The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"The Supreme Emperor passed away, Yu Li..."

After listening to Datong's words, Zhong Wen knew a general idea.

In fact, it is about treating Li Yuan according to the emperor's etiquette. Because the mausoleum still needs to be completed, the time is scheduled to be one and a half months later to worship the shrine.

During the period before offering sacrifices to the shrine, the three provinces discussed how to conduct the funeral in accordance with the etiquette.

Whether the world is white or simple, these have to be discussed by the three provinces.

After the death of a normal emperor, it is basically announced by the whole world, and then the whole world hangs up, that is, let the people all over the world know that the emperor is dead, how long it will take to eat vegetarian food, what things can't be done, what things can't be said, and entertainment Forbidden and so on.

Moreover, the whole world needs to be notified.

It is even more necessary to notify the vassal states, and those vassal states will send missions to pay their respects and so on.

However, compared to the sudden death of Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, there are some rituals, but it is not easy to be so conclusive.

As for whether it is in accordance with the etiquette system, it will not be known until one and a half months later.

"Brother, why couldn't we talk just now? Little Zhuzi and I were taught not to talk in the palace, let alone make noise. Before someone died in our village, couldn't we talk? We can still do things." After coming out of the palace, Xiao Hua asked Zhong Wen about something.

"This is the royal family, and it cannot be compared with ordinary people. There are some things that you should understand when you grow up. When you go to the palace, just listen to what the palace people say, and don't say anything." Zhong Wen responded to Xiao Hua while walking forward.

"Oh, then I understand." Xiao Hua replied.

In Xiaohua's head, she doesn't understand these things at all.

Or, she is still in the state of Longquan Village and has not adjusted so far.

Zhong Wen didn't have much to say.

In short, the current Xiao Hua is also pretty good. Apart from making Zhong Wen's head bigger, the other things are also pretty good. At least because he is willing to study, Zhong Wen can get rid of most of Xiao Hua's shortcomings.

At this time, in Chang'an City, there were plain onyx hanging everywhere.

This also made Zhong Wen understand that the Supreme Emperor of the Tang Kingdom passed away, and it was probably announced to the world when they held the sacrifice.

The streets that Zhong Wen and the others passed by had long since lost the sound of hawkers, and even the frames of the bicycles had disappeared. What's more, even the Marquis Wu who were patrolling the streets were hung up with white silk.

When Zhong Wen returned to Yongpingfang, those restaurants, wine shops, and all places of entertainment were basically closed.

Zhong Wen, who returned to the county marquis's mansion, found Xu Fu.

"The palace said that during the nine-day festival time, restaurants and restaurants are not allowed to open. Xu Fu, you have to close the Huilai Restaurant in a while." Zhong Wen said to Xu Fu.

"Master Dao, I have already closed the restaurant, and I have posted a notice that it will be closed for a month." Xu Fu responded.

"That's good, it's good to rest for a month, so as not to be gossiped, guys in the restaurant, you have to pay wages as usual, and you can't afford less." Zhong Wen confessed.

"Master Dao, don't worry about this, our County Marquis Mansion will not treat them badly." Xu Fu could not know what Zhong Wen was thinking, so he quickly explained.

At this time, scenes similar to Zhong Wen's conversation with Xu Fu were also being staged in the homes of various honorable officials in Chang'an City.

However, they are not closed for a month like Zhong Wen.

Nine days, for them, is already a big loss.

Most honorable officials have their own properties or shops.

There are restaurants, wine shops, cloth houses, here and there, all kinds.

What's more, in Pingkangfang, there is a gambling house and a brothel industry.

Moreover, these are definitely among the best in terms of profit, and are more profitable than those of the salt shops.

Chapter 458 Looking for a Surprising Mutation in Lingzhou

That night.

Zhong Wen left Chang'an City.

What needs to be explained has been explained clearly.

Regarding the death of the Supreme Emperor, in the following time, there will be nothing else for Zhong Wen. The sacrifice is over, and the things that can be done, except for the need for relatives to kneel and sacrifice, outsiders don't have to go anymore.

