Li Qinghuan

Liu Zijian: "How do you know?"

Li Zhuxuan said perfunctorily, "Guess."

Liu Zijian was very dissatisfied, but he didn't pursue it.

Li Zhuxuan said again: "A Li, have you offended anyone? Who is going to harm you?"

He Li said with a wry smile: "I have offended many people."

Li Zhuxuan: "Is there anyone who offended you particularly hard?"

He Li shook his head: "It seems not, I can't remember."

Li Zhuxuan thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you ask your Mr. Ji?"

He Li nodded and called Ji Qing into the room.

Sitting in the main seat, Ji Qing lowered his head and took a sip of tea after listening to the three of them say, "Mr. Li's guess is probably close to ten, but the person who wants to harm Ah Li is not necessarily the person Ah Li offended."

Li Zhuxuan: "Did Mr. Ji find out something?"

Ji Qing shook his head: "The person behind him hides too deeply. I am incompetent, and I haven't found out a clue, but what is certain is that there should be no big ostensible conflict between that person and Ah Li."

Li Zhuxuan nodded, and said to He Li: "Be careful yourself, you have escaped this time, if the mastermind behind the scenes wants to put you to death, he will definitely not let it go."

He Li nodded: "I know."

Ji Qing: "Young Master Li, you don't have to worry, I won't let anything happen to him when Ah Li is by my side."

After finishing the business, Liu Zijian came back to life, jokingly said, "Do you need to worry about this?"

Li Zhuxuan sighed, ignored him, got up and said: "A Li, we can't stay here for too long, we are relieved to see that you are fine. Mr. Ji, please forgive me for bothering you so much today."

Ji Qing stood up: "It's okay, since you are A Li's friends, you are also my friends, you are welcome, I will send someone to send you out of the house."

Li Zhuxuan cupped his hands: "It's time to work."

Liu Zijian: "Are you leaving?"

Li Zhuxuan pulled him up: "We can't stay here for long, otherwise the news that Ah Li has left Yudu will be released in vain."

Liu Zijian suddenly realized: "Oh, then let's go, Ah Li, the future will be long, and there will be a period later."

He Li waved his hand: "The future will be long, and there will be a period later."

After watching the two go away, Ji Qing grabbed his shoulders and said worriedly: "A Li, go back and rest."

He Li was indeed exhausted, so he leaned into his arms: "I heard from Zhuxuan that I have already left Yu Du?"

Ji Qing helped him to sit down: "I released the news."

He Li didn't want to understand: "Why?"

Ji Qing: "The first thing is to make Song Duan feel at ease. You are of the orthodox royal blood. If this incident happened again, staying in Yudu for a day is a threat to him. Besides, General He is still in Yudu at this time. It is very difficult for him not to be careless; secondly, to ensure your safety, the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found out, just like what Li Zhuxuan said, if you narrowly escaped death, if you are still in Yudu, he will definitely not let it go. After all, you can figure out People with such insidious methods must also understand the need to cut grass and roots."

He Li said: "Can you hide it?"

Ji Qing nodded: "Yes, I entrusted a friend from the rivers and lakes to change my face, and I deceived the officials sent by the emperor."

He Li nodded in disappointment: "Okay, but Heming, can I not go see my mother for the last time? My mother will be buried tomorrow."

Ji Qing bent down: "General He brought the corpses of Empress Dowager He and Fang Ning back to the He family, and they will be buried in the He family tomb tomorrow, and on the grounds that the Empress Dowager He has a quiet nature, he declined the condolences of all officials to see him off. General He With military achievements and being Song Duan's grandfather, Song Duan naturally did not stop him and did as he wanted."

He Li was disappointed and said: "Then my brother, why don't you go?"

Ji Qing: "Song Duan's biological mother will move into the imperial mausoleum tomorrow, and will be crowned Empress Dowager Cihe."

He Li's eyes widened suddenly: "What? What biological mother?"

Ji Qing: "Song Duan was not born by Empress Dowager He, Ah Li, you don't want to know about the old things."

He Li's eyes were red again, and he spoke incoherently: "I, why don't I know? He Ming, me, can you tell me?"

Ji Qing sighed and patted his head: "Good boy, don't ask."

He Li is so smart, Ji Qing is so abnormal, there must be something hidden, so he immediately grabbed Ji Qing and forced him to ask: "What do you know? He Ming, don't lie to me."

Ji Qing said as usual: "I only know that Song Duan's biological mother is not Empress Dowager He."

He Li's tears rolled down big and big, running down his cheeks to his chin, and finally falling on the lapel of his clothes: "Then, is my mother's death related to this?"

Ji Qing shook his head: "No."

He Li's eyes were full of sadness: "Don't lie to me!"

Ji Qing was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "The Empress Dowager He wants you to live happily, to be able to get what you love, and to fulfill your wishes."

He Li was stunned for a moment, then calmed down: "I just want to know, does mother's death have anything to do with elder brother?"

Ji Qing thought for a while before answering his question: "No. Empress Dowager He has been seriously ill for a long time, it's just that something happened and she left this road to hell ahead of time."

He didn't want to lie to him, so he only picked the truth that he could tell.

Fortunately, He Li didn't ask any more questions, just nodded his head like ashes, got up and left in a daze.

