At the end of December of the first year of Kaiyuan, Li Jing returned to the dynasty in triumph and held a grand ceremony to sacrifice prisoners in Luoyang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners was held at the south gate of Luoyang Ziwei Palace, which was originally called Zetianmen, and after the official relocation of the capital to Luoyang, the emperor designated it as the Zhonghua Gate, which became an important place for the imperial court to hold major state celebrations and diplomatic activities.

This magnificent Zhonghua Gate is a huge building complex in the shape of a gatehouse, a battlement tower, an east and west tower, and a gate zigzag between each other. There are two views on the Zhonghua Gate, the purple microcosm is written on it, the left and right are connected with the corridor in the middle, like a pavilion in the air, the city gate is 66 zhang wide from east to west, it is larger than the Beijing Forbidden City Noon Gate of the later generations, it is nearly three times the depth of Tiananmen Square. Among them, the height of the que is 120 feet, and this magnificent city tower is almost equivalent to a dozen storey high-rise buildings in later generations, which is higher than Tiananmen Square in Beijing. One side of the Zhonghua Gate is three out of the que, there are six on both sides, the city tower has two views, this is the highest etiquette system of the main gate of the ancient capital palace city, the two views, the Son of Heaven is three out of the que, everything is the highest etiquette system enjoyed by the Son of Heaven.

In front of the Zhonghua Gate, Li Jing personally escorted Datou Khan and other more than 100 Turkic aristocratic leaders and generals, and Datou knelt in the prisoner car and was pushed in front of the emperor.

Yi Feng looked at Datou, "We finally met, we have heard the name of Datou Khan, but we have never had the opportunity to meet, but now we are meeting on such an occasion." ”

Datou sighed deeply, "Yes, I have imagined countless times that one day I will be able to enter the Central Plains and see the prosperity of the Great Sui Capital with my own eyes. Unexpectedly, he would appear in such an identity today. Either Caesar or nothing. Speechless. ”

"Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Your defeat today is not because you are not strong or strong, but because you rely on the tribe left to you by your father, regardless of faith and righteousness, only talk about brute bravery, invade everywhere, and vainly want to invade the Central Plains. The Turks were once a powerful tribe, but they had long since submitted to the Great Sui and made oaths to each other. When you were fighting for Mohe Khan. I also personally wrote a book to ask for it, but I forgot all about it as soon as I turned around? ”

Datou lowered his head, and he couldn't listen to anything anymore.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to repent and be loyal to the Great Sui forever in the future."

Yi Feng looked at Da Tou, and there was not the slightest remorse in his eyes, "You want to go back to the grassland?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Da Tou replied, "The minister knows that Your Majesty is now dividing the heads of the tribes into princes. The minister knew that he was guilty, and he did not dare to ask to rule the grassland again, but only asked His Majesty to let the minister return to the Western Regions and continue my family's territory. I swear to Your Majesty that when I go back, I will change my past mistakes and fight for Your Majesty. ”

Yi Feng sneered. "You don't really think I'm going to believe you, do you?" He shook his head, "Besides. Even if you really want to repent, I've already sealed up the eastern and western grasslands. There is no extra land to divide up for you. But you are also an important member of the Anashi family, now that you have come to the Central Plains, don't think about going back, stay in the Central Plains, enjoy the flower world of the Central Plains, and the splendid country. I, I specially grant you the title of disobedient marquis, give you a set of mansions in Luoyang, and when I have time in the future, I will find you to hunt and drink together, wouldn't it be happy? Hahaha! ”

Da Tou's face was ugly, gloomy and about to drip water, he didn't expect that this young emperor was not moved by his words at all, not at all like Yang Jianshi in the past. When Apo was captured by Mo Hesheng and dedicated to Chang'an, Yang Jian did not execute Apo, nor did he imprison him in the Central Plains, but let him return to the Western Regions and give him the title of Khan. Originally, after being captured, he thought that his situation would be similar to that of Apo, and after being reprimanded by the Central Plains Emperor, he would eventually be released back to the grassland. I didn't expect that in the end, I actually sealed a marquis, and he was still a disobedient marquis, and he could only stay in the Central Plains Jingshi's disobedient marquis. I can't go back to the grassland.

"Disobey Hou Ashina. Don't kneel down and thank you for the decree! ”

A tall Sui Dynasty official stood aside and shouted.

