Chapter 132 This is the demeanor of a great country
"Guanyin, as the Lin family boy said, there is no difference."
After His Majesty Li Er greeted the triumphant army, he immediately returned to the Lizheng Palace.
"Jieli Khan, first kowtowed and knelt, then wept bitterly, and finally was willing to surrender to me, and serve me as the Khan of Heaven......"
When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she covered her mouth in surprise.
I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
"Erlang, this is amazing, isn't it, could it be that the kid from the Lin family has mind reading skills?"
"Even if he had the ability to read minds, he would have to see Jieli Khan to know all this?"
"But when he said this to us yesterday afternoon, the army had not yet arrived in Chang'an."
"It's even more unlikely that he's ever seen Jieli Khan, which is puzzling, what a magical young man."
Empress Eldest Sun said with emotion.
For the people of Chang'an City, today is really a good day.
The Eastern Turks were completely wiped out and disintegrated by the crusading army, and Jieli Khan was captured alive in Chang'an.
Now that he is locked in an iron cage and parades through the streets, it is really a very happy thing.
The people picked up the bricks and tiles, stones, cabbage, wooden sticks, etc., and beckoned to the Jieli Khan in the iron cage.
The attitude of the people of the Great Wall City towards Jieli Khan was definitely warm.
The hot essence of Jieli Khan blocked it with his left hand and blocked it with his right hand.
Even if it resists left and right, it is still impossible to resist, and the people of Chang'an City are full of fiery hearts.
In the end, Jieli Khan was still moved to tears.
This cry is like the water of the Yangtze River that is endless, and it is also like the Yellow River flooding out of control.
Tears slid down Jieli Khan's fingers and fell on the bluestone pavement of Chang'an City.
It condenses into ice in an instant.
"Childe, today's Chang'an City is lively, and the people are chasing a carriage in a crowd, constantly throwing things on the carriage."
"After careful inquiry, the subordinates learned that it turned out that the carriage cage was held by the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turkic tribe."
"I heard that His Majesty has given an order, and in three days, I will ask for beheading at the noon gate."
Liu Teng, who had just returned from Chang'an City, excitedly reported the latest news of Chang'an City to Lin Ran.
Now Lin Ran asks Liu Teng every day to tell him about the big and small things that have happened in Chang'an City recently, but all the things that the people are hotly talking about.
Liu Teng sells vegetables in the vegetable market, and he can hear the market dialect of Chang'an City the most.
Recently, the benefits of greenhouse vegetables have far exceeded the sum of several other benefits.
Because the tender green vegetables in this season are too attractive and lethal to the people of Chang'an City.
It's so big that people can't resist at all.
In addition, the output of vegetables in the greenhouse is already limited, and the people and soldiers of Linjia Village also consume a lot every day.
Therefore, the truth that scarcity is precious has not changed.
"Okay, it seems that although General Li did not send someone to secretly deal with Jieli Khan, he conveyed the advice of this son, so His Majesty changed his mind and wanted to kill Jieli Khan."
"My son's hard work is not in vain."
"The village chief, the village chief. The officers and soldiers came with potatoes and said that they had returned them to our Linjia Village. ”
Liu Laohan's happy face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Lao Liu, just take them back to the warehouse, General Li has already informed me about this matter yesterday."
"Okay, village chief. This Lao Li is still a little conscientious. ”
Liu Laohan left happily, humming a little song in his mouth.
As for why Liu Laohan was so happy and hummed a little song?
Because Lin Ran really introduced him to a little widow from another village.
The little widow was not only a good person, but also a good kung fu.
Only Liu Laohan can carefully experience the taste......
On the night he was taken home, Liu Laohan worked hard all night.
As for why people know that Liu Laohan worked hard all night, it was all thanks to his son Liu Gen.
Liu Gen came to class the next day and was wilted, and his upper and lower eyelids were constantly fighting.
Lin Ran felt very strange when he saw this, this Liu Gen was a good student with excellent character and learning.
