Outside the palace, Ashina Chilifushe entered the palace for the second time. When he entered the palace for the first time, he found that the grandeur of Daxing Palace was beyond imagination.

The majestic palace guards stood in awe, and the servants walked in groups through the corridors of the palace in a light rhythm, but everyone was silent. The layers of the palace were like giant dragons, and he couldn't bear the weight of them. Dare to look up.

When he entered the Daxing Palace again, Ashina Chilifushe was still shocked by the Daxing Palace. Looking at the Qianqiu Palace in front of him, which was just a side hall, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Compared with this, the Khan's Palace in Baicheng, the Khan's court in southern Turkestan, was built in imitation of Daxing Palace. How is it any different from a thatched house?

If he hadn't been the second Turkic prince who was guilty of a crime, he would have wanted to become an official in the Sui Dynasty.

revenge?

What to take revenge for?

The important thing is that now he can't even decide whether to live or die.

Although the sage Khan has not condemned him to this day, and his father has never said anything, from the moment he was thrown into the prison car by his father, he knew that he had become a victim of the Turks' Western Expedition to the Great Lakes Region and offended the Sui Dynasty.

For the sake of the Eastern Turks, his father handed him over to the Sui Dynasty for slaughter, just like paying tribute to a sheep.

Is Ashina Lifushu willing to do so? Of course not. But everyone has arrived in Daxing City and has long been separated from his father. While his father was enjoying the delicious food, he and Zhi Shihao were killed, and more than a dozen of his close soldiers were killed. They were placed in a posthouse and didn't even have the freedom to go out.

Even if he is unwilling to give in, what can he do?

At this moment, a chamberlain came out and said coldly in front of the temple: "The saint Xuan Ashina is here to pay an audience!"

"As you command!" Ashina Lifushu pressed one hand on his chest, bowed to the chamberlain, then stepped onto the jade steps in front of the palace, and walked into this palace where he wanted to stay forever, but could never last forever.

When he entered the palace gate, the first thing he saw was Yang Guang, who was high above him. Then, he saw Yang Ji, who had driven him from the clouds into the dust. When his eyes touched Yang Ji, he only felt the other person's face. His gaze was like a sharp arrow, making his hair stand on end.

While thinking about it, Ashina Qilifushi quickly saluted Yang Guang and said: "Ashina Qilifushi kowtows to the sage Khan."

Yang Guang raised his hand slightly and said coldly: "Ping Shen!"

Ashina immediately stood up straight and bowed deeply to Yang Ji. Yang Ji bowed slightly in return.

Seeing Ashina Chilifushe's frightened look, Yang Guang was very satisfied. It seemed that being held in solitary confinement and ignoring Ashina Chilifushe's behavior was not in vain.

Yang Guang looked at him blankly for a while, and said in very standard official language: "As for the Sui Dynasty, our Sui Dynasty has always valued peace, being good to our neighbors, and being partners with our neighbors. Mutual benefit and reciprocity are our pursuit. Not long ago, although the two sides had a small misunderstanding in the Great Lakes region, this did not affect the good-neighborly and friendly relations between the Sui Dynasty and East Turkestan. I have already made it clear to Khan Qimin about this matter."

When Ashina Lifushu heard this, she suddenly felt happy.

If so, can I return to the Turks alive?

Thinking of this, the figure facing Yang Guang became a little shorter and his attitude became more respectful!

Yang Guang looked at the second Turkic prince who had become decadent, and suddenly said seriously: "Ashina Qilifu is willing to accept the title!"

Ashina Chilifushe was thinking about how to fight for the opportunity to return to China. When Yang Guang said this, he immediately trembled and bowed excitedly: "Ashina Chilifushe is here!"

Ashinatlifushu was full of expectations and did not know what position the sage Khan would give him.

Yang Guang had a solemn look on his face: "Ashena Qilifushe is young and brave, possessing wisdom and bravery. He is a rare talent. We specially make him the General of Zhenbei and confer him the title of Duke of Rinan County."

Ashinatlifushe was stunned when he heard this.

His father, Qimin Khan, was canonized by the Sui Dynasty. He not only regarded himself as a Sui minister, but also made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty. However, his status in the Sui Dynasty was only at the level of a county king. As for his brother Ashina Duoji, he even

He had no official position in the Sui Dynasty. Now, the sage Khan actually named him General Zhenbei and Duke of Rinan County.