Da Tou looked up at the Great Sui Emperor, and then at the prison cart fence between them, and finally knelt down helplessly and thanked the Great Sui Emperor. "Minister, Ashina. His Majesty the Emperor Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

"Hahaha!" Seeing Da Tou kneeling down, Yi Feng couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart, the last great khan of the Turks, who was captured and sacrificed to Yu Que, also knelt down to himself, which was not only a victory for himself, but also a victory for the Great Sui.

With the victory of the Second Northern Expedition in the first year of Kaiyuan, the Dulan soldiers were defeated and died, and the Datou soldiers were defeated and captured, and they were sacrificed to His Majesty, and the emperor's strategy of redefining the order of the grassland was also initially implemented.

On the first day of the first month of the second year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, 243 feudal princes of the grassland, 16 feudal princes of the Western Regions, as well as Tiele, Dangxiang, Jinya, Murowei, Silla, Baekje, Dongying, Linyi, Sunbo, vassal states, Nuguo, Tubo, Zhangxiong and other vassal states sent envoys to lead envoys to congratulate and pay tribute, in addition to Goguryeo, Persia, Rome, Tianzhu and other vassal states also sent envoys.

On the New Year's Day of the second year of Kaiyuan, the Great Sui Dynasty came from all sides and congratulated from all directions, and the Great Sui really established the Celestial Empire system with the Great Sui as the Chinese side in the East. Since then, the Great Sui has agreed with the countries that the families of the countries will make peace with each other and prohibit aggression, and if there is a violation, the Great Sui has the responsibility and power to stop it, and reserves the right to call the countries to send troops to fight. As the leader of the alliance, the Great Sui had the right to call up armies of all countries to defend the territory of the Great Sui and to maintain peace in the East, and at the same time, the Great Sui, as the leader of the alliance, also had the obligation to protect the vassal states from the invasion of other countries. This is a new order, a new order.

At this Great Dynasty Meeting, Yi Feng, on behalf of the Great Sui, signed this alliance agreement with the countries. At the same time, Goguryeo was affected by the astonishing fact of the destruction of the Turks, and finally had to retreat again, Gao Jianwu sent his nephew Gao Baobao as a representative of the mission, and finally agreed to the request of the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo finally agreed to take Apsusu as the border between the Great Sui and Goguryeo, and the Sui Dynasty also agreed to Goguryeo's request to demarcate the frontier and allow the Goguryeo army and the people of the four cities west of Apjugsu to withdraw their demands to the east of Aplushui. At the same time, the Great Sui also agreed to Goguryeo's request that Sui and Goguryeo demarcate the border and sign a peace agreement. A request urging the three kingdoms of Silla, Baekje, and Dongying to stop attacking Goguryeo.

Many generals in the Privy Council were a little surprised by the emperor's decision, but the ministers of the political hall were very satisfied with this result.

"The imperial court has perished the Turks. To establish a new order on the steppe, this time is the right time to return to Liaodong. Destroyed and pacified Goguryeo in one fell swoop, why did you agree to Goguryeo's request for peace? Han Seng Shou was the first to ask.

Li Gang was a person who resolutely supported the emperor's decision, "The alliance agreement signed by His Majesty and the countries this time is extremely important and of far-reaching significance, and from then on, the status of the suzerainty and alliance of the Great Sui over the surrounding countries was established, and all the countries were included in this alliance. Can't you see the meaning and function of this, and agree to Goguryeo's request at this time. This alliance agreement can be successfully signed. With this agreement, in the future, we will be able to legally and reasonably intervene in the affairs of the entire East as the suzerain, and we can take advantage of this advantage to solve some hidden dangers before they occur. ”

Xue Daoheng also agreed with the emperor's decision, "Although the imperial court has newly pacified the grassland, it must be seen that the grassland was not pacified by our army, but by using the tribal power of the grassland itself. The steppe tribes were now subject to the Great Sui, but after all, they were only subordinate vassals and not directly subordinate territories. The imperial court fought for many years and also needed to recuperate. Moreover, the imperial court is now making every effort to develop Liaodong and Liaobei. The area has not yet been secured. And Goguryeo in the southeast region of Yalushui, although only half of the country is left, it can trap the beast fight. It's also quite powerful. His Majesty has now only agreed to Goguryeo's peace talks, and he can let Goguryeo retreat to the east of Apjugsu without a fight. Wouldn't it be better to easily recover the important cities of the West Bank, such as the domestic and black bones? Temporary truce with Goguryeo. Although both sides have been given a chance to recuperate, Goguryeo in Liaodong has been lost, and the power of the people is getting weaker and weaker, how will he confront us in the future? It's not that there is no war, it's just that the time has not yet come, and when the time is ripe, the imperial court can destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop. ”

