Chapter 403: The tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers, Jieli Khan knelt in front of the people of Chang'an!
Thump thump thump!
After the emperor gave an order, several tall guards walked up to Xu Fenglei holding the paintings.
Wow!
A picture, unfold it.
Above the main hall, Li Shimin, wearing a dragon robe, sat solemnly, while Xu Fenglei, who was under the jade steps, bowed slightly and looked like he was mumbling something.
"this……"
Xu Fenglei was a little confused and said hesitantly.
"This picture shows your support!"
Li Shimin patted his shoulder and laughed and said,
"I have never shied away from anything. I was able to ascend the throne as emperor, and you, Xu Aiqing, played the most important role! You are the most important person in supporting me!"
Xu Fenglei: “@#￥%……&*@”
What is not taboo?
Come on, let's talk about what Yuchi Gong did in Liangyi Palace on the night of the fourth day of June...
Although he was complaining in his heart, he still nodded repeatedly with a look of surprise and a bit of emotion in his expression.
This expression fell in Li Er's eyes, and he was naturally very satisfied.
Wow!
At this moment, the second painting is also opened.
This picture is not in the court hall, but right outside the familiar gate of Chang'an City.
In the painting, Xu Fenglei is sitting in front of a frying pan, laughing while holding a golden locust and handing it to the emperor in front of him.
"Can you understand this picture clearly?"
Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled,
"This picture is to commend you for your success in controlling locusts! Since the invention of your method of frying locusts, superstitions and myths have been dispelled, and the people of Chang'an have been catching locusts! Now, frying has become a cooking business and Chang'an Street. Delicious food can be found everywhere!”
"Since this year, locusts have disappeared!"
"To eliminate this great harm for the Tang Dynasty, Ai Qing has indeed made a great contribution!"
Xu Fenglei smiled casually.
"The method of frying adult insects can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The locust plague did not happen again this year, just because the winter was cold enough and many of the eggs hidden in the soil were frozen to death."
He said seriously,
"If we really want to make locusts extinct, we have to treat the root cause and kill them at the source."
"For example, when there are no crops in winter, you need to dig up the soil frequently to dig out insect eggs in the soil; or if you raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry scattered in the field, they will naturally look for insect eggs as snacks."
"In this case, if the eggs are all destroyed, how can locusts become a climate again?"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Okay, okay, well said, really well said!"
He repeatedly touched his palms and praised,
"Look, based on your words, it's no exaggeration to say that you are the first expert in controlling locusts in history!"
"This picture deserves its name!"
After admiring the second picture, I quickly followed up with the third picture.
The scene changed and it turned into a school. On the desks, the back figures of several princes and princesses are painted very realistically.
In front of the podium, Xu Fenglei held a scripture in his hand and looked at the disciples with a serious expression, as if he were a famous teacher.
"This third skill is naturally the skill of enlightenment!"
Li Shimin said again,
"The fact that my princes can become as outstanding and worry-free as they are now is inseparable from the sincere teachings of your master!"
"Especially Prince Cheng Qian. I have witnessed his changes with my own eyes. I am very relieved to see him step by step from an ignorant boy to now being able to even help me with some simple government affairs!"
Xu Fenglei touched his nose.
He was okay in taking care of the children, but this picture was a bit seriously distorted.
I never stick to formality when teaching. Over the years, I have never taught in a classroom as seriously as in the picture...
However, the paintings are also for the convenience of everyone's understanding. It is normal to have more artistic processing, as long as the meaning is in place.
Wow!
Just as I was thinking about it, the fourth painting was already unfolding.
The scene changed again, from the lecture hall to the vast grassland.
I saw Xu Fenglei wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, with his horse rising up high, as if he was about to soar into the sky!
Where the sword pointed in his hand, a Turkic barbarian was kneeling. At first glance, he looked very similar to Jieli Khan.
"You can teach, you can also fight!"
Li Shimin pointed to the fourth painting and praised,
"What's this called? It's called Wen Neng's writing to bring peace to the world, and Wu Neng's horse riding to settle the world!"
"I asked you to go out to conquer the Turks. Not only did you win a great victory, but you actually captured Jieli Khan! Tell me, tell me, how can I praise you?"
"To describe you as a hero of the country and a pillar of the country, you are truly worthy of your name! My dear friends, don't you think so?"
