After a while, the frame of Emperor Liu Zhen and the Empress arrived. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Liu Chang took the lead, and when he arrived at the front, he saw that Zhou Biao and Ma Dayuan had been waiting for a long time.
He immediately shouted to the other princes around him: "Stand in line, stand to the side, don't get in the way of my father and queen." ”
"When."
Liu Chang pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted: "Protect the father and mother, whoever dares to make a mess, this prince will be the first to behead him." ”
Although Liu Chang is a prince, he is still very stable and knows what to do, and his only goal now is to protect his position as the prince.
Protect yourself so that you have a chance to climb up.
So, try to show your loyalty in front of the current emperor.
Zhou Biao also said to the generals around him: "Defend strictly, and you can't relax in the slightest." ”
The frame slowly stopped on the huge square at the entrance of the east gate of the Imperial Tomb.
Liu Zhen and Qi Younu got off the carriage under the service of the maids.
"See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"See the queen mother, the mother is a thousand years old."
Zhou Biao, Ma Dayuan and others immediately saluted the emperor and queen.
In normal times, they must dismount and bow down, but today is special, in order to ensure the safety of the emperor and the queen, they dare not dismount in case of accidents.
He immediately saluted.
"No courtesy."
After Liu Zhen finished speaking, the left and right prime ministers who followed behind him hurriedly followed, and the ministers behind stepped forward one after another, preparing to enter the imperial mausoleum.
The Imperial Mausoleum covers a huge area, and the construction inside is very luxurious.
The bones of twenty-three emperors, from Liu Xian, the founding emperor of the Feng Dynasty Empire, to Liu Yang, the previous emperor, are buried here.
In addition, there are some royal relatives, including the prince of the Liu family, there are already hundreds of Liu royal families.
It is said that Liu Xian, the founding emperor of the Feng Dynasty Empire, was a fisherman who drove a small boat to fish on the lake every day.
Unexpectedly, one day when fishing, a corpse floated in the lake, Liu Xian dragged the corpse ashore, and found a large seal from the corpse.
The big seal is carved with white Xi Yu, on which the golden dragon soars, and the colorful phoenix flutters.
It is engraved with several big characters: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." ”
Liu Xian was shocked, saw that the Great Seal was different, and hurriedly hid the Great Seal.
Afterwards, he searched everywhere for the secret of the Great Seal, and found out that this Great Seal was a jade seal of the country.
So Liu Xian secretly hid the seal at home, perhaps it was the great seal that brought good luck, Liu Xian's family gradually prospered, and five years later, he had become a wealthy man.
After the war, heroes arose everywhere, Liu Xian was a wealthy man, and his family also raised a group of samurai.
Seeing the opportunity coming, he immediately recruited troops and horses, rose in the chaos, and became a prince of one side, called the sculls marquis.
Just because Liu Xian was born as a fisherman, he is used to using the sculls of rowing, and when he leads troops to fight in chaos, he also carries the oars with him.
Moreover, Liu Xian himself was brave and invincible, taking the lead, killing countless princes and heroes with two oars, and finally defeated countless princes at the age of forty.
Therefore, Liu Xian is also known as the Emperor of the Sculls.
After that, the country was unified, and Liu Xian established an empire, named the Feng Dynasty, and built the capital to dominate the industry.
Now, more than two hundred years have passed, and the national strength of the Feng Dynasty Empire has become stronger and stronger.
For the sculls of the emperor who got up as a fisherman, later generations all praised and worshipped, although other emperors also made great contributions in the future, compared with the sculls emperor, it is obviously a lot inferior.
Therefore, every time he sacrifices, he takes the lead in worshiping Liu Xian.
Liu Zhen led the ministers into the imperial tomb through the east gate.
In the imperial mausoleum, many palaces were built, all of which were placed in the spiritual seats of the emperors of various dynasties and the royal magnates of the Liu family.
The most central sculls hall is built for the sculls emperor Liu Xian alone, and it is also the largest hall among them, which is majestic.
