I have a backstage in Datang

However, when he closed his eyes, a faint smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen the happy future of Goguryeo.

Chapter 461 [Finally the founding of the country, etiquette tossing people]

, I have a background in Datang

At that time, the fifth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, autumn was an auspicious day.

It is suitable for offering sacrifices, breaking ground, relocating, and marrying.

This is the early morning, Yin Shi has just arrived.

Only two hours away from the founding of the country.

……

On the periphery of Gu's compound, countless armored soldiers are displayed.

The faces of the soldiers were all excited, but their eyes were shining with vigilance.

There are more than a dozen teams of people patrolling back and forth, and they have to go forward to check for any disturbances. Occasionally, a night bird is startled, and it is shot down before it can fly.

The founding and founding hall cannot tolerate any accidents, even frightened birds are not allowed to enter the guard circle.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the night, several Dukes of the Tang Dynasty came, the leader was Li Ji, and the rest were Lao Cheng, Liu Hongji and others.

These dukes also looked vigilant, walked to the periphery of the armored soldiers and asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything unusual?"

The armored soldiers handed over the flying bird and replied solemnly: "In the whole midnight, only one bird was shot down, other than that, there was no other change."

The princes were very satisfied, nodded and said: "Very good, continue to be vigilant. We will go to other places to see if there are any omissions."

Between talking, go hand in hand.

Just as the group of dukes left, a group of generals appeared not far away.

I saw that the leader was Ma Sanbao, followed by Yan Jiu and other retainers of the Gu family. This group of retainers were all wearing heavy armor, and their eyes were also flickering with vigilance. Asked: "Is there anything unusual?"

The armored soldier in charge of the guard was not impatient at all, and handed over the flying bird just now again, and replied respectfully: "Just shoot down a bird..."

Ma Sanbao nodded, and solemnly warned: "You must be careful and alert, and investigate any trouble."

The armored soldiers suddenly agreed.

Satisfied, Ma Sanbao turned his head and led his retainers away, and said as he walked, "Brothers, let's go around the city. It's only two hours before the founding of the country, so we can't be too cautious."

Yan Jiu and the others felt the same way.

……

At this time, the sky was still dark, but there were noisy voices in the courtyard, and there were crowds of people everywhere in the huge Gu family courtyard.

The noble ladies are busy, running fast, everyone is beaming with pride.

Being able to participate in a founding ceremony is definitely a great event worth bragging about for a lifetime, especially since they personally participated in the preparation, they feel even more proud and self-satisfied.

Suddenly, a noble lady screamed, her tone was anxious, and she said anxiously: "Where is the jade bi? Who saw where the jade bi was placed? If this thing is missing, it will be a big joke at the founding of the country. Hurry up Find it, everyone, hurry up and find it..."

Immediately there was a snort from the side, and another lady said with a smile: "Princess Hejian, can you stop yelling? How could the jade bi be lost? It was already sent to the city in the middle of the night. outside."

"Ah? Really? Oh, look at my brain, I'm so busy today. Jade bi is an object for worshiping the heavens, and the place outside the city is a place for worshiping the heavens, so it must have been sent there a long time ago, but I just now I was so scared that I was covered in cold sweat."

The ladies were laughing and laughing, and each of them started to get busy again.

Suddenly there was another scream in the courtyard, only to hear the flustered voice of Empress Changsun, who said anxiously: "Where is Mianguan? Why is Mianguan gone? My God, this will delay the important event. The founding of the country is about to happen. Bengong has lost brother-in-law Gu's crown."

All the women were startled suddenly, and they all felt cold sweat on their foreheads, so they panicked for a while and started looking around.

Fortunately, a noble lady was sober and recalled with uncertainty in her voice: "Don't be anxious, empress, sisters, don't panic. I vaguely remember that the crown seems to have been sent to Gu Guozhu's room."

Empress Changsun was obviously cold, and all the noble ladies were also stunned. Everyone vaguely remembered what happened, and immediately everyone turned embarrassing and began to be busy again.

In the main room not far away, Gu Tianya was speechless, and sighed: "I'm a little confused now, is it me or they who founded the country? Seeing their excitement, those who don't know think it's all Where is my wife..."

