The envoys of the Tang Dynasty sent by Li Yuan were Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, and Tang Jian, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, both of whom Li Yuan trusted very much.

As soon as the two of them entered the boundary of Suzhou, they were very surprised, Suzhou has no sense of depression, and the streets are shoulder to shoulder, a bustling scene of traffic.

Li Xiaoji was quite shocked and said: "This Suzhou is even more prosperous than Chang'an, I can't believe it." ”

Tang Jian also said angrily: "Yes, Luo's village is self-preservation, Suzhou is war-free, naturally prosperous, and Yangzhou is much depressed."

The same is true of Chengdu, which is more prosperous than Chang'an.

In this world, the world will benefit from the world, and the pattern of Luo San Su Si will definitely change.

Yangzhou and Luoyang were defeated because of the military disaster, which is destined to be seen.

Luoyang is a holy city, and it can be rebuilt in the future, and the recovery of Yangzhou depends on the world's merchants, but Emperor Yang of Sui built a canal to lead directly to Yangzhou, and perhaps the recovery will be faster. ”

The number of the Tang Dynasty delegation was extremely large, and as soon as they entered the boundary of Suzhou, they were immediately informed by Luo's, and Luo's people hurriedly came to greet them, and the group went to Suzhou Manor.

Here, Tang Jian and Li Xiaoji met Luo Xuanjing and Luo Jingcheng, and from the news obtained from the Tang Dynasty, Jiangnan Luo's is hosted by Luo Xuanjing and Luo Jingcheng together, among which Luo Xuanjing's voice is probably a little higher, and Luo's daughter has always had a tradition of presiding over the family.

Li Xiaoji did not delay, and directly unfolded the holy decree and read it, "Zierluo Jingcheng, a famous family, a powerful Jiangzuo, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, there have been many achievements, the world is remarkable, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, cheer up for a lifetime, keep the family business, Fang Jin, the heart belongs to my Tang, I am very happy."

Edict: Luojing became the king of Gusu County, 5,000 households in Shiyi, Shangzhu State, plus the three divisions of Fuyi, the general of Xiaocai, and the right servant of Jiangnan Dao Xingtai Shangshu. ”

This decree is much more sincere than that given to Duvowe, and it belongs to what everyone thinks is normal, and politically, normal is a good thing, which means that it will not lead to criticism.

After reading the holy decree given to Luo Jingcheng, he did not stop, whether it was Li Yuan or Li Xiuning, they would not forget Luo Xuanjing, the daughter of the Luo family who had been by Luo Su's side for many years.

"The noble daughter of the Zirluo clan, Xuanjing, is from Gaozong, famous Jiangzuo, has a prestige, knows the righteousness, and is a heroine among women, not inferior to others.

Edict: With Luo Xuanjing as the wife of Wu Guo, the same county lord, plus the history of Suzhou Thorn, the general manager of the Jiangnan Road march, Erqi Qinzai. ”

Luo Jingcheng and Luo Xuanjing glanced at each other, both a little surprised, they didn't expect Li Yuan to let Luo Xuanjing serve as the assassin of Suzhou.

At present, Datang is a state and county system, and the history of assassination, especially the history of Shangzhou assassins like Suzhou, is basically the top among the magistrates.

This is a professional officer from the third grade!

Although the Tang Dynasty has set up a Tao in the state, the current Tao is still only a purely military institution.

For example, Luo Jingcheng's Jiangnan Dao Xingtai Shangshu is the right servant, which sounds like a civil official, but in fact, because the world is not peaceful, he has only one duty, that is, to raise grain and grass, and he is a typical military attaché.

Needless to say, the marching chief on Luo Xuanjing's body is a temporary dispatch official position, the same as the marching generalissimo on Li Shimin.

The two of them were not stupid, and immediately understood, "Emperor Tang wants us to launch an offensive in the south, attack the city and plunder the land." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Luo Jingcheng invited the angel into the mansion, and asked casually, "I don't know what official position Your Majesty gave Du Fuwei?" ”

Tang Jian said with a smile while watching: "Your Majesty named King Xu as the secretary of the Southeast Dao Xingtai, sealed the Zhuguo, and added the three divisions of Fuyi, which is really trustworthy." ”

Well?

