In the Taiji Palace, Ashina Gu Dulu stood on the right side of the ministers, among the countless Turkic chieftains.

His gaze was forward, and the high couch was empty.

Under the royal couch, under the two steps, stood the young King Li Xian and the Prime King Li Dan.

Ashina Gu Dulu's gaze swept over the bodies of countless Prime Minister Shang Shu, and fell directly on the generals on the left.

The first person in the first row on the left.

General of the Left Guard, Xue Rengui, Duke of Pingyang County.

Ashina Gu Dulu could hear the heavy breathing of countless people around him, and none of them knew that this devil had also returned to Chang'an.

In the past few days, the Turks have tried to get as much news as possible about Chang'an, thinking that they already know a lot about the Tang Dynasty.

Who knows, Xue Rengui actually returned to Beijing.

On Xue Rengui's side, stood Xiao Siye, the general of the Left Guard, and two generals of the Left Guard.

Li Xuan stood in the second row on the left, behind Xue Rengui.

This was originally the location of the Great General of the Right Guard.

Because the general of the right guard is vacant now, Li Xuan is the king of the county and the general of the right guard of the school, standing here.

After that, there was Fang Xianzhong, the general of the left Jin Wuwei, Xue Guwu, the general of the right Jin Wuwei, Wang Jishan, the general of the left Qianniuwei, and the general of the right Qianniuwei......

Countless arrogant soldiers stood on one side, with a ferocious momentum.

The external envoys in the rear watched this scene, and their breathing couldn't help but be much lighter.

At this moment, Li Xuan's eyes were slightly to the side, as if he noticed Ashina Gu Dulu's peeping, and was about to turn his head.

At this time, a shout came from the door of the Taiji Hall: "The saint has arrived." ”

Li Xuan immediately held the ivory wat in both hands and bowed his head solemnly.

The ministers in the hall, the clan, the foreign envoys, and the students all bowed their heads and stood solemnly.

The same is true of Ashina Gu Dulu.

His eyes swept to the side, and Emperor Li Zhi, who was dressed in a black gold-edged Nine Dragons Nine Chapters Dragon Robe, wearing twelve white jades on his head, and a solemn face, had steadily walked past his side and walked onto the imperial couch on the high platform in front of him.

Dressed in a phoenix Yi Zhai robe, the martial queen with a phoenix crown and a high bundle, took a step back and sat down next to the emperor.

Li Xian, who was dressed in nine pythons and nine chapters, wore a black three-beam crown and stood solemnly on the first step of the steps.

Below are King Li Xian and King Li Dan.

Ashina Gu Dulu's gaze swept over Li Xian's body, and then he bowed his head solemnly.

Immediately after, an internal attendant provincial priest immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The saint is here, and the ministers salute, and they are tending to." ”

The ministers in the hall took half a step forward neatly, and knelt on one knee with a solemn face.

Take off your shoes, untie your sword, and finally fall to your knees.

All the ministers in the palace bowed down and shouted in unison: "The ministers meet Your Majesty and wish Your Majesty a long life." ”

The Provincial Governor of the Inner Chamberlain solemnly shouted: "Xing! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers stood up, their eyes bowed, and their hands bowed.

At this time, Zhao Renben, the servant of the door, walked out, stood in the center of the hall, bowed down and said: "Minister, servant, Zhao Renben played, Yifeng for three years, the wind and rain are smooth, the people are happy, the south and the north are fighting, invincible, all industries are smooth, the world is stable, the ministers are all the people in the world, and congratulate Your Majesty on his longevity." ”

The white jade shook slightly, Li Zhi sat on the imperial couch, his gaze swept over the ministers, and finally fell on Ashina Gu Dulu in the outer fan.

Previously, when the eleven people led by Ashina Yuangui entered the palace, Ashina Gu Dulu also jumped into the emperor's sight at this time.

It's a pity that the time is too short, and the emperor doesn't have enough time to investigate properly.

……

Li Zhigao sat on the royal couch and nodded calmly: "You Aiqing have worked hard!" Prince! ”

Li Xian, who was standing in front of the side, immediately turned sideways and bowed his hand to the emperor: "Father." ”

"Proclamation."

"Whoa!" Li Xian turned around and took the holy decree from the tray on the side, then took three steps forward, held it and handed it to Zhao Renben.

