In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin sat on the top seat casually, his demeanor was quite lazy, Luo Xuanye straightened his back, and talked without a match, Fang Xuanling looked at the twists and turns in the state and county opposite Luo Xuanye, and several people were also lying crookedly.

Li Shimin is quite informal, and these courtiers are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends, and it is too rare for a king like him to take such pains to beat the heroes and want to preserve the wealth of the heroes from the bottom of his heart.

Wei Zheng is certainly not here.

Although he is one of the most important courtiers of Zhenguan, his relationship with Li Shimin is not so close, and he cannot be compared with Luo Xuanye and Fang Xuanling, and even Luo Xuanchen is not here, this is a gathering of the old people of the Qin Palace.

Although it has always been said that people are meritocracy, Li Shimin's character still has special care for his old brothers.

While watching the recital, he casually asked Luo Xuanye, "Qingyang, how is the condition of the right servant?" ”

Li Shimin's heroes are generally more than ten years or even twenty years older than him, so now he is basically in his forties, and his health is very bad, and the right servant is Du Ruhui, who has been bedridden for more than two months, which makes Li Shimin feel that it is very difficult to deal with the government, and he hopes that Du Ruhui can come back as soon as possible.

Luo Xuanye pursed his lips when he heard this, he and Du Ruhui have been friends for more than ten years, not to talk about how deep their feelings are, but they are also old friends, even if they have always been cold-faced, they said with a little sentimentality at this moment: "When I went to see him a few days ago, my state was not very good, but now that the cold winter has passed, I hope that the warm spring can make the right servant shoot recover." ”

As he was talking, without waiting for Li Shimin to reply, the eunuch who hurriedly walked in outside walked in with Li Jing's battle report, and the battle report that should have been sealed was not sealed with wax, Li Shimin and Luo Xuanye glanced at each other, and immediately knew that this battle report was extraordinary.

Luo Xuanye, who knew Li Shimin too well, immediately said: "The minister bets that the Winter Turks will be defeated, and my Tang Dynasty will win, no, it should be an unprecedented victory, and the Winter Turks are extremely likely to be gone." ”

Li Shimin pretended to glare, "Qingyang, you change a bet, I bet on this, Xuan Ling, you also bet, just bet a penny." ”

The dignified son of heaven was blatantly cheating, and suddenly there was a sound of laughter in the hall, Li Shimin didn't care, "Even if you all can't gamble, the right servant shoots is not there, and it will be counted for him, Qingyang, after you leave the palace, go and tell the right servant to shoot, let him recover as soon as possible, and pay me back." ”

There was another burst of laughter in the hall, Li Shimin was also full of smiles, and took out the battle report, and at this time, another eunuch hurriedly ran into the hall, with a hasty expression on his face, and knelt in the hall as soon as he entered the hall, and said in a lamented voice: "Your Majesty, the right servant has died, and an obituary has just been sent from the house." ”

From laughter to silence, all it takes is one sentence.

From a smile to disbelief, it only takes one sentence.

Luo Xuanye looked at Li Shimin with some worry, Li Shimin clenched the bamboo tube in his hand tightly, his muscles burst out, and his eyes were already full of tears, he recalled Du Ruhui's voice and smile, as well as the countless scenes of giving advice to himself before and after the saddle, he became more and more sad, his voice was a little hoarse, and said slowly: "I didn't win a big win in my bet, leave the chance to win a big win in my bet to the right servant." ”

After opening the battle report, after reading it, it was obviously a great joy, but he didn't have a happy look, he looked at the people in the hall, and everyone also looked at him, he smiled with tears: "The right servant won the shooting, I lost." Qingyang, after leaving the palace, send a penny to Du Mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, he couldn't control it anymore, tears flowed down, Fang Xuanling came back to his senses from his stunned appearance, and whimpered softly, and everyone in the hall was sad.

Luo Xuanye looked at Li Shimin worriedly, and suddenly realized, how many times will Li Shimin experience such a thing in the future?

Almost every one of these heroes is older than his age.

The people, the people.

Don't you understand the truth that amorous people don't live long?

"Your Majesty."

"The right servant shot at the spirit of heaven and saw His Majesty sentimental, I'm afraid I want to persuade Your Majesty, please take care of your body."