Luo Jingcheng and Luo Xuanjing, who were originally just casually asked, immediately found out that something was wrong, Kaifuyi and Sansi and Shangzhuguo were understandable, but neither the title nor the position was right.

King Xu, when he heard it, he was a prince, where is there a reason to give his courtiers the title of prince?

The Southeast Road Xingtai Shangshu Order, this is also quite wrong, and it is not inferior to the prince's fault.

Among Li Yuan's sons, Li Shimin was the Yizhou Dao Xingtai Shangshu Ling, Li Yuanba was the Hebei Dao Xingtai Shangshu Ling, and Li Yuanji was the Xiangzhou Dao Xingtai Shangshu Ling, this official position is also for the prince, or at least the clan can only hold it.

is also given to the military and political power of a place, Li Yuan gave Luo Jingcheng the right servant, and Luo Xuanjing was the general manager of the marching army, at least on the surface to divide the power, but to Du Fuwei is completely trusted.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Li Yuan, the old boy, didn't have a good heart, Luo Xuanjing and Luo Jingcheng secretly glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be a little vigilant against Li Yuan in their hearts.

Du Fuwei was written by Luo Jingcheng to persuade him to surrender with his personal reputation and the reputation of the Luo family, and Li Yuan was not kind to Du Fuwei, which was a challenge to Luo's political reputation.

If Du Fuwei dies by himself, there is no way, but if Du Fuwei does not make trouble, Luo's must protect him, otherwise the people's hearts will be scattered, and how will Luo's lead the team in the future, and he will not even be able to protect his own people.

However, Du Fuwei didn't feel that there was anything wrong, this matter was also outrageous, even Han Wumu didn't want the throne at the beginning, and now he dared to take over the position of prince.

"Write a letter to Du Fuwei, persuade him, let him give up the throne, this is the way to die."

Luo Xuanjing whispered beside Luo Jingcheng, Luo Jingcheng nodded to show that he understood, Tang Jian and Li Xiaoji walked into Luo Mansion with smiles on their faces.

……

The collapsed earthwork, the messy weeds, the blood falling on the weeds, the corpses lying in the grass, looking from afar, a desolate scene, this is the Central Plains today.

Li Shimin came on horseback, he haunted almost every corner of Heluo, only a few people, and laughed loudly at Wang Shichong's army on the city wall: "I am Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who dares to fight?" ”

Facing the arrogant Li Shimin, the direction of Luoyang didn't seem to hear it, but he showed resentment, but he didn't dare to attack, and the people who looked at Li Shimin's side were a little afraid.

Behind Li Shimin, the people lined up were, Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chigong, one is fiercer than the other, all of them are generals of ten thousand enemies, especially Luo Xuanye and Qin Qiong, who take the head of the enemy generals in the ten thousand horses, which is simply outrageous and inhuman.

These 60,000 fierce generals, coupled with Li Shimin, a commander who is extremely good at seizing the opportunity, Zheng Jun, who has suffered a big loss, will never try to fight the Tang army again.

Zheng Jun did not fight, Li Shimin smiled and then retreated to the camp, he came in front of Luoyang City, it was a whim, he often had this sudden idea.

Back in the barracks, Li Shimin said with a hearty smile: "Since Wang Shichong likes to consume with us, then we will consume with him, the food in the south of the Yangtze River is endless, but we have to see if he Wang Shichong starved to death first, or we starved to death first." ”

There was a burst of laughter in the barracks, but Luo Xuanye did not laugh.

Because the pressure on the Tang Army is not small.

If it was last month, there were all kinds of pressures, but after the grain from Suzhou arrived, the pressure on the grain and grass on the front line in Luoyang suddenly decreased.

But the war was not only about the pressure of grain and grass, but also in the six months of confrontation with Wang Shichong, the casualties of the Tang army were also very large.

Wang Shichong deeply understood that after losing this battle, he would never have a chance, and he fought very tenaciously.

The Tang army had launched a general attack on Luoyang a month ago, but the defenders of Luoyang were unusually strong, and the Tang army paid huge casualties without the slightest progress.

