The mausoleum of Empress Changsun is located in the west of Chang'an, at the foot of Jiuzhi Mountain in Weibei in Xianyang, from Qianxian County in the west to Bocheng County in the east, with the mountain as the mausoleum, stretching for dozens of miles and magnificent.

After a good night's sleep, early in the morning of the second day, Shang Shang and Li Mo changed to fast horses and rushed to Jiuzhi Mountain in the cool mist. When standing in front of the dismounted monument in front of the mausoleum of Empress Changsun, Shang Shang still couldn't help but be shocked!
As a traveler, living in the capital Beijing, the merchants who have seen the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty thought that they should be able to look at the mausoleum of Tang Taizong's favorite eldest grandson Empress very calmly, but how do you know that you really know that the Tang Dynasty is really not a joke!
Since the beginning of Taizong in the Tang Dynasty, the monarch's mausoleums were all built on the mountain, and the entire mountain was hollowed out as the main body of the mausoleum. And the eldest grandson queen because of the earlier construction of the mausoleum, more also loved by Taizong, so the location of her mausoleum took the middle of the south and north of the Jiuzhi Mountain, and the funeral queen of Tang Taizong will open the underground palace and bury it with it, this kind of atmosphere of taking the mountain as the mausoleum is unique in the previous dynasties! It is even more unattainable for future dynasties!
Shang Shang looked at the tall mountain in front of him, the rows of sacrificial halls, and couldn't help muttering: "Oh my God! ”
Li Mo twitched the horse's buttocks slightly, and the horse neighed and jumped forward, and then stopped in front of the dismount monument.
The merchant followed Li Mo sleepwalking, looking at the tall main hall at the end of the white marble steps in front of him, the glazed tiles glowing with brilliant golden light in the sunlight and the thick wooden pillars of dark red all showed a majestic majesty that made people's hearts palpitate.
"This is the world-famous Zhaoling!" Shang Shang calmed down, looked at Li Mo who was walking in front, and secretly admired in his heart!
"Come with me! It's a long walk to the main hall! Li Mo, who was walking in front, called without looking back, I don't know if it was because of the inextricable relationship, Li Mo, who had been talking and laughing with businessmen along the way, became silent at this moment.
"Huh? Why is there no one to guard it? The merchant walked behind Li Mo for a while, and the whole cemetery was quiet, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"When the emperor arrives in Liquan County, the sergeants guarding the mausoleum here have to go to pick up the car, and there is no one at this time." Li Mo walked on the stone steps of white marble without care, the expression on his face was indifferent, and there was no heaviness of sacrificing ancestors at all.
"Oh! So there is still this rule? Shang Shang nodded, and suddenly realized. She was wondering, why could she and Li Mo go so far and straight in?
"The emperor's tour, of course, is extraordinary." Li Mo half-turned his head and made a joke.
"Isn't that right? Otherwise, how can you call the emperor? Seeing that Li Mo's mood became better, the merchant laughed.
People are just different! Looking at the simple and almost simple small tomb of the nurse who grew up with Li Mo since childhood, and then looking at the huge mausoleum of the eldest grandson queen, which is so big that it occupies a mountain, the merchant deeply feels what it means to have a different life!
Or is this another reason why Li Mo is disgusted with Empress Changsun?
The heavy hall door was pushed open, and the flames of the three rows of tall white candles on both sides of the hall flickered. Li Mo and Shang Shang stood in the empty hall, stunned at the statue of the eldest grandson queen in the middle of the hall.
Shang Shang is because it is the first time to see the true face of the eldest grandson queen, and it is a statue larger than a real person, and the golden and dazzling feeling is indeed quite shocking; Li Mo looked at this woman with a compassionate face, but he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or sad.
Why? She can be kind to everyone in the world, and even her enemies she never speaks ill of, but only to him, never once smiling!
Seeing that Li Mo's expression was getting tighter and tighter, Shang Shang couldn't help but twitch in his heart, and hurriedly took two steps and pulled his sleeve.
"Silence! What's wrong? ”
"Nothing!" Li Mo wiped his face, turned his head, and pulled out a smile at the worried eyes of the Shangshang.
"Hurry up! If it's slow, I'm afraid that the emperor's car will come over, and we don't have much time. ”
"Hmm!" Shang Shang nodded, lifted the basket that he had almost forgotten outside, and placed it on the incense table in front of the statue of Empress Changsun.
The incense table is clean and tidy, the three livestock fruits are neatly placed, and the incense burner in the middle is also clean, without a trace of excess incense ash. The ever-bright lamps at both ends of the incense case burned quietly with white candles in the gradually brightening morning light, bringing out a faint fragrance.
The merchant took out a few porcelain plates from the basket, put them on the long incense table, and took out three sticks of incense and handed them to Li Mo.
"Since you're here, let's put on a few sticks of incense!"
Li Mo took the incense stick handed over by the merchant, staring at the red incense with his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, Fang Zhanyan smiled: "If you come, you will be safe!" As you said, after all, she gave birth to me, and she can be regarded as kind to me. If I can repay the grace of a drop of water, how much more should I be given flesh and blood? ”
"Take a step back and open the sky!" The merchant glanced at Li Mo encouragingly, and he also lit three incense sticks in his hand.
Li Mo lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt straight on the futon in the middle, his eyes staring directly into the statue's implicit compassion eyes, looking at this woman who was once a mother in the world from the perspective of a bystander for the first time.
If you put aside her ruthlessness towards him, Empress Eldest Sun is really a perfect woman! Even after her death, countless women were added to the palace, but no one could replace her position in Li Shimin's heart! Even if she is famous, Concubine Yang, who is the princess of the former dynasty, is eclipsed by her light.
