I am engaged in construction in Datang

The goal has been achieved this time. All the people of status in Tuyuhun are under the control of Nuzhuang and the government.

After the forty formations, it is the home ground of the big family.

The big family is not short of money, and the auction price of each formation easily exceeds two thousand strings of cash.

Those small merchants who had not bid in the early stage were beating their chests and stamping their feet. Some of them reacted quickly and grabbed a group of tickets. Some thought that more than 2,000 strings of cash were too expensive and returned empty-handed.

Those who were photographed were given a management manual and a set of ideological and moral education.

Everyone was happy here, but the more than 10,000 prisoners in the stands felt sympathetic, and the brave ones began to cry.

Then everyone around him was infected by him.

When everyone returned with their spoils, only the guarding soldiers and the surrendered prisoners such as Murong Shun were left on the entire playground.

"Where is Murong Shun?"

The Qianniu General came running on his bicycle...

Although it felt a bit strange, there was no need to lead the horse at such a close distance.

"General, over here!" The soldiers around Murong Shun immediately grabbed Murong Shun's inner clothes, pulled him out, and then untied the iron handcuffs that tied his feet to those of other people.

Murong Shun was standing aside, his hair disheveled in the wind.

What's this!

Why don't we need horses to pull it?

"Are you Murong Shun?" General Qianniu looked Murong Shun up and down, feeling a little disgusted, and didn't want him to sit on his 28-inch bicycle.

The seat cover at the back was knitted for him by his wife!

"Get in the car, His Majesty wants to see you."

General Qianniu patted the back seat and shook his head, looking extremely cool.

"This..." Murong Shun hesitated: "Won't it fall?"

"How is that possible? I'm very skilled!"

General Qianniu was angry: "Just sit on it with your legs apart. You are not wearing a robe! Hurry up, or I will make you run after me!"

Murong Shun hesitated, but finally sat on the seat.

"Hold on to me, hold on!" General Qianniu wanted to show off his big pole to the barbarians, so he rode very fast.

Murong Shun almost fell down at the beginning, and was so frightened that his throat almost jumped out. He turned around and hugged Qianniuwei's waist.

He didn't let go until he got used to the speed.

"General, what is this?"

"This is a new means of transportation developed by our Tang Dynasty. What do you think? You haven't seen it before!" Qianniu Wei didn't mind saying more.

Murong Shun shook his head, and after realizing that the other party couldn't see it, he said, "I've never seen it before. This thing is really amazing."

Then he added: "And your big playground and the road over here are both very smooth."

"Haha, these are all products of the Nvzhuang. In order to facilitate travel, when the Nvzhuang was building the academy, they also paved several important roads to the city and the village."

Female village!

Murong Shun was shocked.

It was the manor of the young lady he had met before!

No wonder he sits in the front row, so cool!

"General, what will His Majesty say to me this time?"

The closer he got to the palace, the more uneasy Murong Shun became.

His current situation is worse than when he was a hostage in the Sui Dynasty. At least he had a house to live in then.

"How should I know? But don't worry, he shouldn't die." Qianniu Guard said casually.

The two men rode on a large pole and went all the way to the palace.

In the side hall, Li Shimin was drinking tea.

"sit."

Murong Shun trembled and knelt on the ground.

"It's been many years since we last met." Li Shimin sighed.

"Your Majesty." Murong Shun leaned forward and kowtowed. He was afraid...

"Do you know that I saved you?"

Murong Shun: “?”

Without waiting for Murong Shun to reply, Li Shimin continued, "I have a few letters here, take a look."

Murong Shun took it and opened it——

"Excuse me, Murong Shun has been a hostage in the Sui Dynasty for so many years, do you really trust him? Besides, we are all doing well here, why should we ask him to be the king..."

"Dadoli, Murong Fuyun has angered the Central Plains. We have to send one person to surrender. I don't want to do this. Why don't we ask Murong Shun to go? After the battle, we will..."

"Hmph, a surrendered king is worthy of our loyalty? We can just make his son the king, that will be an explanation..."

'...'

Murong Shun's face turned pale.

That's it!

Li Shimin drank his tea and said, "Murong Shun, I have two options for you to choose from."

"First, you sell the Tuyuhun land to the Tang Dynasty to atone for your sins. The Tang Dynasty will then give you money in exchange, and you can bring your wife and children to live in the capital. Second, reject my proposal and go to labor reform with the remaining soldiers for three years."

"Your Majesty..." Murong Shun hesitated: "What is labor reform?"

"That's a very honorable thing!" Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he smiled: "It means eating and living with your soldiers, going mining together, and studying together. Until you realize your mistakes, I will let you go."

“……”Murong Shun, isn’t this the criminal?

"Murong Shun, I have carefully considered it for you. Choosing the first one will not only save your life, but also allow you to live a carefree life in the capital."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Have you seen that 28-inch bicycle? Don't you want to buy one and ride it?"

Murong Shun: "..."

Of course he does.

"Of course, you can also choose the second one."

Li Shimin sighed and shook his head: "But when the time comes, you will have to work hard in the prison... no, in the labor reform center, to accumulate enough points to get the qualification to be released early!"

"When you come out..."

Li Shimin shook his head and stopped talking.

"..."Murong Shun.

You just said prison, didn't you? Right? What about labor reform camp? How hypocritical!

So after he comes out, there is nothing left!

"But, Your Majesty, I did not participate in this battle." Murong Shun felt wronged.

"That's wrong!"

Li Shimin recounted to Murong Shun the story that Li Yin had told him.

"Murong Shun, do you still think you are innocent?"

Murong Shun: "..."

He understood that at this point, he had only one way to go.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to offer the Tuyuhun territory to the Tang Dynasty..."

……

early morning.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers--!"

This time the newsboy's shout was even louder: "The Tang Dynasty's battle to recapture Tuyuhun has finally come to an end!"

"Newspaper seller! The emperor has said that anyone who offends the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

"Sell the newspaper! Tuyuhun has been the territory of our Tang Dynasty since ancient times!"

"..."

Countless people paid money to buy it, wanting to see what the newspaper said.

The second floor of a teahouse.

Several people with foreign faces remained silent.

Soon, the waiter brought newspapers to the few people.

A few people opened it, and the first page was a piece of news -

On July 18, the 7th year of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang-Tu War ended with my country's great victory...

Further down, there are follow-up matters. The newspaper wrote:

The Tuyuhun king Murong Shun felt deeply sorry for the Tuyuhun army's repeated invasions of our Tang cities, and was willing to offer all the territory of Tuyuhun as an apology...

How shameless Murong Shun is!

Several people’s eyes went dark. It was over!
