Chapter 585 Li Liulang sacrificed Zhaoling, and Chang'an City had another accident

The mausoleum is located in the west of Xianyang City, and Xianyang is only forty or fifty miles away from Chang'an City. However, as soon as this person has a lot of pomp and circumstance, it is naturally impossible to pay attention to any efficiency on the road, but to talk about the scene. Not to mention anything else, it is the first time to re-use loess to make the road mat porcelain, which is a large-scale project.

Not only that, but when you get to the ground, you can't immediately worship the mausoleum, just bathing and fasting have dozens of requirements, not to mention being close to women. So, Helan Yan and Xu Yan happily followed, and after a few days, they felt depressed, and in the end, they could only comfort themselves with a glance from a distance that they could not get close to. As for Li Xian himself, not to mention, he now deeply admires his mother's repeated silkworm gifts, and people say that red tape kills people, which is true.

The sacrifice of the tomb should be in the dedication hall in the Suzaku Gate of Zhaoling, and the sacrifice of prisoners is outside the sacrifice hall. Seeing those poor Goguryeo royal family and Quan family brothers, even Li Xian, who personally escorted them back, felt that this procedure for sacrificing prisoners was really troublesome—although the fate of these people in the future had already been decided, in order to show respect for Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, everything would not be announced until after the mausoleum.

Although the benevolent Tang Dynasty won the battle, he would not kill people casually, especially these foreign monarchs. The procedure of asking the guilt in front of the emperor has gone through, and now it is a prisoner in front of the spirit of the first emperor. For this day, Emperor Li waited for twenty years, while Emperor Taizong under Jiuquan waited about even longer.

Lee Hyun spent three days bathing and three days fasting. It took another three days to go through the initial cutscene, plus the preparation time on the road and at the Xianyang stop, which was at least ten days over. Now wearing a heavy dress for the mausoleum ceremony, a strange thought turned in his heart.

If Li Shimin knew and knew that Li Zhi not only abolished the queen and queen, but also established the queen of martial arts, would he be angry and blew up his lungs? Of course, this emperor, who is known as unsurpassed in Wenzhi and martial arts, will probably be even more surprised by his son's iron blood - an uncle and hero like the eldest grandson Wuji will kill when he says he will kill, and Goguryeo will fight and fight when he says he will fight. Tubo is also honest for the time being, and the four towns of Anxi are still firmly held in the palm of his hand, which is nothing compared to Lao Tzu's great achievements, but the title of Emperor has been added. Even Tarzan has already been enshrined......

Lin Lin finally came down, and he Li Xiandi, the emperor Laozi, really did a lot of things that Taizong Li Shimin did not do.

"Grandfather...... I've never seen you before, but I've been calloused by your name for a long time! The Tang Dynasty is still firmly stable. It's just that Dad's health is not very good, and the fifth brother's body is also anxious, if you have a spirit under the spring, you will bless them both with many blessings and longevity...... Well. I also bless my old mother to be gentle, don't get out of power! Ah, I almost forgot one of the most important things. You can bless me with a long life. I don't have much to ask for. I just want my wife to live a peaceful life, have more children and grandchildren, and enjoy more wealth and prosperity......"

He recited the lengthy sacrificial words on his lips. Li Xian muttered a bunch of his wishes in his heart, if he let the Shangguan Yi and the officials of the Ministry of Rites behind him hear his inner monologue, I was afraid that those old men would roll their eyes and die of anger one by one. And after the big ceremony of kneeling and nine knocking, Li Xian only felt that his knees were numb, and he was more tired than fighting a big battle.

He wanted to make two "easy to kneel" pads on his knees, but on such a big occasion everything was checked by someone, so he could only give up this tempting idea. And although he couldn't see the back, he must have been there with a group of gray-haired old men bowing his head respectfully or with tears in his eyes.

After the sacrifice and worship are completed, the next step is the sacrifice ceremony. This so-called captive is not tied with any hemp rope, but with Bai Lian to tie up, prostrate under His Majesty. Although the number of people is not large, it is enough to comfort Li Shimin's spirit in the sky - Goguryeo King Gaozang, Prince Gao Dewu, Quan Nan Quan Nanjian brothers, plus a basket of princes and ministers, more than a dozen defeated generals......

The civil and military officials accompanying the cemetery stood in two long columns at the foot of the steps, and the prisoner generals Gao Kan, Pang Tongshan and others, who had come back from Liaodong, as well as Li Jingye, who had come to the place on behalf of Li Ji, stood in the most conspicuous position. Because Cheng Bohu and Xue Dingshan were also considered to be meritorious generals in the Eastern Expedition, they stood behind the three people in front of them, although they did not dare to move due to the etiquette system, but they were all full of excitement.

Xue Dingshan still regretted in his heart, he was the one who should have come to enjoy this great honor, but he couldn't come because Anton's capital was too busy. Such an opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, if you miss this village, you will not have this store in the future.