As for why Zhong Wen didn't tell Li Shimin.

Zhong Wen did not go to Li Shimin to say hello anymore.

With the shadow passing the message, Zhong Wen stopped talking too much, and Zhong Wen was still angry with Li Shimin, so he stopped saying hello.

What's more, the enmity of the master's school is greater than anything else, even if the emperor dies, it can't compare with the enmity of the master's school. He believes that the shadows and the others can understand it, and he also believes that Li Shimin can understand it too.

As for whether Li Shimin can really understand, this is beyond Zhong Wen's consideration.

After leaving Chang'an City.

Running all the way north, without a moment's delay.

With a distance of a thousand miles, Zhong Wen could reach Lingzhou overnight.

However, Zhong Wen did not go straight to Lingzhou according to the straight-line distance, but rushed to the Great Wall of Yanzhou when the sky was getting brighter.

Then, along the section of the Great Wall, head towards Lingzhou.

From what he saw and heard along the way, Zhong Wen also knew that the further north he went, the fewer the population and the fewer villages.

What I see most is desolation.

The distance from Yanzhou to Lingzhou is less than three hundred miles.

From Zhong Wen to Yanzhou, speaking, he just wanted to know the situation along the North Great Wall.

After all, in his previous life, he had only seen the map, but he had never been to this land. As for the situation of this land, his eyes were dark and he didn't know anything.

And passing through Yanzhou this time can be regarded as having some understanding of the situation along the North Great Wall.

However, the so-called understanding is just seeing a desolation.

Fortunately, the land of Yanzhou is already a territory of Tang State.

With the Great Wall guarding the North, if you want to come to the Turkic and other tribal countries, and want to invade the Tang Dynasty, you have to think about whether you can break through the Great Wall and enter.

In the former Sui Dynasty, the north of Yanzhou was located, and only Wuyuan County was established.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Wuyuan County was occupied by the Turks, and it was not taken back until later.

After fighting the Turks many times, this southward land in the middle of the Yellow River returned to the Tang Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a place for the people here to live and work in peace.

The area from the north to the upper part of the middle section of the Yellow River is still under the jurisdiction of various Turkic ministries.

There will always be some wars from time to time, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Tang State stationed there are brave, and the Turkic ministries can't get it right.

It was not until the Turkic Jieli Khan was captured that the current safe place was established. The Dingxiang Dudu Mansion and the Yunzhong Dudu Mansion were established to accommodate most of the surrendered soldiers of the Eastern Turks.

And on this land, until the Zhongzong period, it can be said that there were three ins and three outs.

Zhang Renyuan built three castles here again, named Sanshoujiang City.

Shoujiang City in the east, Shuofang County in the south, Shoujiang City in the west, Wuling County in the south, Shoujiang City in the middle, and Yulin County in the south. The three castles are connected from east to west and echo each other.

In the afternoon, Zhong Wen settled down in a small town in the northwest of Yanzhou. After eating some food, he set off again and headed for Lingzhou.

After the night fell, Zhong Wen circulated his inner qi, used Treading Wuhen's movement technique, and went straight to Lingzhou.

At the beginning of Haishi, Zhong Wen arrived at Lingzhou City.

Afterwards, according to Li Shan's words, Zhong Wen went to a certain store in Lingzhou City.

"Who?" When Zhong Wen jumped into the backyard of a store in Lingzhou City, he deliberately made some noises, and it was already someone screaming.

"Is it a member of the Baiqi Division? Li Shan asked me to come and look for you." Zhong Wen took out a fish talisman from his body, and pointed it at the person running out of the house.

"I am Tang Lin, the captain of the Baiqi Division in charge of Lingzhou. May I ask what is your order for the envoy to come late at night?" The person from the Baiqi Division saw the fish charm displayed by Zhong Wen and knew that the identity of this person was not good. In general, hurry up and salute.