Pooh!

I heard someone spitting at the side, and I saw Li Shimin pulled his face and said: "You are about to become a prince, but you still don't speak properly. Those are your sisters-in-law outside. You dare to take advantage of this ? Brat, I really want to beat you to death with big-eared melon seeds."

Gu Tianya coughed twice, quickly raised his hand to admit his mistake, and said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue."

Li Shimin glared at him viciously, and reprimanded him coldly: "Hurry up and shut up, and sit upright obediently. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kick you to death, you brat... Where is Xiuning? Give him some more powder. When this kid spoke just now, the powder on his face was shaken off."

Gu Tianya was shocked immediately, and said with horror on his face: "Powdering again? Second brother, did you do it on purpose? From last night to now, you have had someone rub it on me five or six times."

"So what if you do it five or six times? If you want to blame it, blame you for moving around!" Li Shimin glanced at him again, and reprimanded him: "It seems that we are about to establish a country and establish a foundation, and we will be ridiculed by the people of the world if we lose etiquette."

At this time, Li Jiancheng's warm smile sounded from the side, and he actually persuaded him honestly: "Brother-in-law, don't move around, lest you shake off the powder on your face again..."

Gu Tianya explained bitterly, and said: "I really don't understand, what kind of etiquette is powdering? A good man, a dignified man, why do you need powdering? What kind of etiquette is this?"

As a result, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng spoke at the same time, and said solemnly: "This is an ancient ceremony in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the king's appearance is majestic."

"Powdering makes you look majestic?" Gu Tianya still wanted to argue.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng nodded at the same time, and said solemnly again: "That's right, that's right."

Gu Tianya was speechless and took a deep breath.

Suddenly his eyes rolled, he looked at Li Shimin and asked curiously: "Second brother, did you wipe it when you became the throne? Could it be that you were also messed up in the middle of the night, and you need to make up powder every time you speak?"

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "I'm not like you, my character is like a rabbit who doesn't sit in the nest. I only put on powder once, because I sat still and didn't speak all night. But you Brat..."

The emperor was about to continue teaching, when suddenly he seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly changed his words: "Where is Xiu Ning? Come here quickly! Rearrange the diadem of this brat, and re-arrange the robes of the princes and kings on his body. To smooth it out, don't lose the law."

At this time Zhaoning was busy with several concubines, when he heard the words, he ran over in shock and said nervously: "Why is the crown crooked again? The royal robe is also wrinkled."

While talking, the other girls also ran over, pressed Gu Tianya down without a word, and started a new round of tidying up the crowns.

Gu Tianya's face was miserable, he could only be manipulated like a wooden man.

He finally understood that everything tonight must be done in accordance with the etiquette, there is no other way, let everyone make troubles, otherwise if dissatisfaction is caused, I am afraid that he will have to repaint him again.

……

There was a sound of watchdog in the distance, and the hour finally arrived at Maoshi.

And just at the moment when the sound of the beating sounded, Li Shimin suddenly stood up as if he couldn't wait, and said in a deep voice: "The hour is here, go out of the main house, the first ritual of the founding of the country, first go outside the city to worship the heaven and the earth."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, more than a dozen courtiers rushed in outside the door, and without saying a word, they helped Gu Tianya up, as carefully as if he was helping an old man.

Gu Tianya was full of helplessness, and couldn't help reminding in a low voice: "You don't need to do this, I can go by myself."

Unexpectedly, the ceremony officials were furious, and Li Shimin next to him also looked angry, and said angrily: "From now on, shut your mouth, and if you dare to make any noise, I will slap you to death."

Next to him, Li Jiancheng also spoke in a warm voice, and continued to comfort him: "My brother-in-law is good, be obedient. Today is different from the past, and you have to put away your wild temper. Remember, don't say anything, don't say anything, and obey the court officials. Don't mess with the law."

The eldest brother of the royal family is treating him like a child.

Gu Tianya could only take a deep breath, and was supported to walk out slowly, he kept smiling wryly in his heart, and kept warning himself: "Don't make everyone angry, you are a puppet now, don't make everyone angry, you are a puppet now... ..."

