Before dawn, the mourning music in the palace has been played, a team of forbidden troops lined up from the palace gate, and the wide Suzaku Street has also implemented a ban, but this ban is a bit special, because Suzaku Street only bans a part of the middle, and the people are still allowed to watch on both sides, of course, at this time when Li Yuan's coffin passes, the people on both sides must all kneel down to send each other, otherwise it is a great crime of disrespect.

When the hour came, under the joint auspices of the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, Li Yuan's coffin was finally lifted onto a hearse drawn by six horses, and then a palace-like tent made of cloth curtains was erected on it, because the sun was absolutely not allowed to shine until the coffin was buried.

The coffin first went out of the spirit hall, and the filial sons and grandsons led by Li Shimin followed, and then the daughters of Princess Pingyang, as for Li Xiu's sons-in-law, they were not among them, because according to the rules, their sons-in-law had to put down sacrifices in front of the coffin, and they had to put down sacrifices every time they walked.

Princess Pingyang ranks third among the sisters, and she is also Li Yuan's only concubine, so Li Xiu naturally can't escape the fate of worshipping on the road, in addition to Princess Xiangyang's husband Dou Dan, and Princess Taichangguang's husband Yang Shidao, both of them are not only horses, but also important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, so they lead with Li Xiu, as for the other horses, as long as they are in Chang'an, they also have to kneel behind their buttocks.

The Son of Heaven drove six, even if Li Yuan had passed away, the hearse that pulled the coffin was still in accordance with the specifications of the Son of Heaven, Li Xiu and the others walked in front of the hearse, and after leaving the palace gate, the first worship was also held here, Li Xiu and they had also learned the relevant etiquette with the people of the Ministry of Rites in advance, and now they also did a good job, but after they knelt down and offered sacrifices, Pei Lin had to read the sacrificial text at this time, and this sacrificial text did not know who wrote it, it was simply stinky and long, and they couldn't stand up without reading Li Xiu, Finally, when their legs are numb on their knees, the first prayer is completed.

"Eight more times!" Li Xiu stood up and pinched his numb thighs, and couldn't help but think helplessly in his heart, if it was the real Li Yuan in the coffin, it would be fine, but it was obviously a fake Li Yuan inside, but he still had to suffer this crime, it was too worthless.

But no matter how much you complain, it was useless, Dou Dan and Yang Shidao, who were a few years older than him, didn't have any complaints, so this scene had to be performed, but Li Xiu found for the first time that Suzaku Street was not only wide, but also very long, and it was already tiring enough just to walk once, not to mention that you had to kneel for a long time to walk for a while.

It wasn't until the ninth worship was finally held at the Mingde Gate that Li Xiu felt a kind of relief-like freedom, and after the funeral procession left the city gate, he boarded the carriage that had been prepared outside the city gate, and then this procession of more than 10,000 people turned mightily to the imperial tomb in Sanyuan County.

Although Sanyuan County is next to Chang'an, but the distance is not close, Li Xiu used to rush to Sanyuan from home, all riding fast horses, so it takes nearly half a day to arrive, if you just rely on your legs, I am afraid you have to walk for two or three days, and there are many women and children in the funeral procession, especially Princess Pingyang is still pregnant, and it is impossible to travel a long distance to Sanyuan, so the carriage is also necessary.

But after everyone got into the carriage, it was already afternoon, after all, there was too much delay on Suzaku Street before, and the coffin burial was generally in the morning, so let alone the burial today, even Mihara County may not be able to arrive, of course, this is also in the plan, and the real burial time is originally tomorrow.

Although Li Xiu was young, he was tossed by this pass, and he was almost tired and paralyzed at this time, in fact, it was not only him, but several horses with him were not lightly tired, and at this time, they were also sitting in the carriage one by one to drink water and pant for breath.

However, Li Xiu, these relatives and princesses of Pingyang, can get into the carriage, but Li Shimin and Li Chengqian, the filial sons and grandsons, must go ten miles out of the city to get on the carriage, especially Li Chengqian is now the eldest grandson, and he must also hold Li Yuan's tablet in his hand, crying while walking behind the hearse, Li Shimin also walked next to him, and behind him were a group of princes.

In addition, there are a lot of royal relatives, these are the Li family, Li Yuanchang is also among them, in addition to him, his group of brothers also came from other places, when they went out of the palace just now, these princes were crying one by one, as if they wanted to go with Li Yuan, but at this time, their voices were also crying hoarsely, and there were not so many spectators around, and they followed one by one weakly.

Filial piety is one of the most important human ethics in the ancient Central Plains, Li Shimin, as the emperor, naturally attaches more importance to filial piety, of course, as an emperor, it is impossible for him to cry like others, but he is now also red-eyed, and his eyes are full of tears, at this time he is no longer an emperor, but a son who has lost his father.

The journey of ten miles is not long, it is not short, and when the funeral procession crosses the Baqiao, there is already a carriage waiting for Li Shimin and others in front, after all, it is impossible to really let Li Shimin and them go to Sanyuan, not to mention anything else, the time is not allowed, after all, the time of burial has been selected, and it must not be changed, and they must also rush to the imperial tomb tomorrow.

Seeing the carriage in front of them, many of the filial sons were bright-eyed, after all, they were all tired at this time, and their legs were as heavy as a thousand pounds at this time, and they couldn't walk at all, and their eyes were full of hope when they looked at the carriage.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a horse galloping in the distance, which also attracted the attention of many people at once. Of course, he didn't get close, he was stopped by the forbidden army outside, and then the cavalry on the horse flew off his horse and untied a barrel from behind, and then said something to the guard, but the guard actually let him go, and then saw the other party galloping to Ma Ye to present the barrel, obviously this person is the person of the Fei Nu Division, and the Fei Nu Division has always passed the news of the inquiry as the director, and it seems that this time it must be very important news.

I saw Ma Ye open the barrel and take out a letter from it, but his face changed greatly after reading it, and then he strode to Li Shimin's side and whispered a few words, but Li Shimin stretched out his hand, took the letter in his hand and read it, his face became more and more ugly, but he didn't say anything.

No matter what it was, as long as it wasn't for the enemy to kill under Chang'an City, it would be impossible to interrupt Li Yuan's funeral, so the next funeral procession still went to Sanyuan according to the previous plan, but Li Xiu found that Li Shimin's face had been very ugly, and he seemed to have suppressed the anger in his heart, which made him very curious, wanting to know what news was sent before?
