Two days later, at the Taiji Hall court, the emperor summoned envoys from various countries.In previous years, every Shangyuan Festival, the surrounding small countries had to send envoys to visit Datang to maintain the friendship between the two countries, of course, more of the surrounding small countries relied on Datang to turn over materials.After all, except for Datang, the handicraft manufacturing industry in other countries is extremely backward, and almost all sources of goods depend on Datang's output.The surrounding small countries supply Datang with raw materials in exchange, such as livestock raised on the grassland in exchange for important materials such as grain and tea in Datang.However, this court meeting was obviously different from the past, and Emperor Li Er really felt what it means to come to the dynasty of all countries, and from the attitude of these small countries, he saw the awe, the awe from the heart, rather than the routine trade negotiations in the past.The Hui envoy was the first to stand up and compliment: "My lord sent his ministers to congratulate the Tang Dynasty on its great victory in destroying the country, and Hui Hui presented fifty carts of gifts."
In addition, in order to show the permanent friendship between the two countries, I would like to respect His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty as the Heavenly Khan, be canonized by His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, and pay tribute every year. ”The news of the reply to the envoys directly caused a sensation in the Taiji Palace, Tian Khan?
Still accept the canonization of Datang?
Isn't this surrender in disguise?
Li Er laughed, and was very excited in his heart, Datang Tianwei finally achieved the surrender of Siyi in his own hands, and the lord of the Hui Kingdom was afraid, doing so was not much different from becoming a vassal state of Datang."
Okay, Datang accepts Hui Hui's friendship, and Hui Hui will always be Datang's closest friend."
Li Er waved his hand and gave an extremely rich reward, because this Hui man was the first to stand up and support Datang.The envoys of other countries were caught off guard by this news, especially the Goguryeo Yuan Gaisu, who said in their hearts that this time the Su people were crazy?
What day Khan?
Why don't you just propose to merge into Datang?
What a bunch of cowards who are afraid of death, spineless soft eggs.However, among the envoys of other countries, except for Goguryeo, other countries, including the Western Turks, did not dare to say that they could face the Tang Dynasty.Therefore, with the Hui people taking the lead, others also followed their thoughts, especially some small countries in the Western Regions whose national strength was not as good as that of the Hui people, and they all stood up and took the initiative to follow suit, respecting the Tang Emperor as the Heavenly Khan and accepting the canonization of the Tang Dynasty.Including the tribal states of the Jin, Khitan, and Murowei from the east, these small countries have been full of admiration for this superpower in the past year because of their prosperous trade with the Tang Dynasty in the east.After the Western Regions, what everyone didn't expect was that the Western Turkic envoy also took the initiative to stand up, this sick envoy with bandages and splints, saluted with one hand, and also represented the Western Turks and was willing to accept the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, which shocked everyone.No, the Western Turks, that's not comparable to those small countries in the Western Regions, and the Hui are not enough to see in front of others, and when they are the strongest, they can compete with the existence of the Eastern Turks, and they also express submission?
Are you serious, this disabled envoy?
In fact, the decision to be made by the secret was also deliberate, and he risked going back and being scolded by the lord of the country, and bowed his head to follow the trend.After all, this is detrimental to the honor of the Western Turks, but Chu Mi has also seen the situation today, all countries have surrendered, and the one who does not surrender must be stunned, who wants to be the thorn in the side of the Tang Dynasty?
Not to mention how strong the Western Turks are, their own family knows their own affairs, the Western Turks have just been peaceful and stable for a year, and they are not the opponents of the Tang Dynasty at all, even when they are the most powerful, the Eastern Turks are proof of this, aren't they still caught in Chang'an to dance for others?
After weighing all the things, the Western Turkic envoy decided to sell the Tang Dynasty as a good one, and try not to let the Tang Dynasty worry about the Western Turks.Seeing that the Western Turks had surrendered, the deputy envoy of Gaochang poked his prince beside him, and the wound on Prince Gaochang's face had healed, and he had returned to his previous demeanor, although he was unwilling in his heart, he still stood up to show that Gaochang surrendered.Li Eryi accepted it one by one, and looked at the kid who was still shouting in front of him a few days ago and bowed his head, this Tang Emperor can be said to have a feeling of mastering the world.When almost all the envoys bowed their heads to the Tang Emperor in the Taiji Palace, the only envoy from another country standing aside in the field was very dazzling, he was the Goguryeo envoy from the east, Lu Yuan Gaisu.At this time, Yuan Gaisu's inner struggle had already made him regret coming to Datang in person, in his bones Yuan Gaisu was a hero who was proud of the world, not to mention the Tang Emperor who had nothing to do with him, even if his own monarch Gao Jian, he was a puppet in his eyes.Just when he was in a daze, the chamberlain Lao Gao came to a divine assist and shouted: "Goguryeo envoys come to see him." ”Everyone in the Taiji Palace, their eyes all fell on Yuan Gaisu at once, everyone wanted to take a look, this Goguryeo person is not interested, the four Yi of the Tang Dynasty have all surrendered, and you are the only one left, if you are not convinced, then wait for the anger of the Tang Dynasty.Of course, there are some old people who have reservations about this, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has failed in his three expeditions to Goguryeo, and once the Tang Dynasty starts a war with Goguryeo, it may not be a good thing.Feeling the convergence of the light of all eyes, Yuan Gaisu saw beads of sweat on his forehead, and in a hurry, he stood up, bowed to the Tang Emperor and said loudly: "I, Goguryeo, am also willing to respect His Majesty the Tang Emperor as the Heavenly Khan and be canonized by the Heavenly Khan." ”Li Er shouted: "Okay!
”Then the Hui envoy took the lead and shouted: "Ten thousand years of the Tang Dynasty!"
”All the envoys of other countries shouted slogans, and as for how many of them were against their will, then they did not know, and no one cared.Because at this time, the Wudu in the Taiji Hall personally felt the real strength of the Tang Dynasty, and everyone looked at the thirty-eight-year-old Emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the dragon chair, who was really eloquent, and he had only been on the throne for ten years, and he had done something that even the two generations of kings of the former Sui had not done.After the envoys of the four Yi applauded, the martial arts also shouted the Tang Dynasty, and for a time the Taiji Hall was extremely powerful, and the momentum directly infected the forbidden army guards outside.Yuan Gaisu looked at the Tang Emperor in the high position, his eyes were full of jealousy and envy, this is the real monarch, compared to this, Gao Jian is not even a minion.At this moment, a seed was planted in the heart of this Goguryeo minister, perhaps from the time he was forced to bow to the Tang Emperor, he had already thought of a countermeasure to return to China.After all the countries came to the court, after the Taiji Hall collectively sang the praises of virtue, Li Er thought that there was nothing to do, and he was about to announce a banquet, but at this time, the Western Turkic envoys took the initiative to stand up, "Tian Khan, the minister is entrusted by my Western Turk Khan, and I have come to ask Tian Khan to ask a noble Tang princess to go back to be our queen, and ask Tian Khan for permission." ”Well?
Among the hundred officials, Tang Jian's beard shook suddenly, and he stared at this Western Turkic envoy with a broken hand, and said in his heart that this guy was cunning, and he dared to turn against the water?
