Chapter 11 Changing the Sky
As Li Ke entered the palace, he first used Su Dingfang to garrison Zhuque Gate, control the left and right Wuhou Guards, and control the imperial court. Later, he used Qin Shubao as the general of the Zuo Tun Guard, took charge of the imperial guards in Beiya Tunying, and controlled the palace. Li Ke almost immediately controlled the situation in Chang'an City with his confidant.
But this is not a worry-free place for Li Ke. Li Ke has experienced the assassination of the Xuanwu Sect, especially when the imperial power changes, he will never know who will plot against him behind his back.
Li Ke was a disciple of Qin Shubao and had a strong martial arts skills, so he naturally did not want these things. However, Li Ke was worried that someone was not good for Wu Meiniang or Li Yan, so after Li Ke entered the palace, he did another thing, that is, to replace the guards of Tai Chi Palace in the name of rotating, transfer them to the periphery, and temporarily transfer the Modao Camp that Xi Junmai and Xi Junmai were promoted.
Modao Camp was formed by Li Ke when he was still in Hedong. It was all powerful warriors. There was no need to say much about their elite troops. More importantly, the Modao Camp was all the old subordinates of Li Ke and Xi Junp, and they were the most trusted by Li Ke.
Just as Li Ke finished all this, all the officials and relatives in the court arrived and rushed to the Taiji Hall where Li Shimin had his coffin.
Li Shimin's coffin was parked in the hall, and Li Ke led the royal family and civil and military officials to kneel inside and outside the hall and cry.
What's more, not only in the imperial city, but also in Chang'an City, tens of thousands of Chang'an people spontaneously set off from their homes without any organization, walked out of the house, passed through the alleys, gathered on the Tianjie Street near Zhuque Gate.
In just over an hour, the sky street, which was fifty feet wide and ten miles long, was already full of people. The people wore plain cloth on their heads and cried in the direction of the imperial city.
The howlings of tens of thousands of people sounded in Chang'an City, both rushing to the sky like a tsunami and thunder shaking the world. They could go straight into the sky. For a moment, it seemed that the mountains and rivers had lost their color.
If you stand outside the Suzaku Gate and look up, look at the sky street, you will see that there are white white and white areas, as if it is after heavy snow, but now it is spring for a long time.
However, the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty was not just the hometown of China, the Han people, the Turks, the Xueyantuo people, and the Tuyuhun people... They were both under the rule of the Tang Dynasty and were all the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin won the most hearts of the people during his lifetime, both Han and Hu people, just as Li Shimin himself said: "Since ancient times, they have been valued by China and barbarians. I love them only as one, so their seeds fall to me like my parents."
Today, not only the emperors of the Han people, but also the Tiankhan of all races, the kings of all races. The Han people kowtowed and cried, and many Hu people also practiced the etiquette of their races, cutting their hair, shaking their faces, and cutting their ears. There were hundreds of people with blood flowing all over the ground, dotted in a vast white area. They were also sending their Tiankhan off in their own way.
The plain white white as snow, and the red blood as red as plum. Ten miles of heavenly streets and hundreds of thousands of people are sad and hearts.
Such a scene cannot be found in a prosperous dynasty, nor can it be found in a wise king. Who else can be found except for Li Shimin?
The imperial guards stationed under Zhuque's Sect were not men with strong iron and strong men, and those who were not old soldiers who had experienced many battles and were used to seeing corpses and blood, but at this time they all cried into tears and could not help themselves.
The same scene also happened in the Tai Chi Hall, and took place in every corner of the imperial city. Li Shimin treated the people well and was extremely forgiving to his ministers and servants around him. They were closer to Li Shimin than ordinary people, so naturally they cried and felt miserable.
Imperial City, Tai Chi Hall, and the main hall.
Just as everyone was crying and couldn't help but feel in love, Hu general Qie Heli also slowly stood up: "Report to the prince, I will ask for something for Qie Heli."
Everyone was crying, and Qie Heli suddenly stepped out of the line, which attracted everyone's attention. Everyone, including Li Ke, looked at Qie Heli.
Li Ke looked at Qi Bi Heli's purple forehead, crying and swollen eyes, and asked, "What's wrong with General Qi Bi?"
