Shu'er was making socks for Wenyi while chatting reservedly with the little sisters.

While showing off the pearl, she pretended to be sad and discussed whether it would be too heavy to put it on the phoenix crown, and whether her slender neck would be tired... This caused the little sisters to chirp again...

The day after Najib passed away, Aunt Shuanzi entered the palace again. This time she was even more proud. She was riding in a luxurious carriage leading the way, followed by a mighty procession. The Wen Mansion was not far from the palace.

As a result, Aunt Shuanzi had already entered the palace, and the last carriage delivering the betrothal gift had just left the Wen Mansion.

You can imagine how many things Li Jian has prepared! Her crazy shopping in the past few days has also earned her the title of "Good Wealth Fairy" by the hospitable Chang'an merchants. From then on, the first thing the Chang'an merchants did every day when they opened the door was to wipe Li Jian's longevity.

card, and then respectfully lay a stick of incense, praying that the fairy can visit your shop again... Along with the betrothal gift, there is also a gift book in the "Three Books", which records the amount of the betrothal gift. This process is already part of

The wedding ceremony of the Tang Dynasty was called "Na Zheng" in Zhou rites, and it was commonly known as "Wan Bein" or "Guo Dali" in Tang Dynasty.

In the Zhou rites, the payment of the betrothal gift was deemed to have been completed. However, with the development of the Tang Dynasty, this custom also changed. In the Tang Dynasty, the woman's family should also give gifts in return to the man, returning part of the food in the betrothal gift, or giving the man shoes, hats and socks.

Waiting for clothes.

This is also the reason why Shuer has been busy these days.

Whether it is a betrothal gift or a return gift, gifts are usually given in pairs, and most of them have auspicious meanings, but they must not be given alone.

The betrothal gifts of literature and art directly filled up the palace's warehouse. Although there were only a dozen carts of valuable ones, there were many worthless ones. You must know that a single egg can cost ten carts! All hotels in Chang'an no longer sell "poached eggs".

It is an ancient and delicious dish... It also allows the people of Chang'an to truly understand what a real "hao" is! After sending the betrothal gift, it is necessary to determine the wedding date, and then prepare a gift to the woman's house for consultation.

The woman's opinion is called "expectation".

At this time, the gifts only need to be simple. However, during the Tang Dynasty, the wedding date and the wedding ceremony were often combined together. The wedding date was set at the same time as the betrothal gift, and the betrothal gift and the wedding gift were also combined.

Empress Changsun was very satisfied with the betrothal gift, which caused a sensation in Chang'an. She personally welcomed Aunt Shuanzi into the Qingning Palace and asked Aunt Shuanzi to sit on the phoenix throne with her.

But Aunt Shuanzi was so proud that when she returned to the Wen Mansion, she started to catch the servants one by one to tell them about her sitting with the Queen... Uncle Shuanzi was so worried that he sat on the threshold and sighed: "I can't have this bitch!"

After careful deduction by Taoist Master Li Chunfeng, the wedding date was set on the first day of August.

The official explanation to the outside world is: "On the first day of August, everything will be fine."

In fact, it is the result of literature and art bribing with new arithmetic.

He has not finished many things yet, so he cannot get married too early. This is his first marriage in two lives, so he cannot be careless! During this time, the members of Creation stopped all their projects and devoted all their efforts to help the literature and art make fireworks, two kicks and covers.

The holographic projection of Chang'an City! Originally Wenyi wanted to do some flying performances, but in the end we thought we couldn't expose the Tang Dynasty's combat power too much, so we simply used projection instead.

Li Shimin, who had been staying in Hongshiya for less than half a month, had no intention of staying any longer after receiving the news that the wedding date had been set. He ordered the withdrawal of troops from Datong City and urged 007 to hurry up.

Zhao Deyan ran for five days before escaping back to Turks. As soon as he returned to Turks, he began to remember Jieli Khan's tragedy and denounced Tuli's cowardice.

This immediately aroused the common hatred of the Turkic tribes. In the absence of a clan leader, they had no choice but to adopt Zhao Deyan's suggestion: temporarily unite under his command, and then form reinforcements to rescue the Khan.

But after a few days of recruitment, there were only 20,000 people who could be mentioned on the horse, and even the 100,000-yuan profit was lost. What was the use of the 20,000 people?

Just at this time, I received instructions from Li Shimin.

Zhao Deyan immediately arranged for someone to spread the rumor that Jieli was very likely to have been killed. It was not worth the effort to use the last strength of the Turks. Moreover, even if he rescued Jieli, he would still be ruled by him. Apart from oppressing the people, Jieli had never benefited the people.

.

But it would be different if the Imperial Preceptor was allowed to succeed the Khan. Since the Imperial Preceptor came to the grassland, he has always thought about the people, provided for the people's needs, and paid attention to the people's urgent needs. What a great person! The smart Turks have been wiped out by Li Shimin.

, there are very few smart people in the grassland who can see through Zhao Deyan's conspiracy, and they are basically Zhao Deyan's allies.

In addition, there are no strong competitors for the Khan position at the Tuli level, so after Zhao Deyan rejected thousands of people's requests three times, he was finally sent to the Khan position by the lovely Turks.

By the way, there are still some forces that strongly oppose Zhao Deyan. For example, Jieli's son Ashinadela is their leader. As a result, Ashinadela did not play the tuba on a dark and windy night.

