Chapter 158 People who have been separated for a long time are looking forward to reuniting
Inside the manor!
Li Gen and the teenagers of the academy naturally heard the deafening cheers and shouts of Chang'an City.
Li Gen smiled and walked outside the school.
He knew that this battle was a complete victory for Datang after all.
Historically, without the blessing of binoculars and skis, the Tang Army still won a big victory.
What's more, now with the blessing of binoculars and skis, coupled with the fact that the Turks are experiencing a blizzard that has not been seen in a century.
This is a battle between adults and children.
Before it even starts, adults are destined to win.
Before lunch, the two brothers came galloping on horses.
"Seventh brother, my father returned victorious and captured the turian dog thief alive."
"Today, I should have a few drinks with my seventh brother!"
"Yes, Chu Liang should also have a few drinks with the dean!"
Invite Gongjiu to go to other people's houses to eat and drink, and what he said is so reasonable.
Only the Cheng Chumo brothers can come out.
Li Gen smiled and nodded when he heard this, but it was just two more pairs of fast children.
At the luncheon, Li Gen learned from Chu Mo and Chu Liang that the glorious results of the Eastern Army and the Western Army.
Li Yuan and Kong Yingda both trembled with excitement.
This is a great victory.
No wonder the cheers and shouts of Chang'an City came one after another.
"Brother Chumo, do you know how big the land of the Eastern and Western Turks is combined?"
"Seventh brother, I heard my father say that together, they are bigger than the land of our Datang."
Li Gen nodded approvingly and said.
"Yes, it is more vast than the land of the Tang Dynasty today, although it is mostly a bitter cold land, but there is also no lack of fertile places for water and grass."
"The Western Turks are the only way to pass through the Silk Road, and their strategic and economic status should not be underestimated."
"At present, the great victory of our army is gratifying, but how to govern and govern the vast land in the north in the future is also a matter of brains."
"Does Lantian Marquis have a good plan?"
Kong Yingda didn't wait for Cheng Chumo to speak, and he took the lead in asking questions.
As Li Shimin's arrangement by Li Gen's side, the undercover agent closest to Li Gen.
Kong Yingda already had a premonition that Li Gen must have a plan in mind.
"Dean Kong, last time the junior once told Uncle Cheng about how to govern the vast land of the north once he won a big victory, and the autonomy of the people was the policy of relaxation, and assimilation was the ultimate goal."
Li Gen's words made Kong Yingda nod solemnly.
"In order to achieve the ultimate goal, the imperial court needs a large number of cultural and educational talents to popularize and pass on the cultural knowledge and ideas of the Tang Dynasty."
"In this way, now, the reform of the imperial examination is the best shortcut to solve this problem!"
"Oh, the old man would like to hear about it!"
"Dean Kong, since the army went out, the younger generations have used their leisure time to write this."
"If Your Majesty can adopt some of these suggestions, the younger generation thinks that great things can be done!"
Li Gen walked to the table, took out a wad of papers, and handed it to Kong Yingda.
"After all, the old man did his best!"
Kong Yingda simply flipped through a few pages, and knew that there was a good chance that His Majesty would adopt it all.
After the afternoon lecture, Kong Yingda went straight to the palace.
In the imperial study, Li Shimin and Kong Yingda sat opposite each other.
After carefully reading Li Gen's suggestion, Li Shimin instantly became happy.
Today, Li Shimin led hundreds of civil and military officials to celebrate the victory of the army with the people.
In addition to being happy, as the leader of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was thinking more about how to govern that vast land.
Last time he went to the manor with Cheng Yanjin, Li Shimin had already put into practice the law of governance that Li Gen said, and Cheng Yanjin and Li Jing went with the holy decree respectively.
The purpose is to implement the policy of first implementing the policy of turbulent people and controlling the conflict.
First of all, it is the best policy to stabilize the local situation!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the reason why the eldest prince has successively launched the Tang Shu and Pinyin teaching method may have thought of such a day......"
After listening to Kong Yingda's words, Li Shimin nodded approvingly and spoke.
"Zhong Da is right, and I have this guess."
"My eldest prince, it's really not easy."
