Li Longji didn't speak for a long time.
All the civil servants, generals, dignitaries, and ladies were waiting at the foot of the city tower.
As time went by, it seemed that Li Longji had lost his composure.
Of course, Gao Lishi couldn't let this kind of thing continue, so as not to embarrass the emperor.
He leaned over and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you asked Mr.
Gai and General Zhao to offer prisoners?"
Li Longji came back to his senses and came to a conclusion.
After listening to Gao Lishi's words, he was originally very unhappy with Zhao Ziliang, but then he thought again, although this horse named Black Dragon was prepared by the Dashi Kingdom's envoy Jin presented it to him, but it was snatched away by the Tuqi Shiren on the road, and Zhao Ziliang snatched it from one of the generals of the Tuqi Shiren.
There was a layer in between.
It cannot be completely blamed on Zhao Ziliang for not dedicating Ma Jin to him. .
Li Longji was thinking this, but he had an idea in his mind.
Pressing on this idea, he raised his hand and said to Gai Jiayun and Zhao Ziliang downstairs: "Gai Qing's family, Zhao Qing's family, let the prisoner sacrifice begin."
"I will obey your Majesty's will," the two agreed, and then they rode their horses to the left and right sides, leaving the middle of the street.
Zhao Ziliang pointed forward with his golden-nailed Zaoyang tree and shouted: "The sacrifice of prisoners has begun.
The ministers and generals of the Tuqishi royal family will go forward to meet His Majesty the Emperor."
As Zhao Ziliang's voice fell, the cavalry behind began to urge the prisoners to move forward dragging the heavy shackles and chains.
The shackles on their feet made a crisp sound on the bluestone on the street.
Qishi royal family, ministers and generals At this time, each of them was in ragged clothes, shambling, their faces were dusty and haggard, their faces were dirty, their beards were unkempt, and they were in extreme wretchedness.
They no longer had the unruly and unruly appearance of before.
Now they were just a group of lambs to be slaughtered. .
Without anyone scolding or ordering them, Fire Spitting Immortal, Erwei and others walked to the foot of the city tower, and in accordance with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, they threw themselves on the ground and knelt down to worship the emperor.
The fire spitting fairy said in his hoarse and trembling voice: "The fire spitting fairy, the son of Sulu Khan, Erwei, together with the tuqi Shi royal family, ministers and generals, paid homage to His Majesty Tian Khan."
At this moment, Li Longji only felt that his great desire for success was greatly satisfied, and he shouted in his heart, ancestors and ancestors, look at it, I have done it today, and I have not been humiliated. your reputation Li Longji looked at the thirty or forty Tuqi Shi princes, ministers and generals below the city tower, and said in a deep voice: "Take Fire Immortal, Erwei, you can be found guilty."
The fire spitting fairy quickly said: "Little Khan knows his crime, little Khan knows his crime" Before Fire Spitting Fairy could finish speaking, Zhao Ziliang interrupted loudly: "Fire Spitting Fairy, you are so presumptuous that His Majesty the Emperor never named you the Khan of the Tuqi Shi.
You made yourself the Khan without authorization, and you have reached this point now. , you still dare to call yourself Khan" The fire-breathing fairy was so frightened that he trembled all over after hearing this.
After slapping himself several times, he hurriedly said: "Tian Khan, the fire-breathing fairy didn't mean it.
The villain can't speak with his head.
Tian Khan has a broad mind."
Like the vast sky, the villain is just an illiterate barbarian.
I beg God not to be as knowledgeable as the villain."
Li Longji was stunned when he heard this and said with a smile: "You do know how to deal with you guys.
I haven't thought about the people coming yet.
I have prepared the carriages and horses.
I want to sacrifice the prisoners to the Ancestral Temple, so that the great ancestor Taizong will know that I have not humiliated them." reputation".
"In compliance with the decree," all the ministers bowed down together.
The chariot driver has already been prepared and is near the Zhuque Gate.
When the emperor and the ministers and generals come down from the city tower, the chariot driver is already waiting at the city gate.
The chariots and horses of other ministers and military officers are also lined up behind them one by one according to their rank.
After the emperor got on the imperial chariot, other ministers and generals climbed onto the chariot and waited.
As Li Longji's order to go to the Ancestral Temple was issued, the imperial chariot set off, and the carriages and horses of other ministers and generals also followed.
Gai Jiayun, Zhao Ziliang and others wanted to escort the prisoners, so they walked behind the entire long team.
The procession to the Imperial Ancestral Temple was too long.
In addition to the royal family, ministers, nobles, ministers, military generals, and officials, there were also left and right Longwu troops from the Royal Forbidden Army escorting them, as well as left and right guards, left and right military guards from the capital's guards.
The soldiers of Xiaowei on the left and right stood in staggered positions and patrolled along the street.
There were so many people that the street was a little crowded and the team moved forward slowly.

When Gai Jiayun and Zhao Ziliang led their troops to escort the prisoners to the Ancestral Temple, everything was ready.
As soon as they arrived, they were informed to escort the prisoners into the Ancestral Temple immediately.
When the prisoners knelt down in front of the memorial tablets of all the deceased emperors in Li Tang, Li Longji took the sacrificial inscriptions and read aloud, nothing more than to express his condolences to his ancestors, how he was doing, and how he would present prisoners of war to his ancestors today, etc.
The tedious etiquette went on all morning.
There were imperial guards in the Imperial Ancestral Temple watching the captives and guarding the emperor.
Gai Jiayun's official was old enough, so he was qualified to enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple to pay homage to the tablets of the ancestors of the Li and Tang royal families, while Zhao Ziliang, Guan'er Tai Xiao, now he has nothing to do.
He is standing outside the gate of the Ancestral Temple, riding on horseback and holding a weapon, motionless.
