After the reward was over, Luo Zhang and others stepped aside. At Li Shimin's signal, the Turkic King was escorted up by his guards.
Looking at the Turkic king kneeling down and worshiping there, Li Shimin felt a lot of emotion. Is this the same Turkic king who flaunted his power on the banks of the Weishui River and threatened him to sign a treaty?
"King of the Turks, you couldn't have imagined that today would happen, right?" Li Shimin said slowly.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life!" The Turkic King was so excited that he kowtowed hurriedly.
Seeing such a miserable Turkic king, Li Shimin shook his head slightly.
"Don't worry, I'm not a foolish king and I won't kill you. On the contrary, I want to thank you very much. If it weren't for your persecution, I'm afraid I wouldn't work hard and only sleep for two hours a day, just to defeat you. When the soldiers use their lives, , the people share the joys and sorrows, and I finally succeeded!" Li Shimin said more and more excitedly.
After hearing Li Shimin's words, many veterans in the audience burst into tears and kept wiping the corners of their eyes.
It’s not that men don’t cry, it’s just that they haven’t reached the point of being sad!
All kinds of past events are presented in front of everyone's eyes. Looking back, everyone feels a lot of emotion!
After so many years of fighting against the Turks, how many Erlangs shed blood on the battlefield, how many people suffered bullying, and now it is finally over!
There was a bit of harshness in the eyes when they looked at the Turkic King, but His Majesty said he would not kill this person, so they had nothing to say!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please spare your life. I was wrong. It's all my fault. I will compensate you. I will compensate you..."
"Hmph, what you said belongs to me now, do you need to give it to me? Besides, if you want anything, I will get it myself. As for you, go to Honglu Temple to study first, and wait until next time I want to see you in the temple. Before performing songs and dances, don’t you like to watch Han people dance for you? I also want to see you dance for me!”
"Thank you for your kindness in not killing, thank you for your kindness in not killing! I will learn, I will learn singing and dancing!" The Turkic King finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Li Shimin did not kill him. Although it was very humiliating, the situation was better than others. He If you lose, it’s good to be able to save your life!
Seeing the Turkic King being taken away, Li Shimin couldn't help sighing. A great hero never expected to be like this. He was really disappointed!
As night fell, a grand dinner was held in Taiji Palace. This was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, there has never been anything worthy of hosting a banquet in the Tai Chi Hall, where civil and military officials celebrated together.
Luo Zhang sat at a table in the first row. Logically speaking, he should sit at the back, but he was the number one hero. I didn't see other generals frequently drinking with him.
"Thanks to Luo Zhang for this great victory!"
"Yes, if it weren't for the potatoes contributed by Luo Zhang, military rations would have been a problem, let alone the expedition!"
"That sled is really easy to use. It can carry twice as much cargo as a horse-drawn carriage!"
"The wood knot is really a strange thing. It can actually have such great power. Luo Zhanggong is in the Qianqiu!"
"In the battle of the canyon, Mugeda killed many enemies! His achievements in that battle alone are astronomical!"
"As well as the rescue in the snow and the battle in the Royal Court, every one of them is a great achievement!"
"Especially the Turkic King, Luo Zhang caught him!"
Listening to the compliments of the generals, even though Luo Zhang was thick-skinned, his face turned slightly red. These things are not his credit, they are just used by future generations.
Of course, rescuing people in the snow is a life-and-death effort. If Cheng Yaojin and the others were found on the last day, I'm afraid he would have to give up. After all, he couldn't joke with the lives of the soldiers who were following him!
"I say, gentlemen, please stop praising me. This is all thanks to everyone. I am not as powerful as you say! If this is really the case, as long as I go to the north, the Turks should surrender!" Luo! Zhang smiled.
"Hahaha, you are so humble in what you say. The Turks who have not been conquered for so many years have succeeded this time, and you have the greatest credit!" Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
Luo Zhang smiled and said nothing more. What he was thinking about at the moment was naturally the fiefdom. Logically speaking, the fiefdom he wanted was in the Nanshan area, but when he attacked the Turks, he accidentally discovered a large mine. That place was the future of the future. Near Taiyuan, there is a large coal mine province with huge reserves.
But there is also a big mine here in Nanshan. Both places are good. Luo Zhang wants both, but the fiefdom cannot be divided. Luo Zhang doesn't know which one to choose.
The dinner party was full of enthusiasm, most people were smiling, and of course some were frowning.
Changsun Wuji drank cup after cup of wine and looked at Luo Zhang, who was being admired by the stars, with a cold light in his eyes. In the past, Chu Suiliang would have been the first to jump out and speak for him, but now, Chu Suiliang has already After being killed by Luo Zhang, he really didn't have any losers like Chu Suiliang anymore.
The others are all those who follow the trend and are not useful at all!
"Luo Zhang, don't be complacent. I don't have time to play with you now. When I find the Tianshan poisonous spider and get the experience of that god's cultivation, my cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds. Let's see how I can repair you then!" Changsun Wuji thought in his mind. Secret passage.
If Changsun Wuji knew that the old poisoner who asked him to look for Tianshan poisonous spiders was in Luo Mansion, and that Luo Zhang was there when he went to pick up the things that day, I wonder if Changsun Wuji would go crazy. This is why Luo Zhang held Changsun down. Wuji didn't want him to jump around.
The main reason is that Luo Zhang doesn't have time to fight with Changsun Wuji. He still has a lot of things to do. Once he gets those things out, Changsun Wuji won't have anything to worry about!
After the banquet was over, everyone walked out of the palace, but before leaving, Luo Zhang was pulled into a carriage by Cheng Yaojin and the others, claiming that he didn't drink enough and wanted to continue.
But instead of going to the restaurant, everyone went to Cheng Yaojin's home.
After everyone came to the hall and sat down, the old guys who were originally drunk and hazy suddenly became energetic.
At the same time, Li Jing took out a large map and spread it on the table in the hall.
Luo Zhang didn't know what these old guys were doing, so he looked at the map on the table curiously.
"Luo Zhang, come and see, is this where the coal was found?" Cheng Yaojin pulled Luo Zhang and pointed to a marked red dot on the map.
Luo Zhang was stunned for a moment. What did he think it was? These old guys who had been doing this for a long time were just here to share the spoils. After all, the fiefdom promised so much, but this time His Majesty showed mercy and gave them their own choice, which gave them a lot of room for autonomy.
Naturally, we have to choose carefully and choose a good place. The first place to bear the brunt is naturally the northern coal mine land.
This is a good thing, a good thing that can replace firewood. Even a fool knows that this thing can be sold for a high price, and who will have trouble with the money.
