With the farewell of the people of Chang'an, a vast team led by Li Yuan entered the palace from Chengtian Gate and went to Taimiao, where Taishe announced the ancestors of heaven and earth.

The ancients regarded worshiping ancestors of heaven and earth as a sacred thing, and for some reason, they said that kneeling down on the heaven and the earth and kneeling on the ground and their parents.

Whenever you go on a triumphant battle, you must preach the ancestors of heaven and earth during festivals.

As later generations, Luo Shixin did not like complicated etiquette, but the ancients did not value etiquette without any reason, and they blindly sought etiquette. Each of their etiquette has a certain meaning and can understand the moral importance of the ancients. In contrast, later generations lacked etiquette and etiquette. When it comes to civilized qualities and self-cultivation, the difference between modern people and ancient people is more than a thousand miles apart.

Because of the importance of the ancestors of the world, they also seemed particularly solemn and serious.

Burn incense and worship, narrate and say hello, and treat every link sincerely.

The ancestor worship was over, noon had passed.

The next step is the most critical and important part of the prisoner offering ceremony.

This prisoner offering ceremony has existed since ancient times, and the records left over from the two weeks contain countless prisoner offering etiquettes. With the development of all dynasties, it has evolved into a custom. Only when the great victory is achieved can it be necessary to hold a prisoner offering ceremony.

Since the founding of the country, only in the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin led Henan and captured two heroes, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and held a prisoner offering ceremony to unify the northern part of the Central Plains. Now, Li Jing and Luo Shixin achieved the results of the victory of the Turks, which were even better than Li Shimin's victory back then. This prisoner offering ceremony was also particularly grand and grand.

The Turkic chiefs who were captured in this battle, left and right wings, left and right wise kings, sixteen Turkic nobles, all of them were bound by Bai Lian to kneel down and worship Taimiao, and in front of Taishe. They first apologized from the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then went to Chengtianmen to Xingshuntian Tower to accept prisoners.

Everything was determined according to etiquette and law. Li Yuan set up tents and seats in the front column of Shuntian Tower in Chengtianmen. The civil and military officials and the generals of prisoners were erected on the left and right downstairs, and the position of prisoners was set up a little south in front of the building. After the officials arrived, the ministers lifted the squad cards upstairs with red silk rope bags to report to the emperor. The emperor took his seat, and the officials shouted long live to salute. The ministers announced that they "induce prisoners" and brought the prisoners to the position of prisoners.

Li Yuan sat on a high place, looking at the Turkic Khan Jie Li, who was headed below and the hundreds of Turkic nobles behind him. He couldn't help but feel happy. Since the initiation, he was controlled by the Turks and had to compromise. According to his initial idea, he was like the Han Dynasty eight hundred years ago. After a long period of accumulation and national strength, a person similar to Emperor Wu of Han appeared, using the foundation they laid to wash away the shame they received: he never thought that he would be so glorious in his lifetime. He could watch the arrogant Turkic Khan fell in front of him and apologize.

Success and defeat the enemy!

The defeated man had no dignity at all. Even the Turkic Khan, who had once shocked one side, could only kneel in humiliation before the crowd and bow to Li Yuan's feet. With Jie Li's identity, he was unwilling to be insulted, but it was indeed easy to die alone, but his tribe members would be implicated. As the Khan of the Turkic Khan, it was a sin that Jie Li failed to protect his people. At this point, he had no face to escape everything.

I could only kneel on the ground, and I could not help but listen to the servants' report on the victory of the Tang Dynasty in public.

This reading of the war report was called "Lubu".

The "Lubu" system began in the Later Wei Dynasty and became the Eastern Han Dynasty. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, officials called documents that were not very important and did not need to be sealed with special means "Lubu". The Later Wei published the news of victory in the "Lubu". Whenever the attack was successful, they would convey the news in the situation of Lubu, and use silk on the lacquer rod to write good news, so that the world could know it. This method was later widely adopted, and Lubu gradually became a "book of cleverness" that "distributed across the world and revealed its ears and ears".

When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was in charge of Xuan Lu Bu, he had the ceremony of Xuan Lu Bu. Whenever he achieved great victory, he would gather all officials and guest envoys from all directions outside Guangyang Gate to read Lu Bu. After reading this, all officials would dance and pay tribute.

The victory of the Tang Dynasty had long been declared by the "Lubu" system, but at present, the war report was still to be read to praise the effectiveness of the bloody battles of our soldiers. The generals who went on the expedition were also proud to appear in the war report with their own names.

The names of the three generals Li Jing, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji appeared in a large number of times. The remaining deputy generals of the three generals, including Yuchi Jingde, Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun, Zhang Gongjin, Gao Zengsheng, etc., also appeared one by one, but they were not the ones with the most frequent appearances. In addition to the three generals, Su Dingfang, under Luo Shixin, was the general with the most names, and his record was also very attractive: the Powu tribe killed the tribe chief, participated in the battle of the Jianyi tribe, and secured the victory.

