Ashina Jiesheshuai (Kürşad)

He was a member of the Turkic noble family Ashina clan of Eastern Turkic khaganate and general (Zhonglangjiang) of the Tang Dynasty.

He is one of Shibi Khan's sons and the younger brother of Ashina Shibobi (Chinese: 阿史那什钵苾), who was vassal khagan of Tang dynasty and used the title of Tölis Khan.

Tang China defeated The Eastern Turkic khaganate and the khaganate became the vassal of Tang China in 630. During this period some Turkic nobles were enrolled in Chinese army. Ashina Jiesheshuai was among these nobles. He was planning to assassinate Taizong.

Jiucheng Palace raid
By summer 639, as Ashina Jiesheshuai had not been favored by the Tang Dynasty's Emperor Taizong (because he had falsely accused his brother Ashina Shibobi of treason, which Emperor Taizong found despicable), he formed a conspiracy with Ashina Shibobi's son Ashina Hexiangu (Chinese: 阿史那賀暹鶻) to assassinate Emperor Taizong at his summer palace, Jiucheng Palace (九成宮, in modern Linyou County, Shaanxi). They had planned to wait for Li Zhi the Prince of Jin to depart from the palace in the morning and use that opportunity to attack the palace. On the day they planned, May 19,[7] however, Li Zhi did not leave the palace due to a storm and immediately afterwards heavy rainfall. Ashina Jiesheshuai attacked the palace anyway, engaging the palace guards, but the guards was supported by troops who came outside. Ashina Jiesheshuai and his comrades stole some 20 horses from the stable. They fled to the north, but were caught by pursuers near the Wei River and killed. Ashina Hexiangu was exiled to Lingbiao.[3]
After this incident, however, the officials began advocating sending Turks (or Tujue as they were known to the Chinese) away from the heart of the state. In fall 639, Emperor Taizong created a Göktürk-Tujue prince who had served him faithfully, Li Simo (né Ashina Simo) as the khan of a newly recreated Eastern Tujue state (as Qilibi Khan), giving him all of the Tujue and Hu who had surrendered as his subordinates, to be settled north of the Great Wall and the Yellow River. However, the Tujue people were fearful of Xueyantuo and initially refused to go to their new location. Emperor Taizong issued an edict to Xueyantuo's khan Yi'nan that he and Li Simo keep their peace and not attack each other, and after receiving from Yi'nan the assurance that he would not attack, the Tujue people moved to the new location.

Aftermath
Jiesheshuai's attempted rebellion was unsuccessful. But in 681 they revolted against Tang dynasty and re-established Eastern Turkic khaganate.

Cultural influences
A prominent Turkish nationalist Nihal Atsız used some characteristics of Ashina Jiesheshuai for a fictional character named Kür Şad in the novel Bozkurtların Ölümü (The deaths of gray wolves). However in the novel, the father of Kürşad is not Shibi Khan but Chuluo Khan (Çuluk Han).[8]

Kürşat or Kürşad is a Turkish male name based on a historical character. He is the idealized character of a real person whose name was given as Chie shih shuai (Ashina Jiesheshuai) in the 7th-century Chinese chronicles.

Eastern Turkic Khaganate collapsed in 630 and most of Turkic tribal leaders accepted the suzerainty of Tang China. Tang emperor Taizong tried to subjugate the Turkic tribes by offering posts to Turkic princes. Jiesheshuai of the Ashina house, was appointed as a general. However in 639, he staged a coup to arrest the emperor.[1] He was planning to buy the freedom of Turks and to enthrone Holohu, his nephew as the khagan of Turks. However he couldn't succeed and was executed.[2] Although the plot was unsuccessful, Taizong worried about the closeness of the Turkic tribes which were settled in the area south of Yellow River and changed the policy of Turkic settlement.

Meh Gypsy supremacist bs. It's like Yakuts pretending all Finns are Yakuts.

Ashina very much integrated Huns before raising as ruler tribe. Turkicness undisputed.

The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia infers that between the years 265 and 460 the Ashina had been part of various late Xiongnu confederations.

About 460 they were subjugated by the Rouran, who ousted them from Xinjiang into the Altay Mountains, where the Ashina gradually emerged as the leaders of the early Turkic confederation, known as the Gokturks.

Peoples are just so jaleous of Turks, how cant they be? It was the same all over history.
Japanese pretend their Shinto human-god is Turkic Ashina:

Crusaders and their chroniclers pretended/wrote again and again Seljuk Turks must be linked to them by lineage as they are awesome:
