"Zhong Aiqing, I decided to go out of the city for ten miles to greet each other, I don't know if Zhong Aiqing has any objections?"

His Majesty Li Er's eyes were like torches, and after looking around at the hundreds of civil and military officials above the court, he slowly spoke.

"The ministers are willing to go ten miles out of the city with His Majesty to welcome the soldiers who have returned triumphantly."

The ministers shouted in unison.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, the court will go out of the city with me to welcome the soldiers who have returned triumphantly. From now on, the curfew in Chang'an City will be lifted for ten days, and I want the people of Chang'an City to feel the joy of this victory together. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the people of Chang'an City will definitely welcome the soldiers who have returned triumphantly, and at the same time scold the two old dogs, the Jieli Khan and the Tuli Khan, so that they can feel the taste of being under the fence......"

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling said respectfully.

"Your Majesty Shengming ......"

The ministers echoed in unison.

"Today's court can freely talk about the management of the northern grassland, as long as it can promote the control and control of the grassland in my Tang Dynasty, all Aiqing can speak freely, if any Aiqing has good ideas and strategies, you must not hide your privacy, I look forward to all Aiqing actively contribute to the advice, don't live up to my expectations......"

His Majesty Li Er said in high spirits, and at the same time, his heart began to look forward to what kind of changes the grassland would have in his hands in the future.

So the court was lively for a while, and the ministers actively offered advice and suggestions, planning to jointly stabilize the order of life on the grassland.

His Majesty Li Er, who was in the next court, walked towards the Lizheng Hall in a happy mood, and the beautiful and moving Empress Eldest Sun was sitting by the stove to roast the fire, and when she saw His Majesty Li Er coming in, she immediately got up and said.

"Erlang didn't review the fold today."

"Guanyin, there is no need to review the folds today, they are all admonished in the Xiande Palace."

His Majesty Li Er said with a smile on his face.

"Why?" Empress Eldest Sun asked suspiciously.

"Concubine Ai doesn't know, tomorrow morning, the army of Zhijie and General Wei Chi will escort Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan to Chang'an, I and all the ministers unanimously decided to go out of the city for ten miles to meet each other, and this morning we will focus on how to manage the grassland."

His Majesty Li Er replied truthfully.

"At the same time, I have decided to lift the curfew in Chang'an City for ten days, so that the people of Chang'an City can enjoy with me, I don't know what Guanyin wants?"

"Erlang's intention will definitely make the people of Chang'an City very happy, as for leading the ministers out of the city for ten miles to greet them, the concubines also feel very good, the soldiers will definitely be able to feel Your Majesty's care and love for them, and they will be even more desperate to stabilize the stability of the Tang Dynasty and expand the territory without hesitating to shed blood and sacrifice in the future······."

Empress Eldest Sun's eyebrows flowed, and she talked eloquently, making His Majesty Li Er happy.

"Haha····· Haha····· What Guanyin said is very meaningful. ”

So the two of them sat around the fire and continued to talk about the story of Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan, until they talked about His Majesty Li Er's face became more and more gloomy when they talked about the Weishui Alliance.

Thinking of the Weishui Alliance, His Majesty Li Er was in a cold sweat.

At that time, the strength of Chang'an City was less than 30,000, and most of them were not elite troops.

There was no way to resist the 100,000 iron cavalry led by Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan.

If it weren't for the clever plan of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Shangshu Du Ruhui, His Majesty Li Er and Fang Xuanling personally led the army to the bank of the Weishui River with high spirits, and Chang'an City would be in danger.

In the end, His Majesty Li Er and Fang Xuanling frightened off Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan on the banks of the Weishui River, swore to kill the white horse, and signed the Weishui Alliance.

"Guanyin, Ren Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan would never have dreamed of today, the nightmare that these two tiger wolves brought to the people of the Tang Dynasty will eventually pass, and I can sleep peacefully."

His Majesty Li Er held the hand of Empress Changsun and said gently, his eyes flashing.

"Report ····· General, Your Majesty's Commandment. Tomorrow morning, he and hundreds of civil and military officials will meet the triumphant army ten miles outside the city. ”

The soldiers rushed to Cheng Yanjin and General Wei Chi, and said respectfully.

"Okay, all the soldiers listen, Your Majesty will go out of the city ten miles tomorrow to meet us, this is a great honor. Listen to my order to march all night tonight, and after reaching ten miles outside the city, camp and rest. ”

Cheng Biting Jin's loud voice spread among the soldiers.

