  Chapter 361 The Alliance of Chang'an

  The Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting in the second year of Zhenguan was even more lively than last year.

Without him, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne last year, and Jieli led 300,000 people to the city of Chang'an. Although he withdrew his troops in the end, it was really ugly. If the emperor hadn't sent many envoys to invite these people to come to Chang'an, it would have been impossible. Not many people are willing to come, even if they come in the end, they mainly come for the benefit of the tribute trade.

   But this year is different.

   "This is really the scene of the kingdom of heaven, all nations come to court, and the scene of a prosperous age."

  Huaihua County Wang Qin Guozhong twisted his fat body, smiling, his eyes narrowed, "Third Brother, Chang'an is good!"

  This Turkic Yu Sheshe has now turned into the Huaihua County King of the Tang Dynasty. He has lived in Chang'an for a long time and does not want to return to Fortress.

  After the family temple of Qin Lang and Qin Qiong was completed, the imperial court built the Qin family tree for Qin Lang and Qin Qiong. This Qin Guochang insisted on joining in, and desperately wanted to write his name into the Qin family tree.

  He even brazenly applied to Li Shimin to build a family temple.

  The emperor really couldn't refuse such a request.

  So now in Chang'an City, the Qin family has three family temples, which can be regarded as the only one.

Originally, this Qin Guozhong worshiped Qin Qiong as his adoptive father, and no one really took it seriously, but now that the genealogy is entered and the family temple is repaired, Qin Guochang has completely become the Qin family, and he has also become Qin Qiong's adopted son. Became Qin Lang's elder brother.

   On the day Qin Guozhong officially entered the family tree, he sent ten grains of cattle and sheep to Qin Qiong and Qin Lang, each with ten thousand heads, which is really arrogant and inhumane.

  But Qin Guozhong doesn't care, he just feeds cattle and sheep, he has no less than 100,000.

  Qin Guozhong is a smart person. Here he gave ten grains of cattle and sheep to his father and brothers, and on the other side he gave ten grains to the court and the emperor respectively.

  The emperor was very happy to get these cattle and sheep from Qin Guozhong, and in a blink of an eye he named Qin Guozhong the general of Zuo Wuwei, and entered the rank of general of the town army.

  The matter of Princess Shang has also been confirmed, and she will get married on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

   "Xie Li has already knelt down, do you think Zhu Fan can't be moved?"

  Although Jieli bluffed and sent a few people to Chang'an to make trouble, it still couldn't match the reality.

  Seeing that the relationship is getting more and more tense, and Datang has completely controlled Shuofang and Daibei, and Tuli and Tang Ting are flirting again, Jieli still panics after all.

  Finally at the request of Li Shimin, Jieli had no choice but to send Zhi Shisili to pay homage to the emperor and renew the covenant.

  Only this time, Datang's attitude was very tough. The Turks could no longer get an equal status with Datang.

  Datang also asked Jieli to recognize the emperor of Tang Dynasty as Tian Khan, and the Turkic Khan should also submit allegiance to Tian Khan.

   After going back and forth, the relationship was completely reversed. At the beginning of Wude, the Turks wanted Tang to be a vassal.

As soon as he was unable to hold back his thoughts and objected, the officials of Honglu Temple stopped talking, let's fight, wait until Tang's iron cavalry steps into Shanyutai, cut down the golden wolf flag, and then arrest Jieli to Chang'an to dance for the emperor up.

   After doing this several times, his persistence and thinking power also collapsed. He was very aware of Xieli's current predicament, and he really didn't dare to turn against Datang now.

   In desperation, the Chang'an Alliance was finally signed at the end of the year.

  Jieli honored Tang emperor Li Shimin as his uncle, respected Tang emperor Li Shimin as Tian Khan, and recognized the legal rationality of the Tang Dynasty's recovery of the lands of Shuofang and Daibei. At the same time, according to the request of the Tang Dynasty, Xieli no longer supported the small post-Sui court in Dingxiang.

   And Xieli also agreed to lead his troops back to the Mobei Khan Court before next winter, and use the desert as the boundary in the future.

  This covenant can be described as the surrender of the Turks.

  This covenant has shocked countless people.

   Before the covenant was concluded, but after Tang regained Shuofang and Daibei, Jieli's performance also let the barbarians from all sides know the strong rise of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, so there were especially many barbarians this time.

   On the other hand, the barbarians made a lot of money in the tribute trade last year, so more people came to trade with them this time.

  The imperial court, for the sake of the celestial dynasty's dignity, is of course willing to present this scene of coming from all directions. Nanyang, Southwest and other countless small countries, even the names are heard for the first time, and some missions, business groups, etc. have come, no matter where you come from, since you have reported your name, the court will recognize.

  Even the dozens of small city-states and small oasis countries in the Western Regions were originally under the control of the Western Turks, and this time they all came to pay tribute and trade under the banner of missions.

  Even the Asan brothers from Tianzhu mainland had hundreds of missions. For example, in Jieri Kingdom, there were hundreds of small princes who came to pay tribute under their own banners.

  Zero Ling Zongzong, under the arrangement of the officials of Honglu Temple, the missions with the national flags of thousands of countries, all kinds of skin colors, all kinds of appearances, and all kinds of robes, will pass through Suzaku Paradise Street according to the arrangement.

   Today, Shili Zhuque Street is very lively, and there are countless people on both sides of the road early in the morning.

   "Why are these people so black, blacker than Kunlun slaves, as black as charcoal, which country are they from?"

   "It seems to be called Egypt! Look at the sphinx flag they are flying. It is said that this is the guardian animal of their country. What about the sphinx, isn't it strange?"