On the way to the Turkic royal court, Su Dingfang pulled out nails to sweep away the small and medium-sized tribes along the way. Su Dingfang also made great achievements and led his troops to capture two tribes. The following Jikoupo offensive and defensive battle made the first contribution. When chasing Jie Li, he also showed extraordinary courage before every battle. Regardless of wisdom and courage, Su Dingfang had a brilliant side in this battle. Faced with his achievements, many people with hearts had already noticed that the Tang Dynasty had another rising star.

Luo Shixin heard that Su Dingfang's effectiveness was second only to their three main generals, and he was also happy for this general with the most outstanding achievements in foreign wars in the history of the Tang Dynasty: Su Dingfang should not have any experience in his previous life.

Su Dingfang had extremely brilliant achievements in history, but his first half of his life was a jewel of dust and had no soil to be played out. It was because there were too many famous officials and generals of this era, and Su Dingfang was a general who followed Dou Jiande and Liu Heita, and he became a general of Tang until the Zhenguan period. Although he had talent, his qualifications and reputation were pitiful and he had no chance to prove himself. The only outstanding one was to follow Li Jing to attack the Turkic Khan Court. He was the first to enter Jie Li's tent and was also named the General of the Left Wu Hou. But what he showed was his courage, not the commanding commander.

In terms of courage, in the martial Tang Dynasty, if it were not for Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde, who were the most brave tiger generals of the three armies, who were not as brave as the world, there were countless people who could be called brave. Because of this, Su Dingfang did not have the opportunity to show his ability during the Zhenguan dynasty. It was not until the Emperor Gaozong, Su Dingfang, who was 63 years old, showed his talent in the battle to fight against Goguryeo and entered Li Zhi's sight. Then, in only ten years, he destroyed the Turks in the west, pacified Baekje in the east, and settled Tubo in the south, and ran thousands of miles, annihilated the Three Kingdoms, captured their kings alive, and thus shocked and subjugated the countries in the Western Regions.

In later generations, Luo Shixin would not help but think: If his opportunity came earlier, he would not be a bad old man, but would be discovered in his prime of golden age? How could his foreign war achievements grow terrible? Of course, all this was a fantasy at that time...

Now he has traveled through time, and by chance he met him, he has taken him into his subordinates.

While accepting Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin had an idea to explore Su Dingfang's ability and let him get into Li Shimin's eyes earlier, wanting to see how much this foreign war hero could grow. As he expected, Su Dingfang's military talent commission was really amazing. He became his heavy arm in a short time, and made such achievements in just over the past year.

Luo Shixin was not happy either... He touched his beard, looked back at the beloved general with a red face, and thought to himself: "Your achievements will be better than in history, but the title of the No. 1 foreign war hero must be given to me... With me here, you can't get it."

During the prisoner offering ceremony, Li Yuan would also announce in public the disposal of the Turkic prisoners. If the sentence is sentenced to death, he would be dragged directly to the execution ground for punishment. If the sentence is sentenced to forgive his crime, he would need to kneel three times and kowtow nine times to thank him for his forgiveness.

Regarding the handling of Jie Li, Li Yuan had discussed with the civil and military officials of the court. There were two different voices in the court. One was more radical and he directly killed the matter. The other felt that Jie Li's survival was related to the Turkic remnants in the north. If Jie Li was killed directly, it would cause uneasiness among the remnants, thus breaking away from the control of the Tang Dynasty, fleeing from the Tang Dynasty to join Xue Yantuo, Western Turkic remnants and other troops, affecting the overall situation.

For these two voices, Li Yuan chose the latter.

Faced with the handling of Turkic remnants, Li Yuan has not yet come up with a definite decision and has agreed. But it is certain that the people in the Central Plains are people in the Central Plains after all, and they are not beasts coming to the grassland. They cannot do such inhumane things as genocide. Grassland beasts can exterminate tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, but the people in the Central Plains cannot massacre millions of people in the grassland.

Although there was no clear decision on how to deal with the Turkic remnants, Li Yuan did not want to take advantage of Xue Yantuo and the Western Turkic, so he forgived Jie Li's crimes, bought him land and housed for him in Chang'an, and was given a rank of general, and placed him under house arrest in Chang'an, so he was not allowed to return to the Turkic. As for Zhao Deyan, other Turkic chiefs, left and right wings, left and right wise kings, and sixteen prisoners who should be killed will never be ruthless.

Zhao Deyan, a traitor, was extremely guilty and directly sentenced to Lingchi to death. All other Turkic chiefs who were not known to be murdered were executed. After the left and right wings, only one of the wise kings survived, and seven of them were killed in the sixteenth place. As for Zhi's power of thinking, Ashina Sheer survived, and because the Tang Dynasty forgave Jie Li, he chose to serve the Tang Dynasty.

These two famous Turkic generals who made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty finally became members of the Tang army.

With the end of the prisoner offering ceremony, the next step is the relief of all the generals on the expedition, the highlight of the victory after the great victory... Rewards on merit. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
