Chapter 373: The Affairs of the State of Guizi

"How unreasonable!" Li Chengqian was furious and threw the memorial in his hand out.

Just at this moment, Li Ke walked in from outside, and seeing the memorial flying towards him, he stretched out his hand to catch it.

"Your humble servant has seen the emperor!" Li Ke bowed to Li Chengqian.

"You are here! Sit down!" Li Chengqian waved his hand.

"Thank you, emperor!" Li Ke walked aside and sat down, wondering in his heart, "I wonder which blind guy has made the emperor so angry. If the emperor tells me, I will never let him go."

Before he came in, Li Ke heard Li Chengqian's cursing voice from a distance, and saw him throwing the memorial out as soon as he entered the door.

If he hadn't been quick, it would have hit him in the face. Li Ke was very curious about what made the emperor so angry.

"It's about the Guizi King Helibushibi." Li Chengqian said.

"Helibushibi? What did this Guizi King do to make my brother so angry?" Li Ke asked puzzled.

"If Helibushibi had the ability to do something, I wouldn't be so angry." Li Chengqian sighed, feeling helpless.

Speaking of Helibushibi, Li Chengqian was furious.

Some time ago, he, Li Chengqian, summoned Helibushibi and his prime minister Nali to Chang'an.

As soon as they arrived in Chang'an, Li Chengqian immediately ordered Nali to be locked up, which was considered to be a vent for Helibushibi.

Later, Li Chengqian still let Helibushibi return to Guizi and continue to be his King of Guizi. After all, Helibushibi was easier to control than Nali.

Nali was not a quiet person, otherwise Li Chengqian would not have chosen Helibushibi to be his spokesperson in Guizi. However, this

King of Guizi Helibushibi was unlucky enough. His wife Ashina had an affair with his prime minister Nali.

A green grassland was transplanted on the head of Helibushibi, the King of Guizi, which was green and shining. If

Ashina and Nali did this privately, it would be fine. Helibushibi would at most swallow his anger and acquiesce!

Who can stop Ashina and Nali from being so powerful? What can Helibushibi do if he can't bear to swallow his anger?

But Ashina and Nali were unwilling to do these things in secret, and actually put such things in the open.

Helibushibi couldn't stand it at all, so Helibushibi summoned his loyal people and Nali to do it.

Guizi, which had just restored peace, was once again caught in a dispute.

Neither side could do anything to the other, and the fight was evenly matched.

So, Helibushibi's subordinates gave Helibushibi a suggestion, asking him to report to Li Chengqian and ask for firepower support.

Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from Nali's eyes and ears. Nali was scared to death at that time. If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew about this, Nali would be finished!

The wrath of the Tang father was not something he could bear. After thinking about it, and finally reminded by his subordinates, Nali simply made a report to Li Chengqian to confuse the public.

Li Chengqian naturally would not believe Nali's lies. Who would talk about being cheated on? It must be that Helibushibi was the victim.

Li Chengqian immediately ordered to summon the two of them to Chang'an to ask clearly.

Helibushibi and the two naturally did not dare to disobey Li Chengqian's call. After receiving the imperial edict, they immediately set off for Chang'an.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, Nali was arrested and locked up without even a chance to defend himself. This made Helibushibi grateful and he vowed to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty from generation to generation and never betray.

Li Chengqian asked Helibushibi to go back to where he came from, and to continue to be the king of Guizi, to comfort the people of Guizi for the Tang Dynasty, and to let them learn to obey and be friendly with the Tang Dynasty. Helibushibi

stayed in Chang'an for a day, and the next day he hurried back to Guizi under the escort of Lei Wencheng, the left general of the army, and decided to deal with Ashina as the first thing to do.

Who knew that he had a problem on the way back and could not return to Guizi.

This was also the reason why Li Chengqian was angry.

"Then why is my brother so angry?" Li Ke asked in confusion.

"When Helibushibi was on his way back to Guizi, in Nishi City, east of Guizi, the general of Guizi, Jiehudian, led a large army to stop Helibushibi and forbade him to return to Guizi."

"This is obviously a rebellion. The general of Guizi, Jiehudian, was instructed by the queen of Guizi, Ashina, to oppose our Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

"This woman really doesn't know her place. When the Eastern and Western Turks were strong, they were still no match for our Tang Dynasty. How can a small country like Guizi compete with our Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke said disdainfully.

There was contempt in her eyes. This was the first time he had heard of such a foolish woman who was ignorant of current affairs and wanted to fight against the enemy with an egg.

"Although the Turks are no longer as powerful as they used to be, the Western Turks have not perished, and their remaining strength should not be underestimated."

"Ashina probably wants to rely on this remaining force to fight to the end. To put it bluntly, Ashina is worried that Helibusi will deal with her when he returns, so she wants to stop Helibusi from returning to the country."

"But she underestimated the strength of our Tang Dynasty and overestimated the remaining strength of the Turks. She thought that she could call on these remaining forces just because she is also a member of the Ashina noble family. It's simply wishful thinking." Li Chengqian said.

Ashina, this stupid woman, is definitely dead this time! No one can save her.

"What does my brother plan to do?" Li Ke asked. In fact, he knew without asking that he would definitely send troops to destroy them.

"I have ordered General Yang Zhou of the Left Tunwei to send troops to attack. There will be news coming back soon. You and I just need to wait for good news in Chang'an!" Li Chengqian said.

"By the way! What is the reason for you to come to see me?"

"This is it." Li Ke told Li Chengqian the purpose of his visit, and the two talked for an hour.

"Just do as we said just now. You can make your own decision on how to do it. You don't have to report to me." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes! I'll take my leave!" He had said everything he needed to say, and he was in a hurry to do things.

...

Yang Zhou, the general of the Left Tunwei, led his troops and quickly defeated the general of Guizi, Jiehudian, captured Jiehudian and his accomplices, and killed them all.

Guizi King Helibushibi had died before Yang Zhou defeated Jiehudian. Yang Zhou wrote a report on the incident and sent it to Chang'an to tell Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian then issued an edict to set up the Guize Military Governor's Office in Guize, and appointed Su Ji, the son of Helibushibi, as the King of Guize and Military Governor.

In May, Li Chengqian issued another edict to move the Anxi Protectorate to Guize, and the old site of the Anxi Protectorate was changed to the Xizhou Military Governor's Office to guard the old Gaochang area.
