Things finally got on track, and everyone began to think of ways to wipe the butt of the superiors.
This was basically what Li Po expected. Except for Wen Yanbo, no one here had the courage to defend himself in court and argue with him.
And Wen Yanbo, who was held back by these people, had no chance to quarrel with His Highness the King of Han. Moreover, after entering a new environment, Wen Yanbo had to adapt for some time, and his confidence was not as strong as when he was in Jinyang.
Woolen cloth.
After a lot of discussion, the matter was basically settled. Since such an accident occurred, the timing of the announcement was very important and required a lot of preparation.
After the country name was decided, it became the era name. Li Po was "stubborn" once, so he made concessions on the era name, let them discuss it, and then presented it to him for his decision. This is the normal process.
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. His Highness the King of Han was actually very good when he reasoned. What frightened them was that if His Highness the King of Han wanted to use martial virtue as his reign name, it would be very lively.
After this discussion, it means that the process of proclaiming the emperor has entered. Chang'an City will usher in a grand sacrificial event to announce to the world that another emperor has been born.
This process will be very cumbersome. In addition to the preparations for the ceremony, the new dynasty must have a new atmosphere. Where is this reflected?
The first is the clothing, which must be different from before. For example, if Li Po said that he had acquired Tu De, then the clothing, especially the clothing of officials, would be mainly khaki.
How to make flowers appear out of khaki color is He Chou's business.
Clothing is only one aspect. Engraving various official seals, tiger talismans and the emperor's seal are also very important things, especially the emperor's seal. Some of them were handed down from the Han Dynasty. If they are lost?
The legitimacy will be questioned.
Li Po was like this. Yang Guang ran to Jiangdu and hanged himself. All the emperor's seals he brought with him were taken away by Yu Wenhua and the prodigal son.
When he ran to Hebei? The border of Shandong? By the way, he got an advantage from Dou Jiande.
So it's best to snatch it back from Dou Jiande. Otherwise, carving new ones can fool you. Since ancient times, there has always been a legend that the royal family lost the imperial seal. It is probably not groundless.
There are so many things going on in all aspects. Fortunately, this is a one-time event. Otherwise, people would have to take off a layer of clothing each time? How many years would it take to live less?
At this time, Li Po had convinced his ministers. Before he could take a breath, Wang Ze gave him bad news. In fact, when Wang Ze entered the palace this time, he wanted to report this to Li Po by the way, but he was hit in the face.
I almost forgot about it after thinking about it.
Yin Kaishan, the former Minister of War, passed away.
This is indeed bad news for the new regime. His death was untimely.
Yin Kaishan was born in the Yin family of Chen County. He was an old minister in the Southern Dynasty. His grandfather Yin Buhao was an official in the Chen Dynasty. His father Yin Sengshou was the minister of agriculture in the Chen Dynasty. After entering the Sui Dynasty, he served as Secretary Cheng. He was very famous in the Kansai literary world at that time.
.
There have been some changes when we arrived at Yin Kaishan. It was originally a scholarly family? Yin Kaishan has been associated with Bingge for many years. He is one of the heroes of the Yuanmou in Taiyuan. For Li Yuan, he has contributed to the founding of the country. He was the Minister of the Ministry of War.
One of Li Yuan's most trusted and important officials.
Yin Kaishan was seriously injured when he was conquering Shuzhong. After returning to Chang'an, the injury kept recurring. Until today, his life has finally come to an end.
Of course, Li Po was also responsible for this. The Jin army crossed the river to attack, and Yin Kaishan, who was the Minister of the Ministry of War, worked so hard that his body collapsed quickly. In fact, he was almost dead from exhaustion.
The Yin family in Chen County is actually nothing, but Yin Kaishan is one of the many high-ranking officials in Chang'an City, so his death will definitely have some impact.
But it's hard to tell how big the impact will be.
Yin Kaishan's foundation was not deep, his family's power was not great, and his fame and prestige were only mediocre. There were so many heroes in Yuanmou, but Yin Kaishan was able to be promoted to Minister of War. In fact, it was mostly a coincidence.
He was promoted rapidly in his early years of martial arts. In addition to his own good ability, I am afraid that he was neither a member of the prince's party nor had the relationship to become a disciple of the King of Qin.
Therefore, Li Po didn't care much. He just listened to other people's opinions and asked Wang Ze to send some condolences from the new owner to Yin Kaishan's family members in accordance with the procedures. There was no need to give too much face.
Even if he was invited to buy people's hearts, he couldn't buy Yin Kaishan here. He had no merit in dedicating the city, and he was not of the Guanxi ethnic group. He was destined to be just a passerby in Chang'an City.
Another guest of Lingyan Pavilion withered away, and at this time, the person who built Lingyan Pavilion also came to the end of his life...

The Qinling Mountains are like a giant dragon, spanning the east and west and isolating the north and the south.
