No one knows about the changes in Chang'an City. And all the courtiers received the news that day.
The wise empress of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Changsun, passed away.
The first time this news came out, everyone was shocked.
As Li Shimin's virtuous wife, Queen Changsun would never interfere in government affairs.
Although there is not much sense of existence, such a queen is also kind. During the holidays, the women's families of officials will visit the queen, and they will receive some rewards from the queen.
Even though Empress Changsun was very simple, the rewards she gave had nothing to do with her simplicity. Instead, she was very royal and majestic, and even greeted them with greetings, which became a beautiful thing that she did for many days.
When Queen Changsun passed away, as soon as the news spread, many people in Chang'an City who had been favored by Queen Changsun spontaneously paid tribute to Queen Changsun, and Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Queen Changsun's coffin with annoyance in his eyes.
"What's going on with you? Why aren't you with me?"
Although Li Shimin was very resentful that the queen did not accompany him, things had reached such a point that Li Shimin had no way to say anything and could only complain.
"what is going on?"
The Queen was thinking deeply that Queen Changsun, who had accompanied her through the wind and rain and had already lived a good life, would leave before him.
But just after Queen Changsun's coffin was fixed, a eunuch suddenly came to Li Shimin quietly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, would you like to be buried with Empress Changsun?"
"Is this appropriate?"
Li Shimin looked at the eunuch, and the eunuch started talking.
"As long as two coffins are carried, no one knows which one is Empress Changsun. She is buried in the two imperial mausoleums. No one dares to say anything. Throughout the ages, theft has been prevented. During funerals, there are endless incidents of multiple coffins. Just like Both Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang have many coffins."
Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at the most central eunuch who served beside him, and was also the eunuch who had been with him the longest. After he was placed next to Li Yuan to serve Li Yuan, he was also very loyal, and Li Yuan would report to him from time to time. news. XiuShu.com
Li Shimin looked at him with gratitude in his heart.
"You are right. Just do what you said. You will make the arrangements yourself. I am not suitable for going out. Then I will let Qian'er take charge of the overall situation when he comes back. He will go to the tomb area to worship. This is a matter of course, not only to commemorate his mother, but also to commemorate his grandpa. Who would say inappropriate words?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh that these things were done beautifully, and in the imperial city, some guards looked at each other and saw the determination in their eyes.
They are now waiting for orders, waiting for their master to give an order to arrest all those who participated in the sacrifice. Control the Tang Dynasty.
However, as they kept looking at all the officials present, they suddenly discovered that there was a strange vacant position among the kings and nobles.
At such a critical moment, there was actually a prince who was not present, which made them a little curious.
There was no need for a prince outside to ruin their important affairs. Then these officials and guards communicated carefully to see who was missing.
The identity of the person who didn't come was quickly determined, King Anbei.
King Anbei is indeed alive, which is a hidden danger.
And just as everyone was thinking about the hidden dangers that King Anbei would bring to them, the king of Anbei who didn't know that his throne was genuine should be kept instead of being suddenly taken over by Li Ying, who became the Duke of Zhen. idea.
Li Ying is the most popular general in the Tang Dynasty. Although he is not a general, he is more comfortable than a general.
As the general of the current dynasty, Li Shentong could only command one Anxi Protectorate, and now he has gone to the Western Region Protectorate. However, Xu Yunyan can command two Protectorate's Mansion as the Duke of Zhenguo. How can this be said? The sum of the two generals, although they recruited a lot, part of them
They are not descendants of the Han family, but what does it matter?
Now there is no Turkic country on the grassland, only the Han family and the Tang army.
In a few years, no one will say that the Turks are good, but will only be proud that they are Tang people. Then won't the soldiers recruited now be Tang soldiers in the future?
Just when Xu Yunyan was thinking like this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Preventing yourself from returning to Chang'an City without orders has several meanings.
His relatives are all in Chang'an City. If he is not allowed to go back to Chang'an City, then he will take them here.
With this idea in mind, Xu Yunyan directly talked to Xue Li.
"You want to join me here to form two protective palaces in Anxi and Anbei. If I can't go back without an order, I'll have to trouble you to arrange for someone to bring my relatives here.
We are now in Prince Anbei's Mansion in Chang'an City. No, it should be changed to the Prince's Mansion of Zhenguo now. There should be a wife of mine waiting for me there. Go and ask her. If she comes, escort her. How nice is it to come? "
After Xu Yunyan spoke, Xue Li nodded hurriedly.
"Don't worry. Now that everything has been asked, I will arrange for Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong to run a long distance on the grassland and return to Chang'an City. By the way, they will see where their relatives are and escort them. Your daughter-in-law comes back, and by then, the two Protectorate Houses may have been established, and it’s time for us to return, how about that?”
"very good."
Xu Yunyan nodded and just touched his chin, feeling that something was wrong.