"Liu Gen, Liu Gen..."
Lin Ran shouted twice, and Liu Gen stood up slowly.
"Isn't you feeling well, Liu Gen."
Lin Ran asked with concern.
"Teacher, I'm fine."
"It's okay, why are you so unenergetic, you don't look like you've woken up?"
"I didn't sleep well last night."
Liu Gen replied with a pout.
"Why didn't you sleep well? Insomnia? ”
Lin Ran was very surprised in his heart, it stands to reason that a child of this age has not yet reached the time of insomnia!
"Last night, I saw my father holding down my stepmother and beating me all night, and my stepmother kept crying······"
When Lin Ran heard this, he was instantly petrified on the spot.
Liu Laohan, Liu Laohan, you don't shy away from doing things with children?
So Lin Ran, who was furious, called Liu Laohan to the square on the spot, and reprimanded him fiercely in front of many villagers on the spot.
When the villagers heard this, the women covered their mouths and ran away, but the old men listened with relish.
"Old Uncle Liu, admire, admire. You can still be so good at such an age, my Tiedan's admiration for you is like what the village chief said, just like the water of the Yangtze River is endless······"
Tie Dan's words made the men in the entire square burst into laughter.
So Liu Laohan became famous from that day on, and the entire Linjia Village knew that Liu Laohan was able to hold down his daughter-in-law and beat him all night.
How fucking horrible is that?
It dwarfs the men of Linjia Village.
Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, Changsun Chong, Wei Chi Baolin and others were finally rewarded as Captain Zhichong.
This is something that even Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, as well as Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde and other adults did not expect.
Now Datang's promotion basically relies on military merits, although these stinky boys have very awesome fathers, but if they have made military merits with their abilities, it will be another matter.
The former Chang'an Sishao and Chang'an Sijie are synonymous with the sons of gentlemen.
A lot of people are pointing fingers behind their backs.
It also broke the hearts of several adults.
Now in just one year, the former brother has become a hero of the country and a pillar of the country.
The changes are great, and the changes are many.
It's impressive.
The eight Orichong Lieutenants wore imposing lieutenant uniforms.
Riding a tall horse, he came to Linjia Village in high spirits.
They were to share the joy of this victory with their brothers at the first time.
Share the joy of this success.
"Little Nine, Little Nine. The brothers are back. ”
Cheng Chumo turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the door of the school.
"The brothers returned triumphantly, and Xiao Jiu was very pleased."
Lin Ran looked at the eight sworn brothers in official uniforms and high spirits, and laughed happily.
The day of execution has come.
The fiery sun rises from the east.
This is the last sun that Jieli Khan can see in this world.
Tomorrow's sun, even if he leaves his eyes on the gate tower of Chang'an City.
He won't see it either, because even the eyeballs on the tower of the city gate will probably be used as a ball by the angry soldiers and civilians.
The great sword of justice was raised, and the head of the evil fell to the ground.
In the excited cheers and cheers of the people of Chang'an City.
Jieli Khan ended his life of sin.
No one thought that he would leave his life in Chang'an City forever.
Jieli Khan was beheaded in Chang'an, and finally ended up with no bones left.
The news soon spread to the various tribes on the grassland, as well as the leaders of many small countries in the Western Regions, all of whom were frightened.
Of these tribes and small nations, one counts as one.
That one didn't cause trouble in Datang's side?
Which one hasn't burned and looted in Datang's side?
Which one's ass is clean?
It's just that what they do is much more restrained than that of Jieli Khan.
Not so blatantly reckless as Jieli Khan.
Now the news is coming.
After Jieli Khan was captured, he was beheaded in public in Chang'an City.
And the body was hung on the city gate tower for public display.
As a result, the flesh on his body was cut clean by the people.
In the end, not a single bone remained.
It is said that he was taken by a large black wild dog······
Now Datang's attitude towards Jieli Khan made them all start to panic.
One by one, I really experienced the taste of ants on the hot pot.
