But it was said that the red feather was in a hurry to run all the way, and the tired crotch of the war horse kept foaming at the mouth, but fortunately, there was a post station every hundred miles next to the official road, which allowed him to change horses and continue to gallop.

The horse can rest, but Hongling is in a hurry to not rest, he passed through seven post stations in a row along the way, and changed horses seven times before and after, galloping, like crazy, and finally at dusk, the city wall of Chang'an City appeared in front of him.

At this time, Hongling was extremely tired, and the whole person was completely supported by a perseverance, he ran 800 miles in one day, and he also ran 600 miles last night, and he didn't sleep for a day and a night, and his iron body couldn't stand it. But few people know that he has been from Liaodong for seven days and seven nights.

For seven days and seven nights, he rested every other day and night, and slept only two nights and one day in total, but he ran wildly on the road for six days and five nights.

In six days and five nights, he ran 7,000 miles in a row, although the mileage in ancient times could not be compared to later generations, but after conversion, it was also 5,000 miles away.

Red Feather was already tired and crumbling, but his spirits became extremely excited.

Chang'an City has finally arrived.

Because it was already evening, and the gate of Chang'an was about to close, Hongling hurriedly whipped the horsewhip suddenly, and at the same time pulled out the Hongling inserted behind it.

He lifted the red feather high, the whole person's spirit was excited again, he went crazy and whipped the war horse, let out a hoarse roar from his mouth, and shouted: "Liaodong victory, 300,000 battles, I am the red feather urgency, come here to report the victory, stop closing the door, stop closing the door......"

With a wild roar, he ran madly towards the city gate.

At this time, the gate of Chang'an was already half closed, and the guards who closed the gate suddenly stopped all movements.

Liaodong victory?

Did we hear you right?

When did Liaodong fight?

Our Datang doesn't seem to have sent troops recently.

The soldiers guarding the city gate looked at each other, and for a moment they only felt their brains buzzing.

Hongling hurriedly ran wildly, and finally got closer and closer to the gate of Chang'an, but no one could have expected that his excitement would kill him.

When people are extremely tired, they are supported purely by perseverance, what is perseverance? Perseverance is the breath held in the chest, and once this breath is relaxed, the spirit of the person will be defeated in an instant.

Hong Ling hurriedly ran for six days and five nights, seeing that he had finally arrived in Chang'an City, his spirit was at the top, and the breath he was holding in his chest had already relaxed.

Poof!

Just when there were still ten battles away from the city gate, the Red Feather Urgency suddenly spurted out a mouthful of black blood.

But he seemed to have fallen into some kind of indescribable state, and he didn't even know that blood was spurting out of his mouth, and he was still holding the red feather high in his hand, and kept roaring hoarsely: "Liaodong victory, 300,000 battles, Liaodong victory, 300,000 battles, I am ......"

He suddenly fell to the ground in a scream, and the whole person smashed straight in front of the gate of Chang'an City.

This situation seemed unbelievable to later generations, but there were many examples in ancient times, and the soldiers who defended the city seemed to be quite experienced, and they immediately knew that this red feather was in a hurry and could not bear it.

Only the Red Feather Envoy didn't know about his situation.

Although he fell off the horse, he still thought that he was riding a horse to report the victory, he clutched the red feather in his hand, and still roared and shouted in his mouth, lying on the ground and shouting: "Liaodong is a great victory, 300,000 battles, I am the red feather urgent, quickly get out of the way......"

In the midst of the shouting, the breath quickly withered and exhausted.

At this time, a figure flashed at the gate of the city, and suddenly saw a general rushing out, and the general rushed to the Red Feather Messenger like crazy, and picked up the Red Feather Messenger from the ground, and then roared like a thunderbolt in his mouth: "Comrade, wake up!" ”

However, Hongling hurriedly made his eyes dazed, his face was flushed with an inhuman strangeness, his breath was very sluggish, blood foam splashed out of his mouth, and his whole person fell into an unknown state, constantly repeating the words that could not be forgotten, and said: "I am Hongling's urgent envoy, I have come here to report the great victory, Liao... Liaodong, 300,000 ......"

Tears rolled in the eyes of the gatekeeper general, and he suddenly carried the red feather on his back, and then he shouted at the defenders like crazy, and shouted: "Horse! ”

In fact, there was no need for him to shout, the soldiers had already brought a horse.

The goalkeeper turned over and got on the horse with the red feather on his back, and shouted again with tears rolling in his eyes, saying, "Comrade, you hold on!" ”

He wiped away a handful of tears, his face showed an unusually resolute color, and said, "General Ben is taking you to the palace now, and he must let you complete your mission." Colleagues, hold on, hold on, Your Majesty is waiting for your news, and the whole of Chang'an is also waiting for your news......"

When Hongling heard the word 'mission', his whole spirit was lifted, and then he woke up from that unknown state, and immediately knew that he could no longer hold on.

He suddenly struggled to get up, tore open his clothes and reached into his arms, he took out a thick silk book from the most secret place in his arms, and stuffed it into the hands of the goalkeeper along with the red feather.

And then.

He wrapped his hands around the general's neck, and let out the last roar of his life in his throat, saying: "The red feather will not fall, the messenger will not be destroyed, hold it, shout great victory......"

"Good!"

The goalkeeper burst into tears, and really raised Hongling high, and he twitched the horsewhip fiercely with his other hand, shouting: "Get out of the way, I am Hongling's urgency!" ”

He is obviously the gatekeeper of Chang'an City, but at this moment, he claims to be the Hongling urgent envoy, just because of the Hongling in the hands of his next comrades, he wants to complete the unfinished mission of his comrades.