Yi Feng is indeed planning to do this, he is not in a hurry to fight with Goguryeo, after losing Liaodong, Goguryeo will not be able to compete with the Sui Dynasty at all. As long as the Great Sui stabilized the newly captured Liaodong region and then strengthened some armaments for Silla Baekje and other countries, even if the Sui Dynasty signed a peace treaty with Goguryeo, could Goguryeo really sit still? They will definitely have to strengthen their armaments, build cities and train troops, etc., these armaments and war preparations will greatly consume the country's strength, the Sui Dynasty only needs to maintain a certain pressure, and there is no need to really fight, and it will not take three or five years for there will be big problems within Goguryeo. People go to be soldiers, to build cities, to make ordnance, who will farm and who will produce? In a few years, there must be no famine, and finally the people must not rebel? At that time, when the Sui Dynasty rested and drew its sword to the east, how could Goguryeo still fight?

This is the normal situation of wars between large and small countries, and the suppression of this power alone is enough to determine the final outcome.

As for saying that now that the agreement has been signed, wouldn't it be against the identity of the alliance leader to send troops in the future? It's actually very simple, as long as you can find a reasonable reason to send troops at that time, as for the reason, it is not easy to find.

"Military is to serve politics, and military victories must be transformed into political gains." Yi Feng looked at the Zai Persists and said slowly, "Now that the situation around Dasui is very good, this is a rare opportunity, now is the time to temporarily recuperate the army and strengthen the construction of people's livelihood." If we have external strength, we must also have internal strength, and if the military is strong, we must have a strong civil administration, so that the people can be truly strong. After many years of continuous warfare, it is also time for the soldiers to temporarily disarm and return to their hometowns, and enjoy the good peace time they have worked so hard to get back. At present, there is another important thing, the provincial examinations of the provinces have come out last fall, more than 20 provinces in the country plus five capital governments, a total of 1,800 people have been admitted, and now all the people have gathered in Beijing to prepare for the examination in early February, this is the first time since the reform of the imperial imperial examination, it is related to the country's selection of scholars, it is extremely important, I ask the two government officials to pay attention to it, no matter how to ensure the smooth progress of this competition, but also to ensure fairness, openness and justice, there must be no delay. ”

"Prepare an edict, and order the soldiers of all parts of the world to disarm and return to the field!"

The Great Sui had 350,000 standing Praetorian Guards, although maintaining such a standing army would cost tens of millions of troops a year, but it also made it possible for a larger number of government soldiers to disarm and return to their hometowns when there was no war in the imperial court.

Bachelor Hanlin nodded. Record, draft.

Yi Feng took a fold from the case. First handed it to the imperial historian Liu Wenjing.

Liu Wenjing took it with some doubts and opened it to browse. The more I look at it, the more I look bad.

"You know these things, right?" Yi Feng asked.

Liu Wenjing nodded, "There is a rumor of imperial history, and it was reported to me, but because there is no definite evidence, I finally pressed it down, and I did not report it immediately, and I am still collecting evidence." ”

"Nonsense." Yi Feng said dissatisfiedly, "What is the duty of the Imperial Historical Observatory?" I and the imperial court have given you the right to hear about it, and you are the imperial history. If you are not an official of Dali Temple, what you want is an impeachment report, not a trial and conviction of the case. You have to find out your duties, I know that you are deliberately defending because of the identity of the person being impeached, but have you ever thought about it, your behavior is already suspected of dereliction of duty. It is a serious dereliction of duty, and I hope you will look back and reflect on it. You shall now be fined for one year. ”

"The minister is guilty." Liu Wenjing didn't expect the emperor to be so angry, and she was terrified.

