In a trance, Xiao Jiangyuan seemed to see Li Longji on the day he ascended the throne, but it was different.

- This time, he palmed up.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Fengyue, he is just simply and sincerely inviting a partner who has been working with him for many years.

The Son of Heaven is unique, Ling Ran is above all living beings, he is looked up to and respected, and he is destined to be lonely all his life, so Xiao Jiangyuan has never been so delusional to stand side by side with him. She just wanted to follow him all the way as a courtier, eunuch and non-woman, solve problems for him, and achieve her own fame at the same time.

And now, he gave her the response she wanted most.

She looked at Li Longji's invitation steadily, hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly put her hand into his palm.

Xiao Jiangyuan's hand was slightly cold, and Li Longji immediately clenched it as soon as he made contact, passing his warmth to her fingertips.

Zhang said that he had already determined the list of people who would accompany him up the mountain, and Li Longji couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately ordered to set off. The courtiers, honor guards, and troops who remained at the foot of the mountain, as well as the monarchs, young monarchs, and envoys of the Siyi State, heard Li Longji's order, and bowed down one after another, and shouted three times:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Congratulations to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

For a time, the sound shook the eight wildernesses, and since the place where Li Longji was, the people who knelt down and worshipped were like waves, surging in all directions. The waves are colorful and colorful, but they are not chaotic, just like the thousands of mountains and rivers on the territory, which have their own natural regularity. Li Longji looked at them, as if he was inspecting his own country.

The pride suddenly came to life, Li Longji pulled Xiao Jiangyuan closer, turned around and went to the top of Mount Tai!

If you don't climb Mount Tai, you don't know the height of the world. Li Longji, who used to have to relax his body from time to time, was okay, but although he was busy in the palace, Xiao Jiangyuan, who was actually very pampered, couldn't stand it. And the courtiers who accompanied him, among them in high positions, were mostly old and decrepit over fifty or sixty years old, and they were even more struggling. Li Longji often ordered rest by taking advantage of the situation, and also gained a good reputation for being considerate of the old minister.

Zhang said that he was closer to Xiao Jiangyuan - Li Longji didn't even ask Wang Maozhong to be by his side, but he left her alone, which is self-evident. Although the saint of his family may also be accustomed to Xiao Jiangyuan's service, this first eunuch who ascended Mount Tai with the king to seal Zen is also very unusual. He was just about to get to the Son of Heaven and pull Xiao Jiangyuan forward with the Son of Heaven, but he was squeezed aside by a familiar figure, and he had to sneer: "...... King Xue is polite. ”

Li Yele nodded hehehe: "Zhang Xianggong is polite." ”

After speaking, Li Ye picked up Xiao Jiangyuan's idle arm and laughed with Li Longji. As soon as Li Ye stepped forward, Li Xian, the king of Ning, Li Fan, the king of Qi, and Li Shouli, the king of Sui, also followed, and Zhang Shuo had no choice but to retreat to the ranks of the courtiers.

Surrounded by these brothers, Xiao Jiangyuan unconsciously remembered the days in Shangyang Palace in the past, only to feel that the white horse passed by, as if he was in another world.

It was not until the afternoon of the ninth day of the lunar month that everyone was able to reach the top.

Xiao Jiangyuan thought that he had already walked such a long way, no matter how happy and excited he was, he should be calm now. But when she really reached the top of Mount Tai little by little, she realized that this feeling would only become thicker and heavier with the approach, and it could not subside, and it could force all the exhaustion of the wind and dust to retreat.

It had been cloudy for several days, and as night fell, the weather became a little colder. By this time they had set up camp, and many torches and fires were lit to keep warm, but the rapid north wind was very biting, and even the thick clothes mixed with cotton were still penetrated.

Li Chengqi and the others are still young in the end, except for Li Ye, who had just had a serious illness before, under the supervision of his brothers, he awkwardly put on the mink fur cloak given by Li Longji, and the others are still light. It was the first time they had come to Mount Tai, and although it was getting dark, they had to walk around.

