Section 386 Sacrifice of prisoners

As soon as Feng Xiaobao came out of confinement, two major events that he had a part in came to the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The first is that the Tibetan prisoners were delivered to Chang'an, and the imperial court specially held a ceremony to dedicate the prisoners to Chengtianmen, and Feng Xiaobao, as the main general of the attack on Tibet, must participate.

In fact, the Tibetan captives had already arrived in Chang'an earlier, but Feng Xiaobao was locked up and confined now.

……

The Emperor and his army returned to Chang'an on December 10, where he will perform a ceremony to present the prisoners.

So Feng Xiaobao got out of confinement and had to rush to Chang'an, but fortunately, he was a soldier and hurried to Chang'an

……

Because of the emperor's return to Luan, Chang'an City is quite lively, the streets and alleys are full of people, all kinds of accents, people of all nationalities are happy, especially the Hu merchants in the Western Regions and the Hu merchants in the West.

The Tang army suffered a heavy defeat in Tibet, and the Silk Road safety index increased greatly, and business became easier.

In the past, when the Tibetans invaded, they were barbaric, wantonly killing merchants and robbing goods, and the Hu merchants often had to give a considerable amount of money to buy the road to pass, and even the money to buy the road did not necessarily guarantee safety.

Now, the Tubo people have retreated, the four towns of Anxi have returned to the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence, the Tang Dynasty protects the trade routes, and the Hu merchants can do business with confidence.

Seven or eight new commercial houses were opened in Chang'an City, all of which were invested by Hu merchants and nobles to specialize in the trading of the Silk Road, and the investment of funds made Chang'an City more prosperous.

Today is December 23rd, a grand ceremony was held in the palace, from the early morning, from the Vermilion Bird Gate to the Chengtian Gate on both sides of the royal road, the Tang army armor soldiers stand tall, dense into a forest, the bright light armor is dazzling, there is a big city full of golden armor posture.

In the square of Chengtianmen, the ministers and generals wore court clothes and armor, arranged in class, they were either wearing gold and purple, or armor was brilliant, showing the outstanding demeanor of the Tang elite.

In addition to the courtiers, there is a large number of Hu people, they have different moods, among them are the Hu people of the Western Regions, they are the happiest group, and there are also more happy, such as the Tuyuhun people, they are mortal enemies with the Tubo people, the Tubo people expelled them from the countryside (Qinghai), seeing the Tubo people unlucky, naturally happy, there are many Hu people who are attached to the Tang Dynasty and completely return to their hearts, they are Tang fans, and they are happy about the victory of the Tang Dynasty.

A small number of Hu people, such as the Turks, Khitans, Silla, Xi, etc., can see that they are a little forced and laughing, and symbolically give a few clappings.

The stronger the Datang, the heavier the pressure on the various ethnic groups, making them feel heavy.

There is no one who does not yearn for the free grassland and the life of plundering at will, but the strength of the Tang Army makes them dare not act rashly.

In front of the Chengtian Gate, the emperor's guard of honor was opened, and the Dharma Driving Halo Book, the Dan Majesty Halo Book, the Danqi Halo Book, the Battle Horse, the Foot Jade Wheel Treasure Elephant, etc. were neatly arranged, and then a huge band of 300 people was ready.

As the sun approaches, "Dangdang! "First of all, the golden bell in the imperial city rang for a long time, and then the bell towers everywhere also rang, and the whole Chang'an City was full of melodious bells.

Because of the advance notice and the announcement on the street, the subjects outside the imperial city knew that today was the great day of the imperial dynasty, and although they could not go to watch the ceremony, it did not prevent them from cheering and rejoicing.

The restaurants and taverns in Chang'an City were suddenly full, and business was as good as when Feng Xiaobao's news flew in. (At that time, the emperor was in Luoyang, but Chang'an was also doing good business)

In the imperial city, all the people knelt down in the direction of Chengtianmen, and then saw a large group of palace people holding a Huangluo umbrella to appear on the tall Chengtianmen Tower, and the emperor and the queen of heaven arrived!

They entered the throne, worshiped by hundreds of officials, and asked the queen of heaven to be safe after the mountain shouted long live!

The queen of heaven is strong and enjoys a reverence that the queen did not have before.

