Chapter 18: Tang Destroys the Turks (I)
In a vast snow-capped mountain, the two teams of Tang soldiers who were divided into two roads attacked back and forth, and caught Jieli and others who were gnawing on rabbits in one fell swoop.
Zhang Baoxiang looked at Jieli carefully, and finally saw his identity from his golden silk felt hat, looked up to the sky and laughed twice, and then ordered someone to report to the two coaches, Li Jing and Li Ji, and caught Jieli Khan himself.
Jieli originally wanted to quibble, but when he saw that the matter was revealed, he lowered his head helplessly and followed Tang Bing to be escorted back to the city.
Jieli's capture announced the end of the Eastern Turks, and Li Er was overjoyed and ordered the Turkic Khan Jieli to be immediately sent to Beijing
"Big brother, big brother! Jackie has been caught! The Eastern Turks are gone! The door of the inner mansion was kicked open with a "bump", and then Xu Yang heard the rough voice of Yu Chi Baolin at the gate of the compound.
"How many times have I told you to remember to knock on the door, your sister-in-law is pregnant and can't stand the toss." Xu Yang pushed open the door with a straight face and walked out, reprimanding.
"Oh" Yu Chi Baolin lowered his head a little embarrassed, looking like a child who had been trained. Cheng Chumo, who was standing next to him, was still very excited, holding a newspaper in his hand, and said excitedly: "Big brother, there is a reason why Baolin is so excited, Jieli was caught by Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy head of the Heng'an Road March, and is now being escorted to Jingshi, and the Eastern Turks have been destroyed by my Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Chongyi and Li Dejian next to him also looked excited, and their faces were flushed.
Xu Yang shrugged his shoulders, "Wouldn't it be better to destroy the Eastern Turks than to read novels on mobile phones?" The mobile phone reading network is like a bag to get things, and my Datang Xiaoyong Chengguan is not talking about playing. Xu Yang still remembered that those soldiers who were equipped with alloy armor and guns couldn't win a Turk at sunset, so Li Jing could commit suicide and apologize.
"That's right. Eldest brother. His Majesty seems to be summoning important ministers to hold a celebratory ceremony. Big brother, you seem to be on the list. Cheng Chumo congratulated.
"Oh?" Xu Yang paused, "Then will your father go?" ”
"They're all drunk in the Qin Mansion now!"
In March of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Er held a grand ceremony to sacrifice prisoners in Chang'an. As a prisoner of the ladder. Being led by someone, the Tang Taimiao of the Taoist Li Erjia turned around, bowed three times and bowed nine times, expressing submission and repentance, this so-called captive Taimiao. Then, Jieli was led to Suncheon Tower.
There is a throne on the upper floor. Li Eryi dressed in a dress and sat on it. On both sides stood the eldest grandson Wuji and other important ministers who had been awarded knighthoods, Xu Yang was also impressively listed, and not far away stood a burly imperial guard.
On the square outside the Shuntian Gate, the flag is fluttering, and there are crowds of people. Taizong sent an edict to the people to look around, so all the people on the periphery of the square stood to watch the lively people.
Inside, thousands of soldiers who had returned from the front line were lined up, even more dressed in military uniforms, with their chests held high. The spirit is extraordinary, and the chengguan flag fluttering beside them shows that they are the most elite troops trained by the Tang Dynasty; Further in. He is a large and small civil and military official in Beijing.
At the end of the day, under the gaze of countless eyes, more than 1,000 Turkic captives with officials and titles such as Jieli were brought into the square by the soldiers. All the captives were shackled, and a red cloth with a round hole was passed over their heads, covering their chests and backs, and when they reached their designated positions, they were shouted to kneel down in front of Suncheonmon.
An obese eunuch strode to the gate of Suncheon, raised a special whip, and "swished" to make three clean whips, and heard the sound of the square.
The noise in the square gradually fell silent.
The eunuch who cleaned the whip retreated, and the secretary of the criminal department stepped forward, stood on a temporary platform in front of the door, held a verdict in his hand, read aloud the crimes of each captive, and asked the emperor to allow him to go to the city to behead Cao according to the law.
If you want to kill all these thousands of Turkic captives, there was a commotion in the audience, and those Turkic captives showed a desperate look, looking at Li Er on the Shuntian Gate, hoping that Li Er would not be killed.
"Spread the benefits of seeing-" There was a joint cheer from the Shuntian Tower.
Immediately afterwards, a few tall and tall Tiger Benyu Lin Jun came over, grabbed the Jieli and left, dragged it and carried it, and entered the Shuntian Gate.
Entering the Shuntian Gate, there is no cave.
