Chapter 249: Offering the Prisoner Taimiao

"Fengtian transported, the emperor said: I heard that Qin built the Great Wall, Tian attacked the Xiongnu, and the Hu people did not dare to go south and herd horses; Han out of the north, Yan Ran Le Shi, the Huns fled far away for it......"

Li Jing led the way and knelt on the Taiji Hall. There are more than 20 generals kneeling behind him, like the deputy generals Zhang Gongjin and Cheng Mingzhen, all of whom are also famous generals of a generation. The crowd knelt on the main hall and listened to the attendants chanting the decree in his shrill voice.

The holy decree first said a word of four and six, which is nothing more than to praise Li Jing's work in destroying the Huns, which is comparable to Wei Huo in the Han Dynasty. Then came the big reward. Li Jing, as the commander of the marching army and the commander of the campaign to destroy the Turks, was rewarded with a lot of money, needless to say. Entering the feudal dynasty, giving 600 pieces and famous horses, treasures, etc.

These rewards were given by Li Shimin after Li Jing captured Dingxiang. However, when I was in the army at that time, I just issued an edict and said it, and now I have returned to Chang'an, which can be regarded as a real implementation. After capturing Dingxiangcheng, Li Shimin was full of joy and said to the ministers: "Li Ling is a desert with 5,000 foot soldiers, and then he surrendered to the Huns, and his merits are still written and bamboo." Jing rode three thousand, bloody court, and then took Dingxiang, the ancient unprecedented, enough to bathe the shame of my Weishui! ”

After capturing the tooth tent and capturing Jieli, Li Shimin issued a decree and gave Li Jing 500 food and entered the Zuo Guanglu doctor.

As for the other generals, they were all given titles, almost all of them were added to the first-level false title, promoted to the first or half-level official, and also got treasures, swords, jade, silk and goods and other things.

When the chamberlain read Zhang Yunwen's name, he instantly pricked up his ears. Automatically ignored the nonsense in front of him, and only listened to the inner servant: "Today, Zhang Yunwen is the founding county, Pingzhou, and 100 households." General Jin Yunlu, Jiaxun Protector, give three hundred silk silks, two hundred gold! “

Hearing this string of rewards, Zhang Yunwen was suddenly overjoyed and overjoyed.

After receiving the reward in the palace, Zhang Yunwen and the generals left the Taiji Hall and were about to go to the military camp to settle the soldiers, but they didn't walk a few steps, and when they didn't reach the Taiji Gate, they suddenly heard two coquettish voices: "Xianggong!" ”

As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Zhang Yunwen immediately stopped, turned around to look, but saw two women standing under a plum tree, their eyes flashing with tears, looking at him in unison.

Zhang Yunwen suddenly felt that something was pricked in the softest part of his heart, and he was stunned for a while. At this time, Cheng Mingzhen was walking in front of Zhang Yunwen, and the latter hurriedly grabbed him and said: "General Cheng, please have one thing for you, you go to the reconnaissance camp to inform Li Yang, and say that the rest of the matter will be handled cheaply, haha, Lao Tzu doesn't care!" ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Cheng Mingzhen agreed or not, he strode in the direction of the two women.

Cheng Mingzhen looked at Zhang Yunwen's back, was stunned for a moment, and then saw the woman under the plum tree, immediately grinned, turned around, and walked towards Taijimen.

"Why are you here?" As soon as he saw Li Yu and Zhi Rou, Zhang Yunwen couldn't wait to hold them in his arms, but when he saw the cold looks of the guards around him, he immediately dispelled this thought.

I saw a string of tears falling from Li Yu's beautiful eyes, and then wiped his tears with the palm of his white silk gloves, and whispered with a smile on his face: "Today, the concubine came to visit the queen mother, but I didn't expect to meet the father-in-law!" ”

However, as soon as Li Yu's voice fell, Zhi Rou on the side smiled and said: "What are you visiting the queen mother, sister Yu, I heard yesterday that the princess was coming back, so I came to meet the queen early this morning!" Have you ever seen the mother talking to you for a while, but the corners of her mouth kept smiling! ”

When Li Yu heard this, his pretty face suddenly turned red, but he said unwillingly: "What about me, Sister Rou, you didn't toss and turn last night, and it was difficult to sleep!" ”

Zhi Rou fell silent for a moment, slowly lowered his head, and then raised his head sharply and said, "Xianggong, I really miss you!" Saying that, he hugged Zhang Yunwen, "I'm so afraid that something will happen to you on the grassland!" The Turks are the overlords of the steppe! At the end, the enthusiastic, heroic and strong princess of the Xi clan couldn't help but move her nose and sobbed softly.

Li Yu stood silently aside, looking at the two hugging each other, and suddenly pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

"Let's go! Let's go home and go! Zhang Yunwen stroked her soft hair and muttered softly.

"Yes, go home!" Zhirou immediately let go of Zhang Yunwen, and a charming smile appeared on her delicate face, "Let's go home!" ”

returned home and lingered with the two daughters for a few days, almost every day in their boudoir, and the catering was all sent by Mei Xiang and Rui'er in turn. Whenever they brought a meal and saw the situation in the room, they couldn't help but blush, put down the food box, and left the room in a panic.

In the past few days, after venting all the energy accumulated for several months, Zhang Yunwen completely realized what it means to be "gentle township, hero mound", just when he was about to restrain himself and cultivate his self-cultivation, an internal servant came to the mansion and passed Li Shimin's will, saying that he was going to sacrifice the prisoner Taimiao tomorrow and feast the ministers, and even the emperor Li Yuan, who has never shown up, had to appear to let Zhang Yunwen prepare.

Hearing this news, Zhang Yunwen immediately remembered the Jieli Dance recorded in the history books, which marked the complete demise of the famous Eastern Turks.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Yunwen put on his clothes and scarves under Mei Xiang's service, and then looked at Princess Runan and the county lord of Zhirou, who were also neatly dressed and solemn. Today's sacrifice of the Taimiao, the courtiers feasted, the eldest grandson queen also feasted the lady in Chang'an City, and the princess of Runan and the lord of Zhirou were also invited.

As soon as a trace of white appeared in the east, the gates of those dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City had already opened, and a richly decorated carriage greeted the door, waiting for their masters to mount their horses.

In the cold wind howling, the carriages slowly galloped away in the direction of Taimiao.

Several streets outside the temple have been parked with all kinds of luxurious carriages, when Li Yuzhirou's carriage arrived outside the temple, there was no place to stop, so he had to stop at a place across the temple from the temple, and then walked to the temple.

After arriving at the Taimiao, Zhang Yunwen separated from his second daughter. They were to go to the eldest grandson queen and stay with the eldest grandson queen until the end of the feast.

Arriving outside the Taimiao, there were already many civil and military officials gathered here. Anyone who knew that it was an official, Zhang Yunwen also went up to say hello one by one. And many officials were also very polite to the newly promoted marquis, and they were extremely careful to say flattering words.

Zhang Yunwen was dealing with these officials while waiting for Li Shimin's arrival.

Finally, after waiting for nearly half an hour, Li Shimin's dragon chariot was late.

Although Li Shimin's face was serious, there was still a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth. He first met with the ministers, and then stood on the steps of the temple and waited for the auspicious time to come.

Finally, after Taishi Ling Fu Yi looked at the sky for the third time, he said loudly in an old voice: "The auspicious time has come, sue heaven and earth!" ”

Li Shimin was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his gait was solemn and he walked up the steps of the temple step by step.

A burst of "dong dong" drums and long horn sounded, resounding throughout the Taimiao and echoing throughout Chang'an.

Lighting a stick of incense, Li Shimin knelt down towards the tablet dedicated to his great-grandfather Li Hu and grandfather Li Bing, and kowtowed solemnly.

