Everything was discussed and Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace and made arrangements to wait for the grand martial arts performance in front of Chengtian Gate.

On the day of the martial arts festival, the weather in Chang'an City happened to be clear and the temperature was appropriate.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian both left the palace with full guards of honor.

In front of Chengtian Gate, Li Shimin's ceremonial guards were all set up, with more than 2,000 deacons in front and behind, and Li Chengqian's number was smaller and more than 1,000 people. Both teams were very large, two miles away from front to back.

Li Shimin took the first ride of the six white horses that the emperor used to fight against the army. Li Chengqian followed Jin Lu, who was the highest-ranking four horses in the crown prince's ceremonial guard and slowly headed westward.

Because there was an etiquette to declare the marriage of the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo later, Li Shiji arranged more than 30,000 guards to line up outside the Anfu Gate, the west gate of the imperial city.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's carriage walked west from Chengtian Gate and passed through the Yeting Palace and left Anfu Gate before they could patrol the guards and horses.

Li Chengqian's carriage is about one mile away from Li Shimin's carriage, and there are various ritual instruments such as feather fans, incense burners, flags, axes, and halberds in the middle.

Looking from Li Chengqian's position, I saw the flags in front of me fluttering and the axes shining, and the team slowly and solemnly moved forward.

When Li Shimin's convoy walked to Anfu Gate, Cheng Yaojin rode a fast horse to the side of the imperial carriage and asked the eunuch who was accompanying him to tell Li Shimin about it.

"The Sixth Palace of the East leads all the way out, and arranges a neat team to follow the crown prince's ceremonial guard for no reason. I ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

Li Shimin was startled when he heard the news, but after thinking about it, he understood what Li Chengqian was going to do. He was definitely not planning a rebellion and mutiny. He just wanted to pull out the Six Directions of the East Palace to compete with other guards of the Tang Dynasty.

"Hmph! I will send the order to Duke Lu ignore them."

Although Li Shimin passed the order like this, he still made himself angry and gritted his teeth and thought about how to deal with Li Chengqian.

Cheng Yaojin also knew that Li Chengqian could not rebel under the situation of gathering tens of thousands of troops in front of Anfu Gate. It was his duty to report to Li Shimin. However, when he heard Li Shimin say he ignored them, he was still shocked and thought to himself that Your Majesty really wanted to spoil the prince to heaven!

Li Chengqian, who was sitting in the car behind, had long known that Li Shimin would not issue an order to prevent Donggong Liusu from following for the sake of his face.

After all, not only are the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, but also Feng Li, the envoy of the barbarian tribes in front of Chengtian Gate. If Li Shimin issued an order now to prevent the Six Directions of the East Palace from following, what would those people in Tianzhi interpret?

Xue Rengui was wearing a bright light and slowly walked in front of a thousand-person team riding a tall horse. The thousand-person team behind him walked forward in a row in a row.

Wang Fangyi behind Xue Rengui was also wearing bright lights and riding a tall horse with a team of thousands of people.

Behind them, Cheng Wuzhen and Su Dingfang were also following Li Li Chengqian slowly towards Anfu Gate, just like them.

Originally, Li Chengqian arranged for them to go out of Anfu Gate and then take a regular stance, but the generals were very confident in the soldiers they trained, and they had to show their style in front of the generals of Chang'an. So they started to go straight as soon as they left the gate of the East Palace. Fortunately, there were two of the most grand ceremonial guards in the world at that time, and the speed was very slow and they could keep up.

But they were so high-profile that all the civil and military officials and envoys of various vassals who stood on the Chengtian Gate Tower and Chengtian's former Hou Jia were stunned.

What's going on? Why does the crown prince have more ceremonial guards than His Majesty? This is not like this. The soldiers in this team are full of murderous intent. What are they doing?

Of course, some people can see that, for example, two idle people, Li Jing, Duke of Wei and Duke of Ai, stood together and saw the formation below, and looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

It is obvious that Li Chengqian is making a demon girl again, and the two of them can't help but worry for Li Shimin. There is such a prince who will make trouble in the future...

The soldiers of the guards on the right side of the main road outside Anfu Gate were lined up on the right side to wait for Li Shimin and Li Chengqian to review. Tens of thousands of soldiers were lined up to Puningfang next to the city gate.

The moment Li Shimin's car drove out of Anfu Gate, the Minister of War Li Shiji rode a horse to the front of the imperial carriage and knelt on one knee, shouting, "Report to Your Majesty, the guards of the Tang Dynasty have lined up in front of Anfu Gate, please review them yourself."

Li Shimin stood up from his seat, walked forward two steps and shouted loudly, "Accurate!"

Li Shiji stood up and stepped on the war horse to guide him, and Li Shimin's car started again and walked forward.

Li Shimin stood at the front of the car and looked at these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty intently. Any soldiers who drove Li Shimin in the square formation would inevitably kneel down on the mountain on one knee and shout long live to salute Li Shimin.

According to Li Chengqian's idea, these etiquettes only need to be bowed as etiquettes, including Li Shiji who did not need to dismount, but Yang Shidao, Ma Zhou, Zhang Chengxing and others became like this as soon as they got involved.

Later, Xu Jingzong quietly told Li Chengqian that this was to suppress the arrogance of the generals and make them more obedient in the future.

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly in his heart. Why did it appear that there were signs of civil and military disputes before it even started. However, when he thought about this situation, he could take advantage of it in a few days, so he didn't say much.

At this time, Li Chengqian was also standing at the front of his car, watching the soldiers in front knelt down and saluting to Li Shimin's car, and then got up one by one. When his car approached, he knelt down and saluting again, like ups and downs, a sense of magnanimity arose.

Looking up at the distant sky, I secretly swear that I must always be a sacred kingdom. Anyone who is threatened by this goal, whether it is internal or external factors, must be cleared out one by one.

At this moment, he really became a Tang Dynasty man, a confident and domineering crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Shigui stood at the forefront of the first formation in front of Anfu Gate, and watched Li Shimin and Li Chengqian slowly pass by the ceremonial war, and felt a little relieved.

But before I could move, I heard the sound of neat footsteps and the sound of armor rubbing from Anfu Gate.

What's going on?

The soldiers behind Zhang Shigui also heard it, and some people who were ignorant of the importance began to whisper.

"Isn't someone going to rebel here?"

"Nonsense! Who is so bold to rebel in front of our tens of thousands of Tang soldiers?"

"So this?"

...

...

Without them, Xue Rengui, who was wearing bright light armor, rode a tall horse and walked out of Anfu Gate.

Seeing this, Zhang Shigui couldn't help but open his eyes and look behind Xue Rengui...

Soon, a team of soldiers led by Tokugami Guard walked out in a straight step.

Rows of soldiers with bright armor walked towards them like a sea of ​​​​sky.

Zhang Shigui and the soldiers in the array behind him were all stunned.

Seeing that every move of the Thousand People team was completely consistent, walking forward step by step.

Every step of these people seemed to be stepping on Zhang Shigui's heart, which shocked Zhang Shigui so much that he didn't even dare to breathe. He opened his eyes wide and looked at them, wondering how they got like this?

After Xue Rengui's team walked over, another team came from behind, and thousands of people passed one after another. Their military formation was still so neat, without any signs of disorder.

As the soldiers of the Six-leader of the East Palace walked over from front, the soldiers of the guards who were excited about being inspected by Li Shimin and Li Chengqian just now seemed to have been beaten to death, and were no longer as proud as before.