Qi Zhuhe said: "Your Majesty was very kind to the last general during his lifetime. Now that your Majesty has passed away, the last general cannot repay him. I am willing to follow the etiquette of the clan. Please bury your Majesty for your Majesty. I hope the prince will be grateful."
Li Shimin treated Qi Bi Heli very well. When he was expeditioning to Tuyuhun in the west, Qi Bi Heli went deep alone and there was no news for a long time. Once someone impeached Qi Bi Heli in front of Li Shimin, saying that Qi Bi Heli was a Tieler person and had long been intent to collude with Yi Nan to rebel. However, Li Shimin had no doubt about Qi Bi Heli and refuted all those who impeached Qi Bi Heli. Qi Bi Heli had long heard of this matter and had always kept it in his heart.
What Qi Bi Heli said was loyal, but Li Ke would not agree. Li Ke said: "General Qi Bi is loyal, I have always known that the saying of burying with you is not advisable. My father had a long-standing order. If the father was buried with you, the ceremony of burying with you is not allowed. I must follow the rituals of burying with you. I must not disobey the orders of burying with you."
It is true that Qi Bi Heli wants to bury Li Shimin for Li Shimin, but since it is Li Shimin's last order, Qi Bi Heli cannot violate it. Qi Bi Heli dared not resist the order, so he responded to the promise and knelt down again.
Li Ke stood in the hall, looking at the ministers in the hall, knowing that the time was almost done, so he looked at Changsun Wuji beside him. Changsun Wuji knew what Li Ke meant, nodded, got up and walked to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty's orders, all the people will listen to the orders." Changsun Wuji stood in the middle of the hall and shouted loudly.
When everyone in the hall heard this, they knew that Changsun Wuji was going to read Li Shimin's will, so they quickly stopped crying and leaned on the ground.
Changsun Wuji held the imperial edict in his hand, slowly unfolded, slowly put away his sad face, with a solemn and solemn expression, making this the last imperial edict he read for his ministers and Li Shimin.
"The great destiny of heaven is that Green mist is his books; the emperor is honored by the emperor, Chixian is ahead of his ministers. And his achievements are made and good, and the trees in Qiaoshan are already shady; the career is peaceful, and the driving of Cangwu is far away. As for the suppression of the enemy, Anliyuan, flood disasters, and great troubles, Huangdi's 53 Battles and Shang Tang's 27 Battles, how can this be calculated?
I brushed my clothes in the year of dancing elephant, drew my sword in the place where I killed my snakes. Even though I had monsters, I killed my head and carriages; I was evil in a hundred Chiyou, and I was striking corpses and drums. The land that the previous kings did not open up, all the clothes were requested; the hometowns that were not recorded in history were also prefectures. I was stolen by the scholars and officials in the world; I was stolen by the people of the world, and I was stolen by the people of the world. I was stolen by the Tao. I was stolen by the way, and the people and the principles of the people returned together. I was stolen by the Yuanquan. What hatred would I hate?
The Crown Prince Ke was filial and wise, had great filial piety, had a good military strategy, was born with virtue, was well-off, and was well-off. All the officials and officials and officials were sent to the houses of the past without going against my wishes. After being a member of the sect, he would be buried in seven days. The clan and community were still there, and he should not be without a master. The Crown Prince ascended the throne in front of the coffin. According to the old system of the Zhou and Han dynasties, he should not be stopped in military and national affairs. He should not be suspended. He should be idle and he should be appointed as the minister.
The civil and military officials, who had been in the third rank, had cried for three days, and had been in the morning and cried for three days, and had been in the fifteenth rank, and they were out after the work was completed. The fourth rank, they were in the court, and those who were in the hall should not be in the morning and night, and they would not be able to cry forever. The kings who were in the governor and governor came to attend the funeral. The officials who were in charge of Yuemu were in charge of their positions, and they were in charge of mourning for three days. Their garments should be based on the Han system, and the day should be changed to the moon and the garden system, and they should be frugal."
This imperial edict was Li Shimin's last imperial edict, which was a little longer, but the article only meant three: one is to tell one's life; the second is to pass on the throne, Li Ke, the crown prince, ascended the throne quickly in front of the spirit, and not to miss the state affairs; the third is to remind the funeral to be frugal, and all officials should not be too sad.
Li Shimin was a sage king of all ages and was beyond the comparison of emperors of all dynasties. With just this last edict, there were many others.
