Chapter 315: The Lone King Needs Your Gifts?
The sun has shifted to the west, and the shadows of the wooden fence are long and short on the green, yellow and red mottled grass, forming a portrait of intent.
The screams in the distance continued, and Li Chengqian no longer looked at the place where the slaughter was taking place, but even if he only looked at the earth and the sky, it drove away all his appetite.
Liu Kui made him a cup of ginseng tea, and Li Chengqian took the cup made of bamboo, slowly shook the tea inside, and looked at the water in the cup with his head down, as if he was appreciating something extremely interesting.
Liu Kui led a group of attendants to hold on to fans, dust, incense burners, teapots and other things...... The wings of the geese are lined up on both sides of the column.
Behind it is the Huangluo umbrella cover, eighteen feather fans of various colors, six-color dragon flags, twenty-four swords, thin battles, banners and other honor guards.
There are hundreds of relatives and three guards in the back, each wearing a battle robe with a vermilion ribbon hanging on his chest, wearing a longbow and a hard crossbow around his waist, and holding a horizontal sword, majestic and majestic......
A crown prince's guard of honor was all discharged, and the formation was not only colorful, but also solemn and solemn, which made people daunting.
In this way, it is even more important to show that Li Chengqian's identity is extraordinary.
Standing two zhang away from the throne, dozens of leaders of the party and Qiang departments were waiting to worship Li Chengqian, and they had been standing here for a while, looking at the formation of Xuanhe at close range, and then listening to the sound of slaughter coming from afar, they all trembled in their hearts and did not dare to make a slight move.
After listening to Li Chengqian above, he asked a little impatiently, "Why haven't they come to see King Gu yet?"
Tuoba Chizi and Xifeng Bulai, who were standing in front, hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed down when they heard the sound: "The ministers will see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The voice rang out to Li Chengqian's ears.
Hearing this, Li Chengqian slowly raised his head and looked at the party leaders, and did not immediately call him flat.
The leaders of the party Xiangqiang below did not hear Li Chengqian say that they were flat, so they kept bowing and did not dare to move.
"Flat!"
After a while, Li Chengqian gently spit out two words, and the leaders of the party Xiang Qiang still did not move, Liu Kui took a step forward when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told you to be even?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" The leaders of the party did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, and respectfully thanked them before standing up.
Li Chengqian was quite satisfied when he saw it, and raised his hand to wave at them and motioned for him to step forward.
Tuoba Chizi and Xifeng Bulai looked at each other when they saw this, and both of them saw helplessness in their eyes, although they had a thousand thoughts in their hearts, their strength was not good, but it was in vain.
Dozens of party leaders honestly took a few steps forward, got closer to Li Chengqian, and then looked up at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian was also looking at them at this time.
Dangxiang Qiang and Khitan were very weak tribes in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, and they were only preserved by the Tang Dynasty, but after the death of the Tang Dynasty, they became a nightmare for China.
It's true: the sub-lineage of the mountain wolf is rampant.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty also had the mistake of not formally co-opting them for one or two hundred years when it was strong, so Li Chengqian very much wanted to take advantage of the current Tang Dynasty to completely incorporate the party Xiangqiang.
The two sides looked at each other for a second, and Tuoba Chizi and Xifeng Bulai hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Chengqian.
But Li Chengqian would not be confused by their superficial respect, and asked lightly: "Do you have all the dissatisfaction with Datang?"
"Whew-"
Li Chengqian's voice fell into an extremely loud scream, which came from the wooden fence.
Li Chengqian looked up and saw that all the wooden fences had been shot once, and Liu Renliang was directing the Tang army to enter the wooden fence to clean up the corpses, and some people inside were pretending to be dead and were mended by the Tang army again.
Li Chengqian lowered his head at a glance, and then looked at the leaders of the party and Qiang who were all frightened, their faces turned pale and their foreheads were sweating, and Li Chengqian nodded secretly in his heart.
"Are you dissatisfied with Datang?"
Li Chengqian asked again in a strengthened tone.
"Plop!"
