The incident of Xue Chongxun being elected as leader happened on the grasslands in the south of the desert. Although the main forces of the Turks had retreated north, their spies on the grasslands did not completely disappear because of this, and they soon learned about this.
At that time, the son of Gudulu Khan seized the throne of Khan and called him Vijay Khan. He appointed his father-in-law, Tsui Gu as the left wise king, holding military power and being a counselor, and obeying the rules of Ksui Gu.
After a little stabilizing the power, the Turkic tribes in the northwest originally wanted to contact the Tang Dynasty to surrender, and the vassal forces such as the old subordinates of Goguryeo also surrendered again. For a time, Vijay Khan's strength was strengthened and some vitality was restored.
When they heard that the Tang Dynasty coalition was still going to continue the conquest, two situations occurred within. Some people were very scared because of the lessons of failure; while Vijay Khan and others were anxious to revive the battle and establish their prestige as soon as possible.
At this time, Zuoxian King Shi Yugu said: Winter is coming, not only will the Tang army not be able to continue to move north, but even its vassal tribes will find it difficult to go out in the cold weather, so I think their alliance this time is just a bluff, and there is no need to panic; and Mochu Khan left a mess for the Turkic Khanate. Now that the Turkic enemies are surrounding them, the situation is very bad.What we should do most is not to continue to start a war, but to take advantage of the truce to gradually improve our situation and consolidate our position.
Vija Khan asked for advice on how to change the situation.
His father-in-law, Xu Chongxun, told me: Xue Chongxun won over all races and secretly divided the benefits in the name of righteousness. All tribes are respected by the Tang Dynasty. At present, we must change the current situation of our enemies everywhere. Only by first cultivating good relations with the Tang Dynasty, and then reconciling with other tribes.
Khan nodded frequently and trusted the strategy of Shinogu.
Shinyugu said again: Princess Ashinazhuo was kidnapped by the Tang army and presented it to the King of Jin. We can just send an envoy to ask for a marriage to discuss peace with this reason.
Vija Khan thought it was good and completely obeyed his suggestions. He soon sent envoys to go south.
……
Because of the usual practice of the Tang Dynasty, even Tubo envoys from Chang'an did not make any trouble to the Tubo envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty when they were in a state of war. Now Xue Chongxun does not make any trouble to the envoys sent by the Turks.
Xue Chongxun discussed with his aides that the radicals believed that the remnants of the Turks could not be given an opportunity to ease the situation, and the situation of encirclement and suppression should be maintained, and the court ordered all ethnic groups to continue attacking and completely eliminate the Turkic Khanate from its territory.
Su Jin opposed this and said: Although the Turks were our enemies, they had lost their strength after the decisive battle in Heisha City and lost the southern desert area. Such a force is no longer a threat. Is it effective to completely eliminate it?
Someone stood up and said: The Turks have been plaguing the border for many years and are full of blood debts. It is the time to hate him.
Su Jin said: From ancient times to the present, which race that once dominated the Central Plains has killed countless races?National hatred is different from personal grievances. Those in power should look at the future and not act voluntarily, otherwise the tragic past will repeat itself.Wisely and well-developed strategies can maintain the existing advantages of the Central Plains and reduce the possibility of being trapped in the barbarians in the future.Since the Turks were weakened and unable to be competent for our dynasty's opponents, Vijay Khan first expressed his pro-Tang Dynasty after taking power. If they could actively develop relations, it would be a good thing: seeing nearby can better make the border peaceful; considering that the Turkic Khanate existed in the northern desert in the distance, it can also play a role in restraining the Uighurs.Although the Uighurs can be harmonious with us, the Turks want to talk to our dynasty to stop harassing the border. What is the substantial difference between the two?
Su Jin lowered his tone again and said in a deep voice: The most important thing is the marriage proposed by the Turkic Khan, which was to marry the princess of the Asina family to the King of Jin, not the Li Tang royal family.Please think about the relationship.
After hearing this, Xue Chongxun pondered and thought to himself that although Wu Zetian established the country, she seized power in the country, but could not change the long-term sense of belonging to Li Tang by the surrounding tribes. Even Mochuo refused to marry the Wu family...
He thought for a long time and then said: Mr. Su’s words make some sense.Then he turned to look at Wang Changling, Zhang Jiuling and others, waiting for their opinions.
Erling understood that Xue Chongxun had a suggestion at this time, and the look he had come to seek is nothing more than to confirm whether his claim could be supported.
Zhang Jiuling took the lead in proposing: I will discuss the plan of Minister Su.
Wang Changling immediately agreed, as Su Jin said, doing so is harmless to the country.
It is just a truth that there are no eternal enemies in the world, especially in the power field.
Soon after, both sides fought and killed the corpses everywhere. In the blink of an eye, they could become relatives. Fellowship and revenge were really nothing in the overall situation.
After the plan agreed, Xue Chongxun summoned the Turkic envoys to meet and agreed to Vijay Khan's request for marriage.
Then more detailed negotiations were conducted, requiring the Turkic Khan to want the court to surrender (they have always recognized it in name); moved the Anbei Protectorate to the north of Mobei to establish a military stronghold, and sent Tang Dynasty officials in the Turkic Khan's court; the Turkic Khan also awarded the Tang Dynasty official title and title, promising to no longer invade the border, etc.
Because of the smooth peace talks, the Turkic envoy was able to meet Princess Asina in the Tang army camp.
