Chapter 1312 Residual Heat
Jing Qiong is sad.
He has the cunning of a nomadic tribe.
He has always been respectful to the Central Plains dynasty, and even claimed to be his nephew's country, just to make the Han people in Liangzhou and Lingzhou turn a blind eye to him.
Thus, the trade routes in the Hexi Corridor have been unobstructed, thus condensing a large amount of wealth.
Whether in military or commercial terms, good friends with the Central Plains are all beneficial but not harmful.
However, he was not so patient or so esteemed with the Guiyi Army, which also belonged to the Han people.
The Long Family in Suzhou was originally part of the Guiyi Army, but in the end he was attracted to him and became part of the Uighurs.
In this Hexi Corridor with barren resources, Guasha Prefectures also have a different status, which made him covet it for a long time.
Even, decades ago, the Guiyi Army became a vassal state and paid tribute every year.
Jing Qiong recalled the glorious years of that year and couldn't help but burst into tears. His dignified Uighur Khan actually fell into this way.
"Father Khan, we won't be killed, are we?"
Several sons are in their twenties and thirties, and they are so happy to play dogs and make eagles on weekdays. Now when they encounter this, they immediately feel panicked and are indifferent to their old father.
"What are you afraid of--" Jing Qiong Khan gritted his teeth, and there was cold sweat on his forehead. Looking at a group of wives and concubines, he couldn't help but say confidently: "The Tang people will not do anything to us. There are hundreds of thousands of Uighur warriors, and they dare not take the blame."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became much calmer and no longer panic.
However, it is really uncomfortable to be in such a claustrophobic environment. The key is that after a night of hard work, those who are pampered and living in poverty have long been hungry.
"Father sweat, I'm hungry!" The most favored princess, with a desire in her emerald-like eyes, came to her father and whispered.
"Hold on for a while, it's okay."
Jing Qiong said sadly and kept comforting.
Soon, after a while, the door of the palace was opened, and a ray of sunlight shone in, revealing a figure.
"Zhang Yanhongda, what are you?" Jing Qiong looked at the man in front of him and couldn't help but stutter.
"Khan——"
Zhang Yinliu said with a bitter face: "When the Tang people entered the city, they arrested all civil and military officials, and those who did not obey would be executed. The minister had no choice but to do so!"
Jing Qiong raised her arm and couldn't help but let it go when she heard these words.
He is not a fool, why is it that other officials come to see him, but Zhang Yinliu?
It can be seen from this that Zhang Yinliu and Tang people must have a unclear relationship.
But at this point, is there still a need to pursue the matter? Now, as long as you can survive, you can only turn a blind eye.
"Zhang Yanhongda, tell the Tang people quickly. As long as we spare our lives, no matter what we do, wealth, palaces, and tribes, everything we do, can only save us!"
When Zhang Yinliu heard this, he acted as a difficult person: "Khan, now both palaces and wealth belong to the Tang people. What you said is not very useful."
"Then, what can I do?"
Jing Qiong opened his eyes wide and said hurriedly: "No, can I have any place to serve the Tang Dynasty court?"
Zhang Yinliu smiled slightly and said, "The Tang people told me that Khan has a noble status and there is no forced way. He just wants Khan to announce himself that he will surrender to the Tang Kingdom and let the tribes stabilize."
"What, then? What can I do?"
Jing Qiong didn't care about Khan's decency, and couldn't wait to ask.
"When Tangren spoke, he would definitely guarantee the lives of Khan's whole family, and would also send Khan to Luoyang to enjoy endless wealth!"
Zhang Yinliu said in a compliment.
"What? Luoyang?"
Jing Qiong was surprised and said hurriedly: "Can't you let me return to my own tribe? I will definitely be obedient and absolutely restrict those people from obeying the Tang Dynasty-"
Hearing this, Zhang Yinliu immediately changed his face and sneered: "My Khan, why are you pretending to be in front of me?"
"There is no one who can hold the Uighur Khan's position to be with him. Although you are old, an old wolf is the most terrifying thing, because it doesn't matter anymore!!"
Hearing this, everyone changed their color.
Jing Qiong Khan, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Yinliu's ridiculous face and felt extremely angry, but at this point, he forced him to obey:
"Zhang Yinliu, I am willing to serve the Tang Dynasty-"
As he said that, he sighed heavily and sat down on the ground.
People are the slaughter and I am the slaughter.
What if this situation is so good?
Then Jing Qiong Khan came forward, and the tribes of the Uighur tribes in Ganzhou naturally split.
Some of them resist to the death, some of them choose to surrender.
However, after experiencing his remaining energy, Jing Qiong and his family were packed and went to Luoyang.
After being exhausted along the way, Jing Qiong also saw the current appearance of the Central Plains.
There are green waters and green mountains everywhere, and villages are mixed with each other. There are people everywhere in the mountains or canyons.
It was not until Chang'an that he opened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim: "I heard that Chang'an has been lonely for many years, but I never thought it would be as prosperous as Shandan City. It is indeed not to be underestimated."
But now, he has seen so many people, but he is still a little dissatisfied. Chang'an, which is no longer famous, has made him feel a little superior.
However, after seeing the Yellow River, the rushing dragon was majestic and made people feel awe.
"If there were such rivers in Ganzhou, it would have been unified in the Western Regions long ago."
Jing Qiong was dissatisfied and shouted.
However, when he passed Sanmenxia and saw Luoyang, he was stunned.
I saw that this majestic city was more than five meters high, and the moat was more than ten meters wide, as wide as a big river.
On the one hand, there are three huge city gates, and people coming and going are endless, including cattle, sheep, people, and carriages, queuing, passing by one by one, in an orderly manner.
This giant city, from a distance, looks like a giant beast, which is deterrent.
Jing Qiong was frightened and murmured: "This city is probably the number one in the world!"
When he entered Luoyang, officials from the Ministry of Rites naturally came to greet him, even changed his clothes and arranged a mansion to calm him down.
The next day, the emperor summoned him.
He came to the palace tremblingly. When he saw Diaolou Yuche, he felt even more unable to do so. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was indeed powerful.
"Are you the Uighur Khan?"
The general translation retells the emperor's words tremblingly.
Jing Qiong responded quickly. He knew that the emperor of the Central Plains liked face, so he responded quickly, constantly showing his clownish behavior and teasing the court officials.
The emperor was unmoved, looked around and said, "Since you sincerely offered your land and surrendered, it is not difficult for me to do so. I will grant you the Marquis of Shouzhou with a fief of 3,000 households!"
