In the third year of Xianqing (658 AD), November 25, at eight o'clock.

In the southeast corner of Chang'an Imperial City, where the Tang Dynasty Taimiao is located, a ceremony of prisoners is being held. In the square outside the temple, all civil and military officials in court were wearing formal court robes. The heads of the Taiwei Changsun Wuji and Sikong Li Ji were lined up according to the size of the official position. Foreign monarchs and envoys were specially invited guests and ranked according to the strength of each country.

From the gate of Taimiao to the gate of the temple temple, the personal soldiers on duty in the Western Expedition. The guards of Suying and Wuying stood on the east and west sides of the east and west sides. The square of hundreds of people was without any sound, and it was filled with solemnity and solemnity.

Mei Niang was wearing a robe and Li Jiu was wearing a robe and a crown, standing at the entrance of the Taimiao. The gold-jewelry crown hangs twelve white beads, which blocked the eyes like a door curtain. Are you not afraid of falling when walking? The red and black black black robe, the red and yellow robe, the color is like the afterglow of the sunset. The embroidered with twelve chapter patterns, which are twelve patches, which look very funny.

The three chapters of the sun, moon and stars are drawn with the meaning of the illumination: the golden crow is painted in the sun, and the toad is painted in the moon. Five circles are connected to represent the stars, which resembles the Olympic symbol; the mountain chapter is the mountains, which is determined by its stability and calmness; the dragon chapter is the shape of the dragon, which is the magical and changeable; the Huazhezi is the flower and pheasant, which is the meaning of its literary color, and the remaining flowers are added with pheasants, why is it so funny?

Zong Yizhang is a tiger and a monkey, which means offering sacrifices and filial piety; algae is a water algae, which means its cleanliness; fire is a flame, which means its brightness; pink rice is a white rice, which means its nourishment; red chapter is a black and white axe shape, which means cutting and decisiveness; white chapter is a black and blue "some" shape, which means its distinction and observation, and its destiny and decisiveness.

Such grand clothes, toads, monkeys, and pheasants, you are not the emperor, you are clearly the leader of the Beggars' Sect. Wu Kang bit his back teeth, forced his smile, and forced himself to empty his consciousness. In such an occasion, he would definitely fall to the ground, recall the past decisively, divert his sight and mind.

In Shiguo, Su Dingfang broke his promise and refused to allow him to return to Beijing early. The old man of sixty-five was still a teacher, and Wu Kang had no choice but to learn a lot. He dealt with post-war affairs with him every day. Lao Su was right, military affairs were not separated, and political affairs were also military.

On April 1st, the third day of the army returned to the court and set out from the Western Regions of Suiye City. The team was in a vast army. The battle was like a gluttonous snake, the army was like peeling onions, and it was like a train returning. At various stations along the way, the soldiers of the government got off the train and said goodbye to the troops and went home to farm.

The march was getting faster and faster, and from Longyou to Guanwei, there were only 10,000 troops left. Entering the territory of Yongzhou, there were only 2,000 soldiers left. At noon on the eighth day of November, he arrived at Liquan County (Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, Liquan County) and received an order from the court.

The army was temporarily stationed, waiting for civil and military officials to perform prisoner ceremony in Zhaoling. The so-called Zhaoling was the tomb of Emperor Taizong of Tang, built on Jiuji Mountain. Empress Wende Changsun, many princesses and important officials, were buried nearby hills.

According to the traditional ritual system, the offer of enemy chiefs and prisoners of war was usually carried out in the Taimiao. However, Taizong had many regrets, such as the Western Regions were not settled, the Goguryeo was not destroyed, etc. Li Jiu was a filial child. In order to make up for Lao Tzu's regret, the prisoner offering ceremony was moved to Zhaoling. At the same time, it was also to prove that my son was no worse than Lao Tzu. I was destroyed by the Western Turks and my territory was larger than you.

In his previous life, Wu Kang visited Zhaoling and the most impressive one was Princess Changle’s tomb and Princess Xincheng’s tomb. I couldn’t help but think that Xincheng, since the execution ground was escaped, the two of them had never met again. In fact, this is good, after all, they all have families, and Changsun Quan will not die suddenly, and there is no need to see each other again.