Vijakhan is Ashinazhuo's brother, and the confidant sent by him was a Turkic nobleman and someone she knew, so he spoke more intimately.
The Turkic envoy advised her to give up her personal affairs and put the overall situation first. If she could be favored by the King of Jin in the Tang Dynasty, she could persuade those in power to treat the Turkic tribes well.
At this moment, Ashinazhuo found that he did not feel any sacrifice or grievance at all. Suddenly, he felt a little strange. Of course, he was embarrassed to say this verbally, so he followed the messenger's wishes: My father is dead, since it is my brother's intention, I should obey it.
The envoy was very satisfied and comforted him: Letting the princess stay in the Tang Dynasty can save more Turks from war, and everyone can remember the princess’ grace.
In fact, in the view of the upper class of various countries, the party who marrys a woman does not suffer any loss. Sacrifice of a princess or a nominal princess can affect the other party's power, which is simply a business that can make a profit without losing money.
The Central Plains royal family always had this view on marriage, but the abacus often did not go as expected. The power of the nomadic tribes was rarely influenced by women, just like Tubo married the Tang Dynasty princess and launched wars many times; the nomadic tribes also wanted to marry women to the court because they understood that the Han regime could sometimes be interfered by the foreign relatives in the harem, especially the Han Dynasty's harem was very powerful.
For the sake of profit, there are really not many people in power who want shame...
However, Xue Chongxun is not realistic enough in this regard. He always believes that giving the princess to other countries as a concubine is a shame. Instead, he is very interested in collecting beauties of all races. This is just a personal idea. Everyone is inevitably unwise.
There is a lot of red tape in it that needs to be used to marry Ashinazhuo and the Xue family. It will take a long time before Xue Chongxun returns to Chang'an to exchange letters of the country several times before it can be officially completed.
But after the Turkic envoys negotiated with Xue Chongxun in the Tang army camp, people's attitude towards Ashinazhuo began to change. The ministers and soldiers had already understood that she was about to become the concubine of the King of Jin, and there was more respect in words and there was no treatment of prisoners at all.
There are some officials and servants in the royal palace in the central army. They think that the prince's concubine can no longer wear some old clothes to settle down. It would be okay for her to be a captive prisoner in the past, but now it is different. These officials do have a way, but they actually get a satin skirt from somewhere...
On the vast grassland, except herders and the army must not have such things. They probably sent a quick horse to the three cities to find it.
Although the Sancheng is a military base for border defense, there are merchants and other past people. As long as they can afford the price, they can get the things they can have in China.
Ashinazhuo heard his cousin Yang Wozhi say that Han ladies rarely pay great attention to etiquette before getting married, and they are not as free and casual as the little ladies on the grassland. They think they must be very restrained.
Unexpectedly, she found that the clothes she gave her were so exposed that she didn't cover her body. She couldn't help but be surprised and incomprehensible to Tang Ren's thoughts.
Even though the silk skirt was covered with a mink coat and fur collar, the cleavage could still be exposed on the chest. Moreover, the clothes were cut very specially, with loose lower body but tight material on the chest, which deliberately highlighted the bulging parts.
At this time, two new maids were added to Ashinazhuo, and she couldn't help asking these two Han people: Do women in Chang'an dress up like this?
The maid replied: I have never been to Chang'an, and the only big town I have visited is Zhongcheng.Ordinary women dare not dress so silly, but those wealthy and powerful merchants really wear this kind of clothes. I heard that people with power came from the Daming Palace.
Ashinazhuo complained softly: The weather is so cold, they can really do it.
The maid said: Apart from singing girls, people who wear this kind of clothes are all people with status.
Ashinazhuo decided to follow the customs and asked the maids to take a bath and change clothes. However, after putting on the new clothes, she still felt very uncomfortable. The main reason was that the weather was so cold that it was so cold that it felt very abrupt on the outside, so she asked: It's okay to be summer... There is no way to wear it to cover your chest now?
There are many types of lining and strapless velvet.
The older maid had a little more knowledge. She thought about it and said that if she could cover it up, it would seem ungraceful, but as long as she changed to another type of strapless breast, it would not make people feel deliberate.
After saying that, they found another type of underwear, an embroidered tube top...
This thing is even more exaggerated. It exposes the lower half of the breasts and waist with her close body. From top to bottom, it can just cover the tip of the nipple, just like a lining that has been cut off most of the pieces, leaving only the upper and upper part.
Fortunately, after putting on the outer coat, there was no exaggeration, and the chest was no longer exposed.
Asinazhuo felt very satisfied and changed into this type of person.
However, the two maids turned their backs and whispered: The lining of the dinner robe was used, and others knew that it was to please the man at night...
After Ashinazhuo took a shower and changed his clothes, he met Qi Teller just after leaving the tent. Qi Teller kept looking at his new clothes, with no kindness in his eyes. Ashinazhuo also felt very uncomfortable and ignored it.
But Qi Teller said coldly behind him: Li Shizhi had just fallen into trouble, and the princess's intentions changed. Can't wait to please the King of Jin?
At that time, the son of Gudulu Khan seized the throne of Khan and called him Vijay Khan. He appointed his father-in-law, Tsui Gu as the left wise king, holding military power and being a counselor, and obeying the rules of Ksui Gu.
After a little stabilizing the power, the Turkic tribes in the northwest originally wanted to contact the Tang Dynasty to surrender, and the vassal forces such as the old subordinates of Goguryeo also surrendered again.
