The battle between the Tang Dynasty led to the Turks, which led to dozens of tribes on the grassland surrendering, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was elected as the Heaven Khan, in order to command all tribes in the northern grassland.

Such victory and such a result were not only the greatest victory in foreign wars since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but also the greatest victory in foreign wars in a century.

Since the rise of the Turks, they have been a confidant of the Central Plains dynasty. Taking advantage of the conflicts between the Northern Zhou and the Northern Qi Dynasty, they have been doing their best to do their best, either sending troops to the Northern Qi to plan the Northern Zhou, or joining the Northern Zhou to attack the Northern Qi Dynasty, profiting from it, and interfering with the unified process of the Central Plains.

What they did was not only long-term people, but even the people knew the sinister intentions of the Turks and regarded them as a feud.

The people of the Central Plains were proud of the rise of the Sui Dynasty, but in the end, the days were too short. Because of Yang Guang's military force, the Turks rose again, and even surrounded Yanmen Pass and almost captured Yang Guang alive.

A century of hatred is like the Han and the Huns, even the people regard each other as thorns in their eyes.

But this time, the Tang Dynasty actually destroyed the Eastern Turks in one battle, capturing the extremely evil Turkic Khan alive. Such a brilliant victory was unexpected by all the people.

The name Tang Dynasty was established for only nine years, and it was a recent event to truly unify the world.

For the newly emerging dynasty, although the systems and policies have brought a stable life to the people, their true sense of belonging is not very strong. They recognize the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but they may not empathize with the honor and disgrace of the Tang Dynasty, and they are united in their hearts.

It is not easy to do what the people want.

For this reason, the court was consistent in its trend of victory and promoted the general trend in unison. Let the people of the world know that the country they are in is the strength of, and that the country they are in is no longer the same as before, and has become a powerful country that can thrive in the four barbarians. In this way, it can increase the cohesion and centripetal force of the Tang Dynasty.

It was also because of the propaganda of the Tang Dynasty that the triumphal army along the way were warmly received and eagerly watched.

Especially after entering Shuofang, the people of the Tang Dynasty, who were suffering from the dangers of breaking through, greeting each other spontaneously, cheering and respectfully greeting the victorious triumphant army.

Amid the cheers along the way, Luo Shixin followed Li Jing to the Guanzhong territory.

After entering Guanzhong, the Minister of Rites came to the army and ordered them to rest and stand by on time to discuss the following etiquette issues with them.

In order to show the Tang Dynasty's importance to this battle and to express the dynasty's commendation for its merits, Li Yuan had made up his mind to lead all civil and military officials out of Chang'an City to greet him after his victory.

The emperor personally went out of the city to welcome him, which was called the etiquette of descending the rank in ancient times: generally, only when he saw the leader of ethnic minority or important foreign envoys, he would be treated with the etiquette of the great country, demonstrating the etiquette of the great country. However, such as Li Jing, Luo Shixin, and Li Shiji, who have made great achievements in the world, can also receive the same treatment.

The emperor went out of the city to greet him personally. Of course, it was a big deal.

Etiquette and other things need to be fully prepared, and you cannot make mistakes casually.

The Minister of Rites is a minister in charge of etiquette, sacrifice, feast, and tribute in the court. All the details of these etiquette are under his charge.

The process for Li Yuan’s side has been drafted long ago, and we are waiting for the cooperation of Li Jing, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji.

The Minister of Rites came in person to remind Li Jing and Luo Shixin and others of the etiquette should be paid attention to everywhere after the triumph, as well as the entire process after the triumph.

Luo Shixin was dizzy when he listened on the side. From the beginning outside the city to the final celebration banquet, there was a mix of Taimiao, Taishe announced the ancestors of heaven and earth, and the prisoner offering ceremony. The entire process took almost a whole day.

It can also be seen from this that the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to their brilliant achievements this time.

Compared to Luo Shixin's disgust with the complicated system, the three armies were very excited that they could get Li Yuan's personal greeting. The news spread and everyone cheered and filled with great glory and pride.

As later generations, Luo Shixin could not understand the status of the emperor among the people. For them, it was a great pride to be able to be welcomed by Li Yuan's downward rank.

In dynasties that value etiquette, even if Luo Shixin didn't like trouble, he could only follow the trend.

According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, they now set up camp fifteen miles north of Chang'an City.

At dawn, I set out to travel south and arrived outside Chang'an City at dawn.

Li Jing was walking on the front of the horse, and Luo Shixin and Li Shiji were on the left and right. As the other two major general managers, they were inferior to Li Jing, but they were not much different. They were just a distance between the horse's heads: behind them were Yuchi Jingde, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Zhang Gongjin, Gao Zengsheng, and then were generals like Su Dingfang, Xue Yong, and Mo Huer.

Starting from Li Jing, twenty-one generals including Luo Shixin and Li Shiji and others were arranged in sequence.

They wore bright armor and appeared outside Chang'an under the expectation of the crowd.