"Yes, General·····"

All the soldiers opened their mouths to answer the question, and at the same time quickened the pace of the march.

Until the time of the hour, the army arrived on the official road ten miles away from Chang'an City, Cheng Yanjin immediately ordered the army to rest in place, and the soldiers on duty must take turns to take care of the two captives of Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan.

So the soldiers spontaneously began to be on duty in groups of four, stood the last shift, and waited for the reward from the imperial court after tomorrow.

Soon the sky began to light up, and the east was already full of white belly, and a touch of red was ready to rise from the ground and illuminate the whole earth.

The soldiers on duty wake up the sleeping soldiers, and it is time for the army to get ready for the grand welcome ceremony of His Majesty and the civil and military officials.

The Khan of Jieli and the Khan of Tuli, along with their Kedun, looked at everything in front of them in confusion in their cages.

I don't know what is going to happen, but they feel like it shouldn't be a good thing for them.

Today, His Majesty Li Er got up very early, and stayed directly in the Lizheng Hall at night, although Concubine Yang sent the palace maid to send supplements, but His Majesty Li Er still did not go to Penglai Palace.

"Go back and tell Concubine Yang that I will get up early tomorrow to greet the triumphant soldiers, and I won't go there tonight, let her rest early."

His Majesty Li Er said gently.

"Slaves obey ·····" The palace maid respectfully replied and withdrew from the Lizheng Palace.

"Your Majesty's time is still early, let's sleep a little longer·····" The sound of His Majesty Li Er sitting up at the head of the bed woke up Empress Eldest Sun.

"I'm a little excited, I can't go to bed early." His Majesty Li Er looked back and saw a face that was captivating the country and the city, and the figure of provoking ~ fire, so His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but feel a little difficult to restrain himself.

After some warmth, Empress Eldest Sun snuggled weakly to His Majesty Li Er's side, and there was no longer any strength in her body·····

His Majesty Li Er got up satisfied.

"Erlang, the concubine won't get up to serve you, the concubine is very weak."

Empress Changsun's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze in March, which made people confused.

"Guanyin, rest well, love the concubine hard. I'm going to go outside the Taiji Palace, and there must already be ministers waiting for me outside the palace at this time. ”

His Majesty Li Er held the hand of Empress Changsun and spoke.

The ministers outside the Taiji Palace have basically arrived, and today is a big day, a big day worth remembering in the annals of history, so the ministers all got up very early, lest they be late and make Your Majesty unhappy.

In the distance, there are ministers who come in carriages one after another, and those who are close should have come on foot, and today they have also asked the housekeeper to set up the carriage, because the distance of ten miles is for them, the hundred officials, except for the generals, many people's bodies are unbearable.

The round trip is a distance of twenty miles, and only a horse-drawn carriage is the best choice.

His Majesty Li Er was the last to arrive, and as a result, this one got up early in the morning to catch up with a late meeting, but it's no wonder that he, who made some people too angry.

His Majesty Li Er's majestic and mighty guard of honor was also ready, and thousands of Yulin troops and Praetorian Guards lined up on both sides.

His Majesty Li Er boarded the luxurious carriage on the guard of honor and said slowly.

"Let's go..."

All of a sudden, the entire Chang'an City heard the sound of the horses' hooves of the Yulin Army and the Praetorian Guard, which seemed particularly rhythmic in the morning of Chang'an City.

After His Majesty Li Er's guard of honor and the civil and military officials left the east gate, some bold citizens and early citizens boldly stepped forward to ask the soldiers guarding the city.

As a result, His Majesty and the civil and military officials went out of the city to meet the soldiers who had returned from the Turks.

So the entire Chang'an City boiled in an instant, and the people spread the word of mouth, but it took half an hour to know all about the city.

"You don't know, this time the army not only returned triumphantly, but also escorted Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan back to Chang'an together, it is said that dozens of carriages of gold, silver and jewelry alone cannot be loaded, and there are countless war horses, cattle and sheep······

In front of Tao Xiaosheng's bun shop, a man in a long shirt who was queuing up to buy soup dumplings spoke, causing everyone to look sideways.

"This brother, I wonder if what you said is true? Although what Brother Tai said is very encouraging, I'm afraid it's an exaggeration, right? ”

Behind him, a man in a long shirt who was also polite and polite opened his mouth to question.

"There is still a home here, my lord took a carriage early in the morning to follow His Majesty out of the city to greet the triumphant general, my lord is a servant of the court officials, how can he be arrogant and talk nonsense?"

