Ji Tang

Chapter 1507 The Emperor collapsed!

Ji Song did not go home. Not only him, but everyone else did not go back. Instead, they waited silently outside the hall.

squeak~
Chen Shou carefully opened the palace door, came to the crowd, and whispered: "Everyone, His Majesty wants you all to go back."

But no one paid any attention, not even raising their eyelids.

"Go back and tell His Majesty that we have all left."

Cheng Yaojin rarely looked serious, and said: "As your majesty's generals, we should pave the way for your majesty. With us here, all the gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters in the sky should retreat."

"Not bad!"

Yuchi Gong opened his eyes, looked around the hall, and said, "We will clear the way for your majesty!"

Ji Song, Gao Kan and other warriors all bowed and said, "We will clear the way for your majesty!"

Li Shimin seemed extremely peaceful in the company of his eldest grandson. When he heard the shouts outside, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Good, good. With the invincible commander and generals of the Tang Dynasty leading the way, even the King of Hell would have to greet me respectfully."

"Your Majesty." Changsun said with some anger.

"Okay, okay, no more talking, no more talking!"

At this time, he recalled his life. He lived a life of luxury when he was young, but he lived under the terror of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and was in constant fear. He led troops to the battlefield at the age of seventeen, and led the Tang cavalry to conquer the world when he was in his twenties.

He killed his own brother, imprisoned his elder brother and father, and finally ascended the throne.

Since he ascended the throne, the Turks have moved south, locust plagues and floods have occurred. The Shandong aristocratic families are undercurrents, and the slightest carelessness could lead to disaster.

He destroyed the Turks, conquered the steppes in the north, conquered Goguryeo in the east, and resisted the Arabs in the west, expanding the territory by thousands of miles. He was as good as anyone in the Zhenguan Reign and the Zhenguan Canon.

Cluck~ Cluck~
The world turned white as the rooster crowed. A loud crowing of the rooster pierced the darkness, and a hint of paleness slowly appeared on the horizon.

Li Shimin suddenly showed a sad expression, and tightly grasped his eldest grandson's hand, saying: "Guanyin, it's time for me to go."

Chang Sun's body trembled, and she suppressed the sadness in her heart, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please wait, I am here with you!"

"And those ministers outside are with you!"

Li Shimin smiled complacently, and pictures flashed through his mind. His life was so wonderful.
"I don't regret it" My hand lost all its strength and slowly slid down
bang~
"Your Majesty." Chang Sun cried heartbreakingly, and his voice lingered over the Palace of All Peoples.

puff~
Zhangsun Wuji, Xie Lian, Chu Suiliang, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Yuchi all prostrated themselves on the ground, saying in a painful voice: "Your Majesty~"

Chen Shou staggered to the front of the crowd and shouted loudly: "The emperor has passed away!"

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"."

Li Chengqian was sad, but he knew that he was the one who should not panic at this time. The emperor had a great influence on the Tang Dynasty throughout his life. After he left, there were countless people who secretly celebrated.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the affairs after the death of the Grand Emperor will be handled by the Shangshu Pushe, Duke Zhao, and all the ministers will assist him and there must be no mistakes!"

Zhang Sun Wuji said woodenly: "I obey your order!"
-
"Your Majesty has decreed that the Emperor has passed away. The whole nation shall be in mourning. All celebrations and weddings shall be suspended. All the subjects of the nation shall observe mourning for Your Majesty for three months."

"Your Majesty has decreed that the Emperor has passed away. The whole nation shall be in mourning. All celebrations and weddings shall be suspended. All the subjects of the nation shall observe mourning for Your Majesty for three months."

"Your Majesty has issued an order that the Supreme Emperor has passed away. The whole nation shall be in mourning. All celebrations and weddings shall be suspended. All the subjects of the nation shall observe mourning for Your Majesty for three months."

bang~
When the messenger rushed away, the people walking on the street were all stunned. When the bell rang, everyone came back to their senses.