As a result, dozens of tribal leaders, large and small, gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures in a solemn manner.
As a result, the discussion lasted several days and nights.
During the meeting, the mutton was roasted, but there were not many really nutritious meetings and speeches.
Finally, after much deliberation, they unanimously decided to catch up with the cattle and sheep, and bring gold, silver and jewelry.
Go to Chang'an to atone for your sins.
"Lin Gongzi, please be sure to accept these gifts, this is a reward from His Majesty to this general, if there is no Lin Gongzi's advice, this general can't be a general, how can these rewards come?"
His Majesty Li Er went here to bring the generous gifts of the three carriages and came to visit Linjia Village.
Liu Laohan, who was directly happy to guard the village gate, couldn't close his mouth.
"Doesn't General Li leave some for Xiao Li to marry his daughter-in-law?"
"Lin Gongzi said with a smile, the current general is still enough, and it is enough for the dog to marry ten or eight daughters-in-law."
The conversation between the two provoked the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he lowered his head in shame.
Why is it always me who is injured, I was really shot while lying down?
"It's just that after the general beheaded His Majesty according to Lin Gongzi's intentions, there are still many tribes in the grasslands of the Western Regions, I don't know if they have to be wiped out like they did with Jieli Khan?"
His Majesty Li Er came with a big problem this time.
He had discussed this issue several times with several important ministers, but to no avail.
The problem with the dispute in the court is that the countries in the Western Regions are too far away from Chang'an, and even after the attack, how to manage it is an important issue that has to be considered.
Then there is the problem of the supply of military rations, and the fact that the long journey has brought about an equally serious shortage of military rations for the army.
His Majesty Li Er, who had been plagued by many problems, had not yet recovered from the joy of killing Jieli Khan, and was puzzled by the new troubles.
"General Li, listen to Ben Gongzi's words. Just one word. ”
"Wait ······"
Lin Ran opened his mouth and replied.
"Wait ······"
His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun were puzzled when they heard this, and the crown prince Li Chengqian was even more puzzled by the second monk.
"Yes, wait."
"When the news reaches the tribes and countries of the Western Regions, they will naturally come to the door and respect His Majesty as the true Heavenly Khan, and there is no need to waste a single soldier of our army."
Lin Ran said with a calm and relaxed look.
His Majesty Li Er gasped.
"Is what Childe said true?"
"General Li will have news in less than a month, you just wait."
"Okay, Lin Gongzi, one month is one month, this general believes you."
His Majesty Li Er drank a large bowl of wine deeply and responded.
The gifts of the three major carriages that His Majesty Li Er brought with him when he came were all kept in the end.
Lin Ran gladly accepted it, but if he deliberately pushed it, it would seem that he was too pretentious.
"Your Majesty, the guards at the East City Gate are in urgent charge."
"Representatives of the vassal states of the Western Regions and the tribes of the steppe arrived in Chang'an City, and they prayed to see Your Majesty."
"And they all come with heavy gifts, this is a gift list."
His Majesty Li Er, who was in the court meeting in the Hall of Xiande, heard the words and stood up excitedly.
Many civil and military officials also opened their eyes wide.
Especially Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, they personally heard His Majesty say it a few days ago.
These steppe tribes will come to Chang'an City to plead guilty.
Now it's only been a few days, and it has made His Majesty say a word?
When will Your Majesty be able to pinch it? Throughout?
"Xuan, the patriarchs of the grassland tribes and the princes of the Western Regions will come to the Xiande Palace."
His Majesty Li Er said with a bright face.
His Majesty Li Er remembered Lin Ran's words, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart.
The chiefs of various tribes and tribes on the northwest grassland, large and small, old and young, came hundreds of people.
Their purpose was simple and straightforward.
It is surrender.
It is confession.
It's Nagon.
It is worship.
"Respected Heavenly Khan, our four monarchs unanimously passed to respect Heavenly Khan as the lord of the world from now on."