Bai Xiaode and others behind him are also like sculptures.
The tedious etiquette was finally over.
As the emperor walked out of the Ancestral Temple, got on the imperial chariot and left, the ministers, generals and nobles also went back to their homes to find their mothers.
All the prisoners have been handed over to the left and right Xiaowei and taken to the prison, awaiting disposal.
Gai Jiayun had a family and a house in the capital, so he naturally took his guards home.
Zhao Ziliang could only live in the post house with his guards.
The retinues do not have military personnel.
Of course they can wear them when fighting with their masters, but they cannot wear them in Chang'an City.
After all, they have no status as soldiers.
Therefore, Zhao Ziliang can only ask all the retinues to take off their armor and put on regular uniforms, and there are not many of them.
Young Master, living in a post house is not enough.
After lunch, Zhao Ziliang asked Zheng San to go to the east city of Chang'an City to find a middleman to see if there was a manor for sale outside the city.
There are two major markets in Chang'an City, namely the East Market and the West Market.
Most of the commercial transactions in Chang'an are completed in these two markets, but there are also shops operating on the streets where residents live.
Chang'an West Market is world-famous.
It was the largest trading market in the world during this period.
All civilian goods can be purchased here.
It is also the place where merchants from small countries in the Western Regions, such as Goryeo and Japan, etc. gather.
Therefore, it is An international trade market.
The East Market is somewhat different from the West Market.
The customers of the East Market are generally relatives of the emperor, dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, which is also the consumption place of the upper class.
Whether it is the East or West Market, there is a wall, called the City Wall, with nine districts.
There are two gates in each direction, and the City Wall separates the East and West Markets from the residential areas.
The houses are separated, and the houses are also surrounded by walls and managed by officials.
When it was getting dark in the evening, Zheng San came back with a happy face.
When he saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately said: "Brother Liang, you are lucky today.
I went to Dongshi to find a dental shop and said that I wanted to buy Zhuangzi.
As soon as the people in the dental shop heard about it, It happened that a descendant of a minister was demoted to be an official in Lingnan.
Before leaving, he wanted to sell a village outside the city.
I immediately asked the people from Yaxing to take me to see it.
When I got to the place, I saw that my darling was so big.
Chu Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi is on a hill.
There are more than 100 acres of fields up and down the mountain, including peach groves, bamboo groves, and wheat fields.
There is also a horse farm and a huge fish pond at the foot of the mountain.
There is also a reservoir on the top of the mountain.
Zhuangzi is very large and square. , there are hundreds of houses, and the main house is extremely luxurious, with all the furniture and everything else.
You can move in as long as you bring your own luggage.
I saw that the village was good and the price was right, so I took it upon myself to buy it for you."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Oh, it sounds good to hear you say that.
How much did it cost?"
Zheng San said: "It's not expensive.
According to the current market price in Chang'an, this village should be around 23,000 guan.
However, this family was eager to sell it and took the money to go to Lingnan, so they took the initiative to lower the price to 20,000 guan.
I saw that he was eager to take action. , I bargained with him and got it for eighteen thousand guan."
Although the price was not expensive, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but gasp.
Eighteen thousand guan, this amount is equivalent to hundreds of millions of money in future generations.
He, a small general from Ningyuan, bought such a mansion.
How could he?
It won't be too good.
Then I thought about it again.
I earned all this money by putting my head on my belt.
Who dares to gossip?
Now that I have bought it, let's just move in.
Zhao Zi thought about it in his conscience and said to Zheng San: "Okay, we will move in tomorrow.
Bo Lehan and Bai Xiaode told the brothers to put their Prepare some things and move to a village outside the city after breakfast tomorrow.
Both of them agreed at the same time: "No" On the morning of the next day, Zhao Ziliang and others all moved into Zhuangzi in the south of the city.
As soon as they walked to the foot of the mountain where Zhuangzi was located, they saw large green wheat fields and bright red peach blossoms and green bamboo forests on the top of the mountain.
There was a long road from the foot of the mountain.
The wide road leads to the top of the mountain.
This hill is originally It's not very high, maybe less than fifty meters, but it covers a large area.
The hillside is relatively flat and there are terraces everywhere.
There are a few long-style brick and wood tile houses on both sides of the intersection at the foot of the mountain and around the house.
There are horse farms, fish ponds, and sheep pens.
There are one or two hundred houses in these rows, which are big enough.
Zhao Ziliang arranged for Bai Xiaode to live here with fifty guards, responsible for the raising of war horses and the management of the farmers left behind by the previous owner.
The farmers did not live here, but lived in a nearby village, just two miles away.
When they arrived at the mountain, Zhao Ziliang was shocked by the main house on the top of the mountain and the surrounding houses and buildings.
Only the public class could afford to live in this scale.
Zheng San said that the ancestors of the owner of this house were once a certain Duke, who should have lived in the Tang Dynasty.
Founding Father, otherwise it would be impossible to be a Duke.
The next day, Zhao Ziliang came to Gai Jiayun's residence.
After the servant informed him, he was quickly introduced.
After seeing Gai Jiayun, he saluted and said: "Sir, if there is nothing going on here, I would like to go back to my hometown first.
I have been away from home for too long, and I always feel like I am returning home."
Hearing this, Gai Jiayun smiled and said, "I know how you feel, but you can't go back now.
At least you have to wait until the emperor's imperial edict is issued before leaving.
See if the emperor has other appointments for the two of us.
You Don't worry, no matter whether the emperor has other appointments , you can go back to your hometown to visit relatives.
In the past few days, you can take your followers to play around in Chang'an City and see the prosperity of Chang'an.
However, you have to control your subordinates.
There are everywhere in Chang'an City.
Officer, it would be very serious if you offend someone here."
Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely restrain the troops if I don't save them
