The honorific title "Tian Khan" originally belonged to Li Shimin alone.
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, when Li Jing and many famous generals of the Tang Dynasty wiped out the Turks and captured Jieli Khan alive, and the northern part of the Tang Dynasty was no longer in trouble, the heads of many neighboring countries congratulated the Tang Dynasty and jointly gave Li Shimin the honorary title, "
Khan”.
Later, Li Shimin passed away, but the honorific title "Tian Khan" did not disappear.
It became the hereditary honorific title for the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. Every emperor of the Tang Dynasty who ascended the throne was called "Khan of Heaven" by the vassal states.
"Tian Khan" is originally a Turkic word, which means the most noble and sole common lord in the world.
Later, dynasties changed. As long as the Central Plains dynasty was strong, neighboring countries would respect the emperor as Tian Khan. This title continued until the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the so-called Tian Khan later inevitably changed his taste and took on a utilitarian tone. Just like Party A in the contract, no matter how disgusting or wretched he is, he is collectively referred to as "Dad" by Party B.
Today, it is Li Zhi who inherits the honorific title of "Tian Khan".
Today's Chang'an City is not a festival, but the city suddenly became lively.
Envoys from various countries came to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to pay their respects to the emperor. Although it was common for the Tang Dynasty, it was still a relatively solemn day.
So on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, where there were originally few cars and horses, the people who had been hiding at home for the winter came out one after another. People gathered on both sides of Zhuque Avenue, standing on tiptoe to watch the excitement curiously.
Groups of envoys, carriages and horses drove from Suzaku Avenue to Taiji Palace. Each group was dressed differently. Based on the clothes of the envoys, the people guessed which vassal country they were sent to congratulate.
The procession of envoys was long and mighty. In addition to the envoys and their entourage, the long carriages were mostly congratulatory gifts from the vassal states to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, in a foreign barbarian country, there are no good things to offer. The gifts on the carriages and horses seem to be numerous, but in fact they are just some sheepskin, cowhide and wild animal skins, as well as local grain and specialties. The more precious things are small and
The envoy held it in his hand like a treasure.
Gifts are not only products, but also living people.
For example, the gift from the Silla Kingdom is a group of maids wearing gorgeous palace costumes. They walk in the middle of the group with their heads lowered and breath held as if they were walking on thin ice. These maids are the famous Silla maids.
On both sides of the avenue, people commented on the groups of Silla maids one after another, their faces full of reserved pride.
The people of the above country are born with glory, and those born in this country are filled with glory.
Well, barbarian girls are okay, but they are a bit short and their butts are not big. It seems that they are not destined to have sons. They are used to serve our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. They are not worthy. The Emperor really endured the humiliation and heavy burden in order to appease the vassal countries.
She looks just like that, not very attractive. She has a foxy and demonic air, but she is not as grand as our Guanzhong mother-in-law Zhou Zheng...
The palace cannot tolerate these wild garlics. Just wait, in a few days, these Silla maids will be sent out of the palace by the queen to be sold to wealthy families.
If anyone has money, they might as well bite the bullet and buy two. Hu Meizi doesn't look very good, but she still has some taste in serving men. Occasionally trying game meat can be regarded as a refreshment.
Words and sounds of unscrupulous comments reached the ears of the envoys, whether they were objective or vicious. The envoys did not dare to get angry, so they had to grit their teeth and walk faster towards Tai Chi Palace.
The gates of Taiji Palace were opened today. The envoys who paid tribute were shocked by the majesty of the Tang Dynasty palace. They entered the palace tremblingly amid the emperor's honor guard lined with swords and halberds.
Li Zhi and his courtiers were neatly dressed and summoned envoys from various vassal states in Taiji Hall.
Today, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were in a good mood. The envoys knelt down and worshiped in the palace, calling devoutly "Khan of Heaven" and "Master of the Tang Dynasty, come to the country." At this moment, the Tang Dynasty conquered the world, its virtue was glorified by the world, and it was written by historians.
Entered the history of Qing Dynasty.
