221、Begging for Hanmin (Part 1)

Soon, Emperor Li Shimin's meaning was quickly transmitted to the Turkic Inn in Dingxiang City through carrier pigeons. Jing Wen, the envoy to the Turkic Republic, also received it. When Jing Wen saw the message from the emperor, he immediately showed a bitter smile. This job is not easy to handle!

"It's such a scam! If you don't pay a penny, you want to return those people. Are you so kind to those Turks? Although I can get promoted and become hereditary, is this job so easy to do?" Jing Wen complained.

Jing Wen was speechless about Li Shimin's thoughts, because Li Shimin was like an iron rooster, and he was silent. Although Li Shimin was willing to touch the army to suppress the border and threaten the Turks at any time, he was unwilling to use the money to redeem the Han people, so the Turks would probably not agree. If they really did this, the war would inevitably break out. But the current situation was like this, and both sides did not want to start fighting at this time. They were all fighting wolves with scoops - both ends were afraid.

"What an iron rooster!" Jing Wen cursed.

When Cheng Lin saw this thing, he said helplessly: "The emperor was because he spent money to ask the Turks to withdraw his troops last year, so he felt an insult. But if he still had to spend money to redeem these people this time, he would probably feel even more insults. Therefore, the emperor ordered that money should not be spent, but that money could not be redeemed publicly. Therefore, your responsibility is very serious. Not only did you have to pay back these people, but this would be a happy ending. Even if you take a step back, you should not spend money on the surface."

After all, Cheng Lin was adopted by the Cui family since she was a child, so she knew much more about this kind of political things than Jing Wen. So Cheng Lin could initially see that Li Shimin was unwilling to spend money again because of face reasons. But she wanted to redeem the Han people so that the people could return to their hearts. However, this matter was a contradictory problem, so Li Shimin could not solve it, so he could only give it to Jing Wen. If this kind of thing was done well, Li Shimin would have the greatest contribution to it. If he failed, it would be Jing Wen's sin. This kind of political method, Li Shimin had already used perfection.

"Damn, is it so good to be an emperor? We ministers are busy with work, using our brains and legs, and we have to take the blame at critical moments. The salary is so small. It's so fucking to lose." Jing Wen complained.

"Be careful, be careful! If this is said, you may be impeached." Cheng Lin said.

Although Jing Wen was very helpless, the emperor had to do the things assigned by the emperor. Otherwise, there would be no good results. This time, if you spend a penny, you can get back more than 100,000 Han people. Although this matter is very difficult, if you do it well, the benefits will be very great. If you can save these more than 100,000 Han people, it would be a matter of immeasurable merit. At that time, Jing Wen could completely become a political star in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, who dared to say that Jing Wen was a chef, so he could not be promoted? If someone dared to say this, then countless people would probably spray him to death!

The future is bright and the process is tortuous. Jing Wen has no choice but to find the great traitor, national teacher Zhao Deyan.

"Master Zhao, now I am the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to the Turks, and I plan to give you a note. We want to discuss the matter about the Han people who were looted by the Turks to the grassland as slaves. This negotiation is very important. If we ignore it, we will break out of war. This time I am definitely not a joke. My Tang army is ready to assemble. Please take it seriously and carefully!" Jing Wen said.

After hearing this, Zhao Deyan also felt that Jingwen was different this time. Moreover, Jingwen proposed the word "war" this time, but it was extremely heavy, unlike the reason used to be used for blackmail. Now the word "war" is the two words. Jingwen is very serious and even pointed out that the army is gathering and ready to go to war at any time. This time, Zhao Deyan had to pay attention, and he immediately notified Jie Li Khan.

"Khan, the Tang Dynasty envoy Jing Wen has officially notified me that he would discuss the Han people in the Turkic territory. Even this time they raised a war threat. And this time it is not necessarily just an ordinary blackmail, but a war is going to be really carried out. The Tang Dynasty is already mobilizing its troops and preparing to engage in the war. I'm afraid that it won't take long to get the news." Zhao Deyan said.

After hearing this, Jie Li immediately said angrily: "These Han people are really trying hard to get more and more. We have given them enough things, but they are still so unsatisfied? These slaves are our wealth and have been distributed. How can we still come back? You said, if these slaves are returned, what impact will our Turks have?"

"Khan, if these Han people were allowed to return to China, we may have insufficient human resources. And these are already our 'wealth', so where can we give it to others easily? So, we cannot give it to it!" said a Turkic nobleman next to him.

"Yes! Why should the Han people go back?" "These are our slaves, why should they be returned?"...

These Turkic nobles all turned into robbers, obviously thinking that the Han people they stolen were their slaves and their wealth. If you want to spit out your wealth alone, then this would be more uncomfortable than killing them. They are reluctant to give it up now.

"But, the Han army is coming soon! What should we do? Xue Yantuo's matter has not been resolved yet. Recently, Xue Yantuo has become stronger and stronger. Do we still have to fight on two fronts? It is all you idiots that Xue Yantuo will become stronger and stronger. If Xue Yantuo can be wiped out as soon as possible, why do we have to end up in such a difficult situation?" Jie Li said angrily.

Jie Li was so angry that he was afraid of these guys. If it weren't for the damn Xue Yantuo, Jie Li wouldn't have to make such a difficult situation. Now Xue Yantuo has not decreased, but has grown stronger and stronger. As one goes up and down, the "ethnic minorities" on the grassland became restless when they saw this situation. The Turks are not the only ethnic group on the grassland, but in fact the Turks are just the main ethnic group on the grassland. There are also a large number of ethnic minorities here, and they may not necessarily obey the rule of the Turks.

Now Xue Yantuo rebelled, but the Turks could not suppress it. If they fought with the Tang Dynasty again at this time, those guys would definitely celebrate and rebel one after another. If it weren't for these things, I'm afraid Jie Li would have long wanted to fight with the Tang Dynasty and let out a good vent!