As soon as they settled down, they took out all kinds of fur cloaks, wrapped themselves tightly, snuggled up to each other in their tents, and tasted a pot of hot wine each. The guards from the family are too young, not to mention the lack of clothes, and they are also responsible for following Zhang Shuo to prepare the honor guard for sealing Zen, so it is not so comfortable. Zhang said that he was busy before and after, his feet did not touch the ground, he didn't wear much but sweated profusely, and he never got tired of it.

Li Longji looked at the various expressions of this crowd in his eyes, and only felt that it was funny and emotional. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xiao Jiangyuan sitting on his knees not far from the fire, he was unprecedentedly restrained, and it was not generous to reach out for warmth. Suddenly seeing her shiver, Li Longji turned around and entered his tent, and when he came out, he had an extra snow-white fox fur in his hand. He just wanted to put it on Xiao Jiangyuan, thought about it, and then put it on himself, supported his arms, and then sat down next to Xiao Jiangyuan and directly wrapped her into his arms.

Xiao Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment, then struggled to get up, but his shoulder was held down by Li Longji:

"You're not afraid of making a lot of noise and attracting people's attention."

"Could it be that everyone and the ministers are sitting here like this, and it won't attract people's attention?"

Li Longji just didn't hear it, and said, "Why, it's clear that I want to seal Zen, but you seem to be more nervous than me?" ”

Feeling that this fox fur was indeed quite warm, Xiao Jiangyuan was no longer embarrassed for himself, withdrew his hand to roast the fire, and wrapped the big foil around his legs: "The minister just looked at the bad sky and was a little worried. ”

"I'm worried that my ceremony is a fly in the ointment, and there is a place for people to talk to?"

"After all, everyone is the Son of Heaven, if God is not beautiful, isn't it to lose face?"

"Who lost face?" Li Ye, who had finished walking around, suddenly probed over and sat on the other side of Xiao Jiangyuan, he reached out and touched the fox skin, and couldn't help but praise, "This fox skin is so good!" The color is good, too! Third Brother ......"

Li Longji immediately said coldly: "Don't give it." ”

"I'll trade this mink for you!"

"No."

Li Ye: "......"

Li Chengqi and others also sat around, smiling and laughing, and enjoying themselves. Hearing Xiao Jiangyuan's worries, Li Ye said categorically: "No! My third brother is destined to return, and since he ascended the throne, the four seas have been stable, which sacrifice is not good weather? This time, God will not be so faceless. Don't worry, Ah Yuan. ”

Before the words fell, Li Ye felt that the tip of his nose was wet, and as soon as he reached out and touched it, he felt more water droplets falling on his head and face, and he was stunned for a while, and he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that these nobles looked at each other, as if they were stupid by the rain, Xiao Jiangyuan hurriedly got up and beckoned them to enter the camp tent to take shelter from the rain, and at the same time hurriedly went to find Zhang Shuo.

The tent was very quiet, and the atmosphere was a little weird, which made Zhang Shuo quite uneasy. Feng Zen was proposed by him, and most of the preparations were also made by him, and after a whole year, it seemed that it was about to be completed, but at this time, it actually started to rain? The wind is gusting, the wind is bitter and the rain is bitter, what does the heavens mean, how can this be good?

What he was most worried about was that the saint would still leave everything to him to do this time. Everything in the world is easy to say, it is destined not to rain this time, and he is really powerless. He was worried when he overheard Li Longji say: "The Great Ceremony of Sealing Zen...... Naturally, it will be held as scheduled. ”

Knowing what Li Longji meant, Zhang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief: "Sage, rest assured, no matter whether it is sunny or rainy tomorrow, the old minister will prepare everything and strive for everything." ”

Li Longji nodded, then waved his hand to let everyone retreat, until only he and Xiao Jiangyuan were left in the tent, he sighed softly and leaned weakly on the couch.