The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven immediately heard the difference, and the hundred officials shouted that they were extraordinarily full of spirit and spirit!

This is an unprecedented victory, the most vicious captive!

All the people have honor, although it is said that the soldiers have worked the front line, but without the dispatch and support of civilian officials, how can the generals succeed!

For this, Feng Xiaobao, the general who attacked Tibet, also thanked him again and again.

The emperor and the queen of heaven recalled the first battle of Dafeichuan, when the Tang army lost 100,000 soldiers, and during that time, the entire palace was lifeless, and the hundred officials were listless.

Today is different, Dafei Sichuan beheaded 350,000 people in Tubo, which is almost comparable to the 400,000 people in the Qin army pit Zhao during the Warring States Period, but the Tang Dynasty division is famous!

Then there is the seal of Dafeichuan, which is the name of the Tang Army, the reputation of the Tang Army is greatly enhanced, Tubo looks at the wind and escapes, and Baibo is shocked.

The imperial court already knew that the Tubo army located in the Western Regions had all returned to the south, and they had turned around, and the Tang Dynasty did not spend a single soldier, and all the countries in the Western Regions returned to their hearts and congratulated them together.

As for the other Hupangs, even with all kinds of thoughts, they also enthusiastically sent envoys to congratulate them.

This year, the number of countries that came to Beijing to celebrate the Tang Spring Festival was more than double that of the previous ones!

All this made Emperor Li Zhi extremely satisfied, especially to himself.

Because the main general Feng Xiaobao was allocated by him (the queen of heaven also has the credit of promotion, but the husband and wife are one, and hers is also his), the three imperial treasures that gave Feng Xiaobao to seize military power at the beginning of the year were not signed by him, it was impossible, even the queen of heaven could not do it!

It is extremely unusual for the Three Imperial Treasures to be awarded to this thing, this is to entrust the safety of the 300,000 troops of the imperial court to a hairy boy, and the emperor and queen of heaven dare to do this kind of thing!

This is the vision of the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven!

They really gave and they succeeded!

It's really a little scary to think about it, then Li Jingxuan actually fled without a fight, if he really escaped, how could the emperor and queen of heaven sit in the gatehouse so majestically today to watch the sacrifice of prisoners!

When later generations talk about Emperor Li Zhi, they all say that he lived in the shadow of Emperor Taizong in the first half of his life, and lived under Wu Zetian's skirt in the second half of his life, which is actually a big mistake.

Until he died, he always retained his rights, even if the prime minister promoted by the queen of heaven said that he would put it (except for the abolition of the aftermath, Gaozong once wanted to abolish Wu Zetian, but the result was unsuccessful).

……

The bell stopped, the hundred officials were flattened, and a tall and sturdy official of the Ministry of Rites strode out of class to proclaim the message on behalf of the emperor.

Tang people Hu and Han mixed blood, under the hybrid advantage, born with a particularly high spirit, to be the face of the court is competent, this is Wang Benli, Gaozong's favorite minister, specially asked him to show his face, he has a benefit that others can't reach: loud voice, so that everyone can hear clearly.

Naturally, it is to reprimand Tubo and promote the benevolence, righteousness and morality of the Tang Dynasty, and the people who are also subdued and frustrated, except for the civil officials who can understand it, the rest of the people don't understand... Well, the Hu people think that the Tang people are really literate!

Coupled with the current martial arts, Datang is the lighthouse country of this world!

"Playing music!" After the official of the Ministry of Rites finished preaching,

It's the turn of the soldiers to perform, or the world's largest band plays passionate military music, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the imperial city sing "Loyal to the Country"!

"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers look westward, the dragon rolls up and the horse grows and hisses, and the sword aura is like frost! ……”

This is the strongest note of this era, loyalty, serving the country, and what is more powerful than them!

Under the accompaniment of the song "Jing Zhong Serving the Country", 300 members of the Taohe River Officer Corps led by Feng Xiaobao rode horses, and they were followed by 1,000 Taohe Road infantry, passing through the Chengtian Gate Tower and being inspected by the emperor and queen.

Let all of us see the victorious division of our Datang!

The troops came over, and the people rejoiced. (To be continued.) )
