Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2008 Zhao Deyan!

Floor mats were set up in the main hall of the General’s Mansion, and a roasted yellow lamb with an oily aroma was placed between the two of them. , placed on a plate in front of the two of them.

The dish is a dipping sauce made of salt, pepper, cumin and other spices. A piece of meat is pierced with a knife, rolled in it, and chewed in the mouth. The sheep fat will flow into the mouth, and the spicy spices will be strong in the mouth. Tossing in his mouth, taking another sip of the mellow grape wine, Ashina Simo sighed contentedly.

"This time I was ordered by the emperor to return to Dingxiang. The matter was rushed and I didn't make preparations in time. Otherwise, I would definitely bring back a copper hot pot so that my husband could taste the deliciousness. The tender mutton was cut into slices as thin as cicada wings. One by one, put it into the boiling soup for a few times and then put it in your mouth, the taste... tsk tsk."

While entertaining the old man, Ashina Simo recalled Chang'an's delicacies. It seems that only hot pot can show its delicate and delicious lamb meat from snacks to big ones.

He hasn't eaten such a simple barbecue for many years, but he doesn't miss it much. Relatively speaking, it is still the exquisite food of Tang Dynasty, which is more in line with his appetite.

Opposite him, the old man was slowly chewing the delicious mutton, with a look of enjoyment on his face. Hearing this, he swallowed the mutton, took a sip of grape wine, and said with a smile: "The life of the Khan in the Han family , obviously very happy, but I don't know if there is a feeling of being too happy?"

Ashina Simo twitched his eyebrows, chewing his food, and remained silent.

"Happy not to miss Shu" refers to Liu Chan, the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty. It is okay to use it to comment on others, but it is obviously not meaningful when used to describe him Ashina Simo.

Does it mean that the demise of the Shu Han has been decided, so why not just enjoy eating and drinking in the enemy's house, no matter how many moths are raised, it will not help?

Or is it that he is blindly greedy for pleasure and has long forgotten the glory and hatred of the Ashina family?
Ashina Simo didn't dare to open his mouth without authorization, and sighed in his heart, he was indeed the national teacher who treated each other with respect as a teacher for two generations of khans, and was extremely intelligent, it wasn't him who was trying to figure it out...

The old man didn't seem to care about Ashina Simo's answer, he ate and drank calmly, his goose skin and white hair seemed to have passed his age, but his body was very strong, his teeth were surprisingly good, he ate meat and drank alcohol , The appetite is not inferior to that of a man in his prime.

One was full of preoccupations, the other was eating and drinking, and there was a strange silence in the hall for a while...

When the banquet was over, the maid brewed a pot of strong tea and brought it up. The servants placed burning charcoal pots in the four corners of the hall. The fragrant tea curled up, warming and dispelling the severe cold in northern Xinjiang.

The two sat cross-legged, Ashina Simo served tea to the old man with his own hands, and asked, "Where is your husband for so many years, why is there no news at all?"

The old man didn't answer, but just picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea fragrance gently, narrowed his cloudy old eyes slightly, and praised: "The fragrance is clear but not demonic, and the color is bright green. Just this color, in the bitter cold Saibei, you can drink tea." It makes people feel like a spring breeze. Tang people are so talented, and I don’t know who created this tea-making method, which will surely be a blessing for future generations.”

As if he hadn't felt a little awkward about the old man's talkative manner, Ashina Simo smiled and said: "The person who created this tea-making method is the second son of Fang Xuanling, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Fang Xuanling was clean all his life, Good at economics, as soon as this method came out, it became popular in the north and south and sold overseas, and the Fang family also became one of the richest households in the Tang Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the richest in the world."

The old man nodded slowly, took a sip of tea, savored the sweetness slowly, and finally exhaled after a long time, saying: "In these years, the old man has traveled all over the desert and wasteland, and he also stayed at the border of the Great Tang for a short time. The situation is considered to be somewhat understood. Fragrant and fragrant tea, crystal clear glass, white and thin bamboo paper... all kinds of changes are really jaw-dropping and overwhelming."

Adding water to the old man's teacup, Ashina Simo said sincerely: "Mr. is getting old, and it's not like the old days when he galloped on horses and galloped with pride. Why don't you go to Tang Dynasty to find the younger generation? Back then, Mr. had something to say to my father. The grace of saving lives is also beneficial to enlightenment to the juniors, who have always regarded Mr. as their parents, and they should take care of Mr. every day."

"Hehehe..."

