Chapter 245: The First Emperor of the Ages
The blood-red sunset slowly sank in the scattered clouds. A gust of evening breeze gradually took away a little bit of the heat in the tall palace walls, yes, just a little bit.
Lizheng Palace.
"Erlang, try this osmanthus cake to your liking, I heard that you don't have much appetite these days, I personally went to the imperial dining room today to make Erlang's favorite osmanthus cake for Erlang in the past."
"Guanyin, your body is not well yet, you can't be so tired in the future."
Looking at the osmanthus cake handed over by his Guanyin, Li Shimin can be said to have a lot of sighs in his heart, saying that the eldest grandson queen can now walk on the ground, thanks to the Li You who has never seen the Tang Dynasty that Yuan Tiangang's old Taoist said could protect me for thousands of years.
"Your Majesty~ General Qin's army has reached fifteen miles outside Chang'an City~"
Li Shimin had just put the osmanthus cake that Empress Changsun had personally made for himself to his mouth, but his eunuch Wang De walked over quickly and whispered beside him.
"Oh? So fast? Didn't you say it wouldn't arrive tomorrow? Today, at the end of the hour, I will send a message to let the army camp in situ first, and tomorrow morning, I will personally greet my triumphant army! ”
Such a battle can be regarded as a fight for Li Shimin's Longyan Dayue, coupled with the improvement of Guanyin's condition, which made him unprecedentedly refreshed. Li Shimin, who originally had no appetite, directly stuffed the osmanthus cake into his mouth and swallowed it after chewing a few times.
"Hiccup~uh~"
"Hurry up Erlang and drink saliva, drink saliva. How old is Erlang, why do you still look like a child. ”
At this time, Li Shimin, who was choked and his face was flushed, didn't look like an emperor.
~~
"Haha Youlin, now it's my territory, let's rest here for one night tonight, and when we enter the city tomorrow, I'll take you to my house to eat and drink!"
When the marching army received Li Shimin's command, they began to set up camp on the spot.
"Hehe, I said Huaiyu, I think it's better to let Brother Youlin go to my house to eat wine first, a few days ago, my father personally called someone to spread the word that when we have entered the city, he will personally prepare a banquet for Youlin to catch the wind" Cheng Chumo, who had just jumped off the horse, spoke first.
"Oh? I said Chu Mo, why did Uncle Cheng invite Youlin to drink? Qin Huaiyu was stunned, but he didn't expect Cheng Yanjin to send someone to pass the word to his two sons a few days ago.
"Hey, you still need to ask, they must have told his father that Brother Youlin has that good wine~"
If you want to say that you have been a brother for many years, you handed over the war horse in your hand to your own soldiers, and Yu Chi Baolin came over and ruthlessly exposed the true purpose of Cheng Biting Jin.
Now everyone can't help but be Wan'er, such an explanation is really reasonable, with Cheng Biting Jin's alcoholic character, most of them are as Yu Chi Baolin said.
Listening to this group of newly made brothers tearing each other apart, Li You was also helpless, but he didn't expect this to really respond to the resounding modern sentence "Kill halfway out and bite the gold".
"This can't be blamed on me, who told Youlin to take out the wine is really tempting, the last time I wrote a letter to my father, it blew out, and it turned out to be remembered by his old man. That, Brother Youlin, can you get me another cigarette? ”。。
~~
On the second day, Chengtianmen.
I heard that my army had fought another big battle, and all the people of Chang'an City gathered here, standing on the side street of Chengtianmen on both sides. Not only the people, but also on the Chengtianmen Temple at this time, Li Shimin has also brought hundreds of civil and military officials here.
According to historical records, Chengtianmen is the main gate of Chang'an Taiji Palace in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, built in the second year of Emperor Wen of Sui; It was an important place for the emperor and his ministers to discuss politics and hold state activities in the Sui and Tang dynasties. At that time, there was a high-rise building view on the Chengtian Gate, there were east and west court halls on the left and right outside the door, and the horizontal street of more than 400 meters wide passed through in front of the Chengtian Gate, constituting a very grand palace square. Whenever Chengtianmen holds the "Outer Dynasty" ceremony, the square and Chengtianmen Street are all from all directions, and the people congratulate together, and the scale is very spectacular. During the New Year's holidays, the emperor often chose to set up a banquet at Chengtianmen and invite his ministers to have fun.
In the Tang Dynasty, grand ceremonies were held in this street for all national ceremonies, military expeditions and triumphs, greeting VIPs, announcing amnesty, celebrating festivals, etc. Therefore, the triumph of the Tang Dynasty army must pass through Chengtianmen Hengjie.
"The hour has come!"
With a shout from the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the entire Qin Huaiyu's team was marching towards the gate of the camp in an orderly manner. And among the 20,000 troops, the one at the forefront is Li You's Ling Xiao, which is also what Qin Huaiyu meant, saying that it is to show the people of the Tang Dynasty, and to show the envoys of all parties in Chang'an City and the five surnamed Qiwang how powerful my Tang soldiers are.
It's really not blown,
With the guidance of the ceremonial official, Li Shimin took the lead, and behind him were the princes and nobles and hundreds of civil and military officials, who stepped up the stairs one after another.
Outside the Chengtian Gate, hundreds of people were gathered below, and they lined up on both sides of the side street under the obstruction of the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the armies.
When they felt the vibration under their feet, the people couldn't help but look to the right.
In the smoke and dust, Li Shimin stood on the Chengtianmen Tower, his eyes squinted, his fists clenched, and his body trembled slightly.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
When they saw the dense banners, the people shouted excitedly.
Behind the neat queue of flags was Li You's Lingxiao Special Forces. Although he changed into the armor of the Tang Dynasty at this time and picked up the Tang knife in his hand, Ling Xiao's unique temperament of a modern soldier is really terrifying.
When the whole team walked more than a hundred meters away from Chengtian Gate, Ling Yi's shout came from the queue.
"Walk in unison... Walk! ”
"Boom!"
The sound of neat footsteps knocked on the ground and on the hearts of the people who were watching.
Downstairs in the city, the envoys of the vassal states who were invited to watch the ceremony felt a little weak.
The Goguryeo envoy felt the evil aura of the leaching array, and couldn't help muttering: "The majesty of the kingdom, it is indeed the majesty of the kingdom!" Unstoppable, unstoppable! ”
And after the envoys of those small countries saw this, they were almost looking at Li Shimin upstairs with the eyes of a god, which made Li Shimin feel extremely happy.
"Who's up ahead?"
Li Shimin asked Xu Maogong beside him.
"Your Majesty, that's Li Youlin, and behind him are the more than 600 sergeants who accompanied him to resist Xue Yantuo's 200,000 army for three days."
Xu Maogong's words just fell, but the voice of Li Tai, the king of Wei, sounded beside him.
"Father, this is an elite! You have to be in your own hands, otherwise if this Li Youlin can't figure it out one day, maybe the next morning, there will be such neat footsteps in the imperial city. ”
