Bring Hokage to Datang

In the spacious and luxurious car, Li Chengming sat quietly on the table inside, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he seemed to be in a fugue.

Today is different from the past. A month ago, Li Chengming only traveled in an ordinary carriage with a guard of ten or twenty people.

But now, he is already the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he will even ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in less than a month. He can no longer travel casually. Even though the ancestral temple is also within the imperial city, this time he will only be accompanied by two guards. There were hundreds of people, not counting the palace maids and warriors who were following the chariot. There were three to four hundred people in total.

Such a scale may seem exaggerated in later generations, but in fact, based on Li Chengming's current status, not only is it not exaggerated, it is even a bit crude.

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been regulations on the emperor's travel specifications. According to the size of the regulations, they are divided into large vehicles, legal vehicles and small vehicles. Among them, the large vehicles must be led by the ministers, the generals participate in the rides, and the imperial servants drive the cars. There are 81 cars. In addition, thousands of chariots must be prepared and more than ten thousand cavalry guards must be prepared. The legal chariots are led by the chief of the capital, attended by attendants, and driven by charioteers, with 36 chariots. The small chariots are attended by one deacon and minister, with a small number of chariots. A few above, but the number of guards is also considerable.

But these are just standing guards, not counting the guides and pilots in the front, the drumbeaters in the back, etc. These alone add up to thousands of people.

The driving speed of the car was not very fast. After about two quarters of an hour, that is, about half an hour, the car finally arrived in front of the ancestral temple while wandering.

The front hall of the ancestral temple is extremely magnificent. There are hundreds of dragon pillars. There are also ninety-nine and eighty-one stone steps to the upper hall. The gate is nine meters high and twenty-seven meters wide. , there are two small doors next to it, but even the small doors are more than one foot high and about three feet wide.

Although he had already seen various palaces in Chang'an Palace, seeing Li's ancestral temple still gave Li Chengming a sense of wonder and wonder.

"Your Highness, the elders have been waiting in the palace for a long time. Please follow me in!" An old eunuch saw Li Chengming getting out of the car and hurriedly came up to greet him and bowed.

After getting out of the car and seeing only a few eunuchs waiting in front of the ancestral temple, Li Chengming couldn't help but curl his lips slightly and gestured to Wang Hu next to him. Wang Hu clasped his fists slightly, then turned and left.

"Lead the way!" After Wang Hu left, Li Chengming said lightly, and then walked into the ancestral temple with his guards.

When the old eunuch saw Wang Hu leaving, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but under Li Chengming's nose, he did not dare to make any small move, and carefully bowed to lead the way.

Under the guidance of the old eunuch, they walked for nearly a quarter of an hour, and finally walked from the front hall to the middle hall. The vague figures of people in the hall could be seen, and it seemed that many people were waiting there.

"Emperor Grandson, Li Chengming is here!" Arriving in front of the palace, the old eunuch who led the way suddenly raised his voice.

Hearing the old eunuch's roll call, Li Chengming suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the old eunuch coldly.

Logically speaking, his previous status was indeed that of the emperor's grandson, but that was before. Ever since Li Chengming obtained the edict of succession from Li Yuan before his death, he is now the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. In such a solemn place as the ancestral temple, he should be It's only right to call him the prince.

But the old eunuch called him the emperor's grandson, which had a different flavor.

In a cannibalistic place like the palace, could such an old eunuch make such a stupid mistake that even he could see? If this is the case, then he will not survive that long at all. The only explanation is that he was instructed by some people.

However, Li Chengming just glanced at him, then calmly stepped over the threshold and walked into the hall.

"How dare you, you are not allowed to enter the ancestral temple's sacrificial place without permission, why don't you get out quickly!" Li Chengming had just stepped into the hall, and the guards behind him were about to follow, but he heard a shout from the hall.

Li Chengming looked up and saw that the person speaking was an old man with a round face. If he remembered correctly, this person was Li Deliang, a member of the Li clan who went to worship Li Yuanzhong the day before yesterday and was named the Xinxing King.

"Haha, Chengming kid is here, come in quickly!" After scolding Li Chengming's personal guards, Li Deliang smiled at Li Chengming again.

Li Chengming glanced at the people in the palace and saw that the others had no reaction whether they heard Li Deliang's scolding or spoke to him. He raised his brows slightly, stretched out his hand and waved to the guards behind him, and then this Then he continued walking into the palace.

There are two rows of seats in the front hall of the ancestral temple, and a seat is placed at the front.

At this time, there were seven or eight old men in python robes sitting in the two rows of barracks in the main hall, all of whom were sitting on their seats and looking at Li Chengming.

Li Chengming walked in with a calm expression, scanning the people in the hall. These people were all the same people who had gone to worship Li Yuan the day before yesterday, and the one with the highest status should be the old man sitting on the far left below the first person. .

This old man can be said to be a person with a high status in the Li Tang royal family. His name is Li Xiong and his courtesy name is Bode. He is Li Yuan's cousin. However, he is not Li Hu's biological grandson, but a descendant of Li Hu's brother Li Tai. But this lineage has followed Li Hu's lineage since Li Hu. Li Yuan also respected this cousin two generations apart and named him the Zongzheng of the Li family to manage the Li family.

"Child Chengming, your seat is here, come and take a seat!" Li Deliang saw Li Chengming walking in and pointed to the lowest seat next to him with a smile.

However, Li Chengming ignored him at all and walked past Li Deliang without looking at the gloomy expression on Li Deliang's face. Then, under the various gazes of these old men, he passed over everyone and walked directly to the top of the front.

"Wait!" Just when Li Chengming was about to sit down, a voice suddenly rang. Li Chengming looked over, and it was Li Xiong who was sitting at the bottom left.

Li Chengming seemed not to have heard anything, and directly moved from the seat at the top, then looked at Li Xiong, who was sitting at the seat on the left, and said, "Emperor Taibo (that's what he should be called, please point out if it's wrong, Thank you!), what can I do for you?"

Seeing that Li Chengming sat unceremoniously on the first seat and ignored him at all, a look of anger flashed across Li Xiong's face, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a soft voice, "Child, Chengming , that’s not the place for you to sit, why don’t you come down quickly?”

Li Chengming glanced at Li Xiong lightly, and then said, "I am now the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and I have received the imperial edict to pass on the throne, and I am the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. As far as I know, the head of the Li family has always been a direct descendant of my Li family. Come and sit, now I am the only one left in the direct line of the Li family, if I cannot sit, who dares to come and sit?"