Luo Shixin saw the lineup coming to greet them from afar!

The crown prince Li Shimin, the prime minister Pei Ji, the second minister Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi and officials from the three provinces and six ministries were all standing behind him.

This is the first time in the Tang Dynasty to welcome such a scale.

Even when Li Shimin captured the two kings in one battle and stepped into Henan invincible, he failed to receive such a grand welcome ceremony.

When they arrived outside the specified distance from Li Yuan, Li Jing, Luo Shixin, Li Shiji and the general behind them turned over and dismounted, walked to Li Yuan to see the ceremony.

"The last general Li Jing..."

"Luo Shixin..."

"Li Shiji..."

"Lead the soldiers under your command to pay homage to Your Majesty, wishing you long live, long live, long live."

There was no kneeling ceremony or the habit of "Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live Long Live in the early Tang Dynasty. The three names of "Long Live Long Live" were also used in the legend of "Long Live Long Live" in the Han Dynasty. "Long Live Long Live" in this era is a celebration, not a prescribed title for emperors. Even if you meet Li Shimin and say long Live Long Live Long Live, you can express gratitude and joy when you meet Li Shimin and ask Long Live Long Live.

Under the leadership of the three generals led by Li Jing, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji, all the soldiers and soldiers behind him shouted long live to pay homage.

It is not difficult for Li Jing, Luo Shixin, Li Shiji and others to see Li Yuan, but it is very difficult for ordinary generals and soldiers to see the emperor. Under the influence of the feudal era, the emperor's status is so supreme. It is a great honor to be able to see the emperor, and they shout with great effort.

"You are the heroes of my Tang Dynasty who are not polite!" Li Yuan's face was filled with an unconcealed smile, and he responded loudly, looking at the generals and soldiers who had achieved supreme glory for the Tang Dynasty with emotion, and said loudly: "You are sacrificed for my Tang Dynasty and shed blood, and went on a thousand miles to annihilate the Turks, a long enemy who threatened my Tang Dynasty, and made immortal achievements for my Tang Dynasty. He is the hero of my Tang Dynasty. Some time ago, the miracle doctor warned me that I am old and should quit drinking. I want to see the Tang Dynasty become stronger with your efforts, and I have also quit drinking. But today, in order to celebrate the achievements you have made, I make an exception to drink... to all the heroes."

Li Yuan said excitedly, even if he was doing a show, he would do this show very cleverly, which was touching and gratifying.

The servant beside him had already prepared the equipment and handed Li Yuan a cup full of wine.

Then the tens of thousands of soldiers and generals who came with him were all assigned a glass of wine one by one.

"Come on, let's drink this festive wine together!" Under Li Yuan's guidance, tens of thousands of people drank the glass of Chinese wine in one go.

Luo Shixin tasted the taste of Zhongshan winter brew that I loved the most. When he recalled the horse milk wine he drank on the grassland, he felt that it was like horse urine. This wine was still the pleasure of Zhongshan winter brewing. Li Yuan, who was full of politicianism, thought that if everyone was thrown into the ground and fell into pieces under the leadership of Li Yuan, the scene would be spectacular.

But this is obviously impossible. Most of the wine cups are raised from all over the place, and they have to be returned after use.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty was so poor that it would not do such a luxurious thing.

Li Yuan focused on commending Li Jing, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji and led them into Chang'an City together.

The Zhuque Street in the vast Chang'an City was filled with people watching the fun. The moment Li Yuan led the triumphant army, the cheers immediately rang out like a tsunami.

This is not the first time Luo Shixin encountered this situation. There have been two such situations in his memory: the first time was Li Shimin who destroyed Liu Heita, and the second time was when he led his troops to conquer Yuyang and forced him to retreat 100,000 Turkic soldiers. He was greeted grandly when he returned to the court in triumphant success: But this time he felt that Luo Shixin was obviously different...

The first two times were more like show, and the people were watching the fun and were really cheering and cheering were those wealthy families with power and rich life.

It’s different now. Now the people around him are dancing flowers and shouting with his lungs, as if venting their joy: he has been away for two and a half years, and it seems that he has changed a lot!

As he noticed, Li Shimin almost became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the two years after he left. With the help of Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, he began to govern the world drastically: he learned from the demise of the Sui Dynasty, attached importance to the lives of the people, selected talents and was able to pay attention to the administration of officials to prevent corrupt officials. In terms of policy, agriculture is the basis, business is assisted, strict economy is practiced, and the imperial examination system is also improved.

After this chaos, it was a time when the people were determined. The system adopted by Li Shimin was extremely reasonable, strengthening the lives of the people, greatly strengthening the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and promoting economic development.

As the capital of Chang'an, the benefits received were the first to be affected, and the per capita living standard has been greatly improved, and the people of the capital have returned to their hearts.

They were honored to be able to achieve such a brilliant victory in the Tang Dynasty, and they were not just watching the excitement. They regarded themselves as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and were sincerely happy.

The style of the Zhenguan rule has been initially reflected in this capital. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
