Hearing the order, Zhang Dede breathed a sigh of relief, got up and went to the front to begin to persuade his people.

Zhang Deyu's speech in Dengzhou still has a lot of weight, he was born in the Academy of Literature and Literature, he knows how to organize, and it didn't take long for the road ahead to be empty.

Looking at the people on both sides of the road who kept buckling their heads and burst into tears, Leng Feng, who led the team, sighed.

It's definitely not just Dengzhou!

Facts have proved that Leng Feng's worries are right, the army is out of Dengzhou, as long as they pass through inhabited places along the way, there are always people who come out, kneeling near or far, and the old man who can't walk for many roads, and even wants his children and grandchildren to go out, just to kowtow to the deceased emperor.

The white-haired old men and old ladies are all people who have experienced the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Only those who have survived in the era of human life until now do they know how hard their lives are.

Those who spontaneously bowed down were all middle-aged and above, and they knew very well how much the Emperor Taishang had contributed to this Tang Dynasty and this prosperous era. And now the doll who is studying in the academy only learned about the existence of the Emperor Taishang in the books, and he didn't have much touch.

Emperors, each of them is a majestic figure, the emperor is everywhere, and it has been a dogma since ancient times that all the people bow down. It's just that when the people are not under pressure and dogma, and spontaneously bow down to an emperor, this emperor can be said to be extremely successful.

The catalpa wood is tasteless, but Li Shimin's coffin doesn't know what treatment has been done, obviously it is on the side of the carriage, and he can still smell a little fragrance.

Leng Feng, who was on the horse, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the side of the carriage, and said to the coffin: "I promised you that you would become a person of word of mouth, but now it seems that I have not broken my promise." It has been 300 miles out of Dengzhou, and in these 300 miles, the crying and seeing you off has not been cut off. As an emperor, you have achieved the degree that all the people are in pain and spontaneously kowtow to see them off, what are you not satisfied with? ”

The Empress Dowager of the Eldest Sun, who was guarding the coffin, struggled to stand up and saluted Leng Feng. This agreement, she also knows, has been forgotten with the passage of time. But today, when she heard Leng Feng's old words mentioned again, she realized that her husband's long-standing dream had actually been realized a long time ago.

That's right, when the emperor is at this level, what else can he not be satisfied with?

After Leng Feng left, the Empress Dowager finally fell asleep on her side by the coffin.

There are always people who are not afraid to die and gather in the way of the road, and if they are allowed to do so, the speed of the army's advance will be put on hold indefinitely. Leng Feng, who really had no choice, could only send a team of men and horses to go first, and when he met the people who wanted to worship the emperor, he guided them to get out of the way and see them off on both sides.

No one thought of driving them away, and the people sent them away, which is the pride of an emperor and the kindness of the people, and should be thanked, not abandoned.

Li Tai came, which surprised everyone.

Knowing that the army did not take the waterway, he marched day and night by boat, and met the army when it was only half a distance.

Li Tai, who fell in front of the carriage, did not change his experimental clothes, and his crying voice was hoarse. Leng Feng heard this apprentice cry more than once, but there was no time when he cried so heartbreakingly. Although he was mentally prepared, when this day came, Li Tai still didn't want to believe it.

The eldest grandson Empress Dowager hugged her son and comforted him for a long time before she stopped crying.

Along the way, from time to time, princes and princesses came from their fiefdoms and joined the team.

After learning the bad news, they did not choose to wait in Chang'an, but came over in advance along the railway and waterway.

When the army arrived in Luoyang, another team joined in.

It is the Xuanjia Army formed by Li Shimin, the establishment of the Xuanjia Army has not been canceled, although they are not as good as the Dragon Tooth Guard in terms of combat power, but as a team formed by Li Shimin himself, they have a long history that other armies do not have.

Since Luoyang, the trees on the side of the road are covered with white silk, satin, and linen. This was not required by the imperial court, but was prepared spontaneously by the surrounding people and merchants.

When they arrived here, gradually officials from the Ministry of Rites joined the team, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu even directly asked Leng Feng to take the right to guide.

At the emperor's funeral, Leng Feng only attended Li Yuan's, but he didn't know the specific details.

Even if it is the year of eternal peace, many rules are still dead.

There was no need to hold on to the command, Leng Feng simply handed over everything to the Ministry of Rites, and concentrated on taking care of Li Tai.

Li Shimin loves this fat son the most, and on the other hand, Li Tai is also the one who reacts the most violently, crying bitterly, and even makes him a little in a trance, how can he do if he doesn't take care of his master.

The team advanced to Chang'an City, at the gate of the city, where hundreds of civil and military officials were already waiting, and the leader was Li Chengqian, whose eyes were bloodshot.

After getting the news of his father's death, he also wanted to go over immediately, but as an emperor, there were many things that he could not be willful, and in comparison, Li Tai was much easier.

At the gate of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian took out a holy decree in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and the people of Chang'an.

The decree is no longer the bright yellow of the past, but white with black decorations.

Seeing this holy decree, Empress Eldest Sun also knelt down.

Seeing what Empress Changsun did, Leng Feng also had to kneel down.

If nothing else, this holy decree should be Li Shimin's, and it is something like a suicide note. Otherwise, with the respect of the queen mother of the eldest grandson clan, there is no need to bow down at all.

Opening the holy decree, Li Chengqian said: "This holy decree is written by my father and the emperor himself, and everyone must obey it and must not violate it. ”

After speaking, Li Chengqian read: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: I only hear the yin and yang of life and death, which are very different. With the capital of the living, the wealth of the deceased, I think it is foolish. This letter is written to the emperor to carry over the work, and I will show it to everyone. I accompany the funeral, and do not fill the things of gold and jade; The mausoleum of me shall not be martyred; I am dead, and I must not disturb the people. I can't go too far, admiring. ”

After listening to the content of the holy decree, it was obviously a day of national mourning, but Leng Feng still raised the corners of his mouth.

When Li Shimin was making every effort to drum up his own mausoleum for burial, Leng Feng once told him that no matter how many things are buried after death, they can't be used in the underworld, and maybe they will cheapen the tomb robbers of later generations. 、。

It was precisely because of Leng Feng's persuasion that Li Shimin stopped a little, just to get himself a terracotta-like funeral group. It seems to be a huge project, but in fact it is not very expensive. Compared to his single-minded idea of getting himself a golden coffin and decorating the tomb with a night pearl, it was nothing more than a trivial.

Although he expected it, when he really heard Li Shimin's will, Leng Feng was still quite moved. With Li Shimin's narcissistic nature, it can be said that it is extremely commendable to be able to abandon the luxurious funeral goods and abolish the huge ceremony.
