Old Han didn't understand what Li Xiang was going to do, but Li Xiang himself knew it very well. He asked Old Han to investigate secretly. At the same time, Li Xiang found out some problems and then put them openly on the table, asking the prime minister to give him an explanation.
Abalasha had been keeping an eye on Li Xiang for a long time. When he heard that Li Xiang had sent an invitation to the palace, he knew that the Khan would not meet Li Xiang. He might be Li Xiang's only contact. If it were in the past, he might have cheered to be this contact, after all, the relationship between Western Turkestan and the Tang Dynasty was very important.
But now he didn't seem happy at all. Everyone could see that the relationship between the two countries was walking on a tightrope and could break at any time. So after visiting Li Xiang, he wanted to stay away from him when he came back, but the Khan would not give him this opportunity.
While this guy was at home thinking about how to escape from this vortex, Li Xiang's people had already delivered the post.
Your Khan said earlier that he was not feeling well, so he would not meet, but this matter must have a result, so Li Xiang had some things to communicate with the Western Turks, and Abalasha could not refuse. If he refused, when the Western Turks asked for the answer, Li Xiang could naturally push all the responsibilities to the Prime Minister.
"Prepare the car."
After reading Li Xiang's post, Abalasha had no choice but to go to the Tang Dynasty's military camp. Of course, he could also ask Li Xiang to come here, but Abalasha thought it would be better to go there himself. If Li Xiang was allowed to enter the city, it was very likely that the Khan would be unhappy. Many people in the city were hostile to the people of the Tang Dynasty. If any trouble arose, it would be difficult to explain to both parties. It would be better for him to go there himself.
Abarasha also hired people to keep an eye on the military camp. The provocative civilians around were all arranged by them. Of course, there were also some brave people who were willing to go there on their own initiative. They would not let this matter get out of hand, but at the same time, they had to put some pressure on the Tang military camp. Our princess has been slept with by you. If we don't make our attitude clear, the Tang Dynasty will think we are quite weak.
Now they have tricked a group of herdsmen from the surrounding areas over here. They can attack or defend. They can use the herdsmen to put pressure on the Tang Dynasty. If something really happens, the Western Turkic court can also get itself out of trouble and then push the matter onto the herdsmen.
Niu Jinda saw this at the time, so he did not hold back when he fought back, because even if those herdsmen died, the Western Turkic court would not help them.
Abarasha didn't want to have any contact with Li Xiang, so he stopped and walked along the way, and even stopped to buy a bag of things. The journey that would originally take half an hour took this guy an hour and a half.
"Please come in, Prime Minister."
There was no trace of blood on Niu Jinda's face. He had no good feelings towards these people from Western Turkestan. If it were not for this critical moment, and if it were not for Li You doing such a shameful thing, Niu Jinda would have wanted to kill all of them.
"My Lord Prime Minister, how are you? We meet again."
When seeing this guy coming in, Li Xiang changed his previous politeness. Last time he was greeting him outside, but this time he just sat in his seat without getting up. This made the prime minister feel a little unhappy. How long has it been? Has your attitude changed?
"Your Highness has something to ask you, so how could I not come? I wonder if Your Highness has any questions about this information that I need to answer?"
Abalasha did not show it. After all, he was the prime minister of a country, so he still had some cunning. If he showed it now, he would not be worthy of being the prime minister of Western Turkestan.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is a straightforward person, so I won't hide anything. My people have found some evidence that the information here has been altered. I hope Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, can give me an answer."
Li Xiang knocked on the table, and a clerk took out all the problematic volumes and slowly pointed them to the prime minister.
Abalasha is not a fool. He was the one who ordered some things to be deleted before because there were too many people involved, and those people were not ordinary people. If the Tang Dynasty proposed to interrogate these people, would it let the nobles of Western Turkestan go to Li Xiang as the people to be investigated?
"It was just a mistake during the interrogation, so we made some corrections. If you were to take out all the interrogation records from the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid there would be similar corrections. Could this also be a mistake?"
Abarasha's pupils contracted sharply. Most people couldn't see it, but Li Xiang was not an ordinary person. He could see that this guy was lying, and his body language showed that he was lying.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. Pass the order down, prepare the entire army for battle, arrest him, and return to Chang'an immediately."
When Li Xiang finished speaking, dozens of Tang soldiers suddenly appeared around him, and those he brought with him had knives pointed at their necks. Abalasha had seen big scenes, but had never seen such a scene. The person in front of him was obviously a polite young man, and he represented two countries. How could he turn against him so easily?
"Your Highness, do you know what your actions mean? This is Western Turkic territory. If you really do this, you will bring disaster to both countries. We have finally achieved the peace we have now. Do you want to destroy this peace?"
Abarasha was also a little scared. If it were someone else, he would have nothing to be afraid of. As he said, this is the royal city of Western Turks, and there are a large number of Western Turkic herdsmen around. If you want to fight a battle here, you have really chosen the wrong place.
But the man before him was Li Xiang, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty. How many fatal things had he done? How many illogical things had he done?
If you expect him to play by the rules, you will really be setting yourself up for failure. So others only have a 10% chance of doing this, but Li Xiang has a 90% chance of doing this.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, may not know me well. I am a man of decisive action. I was thinking of investigating thoroughly and giving you an answer, but you are using this kind of rubbish to brush me off. That is wrong of you. If reasoning doesn't solve the problem, then we will solve it with the sword."
