Chapter 918: The Vassal King (Thanks to Timirlon's Eagle for the tip!) )

(Thank you very much for the reward from Timirlon's Eagle, it's another 10,000 reward, and it's a big red envelope in the group, thank you so much brother!) )

Li Chao and the crown prince rode in the golden chariot together, and led the triumphant soldiers into the streets of Xiangyang City amid the cheers of hundreds of people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Along with these triumphant warriors, the Goguryeo and Turkic captives such as Quangae Suwen were also in the spotlight.

The men were tied with ropes, their heads bowed, and they staggered. The bursts of Tang people's shouts made them panic. All the way south, they found that the Central Plains Datang was much bigger and richer than they imagined, and of course much more powerful than they imagined.

Lou Fu County Wang Desire Valley Set, Song Mo County King Dahe Luo, Raole County King Ahui Suzhi.

The three newly attached vassal kings, riding tall horses at this time, followed behind Li Chao and the crown prince's car. Looking at the people outside Xiangyang City, looking at the tall Xiangyang City, the three of them couldn't help but secretly feel glad that they had joined the Tang Dynasty.

The Central Plains is too big, there are too many people in the Central Plains, and the cities in the Central Plains are too tall and strong.

The people of a Xiangyang City are all worthy of the people of one of their tribes.

At this time, Su Zhi felt that he had sent out 5,000 cattle and horses each, and when he decided to take out this batch of cattle and horses to pay tribute to Datang, he was still very distressed, so many cattle and horses could buy thousands of muskets with Datang.

But now, Su Zhi came to the crown prince's car with a shy face, and said to the prince with a flattering face, "The minister Xi clan will meet Su Zhi, and he will offer 5,000 cattle and 5,000 horses to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty." ”

The five thousand cows and horses are for the Tang Emperor, and the five thousand cows and horses are for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Cheng Qian had been talking to Li Chao just now, and he didn't care about the three vassal kings. At this time, he was interrupted by Su Zhi, and he was a little unhappy, but he still nodded.

5,000 oxen and 5,000 horses, but the prince nodded his head.

Su Zhi was dissatisfied.

Li Chao smiled and said to Cheng Gan, "Your Highness, the minister introduced you to Your Highness, Your Majesty has enshrined the King of Raole County, Ahui Suzhi, the chief of the five major tribal alliances of the Xi people, and also the chief of the Ahui Department, the largest tribe of the Xi people." Brave and good at fighting and strategizing, the five major tribes of the Xi nationality have 200,000 people who control the strings, nearly one million tribal people, strong soldiers and strong horses, and are the northern tribe of Yanshan. The chief of Suzhi is loyal to the Tang Dynasty! ”

Cheng Qian heard the meaning of Li Chao's words, this Su Zhi is not a person who has no soldiers, no power and no land like Desire Gu She, Jieli and Yu She, this is a powerful faction.

smiled at him immediately, "The king of the county is so loyal, Datang will not treat you badly." Today, Lone in the palace set up a banquet for the triumphant soldiers to catch the wind, and for a while, Lone should be a cup of respect for the king of the county. ”

When Su Zhi heard this, he felt extremely comfortable in his heart. The cattle and horses were not given away in vain, so that Prince Tang could toast a glass of wine, and there would be more noodles.

Seeing that Su Zhi was not honest, Du Luo hurriedly expressed his willingness to send 5,000 cattle and horses to His Royal Highness the Prince. Cheng Qian also smiled and said that he would toast him for a while, which was regarded as sending the two away.

"One glass of wine earns 10,000 cattle and horses, and two glasses of wine earn 20,000 yuan, Your Majesty's wine is really valuable."

Li Chao smiled and said to Cheng Qian.

Cheng Qian shook his head, "The teacher went out, and in half a year, he defeated Goguryeo, served Xi and Khitan, and collected Monan, this is the real thing." Gu was able to get 20,000 cattle and horses for these two glasses of wine today, and that was just because they were intimidated by the teacher's military might. ”

The reception banquet is set up in the East Palace.

It's hilarious.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the east, the prime minister's privy councillors accompanied each other, and hundreds of civil and military officials were present, and Li Chao was appreciated by countless people.

At the banquet, Desire Gu She actually gritted his teeth and took out 5,000 cows and horses to give to the prince. Although he has no land, but the property is still there, seeing that the Tang Dynasty is so weather, and seeing that the prince is so young but so steady, he also gritted his teeth and took out 10,000 cattle and horses.

Cheng Qian fulfilled his promise and toasted a glass of wine to one of the three feudatories.

The wine Li Chao poured for him, three glasses of fruit wine, the degree is actually very low, but it is like a drink.

However, what San Fan drank was white wine, Bailu Tequ, which was very strong.

After a glass of wine, the three san francators are already extremely red.

In addition to the clan, there are now six kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty.

The king of Dingxiang County, that is, Jieli Khan, is now given the title of King of Dingxiang by the Tang Dynasty, and the surname of the country is Li, and now he is Li Quanzhong, the king of Dingxiang.

The king of Yunzhong County, that is, the original Yu Shot, is now given by the Tang Dynasty to the King of Yunzhong, and is also given the surname Li and the name Li Maozhen.

The original Ashina Simo gave the surname Li, the king of Heshun County, and recently changed his name and changed his name to Li Sigong.

Now he is the king of the three feudal domains.

Ah Hui Su Zhi saw that the three of them had to be given surnames and names by the Tang Dynasty, and at this time he wondered if he should also ask for a name, so that in the future, in the Xi clan, with the Tang Dynasty as a backer, then he could become the king of Xi sooner or later, and really be the king of the Xi clan.

By the strength of the wine.

Su Zhi first found Li Chao and begged Li Chao to help him ask the prince for gifts.

