Li Shimin sat down on the platform and couldn't help but glance at Li Chengqian. He was not happy to see Li Chengqian's ugly face.

Directly signaling the Secretariat to come to Ji to read the order:

If you are awarded a meritorious position, you will be rewarded if you are not outstanding. Now that Xue Yantuo is destroyed, those who follow the Jiayuan and the military will be rewarded by the high-ranking accumulation.

Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard the imperial edict. Is this the meaning of rewarding merits?

Then I began to recite the list of meritorious soldiers.

King Li Ke of Wu, Minister of War Li Shiji, General Li Daliang of Right Guard, General Zhang Shigui of the Tunwei...

I originally thought that this congratulations were just a process of worshipping the envoys of the vassals on New Year's Day, but I didn't expect that Li Shimin would first give me a reward for his merits.

If it is said that Wang Qun is useless, when he was in Chang'an, Qiu Shenji had already monitored the Tai Chi Palace, and Li Chengqian could know what happened to Li Shimin.

Now Li Chengqian and Li Shimin live in the Lingzhou Governor's Office, but they know nothing about Li Shimin's reward for such great merits.

The most hateful thing is that when he heard that he would follow Li Shimin from south to north to attack generals, he would not get a special title for such middle and low-level generals. However, no matter how great the generals who followed Li Chengqian from north to south were promoted, he would not be promoted.

Li Chengqian's face became increasingly ugly, but Li Shimin was becoming happier. Especially when the official etiquette was announced and all the generals who were granted saluted him on the high platform, Li Shimin stood up from the throne and laughed.

Li Shimin walked forward a few steps and looked at the generals below saluted respectfully, waved his hand and said, "Everyone is calm."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldiers stood up.

"Haha..., I have such loyal and brave soldiers, how unfair the world is? How unfair the four barbarians are?..." Li Shimin delivered his speech excitedly, but his eyes floated toward the ugly face from time to time, and said to himself: Today I will let you know how to win people's hearts!

Of course, Li Shimin did not intend to let the generals of the Eastern Palace be completely disconnected from him. After all, they were all heroes of the Tang Dynasty. He just wanted to teach Li Chengqian a lesson and find some face.

So in the end, Li Shimin said in front of all the ministers: "The generals of the Eastern Palace chased the prince and made contributions. However, this time, the merit book was not reported in time and could not be enfeoffed together. I just waited to return to Chang'an to worship the Taimiao before enfeoffing."

Li Chengqian's face became even more ugly after hearing this. It was clear that because of Li Chengqian, you will not be banned for the time being.

After the meritorious soldiers were granted the title, the next item was to pay homage to the heads of each tribe to the Khan of Heaven.

The generals returned to the original train, and Li Shimin also returned to the throne, waiting for the leaders of the tribes to come to worship one by one.

The first to enter the courtyard were the leaders of various Turkic tribes. Among the three tribes outside the courtyard, the Turkic tribes surrendered the earliest, and this time the destruction of Xue Yantuo made great contributions, so Li Shimin first met them.

Seeing several leaders of the Turkic tribe walking in side by side, Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and said that he was saying that he was saying that he was doing good things, which caused another dispute among them.

"I will meet with Tian Khan!"

"presumptuous!"

Seeing that several Turkic leaders were still disheveled and covered in animal skins, and just bowed to Li Shimin, Li Chengqian could no longer bear it.

He took a step, angrily shouted, and looked at the faces of several Turkic leaders covered with frost.

When several Turkic leaders saw Li Chengqian, they were angry and threw all the etiquettes taught by the Ministry of Rites out of the sky. They hurriedly fell to the ground and gave Li Shimin a big gift.

But when Li Shimin saw this, his face was as deep as water, saying, "The prince must not be rude!"

Li Chengqian turned around, suppressed his anger and bowed to Li Shimin on the high platform and said, "I tell you that the father and the barbarian leaders are not polite, so my son taught me a lesson."

"It is no fault for His Royal Highness and the others to bow to the courtesy." The Secretariat Lai Ji walked out with a gloomy face.