"Tomorrow, I will discuss this matter with the hundred officials, and I think it is imperative to reform the imperial examination!"
On the second day, early in the morning, Li Shimin went straight to the Hall of Virtue in high spirits.
In the Hall of Virtue, all the officials were red-faced.
The joy of victory is enough to keep people going for a long time.
And all this is just the beginning, Cheng Yanjin and Li Jing's army, the escorted Tuli dog thieves and Jieli dog thieves, arrived in Chang'an City, and it will reach a climax.
"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty!"
"Zhongqing, don't be polite!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin was sitting precariously, smiling and glancing at the ministers.
"Zhongqing, last night, I stayed awake all night, thinking about a question."
Li Shimin once again wanted to take Li Gen's credit for himself.
Anyway, it was an idea that his son came up with, and it was only natural for Lao Tzu to use it.
"Zhongqing, our army's victory is certainly gratifying, but how to make that vast land truly become the land of my Tang Dynasty?"
"How can the people there really become the people of my Datang?"
"Zhongqing, this is a question that we have to consider carefully!"
"Once it is not properly managed, a rebellion can occur at any time, and if this is the case, we will have to invest a lot of troops and financial resources to crusade again."
"In the long run, my treasury, no matter how much gold and silver treasure there is, will not be able to withstand the consumption of war."
Li Shimin's voice landed, and the Xiande Hall was quiet.
Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials who were frowning and thinking, and knew that it was time to show his true strategy.
"Zhongqing, I have been sleepless all night, and I finally came up with a good plan."
Li Shimin waved his hand, and Li Delu, the chief attendant, sent the rice paper.
All of Li Gen's strategies were re-copied on rice paper by Li Shimin.
In this way, it can be more certain that these strategies are all from his Li Shimin's hard work and meditation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to make the vast land in the north stable for a long time, I think that cultural and ideological indoctrination is the key."
"Start from the teenager, start from the baby, let them learn Tang mathematics, learn Chinese characters, learn our pinyin teaching method, learn our Tang cultural thoughts, so that many years later, when these dolls and teenagers grow up, they will be a Tang people in their bones, as a Tang people......"
“……”
Li Shimin talked eloquently, and when it came to the highlights, his face was full of energy, and his expression was also wonderful.
The civil and military officials are also excited!
They know that what His Majesty said is definitely a feasible path.
Once implemented, the northern grasslands will truly integrate into the Tang culture in the future, and when the time comes, their descendants will naturally regard themselves as Tang people!
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!"
Li Shimin's wonderful speech was unexpectedly interrupted.
This made Li Shimin very unhappy.
When he saw Wei Zheng with an excited face.
Li Shimin asked.
"Xuancheng, what's going on?"
"Your Majesty, I think what you just said is indeed an excellent solution."
"But, if this continues, how many Datang instructors will be dispatched?"
"Today, my teacher in Datang is still in a state of overstretching."
"Your Majesty, the idea is certainly beautiful, but when it comes to implementation, the difficulty is not ordinary!"
Wei Zheng's words made the civil and military officials bow their heads and nod their heads in unison, and Wei Zheng's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head.
Li Shimin naturally saw the reaction of the officials.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curved a little, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.
Wei Zheng's words were so good that they just gave Li Shimin the opportunity to continue to show his true talent.
"Xuan Cheng, what he said makes a lot of sense, but since I can think of a solution, I naturally think of how to make this matter go smoothly."
"Oh......"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then began to think about it.
"Zhongqing, just Xuancheng, what he said is very good, this matter, my idea is certainly beautiful, but it is very difficult to implement."
"I, how can I not know the difficulty of this. However, I already have a way to get the best of both worlds. I thought that from now on, I would have to change. ”
"And this most important change is to start with the imperial examination!"
Call!
Call!
Call!
The ministers gasped in unison, some of them had already thought of something.
For example, Fang Xiang Du Xiang and others instantly guessed what His Majesty meant.
Even Wei Zheng can guess eight or nine.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that the number of students admitted to the imperial examination has begun to increase significantly?"
Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin nodded with a smile and spoke.
"Xuancheng, increasing the number of admissions is only one of them, and achieving the full availability of people is the ultimate goal."