On November 15th, all officials arrived at Zhaoling and the ceremony of offering prisoners began. Su Dingfang was wearing military uniforms and Wu Kang was wearing Mingguang armor, leading Ashina Helu and entering Zhengling from Xuanwu Gate. After the ceremony, Li Jiu did not kill Helu in Zhaoling, and probably was still in the market.

The Zhaoling prisoner offering ended, and the harvest was full of questions. Among the civil and military officials, two familiar faces were: Li Yifu, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Du Zhenglun. They were both prime ministers, and they were absent from the prisoner offering ceremony. Something must have happened. Find time to consult Mei Niang, what kind of demon is the despicable cadre of Li Yifu?

However, the female president was very busy and could not meet until he entered Chang'an. At the same time, he received bad news. Li Jiu felt that Zhaoling was not satisfied and wanted to offer prisoners in Taimiao. Wu Kang expressed his understanding that after you ascended the throne, you have to brag about it.

On the day the army entered the city, Li Jiuchengmen welcomed him, and the people welcomed him together. Wu Kang was in a lack of interest, which was the teacher’s credit. I was just a so-called man. When I was the leader of the marching, I became the main character of the cheered one, and then enjoy it.

When he was bored, among the melon-eating crowd, he locked in Xiaoqing and Nao Nao, and his mood suddenly improved. Nao Nao waved his hand enthusiastically, and Xiaoqing was about to cry, and his eyes moved with his husband. Wu Kang wanted to maintain his military appearance, but he blinked slightly, but looked ahead helplessly.

Staying in the Youtun Guard, preparing to offer prisoners in Taimiao, something terrible happened. Mei Niang sent Baliang to question: Why are he fighting in the formation and why do he treat my words as wind in his ears?

Wu Kang was frightened and gritted his teeth in hatred, and angrily criticized Chu Shenke: Killing the traitor of Qiandao, and traitoring the bastard, do you want to kill me? You must cut off your robe and make a decision.

Old Chu felt very wronged, don’t cut his robe, and there were tens of thousands of eyes on the battlefield. Even if I didn’t report, she could find out. Wu Kang was furious and decided to take revenge. One hundred and eight brothers were killed, and you should make the spiritual seat by yourself. You must do it yourself, and you must not be missing one piece, otherwise you will be nice.

Chu Shenke promised and promised his promise that he would definitely not be able to do anything. Wu Kang's scalp was numb, and he racked his brains to find a way to get through it. He prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and even asked his teacher for help, asking him to be a guest lobbyist. The old fox was out of the matter, and it was difficult for the honest official to make a decision, so I would definitely not participate.

The heavy footsteps pulled him back to reality, and subconsciously looked at the temple gate. Mei Niang was dignified and elegant, with a solemn and serious expression, and her eyes were not squinting. Wu Kang sighed and looked over according to the voice. Qianniuwei escorted He Lu and appeared at the gate of the square.

He Luru is walking corpse, struggling and struggling, and needs the support of a guard. Before, he was black hair, countless silver threads appeared, and his face was covered with wrinkles. On the way back to Beijing, he was silent all day, holding his knees and sitting in a prison cart, trembling all over. He ate three pancakes every day, and often had nightmares, and was skinny and bone-skinned.

With his current state, Wu Kang can be sure that he can't stand it for two years. He was a hero of a generation, but he fell into the current field, which is sad and merciful. Qianniu Guard stopped, and Li Jie went out and shouted: "The General of the Right Guard, Su Dingfang, the guards of Xinglong Palace, and the warriors of the enemy were transformed, and they took the enemy chief He Lu forward."

With his current state, bet a little boy and support him forward. Wu Kang was grateful for Li Jiu's arrangements. Shi Guo arrested He Lu and completed it with Lao Xiao. Lao Xiao is the captain, so he should come to offer prisoners. Now I am showing my face, which is really interesting.

