Chunting has confirmed that Emperor Taizong is not the leader of Guanshan, but I have another guess.

Seeing my excited eyes, Shen Lang knew that I might have guessed something, and looked at me and urged me curiously.

"What's wrong with Brother Chuan? Did you think of something?"

I didn't speak rashly, but looked at Chunting to know the story behind. After all, I couldn't eat too much. Before he finished telling the historical truth of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, I didn't plan to tell my guess. After he revealed this eternal secret to everyone, I will see if the candidate for the leader is as I guessed.

Chunting no longer spoke, but looked at the Buddha Lushe in front of him, as if he was carefully studying how we should do next. Fortunately, Ling Xuan, as a member of Guanshanmen, naturally knew clearly the truth that happened at that time. Seeing that Chunting fell silent again, he consciously took over what Chunting had just said and talked about the real reason for the change in Xuanwu Gate.

"WuShui is good at making a plan. While provoking Li Yuan, he secretly colluded with Li Jiancheng, trying to control the government of two generations of Tang emperors, so as to cause trouble in the world. Fortunately, the leader discovered it in time. He carefully explained the cause and consequences of Emperor Taizong. Emperor Taizong was very wise. After understanding the whole story, he thought about it and made up his mind to have the Xuanwu Gate that shocked history."

"For thousands of years, countless people have criticized the Xuanwu Sect Incident of Emperor Taizong, but no one knows the truth. If Taizong had not made such a cruel decision, I, the senior Guanshan, naturally had another way. However, if Guanshan took action, Li Tang's country would not have been able to continue for more than two hundred years. Taizong's move was not for himself, but for the continuation of Li Tang's country."

Yihe Jianchunting fell silent, as if he felt a little bored. He saw that Ling Xuan had explained the fundamental reason for the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and it had been a thousand years since then, so we naturally would not care about the specific details, so he interrupted Ling Xuan and said something else.

"Emperor Taizong destroyed his relatives for justice. Although it was for the sake of the stability of Li Tang's country, it also ensured the safety of China. So when he returned the favor, the leader of Guanshan gave Emperor Taizong a small gift."

After hearing this, we couldn't help but be curious. Emperor Taizong had already become the most important minister before ascending the throne, and the Xuanwu Gate even ascended the throne as emperor. He founded the Zhenguan rule, and his civil and military skills were of the best grade. What could be called the gift given to him by the leader?

Qi Zhi couldn't help but feel curious and asked as Yi and cute.

"What gift?"

Yihe kept silent, and Ling Xuan spoke slowly at this time. He and Yihe cooperated with him in an extremely tacit understanding.

"Do you know what Tian Khan is?"

Seeing Qi Zhi's confused appearance, Xue Nan couldn't help but chuckled and began to popularize historical knowledge for her, the silly sister.

Khan, also known as Dahan, Hehan, King Khan, abbreviated as Khan, is the title of leader of the North Asian nation. It first appeared in the Xianbei tribe and was similar to the king with Chinese characters.

Tian Khan was a noble title. Although Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Wu Zetian, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang, Emperor Ruizong of Tang, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang were all called Tian Khan, when people from later generations mentioned it, most of them referred to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin alone.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong went out to the north to challenge the Eastern Turks' hegemony in East Asia, and finally successfully destroyed the Eastern Turks. After the demise of the Eastern Turks, more than a dozen tribes including Xi, Shiwei and other small countries in the Northeast region and small countries in the Western Regions demanded their subordinates. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the leaders of all ethnic groups from the Western Regions came to Chang'an together and asked to respect Emperor Taizong of Tang as the common leader of all ethnic groups and respectfully call them Tiankang.

Although Qi Zhi didn't understand this history, after hearing Xue Nan's words, she blinked her big eyes and revealed the true meaning of this so-called gift in one sentence.

"That means that the gift in Kui Shu's mouth is not just a simple title. In fact, this gift refers to the sincere surrender of the nomadic peoples from all directions. It seems that this can be called a great gift."

Ling Xuan looked at Qi Zhi with appreciation and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, that's right. Since Emperor Taizong destroyed his relatives and kept the world safe, the leader would naturally not be stingy. The surrender of these nomadic peoples from all directions was the most satisfying gift given to Emperor Taizong."

After hearing this, we finally knew the fundamental reason for the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and at the same time we also knew the great gift that the leader gave to Emperor Taizong. There is no other question about this story.

So I looked at Chunting and finally spoke, tentatively confirming the true identity of the leader.

"Could it be the leader of Li Wei Duke Li Jing?"

Before Chunting could answer, Shen Lang laughed as if he had heard some joke.

"Li Jing? King Li Tian of Tota? I am still Erlang Shen. Brother Chuan, are you confused?"

Too lazy to pay attention to this ignorant fool, I looked at Chunting and watched his reaction.

Chunting glanced at me, smiled between his eyebrows and asked back.

"Why do you think the leader is Duke Wei of Li?"

I calmed down for a moment, talked about what I knew today and slowly spoke up to Chunting and said my guess.

In the third year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong decided to attack the Eastern Turks. He ordered his subordinates who were proficient in military tactics to be the general manager of the Dingxiang Road military commander. With Zhang Gongjin as his deputy, he launched a powerful offensive. The north wind was fierce, and three thousand elite cavalry braved the cold and set out from Mayi and advanced towards Eyangling.

The elite Tang army led their troops to Yinshan. They encountered more than a thousand Turkic scouts. They were captured in one battle. The army behind them arrived, killing more than 10,000 enemies, capturing more than 10,000 cattle and sheep, seizing hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, and killing Princess Yicheng of Sui. Jie Li Khan led more than 10,000 people to cross the desert, but was blocked by Li Ji at Jikou and could not escape north. His chiefs all led the crowd to surrender. Soon, Jie Li Khan was captured by the general manager of the Datongdao Army and Li Daozong, the King of Rencheng, and sent to the capital. The Eastern Turks were declared dead since then.

After pacifying the Turks, Taizong continued to operate the Western Regions and used troops many times. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun invaded the border. Although the people who pacified the Turks were old at this time, they still took the initiative to ask for Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and asked to take the lead to make an expedition in person. Taizong was overjoyed when he heard this and appointed him as the chief general of the Xihaidao marching, and the three armies were handed over to his command.

The facts proved that this person did not disappoint Taizong's trust. In the second year, he won victory in the capital. Tuyuhun Fuyun Khan fled into the desert and was later killed by the Chinese people.

The person who pacified the Eastern Turks' expedition to Tuyuhun for Emperor Taizong was the one I mentioned, Li Jing and Li Yaoshi.

Li Jing, whose courtesy name was Yaoshi, was from Sanyuan, Yongzhou. He was good at using troops. He first served in the Sui Dynasty and was appointed as the governor of Mayi County. After Li Yuan and Jinyang, he served in the Tang Dynasty. He followed Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, Xiao Xian and Fu Gongyu in the south, destroyed the Eastern Turks in the north, and defeated Tuyuhun in the west, and was listed by Emperor Taizong as one of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion.

He served as the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of War, appointed as the Minister of War, and was appointed as the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, and was named Duke of Wei. He was known as Duke of Wei in the 23rd year of Zhenguan. He died of illness at the age of 79. He was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, and was posthumously named Jingwu, and was buried with Zhaoling. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of King Wucheng Temple and ranked one of the ten philosophers.