"What does it mean to be usable? That is, every candidate for the imperial examination who is exceptionally admitted is a person with a skill, and they either specialize in Tang mathematics, or are good at Chinese character pinyin, or have their own unique opinions. ”
"And these people are the hope of the future of Datang, and they are the foundation for the complete assimilation of the entire north!"
“………”
The ministers were completely stunned by Li Shimin's words.
No wonder people can become emperors, this IQ absolutely throws them off a Suzaku Street.
And Li Shimin's highlight moment continues.
"Zhongqing, I think that starting from the local state capitals, the threshold for admission to the imperial examination should be lowered."
"Let more people with lofty ideals and young talents gather in my Tang Chang'an City."
"I also know that this move may cause the population of the entire Chang'an City to increase dramatically, and the inn will be full, and even many candidates will not be able to find an inn to live in."
"The difficulties are only temporary, we can find another way to solve these problems, such as the vacant military camps around Chang'an City, or the people's homes around Chang'an City."
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy will not be able to accommodate so many candidates at all."
Wei Zheng once again successfully interrupted Li Shimin's performance.
When the ministers heard this, they also nodded frequently, indeed, if so many candidates gathered in Chang'an City, even if the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy was crowded, it would not be able to fit so many candidates.
"Xuan Cheng, it makes sense, I have already had a solution to this."
Li Shimin was not angry at Wei Zheng for interrupting his performance one after another.
On the contrary, Wei Zheng's question made Li Shimin more and more calm.
"Zhongqing, the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy will definitely not accommodate so many candidates, and Guozijian will also be the examination room at that time."
When the ministers heard this, they nodded their heads one after another, expressing their deep approval of His Majesty's decision.
"If the examination room of the Gongyuan Academy and the Guozijian still can't accommodate so many candidates, I will extend the time of the imperial examination according to the specific situation."
"It is important that all candidates who come to participate in the imperial examination can enter the examination room and participate in the imperial examination."
"Correspondingly, in today's imperial examination, the workload of the officials will be doubled, and the workload of the examiners and examiners in the examination room will also increase greatly, and I am also prepared for this, and every official here must be prepared to inspect the examination room or mark the examination papers."
Li Shimin's words made all the officials nod in unison.
As important ministers of the court, they have no hesitation and obey His Majesty's management and distribution.
"There is another major difference in today's imperial examination, that is, I have decided that all candidates must take three exams."
Li Shimin's voice landed, and the hall of Xiande was shocked.
It was a result that none of them had thought of.
As everyone knows, this is exactly the decision that Li Shimin values most in Li Gen's decision-making.
"Zhongqing, since the imperial examination, every exam has to be publicized, which not only doubles the pressure on the candidates, but also invisibly increases the burden on the imperial court."
"The reason why all candidates are allowed to participate in the scriptures, poems and strategies is because only in this way can talents be discovered as much as possible."
"Zhongqing, Ma Zhou, who is now above the court, is the best example, the year before last, in the imperial examination, Ma Zhou was the second poetry exam to fail, so that I almost lost a talent!"
"In the imperial examination, not only do you have to take three exams in a row, but also the unsuccessful candidates can also take two more exams! The last two are the Tang Mathematics and Pinyin Alphabet exams. ”
"And those who pass the last two exams are the propagators sent to the Eastern and Western Turkic cultures in my heart, and they will become the first batch to carve the foundation of the Tang Dynasty brand on that land!"
The civil and military officials in the Hall of Virtue understood it thoroughly.
It turned out that His Majesty really thought of a solution from the very beginning.
After a sleepless night, I can think of such a good plan.
That's only in Your Majesty's mind, there is such wisdom.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
After a brief silence, the officials shouted in unison.
Civil and military officials, can you not cheer excitedly?
With such a wise and martial majesty, their good days in the future are still ahead.
Li Shimin was happy and enjoyed the cheers of the officials.
"Zhongqing, since this is the case, next, let's discuss together, specifically, the details of today's imperial examination."
Li Shimin handed the rice paper in his hand to Fang Xuanling.
After signaling the room to see it, let the officials circulate and watch it one by one.
