Chapter 211 Emperor Wu (Thanks for the monthly ticket in the hot July~)
In fact, this is the first time that Emperor Wu held such a large-scale Wanshou Festival after he ascended the throne.
In previous years, after the ministers presented gifts, Emperor Wu and his children who were still there had a meal together.
Furthermore, other emperors did not really have to ride horses to review the army on their Wanshou Festival.
After all, there are no emperors who are brave and good at fighting, can mount a horse and become a general, can command battles, and have extraordinary martial arts skills. Emperor Taizong is one of them.
But during Taizong's reign, he did not say that the emperor would go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to review the soldiers on his birthday.
Emperor Wu was extraordinary.
What she said to the ministers was, "The seat I took from Emperor Gaozong relied on hundreds of thousands of soldiers to secure this chair. I want to go and see it on my birthday." What do you think is wrong with the soldiers who secured my throne?”
What can the civil servants say when they hear this?
She won’t listen to you if you reason; you can’t beat her with force.
What else is there to say?
It was just that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War had another three days and three nights of war of words over the ritual process.
So, the news spread out in Jingzhao Mansion.
On the first day of Wanshou Festival, Emperor Wu will not only appear in person, but also come out of Zhuque Street to review the soldiers at the Beijing suburb camp north of Shilipo outside the city.
And later he said that not only that, he would also receive gifts from the people at the Imperial City Tower, which would be great.
Not to mention wealthy people, even people living in the three outer cities all want to go to the roadside to see what the emperor looks like.
With Chang'an as the center, it radiates directly outwards, not to mention the ten-mile slope. There are hundreds of miles away from the ten-mile slope, and there are many people who want to come to Chang'an to see it.
So, when the gate of the square opened, Li Sanniang and the others waited here for nearly two-quarters of an hour. The whole family bought and ate it from a shop selling sesame cakes on the street, and waited for a while. , the queue started to move.
Li Sanniang looked out of the car window with Luzhu'er in her arms. Although there are usually police patrolmen wearing dark blue clothes and hats with knives on their waists on this street, but now she looked at There were five or six people standing on one side alone.
Not to mention there are more than ten at the square gate, and there are two pairs of Jinwu Guards on the entire road. Li Sanniang has seen no less than three pairs from just now to now.
After leaving the square gate, Nineteen wanted to hurry up and catch the car, but the road was really full of people and cars. Although there were soldiers on the side to maintain order and let people pass by in an orderly manner, it was impossible to go fast. .
"If we wait until we get to Zhuque Street, we won't have time to find a place. Even if we finally find it, we probably won't be able to see the saint."
Sister-in-law Li opposite Li Sanniang Looking at this, he said so.
The second brother Li said at this time: "Sister-in-law, as long as we can get there. I paid the deposit for the teahouse early and reserved a table on the second floor."
“Hey, second brother, you can do it, you actually planned to do it in advance.”
At this time, Nineteen also said: "The relationship is so good. Which teahouse did Brother Li reserve a seat at? I do know a trail. Let's take a shortcut and we will definitely be faster than them!"
After working in a hurry for more than an hour, we finally arrived at the gate of Anyefang.
The road was so crowded that the donkey couldn't move very fast. Li Dalang and the three of them took turns to sit on the carriage shaft with Brother Li, and they didn't feel tired at all.
On the other hand, Koshiro, who was sitting in the car, really wanted to run around the car like his brothers.
Sister-in-law Li held him down and patted his butt twice, and Xiao Shiro finally calmed down.
After a troublesome meal, she entered the square gate and rushed to the teahouse that Brother Li mentioned. Li Sanniang was keen to hear the sound of drums. It was not the kind of small drums played by people playing in acrobatics. The sound of a big drum beating in front.
The sound of "dong dong" became increasingly clear, and by the time they reached the street of the teahouse, Sister-in-law Li and the others could hear it. "It's the sound of drums!"
Li Dalang's words were nodded by Brother Li, "It seems that the saint has left the palace. Hurry, let's pay the money and go up Go and wait on the second floor.”
Li Dalang followed Nineteen to find the boy in the teahouse shop to pay the fee for taking care of the carriage and horse.
Of course, this donkey cart cannot be parked at the door of a teahouse casually. There is a special place for parking horses and carts. Just tell the boy and hand over the money, and a boy will help you pull it. Get there.
There is a special person to take care of the place, who can also clean up the excrement of livestock and drink horses and donkeys.
As soon as we entered the teahouse, a boy came to greet us, "Is it Dr. Li here? Come on, please take a seat. The seat by the window on the second floor that Dr. Li appointed has been reserved."
Li Sanniang and the others followed the boy to the second floor. As soon as Li Sanniang reached the corner of the stairs, she looked up and saw that there were already three or four tables of guests sitting on the second floor.
The boy was very discerning. When he saw Li Sanniang's question, he immediately said, "Isn't this the saint who wants to pass outside the city on this road? Everyone wanted to take a look, so they came early. .”
Brother Li only booked a table, which could seat eight people if it was a little crowded.
There was no other way, so I told the waiter and borrowed two stools, so that a group of ten people could sit on them.
Everyone sat down, and the waiter also served tea. Brother Li also ordered three plates of snacks.
Li Sanniang held Luzhu'er and held a tea cup, but it was filled with water. Next to Mrs. Li was Xiao Silang. They were chatting and looking out the window.
At this time, Li Sanniang discovered that both sides of Zhuque Street were already filled with soldiers wearing golden armor.
Li Sanniang understood, it was time to clear the place.
Let’s just say, this is Emperor Wu, how could he just let the common people have access to it.
The drums are getting louder and louder.
When Emperor Wu rode his horse to the gate of Tai Chi Palace, he saw hundreds of officials and her children waiting there.
Emperor Wu did not dismount, nodded to everyone, and ran to the gate of the imperial city at the lead.
Then there were left the ministers in red round-collared robes who looked at each other in disbelief, as well as the descendants of Emperor Wu and the princes who had long been used to it.
The Prime Minister shook his head, saluted everyone, turned around and left. Today he has to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to wait for Emperor Wu one step ahead.
This was not the first time that everyone knew about Emperor Wu's way of doing things. After several big bosses represented by Lou Shide said a few words, everyone dispersed. Everyone had their own positions and what they should do. Go ahead and do whatever you want, but don't waste time and make things worse.
When Li Sanniang was answering the question of why Lu Zhuer could not take Xiao Huang out with her, she heard the uniform sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground.
This is a military horse! At least a hundred riders!
This was the sound when Li Sanniang was assassinated in Yongpingfang, and the Jinwu Guards who finally came to the rescue came galloping on horseback.
Emperor Wu is coming!
My heart is excited and my hands are shaking!
That’s Emperor Wu!
Li Sanniang moved her stool towards the window, raised her head and looked hard ahead.
It was still too far away, and all one could see was the person in the black uniform riding a black horse, followed by a group of golden people.