"We are willing to become a subordinate tribe of the Heavenly Khan, and pay tribute every year as a congratulatory gift to the Heavenly Khan."
"Please also ask the Heavenly Khan, for the sake of the thin face of our four monarchs, to accept the requests of our steppe tribes, the great Heavenly Khan, who shines with the sun and the moon······"
I have to say that these people who came from the grassland still have two blows on their lips.
Not only did His Majesty Li Er say it, but his heart was full of joy.
The civil and military officials were also touted with high spirits.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."
The civil and military officials saluted respectfully and shouted loudly.
"Congratulations to the Khan, congratulations to the Khan."
"Congratulations to the Khan, congratulations to the Khan."
The hundreds of people who came from the steppe tribe were also not to be outdone, and shouted with all their might.
"Haha... Haha··· I'm so relieved. Sit down..."
His Majesty Li Er, Long Yan Dayue, gave the Siyi Monarch a seat.
As the young man of Linjia Village said, as soon as the sword comes out, who will compete?
Datang is making great strides towards the goal of becoming a strong country and a rich country.
"Ladies and gentlemen, should I accept the title of Heavenly Khan?"
"Should the Tang Dynasty accept tribute from the tribes of the grassland?"
"It should be... It should...
The Praetorian Guards of the Hall of Virtue were the first to echo loudly.
"Your Majesty deserves so!"
The ministers shouted in unison!
"Heavenly Khan should be like this!"
Hundreds of people who came to worship shouted in unison!
The temperature in the entire Hall of Virtue is rising rapidly.
His Majesty Li Er was full of red light and radiant.
If there was a word that could replace his mood at this time.
That's [cool]
"Zhong Aiqing is flat, and I have decided to accept the support of the grassland tribes and the vassal states of the Western Regions, and the four Yi monarchs."
"I have decided to make them vassals of the Tang Dynasty and accept their tribute."
"Taishi Bureau, I order you to choose an auspicious day, and I want the people of Chang'an City to watch the worship of the Siyi monarch."
His Majesty Li Er opened his mouth happily and excitedly to announce.
"Your Majesty, three days later will be an auspicious day for the zodiac."
"Okay, three days later. I accept the worship of the four monarchs. ”
The news soon spread throughout Chang'an City.
It has spread all over the north and south of the Tang Dynasty with lightning speed.
Many patriots rushed to Chang'an overnight after receiving the news, just to witness this exciting moment.
"Childe, the biggest news today is that Your Majesty will accept the worship of the four monarchs in three days."
"From now on, the grassland tribes and the vassal states of the Western Regions will be the vassal states of our Tang Dynasty."
"Childe, the people of Chang'an City are going crazy today, and our vegetables are being snapped up."
"The subordinates came from the Four Seasons Restaurant, and Liu Peng's shopkeeper said that the restaurant had already booked a banquet five days later."
Lin Ran couldn't help but smile when he heard this, it seemed that everything was as he expected, although because of his accession to history, he changed the Eastern Turks and changed the fate of Jieli Khan.
However, the fact that the four Yi monarchs came to worship was only in advance.
However, Lin Ran believed that this advance represented many meanings.
It represents that the Siyi monarch is definitely not as hypocritical and committed to the Tang Dynasty as in history.
History because after Jieli Khan was captured, Li Shimin not only did not kill him, but also treated him very favorably, even the Eastern Turkic captives were also treated preferentially.
Not to mention the good food, good drink, and good hospitality.
Moreover, he was crowned an official and knighted, purchased a house, and sent a maid to the palace maid.
Give gold and silver, and send treasures.
Because of this, the tribes in the northwest grassland have pink eye.
It is a good thing that a defeated and captured prisoner can be treated like this, which is simply undreamable.
Therefore, the tribes gathered together and unanimously decided to come to Chang'an City to join Li Shimin.
Sure enough, the tribute they brought was exchanged for a gift that was far greater than their own value.
However, now it is different from history.
