Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 281
It is said that it is offering captives, but in fact the main object of offering is Xieli.

Having been pissed off by the Turks for so many years, it's a lie that Li Shimin isn't proud at all.After a brief conversation with Luo Yan and the others, Changsun Wuji was asked to preside over the prisoner offering ceremony.Of course, the captive offering ceremony in front of the Mingde Gate was only for the common people to see. The real captive offering still had to go to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth with the ceremony of three animals to show off their achievements.

A speech of congratulations is indispensable: "Only in a prosperous age, martial arts will be manifested. The ancestors bless the ancestors, and the descendants will do their best. Today, there are descendants of the Li family, who rule the Quartet and do their utmost. The livelihood of the people is inherited, and the importance of heaven and earth is reported. En. I am afraid that my actions will be lost, and I have no intention of harming Li Shu. The Turkic barbarians are not submissive to the king. They have repeatedly violated the frontier and plundered every year. Captive my people and humiliated our prestige. Four years of dormancy, accumulating the anger of the country; , to show the majesty of the celestial dynasty.

The command of Lai Wenchen is served by generals.The news of success spreads frequently, and the sharpness of the soldiers' front is reported;When Piaoxu first came, the soldiers sent out six routes; before Yuxue was exhausted, they all paid off.Today, we are welcoming the prisoner offering team outside the gate of Mingde, praying to the emperor, and praying to the earth..."

How could the common people understand so many rhymes? They just looked at Xieli who was slowly escorted forward in the congratulatory speech. With [-]% curiosity, they crowded forward desperately, wanting to see this man who has harmed countless compatriots. Does the famous Turkic Khan have a bloody mouth like the legend, one foot tall and eight feet thick waist?

Although I can't throw things at people to vent my anger, I am still quite happy inside.Many literati and Confucian scholars, as well as ordinary people who had suffered Turkic aggression, were moved to tears at this moment.

"Heaven has eyes, finally captured the barbarian who killed my compatriots."

"Kill him and avenge my dead parents."

"This beast is not as good as pigs and dogs. I really want to pounce on it and eat its flesh and blood."

"Fanzi who refuses to be educated is finally overwhelmed by the power of our great power. Congratulations."

"The old man is going to get really drunk tonight."

A prisoner presenting ceremony, at this time, looks like a heartfelt meeting.Standing in front of people, Li Shimin looked at the people around him, feeling happy in his heart.

After Changsun Wuji finished his congratulatory speech, he yelled softly: "Bring Turkic Jieli to see you." Even the word Khan was omitted, which shows the joy in people's hearts when they beat the dog in the water.

The guards who had been waiting at the front of the army pushed Xie Li forward, and Xie Li, who was tied up before his arrival, staggered to Li Shimin.

"Jieli Khan, you and I would meet in this situation, you never thought of it." Li Shimin said with a little emotion as he looked at Jieli cheerfully.

Today's Xieli also resigned to his fate.This time, he didn't lead an army of hundreds of thousands to besiege here, but he was tied up here alone, surrounded by those Central Plains people who were dressed in commoner clothes but looked fierce like hungry wolves. "Li Shimin, is this the way you treat guests in the Central Plains?" Anyway, I won't be able to please him in the future. Although Xieli has no confidence in speaking now, he still has some pride that he should have.Whether this pride is pretended, or buried deep in the bones.

"Bold, you prisoner, dare to be so rude to my emperor." Seeing Jie Li like this, the ministers were like irritated sheep, their eyes were opened angrily, as if they wanted to use their eyes to kill Jie Li. Cut to pieces.

"It's okay. Yours will be back first." Waving his hands, Li Shimin said to Jieli with grace and grace: "No matter how Khan came here, to my Tang Dynasty, he is a bad guest. When a bad guest comes, he should hold it in his hand." Weapons, drive them away. What does the Khan think?"

What Li Shimin said made Xieli speechless.Knowing that talking too much is useless, Jieli snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Li Shimin.

After all the grievances in his heart had been vented, Li Shimin didn't feel much fun seeing Xieli at the moment.Shaking his head, he turned around and said to one of the ministers under his hand: "Okay, let's stop here for today. Before I came, I had told the imperial chef to prepare it. Let's have a drink today."

After that, he ignored Xieli, turned around and left.

Returning victorious and feasting the ministers, it was originally a matter of trying to be happy.

During the banquet, Li Shimin kept praising these heroes. Luo Yan and Zhou Hu, who directly captured Xieli, received special treatment from him.So much so that the people who came to toast at Luo Yan's table never stopped at all, so that a person like Luo Yan who can drink quite well almost loses his dignity in front of the hall.Luo Yan didn't know if he had the habit of being drunk or not.

However, it doesn't matter anymore.The most important thing is the court meeting the next day.

After earning such a great contribution, if there is no reward, how can we mobilize the enthusiasm of civil servants and generals.As early as when Li Jing's Tang newspaper was delivered, the courtiers had discussed in detail the rewards of all the people according to the merits reported in the newspaper.And when it comes to this kind of war of destroying the country, the scale is even bigger than before, so these days when Luo Yan and the others rushed back from Shuofang, the court and the middle basically did nothing else, just discussing this.

When the brilliance of the original sun filled the palace, a morning celebration began.

