Chapter 123: The festive season is approaching

The eunuchs and palace maids in Qianchang Palace were busy again, and they saw that there were not many days left before the Spring Festival of the sixteenth year of Longwu. The Spring Festival in the Central Plains is a major festival that has been handed down since ancient times, and the royal family attaches great importance to it. Although this is the seventy-ninth Spring Festival of the younger brother of the Great Qian Empire, the palace maids and eunuchs do not dare to slack off at all, and punishment is definitely indispensable if something goes wrong at this time. Therefore, although their speed is fast, they are all extremely careful one by one, and they dare not make the slightest mistake.

There was no change in the Qinzheng Palace, and it was still the same quiet. Li Yunqing sat on the dragon chair and seriously criticized the folds, as long as he was in the palace, every day was like this. The world is governed by his gestures, and this is the king of a country. After an hour of this, he finally closed the recital. That's when he noticed movement outside.

He glanced at Wu Nian and asked puzzledly, "What is going on, what are the people outside doing?" ”

Wu Nian bowed slightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If you go back to the emperor, there are still seven or eight days before Chinese New Year's Eve." The palace is very lively, and everyone is busy. Don't talk about it, let's just say that the entire Qianchang Palace needs to be cleaned again. ”

Li Yunqing nodded when he heard this, "It's going to be Chinese New Year's Eve so soon?" In the sixteenth year of Longwu......" Li Yunqing was a little stunned.

He now finally realizes what it means to pass by time, and he thinks back to the scene when he ascended the throne as if it happened yesterday. Wu Nian said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, you have been in charge of the world for sixteen years, and these sixteen years are the prime of life." "He was originally from the common people, and the words he said naturally represented the common people. In the past sixteen years, the life of the people has indeed been better every day.

Li Yunqing was not thinking about his martial arts at the moment, which was enough to be proud of the emperors of previous dynasties, but his father and brother appeared in his mind. Thinking in his heart, he got up and said to Wu Nian: "Go and prepare, I want to go to the imperial mausoleum to take a walk and see the two first emperors of Taizu and Taizong." Regarding Li Yunqing's arrangement, Wu Nian naturally didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly ordered the people below to go and prepare. It didn't take much time for the carriage to stop, Li Yunqing took Wu Nian to the imperial mausoleum, and the carriage disappeared into the palace without much effort.

As soon as Li Yunqing left the palace with his front foot, Zhao Bingyan and a group of harem concubines came to the Qinzheng Palace. When the little eunuch who was waiting saw that the ladies wanted to see the emperor, he had to kneel on the ground and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, masters, the emperor left the palace an hour ago. At this time, he naturally didn't dare to tell half a lie, lying in front of the queen was no different from bullying the king.

Zhao Bingyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled dumbly, looked at the women beside him, and said helplessly: "Most of them are a little tired and wandering around Tai'an City." When the rest of the women heard this, they all smiled and felt that their father-in-law was very lively.

When the little eunuch heard this, he was bold and said: "If you go back to your master, the emperor is not hanging out. The servants heard that the emperor had gone to the imperial tomb. ”

Zhao Bingyan couldn't help but be stunned again when he heard this: "Imperial Mausoleum? What is the emperor going to do at this time? "The imperial mausoleum is important, even the emperor himself only goes to the imperial mausoleum to hold a grand worship ceremony on the day of the ancestor today, and almost does not enter the imperial mausoleum at other times. So it's no wonder that Zhong Bingyan was so surprised, and even a little worried. He remembered the last time Li Yunqing was furious because of the destruction of the imperial tomb, even if she persuaded him, he couldn't persuade him, and Li Yunqing even yelled at him many times.

At this moment, Li Yunqing's carriage is about to arrive at the imperial tomb, and the imperial tomb of Daqian is not far from the capital, only ninety miles away, and it is convenient for the later monarch to worship here, so Li Yunqing and the two will soon arrive at the place. Jin Wuwei, who was guarding the Imperial Mausoleum, saw a carriage parked nearby, and immediately looked at it with all his eyes, and the golden spear in his hand even began to chill. When Wu Nian and Li Yunqing approached, even one of Jin Wuwei said coldly: "Stop!" This is my Great Emperor Mausoleum, idle people are not allowed to enter, quickly retreat! Li Yunqing was wearing civilian clothes, so they naturally couldn't recognize him.

Li Yunqing glanced at Wu Nian, and Wu Nian stepped forward and took out a Kowloon gold medal from his arms. Jin Wuwei's face changed when he saw the gold medal, and he knelt on one knee in unison, and the leading Jin Wuwei said respectfully: "The last general doesn't know that the emperor has arrived, and the crime deserves death!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Long live my emperor, long live, long live......" Hundreds of Jin Wuwei shouted in unison, quite loudly.

Li Yunqing said lightly when he heard this: "Those who don't know are not guilty, let's be even." This is the resting place of Taizu Taizong, and as the guardian of the tomb and the golden guard, you must give me a twelve-point spirit, and you must not let some things that do not know life and death disturb the purity of the two emperors. "The last time the imperial tomb was destroyed, Li Yunqing is now blaming himself, and it is impossible to tolerate the second time.

Hearing this, the leading Jin Wuwei hurriedly said in a deep voice: "The last general will obey the order!" The emperor can rest assured that the last general and others will protect the imperial tomb with their hearts! ”

Li Yunqing didn't say anything more and immediately walked into the imperial mausoleum, Wu Nian took two steps but was stopped by him: "You are guarding outside, I want to talk to Taizu Taizong alone." Hearing this, Wu Nian hurriedly stood up, and did not dare to take a step forward.

The Mausoleum of Emperor Daqian covers an extremely large area, and now only two emperors and one empress are buried. Xingling is the joint tomb of Li Shanhe, the ancestor of Daqian, and his queen, and Li Hongyuan is buried in the tomb. Li Yunqing naturally wanted to go to Xingling first, first to see Lao Tzu, and then to see his brother. The mausoleum of Emperor Daqian is a man-made mountain, and the mausoleum is in the belly of the mountain. Xingling is a big mountain, extremely huge, covering an area of five miles. The whole mountain is a mausoleum, which imitates the practice of opening a mountain as a mausoleum in the Central Plains in ancient times.

The road leading to the mausoleum is an extremely smooth Shinto road, and the two groups of Shinto are stone statues, including civil servants and military generals, and some sacred beasts, who have been guarding here for decades, guarding the peace of Li Shanhe. At the end of Shinto is a palace building that enshrines the rank of Li Shanhe. Li Yunqing did not stay in the main hall for much this time, but walked through the main hall and entered the underground palace. Inside the belly of the mountain is the underground palace, and inside the underground palace is the coffin of Li Shanhe and his queen. This is the second time Li Yunqing has come in, and the first time he is still young.

Suddenly, he misses his parents and brothers, and this time he wants to be closer to them. Descending into the underground palace and walking through the deep tomb road, Li Yunqing came to a thick stone gate. The stone gate was not sealed, there is no precedent for such a rule, and it is unique to Daqian. When will this tomb door be closed? I have to wait until before Li Yunqing dies, and then after I see my parents for the last time. After Li Yunqing died, Li Qingyu or other successors closed the tomb door, which was a kind of reluctance of family affection.

Li Yunqing entered the tomb, immediately knelt on the futon between the two coffins, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, mother, and son-in-law have come to see you!" You don't need to be nervous, your son is strong, and he is only twenty-seven years old this year, which is still early. ”