After the officials watched it one by one, they admired His Majesty, which was called a five-body cast.
Then, the Hall of Virtue entered the stage of deliberation.
In response to the changes in the imperial examination, the officials also expressed their opinions to their heart's content.
With Li Shimin's general policy, the rest is a lot of details.
Li Shimin was very satisfied with this.
Li Shimin listened carefully to the suggestions and suggestions of all officials.
Many of them have been adopted.
In the end, the dust settled on the detailed plan for the current imperial examination.
Li Shimin immediately made a decision and immediately announced his will.
One after another, the holy decree was transmitted from Chang'an City to the various prefectures and counties of the twelve provincial highways of the Tang Dynasty.
This year is destined to be an extraordinary one.
All localities have just learned of the news of the great victory of the army, and now they have once again received the holy decree of the change of the imperial examination.
As soon as the proclamations came out in various places.
The whole world was shocked, and the most excited was the candidates who participated in the imperial examination.
Compared with the past, the proportion of admission to the imperial examination and the rules of the examination have changed.
Candidates no longer have to worry about failing an exam.
Even after failing in the three exams, they still have a chance to take the Tang Shu and Pinyin exams.
In the notice, it was clearly announced that those who failed in the three exams, if they were particularly excellent in Tang Shu or Pinyin, could also be directly appointed as officials by the imperial court.
Mu Rong doubted, it was clearly announced here that as long as there was one particularly outstanding subject in the Tang Shu or Pinyin exam, they could successfully go ashore in this imperial examination.
The difficulty of the exams in various places has been reduced, and the admission threshold has been enlarged, which has made many teenagers more confident and unable to sleep at night.
At this time, in Chang'an City, the most excited are undoubtedly the girls from Pingkangfang.
In previous years, there were only a few thousand candidates, and they were so busy that they couldn't sleep at night, their legs were weak, and they were red and swollen.
Today, the imperial examination, as soon as the proclamation came out.
At least tens of thousands of candidates flocked to Chang'an City.
They had to be prepared to go to war day and night.
The battle of 10,000 people makes people tremble with excitement just thinking about it.
And, in the champion college.
When Li Gen heard the news, he was very pleased.
Because, he knew, His Majesty had finally adopted his advice.
In this way, not only can we recruit talents, but more importantly, more young people will see that the imperial examination is no longer a difficult road.
It's another day of rest.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came to the manor in a carriage.
"Gen'er, Your Majesty personally met with your father, and I deeply appreciate your suggestions, and I am very happy for my father, because you have made great contributions one after another, and your father will soon be promoted."
Li Shimin's words made the corners of Li Yuan's mouth twitch vigorously.
As for what Li Yuan felt in his heart, I'm afraid only he knew.
When Li heard this, he was naturally very happy, isn't what he did just so that his father could have a good future and this family could continue to prosper!
Li Zhi in the arms of Empress Changsun stretched out his hand when he saw Li Gen and let him hug him.
Li Zhi, who has been nine months old, has a very likable voice.
Looking at Li Gen hugging Li Zhi, the brothers looked happy.
Li Shimin was also very happy in his heart.
After all, this is a real brother.
Although they are not compatriots of the same mother, they are all his princes of Li Shimin!
After lunch, Li Shimin finally said the purpose of his trip.
"Gen'er, Your Majesty hopes that you can cultivate more talents for Datang."
"At present, the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks are all owned by my Datang, and talent is the most troublesome problem for Your Majesty today."
Li Gen had long thought that this day would come sooner or later.
"Father, now that Xuan Ce and Jun Mai can teach, it doesn't hurt to open a few more schools!"
Listening to Li Gen's words, Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"Gen'er, the two of them, don't they participate in this imperial examination?"
"Father, the child has already consulted them about their intentions, and they want to be by the child's side and learn for a few more years."
"Oh, in that case, I think it's feasible for the father!"
March 15th.
There was a drizzle in the sky.
However, the streets of Chang'an City are still full of pedestrians, and they are very lively.
Many candidates for the imperial examination have rushed to Chang'an City, and smart people have long expected that there will be a situation where it will be difficult to find a room.
Therefore, booking an inn in advance is also conducive to your imperial examination.