Zhao Renben bowed slightly to Li Xian, and then bowed deeply to the emperor, turned around, held the holy decree in his hand, walked to the northeast of the ministers, opened the holy decree, and announced loudly: "There is a system!" ”

The ministers of the temple once again knelt on the ground: "Listen to the hadith!" ”

"At the beginning of the year tonight, the time will be the fortune of the four seas, the eight directions are peaceful, the merits and virtues are equal, and the internal and external graces are combined...... The king is benevolent, and the talisman of peace is also covered. There are many days in the sky, Zhong I Dynasty, Grace and Long, far away people are served. Today's celebration of the new appointment is the same as the public. ”

"The celebration of the new appointment is the same as that of Your Majesty."

The ministers inside and outside knelt down at the same time and congratulated in unison: "The ministers wish Your Majesty a long life, and pray for a long life for the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Everyone, please get up." Li Zhi's voice sounded again, and the ministers stood up solemnly.

"Come on, dance!"

……

Li Zhigao sat on the royal couch, and the etiquette was carried out in an orderly manner.

The emperor announced the system, and the ministers congratulated.

Thousands of cows dance, Zhuzhou presents Rui, and Zhufan pays tribute.

The ministers watched, and Li Xuan stepped forward.

"Li Xuan, the assassin of Changzhou, presents the three-year population of Yifeng in Changzhou and the number of acres of land, the harvest of the year, and the health of the people."

Li Xuan stood in the hall and solemnly bowed his hand: "The minister is the governor of Changzhou to replace the front-line garrison, offering a golden Buddha, a topographic map of Subi mountains and rivers, and ten lions of Aqin Gangjie Snow Mountain. ”

Aqin Gangjie is the same place as the sheep in the northwest of Tibet, and it is also the location of the so-called Hoh Xili in later generations.

The lion, the Tibetan flag, the royal symbol.

Offering ten snow-capped lions means that the Tibetan royal family will also be dedicated to the court in the future.

Not only that, but there is also a topographic map of the Subi Mountains and rivers.

Now Subi is still in the hands of the Tubo people, but Li Xuan has already presented the topographic map of the mountains and rivers of Subi.

What it means, it is clear.

The ministers inside and outside the hall looked solemn, and the chiefs of the twenty-four Turkic tribes in the back looked at Li Xuan with even more jealousy.

Not to mention the strength, just this ability to take down the topographic map of the opponent's mountains and rivers before the war is not ordinary.

"Not bad." Li Zhi nodded, then looked to the side.

Zhao Renben nodded, then took out a holy decree from the tray on one side, and then read it aloud: "Wei Yifeng is four years old, the age is his own Mao, the first month of the first month, the first day of the first month of Yihai, if the emperor says:

Yu play!

Fu Cheng Kangbang, send deep Yue Mu.

Silk Nexus Privy Secretary, sent to the Que, curtain dedication, only important.

Wangshi and Long, pro-Xiansi.

There are the governor of Changzhou, the king of Nanchang, the depth of the universe, and the refreshment of the wind god; He is also civil and military, and his reputation is well-known.

With the addition of cicadas, the court is appropriate.

Today, he is awarded Nanchang Wang Xuan, Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, Yunlu General, and the Order of the Protector.

The rest is like a system.

Qin this life, the world is with you. ”

"Minister Nanchang Wang Xuan, thank Your Majesty for your grace, congratulations to Your Majesty on your longevity and eternal blessings." Li Xuan bowed deeply.

He originally thought that the emperor would give him at most a civil and military officer who was a righteous doctor, a military officer of the loyal general, and at most he would increase his rank to a three-rank protector.

After all, last year, they said well, after Li Xuan got some Luo, the emperor awarded him the heir King Peng.

Unexpectedly, this time, even Doctor Yinqing Guanglu and General Yunlu's civil and military officials gave it together.

The emperor is generous, and Li Xuan can only be deeply grateful.

"Stand down."

Li Xuan bowed and retreated, and then stood in the middle of the train.

For a time, the eyes of countless officials in the DPRK and China all fell on Li Xuan.

Especially the Turks, he now knows that Li Xuan is not easy to mess with.

Following, in front of Li Xuan, Xue Rengui moved.

