On the first day of October, Li Shimin received the Turkic envoys in the Taiji Palace.On behalf of the envoys, Zhi Sili handed over the Turkic "letter of state" to Li Shimin, which will be called the "letter of state" for the time being, although the Turks are not a country.The Turkic national book is written in Chinese characters, and the writing is also very gorgeous, and at first glance it looks like it was written by someone who has read the article thoroughly.Many former ministers of the former Sui Dynasty followed Yang Zhengdao, who was called the "pseudo-Sui king" by the Tang Dynasty, and went into exile in the Turks.Note: Yang Zhengdao, grandson of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Zhengdao went into exile in the Turks, and the Turks established him as the "King of Sui", and handed over all the officials and people of the Central Plains in the territory to Yang Zhengdao to govern, and restored the "Great Sui" regime, known as the "Later Sui" in history.In their letter of state, the Turks talked about good-neighborliness and friendship, and did not mention anything about the wars between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks in recent years.In the national letter, it is emphasized that in order to express the Turkic friendship and neighborliness with the Tang Dynasty, 3,000 horses and 10,000 sheep were specially presented to the Tang Dynasty.After reading the letter of state, Li Shimin gladly accepted it, and expressed his condolences to the hard work of the people who lost their thinking and ability from afar.Li Shimin told the officials of the Sifang Pavilion that they must treat the Turkic guests well, so that the Turkic guests' trip to the Tang Dynasty would be comfortable and pleasant.Finally, Li Shimin solemnly invited Zhi Shi Sili and others to participate in the canonization ceremony of the prince held by Datang on the eighth day of this month.I also happily accepted the invitation.At this point, the whole interview process is over.As for the follow-up negotiations between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, there is no need to put it in the court.After retiring from the dynasty, Li Shimin left Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Pei Lian, eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wen Yanbo and other important ministers.Although the old master Kong Yingda is not a major minister now, he is a famous Confucian and a descendant of Confucius.Li Shimin is going to talk about what he wants to talk about with the ministers next, and he also needs to give an explanation to the scholars of the Tang Dynasty, so Kong Yingda was also left in the Taiji Palace.What Li Shimin wanted to talk about was exactly what he and Zhao Yunze talked about yesterday in the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace, the terms of the deal with the Turks.When Li Shimin proposed to reward the Turks with silk, porcelain, books and other things in exchange for their release to the people of the Tang Dynasty, almost all the ministers who were left behind did not agree.Li Shimin put out the reason for Zhao Yunze's "cultural invasion".After the ministers thought silently, the eldest grandson Wuji was the first to take the lead in expressing support for Li Shimin.He also said that if the treasury was short of supplies, he would be willing to take out some porcelain and silk from his home to make up the amount.Subsequently, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wen Yanbo also expressed their support for Li Shimin's approach.In particular, Wen Yanbo, because he had been captured by the Turks and lived in the steppe for a whole year, had a deeper understanding of the Turks.He said that the Turks did admire the things of the Central Plains.Although it may take a long time to assimilate the Turks with cultural invasion, starting to implement this plan now can eliminate the estrangement between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and it will also be of great benefit to the rule of the Turks after the Tang Dynasty overthrows the Turks in the future.This plan is a big deal and has a long-term vision.Li Shimin smiled slightly, and pointed out that this plan was from Zhao Yunze, and all the ministers were stunned.As a result, those ministers who had little contact with Zhao Yunze also attached importance to this little seven-rank official.In the end, everyone, including the old master Kong Yingda, agreed with Li Shimin's proposal.Li Shimin also arranged for Fang Xuanling and Wen Yanbo to be responsible for contacting the Turkic mission and making sure to reach a deal with the Turks.At noon that day, a solar eclipse appeared in the sky.History, not apocryphal.The ancients lacked a scientific understanding of the astronomical phenomenon of solar eclipses, which was often associated with feudal superstition.In particular, the sun represents the monarch, and when a solar eclipse appears, it will be considered a warning from heaven to the monarch.There are Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's former ministers, seeing the solar eclipse, so they gathered outside the main gate of Taiji Palace to cry.said that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had been dead for more than three months, but the emperor had not posthumously awarded them titles; At the beginning, he was hastily buried with Yuanji.Although the two died in chaos, they were the emperor's siblings after all.Today's solar eclipse must be the result of the resentment between Jiancheng and Yuanji.Ask the emperor to posthumously seal Yu Jiancheng and Yuanji according to the rites, and change the burial according to the rites of the royal family.To comfort the brotherhood.Li Shimin went out of the Taiji Palace, comforted the ministers, and agreed to their invitation.Immediately, Li Shimin issued an edict to posthumously crown Li Jiancheng as the "King of Xi", and gave him the nickname "hidden"; Posthumously named Li Yuanji as the "King of Hailing County", and gave him the nickname "剌".And ordered Zongzheng Temple and the Ministry of Industry to choose the site for Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to rebuild the mausoleum according to the posthumous title regulations, and complete it in one year.After the mausoleum was completed, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were reburied with a ceremony on a certain day.It's no wonder that as soon as Li Shimin's edict came down, the sun reappeared bright.As a result, the ministers praised Li Shimin again.In fact, it is only a coincidence that the eclipse could not last too long.When Zhao Yunze heard about this, he scoffed at it.It was originally a normal astronomical phenomenon, but it had to be related to politics.This has created an opportunity for Li Shimin to reassure people's hearts.It is unknown whether the ministers who went to the gate of Taiji Palace to cry were spontaneous or secretly instructed by Li Shimin.I don't know what he thought, Zhao Yunze borrowed three juju for military training from the treasury of the military department, and went to Taiji Palace.Li Shimin met with Zhao Yunze in the Wude Palace."
There are two things here."
Zhao Yunze opened his mouth and said."
Peng Yu has learned to be obedient this time, first explain a few things, and what do you think of before the province leaves."
Li Shimin laughed.Zhao Yunze was slightly embarrassed, and then said: "The first thing is about contacting Ashide Wumosi, and the minister needs His Majesty's help." ”"This is an important matter, how do you need my help?"
asked Li Shimin Zhengse."
The minister wants to use His Majesty's hand to deliver the news to Ashid Wumer at the time of the crown prince canonization ceremony on the eighth day of the first month."
Zhao Yunze said."
Hehe, you're unceremonious, let me be your pawn."
Li Shimin jokingly said, "Let's talk, how to let me deliver the news for Ashide Wumo" Zhao Yunze took out a piece of paper and presented it to Li Shimin: "The minister's plan has been written, please read it." ”Li Shimin took the paper, read it and nodded: "Peng Yu is thoughtful, this is just a gesture for me, I will depend on you." ”After speaking, Li Shimin looked at the burden that Zhao Yunze brought with him, and asked: "Your second thing, is it related to this burden" "Your Majesty is aware of everything" Zhao Yunze sent a sycophant, and then opened the burden.Three kemari are revealed."
You don't want to play Keju with me, do you?"
asked Li Shimin curiously."
How dare the minister delay His Majesty's precious time to play around.The minister brought these three balls in connection with the solar eclipse at noon today. ”:
