Li Ke has been busy dealing with the Kang family's father and son recently, and is powerless to be distracted. In addition, he is in the Turkic Republic and the news is blocked. The Tang envoy went north and he actually got the news just now.

Li Ke didn't know what the purpose of the Tang envoy came, but he knew that this was not a bad thing for him after all.

The envoy named Zheng Yuanshou was appointed as the third-rank minister of Taichang Temple. He was the eldest son of Zheng Yi, the former dynasty, and came from the Donglinfang of the Zheng family in Xingyang, a family in the Central Plains. He was also a child of the aristocratic family.

Zheng Yuanshou was quite famous. He was a great achievement in following the dragon when the Tang Dynasty was established. He was also the number one figure in the Tang Dynasty, so Li Ke naturally knew it.

Although Zheng Yuanshou was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke was the prince, and in the Turks represented the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, when Zhang Yuanshou arrived at the Turks, he did not rush to visit Jie Li Khan, but came to see Li Ke first.

When Li Ke returned to his big tent, Zheng Yuanshou was already waiting in the tent.

"My memory of Zheng Yuanshou, please pay homage to Your Highness." Zheng Yuanshou saw Li Ke enter and leaned over to worship.

Although Zheng Yuanshou was a minister, he was one of the nine ministers and had a high position. In addition, he was not low in the Central Plains family, Li Ke would not be negligent at all. Li Ke hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zheng Yuanshou up and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Zheng Siqing, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zheng Yuanshou thanked him and stood up.

After Zheng Yuanshou got up, Li Ke asked, "The temple minister came suddenly, I don't know when the Turks arrived."

Zheng Yuanshou said: "I came here at the emperor's order, and it was also Yinshan that I had only passed three days ago. This time, the envoy of the North, Wen Xiang had already volunteered to be the envoy, but Your Majesty was worried that Wen Xiang was old and weak, so he ordered his subordinates to take a trip."

The Wen Xiang mentioned by Zheng Yuanshou was Wen Yanbo who Li Ke met on the way north last year. After Wen Yanbo returned to Beijing, he was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat by Li Shimin and ranked as the prime minister. However, Wen Yanbo is now fifty years old, and his body is weak, so it is naturally not suitable to go north to avoid hurting his body.

Li Ke laughed and said, "Wen Xiang's old horse is in the stable and wants to go north to share his father's worries. My monarch and minister of the Tang Dynasty are like this, why worry about the Turkic troubles in the north?"

Although this place is in the Turkic realm, Li Ke's confidant is surrounded by Li Ke's confidant. Li Ke was not afraid of being heard by others when he said it, and his words became much more straightforward.

Zheng Yuanshou said: "Since your highness asks to go north, your Majesty will encourage you every day, and will not forget the hatred of the Turks taking their son and the pain of humiliating the country. He works hard to cure and sharpen his troops and armor, and wait for his Highness to be welcomed back one day."

Li Ke nodded and said, "Father is concerned. Although I am a thousand miles away, I am still impressed in my heart. I just don't know what Zheng Siqing is doing here?"

Zheng Yuanshou replied: "I came here at the emperor's order this time, but there are only two things: one is to negotiate with Jie Li Khan and welcome your highness back; the other is to visit Jie Li Khan and his subordinates."

Li Ke was young, and Zheng Yuanshou was worried that Li Ke was not serious and could easily miss it, so he did not tell the truth. However, when Li Ke listened to Zheng Yuanshou's words, he could not hear Zheng Yuanshou's meaning.

It is certainly true that trying to welcome Li Ke back, but it is probably not that simple to visit Jie Li and his ministers.

In addition to spying on news, visiting Jie Li and his ministers may also mean discord and win over.

Li Ke paused and said to Zheng Yuanshou: "I am young and have not participated in the court affairs. It is natural that the court is in trouble. However, I have been in the Turkic Republic for a long time and have been in trouble with the Turkic rulers and ministers. I have made a contribution here. I wonder if the temple ministers are interested?"