Liu Chang and the other princes followed Liu Zhen, and the ministers and generals were guarding on both sides. 、
As for Zhou Biao, he rode on a horse and arranged for the guards to patrol the surroundings.
Liu Zhen knelt and bowed in the sculls hall, surrounded by Taoist priests who were specially guarding the imperial tomb to clean and take care of the imperial tomb, and they were specially chanting and praying in the imperial tomb on weekdays to pray for the blessing of the Feng Dynasty Empire.
Now the emperor is worshipping his ancestors, and he is busy handing over all kinds of sacrificial supplies, incense, yellow paper, and the like.
Liu Chang had the opportunity to kneel in the main hall and look at Liu Xian, the founding emperor of the Sculls Emperor up close, his ancestors, his eyes were full of admiration.
The past history of the Emperor of the Sculls is something that every member of the Liu royal family must be familiar with, otherwise they won't even know their ancestors and will make jokes.
A mere fisherman can also create thousands of miles of the Feng Dynasty Empire, which is so heroic and spectacular.
Liu Chang's heart planted the seeds of desire early, and he wanted to embark on a higher, bigger and farther road.
The emperor of the Feng Dynasty Empire, that is what he must get, and he also wants to annex the empires around the Feng Dynasty Empire.
To the south of the Feng Dynasty Empire is the Nanming Empire, the Nanming Empire has a strong navy, and the Nanming Empire is flooded, and every year many pirates rob the ocean-going ships of the Feng Dynasty Empire, which makes many merchants in the South China Sea miserable.
Liu Chang summed up the Southern Ming Empire in one sentence: "They are a group of complete pirates." ”
To the east is the Oriental Empire, which is also famous for its naval army, and they also have a powerful Oriental samurai warband, which is a great rival of the Feng Dynasty Empire.
In the same Eastern Empire, there were often naval warriors who attacked the eastern ports of the Feng Dynasty Empire, which was really annoying.
Liu Chang gritted his teeth: "I hate samurai, I hate the Oriental Empire, and I will definitely include the Oriental Empire in the territory of the Feng Dynasty in my life." ”
As for the north, there is the Cambrian Empire, where the people are fierce, cruel and bloody, especially their steppe cavalry, which has a reputation for superb horsemanship.
Fortunately, there was not much conflict with the Feng Dynasty Empire in these years.
is still a sentence: "If Cambrian is not removed, it will be difficult for the north to be safe." ”
As for the west, it was the Western European Empire, which was relatively developed in commerce, and often sent all kinds of strange goods to the Feng Dynasty Empire, and by the way, exchanged for the gold and silver of the Feng Dynasty Empire.
Of course, the Feng Dynasty Empire had the best relations with the Western European Empire, only commercial trade, and there was not much conflict in other aspects.
It seems that there is no harm in the Western European Empire, Liu Chang just wants to say: "The Western European Empire is a group of wolf ambitious guys, who have been planning for a long time, and waiting for the opportunity will inevitably cause trouble." ”
Liu Chang knows this well.
Don't look at Liu Changjun very much, but he has a good brain and his memory is beyond ordinary people.
His favorite thing is to watch the heroic deeds of the Sculls Emperor, and he is often intoxicated by himself.
Especially many of the talents of Wenyuan Pavilion have rewritten the past of the Sculls Emperor back and forth, and they have written it amazingly, which makes people's blood boil.
It is because he has seen too much of the past of the Emperor of the Sculls that Liu Chang has been learning books, etiquette, martial arts, and the art of war since he was a child.
While the other princes were still catching crickets, he could already command the guards to rehearse their formations and study how to arrange defenses to break through the enemy's defenses.
Over the years, Liu Chang has learned too many things, and the only thing that makes him worry is that he has too many younger brothers, don't look at their young age, but they have begun to have a desire for power.
Especially every prince, not just a single prince, there must be a concubine behind them, and there are some hidden families and forces.
caused Liu Chang to meditate hard every day, how to drive away or kill those more dangerous younger brothers as soon as possible, or if he didn't do this, he would die in the end.
