The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 539 The Cemetery
Jin Yang raised his head to look at Xuan Shijing, and saw Xuan Shijing looking at him with a smile, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay." Responding crisply, Jin Yang happily walked to the side of the three healthy horses, picked one that seemed to be the tallest among the three horses, grasped the reins skillfully, and turned on the horse.

Xuan Shijing and Li Tai looked at each other, smiled helplessly, then walked to their respective horses and got on their horses.

The Xianling Mausoleum is located in Tumen County outside Chang'an City, which belongs to the Jingzhao Mansion. During the reign of Wude, a road was set up as Fuping Road, which was under the jurisdiction of Huqi Qiqiqi. Soon after, Fuping Road was changed to Xuanwu Army. It is very appropriate to choose the location here.

Dongshan County is not close to Fuping Road, and it takes half an hour to ride a horse. After Fuping Road was changed to Xuanwu Army, it became an important military town. After Li Yuan was buried, the Xuanwu Army stationed here also moved to other places. There are only a few of them, and they can be regarded as helping to guard Li Yuan's mausoleum.

The cemetery of the Xianling Mausoleum is very spectacular, but compared with the mausoleums of some emperors in the previous dynasties, it is still a bit more simple. This is also related to the conditions when the Xianling Mausoleum was built. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was not rich at all. During the years, His Majesty Li Er was severely looted by the Turks. After a few years of recovery, he went to the northern grasslands to take revenge. Where there is money to build a mausoleum, and because of this, Li Yuan In the Xianling Mausoleum built during the reign, most of the stone carvings maintained the characteristics of the previous dynasty. The craftsmanship is rough and simple, the appearance is fierce, and the volume is also large, but it is simple and simple, strong and unrestrained, resolute and steady, and imposing. The Xianling Mausoleum faces south and is divided into inner and outer cities. The scale is very large. There are a pair of stone tigers at each of the four gates of the inner city. These are what Xuan Shijing saw in the Xianling on the day of Li Yuan's funeral, because Li Yuan was buried that day. The ceremony was very complicated, and Xuan Shijing was not interested in being so respectful and pious to a person who wanted to kill himself in the early years, so Xuan Shijing, who was standing among the ministers and dignitaries, couldn't help but look around Perhaps the Xianling Mausoleum at this time is not as grand and exquisite as it has been built and supplemented back and forth in the future, so in the Xianling Mausoleum, as long as you walk around at will, you can see everything except the temple.

Xuan Shijing accompanied Jinyang to Xianling, entered through the gate of the cemetery, and went directly to the temple. Li Yuanjing was guarding the tomb at Xianling, and there were people guarding it. Burning incense and praying for blessings in the temple of Xianling, or copying scriptures, so it is not difficult to find someone.

Some of the soldiers stationed at Xianling are soldiers from the Xuanwu Army, because Xianling is not far from the original Xuanwu Army station. Although most of the Xuanwu Army has withdrawn from Fuping Road, there are still military camps stationed here. The Second Majesty just wanted the Xuanwu Army to patrol the Xianling Mausoleum in turn.

In fact, I also wanted to guard Li Yuanjing by the way, and the mastermind who planned the rebellion was able to survive safely in Chang'an City. Up to now, there is only Li Yuanjing alone. Regarding this, His Majesty Li Er is probably very uncomfortable in his heart, so For Li Yuanjing, of course, he also cares a little bit from time to time.

The three of them led the horses and walked in the cemetery. When they arrived in front of the temple where the mausoleum was offered, Xuan Shijing called the eunuch who was cleaning the cemetery. After giving some instructions, the eunuch found a companion and took the horses of the three of them away. up.

Horses were not allowed to be tied in front of the temple in the cemetery. After the horses were pulled down, Xuan Shijing looked at Li Tai and Jinyang who were standing aside.

The gate of the temple is open. Standing on the open space in front of the temple, the scenery inside the temple can be seen at a glance. Incense is burning in the temple, and green smoke is curling up. A white figure is kneeling in the hall. On the table, on the low table, are placed the Four Treasures of the Study.

That white figure was naturally Li Yuanjing who was guarding the mausoleum in the offering mausoleum. At this time, Li Yuanjing was kneeling and sitting at the low table copying the scriptures, not paying any attention to the movement outside and turning a blind eye.

"Six Emperor Uncles" Jin Yang saw Li Yuanjing in the room, then left Xuan Shijing and Li Tai behind and walked into the room.

Xuan Shijing looked at Li Tai, Li Tai shook his head.

The two stood in the open space outside, quietly waiting for Jinyang.

Jin Yang went straight into the room, and Li Yuanjing raised his head when he heard someone coming in.

It was just over a month later, and Li Yuanjing had grown up prematurely. He looked a lot older, his expression was haggard, and his eyes were dull. After seeing that the person who came in was Jin Yang, there was a flash of light in his eyes that could be called For the emotional body.

"Si, why did you come here?" Li Yuanjing put down the brush in his hand and raised his head to look at Jinyang and asked.

"Sizi is here to visit Uncle Six." Jin Yang held back the tears that were about to flow from his eyes, and came to the temple. What he saw was not only Li Yuanjing, but also the rank of Li Yuan who had passed away. A person who used to be a real person, a kind grandfather who can be seen every day, now, in a blink of an eye, there is a separation between yin and yang. It was more than a month after he learned of the sadness after Li Yuan's death, and he touched the scene and aroused Jin Yang again. The sadness in my heart.

Hearing this, Li Yuanjing sighed slightly: "At this moment, I never thought that the one who can remember me, Li Yuanjing, would be the little one."

"Six Emperor Uncle" Jin Yang walked across to Li Yuanjing, knelt down and sat down: "Six Emperor Uncle, you can pay back your life."

"Fortunately, in this dedicated mausoleum, it's rare to be clean. The six emperor uncles rebelled, but they didn't lose their lives or be sent off. This is already the greatest kindness, so there is nothing wrong with it." Li Yuanjing said There was a smile on his face, he looked at Jinyang, and said in a tone of emotion: "It's been a long time since I came to Xianling, and the only one who can talk is you, Sizi."

Indeed, although Li Yuanjing rebelled, he is still a prince and a member of the royal family. The people who do the cleaning work in the cemetery are all eunuchs and maids of the Daan Palace. After all, there are still differences in their identities. Who would dare to have too much contact with Li Yuanjing who was "assigned" to this mausoleum?So today, the only one Li Yuanjing can talk about is Jin Yang who came to visit him.

"These days in Xianling, this king has also thought about some things clearly, but more, it is a debt to the father." Li Yuanjing laughed at himself: "I don't think there is anything wrong with coveting that seat, but, this king The king is indeed not as strong as your father, this king recognizes this, a dream of prosperity is just empty, this king has lost too much for this purpose."