This is the case with sieges, there have never been people in history who have actually conquered fortified cities, and almost all of the fortified cities that have been captured are factors other than warfare.

It was precisely because of this that Li Shimin changed his strategy and cut off Luoyang's contact with the outside world.

Wang Shichong can't fight in the field, and he can't fight for consumption, so why can he win?

In the current Luoyang City, even if it is described as hell, it is not an exaggeration, Luoyang City is a big city in the world, with a large population, the Tang army only besieged the city for a month, and no less than one-third of the people in the city starved to death.

Even many low-level officials could not guarantee that they would eat, and even so, Wang Shichong still turned a blind eye to Li Shimin's persuasion, and he eagerly waited for his savior to arrive.

In Luoyang Palace, Wang Shichong knelt in front of the Buddha statue, and kept muttering, "Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande, aren't you coming yet?" ”

The tragic situation in Luoyang City was expected by everyone, but the war was like this.

And when the battle is over, the wealth in the city will also be rewarded to the soldiers, this is Li Tang's military law, although the city is not slaughtered, but the people in the city except for their lives, everything can not be saved.

Li Shimin looked at the map and said slowly: "Now the Central Plains region is basically owned by my Datang, and the Tiger Prison was not in the hands of my Datang before, so we attacked Luoyang."

Now this gateway to Kanto is in our hands, so there can be no accidents, Dou Jiande supports Wang Shichong, he will definitely pass through here, and I will block him. ”

There is a group of people sitting in the tent, Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanling, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Qu Tutong, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Xu Shiyun, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, Li Shimin's luxurious configuration of Qin Wangfu, accompanied him to establish his current achievements.

Luo Xuanye and Changsun Wuji have accompanied him to the whole scene since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, most of them are people who surrendered, but they have become his humerus ministers.

The veteran Qu Tutong has always adhered to his own opinion, that is, to withdraw the army, he will highlight a stable word when he fights, "Wang Shichong is in front, Dou Jiande is in the back, it is too dangerous, once it is attacked from both sides, our army will be defeated, and it will be difficult to return in a battle."

And King Qin, now our army is no longer as strong as when it just came out of the customs, the previous siege could not be stopped, and a large number of casualties were paid, which was a great blow to the morale of our army, and now the soldiers are very tired, if they still have to face such a big battle, it is impossible to support. ”

Qu Tutong's words were so reasonable that Li Shimin didn't know how to refute them, but he was unwilling to listen to Qu Tutong's opinion, he set his eyes on Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanye said in a deep voice: "Fighting a war is never necessarily right, it's just a choice, it's a choice to fight steadily, but give up the current results."

Or to wipe out Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and then lay the general trend of the world in one fell swoop, it is the choice now.

King Qin, what would you choose?

We are all at your command. ”

What will Li Shimin, the king of Qin, choose, this is not a question, everyone in the account looked at Li Shimin, they all knew what Li Shimin would say, but they were still waiting, Qu Tutong's eyes were a little dim, but as long as Li Shimin gave the order, he would not hesitate to carry it out, even if he did not agree.

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, then looked around at everyone, and said angrily for a long time: "If there is no Tiger Prison Pass in my hand, I will definitely return to Guanzhong, but since I have a Tiger Prison Pass in my hand, then I will have to fight with Dou Jiande."

I have made up my mind to fight a decisive battle with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in the Central Plains, right here, defeat Dou Jiande and drive him back to Hebei!

Central Plains Luoyang, I'm going to decide! ”

Really!

This thought flashed in everyone's hearts, Li Shimin was like this, when he held on, he was steady and terrible, and when he attacked and formulated strategies, he had the momentum to swallow mountains and rivers.

Li Shimin looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "The Tiger Prison is the key to it, as long as we can enter the Tiger Prison Pass, relying on this dangerous pass, we are enough to resist the Hebei soldiers."

Luoyang has entered the final war, there will not be much change here, as long as Luoyang is trapped, Wang Shichong will be defeated.

Qingyang ......"