Li Chengqian slowly turned around and looked at Lai Ji with contempt and shouted loudly: "Seeing the king bowing and holding his fists to salute, it is the tribute of my high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty. Open your eyes and see where they look like my high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty?"

Over the past year, more than ten thousand people have ordered the beheading of their heads, and the murderous aura on their bodies is extremely strong. At this time, a loud shout was as if a tiger roared into the mountains.

He scared Lai Ji to the point of his face pale, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"Your Highness, this..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince 'If you enter, you will be in China, and if you leave, you will be barbarians. Since they are attached to the Tang Dynasty, they should be treated as the people of the Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling had to stand up.

Li Chengqian was filled with anger when he heard this and said coldly: "Duke Liang, are you confused?"

Fang Xuanling was stunned and didn't expect that Li Chengqian would be so fierce now.

"The prince is rude and he won't retreat quickly!" Li Shimin quickly spoke out and suppressed Li Chengqian.

Today's ceremony was carefully designed by Li Shimin. In this life, he really can't see any more glorious moment than this one. How could he allow Li Chengqian to destroy it?

But Li Chengqian was also anxious. There were still big dramas to sing later. If we couldn’t explain the debate on the superiority and inferiority of China and the barbarians clearly, how would we sing the later dramas?

Li Chengqian didn't even reply and directly retorted Li Shimin, saying, "The father said he could accept advice, why did he order his son to retreat before he could speak?"

"You, you are rude to the ministers!" Li Shimin shouted angrily.

Li Chengqian pointed at Fang Xuanling and shouted: "This minister is incompetent."

Below, whether civil officials or military generals, they would take a breath of air conditioning when they heard this.

You heard it right?

Fang Xuanling is incompetent?

Fang Xuanling was still calm when she heard this, but Li Shimin was angry and laughed. After laughing, she looked at Li Chengqian and said coldly: "I want to hear how Fang Aiqing is incompetent?"

As he said that, he really sat back and waited for Li Chengqian's next words.

Seeing that this was exactly what he wanted, Li Chengqian looked at Fang Xuanling with a steady attitude and said, "The Duke of Liang claimed that they were affiliated with the Tang Dynasty, and the Lone King should treat it as the people of the Tang Dynasty."

As he said that, he stared at Fang Xuanling with his eyes, stepped forward and shouted loudly: "I want to ask Duke Liang when did you regard them as Tang Dynasty people?"

When Fang Xuanling was about to answer, he saw Li Chengqian step forward again, pointing at several Turkic leaders lying on the ground and shouting, "Does the people of the Tang Dynasty look like this?"

When the ministers in the courtyard heard this, they couldn't help but look at the Turkic leaders lying on them. They felt that the Tang people shouldn't be dressed like this, but when they thought about them, the Turkic people...

Fang Xuanling was Fang Xuanling, and when Li Chengqian was almost forced to ask, he still calmly said: "Your Highness, although they surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they were Turkic people. When the emperor surrendered, his orders to 'to follow the customs and complete his tribe', he ordered him to live the same way as before, and did not order him to tie his hair and change his clothes?"

Li Chengqian sneered and said, "Oh! That's right? Since the father issued an order to follow the customs, don't you know that they should perform the great ceremony of bowing to the earth when they pay homage to Tian Khan?"

Fang Xuanling immediately concluded when he heard this, and there was no reason to make double standards.

"Your Highness, now they come to worship my Emperor of Tang, naturally they will perform the rituals of the Tang Dynasty." Lai Ji strongly defended.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian sneered and said, "Come to the Secretariat, since you are worshiping me, Emperor Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you want to perform the rituals of the Tang Dynasty, why don't you tie your hair and change your clothes?

Where can I do the Tang Dynasty rituals that can be achieved without hair and clothing?”

Lai Ji was speechless when he heard it.

Li Chengqian did not let him go and pressed step by step: "Are these people the governors issued by the imperial court to be granted the title of the government without official uniforms?"

