Datang Longya

Chapter 1048
Hearing the order, Zhang Deyu breathed a sigh of relief, got up and went to the front to persuade his people.

Zhang Deyu's speech in Dengzhou is still very important. He was born in a liberal arts academy and he knows how to organize. It didn't take long for the road ahead to be cleared.

Looking at the people on both sides of the road who kept bowing their heads and tears streaming down their faces, Leng Feng, who led the team, sighed.

Definitely not just one place in Dengzhou!

Facts have proved that Leng Feng's worries were right. When the army left Dengzhou, as long as they passed through inhabited places along the way, there would always be people who would come out and kneel down near or far. There were many old men who couldn't walk, and even asked their children and grandchildren to support them when they went out. , just to kowtow to the dead Supreme Emperor.

The gray-haired old men and old ladies are all people who have experienced the troubled times of the end of the Sui Dynasty.Only those who have survived to the present in the era when human lives are worthless, know how hard their lives are.

Those who spontaneously bowed down were all middle-aged and above, and they knew very well how much the Supreme Emperor had contributed to this great Tang Dynasty and this prosperous age.But the dolls who are studying in the school now only know the existence of the Supreme Emperor in the books, and they don't have much touch.

Every emperor is a majestic figure. It has been a dogma since ancient times that the emperor is everywhere and the people bow down.It's just that when the people are not under pressure and dogma, and spontaneously kneel down to worship an emperor, the emperor can be said to have reached the pinnacle of success.

The catalpa wood was tasteless, but Li Shimin's coffin had been treated for some reason. It was obviously on the side of the carriage, but it could still smell a little fragrance.

Immediately, Leng Feng put his hand on the side of the carriage, and said to the coffin: "I promised you at the beginning that I would make you a word of mouth, but now it seems that I have not broken my promise. It has been three hundred miles since I left Dengzhou. In the room, the people who cried and saw you off have never ceased. As an emperor, you have reached the point where all the people are mourning in mourning, and they kowtow to see you off spontaneously, what are you dissatisfied with?"

The Empress Dowager Changsun standing by the coffin struggled to stand up and saluted Leng Feng.This agreement, she also knew, had already been forgotten as time passed.But today, after hearing Leng Feng's old words again, she realized that her husband's long-standing dream had already come true long ago.

That's right, when the emperor reaches this level, what else can he be dissatisfied with?

After Leng Feng left, the Empress Dowager Changsun finally fell asleep beside the coffin.

There are always people who are not afraid of death and gather together to block the road. If they are allowed to do this, the speed of the army's advancement will be infinitely suspended.Leng Feng had no choice but to send a group of people ahead, and when he encountered people who wanted to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor, he led them out of the main road and saw them off on both sides.

No one thought of driving them away. It is the pride of an emperor to send them away. The kindness of the people should be appreciated, not ignored.

Li Tai came, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Knowing that the army does not travel by water, he continued to advance by boat day and night, and joined the army when they had only traveled half a distance.

Li Tai, who fell in front of the carriage without changing his lab coat, was crying hoarsely.Leng Feng had heard this apprentice cry more than once, but never had he cried so heart-piercingly.Although he was mentally prepared, when this day came, Li Tai still didn't want to believe it.

Empress Dowager Changsun hugged her son and comforted him for a long time before she stopped crying.

Along the way, from time to time, princes and princesses would come and join the team.

After learning the bad news, they did not choose to wait in Chang'an, but came ahead along the railway and waterway.

When the army arrived in Luoyang, another team joined in.

It was the Xuanjia Army formed by Li Shimin, and the system of the Xuanjia Army has not been abolished. Although they are not as powerful as the Dragon Tooth Guards, as a team formed by Li Shimin himself, they have a long history that no other army has.

Since Luoyang, the trees on the side of the road have been tied with white silk, satin and linen.This was not requested by the imperial court, but was spontaneously prepared by the surrounding common people and merchants.

After arriving here, officials from the Ministry of Rites gradually joined the team, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites even asked Leng Feng directly to take away the right to guide.

For the emperor's funeral, Leng Feng only attended Li Yuan's, but he didn't know the details.

Even though it is the year of Yong'an, many rules are still dead.

There was no need to cling to the command, Leng Feng simply handed everything over to the Minister of Rites, and concentrated on taking care of Li Tai himself.

Li Shimin loves this fat son the most. On the other hand, Li Tai is also the one who reacts the most violently. He cried bitterly and even made him a little dazed. How can a master not take care of him?

The team advanced to Chang'an City, at the gate of the city, hundreds of civil and military officials were already waiting there, and the leader was Li Chengqian, whose eyes were bloodshot.

After getting the news of his father's death, he also wanted to go there immediately, but as the emperor, there are many things that he can't do willfully. In comparison, Li Tai is much more relaxed.

Right at the gate of Chang'an City, Li Chengqian took out an imperial decree in front of all civil and military officials and the people of Chang'an.

The imperial decree is no longer the bright yellow of the past, but a white background with black decoration.

Seeing this imperial decree, Empress Changsun also knelt down.

Seeing what Empress Changsun did, Leng Feng also had to kneel down.

If there is no accident, this imperial decree should belong to Li Shimin, and it is something like a suicide note.Otherwise, with the respect of the empress dowager of the Changsun family, there is no need to bow down at all.

Opening the imperial edict, Li Chengqian said: "This imperial edict was written by the emperor himself, and everyone must obey it and not violate it."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian said: "The emperor's edict of the Tang Dynasty said: I only heard that life and death are yin and yang, and they are completely different. Ghosts and ghosts can't be used when buried with yang. I think it's stupid to use the money of the living to show the wealth of the dead. What I wrote today This decree is given to the emperor who inherits Qian, and I will show it to everyone. I will not be buried with gold and jade; I will not be martyred in my mausoleum; Chin."

After listening to the content of the imperial decree, even though it was a day of national mourning, Leng Feng still raised the corners of his mouth.

When Li Shimin tried his best to bury him in his mausoleum, Leng Feng once told him that no matter how many things are buried with a person after death, they will not be able to be used in the underworld. ,

It was because of Leng Feng's persuasion that Li Shimin stopped for a while, and just got himself a terracotta warriors-like funeral group.It seems like a huge project, but in fact it is not very wasteful.Compared with his single-minded desire to get a golden coffin for himself, Ye Mingzhu to decorate the tomb, and other ideas, it is nothing short of a big deal.

Although it was expected, Leng Feng was quite moved when he really heard Li Shimin's will.With Li Shimin's narcissistic nature, it can be said that it is extremely rare to be able to abandon the luxurious funeral objects and abolish the grand ceremony.