He turned his eyes to the ministers and the generals on the other side.
"Yes Yes Yes."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes..."
"Your majesty is wise and his comments are just right..."
All the ministers and generals agreed one after another, looking at Xu Fenglei with their eyes filled with deep envy and jealousy.
When will they also have this honor, being pulled by the emperor's sleeves and looking at their great achievements in the past, then it will be worth dying suddenly on the spot!
Although the body is dead, the name has been hung on bamboo and silk!
"It's passed. Your Majesty praised you too much. I'm flattered..."
Xu Fenglei was a little embarrassed by Li Er's words, and even said,
"Eat the king's salary and share the king's worries."
"Since I receive the emperor's orders and eat the emperor's food, I should do things well."
If he continues to praise him, he will soon be praised and killed!
You know, the higher you stand, the harder you fall...
"Listen, listen, this is the awakening of the pillar of the country."
Li Shimin clicked his tongue and said,
"If all the people in the world have the consciousness of loving you, why worry about the Tang Dynasty not being prosperous?"
"Xu Aiqing, I will reward you well and reward you heavily!"
"Say it! What do you want? As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Fenglei with burning eyes, looking expectant and even a little nervous.
Sometimes, the tacit understanding between two people can communicate with each other with just one look or a micro-expression.
As the saying goes, as soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you are going to fart.
Li Shimin's expression changed like this, and Xu Fenglei immediately understood.
Hey, these piles of "ppt" are not for nothing, and the emperor's rainbow farts are not for nothing.
"Your Majesty, I have received the best reward."
Xu Fenglei cupped his hands and said,
"These four pictures, as well as His Majesty's evaluation of me, are a great reward. How dare I ask for any other reward?"
When Li Shimin heard this, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes instantly relaxed, and the little bit of nervousness disappeared.
Good boy, you really understand!
Although he was happy in his heart, Li Er still pretended to be on the surface, shaking his head and saying:
"Huh? How is that possible?"
"No, no!"
"You have accomplished such a great feat. These are just verbal praises for you. These are all false. The actual rewards have not yet been implemented!"
"I am by no means a king of small things. Just tell me! As long as you ask, I will give you everything!"
The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth raised slightly.
"Is it false? I don't think so."
He said seriously,
"The so-called hustle and bustle in the world is all about fame and fortune."
"High officials and generous salaries, your Majesty has already given enough ministers, so your Majesty gave the ministers names this time."
"Whether it is that monument or these four paintings, they are enough to make my name go down in history. With His Majesty's praise, I may even be famous forever! How can such a reputation be achieved by ordinary people?"
"Your Majesty has given me such a great reputation. I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude!"
After saying that, he bowed again.
"Oh...my dear, please get up, please get up."
Li Shimin hurriedly helped him up and sighed,
"I am so relieved that my beloved can understand my thoughts!"
"Where is Mr. Li?"
"I'm here." The man sitting next to him came forward holding the scroll.
"Don't waste your pen and ink on today's events. Record everything for me. Don't miss anything."
Li Shimin ordered,
"I want Xu Aiqing's name to be forever recorded in the history books of our Tang Dynasty, and I want him to shine in the annals of history!"
"According to the order." Qi Julang responded and slowly took a few steps back.
Then, he started to pick up his pen and started writing quickly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Fenglei cupped his hands in thanks and said immediately,
"Your Majesty, I have wasted too much time on my own."
"The triumphant army is still waiting by the Weishui River, and Jieli Khan is also waiting for your review."
My own limelight is almost over, so I have to change the scene quickly.
"Oh, yes, yes-"
Li Shimin nodded and said,
"Ask them all to come over!"
As soon as he waved, Li Jing, Yu Chigong and other generals on the other side reacted quickly, leading their horses and crossing the Weishui Bridge in a mighty manner.
"See Your Majesty!"
"General, I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"..."
The generals bowed respectfully to the emperor.
The soldiers behind him knelt down in large numbers, and the momentum was huge.
The people who gathered around the gate of the city were all amazed:
"Our Emperor is so majestic! So many soldiers and horses, all kneeling down towards him! Tsk... So majestic!"
"Hey, that's natural. Don't look at who our Majesty is? He was the King of Qin back then! The first God of War in the Tang Dynasty! But after this battle, the title of God of War will be given to Taishi Xu."
