The Great Turkic Khanate was defeated, and the Turkic Jieli Khan was captured, finally eradicating the great trouble and biggest threat since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

After the news was transmitted back to China, the whole country of Datang was jubilant, raising their eyebrows, rejoicing, and celebrating together.

Even the Emperor Li Yuan was overjoyed, he had been groveling under the Turkic Y power, very aggrieved, this time he finally shamed, he felt angry, he summoned more than a dozen ministers, as well as kings, princesses, princesses, etc., to Lingyan Pavilion to celebrate. On a whim, Li Yuan personally played the pipa and danced, and the ministers also stood up one after another to raise their glasses in congratulations, which lasted until late at night.

The news that the Great Turks were defeated by the Tang Dynasty was like a bolt from the blue, which stunned the countries around the Tang Dynasty, and they all became honest, especially Tuyuhun, who had been making trouble at the border, was so frightened that he no longer dared to make any rash moves. He also presented a batch of horses to Datang for the first time to congratulate him. Other neighboring countries have also sent rich gifts.

In 628 AD, after the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Great Turkic Khanate, Li Shimin adopted Xia Xue's suggestion, and did not take the usual measures of separation and dismemberment in history, but adopted the policy of "all their tribes and follow their local customs", respected and preserved the social organization and customs of the Turks, and set up the four prefectures of Shun, You, Hua and Chang in the area from Youzhou in the east to Lingzhou in the west, and properly resettled the Turkic households, and set up the Dingxiang and Yunzhong governors in the Turkic original residence to manage the Turkic residents. The governors of these prefectures were all Turkic chieftains and could be hereditary. The enlightened and friendly policy soon paid off.

Li Shimin was embraced as the "Heavenly Khan" by the Hui, Turkic, Tiele, Dangxiang, Khitan, Xi and other tribes, and became the co-lord and supreme leader of all ethnic groups.

……

Soon after the destruction of the Great Turkic Khanate, the Tang Dynasty welcomed their Tang Empress - the Queen of the Angel Kingdom. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty decreed that the whole country should celebrate for a month and grant amnesty to the world.

Xia Xue agreed to hold the wedding according to the big wedding ceremony of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, because the wedding had to be married from her mother's family, Xia Xue returned to the home of Chang'an's mother Mrs. Gao and her brother eldest grandson Wuji in advance.

Mrs. Gao, grandmother, aunt, and cousin learned that the queen of the angel kingdom was the eldest grandson Xue, and they were so surprised that tears came out of their eyes. Mrs. Gao held one of Xia Xue's hands and was so happy that she couldn't cry, while her grandmother held her other hand and kept chanting: "I'll just say it, I'll just say it, my granddaughter is a fairy descending from heaven, it must be extraordinary!" ”

The etiquette of marrying the queen in the Tang Dynasty is more cumbersome and very grand, mainly including the ceremonial procedures such as Nacai, Nazheng, canonization, Fengying, Heyu, court, edict, celebration, banquet, etc., and the cave room is generally located in Kunning Palace.

The so-called Nacai is to give an engagement bride price to the queen's mother's family. Xia Xue's maiden family is, of course, her mother Mrs. Gao, her brother eldest grandson Wuji, her uncle Gao Shilian, her grandmother, her aunt, her cousin Gao Cheng and others.

Of course, the bride price given by the Tang Emperor Li Shimin was quite rich, including a large number of horses, gold, silver, jewelry, silk, etc., as well as two newly built villas and manors in Chang'an.

The bride price team was led by the special wedding envoy of Emperor Li Shimin, starting from the Taihe Palace, out of the middle door of the Taihe Gate, and all the way to the queen's mother's house.

According to etiquette, it should be the queen's father and brother who greeted them outside the gate of the mansion in advance, and when they saw the envoy arrive, they kowtowed and thanked them. Because his father has passed away, his elder brother eldest grandson Wuji greeted him outside the gate of the mansion, and the eldest grandson Wuji received the bride price according to the gift list. After the ceremony, the envoy returned to the palace to report to Emperor Li Shimin.

Before getting married, there will be a big ceremony. In addition to saddles and horses, it is necessary to add 2,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 horses of satin, gold and silver tea sets, silver basins and other affordable goods. What is more important is to establish the "name", which is the canonization of the queen's ceremony. The emperor held a grand ceremony in the Taihe Palace, announced the canonization of Changsun Xue as the queen, and handed over the golden seal and gold book awarded to the empress to the special envoy, who was ordered to escort the queen's golden seal and golden book to the queen's mother's house, and announced to the queen's elder brother Changsun Wuji, and then the female official of the accompanying palace read the book to the queen.

