Li Shimin looked at Jieli below and thought for a long time, Jieli is the monarch on the grassland, this is a reality that cannot be changed, whether to kill or release, these two different paths will determine the diplomatic route and border stability of the Tang Dynasty in the next few decades. 35xs

After a while, Li Shimin raised his head, "I think that since Jieli Khan has arrived in Datang, I, Datang, have always been able to convince people with virtue, and I should also give him a way to live, what do you think?" ”

Li Shimin looked around, looking at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Wang Qi and Gao Shilian, these people are the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty at present, and the fate of Jieli will also be discussed by them.

The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Shimin's thoughts, got up and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, but now it is so simple to pardon Jieli, and the minister still thinks it is inappropriate!" ”

Li Shimin looked at his brother-in-law, who had worked together for so many years, and he knew best what he was thinking, "Oh, what do you think about the auxiliary machine?" ”

"The minister thinks that let Jieli become an official of my Datang, so that everyone in the world will understand, my Datang not only released Jieli, but also gave him a very good treatment, although the scenery on the grassland is beautiful, but the material is scarce, it is comparable to the prosperity and richness of my Chang'an City, and the Khan is also old, why don't you let him enjoy happiness and retirement in Chang'an?"

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, or the auxiliary machine knows my heart best, in fact, although he wants to spare Jieli's life, but he will definitely not let the tiger return to the mountain, Hu people are treacherous and cunning, capricious, especially now Jieli has understood the reason for his failure, if he goes back and comes back to another salary, then he will not become a fool?

And this Jieli is a banner for Datang to maintain the stability of the grassland, and the various ethnic groups on the grassland will be relieved when they see that Jieli Datang did not kill him! It's nothing more than another tribe to rule the grassland!

So Jieli can't die yet, but such words can't be spoken, the decision-making of the auxiliary machine is really good, and the fact that Jieli is under house arrest in Chang'an under a high-sounding excuse makes people have nothing to say, and I have to say that the Tang Dynasty is broad-minded. 35xs

Li Shimin was in a good mood after solving the matter of Jieli, and his words became relaxed, and he said, "What the auxiliary machine said is good, I have the practice of all countries in the Central Plains, and the monarch of any country, as long as he surrenders, must be knighted, what title do you think is appropriate?" ”

The people who can stand in this hall, which one is not a human spirit, Li Shimin has already clearly said what he wants to be knighted, and it is not his own trouble to express his objections.

Wang Jue was the first to stand up and said loudly, "What Lord Eldest Sun said is extremely true, although Jieli has done great evil to the people of the Tang Dynasty in the grassland, he is also the king of a country, His Majesty is magnanimous, and he is willing to repay his grievances with virtue, and the ministers congratulate His Majesty!" ”

Wang Qi is the representative of the scholar clan in the court, and as soon as he spoke out, he basically settled the matter. The others rarely objected.

Fang Xuanling and others also agreed with the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin smiled, his eyes turned to Jieli, the chance to survive has been given to Jieli, it depends on whether you are interested!

How can Jie Li say that he is also a person who has been a leader, how can he not know what Li Shimin and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty think?

Now Datang is telling you in a dignified manner, leaving your life is to let you be an example of a good relationship between Datang and the grassland, so that the rest of the Turkic tribes on the grassland can see that Datang is broad-minded, and it is best to come to take refuge in it, what is the purpose of the war, don't you just want to live a good life, you see Jieli surrendered and lived this kind of life, so what else to fight, let's all take refuge in Datang!.

The ball was kicked in front of me, and my attitude has become the reason for the Turks and the Tang Dynasty to go to war, how should I choose?

Jieli looked at the eyes of the surrounding Tang Dynasty ministers focused on him, waiting for his answer.

He glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, back then this person's father had an idea to divide the Turks into two parts, and now he has such a ruthless idea, I really want to say that I don't want to accept it.

It's a pity that the axiom of true fragrance is there, Jieli has no choice, he stood up, closed his eyes, walked to the center of the hall, and said with five bodies, "The criminal minister Jieli greets my emperor." ”

Li Shimin looked at the opponent who had forced him to be embarrassed a few years ago, but now he was kneeling in front of him, he was overjoyed, and he couldn't bear to laugh and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, when you go back, discuss with a few people in the political hall, and you must arrange a suitable title for Jieli Khan!" ”

"Command!"

The guards took Jieli down, Li Shimin excitedly got out of the dragon chair and circled in the hall, and the rest of the loyal ministers were also happy to turn their heads and ears, and heard the little eunuch shouting again, "The former Empress Dowager Xiao, the former abolished prince Yang Zhengdao will meet you!" ”

Li Shimin stopped at this name and was stunned for a moment, speaking of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui is his cousin, and this Empress Xiao is his cousin-in-law, but time has changed, and the position of the monarch and minister has been reversed.

Empress Xiao was in front and Yang Zhengdao was behind, and the two walked in, the steps in front were calm, and the back was cringe.

Walking more than a dozen steps away from Li Shimin, he bowed deeply and said, "Concubine Xiao, please meet His Majesty the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Yang Zhengdao in the back also followed: "Yang Zhengdao, the prince of the Great Sui, greets His Majesty the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Shimin didn't return to the dragon chair, just stood in the center of the hall and said, "You guys are flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two raised their heads and looked at Li Shimin.

Looking at Empress Xiao's somewhat gray hair, and looking at Yang Zhengdao, who is a little similar to his cousin Yang Guang, Li Shimin has mixed feelings.

When he was still young, he was full of spirits, Emperor Yang of Sui Yanmen was surrounded by Turks, and he sent a letter to gather the world's soldiers and horses in the river, and he also organized a team to go to Yanmen, at that time he saw the beautiful and dignified Empress Xiao, and then the Sui Dynasty fell, Empress Xiao was taken away by Yu Wenhua and, Dou Jiande, and then went to the Turks, went through hardships, and was displaced, and now she is just an old woman.

Li Shimin said: "Xiao Shi, although you set up the banner of the former Sui in the grassland, I know that it was not your intention, you and your daughter fell into the hands of the enemy, and you were forced to be helpless. After thinking about it, he said, "You are also my cousin-in-law, and Xiao Yu's sister, I can't treat you too much, so let's do it, I will set aside a house in Chongyangfang, where you and Yang Zhengdao live, I hope you can live in peace, don't think about anything wrong!" ”

Before Empress Xiao could speak, Xiao Yu had already snatched her out, "Thank you for the emperor's grace of innocence!" ”

He has a deep relationship with his sister Empress Xiao, but unfortunately Li Shimin didn't speak at this time, and he didn't dare to come out. Empress Xiao also pulled Yang Zhengdao and bowed down and said, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

Xiao Yu withdrew from the hall with them, and Li Shimin looked at the somewhat silent minister and smiled, "The surface articles have been done, shouldn't we talk about how to reward this merit?"