When He Lu arrived, Wu Kang supported his right arm, Su Dingfang supported his left arm, and stood in front of Li Jiu. He knelt down with his master and apprentice raised his head and chest, guarding both sides. Yu Guang secretly glanced at Mei Niang, but still looked at him without squinting, and his heart became more and more miserable.

Li Jiu brushed his sleeves and said lightly: "Asina Helu, the former Yipi Shekui, chased you and the three tribes of Zhishedi. You are desperate and surrendered to our Tang Dynasty and seek protection from Taizong. Taizong comforted and treated him well. When he attacked Kucha, he appointed you as the general manager of the Kunqiu Road march."

Speaking of this, Long Yan was angry and his voice was cold: "Before the guards set off the war, they feasted in Jiashou Hall and gave you generous rewards. The rewards were taken off their holy robe, put on your body, and saw you off in person, right?"

He Lu showed shame on his face, his lips squirmed for a long time, and he squeezed out the word "yes". Li Jiu snorted coldly and continued to scold: "When Kucha is pacified, Taizong will give you two thousand tents, promote the Zuo Xiaowei General, Yaochi Governor, and settle your subordinates in Mohe City, Tingzhou. But you secretly attract the scattered people. After Taizong passed away, he led his troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. What crime should you do?"

Wu Kang secretly complained that this wolf's ambition was just a ungrateful wolf. Let's not talk nonsense, the big knife in my waist was already hungry and thirsty. He Lu's shamefulness continued to surge, and his throat kept surging and accusing him intermittently: "He Lu's sins are serious. I ask Your Majesty for punishment, and I dare not complain."

This is like a human saying. Li Jiu turned around and walked slowly up the steps. According to the etiquette system, only the emperor could open the gate of the Taimiao. The rest of the people were at the steps, with awe, facing the main gate of the Taimiao, and performing solemn and scrupulous manners.

Mei Niang followed the routine and stood beside Kang Lang, straightening her tall waist. However, in less than ten seconds, she stopped playing according to the routine and Wu Kang's suffering came. Under the dark blue silk shirt, she stepped on her toes with gold jewelry.

The so-called shoe is heavy wooden shoes, the most noble shoes in ancient times, which can only be worn by the emperor and the queen. With naked revenge, Wu Kang gritted his teeth and did not let the vocal cords pronounce. Unlucky old ladies, this is a ceremony for prisoners, and it is at the entrance of the Taimiao. Can we be more serious?

And the damn Li Jiu, his awe for his ancestors comes from the heart. Don’t bow anymore. Formalism is not enough. Open the door quickly and flop. The painful sweat broke out on his forehead. In the endless torment, Li Jiu finally stopped bowing.

Slowly push open the Taimiao door, open the east fan first, then open the west fan. Stand outside the threshold, bow three times again, and then slowly turn around. If conditions permit, Wu Kang will definitely draw his sword and rush forward to chop him. You did it on purpose.

The power of pressing the toes has disappeared; the pain of the toes continues. Mei Niang walked up the steps, stood beside Li Jiu, turned around and looked around without squinting. Wu Kang took a breath, helped Ashina Helu up, and walked with his toes, his steps were a little weird.

Su Dingfang turned his head and glared fiercely, with a look of worry. This is the ceremony of Taimiao prisoner offering, and no reason can be rude. If you are discovered by all officials in this posture, you will die without a place to die.

Wu Kang had no choice but to return to his normal posture, his toes touching the soles of his shoes, and it hurts like a heart-wrenching pain. He stepped up the steps and used his forefoots to force him, as if he was walking on a nail bed, and the taste was quite sour. The woman's revenge was so terrible!

Finally, he went to the front of the door and followed the emperor and the empress and slowly entered the temple. Li Jiu's Taimiao, Taizu was in a position of vain and was in a common temple system. Taizu lived in the middle, Zhao left and Mu on the right, Zhao son Mu on the father and son Mu. San Zhao was, Xuan Jian Duke Li Xi, Emperor Jing Li Hu, and Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, who were ranked on the left of Taizu; San Mu was, King Yi Li Tianxi, Emperor Yuan Li Bing, and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who were located on the right of the great master.