Whispering in his heart, he was helped into a car by the ceremony officials.

That is the royal chariot of the princes and kings.

……

At this time, the sky was still not bright, but the long street was already full of people. I saw countless people standing on both sides of the road with excited expressions, and envoys from various countries came to watch the ceremony.

Suddenly there was a loud drum and the sound of gold ringing. Li Shimin's emperor's chariot went out first, followed by Gu Tianya's prince Wang Huan, and the two chariots headed out of the city under the guard of the army.

Chapter 462 [A small episode in the founding ceremony]

, I have a background in Datang

A round of red sun broke through the clouds, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers sprinkled golden light, and Gu Tianya stood alone at the colorless altar.

When he slowly lifted up a roll of silk and looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, the huge team behind him fell silent, and almost everyone had a thought in their hearts.

"It's about to start!"

Tell God that we are going to build a country today.

At this moment, the countenance of You Yun's courtiers were excited, and some of them thought that their official positions would be announced soon, and they couldn't help clenching their hands into fists.Due to too much force, the fingernails have already penetrated into the palm of the hand, but these people seem to be in a position, and their minds are full of excitement and tension.

At this moment, the noble ladies are holding their poles. They are drenched in sweat, and their eyes are shining with hope. They are very tired, but their hearts are full of joy. Although the shoulder poles are heavy, every noble lady They are all gritting their teeth.

Even the incomparably honorable Empress Changsun was carrying a heavy pole, with a little guy in front of the pole and a basket full of grain in the back. If you calculate the weight, it must weigh at least a hundred catties. Empress Changsun was obviously bent by the weight, but she did not put down the pole from the beginning to the end.

The little guy on the queen's pole is Prince Li Zhi.

"It's about to start, young slaves, sit down!"

Suddenly, Empress Changsun murmured softly, with an inexplicable meaning in her tone, she said in a low voice: "Your uncle is about to establish a country, and from now on he will be the lord of the vassals. A vassal is a monarch, although He is not yet an emperor, but he is already a king..."

Xiao Lizhi sat obediently in the rattan basket, with curiosity in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Queen, why do I sit in the rattan basket? And those noble ladies carrying poles, why are they also carrying their own baskets?" The child. The young slave saw that everyone was very tired, but no one secretly put down their shoulder poles to rest..."

The little guy was confused, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Empress Changsun smiled softly and explained softly: "This is the etiquette at the time of the founding of the country, and it is a once-in-a-century opportunity. The queen mother puts you in a rattan basket, and at the other end is a basket of grain..."

The queen stopped talking, and then said: "This food is not only a tribute to the gods, but also a manifestation of helping your uncle to express his ability to found a country. Since ancient times, founding a country means that someone has walked out of the road of a king. People will gather around him, and the people who follow him will not lack food and clothing. Therefore, when the country was founded, the people will spontaneously pick up food, so that God believes that the founder of the country has the ability to make the people have enough food and clothing..."

"So it's like this!" Xiao Li Zhi was thoughtful.

Suddenly the little guy asked again: "Then what is the reason for carrying the child?"

Empress Changsun smiled warmly, with a hint of depth in her tone, and explained in a low voice: "According to the ancient etiquette, children mean the future of the human race. This is to show God that there are no shortage of children under your uncle's rule. The lack of children means that it can be passed on for a long time..."

The queen stopped talking, and then said in a low voice: "Of course, this is only the superficial meaning of the etiquette. The deep meaning is to gain protection. When your uncle becomes a prince, he will protect you children who participate in the ceremony. Children of the founding ceremony , rest with the kingdom, as long as his kingdom lasts, he will protect you from being bullied."

"Why?" Little Li Zhi obviously couldn't understand, blinking and blinking curiously.

Empress Changsun smiled gently, and said, "Because you are the witnesses at the founding of the country, and the representatives who prove to God that your uncle's country can last for a long time. In other words, you symbolize the fate of the country... The fate of a country is no small matter, so As long as you don't make big mistakes in the future, your uncle must protect you for the rest of your life."

