A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 684: All Nations’ Clothes and Crowns

After a great war, the court suddenly became extremely busy.

Rewards for meritorious officials and soldiers must be distributed, meritorious service must be promoted, and a large amount of loot must be transported back.

In recent years, the people of the Central Plains have lacked cattle and livestock. This time they went directly to the Turkic homeland and obtained a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, which needed to be transported back.

Wang Xuanjing just needed a large number of cattle and livestock to implement the policy of relocating people.

Although the cattle on the grassland have not been trained and are not good at farming, as long as they wear nose rings, even the most stubborn cattle can be trained.

If these cattle and livestock are distributed, the lives of the people will become much easier.

In addition, this time the court obtained hundreds of thousands of war horses. It can be said that the problem of the court's lack of horses was solved at once.

Stations in various places can be established quickly, making it easier to pass government orders.

It happened that Wang Xuanji rebuilt the Yinshan Racecourse in Hexi. These captured war horses were sent to the Hexi Racecourse for training.

The Liaodong Kingdom knew very well how strong the Turks were, but in the end, such a powerful Turk was destroyed.

Now that DTZ is destroyed, some smart kings from various countries in the Western Regions immediately send envoys to the Central Plains to pay tribute.

At this time, Chang'an City was already crowded with people, and both sides of Zhuque Street were crowded with people watching. Wang Xuanlie personally led the Thousand Niu Guards to preside over order in the city.

Li Shimin ordered that all the best war horses from this batch of Turkic horses be selected and then sent to the Hexi Racecourse as stallions.

After confirming that the news was true, the leader of the Liaodong Kingdom immediately sent an envoy to Datang. In addition to Liaodong Kingdom, the countries in the Western Regions and the Western Turks were also shocked.

The people of Chang'an hated Jie Li very much. It had only been a few years since he drank the Mawei water and plundered Guanzhong, but the people would never forget it.

War horses are consumables, and top-notch horses are the most wasteful on the battlefield. War horses of this level should be used to breed better war horses.

The now so powerful DTZ perished like this, and for the first time the Western Turks were afraid of the Tang Dynasty's military front.

The same is true for the countries in the Western Regions. You must know that DTZ is a big mountain above the heads of the countries in the Western Regions. Except for the God-given City and the Wang Kingdom, other small countries in the Western Regions have always surrendered to the Turks and must pay tribute to the Turks every year.

The Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks in one fell swoop and the news of the demise of DTZ spread quickly throughout the world. Other countries were shocked by it. Among them, the most horrified one was the Liaodong Kingdom.

It can be said that the court has become extremely busy, but everyone is beaming with joy.

A prison car traveled from Hexi to the east, passed Longyou, entered Guanzhong, and finally arrived at Chang'an City.

In addition to these, Li Shimin also wanted to offer sacrifices to heaven and to the Ancestral Temple.

The Western Turks have been at odds with DTZ for hundreds of years. They know DTZ's strength very well. If DTZ was not strong enough, the Western Turks would have destroyed him long ago and unified the grassland.

A great victory immediately gave Datang the impression that all nations would come to court.

The Liaodong Kingdom had good relations with DTZ. During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang conquered Liaodong and almost destroyed Liaodong. The Sui Dynasty finally perished due to the conquest of Liaodong, and now there is a Tang Dynasty that is stronger than the Sui Dynasty.

Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Wang Xuanji and others led the army to escort the Turkic prisoners back.

Li Shimin personally greeted him in the city.

Seeing his old rival in the prison car, Li Shimin felt very happy and immediately said: "Jieli, when you led the army to Chang'an, you didn't expect this day!" Jieli was so ashamed at this time that he didn't know how to face it.

Li Shimin ignored him. He climbed to Shuntian Tower and asked the soldiers on this expedition to hold a massive military parade under the tower.

Let the people of Chang'an and the envoys from various countries who come to pay tribute have a look at the military might of the Tang Dynasty.

When they saw the murderous and fierce Tang army, the envoys from various countries who came to pay tribute were frightened.

Li Shimin directly rewarded the three armies. The three armies thundered, and the entire Chang'an was shouting for long live the mountains.

After rewarding the soldiers, Li Shimin ordered someone to announce Jie Li's guilt. Just when everyone thought that Li Shimin was going to order Jie Li's death, Li Shimin said: "Leave him alive so that he can watch the Tang Dynasty become stronger and stronger." !”

"This is the magnanimity of the Heavenly Kingdom!"

Jieli could already imagine his fate - he would be humiliated and then beheaded in public. But in a twist of events, he was pardoned by the emperor and survived.

After hearing that Li Shimin had pardoned him, Jie Li was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and said excitedly: "Prisoner Jie Li, I would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for not being stupid. Your mind is as broad as the sky, and you are as great as the sky. "

The entire city of Chang'an is like a sea of ​​joy. People in the entire city are dancing. Wine from the wine shops is being moved out barrel by barrel. All the people in Chang'an are celebrating a festival.

Li Shimin specially ordered people to prepare a large amount of food and wine to reward the people in the city and enjoy themselves with the people.

But amidst this joy, another place in the palace was completely different from the surrounding joyful atmosphere.

The sun shines on this palace. Although this palace is larger and more luxurious than where Li Shimin lives, it gives people a feeling of drearyness.

All the people in the palace were cautious and did not dare to go overboard in any way.

The atmosphere of the entire palace is very subtle.

Sunlight shines in from the window and shines on the person lying in the palace. It is none other than the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan.

Li Yuan has lived here since he abdicated. Li Shimin did not treat Li Yuan harshly. The palace was the best and had the most people. There were no restrictions on all kinds of fine wine and food.

Li Shimin knew his father's feelings, so he had always wanted to make up for it.

Since Li Yuan abdicated, he began to let himself go completely and indulge in it. In just a few years, Li Yuan gave Li Shimin several younger brothers and sisters.

It can be said that Li Yuan lived in a state of intoxication every day.

Ever since he learned that Li Shimin had defeated DTZ, Li Yuan had been very drunk, and he was still drunk until now.

Not long ago, after learning that his son Li Shimin had defeated the Turks, Li Yuan suddenly heard a voice in his heart: You are not as good as your son, and your throne was secured by your son's sword and gun.

He is the most suitable emperor for this empire.

DTZ, what a powerful enemy it was, Datang had always needed to avoid confrontation with DTZ, or even give in. As a result, not long ago, this powerful enemy that had been suppressing Datang was completely defeated by his son.

How many years has Li Shimin been on the throne?

Am I so bad? Li Yuan doubted himself, and there was even a voice in his heart telling him that Li Shimin was the real emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Could it be that he really did something wrong back then? Erlang should have been made the prince from the beginning!