Be careful if you fall into a manure pit...there will be nothing more to come.

Zhao Deyan, who had just ascended the throne, immediately gathered the new chiefs of all ethnic groups to discuss the future development strategies of the Turks.

Zhao Deyan threw the detailed plan on the table, and these muscular people he specially selected immediately started using their brains, which were inversely proportional to their muscles.

Finally, he choked out one sentence: "Khan is wise!"

So a letter strongly condemning the injustice of the Tang Dynasty was sent to Li Shimin with great fanfare. Li Shimin was immediately ashamed, and immediately ordered a big banquet to entertain the Turkic envoys. During the dinner, Li Shimin fully expressed that he had realized that he had destroyed

The Turks' 100,000-strong army brought serious consequences, and stated that they would work hard to restrain their own troops in the future to ensure that similar things would not happen again, while not mentioning anything about the Turks' desire to redeem prisoners of war.

After the Turkic envoy was fed two jars of burning knives, after friendly discussions between the two parties, it was decided to hold Datang Turkic friendly negotiations in Datong City in half a month.

The Turkic envoy, who had been in a daze for three days, returned to the Turkic Yazhang north of Wuyuan County with this letter that would influence future generations for hundreds of years.

After Zhao Deyan and others read the letter, the warriors under his command were furious and strongly opposed negotiations in Datong City.

Zhao Deyan said with a solemn expression of a generous and righteous man: "Everyone, today is different from the past. Now we have reached the critical moment of life and death for our Turks. If I don't go because of timidity, it will only make the Tang Dynasty look down on us.

Moreover, Xue Yantuo, Uighur and other Tiele tribes in Mobei have also rebelled one after another, and are now eyeing us. If this negotiation can stabilize the Tang Dynasty, then we can survive this difficult period.

If the talks with the Tang Dynasty collapse, then the only thing waiting for us is destruction! Don’t try to dissuade us, I have made up my mind, and we will set off to Datong City to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

The tragic atmosphere instantly infected many good-natured men sitting here, and everyone was speechless with tears in their eyes and trembling.

Finally, they all knelt down and swore: "I will follow the Khan into the tiger's den!"

In order to keep their khan, the Turkic people spontaneously followed. Zhao Deyan took the remaining 260,000 men, women, and children of the Turks to the vicinity of Huyan Valley, which is close to Datong City.

Of course, whether there was secret instigation from Zhao Deyan’s cronies will not be recorded in the official history. The official history will only record: “After Jieli Khan, the Han Chinese Zhao Deyan complied with the public opinion and was appointed as Darshan Khan. The Turkic people could not bear that Darshan Khan attended the meeting alone.

, so he went to Datong City with Darshan Khan for negotiations with the intention of sharing the same fate!"

Zhao Deyan arranged his funeral arrangements and rode straight into Datong City with only his servant Zhao Dezhu.

The Turkic warriors with red eyes clenched their teeth in distress and spontaneously gathered under the Datong City. If the Khan had unfortunate news, he would die with Datong City! After the gate of Datong City was closed, the atmosphere in the inner city was just like that of the Turks.

On the contrary, the crowd was peaceful and quiet.

Li Shimin did not wait in the temporary palace, but stood at the city gate with a smile in casual clothes.

Zhao Deyan saw Li Shimin hurriedly dismounted from his horse, walked quickly to Li Shimin, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Deyan, pays homage to your Majesty!"

Li Shimin helped him up and said kindly: "Thank you for your hard work, Zhao Aiqing. No, it's time to become Darshan Khan now."

Ha ha!"

Zhao Deyan said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has betrayed a minor minister. I am a Tang Dynasty person in life and a ghost of Tang Dynasty in death. No matter where I am in this life, I will live up to the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "I have a beloved lady with a million troops left! Let's go back to the palace to talk."

The two of them got on Li Shimin's special car and headed to the Shuai's Mansion in Datong City.

Zhao Deyan touched the handrails inlaid with golden nanmu and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that the technology of our Datang Dynasty would develop so rapidly.

I had only seen chariots like steel beasts at Niangziguan back then, but I had never seen such a comfortable and luxurious vehicle."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Since you like it, I will give this car to you.

But it’s not easy to let it run on the grassland, you have to build the road.”

Although Zhao Deyan had heard to some extent that Datang was developing rapidly, the specific situation was not clear yet.

Li Shimin also patiently introduced him to various new products in Datang.

A sumptuous banquet was enjoyed by both guests and hosts.

Zhao Deyan, who was belching from wine, leisurely left the city under the setting sun. He first comforted his anxious subordinates, then calmed the people, and announced His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's decision to negotiate for peace.

The generals couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the newly established Darshan Khan was much better than the previous Jieli Khan! There was finally hope for the future! The next day, Li Shimin took the initiative to express his sincerity.

The negotiation location was set outside the city, and Turkic soldiers were allowed to follow.

Li Shimin, who was wearing a dragon robe, and Zhao Deyan, who was wearing a khan costume, sat down across a table.

Li Shimin was followed by only 6 Xuanjia Army guards, but Zhao Deyan was followed by more than 200 Turkic warriors.

After the two were polite, Li Shimin spoke first: "Darshan Khan and Jieli Khan invaded the Tang Dynasty for no reason and caused great harm to our country. As many as 90,000 soldiers were killed in the battle alone! So I need you to pay 1,000

Ten thousand taels of silver were used as pensions for fallen soldiers.
