The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

It's snowing heavily in Chang'an.

Two hundred and fifty thousand troops were lined up in formation, with banners stretching for dozens of miles. It was so majestic that it was frightening to see.

Following Jieli Khan's order, the army began to attack the city.

After Li Changqing led the white-robed army to Youzhou, Chang'an was depleted of troops, with only 30,000 Xuanjia troops and 50,000 Imperial Guards guarding Chang'an.

A few days ago, Li Shimin launched a mutiny, and the Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Guard fought a bloody battle in the imperial city.

As a result, the two armies combined now have only 50,000 soldiers capable of fighting!

With fifty thousand troops, how could they defend the menacing 250,000 foreign army?

The city of Chang'an was filled with gloom and gloom, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

In the wine shop, the people were all talking about it.

Among them, there are some who are extremely optimistic and some who are very pessimistic.

"Chang'an is guarded by the Xuanjia Army and the Imperial Guard. Even if it is not an opponent of the 250,000 Turkic army, it can still hold on until local reinforcements arrive."

"At the end of October, 300,000 Turkic troops attacked Youzhou, but in the end they withdrew in embarrassment, leaving 45,000 lives behind. Although the Xuanjia Army is not as good as the White Robe Army, it is still famous all over the world. The King of Qin will definitely be able to resist the Turkic invasion!"

"Jie Li, King Wu’s general was defeated! I only hope that King Qin can turn the tide, like King Wu, who defeated Jieli Khan until he lost his armor!"

……

Luoyang, the camp of the Detachment of Women.

After Li Changqing left Chang'an, Li Xiuning did not stay in Chang'an, but came to Luoyang.

During her time in Luoyang, she formed a 20,000-strong women's army and trained her soldiers in the same way that Li Changqing trained the white-robed army.

Part of this 20,000-strong Detachment of Women was Li Xiuning’s old unit in the Jinyang Detachment of Women, and the other part was slave women from foreign races such as Rouran and Xianbei.

After a month of training, the Detachment of Women has already achieved initial results.

In the general's camp, Li Xiuning was wearing white armor, holding a volume of military literature and studying it carefully. Suddenly, a shadow guard came in and reported:

"The deputy commander-in-chief, Turk Jieli Khan, led an army of 250,000 troops, broke through Yumen Pass, and went south from Longxi, deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains. This morning, 250,000 troops have arrived at the Wei River and are approaching Chang'an City! Hearing this

, Li Xiuning was shocked and murmured to himself:"The Turkic army is pressing on the border, and Chang'an is empty of troops. There is absolutely no possibility of resisting!"

She stood up suddenly and ordered her guards to the left and right:"Hurry up and gather the army in front of the formation!" Chang'an is in trouble, and I want to lead a large army to help Chang'an!"

The personal guards took the order and quickly went down to summon the Detachment of Women.

In the evening, the 20,000 Detachment of Detachment were assembled and set off from Luoyang to rush to Chang'an under the starry night!

……

The ninth day of November, Hai hour.

It took the court angels six days to rush to Youzhou.

When the angel who read the imperial edict entered the Tiance Mansion, the Chief of the Tiance Mansion did not dare to neglect him and personally entertained him and said respectfully:

"Angel, please come and sit in the hall for a while. The general is discussing matters with your lords in the council hall. I will order my servant to inform the general."

The angel who read out the imperial edict was an official of the Hanlin Academy.

He knew that Li Changqing was going to be crowned King of Side by Side, and it was too late to flatter him. How dare anyone disturb Li Changqing's discussions with his advisers and generals?

He quickly said:"Chief Minister, please don't be upset because of my arrival. Excuse me, King Wu. I’ll just wait in the hall!"

He waited for two hours.

After two hours, Li Changqing came to the lobby with all the advisers and generals under his command. The angel immediately stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said:"Zhao Shilin of the Hanlin Academy, see King Wu!"

"King Wu? Li Changqing was stunned. Just as he was about to ask, Zhao Shilin had already begun to read out the imperial edict.

"Under the sect, the foundation of the world, I bear the spring destiny of Haotian, and the edict says: My son will be evergreen, attack the Turks from the north, and make great achievements that shock the world, and promote the power of the Tang Dynasty! Today, he is granted the title of King Bingjian, and his royal title is Wu. Wude first year, the fourth day of November."

After the edict was read out, Zhao Shilin bowed to the end and presented the edict with both hands.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, all the calm advisers, The generals who were still more impatient were silent on the spot, their eyes widened, and their faces were full of disbelief.

After a long time, the whole place was filled with gasps.

Fang Xuanling was so excited that he trembled all over. One person sighed with emotion:"King side by side! The king's name is Wu! From now on, we will stand side by side with the emperor and share the country with the emperor! Throughout the ages, except for generals, no one has ever received this honor!"

Du Ruhui was also full of excitement and took the lead in paying homage to Li Changqing.

"I, Du Ruhui, come to see King Wu!"

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin and others also hurriedly bowed down and saluted Li Changqing.

"Cheng Yaojin, please see King Wu!"

"Your Majesty, Chi Gong, comes to see King Wu!"

In an instant, all the advisers and generals under Li Changqing bowed down to worship.

The servants of Tiance Mansion were also very discerning. Seeing this, they also saluted Li Changqing one after another.

After everyone had finished the worship ceremony, Zhao Shilin took out another set of Gon Mian, offered it with both hands, and said:

"King Wu, this is King Gunmian side by side.

Due to the suddenness of the imperial edict, King Bingjian's crown had not yet been produced.

His Majesty specially ordered the embroidery room in the palace to take a set of emperor's crowns and modify them on the basis of the emperor's crowns.

Side by side, Wang Gong's crown is in the same format as the emperor's crown.

The only difference is the color. The emperor wears yellow robes, while the king wears gold robes."

Side by side Wang Gun's crown was handed over, and Fang Xuanling immediately called two maids to put on the Gong robe for Li Changqing and put on the God's crown.

Because the robe was embroidered with dragon-shaped patterns and the format was the same as the emperor's crown, so Side by side Wang's crown was also called Dragon robe, dragon gun.

On the dragon robe, there are embroidered nine-headed dragons. One on the chest, one on the back, one on the left and right shoulders, two on the front and rear knees, and one on the inside of the skirt.

Why should the dragon robe be embroidered? What about the nine dragons? And they are still nine five-clawed golden dragons.

Because the ancient emperors were influenced by the Book of Changes and advocated the Nine-Five Supreme.

As the saying goes: Nine-Five, flying dragons are in the sky, which is beneficial to adults.

It means that this dragon has flown into the sky, which means that It has reached the highest level.

It is also for this reason that the numbers nine and five are often used in royal buildings, furniture and living containers.

Li Changqing wears a dragon robe and an emperor's crown, which lacks the power of the armor, but has more Endless majesty!

He just stood there and didn't have to do anything, and the majestic pressure surged out, making people afraid and afraid to look directly!
