Chapter 22 The Farmer and the Snake

"The wind is strong on the grassland. Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Western Turks, both sides are distinguished guests of Ben Khan. How can they be neglected?" Yi Nan laughed and walked forward to try to pull the hands of envoys from both sides.

At first, everyone thought he wanted to borrow his authority and let the two envoys shake hands and make peace, but in fact they pulled his tent side by side to welcome the guests as the master.

Xie Yi actually didn't mind giving Yi Nan a step, but if he gave in at this time, wouldn't he admit that the Tang Dynasty was on par with the Western Turks?

Although it can be said in fact, there are still differences in name. Who asked the Western Turkic Khan to send people to Chang'an to pay tribute? Who made the Tang Dynasty take the face seriously?

This is a matter of principle!

Therefore, we must not compromise casually, so as not to damage the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. What Xie Yi is even more afraid of is that someone will use this matter as a handle to criticize him in the future.

The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty loved face, so they were criticized for not being a joke. I am afraid that Li Er would not forgive him, so it would be more than worth the loss.

Thinking about it now, those envoys who have been famous in history are extremely strong and unyielding, not necessarily have a firm heart, and are probably forced out by domestic public opinion.

Xie Yi was ready to reject Yi Nan, but Zhenzhu Khan was very sensible and took Xie Yi's hand first, and then clenched it tightly, with the meaning very clear.

There is a little difference in this subtle and small place. It is considered to be the supreme Tang Dynasty and the order is divided into some orders. Moreover, Yi Nan deliberately paused to make everyone see this scene clearly.

Forget it, this is pretty good, although not so obvious, at least it has the primary and secondary.

There is no need to continue to persevere. It is not good to have a quarrel when we first met. It is rare that Di Zhixun also agreed quite well, so there was no dissatisfaction among the Tang Dynasty.

As for the Western Turks, although the "Gourd" little Khan was very unhappy, the matter was over, and the Yi Nan had a clear attitude. What could he do? His mission had an important mission. It was not worth it to have an unhappy relationship with Xue Yantuo for some trivial matters. Everyone should consider the pros and cons and the overall situation!

So I had to bear this tone and talk about it all over again. The next thing is important and the highlight is not the least.

So Di Zhixun and Xie Yi took a small step forward and almost walked into Xue Yantuo's khan tent with the Western Turks.

Shi Lishi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a faint smile on his face, obviously very proud. However, Datushe, who was opposite, was so angry that he was both disappointed and angry.

The process of getting into the sweat tent is very simple, but it is complicated. But what about after entering? Any meaningful things that didn't happen were almost just a few greetings.

Xie Yi just went into the Khan tent and walked around it, probably looking at the gorgeousness of the Khan Xue Yantuo's reception tent.

The big tiger-skin chair, exquisite Persian carpet, gold and silver wine pots and glasses, and even decorated with a lot of gems. It is really dazzling.

It can be seen that Yi Nan's life is quite rich and luxurious. As for whether it is too luxurious, I don't know. Maybe it's just to save face and I specially brought it to the guests to show off.

It's just that such a luxurious scene is in sharp contrast to those simple, even ragged shepherds.

The rich people smell wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road. It seems that this kind of thing is a common phenomenon. It can be found everywhere.

Then they said that they would go back to arrange banquets to welcome the crowds in the evening, and then the delegations of the two countries were arranged to rest and disperse.

It is reasonable. After all, the serious day of birthday is not yet here, and apart from greetings, there seems to be nothing serious... No, there are many serious things, but it is not convenient to talk about this occasion now.

It doesn’t matter to Di Zhixun and Xie Yi. Anyway, the days are long and there is no rush. It’s really not a good phenomenon to get tense on the first day of arrival.

The Xueyantuo people were quite polite and arranged a large rest area for the Tang Dynasty mission, and the tents were all set up. The tents of Di Zhixun and Xie Yi and other distinguished guests were also covered with Persian carpets and gold and silver utensils.

What surprised Xie Yi even more was that there were silk bedding on the bed. Xueyantuo was really thoughtful and knew how to think about the guests!

Judging from this, will two women be arranged to warm the bed at night?

Forget it, I promised Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan that I would never touch the shepherd girl. In fact, this is the case. There were many grassland women on the way here, but most of them had a special smell, which was really unlucky to absorb.

It’s nice to have a clean residence and have a good rest. Don’t think about the ones around.

But it seemed a bit extravagant to rest at this moment. As soon as Xie Yi changed into a comfortable casual outfit, Di Zhixun came to him.

In this case, it is necessary for the two envoys to communicate more.

"Xiaoyao, the Western Turks are not good!" Di Zhixun sighed, his face no longer had the calmness and calmness he had in the big tent. In recent days, he and Xie Yi have become quite familiar with each other, so they use the word "face" to call each other when they meet.

Xie Yi said: "I had expected that the Western Turks would definitely not be at peace, and it was expected that the people who came were not good. This doesn't matter. What matters is the attitude of the Xueyantuo people. On Xueyantuo's territory, the Yinan would not directly cause direct conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks."

"That's true!" Di Zhixun nodded and said, "From today's situation, Yi Nan seems to be a little in awe of my Tang Dynasty."

"Maybe it is the best. If he has more awe and fear of the Tang Dynasty, we will save a lot of trouble. But if it is just on the surface, it is hard to say."

Xie Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Di, don't forget, we will also give Yi Nan a big gift. After this gift is given, it is really unpredictable what the attitude of the Zhenzhu Khan will be! Is it possible that God knows if he can still be as awe-inspiring and kind as today."

"No!" Thinking of the edict in the bag, Di Zhixun smiled helplessly. If Yi Nan likes and accepts the favor, it will be strange. At that time...

"There is no way. I can implement the strategies I have come up with a tough slap in it. Moreover, the imperial edict is now in hand, so I dare not resist the order."

Xie Yi said: "Besides, the situation may not be that bad. After all, as the imperial court expected, Yi Nan's two sons were indeed disagreement. It can be seen that the grand magnanimity was determined to be mixed with the Turks, and this sudden loss..."

Di Zhixun said optimistically: "Tulihu seems to agree with our Tang Dynasty. He admires the Tang Dynasty culture very much, and also means relying on the power of the Tang Dynasty."

Xie Yiyouyou said: "It seems that this is what it means. It seems to be a good thing for the time being. It may be helpful to us, but in the long run... Has Mr. Di heard the story of the farmer and the snake?" (To be continued...)
