In the evening of the same day, the DPRK Chinese military officials and the envoys of various states suddenly received an order from Li Shimin, asking them to go to the Taiji Palace to discuss matters together.Both the DPRK and China officials and the envoys of Fanbang were confused by Li Shimin's verbal message.When everyone who should have come came, Li Shimin asked Dali Temple Qing to wear a curtain and announce the crime of Dongying's fake envoys.After listening to Dai Guan's statement of the case, everyone was shocked and surprised.The Dongying envoys are actually fake, and they also want to assassinate His Majesty the Tang Emperor, which is also too unbelievable.Li Shimin said: "Ladies and gentlemen, envoys of various countries, my Datang has always been generous to neighboring countries.Even the Turks who have repeatedly oppressed the Tang Dynasty, I have endured it again and again.Helpless, the Turks can be bullied when the Tang Dynasty, but they do not restrain themselves.The small countries of the Quartet are also bullied by the Turks.Only then did I respond to the people and send troops to quell the Turks. ”"The envoys from all over the world came to congratulate me on this, and I was very relieved.However, there are people who have the audacity to pretend to be envoys and want to assassinate me.Are they all deaf and blind when I and the officials of the Tang Dynasty" Li Shimin's face was furious, and those envoys were all panicked, for fear that Li Shimin would anger them.Sighing, Li Shimin said again: "I believe that the matter of impersonating envoys is just a case.Envoys need not bother yourselves.I summoned you here to show you the attitude of the Tang Dynasty.For countries that are sincere and kind to Datang, Datang treats itself with courtesy.But if someone has a good face and an evil heart, and comes to Datang to commit conspiracy and tricks, Datang will never forgive Dai Guan, and announce the punishment of the thief who pretended to be an envoy of Dongying. ”"The minister obeys the order" Dai Xuan responded, then turned to the Tang officials and envoys of various countries and said: "After investigation, eighteen people, including Dongying Haikou Matsuno Taro and Okayama Shinji, colluded with sixteen people including Kou Mu Qingfeng and Wang Fu of the Tang Dynasty, pretending to be envoys, and plotting to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor.This afternoon, after a battle, 14 people, including the thief Mu Qingfeng, were killed, and the remaining 20 were captured.According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the twenty thieves who were captured were specially punished with the punishment of beheading, in order to set an example" "Kill well Your Majesty wisely" As soon as Dai Guan's words were finished, Cheng Yanjin said loudly."
Your Majesty is wise" civil and military ministers and envoys from various countries also immediately echoed Cheng Yanjin's words.Li Shimin nodded, and then said to the envoys of various countries: "Envoys, I hope that after you return to China, you will spread this matter widely in your own country to warn those who are not right-minded.Tomorrow, I will hold a ceremony to sacrifice prisoners in the Taimiao, and all the envoys will also participate.It's getting late, so let's go back to the Sifang Pavilion and rest. ”The envoys then withdrew.Li Shimin said to those officials of the Tang Dynasty again: "Just now, in Dai Aiqing's report, there is a matter of concealment.This case of assassination by pretending to be an envoy was masterminded by Wang Gusong, the son of Wang Junkuo.Yangzhou assassin Xu Jingzong was also involved in this case. ”When the ministers heard this, they were surprised again.Li Shimin said: "I decided to send Gao Wensheng, the young secretary of Dali Temple, and Zhang Fangping, the servant of the Criminal Department, as the chief and deputy ministers, and led capable cadres to Yangzhou to investigate Wang Gusong and Xu Jingzong. ”"The order of the ministers" Gao Wensheng and Zhang Fangping immediately went out of class and replied.On the second day of the dividing line, Korean Chinese military officials, royal dignitaries, and envoys from various countries gathered at the Taimiao.Outside the cordon formed by thousands of sergeants, the people of Chang'an City also watched from afar.The ceremony of sacrificing prisoners was the most solemn ceremony after the victorious army returned to the dynasty.It is also the best way to show the prestige of the country and the military.Originally, in history, Li Shimin held a prisoner sacrifice ceremony at the main gate of the palace, Chengtianmen, Zizhi Tongjian, and wrote "Shuntianmen".Maybe it's because of the flapping of the wings of Zhao Yunze, a little butterfly that crosses, but now, Li Shimin is holding a prisoner sacrifice ceremony in Taimiao.This is more solemn and meaningful than coming at the palace gate.Taimiao sacrificed prisoners, that is to comfort the ancestors.Therefore, the Tang Taimiao is open to the people for the first time.Although, the people who came to watch the ceremony were very excited.But in the solemn place of the Taimiao, they also consciously kept quiet.In fact, not everyone who wanted to come and watch the ceremony was fine.The people who came were also well-known figures in Chang'an.All of them have been reviewed by the governments of Chang'an and Wannian counties.In front of the main hall of the Taimiao, Li Shimin led hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries to stand neatly on the steps.Li Shimin first delivered a speech, the content of which was nothing more than to formally inform the officials and the people of the great victory of the Tang Dynasty, and to state the merits of the DPRK and China officials, the soldiers and men in the front, and the people's strong support.Then, Li Shimin announced an amnesty to the world.Immediately, the ceremony of presenting the prisoners officially began.Li Jing led a group of generals and more than 2,000 officers and soldiers to enter the venue amid the warm welcome of the people.At the end of the procession was the Jieli Khan and his officials who were being escorted.The people did not have a good impression of the Turks, and they scolded them one after another.If it weren't for the solemnity of the Taimiao place, it is estimated that some people would have thrown rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves or something at them.After that, Li Jing led the high-level generals to bow to Li Shimin.Li Shimin ordered Li Jing to sacrifice prisoners.Jieli and the others were escorted to the front of the Taimiao.Li Shimin loudly reprimanded Jieli, and counted Jieli's five major crimes: "You take advantage of your father's and brother's business, even if you die, you are guilty of one crime."