He Lu was very sensible and kowtowed to apologize, then was helped out. The master and apprentice carried him down the steps and posed for kneeling and worshiping. Then he went up the steps, closed the left and right temple gates, guarded both sides of the temple gate, and played the left and right gate gods.

About half an hour, the door slowly opened and the master walked out. The master and apprentice went down the steps and stood on the left and right of He Lu. The couple went down the steps and Li Jiu said lightly: "God has the virtue of being alive. I don't want to punish you. You live in Taipu Temple and think about your mistakes behind closed doors."

All civil and military officials in the square, as well as envoys from all countries, called Your Majesty merciful. Emperor Taizong captured Jie Li and arranged it to the Taifu. He Lu's old tears were everywhere, his lips kept shaking, and he couldn't say a word. Four Qianniu Guards came over and left with him to deal with it.

Wu Kang secretly complained that he was just a false benevolence and righteousness, but he couldn't last long with He Lu's state. The ceremony of offering prisoners was over. Everyone came to the front hall. Li Jiu rewarded him on his merits: "Su Lie made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, promoted to the General of the Left Xiaowei Guard, and was granted the title of Duke of Xing. His eldest son Su Qingjie was awarded the title of Fengyu of Shangnian Bureau and was granted the title of Duke of Wuyi County."

I was thankful and looked grateful. I not only promoted myself, but also benefited my descendants. Wu Kang was also very happy. The General of Zuo Xiaogu is taller than the General of Youtun Guard. His mentor, who was late to become a master, finally received the favor of Li Jiu and was about to usher in a cheating life.

The Shangnian Bureau Fengyu was in charge of the fifth rank, and was in charge of Li Jiu's carriage. He was also a captain of the driver. The county magistrate was not out of the way, and he was in the second rank, with a fief of 1,500 households. According to the custom of the Tang Dynasty, the fief of 1,500 was a false title, and at most it was a real seal of 200 households.

Li Jiu glanced at Wu Kang, and a joke flashed in his eyes: "Wu Kang was the vanguard of the attack on Chu Mukun's army, and he charged at the forefront. When fighting with the bandits, he was shot through his right earlobe by a crossbow arrow, which was less than half an inch away. I will lose the warrior."

Before he finished speaking, the temperature dropped, Wu Kang's scalp was numb. He glanced at Mei Niang with a cold face, and seemed to be gritting his teeth. Li Jiu, who killed thousands of swords, you should be careful and say what to do. Hurry up and bowed, his eyes were full of prayers, let's change the topic.

Li Jiu ignored the deaf ears and continued to cheat people's cause: "When the decisive battle was fought by Yi Yanhe, Wu Kang was on the front line, defending the western front of the formation. He fought side by side with the guards, assassinated the thieves with a spear, and was injured again on his left shoulder. The wound was less than half an inch away from his neck, which was extremely dangerous."

All the officials whispered to each other, and Changsun Wuji opened his eyes and felt incredible. Su Ding was relieved, and Li Jie looked at him with admiration. He was not only brave and good at fighting, but also had a strategic vision. He returned the Nishu women for free, laying a solid foundation for the victory of the Western Expedition. I wanted to accept him as my disciple, but Su Dingfang took the lead. It was very regrettable.

I felt that the temperature dropped again, Mei Niang's pretty face was frozen, and Wu Kang begged even more. Please change the topic. A black-hearted bastard, if you are bullied by Mei Niang, you will be in trouble and will lead me to share the firepower. Just be appointed as an official, don't describe the details, don't talk too much nonsense.

Li Jiu was deeply moved, his eyes flashed strangely, and he continued to trick his brother-in-law: "When Wu Kang was in the decisive battle of Jinya Mountain, he was chased by He Lu's personal soldiers because of the scout's negligence. In order to hide our army's whereabouts, he fought wits and courage with the thieves, he was hit twice in the chest. Finally completing the task and ensuring the success of the raid, he was a great contribution."