After the above etiquette is completed, it is time to marry the queen. Fengying is the most grand and complicated of the emperor's wedding ceremonies. The day before the celebration, the inside and outside of the Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace had been decorated with joy. The front and back three halls of the palace are all set up with red ribbons, and the big red double happiness words, auspicious words, auspicious patterns, and paper-cutting can be seen everywhere. From the Daqing Gate to the Kunning Palace, the blue and white stone royal road must be covered with red carpets, 400 pairs of street lamps on both sides of the royal road, 30 pairs of various colored lanterns, arranged as if the magpie bridge in the sky.

At the time of the wedding, the Qin Tianjian of the Celestial Phenomena Department carefully calculated the auspicious day and auspicious time. When the auspicious time arrived, the chief eunuch asked the queen's eldest grandson Xue to dress up, and asked the queen to take two apples. The mother, Mrs. Gao, put on a hijab for her daughter's eldest grandson Xue, and put the word "dragon" and a golden ruyi in the emperor's imperial pen into the sedan chair, and the mother's family sent the queen on the sedan chair. The queen is happy to carry the sedan chair for 16 people, the guards hold the Tibetan incense burner in front, 40 red-clothed guards hold the lamp, 160 captains hold 40 pairs of pole lamps, 40 pairs of lanterns, and the ministers of civil and military affairs lead the way and enter the Daqing Gate vigorously.

Stepping on the red carpet, passing through the Chengtian Gate and the End Gate in turn, passing through the Noon Gate, the Taihe Gate, the Zhongzuo Gate, and the Qianqing Gate, to the Qianqing Palace.

The sedan chair stopped in the direction of Tianxi in the south, and the female official of the palace opened the sedan curtain and helped the queen's eldest grandson Xue to get off the sedan chair. The lady took the apple from the queen's hand and presented the queen with a vase containing beads, treasures, gold and silver ruyi, and rice grain.

Next, the female official helped the queen to step over a brazier to convey the meaning of prosperity.

After that, under the guidance of the female official, from the Jiaotai Hall to the Kunning Palace. There are two happy saddles placed at the entrance of Kunning Palace, and under the saddle are two apples brought by the queen from her mother's house, which means peace and security.

The queen stepped into the saddle and went into the cave room, and handed the vase she had just taken to the female officer. The female official placed the treasure bottle on the bed of the dragon and phoenix.

At this time, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin walked into the cave room with a happy face, and gently removed the red hijab from his sweetheart Empress Changsun with trembling hands.

In an instant, the eldest grandson queen who was as beautiful as a fairy, beautiful and vulgar, and terrifying, shocked Li Shimin like an electric shock, trembling all over, soft and intoxicated.

I saw Xia Xue wearing a red wedding dress, with black silk hanging shoulders, light and soft and smooth, her cheeks were like flowers, her eyes were like water, and her eyes seemed to have a mist rising, which was wonderful and indescribable. The eyebrows are like slender green willows locking a pool of spring water, and the eyes are like a bright moon lying in the spring water, and the eyes containing all kinds of emotions are so charming, shining under the scattering of candlelight, shining with the light of shy happiness.

The skin is like clotted fat, white is better than snow, white is red, gentle as jade, crystal clear. It is more pure and flawless than the whitest mutton fat jade; softer and sparkling than the mildest nephrite; More delicate and vivid than the most delicate rose petals; More beautiful than the clearest crystal.

Pure and delicate, out of the dust like a fairy, indescribable beauty and elegance, pouring all beings, stunning and captivating, incomparable beauty, so that the heaven and the earth are discolored, just like the beautiful fairy in the heavenly realm, let people look at it, there will be a feeling of intoxication.

At this moment, it was as if the entire cave room had become brighter.

Such a beautiful queen bride, and it was such a close look, Li Shimin was directly stunned, stupid, and fell into a state of drunkenness, forgetting what to do next.

The female official on the side hurriedly stepped forward and invited Li Shimin and Xia Xue to sit on the bed of Long Fengxi. Only then did Li Shimin come to his senses, hurriedly stopped trembling, and retracted his soul that flew away.

The female official held the children and grandchildren and invited Xia Xue to eat them. Then the female official dressed Xia Xue again, wore Fengtian, Double Happiness Ruyi, Rich Velvet Flower, changed into the dragon gown of the Ming Yellow Dragon and Phoenix Eight Regiments, and wore the pearl and collar.

