When Li Shimin took the envelope, the green tendons in his hands were beating, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and finally calmly pulled out the cloth and looked at it.

After reading it, the envelope was pressed on the imperial case, he wanted himself to remember this shame from time to time, and he fought all his life as the most noble person in the Tang Dynasty, and today he was humiliated by the enemy as the emperor, but two days later, he had to personally present the treasury and pray for the other party to raise his noble hand, who can let go of this shame?

On the second day, news came that His Majesty the Great Emperor, for the sake of the stability of the people of Chang'an, would negotiate peace with the Turks on August 30, that is, tomorrow, by the Weishui River. As soon as the news is heard, there are those who cry bitterly, and there are those who rejoice......

Wei Chigong, who was stationed outside, heard the news, and a huge iron-blooded man cried like a child in the confinement period. Countless soldiers pierced their faces and prayed for battle. The ministers were even more gloomy, and they didn't speak when they met, at most they nodded.

The pride of the entire Tang Dynasty was destroyed on this day, and their emperor was going to grovel in exchange for the peace of the people, and the king humiliated the ministers to death!

For a while, it seemed that everyone had lost the ability to speak, and the entire Chang'an was silent like a ghost, and even the Turks on the other side of Weishui were frightened and hurriedly sent spies to investigate.

When he learned that Chang'an went up to the civil and military officials, down to the dawn, the people used silence to protest against the emperor's peace, Jieli was frightened, and every city was ready to die in battle, how long would it take for him to take this city?

The sun is still setting, Chang'an has become quieter, that is the silence before the outbreak, even if it is a family sleeping on the street, the head of the family is also sitting silently on the side of the street, looking at his aunt and children, and then looking at the soldiers on patrol, he doesn't know what's wrong, obviously he won't die in the war if he talks about peace, but why does he always feel that he has lost something in his heart?

While everyone could not sleep, a detachment of five hundred cavalry went out of the city and disappeared into the night, and no one knew where they went.

Time passed, Li Shimin, who had been sitting quietly all night, stood up, no one knew what he thought after sitting all night, Xuanwumen changed the fate of Li Laoer's family that day, but from a historical point of view, today is the day to change the fate of Datang.

The mourning soldiers will win, and they will be brave after knowing shame. Some of the men in Guanzhong are bloody, and if they have revenge, they will take revenge, this kind of shame and humiliation will be washed with blood sooner or later.

The palace door was wide open, and Li Shimin, who was dressed in military uniform, took the lead, followed by Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and others, and ran towards Weishui. As for the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui and others stayed in Chang'an, in case something happens, someone needs to guard them, and more importantly, Li Shimin is afraid that he will die, and the imperial power is his surname.

Negotiation of peace also needs momentum, tens of thousands of troops cross and move, and the drums are constantly beating. Jieli watched from the Weishui River, only to see the banner rolling, the momentum of the Tang army was like a rainbow, and he had the determination to fight a hundred battles without spinning. Only then did he let go of his plans to raid.

"Your Majesty, last night Cai Cong's kid went out of the city overnight, although he is a child, but he is ruthless, with five hundred cavalry in his hand, I am afraid that he will make a mistake at that time."

Li Ji rode beside Li Shimin and whispered. He knows best how ruthless Cai Cong is, but in order to cut off future troubles, he poked out the big tax case, and the timing was right, no matter how powerful people were, they couldn't suppress it, and in the end hundreds of people died and thousands were exiled.

"It was the national teacher who went out of the city last night, not Cai Cong. I remember that the national teacher has 30,000 soldiers, and even if I talk to the national teacher, I have discussed it, remember? ”

"I remember." Li Ji's eyes narrowed and said with a smile. It seems that the emperor and Cai Cong have plans that cannot be known, and they will not be said until this time.

"What the national teacher said and did today, even I can't interfere, I can only persuade, understand? Inform the whole army of this news, and everyone must be respectful to the national teacher today. Li Shimin said gloomily, it is really helpless to make such a decision, if he is given another year, he will not have the strength to fight!

"Obey." After Li Ji finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and went to make arrangements. He heard the word 'today' clearly in Li Shimin's mouth. One day national teacher, it seems that Cai Jiazi persuaded the emperor to make a big move.

"What's the matter with Your Majesty? What can a cavalry of five hundred do? In case something goes wrong during the peace negotiation, can that kid of the Cai family take responsibility? Wei Chigong said in a suppressed voice, it was about the emperor, so they were not afraid.

"Don't say more, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and it is natural to take such a big risk for something big, but if something goes wrong in a while, you remember to protect Your Majesty and evacuate the battlefield first." Fang Xuanling said with a serious face, Datang is missing now, and no one can miss Li Shimin.

