The news of Du Ho's triumph has already reached Du Fu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The master of the family has made such a feat, from the heroine to the maid, all of them are rejoicing, jumping together, and welcoming the head of the family with colorful lights.

Changle and Li Xueyan were dressed up beautifully, and planned to rush to the east gate of Chang'an to meet their lovers.

Du He's expedition this time adds up to more than a year.

As a husband with deep feelings, this year is undoubtedly a long time.

Changle and Li Xueyan, who were alone in the empty boudoir, got up early this morning and dressed up, and they were satisfied for many hours.

Seeing that it was not early, the group was ready to leave.

Changle held Xiao Bao'er in one hand and Sayuri in the other, looked left and right, didn't see Wu Meiniang, and said busily: "Meiniang hasn't come yet, who of you has seen her this morning?" She remembered that she hadn't seen Wu Meiniang all morning this morning.

Li Xueyan also said: "I didn't see her either, I'll urge her" She was in a hurry and walked away.

She's fast, but there's a little guy who's faster.

Sayuri is three years old this year, which is the most lively age. What's more, she is very active, let Changle take her hands, bored in every way, and has long wanted to find something to do. As soon as he heard that there was this opportunity, he hurriedly broke free of Changle's hand and ran away.

Changle was in a hurry and shouted: "Slow down, don't fall......"

Sayuri giggled and responded: "I know, my mother loves to worry about it" She said that she knew, but the speed did not slow down, and the three steps of one jump and one jump turned into a lot and disappeared into the yard.

Sayuri said that she is a collection of thousands of favors and a body is not an exaggeration, she is the only daughter in the family, and she pleases Li Shimin, and treats her as the meat of her heart, Xingzi is also like a wild child, straight to the point, without any care. Except for being a little jealous of Changle, no one else is afraid.

When she came to Wu Meiniang's courtyard, she shouted directly: "Sanniang, Sanniang" Seeing that no one should answer, she pushed open the door and broke in.

"Bump!" A bang.

Wu Meiniang, who was in the house, was startled, her hand shook, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground, and the whole person came back to her senses. Seeing Sayuri standing outside the house in a daze, she couldn't help but panic, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, little girl?" ”

Sayuri is eccentric, the first to see Wu Mei Niang is eccentric, and she didn't dare to step forward, but now she sees her return to normal, and she walked up with a smile, and said affectionately: "Sanniang, Daddy is almost here, my mother will let you go with me." ”

Wu Meiniang remembered what was going on and hurriedly got up from her seat.

Wu Meiniang is steady, has a sad childhood experience, and has developed a young and old Xingzi, with the style of Mount Tai collapsing in front of her, and her face does not change sè. Even if you encounter a major event that is critical to Xing's life, you can still be calm. But now she suffers from gains and losses, and even has the idea of escaping and not daring to meet Du He in her heart.

Although you will suffer from endless lovesickness when you hide it, there is always a glimmer of hope, but if you meet, things will fail, and there will be no hope.

Once a woman falls into the whirlpool of emotions, even if she is Wu Meiniang, the iron-blooded queen in history, she suffers from gains and losses like a child, and she is at a loss, even if she has the intelligence that turns the clouds and rain, she can't give full play to it.

Seeing Sayuri waiting on the side, she was very confused, and she couldn't find an excuse to push, so she hastily took a little rest and joined Changle and Li Xueyan.

"Minister Li Daozong and Du He have seen Your Majesty'......"

Before Li Shimin's departure, Du He, Li Daozong and the generals behind him dismounted together, hugged their fists and bowed: they were all wearing white armor, and there were already regulations in the army, and when the soldiers in white armor met the emperor, they only needed to bow lightly, and they did not need to bow down.

At this time, the monarch and the minister are like the boss and employees of a company, they only bend down for etiquette, not slaves and masters, there is no need to kneel at all, even the common people do not need to kneel. In fact, throughout the entire Han dynasty, the so-called bow is not the kind of etiquette that practices itself. The real ritual of kneeling and worshipping is actually because the Qing Dynasty knelt three times and bowed nine times in order to enslave the Han people. After the Manchus entered China, they were afraid that the Han people would not respect themselves, so they carried out a reform of the etiquette system, stipulating that in addition to calling themselves slaves, ministers must also perform three kneels and nine bows. said that the Manchus and the Han were equal, but in fact, the Han people were still treated as slaves.

Li Shimin laughed, walked out of the line in the snow, personally helped the two of them, and said, "The two Aiqing are in armor, so there is no need to be polite." He looked around the four fields, and the two armies of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses lined up like ants, neatly lined up, and said loudly: "My warriors of the Tang Dynasty are marching south and north, you are invincible, with the war knife in your hands, open up the territory for my Datang, I represent the thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty, thank you for your contribution to the Tang Dynasty Warriors, go home"

Regardless of whether Li Shimin's words were a deliberate move to buy people's hearts, but the army that had experienced life and death, hearing this words of recognition of them, all had a strange feeling, and shouted in unison: "Datang Wansheng..............."

The shouting sound was like thunder in the sky, reaching the sky.

Under the guidance of Li Shimin and hundreds of civil and military officials, the triumphant division went to Chang'an in an orderly manner.

