The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 397

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun followed Li Chengqian to the Zongmen Pagoda.Then I saw Li Chengqian beating in an orderly manner on the organs in the Zongmen Pagoda.

Then the organs in the Zongmen Pagoda split open in front of the three of them, and a spacious gate appeared in front of Li Shimin.

I saw a huge stone tablet standing inside the gate, on which the word Zongmen was written in ancient seal characters.There is also the word Li Shi below.

"Father, queen, this is the entrance of the sect. Uncle Nine Emperors and the others are waiting inside the sect." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun with a smile.

Li Shimin concealed the shock in his heart, and nodded to Li Chengqian.And Li Chengqian led the way to the sect.

When the three of them stepped into the sect, the mechanism closed again.A spacious and slender corridor appeared in front of the three of them.

Li Chengqian pointed to the front and said to Li Shimin: "Father, Queen Mother, press the palm of your two veterans on this. Then you can pass safely."

Then Li Chengqian set an example, first pressing his palm on the organ.Then Li Shimin and Empress Changsun imitated the button.

Then he followed Li Chengqian and continued to walk forward, only to see many murals carved on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor.These murals fully interpret the history of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction as they walked.My heart was naturally filled with countless shocks.In this way, after a full cup of tea, the end of the corridor appeared in front of the three of them.

At the same time, I also heard the sound of running water ahead. It turned out that the exit of the Zongmen corridor was behind a waterfall.

"Are you going to let the queen mother and your father follow you through this waterfall, wouldn't you be drowned?" Empress Changsun pointed to the waterfall at the entrance and asked Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian smiled and pressed on the stone wall, and the waterfall water suddenly parted to both sides.A water gate big enough for one person to enter appeared in front of the three of them.

"Isn't the queen mother afraid of being drenched in water now?" After finishing speaking, she took the lead to walk outside the waterfall.

I saw stones protruding from the water outside the waterfall, just enough for people to step on.In this way, the three of them directly crossed the pool.

When the three of them left the pond, they saw many people standing in front of them.Even Yuan Tiangang and Wang Ao Patriarch were there.

And directly saluted Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.It's just that it's not the emperor and empress, but Zonghuang and Zonghou.

As for Li Tai and others, they were all present, but Li Shimin's brother was only the ninth brother, Li Yuanfang.None of the other brothers were present.

What Li Shimin didn't expect was that the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan was also there.Li Shimin hurried forward to salute.

"There is no need to be so polite. Although I am the founder of the sect in this sect, I am just like the Supreme Emperor. It is just a title." Li Yuan said after helping Li Shimin and Empress Changsun up.

At this moment, Li Chengqian took two steps forward and said, "Grandpa Huang, the grandson is the biggest in this sect. You and Emperor Father are both in name."

"Yes, you are the biggest here. Shouldn't you hurry up and organize the opening ceremony? You can't let everyone stay with you until dawn, can you?" Empress Changsun said after shaking her head helplessly.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded with a smile, and led the way to lead the crowd to the main hall of the sect.

The main hall of this sect is not visible at all by the pond, there is only a winding and rugged path connecting it with the main hall of the sect.

It was almost time for a cup of tea before the Zongmen Hall emerged from the mist.Although the building is not as majestic as the Lishan Palace, it gives people a sacred feeling.

Everyone came to the main hall of the main hall of the sect, and saw the word inheritance written in ancient seal characters in the main hall.There is also a huge incense burner and an incense table in front.

There are several chairs in front of the incense table, one in the middle and two on the left and two on the left.And one of the chairs on the left turned out to be a wooden portrait.

This wood carving is none other than Li Yuan's first wife, Empress Dou.The carving was so lifelike that Li Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Grandpa Huang, you can sit with Grandma Huang here." Li Chengqian said to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan nodded, and while stroking the statue, he sat on the chair next to him.But his eyes never left the statue of his wife.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun naturally sat in their seats.But the chair in the middle was reserved for Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was more careful in his work, he purposely put the chair in the middle forward.There is a certain distance from the four chairs behind.

In this way, when Li Chengqian sat on it, he would not be said to be superior to Li Shimin.Even so, Li Chengqian bowed to Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his wife.

Then he sat down, waved his hands to everyone in the main hall and said, "Everyone, please take your seats too. This is not the Tai Chi Hall, and there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers."

After everyone was seated according to rank, Li Chengqian said: "Today the sect is officially established, and everyone will officially take office today."

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Patriarch Wang Ao, Yuan Tiangang and others stood up one after another.Ancestor Wang Ao said: "From now on, I and the others are the masters of the sect, responsible for teaching the disciples of the inner and outer middle schools to practice martial arts. We will never violate the orders of the master."

Afterwards, several people saluted Li Chengqian in a proper manner, which was regarded as paying homage to the suzerain of the sect.Then I met Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his wife.

After letting the six people sit down, Li Chengqian took out six tokens directly.They were handed over to Patriarch Wang Ao, Patriarch Wang Chan, Our Lady of Golden Knife, Our Lady of Lishan Mountain, Our Lady of Yellow Flower and Yuan Tiangang.

Then he opened his mouth again and said, "At the same time, today is also the time for inner sect disciples to join the sect. Now I invite Li Yuanfang and Li Yun."

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Yuanfang and Li Yun stood up and followed Li Chengqian's instructions.Came before the incense table behind Li Chengqian.

At the same time, he took three sticks of incense from Li Shimin's hands, lit them, inserted them into the incense burner, and kowtowed three times in a proper manner.And made a poisonous oath of eternal allegiance to the sect.

After Li Yuan helped Li Yuanfang and Li Yun up, he taught them a few words symbolically.In the end, it was Li Chengqian who directly handed over the tokens of the two Inner Sect disciples to Li Yuanfang and Li Yun.

It's a pity that until now, the inner sect of such a huge sect has only two disciples of the inner sect.As for Patriarch Wang Ao and others, Li Chengqian did not treat them as disciples of the inner sect.

At this time, Li Zi and Li Shen were sitting beside them.A very powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.
