One of the hot-blooded Chang'an, drunk Chang'an

Today's blessing, there is one last step.The emperor had to go up to the gate tower of Zhuque in person, sprinkle the water after praying under the gate of Zhuque, and then share the blessing of God's blessing to the Tang Dynasty with the people waiting on Zhuque Street.

Ever since leprosy patients broke into Chang'an City, the bleak Chang'an streets have not seen the bustling scene of the people for a long time.

As a result, the Jinwu Guard seems to have almost caught the leprosy patients. Even if there are fish that slip through the net, a single tree will never grow into a forest. For the common people, the fear is much less.Secondly, seeing His Majesty's experience in person can happen several times in one's life, and the common people naturally don't want to miss such an opportunity.

Originally, Samodoro didn't want to join in the fun today. After all, he seemed reluctant to go to any occasion where he had to kneel down.

However, when it comes to making money, it's a different story.

When His Majesty was still offering sacrifices in the ancestral temple, a large number of onlookers had already gathered on Suzaku Avenue, and the crowd was bustling and lively.

The Jinwu Guard divided the crowd on both sides of the street, and the sun was already shining brightly.Suzaku Street is not like Fangshi, there is neither shade nor stalls for buying and selling food.Some of the people who came early in the morning to take up their seats and waited for a long time were already thirsty and tired.

Samodoro was not interested in crowd watching. When everyone was pushing forward desperately, he brought his own unique equipment and leisurely peddled various candied melon seeds behind the crowd.Samo even prepared a wooden cart of fruits, and let the dubious help sell them together - anyway, Fanshe still has no business today, and even Gongsun and Siniang went to sleep late without a temper.

Around noon, Samodoro left a few peaches on the wooden cart. He squatted beside the wooden cart, happily counting the copper coins in the money bag.After counting it once, he handed out the one that should be given to the nonsense.

Dumbly took the money, happily burrowed into the crowd.Seeing that the emperor was about to come, the two of them also planned to see what the emperor and the ladies in the palace looked like.

Samo touched a peach, rubbed it casually on his body, took a bite, then pushed the wooden cart, intending to go around the Fangshi behind and go to the West Market.

At this moment, the emperor's call came from a distance, and under the management of the Jinwu Guard, the people on the entire Suzaku Street knelt together in a crowd.

Standing behind the crowd, Samodoro, who was still holding a peach in his mouth, suddenly became very eye-catching.The Jinwu Guard who stopped in front saw him at a glance, pointed his long knife at Sam, and knelt down with him.

Samodoro took a bite of the peach angrily, chewed twice vigorously, rolled his eyes at the Jinwu Guard, then threw away the wooden cart in his hand, and squatted down at the back of the crowd with his chin propped up.From the front row, it is not much different from those kneeling common people.

Li Shimin boarded the tower of Zhuquemen, accompanied by Concubine Wei and Layman Lichen.Behind Li Shimin, there was a row of relatives of the emperor and a row of important court officials. It could be seen that Li Shimin still attached great importance to today, especially after the previous rumors spread.

Samodoro glanced at the people on the tower, no matter whether they were relatives of the emperor or important officials of the court, there was no sign of Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty is really worried about the people, even the Fox Immortal has been invited." When the people saw the Layman Lichen on the tower, many of them started whispering. They forgot the previous rumors and praised the emperor one after another. Sincere prayers.

"...Blessed by the Son of Heaven, offering sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, praying for good weather, and blessings for all people in the world..." Above the Suzaku Gate, the Minister of Rites held a scroll and recited.

Under the city gate, the people were silent and listened intently.After all, so many people's fathers and brothers are in the army, who would not want to have peace in the frontier, my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will never die.Whether it is officials or common people, no one wants Chang'an City to restore a prosperous and happy life.

After finishing the recitation of the Minister of Rites, Li Shimin was asked to pour the water of Fuze under the city gate to soak the land of Chang'an.

Li Shimin took the glazed cup from Layman Lichen's hand, and poured the water down in one go.Seeing this situation, the people of Chang'an knelt down one after another and shouted for Your Majesty's sage.

At this time, from the other end of Suzaku Avenue, there was suddenly the sound of galloping horseshoes.The scene was originally silent, but the sudden sound of horseshoes was very eye-catching. Everyone's eyes were attracted, even Li Shimin above the city gate also noticed the movement here.

A war horse galloped towards Suzaku Gate from far to near.A man covered in blood was lying weakly on the back of a horse.

"Look, it's a soldier!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Some of the Jinwu guards along the way wanted to stop the war horse, but the horse's hooves flew all the way and rushed to the door of Suzaku.Several Jinwu guards guarding under the city gate rushed forward, held the reins, and finally managed to control the horse, without breaking into the imperial city all the way.

The horse stopped, and the man on the horse, blood soaked through the back of his clothes, seemed to be dying.At this moment, the man struggled to open his eyes and fell off the horse.

"This is a soldier who came back from the frontier!"

"Seeing that he is covered in blood, could it be that he was defeated again?"

"What should I do? My Alang is still in the army, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead!"

The appearance of this blood-soaked soldier completely broke the tranquility of the scene. Even if there were Jinwu Guards to maintain order, the common people couldn't help but looked up and wanted to find out.

"What's going on with the noise down here?" The sudden change made Li Shimin's face flash with displeasure.I don't know if it's because of the recent fasting and poor rest, there seems to be a black patch under his eyes.

Because it was soldiers who came, Gu Mingzhang, Minister of the Ministry of War, heard the emperor's question, and immediately went down the city gate to check the situation.

"Your majesty... tell your majesty... Liangzhou city... can't be defended any longer." Seeing Gu Mingzhang, the soldier tremblingly took out the blood-stained battle report from his bosom, and said out of breath.When Gu Mingzhang received the battle report, the soldier closed his eyes and passed out.

The soldier's voice was not loud, but many people near the city gate still heard his words.For a moment, there seemed to be an explosion among the crowd.

"It's over! Liangzhou City is broken!"

"My God, the Turks are coming!"

"How to do how to do!"

"Your Majesty's blessings are useless at all, God will not bless Datang anymore!"

Among the people, there were all kinds of voices, as if everyone was speaking, but they couldn't tell which sentence and who said it.Even if the Jinwu Guard wanted to stop everyone, how could they be able to stop everyone.

Gu Mingzhang ordered the soldier to be carried down for treatment, but judging by his appearance, it was more than auspicious.Gu Mingzhang took the bloody battle report, returned to the city gate, and handed the battle report to Li Shimin.

Seeing the words on it, Li Shimin's face darkened instantly.The city of Liangzhou was already in turmoil, and the general Shen Hai died for the country.

"Go back to the palace!" At this moment, it is no longer a matter of praying for blessings.Li Shimin held the battle report in his hands, named the names of all the important officials, and planned to return to the palace immediately to discuss countermeasures.

Suddenly, the emperor, who had only taken three steps, fell straight down before reaching the stairs, unconscious.

Naturally, the abnormal situation above cannot escape the eyes of the people under the city gate.For a while, up and down, into a mess, screams, cries, rang out.

Samodoro retreated to the back of the crowd, resting his chin on one hand, lost in thought.
