Li Shi Min placed his hands behind his back and looked at the crowd as he issued an edict.
"In the name of the Great Tang Emperor, We confer upon Yi Nan the title of Khan and establish the Xue Yantuo Khaganate. We will set a date to attack the Turks together with the Great Tang.”
"If Xue Yantuo's tribe has rendered meritorious service in exterminating the Turks, I promise to send Princess Xinxing to Mobei when she reaches adulthood, and the two countries will become allies by marriage.”
Supporting Xue Yantuo and suppressing the Turks was within the ministers 'expectations.
However, he did not expect that the Emperor would even promise to send one of his daughters to a marriage alliance. It could be seen that he had spent a lot of money.
"Tell Qiao Shiwang that this edict can only be seen by Yi Nan and must not be leaked to avoid alerting the Turks.”
"As for when to start the war, Medicine Master, you decide.”
Li Shi Min's last words were directed at Li Jing.
Li Jing counted the days and said firmly,""On the 5th day of the 12th month, it was snowing heavily in the north of the desert. Jie Li Khagan would never have guessed that the Great Tang would send troops at this time.”
Li Shiming did not say anything. Zhangsun Wuji began to draft the edict and filled in the date of the 5th of December.
The imperial edict was sealed and placed in a bamboo tube. It was also sealed by Khan Yinan and handed over to the cavalry scout in charge of Qiao Shiwang.
The cavalrymen scouts took the items and left, sending them to the north of the desert.
If the Great Tang and Xue Yantuo joined forces, the Turks would surely perish.
Everyone felt relieved, and the atmosphere in the room was no longer so serious.
"State Duke Liang's plan is still effective, you've done a great service this time.”Zhangsun Wuji cupped his hands at Fang Xuanling.
"I wasn't sure either, but Princess Chang Le is well-informed.”
Fang Xuanling was humble, not daring to take all the credit.
Li Shi Min nodded slightly and asked the guards to bring Chang Le over, wanting to reward him.
Changle didn't know why his father had summoned him, but when he entered the room, he learned that Xue Yantuo really had a grudge with the Turks. At this moment, the Tang Empire had already contacted Xue Yantuo.
She immediately smiled. It was not because her father wanted to reward her, but because Yang Chen's prediction had come true.
"Changle, you have successfully helped my father, what reward do you want?”
"Imperial Father, this was all Brother Yang's idea. Your son didn't do anything.”
Now that the hunter boy had guessed correctly, Li Shiming naturally wouldn't be stingy with the reward.
"I want to reward him with a hundred strings. What do you think?”
Chang Le was originally quite happy when he heard this, but if his father really rewarded Yang Chen with a hundred strings of money, then her identity would be exposed.
Chang Le still wanted to call Yang Chen brother, so he made up a lie and said,"
"Imperial Father, money is just too mundane. Your son knows that you have two jars of aged wine in the Spiritual State. Brother Yang might like it."
This made Li Shimin angry, while Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui stared at Chang Le.
These two jars of wine had been kept for ten years. They had originally planned to celebrate with Li Shimin and the ministers when the Turks were destroyed.
"Go and carry a jar."
Li Shiming waved his hand reluctantly. Chang Le left happily, tied the wine to the date red horse, and ran out of the city.
"Brother Yang? You're quite affectionate!"
Li Shi Min looked at the departing figure and snorted heavily. He felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, it's good to let Changle go out and relax. She should be marrying Chong-er next year.”
Zhangsun Wuji stood next to Li Shiming and murmured.
Back then, she was still a babbling baby girl. Now, she was a graceful and graceful young lady.
If Chong-er marries Chang Le, the Zhangsun Manor will surely prosper for a long time.
Li Shimin believed that Zhangsun Wuji treated her like his own daughter.
However, Zhangsun Chong, that weak little scholar, felt unreliable!
.......
In the past half a month, Yang Chen could be said to have lived as usual. He searched for prey in the mountains every day and occasionally thought of that good-natured rich girl.
[Hunting Points: 513/1000]
However, he was still researching a skill, Master Beast Taming.
Previously, he had accumulated 10 hunting points, and the system had given him Master Level Archery. After accumulating 100 hunting points, the system had given him Master Level Beast Taming.
This beast taming technique was quite magical. It could actually communicate with animals and even had its own affinity.
The rabbit in the bamboo cage in his hand was the test subject.
"Hey, are you hungry?"
Yang Chen squatted down and threw the cage on the ground. He looked at the big-eared gray rabbit inside.
The big-eared gray rabbit cooed, meaning," I'm starving, I'm starving.”
A few weeds were stuffed into the gaps of the bamboo cage, and the big gray rabbit finished eating the weeds with a click. It even looked at Yang Chen with a longing expression.
At first, Yang Chen did not dare to believe it either, but this skill was indeed awesome.
Yang Chen could talk to his donkey, Uncle Zhang's bamboo rat, and Old Li's old cow. He could even make the animals do things that were not too overboard.
Of course, in this half a month, Yang Chen also did one thing, which was to hoard wolf skin.
Wolf skin was divided into high-grade and low-grade. High-grade wolf skin was mostly light yellow with long fur and thick fur. Low-grade wolf skin was mostly greenish gray with less messy fur.
He already had 18 pieces of high-grade wolf skin and 28 pieces of low-grade wolf skin at home.
Some were collected from the market, while others were hunted down by themselves.
Winter was coming, and snow would fall north of the Yellow River and even Guanzhong. The nobles liked to make robes, hats, and cloaks from wolf skin to keep warm.
However, Yang Chen was very curious as to why the Great Tang had yet to declare war on the Turks.
Could it be that his speculation was wrong?
He recalled how he had vowed in front of the rich girl Li Caiwei, patting his chest to guarantee that the court would declare war on the Turks, and had even persuaded her father, Li Caiwei, to withdraw his business from the Turks.
This might be embarrassing.
The reason he was looking forward to the war was that he hoped that the Great Tang could defeat the Turks and that the price of wolf skin would rise.
Most of the Great Tang's wolf skins came from the north, and once war broke out in the north, the number of caravans would decrease.
It would be difficult for the price of Wolf Skin not to rise!
In the past two days, he had just renovated his mother's house. He had demolished the simple thatched cottage and rebuilt it into a mud house. He had spent almost all of his savings.
