The next day, noon.
Yin Shisan, as the envoy of the Great Tang, paid a visit to the fake Jie Li in the Khan's tent.
Other than the two of them, there were also Turkic officials of various levels, the relatives of the Jie Li, many members of the royal family, and the leaders of the tribes that had submitted to the Jie Li.
Because the fake Jie Li had always claimed that he was sick, a bead curtain was hung in front of him when he met Yin Shisan this time. This way, the nobles would not be able to determine if he was the real Jie Li Khan.
"The emissary of the Great Tang has traveled thousands of miles to come. This is enough to show the deep friendship between the Tang Lord Li Yuan and the Turks. To show our sincerity, we Turks are willing to offer 2000 good horses. Please bring them back to the Central Plains and show our respect to the Tang Lord!”
This was what Yin Shisan and the fake Jie Li had agreed on yesterday. This way, they would be able to get 2000 good horses.
"Khagan, no!"
However, at this moment, a muscular man with a full beard walked out and bowed to the fake Jie Li behind the bead curtain. Then, he put his hands on his waist and shouted at the top of his voice,"Our Turks have already reached an agreement with Liu Wuzhou to help him seize the Central Plains and rule over it. If we establish a relationship with Li Yuan now, wouldn't we be breaking our promise to Liu Wuzhou?”
Yin Shisan sneered in his heart. He knew that someone would come out to stop him, but he did not expect that it would be this person.
"This is General Sunis, right?”
Ashina Sunis, the uncle of the Jie Li Khan, was second only to the Jie Li within the Turkic ranks.
It was said that when Qimin Khan, the father of Jie Li Khan, was dying, he sent Ashina Suni to the northwest Tianshan Mountain to prevent Ashina Suni from losing the throne to his eldest son.
After that, Qimin Khan's eldest son succeeded to the throne as Shibi Khan. After the death of Shibi Khan, his younger brother Chuluo Khan succeeded to the throne. When Chuluo Khan passed away, Qimin Khan's youngest son, Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan's younger brother, Jie Li Khan, inherited the throne.
During this period, Ashina Sunis had been staying in Tianshan.
However, there was a rumor that the reason why Jie Li Khan was able to inherit the throne was because he had taken advantage of his brother Chuluo Khan's illness and drugged Chuluo's medicinal bait. And the person who gave Jie Li this idea was Ashina Suni.
Regardless of whether this rumor was true or false, after Jie Li became the Khan of the Turks, Ashina Suni returned to the king's tent and was put in an important position by Jie Li.
After that, as Jie Li Khan unified Mobei and gathered many tribes to his side, Ashina Suni's status rose as well, and his power soared. In addition, because he was the uncle of Jie Li Khan, his words were more important than the others.
For example, he was now opposing the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Turks and the Great Tang.
"Humph!" Ashina Sunishi saw Yin Shisan speak to him and snorted coldly,""I am Sunis. Go back and tell Li Yuan that our Turks will not give you good horses. Have Li Yuan wash his neck and wait for my scimitar to chop him off the wall.”
"Oh?" Yin Shisan was not in a hurry when he heard Ashina Sunishi's words. He smiled faintly and cupped his hands at Ashina Sunishi. He said in a sarcastic tone,""I only knew that the Turks had a Jie Li Khan, but I didn't think that General Sunishi could give orders in place of the Jie Li Khan. Could it be that the Turks have two suns in the sky?”
The Turks had always compared their Khan to the sun.
Yin Shisan said that there were two suns in the sky of the Turks, which was to point out that Ashina Suni wanted to be on equal footing with the Khan of Jie Li and wanted to usurp the position of Khan.
"You, you…"
Ashina Sunisi's eyes immediately widened. He angrily pulled out the scimitar at his waist and pounced towards Yin Shisan without any regard for anything else. He was about to kill Yin Shisan on the spot.
Fortunately, the other people around Sunis stopped him and advised him not to mess around in the king's tent.
Bang!
At the same time, from behind the bead curtain, Fake Jie Li directly threw out a golden knife inlaid with agate and jade. The golden knife landed at Ashina Sunis's feet. Seeing this, Ashina Sunis hurriedly threw away the scimitar in his hand and knelt on the ground with a terrified expression.
This golden saber inlaid with agate and jade was passed down from generation to generation by the Turkic Khans. It was equivalent to the imperial jade seal of the Central Plains dynasty. The fake Jie Li threw the golden knife to Ashina Sunis, and his meaning was obvious. If you want to kill the Great Tang envoy, why don't you pick up your golden saber, kill me, and become a Khan yourself?
Ashina Suni did not dare to take such a risk, so he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Humph!"
Fake Jie Li snorted coldly and stood up from behind the bead curtain. Without saying another word, he went straight to the small room behind the chair.
Ashina Suni knelt on the ground in fear. He didn't dare to stand up if the fake Jie Li didn't speak.
The other Turkic officials all left the Khagan's tent, and Wang Chang personally led Yin Shisan out to rest in a small tent.
After this matter, the Turks had decided to give the Great Tang two thousand good horses. Fake Jie Li silently threw the golden knife and "lost his temper" at Ashina Suni. The rest of the people saw it and did not dare to remonstrate even if they had objections in their hearts. They weighed their status, how could they compare to Ashina Sunis?
"The rest of the chaos is the Turk's family business. Now that we have the good horses, we will immediately return!”Yin Shisan muttered to himself as he sat in the tent.
At this moment, Yin Shisan suddenly noticed that Wang Chang had not left. He stood there in a daze, as if he had something to say.
"Lord Wang?"
Although Wang Chang was an official in the Turks, he was still a Han, so Yin Shisan had a good impression of him.
"Is there anything else?"
After Yin Shisan finished speaking, Wang Chang knelt on the ground with a thud." Lord Yin, I have a request!”
Seeing Wang Chang like this, Yin Shisan hurriedly stood up and helped him up. He asked in puzzlement,""Lord Wang, why do you have to be like this? Since we are from the same hometown, you can say whatever you want. How can Yin Shisan accept such a big bow?”
Wang Chang shook his head repeatedly, saying that Yin Shisan naturally deserved his bow. " Lord Yin," Wang Chang said to Yin Shisan," I would like to ask for your help to send my nephew's coffin back to the Central Plains and bury him in the Wang family's ancestral grave.”
Yin Shisan was stunned. He had not expected such a thing to happen. Sending coffins from thousands of miles away might have been taboo for others, but Yin Shisan was a transmigrator. His ideology was different from that of the ancient people. Therefore, after a short hesitation, he nodded and agreed." My condolences, Lord Wang. I'll accept this matter."”
"That's great, that's great." Wang Chang did not expect Yin Thirteen to be so straightforward. He quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and thanked him profusely."I'll go back now and tell my nephew.”
"Okay, you go…Hmm?"
Seeing Wang Chang turn around and leave, Yin Shisan reacted and grabbed his sleeve.
"Tell your nephew?"
"Yes, I am." Wang Chang nodded, and his expression turned strange. He thought Yin Shisan was going to go back on his word.
However, Yin Shisan's expression was even weirder than Wang Chang's." Isn't your nephew dead?”
"Not yet, but soon!" Wang Chang said.
Yin Shisan felt a chill down his spine. This was too strange, wasn't it?
