Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chai Lingwu, the head of the Longxi Li family, the head of the Qinghe Cui family and others all looked solemn.

They were still discussing the enthronement tomorrow morning.

"Our scouts have already gone there."

"Calculating the time, Li Longtian and the others must have received the letter a long time ago, and our news must have reached Luoyang a long time ago."

"But, up to now, there has been no reply from Luoyang City. What on earth are Li Longtian and his men doing?"

"Could it be that... they don't know how to reply? Such an important matter cannot be neglected at all. What are they doing for a living? They should understand this principle!!"

The head of the Longxi Li family spoke in a low voice.

He looked out the car window. The sun was about to set.

The vast land outside the car window is all the same color, which makes people feel extremely heavy.

For some reason, the head of the Longxi Li family suddenly felt a little anxious.

Chai Lingwu swallowed his saliva and said, "Master Li, don't worry. Phew... maybe something happened in Luoyang that delayed them."

"If you think about it carefully, there are still a lot of things going on right now, and it happened suddenly, so they are a little flustered. In fact, this is all normal."

"Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is not just their business. In addition, the people of the entire city must be informed."

"We are not rebelling. We are carrying out the succession ceremony in an upright manner! The Emperor is in our hands. Li Shimin is the traitor!!"

"So, tomorrow morning, the people must go out of the city to welcome them. However, it's snowing heavily, and it will be very busy to mobilize the people and notify every household."

Chai Lingwu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.

It does!

They ascended the throne normally. They escaped from the rebel Li Shimin. This should be in accordance with God's will, and the people had to come out to welcome them no matter what.

Even if it's just a show, we have to go on with it!

Otherwise, how should the people discuss it?

Ascended to the throne!

Change Kyoto!

These are not small matters!
The head of the Longxi Li family exhaled deeply.

He glanced at Chai Lingwu and nodded.

But for some reason, the anxiety in my heart just didn't subside at all.

"That being said, even if things are busy..."

"No matter how busy you are, you should reply to the letter."

"Li Longtian is also an old man. He must know this."

"Could it be... Could it be that something went wrong in Luoyang?"

The head of the Longxi Li family suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice.

He is under a lot of pressure now.

Having taken this step, they have no way back.

This is related to the success or failure of the family, so we must be cautious!

Luoyang is their base camp.

Now that they have given up Chang'an, if something happens in Luoyang, then...
They are really going to become wandering ghosts.

In a short period of time, there was no place to stay.

Then, it will be easy to catch them all in Chang'an!
Effortless!

As soon as these words were spoken, the car suddenly became extremely quiet.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you.

They were all speechless.

Wei Ting exhaled deeply, shook his head, and said directly: "No, Master Li, how is it possible! Luoyang, it will be fine, it will be fine..."

Wei Ting said it was okay several times.

It seemed like he was comforting the head of the Longxi Li family and others, but also like he was comforting himself.

"Luoyang, we have been operating for who knows how many years."

"Hehehe... From top to bottom, they are all members of our clan. There will definitely be no problems!"

"Yes!"

The head of the Qinghe Cui family also nodded repeatedly and said, "Even if he is a night watchman, he is still a member of our family. Luoyang, what kind of trouble can there be?"

"Moreover, Chang'an is now under our control. There has been no news. It is impossible for them to control Luoyang quietly, unless they are gods!"

"That's right. You can rest assured about this. Luoyang is definitely ours. It's also our home ground!"

"......."

Chai Lingwu, the head of the Longxi Li family, and others also echoed Wei Ting's words.

Just at this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"Master Li, a letter from Luoyang!"

"hiss……."

Hearing this, the head of the Longxi Li family took a deep breath, and without caring about the people around him, he hurriedly opened the curtain of the car himself.

He grabbed the envelope.

"Speak of the devil and he will appear."

"That's good now, Patriarch Li, you can rest assured now."

Wei Ting's lips were a little chapped and his voice was low, but it could be heard that he was a little excited.

after all.

There has been no reply, and anyone would have some complaints.

I took a quick look.

Then, he let out a long breath and completely relaxed.

The solemnity on his face and the anxiety in his heart just now all disappeared.

"Li Longtian and the others have already started making arrangements."

"The people in the city are now starting to prepare for the welcome. They are preparing big red lanterns, colorful ribbons and other things."

"The letter said that the musicians are also rehearsing and waiting for us to arrive in Luoyang tomorrow."

The head of the Longxi Li family smiled and handed the letter in his hand to Wei Ting and others.

Wei Ting and others quickly circulated it.

In an instant, the only atmosphere left in the carriage was a joyful one.

"Hahaha……."

"That's what I said, Patriarch Li, you're worrying too much, aren't you?"

Wei Ting laughed.

"Yeah yeah."

Chai Lingwu nodded repeatedly: "For so many years, Luoyang has always been ours, and it has never changed."

"Moreover, the entire Chang'an is now under blockade by us. There is still no news about Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Zhangsun Wuji and others. Their lives and deaths are unknown."

"Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others are all under our control."

"It's impossible for them to arrive in Luoyang before us. Now, let's just wait and take a good rest when we get to Luoyang. We are all tired this time."

"Then, we can send troops to recapture Chang'an and unify the world!!"

"......."

Suddenly, excitement appeared on everyone's faces.

Everything is developing in the direction they had planned.

"Okay, okay, let's all take a break, eat something, and get some sleep."

"When we wake up, we should be in Luoyang."

"When the time comes, gentlemen, we will create history together, leave our names in history, and be praised by the world!"

The head of the Longxi Li family said easily.

Another burst of hearty laughter was heard from the carriage.
.
…….……….……….
There was no conversation that night, only the sound of the wind outside the carriage.

Unconsciously.

The sun rose again from the east, slowly swallowing up the darkness between heaven and earth.