Among the vast mountains, smoke-like mist drifts away in the mountains. The remaining rays of the sun fall on the mist, reflecting a dreamlike brilliance. The birds are chirping and singing, trying to retain this last moment.
bright.
The mountains are quiet and deep.
Li Shimin leaned under an old tree and coughed feebly from time to time.
His body was so dirty that no color could be seen. There were stains on his face and hands. His hair was disheveled and tangled, exuding an unpleasant smell.
The eyes that were once dim and full of energy have long since dimmed. Who would have thought that General Tiance, the King of Qin who once had the world in his heart and was full of ambitions, would end up in such a state.
His breathing was rapid, and his coughing was no longer as loud as it was a few days ago, but everyone could tell that he was already on his deathbed and there was no longer any possibility of recovery.
There were only three people left beside him, Zhai Changsun and two guards of the Qin Palace. They looked at the dying king quietly without showing much sadness.
Even they themselves don't know how long they have been walking in this forest. There is no doubt that they are lost. There are always countless trees in front of them. Looking from the trees, they can never see the end of the mountains.
.
Dozens of people entered the mountain, some died, and some got separated. In the end, only three people were left with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was undoubtedly a mentally tough man, and there was no need to doubt his desire to survive, but in the end he still succumbed to the disease.
The old illness he had suffered when he led his army to raid Longmen broke out when his body and spirit were at a low ebb. Coughing, high fever, coupled with fatigue, hunger, and endless regret, soon his body collapsed.
Completely collapsed.
He tried hard to raise his head. There was still some light in the sky. He sighed unwillingly. He wanted to sit more comfortably, but he no longer had the strength.
Zhai Changsun saw what he meant and immediately stepped forward to gently support his body and let him lean upright against the tree, as if to keep the dying king's last bit of dignity.
Li Shimin laughed with difficulty, as if a trace of vitality suddenly appeared in his body. Looking back, such thoughts flashed through Li Shimin's dizzy mind.
He had too many things to say, and too many things that had not yet been accomplished, but in the end he just said clearly, "Take my head and go and receive the reward."
With a pop, Zhai Changsun fell to his knees and banged his head on the ground. King Qin was so kind to him that Zhai Changsun remembered it...
When he raised his head again, Li Shimin's eyes were half-opened, his head was slightly lowered, and there was no movement.
There were sounds of footsteps behind Zhai Changsun, and two guards had already approached. They were not at all sad, and there was a strange light shining in their eyes.
Like a wild beast walking in the mountains.
Zhai Changsun stood up, came to Li Shimin, and gently checked his breathing, and finally confirmed that King Qin was dead.
He pulled out his waist knife. The knife was different from a human being. It was a fine ring-headed knife. The light of the knife was still clear. Zhai Changsun turned around, raised the knife and dropped it. A guard fell down wailing.
The other one was frightened, but did not show any weakness. He drew out his sword to fight against him. The weapons clashed twice, and Zhai Changsun cut off the man's wrist with one sword, and then finished the opponent with another.
After killing two people in a row, Zhai Changsun panted violently for a while before regaining some energy. He stepped forward to pick up Li Shimin's body, and walked with difficulty into the depths of the forest...
Since then, Li Yuan and several of his legitimate sons have died, but there is no trace of Li Shimin. Several years after Li Po, he sent people out to search for Li Er's whereabouts, but where could they find them?
Once people like Wang Shichong and Li Shimin disappeared, they left a lot of room for imagination for future generations, and many bizarre stories were derived.
…………………………………………
At the end of July, the weather is still very hot.
Xu Shiji, the second leader from the left of the Han Palace, rode on a horse and finally arrived at the foot of Chang'an City. Behind him was a long queue.
Xu Shiji escorted Tongguan to surrender. At the same time, he also came to participate in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony on behalf of Bu Qun, Xue Wanche, Liu Jingsheng, Zhang Liang and others, and offered prisoners to enhance his prestige.
Before entering the city, there were already many people waiting on both sides of the road. Some even came to Huayin and Tongguan. Needless to say, people like Li Gang, Wang Gui, Wei Ting, etc. cannot be said to be simple people. Their
Family, friends, and subordinates care about their safety even more than themselves.
As a result, Xu Shiji's queue became longer and longer, which made him very helpless. The only benefit might be that there were more food and drinks to enjoy along the way, but it was a pity that alcohol was not allowed in the army.
"General Xu, that's Yanxing Gate. Someone should be there to greet the general."
Wei Yue, who was walking side by side with Xu Shiji, said with a smile that he was Wei Ting's uncle. He was an idler with no official position. He taught literacy to children in the clan and was a master among the Wei clan.
His status was not valuable enough to make friends with Xu Shiji, but his surname was Wei after all, and he could give him some advice on the customs and customs of Kansai, so he stayed with Xu Shiji.
