Chapter 358: Xiang Xiaoyu is dead

In 790 A.D., the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty Empress Xue died in the Lizheng Palace, and died at the age of 190, nicknamed the Holy Empress Wende, and was buried in Tang Zhaoling in November, and her favorite husband, Tang Emperor Tang Taizong Li Shimin, will always be with her. As the saying goes, "the way of the husband and wife, the same point of righteousness". Empress Changsun and Li Shimin slept and died together, living up to the righteousness of husband and wife, and the couple had a deep affection.

Three days after the death of Empress Changsun, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty held a grand funeral and announced the sad news of the unfortunate death of Empress Changsun to the people.

When the people of the Tang Dynasty heard the news of the death of their most beautiful and greatest eldest grandson, the whole country immediately trembled and mourned, and all of them wept bitterly, and there were boundless surging cries everywhere. Many people traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Empress Changsun, and countries around the world also sent mourning groups to Chang'an to pay tribute to the Empress Changsun they admired.

On the day of the funeral, the sky was gray, cloudy and cold, and it slowly began to rain lightly, as if the heavens were also crying for the death of this beautiful and legendary queen.

The rain and fog were bleak, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the entire Chang'an City fell into a boundless sorrowful whimper. The four arrow towers were planted with white flags and hung huge white flags. The north gate facing the Zhaoling Tomb of Jiuzhi Mountain was hung with a white cloth banner that almost covered half of the city wall - the pain of the Empress Changsun was high through the ages!

From Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty to Zhaoling in Jiuzhi Mountain, the official road for more than 100 miles, along the road was full of people from the Tang Dynasty who spontaneously came from all over the country to mourn the Empress Changsun. The sidewalks on both sides of the road through which the coffin passed were crowded with men, women and children. The road is so long, and there are so many people, that you can't see the end to the north or the end to the south.

The people of the country all wore sackcloth and wrapped their heads in filial piety, and paid tribute on both sides of the avenue leading to the Zhaoling of Jiuzhi Mountain. The sound of crying resounded through the mountains. The Tang people have a sacred reverence for the eldest grandson empress who gave them wealth, glory, dignity and strength. Regardless of women and children, almost everyone can tell several legendary stories of Empress Changsun opening up the territory to protect the family and defending the country, and the Tang people have heartfelt grief for the death of Empress Changsun. No one initiated, no one ordered, and the Tang people did not know much about cumbersome etiquette, they only saw off their eldest grandson queen with their own unique simplicity and generosity. On both sides of the avenue, there are various sacrifices spontaneously carried by the people of various counties, such as cow heads, sheep heads, and pig heads, all tied with red cloth and neatly placed on the stone slabs on the side of the road. Noodle people, noodle beasts, noodle cakes, dried fruits, dried meat, continuously. On the more than 100-mile official road from the north gate of Chang'an to Zhaoling, the sacrifices are placed into a long river. Every once in a while, there are old people sitting on straw mats, holding pottery xun, bamboo chis, wooden bangs, suona, and playing the sad and agitated "Tang Feng" funeral music, which is unbearable to listen to.

All this is in response to Confucius's sentiment about the funeral, "It is better to mourn than to mourn and have more than enough ceremony, but not to mourn more than enough to mourn." ”

After a few leading cars and escorts passed, the queen's hearse slowly drove in. The hearse is surrounded by black and yellow banners, decorated with white flowers, solemn and solemn. Empress Changsun's great-grandson, the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chun, wore linen and filial piety, sat in the hearse and held the coffin and wept, while other great-grandsons, great-great-grandsons, and future grandchildren wept bitterly behind Li Chun.

After seeing the hearse of the eldest grandson queen coming, many old people knelt deeply on the ground one by one, screaming and crying, crying like a child.

People were in a sad mood, with tears on their faces, and their eyes moved with the hearse. It was as if someone was commanding silently. The old man, the young man, and the child, all stood up straight, took off their hats, and looked at the hearse quietly, weeping, not bothering to wipe away the tears from their cheeks.

Heart-rending cries were everywhere on both sides of the official road.

In Chang'an City, Kyoto, the Tang Dynasty, Empress Changsun welcomed and sent off many international dignitaries from all over the world here, and accompanied the Tang Emperor to review how many Tang Dynasty. army and mass troops. People often happily see Empress Changsun, see her beautiful posture, charming face. However, today, she lay quietly in the hearse, gradually moving away, and said goodbye to the people of the Tang Dynasty!

The hearse moves forward slowly, touching the hearts of thousands of people. Many people ran after the hearse on the sidewalk. How people wish the car would stop, how much they wish that time would stop! But the hearse faded away, and finally disappeared into the twilight. People still faced the direction of the hearse, standing quietly, as if waiting for the return of Empress Changsun.

……

Empress Changsun is regarded as a heavenly immortal by the people of the Tang Dynasty, because no ordinary person can live to be 190 years old, and she will always look so young and beautiful. Empress Changsun is talented, knowledgeable, and martial arts, and has made great achievements for the strength and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Under the leadership of Empress Changsun, Datang has changed from a backward country with a simple "small peasant economy" that attaches importance to agriculture and animal husbandry to a modern, prosperous and powerful country that attaches importance to science and technology, industry, commerce and trade, as well as the multi-faceted development of primary industries such as agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and forestry. From simply attaching importance to the land of the mainland, to an advanced country that attaches importance to the ocean, space and the land of the continent in a multi-faceted and three-dimensional way.

Under the example of Empress Changsun, the status of women in Datang has been greatly improved, no man dares to say that "women are weak, women have long hair and short knowledge", the proportion of women who go out to work in Datang far exceeds that of other countries, and women have made outstanding contributions in many fields.