At this moment, Wei Zheng took a step forward and recited loudly: "Yi and the ancestral industry, the emperor is the first." Cut Shang Dehou, Feng Tang Qingyan. ”

After finishing the recitation, he retreated to the courtiers, Li Shimin also slowly got up, walked to the gate of the Taimiao, looked at the ministers below, and the pride in his heart was surging like a mountain.

After some more complicated etiquette, Wei Zheng took another step forward and said loudly: "Take the Turkic people!" ”

I saw thirty or forty dazzlingly clad soldiers escorting dozens of Turkic people wearing Hanfu but looking depressed into the open space under the steps of the Taimiao. The leader is Princess Jieli and Yicheng. The rest of the people are all Turkic ministers, like King Youxian, Dayehu and the like, almost all of them are nobles among the seven Turkic surnames.

They walked to the foot of the steps of the Taimiao Temple and performed a Turkic ritual to Li Shimin. Princess Yicheng didn't want to salute, but Jieli next to her gently removed the corner of her clothes, so she saluted helplessly.

Li Shimin's gaze fell condescendingly on Jieli: "Jieli, are you guilty?" ”

Jieli's face was ashen, his lips moved twice, and finally said, "Little Khan is guilty!" ”

Li Shimin immediately nodded slightly with satisfaction, and said loudly: "There are five crimes: Er's father's country is broken, relying on Sui Yi'an, and not helping him with a sword, so that his temple society will not eat blood, one also; and my neighbor forsake the letter and disturb the side, two also; The soldiers are not fighting, the tribe is grudging, and the three are also; thieves and Chinese people, violent crops, four also; Xu and his relatives moved to escape, five also. I am not nameless to kill, Gu Wei has not forgotten the alliance, so I am not responsible! Every time he said the last one, Jieli's head lowered a point, and only when Li Shimin said that he would not be held responsible, did he raise his head slightly.

Li Shimin's eyes turned to Princess Yicheng again, and asked with a light face: "You are the Princess Yicheng who instigated the Turks to invade my Central Plains?" ”

When Zhang Yunwen heard Li Shimin's question, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, he clearly remembered the fate of Princess Yicheng in history, when Li Jing raided the tooth tent and captured her, he killed her. And now, he has served the Turkic nobles in a pot, and Li Jing did not kill her for the stability of the Turkic people, but escorted her all the way. With her hatred and identity of Datang, I am afraid that there will be an incident today.

Sure enough, I only heard Princess Yicheng say proudly: "This palace is the daughter of Emperor Wen of the Great Sui, Princess Yicheng!" ”

Li Shimin sneered, and was about to say something, but he heard Princess Yicheng suddenly say loudly: "This palace is Princess Yicheng of the Great Sui!" You and other rebellious ministers and thieves, take away my Great Sui foundation, kill my imperial brother, kill my people, their hatred is surging, and it is difficult to dig the waves! ”

I don't know where the strength came from, Princess Yicheng pushed away one of the soldiers who came to stop her, facing the ministers, her eyes slowly sweeping.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many former Sui ministers, but now they were swept away by her gaze, and they couldn't help shrinking their bodies.

"Xiao Yu, Qu Tutong, Pei Ju, Chen Shuda, and you, you, you, you, you are all courtiers of the Great Sui, I died in the Great Sui, I don't know how to be loyal and martyred, but I voted for Li Tang! You traitors seeking glory, one day, you will not die well! The two soldiers who rushed over clamped her body, but Princess Yicheng was hysterical and roared loudly, her voice was like crying and complaining, and she cursed the courtiers and Li Tang loudly.

Li Shimin raised his hand with a pale face, and the two soldiers immediately dragged Princess Yicheng out. The rest of the soldiers came up and escorted Jieli and others to leave the Taimiao.

Through the high courtyard wall, Zhang Yunwen seemed to still be able to hear the scolding of Princess Yicheng.

After Princess Yicheng's trouble, Li Shimin was not in the mood to continue, and hurriedly ended the memorial ceremony.