Xiao Jiangyuan walked up to Li Longji and sat down: "If you don't change the period of the ceremony, you won't shy away from this rain." This consummation is given by heaven or not, but everyone always has to fight for this tone. ”

Li Longji snorted lightly: "Heaven chose to start raining at this time, maybe he wanted to say that I shouldn't be able to seal Zen, I don't deserve to seal Zen, if I change the schedule because of this, wouldn't I admit it?" I don't! It is said that this imperial power is bestowed, but what has God done except for natural disasters for me every year? I am the one who governs the country, the national situation is thriving, and I have worked hard to get out, I want to talk about my hard work and achievements over the years with this God, why not? Whether he likes to listen or not, I won't back down because of a rain! ”

Having said that, Li Longji still didn't sleep all night. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he really got into a stubborn temper with the sky. Xiao Jiangyuan always listened attentively to the voices outside the tent, hoping that a miracle would happen - Qin Tianjian said that this rain had been brewing for a long time, and it was afraid that it would rain for more than three days.

Just after the end of the hour, they heard the commotion outside, Xiao Jiangyuan and Li Longji glanced at each other, and walked out of the tent curiously. I saw that everyone was happy, laughing, and running around to tell each other, and in a short time there were people standing outside the tent.

"The rain has stopped! Great, the rain has stopped! ”

As soon as Li Longji came out, he was blinded by this sentence. He was stunned for a moment, and personally reached into the air for a long time before he dared to believe that this was the truth.

As soon as Xiao Jiangyuanfu came out of the tent, he realized that it was not only because of everyone's obvious joy, but also because the light was much brighter than the day when he climbed the mountain. At this time, after the rain had passed, she looked at Chenguang, and then looked to the east, and really saw that above the snow-white and flawless churning clouds, there was a half round of red sun, which was slowly rising.

At this time, the morning glow sprinkled all over the heavens and the earth.

The ceremony was finally held smoothly. On the top of the mountains, above the vast sea of clouds, Li Longji looked up at the sky at the highest place, recalling the past, full of emotion. The depression and misery of childhood, the disambition of youth, and the struggle for the top of youth passed through his mind one by one, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was no longer confused.

A little sour feeling surged up the tip of Li Longji's nose. After so many years, he finally came to the end of his suffering. How many setbacks did he go through before he went from a young emperor who was expected and even somewhat despised by his courtiers to a mature emperor who is pleased, convinced, and even somewhat admired by his subjects today? How difficult each step he takes, how mixed it is at this time.

Xiao Jiangyuan has always followed Li Longji, changed his clothes, put on a crown, and handled all his etiquette. She accompanied Li Longji every step of the way, and when she suddenly saw Li Longji shed a tear, she couldn't help but be stunned - today is the happiest day in her family's Ah Lang's life, she should be extremely happy, why do you cry?

Although Li Longji wept, the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper.

When it was time to present the jade, Li Longji stopped his movements and asked: "Aiqing, who knows why the emperor of the previous generation of Zen has to keep this jade secret?" ”

Li Longji's question was very sudden and not in the process, which surprised the ministers. Zhang said that these days are too busy, and he was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night last night, and he was a little dull at this time, but He Zhizhang, a bachelor of Jixian Academy and a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, replied: "Enlighten the saint." Jade was originally used to communicate with the gods, and the previous emperors had different desires, or hoped for immortality, or wanted to feather and ascend to immortals, all of which were the emperor's private affairs, so it was not easy to make it public. ”

"I see." Li Longji said suddenly, "But my trip is to pray for the common people, and what I write in this article is not those things, and there is nothing that cannot be made public." He asked He Gong to listen to it in heaven and earth. ”

Because of what He Zhizhang said, this jade is often written by the emperor himself, and the officials know some of it, so they don't feel that it is inappropriate. Li Longji's actions surprised everyone, and he also became extremely curious about the content on his jade.

