wryly and said: "Khan, it's not that the minister agrees with this matter, but that the princess Khan must marry. If she doesn't marry, Khan is playing tricks on Tang Emperor. Li Ke's [-] frontier troops in Hedong It's not a decoration, it will be the disaster of my Xue Yantuo in an instant."

Hearing the words, Yi Nan knew that there was no way out, so he gritted his teeth and said, "That's fine, as long as I can marry Princess Datang, the two countries can talk about peace, and then not only can I get ten years of peace for me, Xue Yantuo, but also I can grow strong." I, Xue Yantuo, have a great reputation, and it is not for nothing that I have taken out these 15 livestock."

Tizhen Daguan said: "It's best for Khan to think so. Back then, Turkic Jieli was even more powerful than Emperor Tang. I, Xue Yantuo, survived it before, and I can naturally do the same today. As long as I survive this hurdle, I will marry you." After returning to Princess Tang, we, Xue Yantuo, have passed the hurdle."

Yi Nan said: "Pasha is right, but"

As Yi Nan spoke, his face was full of embarrassment, he paused, and then continued: "It's just that these 15 livestock came from nowhere, and we can't really empty out the entire Yu Dujun Mountain and give it to us." Tang Ting."

The dignitary Tizhen thought for a while, and said: "No, winter is coming soon, and I, Xue Yantuo, don't have enough food and grass to fight this year. If this matter empties the court, I'm afraid this winter will be difficult."

Yi Nan asked, "What does Pasha mean?"

Tizhen Daguan replied: "Marrying the princess is not only a matter for my Xue Yantuo family, but also for the whole Tiele. How can it only be hired by the Khan Court? The Khan can order people to collect from all ministries. Tiel has nine tribes and divides them into different tribes. The number of people can be apportioned."

Yi Nan asked worriedly: "Huihe, Qibi, Tongluo and other ministries are already dissatisfied with Xue Yantuo's leadership of the country. If we forcibly expropriate from the various ministries, I am afraid that the various ministries will rebound and complain too much."

The official Tizhen replied: "Even if the ministries complain, there is nothing to do. As long as the Khan marries the Tang princess back and marry the Tang court, even if the ministries are dissatisfied, there is nothing we can do about it. We can deal with them slowly."

Yi Nan nodded and said: "What Pasha said is very true. Right now, the most important thing is to pay attention to the Han Court, and the most important thing is to marry the princess. You can put everything else aside."
