The custom of sweeping tombs during the Qingming Dynasty has a long history, around the time of the Zhou Dynasty, but it really prevailed in the Tang Dynasty. 【千△千△小△說△網Ww W.xQqX 】

It's late spring and early summer, and it's the season when the vegetation is luxuriant, so you can choose this time to sweep the grave and pay respects, and you can also remove weeds from the grave along the way.

When Gao Ming received a notice from Li Shimin that he was going to Zhaoling to sweep the tomb, Gao Ming reacted and it seemed that it was already the Qingming Festival.

"Since it's the old man's request, let's go, it's good to travel."

Compared with Gao Ming's casualness, Su Wan'er has to be much more attentive, one will prepare pastries, the other will prepare sacrificial things, the whole person is busy, looking at her busy figure, Gao Ming also has a little sense of reality in his heart.

"It seems to be a bit of a festive atmosphere now."

The Qingming Festival in the Tang Dynasty generally does not make fire, everyone eats cold food for the past two days, so it is also called the Cold Food Festival, although Gao Ming doesn't know this, but Su Wan'er knows it very well, so she is naturally busy.

While Su Wan'er was busy, Gao Ming continued to wander around with the little tiger carefree.

Probably because of the better food, the little tiger Benben is now bigger than before, and his weight has doubled, and it is not so easy for Gao Ming to stuff it into his arms, so he found a rope to tie it, and then led it around the palace.

The little guy is getting smarter and smarter now, and he is also very sticky to Gao Ming, basically inseparable, wherever he goes, Gao Ming is also very fond of this fluffy little guy, so this time he went to Zhaoling to sweep the tomb, and Gao Ming also took it with him.

Zhaoling is located in Liquan County, northwest of Chang'an, about sixty-six kilometers away from Chang'an City, if it is a horse, it will arrive in an hour, but Li Shimin, as an emperor, can not go so casually, he has to prepare carriages and horses, honor guards, put the pomp out and then go.

It may be that this time Li Shimin plans to play big, so this pomp and circumstance is also very magnificent, some carry flags, some carry umbrellas, some hold musical instruments, some support the field, all the officers and soldiers add up to no less than five or six thousand, plus horses, chariots, oxen, etc., that long line of troops can not see the edge at a glance!

Gao Ming was wearing an apricot yellow four-clawed dragon pattern robe at this time, and he was also sitting on a chariot, his body swaying left and right with the chariot's movements, and his mouth was still humming.

"Swing Swing...... Swing Swing ...... It is hard to hide the enthusiasm surging with feelings...... Swing Swing Swing ...... Swing Swing ...... East, West, North, South, and Central are in the same vein......"

Hearing Gao Ming's singing, Su Wan'er, who was sitting next to him, almost laughed, but when she saw the people watching on both sides of the road, she suddenly blushed and hurriedly reminded Gao Ming. [Thousand ↑ Thousand △ Small ↓ Say △ Net W xQq ]

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are still a lot of people watching next to you!"

Su Wan'er's original intention was to let Gao Ming restrain herself, but when she heard Gao Ming's words, it changed to another meaning.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, a lot of people are watching, why don't you express it quickly?"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly nodded towards Su Wan'er.

"I see."

After speaking, Gao Ming adjusted his expression, revealing a smiling expression, waving his hand left and right towards the people below.

Seeing this scene, Su Wan'er's eyes suddenly widened.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what are you doing?"

Hearing Su Wan'er's question, Gao Ming didn't look back, still maintaining that smiling and waving attitude.

"Leaders go out on patrol like this, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, come, follow my example, smile and wave to the people, smile to be natural, serious, solemn, majestic, and at the same time not lose kindness and affinity."

“……”

Looking at Gao Ming's smiling expression, Su Wan'er was suddenly dumbfounded.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's smile contains so much meaning!"

In the end, Su Wan'er hadn't learned Gao Ming's deep smile, so she could only sit quietly next to Gao Ming, watching him dumbfounded and continuing to wave down with a smile.

After about a few miles out of Chang'an City, the number of people gradually decreased, and at this time, Gao Mingcai rubbed his face that was a little stiff with a smile, and then sighed with emotion.

"Alas...... It seems that it is not easy to be a leader, my face is cramping with laughter! ”

“……”

At this time, Su Wan'er decisively remained silent, because she was worried that if she said anything more, Gao Mingdu would make even more strange moves.

However, it turned out that her worries were completely unnecessary, because even if she didn't say anything, Gao Ming couldn't stay honest.

"Baby, it's stuffy, aren't you? Oh, it's so pathetic......"

Hearing Gao Ming's voice, Su Wan'er suddenly turned her head to look, only to see him flick the hem, and then took out a small fluffy thing from under his robe.

"Benben?"

At this time, it was the little tiger who was holding Gao Ming in his arms, and when he heard Su Wan'er call its name, it immediately howled.