Such a reward was something he had never dreamed of. He quickly knelt on the ground and bowed his head in a prostrate manner, saying, "I, Ashina, have since thanked the sage Khan for his grace. I will be loyal to the Sui Dynasty. I will be loyal to you."

To the sage Khan, who has guarded the border for the Sui Dynasty for generations, his loyalty and filial piety are as heavy as Mount Tai, as deep as the Yangtze River, and the sun can tell!"

When Yang Ji saw this, he couldn't help but admire:

This guy is worthy of being the Chuluo Khan in the history of Eastern Turks. His flexible attitude and acting skills alone are not something ordinary people can possess. If Ashina Lifushu hadn't died inexplicably during his personal expedition to Bingzhou, I'm afraid he would have

Familiar historical facts will be greatly changed. Despite this, after his death, Li Yuan and his son still treated Shibi Khan like a filial son and grandson, wearing sackcloth and filial piety for him.

Throughout thousands of years of history, apart from the two brothers, the only foreign "emperor" who has enjoyed such honors is Yelu Deguang, whom Shi Jingtang calls his father.

Yang Guang seemed to be moved by Ashina Qilifushe's sincerity. He nodded and said: "I hope you can be a bridge between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks, and make suggestions for the peace and friendship of the people on both sides, so that the East Turks can be prosperous in the world.

Be loyal to the Sui Dynasty from generation to generation."

When Ashina Lifushu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. From these words, he heard what the sage Khan meant by making him the lord of the Eastern Turks.

Yang Guang said: "Get up!"

"I would like to thank the sage Khan!" Ashina Lifushu got up, and his whole demeanor seemed to have changed.

"The Khitans are not provocative to me in the Sui Dynasty. I have appointed King Wei to go north and lead the Turkic warriors to teach the Khitans a profound lesson. I hope you will fully cooperate with King Wei!" Yang Guang glanced at him meaningfully and said: "As long as you gain a foothold.

For meritorious service, let alone a county prince, I will not hesitate to confer a title on him as a prince or a prince."

Ashina Qilifushe solemnly saluted and said: "Thank you very much to the sage Khan for your trust. I will definitely live up to the sage Khan's love. I will definitely obey the orders of the king of Wei."

In fact, he knew that Yang Guang was planning to use the power of the Turks to deal with the Khitan, but firstly, the position of the Great Khan was too tempting; secondly, he, the second prince, had been fighting openly and secretly with his brother, and both sides regarded the other as a thorn in the side, but he was in the Great Lakes Region

, Mrs. Fan’s city has lost 80% to 90% of its strength. Once my brother ascends to the position of Great Khan, he will definitely die.

But if the sage Khan recognized him and made him the next Great Khan, even his father would have to recognize him. Although his brother now has a dominant family in East Turkestan, his current backing is stronger and bigger. As long as he returns

In the future, by showing the edict and seal of the Sui Dynasty conferring him, he can win over some tribal chiefs who are loyal to their father and have witnessed the Sui Dynasty's military battles.

He believed that with his own ability, as long as he had a position to display his talents, and as long as the enemy was not the Sui Dynasty, he could make achievements that would satisfy the sage Khan. The greater his achievements, the greater the help he received.

He didn't care what people said about him, because the Eastern Turks themselves were vassals of the Sui Dynasty, and even the Great Khan had to accept the canonization of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, there was actually no shame in him serving the Sui Dynasty, which dominated the world.

As for the rest, it's not important.

As for the future, we will talk about it later.

Yang Guangmao said happily: "The Duke of Rinan County understands the great righteousness, so I will give you a thousand sword handles and three thousand pieces of silk."

Ashina Tlifushe was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, sage Khan!"

He doesn't care much about silk and other things, but Heng Dao is too important to him.

The Hengdao adopts the unique steel-wrapping method of the Central Plains. The steel is wrapped around the wrought iron and forged together. The sword forged in this way has the hardness and lethality of steel while retaining the good flexibility of wrought iron.

The probability of damage to the sword is reduced. During the quenching process, a unique method of covering the blade with soil and burning it is adopted.