"Empress Eldest Sun! Shang Shang and Li Mo have come to see you! Made some vegetarian dishes for you, I hope you like it! Shang Shang muttered softly, she still has a lot of respect for this prospective mother-in-law!
Li Mo was silent in a deep voice, and his eyes, which were as sharp as knives in the past, were also a little hazy at this time. Did you regret giving birth to me that day------ you?
"Silence! Stick the incense on! After kowtowing, the merchant gently tugged at the corner of Li Mo's clothes.
"Hmm!" Li Mo agreed softly, paused, and finally leaned over, knocked his head three times, and the sound of his forehead hitting the ground echoed muffled in the empty hall, shaking Shang Shang's heart for a while.
"These three rings are to pay tribute to you when you gave birth to me!" Li Mo said softly, and as soon as the words fell, three more heads knocked down.
"These three rings are to thank you for raising me for eight years!" Li Mo said in a deep voice again, and his forehead was already slightly red and swollen when it touched the ground.
The merchant was a little frightened and grabbed Li Mo's sleeve. What is he doing here?
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "Three more muffled noises in quick succession!
"These last three rings! It is to respect your eldest grandson, the queen is a generation of virtuous queens! I, Li Mo, respect you for three points! Li Mo straightened up under the vigorous pull of the businessman, his forehead was already bloodied, and his eyes were faintly wet: "However, from now on, I, Li Mo, will not come again, and from now on, I Li Mo will have no contact with you, I have my own way to go, and you ------don't have to send it off!" ”
"Silence!" The merchant took Li Mo's hand and exclaimed! What does he mean by that? Is it to break off with the eldest grandson and queen? That's his biological mother after all!
"Merchant!" Li Mo turned his head, stroked the worried face of the merchant, and smiled with relief: "Didn't you say that I can only feel at ease if I let go?" ”
Li Mo hugged the merchants, and turned his head to look at the eldest grandson queen who was standing in the hall speechlessly: "She gave birth to me and raised me for eight years, and she is also kind to me Li Mo!" But as a mother, she never cared for me, and I will pay her back nine kowtows today! It's kind of worth it. ”
The merchant looked up at Li Mo, who was relaxed, and wanted to say something more, but finally didn't say anything. Perhaps, this is the best for Li Mo!
Looking up at the statue of Empress Changsun, in a trance, Shang Shang seemed to see the deep regret in the eyes of Empress Changsun!
"Silence! Let's add the sesame oil we brought to the lamp! Since you're here, you have to do something to show your respect! ”
Seeing Li Mo's relaxed face, the merchant also decided to put aside the worries in his heart. Now that he has let go of himself and decided to look to the future, there is no point in asking for troubles for himself!
"Hmmm! That's good! Li Mo took a small pot of sesame oil handed over by the merchant, lifted the cover of the ever-bright lamp, gently picked up the wick, and slowly poured the lamp oil into it.
When the two of them poured out the lamp oil and raised their heads one by one, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and breathed a long sigh of relief as if they had done something big.
Yu Wenjing, who was hidden outside the main hall, looked at the two people in the hall with a shocked expression, and his thinking was extremely confused.
What the hell is going on? Why did Li Mo kneel and bow to the eldest grandson queen three times and nine times? And what did he mean by that? What gave birth to him and raised him for eight years? Could it be that Li Mo was born by the eldest grandson queen? But why did he stay in the Prince's Mansion with such a lowly status? What's the secret here?
Yu Wenjing felt that his head was about to explode! What the hell is going on?
Originally, Li Ke ordered him to follow Li Mo and Shangshang, but he was still a little unimpressed. didn't expect to follow him all the way down to discover such a shocking royal secret! Yu Wenjing only felt that the cool breeze behind him was gusting, and it was already sweaty and heavy!
"Let's go! While it's still early, I'll take you to Jiuzhi Mountain to take a look at the scenery! Li Mo took the merchant's hand and stroked the broken hair on her sideburns.
Looking at this day, the emperor's imperial chariot will be here in half an hour at most, if he stays any longer, he will inevitably collide with him, and he doesn't want to be found that he is here to worship the eldest grandson queen.
"Hmmm! Well, Jiuzhi Mountain is also quite high, but it was hollowed out by Li Shimin and made a mausoleum, which is really extravagant! I'm here this time, so I'm going to take a good look at it! ”
Shang Shang wrinkled his little nose, and his cute and cute appearance made Li Mo's heart move, as if he had lit a fire in his heart, and he hurriedly calmed down his mind and pinched her cheek.
Yu Wenjing, who was outside the hall, saw the two of them come out together, and hurriedly restrained his breath and hid into the shadows on the side of the hall.
It took a lot of effort to keep up with the two of them along the way. He stayed at the inn until the two of them had gone out before he followed him. In this way, he almost let the secret guards around Li Mo find out. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise he was afraid that he would be chased and killed all over the city like when he was in Luoyang!
When Li Shimin rushed to the mausoleum of Empress Changsun with a large group of people, there were only six incense sticks that had long been burned out and a few plates of exquisite vegetarian food left in the empty hall.
The surprise in Li Shimin's eyes flashed. Mo'er------ he is still here after all!
The bright yellow robe flashed at the palace gate, and all the ministers looked at the excited emperor walking around the cemetery with shocked faces, not understanding what happened to the emperor!
On the top of Jiuzhi Mountain in the distance, there seemed to be a faint singing voice:
"Love and hate are in an instant, raise a glass to the moon like the sky, love and hate are boundless, ask you when you will love, the chrysanthemum platform reflects the bright moon, who knows that my love is cold, drunk in the king's arms, dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty to love ------" (to be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