Luo Xuanye shook his head and said, "Give this place to the King of Qi and the King of Chu, I will follow the King of Qin to the Tiger Prison Pass, it is too dangerous there." ”

Li Shimin groaned, his two younger brothers still have a few brushes, even if they are not successful, they will not make any big mistakes in the war.

"Yes, let's go to the Tiger Prison Pass to block Dou Jiande, and when we capture Luoyang, Dou Jiande can naturally only retreat."

Li Shimin's speed was very fast, and he quickly made arrangements and personally led the 3,500 Xuanjia Army to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Luo Xuanye and the others naturally followed, and with the more than 2,000 people who already existed in the Tiger Prison Pass, there were already 6,000 people in the Tiger Prison Pass.

These people and Dou Jiande's 100,000 army are naturally few, but defending the city is enough, and a tiger prison can be compared to 100,000 troops.

After days of hurrying, Li Shimin only felt quite tired, but he still cheered up and inspected the fortified city.

As soon as he moved, Luo Xuanye knew what he wanted to do, Li Shimin was not only quite defending the city, but also wanted to use this city to do something to Dou Jiande, which was quite Li Shimin's idea.

……

Dou Jiande can be called in a hurry, attacking the city all the way from Hebei, and stationed on the waterside outside the Tiger Prison Pass.

The court meeting was immediately convened, and when he went on the expedition, he brought all the ministers of the Zhao State over, which can be said to be very comprehensive.

"Li Shimin, the king of Qin of the Tang Kingdom, led thousands of people into the Tiger Prison Pass, and it seems that he wants to confront my army of 100,000.

Hahaha.

Did he think a few thousand men would be able to hold back my army of 100,000? ”

Dou Jiande laughed loudly in front of everyone, and Zhao Guozhong also burst into laughter.

When Wei Zheng heard these voices, he felt a little harsh, and couldn't help but say: "King Zhao, that is the Tiger Prison Pass, back then, Hangu Pass was known as the one husband who was the pass and ten thousand people could not be opened, this Tiger Prison Pass was not inferior, how many wars happened here back then, this important military town, it was not so easy to capture." ”

The laughter in the tent suddenly stopped, Wei Zheng deserved to be the atmosphere destroyer, Dou Jiande smiled a little disappreliantly, no longer said these jokes, and said: "Since the King of Qin is here, let's start attacking the city tomorrow, so that the Tang army can see the might of my Yan Zhao Erlang." ”

Wei Zheng sat back in his seat, a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything, Dou Jiande is indeed a benevolent master, but maybe because of the continuous success, he is a little conceited, and now Wei Zheng's words, he can't listen to them.

Wei Zheng tried to speak out a few times, but either he didn't listen at all, or Wei Zheng didn't dare to say it later, he was worried that Dou Jiande wouldn't be able to help but kill him.

Now there is no one who can really persuade Dou Jiande.

It is very simple to obey in words, but it is difficult to obey in the heart, Dou Jiande obviously obeys Wei Zheng to him, but he still does his own thing when he implements it, which makes Wei Zheng very uncomfortable.

"It would be nice if the right servant shot at it, maybe he could still be persuaded to move."

The right servant shot in Wei Zheng's mouth is Luo Xuanzhao, the son of Luo's who took refuge in Dou Jiande.

Now it is an absolute high position in Zhao Guozhong, Shangshu's right servant shoots, Shangshu's left servant shoots vacancy, this time Dou Jiande attacked, he stayed in Handan to deal with government affairs, and provided Dou Jiande with grain and grass.

Accompanying Dou Jiande was Luo Xuanyun, but Luo Xuanyun was young and had not yet been crowned.

Dou Jiande regarded him as a junior, and although he was very fond of him and let him take charge of the Zhao State Guard, he basically listened to his opinions on military affairs.

Zhao Guozhong was filled with disdain for the Tiger Prison Pass, thinking that even if it was a dangerous pass, but they were 100,000 troops, even if they were ten times more surrounded according to the Art of War, it was far exceeded, how could there be a problem?

But reality soon gave them a heavy slap, and on the first day of the attack on Tiger Pass, the Zhao army ushered in a fierce blow, suffering heavy casualties but not even being able to touch the city wall.

