Soon the Tang Emperor Li Shimin issued an edict: the entire Tang army withdrew from the grassland, dividing the grassland into three, Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan each lived in one of them, and Tuli, Qi He Li, and Yi Nan were responsible for suppressing the rebellion of Jieli Khan in their respective territories. In accordance with the agreement, the Tang Dynasty recovered the hometowns of the original Han people in Yunzhong and Hetao, set up ten prefectures, and set up a governor's office for management. Because of the famine, millions of people on the grassland can go to Datang to set up a state to live, and Datang will provide them with food, houses and farm tools for free.

Since then, the grassland problem has been resolved, and the Turks, Khimali, and Yinan have been busy suppressing the old Turkic Jieli Khans in their respective territories, while the Tang Dynasty has withdrawn from the grasslands and is busy relocating the steppe people who have come from all over the grasslands.

A month later, Tai Chi Palace.

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair to deal with government affairs, and the chief eunuch Wang Fugui reported to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin with joy: "Your Majesty, the prisoner car escorting the Turkic Jieli Khan has passed the martial arts and is about to arrive in the imperial capital. ”

Li Shimin stood up suddenly, and said happily: "Let the prisoner car escorting Jieli wait at the head of the bridge, and I will go to see his fate in person." ”

On the land on both sides of the bridge, because of the arrival of spring, the colors have begun to be rich, no longer clinging to the white of the snow, and in the woods near the bridge, the sound has begun to contend, no longer showing the cold tranquility, and the river under the bridge has also thawed, and the song of "Ding Ding Dong Dong" has begun. The light greenery renders the vigorous vitality, and the faint fragrance of flowers decorates the warm poetry, as if spring suddenly gave the depressed people a sunny mood, and suddenly gave the world a warm beauty.

The prisoner car escorting the Turkic Jieli Khan was parked at the head of the bridge, and the Tang soldiers in charge of escorting knelt on the ground, and the Tang Emperor Li Shimin rushed from Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, with a joyful face, followed by Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, and several other important ministers.

Before the carriage in which the Turkic Jieli Khan was imprisoned. The Tang Emperor Li Shimin tightened the reins of his horse and listened, and Li Xuan and other important ministers of the court also stopped.

A guard who followed the Tang Emperor Li Shimin urged the horse to the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and revealed the Turkic Jieli Khan sitting inside.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sat proudly on his horse and looked at Jieli coldly. His hair was messy, but he looked at the sky. didn't look at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin held a horsewhip and pointed at Jieli Khan and said: "Jieli, do you remember that four years ago, you led an army of 400,000 Turks to coerce Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and inflicted shame on me in the Tang Dynasty?" ”

The Khan raised his head high and said nothing.

Li Shimin continued: "Jieli, I told you that this battle for the world does not rely on swords and guns, but on people's hearts, now you should believe it." I think that at the beginning, you commanded 400,000 Turkic elites to threaten Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. But why are you now the only one left, captured by me? ”

Jieli Khan suddenly spoke, sighed and said: "It's a pity, Ben Khan should really order the army to break through Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, at all costs, and crush you and your capital to pieces." If this was the case, why would you be here today to be arrogant and humiliated by you? ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Jieli, it seems that until today, you have not understood the importance of people's hearts." You still only believe in knives and guns. If you have enough mind, tolerate Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan. Reuse Ashina Simo and these people, how can I, the Tang Dynasty, completely defeat your Turks in a decisive battle, and completely defeat the Great Turkic Khanate with a vast territory and 600,000 elite cavalry? ”

Jieli looked up to the sky and smiled, and the laughter echoed throughout the field, and everyone laughed in horror.

Laughing. Jieli said loudly: "Li Shimin, do you think you really defeated my Great Turkic Khanate?" You have only defeated Ben Khan's 600,000 iron horsemen, and I will always be their supreme khan in my Great Turkic Khanate, as long as you dare to kill me. My Great Turkic Khanate will have a feud with your Datang, and will oppose your Datang for generations, so that your Datang will never be at peace. ”

Li Shimin said angrily: "Hmph, Jieli, do you think I will be afraid of you? Do you think that if you use such an excuse, I will not dare to kill you? I want to tell you that you are wrong, I am the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and there is nothing I dare not do. ”

Soon, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin led his ministers back to the palace.

In the Taiji Palace, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin rushed to the ministers and issued an edict: "Three days later, ask for Jieli in Chang'an East City!" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, hurriedly got up and admonished: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jieli can't be killed!" ”

The entire Taiji Palace was suddenly silent, and Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan in surprise and asked, "Why?" Jieli is my great enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and he has plagued my people of the Tang Dynasty for many years. ”

The ministers also echoed the edict of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

Only Li Xuan said resolutely: "Your Majesty, Jieli is indeed a person who has done a lot of evil, in the eyes of my Tang people, he is an enemy chieftain, he should indeed be killed, but in the eyes of the Turks, he is the supreme Khan of the Turks, and the nominal king of the Turks." If Jieli is killed, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the grassland situation, cause millions of people on the grassland to have deep resentment against my Datang, and intensify the national contradictions between the people of the grassland and the people of my Datang. ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin said: "But if you don't kill Jieli, it is difficult to eliminate the ruthlessness in your heart?" Jieli, I must be killed. ”

Li Xuan knelt down and admonished: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" In this world, the sharpest weapon is not a knife or gun, but hatred. Killing Jieli, although His Majesty vomited his heart, but millions of hearts on the grassland planted a deep hatred, they gathered together, it was a flood that no one could stop, they scattered, that is countless moths that can eat bones and invade flesh. Your Majesty, if you think about it, it took more than two months for the prisoner car escorting the Turkic Jieli from the grassland to Chang'an, and it was attacked and harassed every day, so doesn't it show the status and weight of Jieli in the hearts of the people of the grassland? If my Datang really kills Jieli, it will hurt the hearts of many grassland people, and they will definitely try their best to oppose my Datang at all costs in the future. (To be continued.) )
