Great Tang Southern Emperor

Before the Tang Dynasty, it happened once. It is recorded in "Lunheng·Recovering the Country": "In the wild land, the king's merits did not add troops, and now they are all attached to contribute cattle and horses."

Then there was once in the Five Dynasties, and once in the Qing Dynasty. These three should be the only three times that have historical records. There may be other dynasties, but they are not included in the history books.

It can be seen that such things are rare inside.

But once this kind of thing happens, it usually needs to be publicized, after all, this is a very face-lifting thing.

For example, this time in Datang, Li Shimin was very excited, and the Six Edicts were all attached to the country. What does this mean?The living standard of the Great Tang has far surpassed that of the Liuzhao, and the strength of the Tang Dynasty has made the kings of the Liuzhao prefer to give up their position as the monarch and live the lives of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

This undoubtedly proved the wiseness of the monarch from the side, and further stabilized his position - he was able to govern the country and allow foreign countries to attach himself to the country. How many people can achieve such an achievement in history?

"Zhen'er, you really gave my father a great gift." After being happy, Li Shimin thought of Li Zhen again, why couldn't he see that this time the six imperial edicts were written by Li Zhen?

This time Li Zhen didn't come back, but his birthday emissary had already arrived, that is Cen Wenwen, and Changsun Wuji came back with him.

After Cen Wenwen returned to Chang'an, he immediately had an audience with Li Shimin and presented Li Zhen's secret letter.What the letter said were some words of blessing, and then this time about Liuzhao. Of course, he didn't specify the specific situation. He just asked Li Shimin to rank Liuzhao first, saying that Liuzhao would have an important role. Gift to him, but did not say anything.

Li Shimin didn't care either, because he knew Li Zhen well and would not lie to him, so he tried his best to overcome all opinions, and according to what was explained in the letter, he ranked Liuzhao first.

It's just that no matter how imaginative Li Shimin has, he never imagined that Li Zhen's gift to him would be so heavy—this is the attachment of a country.

It can be said that as long as this matter is publicized, the hearts of the people in the Tang Dynasty will be greatly boosted, which will undoubtedly stabilize the rule of the Tang Dynasty. At least within three years, there should be no major chaos in the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 631 Accept the Attachment

Chapter 96 accepts enclosed

Just when the officials were stunned, Changsun Wuji was the first to react, and shouted: "Your Majesty is mighty, powerful in literature and martial arts, and powerful in the world. If there is no one who does not submit, then there is the matter of submitting to the six imperial edicts today. Brilliant and heavenly, the Great Tang is famous far and wide, I congratulate Your Majesty, and congratulate the Great Tang."

Changsun Wuji reacted so quickly, and immediately realized that now is the best time to flatter, because this is indeed a great happy event. At this time, no matter how much you say flattering, you will not be caught. People think it is flattery, so don't worry about those censors reading your book afterwards, because at this time in your heart, those censors must also say something auspicious.

"Your Majesty is mighty and mighty, with literary and military virtues, and is powerful all over the world. If you don't surrender, you will have the surrender of the six edicts today. The Tang Dynasty is brilliant and famous, and your reputation is far away. Congratulations to your majesty and congratulations to the Tang Dynasty." Cheng Yaojin Immediately, I reacted, and I felt regretful in my heart. Damn, I just froze for a while, and let someone get ahead of me. Changsun Laoyin deserves to be Changsun Laoyin, and his ability to grasp timing at this time is too powerful. I can't accept it. .

"Your Majesty is majestic and mighty, with literary and military virtues, and he spreads all over the world. If you don't surrender, there is something about the surrender of the six imperial edicts today. The great Tang Dynasty is brilliant and powerful, and the prestige is far-reaching. I congratulate Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty is majestic and mighty, with literary and military virtues, and he spreads all over the world. If you don't surrender, there is something about the surrender of the six imperial edicts today. The great Tang Dynasty is brilliant and powerful, and the prestige is far-reaching. I congratulate Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty is majestic and mighty, with literary and military virtues, and he spreads all over the world. If you don't surrender, there is something about the surrender of the six imperial edicts today. The great Tang Dynasty is brilliant and powerful, and the prestige is far-reaching. I congratulate Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty."

"..."