Apparently, the ministers hadn't shaken off the pleasure of yesterday. Before Li Shimin arrived, they told Gao Cailie what they saw outside the Mingde Gate yesterday, or the joys of drinking in the Taiji Hall.Even the repeated reminders from Lantai's censors failed to stop this heated discussion atmosphere.

Different from the courtiers in the palace, Li Jing and Luo Yan, today is the time to formally deliver orders to Li Shimin, and they are all waiting outside the palace, waiting to hear the announcement.Fortunately, there is a side room specially used for this kind of people to rest temporarily, otherwise the cold morning wind outside the hall would not freeze them to death.

Different from the hustle and bustle in the hall, the side room is completely silent at the moment.

A large army went out, and these people had a moderate estrangement from each other in public.To put it bluntly, the relationship is not that good.This conversation with each other is naturally out of the question.And the other one is because everyone is worried at this moment, what kind of reward they will be given is unknown.

After wild guessing, they finally heard the Shan Hu long live, and after a short time of discussing trivial matters, Luo Yan and the others finally heard the voice of the servant announcing their order into the palace in a sharp voice.

Full of anticipation, under the leadership of Li Jing, several people entered the Tai Chi Hall in two neat rows.

"My minister Li Jing, since he led the army to go out in November last year, he has gone through several months and dozens of battles, big and small. He lived up to His Majesty's trust, and finally achieved full success. I am here to deliver an order."

"What you can do is rare in the world. Naturally, I will not let me down. In particular, I was able to completely break up the Turkic regime and capture Xieli alive. This battle has surpassed what we had before the war." The goal you set is really a great achievement." Li Shimin smiled happily, praised a few words, and then signaled for the servant to announce the decree he had prepared long ago.

"Li Jing, the Duke of the State of Wei, has made great achievements and is known for his strategy. He is the commander of the Sixth Route Army this time, and he lived up to his trust. He bestowed ten dendrobiums and jade, one hundred catties of gold, and one thousand guan of money, and sealed off five hundred households in Shiyi."

It's a big deal right from the start.

As I said before, the so-called Shifeng Shiyi and Shiyi are two different things.Shifeng is a fief, not just a name like Shiyi.Up to the present position, Datang, which has sealed up to five hundred households, can count them with one hand.Li Jing originally sealed off [-] households, and on this basis, [-] households have grown, which is already a great event.So in comparison, those money pearls and jades in front became supporting roles instead.

"I'm terrified, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." Li Jing stood aside after thanking him.

"Tang Jian, Duke of the State of Ju, is well versed in diplomacy. He has made several diplomatic missions to Turks, and he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This time he is not afraid of life and death. He is an example for his ministers. Give a hundred catties of gold, a thousand guan, and a hundred pieces of brocade and silk .”

……

"Lieutenants Zhou Hu and Yang Bao are quite brave, thoughtful and loyal, and they have been silent for three years, and they are blockbusters. This time, they are not timid in every battle, and they are brave and diligent. Helping General Luo Yan of Zuo Weiwei capture the head of the barbarian, the credit goes to Sheji, I specially recruit you two into the Forbidden Army of Beiya, and give you the post of first-class bodyguards to accompany the king."

Zhou Hu and Yang Bao can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

The guards around the emperor were divided into three classes. Li Shimin's personal guard who had tried martial arts with Luo Yan a few years ago was only the first class guard after so many years.And the first-class guards are real third-rank officials, and the school lieutenant Zhou Hu, Yang Bao, and others were the sixth-rank officials.It seems that the distance is only the distance of the third rank, but there are only so many civil and military personnel of the third rank in the imperial court, and it is less than forty if they are full of fights. This is still counting those false titles.

And the rights of the first-class guards are not much different from those of the generals of the guards, and they can even mobilize a Zhechong Mansion's troops when they arrive at the place.

Under the jealous eyes of many generals, the two of them gave thanks.

The last one, and the one everyone is looking forward to, is Luo Yan.

Regarding Luo Yan's award, many important officials in the court held different opinions.Many people who have offended Luo Yan by relying on their elders to sell their elders, naturally they can't see Luo Yan's well.The specifications for the rewards are lowered and lowered again and again.However, those who really discussed this matter with a fair mentality gave a frighteningly high reward.

The several days of arguing took more than one day on Luo Yan.

In the end, of course Li Shimin made the decision.

"Luo Yan, the founder of the state, allowed Wen and Wu. Those who are writers are dedicated to serving the country and do not seek false fame, and those who are warriors are determined to serve the country without fear of hardships and dangers. They are credited to those whose country is unknown to the world. The king uses his wisdom, and those who help the common people take their worries. The days of being an official are short, but the days of serving the country are long. Now, I have lived up to my entrustment and captured the Turkic Jieli Khan alive. Sincerely and honestly, I hope you will make new achievements without arrogance or rashness. Give a hundred pieces of brocade and silk, a hundred catties of gold, and 20 slaves."

The faces of the few high-ranking officials who knew about this reward were as usual.And those with low official positions had already opened their mouths wide at this moment, turning their heads to look at the youngest surviving Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and thinking about what the great achievements in Li Shimin's reward speech were.

As for Luo Yan, his mind went blank.

　Thank you Xuefeixuewu for your reward, and thank you for your subscription.I'm late tonight, sorry.