After Xu Yunyan said this, Xue Li was very curious.
"Is there something wrong? There is the Extreme Northern Protectorate in the north, the Western Region Protectorate in the west, and the Anxi and Anbei Protectorates in the middle. Moreover, the Ottomans outside have been completely turned into counties by the Tang Dynasty."
"It would be great if the Turkic grasslands could be turned into counties. Although it is not suitable to be transformed into counties, it is still possible to enfeoff the kings. Why do you let me, the Duke of Zhenguo, rule over such a large grassland? Is your majesty so big-hearted? Or do you think so? I will definitely be able to do this properly."
Xu Yunyan groped his chin there, wondering where he got the right to be the Duke of Zhenguo, and how he could lead so many soldiers and horses. Now that the world is at peace, he doesn't need so many soldiers and horses.
Even if there are special circumstances, Datang's original team is enough.
Xu Yunyan expressed his worries, but Xue Li looked at him and said with a smile.
"What's there to worry about? Can you please work harder if you can? After all, no one can replace your reputation on the grassland."
When Xue Li said this, Xu Yunyan suddenly realized.
"What you said makes sense."
But Xu Yunyan has always been puzzled.
"Why is this the case?"
Xue Li was also puzzled. No one could explain to him what was going on? Li Chengqian, who was in the southwest, had just joined Hou Junji and Li Zhong to pacify the southwest and sent troops to conquer the enemy country. Suddenly, an envoy arrived to see Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the urgent messenger rushing over day and night with red eyes.
"What's going on? Why do you look like this?"
The messenger hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has ordered that you and General Hou return to Chang'an City immediately to take charge of Chang'an."
"What's going on? What happened?"
"I don't know, but it seems that your mother, the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, has passed away."
This person was arranged by Changsun Wuji. At that time, he only told him to come to Li Chengqian urgently and let him and Hou Junji go back and take charge.
He didn't hear the other things clearly, but only got a general idea. After he and Li Chengqian told the news about the death of Queen Changsun, Li Chengqian staggered and almost fell down.
"What's going on? My mother has always been in good health, how could something happen to her?"
However, after Li Chengqian was supported by Qin Huaiyu next to him, he hurriedly pulled him, "Come back to Chang'an City with me right now."
But this time, the person who came to deliver the message continued.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty still has orders."
At this time, Li Chengqian ignored him and said, "What's the order? I'll wait until I get back to Chang'an."
The messenger was a little embarrassed, but he kept talking.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty wants General Hou to escort you back to Chang'an City. The Xiangrui Army will be merged into Tiance Guard, and the officers of Tian Ce Guard here will integrate the Xiangrui Army."
"When did this happen? How can there be such an opportunity? The general of the Xiangrui Army has also sent his troops to conquer the enemy country, and there is no chance to station here. I will go back to Chang'an City first, and we will talk about the rest later."
When Li Chengqian walked out, Qin Huaiyu said something. .Ь.
"Your Highness, why don't you spread the news to Yuchi Baolin?
How about asking Yuchi Baolin to support His Royal Highness? "
"That's too late."
Li Chengqian shook his head. Although he knew where Yuchi Baolin was, before he could use Yuchi Baolin, Li Chengqian said this and looked at Qin Huaiyu.
"But you still need to arrange to talk to my father-in-law and ask him to arrange some of his men and the Xiangrui Army to suspend the attack! Completely occupy the place we occupied and reorganize the Xiangrui Army. The others will return to Chang'an as soon as possible."
"You have the order! Your Highness the Crown Prince."
After Qin Huaiyu agreed, Qin Huaiyu felt himself being pulled forward quickly. When he looked up, he saw that it was His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Although Qin Huaiyu wanted to say that he was a little too anxious, the words did not come out, and Li Chengqian did not pay attention to them. Instead, he looked at Qin Huaiyu and said.
"Now I can only rely on you. You will escort me back."
But as soon as the two of them left the camp, they saw the Mi family sisters waiting outside. I wonder what happened?
Li Chengqian watched them casually hand over their hands, "There is something going on in the capital, and I have to return to Chang'an. General Hou will be here to uphold justice for you. If you have any questions, please contact General Hou. Although General Hou will be returning soon, there is still some time." "
But after Li Chengqian said these words, the Mi sisters looked at Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, are you going back? We haven't thanked you properly, let alone prepared some of our local characteristics for you. This is a bit too sorry for Your Highness."
Mido said this, and Li Chengqian in the distance had already left quickly, while Mi Li watched from the side.
"Sister, how about we catch up and deliver supplies to them?"
"That's all."
Mido nodded after his sister's suggestion.
This is also a good idea, why not do it?
Then just follow what your sister said and hurry up to catch up with His Highness the Crown Prince. They always need to rest. They can't return to Chang'an without sleep. Even an iron man can't endure it.