The number is in league with me, and the two are also.Strong and belligerent, violent and reckless, three also.Ravage my crops, plunder my children, four also.I forgive you for your sins, save your society, and don't postpone it, five also. ”Jieli knelt down in front of Li Shimin and confessed his guilt.Li Shimin said again: "According to your crime, even if I kill you, it will be enough."
However, since the Alliance of the Bridges, you have not had a large-scale invasion of the Tang Dynasty.By this, I will forgive you the death penalty.In the future, you will spend your old age in Chang'an.I will meet the court and keep you safe and clothed. ”Jieli cried and thanked him.Li Shimin ordered the captives to be taken down.Then, Li Shimin led officials, soldiers, people and envoys to worship the Taimiao.After the worship, it is time for the military parade.The 600 students of the lecture hall and the soldiers brought by Li Jing accepted Li Shimin's review with full spirit.When Li Shimin returned to the steps, the 600 students of the martial arts hall were divided into six phalanxes, and walked in front of the Taimiao in the identities of flag guards, foot archers, pikemen, sword and shield bearers, and cavalrymen, and carried out a columnar performance.The neat formation movements, sonorous and powerful steps, and the indomitable momentum of the spirit opened the eyes of the people and envoys from various countries.In particular, when the phalanx marched in front of the people watching the ceremony, and changed from marching in unison to marching on foot, and when the soldiers changed their postures with their weapons in their hands, slashed forward violently, and shouted the slogan of "kill", some timid envoys were so frightened that they could not stand steadily.The mighty military was displayed in front of the people of Chang'an and the envoys of various countries.On the night of the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Li Shimin feasted the ministers and envoys of various countries in the Liangyi Palace.Emperor Li Yuan also attended the banquet.This is also his first public appearance since he moved into Hongyi Palace last year.When the wine was drunk, Li Yuan, who was drunk, held his wine glass and said to the ministers and envoys of various countries: "When Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was besieged by the Xiongnu in Baideng City, he could not take revenge; Now that my son can exterminate the Turks in one fell swoop and prove that the person I entrusted is right, what else do I have to worry about?"
Then, Li Yuan actually ordered someone to fetch the pipa and play a song to cheer up the banquet.Li Shimin also made a funny appearance and danced for Li Yuan.The ministers and envoys of various countries prayed together to Li Shimin and Li Yuan.After the old emperor and the current emperor came out of this show, the Khan Yinan of the Xue Yantuo Khanate suddenly stood up and asked everyone to be quiet.Then, Yi Nan said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, in the past, all of our surrounding small countries were bullied by the Turks.Datang, on the other hand, has always been kind to us.Now, the Tang Dynasty has wiped out the Turks, and our countries are no longer bullied.Your Majesty, the radiance of your saint shines like the sun on our people.Last night, the little Khan consulted with the envoys of various countries, and decided to honor you as the Heavenly Khan, and asked you to agree to our request. ”The envoys of various countries also immediately stood up, walked to Yi Nan's side, and bowed to Li Shimin together, asking Li Shimin to accept the title of Heavenly Khan.The envoys of various countries made this scene, and the Tang monarchs and ministers did not notice it in advance.However, the title of Tian Khan is a great honor, and both Li Shimin and Tang officials are pleasantly surprised.To say that the most surprising is not Li Shimin, but Zhao Yunze.Ah, Lao Li has become a "Heavenly Khan", yes, it seems that in the original history, Li Shimin was enshrined as "Heavenly Khan" by Fanguo after the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks.Everything is the result of the Tang Dynasty becoming stronger, I, Zhao Yunze, can witness this moment, it is extremely glorious, and I think about it again, this matter is actually led by Yi Nan.This person is quite good at selling Li Shimin.However, Yi Nan is not a good bird either.Don't look at Xue Yantuo's close relationship with Datang now, that's because they have just established the country and their strength is still very weak.In a few years, Yi Nan, a generation of heroes, will become the second Jieli Khan.Forget it, I think that in the future, there will be no eternal friends, only eternal interests.Throughout the ages, this has been the case."
The kindness of the envoys is appreciated.However, I am the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, do I still want to be the Khan of the Heavens" Yi Nan said: "Your Majesty, this title belongs to you" The officials of the Tang Dynasty also immediately stood up and bowed, begging Li Shimin to agree to the envoys' invitation.Li Shimin said vaguely that the title of this heavenly khan is too heavy, and tonight is a banquet, and it is not appropriate to discuss this matter on this occasion.Let's wait until later.Yi Nan stubbornly said that tonight is the celebration banquet of the Tang Dynasty's defeat of the Turks, and the envoys of various countries are there, and there is no more suitable occasion than this.The envoys of various countries shouted long live, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty also shouted together.In the end, Li Shimin accepted the title of "Heavenly Khan".Since then, in the edicts sent by Li Shimin to various countries, the seal of the Tang Emperor is no longer used, but the seal engraved with the words "Tian Khan" on one side