In this drizzle, two horses galloped in from the Golden Light Gate.
"Good news, good news......"
"The Tuli dog thief and the Jieli dog thief were escorted to Chang'an City by the triumphant army, and they were less than ten miles away from Chang'an City at this time."
"Good news, good news, the army of the east and the army of the west have returned triumphantly, and the triumphant team is less than ten miles away from Chang'an City at this time."
Call!
The area around the West Market was boiling in an instant.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The deafening shouts and cheers resounded throughout Chang'an City.
Li Shimin and the hundred officials of the Xiande Hall instantly knew what was happening outside.
This is the triumphant army led by Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin, who have returned.
"Zhongqing, drive out of the palace with me!"
"On the day of the army's departure, I personally promised the soldiers that when they returned in triumph, I would lead hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet them!"
Li Shimin ordered Li Junxian to drive the Son of Heaven, and the eldest grandson Empress also came to the outside of the Xiande Palace.
The two horses arrived just in time to shoot their horses.
"Report, General Cheng and General Li, the Second Route Army converged in Fengzhou, and at this time escorted the Tuli dog thieves and Jieli dog thieves, less than ten miles away from Chang'an City."
"Okay, tell all the soldiers and soldiers, I and the civil and military officials, go and meet them."
Li Shimin's voice landed, and the two messengers answered, turned on their horses, and galloped away.
Li Junxian drove the Son of Heaven car, passing through the imperial city from the palace, and Du Junzhuo, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, led 500 Praetorian Guards to protect the Son of Heaven on both sides.
Because this time is different from the past, the army has returned in triumph, and you can imagine how excited the people will be.
The safety of His Majesty and the Empress always comes first.
The Son of Heaven drove out of the Suzaku Gate, which can be regarded as officially leaving the imperial city.
At this time, whether it is on Suzaku Street or Chang'an Avenue.
The people gathered more and more, and the news of the return of the triumphant army completely made the entire Chang'an City boil.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
I saw the Son of Heaven coming out of the Suzaku Gate.
The people cheered excitedly!
Li Shimin couldn't help but be excited.
The Praetorian Guards stopped the people who tried to get close to the Son of Heaven's car, and it wasn't they who tried to get closer, because the crowd was too crowded.
The Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials were able to go to Jinguangmen smoothly.
The people know that Your Majesty is leading hundreds of civil and military officials to welcome the triumphant army.
I don't know who roared, let's go home and get dry food and eggs, and also go to meet the triumphant soldiers!
Yes, this walk is four or five months, and the soldiers don't know how much they have suffered.
The people began to take action.
Now every family has surplus food, and it is no longer the era when there was no next meal after eating.
The Son of Heaven drove out of the Golden Light Gate and went all the way up to the northwest.
The spring breeze is blowing, and the drizzle is continuous!
The willow trees on both sides of the official road are already full of green.
Li Shimin, who is in a good mood, has no time to take care of this beautiful spring scene.
Take out the clairvoyance and look away.
Hey!
Cheng of the dog day bit Jin, and at this time he also held clairvoyance and looked here.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled a touch.
Because Cheng bit the gold, he put away his clairvoyance very neatly.
It seems that this guy has seen himself.
Hey!
Why are the two people in the iron cage so familiar?
The cloak was scattered, as if it was very pitiful.
Li Shimin looked carefully, and it turned out to be Tuli and Jieli, two Turkic khans.
Li Shimin smiled, very happily.
Two and a half years ago, you two led 200,000 cavalry to my Chang'an City.
Did you ever think there would be today?
"Jun Xian, speed up!"
Li Shimin gave an order, and Li Junxian waved his horsewhip.
Six horses galloped on the official road.
The Son of Heaven drove six.
Once the six horses galloped, the speed was still considerable.
The drizzle wet the ground, just enough to prevent the dust from flying on the official road.
Soon, the fluttering Tang-character military flag, waving in the wind, appeared in front of Li Shimin and hundreds of civil and military officials.
Li Junxian grabbed the reins of the horse.
Six horses come to a halt!
Empress Changsun grabbed Li Shimin's arm, and the two got off the Son of Heaven's car together.
