Turbulent Times Chapter 808: Provocation
Silla, which is in a hostile relationship with Goguryeo, is the prince Jin Guofan (not a random name, but after checking the information, there happened to be a prince with this name in Silla at this time), who looks quite Handsome, slender body, jade facing the wind, good temperament.
Accompanying the envoys of the Three Kingdoms is Yang Xuangan, Minister of the Honghe Temple. These days, King Jin Guofan of Silla has been fighting secretly with the prime minister of Goguryeo, Yuan Taizuo, which made the mediocre Yang Xuangan quite a headache. Whoever entered the hall first was arguing endlessly about congratulating the emperor and empress of the Sui Dynasty on his birthday. In the end, Yang Xuan felt helpless and had to let the envoys of the Three Kingdoms enter together.
After the envoys of the Three Kingdoms sat down, there was a message of 'Dang! ’ When the bell rang, Feng Deyi, the host of the birthday banquet, said loudly: "Your Majesty, please give me a speech!"
The hall suddenly became quiet again. Sui Emperor Yang Guang picked up his wine glass and laughed loudly: "On this good night, I first express my most sincere respect to the queen. I wish the queen will stay young forever. Let's toast the queen first!"
"I wish the queen's youth will stay forever!"
All the ministers toasted together and drank it down. Yang Guang took another glass of wine poured by the waiter next to him, raised his glass and said with a smile: "At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to the envoys of the three countries who were able to come to the queen's birthday banquet. For the eternal reconciliation of the Three Kingdoms and my Great Sui, everyone drink this cup again."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor." Although the envoys of the Three Kingdoms knew that Yang Guang's words were false, and even the East Turkic Prince Ashina Duji felt hypocritical, they still stood up and expressed their thanks in unison.
After everyone drank the wine in the glass, Yang Guang said again: "This glass of wine is to express my gratitude to all the courtiers who came to the princess's birthday banquet. Taking the opportunity of the queen's birthday banquet, I wish my Da Sui world a good harvest every year, peace in the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone, let's drink this cup again!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the ministers responded in unison and drank all the wine in their cups together.
At this time, with the sound of drums and bursts of music, a group of dancers dressed as warriors rushed to the main hall, where they danced passionately and unrestrainedly.
After all the work was done, everyone sat down. Wang Junlin felt a murderous gaze. He turned his head and saw that it was the Eastern Turkic Prince Ashina Dujishi who did not hide his murderous intentions. stared at him dead.
Of course Wang Junlin knows why Ashina Duojishi is so cruel to himself. Two years ago, he first burned to death the most elite five thousand silver wolf king cavalry of Dong. One of the tribes of Tiele killed nearly 100,000 enemies, which greatly weakened the national strength of the Eastern Turks. If the Western Turks were not torn apart by Wang Junlin, they are still fighting each other. The horse thief king of the Western Regions Sha Qianmo formed Zhaowu Kingdom , the Western Turks may have taken advantage of the fire to rob them.
Ashina Duojishi was the captain of the Silver Wolf King Cavalry at that time, and the five thousand silver wolf king cavalry were exactly half of his troops. It is conceivable that Ashina Duojishi hated Wang Junlin What he couldn't bear the most was that the five thousand silver wolf king cavalry didn't die in the fight with the Sui army, but they were all burned to death in a daze, and none of them escaped. This incident also greatly damaged the power of Ashina Duoji, who was most likely to succeed the Khan, and the Khan's position was in suspense.
Although it happened two years later, when Ashina Duo Jishi saw Wang Junlin now, it was the meeting of his enemies. He rushed over and killed Wang Junlin.
When Wang Junlin saw Ashina Tujishi's eyes, he understood the reason why this person had such a strong killing intent towards him, but how could he be afraid of Ashina Tujishi? If he wanted to cause trouble in the Sui Dynasty, he wouldn't mind letting him die on the way back to East Turkic.
Wang Junlin saw Ashina Jishi staring at him, his eyes never moving away, and he looked like a cannibal, suddenly frowned slightly, raised his hand and made a provocative gesture of cutting his throat, Ashina Du Jishi suddenly jumped into a rage, and with a violent movement, he knocked the wine jar on the short table in front of him to the ground, making a bang, which attracted everyone's attention.
Ashina Tuojishi realized his gaffe, and quickly stood up and bowed to Yang Guang, saying: "Foreign minister's gaffe, please forgive me, His Majesty the Sui Dynasty."
Yang Guang frowned slightly, and said, "Prince Ashina Duji doesn't like this dance."
Ashina Tuo Jishi leaned forward and replied: "This dance is very beautiful, but it is too soft and lacks a masculine spirit."
Empress Xiao on the side had been looking at Wang Junlin out of the corner of her eye just now, but she happened to notice the small movements between Ashina Duojishi and Wang Junlin, and asked with a smile: "Then what is the Turkic banquet used to add to the fun? "
"Reporting to the empress, although Turkic banquets also include dances by Turkic girls, they usually use wrestling and riding and shooting to add to the fun." To lead to riding and shooting. On the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate and even kill Wang Junlin. On the other hand, during Kaihuang’s reign, Turkic envoys were sent to Beijing twice to compete with the Sui Dynasty in riding and archery, but they failed both times. One was defeated by Changsun Sheng and the other by He Ruobi. Duo Jishi is a famous eagle shooter in Eastern Turkic, and he even specially brought three young archers. Although Turkic was forced to surrender to the Sui Dynasty because he was severely injured by Wang Junlin two years ago, how could he be convinced? . However, directly proposing the arrow competition seemed to be provocative, so Ashina Duojishi waited for the opportunity of the banquet, and used the excuse of having fun to conduct the competition. If he loses, he will not lose face, and if he wins, he will not hurt their relationship.
Yang Guang understood Ashina Duo Jishi's meaning, he stroked his beard and laughed and said, "Does the prince want to compete with me, Da Sui, in wrestling or riding and shooting?"
Ashi Naduo Jishi hurriedly said: "The Turks dare not offend the Great Sui Tianwei, and I just suggested riding and shooting for fun!"
"Riding and shooting for fun, this is a good suggestion!"
Yang Guang readily agreed, and said: "I will choose a few people from the guards to compete with the Turkic warriors to help the birthday banquet."
Ashi Naduo Jishi hurriedly said: "I heard that Duke Qin An of the Great Sui Dynasty was very skilled in martial arts, and his arrow skills were as good as gods. I want to compete with Duke Qin An in riding and archery."
All the ministers were surprised, but many people remembered the war two years ago, and then saw the hatred in Ashina Duoji's eyes when he looked at Wang Junji, and they suddenly realized.
Of course, Yang Guang also understood why Ashina Tuoji challenged Wang Junlin, and at the same time remembered that Dong Turk was able to become a vassal, and it was Wang Junlin's credit for sending Ashina Duoji to celebrate his birthday today.
Thinking about it carefully, the Western Turks were torn apart, Tuyuhun was destroyed, and the Eastern Turks were severely damaged for several years and it was difficult to go south. for.