The old man let out a hearty laugh, then stared into Ashina Simo's eyes, and said word by word: "The Turkic people all over the world say that the old man harmed Jieli Khan and even the entire Khanate. If it weren't for the old man who went against the grain and blindly reformed, the Turkic people were skilled in bow and horse, and were brave and good at fighting. How could they be defeated by the Tang people under the shadowy mountains... Why, you, a descendant of the Ashina family, don't have any resentment in your heart. You hate the old man for killing you The khanate slaughtered the heroic spirits who paid homage to their ancestors?"

The cold wind outside the window was howling, and the candles in the lobby were flickering.

Holding the teacup in his hand, Ashina Simo was silent for a moment, then smiled suddenly, and said: "Back then, Chuluo Khan said that I have red hair, blue eyes, and a different face. I am not like the Ashina family, but I am more Like a barbarian, so even if it is the closest blood relationship, I was only given the false title of 'Jiabitqin', and I was not allowed to control the army, let alone set up a tooth tent! How many tribesmen laughed at me because of this? A shame in my life! But now, as you can see, all the people who were trusted and valued by him in the past have died and fled, and the huge khanate that runs through the north and south, and the east and west is falling apart, and the noble Chuluo Khan and Jieli Khan, their clansman, has to rely on me, a scoundrel who is not like the Ashina family, to obtain a lingering piece of land! Sometimes, I often think, if one day I see those two in the Changshengtian Khan, I will definitely go up and ask, when you humiliated me in the past, did you ever think that your noble descendants can survive only by relying on me to surrender to the Tang people? Hehe, haha, presumably those two The Khan's face must be very exciting, but I don't know if they will feel ashamed..."

Such words, as a general in the Tang Dynasty, naturally cannot be said, even in Dingxiang, surrounded by Turkic people, such words of contempt for the Khan can only cause confusion.

But in front of this old man, he spoke freely and vented fiercely!
The accumulation of accumulation in my heart for many years, once vented out, the joy is unspeakably beautiful, Ashinas wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to the old man with a smile: "You, Zhao Deyan, are a gift from heaven to the Turkic people. The wise man! In my opinion, Lu Dongzan, who is known as the number one wise man in Tubo but was manipulated by a dude in the Tang Dynasty, is not worthy to lift your shoes! Youdao is a hero made by the times, you are just born out of luck It’s just a matter of time, if it wasn’t for the rapid rise of the Tang Dynasty, as long as you give you a little time, the current Turks may have already stepped on the Great Wall and herded horses south of the Yangtze River!”

"Hehe... But some people always say that the old man's tyrannical government was like a tiger in the past, which was the root cause of the chaos of the Khanate. In the battle of Yinshan, the Khanate was defeated and lost, and the Khan was also taken away by the Tang people. To kill the old man... If it wasn't for the fear of being chopped into meat, how could the old man not dare to show his face for so many years?"

The old man smiled and said slowly.

Ashina Simo waved his hand, and said proudly: "Why do you care about those dirty things? In the past, the younger generation was weak and could not protect the husband well. From now on, if anyone dares to say that you are a traitorous minister of the Turks, the younger generation will be the first." You broke his neck! Others don’t know, I have been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and I know that the set of strict laws you enforced in Turkic, sir, is the foundation of the prosperity of the Khanate! The reason why the Khanate fell is not because of the sir, It's not about Khan, it's about God's will! God's will is hard to violate, what can we ordinary people do?"

In his opinion, how can a country be strong?This seems to be a difficult topic, but it is very simple. As long as the strict laws are enacted and the whole country abides by them, the foundation of a strong country is already established, and the rest is perseverance. In the past year, the embryonic form of a powerful country has been solidified!

Great Qin, Great Han, Great Tang, all of them are like this!

Without the constraints of the law, with the Turkic people's undisciplined character, even if they are arrogant for a while, they will never be able to become a powerful country like the Han people.

Therefore, Zhao Deyan's actions back then were completely correct!

However, after he finished speaking impassionedly, he heard Zhao Deyan sigh quietly, and said softly: "Khan, you are really naive, oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. The leaves are similar, but the taste is different. So why? The water and the soil are different. In the Tang Dynasty, it may be the foundation of a powerful country, but in the Turkic... how do you know that it is not the root of the disaster? How can you be sure that those who want to kill me are wrong? ?”

Ashina Simo was dumbfounded, he couldn't understand what he said...

Lord Wolf!

Will this person admit that he was harming the Turkic Khanate back then? !
