Chapter 87 I treat you as a brother
After the rewards were awarded, Li began the struggle for power handover in Tuyuhun.
As the crown prince, Li Chengqian, a symbol of the power of the Tang Dynasty, naturally could not leave, so he had to continue to work in Tuyuhun.
If Li Chengqian did not leave, the Cheng Chusi brothers, Yuchi Baolin and Xue Rengui would naturally follow.
Li intended to let them understand the process of alternating power after the stand, and they, who were usually carefree, were naturally willing to learn.
This wait lasted for two or three months.
Even though Tuyuhun is not a big place, it does have a lot of things going on. It is also a mixed race and there are individual tribes. Some are loyal to the Tuyuhun Murong family and some are hostile.
Some were willing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, some were unwilling and wanted to migrate, and there was also the resettlement of the old and young of the remaining Turkic tribes.
Li found that he should really let some civil servants like Fang Xuanling follow him. The workload was really too heavy. He had to be busy until late at night every day, and he had to get up before dawn to prepare to continue.
This is still the workload with the support of the Murong family. If the Murong family causes trouble, they will not be able to settle down for a year and a half.
During this busy period, Li also discovered what kind of person Murong Xue of the Murong family, who is now Bai Xue of the Tang Dynasty, was like.
In Tuyuhun, she was treated as one person below ten thousand people. The tribes loyal to her alone accounted for more than 20% of the entire number in Tuyuhun.
Although there are not many of them, they do have a lot of say. They are present in many key gathering areas and places rich in products in Tuyuhun.
This transcendent status also made Li feel that it was necessary for the Tang Dynasty to have a prince to marry him, otherwise it would be a loss for the court if he was attracted by a big family.
In fact, there is a suitable candidate in front of me, Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian naturally had no objection. Murong Xue was fair and beautiful, and everyone loved beauty. Li Chengqian was eager to try.
In the end, within half a month, I directly approached Li Lian and quit.
Li asked Li Chengqian: "Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Li Chengqian helplessly replied: "The second daughter is very manageable, but this prince is really powerless."
"The one who can surround and suppress the Turkic remnants of Khan Baltu in the Tuyuhun camp with minimal losses is definitely not a mortal. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, must continue to work hard."
Li Chengqian said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Uncle, it's not that I don't work hard, it's really impossible. How about you let Bao Lin and Cheng Chusi try it?"
Seeing that the prince didn't look like he was lying, Li had no choice but to agree: "In that case, let's recruit Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuzhou and Yuchi Baolin."
"yes"
Not long after, several people came to Li's side with cheers.
Cheng Chusi asked Li carelessly: "Uncle, what are you doing with us?"
"Murong Xue, what do you think?"
Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuzhou, and Yuchi Baolin gave their thumbs up: "Good buddies."
"Speak of loyalty"
"Nothing to say"
"Benevolence and Righteousness"
Li scratched his head. Is this describing a girl? There is something wrong with the style of painting.
Li Chengqian smiled and said nothing, and continued to see what Li planned to do. After a few days of contact, he discovered that Murong Xue had no feelings for him at all. That was not his cup of tea. Forcing Li Shimin to issue an order was just for him.
Not happy.
Li asked Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuzhou, and Yuchi Baolin: "Do you describe women by this? Don't tell me that this was what your husband taught me when I was in school, and it was said by the great Confucians at the Imperial College."
"Uncle, of course this is no longer the case, but that's just the way he is."
"Yes, uncle, we can't lie, right?"
"I can testify that our two brothers did not lie. If you don't believe me, just ask Pauline and the prince."
Yuchi Baolin nodded: "What he said about Chu Si, Chu Mo and Chu Chu is right. Brother Murong is really a great man."
Cheng Chusi opened his mouth to educate Yuchi Baolin: "What are you talking about? How can you call me brother?"
Cheng Chumo: "Yes, you are wrong to call me Pauline like that."
Cheng Chuzhou: "That is Brother Murong who is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness."
Yuchi Baolin retorted: "No, I changed my name to eldest sister."
Li was a little confused and asked Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuzhou, and Yuchi Baolin: "I said Snow White Princess Murong Xue, not a male from the Murong family. Are you wrong?"
"That's right"
"That's her"
"Uncle, are you confused?"
"Should we find a doctor?"
Li Chengqian couldn't help it anymore: "Hahaha" and laughed crazily.
Li's face was confused, and it took him a long time to wake up: "Okay, I understand your uncle. If Murong Xue is not a daughter, at least she is a decent person."
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuzhou, and Yuchi Baolin nodded to what Li said.
"Yes, Murong Xue is indeed a rare hero, but it's a pity that she is a daughter, otherwise it would be easy to become a marquis and prime minister."
"That's right, I, Cheng Chusi, admire it."
"I, Cheng Chuzhou, have nothing to say."
"The same goes for me, Cheng Chumo."
"I, Yuchi Baolin, truly admire Brother Murong"
Seeing how his four nephews and juniors respected him so much, Li sighed.
It seems that there is no chance for these guys, but at the same time, I am relieved that such a person is lucky to be a woman, otherwise when he really grows up, he may grow into a khan who dominates the nomadic tribes around the Tang Dynasty.
It's really such a bloody storm. Fortunately, she is a girl.
Turning around and thinking again, Li asked Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, how did you come into contact with Murong Xue?"
"My brothers also want to know, the prince can tell me."
"Yes, Brother Prince, please tell me."
"Tell me a few brothers"
"Okay, okay, since you want to know, I'll tell you."
Li Chengqian simply organized his thoughts and said: "Actually, this is what happened. Uncle Li asked me to contact him, so I went."
"It's normal. Everyone is familiar with it. I didn't say anything else. I just asked Murong Xue what her preferences were."
"Murong Xue is not as polite as the ladies in charge of the eunuchs in Chang'an City. She said straightforwardly that she likes hunting, riding horses, drinking, wrestling, listening to music and watching young ladies dance."
Hunting, horseback riding, drinking, wrestling, listening to music and watching young ladies dancing, aren't these the hobbies of Li scratching his head and those of him and brothers Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others?
Li asked Li Chengqian: "Shouldn't this be a man's hobby?"
Li Chengqian answered Li Dao: "Yes, I was also wondering if Murong Xue was telling lies. When I asked about it, it turned out to be true."
Li continued to ask: "What then?"
"Then I'll go play with you."
Cheng Chuzhou: "What happens next?"
Li Chengqian looked embarrassed: "Hey, forget it, let's go hunting. I caught a few rabbits and they brought back a wolf."
Everyone "..."
"I have never drank before, but she killed me in wrestling all at once. My understanding of singing and dancing was inferior to me. In the end, Murong Xue saw my intentions and just said something that made me so ashamed that I had to come back."
Li asked Li Chengqian: "What did Murong Xue say?"
Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuzhou, Yuchi Baolin pricked up their ears and waited for Li Chengqian.
It took a long time for Li Chengqian to speak: "Murong Xue said: I treat you as a brother."
