Chapter Forty-Nine: The Rite of Worship to the Heavens, the Old Man

Feng Zhidai did not stay in Chang'an for long, and after meeting His Majesty, he purchased a batch of goods, and before coming, he came to Shufu again to say goodbye.

Shu An naturally couldn't keep it, after all, the grain of 200,000 stones had to be transported in batches, which was naturally as soon as possible, so he also wished that Feng Zhidai would go back as soon as possible.

The winter solstice is coming, and on this day, the palace holds a ceremony to welcome the sun and worship the sky, and Shu An naturally will not miss it.

It may not be so easy for others to enter the palace, but Shu An understands that he is not among them, and he is just a simple mention of the hundred horsemen who have always picked up Li Tai and the two.

There was a reply the next day, waiting for the day of the winter solstice, someone came to pick him up and enter the palace, although he could only watch from afar, but for Shu An, he also fulfilled a small wish.

The quaint and sacred ceremonial music sounded in the solemn court, and after nine drums, the majestic Tang Shenwu Army and the solemn Emperor Luan drove out, and the majestic and atmospheric demeanor was shocking.

Even saw the appearance of the eldest grandson Wujian in the end, which made it clear that the uniqueness and charm of the sacrifice to the sky were obvious.

Shu An's eyes flickered, at this time, the eldest grandson Wujian was no longer the daughter who didn't grow up in his eyes, but the queen of the world.

The great spectacle is worthy of the sacrifice to the heavens, and it is important to know that in this era, the worship of the heavens is the highest ceremony of all the rituals.

The emperor sacrificed to the sky and prayed for the peace of the country and the people in the coming year, and the wind and rain were smooth, which can be said to be a vision, but it was a pity that he knew that the heavens would not be friendly to this emperor in the coming year.

"Huh!"

Shu An couldn't help but wonder, because he seemed to see a familiar figure, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, could it be.

"Little eunuch, what kind of palace is this?"

Shu An couldn't help but ask, after he entered the palace, Wang De, the chief eunuch, had already arranged for a little eunuch to lead the way for him.

"An Xuangong, there is Taiji Palace in front."

The little eunuch said respectfully, as if he was worried that Shu An was dissatisfied, and the chief manager had already explained before he came, this one was the world-famous An Xuangong, and there could be no accidents.

If this one is dissatisfied, then he will not have enough heads.

Really!

Shu Anxin secretly said, as the choice of worshipping the heavens, it is naturally in the largest palace in the palace, but there is some embarrassment that the current Li Yuan has not moved out of the Taiji Palace.

Presumably, this vocal voice would be strange if Li Yuan hadn't heard it, so the figure he saw just now shouldn't be wrong.

Speaking of which, the relationship between him and Li Yuan is still okay, and when they were in Taiyuan, the two often drank and talked about the past and the present.

However, the time did not last long, Li Yuan began the road to dominate the world, and he soon began to travel and lecture.

Of course, in the last years of the great cause, Shu An naturally would not run around casually, and Taiyuan was naturally the safest place at the beginning.

By the time of the first year of Wude, the situation was much more stable, and Shu An began to lecture in some of the safe areas occupied by the Tang Dynasty.

"Lead the way."

Shu An couldn't help but shake his head slightly and said, since he came, he didn't see each other, but it was a little too much to say.

"An Xuangong, is there something wrong with this?"

It's just that the little eunuch said with a hint of hesitation on his face, you must know that the emperor is a taboo for His Majesty.

Usually, no ministers dare to come and go, but occasionally a few princes will come to visit.

"It's okay, you can lead the way, if there is something, just say that I, An Xuan, insist on this."

Shu An couldn't help but smile and said, there may be many people in Chang'an City who want Li Yuan to re-ascend the throne, but this person can never be him.

It seems that Li Yuan seems to be deliberately avoiding him, presumably there must be some embarrassment, after all, the identities of the two were different in the past.

Li Yuan became the emperor, and he was only a great Confucian in the world, and now Li Yuan was forced to abdicate and become the emperor in the twilight, which was like being confined in the deep palace.

On the contrary, he took a step further on the basis of the mainland and became the world-famous An Xuangong.

Presumably this is what Li Yuan thinks at this time, but he is going to see each other, how to say that he is a former friend.

He once had few friends, and the longer he lived, the more lonely he became, and the few friends he had were either killed in the war or died of illness.

Even because of the maturity of his mind at the beginning, the friends he made were much older than him, and this era was basically the limit.

"Brother Shude, don't you open the door to see your old friends when they come?"

Shu An looked at the closed palace gate and couldn't help but say out loud, he was not in a hurry, presumably Li Yuan should have a lot to say at this time.

If you want to find someone to talk to, you should be the best person to count, after all, there are not many people Li Yuan can contact.

"Squeak!"

Sure enough, after a while, the palace gate slowly opened.

A cloaked figure of an old man appeared, making Shu An's face stunned, is this still Li Yuan.

"An Xuan, long time no see."

Li Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale and he said with a hint of vicissitudes, his words were full of a lot of sadness, and only he knew the pain in his heart.

As for Shu An's words calling himself, he didn't care, but it made Li Yuan, who was imprisoned in the deep palace, feel warm in his heart.

Because Shu An obviously treats him as a friend, after experiencing the loneliness of the emperor and then the loss of the emperor, Li Yuan is now more sensitive.

"Brother Shude, we haven't seen each other for so many years, so it's better to find a place to sit."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, and at the same time, he took a step forward and couldn't help but focus on the palace, there were broken vases everywhere, obviously just smashed.

originally wanted to go in and sit down, but finally sat directly on the stairs in front of the door, and Li Yuan also sat down without any hesitation.

"Don't get out of here!"

Li Yuan glared fiercely at the eunuchs around him and said loudly, and his words gave Shu An the feeling that he was an elderly lion king guarding his territory.

"Yes, the Emperor!"

The eunuch trembled and said, not daring to stay at all, the emperor raised his temper, and it was only them who suffered.

"An Xuan, I feel bitter in my heart."

As if seeing that the eunuch had gone away, Li Yuan said with a wry smile.

Shu An showed a look of curiosity on his face, this time he came to be regarded as an audience, and the facts about history Li Yuan were very miserable.

However, Li Yuan at this time should be regarded as the most confused period, only a year has passed since the change of Xuanwu Gate.

"Brother Shude, it's just the two of us now, it's okay to have something to say, and it's uncomfortable to be stuffy in my heart."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, but this sentence could be regarded as opening Li Yuan's words, and the emperor began to speak.
