Chapter 388: Sacrifice to Zhao Mausoleum

Princess Taiping's fear lasted for less than three seconds at most. After calming down, she closed her eyes and raised her jade neck slightly, and gently opened her red lips and said:

"Come on, bad guy!"

Xue Shao was stunned, please, "You are being humiliated by bad people now, okay?" This is too uncooperable!

He kissed Princess Taiping on the lips, and Xue Shao said, "Get up, it's so wet and muddy here."

"I don't want it!" Princess Taiping shouted hurriedly, grabbed Xue Shao's shoulders with both hands and prevented him from getting up, "I just like this!"

Well……

Xue Shao was stunned. Do you still have this hobby?

"Bad man, why don't you kiss me?" Princess Taiping pulled her tighter, her face flushed and simple, and she was so charming.

Xue Shao blinked and looked around. This place was obviously not a good place for wedding banquets.

"Hate, what are you looking around?" Princess Taiping became angry, "We finally had the opportunity to get along alone, why are you half-hearted?"

Xue Shao understood that Princess Taiping grew up in the inner court with strict rules and depressed atmosphere since she was young and Princess Taiping grew up. Now she finally escaped from the cage, and the rebellion suppressed in her heart was released.

No doubt, if Xue Shao wanted to take Princess Taiping to the ends of the world without people now, or put aside the traditional game world, she would cheer.

"Xue Lang, what are you thinking?" Princess Taiping was stunned when she saw Xue Shao and slapped his shoulder twice in depression. "We will hide here for a few days so that they can't find us, okay?"

Xue Shao couldn't help but feel tighter. He must not underestimate the strength of the rebellious girl in Huaji!

"No." Xue Shao picked up Princess Taiping from the ground, held her in her arms with her feet off the ground, and said, "That will the world be in chaos!"

"What's the matter..." Princess Taiping hung Xue Shao's neck, kicked her feet around and raised her mouth, muttering: "My dignified princess, can't she live a few days of a civilian woman's life? Look how wonderful it is, there are lakes with clear water, grasslands, and many trees. You can build a small thatched hut and then catch fish for me! I'm satisfied without getting wet in the rain, not being hungry until I'm hungry! The most important thing is that I can be alone with you! This is the world of the two of us!"

The world of two people...

Xue Shao was a little moved and a little ridiculous. He lowered his head and kissed Princess Taiping's forehead, and said, "When we become a relative, the mansion will be our two-person world. Let's go back today, otherwise Shangguan Wan'er and others will be anxious. Maybe they will even alarm the government and send people to find us all over the mountains and fields."

"Don't bother them!" Princess Taiping curled her lips angrily, "Do you think I really like a lot of people following me all day long? I'm so annoyed that I'm so angry that I'm so eager to get rid of them!"

Xue Shao nodded, it's understandable. I am a person who is used to being alone. If a large number of people are following behind me all day long, I will be annoyed.

"Xue Lang, I want to swim!!" Princess Taiping suddenly pointed at the small lake with a calm and clear surface and shouted excitedly.

"You are wearing this outfit and swimming?" Xue Shao shook his head.

"Then I'll take it off!" Princess Taiping ignored this and urged excitedly, "Hurry up, let me down, I'll take off my clothes!"

"..." Xue Shao was speechless. Do you still have to swim naked?

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"no!"

"I want it! I want it, I want it!"

Just as the two were arguing, two figures flashed out of the woods quickly, one left and one right, like two white lights, hitting ten steps ahead of Xue Shao and Princess Taiping, and both bowed to the ground on one knee.

Don't speak.

Xue Shao and Princess Taiping turned their heads and saw Linlang.

"What are you two sluts coming to do?" Princess Taiping cursed angrily, "Go back!"

"I don't dare!" Linlang knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"You!..." Princess Taiping was so angry.

"Forget it." Xue Shao gently put Princess Taiping on the ground and said, "They are also responsible for your safety. You should be happy with such loyal and capable subordinates."

"Nonsense." Princess Taiping rolled her eyes angrily and glared at Xue Shao, and cursed in a low voice, "I think you are sympathetic and afraid that I will bully them?"

Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "After all, aren't they all your people? They are also our two future retainers."

This made Princess Taiping feel a little comfortable. Her face looked a little better and said in a gullible voice: "The prince consort has pleaded for you, get up!"

"Thank you Your Highness, thank you Young Master!" Linlang stood up, but did not dare to look up at Princess Taiping.

"Oh, it's a disappointment!" Princess Taiping stomped her feet in disappointment, "Go back, go back!"

Linlang hurriedly came forward to put some clothes on, and then used the fragrant powder she carried with her to re-make her makeup. The group left Xiaohu and returned to the driving team.

Xue Shao chose to ride a horse and continued to move forward.