Little Li Zhi blinked again, and said in confusion: "But the child is from the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. I am destined to be very comfortable in this life! Why do I have to go far and let my uncle protect me?"

Empress Changsun was slightly taken aback, and seemed to sigh.

After a long time, the queen said softly: "Since ancient times, people in the royal family have never been at ease. Now you are still young, so you live comfortably. But when you grow up, you will fall into..."

The queen seemed unwilling to continue, and suddenly changed her words: "Anyway, you remember, this is the protection that the queen mother earned for you. The princes hold power and stay away from the Great Tang. If there is a dispute within the Great Tang one day, the royal family will The heirs turned against each other in order to fight for power and profit, but no matter how fierce the fight is, you have a way out, as long as your uncle is still there, there will be a big tree standing behind you... You are his founding gift boy, he will Protect you from harm."

Little Li Zhi seemed to understand, and nodded in a daze.

The little guy turned his head and looked around, and found that every noble lady was holding a pole. One end of the pole was carrying a child, and the other end was carrying grain. The autumn was scorching, known as the autumn tiger, and the ladies were drenched in sweat. Clothes, but have been gritting their teeth and persisting.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xiao Li Zhi's mind, and suddenly a clear understanding came into his heart, and he said: "The children understand, they are also fighting for shelter for the children. Those children who were picked on the poles are like me, and everyone will become You Yunzhao The founding gift boy of the country."

Empress Changsun looked relieved, and said in a low voice: "This is an asylum from the princes who founded the country, that's why the empress mother said it was a once-in-a-century opportunity."

……

If you carefully observe the ceremony of the founding of the country and sacrifice to heaven, you will find that these women are the most difficult people in the team.

Fortunately, each of them was delighted.

Joy and full of anticipation.

I saw a little girl standing on tiptoe, raising her hand from the rattan basket to wipe her mother's sweat, but her mother quickly stretched out her hand, gently blocked her daughter's movement, and said in a low voice: "Girl, don't move, mother will not move!" Don't be tired, you have to persevere... After the national ceremony is over, your life in this life will never let your mother worry about it again."

At this time, there was another noble lady beside her, who laughed softly when she heard the words, and asked in a low voice: "This girl looks unfamiliar, and her accent seems to be from the south of the Yangtze River. You actually brought a girl here, what's wrong with you?" Do you put the chance on the girl? It's unbelievable that there is a family that is willing to give the chance to the girl..."

But the little girl's mother nodded slightly, and replied softly: "This is her brother's insistence. As parents, we can't argue, but we have no choice but to obey the child's wishes."

"what!"

The other lady was obviously taken aback, and said curiously: "Such a great opportunity is enough to affect the fortune of a family. You parents can't argue with a child?"

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something, and couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Who is that child in your family?"

Before the little girl's mother could speak, she heard the little girl in the rattan basket speak out first, and said proudly, "My brother is Lu Zhaolin!"

"My God, it turns out that he is the true disciple of Lord Youyun!"

The noble lady was surprised, and then she showed kindness on her face, and she approached: "No wonder you want to do what the child wants, it turns out that the child is actually Youyun Zhuzi."

As he spoke, he looked at the little girl, put on a pampering expression and said: "It seems that this little girl is very loved by her brother, otherwise he would not help her win the status of the founding gift boy. As a female heir, it is good Great luck, you will have the protection of the princes for the rest of your life, and even if you marry someone, you will be offered by your in-laws."

The little girl's mother sighed, and said helplessly: "But she is a girl after all, and after she gets married, she can only take advantage of her husband's family."

The noble lady rolled her eyes just now, and comforted her in a low voice: "There is a true story of You Yun in your family, and you are destined to be protected by the Lord You Yun in this life, so you must not lose the big because of the small, for the sake of a founding gift boy. The identity has twisted the relationship..."

After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously reminded and said: "I heard that Lu Zhaolin was fostered by the Gu family since he was a child. It was Gu Guozhu and his wife who raised him, which means that he is not very close to you."

The little girl's mother was slightly startled, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, I understand. Since Zhaolin's child loves his younger sister, we parents must do what he wants."
