Chapter 2392 A little unwilling
Speaking is an art. Many times, the same thing can have a different meaning if you say it in a different way.
Li Shen took his masterpiece and looked through it, nodding with great satisfaction.
He was the first person in history to bribe the emperor and buy over the prince.
"Alright, send it out. As for the weapons and equipment, they will be escorted by the people sent by the Crown Prince.
Leave the food at the workshop to feed the craftsmen who will be rebuilding the village next year."
Li Shen made the final arrangements, and Wang Xuance wrote them down. This matter would not be finalized until several months later.
Prince Ji was just making arrangements in advance. By that time, Prince Ji might have forgotten what happened today.
Shitou, who was standing by, was also taking notes in a small notebook. He was afraid that King Ji would forget and deny his mistake.
After the arrangements were completed, everyone left. The northwest wind was biting cold at night, and Li Shen stayed on the warm couch and slowly fell asleep.
On the second day, the guard camp of Prince Ji's palace was assembled, and Zhou Daowu was ready to set off with 10,000 palace soldiers.
Today Li Shen is going to the Western Expedition Army camp to meet with the Uighur Khan.
Li Shen just wants an attitude. If he really can't give it, then kill him.
It was already noon when Li Shen's carriage drove out of the office gate.
In Li Shimin's words, Li Shen was an outlier in the Li family. The Li family valued martial arts, and the Tang Dynasty also valued martial arts.
Even scholars can go to the battlefield, but Li Shen can't.
The men of the Li family mostly rode horses when they went out, but Li Shen preferred to ride in a car. He was too lazy and only rode a horse for a ride to show off.
A large number of people and horses marched forward with great pomp and circumstance, and the people along the way avoided them.
The large army headed west.
At the same time, in the central military tent of the Western Expedition Army, several important generals including Ashina She'er gathered there.
Ashina She'er had a sad look on his face.
"Have the scouts brought any news? When will Prince Ji arrive?" asked Ashina She'er, who was sitting in the middle.
"General, the servants just received news that His Royal Highness Prince Ji's troops have left the city and should be arriving soon."
Yang Hongli stood up and reported.
"Bijia, King Ji came here this time because of what you did. Don't forget what I told you last night.
For your own sake and for the sake of your people, you must confess your sins to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
Ashina She'er looked at a muscular young man of a foreign race at the back of the tent, his tone very serious.
"Yes, General."
The young man showed a look of reluctance on his face. He was Yaoluoge Pijia, one of the most promising young men in the Uighur tribe.
His father held a high position in the Uighur tribe, which also cultivated his unscrupulous character.
He always thought that the Uighur tribe had existed for so many years and had a strong military force, so why should they submit to the Tang Dynasty?
"Ya Luoge. Pijia, the general is right. For the sake of the Uighurs, you must confess your guilt.
I have some friendship with your father. Before I came here this time, he entrusted me to take good care of you.
You should know how hard it was for your father to get you this opportunity. This is the time to establish your prestige."
Qibi Heli, who was also from the Tiele tribe, spoke up. He could see that Yaoluoge Pijia was unwilling to accept his fate and didn't care about the young prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Qibi Heli knew this because Yaoluoge Pijia did not know King Ji and had never heard his elders talk about him.
He didn't know how terrifying King Ji was.
Yesterday, Ashina She'er had already reported back what King Ji had said, saying that Yaoluoge Pijia's actions could be left unattended.
On the surface, it seems magnanimous, but in reality, it means to sanction the entire Uighur tribe.
“Yes, General Yaoluoge, you were wrong this time. You concealed the truth and wanted to take His Royal Highness Prince Ji’s wealth for yourself.
He is a prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can we allow others to bully him at will?"
"I agree with General Han. Yaoluoge Pijia disobeyed military orders, killed people and robbed goods, and should be subject to military law.
Now, not only will we not pursue the matter, but we will only ask you to bow your head and apologize, which is already a special favor.
Don't try to challenge the might of the Tang Dynasty."
Han Wei and Cao Jishu, both of whom were from the Tang Dynasty, did not speak in as friendly a tone as the previous two. Prince Ji was a prince of the Tang Dynasty and represented the face of the Tang Dynasty.
How dare you, a barbarian, look down on the prince of the Tang Dynasty? Don’t you even take these Tang generals seriously?
How could the Tang people, who have always been arrogant and condescending, tolerate a barbarian's behavior?
Who gave you the courage to do this?
In their minds, if the barbarians are not convinced, they will beat them until they are convinced.
After hearing this, Yaoluoge Pijia glared at the two of them, which made Ashina She'er shake his head impatiently, thinking that he was full of young vigor.
I had no idea how much trouble I had gotten into.
Entering the city to loot is not a big deal, and even killing a few people is no big deal.
But you absolutely shouldn't have robbed Prince Ji's mansion of things and killed the people in Prince Ji's mansion.
If it was an accidental killing, if the attitude was better, King Ji would not investigate it too deeply. But looking at Yaoluoge Pijia's expression, it was clear that he did not take King Ji seriously at all. No one knew what the consequences would be.
Even though he had explained the interests involved to Yaoluoge Vijia, Yaoluoge Vijia still could not understand.
This kind of person cannot be described as stupid.
"Ya Luoge, Pijia, when you came, your father also asked me to take care of you.
That's why I told you so much.
The trouble you cause will not only affect you, but also the entire Yaoluoge family.
Prince Ji is ruthless. If he stops trading with the Uighurs and spreads the news, do you think other Uighur clans will be dissatisfied with your Yaoluoge tribe?
At that time, in order to appease King Ji's anger, they might even attack your Yaoluoge family.
You have to think about the consequences.”
Ashina She'er looked at Yaoluoge.Bijia and spoke earnestly.
He explained this for Yalag Viga not entirely for Yalag Viga, but for himself.
As the commander-in-chief of Kunqiu Road, if this incident happened in the army, would it become a stain when he returned to Chang'an City and affect his reward?
Will it also affect his future promotion in the Tang Dynasty court?
"Don't worry, General. I will apologize to King Ji and will not implicate the tribe." Yaoluoge Pijia nodded.
After hearing Ashina She'er say that it would bring trouble to their Khan family, Yaoluoge Pijia had no choice but to give in.
He had never expected that Prince Ji would have such great power.
The others were silent, no one offered any advice or comfort. They were just watching the fun, observing.
Especially the Tiele leaders who followed him, they would be happy to see Yaoluoge Pijia anger King Ji, and thus King Ji would take action against the Yaoluoge family.
This way their tribe would have the opportunity to fight for the Khan.
"I'm glad you understand. I will not let your father down." Ashina She'er nodded.
"Report to King Ji that the camp is two miles away."
(I saw a very good topic, Is the world fair? I want to express my opinion, I think the world is fair.)
