Datang's journey to death
Chapter 69
After hearing the bell, Li Ke turned his head to look at Pei Xuan reflexively. The expression on Pei Xuan's face instantly became a little indescribable, as if he was suddenly awakened during sleepwalking. It was the first time that the green eyes clearly expressed the disbelief of the master.
Neither he nor Li Ke thought that they didn't even see Li Yuan for the last time. In fact, the two of them rushed over as quickly as possible after receiving the news.how come?It was just a fall. It has not been a few hours since Pei Xuan saw Li Yuan last time. For a moment, Li Ke couldn't help but make a conspiracy theory. However, the fundamental motive of this conspiracy theory is that Not enough to set up.
Li Yuan's life will not be an obstacle to anyone, he is no longer strong enough to suppress his son, otherwise he would not abdicate to become the Supreme Emperor.
Li Ke held Pei Xuan's hand, and found that the other's palm was cold and slightly trembling. Li Ke inserted his fingers into the opponent's fingertips with his left hand, and interlocked the fingers that Pei Xuan was most looking forward to, but at this moment he But he was not in the mood to be happy and excited.
Li Ke's actions brought Pei Xuan back to his senses, and he said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Li Ke didn't say anything. Standing at the gate of the palace on a winter night and being blown by the cold wind is a terrible thing.Just as Li Ke thought, when the two of them arrived at Da'an Palace, they were the two who lived outside the palace first, and the other princes were probably on their way.
The faces of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were not very good-looking, and the elders of Fengyu who were kneeling beside them, and then the princess who stood aside with red eyes and dared not make a sound, Li Chengqian knelt beside Li Yuan's bed with his father I can't help but cry.
The arrival of Li Ke and Pei Xuan seemed to bring this seemingly static picture back to life. Li Ke's eyes were flushed, and the tears in his eyes could not be shed. Coupled with his frozen pale face, he looked extremely Pitiful.
"Father, Ah Weng... Ah Weng... He..."
Li Shimin wiped away his tears and said to Li Ke: "Come on, Sanlang, Xuan Jue is also here, the Supreme Emperor was still talking about you before."
Li Ke finally couldn't hold back his crying and ran to the bed and said, "It's my grandson who is late, my grandson is unfilial, Ah Weng... Ah Weng..." Li Ke stretched out his hand to pull Pei Xuan over while crying, Pei Xuan At this time, tears streamed down Xuan's face, and he performed a live interpretation of what it means to be unable to cry.
In fact, after making good psychological preparations, Li Ke and Pei Xuan were only initially surprised by Li Yuan's death, and the surprise was also because it came too fast. If you want to say that they are sad...of course they are also sad, but according to their personalities I would rather force myself to go back and cry secretly than to perform in public and burst into tears.
However, if you don't perform, you can't do it. If you don't perform, you will be called unfilial.I didn't even see Li Shimin crying like... Uh, well, he is indeed dead.But Li Ke swore that while wiping his tears, he saw Li Shimin holding a very small sachet in his left hand, and he could still smell the pungent smell inside that sachet if he got closer.
No wonder Li Shimin's tears and snot were so exaggerated, Li Ke moved to the side, he no longer needs a cheating tool for such things as crying when it is time to cry, not to mention Li Yuan's passing did make him a little sad, as for Pei Xuan... …The sudden death of the last person who could give him shelter in this world can already bring him great harm.
Li Yuan's funeral was grand and solemn, but there was no panic at all. The death of the previous emperor did not cause any impacts such as the change of the throne from the old to the new. Probably the biggest benefit of his abdication as the Supreme Emperor.And because of this particularity, it probably doesn't need to happen if he doesn't change his father's way for three years, after all, Li Yuan hasn't spoken out in court for a long time.
The Son of Heaven was buried on the seventh day and buried in the seventh month. Even if Li Yuan died as the Supreme Emperor instead of the Emperor, he would be buried as the Emperor.
Seven days later, the traces of Li Yuan's death did not have much impact except that everyone was still wearing sackcloth and filial piety. Li Ke and Pei Xuan had already prepared plain clothes, and even Li Chengqian had prepared them in advance.
Things like etiquette and law are always compromised when it comes to rights. Ordinary courtiers must resign when their parents die, and their sons and grandsons will stay for three years, and other children and grandchildren usually stay for one year. However, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian cannot do this at all. In other words, Li Chengqian couldn't do this.
Li Shimin cherishes his feathers even if he becomes the emperor. The officials wrote to him to follow Li Yuan's will to handle military affairs, but he directly refused, and turned around and ordered Li Chengqian to handle daily affairs in the East Palace. This can be said to be a great deal for Li Chengqian Trust, especially at Li Chengqian's current age, this edict surprised all the officials.
After Li Tai found out, he turned around and returned home and dropped a whole set of tea sets. Li Shimin's trust in Li Chengqian was so high, it only showed Li Shimin's partiality to him.Li Chengqian is not much older than him, but now he is able to supervise the country in a real sense, what about him?