, that is, a layer of soil composed of a special substance is applied to the parts other than the blade, and then heated and quenched together. At the moment of quenching in cold water, the blade other than the soil material cools quickly and becomes hard, while the covered soil cools down.

Slowly, the knife maintains better flexibility, and finally becomes a knife with a balance of strength and softness.

The reason why it can be widely popular in the Central Plains army is not only its performance of combining hardness and softness, but also the main reason is that the powerful enemies of the Central Plains dynasty are nomads, and the nomads can't even wear metal armor for many generals, let alone ordinary soldiers. So in

In this combat environment, the main task of the knife is to "cut vegetables"; in order to meet this requirement, craftsmen modified the Han Dao (Huanshou Dao), expanded the blade, and increased the knife's ability to break leather and armor.

The power of cutting meat.

However, if the horizontal sword is facing Central Plains soldiers wearing armor, its practicality is not very high. In actual combat, if it cuts against a broad-backed sword with a sharp front and a slanted back, or a thick-backed sword, it will get stuck in the broad-backed sword.

knives, thick-backed knives with blades that are either technically equally wide

Use a back knife or a thick back knife to cut off; if it cuts on the armor, several knives will not kill the person; if it is stabbed hard on the armor, a hard object such as a breast shield may break. This is what Yang Ji dares to sell.

Hengdao, the fundamental reason why the four Western Turkic tribes like to buy Hengdao.

If Ashinaqlifushu obtained these thousand sharp horizontal knives, he would be able to form a direct army that would look down on the Turks. No wonder he was overjoyed.

"You go back and recuperate first, and wait for the call from King Wei. Later, I will have someone send you the letter of appointment and the seal." Yang Guang said calmly.

"I'm sorry to leave!" Ashina Lifushu saluted, walked out of the hall, looked at the clear sky, felt light all over, and said in a low voice with high morale: "I finally got through it!"

At this moment, Ashina Qilifushu was in high spirits.

.

.

In the palace!

Yang Guang moved his gaze away from Ashina Qilifushe's brisk back and asked Yang Ji: "Comparing before and after, what do you think?"

Yang Ji stroked his short beard on his chin and squinted his eyes and said: "There is a poem praising Ashina Qilifushe: In the past, it is not enough to praise the sordidness, but now there is no limit to the dissolute thoughts. The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."

Yang Guang showed a strange look on his face: "The poem is good, and it is in line with the performance of Ashina Qilifushe, but what kind of flower is your 'Chang'an flower'?"

Yang Ji smiled slightly and said with an expression of "I know a lot": "Beauty flower, Jie Yu flower, the meat flower in the south of Pingkangfang, in short, whichever flower you think is dirty is that kind of flower."

Yang Guang said calmly: "You tell me, you are quite knowledgeable! It seems that our King Wei has been outside during this period, wandering around in flowers and flowers, right?"

Yang Guang spoke very calmly, but Yang Ji felt a creepy feeling in his ears. Just when he was about to refute, he heard Yang Guang say in a malicious voice: "That's good, I'll give it to you."

How about a hundred 'beautiful maids'?"

"Come on!" Yang Ji thought of the weird 'beautiful maid' that Yang Guang and the others gave him, and he rejected it grandly: "A woman will only affect the speed of my meritorious service, so don't forget it!"

Yang Guang suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise: "Honestly, are you afraid of A Ying?"

"I, Aye, are afraid of my daughter-in-law, and my uncle is even more afraid, so being afraid of my daughter-in-law is a fine tradition of our old Yang family! Even if I am really afraid of Aying, it is not shameful. What's more, I am not afraid of her." Yang Ji said confidently

: "And you are the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but you only have one wife and three concubines. Apart from the uncle, is there any other emperor like you? How dare you say that I am afraid of my wife?"

"..." For a moment, Yang Guang was speechless.

When Yang Ji saw that Yang Guang was dumbfounded, he immediately felt proud and said arrogantly: "Look at Chen Xu. Although he only has half of the country, he has accomplished the feat of having forty sons. You are a wise and mighty saint.

Khan, you can’t even do this little thing, right?”

"Little things?" Yang Guang was angry and amused when he heard this: "It is not an exaggeration to say that a feat like Chen Xu's is unprecedented. Who can do it? Moreover, can the wise and divine warriors be compared like this?"
