Li Lizhi packed Xiao Ran's things and sent him to the garage of the manor.
Xiao Lizi and Qian Duoduo went to play with some princesses.
"It's cold outside, come back early!"
It was indeed very cold on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Okay, I'll remember that." Xiao Ran got in the car and started it. He saw in the rearview mirror that Li Lizhi had not left, but was staring at Xiao Ran's car.
Compared to when we first met, Li Lizhi has lost her youthfulness and immaturity, and has become more mature, dignified, gentle and virtuous.
She looks more and more like Empress Zhangsun, and as the eldest daughter, she also has the influence of Wende.
She inherited most of the advantages of Empress Changsun.
Zhaoling is actually quite far from Chang'an City, about 80 kilometers. It's too slow to walk there, but fortunately we have a car.
There were a lot of people on the road. At first, Xiao Ran thought they were going to Chang'an City for fun, but later he found something wrong. They were all heading towards Zhaoling.
Xiao Ran also stopped the car and asked, and found out that they were all going to Zhaoling to pay homage to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.
Many people brought offerings for worship.
During the Zhenguan period, the people were well fed and clothed, and most of the credit goes to Emperor Li Shimin.
Many people are grateful to this emperor from the bottom of their hearts.
The Tang Dynasty's external expansion in the past decade or so has made countless people of the Tang Dynasty proud.
All of this was achieved under the wise leadership of Li Shimin.
Xiao Ran picked up the intercom and called Li Chengqian.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Soon Xiao Ran got a response, "Young Master, what's the matter?"
Li Chengqian's way of addressing Xiao Ran has never changed.
"Many people have spontaneously gone to Zhaoling, bringing offerings to pay their respects to my uncle and aunt. The journey is long, so please see if it's convenient to arrange a bus to come over!"
Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
In the first year when Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun were away, many people wanted to go to pay their respects on New Year's Day. This influence was moving.
Xiao Ran hung up the intercom and said, "Some people are already dead while they are alive, while some people are still alive after they die. If you could see this, you would be happy too!"
Li Chengqian was quite capable and had been handling state affairs for more than 20 years without any problems.
However, Li Chengqian's personal charm, influence, and cohesion were far inferior to those of Li Shimin.
Because this father is so outstanding, Li Chengqian, his son, is so great.
Xiao Ran saw more and more people on the road, some walking, some with ox carts and horse carts. Xiao Ran even saw an H6 with the license plate "Xue 0001"
The license plates of the Tang Dynasty are related to the surnames.
Xue Rengui was granted the title of Duke for his military achievements, and he was the first person in the Xue family to own a car.
This was a reward from Li Shimin.
Xiao Ran honked the horn and Xue Rengui stopped the car.
Only then did Xiao Ran see that the car was full of people, including Qin Huaiyu, Wei Shuyu and other second-generation people.
Not only was it a tribute to Li Shimin, but Qin Qiong and Wei Zheng were also buried with him in Zhaoling Mausoleum, so they could also go and see their father.
"Your Highness!"
"Well, your car seems a bit crowded. Please send some people to my side!" Xiao Ran shouted.
"Aren't the princesses coming together?" Cheng Chumo asked.
"No!"
Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo hurriedly got out of the car, opened Xiao Ran's door and got in.
"I didn't expect that on New Year's Day, instead of going to Chang'an City to play, so many people went to Zhaoling." Qin Huaiyu said with red eyes.
Xiao Ran and his companions had not expected this situation, nor had Li Lizhi and several princesses in the manor, nor had Li Chengqian in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City.
Obviously, everyone underestimated Li Shimin's status and influence in the hearts of the people.
Although they did not follow Li Shimin to conquer the world, it does not affect the fact that Li Shimin is the undisputed number one idol in the hearts of these second generations.
"Oh! The late emperor is not here, and I feel empty inside..." Cheng Chumo also said.
A few people were chatting while walking towards Zhaoling Mausoleum.
......
Inside the manor, the little princess walked out of the room and saw that only Li Lizhi and several palace maids were in the hall.
Looking at Li Lizhi, the little princess was a little dazed. At first glance, she looked too much like Empress Changsun.
The little princess walked into the hall with red eyes, sat down next to Li Lizhi, hugged her and cried, "Sister, I miss my grandpa and mom..."
Li Lizhi gently held the little princess in her arms, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Was I an old-fashioned grandpa before?"
Li Lizhi shook her head. "That's not to make Grandpa angry. Grandpa isn't angry either."
What Li Lizhi said was true, it really didn't happen.
"Where is my young master? I want to go to Zhaoling to see my grandparents. Please come with me!" The little princess looked around.
"He said he wanted to go out for a walk, so he went to Zhaoling Mausoleum alone."
"Sister, let's go too!"
"Okay!" Li Lizhi didn't want to take her sisters with her before because she was afraid that her sisters would be reminded of her parents and feel sad.
Now I think it’s better to go and have a look. Li Lizhi also wants to go and have a look.
Princess Yuzhang left the room with her phone. "My brother just said that the young master told him that many people went to Zhaoling to pay homage to my grandfather and mother. He prepared a bus. Should we go too?"
"Go, get ready, and go over there!" said Li Lizhi.
Xiao Ran and his companions drove quite fast and were among the first group to arrive at Zhaoling.
The soldiers responsible for guarding Zhaoling knew Xiao Ran and Xue Rengui and others and did not stop them.
These second-generations are now among the military leaders, especially Xue Rengui, the leader of the younger generation.
Many acquaintances feel very uncomfortable.
In front of Jie Li's tomb, Xiao Ran didn't expect that Songtsen Gampo had arrived so early.
"Your Highness, several generals..."
"Are you riding a horse?" Cheng Chumo asked.
"No, I ride a motorcycle. Motorcycles are faster." After Jie Li left, Songtsen Gampo often felt lonely.
There's one less person to talk to.
Before, Xiao Ran thought that the King of Goguryeo was coming and the three of them could play Landlord. Unexpectedly, the King of Goguryeo could not bear the blow and chose to commit suicide on the way.
He thought he would be humiliated and killed after arriving in Chang'an City, but in fact Li Shimin did not want to kill him.
A few people went to see the others first, including Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, Xiao Yu, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, whom they had never seen before.
Fang Mou, Du Duan, and Wei Pen are all gone...
When paying homage, no one forgot Zhang Ananda, who accompanied Li Shimin throughout his life.
He is the only eunuch buried in Zhaoling Mausoleum, and this honor is unique.
Normally, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the royal mausoleum, but when Li Chengqian learned of the situation, he sent troops to help maintain order and ordered that no one should be prevented from entering Zhaoling to pay homage to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.
"Uncle, did you see that? Your people haven't forgotten you..." Xiao Ran opened the wine and poured out two glasses.
Xue Rengui and his companions did not disturb him, leaving Xiao Ran alone to talk to Li Shimin's tombstone.
In the seventh year of Zhenguan, many people discovered that Xiao Ran had a special identity and an unusual relationship with Li Shimin. After so many years, Xiao Ran and Li Shimin remained the same.