He Zhizhang respectfully took the jade, looked at it fixedly, his handsome eyebrows couldn't help but show, and he said loudly: "There is a Tang heir Tianzi Chen, who dares to tell Yu Haotian God: Apocalypse Li, Yunxing Tude; Gaozu Taizong, ordered to stand up; Gaozong ascended to the middle school, and Liuhe was prosperous; Zhongzong Shaofu, the succession is uncertain. God bless, Xichen is loyal. It is difficult to be in the end, and the Holy Father is recommended. Compliments to Dabao, three years out of ten. If it is the will of heaven, the four seas are clear. Worship Daizong, Xie Cheng Yutian. Children and grandchildren, blessed by the common people! ”

At the end of the ceremony, Li Longji lit the sacrificial wood on the altar. The fire tree suddenly soared into the air, and the ministers on the top of the mountain suddenly fell to their knees. The people at the foot of the mountain saw the pillar of smoke on the top of the mountain from afar, and immediately responded.

"Ten thousand years of Datang! Your Majesty Long live! ”

"Long live Datang! Long live Your Majesty! ”

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”

The cheers at the foot of the mountain top and mountain came one after another, earth-shattering, and endlessly for a long time. Everyone was immersed in this great joy and honor. After kneeling, there is a group dance, and the whole Mount Tai is plunged into a sea of joy.

In this situation, Li Longji only felt full of pride. He excitedly pulled Zhang and said: "Datang can come to this day, thanks to the assistance of the prime minister, I hope that you and I can always be the same as today!" ”

Zhang said this sentence so much that he almost cried. He used to be a hero from the dragon, but he was once demoted. He traveled in the place for many years, lowered his body everywhere, and begged for help with a smile before he was able to return to the position of prime minister. Even if he worships the prime minister again, he is still uneasy and has been nervous, thinking about completing everything he wants to do as soon as possible. Now, all these wishes have finally come true, and he has finally regained the trust of the saint, he was already very satisfied, but he didn't expect that the saint would say such emotional words to him?!

How could he not be moved by this heavy unexpected joy?

Li Longji personally took a handkerchief to Zhang Shuo to wipe his tears, and then let him go to have fun with others, while he turned around and walked to the side, turning his back to everyone and overlooking the mountain.

At this time, the fog has dispersed, the golden light is everywhere, and the distant and near scenery under the mountain can be included in the bottom of the eye.

Li Longji looked at the world, and Xiao Jiangyuan looked at him.

Purple clothes and gold belts, oblique red sideburns, holding a whisk in his hand, today's Xiao Jiangyuan is naturally the same as others, dressed up.

Today's Li Longji is wearing the most solemn crown and twelve crowns, hiding the wanton and chic on weekdays, adding a bit of nobility and stability.

Datang is his dream, and he is her dream.

She slowly walked to Li Longji's side and overlooked the country with him. She wanted to say something to him, but she thought about it for a while, but she couldn't come up with a word.

Suddenly, Li Longji said: "Do you see it? ”

"See what?"

"This is my Datang!"

Xiao Jiangyuan saw it. She looked at it carefully and wanted to engrave everything in her heart.

In the end, she found that what she wanted to say to him the most was actually just one sentence-

"May you and I ever be this day."

Her voice was too low, and the voices around her were too noisy, and Li Longji didn't hear anything clearly: "What did you say?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan turned his head to meet Li Longji's gaze and smiled lightly: "Everyone's wishes can be made public, but the minister's wishes are still kept secret. ”

Li Longji didn't rely on it, but no matter how much he coerced and tempted, he couldn't get an answer. Xiao Jiangyuan was unprecedentedly stubborn and refused to say anything. Li Longji had to sigh helplessly and said, "May you and I never be today." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was slightly stunned, then saw Li Longji holding his hand and continued:

"Two hearts know each other, and two feelings are unswerving."
