Chapter 434: Layers of Guards
Tang to Lao Tzu Li Er as the ancestor, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the emperors of all dynasties have respect for Lao Tzu, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty is tolerant of all rivers, there is tolerance is great, the three schools of interpretation, Confucianism and Taoism coexist, the reason why the Taoism that was not valued before the Tang Dynasty can have the qualification to coexist with the Buddha and Confucianism is entirely because of the relationship between Lao Tzu.

After all, if you think about it, since the Li Tang clan admits Lao Tzu's own ancestors, it is natural to pay a certain amount of attention to the Taoist doctrine founded by his ancestors, and since the founding of the country, whether it is a princess, a prince or a relative of the royal family, it is not uncommon for the royal family to become Taoist priests, whether it is the previous Princess Taiping and the current Princess Yuzhen, Princess Jinxian, or the Taizhen Concubine who is now the favorite harem, several people have been Taoists.
The sacrificial ceremony of the Taimiao Temple is the most important part of the three stations, and the completion of the Taimiao sacrifice means that the majestic imperial mausoleum ancestor worship has been completed seventy percent, and the remaining eastern suburbs worship the ancestors is not so much an ancestor worship as an outdoor event held by the royal family.
After the wine ceremony, the rest is naturally to chase after the ancestors of the past dynasties, after all, only in this way will Li Longji, the Holy Xuanwu Emperor of Kaiyuan, be more stable and will not cause criticism, and Li Qing naturally doesn't care about these indifferent titles
For the title of the first emperor Li Qing did not pay attention to the big but for the title of Lao Tzu Li Qing is to pay attention to, the Holy Ancestor Xuanyuan Emperor, the temple name Taiqing Palace, I have to say, this honorific name Li Qing did not expect, although since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have been posthumously sealed for Lao Tzu, but they have a degree of respect, if the previous generations of emperors praised Lao Tzu as a generation of saints, then the current Emperor Xuanzong has indeed respected Lao Tzu as an omnipotent god.
In fact, it was not only Li Qing who was surprised, when he heard Zong Zhengqing shout the words "Holy Ancestor Xuanyuan Emperor" in his vigorous voice, Li Qing deliberately paid attention to the few people next to him and the hundreds of civil and military officials behind him, many of them showed shocked eyes on their faces, and from their performance Li Qing found that it was obvious that this title was awarded by Li Longji alone, and he did not discuss it with the hundred officials in the court.
If it weren't for Li Longji's own decision, the civil and military officials would definitely not show such a surprised look at this moment, although the kings and the hundred officials looked stunned, but after all, it was personally instructed by His Majesty the Emperor, so naturally there was no one who stood up to express his dissatisfaction.
After the reward, after kowtowing to the spiritual positions of the ancestors of the past dynasties in the Taimiao again, everyone slowly left and rushed towards the eastern suburbs.
Surrounded by the two armies of Yulin and Longwu, the Chengtianmen poured into the fourth Hengjie of Chang'an, because the trip out of the east gate needs to pass through half of Chang'an City, not far away, so Li Qing and other clan men are walking with horses, each hand is a horse, it looks heroic and extraordinary, fortunately, the Tang Dynasty is different from any previous dynasty.
Because Gaozu and Emperor Taizong immediately seized the world, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty had strict requirements for equestrianism, although now the land of Gyeonggi has not been warred for more than 100 years, but all the children of the clan have also dabbled in the six arts, the Tang people are still martial, the literati dance guns and sticks, and the martial artists write poems and lyrics, all of which are common things, even if it is a small house, under the influence of countless literati and ink writers, one or two limericks can also be made.
As the ruler of the Tang Empire, the emperors of the past dynasties can be said to be unremittingly slack off in the cultivation of the children of the clan, not only to learn the way of Confucius and Mencius from an early age, to read sentences and hyphenation, but also to be proficient in some of the most common weapons in the army such as equestrianism and bows and arrows, the six arts of the Tang Dynasty, namely etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, the higher the status in the clan, the higher the corresponding requirements.
Similar to Li Qing and others, since childhood was named a first-class prince, ranked among the ten kings, the training requirements for equestrian training are relatively general clan children are correspondingly higher, although the previous Shouwang scholar is full of temperament, but everyone knows that since Shouwang is the meaning of the ten kings, his personal force is also extraordinary, under normal circumstances, in the face of one or two big men in the army, it is not a problem at all.
Don't talk about King Shou, looking at the ten kings, even if it is the fourth prince Di Wang, who has always been kind to people and never causes trouble, although his appearance looks inconspicuous, but if you carefully observe his every move, Li Qing can also find that the four princes are not as easy to deal with as they seem on the outside, in a word, any prince among the ten kings, none of them is as simple as they appear to be, except for the previous Shouwang.
On both sides of the fourth side of the street, there was already a defender of the south of Chang'an City in full armor standing with guns, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and every two soldiers shot and crossed, forming a temporary blockade line, prohibiting the onlookers on both sides of the street from the Chang'an people Hu merchants and travelers to take to the street, delaying the sacrificial ceremony.
Li Qing, who was riding on a horse and following the large army, also found that among the half-hidden windows above the towering pavilions on both sides of the street, a series of cold Tang crossbows had already been on vacation, and the crossbow arrows were wound, and once someone who could appear appeared, these crossbowmen hidden in the darkness would definitely shoot the offender on the spot as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Li Qing sighed with emotion in his heart, it seems that the people of the military department and the general's mansion really moved their minds for this sacrifice, under such layers of protection, don't say that there is no one, even if someone really dares to hijack the car on the spot, it will definitely be taken down as soon as possible, and there is no room for struggle.
The fourth horizontal street as the central street of Chang'an City's east-west direction, starting from the West Gate Jinguang Gate, ending at the East Gate Chunming Gate, running through the entire Chang'an City, the street is very spacious, on the street that has been cleared in advance, Chen Xuanli, who is dressed in golden light armor, closely followed by four generals of different ages who are also wearing armor in front of the road, after five people, a full sixteen Longwu Army soldiers are riding hand in hand, walking side by side, the movements are the same, there is a sense of neatness.
After the full sixteen rows of sixteen columns of Longwu army cavalry, a luxurious carriage like a small palace was pulled by four sweaty horses and followed by rows of palace maids and eunuchs on foot, slowly rushing towards the east gate.
After the frame of the emperor and the concubine, it was naturally Li Qing and other cadres of the clan, and after Li Qing, there were hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, as for those who were invited to participate in the hunting in the eastern suburbs, the children of the top gate lords in Beijing and the families of the important ministers in the court, as well as the princesses and county lords of the royal palaces, were guarded by the soldiers of the Yulin Army at the back of the team.
