Chapter 2384 For the sake of the overall situation
Prince Ji has always given people the impression of being cynical and lawless.
He acts eccentrically and overbearingly, looks down on everyone and enjoys scheming and plotting.
In Chang'an City, Prince Ji was an outlier among the nobles. He never cared about the glory of being a noble.
But today, Ashina She'er saw something different in Prince Ji.
Especially the aura of Li Shen, half lying on the couch, looking nonchalant, giving people an extreme sense of oppression.
He seemed to see the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty who had convinced him in the past, and he was even more depressing than the Heavenly Khan.
After all, Tian Khan was kind to him back then, but now Prince Ji doesn't even look at him.
Li Shen played with the teacup, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a moment, he spoke:
"I have heard that Yaoluoge Pijia is a member of the Khan family in the Uighur tribe.
But I haven't heard that you Turks have any close relationship with the Uighurs.
You, a member of the Turkic royal family, are actually trying to make peace with the Uighur Khan family. Can I assume that your Ashina tribe has formed an alliance with the Uighur tribe?"
"Your Highness Prince Ji is being wronged. This has absolutely not happened. I and my tribe have always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty and to Your Majesty. We have never had second thoughts and have never formed an alliance with any tribe.
I hope His Royal Highness Prince Ji will understand this."
As soon as Li Shen said this, Ashina She'er was scared to death. My goodness, isn't this asking them to die?
There have always been many Uighurs who opposed surrendering to the Tang Dynasty. They would rather migrate to other places than become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.
These people were called rebels by the people of the Tang Dynasty.
King Ji actually linked their Ashina tribe with this group of people. Isn’t this a bit too cruel?
Based on his understanding of the Tang Emperor, if the accusation was confirmed, the Tang Emperor would most likely send troops to encircle and suppress them.
At that time, the men of his tribe will be slaughtered, the women will be enslaved, and the children will be taken away.
Prince Ji's action was too vicious, and his character was even crueler than that of the Emperor.
"No? How do you explain the matter of Yaoluoge Bijia? Why are you protecting him?"
With a bang, Li Shen's teacup fell heavily on the couch.
"this......"
Ashina She'er was speechless when asked. Logically, he was a general and a duke. As the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army, he should not be afraid of a prince.
As Li Shimin's confidant and the general of the Southern Court's Imperial Guards, he held a high position and great power, which was not comparable to that of Li Shen, a leisurely prince.
But Li Shen was different. He was a bastard prince who even dared to hit Prince Jin. He didn't dare to take the risk of betting that Li Shen would not impulsively kill him.
He had no weapons with him. The room was full of Ji Wang's men, especially the big guard who was always by his side.
I heard that even Li Shiji was no match for him and was almost beaten to death.
At this moment, Prince Ji wanted to kill him, and he didn't even have a chance to resist.
Li Shen sat up, and this time he looked at Ashina She'er seriously.
"Duke Bi, I want to know if you are aware that Yaoluoge Pijia killed people from Prince Ji's palace and stole my property."
"Your Highness Prince Ji, I have no knowledge of this matter. I only learned about it from General Han after returning from Shule.
When I first heard about this, I was also very angry. I scolded Pijia and prepared to make him apologize to His Royal Highness Prince Ji.
I just haven't had time to talk to His Royal Highness Prince Ji yet."
Ashina She'er was also a smart man. Seeing that Prince Ji was furious, he naturally wanted to distance himself from the matter.
He actually knew about this earlier. Prince Ji's Mansion had confiscated their respective spoils, and their respective subordinates had already sent people to inform them.
I also reported the whole story to them.
After learning the truth, these people all cursed Yaoluoge Vijia, saying that this brainless guy actually provoked King Ji.
Even if he had never been to Chang'an City, hadn't he heard of the name of King Ji?
Last year, the emperor of Chebi State summoned him, but the emperor didn't show any power. The Ji Wangfu took action and forced Chebi State into a desperate situation. The surrounding Tiele tribes isolated Chebi State.
Life began to become difficult for the people of the entire ethnic group, and the people at the bottom of the society could not even get enough food.
The price of purchased grain increased more than tenfold, and all tribes dared not trade with them.
I don’t know how many people from the tribe fled to other tribes.
In the end, the country was easily destroyed by the Tang army.
Having learned from the previous experience, this Yaoluoge Pijia actually dared to provoke others without knowing the consequences, and this time he even killed and robbed them.
They almost got implicated, and these people hated Yaoluoge Viga very much.
So no one spoke for Yaoluoge Pijia except Ashina Sheer.
"Duke Bi, I have never held grudges. I can let this matter go. Please help me pass on a message to the Huihe tribe.
Even though the Uighurs are powerful, I am just a small prince and am not worthy of having any dealings with the Uighurs.
Therefore, from now on, Prince Ji’s Mansion will no longer go to the Uighurs to trade with them.
This prince will publish this news in the internal newspaper of the world's number one chamber of commerce, and will also publish this matter at the same time.
He also reminded merchants all over the world to be careful when doing business with the Uighurs, so as not to lose both their money and their lives.
Also, if the Tiele tribes also think they are superior, Prince Ji’s Mansion will not try to reach them.”
Li Shen said expressionlessly that the simpler the method, the more useful it is.
As the saying goes, one trick is enough to make you successful. Li Shen's method is simple and crude, and it works every time.
This is how Chebi Kingdom was eliminated. This move was quite cruel, as King Ji actually wanted to dig up the roots of the Uighurs.
"Your Highness, Prince Ji, I am not familiar with the Huihe tribe. How about you speak to Yaoluoge Pijia in person?"
Ashina She'er understood the situation at this moment and distanced himself from the matter.
He didn't want his own tribe to be implicated because of the affairs of the Uighurs.
"Oh? You're not familiar with the Huihe tribe? Then why are you defending Yaoluoge Pijia? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Li Shen immediately asked in a stern voice.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, please calm down. I am not doing this out of personal favoritism, but for the greater good.
This Yaoluoge Pijia was also an important figure in the Uighur tribe, and his father held a high status in the Uighur tribe.
There have always been voices against the Tang Dynasty within the Uighur tribe.
If His Royal Highness Prince Ji gets angry and kills Yaoluoge Pijia, his father will definitely lead his people in rebellion, and then the Uighur tribe will be torn apart.
There will also be many followers from the Uighur tribe who will follow along.
I believe the Northern Tiele are unstable, and for the sake of the greater good, Yaoluoge Pijia cannot be killed."
Ashina She'er finally revealed his purpose. He knew that if Yaoluoge Pijia came, King Ji would definitely kill him.
Doing so is extremely detrimental to the overall situation.
(I slept all day today and just woke up a short while ago, so it’s late. I can get up earlier tomorrow.
This time, I participated in the platform's activities and met various great people, as well as some of the top saints on the platform.
Compared to them, I am far behind, and I feel inferior.)