After dressing up, the female officer served the banquet. At this time, outside the cave room, the couples in the emperor's guards sang the "Song of Congratulations". In the sound of blessings, Emperor Li Shimin and Empress Sun Xue happily drank a glass of wine and completed the ceremony.

After that, the female official helped Xia Xue sit on the dragon and phoenix bed, took off the phoenix for the queen, and changed into a dragon and phoenix robe.

Xia Xue secretly looked around, only to see that the walls of the cave room were decorated with red paint and silver tung oil. In front of the door of the cave room, there is a big palace lamp with the word double happiness, and the gilt red door has the word double happiness with sticky gold and powder. The gold and jade treasures in the cave room are magnificent. The two sides of the kang are red sandalwood carved dragons and phoenixes, there are porcelain bottles, treasures and other furnishings on the kang table, and a pair of double happiness table lamps are displayed on the left side of the kang front. The wide dragon and phoenix bed is covered with a thick red satin dragon and phoenix double happiness word big kang mattress, the bedding has bright yellow satin and vermilion satin quilt, happy pillow, its pattern is beautiful, the embroidery is fine, and the wealth is incomparable. There is a festive couplet hanging on the wall of the bed, in the center is a picture of a peony flower, and against the wall is a pair of treasure Ruyi cabinets. There is a thick red carpet on the ground, and there are curtains around the dragon and phoenix big wedding bed, which is very private. The whole cave room is full of red light, full of joyful atmosphere. Xia Xue couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "The ancient emperor was extravagant, and a cave room was too luxurious!" However, she also knew that this was the attention and cherishment of Li Shimin, who had always been diligent and thrifty, and she couldn't help but feel a ripple of sweet happiness in her heart.

At night, the flowers and candles in the cave room are melting, warm and quiet. The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and the Hibiscus is warm for the Spring Festival. Emperor Li Shimin and Empress Sun Xue finished eating longevity noodles, both stepped into the red curtain, and spent a good night happily together.

"Cher, Cher." Li Shimin's heart was beating wildly, his lips were dry, his whole body was hot, and there was a rumbling sound like a drum in his head, he didn't know how to describe the feeling now, and the flame of love in his heart burned violently.

……

"Cher, you're so beautiful! So beautiful! My soul flew away with the beauty, really, I was like a dream! I'm so happy, so happy! ”。 Li Shimin tightly hugged Xia Xue's fragrant, slender and delicate and elastic charming body, as if he was afraid that she would disappear as soon as he let go.

"Hee-hee, the soul will still talk to me when it flies away, fool!" Xia Xue gently poked Li Shimin's forehead with her slender and beautiful fingers, smiled, and said softly with a red face: "Erlang, lightly, you hugged me so much that I was almost out of breath......"

"Ah, I'm afraid you'll fly as soon as you let go, my fairy. Baby, hey, hey! Li Shimin's whole body was like he was on fire, and his blood was full of blood, "Xue'er, really, I'm so happy now, so happy, really!" With you, I think I'm the happiest and luckiest man in the world! With you, I will have nothing more in this life! Cher, I will cherish you forever and forever, and love you forever and ever! Li Shimin was so excited that he kept trembling all the time.

"Erlang, when I meet you, I think I am also the luckiest and happiest girl in the world, and I will love you forever!" Xia Xue leaned on Li Shimin's broad and strong chest, her face was red, her breath was a little panting, she took a deep breath, and said softly, "I asked you, an emperor of the Tang Dynasty, to give up the three palaces and six courtyards and abide by the monogamous customs of our hometown, do you feel wronged?" ”

"No, I don't feel aggrieved at all, Xue'er is a fairy descending to earth, where is the mortal woman can match. I'm so lucky to be able to win Cher's heart, how dare I have any other extravagant hopes. As long as I have Cher, this life is enough! Li Shimin hugged the fragrant and delicate Xia Xue tightly, for fear that she would suddenly disappear, and then said slowly and firmly: "I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white head will not be separated!" ”

From then on, he had such a person who could allow him to share his moments with her; From then on he had such a person who could make him miss the morning and twilight; From then on, he had such a person, and waited for him to go back for a long time.

Li Shimin's smile was full of sweetness and happiness.

At this moment, Xia Xue felt extremely down-to-earth in her heart, as if the ship that had been wandering alone docked into a safe harbor, this was the first time she felt extremely down-to-earth and relaxed since she came to this ancient troubled era.

In this ancient troubled era with no relatives and no reason, Xia Xue feels that she has a warm home, a man who loves her deeply, and she feels a lot more down-to-earth and safe in her heart, and it feels good to have a home!
