Now Chang'an, the world's undisputed first male city, framed into several surrounding counties, and moved over a large number of Hu people from the Western Regions for the service industry, the total number of residents of the city reached more than five million, more than half of the population of Xi'an in later generations, even if there are many five- to seven-story buildings in the city, the houses within the new city wall still look very dense, and the streets are full of people all day long.

In the early morning, dozens of luxury steam locomotives with open sheds drove to Weishui Wharf and lined up in a queue, among them, the main guest car was full of colorful silk and flowers, and with the early morning sun rising, the people in Chang'an City and the surrounding areas who had just finished spring ploughing were also tied with colorful silk and carried flower baskets, and converged on the road leading to the Temple of Heaven in the north of the city from this wharf.

Weishui Wharf is originally in the north of Chang'an, away from the location of the Temple of Heaven, but only a dozen miles, and it is also thanks to this road that carries the traffic of the whole city to the wharf, so it was built nearly 100 meters wide, otherwise, more than a million people gathered over, and they don't know what it will be crowded.

According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites and the publicity in the early stage, after Sun Xiangfu arrived in Chang'an, he would take a car directly from the dock to the Temple of Heaven and start the canonization ceremony, so as not to toss the people who want to come to visit the ceremony or greet them.

And Li Shimin himself, after the end of the morning court meeting, led all the officials in Beijing to rush to the Temple of Heaven, here, although there is a large open field of 99,900 square meters, but at most, it can only stand down more than 100,000 people, just tens of thousands of courtiers lined up, will also occupy more than half of the position, plus the drummers, and the forbidden army to maintain the order, can really see the ordinary people in the position of the high altar in the surrounding area, at most only tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, this road is the only place where Sun Xiangfu can greet the people face-to-face after returning with honor.

Li Chunfeng is worthy of being a meteorological expert, on the day he chosen, at least the weather looks very good, at about 9 o'clock in the morning, the fleet arrived at the dock at the scheduled time, Xue Li, Xi Junmai and others disembarked first, and led his subordinate soldiers to line up the honor guard.

The soldiers of the honor guard, who were all wearing brand-new military uniforms, had a very good temperament and image, even their height and figure were as neat as a knife, and after they lined up on the dock, Sun Xiangfu and others began to get off the boat and board the car.

Seeing his figure, the people who came to watch and greet him on the dock immediately waved red silk and flowers, and the cheers rose higher and higher, leading Sun Xiangfu, who was dressed like a sculpture, to smile and wave to them.

After the car in charge of the sergeant in charge of the honor guard and the car in charge of the drum music along the road started first, the car that Sun Xiangfu was riding in also began to move slowly, and the other courtiers who accompanied him, or Sun Xiangfu's relatives and friends, followed in the car behind.

The convoy walked very slowly, which was also arranged in the process, and at the same time fully released public opinion, let everyone feel the demeanor of Sun Xiangfu, the new saint, which was the consensus reached by the officials of the Ministry of Rites after discussion.

So, Sun Xiangfu smiled and waved to the people in the car, and the time to accept the cheers of the people would last for more than an hour.

The sound of drums and the cheers of the people covered up the roar of the steam engine, and seeing the heartfelt joy on the faces of those people, Sun Xiangfu, who was standing in the car, suddenly stopped being entangled, saint, saint! Who called these people need?

Living in an era with an agricultural saint like himself, the people have a kind of reliance in their hearts, at least, for farming, there is a confidence that the people of any previous era cannot match.

In fact, the happiest person at this time should be Yu Xiuer.

Her long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled, and the house of the saint is her ultimate pursuit.

At this time, she smiled at the people and showed all eight teeth, and she didn't think that smiling would be a very difficult job.

Even, in her mind, she has now imagined how awesome her descendants are in the eyes of the world.

"Husband! After the ceremony is over, we have to go home and set up a family rule, so that our children and grandchildren can act according to the family rules and maintain the family demeanor, reflecting the difference between our saint's family and ordinary people's families. Yu Xiu'er kept a smile on her face and whispered to Sun Xiangfu in a breathy voice.

"Don't toss the children, decades later, there are few people who can remember the scenery of our family today, what can be passed on for a long time will always be knowledge, let them live in my shadow, it's not a good thing, I look forward to them being able to get out of their own way, just like Jing'er and Ah Xiang They raise animals and research drugs to treat animals, Wanyu They raise insects and develop biopharmaceuticals, every field, research to a certain extent, can benefit mankind."

"Just those things that Jing'er and the others made, and they still benefit mankind? How did I hear that the pet store they opened in Chang'an couldn't even earn a thousand guan a month. Yu Xiu'er was a little unconvinced.