The rest of the people also reacted, and hurriedly followed the two of them, congratulating Li Shimin, even those foreign vassals, no matter what they think in their hearts, they must now show congratulations.

"Hahaha... Zhuqing, congratulations, congratulations, hahaha..." Li Shimin was really happy, and said to Duan Yan with a flushed face: "Meng Lili (Chief Meng Shezhao, father of Meng Gaozu Meng Xinuluo, is also The monarch who unified the six imperial edicts) really has a heart. If I reject you, wouldn’t it be cold to your hearts? Well, today I will set up the six imperial edicts to protect the mansion, which will belong to the future Nanyang Road. Citizens, there should be no less responsibility for the treatment that should be given, as for how to divide the following states and counties, this matter will be left to the three for decision."

"The minister waits to obey the order." The chief official belonging to the three departments of the court immediately stood up and bowed in response.

"Thank you, my lord, for your mercy. From now on, the 30 people in the Six Edicts will be the most loyal subjects of the Tang Dynasty. They will go through fire and water for the great cause of the unification of the Tang Dynasty, and will not hesitate to do so." Duan Yanping wept with joy, and finally You don't have to die, not only you don't have to die, but you can also get the due treatment from the people of Tang Dynasty - there is no better end than this.

"Well, I hope you don't forget today's promise." Li Shimin was more satisfied. This is one of the reasons why he took in Liuzhao. Although Liuzhao also belongs to Nanyang geographically, it is actually next to Datang (that is, Now this piece of Yunnan), there are many mountains in the territory. Although they are poor, the people of Liuzhao are born mountain warriors. Nanzhao has only more than 30 people, but all the people are soldiers. If the Tang Dynasty is willing, at least they can be recruited from here. One hundred thousand troops, and elite fighters who can go directly to the battlefield with a little training, this is undoubtedly a very important supplement to Datang's southern strategy.

After presenting gifts in the Six Edicts, the rest of the countries lost their enthusiasm for presenting gifts—no matter how rich their own gifts are, can they still be worth it?

The gifts from the neighbors of the vassal state ended hastily, and the climax of the banquet came. After the courtiers and allies, it was the gifts from the prince's interior, and the most important thing was the gifts from the princes and daughters.

The reason why we say this is the climax is because the gifts from the princes are not very high in terms of value, but each of them is obtained by the sons and daughters with great effort, and presented in front of Li Shimin, to see whose gift is more likable to Li Shimin , the gifts of the princes are all kinds of competitions, and the secret competition is cruel, but in the eyes of others, it is just a show.

Soon, the gifts from the clans and the princesses were presented, and then it was the battlefield for the princes.

As the eldest son, Li Chengqian was originally the first to play, but because he is still the emperor's special envoy with Sizi, inspecting Nanyang and treating illnesses by the way, like Li Zhen, he did not come back, but the gift has been sent back to Chang'an by the envoy. On behalf of his wife, Mrs. Su.

I saw Mrs. Su came out with a tray and led Li Xiang: "Father, His Royal Highness King Zhongshan has a heavy responsibility and cannot get out of Nanyang. Minister Te Linger sent Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu" to Liang Dai in the Northern Wei Dynasty. A set of banknotes, dedicated to the father, wishing the father the country forever, the heaven and the earth are in the same spring..."

"Well, Chengqian has a heart." Li Shimin looked at Su Shi who had lost a lot of weight, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He knew that Su Shi had suffered a lot during the days when Li Chengqian was abolished, but he looked at it again and was still dazed. Li Xiang sighed and said: "These days have been hard for you, don't leave after the banquet is over, pick some gifts and take them back."

Su's eyes were filled with tears, and he pulled Li Xiang to kneel and kowtow quickly: "Thank you, father, thank you, father."

"That's all, let's go down." Li Shimin waved his hands to let the two go down, and then said: "Don't worry, even if Chengqian is not the prince, he is still my son. Whoever dares to bully Chengqian's family members, I will never Forgive me."

He obviously said this to the Su family, but in fact, he was spreading the word through the mouths of the ministers - let some people pay attention, don't offend me, otherwise, I don't mind taking a few people to kill the prestige.