"Ah? Why is this?"
"You are stupid! Didn't you see that scene just now? His Majesty the Emperor almost praised Taishi Xu as a flower, and even flattered him! What is the reason for this? Isn't it because Taishi Xu has done so much! This time The battle with him not only destroyed the Turks, but I heard that Jieli Khan was also captured alive!"
"Capture the Turkic Khan alive? Darling, Master Xu is so awesome!"
"Huh huh... look, this isn't the main event yet. The great show will be when the Turkic Khan comes out tied up with five flowers!"
"..."
The common people were whispering among each other, and if Brother Dong spoke loudly, he would naturally attract everyone's attention.
Some people couldn't help but ask:
"That Turkic Khan, is he the one who came to invade Chang'an three years ago?"
"Of course it's him!"
"Is it true? I heard that Jieli Khan was born with supernatural powers. Even ten strong men could not hold him down. How could Taishi Xu, with his thin body, capture him alive?"
"...Brute strength is of no use? You rely on your brains to fight, do you understand? Then Jieli Khan's ten brains combined are not enough for our Taishi Xu, who has one brain. Is it difficult to understand that he was captured alive? With you, a pig My brain can’t explain it, so just shut up and just watch! My words will come true soon.”
"Can't you just talk nicely? Why do you have to curse..."
The noise at the city gate became more and more noisy, and the guards who maintained order did not stop them. They just stopped them from standing in the designated area and watching.
Today, what the emperor wants is excitement and everyone wants to know!
"No gift."
Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the many soldiers in front of him, and said in a deep voice,
"You are all heroes in this battle!"
"I will not treat you badly! I will not lose all the military merits and rewards of all the soldiers who went on the expedition, and I will grant you the title of wife and son!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers looked excited.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Countless soldiers shouted long live and kowtowed to the emperor.
Isn't that what we fight to the death for?
"Tonight, I will reward the three armies!"
Li Shimin smiled and waved, saying,
"After you return to camp, you are allowed to drink and have fun."
"Get ready and wait for the carnival at night!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldiers looked at me and I looked at you. They were all gearing up and overjoyed.
The jubilant atmosphere suddenly rose.
However, some people are happy while others are sad. The joy of the Tang army was based on the suffering of the Turks.
Crash.
The heavy shackles were unlocked, and Jieli Khan squatted inside the cage, his eyes white and looking dull.
He suddenly felt explosive cheers coming from around him, which made him frown and cover his ears subconsciously.
Human beings' joys and sorrows are not connected. He only feels noisy and irritable.
"Jieli Khan, please."
Yuchi Gong opened the door of the prison cage and said with a smile,
"Cheer up, you can see our Majesty now."
Jie Li: "..."
Bang bang bang!
When Yuchi Gong saw that he didn't respond, his smile instantly faded and he threw the chain on the wooden prison door.
"Hey Hey hey!"
He said displeasedly,
"Are you deaf?"
"Get off!"
After that, Yuchi Gong didn't wait for Jie Li's reaction, stepped onto the prison car, grabbed his arm, and pulled him out of the prison car.
"ah!"
Jieli stumbled and fell to the ground.
He was about to get up, but was pushed to the ground by Yu Chigong.
"This position is good, just kneel like this."
Yuchi Gong said coldly,
"Kneel down and worship Your Majesty!"
There was a bit of anger in Jieli's eyes. He wanted to struggle, but the big hands on his shoulders were harder. There were even a few more hands holding him down at this moment!
"Your Majesty, the Turkic Jieli Khan is here!"
Yuchi Gong reported loudly to Li Shimin.
His voice resounded through the clouds, allowing all the subjects in the room to hear it!
And sure enough, when everyone heard the words "Turkic Jieli Khan", there was a commotion in the crowd.
Countless eyes fell on Jie Li.
"Is this Jieli Khan? The mouth of the Turks...the eagle on the grassland?"
"Look, why do you look like a drowned rat? Turkic barbarians are really good at boasting, hahaha..."
"Hey, as the saying goes, a phoenix without its feathers is not as good as a chicken. This eagle is nothing! If we catch it, it will be plucked, stewed in a pot, fried or deep-fried. ! Everybody follow us!”
"Yes, stew him, stew him!"