"Their pet store has dozens of branches across the country, and each of them earns dozens or hundreds of yuan, adding up, it is thousands of yuan a month, at least tens of thousands a year! This is just the industry has just emerged, there are not many people who like to raise, and when it is promoted in the future, their stores will open to hundreds or thousands, and they may earn millions a year, but don't underestimate the potential of any industry. Sun Xiangfu helped Sun Jing speak.

Although, with Yu Xiu'er's current vision, even if she earns millions of yuan a year, it is not a very remarkable thing, but when she heard that Sun Jing was doing an industry that could earn money to support herself, Yu Xiu'er was somewhat relieved, and continued to smile and said, "Okay, okay, you are a saint, listen to you, in the future, I will take care of the children's affairs." ”

Li Chengqian, who was on the side, vaguely heard the topic of the two of them chatting, and felt funny in his heart, if the people knew, the two of them were chatting about it in the face of all the attention, but it was a common gossip, I don't know what it would be like.

Keeping a smile and waving all the time is actually a very tiring job, although the car goes slowly, but after all, there is a time to reach the destination.

In the Temple of Heaven Square, hearing the cheers like a tsunami in the distance, Li Shimin knew that the convoy was coming, Li Shimin and his wife held hands, walked down from the high platform, step by step, and stood at the end of the red carpet that had been laid out early in the morning.

The honor guard stopped first, and after the soldiers got off the car, they walked into the arena neatly, lined up on both sides of the red carpet, Li Shimin and his wife stood on the red carpet in front of the Temple of Heaven stairs, smiling and looking at Sun Xiangfu, who was holding Yu Xiu'er's arm, and walking towards his own Sun Xiangfu.

When the two living saints met, they did not do any bowing etiquette, but stretched out their right hands to each other, clasped them tightly, and shook them three times, which is a new meeting etiquette that Datang wants to promote to the people.

Of course, they don't just shake hands, they talk, but what they say! Ordinary people can't think of it.

Li Shimin was the first to speak, "What I owe you all these years, this time, I have paid it all off." ”

Sun Xiangfu smiled slightly, "Your Majesty has never owed a minister, but it is a minister, and you should thank Your Majesty for your love." ”

The eldest grandson queen on the side interjected, "Thank you, you have to use practical actions to show that Your Majesty's reward can allow your descendants to enjoy the title of Nongsheng Duke for generations, and rest with the country, you have to look at the value of the reward!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu's face turned embarrassed, and he said in his heart, I am afraid that the character of the eldest grandson queen will not be changed in this life.

Yu Xiu'er, who was standing beside him, answered with a smile, "In terms of returns, my husband has prepared it early in the morning!" When His Majesty adds the title of 'Supreme Human Emperor', he will offer it. ”

Empress Eldest Sun asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

Sun Xiangfu seemed to have thought of something, and preemptively spoke before Yu Xiu'er could reply, "I can't tell you now." ”

"Hehe, you're naughty in school, don't think that if you become a saint, this palace won't be able to clean you up." Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"The minister is a saint, you and Your Majesty, but the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen! Of course, I've packed up my minister, this thing! It's not just Your Majesty, it's you! Sun Xiangfu followed the words of Empress Eldest Sun.

Hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "You have a heart." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it again, the ears of those Aiqing who are lined up are going to be opened, today Zhengming is the protagonist, and now the auspicious time has come, the two of you will go to the altar to worship the sky together!"

What Li Shimin wants to do today is to add the holy crown to Sun Xiangfu, but he, who personally participated in the formulation of the canonization process, is familiar with what needs to be done in this link, reminded.

Such a grand ceremony, if it was in the past, there would generally not be a woman present, but over the years, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty has been changing, and in line with the public opinion of more local people, like the Byzantines, the emperor does not take the queen to complete the grand ceremony, it is incomplete.

In Datang, where the status of housewives is not low, as women are invested in more production, the social atmosphere is also undergoing some changes, whether in the professional field or in the family, women are more and more respected and have stronger autonomy.

Therefore, like similar ceremonies, women generally have to attend, just like the first lady will attend major ceremonies in our country in later generations, which can be regarded as a kind of progress of the times.

Under the gaze of Li Shimin and his wife, as well as tens of thousands of ministers and hundreds of thousands of people who gathered around, Sun Xiangfu took Yu Xiuer's hand and began to walk towards the steps of the red carpet, and at this time, tens of thousands of musicians scattered around the square also began to play ceremonial music.

This kind of music, which used to be used only when the emperor and his wife appeared, Sun Xiangfu was also qualified to use it, and as the rolling sound waves spread out in the crowd, everyone present knew that a new saint was about to be born.