Zhaoling is more than a hundred miles away from Chang'an, and the car was not fast. It was just dark. There were dedicated people guarding and managing and receiving the tomb. Before the arrival of a big man like Princess Taiping, someone had come to prepare for it. Therefore, Xue Shao and Princess Taiping did not have to worry about food, daily life, etc., and just stay at peace.

The next morning, Xue Shao deliberately got up early and visited Zhaoling first. In the 21st century, Xue Shao had seen some photos of Zhaoling on the Internet. More than a thousand years later, the Zhaoling that was stolen was already beyond recognition.

Today, Xue Shao has seen Zhaoling’s true appearance.

The Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong of Tang set a precedent for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to build a tomb on the mountain. The cause is said to be that when Li Shimin's wife Changsun Huangsun passed away, he said that he would "bury him with a frugality", so he chose to open a tomb. The entire Zhaoling Mausoleum covers an area of ​​about 200 square kilometers. The tombs were built in the mountains in the form of Chang'an City. Later, more than 100 ministers or chiefs of foreign races were buried with him.

Xue Shao's parents died in Fangzhou one after another. After the coffin was brought back to Chang'an, they were buried here.

Now, the Zhaoling of Taizong has been regarded as a place where gods are clearly spiritual. The Tang Dynasty even had such an unwritten rule that whenever subjects have wronged, they can cry to Zhaoling. The soldiers returned triumphantly, and the prisoner offering ceremony was often held in Zhaoling. Any major decisions or activities such as sacrificial activities in the country and court must first come to Zhaoling for sacrifice, just like "requesting instructions" of the late Emperor Taizong.

It can be seen from this that the father of the current emperor Li Zhi, Li Shimin, the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty who founded the Zhenguan rule, still occupied an irreplaceable sacred position in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty decades after his death.

After seeing the tombs of Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and others one by one, Xue Shao walked to the Zhengling of Zhaoling and looked up.

Magnificent, magnificent.

Xue Shao actually didn't have much thought of traveling around the mountains and rivers. He was more concerned with a "nostalgic" heart to pay homage to the tombs of these historical celebrities. Once upon a time, they were all making waves in the world, dominating the world, and thousands of troops were destroyed in the blink of an eye, changing to the individual.

But now, they have all been integrated with a piece of loess, and none of the wealth, power and beauty they had in their lifetime can be taken away. Even if there is a city similar to Chang'an and a burial object that is rich enough to the world, the loess is only a piece of loess. They cannot be brought to the underworld, nor can they be taken to the next life.

The only thing that stayed behind was their deeds and reputation, their influence on future generations and their evaluation of them - but do you know these historical celebrities who have turned into a piece of loess?

Standing in front of the Zhaoling Zhengling for a moment, Xue Shao felt a sense of vicissitudes of history.

Life is just like this, life is not brought by death. Since you are born in such an era and in a whirlpool of history, you only need to rely on your conscience to do what you should do. How to be right and wrong? In the eyes of different people and different times, there are different judgments. Where to go, maybe you can only be like the song sings, "Take responsibility for the past life, what plan to judge behind your back"?

Xue Shao slowly let out a long sigh. When he had time to read more history books and visit more humanities and historical sites, he could really increase his experience and insights. A man’s background is nothing more than the accumulation of these experiences and insights.

There was movement behind her. Xue Shao turned around and looked at the distant corridor. There were a large number of people coming from the corridor with clear flags and great momentum. Princess Taiping brought her team to sacrifice.

Xue Shao walked back to meet him. Princess Taiping blinked in surprise when she saw Xue Shao, "Xue Lang, why did you get up early and run here first?"

"I am used to getting up early in the army." Xue Shao smiled, "Are you going to start the sacrifice?"

"She, I will follow her arrangements." Princess Taiping pointed at Xuan Yunzi next to her.

Xuan Yunzi stepped forward and whispered to lightly raise his whisk and bowed, "I have already made arrangements after being advised by Your Highness. Your Highness can now go to Zhengling to worship Emperor Taizong Wen and Empress Wen."

"Okay, let's start!" Princess Taiping sat upright in the phoenix car and stroked her sleeves calmly.

"Yes..." Xuan Yunzi lowered his eyebrows and responded to his promise.

Xue Shao stood aside without interrupting, and vaguely noticed that Xuan Yunzi was looking down and glanced at him.

The meaning in the eyes is complicated.

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er also came up, holding a few rolls of neat white silk in both hands, and said, "Your Highness, I have prepared the sacrifice. Please be kind and righteous."

"Xue Lang, come." Princess Taiping stroked her sleeves calmly again.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Xue Shao took the silk from Shangguan Wan'er's hand, which were several sacrificial articles written by Shangguan Wan'er himself.

It turns out that he has a casual writing and lyrics, and his handwriting is very beautiful and his style is quite generous.

"Very good." Xue Shao took a few glances and folded the silk and returned it to Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er bowed her head and bent down and caught it with her hands, "I'll ask the prince-consort Yazheng."

"I can only be as good as this literary talent. How can I change a word?" Xue Shao said.