At this moment, a magnificent, lion-like city slowly appeared on the horizon in front of the convoy.

“It’s here, it’s here, it’s finally here!!”

"Look, Luoyang is ahead, Luoyang is ahead!!"

“Hahaha… We’ve arrived, everyone cheer up, Luoyang City is just ahead!!”

"......."

At this moment, the guards at the front burst into excited cheers.

Suddenly, heads appeared from the carriages at the back.

These were the families of the nobles and the families of the officials who followed Li Tai. Their faces showed fatigue.

All of their eyes were extremely relaxed.

The whole person looks depressed.

However, at this moment, their somewhat cloudy eyes finally revealed ecstasy, crazy joy!!

That city is simply the treasure they are most looking forward to! !
Luoyang City!
arrive! !
A day and night of hard work.

Such difficult days finally made it through.

Oh my God!
Many people couldn't hold back their tears and they burst into tears.

"We're here, we're here, look, look, hahahaha...we're finally here!!"

"Luoyang City, Miss, look, that's Luoyang City!"

"Madam, we have finally arrived at Luoyang City. We can finally take a hot bath and have a good rest."

"Oh, it's Luoyang City, it's really Luoyang City, Master, Master, look, we've arrived at Luoyang City!"

"......."

Suddenly, there was another round of overwhelming cheers.

Deafening.

It’s more lively than the Chinese New Year.

The young ladies and masters from the aristocratic families even ran out of the carriages and jumped up excitedly.

The old ladies and masters of the aristocratic families all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling happy that they had survived a calamity.

This journey really tortured them.

Li Tai was also awakened by such cheers.

He hardly slept at all that night.

The whole person was in a trance.

The bloodshot in his eyes were like spider webs.

After hearing the cheers outside, he almost rushed out of the car window.

He stared at the huge city in front of him, and his breathing became rapid.

I couldn't help but grin, feeling extremely excited and thrilled.

Arrived!

finally reached!

Li Yuan also woke up, but he just looked outside, then changed his posture and fell into a deep sleep again.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Go in quickly, go in quickly!!"

"This is so indecent and unbecoming of Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, Luoyang City is ahead. I guess all the officials in Luoyang City are ready now."

"Your Majesty, please go in and tidy up your appearance."

"We are about to enter the city!"

Wei Ting, Chai Lingwu and others hurriedly ran over from behind.

A bright red dress.

This is not an ordinary official uniform, but a formal dress that is only worn during grand ceremonies.

Now, everyone has changed.

In front of us is Luoyang City!
At this moment, they have finally waited!
"No problem, no problem!"

"hiss……."

Li Tai took a deep breath and said repeatedly.

However, he still retreated obediently.

Then, he hurriedly opened the car curtain.

"Wei Ting, wait, what should I do?"

He was a little nervous.

But what I couldn't control was my excitement.

I...I am finally going to ascend the throne!!
I am finally going to become the emperor!!!

As long as we enter Luoyang City, all of this will be established!

However, Li Tai was young after all, and his mind was unstable. He simply couldn't remain calm in the face of such a big thing.

Wei Ting smiled and clasped his fists, looking extremely relaxed.

"Your Majesty, when the time comes, you only need to follow the instructions."

"It's very simple. The ceremonial officer asks you to get off the car, so you get off. The ceremonial officer asks you to enter the city, so you enter the city. It's just like the grand ceremonies and sacrifices in Chang'an before, Your Majesty, which you have participated in before."

“I think I understand.”

Wei Ting said quickly.

Li Tai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lord Wei."

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

"Your Majesty, please go in and rest. Get ready. I, your old servant, seem to have heard the cheers of the people in Luoyang City. Hahahaha..."

Wei Ting said quickly.

Li Tai took a deep breath, lowered the curtain, sat in the carriage, and kept patting his dragon robe.

Afraid there might be some flaws.

Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Tai, who was so excited that he danced and jumped as if he was about to fly to heaven. Li Yuan chuckled but did not say anything. He simply closed his eyes.

Continue to sleep on your own.

This matter has nothing to do with me anyway.

The speed of the carriage has slowed down.

The head of the Longxi Li family, the head of the Qinghe Cui family...
There were also officials from Chang'an who followed him to Luoyang City.

They all got off their carriages.

After all, we are going into the city.

They must gather around Li Tai.

The carriage behind Li Tai stopped, revealing a large empty space.

"Come, come, General Chai, you should stand in front of me."

"Hey, General Li, why are you standing next to me? You should be standing in front."

"Brother Cui, if you stand here, I will have to take two steps back, right?"

"Oh my, brother Wang, congratulations, the Ministry of Revenue will be yours from now on, please step forward."

"......."

All the officials followed Li Tai's carriage.

A little confusing.

After all, every official's position has its own rules.

However, although many officials came this time.

But, after all, no one came.

So, it suddenly becomes not smooth.

I don't know how to stand.

"OK OK."

"Everyone, please don't be polite. Today, everyone has served as a follower of the dragon. You are all meritorious officials of the Tang Dynasty. Today, everyone's contributions are the same. Just stand still."

"Arrange them neatly. When Your Majesty officially ascends the throne and moves into Luoyang, he will naturally give you new rewards."

“Ah? Hahaha…”

In front, Wei Ting greeted and said.

The officials, who had been in chaos, finally calmed down a little, and the ranks slowly stood in line.

And in front of us, Luoyang City became clearer and clearer.

But as they walked, they found something was wrong.

What was ahead seemed a little different from what they had expected.

They thought that they could hear the overwhelming roar from a long distance away, and that there would be endless flags waving in front of and above the city gate.

But…….
wrong!

Something is wrong!

Luoyang City is getting closer and closer, but the front...seems...to be empty!!!
No one!
Even the snow was not cleared.