At this time, the recital was transferred to the hands of the rest of the deacons and circulated, and after reading it, everyone understood why the emperor was angry. Hou Zhai of Dongjun let many illegal things, accept bribes, and buy and sell official positions. even resold military supplies, hoarded Juqi, and even connived at the children of the clan to make a fortune in their hometown. Stealing and robbing and operating illegal businesses. Engaging in smuggling and prohibition, etc., the imperial history impeached Zhai Rang for a total of 21 major crimes. The sins are all very serious.

As the first group of old ministers to support the emperor back then, and also had a relationship with the emperor of the opposite sex, this Shandong Haoqiang has always occupied a high position in the new dynasty. After the emperor ascended the throne, among the functional ministers awarded, Zhai Rang got a real title of Marquis of Dongjun, which can not be said to be a generous reward, but even if it is so rewarded, this local hero in Shandong back then, the local little Facao, is still not satisfied. Not only are they still engaged in illegal manufacturing and selling of ordnance, hoarding grain and grass, illegal border taxes, tax evasion, and even forcibly occupying land, accepting bribes, seeking officials for others, and so on.

It's just that because of his identity, although he has done these things, he has never been poked out. Occasionally, a few upright imperial histories wrote folds, but when they came to Liu Wenjing, they were still suppressed.

However, the pressure of the Imperial Historical Observatory does not mean that it really cannot reach the heavens, the Secret Service Department has the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, and they belong directly to the emperor.

Yi Feng sighed, "The Marquis of Dongjun once had the merit of being a dragon, but I also had a lot of rewards, but the Marquis of Dongjun knew the law and broke the law, and his behavior was very bad and unscrupulous, and he had already provoked the anger of the heavens, and many people were watching." Although I miss the old feelings, but I can't let a grain of mouse feces spoil a pot of soup, this kind of black sheep must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a very bad example, what kind of national law and law will we talk about in the future? The Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department will be tried to strictly investigate this case, and this case must be handled openly and fairly, so that the courtiers and people of the world know that under the law and discipline of the country, no one can be special! This case must be handled cleanly and beautifully, and there must not be the slightest cover-up, and the punishment should be judged how it should be! ”

Yi Feng knew very well that those who followed him were not all saints, and they would also make mistakes. There are even some people who are heroes of the new dynasty and the emperor's old department, and they have a lot of luck and violate laws and disciplines. Zhai Rang is by no means the only one who has violated the law, he is just the one whose behavior is particularly bad and the circumstances are particularly serious. What Yi Feng has to do now is to take Zhai Rang to open the knife, kill the chickens and monkeys, make an example, and put a brake on this crooked trend. He couldn't just eradicate the Guanlong Group and immediately raise a new Shandong Group.

"Your Majesty, Zhai Rang Bi Yi is a dragon hero, and he is also His Majesty's sworn brother, if he is dealt with publicly, will it have a bad impact. Is this matter handled in a low-key manner? Yang Su asked.

Yi Feng shook his head, the crooked wind slanted sharply, at this time, if he does not deal with it strictly, he even has to cover up, which will not only give those heroes a sense of connivance, but also cause the anger of others such as the Guanlong Group, this will never be a good way. Although it will be a little unreasonable to deal with Zhai Rang seriously, how much personal feelings can be talked about when he is an emperor, as the saying goes, the heavenly family is ruthless, and that's it.

Zhai Rang has endangered the rule of the imperial court, and it is time to kill him.

"Only dispose of Zhai Rang, keep his family, and only recover the taxes owed and the proceeds of embezzlement, and leave the rest to the Zhai family." This can be regarded as thinking of Zhai Rang's past achievements, otherwise, if it is an ordinary official, with Yi Feng's temperament, he will definitely come to raid the family.

"The minister agrees with His Majesty's disposition, the Marquis of Dongjun is His Majesty's righteous brother, from the dragon hero, but not only did he not cherish his reputation and title, but did this illegal thing, if he was indulged, what would others think? The heavy punishment of the Dongjun Marquis will make everyone in the world understand that His Majesty will never tolerate corruption and perversion of the law, let the subjects of the world understand His Majesty's determination, and let those people know that as long as they are corrupt and pervert the law, even if they are from the dragon, even if they are the emperor's sworn brothers, even if they are hereditary county marquis, as long as they stretch out their hands, they will be caught and beheaded, so that everyone will be vigilant and dare not act recklessly.
