Standing in front of the saint was an old general, his sideburns and beard were already white, but his spirit looked good, and his body was tough! Hearing that he was coming to escort him, the saint couldn't help but reach out and hold him tightly, and said excitedly: "Chen Xuanli! I didn't think you would be here today, I ... Touched! ”

Chen Xuanli also cried excitedly: "The last general has fought with the saint for a lifetime, and has experienced countless ups and downs, what a big deal it is to be canonized by the saint today!" Even if the last general is over seventy years old, he will fight for this old life to protect the saint! Last night, the last general arrived at the East Palace, met His Royal Highness the Prince, and begged him to bring the last general here. ”

After hearing this, the sage unconsciously turned his head to look at the prince, and then turned his head to Chen Xuanli and said, "Okay, good, it's good to come!" ”

The saint said goodbye to Chen Xuanli, and slowly walked up the stairs alone, he looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Since I became the throne, it has been decades, and now the Tang Dynasty stands proudly in the world, and all countries come to the court, which is really a great blessing!" I am commanded by the heavens, today Ying Long is about to appear, the world will change, and I can be canonized, this is an auspicious sign! After today, I also hope that you will join forces with Datang to continue the society from generation to generation! ”

"Whoa! Long live the saints, long live, long live! All the people of His Highness bowed down and shouted together.

The sage continued: "You are all my relatives, according to my words, he also hopes that you will work together, respect and love each other, and be more friendly than harmony, and work together to protect this Tang Dynasty's eternal generals!" ”

"Whoa! Long live the saints, long live, long live! The crowd shouted in unison again. After the sage said that, he slowly turned around and went back to the dormitory, and the eunuch immediately said loudly: "The sage burns incense, bathes, and changes clothes, please move to the Daozheng Tower!" Welcome to the dragon together! ”

"Whoa! The ministers are retired, long live the saint, long live, long live! After shouting in unison, everyone retreated slowly and orderly in an orderly manner.

At this time, the outside of the Shengtang Palace was also crowded with people, these were civil and military officials at all levels above the third grade of Chang'an City, all neatly dressed in their respective official offices, hanging fish bags, jade pendants and other things around their waists, according to the size of the official position, arranged in an orderly manner, under the unified leadership of Yang Guozhong, the right minister, they had been waiting here for a long time. Standing at the front is Yang Guozhong, he is wearing a round-necked narrow-sleeved purple robe, and his hair accessories are also specially trimmed, he knows in his heart that today is a big day for the saint, but for him, it is more important! The saint is still in power, in the final analysis, he is the first choice! If things go well, after today, he will be called the right minister, but in fact, the power has covered the world, for which he has been excited all night long, and he is already itching at this moment!

A eunuch slowly walked out of the Holy Soup Palace, glanced around at everyone, and immediately ordered loudly: "By the mouth of the saint, please enter the Daozheng Tower with me and wait!" Everyone replied in unison, "Oh! So, led by Yang Guozhong, they slowly entered the Holy Tang Palace together.

Today's Shengtang Palace is more heavily fortified than in the past, and there are guards with halberds on both sides of the road, but the guards are not wearing armor, and they have all changed into light yellow uniforms, presumably to welcome Ying Long. The road of the Holy Soup Palace has long been washed by pure water, and the fragrance is burned along the road, and once you enter the Holy Soup Palace, it is like entering a place of freshness outside the world. Many of the people in the crowd arrived here for the first time, so they had already been shocked by the solemn palace buildings and this extraordinary arrangement of Huaqing Palace, and they couldn't help but be speechless! However, I was afraid that the noise would disturb the surroundings, so I could only be silently surprised in my heart!

Everyone slowly walked to the back of the main hall of the Holy Tang Palace, and at this time, the princes and nobles led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also arrived at the ground, and for a while, three or four hundred people gathered in this small courtyard, which seemed to be a little crowded. The right minister saw the prince, and immediately stepped forward and bowed down and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the prince." ”

The prince returned the salute and said coldly: "This palace looks at the weather today and the right minister is extraordinary, it seems that he is confident, right?" ”

Yang Guozhong, the right minister, looked down at himself, and pretended to be surprised and said: "The canonization of a saint is a great thing, and the prime minister does not dare to slack off, so he cleaned up a good life, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled." ”

The prince sneered: "It turns out that the right minister is dressed like this for the saint's canonization, and this palace thinks it is for himself, but this palace is short-sighted, and I hope that the right minister will forgive me." The prince's words were full of cynicism, and everyone else could hear it. But the right minister disagreed, and continued to smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too worried, but it's normal, the world always likes to pinch out of thin air, but... In the end, I always hurt myself. After that, his eyes couldn't help but become fierce.

The prince did not fall behind, and responded coldly: "Oh, I see, Xie Youxiang advises, and the palace remembers it." Then he turned around and said no more.

