It's not Li Shimin's fault; they wanted to see the dance too!

Under the celestial canopy, emperors of various dynasties were practically green with envy at Jieli's dance.

They were already tired of seeing beautiful women dance.

The sight of one's mortal enemy humiliated before one's eyes, the expression on the face of someone who clearly didn't want to jump but had no choice, stirred the hearts of emperors throughout history!

"I want it too!!!"

Liu Che watched Jieli's dance with envy. For the first time, he felt that the dancers' graceful movements looked so boring.

The humiliation suffered by the Han Dynasty at the hands of the Xiongnu was no less than that at the Battle of Wei River.

Originally, Liu Che felt that simply annihilating the Xiongnu and eradicating their entire race would be enough to quell his anger.

But now he feels that sparing those people's lives and letting them dance whenever he wants is the treatment a victor should receive!

The strong must ruthlessly humiliate the weak!

"Your Majesty, Luogubi, the uncle of Yizhixie Chanyu whom I captured earlier, is still in Chang'an."

Huo Qubing reminded Liu Che,

Although Luogubi was not the Chanyu, he was still one of the higher-ranking figures among the Xiongnu.

Liu Che was overjoyed upon hearing this; how could he have forgotten about this person?

"Send it here immediately! I want to see him dance!!"

Not only Liu Che, but many emperors of dynasties before the Tang Dynasty were also inspired by Jieli's dance.

Not only when dealing with foreign tribes, but even when dealing with one's own mortal enemies, once captured alive and escorted back to the capital, the first thing to do is to watch their dance.

Even if you're not very skilled at dancing, the feeling is something that no dance move can compare to.

As for the defeated side, no matter what, at least their lives were saved, and being alive is good enough!

After the destruction of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate, the Tang army did not stop its advance; it swept away the Western Turkic Khaganate, Gaochang, Tuyuhun, Kucha, Xueyantuo, and others.

A saying circulating online states that the founding group of the Tang Dynasty was among the best in history, and could even be considered the strongest group in history.

Anyone you pick could lead an army and destroy a country.

[Only Li Shimin could control these people. To Li Shimin, it wasn't about their great achievements or their power overshadowing him. Could their achievements surpass his? Were they as capable as him in battle? Were they as young as him?]

During the Zhenguan period,

Many civil and military officials who followed Li Shimin in conquering the empire, such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and Hou Junji, all proudly puffed out their chests.

With his nostrils pointing to the sky, his arrogant expression mirrored that of Li Shimin on the steps.

The strongest group in history, just listen to that title!

Do other people use this title?

For them, they only respect Li Shimin. No one else would work. "You can't even beat me, so why should I listen to you?"

Therefore, most of the founding heroes who followed Li Shimin to the Han Dynasty died peacefully, except for those who rebelled.

Even in the event of a rebellion, Li Shimin only killed him; his wife and son were spared, while his family was exiled.

This is a capital crime of rebellion; any other emperor would have at least executed the entire clan. It can only be said that Li Shimin truly did everything in his power to be benevolent and righteous.

Who, who is so heartless as to dare to rebel?!

The generals glared angrily at their colleagues who had risked their lives for them.

Hou Junji couldn't hold back any longer. He had a fiery temper, and unlike Cheng Yaojin or Yuchi Gong, he wasn't a surrendered general.

He was loyal to the end; as soon as Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he immediately came to join the Li Tang dynasty.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty in the first year of the Wude era, he immediately entered the Prince of Qin's mansion to follow Li Shimin, and later participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

From beginning to end, he only had Li Shimin as his lord, and he was loyal to him beyond measure!

"Who is it?! Which son of a bitch dares to rebel? Has he lost his conscience?!"

"You dare to rebel?!"

"If I find out, I'll chop his head off!!!"

Hou Junji launched into a tirade in front of the court officials, hurling insults and swearing as he scanned them, his gaze lingering on the surrendered generals like Yuchi Gong.

"Exactly! His Majesty is too kind-hearted; he only killed one person!"

"No wonder everyone on the heavens says His Majesty is wise and benevolent!!"

"Don't let me find out who it is, or I'll beat him to death!!"

Yuchi Gong and the others were eager to fight, their anger blazing. They all expressed their loyalty, as if the rebel was right in front of them and they would not be satisfied until they had given him a good beating.

"Alright, alright, who can predict what will happen in the future?"

Li Shimin raised his hand to stop the foul language of the courtiers in the hall, his heart filled with anger.

He was also very sad and felt very wronged!

They trusted and cared for them so much, yet some people still rebelled.

Li Shimin felt he had suffered a great blow.

"Your Majesty, if the heavens announce that some scoundrel has rebelled, I volunteer to give him a sound thrashing!"

Hou Junji gritted his teeth and said angrily,

"Why should you go first? If anyone should go first, it should be me!!"

"Who do you think you are? When I was fighting Liu Wuzhou alongside His Majesty, you were still on the opposing side!!"

Hou Junji's words were like pressing the nuclear button, and everyone started arguing about who had the right to be the first to beat that person up.

Li Shimin covered his forehead, thinking, "A bunch of troublesome brutes."

My son Chenggan is the best. Apart from his sexual orientation being a bit off-track, like the Liu family, he never causes his father any trouble. He's so easy to manage!

As for the other small and foreign countries, they were already terrified, fearing that one day they would be enjoying delicious food and singing songs when the Tang army would drag them to Chang'an to perform dances.

One by one, they flocked to Chang'an to pay tribute, offering Li Shimin the title they considered the most honorable—Heavenly Khan!

From then on, the Tang Dynasty received tribute from all nations, its power and prestige dominating the world.

For countless warlords at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, they were fortunate. The Sui Dynasty's treasury stored a large amount of grain and military equipment, so they did not have to worry about food and military supplies at all.

They stirred up a storm, and each of them could be considered the protagonist of their own story.

But they met Li Shimin, the chosen one of the entire era.

What they have to face is...

[The strongest carbon-based life form of the 7th century, the pinnacle of contemporary combat power, governor of Asia, the leader of the Eastern Hemisphere, a ruler of the world, possessing the bearing of a dragon and phoenix, and the countenance of the sun and moon. He held the titles of Grand Commandant, Minister of Works, Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, Grand Chancellor of the Eastern Shaanxi Circuit, Grand Chancellor of the Yizhou Circuit, Governor of Yongzhou, Grand Chancellor of Liangzhou, Left and Right Generals of the Martial Guards, Left and Right Generals of the Twelve Guards, Pillar of State, Prince of Qin, General of Heavenly Strategy, and Heavenly Khan.]

Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin

The civil and military officials and ordinary people in front of the canopy were all dumbfounded at this moment.

Any one of these titles would be something they would have dreamed of their entire lives, yet Li Shimin had them all?

Moreover, they all held positions of real power.

Can't I have one?!

Compared to their civil and military officials, the emperors of various dynasties were incredibly envious.

Alright, alright, I know you, Li Shimin, are amazing.

What's the point of giving yourself so many titles? Are you trying to show off?

Li Yuan was really something! Giving Li Shimin so many powerful positions and titles, it's no wonder he drove Li Jiancheng crazy!

However, it mentions what carbon-based life means. They know about carbon; isn't charcoal the raw material for gunpowder?

They knew Asia; they were in Asia.

There is also Europe, as Tianmu mentioned, when the Mongols conquered the west, they reached Europe.

However, they really couldn't understand this last part of the Eastern Hemisphere. Where did the ball come from?

Do we live on a planet?

impossible! ! !

That's utter nonsense!!