Xue Rengui wore a red dress and gold armor, walked to the hall, took out a book and handed it over, and said seriously: "Xue Li, the governor of the state of the minister, Qi Your Majesty, Yifeng for three years, the wind and rain in Daizhou, the people are harmonious, the minister Yifeng has three years of population, acres of land, and grassland, and the harvest is bumper for the year, and the people are healthy. ”

"Yes!" Li Zhi nodded calmly.

Xue Rengui took out a book of music again, and said calmly: "In October of the third year of Yifeng, he was ordered to go north, invade the two Turkic divisions of the Northern Capital of An, behead 8,000, get 30,000 war horses, and present it to Your Majesty. ”

As soon as Xue Rengui's words fell, the rear couldn't help but hear a sound of Suosuo.

Li Xuan didn't have to look back at all, he knew just by listening to the voice that it must be that group of Turks who couldn't help it.

Xue Rengui was ordered to go north to attack the second division of the Northern Protectorate, which was known to the Turks, but no one thought that Xue Rengui would be so ruthless.

Eight thousand, eight thousand men above the wheels were all beheaded.

Good murderous means.

The twenty-four Turkic chieftains looked up at Xue Rengui, their eyes revealing incomparable hatred.

The total number of DTZ is only one million, of which there are only three or four hundred thousand cavalry who can go to the battlefield, and among them, it is necessary to remove the army friendly to the Tang Dynasty, and it is a fluke to have 200,000 troops.

But now 8,000 people have been beheaded, 30,000 horses have been taken, and the grassland over there has been emptied......

Thinking of this, the eyes of some Turkic chieftains who were close to him had become faint.

Ashina Gu Dulu saw everything in his eyes, and he immediately knew that Datang's counterattack was coming.

The Tang Dynasty has never been a simple character.

Just by looking at the methods they used against the Turks in Luoyang, Chang'an, we knew that it was by no means so easy for them to let the Turks return to the steppe.

But on the contrary, the Turkic people who know these do not have much ill feelings towards Datang.

Not only that, after thinking about it, many people chose to stay in Datang, and many of them were even included in Jinwuwei Qianniuwei.

Leads to more changes in people's hearts.

For the Turkic people here, countless chieftains on the steppe made this trip to Chang'an.

And their careful preparation for martial arts was seen through by the Tang monarchs and ministers more than ten days ago.

Even the king of Nanchang began to close his doors ten days ago.

Some of the methods that the Turks originally wanted to do were not used.

Kaihuafang is not another place in Chang'an City, it is where the Tang Dynasty prince lives, and the Turks occasionally go in to see it twice, and they have already attracted the attention of the Fangding, where will they easily peek into the depths.

Not to mention attacking Li Xuan.

Fortunately, they collected a lot of news about the king of Nanchang, otherwise this battle would really be difficult to fight.

……

"Dangdang dang ......" Zhong Qi's voice sounded, and at this time, the palace attendant Yushi stood up and said coldly: "Quiet." ”

With a word, the temple immediately fell silent.

"Go ahead." Li Zhi waved his hand slightly.

The next moment, all the states and the provinces, and many foreign nations, began to move forward again.

Soon, it was the turn of the Turks to come forward and offer their gifts.

"Minister, Shan Yu Du Hufu Sima Asid Yuanzhen, led the 24 chiefs of the Turkic tribe, to present His Majesty the Heavenly Sage Emperor Tian Khan, 8,000 horses, 400 boxes of treasures, congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor on his long life and eternal blessings." Asid Yuanzhen, who was stocky and earnest-looking, stood up and bowed, and the twenty-four chiefs behind him stood up and bowed at the same time.

Nowadays, the 24 chiefs of the Turkic Tribe, although they are headed by Ashina Wenfu, in terms of official positions, they are led by Sima Asid Yuanzhen of the Shan Yu Protectorate.

Of course, he's a puppet.

"It's rare that the Turks still remember that I am the Khan of the Heavens." Li Zhi smiled lightly and said: "Someone come, pass on the decree, give 300 volumes of Buddhist scriptures to the Turks, and order the monks of Ci'en Temple to recruit the world's senior monks to go to the Turks to preach...... The Turkic tribes, there is no problem in building a grand Buddhist temple in the steppe, right? ”

The corners of Ashide Yuanzhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you." ”