The words of the man in the long shirt made everyone have to open their eyes wide and even their mouths opened wide, and they now believe that the words of the man in the long shirt are true, because no one dares to pretend to be the official's butler now, which is a felony according to Tang Law.

"In this way, this matter is really true, man, this morning's soup dumplings will be steamed dozens of more baskets, and I want to send them to the soldiers who have returned triumphantly to taste the delicious taste of this Chang'an City."

The well-mannered man spoke.

"Yes, let's buy a few more each, waiting for the soldiers to return to the city, they are afraid that they haven't eaten a hot meal for a few days·····"

One person seconded the proposal, hundreds of people responded, and finally after the people in line knew the truth of the matter, more and more people spontaneously covered the hot soup dumplings and lined up at the East City Gate to wait for the soldiers who returned triumphantly.

One to ten, ten to hundred, one hundred to thousand····· When the sun shone on the earth, the whole city of Chang'an was empty.

"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north..."

The loud sound of the national anthem of Jingzhong Bao sounded over the official road ten miles away from Chang'an City, making His Majesty Li Er and the civil and military officials also boil with enthusiasm.

"The dignified Tang Dynasty wants to let the Quartet ····· Come to congratulate. ”

After finishing the song, the song rose again, until His Majesty Li Er's Yulin Army and Praetorian Guard appeared on the official road, and His Majesty Li Er's honor guard also appeared in the eyes of the soldiers.

Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde raised their left hands vigorously, and the soldiers immediately stopped their heroic singing.

Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde straddled their horses and went straight to His Majesty Li Er's guard of honor.

Fifty meters away from His Majesty Li Er, the two turned over and dismounted, and strode in front of His Majesty Li Er.

"Your Majesty, the last general is fortunate to live up to his name, and has brought the Najieli Khan and the Tuli Khan back to Chang'an, and the soldiers of this war entrusted His Majesty's blessings, and did not hurt a single soldier in the battle, and the list of gold, silver, jewelry and war horses seized was also invited to Your Majesty to personally see."

Cheng Yanjin and General Wei Chi opened their mouths loudly. After speaking, Cheng Yanjin handed over the list of seizures in his hand to His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and opened the list, and in an instant, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his face became more ruddy.

"The two generals have worked hard, I specially brought hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome the two generals and the soldiers who returned triumphantly, you have made immortal contributions to my Tang Dynasty, I will always remember it, and the people of my Tang Dynasty will always remember it, the days of being bullied by the Turkic iron cavalry will be gone forever, I replaced me with tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty, thank you······"

When His Majesty Li Er talked about emotion, his eyes were already red.

Many soldiers have begun to burst into tears, and such imperial words are indeed too touching and warm.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, these are all things that soldiers should do, and maintaining the stability of the Tang Dynasty is the unshirkable responsibility and obligation of our soldiers." Cheng Yanjin relayed what Tao Ran had said to him in the original form to His Majesty Li Er.

"Okay, what Zhijie said, I am very relieved."

His Majesty Li Er was flushed, and said happily.

"Pull the two old dogs, the Turki Khan and the Jieli Khan, and their Kedun up to show your majesty. It's time for them to come and bow before His Majesty. ”

Cheng Yanjin commanded loudly.

"Okay, pull the two of them up, and let the civil and military officials see what they look like now."

His Majesty Li Er could not hide his excitement in his words.

Soon the Jali Khan and the Tuli Khan, who were in a cage, were pulled by the soldiers in a carriage.

"You didn't expect to have today, right? However, the soldiers are really good to the two of them, and they actually let you come to Chang'an in a carriage. It's time for the two of you to settle the old accounts of the new and old feuds over the years. ”

His Majesty Li Er scolded viciously with a gloomy face.

"Li Shimin, you are not true to your words, and you actually sent troops to attack the tribe with me and the Tuli Khan, you are not convinced."

Jieli Khan said with his head held high, but the iron cage doomed his head to be too high.

"Don't be ashamed to say that we have attacked your Turkic tribes without faith, over the years, you have touched your conscience, how many times have you sneaked up on our Tang Frontier, sneak attacked our people's chariots, horses, cattle and sheep, and even with the women who plagued us, have you committed fewer heinous crimes? The reason why I let a few generals keep your dog's life until now is to let the people of the world see your current embarrassed appearance····· The humiliation that my people have suffered will be returned to you in the end. ”

His Majesty Li Er's words made Zhang Lin, who came with the people of the border area, unable to help but cry like rain.