The war horse neighed and rushed into Chang'an from the city gate.

At this time, there was no curfew in Chang'an City, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, but the gatekeeper ignored it, he held the red feather in his hand and kept roaring, roaring: "I am the red feather urgent envoy, come here to report the victory, Liaodong battle, 300,000 ......"

The whole long street, to make way for him.

Whether it is a scholar or a tourist leisurely shopping, or a small merchant or hawker doing business, everyone consciously dodges and avoids, standing on both sides and watching the war horses gallop wildly.

They knew this general on horseback and knew that he was the general guarding the city gate, and when they saw the red feather envoy behind the general guarding the gate, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in their hearts.

They could see clearly that the Red Feather Envoy had closed his eyes. But when he was dying, he still did not forget his mission, and his hands were tightly wrapped around the neck of the goalkeeper.

Gradually, someone clasped their hands into fists, and gradually, the long street became silent.

Only the hooves of the war horses roared, as if the entire Chang'an was shrouded in the roar of the gatekeepers.

"I am Hongling's urgent envoy, and I am here to report the victory......"

……

When I finally arrived at the palace, I saw the main entrance.

The official position of the gatekeeper is not high, and he is not qualified to enter the palace according to the law, but he has no intention of stopping his horse, but instead raises the red feather in his hand and roars again, roaring: "Get out of the way!" ”

Yu Linwei in front of the palace really made way for him.

Not only did he get out of the way, but someone helped to open the way, but when he saw the general guarding the palace gate running wildly, he ran at a speed that was not inferior to that of a war horse.

So in the entire palace, there was a roar like thunder!

"Liaodong Victory, Goguryeo Pacification ......"

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the voice became more and more excited, only half a cup of tea, and suddenly hundreds of knights rushed out of the palace, these knights were all royal hundred knights, and they rushed to the major portals in Chang'an City.

Every time the hundred horsemen arrived at a house, they immediately issued Li Shimin's command, and their tone was extremely resolute, with no doubt:

"Pass the emperor's order, civil and military officials will enter the palace immediately, and the emperor will gather in the Taiji Hall together, and the Tang Dynasty will go to the night court today."

On the night pilgrimage?

For generations, I have only heard of the early dynasty, and I have never heard of the upper night dynasty, but Li Shimin created this precedent, and hundreds of civil and military officials went to the night dynasty today.

Not only civil and military officials, but even the royal underage princes also had to participate.

Everyone must gather in the Taiji Hall and face a dead Red Feather Rush to hear the victory......

Now that it is the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's authority is becoming more and more stable, and no minister dares to resist the emperor's order openly, even if he has four surnames and six hopes, he has to obediently obey it.

Soon, the entire Chang'an street became lively.

But seeing one carriage after another, one by one healthy horses on the street, Wenchen riding in a car, military generals riding horses, everyone hurried to the palace, and gradually more than 1,500 people gathered in front of the gate of the Taiji Palace.

In the past, the number of people in the Tang Dynasty generally did not exceed 300 people, and occasionally there was a stalemate in some political affairs, and there would be a court meeting of about 800 people.

As for the number of people reaching 1,500, such a court meeting is only held twice a year, once on New Year's Day and once on the winter solstice.

The last dynasty never said that it was night, and it was even more impossible for the great court to be held at night, but Li Shimin sent a hundred horsemen to issue an edict and summoned more than 1,500 ministers to come to the night court.

There was a strange thing about this matter, which made the ministers very inexplicable, and some ministers were uneasy, always feeling that something big might happen tonight.

Chang'an is the imperial capital, can't hide any news, not long ago Hongling rushed into the city they have learned, many people already know that Liaodong has fought a big victory.

It's just a big win!

In terms of meritorious deeds, the reward is.

Why make such a big deal and hold a night pilgrimage on a big night?

Night Morning ......

These two words are unheard of, and they are simply a precedent for all generations.

Datang has often won battles in recent years, and after the battle, there are often Hongling urgent envoys to report victory, and occasionally there are cases where the urgent messenger is tired to death on the spot, but I have never heard of a messenger who is tired and killed.

When things are abnormal, it often means that they cannot be guessed, and what ministers fear most is that they cannot be guessed.

Bang!

The gate of the Taiji Hall suddenly opened, but he saw two Jin Wuwei standing at the door and said, "Your Majesty has an order, please ask all your ministers to go to court." ”

Go to court!

On the night court!

The ministers glanced at each other, and each entered the door according to their official positions, and the first batch of ministers who entered the door were stunned at first, with extremely surprised expressions on their faces.

But seeing that there was a huge butter candle burning in the hall, reflecting the entire Taiji Hall as bright as day, to everyone's surprise, Li Shimin actually arrived ahead of schedule.

This is another precedent!

In the past dynasties, there has never been an emperor and other courtiers in the previous dynasties.

And Li Shimin did not sit on the dragon chair, but stood in the center of the court hall with his hands in his hands, and there was a messenger lying on the ground in front of the emperor, and next to the messenger knelt on one knee the gate guard order of Chang'an City.

When the ministers entered the main hall, Li Shimin was looking up at the top of the hall with his hands down, and suddenly sighed lightly in his mouth, and said with deep meaning: "I have been waiting for today, for many years......

Just seven words made some ministers faintly burst out of their hearts.

……

…… Two consecutive hairs, sent together.