"Your Majesty, have you left?"

The people couldn't believe it was true, especially some of the elderly. Having lived through turbulent times, they knew very well what the existence of the emperor meant.

If the emperor hadn't been compassionate to the people, how could they have the good life they have now?

"Impossible, impossible, how could the old emperor just pass away?" Some people couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it was true.

"No, I want to ask, this can't be true. He was fine during the Mid-Autumn Festival, how could he be gone in the blink of an eye?"

An old man staggered towards the Palace of All People, one, two, three. As the news spread, a crowd of people soon formed. If you look from the sky above Chang'an City, you will find that it is not just this street, but people from all directions are converging towards the Palace of All People.

The county magistrates of Chang'an and Wannian were the first to receive the news, and it was passed into the palace at the fastest speed.

"Nonsense, absolutely nonsense, someone come here." Changsun Wuji was furious when he heard this. Such things often happened at this time. If something went wrong, it would be a catastrophic disaster. No matter what, he could not get the people to gather.

"Wait!"

Ji Song walked out of the crowd, stared at Zhangsun Wuji and said, "What does Duke Zhao want to do? What crime have the people committed? They are just a group of people who love your majesty. Why do you have to make such a fuss?"

"You" Changsun Wuji pointed at Ji Song but was unable to refute.

"Pass the order, send soldiers to escort along the way, maintain order, and prevent the people from trampling on each other."

"Tell them that the emperor is gone, but the Tang Dynasty he left behind is still here, his majesty is still here, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty is still here."

Cheng Chusi, the General of the Imperial Guard, glanced at Changsun Wuji, who looked grim, and bowed, saying, "I will obey the order of the general!"

That's right, until now neither Li Shimin nor Li Chengqian has removed General Ji Song from his post, so after Ji Song gave the order, the palace guards did not hesitate at all.

"I hope there won't be any trouble, otherwise I will report you to His Majesty!" Changsun Wuji said angrily.

"Then there's no need to trouble Duke Zhao. If any trouble occurs, I will take full responsibility for it." Ji Song did not give in!
"Well, His Majesty has just left, and you are making a scene here?" Xie Lian glared at Ji Song fiercely, telling him to shut up, and said, "Leave everything to His Majesty's decision!"

Soon, news came from the palace: During the national mourning period, the defense of Chang'an will be fully entrusted to Ji Song, the Duke of Ying. If there is any mistake, severe punishment will be imposed!

"My lord, Ji Song, obey your order!"

Without even glancing at the jealous eyes, he waved his sleeves and shouted, "Order the sixteen guards to stay in their positions. Anyone who transfers more than ten people without the order of His Majesty and this officer will be killed without mercy!"

"Order the three squads of the imperial guards in the palace to be on duty. All food, clothing, shelter and transportation are to be provided by the army. Anyone who dares to leave the barracks before the ban is lifted will be killed!"

"A curfew is imposed in the city. Anyone who is still active in the city before dark will be exiled a thousand miles away."

"The East and West Markets are open as usual, but drinking and entertainment are prohibited, as well as all gatherings. Anyone who gathers more than five people will be exiled three thousand miles away!"

"Order all parts of the Tang Dynasty to suspend all foreign wars during the period of national mourning. If anyone tries to cause trouble during this period, they will be killed!"

"."

As Ji Song's orders came out one after another, the originally chaotic Chang'an City suddenly began to have order, and teams of soldiers escorted the people along the way. When the people learned that the emperor had really left, they just gathered in the square in front of the Wanmin Palace to see him off silently. When the envoys from various countries who were still staying in Chang'an saw this scene, they were all solemn!

What kind of country is this? They watched in fear as countless people remained silent. This frightened them more than anything else.
"Quick, send a message to the country, tell them not to provoke the Tang Dynasty in one year, no, three years. Otherwise, even if God comes, he can't save us."

The messengers stared blankly at everything in front of them, as if they were dreaming. Apart from fear, all that was left was shock.
