Chapter 265: Chang'an Sacrifices Prisoners

When I came out of the palace, it was already dusk. He was in a very bad mood, Li Shimin wanted to change his wife, saying that the Zheng family was unlucky, Sanxu was unmarried, and he had harmed many lives, and he was definitely an ominous person, for the sake of Cai Cong, it was better to change a partial wife.

Cai Cong refused on the spot, this era is not as dead as the restrictions on women in the Song Ming and Qing dynasties, but if a woman can't marry three times, then her life is over, not to mention that this weak woman is like duckweed in front of many forces, and a slight wave will flutter in the wind, what can she do wrong?

What made Cai Cong unhappy was that Chen Yi died so suddenly, but fortunately, Li Shimin transferred himself away at a critical moment, otherwise he didn't know what he would do.

Chen Yi, a stupid boy, was put on the spot as a gunman, Yan Dong couldn't say, maybe it was just a coincidence, but that stocky was definitely involved. Cai Cong was covered in cold sweat, he couldn't think of who he had offended, and he actually came up with such a desperate plan.

On the surface, this is a matter of a powerful shopkeeper forcing a small official to death, neither of them is a big person, but the drunkard does not mean to drink, if Cai Cong intervenes in it, then he is the target of everyone. He is not a powerful minister, Li Shimin is not a faint monarch, at that time, the whole dynasty is an opponent, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and even old scholars like Li Gang will not look at him too much.

Cai Cong rested at home for two days, and then was picked up from the bed by Sister Cai in a dim morning. Today, Lao Li is about to usher in the peak moment of his life, the army is surrendered, all countries are coming, and the Tang Dynasty has officially entered a brilliant and brilliant era.

Cai Cong was changed into a bright red dress, and was forced to apply rouge, he glanced in the mirror, and almost didn't feel frightened by the white reflective face in the mirror.

Officials above the fourth rank had to enter the palace to worship, and then follow Li Shimin to the imperial wall to serve as Li Shimin's background wall. The rest of the officials were waiting in the stands of Zhuque Street, and the music of breaking the array danced early, and the people of Chang'an frantically flocked to Zhuque Street, and people from nearby Luoyang and other places also rushed to Luoyang as early as a day ago, all to take a look at this grand occasion.

The rich family bought a good position with Wuhou early on, and they were all not too crowded to sit together, and the rich people struggled to squeeze to the side of the street, putting their son on their shoulders, and it was good that they couldn't see their son.

At the moment of the hour, Li Shimin wore a gown and took hundreds of civil and military officials to the imperial wall, just standing there, the people knelt on the mountain like a tide and shouted long live, the voice from the heart was earth-shattering, and Li Shimin's reserved smile was very difficult to maintain not laughing.

The ceremonial official sang the salute, and Li Shimin read out the sacrificial message to the heavens, to the effect that under the wise leadership of God, his son did not disgrace him, and he was bright and safe in the internal country and brilliant in foreign wars, so he specially told God today that he hoped that he would continue to keep the Tang Dynasty.

As the sacrificial culture turned into ashes, the earth began to tremble, and Li Jing took the lead, and behind him was an army of three thousand neatly arranged, with long knives on their waists and spears in hand, striding through the streets.

They took a step and the waist of the people of the Tang Dynasty was straight, while the Hu barbarians collapsed their waists in fear, and the strength of this country made everyone fearful.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

When they walked to the palace gate, all the soldiers knelt down on one knee and shouted long live to Li Shiminshan. Li Shimin took a deep breath and said loudly: "All the soldiers are flat, and you have worked hard for the country. I have thanked you on behalf of all the people of the world. ”

"Never give up, never give up." The soldiers spoke loudly, and their voices were as neat as if they were one person. After the mountain call, there is a martial arts, 3,000 people pull out the posture and dance knives and guns, it is not ordinarily good-looking, seeing the highlights, the people can't help but applaud.

Cai Cong couldn't get in the front row, he was short, he wanted to see but couldn't see it, and he wanted to quietly move forward, but the ruler of the ceremonial official threw it over, so scared that Cai Cong didn't dare to move again.

After the end of the exercise, it was a sacrifice of prisoners, and it was naturally impossible for more than 100,000 people to be pulled to Suzaku Street, Li Jing brought the chiefs of each tribe, and the one standing at the front was Jieli, and the back was his family, and then they were ranked according to the size of the tribe.

After standing up, under the leadership of Jieli, he danced, sang exaggerated ballads praising Li Shimin, and sang the song of sycophancy, and the old master like Li Gang had goosebumps when he listened, but Li Shimin listened to it with relish, and beat it with the rhythm.

After the dance, the rest of the captives were taken away, and only Jieli knelt on the empty Suzaku Street and kowtowed to Li Shimin, who was high above.

"Get up! You have five crimes, at that time, your father's country was broken, and Sui was able to survive, and when Sui was in trouble, you did not move, and Sui died. This is one of them; and Tang neighbors disturb the side, this is also the second; After years of war, the people of the tribe could not rest in peace. The third is also; plundered my Chinese and trampled on my countryside. This is the fourth; Allow you to make peace with your relatives and flee to other places. This sin is also five.

I must not kill you, but I still remember the covenant and dare not abandon it. You live as a servant, your family is the same, and the official family raises you, so let's step back first! ”

Li Shimin set the future for this lost dog refreshed, Jieli was moved to cry bitterly, crying on the ground, complaining about his fault, unable to pull it, the officials struggled to lift it, and clamped it into the aisle.

The hatred in Cai Cong's heart, such a scene of historical significance, he couldn't see it, and he couldn't help but glance at the ceremonial officer. But seeing the historian holding a pen and writing in the booklet, to the effect that at such a solemn moment, the Marquis of Chang'an thought about breaking the rules, and was corrected by the ceremonial officer, and then threatened the ceremonial official.

It's a shame that Cai Cong can't see his booklet, otherwise it would be possible to strangle him.

At this time, it is the time for the monarch of the country to worship Li Shimin, one by one strange exotic customs, some are full of beard, and they also have braids, some are a bunch of braids on the top of their heads, and there are two holes in their ears, and then they are all wearing wide Hanfu, Mu monkey and crown, awkwardly walked to the front of the imperial wall, three bows and rose, and shouted Long live the Khan.

Li Shimin shook his hand and said reservedly: "I am already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I be your khan?" It's not good, don't call it that in the future. ”

However, all fools can see that Li Shimin is doing it, and they all call for the will of the Khan. Li Shimin smiled, turned his head and instructed Yan Dong on the side of the attendant: "Go back and engrave the seal of a heavenly khan, and let them sacrifice it to me, understand?" ”

"The old slave saved." Yan Dong hurriedly responded in a low voice, his master is good at everything, but he loves face too much.