Li Shimin stood up a little shaky, walked to the hall, stopped talking, and finally said with tears in his eyes: "Emperor Tiansu, why did you take away Ruhui so quickly?" ”

Luo Xuanye sighed and said, "Please mourn Your Majesty!" ”

"Please mourn Your Majesty!"

Several voices sounded in the hall, and Li Shimin's figure was a little gloomy, probably he also thought of the doomed ending.

"I will mourn, Xuan Ling, I want to posthumously give Ru Hui the position of the Three Princes, posthumously give the title of the Great Prince, choose the best nickname within the scope of ability, this matter will be handed over to you, you are his best friend, this matter will be handed over to you, I can rest assured.

I don't worry. ”

Fang Xuanling knelt on the ground and sobbed: "The minister obeys the order, the minister obeys the order." ”

……

When the news of Li Jing's victory reached the Lingtian Pavilion, Luo Su was watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard, the climate had entered a warm spring, everything was recovering, what Luo Su had been waiting for.

Here it comes.

Luo Juncheng stood beside Luo Su, bowed slightly and waited for Luo Su to speak, and after Luo Su finished reading, he asked, "Isn't the Son of Heaven coming?" ”

Luo Juncheng was about to speak, when he heard a hearty voice, Li Shimin and Luo Xuanye came together, "Of course I will come to visit the national teacher." ”

Luo Su stretched out his hand to the stone table in the courtyard and smiled, "Son of Heaven, please." ”

After Li Shimin sat down directly, Luo Su sat opposite Li Shimin, looking at the high-spirited Son of Heaven in front of him, it was really weather, the weather of the prosperous era.

Li Shimin asked with some joy: "Can the national teacher read the battle report?" ”

Luo Su chuckled and said: "Look, Li Jing is really a first-class god of war, not weaker than any ancient famous general, and even victorious."

Datang was able to eradicate the Winter Turks so quickly, to be honest, it was a bit unexpected to me. ”

Li Shimin immediately burst out laughing when he heard this, and being able to make Duke Wen say these four words unexpectedly is the greatest compliment for Li Shimin.

Luo Su praised Li Jing, this sentence is not ordinary.

In fact, this battle can be neatly and neatly to such an extent, and Li Jing's role in it accounts for fifty percent, and the most important thing is that the cost is extremely low.

The Sixth Route Army, the army that really fights, will not exceed 10,000 people, whether it is the number of soldiers killed in battle, or the resources consumed are very small, and the war will end in just a few months, and in the Central Plains, any offensive and defensive battle will exceed this time.

After a battle, Datang not only eradicated the biggest threat from the north, but also did not lose at all, capturing countless cattle and sheep.

Li Shimin was very happy, Luo Su could naturally see it, he looked at Li Shimin with a smile, and said deliberately: "The imperial temple that I talked to you about before can probably start to be built, I think you have enough confidence to build a temple for the emperors of the past dynasties." ”

Li Shimin was suddenly awe-inspiring, he built temples for the emperors of previous dynasties, and the emperors who naturally built temples couldn't be too bad, otherwise they couldn't get in, wouldn't it be a joke?

As for forcing it inside, then now when Li Shimin is repairing history, can he set things right, won't the future kings be able to set things right?

As for the generations, any sane emperor knows that it is impossible, so he can only delay it as much as possible and let the country last forever.

Putting aside the idea of building the Imperial Temple for the time being, Li Shimin put away his smile and asked in a deep voice: "National Teacher, you said before, after the Tang Dynasty defeated the Winter Turks, you have a lot to say to me, now is the time, I can't wait to listen, and ask the National Teacher to speak." ”

Hearing Li Shimin's question, Luo Su gradually put away the smile on his face, straightened up, and a solemn emotion was revealed in the courtyard, and Li Shimin couldn't help but sit up straighter, this was the first time he had seen Luo Su like this.

Luo Su groaned, since the chaos was rectified, this was the first time he really proposed his design plan to Datang, and he wanted to find a good incision to tell Li Shimin.

"Before I do that, I'm going to ask you a few questions."

"Please also ask the national teacher to speak."

Luo Su threw out the first question, "What does the Son of Heaven think of Gui Zhuxia and Yidi?" ”

Hiss.

