And Jieli Khan looked at the figure of Ashina Simo, and shouted hysterically: "You, you people are all slaves of Ben Khan, and you are all cattle of Ben Khan!" But now you have all betrayed Ben Khan, you have all betrayed Ben Khan! ”

With the return of Ashina Simo, the grassland gradually returned to its former calm.

The stability of the situation in the grassland made the Tang Emperor Li Shimin and the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty feel a lot of emotion. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty asked Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, the right servant of the Tang Shangshu, and the secretary of the ministry Xuanling to summarize the experience of stabilizing the situation in the grassland, so as to provide reference for the Tang Dynasty to deal with the problems of the Central Plains and other ethnic groups in the future.

A few days later, Li Xuan and Fang Xuanling put forward the three experiences of "public security in China, inclusiveness, and virtue in Sui".

Public security in China is to make Datang more secure and powerful, and the surrounding countries and nationalities will compete to rely on and obey the jurisdiction of Datang;

Inclusiveness means treating the neighboring countries and nationalities equally, changing the old concept of "valuing China and despising the people", treating the neighboring countries and nationalities equally, respecting the national habits and lifestyles of the neighboring nationalities, appointing the leaders of ethnic minorities as officials, and treating their leaders with courtesy;

To treat ethnic minorities with virtue means to subdue people with virtue and to avoid suppression and brutal rule by force.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, gladly accepted it, and said: "Since ancient times, emperors have always 'valued China and despised Di', and I love it as one, so all tribes will also rely on me as their parents." ”

Soon, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin also found that in the customs of the surrounding countries and nationalities, the political power was mostly controlled by the concubines, and he decided to vigorously promote the policy of peace and proximity, and the princesses of the Tang Dynasty were constantly married to neighboring countries and nationalities, so as to strengthen the ties between the surrounding countries and the Tang Dynasty.

The left servant of the Tang Dynasty Shangshu and the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Fang Xuanling also said: "The Central Plains is newly determined." The soldiers are in danger, and the ministers also think that the best way to make peace with their relatives is the best. ”

Li Shimin said with emotion: "I am the parents of the people, as long as it is beneficial to the people and the society, I will never cherish a daughter." ”

After that, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin followed the covenant with Tuli, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan. Sent three princesses to marry the prince of Tuli, He Li, and Yi Nan, and soon married her sister, Princess Hengyang, to Ashina Sheer, the son of Luo Khan of the Turkic Dynasty, and married Princess Honghua to Tuyuhun Khan, a large country in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty.

For a time, it greatly improved the prestige of Datang in the surrounding countries and narrowed the relationship between Datang and the surrounding countries.

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin's open-mindedness, leniency, and the combination of force and chaos and the ethnic policy of combining rigidity and softness have greatly strengthened the political, economic, and cultural ties between the neighboring countries and the Tang Dynasty, and the borders between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries and nationalities are also very lively. There is an endless stream of business travel, and the neighboring countries and nationalities are also willing to respect the Tang Dynasty and learn advanced knowledge and concepts from the Central Plains. More than a dozen small tribes such as Xi (xi) and Murowei in the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty, as well as various small countries in the Western Regions, have requested internal subordinates to attach themselves to the Tang Dynasty; Because of the war, the Turkic people who fled to Gaochang and Tuyuhun also returned one after another after hearing the preferential treatment of the Turks who had been annexed to the Turks in the Tang Dynasty. Reattached to the Tang Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the ethnic groups in the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty and the monarchs of the Western Regions came to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Please honor the Tang Emperor Li Shimin as the common leader of all ethnic groups "Tian Khan".

Li Shimin said with a smile: "As the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, can I still be the 'Heavenly Khan' of various tribes?" ”

The kings of all the countries fell to the ground and shouted "Heavenly Khan".

Tang Emperor Li Shimin had no idea, and looked back at Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an.

Li Xuan nodded slightly at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin Tunnel safely accepted the title of "Heavenly Khan" from the kings of various countries.

The ministers of the Tang Dynasty and the monarchs and ministers of various countries all returned to the ground and shouted long live.

In Taiji Palace, Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair wearing a dragon robe. Li Xuan sat in the first position at the bottom left of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin slowly opened his mouth and said to Li Xuan: "King Yong'an, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the monarchs of these countries to respect me as the 'Heavenly Khan'?" You let me accept the title of 'Heavenly Khan'. Is this any good for my Datang? ”

Li Xuan knew in his heart that it must be a good thing for the monarchs of various countries to respect Li Shimin as the "Heavenly Khan". The experience of later generations let Li Xuan know that the monarchs of various countries respected Li Shimin as the "Heavenly Khan", just like after World War II, all countries in the world asked for the establishment of the United Nations, but the United Nations established after World War II was a joint participation of all countries in the world to deal with emergencies around the world and maintain world order and peace; And now the monarchs of various countries ask to respect Li Shimin as the "Heavenly Khan", but they jointly respect Li Shimin as the leader of all countries and tribes, and establish the United Nations led by the Tang Dynasty with the Tang Emperor Li Shimin as the leader, so that the Tang Dynasty can cover its influence to the surrounding dozens of countries, and can also intervene in the government affairs of the surrounding dozens of countries in accordance with the interests of the Tang Dynasty, support the forces close to the Tang Dynasty, and promote the exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding dozens of countries, which is very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, Li Xuan instigated the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to accept the title of "Heavenly Khan".

Li Xuan said to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the title of Heavenly Khan is jointly respected by the monarchs of all countries, so these countries have recognized the status of the Tang Dynasty's suzerainty, and hope that when their country is in danger, the Tang Dynasty can help." And Your Majesty, you have won the title of Heavenly Khan, the northern and western regions of these countries are the barrier of my Datang, and my Datang can also take the opportunity to cover these countries with influence, support the forces close to my Datang in their countries, maintain the stability of the northern and western frontiers of my Datang, expand exchanges with these countries in the north and west, and promote the better development of my Datang and these countries and these peoples, so isn't it better than conquering these countries by force? They must all be willing to make friends with my Datang and promote the development of their respective countries and nations. Isn't it a great benefit to me to Datang to count such things in one fell swoop? ”

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly realized: "The monarchs of all countries respect me as the Khan of the Heavens, and they also take a fancy to my Datang's strong strength and strong country, and they intend to rely on it for self-preservation, they voluntarily join my Datang and become the barrier of my Datang, a vassal, so it is very beneficial to my Datang and all countries, I should indeed agree." Fortunately, King Yong'an was there at that time, so I didn't miss such a great opportunity. (To be continued.) )
