Datang Longya

Chapter 948 Zen Position
No matter how hysterical the carnival is, there will be an end.All were sent home the next day.But Longyawei was left in Qinling to continue hunting and threatening wild animals.

Simple scaring cannot solve the problem. Only by killing some can the stability of the people be guaranteed.

On May 24th of the [-]th year of Zhenguan, an auspicious day, a large number of people gathered in front of Zhuque Street, just because today the emperor wanted to take the Zen seat.

The older generation, leading their children and grandchildren, stood on the street and explained the achievements of this emperor to them.

The achievement in the eyes of the common people is very simple, that is, the emperor fed the common people enough to keep them from starving to death.

This feat is very simple, but it is also difficult.The children of the new generation may not know what cold and hunger is, but the older generation, who have experienced the era when people were inferior, especially know how rare it is to have such a prosperous age, and how rare it is to have such an emperor.

Inside the palace, there was a solemn and solemn scene.On the left side of the square, there are retired veterans from Zhenguan, and even those who are terminally ill also came to participate in wheelchairs.On the right side of the square are the officials who are currently serving in the court.

At the front of the large teams on both sides, Leng Feng and Yan Xiangshi stood alone on one left and one on the right, and between them was Prince Li Chengqian.

Bai Lin, the dean of the Academy of Arts, was honored to be selected as the ceremony official to preside over today's abdication ceremony.

When the first ray of sunlight hit the altar in the morning, Bai Lin stretched out his hands, picked up the incense stick as thick as an arm, and handed it to Li Shimin after lighting the charcoal fire on one side.

"The time has come, offer incense!"

Three giant incense sticks were inserted into the cauldron by Li Shimin.Today, it is not the heavens or the Houtu that are sacrificed, but Yao and Shun.

The cigarette smoke curled up, which also affected the lowered and solemn courtiers to look up.

"bye!"

Li Shimin walked to the incense table, bowed his hands and knelt down with the emperor, civil and military officials, and even those who were seriously ill knelt down with the help of their family members.

"Libi!"

After everyone got up, Bai Lin unfolded a long scroll, coughed lightly and began to read:

"It has been 30 years since Emperor Yang died. In the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, human lives were worthless and smoke was everywhere. Soldiers died in battle at the hands of their brothers, and widows and widows were left dead in the wilderness. It is so sad. Fortunately, the ancestors raised troops to pacify the Central Plains, and the world is unified. Here , I fight endlessly, for the peace of the war, although weary, I am willing.
It has been twenty and four years since Zhenguan. Although I have the heart to make every effort to govern and continue the prosperous age, I am so weak.The crown prince inherited Qian, and he learned a lot from Hu Guogong when he was young. He was respectful and humble, and he was a rare heir apparent.I have been ill for a long time, and I have been ignorant of the Dao, and it has been a long time since I learned from failure forever.Recalling the actions of the ancestor Gao, judging the supreme hope of heaven and man, abdicated him to another palace, returned to Zen in Chengqian, and followed the old things of Yao and Shun.Chin carry on. "

After reading, Bai Lin went to the bottom of the steps, and said: "Since Yao and Shun, there have been many people who have been Zen, but there has never been one like Your Majesty. I am terrified, and I want to represent the people of the world. I thank Your Majesty for your move."

The civil and military officials under his rank also bowed down again.Those who followed and bowed down were the guards, maids, and eunuchs around.This trend of kneeling started from the altar, spread to the entire palace, and even passed through the palace wall, affecting the people outside the palace and all kinds of people in Chang'an.

Whether it was the workers who were working or the merchants negotiating the payment, they all followed and knelt down in the direction of the palace.

They all know that after today, the emperor who led them into the prosperous age will abdicate. Although they are reluctant to give up, as commoners, they can only accept it.

A corner of Chang'an is the last courtyard of the five surnames.With the fall of their status, their living location has been moved from Taipingfang to the corner of Chang'an.

When the tide spread, the people of the five surnames also bowed to the ground under the leadership of the old patriarch.