After Jieli Khan was brought back to Chang'an City, he was beheaded in public, and he was the kind with no bones left.
None of the Turkic captives brought back came to a good end.
The vast majority of the territory of the Mongolian Plateau has become the backyard of the Tang Dynasty.
Obviously, this time the surrender of the Siyi monarch was frightened by the fate of Jieli Khan.
These people are also smart, and they gather together for a meeting that ends up with a result. Today's Datang can't afford to offend.
If they don't surrender now, maybe not in a year or two.
The fate is the same as that of Jieli Khan.
To put it bluntly, this worship is the result of deterrence by force.
Three days later, the east gate of Chang'an City.
The worship site has long been surrounded by the people who came to watch, and it is the inner and outer three floors.
It's dense and impassable.
The Yulin Army and the Praetorian Guard, the Left Dragon Guard, the Right Dragon Guard.
All of them are dispatched for the safety of the site today.
His Majesty Li Er was dressed in a dragon robe and sat on a tall and mighty guard of honor.
His expression was serious, but he couldn't hide his excitement.
His eyes were slightly open, but he was not angry.
The tribes that came to worship this time included all the tribes of the grassland.
After today, for Datang. The north is worry-free.
The Mongolian plateau is carefree.
Representatives of the tribes of the steppe and the vassal states of the Western Regions.
Witnessed by millions of people in Chang'an City, they bowed to His Majesty Li Er one by one.
One by one, they handed over the credentials they were willing to surrender.
Many people shed tears of emotion······
Yes, tears of excitement.
Seeing the once invincible grassland tribes, now they knelt down respectfully in front of His Majesty Li Er.
Kneeling down in front of the people of Chang'an City.
A sense of great power pride arises.
This is the style of a great country.
After the worship, His Majesty Li Er looked around and was excited, and the people who were cheering were also very excited.
He waved a rare wave to the crowd.
It attracted applause and cheers from the people like a stormy wave.
"Your Majesty is waving at me."
"Your Majesty is smiling at me."
"Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open, okay? It was clear that His Majesty was waving at me and smiling at me. ”
"It's scary not to know ······ self-knowledge"
His Majesty Li Er returned to the palace under the escort of the Yulin Army and the Praetorian Guard, as well as the left and right Shenwu Guards, the civil and military officials, and the leaders of the various tribes in the grassland.
At the Royal Palace, there was also a grand banquet.
This grand banquet was specially prepared for this pilgrimage.
These days, for the resettlement of the various tribes of the steppe.
It can be said that His Majesty Li Er was very troubled.
I don't know how many brain cells are left racking my brains and exhausting them, but I still haven't reached a consensus with the ministers.
The party headed by Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, advocated the idea that those who are not of our race must have different hearts.
They were not allowed to be appointed as officials in the court.
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling advocated the idea of inclusiveness.
Both sides are thinking about Datang and the country.
They are all based on reason, and they will not give an inch.
His Majesty Li Er watched the dispute between the two sides every time, but he couldn't come up with a feasible plan.
The only way to do this is to go to Linjia Village in person and listen to the opinions of Prince Xiaolin.
If I knew this, I would have asked directly about the placement strategy last time.
If this matter is not arranged well, there will be endless troubles.
Just returned to the Taiji Palace, His Majesty Li Er changed into his regular clothes and prepared to attend a grand banquet.
Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling hurried over.
"Your Majesty thinks it's ······"
"Your Majesty thinks it's ······"
His Majesty Li Er looked at the posture of these two sides, and knew that it was still for the grassland tribe.
"Two Aiqing, don't argue about this matter anymore. After the banquet, accompany me to Linjia Village to find answers. ”
His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.
"Minister, obey the order."
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling certainly knew who His Majesty Li Er was referring to.
However, Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng didn't know.
He touched his head, looking confused.
Looking for answers in Linjia Village?
Could it be that the answer is hidden in the village of the Lin family?
Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng was puzzled.
Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Zheng's bewildered and depressed expression, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, look at each other and smile.