The people with a strong sense of honor in Chang'an have already lined up in a long line, and the widest Vermilion Bird Street is almost paved with fresh huā, showing a very high enthusiasm, so that every soldier can proudly enjoy the honor he has created.

Du He saw Changle and Li Xueyan at the city gate.

For the people who greeted him, Li Shimin had already arranged for the people of the Ministry of Rites to make arrangements for a vast forbidden area outside the city gate, and specially arranged for the families of those soldiers who went out to fight. Changle has a high status, so he naturally received the most special care, and Li Xueyan, Wu Meiniang and the two little guys were in the front row, and there was no need to look for them at all, and they could see it at a glance.

Du He beckoned to them, and the three women all smiled in response.

Sayuri pulled Xiao Bao'er out of the crowd directly and ran to Du He, completely ignoring Du He's team.

Du He couldn't cry or laugh, this is small. The girl was still so lawless, but the feeling of blood dissolving in water still made him can't help jumping off the horse, reaching out and holding the two little guys in his hands, and said with a smile: "It's so heavy, I've grown up a lot, and in a few years, my father won't be able to hold it." As he spoke, he kissed one on each of the two little ones' faces.

Sayuri's big eyes, the bones turned straight, and said with a smile: "Daddy, I want you to pull, Daddy is so majestic, Daddy, I want to get on the horse with you, okay?" As he spoke, he looked at his father pitifully with his hopeful gaze. She felt that her father was so good, so loved and worshipped, and she wanted to be polished.

Xiao Bao'er is much more stable, but after all, she is a child, and she didn't say anything, but she also jumped in her eyes, which meant the same thing.

"Good" for more than a year, Du He has a lot of love for the flesh and blood, but also a little ashamed, feeling that he is not a qualified good father, for this request, without thinking about it, he agreed. Holding the two little ones, on the snow without a shadow, with them to accept the joy of triumph.

The two little ones were in Du He's arms, raising their heads high, as if they were afraid that others would not know about their Du He child.

If it is said that the welcome is a major event, then the sacrifice of prisoners is a major event.

The prisoner sacrifice ceremony is a major event to promote the national prestige, throughout the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony held has been several beginnings, but to this day there is only one grand prisoner sacrifice ceremony, that is, the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Dragonfly broke the Eastern Turks to capture Li Khan, and the rest did not seem grand.

But this time the grandeur of the ceremony was covered by the year. is all because Du He is young, the deeds of destroying the two kingdoms and capturing the two kings are too amazing, and because Li Daozong did what the Yuan Dynasty did not do. In addition, this time is different from the past, Zhenguan four years, the sacrifice of prisoners is for the people to see. And now, because of the emergence of Du He, the overall vision of the Tang Dynasty has changed greatly, no longer confined to one place, but to the world, becoming the leader of all countries in the world, the greater purpose of this prisoner sacrifice is to promote the divine power of the Tang Army to the world.

The so-called sacrifice of prisoners is not to send all the captives together, but to choose those with status among the hundreds of thousands of captives, and slowly escort them into Beijing in a team of 1,000 people.

At the forefront are naturally the highest status people such as Goguryeo's Quangai Suwen, Tubo King Songtsen Gampo, Nanzhao Bird Barbarian King Méng Nan, and White Barbarian King Yang Kun.

Under the escort of the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army, all the cadres knelt down in front of Li Shimin and accepted the judgment and humiliation of the victor.

For these people, this kind of thing is a great shame. Even if it's death, it's something that you don't want to accept. But as losers, they simply don't have a choice.

In order to prevent them from making trouble, Duhe and they have already done special treatment beforehand.

Death is not terrible for these people, but they can't survive or die, but no one is afraid.

Quangai Suwen and Yang Kun bowed their heads in the torture, and Songtsan Gampo and Méng were tough guys, unwilling to kneel in front of Li Shimin and accept this shame.

Duhe also has his own means, and everyone has weaknesses, and Songtsen Gampo and Méng are no exception.

The two of them have one thing in common, they love nurses. If they did not bow their heads, Du He would threaten the lives of the captured 60,000 Tubo soldiers and 30,000 Nanzhao soldiers.

It is difficult for Songtsen Gampo and Méng to be loved by the soldiers, and they are by no means the kind of villains who abandon their own soldiers for the sake of their own defeats.

Faced with such coercion, the two had to compromise and knelt in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin laughed loudly, and hundreds of civil and military officials also celebrated.

Du He watched beside Li Shimin, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, Songtsen Gampo and Méng were also a generation of heroes, and it was not what he wanted to be humiliated like this. But he couldn't change the facts, not to mention that they brought it all on themselves.

At the moment when they chose Datang as their enemy, their fate was already doomed, and no one could change it.

After the triumph and the sacrifice of prisoners, it is naturally a much-anticipated reward for meritorious deeds.

There is no doubt that the first merit of Du He and Li Daozong, the commanders of the left and right armies respectively, will not be able to run away from the first merit.

But compared with Li Daozong's breaking of Goguryeo, the situation of Duhe's southern expedition was even worse, and the results of destroying the two kingdoms and capturing the two kings were undoubtedly above Li Daozong.