These words made some people tremble in their hearts. You must know that Li Chengqian, as the prince, is certainly powerful, but this does not mean that he has no enemies. Now he is just a King of Hengshan, a demoted prince, those who have been offended by him, still don't want to find trouble with him?

"Thank you father, thank you father." There were more tears in Su's eyes. Just as Li Shimin thought, during these days, Su had suffered a lot. They also started to panic in front of them. Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace dared to sell the things from the palace blatantly.If it weren't for the fact that her natal family still had some influence, Su was sure that those damn servants would have gone too far.

"Go down, go down." Li Shimin waved his hand, making the two retreat.

Chapter 632

Chapter 97 Presents from Princes

The Su family went down on behalf of Li Chengqian, because Li Kuan, king of Chu, died young, so after Li Chengqian, Li Ke was next.

Li Ke stood up with a smile, waved his hands, and several servants walked in carrying a huge bamboo screen.

Li Ke leaned on the screen and knelt down and said: "Father's birthday, the sons and ministers were overjoyed. They carefully selected the treasures in the treasury, but they felt that the gold and silver treasures were too vulgar, and the jade and stone literature was too old-fashioned. Classical books I am afraid that other brothers and sisters also made offerings. It would be too embarrassing if they accidentally crashed into a car. Fortunately, Erchen got the legacy of the former Sui Emperor Wendi, a bamboo screen "The Rising Sun Is Rising, and the Mountains and Mountains", which is quite unique in style, and was specially dedicated to his father. Your Majesty, I respectfully wish my father, the country and the mountains forever, and the sun and the moon live together..."

"..." No one spoke, and everyone looked at Li Ke like a fool—are you Shi Lezhi?

Everyone knows that the land of the Tang Dynasty was snatched from the Sui Dynasty. On the emperor's birthday, you took out a treasure from the former Sui Dynasty. What do you mean?

Maybe this relic is very precious, but as long as it has the words "Qian Sui" on it, the emperor probably won't like it, right?

Are you sure you're here to celebrate his birthday, not to cause trouble?

Seeing this, Li Shimin frowned, feeling a little displeased in his heart, thinking that this kid really doesn't know how to choose a gift, so he actually picked such an unlucky thing and gave it to me.And Concubine Yang, the child is ignorant, are you ignorant?Isn't this trying to find my bad luck?

Li Shimin didn't even have to think about it. Since this thing is a relic from the former Sui Dynasty, it was most likely obtained from Yang's hands, and it was very likely that he asked for it immediately, because Concubine Yang lived in the palace since she was a child, and she was used to seeing it. Court struggles, experience in palace fights is very important, it is impossible for her not to think of the taboos in it.

Moreover, Li Ke's personality is very similar to Li Shimin's. With Li Ke's steady personality, if he didn't do it on purpose, he would never take something from the former Sui Dynasty and dedicate it to himself on such a big occasion.

He should be worthy of his own taboo, but knowing it, he did it without hesitation.

What is the reason for this?

Li Shimin thought hard, until when he saw Cen Wenwen, there was a bang in his mind, and he probably guessed the whole story, Zhen'er, Zhen'er, what kind of magical power do you have, so that your brothers are convinced one by one Quit the race for the throne?

That's right, Li Shimin had already guessed the reason why Li Ke did this, that was to express his opinion, not only to himself, but also to Li Zhen - he had withdrawn from the battle for the throne.

Li Ke is a smart person, and he is very clear about the taboo of looking for Li Shimin on such a grand occasion, what it means to him.This means that he will make Li Shimin unhappy, leave a bad impression in Li Shimin's heart, and even lose his qualification as a contender for the throne.

But isn't this what Li Ke wants?

In other words, the reason why he did this today is for this purpose, to tell Li Zhen that I have withdrawn voluntarily and there is no threat anymore, so you can rest assured.

"Forget it, I've accepted the gift, you can return it first." Li Shimin frowned, he was a little puzzled, he knew his children too well, don't look at their unusual obedience in front of him, But in fact, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, except for the small ones who say that they are not interested in the position under their buttocks, then Li Shimin will not believe anything.

I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug Zhen'er gave these people, so that his own children voluntarily withdrew from the competition - he still doesn't know about the shocking deal between Li Zhen and his children, otherwise, it might be for Li Zhen means to be surprised.