"The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"
"I've come to meet you......"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The army that returned in triumph let out a cry that resounded through the sky.
"Soldiers, you are heroes, heroes of the entire Tang Dynasty!"
"I will remember your merits, and the people of Datang will always remember your merits!"
"Your name is destined to be admired for generations to come!"
I have to say that Li Shimin's verbal work is absolutely superb.
With a few words, the triumphant army, many soldiers, burst into tears of excitement.
All the hard work is worth it, all the hard work is worth it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The deafening cry resounded in the sky again.
"Soldiers, I will not let your blood be shed in vain, and I will never let the soldiers who paid for it pay for it for the Tang Dynasty in vain and for this war!"
"I, on the day of your expedition, I have prepared a celebration wine!"
"After the celebration banquet, all the soldiers will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds."
"But for those who are killed or seriously wounded, I declare that the reward will be doubled, and if there is an elderly person in the family who needs to be supported, and whose wife and children are lonely, the reward will ......be doubled."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Many of the soldiers wept.
These bloody, sweaty and hard-beaten Tang soldiers burst into tears one by one at this time.
In every war, someone is destined to die on the battlefield.
Even in this battle, they had an overwhelming advantage, and it was still difficult to avoid casualties.
Moreover, His Majesty treated the families of the casualties so kindly, so that all the soldiers were completely moved.
"Pharmacist, Zhijie. Bring those two prisoners to me. ”
Li Shimin has upgraded Tuli and Jieli to the level of human criminals, which shows how much these two people are hated by Li Shimin.
Tuli Khan and Jieli Khan, who were escorted by Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin's personal soldiers, to a distance of ten steps away from Li Shimin.
"It's okay, let them get closer to me, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much!"
Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan knelt directly.
"Heavenly Khan, Heavenly Khan......"
"You have a large number of adults, just give the two of us a way to live, and we will definitely help Tian Khan and manage the tribes on the grassland."
To this day, Jieli and Tuli are still fantasizing about starting over.
If Li Shimin hadn't heard Li Gen's words, maybe it would have been possible to give them a way out, but now? Nothing is possible.
"Oh, the day Khan......"
"Sounds good, I really like to be this Khan."
Li Shimin's words made Tuli and Jieli see hope and vitality.
"Tian Khan, you are the only master in the world, and we are willing to obey the dispatch of Tian Khan."
"Hahahaha, Jieli, Tuli. How did you treat me two years ago? ”
"200,000 Turkic cavalry, soldiers are coming to my Chang'an City, could it be that I asked you to come?"
Every time Li Shimin thinks of this, he can't wait to break Jieli and Tuli into pieces.
"Tian Khan, at that time, we heard that Tian Khan, who had first ascended to the throne, came to Chang'an City to congratulate Tian Khan on his ascension to the throne and emperor."
Some people, when their lives are at stake, can give up all their dignity, and the current Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan are the most vivid examples.
In order to survive, it has reached such a shameless point.
made Li Shimin blush when he heard this.
"Li Shimin looked coldly, the unkempt two Turkic khans, two years ago they let themselves behead a white horse on the bank of the Weishui River, and signed a treaty that made them feel humiliated."
However, even so, they still did not abide by the agreement, raided the Longyou salt field, and plundered the people of Biansai.
"Jieli, Tuli. It's not that I don't give you a chance, it's that you don't know how to cherish the opportunity! ”
"Raiding my Longyou salt works, causing the northern salt road to be interrupted, plundering the people of my border area, and making the people of my border area miserable, these are all good things you have done."
"I'll give you a chance!"
"But, if you ask the soldiers of Datang, do they agree?"
"Promise?"
"No, no, no."
Li Shimin's voice landed, and the triumphant army, including the Praetorian Guards who followed Li Shimin, shouted in unison.
"I'm a million people in Datang, will they agree?"
Li Shimin didn't expect that a deafening shout suddenly remembered behind him.
"No, no, no."
Li Shimin turned his head and looked, and the entire official road was full of people on both sides.
The people all carried bamboo baskets in their hands, presumably to bring food to the triumphant army.
The Jieli Khan and the Tuli Khan were completely panicked.
