Chapter 69: Li Shimin's Followers

Zhang Zheng's weight loss plan was put on hold and not to mention.

Time flows like flowing water, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer.

In this regard, Zhang Zheng has nothing to say, he can only wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

After all, the preparations that need to be made have already been made, and everything is just waiting for the final result to be revealed.

With Li Shimin's holy decree to sacrifice to the sky in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the world was revealed.

While the world is in an uproar, some people are also suspicious.

Li Shimin will admit defeat so easily, it's unlikely.

Although sacrificing to the heavens is not necessarily an edict of guilt, Li Shimin's move is intriguing enough.

Could it be that with the spread of the locust plague in Guanzhong, Li Shimin finally couldn't hold on.

It's a pity that no matter how much they want to break their heads, they can't think of such an important thing as sacrificing to the sky.

It turned out to be just a gentleman who pleaded Li Shimin to do this.

Isn't this a joke, how could a fifteen-year-old kid He De make the great Majesty Li Er willingly give up this step.

However, no matter what Li Shimin's idea is. Some people with ulterior motives still began to move.

I'm going to make an article and do something when Li Er sacrifices to the sky.

As long as Li Shimin dares to sacrifice to the sky, they will be sure that Li Shimin will make this edict for his own sin.

You must know that the edict of guilt is not just as simple as Li Shimin's next edict and admitting his mistakes, but it represents the king admitting to heaven his mistakes in governance.

It is not only necessary to ask Haotian God and the people of the world for their sins.

In addition, all the previous governing policies must be abolished and started all over again.

If it weren't for that, why would the family want to try their best to let Li Er make this edict.

Even if there are more than a hundred courtiers in now, they will not hesitate.

The excerpt that asked His Majesty to confess his sins still flew to the center like snowflakes.

It was really painful to be harmed by Zhang Zheng's work-for-relief strategy, as well as the slave restriction order of Na Laoshizi.

Not to mention that Zhang Zheng also presented two big killers, newspapers and movable type printing.

The family is about to face the dilemma of having no cheap labor to exploit and not to mention it, and now even the monopoly on education is about to be broken.

Seeing that he was about to fall from the status of a god looking down on the world to a mortal world, how could he not let the great families who thought highly of themselves be extremely angry.

Therefore, impeaching Li Shimin and asking Li Er to issue an edict for his own crimes, or sending someone to assassinate Zhang Zheng, is the proper meaning of the question.

It's just that they may not know that all those folds were used by Fang Xuanling to burn charcoal, grill and barbecue.

……

Under everyone's ardent expectations, the Mid-Autumn Festival came as scheduled.

At noon, Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to burn the tortoise shell to devour the divination, and the hexagram showed good luck.

With the sound of the drum of the ceremonial officials, in Chang'an City, the flying horses opened the way and blocked the entire Suzaku Street.

The Xuande Gate, just south of Chang'an City, has been guarded by flying cavalry soldiers.

The wide official road outside the city, ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, the dragon card that avoids has reached the Temple of Heaven in the mound.

Yellow sand mat road, clear water dust.

Li Shimin wore a big fur and a crown, dressed in a ben suit.

Luan drove from Taiji Palace. The civil and military officials who accompanied him were all dressed in robes and robes of birds and animals, and wore bright red hats.

All of them followed Li Shimin's steps.

It's just that the number of people is much smaller than in the past. About one or two hundred people.

Zhang Zheng is naturally also in the ranks of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and he also has the title of county baron.

The county man, from Wupinjue, is not high or low among the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty.

But Zhang Zheng is only fifteen years old this year, and at the age of fifteen, compared with a group of courtiers who wear red and purple but are in their last years, they are very conspicuous.

In particular, most of the military generals who were in the prime of life were sent out by Li Er on a business trip and had not yet returned to Beijing.

And many young, strong-blooded courtiers were taken down by Li Er because of their enthusiasm.

Zhang Zheng suddenly became the bird that came out.

I had to look at the sky with my eyes and nose and say silently in my heart: "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me." ”

Then he covered his face and ran towards the line of envoys from other countries who were following the civil and military courtiers.

Li Er wanted to sacrifice to the sky, and as an envoy who came to Chang'an to pay tribute, he was qualified to observe the ceremony.

Ju Wentai is naturally among them.

The Temple of Heaven is only thirty miles away from Chang'an, which sounds very close, but it is actually very close.

It only takes half an hour to go back and forth, but that's usual.

Today, all the ministers of civil and military affairs can only walk.

Thirty miles on foot, in such weather, there are locusts outside the city.

For these ministers who are pampered on weekdays, Zhang Zheng just wants to send them two words: "Hehe." ”

Among the crowd, there were two elderly people who stood out because the others were walking.

But these two old men have the honor of riding on a chariot.

Even the old Li Gang, who was driving beside Li Er, was eighty-two years old and could only walk.

And those two old men can not only ride on the chariot.

There are palace maids waiting beside him, and there are palace people offering cold melons to relieve the heat.

It is not so much that the two old men are going to worship the heavens, but rather to go on an outing.

And one of the chariots has a specification that is faintly half a cut higher than Li Shimin.

The honor guard is higher than Li Er, so the identity of this old man is about to be revealed.

He can only be the founder of the Tang Empire, the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor Li Yuan, who was later honored as Gaozu.

The specifications of the other step chariot were much lower, but there were only a lot more people waiting beside him than Li Yuan.

Without him, because this old man is really too old.

Even the gray-haired Emperor Li Yuan, or the old Li Gang, who has gray hair, can be regarded as a young man with strong blood in front of this old man.

And when Zhang Zheng found out that this old man appeared in the palace, he knew in his heart that Li Shimin's victory was decided.

It was also when he saw this old man that Zhang Zheng suddenly understood why Li Shimin so hastily promised him to go to the mound to worship the sky.

While scolding Li Er in his heart for being an old yin, Zhang Zheng also let go of a hundred hearts.

Because this old man's surname is Yan, and his name is Yan Zhitui.

He is the head of the seventy-two sages of Confucius, and the descendant of the resurrection of the holy face.

What's more, this old man is already a hundred years old, and now the famous Confucians in Datang are basically the students of this old man.

Therefore, in fact, Li Shimin's real backhand is this old man.

It's not Zhang Zheng's foolproof strategy.

According to the historical records of later generations, Yan Zhitui was erudite and knowledgeable, and wrote a lot in his life.

Yan Zhitui not only has a high attainment in the two books "Zhou Li" and "Zuo Chuan".

The "Gan Family Motto" is a precedent for family mottos.

In addition, there are also annotated with 30 volumes of "Anthology", "Chengtianda Sexuality", "Brief Interpretation of Customs", 1 volume of "Notes on Urgent Chapters", 1 volume of "Pen and Ink Law", 1 volume of "Commandment and Killing Training", 1 volume of "Seven Enlightenments", 3 volumes of "Ji Shengfu", 5 volumes of "Zheng Vulgar Yinzi", 3 volumes of "Revenge of Grievances", 20 volumes of "Jiling Ji", and 7 volumes of "Yan's Family Motto".

It's a pity that only two books have been handed down: "Yan's Family Motto" and "Repaying Grievances".

There are still editions of the "Notes on the Urgent Chapter", "The Verification of Vulgar Phonetic Characters" and "The Records of the Spirit", and the other books have all been lost.

With so many exquisite ancient books lost, how can it not make people sigh.
