The news of the arrival of the welcoming group has been transmitted back to Chang'an in advance.

The road outside the Bacheng Gate in Chang'an East has been paved with yellow sand, and all irrelevant personnel have been cleared and separated.

Zhonglang, who was wearing armor, rode Huo Yu on a horse and led two thousand feathers Lin Lang to guard here early.

From the Dongguo Gate of Waiguo to the galloping road of Bacheng Gate, and then from the City Gate to the official road of Weiyang Palace.

All the roads that the king of Changyi had to pass through were all arranged to guard them.

In order not to disturb the chariot of the king of Changyi, the Yulin Lang did not ride horses at this time.

But the armor is sharp, and the army is neat.

Only Yulin Zhonglang rode Huo Yu on a high-headed horse with a red color, like a sculpture, guarding under the gate of Bacheng.

Huo Yu has just passed the year of standing, and he is as long and strong as his father Huo Guang, he is wearing a black armor, and the big crown of Wu Ben on his head covers the side of his face, and he can't see what his expression is.

But the eagle-like eyes showed a glimmer of unstable fierceness, and he looked at the gallop to the east, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist.

……

At the first moment, the welcoming group stopped outside the Dongguo Gate of Chang'an Waiguo.

Liu He looked solemn, slowly walked down from the car, and walked all the way to the front of the entire team.

Then, in front of the Yingjia Tuan, Yu Linlang and the officials of Changyi, he ignored the yellow sand all over the ground, knelt upright in the middle of the gallop, and wept loudly.

It wasn't until Le Cheng and others came over to help him that Liu He stood up leisurely.

At three o'clock in the first month, the welcoming group came to the Bacheng Gate in the inner city of Chang'an.

Liu He got out of the car again, knelt down in the direction of Weiyang Palace, repeated the old trick, and cried loudly again.

……

Liu He's two bitter cries were both sad and earth-shattering, which made those Yu Linlang who were guarding on both sides seem to be moved.

But among them, only Huo Yu, who was riding on the horse, didn't care, he raised his head slightly, and looked at Liu He, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, with even more disdain in his eyes than just now.

Such a weak and cowardly king of Changyi with a disease of madness is just another puppet son of heaven.

He can be the Son of Heaven, but he just happens to have the blood of Emperor Gaozu in his body.

Huo Yu couldn't understand what his father thought, and he even wanted to set up another useless son of heaven.

Liu's world, Huo's world, will there be any difference?

What you think in your heart, but you can't say it.

Huo Guang not only said one thing in the court, but also said one thing in the Huo family.

Huo Yu didn't dare to disobey his father in person.

Although he had disobedient thoughts in his heart, Huo Yu was still faithfully fulfilling his duties.

After nodding to each other, he and Lihan joined the chariot group and guided the chariot into the city with the four chauffeurs.

Liu He didn't notice Huo Yu in front of him, his attention was completely attracted by the Bacheng Gate that was getting closer and closer.

The city wall of Chang'an is six zhang high, three times the city wall of Changyi County, looking up at this time, it really looks like a mountain - Liu He vaguely remembers that Chang'an at this time is 1,200 zhang long from north to south, and 3,000 zhang wide from east to west.

And the Bacheng Gate, which was enough for a dozen cavalry to walk side by side, was more like the wide open mouth of an ancient beast, as if waiting to swallow the welcoming regiment whole.

Liu He took a deep breath and rode through the Bacheng Gate.

Suddenly, it suddenly became clear.

The entire Chang'an City finally appeared in front of Liu He like a slim girl.

The layout of Chang'an City is similar to that of Changyi City, with palaces, government offices, arsenals and princes' residences as the main ones, and the city area, especially the northern city, is where the common people live.

Therefore, like Changyi City, most of the areas in Chang'an City are not very lively, and even a little deserted.

Except for Yu Lin Lang, who was quietly guarding both sides of the pipe, there were not too many idle people waiting for him.

As soon as Liu He entered the city, it began to drizzle on a cloudy day.

The huge Chang'an slowly fell into a haze of smoke and rain.