They never expected that the two of them had reached the point of common anger in the hearts of the Datang military and civilians.
"Jieli, Tuli. You have heard it and you have seen it. ”
"It's not that I don't give you a chance, it's that the Tang Iron Army and the people can't forget the harm you have brought to the Tang Dynasty."
"You wait for the two, you are not worthy of setting foot in my Chang'an City, come here, take it down!"
When Li Shimin's voice landed, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan trembled.
Naturally, they understood what they meant.
"Tian Khan, spare your life, Tian Khan, spare your life......"
As soon as Li Shimin waved his hand, several soldiers who escorted Jieli and Tuli immediately dragged the two to the side of the official road like a dead dog.
Pick up the horizontal knife in your hand.
aimed at the heads of the two, and cut them off directly.
Puff, puff......
The two Turkic khans who were once powerful have completely bid farewell to the world.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The army and the people raised their arms and shouted in unison.
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun boarded the Son of Heaven's car.
led the civil and military officials and began to return to Chang'an City.
The Triumphant Army followed.
It was warmly welcomed by the people.
Baskets of steamed cakes and hard-boiled eggs were delivered to the soldiers by the people.
Tears of excitement and joy shone in everyone's eyes.
Stepping into Jinguangmen, the shops around the West Market, all the shops selling food, all the people snapped up them.
They want to give the food to the heroes who have returned triumphantly.
………
Tai Chi Palace.
The triumphant army gathered on the Avenue of the Palace.
There is no way there are too many people, no matter which palace it is, it is impossible to accommodate such a large population.
Li Shimin and the civil and military officials all picked up the wine bottles.
Drink celebration wine with the soldiers!
Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin respectively reported to Li Shimin their respective conditions and results in this battle.
"Your Majesty, my attack on the Eastern Turks this time is really a pleasure!"
Cheng bit Jin Meizi and drank a bottle of wine, put down the wine bottle and began to talk in the vernacular.
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Army has arrived at the border of the Eastern Turks, good fellow, look up, everything is covered with snow, and the snow can fucking bury people......"
"I took 5,000 pioneers, stepped on skis, and went all the way to the lair of the Turki dog thief."
"I raised my clairvoyance, looked closely, and found that the Turks of this dog's day had all fucking gotten into the tent and couldn't come out."
"Even the entrance to their tent was blocked by snow."
"Isn't this a fucking head?"
"I sent a few personal soldiers to immediately tell the rear brigade to start cleaning all the tents and ......
"Later, the Turks found something, but they were all cavalry, they were all waste, and the horses couldn't walk, let alone fight on horseback."
"We are on our skis, all of us are flying on the snow, fighting Turkic dog thieves, that is a crying father and mother......"
"My mother has fought a battle all her life, and this battle is the most interesting, like his mother's hide-and-seek......"
Cheng Biting Jin's words provoked Li Shimin and the civil and military officials to laugh out loud.
Compared with Cheng Biting Jin, Li Jing is much more serious.
Li Jing reported and first affirmed the huge role played by clairing and snowboards in this battle.
Only then did the army of the Western Expedition go all at once, capture Jieli Khan, and achieve a complete victory.
"Zhijie, pharmacist. What were the casualties of the army in this battle? ”
Li Shimin asked the question he was most concerned about.
Cheng Yanjin and Li Jing each submitted a list of casualties.
Li Shimin took it and looked at it, and his eyes widened instantly.
"Zhijie, pharmacist. You two didn't hide it and didn't report it? ”
Because the list of casualties of the army was significantly lower than Li Shimin's expectations.
"Your Majesty, the ministers dare not hide it and not report it, the soldiers threw their heads and spilled their blood, how could the ministers chill the hearts of the soldiers."
Li Shimin nodded solemnly, glanced at the triumphant army who were raising their glasses and drinking, and said suspiciously.
"Zhijie, pharmacist, this number is obviously wrong!"
Cheng Yanjin and Li Jing understood that Your Majesty saw the triumphant army, and the number of people who returned was wrong.
"Your Majesty, according to your will, the ministers will each leave 10,000 troops to guard the Eastern and Western Turks."
