Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

It is clear that tomorrow is the day of the celebration, but the entire Chang'an City seems to have entered a state of excitement and anxiety. Almost everyone is discussing tomorrow's celebration, and martial law has been enforced near the south gate today, and they are in charge of this military parade. The team had a dress rehearsal.

The rehearsal was held at night in the form of lighting torches. The overall rehearsal was completed beautifully. Although Li Ke was not at the scene, he had already received an on-site report. In terms of this large-scale organizational capacity, it has been our leader since ancient times. strengths.

The streets of Chang'an City were hung with celebratory flags.

It is estimated that there will be a lot of people entering the celebration tomorrow, but it is impossible for all the people to go to the relevant places, such as the two sides of Suzaku Street, which will be the main street tomorrow, and there will inevitably be a large number of people gathered at that time.

Although the main military parade ceremony is outside the city gate, some can be seen inside. After all, the main venue for the military parade outside the city tomorrow is the most, which can accommodate about [-] people.

But on the auxiliary roads on both sides, that is, outside the informal venue, it is estimated that a large number of people will gather spontaneously, so I don't know how many people there are.

Fortunately, there are enough soldiers in the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an, and the security must be guaranteed.

In the early morning of October [-]st, before the sun came up, many people had already gathered in the south of Chang’an City. A considerable part of these people came from people living near Chang’an City, and some lived in Chang’an City. But for today’s There are people who came early to occupy a seat, deliberately went to live with relatives outside the city, and even spent the night in the wild.

But when they gathered at the gate of the city, the soldiers of the sixteen guards pulled a wall with ropes around all the main places near the gate. Although it was just a simple rope-drawn wall, no one rushed into it.

Today, most of the stores in Chang’an are on vacation, especially all the stores under Li Ke’s name, and these employees in Li Ke’s stores naturally have some preferential treatment. They can enter the internal meeting place, although it is not the main one. The viewing platform, but you must know that the viewing platform next to it is very rare.

Everyone, including the theater and the shopping mall, got the party, and they all got a printed temporary invitation in advance.

At four o'clock in the morning on October [-]st, most of the houses in Chang'an City had already turned on their lights. Ordinary people who had received invitation letters, as well as some people who came from afar, had to put on their cleanest clothes.

Like some brothel girls in the theater, they also put on their relatively grand clothes today, of course they seem to be closer, like Helian Liuli and the others have a better position, Yang Anning and the others are here, just close Under the walls of Chang'an City, it is a simple grandstand built of wood, similar to a staircase.

Although it is simple, it can accommodate the largest number of people. On this day, I didn't care about this.

The position of the stands here is quite important. In addition to those arranged by Li Ke, these places are the family members of some ministers, children of powerful families, family members, etc.

And orphans like Li Xiaojiu, who was adopted by Li Ke, were also eligible to come to watch the ceremony today, but they were located in the mass area, opposite the square.

In addition to these, special passages have been reserved around the entire square, and dozens of toilets have been temporarily built.These toilets are located in a very secluded area, avoiding some impatient people.

Although most people will definitely not eat or drink too much today, there are always some people who enter the venue earlier, such as ordinary people, they enter the venue earlier, and the toilet must be reserved.

And the relevant passage to the bathroom has already been reserved, so they won't be able to find it.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, at the entrance gate of the city gate, some people have already started to enter the venue. These are the most ordinary people. Although the invitation letter did not ask them to come so early, they still took the initiative to come early because they knew , There must still be big shots coming later, they can't cause trouble for His Highness.

But to their surprise, after the soldiers who had already stood here politely checked their invitation letters, someone personally guided them to their positions and told them that there were places to drink water and toilets nearby. place.

These people came too early, so they had to prepare part of the drinking water to prevent them from getting thirsty. It didn't matter if they were hungry, and it was okay to be hungry for a day.

However, there are also some smart people who brought water by themselves.

Li Xiaojiu and the others are the ones who came here early. They are all small in stature, but when they sit here, they sit very straight and serious, and their clothes are also the cleanest. a suit of clothes.

At seven o'clock in the morning, some people who got seats under the city wall began to enter, and the celebration officially started at nine o'clock in the morning.

Yang Anning and the others came here early. They are not qualified to accompany His Highness to stand on the city wall, but they are already satisfied to be able to sit here, so they rushed over early without wanting to cause trouble.

And there are more and more people around them.

At eight o'clock in the morning, all those who participated in the ceremony had already sat in their seats, and 10,000+ people had gathered in the entire square.

Although everyone's voices are very small, they are not small when gathered together.

At this time, a total of 720 military bands began to enter the arena. They will be divided into two parts and stand on both sides of Mingde Gate.Mingde Gate is facing the flag-raising part.

While entering the arena with the military band, envoys from various countries on the tower, court officials of the Tang Dynasty, military generals, members of the clan, etc. all began to board the tower of Mingde Gate.

After they all went up, Li Shimin took the eldest grandson empress, Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Zhi and other royal members to the Chenglou.

For example, Empress Changsun and others took their seats directly first, while Li Shimin, Li Chengqian, Li Ke and others naturally sat down in the middle first, and the ministers, generals, etc. sat behind them.

"Your Highness, you have some strength. I think Yu Shangshu should learn from you." Li Ke sat down here, and Cheng Yaojin, who happened to be right behind him, couldn't wait to speak.

"Cheng Heizi, what do you mean?" Yu Shinan's expression turned ugly.

"Hey, I don't mean anything. Look at His Highness's organizational skills. It's very organized. It's not like your Ministry of Rites. There are always some accidents in the celebrations held every year." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

Every year in the Tang Dynasty, there will be some celebrations, such as offering sacrifices to heaven and the like. For example, the Temple of Heaven is just outside Mingde Gate, located in the southeast direction of Mingde Gate.

Although the Ministry of Rituals does a good job every year, in fact, there are some minor problems in every sacrifice to heaven. Of course, the problems are not big.