On both sides of the road, the red ground felt is paved on the ground, and it is full of objects, what is wrong Jin Shuoding, copper bells, Warring States Long, copper drums, jade zun, golden beasts, golden tiger stripes round screens, all of them are brilliant and dazzling. This is Li Er's intention to show the civilization of the Han nationality in a lily manner.
Sergeant Yulin took Jie Li by the hand and told him to walk slowly and watch carefully. Jieli was also dazzled, and nodded as if pecking rice.
After looking around, Jieli was led to the castle tower.
Seeing him coming, the crowd automatically dodged a way for him, and Jie Liben knew Li Er, so he stepped forward, prostrated himself and pleaded guilty, and said a lot.
Li Er didn't understand either, and without waiting for the translator to translate, he reprimanded loudly: "There are five crimes, Er's father's country is broken, Lai Sui is safe, and he doesn't use one clan to help him, so that his temple and society will not eat blood, one also; Abandon faith and disturb the side with my neighbor, the second also, the warlike army, so that the white bones are harmful, and the third is also sin; Ravaging my house and plundering my children are the four sins; I forgive you for the sins you have committed, and save them in your country, and you will not come back, and you will not be able to come for the fifth sin. I am not nameless to kill, and Gu Weishang's alliance has not been forgotten, so I am not responsible. ”
The translator leaned down and translated Li Er's words to Jie Li word by word. When Jieli heard that Li Ergu remembered the Weishui Alliance and would not kill him, he was moved and cried and thanked.
Li Er is completely a victor and gracious gesture, he promised, not far away to say a word to Jieli, called the Taifu Qing and instructed: "Lead Jieli to your Taifu Temple to live, so that you can take care of him, don't wronged him, if he has any requirements, he can meet him." ”
Tai Fu Qing agreed again and again, and at this time, someone had already removed the shackles and handcuffs for Jieli, and Jieli moved his hands and feet, like Li Er, and turned around and followed Tai Fuqing.
At this time, it was time to interrogate those Turkic nobles under the Shuntian Gate, Li Er's face was disgusted, he still had the least respect for the emperor, so he spared Jieli's life, but for these Turkic nobles, he didn't have the slightest good feeling, and waved his hand, "Behead all these Turks to make an example!" ”
A general officer of the Yulin Army next to him clenched his fists and was about to go down to carry out the order, at this time Xu Yang suddenly stood up, thousands of laborers, one factory is enough to meet all the personnel, if you kill here, it will be all wasted.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these Turks should not be killed." Xu Yang stood up and said, and the eldest grandson Wuji and the others next to him were all looking at him very curiously.
"Oh? Why does Xu Aiqing think that these guilty people should not be killed? "I have to say that the current Li Er is still very polite to Xu Yang, after all, he predicted the important state affairs of the Tang Dynasty twice, and he must give face.
"It is precisely because they are sinful people that the minister thinks that they should not be killed, but that they should be allowed to atone for their sins." Xu Yang's eyes leaked a glimmer of light.
Li Er also reflected, and very casually picked up a glass of imperial wine prepared by the maid next to him, took a sip and asked, "Then according to what Xu Aiqing said, how to deal with these Turkic nobles?" ”
"Recently, a lot of coal mines have been discovered in Xuzhou, Huaibei and other prefectures, and there is a shortage of coal miners there, so I think it would be excellent to let these Turks go to coal mining."
At the end of the captive ceremony, Li Er issued an edict, and more than 4,000 Turkic nobles outside the Shuntian Gate were pardoned, and at the same time sent them to atone for the Tang Dynasty.
Shuntianmen held a grand ceremony to sacrifice prisoners, and Emperor Li Yuan, who lived in Da'an Palace, was also a surprise. At this time, he had no resentment towards his son, he stood under the front porch of the hall, listened to the cheers from the direction of Shuntianmen, unconsciously shed tears, and sighed to the sky: "Han Gaozu Baideng was surrounded, shame did not get snow, revenge can not be avenged, now I have captured the profit, exterminate the Turks, I can entrust it, what is the worry!" ”
Emperor Li Yuan was chattering to the sky, and a small attendant rushed in from outside the palace, shouting: "Emperor Taishang, Emperor Taishang, the emperor is here!" ”
As soon as the words fell, a group of people appeared at the gate of Da'an Palace, adding a lively atmosphere to the lonely Da'an Palace.
Li Er's face was joyful, and he walked up the steps and came to the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan. Facing Li Yuan, he was about to kneel and salute, but a close attendant picked him up, and the two generations of emperors walked into the hall side by side (to be continued......