The cold moon at the frontier, the lanterns in Chang'an, the iron halberds of the soldiers, the hymns of the busy city...
Time and space seem to be overlapping. Decades of blood and bones, the ambition of three generations of emperors, and the white hair of many famous generals have finally allowed this country that has suffered for thousands of years to shine with its most dazzling glory and dignity, earning the piety and awe of the barbarians from all over the world.
of worship.
Li Zhi was very happy today. With a wave of his hand, tomorrow a banquet will be officially held in the Taiji Palace to entertain envoys from various countries. Courtiers of the fourth rank and above in Beijing can attend the grand gathering.

Ganjingzhuang.
Li Qinzai was sitting in the yard. There was a red-hot charcoal fire in the open space in front of him. He held a fire tong in his hand, with an iron needle clamped on the top of the fire tong.
The needle is placed on the charcoal fire until it becomes red, and then twisted with tongs, it instantly turns into a fishhook.
Qiao'er held her chin up and looked at the fishhook in his hand with great interest. The father and son were enjoying a rare warm and quiet moment.
"Dad, why are you making so many fishhooks?" Qiao'er asked curiously.
Li Qinzai didn't even raise his head: "Dad doesn't want to live anymore. The fishhook is used to hang himself."
Qiao'er was stunned: "How is that possible!"
"Don't talk nonsense when you know it's impossible. Fishhooks are of course used for fishing, otherwise?"
Qiao'er snorted and said, "The Wei River is frozen, how can dad fish?"
"Use a pickaxe to smash a hole in the ice on the river before fishing. Now is the time when the fish are fat. When dad catches a few big ones, he will grill them for you."
Qiao'er's eyes lit up, then darkened: "But, dad's fishing skills are too weak, and nine out of ten times he will catch nothing. If the kid waits for dad to catch a fish, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait before he starves to death..."
"
The movements of Li Qinzai's hands froze, and his cheeks couldn't help but twitch a few times.
I feel offended by my own son.
Li Qinzai raised his hand to pinch Qiao'er's fleshy cheeks, and rubbed his face into various shapes with his big hands. While pinching, Li Qinzai murmured doubtfully: "You are obviously my son, why is your desire to live so weak? How dare you question your father?
Are you so good at fishing that you can’t wait to force my white-haired man to send a black-haired man to me?”
Qiao'er was so painful from being kneaded that she hurriedly begged for mercy: "Dad, I'm wrong. Daddy is very good at fishing..."
Li Qinzai then let go and said fiercely: "You can question my knowledge of mathematics and physics, but you can never question my fishing level. Fishing depends on luck. Your father's level is fine, but his luck is a bit bad.
"
Qiao'er was full of desire to survive and nodded in agreement.
Li Qinzai continued to make fishhooks. Qiao'er was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "Dad, can you take your children to fish together tomorrow?"
Li Qinzai said without raising his head: "Tomorrow you have to go to school. Li Jingxuan will teach you "Spring and Autumn". In addition to arithmetic and physics, you must also read more books by sages. Don't throw away the things left by your ancestors."
Qiao'er said cautiously: "My child has been a little tired from studying recently. I don't want to go to school tomorrow. Is that okay?"
Li Qinzai was stunned, glanced at him, and said happily: "When you are tired, take a day off and tell your fellow students that the school will have a day off tomorrow."
Qiao'er suddenly cheered and danced with joy.
Li Qinzai smiled. In fact, the school has always had fixed holidays, with two days of rest every ten days, and the students were not given much homework. It was not too hard to say it was hard.
However, my son said that he has been a little tired from school recently, so of course he had to take a day off. Qiao'er has always been well-behaved and sensible, and occasionally meeting his slightly unreasonable requests can be regarded as selfish pampering.
Anyway, Li Qinzai neither planned to be an educator nor a saint. He was already a salted fish, so what qualifications did he have to make others forget about food and sleep and hear the chicken dance?
Whether it's studying or working, just make do with it, there's no need to risk your life.
