After Jieli Khan was escorted to Chang'an by the Tang Dynasty soldiers, his experience was even more tortuous and bizarre, in the face of this kind of dead king, the usual practice of the Li Tang royal family was to hang their heads on the city wall to show the public, and the opinions of the court ministers were also to behead Jieli Khan, so as to deter those Turkic remnants, and also let the Western Turkic rulers who were still enemies of the Tang Dynasty see what the fate of being enemies of a powerful country was.

But Li Shimin has a more practical plan!

In his opinion, there is no difficulty in killing a dead monarch, and he can hang the king's head on the city wall like he did with the city-states of small countries in the Western Regions, which is used to deter these small countries and widows and make them submit to the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why the Li Tang royal family was able to deal with the small monarchs of the oligopolized states in the Western Regions in this way was because they knew that these small countries were weak and exhausted, and there was no resistance to them, and they were separated by the Hexi Corridor and surrounded by large countries, which were completely suppressed by the surrounding geopolitical powers, and they could not set off a single storm.

However, it is clearly impossible to do this in the face of the Eastern Turks!

Although the monarch of the Eastern Turks was captured by them, the Western Turks were still enemies of the Tang Dynasty, and if the monarchs of the Tang Dynasty killed the leaders of the Eastern Turks, it would be equivalent to telling all the Turks that the end of defeat and capture was death and the destruction of the country.

This is not only extremely detrimental to the subsequent rule of the Eastern Turks, but also encourages the revenge of the Eastern Turks, who see that the Eastern Turk leaders have been killed, and there will definitely be no chance of repairing with the Tang Dynasty, and the remaining Turkic remnants will also fight to the end with the Tang people, which is not conducive to the follow-up plan, and even has a strong relationship with the Western Turks.

The fate of the Eastern Turks is completely exemplary and vigilant for the Western Turks, and the treatment and actions of the Eastern Turks affect the Western Turks' views on the Tang Dynasty.

If it is not handled properly, it will play a negative role for the Western Turks, who will see that the end of the surrender of the Eastern Turks will be the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, and they will also give up the idea of repairing relations with the Tang Dynasty, but continue to be enemies with the Tang Dynasty, and even unite the remnants of the Eastern Turks and the Tang Dynasty to the end.

It is equivalent to killing the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan, but on the contrary, it helped the ideological unity of the entire Turkic nation and allowed them to continue to endanger the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin thought of this, of course, he didn't want to destroy the good situation, so he gave up killing Jieli Khan, but gave him all kinds of courtesies and preferential treatment, only in this way can he meet his next planning and strategy.

In his opinion, Liujieli Khan is just supporting another nobleman, and there are so many nobles and officials in the Tang Dynasty that there is no difficulty at all, not even painless, but the benefits obtained for this are endless.

First of all, you can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to take Jieli Khan as a hostage in Chang'an, so that all the remnant nobles of the Eastern Turks can see what kind of life their monarch lives in Chang'an.

In the long run, there will be more and more Turkic nobles attached to the Tang Dynasty and become some tribes that surrender to the Tang Dynasty, so that the Eastern Turkic territory in the north can be eaten away little by little and become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, it is easy to kill Jieli Khan, and how to solve the many problems left by Jieli Khan after his death is the key.

Compared with the death of Jieli Khan, the meaning of his life is greater, Li Shimin wanted to understand this, so he dispelled the intention of killing Jieli Khan, and instead awarded him the official position of general of the right guard, and also rewarded him with an idyllic mansion for him and his family to settle in Chang'an.

It's just that the grassland climate and customs are completely different from the Central Plains, even though Jieli Khan has regained his freedom and lives in Chang'an, he is still a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, he can't stand living in a house, his favorite is to set up a tent in the courtyard, live in a dome, and still live with his subordinates in Turkic costume, and in the end, he misses his homeland more and more, often cries at his subordinates, and even his body is a little thin, not like a Turkic at all.

He wanted to return to the desert grassland, to return to the North Sea, to sing and gallop in the covered world.

If you think about it carefully, you can understand that no matter how great the glory and wealth you enjoy in other countries, you must abide by the courtesies of the monarch and the ministers, it is better to be the Khan of the same in your own country, and the Jieli Khan no longer has this opportunity.

After he left, the Eastern Turks fell into civil strife, and were soon captured by the Tang Dynasty soldiers, and the entire Eastern Turkic territory was completely incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In the old age of Jieli Khan, he suddenly did not eat, drink, drink or feast, and even his family and children did not meet, but only asked to see Tang Emperor Li Shimin again.

At this point, Li Shimin and Jieli Khan are already old, they used to be powerful monarchs, and even Jieli Khan relied on strong soldiers and horses, and once bullied the Tang Dynasty, to this day, feng shui takes turns, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, but he Jieli Khan is more and more alive and falls back, becoming a king of the dead country and a vassal of the feudal, but Li Shimin has become the heavenly khan admired and worshiped by thousands of people, and he Jieli Khan has been completely beaten down.

Especially when Jieli Khan heard that his family members and daughters were all proud to serve the Tang Dynasty, he knew that his family had been completely assimilated, from a proud Blue Turkic nobleman to a mediocre lord and nobleman under the management of the imperial court in the great Chang'an, and no longer had half of the ambition and wildness of the grassland people.

Jieli Khan lived in the dome, in fact, he wanted his family and children not to forget their identity, now that the general trend has gone, his last breath of heart has completely dispersed, no longer with Li Shimin's arrogance, began to call Li Shimin a minister, bluntly said that he is old, he really has no strength to have any more ambitions, and wants to beg the bones to return to his homeland.

also played a package ticket, if Li Shimin sent him back to the desert, in exchange, he could completely hand over the territory of the desert to him, but Li Shimin was worried, afraid that after Jieli Khan returned to the Turks, the two ends of the first rat would have another dispute, so he did not agree to his request, let him live in Chang'an, the territory of the Eastern Turks, he will replace Jieli Khan to manage it.

However, Li Shimin saw that Jieli Khan was described as emaciated, and also understood that he missed his homeland, so he was still slightly relieved, and he promised Jieli Khan that as long as he was alive, he would keep to himself, and when he died after a hundred years, he could move the coffin to the Eastern Turkic homeland for burial, so that he would have a home after his death, and he would not be buried in Chang'an.

Jieli Khan was satisfied when he heard this, for him, anyway, he only lived for a few years, even if he couldn't return to his homeland when he was alive, it was not bad to be able to return to his roots when he died.