Li Ke said something suddenly, and Zheng Yuanshou didn't react for a while, but Li Ke was young and probably didn't know what happened. What big thing could he accomplish in the Turkic state?

Zheng Yuanshou did not take Li Ke's words too seriously, but Li Ke's identity was here after all, and even if he just mentioned it casually, Zheng Yuanshou would not be ignored.

Zheng Yuanshou replied: "Your Highness is not afraid to be greedy for merit. If your Highness says anything, please give me instructions. I will do my best."

Li Ke said: "Although there are voices in the Turkic tribes that are not convinced by Jie Li, these voices are only a few at present. If the temple minister rashly contacts them, it may easily leak the news. If Jie Li notices it, he loses the opportunity. I recommend one person to the temple minister, and the temple minister may try it."

Zheng Yuanshou originally thought that Li Ke was coming back and would definitely mention something about his return to the court, but Li Ke did not mention a word about how to welcome him back to the court, but pointed directly to the second point he said.

Li Ke actually understood what he said? This is just a nine-year-old boy!

Zheng Yuanshou looked at Li Ke in front of him, and his eyes were filled with unhidden surprise.

Zheng Yuanshou suppressed his surprise and asked Li Ke: "Please give me instructions."

Li Ke said to Zheng Yuanshou: "Although Jie Li is in the Turkic tribes, and there are many oppositions to the Turkic tribes, Jie Li has a great power in the Turkic tribes. If Zheng Siqing rashly goes to visit the Turkic tribes, he may cause chaos. Let Jie Li and Dr. Sheng be alert, which will be detrimental to our Tang Dynasty."

With Li Ke's age, it is rare to see this step, but if Li Ke's next words were even more surprised.

Li Ke paused and then said, "If we win over the Turkic tribes, it would probably not work, but I don't know if Zheng Siqing knows the Tiel clan?"

Tiel!

Li Ke's words seemed to hit Zheng Yuanshou's heart heavily, causing a tremor in Yang Yuanshou's heart.

To defeat the Turks, I first left Tielle. This was the conclusion that the nobles in the Tang Dynasty came to after a whole day in the Political Affairs Hall discussed politics. At this moment, they said it from Li Ke. How could Zheng Yuanshou not be surprised?

Zheng Yuanshou was not familiar with Li Ke. The only time he saw Li Ke was in the East Palace last year, and that time was discussing the matter of prostitution.

That time, Li Ke took the initiative to volunteer as a gift, which was indeed quite surprising to Zheng Yuanshou, but at this moment, in this Turkic tent, Li Ke shocked him ten times more than that at that time.

"Your Highness means starting with the Iron Le Nine Divisions?" Zheng Yuanshou was surprised, but asked in a pretentious manner on his face.

Li Ke nodded and said, "Yes, the Nine Tiele tribes surrendered to Jie Li, and the situation was just forcing Jie Li to assist them. They were always thinking about repeating the glory of the past. Among the Nine Tiele tribes, especially the two strongest, Xue Yantuo and Uighur tribes, this kind of mind is even more serious. If you secretly send someone to meet the Yinan of the Xue Yantuo tribe, you will definitely win over it."

Li Ke had dealt with Yi Nan before. This Yi Nan was a real and ambitious person. He had always wanted to rebel against the Turks and become a khan. At present, what Yi Nan feared was only Jie Li's troops.

If Yi Nan could form an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and support him with the Tang Dynasty, he would probably be happy to rebel against the Turks.

The Xueyantuo tribe took Yu Dujun Mountain as its root and was north of the Turkic Mountain, while the Tang Dynasty was south of the Turkic Mountain. If the Tang Dynasty and Xueyantuo tribe echoed north and south and attacked together, it would be enough to make Jie Li frustrated and difficult to deal with the beginning and end.