Li Shimin didn't expect the first question to be so sharp, he wanted to speak as soon as he opened his mouth, who was the person in front of him?

It's Luo's, it's Wen Gong.

Wen Gong's attitude probably doesn't need to be said at all, so what about his own opinion?

Li Shimin hesitated for a while and then said slowly: "Your Xia is cheap and Yidi, which is true to the principles of nature, but I think that Yidi is not all undesirable, and there are many loyal and righteous people among them. ”

Li Shimin's idea is to separate separate people and tribes, and he thinks that Yidi can be edified, he has this idea for a long time, from the beginning of the Yan State, it is customary to use Hu generals as the commander of the forbidden army, and he is deeply affected by this.

Gui Zhuxia is right, then I can turn Yidi into Zhuxia.

Before, your Luo Xuanxing of the Luo clan didn't send the Zhuxia identity certificate to the eighteen Hu people of Liaodong Kingdom in Youzhou, and now the Liaodong part is inseparable, and because of this, this proves that this method is correct.

Luo Su naturally saw what Li Shimin was thinking, and he smiled slightly: "The Son of Heaven doesn't have to figure it out like this, time changes, and I, Luo, am not immutable to carry out those ancient things."

At the beginning, Zhuxia and Yidi were endless, but now they can neither completely annihilate Yidi, nor do they need to annihilate, and their attitudes will naturally change.

The Son of Heaven has this idea of being alone, which is very good, and your idea is just right for my next plan.

The surrounding environment faced by the Tang Dynasty is quite complex, and it can even be said that it is much more complex than that of the Han Dynasty, not only with strong enemies in the north, but also in the southeast and northwest.

In this case, if Datang is asked to frequently send troops to conquer Siyi, are you willing? ”

Li Shimin shook his head decisively and said in a deep voice: "Frequent dispatch of troops will ruin the vitality that Datang has finally recovered."

The soldiers of Zhichong Mansion cannot fight outside for a long time, and they have to go back to farming.

It is absolutely undesirable to use military force, as long as those barbarians do not come to invade the Central Plains and do not pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty, then I will not do anything to them.

I will not let the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty in those wilderness in vain, shed blood, die in a foreign land, under the sun, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can live, not die, this is what the king should do.

Although Jieli Khan has not yet been escorted to Chang'an, I have decided to forgive him, not to kill him, and to show my benevolence to the Quartet.

In order to win the hearts of the Turks, if there is an opportunity in the future, I can also use the Turkic Khan to intervene in the steppe, I will not be like my father, only know killing, as long as it can be solved by means of war, I will not use war as a last resort.

Fight with caution!

That's what I've always done. ”

When he said these words, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Emperor Yang of Sui, and he was even more frightened, the shadow caused by Emperor Yang of Sui to Li Shimin was too great.

Let him, a king who established a country by force, have an extremely cautious attitude towards war, otherwise as early as the first year of Zhenguan, when the Turks encountered a natural disaster for the first time, he would have sent troops, where would he wait for another two or three years, and wait until everything was ready.

Luo Su looked at Li Shimin and couldn't help but sigh again, it's really perfect.

Li Shimin is really the most perfect person he knows, outside of Luo's.

Li Shimin reminded Luo Su of King Zhou Li again, when Luo Su advised King Zhou Li not to easily use the six armies of the Son of Heaven to fight, but King Zhou Li did not listen.

And now, he heard Li Shimin's strategic thinking with his own ears, and said with emotion: "Only by using war cautiously can the effect of war be maximized, if King Zhou Li could be like you back then, there would not be the defeat of the Southern Expedition, he would not have died in Hanshui, and he would not have been infamous through the ages." ”

Hearing King Zhou Li, Li Shimin turned his head and glanced at Luo Xuanye, after getting along all these years, Luo Su said that the number of times King Zhou Li was far more than King Zhou Zhao, and in Luo Su's life, King Zhou Li occupied a position that was even heavier than King Zhou Zhao.

To some extent, King Zhou Li is the only one who can force Luo Su away, he is really too bearish, and the bear is so brainless.

