After the last three days of confinement, Li Mu finally regained his freedom and just happened to be the sacrificial sacrifice to the Taimiao. As the founding marquis of the third rank, Li Mu naturally had his place. And his position was quite high. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were the most titles of "Duke" because there were too many people who made great contributions. The second was the son, the man, and the marquis had the least.

As a marquis, Li Mu happened to be in the middle of the queue, and was located in the middle of the queue. When Li Mu looked back, he saw that none of the viscount Barons following him were younger than him, while those in front were younger than him, such as Li Shimin's sons, and the rest were all older than him.

Chengtian Gate opened wide, and the queues entered one after another. Then, Li Shimin brought all the officials to the Taimiao, climbed the Shuntian Tower, and displayed the guards of the ceremonial guards. The people rushed over and blocked the Chengtian Gate so hard that even if they couldn't see it, they were waiting to listen to the sound. Although ancient craftsmen did not know anything like sound waves, they actually made the original "multiphone" with their genius wisdom. As long as Li Shimin stood in a specific position, his voice could be expanded, and it would be no problem to be heard for several miles.

The imperial guards escorted Jie Li Khan to come. Li Mu secretly glanced at him and saw that although Jie Li was dressed cleanly and was also in Khan's clothes, his whole body seemed to have lost his soul, his face was sallow, and he no longer had the spirit of being in the Turkic tent. Li Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Jie Li was also a hero of a generation. Since he became the Khan of the Turkic Khan, he unified the Turkic tribes and allowed the Turkic tribes to reach the most prosperous time in a century. He repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, forcing Li Shimin to endure humiliation and sign the Weishui Alliance. If he could be more courageous, perhaps the Tang Dynasty would no longer exist.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Today, the Turks have been destroyed. Jie Li did not have the courage to die for his country and became a prisoner of Li Shimin. The escorted journey was under the gaze of the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, and his heart should be more uncomfortable than death.

As Li Mu thought, the imperial guards had already knelt in front of Li Shimin with Jie Li. Li Shimin waved his hand gently and said, "Although Jie Li was defeated, he should not be humiliated and loosened."

When the imperial guards heard this, they loosened their ties, and Jie Li worshipped the ground and did not dare to look up.

Li Shimin looked down at this former strong enemy and felt relieved. After enduring humiliation for many years, all the hostility in his heart has dissipated. It is this feeling! The strong enemy is destroyed and the country is in hand. This is the emperor, and this is the emperor!

Although Li Shimin wanted to draw his sword and kill Jie Li's head, he had discussed with important officials in the court many times over the past few days, and Jie Li should not be killed. Because although the Turkic country was destroyed, there was still a large population of Turkic people in the Western Regions. If Jie Li was killed, there would be no leader. These scattered Turkic people dismounted as people, and they would rush to hinder the border, and it would be difficult to manage them. Moreover, there was a Xue Yantuo in the north of the Mo River, so they had to gather these Turkic people and control them as the Pingfu in the Central Plains. These things must be used as the Khan of Jie Li.

Therefore, Jie Li should not be killed, and he should be treated well.

But even so, the king who destroyed the country and the general who defeated the army would inevitably suffer some humiliation. Even if Li Shimin was generous and unwilling to do such a thing, he must do it now. Everyone in the Weishui Alliance knew that he had to take care of his face and give an explanation to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "You have five crimes: in the past, your father's country was destroyed and he was able to survive on the Sui Dynasty. But when the Sui Dynasty was in trouble, you did not help the power of your troops, which led to the destruction of the Sui Dynasty. This is one; I was neighbors and betrayed my faith and invaded the border. This is the second; I have been fighting for years and have caused the tribe to resent. This is the third; I plunder the people in my country and trampled on my crops. This is the fourth; I promise you to marry and escape. This is the fifth. It is not without reason. I want to kill you, but I have not forgotten the alliance on Wei. I do not want to be a person who has broken trust, so I do not want to blame you. I give you back to your family and save them from the suffering of being slaves. Choose fertile land in the suburbs and build a mansion for you. In the future, the government will provide you with money. I treat you well and hope you will do it yourself."

The voice spread and the people outside Chengtian Gate could hear it clearly. Although there were criticisms, they all praised Li Shimin for his broad mind and tolerance.

Jie Li cried in a hurry, but he just kept kowtowing. What he thought was unknown. An imperial guard took him down, and then Li Shimin burned his letter to comfort the ancestors of heaven and earth, and all officials also gave the ceremony. After a set of procedures, Li Mu was so tired that his back was sore.

Just when he thought it was about to end, a canopy was erected under the stairs, and Eunuch Gao sang, "Please respectfully the Supreme Emperor."

Everyone from Li Shimin bowed and bowed. The emperor carried Li Yuan to the stairs and stood at the place where Li Shimin just spoke. When Li Shimin saw Li Yuan, he suddenly twitched his nose and his eyes turned red. Li Mu was shocked when he saw this and thought to himself, could he be crying, is it? A man in his thirties cried? This drama is a bit too much!

The facts proved that he guessed it right. When Li Shimin saw Li Yuan, he cried with a whimper. He cried so hard that he was heartbreaking. He knelt on the ground and hugged Li Yuan's thighs, and tears fell: "Father, my son fulfilled his promise, destroyed his country, captured him, and he would be repaid with great revenge. He would finally face his father and ancestors!"

Li Yuan gently helped Li Shimin up. Facing the civil and military affairs of the court, the people outside Chengtian Gate said, "Dear your family and subjects, I feel very relieved today. My knot in Taimiao has been untied today. I am very happy! I have given birth to a good son who is worthy of being a great responsibility. I have not read the wrong person, he is a good emperor."

"There is one thing that I want to say to you today. When I passed the throne in the past, the people made a vow to never enter the Tai Chi Palace until I destroyed the Turks. Although I felt that it was a little nonsense, it was his filial piety after all, and it was also a kind of encouragement, so I agreed to him. Today, the Turks have been destroyed, Jie Li has surrendered, and the vow was fulfilled that day. I decided to move out of the Tai Chi Palace tomorrow and move to Da'an Palace to spend my old age."

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this and cried, "Father, is there any point in my son not fulfilling his filial piety?! I also ask the father to make it clear that his son should change it!"

"No, Tai Chi Palace is the emperor's bedroom. Since you have ascended the throne and become the emperor, you should live in Tai Chi Palace. I have decided my mind, so there is no need to discuss it."

Li Shimin said helplessly: "Since the father's determination is determined, the son dares not refuse to obey. The son should choose another blessed place to build a new palace for his father and welcome him to live!"

Li Yuan said angrily: "How can a king, who is the king, waste the people and lose money for his own selfishness? I don't know how much it costs to build a new palace. Today, I will settle down and recuperate. How can I repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty? You should humbly accept advice, practice rigorously, and encourage farming and sericulture. If the country is prosperous and the people are safe, I will see it, which is your greatest filial piety!"

Li Shimin admired the earth: "Son should follow the teachings of the father!"

The ministers shouted: "Abide by the emperor's instructions!"

The people outside Chengtian Gate shouted long live, but only Li Mu noticed that Li Yuan exchanged subtle eyes with Li Shimin and his son while talking.