He is only able to enter the court to listen to the government, can express opinions but does not have any real job, and the position he has received from afar is actually useless except for a little more salary. After returning from military exploits, he is the only one who has accomplished nothing, so what is he going to do to fight for the crown prince?
Li Tai was very anxious in his heart, but he still pretended to be sad and unspeakable on his face. Not to mention that the fat man's acting skills were really good, as far as Li Ke saw it, he probably didn't use cheating devices.It's just that what Li Ke is concerned about now is not this, but the question of whether to keep filial piety. As a prince, Li Chengqian can't just quit, so does he need to keep filial piety?Of course, not only he was worried about this problem, Li Tai was also worried, and the rest didn't think so much. Among the princes, they were the older ones who had more important errands now.
Another problem is Pei Xuan. The turmoil of the previous case has completely passed. As a person who has been wronged, Pei Xuan should actually continue to go back to be his county magistrate at this time. However, his leg injury is still not healed, at least he needs to recuperate. More than two months, so what about two months later?Should he be an officer or continue to rest?Does he need to be filial to Li Yuan?
After all, he is not the adopted son on the genealogy. Although everyone agrees that he is, but in terms of etiquette, it is not. It is a bit too much for Pei Xuan to wear filial piety during the national funeral. Fortunately, Pei Ji and his wife have passed away so no one cares about him, but If he insisted on keeping his filial piety, I'm afraid it would be a bit out of line.
"We'll wait until Xuan Jue's injury recovers." Li Chengqian's face was full of exhaustion, and even a short stubble appeared on his jaw. This appearance was a rare embarrassment in his life.
Li Ke admired Li Chengqian's embarrassment, and then said: "Sanchuan county magistrate is going to be replaced?"
"Could it still be free?" Li Chengqian asked back after taking a sip of tea, seeing that Li Ke hadn't spoken, he asked again: "It seems that Changsun Huan will stay for a while longer."
"Why?" Li Ke looked at him strangely.
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said: "There have been too many things recently, Dad was in a bad mood, but at this time it exploded..."
"It's because of this that it's going to explode at this time." Pei Xuan, who had been sitting quietly beside him, suddenly interjected, "The saint is in a bad mood now, and this incident will make him even more angry, not to mention..." Pei Xuan paused before continuing: "Although I don't really want to do this, but the Supreme Emperor died suddenly, so I contacted this..."
Even if Li Yuan's name wasn't on the things buried at Changsun Huan's place, people would think that anyway, Changsun Huan didn't live a good life at Changsun's house...
Li Ke and Li Chengqian exchanged glances, Li Chengqian silently gave Pei Xuan a thumbs up in his heart, while Li Ke was thinking, he didn't do anything to offend him other than accidentally losing Pei Xuan, right?This Nima is a big killer.
Li Chengqian looked at Pei Xuan and said, "Xuan Jue is recuperating well recently, don't move too much."
Li Ke deeply believed that Li Yuan's edict directly pushed Pei Xuan to the forefront. Few ministers could be included in the list of edicts. Because he doesn't deal with political affairs, this... Well, Li Shimin didn't do what he said, and still slept on the straw mat in the side hall for 37 days.
Then Li Yuan has nothing to say. There is basically no political legacy, and only some money and other things are left. The big head is naturally left to Li Shimin. After all, Li Shimin is now his eldest son in the true sense, and nothing is left to him. Who is he leaving for?And the remaining part of the money, Li Yuan directly distributed to other sons and grandchildren and...Pei Xuan.
Among them, Pei Xuan's share was second only to Li Shimin, and even more than Li Chengqian. Li Yuan's other sons almost stared out of the window.Even the ministers were surprised, is the Taishang Huang confused?After all, this edict should have been completed not long ago. Everyone knows that Li Yuan is in poor health and often falls ill. It is not surprising to prepare the edict in advance.
Pei Xuan suddenly became a middle-lower poor peasant and became a landlord class, but everyone present can only be thankful that Li Yuan's extraordinary actions did not have much impact on the current court situation.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. When Pei Xuan's leg is healed, try to let him go to Beijing to be an official." Li Ke stood up and said: "Recently Li Tai has been hanging out with Changsun Huan. If you make trouble It would be the best thing if we could bring him along."
Li Chengqian had a sneer on his face: "How could I let him go?"
Li Chengqian killed Li Ke by surprise in his previous life, but accidentally ignored Li Tai, which eventually led to failure. Now he dare not advance and kill the enemy in the bud. How stupid is he?
Two days after Li Ke left the East Palace, the matter of Changsun Huan broke out. It was his book boy who reported him, and the book boy went directly to Dali Temple. No one in the village believes that he directly invited Changsun Wuji. If possible, it is best to deal with it within the Changsun's family.
However, Changsun Wuji was destined not to be able to suppress this matter, because he actually found the name of Prince Li Chengqian among those things that suppressed victory!
Neither he nor Li Ke thought that they didn't even see Li Yuan for the last time. In fact, the two of them rushed over as quickly as possible after receiving the news.how come?It was just a fall. It has not been a few hours since Pei Xuan saw Li Yuan last time. For a moment, Li Ke couldn't help but make a conspiracy theory.