When Li Chao heard this, he also felt that this thing was feasible.

He also knew just now that the surnames and names given by Jieli and others were not what Li Shimin meant, but what the young prince meant. Although I think this is a bit excessive, it also has certain benefits.

After thinking about it for a while, I agreed.

He told Cheng Qian in the past that Cheng Qian has recently been obsessed with giving people surnames and names, and Su Zhi must have taken the initiative to ask for it, which is a good thing.

"The name given by the king of Raole County is Li Guochang, okay?"

"Li Guochang." Su Zhi read it a few times, and the more he read it, the better he felt.

Guochang Guochang, Cheng Qian, of course, means that the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, and Su Zhi feels that he may be able to establish his own dynasty and the country prosper like Yi Nan in the future.

Ahui Suzhi became Li Guochang, the king of Raole County.

Ohga Tara also came and asked for his name.

Cheng Qian's comer did not refuse, and thought about it, "Is it good to give the name Li Quanzhong to the king of Songmo County?" ”

"Okay, Li Quanzhong's name is good, and the minister must be loyal to the end for His Royal Highness for the Tang Dynasty." Duro patted the horse's ass.

Desire Gu Sheu also came over with a shy face to ask for a name.

Li Baochen.

Cheng Qian chose a name for Desire Valley, Baochen.

Baochen doesn't sound like Guochang, Quan Zhong is good, but it's not bad, and he retreated with a thousand thanks.

And so.

Now the six vassal kings with different surnames in the Tang Dynasty originally had Turkic, Xi and Khitan, but they all became the vassal kings of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all given surnames and names.

Jieli Khan Ashina is aggressive, and now he has become Li Quanzhong, the king of Dingxiang County of the Tang Dynasty.

Yu shot Ashina to touch the end, and now he has become Li Maozhen, the king of Yunzhong County in the Tang Dynasty.

Originally Jiabi special service Ashina Simo, now he has become Li Sigong, the king of Datang and Shunjun.

And the original desire valley is now Li Baochen, the king of the Tang Dynasty.

The great chief of the Xi nationality, Ahui Suzhi, is now Li Guochang, the king of Raole County in the Tang Dynasty.

The Khitan chief is now Li Quanzhong, the king of Songmo County of the Tang Dynasty.

Quanzhong, Maozhen, Sigong, Baochen, Guochang, and Duzhong, these six names, listening to Li Chao want to laugh.

However, looking at the happy looks of these six ethnic leaders who belonged to him, Li Chao could only say that a modern person could not quite understand the thoughts of people at that time.

Giving surnames and names to foreign ethnic groups is not an ordinary reward, but the most powerful means of appeasing the leaders of ethnic minorities in the Tang Dynasty.

Once a surname is given, especially a national surname, it means that he has become a family member of the Tang Empire.

This is the highest honor, and people all over the world are generally envious and yearning, not to mention those aliens. They were given surnames, not only to be absorbed into the Li clan with noble blood, but also to mark that they would no longer be ridiculed for the Yidi seed. Since then, they have also become members of the upright Han nationality.

This honor has made countless people rush to it.

In fact, this is also a disguised means of assimilation.

In ancient China, these were still very important.

Just like there will be many people who cling to celebrities as their ancestors, even if it is the Li Tang royal family, they also want to climb Lao Tzu as their ancestor.

There are also many people who will do everything possible to get involved with those famous families, saying that they are Zhaojun Li, or a branch of Longxi Li, and what are the descendants of Xingyang Zheng and Qinghe Cui, all of which are the same truth.

No one thinks there is anything wrong with giving a surname, on the contrary, it is regarded as the highest honor.

Li Chao was given his surname, and he was still unhappy, and this matter would be difficult for others to understand.

However, the six vassal kings with different surnames are all leaders of different races.

But take a closer look, of the four Turkic kings, only Li Sigong, the king of Heshun County, is considered to have real power, and the other three Turkic leaders who were originally of higher status are actually just three dogs raised by the Tang Dynasty, with teeth pulled out, collars, and ropes, if it weren't for the fact that the Turks had not yet been pacified, there was no need for the Tang Dynasty to raise them.

In comparison, Li Guochang, the king of Raole County, and Li Qianzhong, the king of Songmo County, are still very powerful. They were true vassal kings, with their own tribal lands and soldiers.

And these two clans are indeed more loyal to Datang and can move.

In contrast, the imperial court also has many vassals in the southwest, but those are too far away and the strength is not strong, so there is no king to give a surname until now.

Cheng Qian stood beside Li Chao with a glass of fruit wine, and said to Li Chao very seriously, "Actually, I think that the most qualified person in this Tang Dynasty is actually a teacher." The teacher has made countless contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to reward him with the title of king. ”

Li Chao just smiled, picked up the mulberry wine in his hand and took a sip.

Feng Wang, it's really good.

But although he was recorded in the genealogy of the Li family's royal family, he was actually not a member of the Li family. His original surname is Zhang, and he is a hero with a different surname, although at the beginning of the founding of the country, Luo Yi and several other separatists rebelled against the king, and was once given the surname of king by Li Yuan, but it was different from now.

At that time, Datang only occupied a corner, and it could be opened under any conditions. And now that the Tang Dynasty dominates the world, how can it be possible to divide a different surname as a king again.

The system that Li Shimin came out with before made it clear that a different surname cannot be a king.

As for the current six kings with different surnames, it is because they are the leaders of different races.

Li Chao is not too interested in being crowned king, it sounds very funny, but if he really seals the king, he is really in a rather uncomfortable position.

Li Chao didn't think that one day he would usurp the world of the Li family, so he was not interested in being crowned king, and it was not bad to be a prince of Zhao Guo.
