Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2312
The weather in summer is a bit hot.

This is especially true for Chang'an City.

The beer and wine in the east and west cities sell very well, but the best is still beer.

Chill it, the taste of beer is much better than that of wine, the most important thing is refreshing.

And at this time, news about Qin Tian had already spread.

"My lord, the king of Xiliang has quelled the rebellion in central Shu. Li Ke, the king of Shu, committed suicide."

Hearing that the rebellion in central Shu was quelled so quickly, the officials were overjoyed. The rebellion was quelled, and Datang could finally calm down.

However, when the officials were so secretly happy, Li Chengqian suddenly sighed: "King of Shu...why are you doing this, I have no intention of killing you..."

Li Chengqian was very sad, after all, he was his younger brother, and his behavior, in the eyes of the officials, was kindness.

When the historian writes this, he will definitely add it.

Regardless of whether Li Chengqian's move is true or not, it is very necessary.

Emperor, emperor, sometimes you have to do things like this.

"My lord, my condolences, the King of Shu must have known he was guilty, so he was speechless."

"Yes, my sage, don't be sad about it. The king of Shu rebelled. He deserves death. If he is easily pardoned, what is the majesty of my Tang Dynasty?"

"Extremely, extremely, Your Majesty, don't be sad about it."

"........."

The officials persuaded, some said that the king of Shu deserved his crimes, and some said that Li Chengqian wanted to mourn, anyway, there were all kinds of things, and after they said this for a long time, Li Chengqian finally sighed: "Brothers are like this, and I feel very sad." It’s not fun, although the King of Shu was wrong, but I can’t let him down, order someone to bring his body back and bury him in the imperial mausoleum.”

Rebels are not qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Under normal circumstances, these rebels are not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum until after many years have passed. Entering the imperial mausoleum is indeed a bit against the rules.

But Li Chengqian also said that he couldn't be sorry for Shu Wang Li Ke, and he wanted to show kindness. The people above the court are all smart people, how could they refuse?
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty is merciful."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked, "When will the King of Xiliang return to Beijing?"

"Hui Sheng said in the report that the King of Xiliang did not return to the capital, but went straight to Tuyuhun with his troops and horses."

Hearing that Qin Tian had brought soldiers and horses to Tuyuhun, the court immediately exploded.

"What is the king of Xiliang going to do? Why did he go to Tuyuhun?"

"This... this is simply nonsense. The king of Xiliang is planning to use troops against Tuyuhun, but our court has not yet decided."

"The king of Xiliang is becoming more and more lawless."

"........."

There are many voices against it.

In any case, Qin Tian still has some enemies in the court, and the other feudal lords have not jumped out, and they have hated Qin Tian for a long time. Taking this opportunity, they naturally want to talk about it. It's been a while.

However, when they said that, Cheng Yaojin and the others couldn't stand it.

"Hey, what do you people know? You will be away. Many things need to be adjusted accordingly. Before Tuyuhun prevented the vassal king from coming to serve the king, they wanted the Holy One to be wiped out by the rebels. Their intentions are really too much." It's been too dangerous, can we not teach them a lesson? If we don't teach them a lesson, how can we save the face of the Tang Dynasty, and how can we save the face of the Holy One? Moreover, the morale of our soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty is now at a high level. If we don't take this opportunity to punish In the battle of Tuyuhun, after the other vassal kings have returned one after another, will my Tang Dynasty gather troops and horses to teach Tuyuhun a lesson? If this is the case, how much food and grass will be wasted going back and forth. These people are not even as good as Qin Tian's finger, and now they are still talking about Qin Tian here, you are really shameful, shameful."

Cheng Yaojin was very angry and scolded those officials. After he finished speaking, those officials' cheeks flushed immediately, and many of them chose to shut up. After all, what Cheng Yaojin said made sense.

But there are also some people who are dead ducks with a stubborn mouth and refuse to be softened.

"Hmph, what Lu Guogong said is wrong. Even if you want to use troops against Tuyuhun, you have to ask the Holy Majesty for instructions. The king of Xiliang made his own decisions like this. It is too disrespectful to the Holy Majesty. How can this be done, Your Majesty. , this move must not set a precedent, the king of Xiliang is a bit arrogant."

After the official finished speaking, Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "Just now what Lu Guogong said is justified. Tuyuhun is an enemy of our Tang Dynasty. If we don't teach a lesson, we can't show the majesty of our Tang Dynasty. The king of Xiliang's move must be the same. After careful consideration, as for the king of Xiliang not notifying the court first, didn't he send someone to send the news?"

For Qin Tian, ​​Li Chengqian absolutely supported him, because he felt that Qin Tian was doing the right thing. As for the others, there seemed to be no serious principle issues?
If Qin sent someone to report after Tuyuhun was wiped out, he might be angry, but now that the news has come, he has already told the court, and he can accept it.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, everyone didn't say anything more, because it was already obvious that Li Chengqian wanted to support Qin Tian.

And just as they were talking, a palace official hurried over from outside.

"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun sent envoys here, hoping to have an audience with His Majesty."

As soon as they were talking about Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun sent envoys, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Let them in."

Originally, it took a certain process for the envoys to meet with them, but today, Li Chengqian met them directly.

The palace servants were ordered to retreat, and not long after, they called the envoys from Tuyuhun up.

Tuyuhun's envoys were neither humble nor overbearing, and saluted after seeing Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian nodded and asked, "Why did your king send you here?"

"My lord, I, Tuyuhun, know that I have sinned deeply and should not have blocked the way of the king of Xiliang. Now the king of Xiliang is leading troops to attack us, Tuyuhun. Our king is deeply saddened by this. My king said that we, Tuyuhun, are willing to submit to your Tang Dynasty. You ministers of Tang Dynasty, as your vassal state, we are willing to pay tribute every year, we are willing to..."

The envoy of Tuyuhun murmured, anyway, it was to give all kinds of benefits, as long as Datang could accept their surrender, but after the envoy of Tuyuhun finished speaking, Li Chengqian smiled slightly: "The Turks also I once sent envoys to surrender, but the late emperor did not accept it, because the late emperor felt that he would have to pay a price for offending Tang Dynasty. Now, I want to follow the example of Emperor Xian. You, Tuyuhun, have offended Tang Dynasty, and you have to pay the price. Go back Tell your king that I will not accept his surrender until Tuyuhun is destroyed."
