The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 683 Asking for Marriage
Chapter 683 Asking for Marriage
At the banquet, the ministers and Li Er were in harmony with the monarch and his ministers for a while, so that the son of East Turkic also began to have an idea.

After all, East Turkic has already paid so many tributes, and it is just a chance to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

"If the Western Turks also become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty in the future, wouldn't the Eastern Turks have wasted so much tribute!"

The eldest son of the Eastern Turks is relatively smart. Li Er didn't directly say that if he accepted the Eastern Turks, he would definitely reject the Western Turks.

This is undoubtedly a smoke bomb for the East Turkic prince.

As far as Li Er is concerned, since the East Turks can be included in the vassal state, then the West Turks should also be included.

There is no need for Datang to subdivide the Eastern and Western Turks. After all, the Eastern and Western Turks used to be Datang's enemies. Now that they both surrendered to Datang, how can Datang be picky?

The son of East Turkic was very hesitant.

"From what the King of Tang said, it seems that Eastern Turks can obtain the status of a vassal state, but the King of Tang did not expressly refuse to accept the Western Turks. I am afraid that they will still include the Western Turks as a vassal state in the future. Then the East Turks will be on the grassland and the West Turks in the future. Turkic conflicts, presumably no one in Tang Dynasty will help!"

"Isn't that the same as when there was no tribute before?"

The son of the Eastern Turks couldn't help being a little speechless, he had spent so much cattle, sheep, gold, territory, and promised to build six cities.

As a result, it seemed that Datang gave him a trick.

"If the status of Eastern Turks cannot lead that of Western Turks, then everything will be in vain!"

The eldest son of East Turkic thought this way, then gritted his teeth and said directly to Li Er: "Report to the king of Tang, there is still one thing that the guilty minister has not said!"

As soon as the East Turkic son said this, all the ministers pricked up their ears and cheered up, wanting to see what the Eastern Turkic son could say.

After all, these ministers are all like human beings. The son of East Turkic did not hesitate to pay so much, just to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.

This thing is unheard of.In the eyes of these ministers, the son of East Turk must have something to ask for, so he sent so many tributes.

If it is only a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, how can it be hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, a territory of hundreds of miles, and the construction of six cities?

This is not like being included in a vassal state, but more like compensation from the defeated country to the victorious country.

But since this thing is voluntary by the Turks, these ministers also pretended to understand in confusion.

The territory and cities given for free, Datang should not do it for nothing.

Li Er also frowned and thought: "Sure enough, my guess is correct. This East Turkic is willing to offer so many benefits to me. It must be something he wants, but I don't know whether it is big enough or not!"

And a group of ministers and ministers also discussed it.

Cheng Yaojin took the lead and said: "I said that these East Turks would not be so kind, there must be a conspiracy behind it! Now I finally have to take the initiative to speak up, I really can't change my shit!"

Yu Chigong said very disdainfully: "You old man, didn't you just scream the most fiercely, saying that Dongjue sincerely surrendered to my Tang Dynasty! Now you are the first one to betray me, you are really shameless old man!"

Cheng Yaojin also said angrily: "Yuchi is stupid, this is your fault, now that the enemy is in front of you, you still want to trouble me!"

Yu Chigong adjusted his tone and said: "That's natural. The Turkic barbarians are afraid of my Tang's national power. Now that they are willing to take the initiative to become my Tang's vassal state, they will naturally have to ask Datang to pay for it." Some price!"

The princes and ministers behind him also said: "Since the East Turkic has given out so many tributes, it is destined not to let these tributes go to waste, but I don't know what benefits this East Turkic son wants!"

The envoys of the Western Turks behind him looked at the eldest son of the Eastern Turks with great fear.

At the same time, I was wildly guessing in my heart: "What kind of request does this East Turkic son want to make? Does he want Datang to reject my Western Turkic family? If so, then the Eastern Turkic son is too insidious!"

Li Er waved his hand and said, "If there is anything you haven't said, just say it!"

The eldest son of East Turkic breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, he said under the watchful eyes of all the ministers: "To the king of Tang, the sinful minister has sincerely surrendered to Datang and decided to become a vassal of Datang in the future." China, learning the culture and language of the Tang Dynasty, but the criminals are dull in nature and always can't understand some things, I hope the king of Tang can reward a princess from the Tang Dynasty to come to East Turkic to marry me."

"On the one hand, it can promote the relationship between my Eastern Turks and the Tang Dynasty; secondly, it can prove that the Tang Dynasty treats the vassal states as its own people, and it is enough to make the people of the Turks and the Tang Dynasty love the King of Tang very much! I implore the King of Tang Mingjian!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers below were completely stunned.

Originally thought that East Turkic was really going to surrender to Datang, but now it actually wants the princess of Datang to go to East Turkic to get married.

"Sure enough, these Eastern Turkic barbarians have premeditated plans."

These ministers had an idea in their hearts.

And Li Er was also completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the East Turkic would want the princess to marry him again.

"Could it be that Princess Changle wasn't sent to Turkic before, so that people from Eastern Turkic have been peeping until now?"

Li Er has learned from the past, so he is naturally very sensitive to this topic now.

However, Li Lizhi, who was sitting on the chair, could not help but hold Bai Jingyi's hand tightly after hearing the words of the East Turkic envoy.

East Turkic wants to get married, I am afraid that the experience of anyone present is not as much as that of Princess Changle.

A seven-year-old girl was actually going to be sent to Turkic by the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and her father to marry those barbarians.

It's hard to imagine how much humiliation this Princess Changle will suffer.

Bai Jingyi clenched Li Lizhi's little hand, and the warmth was transmitted through the palm.

Li Lizhi looked at Bai Jingyi with some panic in her eyes, but Bai Jingyi looked at East Turkic very calmly.

Li Lizhi thought in her heart: "Could it be that the son-in-law has decided to protect me? Yes! The son-in-law will definitely protect me from being snatched by these Turkic people!"

Thinking of Li Lizhi here, she couldn't help but let go of bad memories from the past.

And the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty began to discuss in low voices.

"The barbarians of the Eastern Turks really didn't have good intentions. They actually wanted my princess from the Tang Dynasty to marry into that barbarian land!"

"Presumably this is also a tactic to delay the attack. In order to get the support of my Tang Dynasty, I want to get married!"

"The Holy Majesty will definitely not agree, after all the former Princess Changle..."