……

Along the east-west Bacheng Street, the first thing the welcoming group passed was a palace that was Changle Palace-Yucheng Street passed through the palace from it.

For a long time, Changle Palace is the dormitory of the Queen Mother, the scale is larger than Weiyang Palace, occupying the entire northeast corner of Chang'an City, almost a quarter of the size of Chang'an City.

Daxingtianzi's mother was Mrs. Gouyi, who died of illness long before he ascended the throne, so Changle Palace was empty all year round.

If nothing else, the next queen mother to live in Changle Palace should be the empress of Shangguan who is less than fifteen years old - when Liu He ascends the throne, she will become the queen mother from the queen.

The group walked along Bacheng Street to the junction with Zhangtai Street, which runs north-south, and then turned south and came to Shangguanli and outside.

The number of ordinary people in Chang'an City is very small, but that does not mean that there are no residents.

There are still many princes and ministers living here, their families and slaves, adding up to more than 100,000 people.

The residences of these palace ministers are mainly located in Qili on the north side of Bacheng Street and Shangguanli on the south side.

When he came to the outside of Shangguanli, the first thing Liu He saw was the arsenal located on the high platform, where there were enough weapons and ordnance for the southern and northern armies.

Back then, when the abolished prince "rebelled", the first thing he did was to open the arsenal and take out weapons to arm the prisoners released from Chang'an Prison.

Liu He didn't expect that the arsenal would be so close to Weiyang Palace.

Shangguanli not only has an arsenal, but also Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

What's more, the General's mansion is also here.

From Zhangtai Street to Weiyang Palace, it is necessary to go west through Shangguanli.

Liu He looked at the mansions and the people who greeted him on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but wonder where Huo Guang's mansion was.

Huo Guang's mansion is not far from Weiyang Palace, if you can master Yulin Lang or Qimenlang of Weiyang Palace, it is estimated that it will not take an hour to surround Huo Mansion.

Of course, the current Liu He can only think about it.

At least in the past few months, Liu He must be a good puppet and not let the devil in his heart come out.

It took about two quarters of an hour to cross the Shangguan Lane.

When all the mansions on both sides were left behind, a clearing similar to a square appeared on the way to the welcoming group.

And behind the clearing, there are two palaces that are more than ten zhang high.

Behind the palace, there is a palace complex built on a high platform.

The roof cornices of the palace complex are layered on top of each other, and it is impossible to see the whole picture at a glance.

This made Liu He feel suffocated again.

In front of the Weiyang Palace, which is composed of dozens of palaces, Liu He feels as small as an ant.

After the surrender of Gaozu, this palace ushered in and sent off eight emperors.

Some people have achieved fame, and some people have bled to death.

However, Weiyang Palace is still here, and Weiyang Palace is still here.

If there is a spirit in Weiyang Palace, it will definitely despise those emperors and generals who come and go.

Now, Weiyang Palace has ushered in its ninth owner.

……

The group gradually stopped, and everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yingqi made Le Cheng walk quickly to the car that Liu He was riding, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, Weiyang Palace has arrived. ”

"What is the widow going to do now?"

"His Royal Highness is still the king of Changyi, he should first go to the funeral shed of Changyi Mansion to pay homage to the Son of Heaven of Daxing, and then temporarily return to Changyi Mansion to stay, and two days later, go to the front hall of Weiyang Palace to preside over the funeral of the Son of Heaven."

That is to say, in a few dozen hours, Liu He will be canonized by Empress Shangguan in front of the spirit of the Son of Heaven and receive the seal of the crown prince.

"The widow understands, and the widow will go to the Son of Heaven to pay homage to the Son of Heaven now."

"Yui!"

Liu He said that, got out of the carriage, and accompanied by the officials of Changyi State, walked to the rows of funeral sheds under Shuangque.

……

On the high platform of Weiyang Palace, Huo Guang stood there alone, looking at Liu He, who was as small as a black bean under the high platform, with burning eyes, and his face was expressionless.

I wonder how many years this Son of Heaven can reign in Weiyang Palace?
