Chang'an City was lit up, and the people celebrated with their crowns. The Taiji Hall was full of people, and Li Yuan, the old emperor who had not shown up for a long time, was also wearing a luxurious dress today and was in the court to observe. Just because of one thing - Jieli was escorted into the palace.

Su Lie and others returned to the dynasty to offer prisoners, Li Eryi was rewarded, Su Lie was named the general of Zuo Wuwei, and was awarded the title of Duke of Linqing County. The official residence is the third grade, and the lord is from the second grade, which can be said to be one step to the sky. Except for the champion Hou Xiaorui in Datang, no one is promoted faster than him.

"Spread the Turkic Khan Jieli and a group of captive generals to the palace!"

Jieli, who heard the report outside the door, hated it with hatred, but this is the treatment of the prisoners, when Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was he not teased and bullied by all the Turks?

"Turkic Jieli, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." The Turk stood in the center of the hall and shouted.

"Bold, a captive, why don't you kneel when you see the son of heaven in my family?" Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette stood up and beat Ma Wei.

The generals of the Turkic side were indignant, but unfortunately they were tied up and could only stare angrily.

Li Er smiled and waved his hand: "That's it, no need to be polite." Come to someone, loosen the ties of the Turkic Khan, come to my Chang'an and be a guest, and in the future it will be a family. ”

Jieli shouted angrily: "Li Er, you are ungrateful, on the banks of the Weishui River back then, you and I swore to the Heavenly Alliance that we would be brothers and not invade each other. But today thou hast broken thy covenant, little man ......"

"Shut up!" Datang Wenwu came out to drink one after another.

Li Er's face fell, and he waved his hand to the person next to him, and his subordinates opened a holy decree, "Holy oracle, in order to celebrate my victory in the Tang Dynasty, I should burn the watch and sacrifice to the heavens to comfort the ancestors and the heroic spirits of the Tang Dynasty." Drive the Shuntian Tower, Taimiao to worship the sky! ”

You......

Jieli was almost angry to death, why is this a face-turning, saying that he will turn his face? Taimiao sacrifice prisoners? Pull us out for the people of Datang to watch? Li Er, you are ruthless!

The temple burned incense, and in front of countless onlookers, the officials of the Ministry of Rites stood up and announced, "There is the steppe Turkic leader Jieli, whose crimes are five: first, the Turkic state was broken in the past, and it was only with the help of the former Sui that it was able to survive, and the former Sui was in trouble, but you fell into the ground, causing the former Sui to be destroyed; second, to be my neighbor, and to be a perfidious offender; Third, the continuous conquest has caused resentment among the tribes; Fourth, plundering our people, trampling on my crops, and destroying my fertile land; Fifth, it cuts off our trade routes and harms my friendship with my neighbors. All these five are the most heinous sins......"

A statement, read Jieli and wanted to scold his mother.

Are you stating Lao Tzu's crimes? It's clearly fabricating charges and making it up.

The grievances between the former Sui and me, what does it matter to you Datang? Can you use Datang to fight grievances? If the former Sui is not destroyed, can you steal the country in the Tang Dynasty? It's good now, the first one says that I won't save the former Sui? Listen, is this a human thing?

It's a pity that our military division is not there, and Ben Khan is not good at arguing, otherwise he will definitely refute it fiercely.

There is also a third one, I have been fighting for many years, causing the tribe to resent, which is the truth, but what does it matter to you? That's my Turkic internal affairs, our people, do you need your Tang Dynasty to help uphold justice?

The last one? Are you serious? Friends from afar and close attack, everyone does this way, right? I don't interfere with your Datang friendship with other countries, do you still help you pull the strings?

Li Er looked at Jieli's indignant but helpless appearance, his heart was secretly refreshed, and he stood up and said: "Jieli, you are extremely evil, I want to kill you not without reason, but the covenant of Weishang has not been forgotten, so I don't want to be harsh." Come on, proclaim. ”

An attendant came out and announced: "Feng Turkic Khan Jieli, whose real name is Ashina, is the Marquis of Guiyi." Return to the small servants of the family, and in the future, they will live in Chang'an City and enjoy happiness. In this way, you and I have made friends in the past. ”

The chamberlain walked up to Jieli and reminded: "Gui Yihou, thank you for the order." Your Majesty has already sent someone to pick up your family. ”

…… This seems like a threat, right?