This Xiongguan in the world taught Zhao Jun a hard lesson, and Dou Jiande, who did not believe in evil, attacked for another three days, but except for leaving a corpse, there was no result.

The momentum of Zhao Jun's consecutive victories all the way was empty.

In the big tent, Dou Jiande said loudly when he saw this: "What are you doing with your head down?"

If you want to capture the fortified city in three days, is it too much to look down on the Tiger Prison?

Although the casualties of our army are relatively large, is there no casualties in the Tang army?

There are so few of them, if there are a lot of casualties, they will not even be able to spread the city walls, and continue to attack! ”

Luo Xuanyun couldn't help but say: "King Zhao, let the minister personally lead the team, what if you can take a city gate?" ”

Hearing this, Dou Jiande hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Xuanyun."

Your brother Luo Xuanye, the Duke of Tang Zhou, is in the Tiger Prison, are you his opponent? ”

Luo Xuanyun was stunned when he heard this, he definitely couldn't beat Luo Xuanye, Luo Xuanye's force was also in the forefront in the history of Luo's 1,600 years, especially Luo Xuanye was at the peak of his life, and his peak had not yet arrived.

Dou Jiande said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to take this risk, if a commander folds in the battle formation, then I will lose a lot, so I can always take the attack." ”

Luo Xuanyun sat down, his hands clenched tightly into fists, but he didn't know what to say, he had an ominous premonition, he didn't know what to do if King Zhao was really defeated.

He recalled the political and prosperous people of Hebei, the prosperity of Hebei, the benevolence and righteousness of King Zhao towards the nobles and the common people, and now Xu Shiyun and Li Shentong in Li Tangzhong should be grateful to King Zhao.

He recalled what the second brother had said, "King Zhao is a little too benevolent, Xu Shiyun and Li Shentong should be killed, and those who can't be used by me should be killed."

He is not the Son of Heaven yet, only the Son of Heaven has the power to pardon everyone, and the princes should do the things of the princes. ”

That being said, it is precisely because of Dou Jiande's benevolence that the second brother and he will willingly help Dou Jiande.

If Dou Jiande wins the final victory of this competition, Luoche can get unimaginable benefits from it.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers who are now in Li Tang's camp can safely join Zhao Guo's camp.

……

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Shimin and others are also talking about Dou Jiande, it has been half a month since Dou Jiande attacked the Tiger Prison Pass, and in this half month, Li Shimin and others have been firmly stationed, and the Tiger Prison Pass has not yet shaken the slightest smell.

Every day is a kind of torture for Luoyang, Dou Jiande is more and more anxious, and if he can't break through the tiger prison, he can only roll back to Hebei in a gray way.

Li Shimin has been waiting for an opportunity.

Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanling leaned against the city wall, and Luo Xuanling suddenly said: "Fourth brother, I saw Ah Yun today, he was by Dou Jiande's side, and the second brother didn't come." ”

Luo Xuanye nodded and didn't speak, but Li Shimin turned out from the corner, and he happened to hear it when he was inspecting the city, "Qingyang Qingyu rest assured, your younger brother, after defeating Dou Jiande, you will take him under your command, and there will never be a danger to your life." ”

Luo Xuanye and Luo Xuanling saluted, and then looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this is not up to Li Shimin, what if the emperor wants to kill Dou Jiande?

There is only one reason why the second brother and the seventh brother are not desperate, that is, if they don't kill Dou Jiande, as long as they kill Dou Jiande, no matter what the reason, the two of them will have to fight hard with Li Tang.

If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin, then ......

Li Shimin didn't feel the uneasiness in the hearts of the two, "Let's go, I called someone to the house, discuss the next things, and estimate that the time is almost up, Dou Jiande should start to be anxious." ”

Li Shimin is the best at making others anxious, and when he is in a hurry, it is easy to reveal flaws, and then he can use this flaw to defeat Dou Jiande fiercely.

……

When Dou Jiande couldn't storm it, someone gave him an opinion, that is, no longer storming the Tiger Pass, but detouring to Taihang Mountain and entering Hedong from Taihang Eight Paths.

Now that all the armies of the Tang State are in the Central Plains, Hedong is empty, as long as Hedong is captured, it can threaten Guanzhong.