"You're welcome. I heard that you have inquired about people from the Taiyi Sect in the west of Lingzhou. I'm here this time to ask for information." Zhong Wen was also not polite, and asked directly about the Taiyi Sect.

"Wait a moment, my boss, I'll go and show it to my boss." Seeing that Zhong Wen came to ask for news about Taiyimen, Tang Lin knew that the person in front of him might be the regular attendant, and his face I respected him even more.

After a while, Tang Lin came out with a note and handed it to Zhong Wen.

Zhong Wen unfolded the note and looked at it according to the light coming from the room.

It was written on the note: Taiyi two people are now in Beisha.

simple.

It was so simple that Zhong Wen didn't know how to judge.

However, what Li Shan told him was that people from Taiyimen appeared in a small market town [-] miles west of Lingzhou, and found out that they were discovered by personnel from Baiqi Division when they were buying grain.

It's easy to have a specific location.

"Is Beisha that small market town?" Zhong Wen asked Tang Lin after reading the note.

"Yes, not far from the other side of the river, there is a small market town named Beisha Town." Tang Lin replied respectfully.

"Where is the west of Beisha Town? Do you know?" Zhong Wen continued to ask.

"Ten miles to the west of Beisha Town are fields and small villages, but not many, and further west is the southernmost tip of Helan Mountain." Tang Lin replied.

"Okay, thank you very much." Zhong Wen cupped his hands in thanks.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Wen immediately jumped away, causing Tang Lin to open his mouth in shock as he looked at Zhong Wen who was leaving, envious of such a character in his heart.

He Tang Lin can also be regarded as a martial arts practitioner.

He also knows the jumping technique, but he can't go high or far.

When he was young, he also wanted to be able to fly through the eaves like those legendary masters, but now he is in his thirties, but he still can't do it.

But today, he suddenly saw a master who could jump on the roof and disappear in the blink of an eye. His eyes revealed the fantasy of childhood again.

Dreams are something that everyone has.

Just like Zhong Wen, in his previous life, he watched a lot of martial arts TV series.

Zhong Wen, who was still a child at the time, had similar dreams to Tang Lin.

That is, just like those martial arts masters in TV dramas, they can catch the eaves with eight steps, take small steps on the waves, and fly on the grass.

It is possible to do it, how many people are there?

Without inheritance, without systematic learning, and without the perseverance to bear hardships and stand hard work, it is absolutely difficult to achieve this level of lightness.

In the history of China, there have been two strict bans on arms.

One is Yuan and the other is Qing.

Directly suppressed Huaxia's martial arts from the most prosperous period to the lowest level, resulting in faults and generations.

A lot of books were confiscated, let alone weapons.

Talk back to Zhong Wen.

After Zhong Wen left Lingzhou, he went west all the way.

After arriving at the edge of the Yellow River, Tiyun Zong used it, and after a while, he arrived at the opposite side of the Yellow River.

Beisha Town is just a small market town.

But at this night, let alone people, there were not even a dog.

After Zhong Wen arrived at Beisha Town, he rushed to the west.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhong Wen was already in the southernmost vein of Helan Mountain.

Helan Mountain, in the long river of history, can be said to be the most difficult famous mountain to conquer.

Before the Qin Dynasty, this place belonged to the Huns.

Until the beginning of Qin Dynasty, the Qin army fought all the way to the vicinity of Helan Mountain, causing some defeated Huns to enter Helan Mountain and occupy the mountain as king.Since then, the Helan Mountain area has started a war mode that lasted for thousands of years.

But in the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, a famous general of a generation, extended his military power to the Helan Mountain area.

It was not until the later period of Tang Zhenguan that Helan Mountain fell into the hands of the Central Plains.

Then, it was to fight back.

Up to the Song Dynasty, it was definitely the most memorable era, and it also pushed Helan Mountain to its peak.

Drive a long car and cross the Helan Mountain.

Aspirations hungry for the Hulu meat, and laughed and thirst for the blood of the Huns.

Song Dynasty famous general Yue Fei's "Manjianghong" is enough to show the status of Helan Mountain in his eyes.