After asking two questions in a row, Luo Su finally said a very critical point in his idea, "I heard that the Hu tribes in the Quartet have all sent people to meet you, and those tribes that surrendered to the Winter Turks are now coming to Chang'an. ”

Li Shimin nodded with some pride and said: "The reason why he was able to defeat the Dong Turks and defeat Jieli so smoothly is that Li Jing has certainly made great contributions, but in recent years, he has also contributed to the differentiation of the Hu tribes under the command of the Turks.

The Turkic little Khan of Turks has already declared himself a vassal to our Tang Dynasty, which is a momentum that has not been seen for many years.

The Khan of Xue Yantuo was canonized by me.

As for the Tiele, Hui and other grassland tribes, they are now on their way to Chang'an, and it is said that hundreds of tribes, large and small, have sent envoys to Chang'an.

Most of these people saw that the Winter Turks were defeated by our Datang and were deeply afraid of my Datang, so they sent people here. ”

Luo Su continued: "These people are deeply disturbed by the defeat of the Winter Turks by the Tang Dynasty, but they will soon fall to another powerful force that will take over the Winter Turks because of the rise of another powerful tribe.

These tribes are so far away from the Tang Dynasty, but so close to the grassland forces that will inevitably rise in the future, so what choice they will make in the end is doomed.

The war of the Tang Dynasty never ended. ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, Luo Su's merciless words pierced his vision for the future, and after defeating the Winter Turks, Li Shimin had no plans to do anything externally for the time being.

Because whether it is Liaodong or the Western Regions, there is no threat to the Central Plains at present.

Li Shimin was actually not a king who was keen on expanding his territory, and he acted against the Winter Turks because the Winter Turks were too threatening to the Central Plains, and they approached Chang'an three times and twice.

It's too dangerous!

After destroying the Winter Turks and removing the border threat of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was not ready to fight abroad, but was determined to engage in cultural governance and achieve the prosperity of the rule of filial piety.

But now it sounds like this is not the idea, because Wen Gong has always said that the war is never over.

Li Shimin believed in Duke Wen's judgment, so he looked at Luo Su with shining eyes and said, "Please speak up to Duke Wen." ”

Luo Su's finger tapped on the chessboard of the stone table, and then pointed a sunspot on Tian Yuan's position, "I just asked the Son of Heaven three questions about you, namely your attitude towards Yidi, your attitude towards war, and the attitude of the Quartet Barbarians towards the Central Plains.

The future war of Datang will not stop, this is inevitable.

The government soldier system of the Tang Dynasty is not suitable for long-term campaigns, which is also inevitable.

The battle can't be big, and the soldiers can't go out, and if you don't want to launch a big army every time, then there is only one way.

Implement the real elite soldier system, and the government soldiers are used to suppress the Central Plains, so they will keep the current way, and as for the government soldiers who go out to fight in the four provinces, they will select the elite, and they will not choose more each time, one or two thousand people.

One or twenty thousand people going out to fight will not delay domestic production, even if something happens, it will not affect the overall situation, these twenty thousand people, with the best armor and the best bow, once they have made a contribution, the privilege will be given.

The most important thing is that you need to find troops from somewhere else, and my advice is to recruit the Yidi servants, and even use them completely in some wars.

This requires you to have an identity that allows you to mobilize these Yidi legitimately. ”

If the princes did not accept it, the six armies of the Son of Heaven would conquer the princes, break through his cities, deprive him of his title, and abandon him in the wilderness, which is what Luo Su did at the beginning.

It's still the same thing.

The princes are the princes, the princes are the princes, and now the Yidi is the Yidi.

Li Shimin already vaguely knew this identity, but he still asked, "What identity?" ”

Luo Su smiled and said, "Of course it's the Khan, are you willing to become the Khan of the Hu people?" ”

Li Shimin was silent.

Khan.

This title crowned his head, giving him a bit of a trance, defeating the Winter Turks, he could certainly replace Jieli as the new Khan, the Khan of the entire steppe.

But.

Li Shimin asked, "Duke Wen, can just one khan let me control the grassland?" I'm afraid not. ”

Luo Su chuckled, "Of course not, becoming a khan is only the first step, and the next step is ......"

As he spoke, Luo Su placed a few white chess pieces on the chessboard, surrounded the sunspot placed in Tian Yuan, and then changed the position.