"Last time I read in the newspaper that after the death of the kings and nobles of this country of Egypt, they would cut their stomachs open, take out all the internal organs and feed them to the sphinx, and then fill their stomachs with spices, and then use the white Die cloth, wrap the whole person up, call it Mu Nai Yin or something, put it in the repaired golden tower, it can be stored for thousands of years without decay!"

   "Nonsense, how can there be such a sphinx beast in this world?"

   Immediately, someone retorted, "Why not? You haven't seen a dragon. Do you dare to say that I don't have a dragon or a phoenix in China? It's just that I don't see any of them now, and it's not like there are none!"

  This is irrefutable.

  Someone boasted there that they had seen a unicorn brought from Egypt.

   "The unicorn's neck is so long that it is three to five feet high. The spots on its body are very beautiful. It looks a bit like a deer, but it is different. In short, I have seen this unicorn in real life."

   "Why are Egyptian unicorns with such long necks? Our Chinese unicorns don't have long necks either?"

   "I heard that the trees in Egypt grow taller. It may be that the unicorn stretches its neck every day to eat the leaves on the higher places, so it grows longer."

   "Shouldn't unicorns eat meat?"

  ·······

   "Look at how these people look like white bears, with red beards and green eyes, it's scary!"

   "It is said that these are people from the country of Liugui and Yasha!"

   "Could it be someone from Yinquan Hell?"

"No, they went out of Liaodong and went northeast to the ice and snow for thousands of miles until the end of the land. They are a group of people who live in that ice and snow world. It is said that they hunt giant white bears and beluga whales for a living, pull carts with dogs, and live in igloos. The room is very sturdy."

  ·······

   It has to be said that the foreign missions from all sides came to the DPRK. This is like an exhibition, which amazed the people of Chang'an.

  The blacks from the Spice Islands in the Kunlun Sea in the distant South Ocean, and the Egyptians from the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the far west, they are even darker.

   There are even people from the country of Liugui and Yaksha from the extreme north, all of them have fur all over their bodies, like a thick beast.

   Not to mention, Honglu Temple also specially arranged for various Tibetan missions to put some local specialties of animals and animals brought by them in cages, and exhibit them together behind the team.

  Giraffes are called unicorns, ostriches are called giant birds, and there are countless rare animals such as huskies, polar bears, lions, etc., which open the eyes of Chang'an people.

  Qin Lang specially put on the golden armor, phoenix-winged helmet, lion belt, unicorn-swallowing shoulder beast, Mingyuan heart-protecting mirror that was bestowed on him by the Great General of Fuguo today...

  However, Qin Qiong's outfit is more stylish than Qin Lang's. The real gold-plated armor, the number one hussar general in the Tang Dynasty, followed by a whole square team of military officers of Qianniuwei.

  Qin Guozhong, the king of Huaihua County and the general of the town army, joined Qin Lang. His sons also had official positions such as guerrilla generals, and they were all wearing armor.

  The strong lineup of the Qin family, one king, one king, one county prince, and two county princes, also caused the people all over Chang'an to scream.

  At the Great Court Meeting, Li Shimin was satisfied with his name today.

  The scene of congratulations from all directions and court from all directions greatly satisfied his vanity.

In front of the envoys of various countries, Zhishisili led a Turkic dance on behalf of Jieli Khan, and Teqin Ashina Simo, who was once bestowed by Li Yuan as the king of Huaishun County, sang an imperial edict for Li Shimin. Le Chuan.

  And Li Shimin asked the subordinate Huaihua County King Qin Guochang to take his son and Turkic nobles to perform a large-scale court music and dance Qin Wang Breaking the Array.

  A total of 3,600 attached Turks and other barbarians performed together.

The momentum of King Qin's formation music is indeed astonishing, the dazzling and gorgeous armor, the majestic drum music, and the neat movements, especially the Turkic, Khitan, Xi, Nanman, Nanyi and other tribes wearing their own tribe's armor clothes. In that performance, when they cooperated so tacitly, it really shocked the Turkic nobles such as Zhishisili and Ashina Simo, and also deeply shocked the noble envoys sent by the Tuli Khan and Tiele tribes. shocked.

  As for those little people like the country of ghosts, the country of Yasha, the country of Kalupo, etc., they were even more shocked.

  When the Tibetan envoys met with the Tang emperor, they knelt more actively and lowered their waists. They all touched their foreheads to the floor tiles, showing their sincere awe.

  The kings of the dozens of small city-states in the Western Regions and the leaders of many Western Turkic tribes were secretly alarmed.

  It took only one year for the Tang people to surrender to Jieli, so the next step is to attack westward?

  In front of the Tibetan diplomatic missions, Zhishenli read out the Tang-Tu Chang'an Covenant in public, recognized the Turkic and Tang vassal states, and recognized Tang Tianzi as the Heavenly Khan that the Turkic and other tribes respected together.

  Qin Lang's position in this year's Great Court Meeting was a little higher.

  Although neither father nor son served as prime ministers anymore, they are also former prime ministers after all, not to mention that Qin Qiong is now the only three masters and three princes in the court. As a former prime minister, he directly ranked first among military officials.

Qin Lang is also a military official now, and he is only a second-rank general of the auxiliary country, but with his 1,500 household seals and his cross hero title, he is directly behind Qin Qiong, ranking first among military generals. two.

  And Qin Guozhong ranked first among Fanchen as the prince of Huaihua County and the rank of general of the town army, and the rank of general Zuo Wuwei.

  In front of the row, you can see the unstoppable smile of the emperor on Yuchi more clearly, and of course you can also threaten the envious and even jealous eyes from behind.