All officials were all disdained. They were cut twice in their chests and could still jump around. Is this still a human being? Mei Niang's face was as deep as water, Wu Kang knelt down, and cold sweat fell on his forehead. I looked at Li Jiu poorly, I'm kneeling for you, so change the topic quickly.

The program was very effective, Li Jiu was quite satisfied and said lightly: "Wu Kang Gongzhong was in charge of the country, fought fiercely and did not fear death, and made countless military contributions. I was very relieved and promoted Qianniu to prepare for his body, rewarded Qianniu's sword, and the left commander was appointed as the Right Mansion."

Wu Kang really felt that it was enough to just say rewards, and everything in front of it was nonsense. I guess the damn Li Jiu was angry with Mei Niang and deliberately used me as a punching bag, suspected of revenge. He just stepped on me, but now he knows everything, how will he repair me? He really turned me into a eunuch?

Li Jiu suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Qianniu is ready for the body, under the sixth rank, holding the Qianniu sword in his hand, always keeping the monarch's side, is a great honor. Is your dear, despise your small official position, or I am unwilling to protect me?"

What a big hat, damn flop. Wu Kang denied it, resisted the impulse of cursing, and said with a righteous spirit: "It is my intention to repay you on the Golden Platform to support Yulong to die for you. As a guardian of the Tang Dynasty, killing enemies for your country and for your lord, it is my duty."

The hall was silent for a few seconds, Wuji sneered at it, and the officials looked strange. It was still the same martial arts, flattery, flattery, and swearing, the country was easy to change, but the nature was difficult to change. Su Dingfang looked up at the sky, Li Ji looked down at the ground, and Mei Niang rolled her eyes. Li Jiu was very embarrassed. Just say such stingy words in private.

Wu Kang exclaimed his anger and offered the captive gift. You and his wife took turns to take revenge on me. You must disgust you. You feel more comfortable and have a passionate voice again: "I have a reluctant request. There are a total of 108 people who went to the battle together. I will die on the battlefield. I want to set off immediately, send the spiritual position back to Wuzhou, comfort the family members of the robes, and ask Your Majesty for your kindness."

All the ministers praised the Martial Rebellion, which was a model of relatives. Li Jiu knew it well, and his brother-in-law wanted to escape, but he didn't have any. Since the queen learned that you were charging on the battlefield, she blamed me a lot, and if you ran away, who would suffer for me?

Li Jiu shook his head decisively and said lightly: "Your caring is sacrificed for the country. The court will deal with it and will not treat them badly. You stay in the capital and register at the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible, and go to the left and right offices to serve. The ceremony of offering prisoners is over, and all the beloved ministers are exhausted. Let's go back and rest."

说完迈步离开,昂首挺胸的样子,表情相当欠揍.媚娘亦步亦趋,没有任何表示,却有浓浓怨气.百官鱼贯离开,苏定方拉爱徒起来,轻轻拍他肩膀,给予无声安慰.

Wu Kang almost burst into tears, followed the officials and secretly cursed Li Jiu's ancestors. After leaving Taimiao, he hid behind the team and ran to An to the door. He had made up his mind to go home to visit his wife and daughter first, and then find a place to hide. After waiting for ten days and half a month, my aunt would be relieved and then take the thorns to apologize.

He ran to the city gate in one breath and saw Baliang and Siqian, and was immediately struck by lightning. The two of them came and bowed to their salutes. Baliang laughed and said, "The Queen ordered me to invite Kanglang to have tea. Please go with Nunu."

After a complete death, he took a hard step and followed the two of them. He left the Chang'an Imperial City and walked on the unfamiliar street. He smiled and said with a smile: "Sister Baliang, we have had close contact. Can you tell me in a low voice, where are you going?"

Siqian covered his mouth and laughed, Baliang was a serious matter: "The fun place is a leather whip and candle, mountain delicacies and seafood. There are also a large wooden bed, four iron chains, and strange knives. Our queen said that we must fulfill our promise and keep you by our side forever."

Wu Kang was dumbfounded, and the strange scenes were in his mind: lying on a wooden bed, his hands and feet were tied with iron chains, Mei Niang was holding a weird knife...
Chapter completed!