The more Li Shimin listened, the brighter his eyes became, he nodded frequently, his face was full of comfort, he even wanted to sing and dance directly, until Luo Su finished speaking, he still felt unfinished, and he could feel that Luo Su did have reservations and never said everything.

When he asked again, Luo Su only said: "After this step is completed, if there is still strength left, you can move on to the next step, if you can't do this step, what's the use of thinking so much?" ”

Luo Su will pull a sense of anticipation, so Li Shimin can't help but want to know, then he can only work harder to do this now.

In the end, he could only sigh with emotion: "Gong Wen is really talented, I deeply respect it, when Jieli and the chiefs of the Quartet come, will Gong Wen make an appearance?" ”

Luo Su turned his gaze to the north and chuckled, "Go and see, since you have defeated the Winter Turks, it seems that you really have to do something this time." ”

……

After Li Shimin and Luo Xuanye left, Luo Su looked at Luo Juncheng and suddenly asked, "What kind of person is the prince?" ”

Luo Juncheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The prince is benevolent, also quite smart, and polite. ”

Luo Su asked again, "Are there any shortcomings?" ”

Luo Juncheng pondered: "The only drawback may be that his psychological tolerance is relatively poor, and sometimes he is more uncomfortable when his homework is heavier, and in addition, he has never seen other shortcomings." ”

Luo Su thought for a moment, "It seems that it is time to find time to meet these sons of the Son of Heaven." ”

Luo Juncheng was shocked when he heard this, although he didn't know what the ancestor was going to do, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

……

Li Shimin left the Lingtian Pavilion with great ambition, and he was already looking forward to the next prosperous scene of worship by all nations.

This time, it was not only the tribal vassals who were controlled by the Winter Turks who came to worship the Tang Dynasty.

Many countries from the Western Regions also came.

At its strongest, the Western Turks almost controlled the Western Regions, but after the previous khan was killed, there was a civil war in the country.

Now Gaochang in the east of the Western Regions, Khotan, Shule and other countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, in order to get rid of the control of the Western Turks, have all come to Datang and are ready to hug a new thigh.

……

The prisoner car escorting Jieli slowly walked into Chang'an, on both sides outside Chang'an City, it was already full of people, Luo Xuanling, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, was not there, and Luo Xuanye personally went into battle to preside over the security affairs in the field.

Li Shimin stood in front of 10,000 people in a full crown suit.

"Jieli!"

Li Shimin said in a loud voice without anger: "When you led the Turkic army to Datang, the scene at that time was very ugly, and today you came to Chang'an again, how peaceful, how peaceful, I like today's scene very much." ”

Jieli had disbelief and anger on his face, and he thought that Li Shimin was humiliating him.

Li Shimin said: "You are from a very noble background, with the foundation of your father and brother, you rule the vast land in the north and south of the desert, and countless powerful and courageous people, but why did you fall to today's point?"

Because I am a more powerful monarch than you, and the Tang Dynasty is a greater country than the Turks.

According to the customs of the grassland, I should have killed you, but I was unwilling to do so, because after you formed an alliance with me, there was no major intrusion, and you were able to slightly abide by some covenants, and the grace bestowed on you was the bearing of the Tang Dynasty.

I will forgive you now for your capital crimes, open the prison cart, and let the Khan out. ”

What does it mean to sit up in a dying fright, good news is rolling in, Jieli knows that the Central Plains has a tradition of killing prisoners in front of the temple to show the glory of martial arts, and he never expected that Li Shimin would let himself go.

He walked out of the prisoner car, first glanced at Li Shimin solemnly, then knelt on the ground, and said movingly: "Jieli, Your Majesty Emperor Xie Datang, the grace of not killing, I wish all the summer sons to rule all the subjects under the sky." ”

Li Shimin laughed loudly when he heard this: "Jieli, when you come to the Tang Dynasty, don't talk about the sky anymore, what my people of the Tang Dynasty worship is the Emperor Tiansu King, and I am the son of the Emperor, so I have this divine ability!" ”

Countless cheers and unisons resounded outside Chang'an City, and the clouds in the sky pierced a light, shining on Li Shimin's body, as if responding to his words, under the awe-inspiring light, Li Shimin's body seemed to be shrouded in divine mist, speckled spots, divine light, and higher cheers resounded.

