Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 114 All Nations Come to DPRK
The news of Li Ke's defeat of the Northern Sanxiong was sent to various places through official documents, and quickly spread to the entire Tang Dynasty.

For a time, the entire Tang Dynasty was boiling.

The common people have just experienced the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and they know how rare it is to live in peace and tranquility.

So when they heard that the three northern countries jointly violated the border, they were full of worries about their future life.

Li Ke was born unexpectedly, preventing the troubled times from coming again, and returning the common people to peace and happiness.

One can imagine how excited they were!
The common people put up lanterns and festoons, celebrated wantonly, and praised the unparalleled power of the King of Shu whenever they met, winning glory for the Tang Dynasty and protecting the people.

At the same time, the neighboring countries around Datang also received the news.

No matter what these neighboring countries thought about Datang before, at this moment, these people were deeply shocked by Datang's astonishing feat.

Some neighboring countries that are about to move towards the border of Datang have already ordered the withdrawal of their troops at this time, and do not commit any more violations.

There are also some small countries that have nothing to do with the Great Tang, and are ready to hold on to this thigh and seek the protection of the strong Tang.

For a while, officials in charge of foreign affairs from various countries were busy, and they sent letters of sympathy to Datang one after another.

Li Shimin is very happy these days. He only ordered the temporary lifting of the curfew a few days ago, so that the people in Chang'an can celebrate for a few days.

On this day, he invited his ministers to celebrate this great event together.

In the Ganlu Hall, the monarchs and ministers gathered together, had a banquet, talked freely, and celebrated together.

In the hall, the majestic and majestic Qin King broke the formation music, and the majestic dancers wore battle robes and danced to the music.

Li Shimin took the lead to join the dance formation, and led a group of civil servants and generals to dance together. The scene was so joyful!

After dancing to the song, Li Shimin sat down unsatisfied, and waved the dancers back.

He looked at the civil servants and military generals who were drinking freely in the hall, and his heart was full of excitement.

He picked up the wine glass again, took a full sip, and shouted loudly again: "Everyone, take a break for a while, I have something to say!"

Everyone was silent, waiting for Li Shimin's order.

Li Shimin looked at the people in the hall, and asked boldly: "The king of Shu wrote a letter earlier, saying that he would bring the 30 prisoners of war to Chang'an, and wanted to hold a grand ceremony of presenting the prisoners. What do you think?"

"Okay! My old Cheng is the first to agree!"

Cheng Yaojin yelled the most: "These bastards dare to offend our country's prestige, we should let them show their faces, and let them show our Tang people's face!"

"Yes! With such a victory, how can we not show off?" Yuchi Jingde also helped out.

These two generals are always so evasive, Li Shimin ignored them and looked at Fang Du and the others.

Fang Xuanling had already stood up, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Shu has a very clever plan. The borders of our Tang Dynasty are not stable, and we need such a grand ceremony of presenting prisoners to deter those neighboring countries and tell them to see the criminals. The fate of our country!"

Du Ruhui also nodded: "That's right! To show off our country's prestige, let's look at the King of Shu!"

Li Shimin felt relieved, and he looked at Changsun Wuji again. This Changsun Wuji was a giant in the court and could be regarded as his right-hand man. Although he often quarreled with Li Ke, he would not be ambiguous when dealing with political affairs.

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji also nodded and said: "This is a very good move. It also allows the people in Chang'an to witness my great power of the Tang Dynasty and have more confidence in the stability of my Tang Dynasty."

This eldest grandson Wuji spoke calmly and reservedly. Although Fang, Du and others did not express joy on their faces, at least they did not oppose Li Ke's actions, which made Li Shimin very happy.

Li Shimin has always been troubled by the conflict between Li Ke and Changsun Wuji. Li Ke is indeed Li Tang's hope, but Changsun Wuji is not useless.Moreover, although he has won over many gentry, he still supports Li Shimin's political views on the whole.

If you want to take him down and bring up someone else, I'm afraid it will be far less useful than Changsun Wuji.

What's more, this is his brother-in-law, no matter how selfish he is, it will not endanger Li Shimin's rule.

Therefore, he hoped that the eldest grandson Wuji could live in peace with Li Ke.

At least, before Datang is truly strong, the two of them must work together to help him strengthen Li Tang.

"Your Majesty, the Lord Gaochang sent a letter of credence to congratulate my Tang Dynasty on defeating a powerful enemy, and I want to make a pilgrimage!"

At this time, the great eunuch Wang De came in, he hurried to Li Shimin's side, and presented a document.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, took the letter of credence and looked at it, and then said loudly: "It seems that the king of Shu's battle has wiped out the souls of the surrounding small countries!"

All the ministers praised Li Shimin in unison again, praising Li Shimin for his leadership and the great power of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as he finished boasting here, Wang De hurried out again.

Not long after, he came back again: "Your Majesty, the Yuezhi, and Tocharian countries also sent letters of credence, intending to form a friendly state with our country. They said that they would send envoys to pay homage to them soon!"

Li Shimin laughed: "It seems that these small countries in the Western Regions all got the news of our victory in the Tang Dynasty, and rushed to show their favor..."

In this banquet, the monarch and his ministers enjoyed it to the fullest. Not only did Li Ke pass the resolution on holding the prisoner offering ceremony, but they also received the credentials of seven or eight neighboring countries, large and small.

All these small countries urgently sent documents to establish friendship with the Tang Dynasty and came to worship.

It is said to be a friendly country, but this is just a decent statement. In fact, these small countries have rushed to pay homage, and have enshrined the status of the Great Tang, and consider the Great Tang to be their respect.

Li Shimin was very excited. The Han people had just ended the dark age that began at the end of the former Sui Dynasty. It was a time when everything was waiting to be done. At this moment, there were constant turmoil on the border, but Li Ke's battle made these small surrounding countries all honest.

It is no small matter for foreigners to come to worship.From ancient times to the present, those who can enjoy such treatment are all sage kings and lords of great governance.

Although Li Shimin thinks he has the ability to govern the world, he has not made any achievements after all.

All of this is naturally attributed to Li Ke. It was he who used his soldiers like a god to defeat the three heroes of the north, and forced Li Shimin to fight him.

Of course, with this honor, Li Shimin has a little more confidence in himself.In the past few years, the border has not been very peaceful, which has brought many troubles to his governance. Now that Li Ke is stable, he will naturally lead Datang into a prosperous age in the future.

The wine is drunk, the dance is played, and the song of King Qin breaking the formation is played again.

Today, all the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty returned home happily.

Since then, the Li and Tang Dynasty officially began to take a strong footsteps, marching towards a powerful country that is unparalleled in the world.

Everyone will remember that Li Ke, the king of Shu, shocked the world in the first battle, making all the foreigners fearful.

Chang'an lifted the curfew, and celebrated for ten days in a row, celebrating the Tang Dynasty's march towards prosperity.

Amidst the joy and joy, ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and finally ushered in the final climax.

Li Ke is back!