"Okay! Just order them to go down and change into official uniforms and then worship them."

Seeing that Li Shimin had to mess with today's affairs, he could only disturb this worship ceremony, and let the Turks change into the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty to worship. It would be nice to remember the historians in the future.

When Lai Ji heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to take these Turkic leaders down, and then hurried out to notify the other leaders to change their clothes.

Li Chengqian turned around and bowed to Li Shimin on the high platform, saying, "Father, the emperor is wise! But my son still has a few words to say."

"Hmph!" Li Shimin snorted angrily when he heard this, saying that he didn't want to listen to him.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin had agreed and continued to walk slowly between the venue while saying to the crowd: "Today, the lonely king was not meant to disturb this worship ceremony, but to explain a little truth to you..."

The civil and military ministers present had never seen such a shameless person. They all listened to Li Chengqian in surprise.

"Read the sutras of the mountain when you go. In China, you will naturally say that benevolence and love the people. However, when you go to the barbarians, you must follow the barbarians' rules and do not make anything out of place."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling said: "For example, what Duke Liang did today, he talked about the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty to a group of barbarians with hair and left lapels. Even if Confucius resurrected, he would not be able to educate barbarians."

"Your Highness, please be careful." After hearing Li Chengqian even pulled out the corpse of Saint Kong, Yang Hongli couldn't stand.

Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Yang Hongli seriously and said, "Why did the Lone King say it wrong? Confucius traveled around the countries and no one used him. Why didn't he go to the north to educate the barbarians?"

A group of ministers were speechless, and each of them looked ugly.

Li Shimin on the high platform was also as frowned as the bottom of a pot and said again: "The prince retreat!"

Li Chengqian was about to say the point, but how could he retreat? He said directly: "My son hasn't finished his words yet."

Then he turned to Yang Hongli and said, "Confucius never said that Zhou Li could educate the barbarians. He only said that Guan Zhong could defeat the barbarians by leading troops. "My little Guan Zhong, I have all put on my hair and left-sided lapels."

This is the wisdom of Confucius. He is not like you stupid people who always talk about etiquette to the barbarians."

"Cough cough" Looking at Li Chengqian, Li Shimin couldn't help but remind him with a cough.

"Mencius" was not popular in the Tang Dynasty, so the ministers did not make a fuss about the sophistry of the duck's mouth. Half of the civil servants in the court blushed when they heard this, but they could not say a word.

"The same is true now. The Tang Dynasty has always been polite to Xue Yantuo, and has never lost to them in terms of etiquette. But what is Xue Yantuo doing?

Waiting for an opportunity to invade the Tang Dynasty.”

Li Chengqian was a little angry when he said this, and looked at Fang Xuanling and others and asked loudly: "If the warriors of the Tang Dynasty were not fighting with Xue Yantuo in their fierce and fierce battles, would you still stand here to talk about etiquette and benevolence and righteousness to the tribes in Mobei?"

This statement clearly shows that he was extremely dissatisfied with Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling's way of dealing with the tribes in the northern Mobei.

But at this moment, both Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling felt that Li Chengqian was too arrogant and his words and actions were too extreme.

If he hadn't been the crown prince of the dynasty and in front of so many people, he would have been called a brainless person, so he would not have the heart to think about whether what he was right?

Seeing that they didn't speak, Li Chengqian turned around and questioned the general and said, "Why do you think you should talk about etiquette and law with the tribes in Mobei?"

Although the generals were unwilling to accept it, they were all wealthy people, so naturally they did not dare to stand up and support Li Chengqian at this time.

Li Shimin on the platform looked at Li Chengqian and said for a long time, no one was in a good mood.

Just when everyone in the courtyard except for the generals of the Eastern Palace thought that Li Chengqian was isolated and helpless, a Qianniu Guard suddenly panted and ran in from outside and shouted: "I heard from Your Majesty, and tens of thousands of soldiers gathered outside Lingzhou City to ask to see Your Majesty..."
