Chapter 35
Jieli Khan's expedition to the south of the Tang Dynasty this time came back with a great victory. As usual, everyone in the grassland should celebrate it to remember the grand event, and Jieli's great joy is even more so.

Preparations for Dasheng's celebration banquet began after Jieli returned to the Khan Court. The cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and the wine was prepared. The women in the Khan Court were busy all afternoon.

Jinshan is located in Mobei, and it is already winter. The night in the grassland seems to come much earlier than that in Chang'an. When we first arrived in You, the sky was already getting dark, and the men and women of the grassland gathered in the grassland outside the big tent. superior.

"We are the descendants of the wolf. The Longevity gave us strong bones, the machete is our teeth, the horse is our wings, and all the land under the sun is our pasture."

Under the guidance of the waiter, Li Ke heard the Turkic folk songs that kept coming to his ears before he arrived at the place.

Behind Li Ke, Su Dingfang and Wang Xuance, one literary and one military, followed behind Li Ke from left to right.

"Your Highness, today's banquet may not be a good one." Wang Xuance said to Li Ke, listening to the non-stop singing in his ears.

Li Ke replied: "It's okay, the king knows that tonight's banquet is not easy to deal with, and he is already prepared."

Wang Xuance said: "It's good for your Highness to know, but tonight's meal is not delicious, but it is not completely unacceptable. Tonight's big banquet, all the dignitaries of the Turkic ministries will come here. Your Highness can take this opportunity to see how the Turkic ministries treat me. Datang's attitude is also good for Cong Zhong's mediation."

Wang Xuance's words reminded Li Ke.

Although Li Ke went north for quality this time, Li Ke may not be able to get some credit for the future Northern Expedition, thinking that he will win the capital in the future, so Li Ke will never sit on the Turks, Wang Xuance's vertical and horizontal skills There is a place for it to come in handy.

Li Ke asked: "Since you have said this, you must have a draft in your chest. I don't know what you can teach me?"

The way of vertical and horizontal is originally the director of Wang Xuance, and this time Wang Xuance followed Li Ke to the north, and he worked hard. When Li Ke asked, Wang Xuance replied immediately: "Jieli is tyrannical, and he has been fighting for years. The Turkic ministers and the Turkic Khan The court has long been in harmony with each other, and the most serious ones belong to the Tiele tribe. Now that we have this opportunity, Your Highness might as well get in touch with the leaders of the Tiele tribe to test their attitude."

The Tie Le Tribe proclaimed Khan in Yanmo Mountain more than ten years ago. It was only because the Eastern Turks were strong and the Tie Le tribes were photographed under its prestige. Entering Jinshan to become a minister, it can be said that the Tie Le tribe had a dissenting heart towards the Turks.

But now, with the gradual prosperity of Xue Yantuo, Huihe and other tribes among Tiele's tribes, the minds of Tiele people have gradually become active.

Li Ke said: "Mr.'s words are very true. Turks are not monolithic, they must be able to move them. However, the king is young, and there are many barriers in the way here. I hope you can help me. In the future, the king of Japan who will rule the Turks in the Great Tang Dynasty will be in person. The father and the emperor show the merits of Mr. "

Wang Xuance is a scholar, and he is a scholar who is quite famous.This time he followed Li Ke to the north for a long distance, for nothing more than a chance to get promoted, Li Ke's words hit Wang Xuance's heart.

Xieli arranged for Li Ke to live in a large tent not far from the Khan tent, but it took only half a stick of incense to arrive, and the dome for the banquet of the Turkic dignitaries was next to the Khan tent.

When Li Ke pushed open the tent door and entered, the dome was already full of people. Apart from Xie Li who was sitting on the head seat, there were also the few people Li Ke had seen, such as Ashina Simo and Kang Sumi, who were sitting in their own seats. Outside of people, Li Ke has never met most of them.

However, beside Jie Li, there was still a Han Chinese-looking woman in her forties, looking at him. Li Ke could guess that the current appearance and status could only be Jie Li Khan's wife. Princess Sui Yicheng.

