The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

In 618 AD, on November 20th, King Wu Li Changqing beheaded Jieli Khan and 30,000 Turkic warriors at the east gate of Chang'an to sacrifice the king's flag!

The world is shaken, and Yi and Di are terrified!

When the people heard this, their blood boiled with excitement, and they wished they could join the army immediately to kill the enemy and serve the country!

When the corrupt scholars heard this, they were all filled with indignation and cursed Li Changqing for being cruel and cruel!

Tai Chi Hall.

Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair, with civil and military officials standing on the left and right in the court hall below.

Since Li Changqing was in Chang'an, Li Shimin did not dare to continue placing Li Yuan under house arrest, so he was able to return to court.

For the sake of his second son's life, Li Yuan not only chose not to tell Li Changqing about Li Shimin's murder of his brother and forced him into the palace, but also took the initiative to cover up some details for him.

Today's court meeting is different from usual.

Above the main hall, two people were sitting.

On the right side of Li Yuan, there is also a dragon chair.

On the dragon chair, Li Changqing was wearing an imperial crown, sitting upright with a majestic face!

Although he is not wearing a battle armor, he is a little less domineering, but he is wearing an imperial crown and exudes a majestic air!

The aura on his body even suppressed Li Yuan next to him!

Today, the two saints are coming to court!

One country and two masters, located above the court at the same time.

At the beginning of the court meeting, a censor immediately stepped forward and said:

"I have something to say! King Wu killed 30,000 Turkic prisoners outside the east city gate. This move goes against education and is too cruel."

After the censor finished speaking, another censor immediately jumped out and said with a pitiful expression:

"I second the motion! Killing prisoners is not what a benevolent king would do! After saying that

, another official from the Ministry of Rites said plausibly:

"I second the motion! Since 30,000 Turkic soldiers have surrendered, they should not be killed."

Li Yuan's face was furious. Just when he was about to reprimand the three officials, Li Changqing spoke first.

He said coldly:"The Turks are the great enemy of the country! Why not kill!"

The censor felt the indifference in Li Changqing's words, but still raised his head and said with a righteous face:

"Although the Turks are barbarians, they are also humans! Confucius said: Where there is education, there is no distinction.

Since King Wu had captured those 30,000 Turkic warriors, how could he kill them all just because they were Turks?

This move is too cruel and the way of a benevolent king!

Li Changqing sneered and said,"How dare you speak benevolently in the face of enemies?" Turks, jackals! Repeatedly violated the border and besieged Chang'an.

Not only do I want to kill these 30,000 captives, I even want to lead a large army into the desert to exterminate all their clans in order to frighten the barbarians from all directions!"

The censor was still waiting to speak, but Li Changqing didn't give him a chance.

Looking at the two censors and an official from the Ministry of Etiquette who came out with justice on their faces and killed 30,000 Turkic prisoners, they shouted:

"At the border, if you say that the Turks can be civilized and that killing Turk prisoners is too cruel and unbenevolent, the soldiers and civilians at the border will definitely tear you apart.

The three of you occupy the moral high ground and use this to accuse others of being cruel and unkind. It is really full of hypocrisy!

Come here, strip these three people of their official uniforms, take them to the sky prison, and interrogate them severely!

People who care about the Turks in this way are not worthy of being officials of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, the three officials were horrified, their eyes full of shock, and they hurriedly looked at Li Yuan

"Your Majesty, I am the Censor, and it is my duty to advise Your Majesty!"

Li Yuan said calmly:"King Wu turned the tide and saved Chang'an from the crisis of city destruction. You are criticizing King Wu for killing prisoners, which is not his duty. In fact, as King Wu said, he is full of hypocrisy and hypocrisy.

The Turks are ambitious, their hands are stained with the blood of our Han people, and they talk about benevolence, justice and morality with the Turks. What they do is corrupt Confucianism, which is beyond stupidity!"

While the three officials were still waiting to defend themselves, several Taiji Palace guards came over, stripped off their official uniforms, and then pressed them to the prison for interrogation.

Li Shimin, who was standing at the head of the civil servants, saw this situation, his eyes kept flickering, No one knew what he was thinking.

After such an episode in the court, all the civil and military officials looked at Li Changqing with fear in their eyes.

Li Changqing didn't seem to care about the criticism of the world or the records in history books. He even remonstrated with his emperor. History, they were all taken down on the spot!

The court meeting continued.

However, the court meeting with two saints made the civil and military officials in the court feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, today's court meeting ended in a hurry after not lasting long.

……

Duan Mansion.

The four generals of the Qin Palace, Chai Shao, Zhang Liang, Zhang Gongjin and Tang Jian, all met at Duan Zhixuan's mansion.

The five people drank wine, all looking sad.

Chai Shao drank with his eyes red, and said drunkenly:"King Wu is too strong and domineering. When he was still the general of Tiance, His Majesty decreed that Princess Pingyang should be married to me. Because of his power, my father committed suicide. Forced, I would rather resist the decree than let me marry the eldest princess of Pingyang."

Zhang Gongjin drank half a bowl of wine in one gulp and sighed:"King Wu never failed in his battles on the battlefield. The Turks who roamed the desert often suffered heavy losses in his hands. Loss.

In the Battle of Chang'an, he flooded the 180,000 Turkic army, defeated the Turkic invasion in one fell swoop, and rescued Chang'an from danger. The people of Chang'an, even the Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Guard, respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

Today, he He sacrificed the heads of Jieli Khan and 30,000 Turkic captives to the flag, swore an oath to go out into the desert, flattened the Turks, and sealed the wolf as a slave.

To be honest, I am very much looking forward to it!"

Duan Zhixuan sighed and said,"We will follow. King Qin, who is an enemy of King Wu, does not know whether it is right or wrong, and what will happen to him in the future."

His words shocked the hearts of all the generals of King Qin's palace present.

Being an enemy of King Wu is really a terrifying thing!

Hou Junji was beheaded by Li Shimin!

Compared with King Wu, Li Shimin seems to be inferior in all aspects.

Suddenly, their hearts began to waver for the first time

……

November 21st, Chen hour.

Li Changqing gathered his troops outside the city and led 15,000 dragon cavalry guards from Chang'an to kill in the desert and join Li Jing's 100,000 Mo sword guards.

In this battle, Li Changqing aimed to defeat the Turks in one fell swoop and to divide the entire Monan into the territory of the Tang Dynasty!

From then on, the south of the desert belonged to the Tang Dynasty, and was a land for the people of the Tang Dynasty to herd cattle, sheep and horses!

The army went out to fight, and the smoke was everywhere.

The rumble of horse hooves sounded, and 15,000 dragon cavalry guards headed north, heading straight into the desert.

They carried with them the heads of Jieli Khan and 30,000 captives!

Li Changqing wanted to build a giant Beijing temple with these human heads on Langjuxu Mountain to intimidate the Turks and barbarians from all directions.

Let them know that those who dare to invade the Tang Dynasty will only die!

In other words, Li Changqing wants to convey this message: Don't mess with me, anyone who messes with me will die.
