Xianyang City was heavily defended. On the city walls, soldiers stood like iron towers, looking around vigilantly.

When the funeral procession arrived at the Xianyang city gate, the soldiers from the three battalions on duty had already received the news in advance. They quickly and orderly opened the city gates and let them in.

You know, Xianyang City is still in a special period now, and it is in a state where people can only enter but not exit.

Unlike Chang'an City, the funeral procession entering Xianyang City did not cause a huge sensation like in Chang'an.

Most of the people here just glanced at the funeral procession indifferently and left quickly in a hurry, as if they didn't care about the life or death of Li Shimin, the emperor who once dominated the world.

According to the previous rules of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's coffin had to be kept in the palace for a month before the funeral ceremony could be held.

However, Li Chengqian, relying on his keen intuition, anticipated that the Tang Dynasty would enter a busy and critical stage, so he resolutely simplified all procedures.

In his opinion, the most important thing is to let his father go to Zhaoling to accompany his mother as soon as possible.

If another emperor had done this, he would have been criticized and scolded by the civil servants with their pens.

But Li Chengqian is different. In the current Tang Dynasty court, more than half of the officials are students he trained in Xianyang. These students are loyal to him and follow his lead.

The other half are the old ministers who are dedicated to doing practical things. Although they are upright, they also understand Li Chengqian's great talents and strategies, so they will not easily go against him.

Xianyang City's main street was the only way for the funeral procession. At that moment, Wen Ruchu, dressed in plain clothes, stood solemnly in the middle of the street with officials of all ranks in Xianyang City.

They had been waiting here quietly for two hours. Everyone had a tired look on their face, but they still maintained a solemn attitude.

"My lord, my lord, here we come!"

An official with sharp eyes saw the funeral procession slowly approaching in the distance and quickly spoke out to remind them.

Wen Ruchu heard the sound and saw the funeral procession from afar. He took a deep breath, adjusted himself slightly, and then began to cry loudly.

The crying was so sad, as if it wanted to vent all the sorrow in her heart.

Upon seeing this, the officials of all ranks in Xianyang behind Wen Ruchu also burst into tears. The cries echoed in the streets, making people cry.

The cries of the people in charge of crying in the funeral procession echoed those of officials of all ranks in Xianyang City. For a moment, the whole street was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.

When the funeral procession reached the designated location, Wen Ruchu fell to his knees with a thud. He placed his hands on the ground, pressed his forehead tightly against the ground, and cried out at the top of his lungs, "The late emperor! The late emperor!"

Those cries were filled with remembrance and reluctance to part with the late emperor.

Even the Xianyang officials who worked with him couldn't help but give a thumbs up in their hearts and praise the top leader of Xianyang!

This is the calmness of the old actor!

The Chief Secretary of Xianyang bowed to the people who came to welcome the funeral procession, and then arranged for them to settle down in the Songhua Courtyard of Xianyang City in an orderly manner.

Songhuating can be said to be the center of Xianyang City. It is very lively here, just like a modern large shopping mall.

Songhua Court has two floors, with many shops and various small shops lined up side by side.

This place is simply a paradise for eating, drinking and having fun. There is nothing that Songhuating cannot do, except what people cannot think of.

The common people in Xianyang City called it "Heaven on Earth", which shows their love for Songhua Courtyard.
