Chapter 348: Offering Prisoners

The next day, as the early spring sun shone on the mottled walls of Chang'an, on the north bank of Weishui, a continuous crowd of people stopped there, and countless figures scurried behind it.

And in front of this huge team, a sturdy middle-aged man shouted loudly to Chang'an City in the distance, "I am back with gold"

That's right, this team is the Turkic captives escorted by Cheng Yanjin, and they will build a new palace in Chang'an for the Tang Li family.

"Old goblin, don't howl there, hurry up and finish arranging these people, let's go into the palace to face the saint, otherwise so many people eat horses and chew, and it will cost a lot of money a day" Looking at Cheng Yanjin's excited appearance, Chai Shao himself was also very excited, but he still reminded him.

"Yes, yes, let's go to the palace to face the saint, get rid of this burden, I'll go to the East Palace to fight the autumn breeze" Hearing Chai Shao's words, Cheng Yanjin reacted, and then said with a scoundrel face.

"You" Chai Shao saw Cheng biting Jin like this, and shook his head helplessly.

Then the two of them arranged there, and when they were finished, they took Jieli Khan's family in the royal court and Tuli Khan, as well as Empress Dowager Xiao and Yang Zhengdao and other former Sui family members to Chang'an City.

And after Cheng Biting Jin and them left, the people who came and went to Chang'an would stop and watch when they looked at the endless prisoner camps.

"Dao'er, this has entered the palace, you have to see more and talk less, understand!" Empress Dowager Xiao sat in the carriage and told Yang Zhengdao from time to time.

"Grandma, grandma understands, he will not talk nonsense, but grandma, this Chang'an city is so prosperous" Yang Zhengdao did not have a trace of boredom with his grandmother's advice, but accepted it humbly, but he was still a person who had not seen much of the world, and after entering Chang'an from the convoy, he looked out from time to time.

"Alas" Seeing Yang Zhengdao like this, Empress Dowager Xiao's heart was sour, and she sat there not knowing what to think.

At this time, in the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin was discussing state affairs with the courtiers, and suddenly a hundred horsemen ran to the front of the Liangyi Hall from the outside and said something to the guards.

"Report, Your Majesty, the general of the Jin Wuwei Cheng Biting Jin, the general of the right guard Chai Shao, and the Turkic captives are waiting in front of the palace to meet you" The guard heard the report of the hundred horsemen, and immediately reported to Li Shimin, who was sitting at the head of the Liangyi Palace.

With the report of the guards, there was a brief silence in the Liangyi Palace, and then the ministers, under the leadership of the eldest grandson Wuji, congratulated Li Shimin one after another.

"Hurry up Xuancheng bite Jin and Chai Shao enter the hall" Facing the congratulations of the ministers, Li Shimin said to the guards with a smile on his face.

Soon Cheng Yanjin and Chai Shao followed the guards to the Liangyi Palace, and as soon as they arrived, they immediately shouted to Li Shimin, "The minister Chai Shao (Cheng Yanjin) has seen Your Majesty, and the ministers have been ordered by Your Majesty to lead the troops to attack the Turkic rebels who came to attack, and won a complete victory.

After Cheng Yanjin and Chai Shao finished speaking, Wang De came down and took the piece in Chai Shao's hand and quickly presented it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the concerto, and quickly looked at it, looking at the strips on the concerto, Li Shimin was so happy, especially when he saw that nearly 200,000 Turkic prisoners were escorted to Chang'an, Li Shimin shouted "good, good, good" happily

Seeing that Li Shimin said three good words in a row, the ministers in the palace also looked at Li Shimin with a glorious face, wanting to know what was on the recital, and Li Shimin was so happy.

However, Li Shimin obviously didn't want those ministers to know, and after reading the chapter, he announced his retirement from the court, leaving Du Ruhui and other ministers to go to the Taiji Hall with Cheng Biting Jin Chai Shao to discuss matters.

The other Wenchen generals slowly left the Liangyi Palace, but when they left the Liangyi Hall and walked out, in the small square in front of the Liangyi Palace, they saw a group of Turks such as the Turkic Khan, as well as the former Empress Dowager Xiao and others who came together.

Some of the ministers who surrendered in the former Sui obviously couldn't believe it when they saw the Empress Dowager Xiao, they could still see this former master of them, and they were excited to salute the Empress Dowager Xiao, but when they thought that this was the Tang Dynasty, they could only look at the Empress Dowager Xiao respectfully, and left immediately.

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't say anything, but also glanced at them, and waited there with the others.

And the news that Cheng Yanjin and Chai Shao had returned with Turkic captives also quickly spread throughout Chang'an.

At this time, in Yang Guifei's bedroom, she was eating breakfast with her two sons, when an elderly palace maid ran in in a panic.

"Niangniang, the Queen Mother, her old man has returned from the Turks," the palace maid said excitedly to Yang Guifei.

"What, you said that the queen mother is back, hurry, take the palace over, Ke'er, go quickly" When Yang Guifei heard the palace maid's words, she immediately pulled Li Ke, and the two brothers asked the palace maid to take her forward.

Li Ke and Li Su, who were being pulled, were confused and didn't understand what was going on, so that their mother, who had always been gentle and elegant, became like this, and could only follow them together.

When they came to the Liangyi Hall and looked at the Turks standing in front of them, Li Ke understood a little, especially when they saw the group of women inside, he could feel the mother holding his hand, and his whole arm was trembling.

And Li Ke's arrival also immediately attracted the attention of Empress Dowager Xiao and those Turks, especially some Turks who looked frightened after seeing Li Ke, and some had already knelt down in front of Li Ke, shouting "demon" from time to time

This scene made the hundred horsemen guarding here and the eunuchs and palace maids on duty staring at Li Ke, they really couldn't understand what this King of Shu had done to make those Turks so afraid.

But what surprised them even more was still behind, Yang Guifei, who had been staring at the Empress Dowager Xiao, walked to the Empress Dowager Xiao with tears in her eyes, knelt on the ground and hugged the Empress Dowager Xiao and shouted "Queen Mother, Queen Mother"

"You are a pity, you are a pity, my son, I thought I wouldn't see you anymore, woo woo woo" Empress Dowager Xiao saw Yang Lian at first, and she didn't recognize who she was, but when Yang Lian cried and hugged herself, she knew that the woman in the palace in front of her was her daughter, and she also cried and hugged Yang Lian.

In this way, the mother and daughter hugged and cried in front of the Liangyi Palace.

"Brother, what's going on, why is my mother like this" Li Su, who hadn't reacted yet, looked at Yang Lian, who was hugging and crying, and Empress Dowager Xiao asked Li Ke on the side.

"That's our grandmother, Queen Xiao of the previous dynasty, let's go, let's go too" After speaking, Li Ke took Li Su and walked over.

In fact, when Li Ke was in Xiao Guan, he saw Empress Dowager Xiao and others, but he didn't know that it was his grandmother at the time, and even when he passed by them, Li Ke also looked at them and felt that they had a good temperament, but he really didn't expect that this would be his relatives.