"Hahaha, everyone, the third prince of Tang Dynasty is here." As soon as Li Kefang entered the tent, Jieli pointed at Li Ke and smiled at everyone in the big tent.

This time Jieli went south, in order to prevent the opportunity to prepare for the Great Tang, Jieli left in a hurry. He only commanded the Turkic troops and did not mobilize the various ministries. Therefore, many people in the tent saw Li for the first time. Ke.

When everyone in the big tent heard the words, they all looked at Li Ke, who had just started, with different expressions, such as curiosity, sternness, or consideration.

Faced with such a situation, Li Ke was calm. He just stepped forward and bowed down: "The third son of Emperor Tang, King Ke of Shu, pay homage to Khan and Ke Dun."

Princess Yicheng, who was sitting next to Jieli, frowned inadvertently when Li Ke called himself the third son of the Tang emperor, as if displeased.

Princess Yicheng turned to Li Ke and asked: "You and I have never met, how did you know me?"

Li Ke replied: "Among the Turkic women who can have such a charm, they must be honest."

Although Li Kezhi's words sounded flattering, Princess Yicheng was not pleased at all when she heard them, because this was not Li Ke's reaction that Princess Yicheng wanted to see.

Princess Yicheng and Li Ke's mother Yang Fei are cousins, and Princess Yicheng is Li Ke's aunt.

Li Ke is now in Turkic, met his old relative in a foreign land, and still has the ability to protect his old relative. Li Ke should never have such a reaction. Princess Yicheng only saw two words from Li Ke's reaction. It is "estrangement".

But Li Ke was young after all, and Princess Yicheng didn't know whether he could be alienated or because of nervousness, so she asked, "Is Ruyi in good health when you came?"

The Ruyi that Princess Yicheng spoke of was Princess Ruyi, the title of Li Ke's biological mother Concubine Yang earlier, so it was naturally Concubine Yang that Princess Yicheng was asking.

Li Ke didn't know the meaning of Princess Yicheng's temptation, but in front of so many people, Li Ke never dared to have too much to do with this former Sui princess who was at odds with the Tang Dynasty.

At present, Princess Yicheng can indeed protect Li Ke well, but once the news is sent back to Datang and Li Shimin's displeasure is caused by her power, then Li Ke will be completely out of touch with the future throne.

Li Ke paused, and replied: "I have labor to worry about, Auntie is in good health, and everything is fine."

Li Ke called Ke Dun instead of his aunt. Li Ke's words had clearly expressed his position and angered Princess Yicheng.

Princess Yicheng snorted softly, pointed to the last seat in the big tent, and said to Li Ke, "Sit down."

Li Ke looked at the seat pointed by Princess Yicheng, which was already next to the tent door. It must be a good place to eat cold wind in this cold winter.

There was a wry smile in Li Ke's heart, and he cupped his hands in thanks and said: "The guest is up to the host, Li Ke thanked Ke Dun for his kindness."

With that said, Li Ke turned around and sat on the last seat.

Li Ke is the proton of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the son of the Tang Emperor. His status is distinguished, and he represents the Tang Dynasty in Turkic. Logically speaking, even if Li Ke is arranged to sit on the top table, it is all right to be side by side with the little Khan Tuli, but He just sat at the last seat, the meaning of which is self-evident.

Princess Yicheng is the wife of Jieli, and she is very respected in Turkic status. Her meaning represents the meaning of Jieli Khan to a large extent. Princess Yicheng did this, and everyone had their own thoughts.

If he stepped forward to embarrass Li Ke at this time, instead of offending Khan and Ke Dun, he would please them and make them happy.

Thinking of the benefits of this sentence, Kang Sumi, who had planned for a long time, stood up, bowed to Jieli Khan and Princess Yicheng, and then pointed to the big horn cup on the table, as if joking He said to Li Ke: "Today's big banquet, the third prince came late, shouldn't he punish himself with three cups as usual?"
