Chapter 2692 Two messengers who passed by
At the foot of Xiashi Mountain, tens of thousands of Guanzhong elites were stationed on the ground. Under the bright moonlight, there was a roar of people.
At this moment, Li Shimin was in the big tent, laughing and chatting angrily with the soldiers who came from Guanzhong to help.
Both Chai Shao and the Guanzhong Prefecture soldiers and generals seemed extremely excited at this moment.
When General Chai was ordered to move to Tongguan, he used His Majesty's imperial edict.
But the problem is that all kinds of gossip and rumors coming from Luoyang make everyone feel uneasy.
Although General Chai is strict in running the army and all officers and men strictly observe military discipline, the question is whether anything happened to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Such doubts have always shrouded the minds of tens of thousands of elites.
Fortunately, I followed General Chai to the Maojin Ferry, greeted the emperor respectfully, and saw the lively Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
At that moment, the three excited shouts of tens of thousands of elites in the Tang Dynasty were enough to change the color of the mountains and rivers.
The morale that had seemed a bit sluggish at first suddenly plummeted.
After resting for a day at Maojin Ferry, we finally arrived at the Xiashi area to camp. Further ahead, we reached Mianchi.
The straight-line distance between Mianchi and Luoyang is only 1670 miles. By then, the army will only be able to reach it in three or four days at most.
Although Li Shimin was actually very anxious at this moment, facing these elite generals in Guanzhong, he still had to maintain his composure as a heroic emperor who had spent his life in the military.
It wasn't until the moonlight gradually rose and all the civil and military personnel resigned from the tent that Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief.
Leaning loosely on the couch, I don't know if that boy Cheng Sanlang has taken care of the big things in Luoyang now.
Although it is very clear that the boy is very solid in his work, no news has come through, which always makes people feel like a big stone is hanging in their hearts, and they can't rest assured.
Is it possible that after those two boys destroyed the square and round mounds that offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, they were busy celebrating and forgot to send the good news?
It shouldn't be, after all, Zhao Kun's old and steady confidant, the head of the bodyguard, is squatting there, and when he has done important things, he will definitely give him a shout.
Just when Li Shimin was frowning and sighing, a fast horse, surrounded by several cavalry, galloped towards Li Shimin's tent.
After handing over the embroidered messenger from Luoyang to the imperial guards guarding outside the tent.
The few cavalrymen responsible for patrolling the outskirts of the camp turned their horses and continued to rush out of the camp, continuing to perform their duties.
#####
"Your Majesty, there is news from Luoyang..." This low call immediately made Li Shimin sit up.
Nodding and smiling at the dusty and haggard messenger, Li Shimin opened the handed letter.
The Ouchi guard on the side saw His Majesty opening the letter with an expectant look on his face, and suddenly his face gradually turned gloomy.
It was as if the clouds were about to turn sunny, but turned into a precursor to a thunderstorm, which made the Ouchi guard feel chilly.
Li Shimin finished reading the letter, with a gloomy face, and began to pace slowly in the tent.
Cheng Sanlang and the others really lived up to their expectations. They succeeded in accomplishing the task. They directly razed the square and round mounds that were used to worship heaven and earth to the ground. There was nothing that could not be repaired in twenty or thirty days.
But the problem is, Li Shimin never thought that those wealthy families who always liked to talk about rules and etiquette would actually make a shocking move.
It was decided not to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth for the time being, and the ceremony for the emperor's enthronement ceremony was immediately changed.
This made Li Shimin feel like he was going to be so damn angry, these despicable and shameless people from a wealthy family.
In the past, you didn't always chatter in front of me, have to follow the rules, abide by etiquette, this and that.
As a result, when they started to do things on their own, they realized that following the rules was not good for them, so they actually resorted to such saucy tactics.
So shameless! So despicable!
Although Li Shimin didn't roar out loud, he felt like a trapped animal was going crazy inside.
What should I do? Are they allowed to change the rules so arbitrarily, while I can only watch the biggest joke and scandal in the Tang Dynasty about to be born in my lifetime?
Li Shimin, who was extremely angry and upset, finally sat slumped behind the couch, breathing heavily, with a sharp look in his eyes.
It seemed that the imperial guard and the messenger in embroidered clothes were so frightened that they didn't even dare to take a breath.
Li Shimin's fingers began to tap lightly on the eucalyptus table. Perhaps, at this time, it was time for him to make a decision...
Liao Zong Temple? As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Li Shimin couldn't help but shook his head repeatedly, no, no, no, I'm so sorry for my ancestors.
The round and square mounds used to worship heaven and earth have been destroyed. Will heaven and earth be angry? I am now feeling guilty.
If this offends the ancestors of the Li family again, how can I face them in the future?
Hmm... I'm afraid that my biological father, who is still in charge of Jinyang, will be angry at his actions.
How about...if you don't do anything, you won't stop, and let Cheng Sanlang and the others find a way to burn the palace?
Although the price is a bit high, it is still better than the Liao Zong Temple. Moreover, I don’t believe that that scoundrel and those rebellious officials and traitors can still continue the enthronement ceremony.
Looking back, when I calm down this turmoil, haha... These are all the aristocratic families who participated in this turmoil.
I will definitely scrape off three feet of their land. No matter what, I can always scrape together enough money to rebuild the palace.
Anyway, this is the mess you caused, and it will naturally make you bankrupt.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin looked gloomily, picked up the brush, picked up a piece of paper, and began to write a few sentences on the paper.
Looking at the secret order on it, although I felt extremely distressed, there was nothing I could do about it.
The sealed edict was sealed with wax and marked before it was solemnly handed over to the embroidered messenger.
"Thank you for setting off overnight. You must deliver this letter to Cheng Sanlang as soon as possible."
How could the embroiderer dare to be careless? He respectfully took the secret order and hid it in his arms. Then he followed the imperial guard out of the tent and took the reins of the horse.
At this moment, a full-fledged mount was prepared for him. When he got back on his horse, he jumped on the horse, whipped his whip, and ran wildly in the direction of Luoyang.
Li Shimin stood outside the tent, watching the embroidered messenger leave without saying a word for a long time.
He was very troubled and unwilling to enter the tent, so he wandered outside the tent.
At this moment, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy was riding wildly on his horse when he saw a rider, also riding in the moonlit night, passing by him.