"Mi ......"

Seeing this scene, Su Wan'er suddenly rubbed her forehead helplessly, now she understands that Gao Ming came to sweep the tomb this time to play.

"I hope my father won't blame me then!"

Thinking of this, Su Wan'er suddenly became a little worried.

Unlike Su Wan'er, Gao Ming's mood was still relatively pleasant, he sat on the chariot with the little tiger in his arms, his eyes looking at the surrounding scenery, and humming a song in his mouth.

"The little monk went down the mountain to fast, and the old monk had an explanation...... The woman under the mountain is a tiger, and if you meet it, you must avoid it......"

Su Wan'er was still a little worried, but listening to Gao Ming's childlike song, she couldn't help but smile slightly, and hummed softly to Gao Ming's rhythm.

The speed of the guard of honor was not fast, and it was only less than half of the way at noon, Li Shimin ordered to rest for about a stick of incense, and then everyone continued on the road, and when it was dark, they arrived at Liquan County.

At this time, it was already late, so Gao Ming and others rested in the county government for one night, and went to Zhaoling early the next morning.

After arriving at Zhaoling, the royal guard of honor stopped outside, and Gao Ming followed Li Shimin in.

With the arrival of Li Shimin, it also represents the beginning of the sacrifice to sweep the Zhaoling, and after the cakes and fruits used in the sacrifice are all placed, Li Shimin stepped forward to burn the first incense, and then he muttered there.

Gao Ming was standing outside, so he couldn't hear what Li Shimin was talking about, so he could only stand there and wait. After a while, when he saw Li Shimin waving towards them, Gao Mingcai took Li Tai, Li Zhi, Li Lizhen and Li Mingda to burn incense and kowtow.

Gao Ming is the eldest son, so according to the rules, he is the first to worship, but he doesn't know what to do, so he pushes Li Tai out.

"Fatty, you go first!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Tai immediately glanced at Li Shimin, and saw that Li Shimin nodded at him, so he had no choice but to step forward to burn incense and kowtow, and then said a word to the tombstone of Empress Changsun in a choked tone.

"Queen Mother...... Bluefinch has come to see you! ”

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"It's not difficult, it's still to burn incense and kowtow, and then fake crying a few words, it's simple!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ming's face had a little sadness, and after Li Tai got up, Gao Ming also burned incense and kowtowed as he did just now, and then spoke in a choked tone.

"Queen Mother...... Gao Ming has come to see you...... Woohoo......"

Gao Ming originally only planned to fake crying, but looking at the tombstone in front of him, he suddenly sounded his mother in another world, and his eyes gradually moistened.

"Are you okay over there? Don't forget to add clothes when it's cold......"

As he spoke, Gao Ming suddenly felt sad in his heart, and then couldn't help but cry.

"My son is not filial, I can't honor you, woo woo woo woo ......"

Sincere emotions are the most moving, looking at Gao Ming's tears and snot flowing out together, the surrounding officials of the Ministry of Rites all nodded.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really filial!"

Even Li Shimin's couldn't help but redden.

"It turns out that Gao Ming, this kid thinks like this in his heart......"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin turned his head to look at Li Tai with a stunned face, and was suddenly unhappy.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of "not being afraid of not knowing the goods, just afraid of comparing goods", if there is no Gao Ming's crying performance, Li Tai's performance is not good to say, but watching Gao Ming's tears flow out like no money, Li Shimin's heart is unbalanced.

"This Qingque, vain and Guanyin love him so much, but now he only howls twice, and he doesn't even have tears, it's too much."

Li Shimin's expression Li Tai also saw it, but at this time he was also aggrieved in his heart, after all, the eldest grandson queen had been dead for almost seven years, even if there was more sadness in his heart, it was almost diluted by time now, and it was too difficult to cry bitterly at this time.

Thinking of this, Li Tai looked at Gao Ming, who was still crying there, and felt a little reverence in his heart.

"I didn't expect that my eldest brother is also a temperamental, I'm not as good as him in this regard!"

Li Zhi's expression was even more embarrassed, because he was only seven or eight years old when Empress Changsun died, and Datang didn't have a camera or anything, at this time he even forgot what his mother looked like, how sad could he be?

In contrast, Li Lizhen and Li Mingda, as girls, were originally emotionally sensitive and rich, and they were also easily influenced by others.

After burning incense, kowtowing, and then crying again, this time the worship and tomb sweeping was also a success, except for those officials of the Ministry of Industry who were responsible for repairing the Zhaoling Tomb, the others began to return to Chang'an.

After a day's hard work, Gao Ming was also tired, so he washed and slept after returning to the East Palace, and Li Shimin rarely drank several pots of wine after going back, and that night, Li Shimin's hoarse singing sounded in the Forbidden Garden.

"It's not easy for a big man to do, he is still persistent in the risk, and his children are hidden in his heart, let it be bumpy all the way......"