Empress Changsun advocated "governing the country according to law" and "everyone is equal before the law"; advocate the abolition of slavery, the abolition of torture, freedom of belief, freedom of marriage, and freedom of speech; advocate "putting government rights in a cage" and strengthen supervision of government rights; advocate the restraint of the parliament and the court on the imperial power to prevent the arbitrariness of the imperial power; However, she still advocates and attaches importance to Confucian ideology and morality such as loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, respect for the elderly, and filial piety. Chaos and aggression against the Tang Dynasty are "iron-fisted strikes", merciless, rigid and soft, and it is the consistent strategy of Empress Changsun.

Although Empress Changsun passed away, many of her famous words and speeches still inspire and encourage the people of Datang and the employees of Angel Company to continue to forge ahead.

A reporter once asked Empress Changsun what the secret of eternal youth was, and she smiled and said: "In the depths of your heart and mine, there is also a radio station, as long as it keeps receiving messages of beauty, hope, joy, courage and strength from the crowd and from infinite time, you and I will always be young." ”

When Datang encounters difficulties and crises, she always inspires everyone: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." The mountains are steep and majestic, and the sea is magnificent. A good life is not life in a greenhouse, not life in a vacuum. Wind and rain are the norm, rain or shine is the mentality, and wind and rain are the state. How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? "Thousands of blows are still strong, let the east, west, north and south winds", "don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not roar and walk slowly", no matter what kind of wind and rain, can not stop the people of Datang from running towards a better life. ”

Empress Changsun is a doer and a man of action, she pursues the "philosophy of action", she often says: "Only through wind and rain can you see a rainbow, and only when you cross a pass can you be flat."

"Those who do always succeed, and those who do always come';"Is it difficult or easy to do things in the world? For that, it is easy for those who are difficult; If you don't, it's easy and it's hard. "If we want to achieve a higher goal and meet a better life, we must carry forward the spirit of opening up the mountains and forests, we must maintain the vigilance of empty talk and hard work, grasp the oar of struggle, raise the sail of struggle, not afraid of wind and rain, indomitable, and forge ahead. As long as they fulfill their responsibilities, work hard, and go all out, they can stir up an all-encompassing and indestructible majestic force. ”

……

Under the leadership of Empress Changsun, the people of Datang fought against the wind and rain, overcame difficulties again and again, moved forward bravely step by step, wrote a historical chapter in the era of illumination, and created a better life of their own.

Empress Changsun's status in the international community and in the minds of the people of the Tang Dynasty is unparalleled, even Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who established the "rule of Zhenguan" in the prosperous era of the Qingming Dynasty, cannot be compared. Empress Changsun is the eternal "mother of the country", the eternal "mother", the eternal "angel" in the minds of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the "mother of science" unanimously recommended by the scientific community. After the death of Empress Changsun, many ordinary people spontaneously built many temples of Our Lady in their hometowns to worship her forever and ask her to bless her family with safety.

A good woman can change and benefit a family, and a good queen can change and benefit a country. Historically, the Tang Dynasty had only prospered and strengthened for more than a hundred years, and then quickly weakened after the "Anshi Rebellion". However, due to Xia Xue's crossing, which changed history, under her leadership, development and reform, Datang became stronger and became the only superpower in the world after more than 100 years of prosperity and strength.

Datang's science and technology are far ahead of other countries for thousands of years, Datang's most advanced science and technology are operated by the angel company, a super multinational private company, so it has been very good at protecting intellectual property rights and core technology secrets, and it is difficult for other countries to learn and imitate, although many other countries have invented firearms such as huo medicine guns and cannons, but the guns produced by Xia Xue's angel company are far from each other in terms of technology and quality. Now the new weapons produced by Angel Company that only equip the Angel Army are jet high-speed fighters, submarines, aircraft carriers, tanks, armored vehicles, robot warriors, intercontinental missiles, and nuclear bombs, while other countries have just developed HUO medicine guns, which are not comparable at all.

It is said that a certain country that is arrogant and arrogant wants to challenge the authority of the Tang Dynasty and invade an ally of the Tang Dynasty, and the war of aggression has only started one day before receiving a warning from the Tang Dynasty, but this country still does not listen, and invades the allies of the Tang Dynasty that are adjacent to it. The next day, the king of this country had just gotten up to have breakfast in the palace, when suddenly a missile fell from the sky, and the explosion power of the new type of bomb in the warhead carried by this missile was dozens of times higher than that of T En T, and a single missile flattened the entire palace to the ground, and everyone in it, including the arrogant king himself, was all gone. The war in that country ended quickly before it could be fought, and it was still badly defeated.

When other countries that were not convinced by Datang heard this, they were frightened, and since then the world has become peaceful and tranquil again, because of Datang, a powerful guardian of peace on earth, no country dares to make a mistake. Xia Xue once said, "The so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and there can only be one strongest country on the earth, so that peace can be maintained for a long time." Datang wants to be the strongest country, and Datang is the patron saint of world peace! ”

……

Li Tai's great-grandson Li Hao stood in front of Zhaoling, and his father's dying teachings rang in his ears: "Child, you must run the angel company better, so that you can have the financial resources to continue to explore space, so as to realize the wishes and dreams of your great-grandmother, the eldest grandson and queen!" ”

"Dad, what are my great-grandmother's wishes and dreams?"

"Save humanity, save the civilization of the earth!"

“……”

The exploration of space by the Angel Company, founded by the Empress Eldest Sun, continues.

In 860 AD, human genetic optimization technology had matured and began to be applied in Datang, of course, it was not mandatory, and it had to be paid. Tens of millions of young employees, engineers and researchers at Angel Inc., a global super-multinational company, are the most active people in optimizing the genes of future generations, because they believe in the power of Angel Inc. and the magical power of technology.