Li Shimin enjoyed this historic moment, his eyes looked at the northern and western regions, and he thought back to what Luo Su said, "Come on, I can't wait." ”

……

In the depths of the palace is a palace, and when you walk in, you can feel the aura of the vicissitudes of life, and at night, you can even hear some whispering sounds, as if coming from the endless darkness.

The dim light penetrated through the slightly broken window, and sprinkled weakly on the mottled ground, reflecting the traces of a person, like a yellowed picture.

The master here used to be the supreme of the empire, but now on the pillars of the hall, the surface of the beasts and auspicious clouds have gradually disappeared, leaving only some faintly recognizable patterns, in some corners of the uninhabited people, there are dust accumulation, and even cobwebs.

Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning pushed the door and walked in, accompanied by a squeaky sound, a smell of dampness and rotten wood came to their faces, Li Xiuning suddenly frowned and said angrily: "Don't these palace people open the windows on weekdays?" ”

Luo Xuanye also frowned slightly, but did not speak.

The two finally met Li Yuan again, and they came to deliver the news.

The news of the defeat of the Winter Turks and the capture of Jieli finally reached Li Yuan's ears.

Li Yuan was now completely old, his face was full of wrinkles and spots, and a heavy twilight shrouded him, he was an old man who was about to die, not a former imperial supreme.

When he heard what Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning said, he instantly fell into a trance.

Winter Turks.

In his memory, it was a powerful enemy who needed to be bowed down to by the Tang Dynasty, and just having a relationship with the Winter Turks gave him a headache.

And now that Li Shimin has only been the emperor of the Tang Dynasty for four years, he has solved this incredibly powerful enemy, how can Li Yuan not be in a trance?

It turns out that I am really so much worse than Jiro?

Turns out I'm really inferior to Jiro?

In Li Yuan's old heart, there was such a thought, over the years, he had thought about it many times, and each time the conclusion was the same, that is, he should really let Erlang be the emperor.

Li Xiuning said softly: "Father, Your Majesty asked us to invite you to the celebration banquet, the envoys of all countries will come to Chang'an to congratulate the brilliant victory of the Tang Dynasty, he wants to let the father feel the happiness together, the Tang Dynasty was established by you, and now the glory of the Tang Dynasty, you should take a good look." ”

Li Yuan fumbled with his hand on the bed, and kept saying, "Yes, you should go to the celebration banquet, go to Erlang's celebration banquet." ”

Luo Xuanye clapped his hands, the palace people who walked in from outside the door, holding the crown clothes of the Emperor Taishang in their hands, Luo Xuanye and Li Xiuning withdrew from the hall and waited quietly for Li Yuan to change his clothes.

Li Xiuning suddenly asked, "Husband, do you say that my father and His Majesty can reconcile?" ”

This has always been a piece of her heart, the father and son are still awkward with each other until now, Li Shimin is reckless to prove his excellence, and Li Yuan will always be in the shadow of Xuanwumen that day, unable to break free.

Luo Xuanye thought for a while and sighed and said: "I don't know, but my father will definitely feel pleased with His Majesty's achievements, His Majesty is willing to see his father, this is already a very big progress, maybe this time it is the intention of reconciliation." ”

……

In the Taiji Hall, a bright and sacred light, the dazzling sunlight tried its best to shine through, shining in the hall, like countless golden silk threads, woven into a flowing picture, the wooden planks and stone slabs paved in the hall are shining.

The important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the chieftain envoys from Fanbang, sat under the pillars in order, and almost every pillar of the Rui beasts and auspicious birds were carved lifelike, delicate and gorgeous, smeared with colored paints, and under the sunlight, it was more solemn and gorgeous.

Li Shimin sat on the throne at the top, and there was a totem symbolizing the four directions of heaven and earth on the chair behind him.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The eunuch's slightly harsh voice came from outside the hall, and the noisy voices in the hall suddenly quieted down a little, although the emperor lost his power, but who dared to really despise it?

Li Shimin stood up from the throne and looked straight out of the door, there was no expression on his face, what was he thinking?

Nobody knows.

But everyone knew that it must have been a complicated expression.