After the lengthy sacrificial words and ceremonies, a series of measures followed, for example, Gao Zangzheng was not his own, and he was pardoned for Siping Taichang and stayed in Chang'an City to live; Quan Male Property had been reduced before the city was broken, so he was appointed as the chief of the Shaoqing, and the golden purple Guanglu doctor was placed as a regular member; The most unlucky is Quan Nanjian, who resisted stubbornly, but did not commit suicide when he should have committed suicide, but it turned out that it was Quan Nan's letter to intercede, so he barely saved his life

All in all, none of the dozens of prisoners were killed, which also made the envoys of other countries who accompanied the mausoleum sigh at the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty. The tsunami of the mountains made Li Xian wonder in his heart whether these people would follow the example of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and give his emperor Emperor Li Dadi the honorific title of Khan.

In fact, the previous few sacrifices to the Taimiao were far more powerful than this time, and there were tens of thousands of prisoners of war alone, if it weren't for the meritorious work of Li Xian Liaodong this time, he sprinkled a book of ten thousand words, saying that it was enough for King Gaozang to offer prisoners, and there was no need to spend effort to bring those Goguryeo prisoners of war. As soon as he said this, many ministers of the court who were in a sense of economy echoed it, especially a straightforward person like Hao Chujun was strongly supportive, so the scale of the prisoners was reduced.

Li Xian's idea is very simple, if you let so many thousands of people be raised in Datang for a few months, how much food will be wasted! One high treasure is worth 10,000 captives, which is decent enough!

However, the end of the surrender does not mean that the brigade will return immediately. Although this imperial mausoleum has responsible officials and garrisons, and there are fixed people who renovate it every year, as a descendant, you must always do your best. In addition, there are many tombs of courtiers who accompany the burial here, and Li Xian also has to pay homage on behalf of his emperor Lao Tzu, which of course includes Empress Changsun.

As a result, most of the officials who were originally pulled over to fill the scene were driven back to Chang'an City by him, and the 3,000 Yulin army that was originally with him was reduced to 500, and even Xianyang Ling was sent away by him in a few words. As for his three younger siblings, not to mention, they must be driven away for the sake of their ears. He originally wanted to coax Shangguan Yi away, but unexpectedly, the old Shangguan didn't know what he was thinking, so he took out the holy decree to justify, saying that he, the chief prime minister, must accompany Li Xian back to Beijing.

If you want to follow, just follow it!

As a result, the guards guarding Zhaoling only saw an old man and a young man circling around Zhaoling when they got up in the morning. Although it is said that the worship is carried out every year, it is carried out in the dedication hall, and the real mausoleum is not accessible at all after the plank road is removed and blocked. However, the tombs of the burial heroes are not so exquisite, for example, Li Xian visited the tombs of Li Jing, Ashina Sheer, Wei Zheng and others for the first time, of course, Shangguan Yi next to him took the opportunity to attend class and instilled a lot of useful and useless knowledge in him.

And Li Xian did not live in the mausoleum area anymore, nor did he live in Xianyang City, but camped outside the mausoleum area, which was called respect, but in fact, it was just to give his two poor wives a place to live. Although it is not enough to sit on the right hug and enjoy the blessings of Qi people on this occasion, but with a red face to accompany you, the days are always more moisturized. He didn't want to be accused of having countless etiquette in order to rush back to Chang'an City, but fortunately, there was a etiquette for everyone to go to the official ceremony, and he did all the etiquette that should be done.

On the twentieth day of Li Xian's stay in Zhaoling, a flying horse flew in and brought a letter from the capital. Although nominally a letter, it actually comes from two people. The handwriting of the two people is flying white, one is dignified with a pen, the lines are round, and the other is flying with a pen. If he received a letter from either of the two alone, Li Xian would not feel strange, but this time, he was really confused. This confusion was enough, and after reading the letter, he simply froze.

The dignified letter came from the Empress Wu, and the above informed Li Zhi and Li Hong's illness in thick ink and heavy color, and the tirade only explained a center, whether the illness of the emperor and the crown prince was good or not, nothing more. At the end, he mentioned lightly that Shangjin had just passed away a few days ago because of his illness in the fiefdom.

said that Shangjin was sick day and night, and he still barely believed it, but it could be said that he became sick from hard work...... Just kidding, these days, the prince wants to be diligent in the fief and love the people, and the local magistrates don't necessarily buy it, where did the accumulation of hard work become a disease?

This letter from Qu Tu Shenruo is much more detailed, first explaining why the two letters were sent together. Needless to say, there is only one explanation for the entrustment of the Empress Wu, as for why he didn't go through the official channels, Li Xian can only think that his mother has a reason for doing things. Next, this one used a detailed tone to describe all kinds of strange things that happened in Chang'an City, for example, someone pretended to be the son of Mrs. Han, someone assumed the name Taishang Laojun and went down to make waves, and most importantly, Shangjin suddenly died that night after seeing an inexplicable stranger at home.

Although this cousin is even stranger than Su Jie, Li Xian can also experience the strange atmosphere just from the flat and straightforward description, and he doesn't feel a chill on his vest. As soon as Jin died, the most suspicious person was of course the Empress Wu, but unless his mother changed from wise and wise to only playing conspiracy, this matter would definitely not have anything to do with her.

Yes, since the butterfly flapped its wings, this Emperor Li is actually blind, and it is difficult to protect that someone can't help jumping up and down! Li Xianhao took the time to stuff the letter back into the envelope and seriously considered his future return to Beijing. It seems that strange things happen every time he is not there, why is he so unlucky?
