Chapter 548 ?? Sincere Qiang People
Chapter 548 The Chicheng Qiang people
Li Chengqian drove into Tongguan City and left the city directly from the west gate.
When the car drove out of Tongguan City, he still maintained his formation just now, because there were three thousand young and strong Qiang tribes outside the west gate.
These people need to show their strength to shock them.
As soon as Li Chengqian's car drove out of the city gate, he saw a large number of men in green waiting on the side of the road.
"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
When Sanqianqingqiang saw Li Chengqian's carriage, they all knelt on their knees and shouted in unison, shaking the mountains and forests.
The Tang army did not kneel down normally. When they were outside the east gate of Tongguan, the generals knelt on one knee and asked for a trip, which was a special ceremony.
This is apology to Li Chengqian on behalf of all the defenders of Tongguan.
These people in front of him were all meritorious ministers, but they knelt down to him, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Li Chengqian knew that whether it was the Turks or the Qiang tribes, they were all slaves. Those who were inferior to the superior had to provoke their bodies and lick the superior's boots.
However, they have always been simple in paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty, but they bowed.
In Lingzhou, Li Chengqian forced the leaders of various tribes to change their clothes to Yili, and once debated with Fang Xuanling and others: If they wore their tribe clothes, they would do the etiquette of their tribes and be promiscuous. If they wanted to perform Han rituals and saw that the emperor would just bow, they would wear the official uniform of the Tang Dynasty.
Even so, they were only considered as officials of the Tang Dynasty, much better than the common people of the Tang Dynasty.
But he was still subjected to fierce opposition. In the end, the blood that was killed by Li Chengqian was finally suppressed.
Although these people did not wear armor today, Li Chengqian knew that they all belonged to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and when he saw his carriage, he bowed.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but wonder, who do these people think of themselves as?
Tang people?
Or Qiang people?
Su Dingfang did not understand Li Chengqian's meaning, because this was a matter of alien education and had nothing to do with military affairs.
Li Chengqian glanced at Su Dingfang, saw that he was also confused, and said calmly: "The military strength of the Tang Dynasty is very strong now. With famous generals like the Li Qing family and the Su Qing family, you can fight to the horizon.
However, if the governance is not good, the bigger the land it is captured, the greater the disaster will be. In the past ten years, except for Tufan, the Lone King did not intend to use troops to the outside world.
The court must make great efforts to turn all the tribes around into real Tang people.”
Li Chengqian said this to Su Dingfang and Li Shiji, so that they could be mentally prepared and stop thinking about making contributions on the battlefield.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince's Vigilance." Li Shiji, who was driving, hugged his fists and said.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise." Su Dingfang thought, and hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists and said.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian stopped mentioning this matter and said to Li Shiji: "Li Qing's family stopped the car, and the Lone King wanted to meet these warriors."
"Abide by the order!" Li Shiji said, and stopped the car looking around steadily.
Li Chengqian helped Liu Kui get out of the Siwang car, and Su Dingfang and Li Shiji followed him and got off the car.
Chu Suiliang, Du Zhenglun and others turned over and got off the horse at the sight and surrounded him.
"Liu Aiqing, why did these soldiers perform special rituals to the orphan king?" Li Chengqian immediately asked a question when he saw Liu Rengui.
When Liu Rengui saw the question, he looked happy, bowed and clasped his fists, shook his head and said, "Go back to the Prince, this is the kindness and righteousness of the Prince, which has influenced the millions of Qiang people. They all regard the Prince as their rebirth parents, and they are sacred in heaven, and sincerely worship them in front of the Prince's Hall."
After Liu Rengui said something, his face was full of smiles, waiting for Li Chengqian's praise.
Li Chengqian looked at Liu Rengui and didn't believe it very much, but he couldn't say anything at this time. Even if Liu Rengui forced them to do it, it could not be considered as having malice against him.
The other ministers looked disbelief. They had dealt with various tribes and knew a little more about what kind of virtues the people of the Qiang tribe had.
"This is all the contribution of the Liu Qing family's governance." Li Chengqian praised Liu Rengui with a smile on his face. He then said to the ministers: "Let's go and see these warriors with the Lone King." He walked in front of the army.
Li Chengqian walked calmly to these young men with a gentle smile on his face, stretched out his arms to support him, and said in a gentle tone: "All warriors should be calm."
The Qiang people standing in the front row were very excited when they heard Li Chengqian calling them warriors, so they bowed and stood up.
Liu Kui repeated at the top of her voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has an order: all the warriors are calm."
The Qiang people in the back row also stood up one after another, stretched their necks one by one, showed excited smiles, and looked at Li Chengqian with respect in their eyes.
Li Chengqian was also scanning the thousands of Qiang people at this time. Seeing that their faces did not look fake, he believed most of what Liu Rengui said and put down his guard.
"I'll run all the way from Lingzhou, thank you for your hard work." Li Chengqian said emotionally.
The people who heard Li Chengqian talk in front were so excited that they couldn't speak. After a while, a strong man said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is my great benefactor. A villain can be a cow... a horse... it's God's kindness... a kindness."
These words seemed to be written by him in advance, but he was so excited that he couldn't say them incompletely.
Li Chengqian looked at the man with tears in his face and didn't know what to say.
"Your Highness, these people are selected from the bottom of the tribe according to your requirements. Their family was oppressed by the leaders of the tribe, and no generation has ever lived.
Since he was selected by his ministers and became your personal army to the Crown Prince, the court gave them land, cattle and sheep outside Lingzhou City. Only a few days have passed.
I don’t know how they heard that erecting a tablet of immortality for His Highness at home can bless His Highness long live. Many families went out together and kowtowed from outside the city one step at a time to Lingzhou. They asked the clerks in the yamen to write the tablet of His Highness’ Highness’ Longevity, and then kowtowed them home to offer sacrifices.”
Li Chengqian:...
Ministers:...
Liu Rengui was overjoyed when he looked at Li Chengqian's reaction. These things should have been reported to Li Chengqian early. But Liu Rengui wanted to seek credit from Li Chengqian in person, but he only said to Li Chengqian at this time.
"Nothing!"
Li Chengqian, who reacted, couldn't help but rebuke.
Li Chengqian was instinctively disgusted with the tablet of immortality, but he didn't want to resist feudal superstition. He had traveled to the Tang Dynasty himself and resisted feudal superstition, which was a bit pretentious.
The main reason is to worry about whether these gods and ghosts will affect his energy.
After all, even in the Tang Dynasty, the only ones who sacrificed the court were the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, ancestors, and sages.
The others are all lewd sacrifices, strictly speaking, including Taoist gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they are all lewd sacrifices that the court should ban.
Liu Rengui and his ministers were shocked when they saw Li Chengqian's reaction. However, Liu Rengui was not unconscious. After all, the person who promoted this matter was the East Palace's salary.
"Ta, Tai, Tai, Prince."
Li Chengqian was about to explain to Liu Rengui, but heard the strong man in front of him whispering to him.
Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at this stout man, looking at himself timidly like a child who had done something wrong.
Li Chengqian asked in his heart: "Have you also set up a tablet of immortality for the orphan king?"
"Stand up, standing up."
Li Chengqian looked at the other Qiang people again, and saw that everyone bowed their heads and knew that their family was established.
Li Chengqian thought for a while, reached out and patted the Qiang man on the shoulder, comforted him and said, "I don't blame you, and the Lone King is not angry with you. The Lone King ordered the officials of Lingzhou to deal with this matter. You can just obey the orders.
"Hey hey hey!"
The man quickly agreed.
Li Chengqian looked at the other people's faces and looked relaxed. He nodded and said to everyone: "Let's go, you will go back to Chang'an City with the Lone King."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the car.