Li Yuan appeared in front of the door of the palace, Li Xiuning and Luo Xuanye supported him left and right, he cautiously stepped over the threshold, and then looked up, among the crowd, he saw his son at a glance, his best son.

The posture of the dragon and phoenix, the watch of the sun, the year will be twenty, and it will be able to help the world and the people!

Now he really helps the world and the people, and even far exceeds the people of the world, his excellence makes Li Yuan a little unbelievable, from Li Shimin, he sees the shadow of the ancient holy king in those books.

The ministers in the palace all hung their heads slightly, and it was best not to speak between the father and son, and not to have anything to be curious about, because the feelings between the father and son must be extremely complicated now.

Li Shimin walked down step by step from the top, he felt that every step seemed to be a thousand pounds, and he almost couldn't pull out his legs, but he still walked in front of Li Yuan step by step.

Looking at the wrinkled old man in front of him, this old man who was already extremely old, Li Shimin had countless thoughts in his mind, he recalled the scene when he was young, Li Yuan taught him and loved him, and he recalled that after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan gave up and abandoned him again and again, how much he loved Li Yuan, how much he hated.

Father, do you regret seeing the fruits of my reign now?

We shouldn't have gotten to that point, I'm your best son, and it's indisputable now.

He didn't say that, he just stretched out his hand to Li Yuan, just like every son does to his father, "Father, my son will take you to the top, this is the celebration banquet of the Tang Dynasty, this is also your celebration banquet." ”

Li Yuan put his hand in Li Shimin's hand, Li Shimin's hand was very powerful, Li Yuan thought wildly, it is such a powerful hand that can create such a feat.

Li Shimin and Li Yuan walked to the highest throne step by step, Li Xiuning and Luo Xuanye glanced at each other, and then walked to the double seat with the first hand on the left hand and sat down.

After the father and son sat down, a tsunami-like voice suddenly erupted in the hall, "Long live the emperor, long live!" ”

How long has it been since Li Yuan heard such a voice?

He couldn't remember exactly, but there had been many times in his midnight dreams of such a scene now, and now it appeared in front of him.

It was a celebration feast.

Whose feast is it?

The celebration banquet of the Tang Dynasty is also the celebration banquet of many countries that are unwilling to submit to the Winter Turks, and the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty sit on both sides of the hall, and those envoys from Fanbang have come to the center of the hall.

These envoys of Fanbang were even directly the khans and even the kings, who presented gifts to Li Shimin one by one and knelt at Li Shimin's feet to express complete submission.

Before everyone, it was Jieli, who had just been captured, not only was he not killed, but he was also knighted by Li Shimin, which made the chiefs of Zhongyi Di feel the difference between Li Shimin and those Central Plains emperors in the past.

Xue Yantuo's True Pearl Khan and the Turkic Little Khan Tuli, the two walked out of the crowd, stood in the center of the main hall, and said aloud to everyone: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in the ancient Central Plains, a great monarch like you is the son of heaven.

In our steppe, the greatest king is also beloved by heaven.

In the Western Regions, the Emperor is also the only high heaven.

Your unification of the Central Plains and the grasslands, and the admiration of the Western Regions, is an unprecedented achievement, and we all deeply respect and surrender to you.

Sky!

This is the most noble word in the world.

In order to express our admiration for you, we would like to present you with an unprecedented honorific title -

Day Khan!

The supreme khan beloved by the Emperor.

You will be the master of all the steppe people, you will be the king of all the steppe people, under the sky, as great as the sun and the moon. ”

The envoy from Khotan in the Western Regions stood up and said: "O great prince of summer, great heavenly khan, according to legend, you are the one who has been blessed by the emperor Tiansu, we revere you as if we revere the high priest, and we surrender to you as if we are surrendering to the supreme Heavenly Lord and the Great Heavenly Venerable!" ”

Day Khan!

As Tuli and Zhenzhu said, the word "Tian" is too extraordinary for Zhu Xia, how can he refuse the title of Tian Khan?

Li Yuan looked at those people in a daze, and his ears couldn't help echoing the title of Tian Khan.

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "I am the lord of the world, I should protect the lives of all people in the world, play music, dance, and all the kings will enter the palace and be happy!" ”

"Long live the heavenly khan of the steppe!"