As soon as the prince and the right minister met, they seemed a little tense, and the atmosphere was very tense, so the people present became extremely quiet and did not dare to speak up. Yang Yuhuan on the side slowly stepped forward, and smiled at the right minister: "I've seen my brother, how is my brother in recent days?" ”

The right minister was busy with the prince just now, and he didn't notice the concubine Niangniang on the side, at this time, seeing her take the initiative to ask, he was suddenly a little frightened in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister has seen the concubine Niangniang, the status of the concubine Niangniang is noble, don't call the minister as a brother in front of everyone, in this way, it is a pain for the old man!" ”

Yang Yuhuan continued to laugh and said: "Brother is serious, we are from the same sect, why should we be so formal? Hongu just wants to say hello to his brother. ”

Hearing this, Yang Guozhong hurriedly bowed down again and said: "Xie Guifei is worried about her mother, the minister is in good health, and everything in the family is good." Yang Yuhuan continued to greet Yang Guozhong for a few words, which eased the tense atmosphere just now a lot, and everyone in the crowd relaxed a little.

At the same time, three people who looked like Taoist children walked out of the main hall of the Holy Soup Palace, and everyone hurriedly greeted them when they saw this, and after the three of them came to stand in front of the three doors in the backyard, one of them said loudly: "The saint has entered the Holy Soup Palace to bathe, ready to change clothes, and obeyed the sage's oral order, please enter the Daozheng Tower first!" Everyone bowed down and shouted, "Oh! By the will of the saints! ”

As soon as the words fell, the three Taoist boys turned around and slowly pushed open the three doors on the wall, as the gate opened, the crowd couldn't help but hear a low shout, someone was the first to see the scene behind the door, and couldn't help but be amazed! As soon as this sound came out, everyone hurriedly raised their heads quietly, stretched their heads out and looked into the door, no matter who it was, they couldn't help but be amazed when they saw the scene behind the door! No one could have imagined that there would be such a masterpiece on top of this moat!

At this time, a light rain began to drift in the sky, and a cold wind blew, which inevitably made people feel excited. The Taoist boy in the center said loudly: "Behind me is the way of God, which is what the dragon does, please worship to show your sincerity!" As soon as the words fell, everyone knelt on the ground and bowed to the door three times together, at first the prince was a little inexplicable, but seeing Yang Yuhuan leading the way, he didn't dare to delay.

Before everyone got up, the second Dao Tong slowly pushed open the door on the left, and the Dao Tong said loudly again: "This is the way of the king, for the saint to walk, please worship, pray for the saint!" This time the crowd heard it clearly, and immediately bowed three times, and stood up and shouted, "Long live the saint, long live, long live!" Dao Tong raised his hand to signal everyone to get up, and turned around and slowly pushed open the third door, and said loudly: "This is humanitarian, please cross the bridge on this road and go to the Daozheng Tower together!" ”

The three gates have been opened, and the scene behind them can be seen clearly! At this time, the rain in the sky was heavier, and a thin mist floated between the moats, surrounding the Taoist Tower, looking at it from a distance through the door, the black and white symmetrical Taoist Tower seemed to be suspended in the air, like a fairyland! Seeing that everyone's eyes were straight, their hearts were amazed!

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Dao Tong said loudly again: "Please walk along the humanity and enter the Daozheng Tower as soon as possible!" As soon as he urged like this, everyone eased up, and the right minister and the prince unconsciously began to walk a few steps forward, but as soon as they looked down in front of the door, they felt a shock in their hearts, and the back spine was cold, even if they crossed this road on weekdays, they were inevitably cold, and it was raining again at this time, and the bridge was slippery, and if you accidentally lost your foot, it was really a catastrophe!

The right minister didn't want others to see his horror, so he pretended to bow down to the prince calmly and said: "His Royal Highness the prince is the prince of the East Palace, so he should go first, and the prime minister should follow behind." ”

The prince was also shocked when he saw this bridge, and when he saw that the right minister was prevaricating, he responded: "The right minister is the head of a hundred officials, and he is older than the palace, so it is better for the right minister to go first!" Please! "With that, he raised his hand to lead the way for the right phase!

The two people who are-for-tat in everything on weekdays are courteous to each other at this time, and the scene is a little unexpected, but they shirk each other for a long time, and they don't see any of them go first, he and the two don't move, and the subordinate henchmen such as Li Mi, Guo Ziyi and others who dare to cross the thunder pool half a step, seeing that the dispute is not over, suddenly Yang Yuhuan took a step forward and interjected: "This bridge earlier, the palace has been fortunate to observe first, if the two do not give up, the palace is willing to cross the bridge first, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

The two of them were worried about what to do next, this Yang Yuhuan suddenly appeared, but it really relieved the siege for the two, and the prince took the lead in bowing down and said: "The concubine Niangniang is the favorite concubine of the saint, and she is also the elder of the palace, so she should go first!" ”

Seeing this, the right minister hurriedly echoed: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is reasonable, and it should be the noble concubine Niangniang first!" ”

Yang Yuhuan smiled lightly at the two of them, and immediately walked in the direction of the bridge, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he turned around and asked: "It's raining, the bridge is slippery, is anyone willing to come forward to support the palace?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, Yang Yuhuan, as a noble concubine, was favored by the saint, who dared to step forward to support ordinary people? At this time, he will have many incidents in the future, so no one dares to answer for a while.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly replied: "Guifei Niangniang, let this king come to help you cross the bridge!" ”
