"If the imperial court runs a school and recruits smart children from all over the world to enroll, and they are in middle school and the best can be officials, then what is the situation in the world?"

Er Li's face was glowing, and he agreed with this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Reasonable! Makes sense! Li Jing groaned slightly, and he agreed.

"This academy is not only used to cultivate talents who are officials, but also to cultivate military talents and technical talents! And to cultivate talents, there must be no shortage of good teachers. Like you, the general manager, your body may be old, but how can your experience grow old? With a teacher like the general manager, why is Datang useless? When my father is old, I also suggest that after quitting, I will become a teacher in the school. First, I won't be idle, and second, I can continuously cultivate talents for my Datang, which can be described as the best of both worlds. Of course, this kind of thing is indispensable to Uncle Li Ji. ”

Li Jing was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, which shook all directions: "I can't imagine that my old bones still have a place to use, and I can actually contribute to Datang!" Okay, the old man is fine. Of course, if you can convince Your Majesty...... The old man didn't have anything else. But he still has a certain degree of confidence in the way of using soldiers. ”

He changed his previous dullness, smiled, and in just a few cups of tea, he looked much younger.

Qin Feng could faintly understand his state of mind, and immediately stopped talking.

While the three of them were talking, they marched unhurriedly, and they wore bright armor, and under the expectation of everyone, they soon appeared on the periphery of Chang'an.

Qin Feng saw the lineup that came to greet them from afar!

Headed by Li Shimin, behind him were the crown prince Li Chengqian, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Tang Jian, Qin Qiong, Hou Junji, and officials from the three provinces and six ministries all stood behind him.

Such a large-scale welcome is the first time in Datang.

Even when Li Shimin captured the two kings in one battle, walked in Henan, and was invincible, he failed to get such a grand welcome ceremony.

When they came to the distance from Li Shimin, Li Jing, Qin Feng, Li Ji and the generals behind them turned over and dismounted one after another, and walked to Li Shimin's vicinity to salute.

"The last general Li Jing ......"

"Li Ji ......"

"Qin Feng ......"

"Lead the generals and soldiers under your command to meet Your Majesty, and may your Majesty live long live, long live, long live."

In this era, there is no kneeling and there is no habit of "long live, long live, long live", it is said that long live long live is from Wu Zetian, and in the early Tang Dynasty, it was still called the three long live that was handed down in the Sui Dynasty. These three long live are also the reasons why they are used in the legend of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to call long live. In this era, "long live" is a kind of celebratory language, not a requirement to address the emperor, even if it is to meet Li Shimin and meet a life-saving benefactor to say long live to express gratitude and joy.

Under the leadership of the three major generals headed by Li Jing, Qin Feng, and Li Ji, all the soldiers and soldiers behind him shouted three times to meet him.

It is not difficult for Li Jing, Qin Feng, Li Ji and others to see Li Shimin, but how difficult it is for ordinary generals and soldiers to meet the emperor, under the influence of the feudal era, the emperor's status is supreme, and it is a great honor to be able to see the emperor.

"Everyone, my heroes of the Tang Dynasty are exempt!" Li Shimin's face was full of smiles that could not be concealed, and he responded loudly, looking at the generals and soldiers who had achieved the highest glory for the Tang Dynasty with emotion, and said loudly: "You have shed your blood for my Datang, set out for thousands of miles, and annihilated the Turks, the old enemy that threatened my Datang, in one fell swoop, and made immortal achievements for my Datang, and they are my heroes of Datang." To celebrate your deeds, I have a drink with your heroes...... To all the heroes. ”

Li Shimin said excitedly, even if it was a show, he also made this show extremely clever, which was touching and grateful.

The attendant beside him had already prepared the equipment and handed the wine cup full of wine to Li Shimin.

Immediately after that, the tens of thousands of soldiers and generals who came with them were all allocated a glass of wine one by one.

"Come, let us drink this festive wine together!" Under the guidance of Li Shimin, tens of thousands of people drank all the wine in their cups.

Qin Feng's taste is also treasured for more than 30 years, recalling the mare's milk wine drunk on the grassland, feeling that it is the same as horse urine, this wine is still the enjoyment of the Central Plains, looking at Li Shimin, who is full of politicians, thinking that if under the leadership of Li Shimin, everyone throws the wine cup on the ground and falls apart, that kind of scene is called a spectacular.

However, this is obviously impossible, most of these wine cups have been raised from various places, and they have to be returned when they are used.

The current Tang Dynasty is only the beginning of the famous "Zhenguan Rule", and the clanging of the poor up and down the dynasty will do such extravagant things.

Li Shimin focused on commending Li Jing, Qin Feng, and Li Ji, and led them into Chang'an City together.

The Zhuque Street of the wide Chang'an City was full of people who were busy watching the officials, and at the moment when Li Shimin led the triumphant division to appear, the cheers rang out like a mountain and a tsunami.

But this time it felt different......

Qin Feng's previous experience seemed to be more like a show, the people were numb and indifferent to the excitement, and the ones who really cheered were those rich families who were powerful and had a nourishing life.

Now it's different, and now the surrounding people are also dancing with flowers, with a hissing and heart-rending shout, as if to vent their joy: he has been away for two and a half years, and it seems that he has changed a lot!