In other words, it is not a threat at all, the current Guanzhong is extremely empty, and Dou Jiande can even copy the process of Li Yuan seizing Guanzhong.

This is a very bold idea, which was born out of the matter of saving Zhao from Wei Wei, and when Dou Jiande first heard it, he was quite moved.

Because this proposal was full of bright prospects, but Dou Jiande thought about it a lot and finally rejected it.

In this process, Wei Zheng did not persuade Dou Jiande, because Wei Zheng also felt that this method was not as good as he imagined.

The army of the Tang State is indeed in the Central Plains, and it is indeed empty, but to what extent is it empty?

Six thousand Tang troops stationed at the Tiger Prison Pass can make the Zhao army stand still, and there are many fortified cities in Hedong, such as Jinyang, which are all fortified cities, as long as there are thousands of soldiers and horses, it is difficult to conquer.

At the beginning, Liu Wu, Zhou and Song Jingang were able to sweep Hedong because they encountered the waste of Li Yuanji.

But who is guarding the east side of the river now?

Hedong Road Xingtai Shangshu Ling, Hedong Road Marching Chief, Jinyang Stay, Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning!

Regarding the reputation of this princess, who in the world doesn't know, she holds Hedong, where is Hedong so easy to break?

If the army goes to Hedong, crosses the Taihang Mountain, and cannot capture Hedong, then it will face the risk of running out of food, and Li Shimin will definitely attack the Zhao army from behind, and in a place like Hedong, it is likely to reproduce the tragedy of the original Battle of Changping.

Moreover, they came to the rescue of Wang Shichong, and now the reason why the Tang army only has 6,000 soldiers and horses stationed here is because Wang Shichong is holding back the Tang Dynasty army in Luoyang, if Luoyang falls because of the detour to Taihang Mountain, then the Tang army will be connected in the vast Central Plains, Hedong, and Guanzhong.

All the troops were able to pull out, and in view of this, Wei Zheng did not persuade Dou Jiande to accept this suggestion.

For Dou Jiande, what he thinks is even simpler, he has an army of 100,000, and in the face of a pass with only a few thousand people, why can't he break it?

As long as he can break through the Tiger Pass, the Tang army, which is attacked on both sides, will inevitably collapse, and he will be able to drive straight in, not only to destroy the main force of the Tang army here, but also to directly get the Central Plains.

At that time, Hedong could only surrender, and the entire east of the Yellow River would be the territory of Zhao, and his great cause of dominating the world could basically be completed.

Everything lies only in this battle, and the battle is decided.

That's the difference between a strategist and a king!

Why is he Dou Jiande hiding?

In the process of becoming the Son of Heaven, there can be no fear, is he worse than that Qin King Li Shimin?

Or is he inherently inferior to that Li Yuan?

There is no such reason in this world, that Li Shimin, when he received a letter from his own mediation, but ignored it and detained it, isn't it the same idea?

Li Shimin also wants to defeat himself and Wang Shichong in a battle to achieve his great cause of the Tang Dynasty.

Coincidental!

I, Dou Jiande, think the same way!

Then let me see who is the chosen one of this era!

Hebei God Lord Yuan Benchu, you have failed, Zhao is called a puppet country, but the hearts of the people of Hebei will never be destroyed.

Now that I have risen from Hebei and established the Zhao State in accordance with the will of the people of Hebei, we will not fail this time.

I have the hearts of the people of Hebei, and those who get the hearts of the people will get the world, this is what King Su said.

Please bless me, O Emperor Su!

……

The night sky is like washing, the stars are shining, Li Shimin stood on the city wall, looking at the dark outside of the city, his thoughts were rolling, he seemed to see that in the dark night, there was a shining star rising, that person was called Dou Jiande.

Li Shimin didn't feel any uneasiness in his heart, he only felt excited, this month's war only made him feel that the balance of victory was tilted in his favor, and he was now full of confidence.

Recalling the ancient etiquette, he slowly crossed his hands, placed them on his forehead, and bowed his head.

Emperor Su, please send down the mandate of heaven for the Tang Dynasty!

Advent in ...... of the body!