Tuoba Chizi knelt on his knees, and Xi Feng Bulai and the others also hurriedly knelt down on their knees.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian slowly stood up and took a few steps forward, his faint eyes swept over the dozens of party leaders kneeling on the ground one by one, and finally fixed his eyes on the faces of Tuoba Chizi and Xifeng Bulai.
Li Chengqian looked at the two most powerful tribal leaders among the current Qiang people and said lightly: "Your Xiqiang clan was a vassal of China in the Western Han Dynasty six hundred years ago, and later the Qiang Han overthrew Zhu Chaohua, and your life was also very difficult, and you were almost exterminated.
Later, the Zhou Dynasty sent troops to destroy the two divisions of Danchang and Deng Zhi, and you only got a little bit of life.
I, the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and you also led the people to return, and Your Majesty immediately gave you a generous place to be crowned an official and a knight.
Longyou Zhudao faced Tubo, you are incapable of defending the palace, Your Majesty sent down Longen and allowed you to move to Qing, Yin, Lan and other northern states to recuperate, is it unethical for the Tang Dynasty to treat you?"
Since it is a pandao, of course, it starts from your ancestors, and you don't have words anyway.
"Datang and Tian Khan treat me with the kindness of the heavens and the earth, and we will never forget it." Tuoba Chizi said hurriedly.
Li Chengqian asked in a deep voice when he heard this: "In this case, why don't you wear official clothes to see King Lone when you are crowned by the Tang Dynasty as the governor of Zhuzhou and the county order, and given you a brocade robe and jade belt?"
But look down on Datang?"
As soon as Li Chengqian's two questions were raised, the party leaders below were all frightened, their various ethnic groups did not belong to each other, and their strength was far weaker than that of the Mobei tribes.
Now seeing the tragic death of the leaders of the Mobei tribes, my heart trembled because I had long been frightened, how dare I look down on Datang?
Tuoba Chizi and Xifeng Bulai completely let go of their dignity, lying on the ground and kowtowing while shouting: "The ministers are guilty, the ministers don't dare!" ”
Everyone else kowtowed.
Li Chengqian just looked at it lightly, feeling that this scene was quite spectacular, and after a long while, he said quietly: "Stop!" ”
Hearing this, the leader of the party Xiang Qiang raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian in fear.
Li Chengqian still looked at everyone lightly, but his voice became more and more cold: "You said that you don't dare to look down on the Tang Dynasty, where were you when the Lone King led the Tang Dynasty soldiers to fight the invaders of the Mobei tribes in a bloody battle of life and death?"
"Ugh!" Because the party departments are still very weak, and the Tang Dynasty has not recruited troops from their tribes, and they are not subordinate to each other, they can't mobilize a large number of clan soldiers to help the Tang Dynasty, of course, the most fundamental reason is that they don't regard themselves as Datang people.
This was done in the past, but the Tang Dynasty court thought that the party Xiang Qiang did not rebel because it was meritorious.
This time, the Tang Dynasty destroyed Xue Yantuo, and Li Shimin summoned the leaders of the tribes in Lingzhou, and he also had the intention of deterrence and appeasement, and he did not have the intention of asking for guilt.
But now that Li Chengqian is asking for the crime in person, there is a slaughterhouse behind him, and from time to time the leaders of the Mobei tribes are killed by mending knives, what can they say?
You can only kowtow again and confess your guilt.
Li Chengqian looked a little impatient and asked, "Why do you only kowtow?" Don't you want to make amends?"
"Huh?"
Asking for a gift in such a blatant manner?
Tuoba Chici was very disdainful of Li Chengqian in his heart, thinking that I would not prepare a generous gift when I came to see him?
However, he was worried that Li Chengqian's lion opened his mouth, but he just listened to the screams that were flickering from afar, and he still gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince Qizuo, the ministers and others know the hard work of the Tang Expedition, and they have prepared a generous gift and will only wait for the court to present it in person when they meet the Heavenly Khan."
In addition, he also prepared a generous gift for His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will send someone to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he goes back today. ”
Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this: "This is too much to look down on the Lone King, right?" Do you want a gift from the Lone King?"
Tuoba Term: ......