Indeed, as he realized, Li Shimin began to govern the world in a bold way with the help of Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others in the more than a year after he left Chang'an: he learned the lessons of the fall of the Sui Dynasty, attached importance to the lives of the people, and selected the virtuous and able to pay attention to the rule of officials to prevent corrupt officials from corrupting officials. In terms of policy, agriculture is the foundation, business is supplemented, economy is strictly practiced, and the imperial examination system is also improved. After this turmoil, it was originally a time when the people's minds were settled, and the system adopted by Li Shimin was extremely reasonable, which strengthened the people's lives, greatly strengthened the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and promoted economic development.

As the national capital, Chang'an has borne the brunt of the benefits, and the per capita living standard has been greatly improved, and the people of the national capital have returned to their hearts.

For Datang to be able to achieve such a brilliant victory, they are honored, not just to watch the lively mentality, to regard themselves as the people of Datang, and sincerely happy.

The style of the rule of Zhenguan has been initially reflected in the capital.

Under the farewell of the people of Chang'an, the vast team led by Li Shimin entered the palace from Chengtianmen and went to Taimiao and Taishe to pay tribute to the ancestors of heaven and earth.

The ancients regarded worshipping the ancestors of heaven and earth as a sacred thing, and for some reason they also knelt down to the heavens and knelt down to their parents.

But whoever goes out to triumph, every festival must tell the ancestors of heaven and earth.

As a later generation, Qin Feng did not like complicated etiquette, but the ancients did not pay attention to etiquette for no reason, blindly seeking etiquette. Each of their etiquette has a certain meaning, and they can understand the moral importance of the ancients. On the other hand, in later generations, there was less etiquette, less etiquette, and when it came to the quality of civilization and self-cultivation, the difference between modern people and the ancients was thousands of miles.

Because the ancestors of the heaven and earth attached great importance to it, they were also very solemn.

Worship with incense, say hello to the narrative, and treat every link sincerely.

After the ancestor worship was completed, it was already past noon.

The next and most important part is the prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

This ritual has been practiced since ancient times, and the records of the fortnight contain countless rituals for the sacrifice of prisoners. With the development of successive dynasties, it evolved into a custom, and it was necessary to hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony only when the great results of the war were achieved.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were only four years of martial arts, Li Shimin conquered Henan, captured Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and held a prisoner sacrifice ceremony in the north of the Central Plains. Now, Li Jing and Qin Feng have achieved more results in defeating the Turks than Li Shimin's great victory back then. The ceremony was also extraordinarily grand and grand.

The Turkic chieftains, the left and right Xiangcha, the left and right Xian Wang, the Sixteen She, and all the Turkic nobles who were captured in this battle had to bow down in front of the Taimiao and Taishe with white practice. first plead to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then go to Chengtianmen to gaze at the heavenly tower to accept the prisoners.

Everything is determined according to the etiquette law, and Li Shimin set up a tent seat in the front of the Shuntian Tower of Chengtianmen. Hundreds of civil and military officials and prisoner generals stand on the left and right of the downstairs, and a prisoner seat is set up in front of the building a little south. After the hundred officials arrived, the courtiers lifted the Banqi card upstairs with a red silk rope bag and reported to the emperor. The emperor was seated, and hundreds of officials shouted long live and saluted. The courtiers announced the "dedication of prisoners", and the colonel brought the captives to the sacrifice position.

Li Shimin sat on a high place, looking at the Turkic Khan Jieli led below and the hundreds of Turkic nobles behind him. The mood can't help but be happy. Since the beginning of the incident, he has been restrained by the Turks, and he has to make compromises. According to his original idea, it was like the Han Dynasty 800 years ago. After a long period of accumulation and condensation, and the strength of the country, a figure similar to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appeared, and the foundation they laid was used to wash away the shame they received: he could not have imagined that he would live in his lifetime. And still so beautiful. Able to watch the invincible Turks fall in front of them. Seeing the majestic Turkic Khan kneeling in front of him and pleading guilty.

Either Caesar or nothing!

The defeated have no dignity at all, even a Turkic khanate king like Jieli, who once threatened the party, can only kneel in shame in front of the crowd at this moment and bow down at the feet of Li Shimin. With Jieli's identity, he was unwilling to be insulted by this, but it was indeed easy to kill him alone, but his people would be implicated because of this. As the king of the Turkic Khan, Jieli thought it was a sin to fail to protect his people. To the point where it has come to this. How can he have the face to die and escape everything.

I could only kneel on the ground, and I couldn't help but listen to the courtiers read out the battle report of the Tang Dynasty in public.

This reading of the war report has a name for this period. It's called "Lubu".

The "Lubu" system began in the Later Wei Dynasty and became the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, officials called those documents that were not very important and did not need to be sealed by special means as "Lubu". Later Wei used "Lubu" to publish the news of victory, whenever the battle was conquered, the news was conveyed with the situation of Lubu, and the good news was written on the lacquer pole, so that the world knew about it. This method was later widely adopted, and Lubu gradually became the "Book of Dedication" that "spread all over the world, and exposed the eyes and ears".

Since Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there has been the ritual of declaring cloth. Whenever a great victory is achieved, hundreds of officials and guest envoys from all directions will be gathered outside the Guangyang Gate to read out the Lubu. After this is read, the hundred officials will dance and bow again.

The victory of the Tang Dynasty has long been announced by the "Lubu" system, but at the moment it is still necessary to read out the battle report, in order to praise the effectiveness of their own soldiers in exchange for bloody battles, and the generals who went out to fight are also proud of their names appearing in the war report.
