Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 516 The Pensive Empress Xiao

With Empress Xiao's political wisdom, it is not difficult to judge one thing. If she is willing to return to the Central Plains, it will definitely not be the butcher's knife of the Tang Dynasty waiting for her.

Because Datang is already the winner.

The victor does not need to use brutality to show his strength, but will be more merciful to show his own mind. What's more, Li Yuan won the world in the name of adhering to the orthodoxy of the Sui Dynasty. Now if Empress Xiao brings the children of the Yang family back to the Central Plains, even if the Li family does not return the country to the Yang family, there is absolutely no reason to treat them as the remnants of the previous dynasty and kill them all.

In the final possible outcome, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would grant Yang Guang's descendants several modest titles, and let them eat and wait to die in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The words "eating and waiting to die" don't sound very nice. But Empress Xiao didn't think there was any problem. Anyway, her life in Turkic seems to be no better than "eating and waiting to die".

Since eating and waiting to die is the doomed ending, why not go back to the Central Plains to eat and wait to die? At least it's more comfortable.

Empress Xiao gradually became clear about her thoughts, pointing the answer to "return to the Central Plains".

However, it is not the case that she can return to the Central Plains if she wants to. She is in the Turkic camp. Could it be that the Turkic people will just watch her return to the Tang Dynasty?

Indeed, she can no longer play the role of disgusting Datang. Because Datang has already been the irrefutable winner. However, this does not mean that she and Yang Zhengdao are useless at all. At least in terms of stabilizing the Han people on the Turkic side, she and Yang Zhengdao also played a considerable role, which is a huge symbolic meaning.

As long as she and Yang Zhengdao are there, the Han people on the Turkic side can anesthetize themselves and comfort themselves that they are still living under the rule of the Sui Dynasty instead of being ruled by the Turks. If they were gone, it would be hard to guarantee that few of these Han people would jump out and make trouble with something wrong in their thinking.

The Turkic people are a bit difficult to deal with. If there is a bloody suppression, it may lead to more backlash, but if it is not suppressed, more people may jump out to rebel. Therefore, for the Turkic side, continuing to support Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao is like offering a statue of a Bodhisattva to keep peace at home.

May I ask, who would be willing to see their Bodhisattva statue go away?

So, don't look at Empress Xiao who is still respected by the Turkic people, once she shows her intention to leave, the Turkic people will not be so polite.

She is just a weak woman, the "Queen Dowager of the Sui Dynasty" in name, and she has no strength in her hands. And her grandson Yang Zhengdao is nothing more than a puppet emperor. His so-called "imperial power" can only affect the servants around him.

If they want to leave Turkic, then seeking help from others is an essential part.

Since Li Jing sent this letter, it can be regarded as that he is willing to help. However, he is now in Dingxiang City, how could he come to Qingshi City to rescue Empress Xiao and Yang Zhengdao out of the cage?

Empress Xiao closed her eyes, thinking silently in her heart.

Li Jing sent this letter, expressing his willingness to help Empress Xiao return to the Central Plains. Behind this must be his own purpose. Kind of right?

Then, Li Jing's purpose should be closely related to whether Empress Xiao escaped or not.
