Chapter 2385 Li Shen's sense of oppression
"For the overall situation?" Li Shen did not get angry after hearing this.
Regardless of whether what Ashina She'er said is true or false, this reason is very sufficient.
Because he is loyal to Your Majesty, everything he does is for Your Majesty's benefit.
In fact, Li Shen could see that most of the royal families in the Ashina tribe were only loyal to their fathers.
Many people don’t understand what it means. Simply put, they have no loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and are only loyal to Li Shimin in their hearts.
As long as Li Shimin was alive, they would be loyal to him and would never rebel, because they were afraid of the man who conquered them.
Although this man is now old and can no longer go to the battlefield, his name is deeply engraved in their hearts.
As long as this man is still around, they dare not overstep the line.
This is also the thing that Li Shen admires most about his father.
Whether it is tough tactics or that damn personal charm, Li Shen is far inferior.
"Duke Bi, I understand your good intentions, but my Tang Dynasty is strong and powerful. Are you afraid of their rebellion?
The Uighurs want to rebel. Whether I kill Yaoluoge and Pijia or not, they will rebel anyway.
If they really turn against the court because of this matter, I will personally lead the army into the north.
I am not as merciful as Your Majesty. At that time, even if they beg for mercy, it will be useless. All of them above the wheel will be executed.
This king will lead his cavalry to slaughter the entire grassland, and this king will dye the Dule River red."
Li Shen's words deeply shocked Ashina She'er. Looking at the gloomy Prince Ji, Ashina She'er felt cold.
The fact that the Tang Dynasty had such a cruel prince was not a good thing for foreigners like them.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty always used courtesy before force, and conquered people with virtue. When they conquered the Tiele tribes, they adopted the policy of not killing those who surrendered.
But the prince in front of him actually wanted to massacre the Tiele people and execute all those above the wheel. How many people would be killed?
Is another killer going to appear?
The Dule River was the dividing line between the Turks and the Tiele. How cruel it was that King Ji wanted to dye the Dule River red.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, this matter is of great importance. Would you like me to report this to His Majesty later?"
At this time, Ashina She'er didn't know what to say. Li Shen was too angry at the moment.
The only thing we can do is to bring in His Majesty to suppress it.
"Your Highness, I think what General Ashina said makes some sense. Your Highness always prioritizes the overall situation. Why don't you report this to His Majesty first and ask for His Majesty's opinion before making a final decision?"
Wang Xuance then began to persuade them.
The life or death of Yaoluoge Pijia is not important. What Wang Xuance is concerned about is the trouble that killing Yaoluoge Pijia will bring to King Ji.
Given the current status of Prince Ji’s Mansion, someone will definitely take the opportunity to impeach it.
Although it will not have any impact on Prince Ji, it is very likely that he will be beaten by His Majesty.
Li Shen frowned. Wang Xuance had just dissuaded him, but he was still unwilling to do so.
I was a good-for-nothing in my previous life, but I finally became a superior person in this life. I don't want to be bound by the world anymore and want to take revenge.
However, he didn't expect that even though he had reached such a position, he still had to be cautious before doing things, which made him very unhappy.
"Your Majesty, how about writing a memorial to His Majesty?"
Seeing Li Shen in deep thought, Shi Tou whispered beside Li Shen.
"No need, Your Majesty has given me the freedom to act, and I will make all the decisions myself.
Duke Bi, tomorrow the King will go to the military camp and meet Yaoluoge Pijia in person, and then make a decision.
I know you are loyal to His Majesty, so I tell you so much. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your tribe.
I promised you 20% of the transaction amount. Someone will talk to you about it after you return to Chang'an. I hope you don't make the wrong choice.
Tomorrow, I want to see Yaoluoge Pijia."
Li Shen waved his hand and looked at Ashina She'er.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ji. Heaven and earth can attest to my loyalty to Your Majesty, and I will naturally stand on Your Highness Prince Ji's side."
When Ashina She'er heard about the transaction, he was immediately ecstatic. Yaoluoge Pijia and Huihe were not as important as the 20% transaction volume of Prince Ji's Mansion.
"That's good. Go back and prepare. The King will go to the camp tomorrow."
Li Shen nodded with satisfaction.
Ashina She'er stood up and saluted Li Shen:
"Yes, then I will take my leave."
After Li Shen nodded, he ordered Wang Xuance to send Ashina She'er out.
This barbarian royal general, the Duke General of the Tang Dynasty, had no status at all in front of Li Shen.
Even if he met Li Zhi and Li Tai, Ashina She'er would not be so humble.
All of this comes from strength.
Soon Wang Xuance sent Ashina She'er away and returned to the study.
"Daowu, get ready and go to the camp with me tomorrow morning. Remember to put on your armor."
Li Shen gave orders to Zhou Daowu.
"Yes." Zhou Daowu stood up and nodded. He saw the most majestic side of his brother-in-law today.
He actually doesn't take these dukes and generals seriously.
Ashina She'er, Qibi Heli, and Guo Xiaoke were all high and mighty figures to him. Even though he was the son-in-law of the emperor, his status was far below theirs.
But now they were suppressed by their brother-in-law, and Qibi Heli and Guo Xiaoke didn't even have a chance to speak.
As the chief steward, Ashina She'er also spoke cautiously, which showed his majesty.
This made Zhou Daowu straighten his back a little.
"Rengui, notify the guards to bring all their weapons and equipment tomorrow, just in case."
Li Shen gave the order again.
"Your Highness, are you planning to take action against the Uighurs?" Xue Rengui asked after saluting.
Li Shen shook his head and said:
"No, it's just a precaution. If the Huihe tribe is willing to go to war with me because of Yaoluoge Bijia, then we will kill them all.
I have said that this is not a matter of money. No one in Prince Ji’s Mansion can die in vain, not even a servant.
The Huihe tribe must pay the price. If they kill my people, I will kill theirs."
“But, Your Majesty, the Huihe tribe has tens of thousands of troops this time. If a fight breaks out, the outcome will be unpredictable and there will be heavy casualties.
The important thing is that it is very dangerous for the prince to be present."
Wang Xuance thought about it and analyzed.
"Don't worry, if a war breaks out, Ashina She'er will not stand idly by. If I die there,
His Ashina tribe and other Tiele tribes must be buried with me.
Although my father-in-law is a bit fierce and greedy, he still treats me like a father and son."
Li Shen grinned, not caring at all. If a war broke out, other tribes would definitely help him attack the Uighurs.
This was not for him, Li Shen, but to show loyalty to their Heavenly Khan.