"Many seized weapons, war horses, cattle and sheep, gold and silver treasures and other materials will be escorted back to Chang'an City by the army in three days."
When Li Shimin heard this, he instantly became happy.
"Good, very good! I am very relieved, I am very relieved! ”
"Come on, the list of soldiers on this list, each of them will be sent to their respective homes for ten yuan first, and I will have a reward after the seized materials arrive."
"By the way, ask them what difficulties they have at home, and this matter will be handled by the Ministry of War."
After the celebration banquet, Li Shimin also knew that all the soldiers were homesick.
Now, it has been nearly half a year since they left Chang'an City.
If you have a wife at home, you can't hold back your screams.
"Zhijie, pharmacist, let all the soldiers go home and reunite first!"
"Tomorrow morning, we will start to reward meritorious deeds!"
Cheng Biting Jin and Li Jing, they stood up respectfully and saluted.
Cheng Biting Jin misses his wife Sun, and Li Jing misses the red whisk girl even more!
"Ma'am, I'm back......"
Cheng Biting Jin brought sparks and lightning all the way, left the palace, and went straight to Chengfu.
"Dad, you're back."
Chu Mo and Chu Liang walked out of the room happily.
"Where's your mother?"
"Dad, my mother is bathing."
After listening to Chu Mo's words, Cheng Yanjin called it a beautiful thing in his heart.
Bath?
Hehe, it's still Mrs. who knows me best!
"You two, hurry up and go to the manor and tell Lantian Hou that Lao Tzu wants to eat meat, the fattest kind, but Lao Tzu is about to die of hunger."
"Hey, Dad, don't worry, I promise to go back quickly!"
Cheng Chumo's voice landed, and his head was directly slapped by Cheng Jin.
"Dog's day, come back after lunch, I've been hungry for so long, and it's still a little bit away?"
Watching Chu Mo and Chu Liang leave, Cheng Yanjin went straight to the room.
The Sun family naturally heard it a long time ago, and Lao Cheng scolded the two sons outside.
Hearing the sound of footsteps like an earthquake outside, Sun knew that it was Lao Cheng who was coming in.
So he hurriedly asked the two maids who served him to step down.
Get up and start wiping yourself.
"Tsk...... It's so fragrant......"
Cheng Yanjin smelled a scent of flowers, and couldn't help but sniffle hard.
"Master, these are all precious objects sent by the Marquis of Lantian, and the concubine is reluctant to use them on weekdays......"
"Hey, that's just waiting for the old man, and I'll use it when I come back......"
"Madam, hurry up, let me smell ...... well"
Cheng Yanjin picked up Sun and threw him on the bed.
As the saying goes, a little don't win a newlywed!
But this isn't a fucking farewell!
Cheng bites the gold, and his waist is about to go wrong.
………
Call......
But at tea time, Cheng Biting Jin gasped for breath.
No problem, failure is the mother of success!
Cheng bit the gold and continued to work hard.
…………
Li Jing's mansion also has a unique scenery at the head of the bed.
The Red Whisk Girl and Li Jing fell in love at first sight, but goodbye is not good.
Although there is a difference in age between the two, they can't stand Li Jing's body.
When we meet again after a long absence, it is naturally you and me.
"Brother Chu Mo, Brother Chu Liang, you two are here again?"
Wu Cao's word is used well!
made Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang quite embarrassed.
Also, the two of them came over to eat twice in three days, and they were a little embarrassed.
"Wu Cao, this time my father asked us to come."
Cheng Chumo scratched his head embarrassedly and said.
"Well, General Cheng has returned from a great victory, and Wu Cao has heard the cheers of Chang'an City."
"The division commander has already ordered to go down, just slaughtered a pig, the division commander said, give Uncle Cheng a relief!"
When the Cheng Chumo brothers heard this, their eyes instantly lit up with golden light.
A pig, that's a pig, enough for them to feast on for a while.
"Brother Chu Mo, Chu Liang, you two are here."
Li Gen finished his lecture and returned from the academy.
"Commander, it's not the two of them who want to come, it's Uncle Cheng who asked them to come."
Wu Cao continued to add oil and vinegar to the side.
Let Cheng Chuliang and the brothers be speechless.