Jieli had no choice but to receive the order of gratitude. So far, he no longer has a trace of arrogance, as if his backbone has been sucked away.

Inside the prison, Zhao Deyan looked at Xiao Rui, who was waiting for him with good wine and food, and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, are you afraid that I will not fulfill the gambling contract?" Specially arranged? ”

"That's right, I've been waiting for you for a long time, these are all specially arranged for you, come on." Xiao Rui means that today's food and wine are all for him.

Zhao Deyan arched his hand and said: "Thank you Lord Hou for lifting up, not only did you avoid the shame of today's prisoner, but also gave such preferential treatment." You don't have to be like this, Zhao Deyan is willing to gamble and lose, and he is convinced by Hou Ye. If the Tang Emperor does not give up, he will be a staff member to the prince as agreed. ”

"Now Zhao is still a prisoner, you can live anywhere, you arrange the cell so carefully, but it will make others criticize me, saying that I have such a preferential treatment as a subordinate......"

Yes?

Xiao Rui was stupid when he heard this, "Ahem, military advisor, you misunderstood." Today's wine and food are for you, and the decoration of this prison is not for you. This is my place, you live next door. ”

Next door?

Zhao Deyan turned his head to look at the dim place next to him, a dry bed, a commode? I'm ......

Wait, what did you just say?

"Master Hou, do you mean that now you are living in this prison? Did something happen? You are a dignified champion, why were you imprisoned? ”

Xiao Rui spread his hands, "Do you think I look like I'm in prison?" ”

Forehead...... Like, it doesn't seem like it!

"And what are you? Like the setting? Are you here for a retreat? Zhao Deyan guessed.

Xiao Rui laughed and said, "Okay, Zhao Junshi, don't guess." Xiao Mougong was imprisoned. It's just that His Majesty beat a stick to give a sweet date, and he was reluctant to really punish me, so he would decorate the prison as a preferential treatment. ”

"Come and eat and talk, I've been living these days, but I'm bored. I've been waiting for someone to talk to, and I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

The chamberlain Lao Gao trembled at the door, and said in his heart, should you convey what Master Ma said just now to Your Majesty? Beat a stick to give a sweet date?

Zhao Deyan was dumbfounded, unable to imagine what kind of way this pair of monarchs and ministers got along? If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was afraid that you would be a master of high merit, I am afraid that he would not use such a shallow means. If you Xiao Rui were really beaten, you wouldn't dare to ridicule the emperor so casually.

Shaking his head, Zhao Deyan simply didn't think about it anymore, if he came, he would be safe, and it would be good to have the champion Hou to chat with him in prison.

"Master Hou, since you invited Zhao to chat and relieve your boredom, why are you so harsh? You live in the same way as the study, but what kind do you live in? With such a gap, how does Zhao sleep at night? ”

Xiao Rui drank a full cup and said with a smile: "I thought that the military advisor was not an ordinary person and would not care about these mundane things. How? If you don't mind, why don't you and I sleep on the same bed? ”

Zhao Deyan happily arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, in this way, Zhao is better to be respectful." ”

Burst...... Wait, what did I just say? You're really self-cooked, yes?

"Boss Gao, Boss Gao!" Xiao Rui shouted loudly: "Send someone to arrange a brand new bed and futon for Mr. Zhao immediately, the standard is the same as Benhou's, just next door." ”

Boss Gao: ......

Zhao Deyan: ...... Isn't it, listening to this tone, it seems like I'm disgusted?

The ancients regarded lying on the same bed and sleeping on their feet as a sign of confidant and close friends, but Xiao Rui is not an ancient, he has three wives to accompany him to prison, and he has resigned, can he sleep with you as a big man? Are you kidding? Won't it be misunderstood?