Although the emperor single-handedly ended the prestige and status of their five surnames, as literati, they were still literati who studied ancient Chinese, and they had to admire what the emperor had done.

Zen position, a long-standing word stained by aggrieved resentment, finally regained its original meaning on this day.

Li Shimin at the top of the altar smiled, looking at the burning incense in the cauldron, he chuckled, grinned, until he laughed wildly.

"Although I am not the ancestor of the Li family, I have to set the rules. The act of the Zen position must not end on my own. The future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who feels unwell, must not be greedy for the throne. It is advisable to abdicate the new emperor as soon as possible. Violators , Abandoned by gods and ghosts!"

Bai Lin was excited and once again led the crowd to bow down.

The abdication of a generation of emperors is of no use.Only by making abdication a permanent rule can many disputes be eliminated invisible.

Taking off the dragon robe and crown, revealing the coat that he had worn long ago, Li Shimin laughed and walked down the altar, patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder, walked through the officials, and walked to the carriage.

With tears in his eyes, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to put on the dragon robe on the altar, but knelt down on the ground until Li Shimin got into the carriage.

Helping Li Chengqian up, Leng Feng smiled and said: "Don't be moved here, your father, for you, took the Zen position when he was in a little health. As a son, all you can do is to inherit it!"

Li Chengqian grabbed Master's hand and said eagerly: "Master, I wanted to ask just now, why did you stand on the side of the retired officials? Do you want to retire too?"

Leng Feng nodded, and said before Li Chengqian asked him to stay: "Master has already helped anyone who can help you. Talented people who graduated from the Academy of Arts are like carp crossing the river. Those who can assist you are among them. How to choose and how to promote You have to learn it by yourself. Besides, look at Fang Xuanling and the others. They retired after a long time. They wanted to ride a horse and hunt, but they almost fell off and died. Your master, I want to take advantage of the fact that I can still ride a horse now , play around. As a disciple, you should support me!"

Li Chengqian nodded, he was no longer the kid who needed the master's help.

Pushing away Li Chengqian, Leng Feng smiled and bowed his hands to Yan Xiangshi. At the same time, the retired officials behind him also bowed their hands to the current officials.

Yan Xiangshi looked at Leng Feng, who was much, much younger than him, and could only smile wryly, leading the officials behind him to bow.The difference from Leng Feng and the others was that they all had to bend down and get close to the ground.

Li Chengqian also cupped his hands to the other side.

After the ceremony, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing and others came over, hugged Leng Feng's shoulder and laughed.

Letting them hold on, Leng Feng followed Li Shimin's carriage with a group of old men with gray beards, and left the palace gate.

The older generation built an unprecedented prosperity with blood, tears and sweat.Now, it is all handed over to the new generation to inherit.

Li Chengqian still didn't wear the dragon robe, but wore his prince's robe and led all the officials to see him off.

Li Shimin's carriage out of the palace is not just for show, he has already built a palace in the innermost part of Tianxia Manor.After being trapped in the palace for many years, and now finally in Zen position, he doesn't want to live in it at all.

And Leng Feng was also very helpless. When Li Shimin built the palace before, he only said that Tianxia Manor was a summer resort no less than Jiucheng Palace. He didn't want this guy to prepare for retirement.

Following Li Shimin's chariot out of the palace was also the empress' chariot. Li Shimin's abdication also represented her departure.

Outside Suzaku Street, there are huge crowds of people.But seeing the emperor's imperial chariot, they still gave way to a smooth road.And spontaneously followed the imperial army and sent the emperor out of Chang'an.

So far, the year of Zhenguan is over.

　To be honest, when I turned on the computer today, I didn't expect to write this.There were a lot of pitfalls, or in other words, I lost a lot of sub-lines because of the progress of the main line.Looking back today, there is nothing to write about.This is the end of the Zhenguan Dynasty.Of course, there is still a plot to follow.There should have been none, but I decided to write it up anyway.