"You guys are too underestimating me, when I led the Xuanjia Cavalry to break Wang Shichong in the Eastern Capital, the thrill was far more than today, have I ever flinched?" Li Shimin laughed, his straight back was like an optimus prime, and the people around him were shocked.

"Datang Wansheng!"

I don't know who shouted, and the other sergeants also shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky, sweeping away the decadent atmosphere. With such an emperor, none of us is afraid! The Turks didn't think so, Jieli sent a team of cavalry to ask, did they want to fight before the provocation?

The attitude was arrogant, the tone was arrogant, the arrival of these Turkic cavalry was like a basin of cold water poured on the head, Fang Xuanling's hand holding the sword tightened and loosened, and finally hid his clenched fist in his sleeve, and explained with a smile that the emperor's heart for peace has never changed, and he asked the envoy to convey it to the Great Khan.

Looking at the Turkic envoy who laughed wildly, the hearts of everyone present were dripping blood, if they were a little stronger, and give a little more time to recuperate, why would they grovel to the aliens?

At noon, Li Shimin led everyone to meet Jieli by the Weishui River across the bridge, and the armies of both sides were not far away. It is said that it is a meeting, but in fact, it is a dialogue across the river, and the dialogue between Jieli and Li Shimin is only known to a few people around him.

It is said in the history books that Li Shimin loudly reprimanded Jieli for betraying the alliance and attacking the Tang Dynasty, but Jieli could not refute it. Actually? The situation is pressing, Li Shimin put his posture very low, and completely put himself in the position of a subject country.

In fact, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, most of the forces paid tribute to the Turks. Li Shimin's Laozi Li Yuan also did this.

"Jieli Khan Mingjian, my Tang Dynasty has never cut off tribute to the Turks, even if the little emperor ascends the throne, the first major thing is to prepare a tribute to Jieli Khan. Even so, your army still attacked my Datang, are you going to break the friendly covenant between the two countries? ”

Li Shimin's words were sincere and sincere, without the slightest reluctance. What did the future generations say? There is no such thing as a cheeky relationship between countries.

Jieli on the other side of the river laughed heartily, originally he was afraid that Li Shimin would say ugly things when he was young and vigorous, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to be so knowledgeable.

"So that's the case, who are you from the Tang Kingdom? Said to the eldest grandson Wuji that you don't want to pay tribute anymore and want to break the covenant, so Ben Khan brought troops to ask you, do you still pay tribute? Jieli is full of guns, the eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's arm, if you can separate them, it would be the best.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face was pale, and he wanted to wave his troops across the river to fight with Jieli, but he couldn't, he could only take a deep breath and said with a smile: "It's probably a lie!" We Datang attach great importance to the oath and will not break the contract. ”

"So? So what kind of tribute have you prepared? Jieli saw Li Shimin's face clearly on the other side of the river, he didn't know, and asked calmly.

"20 carts of jewelry, 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, and 10,000 horses of cloth." Li Shimin said calmly, these were written in the peace book the day before yesterday, and now he wants him to say it just to humiliate him.

"Hahaha...... Good! Ben Khan was satisfied. However, Ben Khan also asked for 20,000 stone of food, and the gifts were exchanged, and Ben Khan gave you 3,000 horses and 10,000 sheep. Come! Bring a few slaves. Ben Khan wanted to form a bloody alliance with the Tang Emperor. ”

After Jieli's words were finished, several warriors dragged four or five Han people in tattered clothes forward. Jieli took out his scimitar and said loudly to Li Shimin: "The alliance needs to be told to the heavens, and today we will sacrifice to the heavens with human blood." ”

"Don't!"

"Spare your life! I don't want to die! Let me go! ”

"Help me! Save us......"

The Han people kneeling on the ground were crying tears, and some of them were already flowing with feces and urine. The people on the other side of the river turned their heads in shame and closed their eyes, watching their people being killed but powerless to stop it. But under the overall situation, the sacrifice of a few people is bearable. It's just that it should be the warriors who should be sacrificed, not the unarmed people.

"Hahaha...... As a sign of sincerity, Ben Khan made the first move. As soon as the words fell, Jieli raised his knife and fell, several pillars of blood spurted out, and the human head with a frightened expression rolled on the ground several times, and one of them was trampled by Jieli.

"Emperor Tang has arrived at you. Five of them! Kill five and you're good to go. Jieli said arrogantly, and kicked the head out of his feet. Li Shimin didn't say a word, who did he let him kill? He didn't have any Turks in his hands, and even if there were, Jieli wouldn't let him kill them.