Ji Qing raised his hand halfway, but in the end he still didn't hold onto the corner of He Li's clothes, and put it down feebly.

The next day, before dawn, Ji Qing packed up and stood in front of Song Li's door waiting.

Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, He Li rubbed the grass juice on his face little by little by the dim candlelight, and when the grass juice was completely dry, he picked up two mustaches and stuck them on his face. Already haggard, the young Pianpian turned into a slovenly vagabond.

After cleaning his face, he stood up again, took a black cloak from the wooden shelf next to him, put it on his body, put on the hat and opened the door.

He Li: "Heming, let's go."

Ji Qing nodded, put on his hat, and left through the side door with He Li.

Calling soul banners were hung in front of the gate and on the eaves of the general's mansion, and the people who carried the coffin were ready and guarded in front of the hall.

A mourning hall was set up in the front hall, and tablets were placed. At this time, it was still dark, and there were very few people who came to mourn and see off in the huge hall.

After the transmission, He Li entered the mourning hall smoothly. He took off his black cloak, adjusted his clothes, took three sticks of incense, lit them, and knelt down in front of the coffin.

"Mother, my child is not filial, so I just came to see you today. My child has regrets and shame. When you are sick, my child cannot serve at the bedside. When you are well, my child cannot entertain you. The child is useless, and cannot let you enjoy the family relationship." Le, and always make you angry and make you worry."

"I haven't been able to accompany you well in the last few days, I hope mother will not blame the child."

"The child will be as mother expects, be honest and truthful, inherit the character of my He family, have no shame for others, have no shame for myself, have no shame for my heart, and deserve this life."

After saying that, He Li kowtowed three times to the spiritual tablet, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

He Li knelt in front of Empress Dowager He's coffin without moving for a long time, without shedding a single tear, his composure was unbelievable, even General He was incredulous, always felt that the arrogant and willful little prince had grown into an indomitable man overnight.

The auspicious time was approaching, He Li stood up slowly, put on his cloak again, and walked at the front of the line holding the tablet of Empress Dowager He in both hands, Ji Qing followed diagonally behind him, and the Red Wing Army stood guard on the left and right, orderly and solemn , Seeing off the Empress Dowager, the idlers hid away when they saw this situation. The Red Wing Army was the god of war and the god of killing in the eyes of the common people.

A coffin was buried in the soil, and two stone tablets were erected, one was engraved with Fang Ning, and the other was engraved with He Zhiyu.

Ji Qing stared at the two stone tablets engraved with different names but buried together, thoughtfully.

There is only one coffin under the stele, so the two were buried together?

Empress Dowager He, the official wife of Emperor Wanxi, was buried with the female officials in her palace. If this news got out, it would not be a little bit of damage to the face of the Song royal family.

Ji Qing narrowed his eyes and looked away.

Old General He squatted in front of the tombstone and muttered for a while before getting up, and quietly wiped away his tears.

Old General He: "A Li, come here, and say goodbye to your mother at the end."

He Li followed orders like a stream, knelt down upright and kowtowed three times.

Old General He: "Aren't you going to say something?"

He Li looked at the tombstone and said, "Grandfather, I've said everything I need to say. Believe me, from what I've done in the future, my mother has a spirit in the sky, so I can see it."

Old General He nodded, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay! Manly man, speak with action!"

He Li nodded: "Grandfather, when are you leaving for Yanzhou?"

General He thought for a while, and said truthfully: "Tomorrow."

He Li: "So anxious?"

Old General He sighed, and said: "Don't be in a hurry, you can't delay the matter in northern Xinjiang, and there will be more trouble in returning to Yanzhou this time."

He Li: "What's the trouble?"

General He: "The head of Donghu Shanyu sent a letter, requesting that Dole Qi be sent back to Donghu. The emperor agreed due to the situation. This time, the old man will send Dole Qi back to Yanmen Pass. This is not an extra Big trouble?"

He Li nodded: "It's really troublesome, how is this different from letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Old General He: "The old man wants to kill him as a wolf, but Dawei is still no match for Donghu, and the elite soldiers who can't fight can fight Donghu. If he kills him, isn't it just triggering a war? "

He Li: "This battle will be fought sooner or later. Donghu has lived in the north for many years, the land is barren, and it lives on nomads. The Central Plains is rich in water and grass. It is not a day or two to covet the Great Wei."

Old General He smiled and said, "That's right, the fight will be fought sooner or later, but the time is not ripe yet. Dawei has been angry with Donghu for so many years, and the princesses he sent out are too numerous to count, and the gold and silver treasures are even more numerous. Who can bear this? It's just that the time has not yet come. Fortunately, the late emperor and the current majesty are not as stubborn as the previous generations. They have begun to strengthen the army, and the situation will gradually improve. Let's keep it for another two or three years If you can cultivate a few generals from your own soldiers, it will be enough for a battle."

He Li pondered: "I'm afraid Donghu won't be able to wait."

Old General He nodded: "Indeed, the main Shanyu sent Doleqi to Wei this time just to test it out. If he is allowed to test the depth, the war will burn to the Central Plains in less than three months. This time you are out An accident is equivalent to disturbing the muddy water, and Donghu dare not act rashly in a short period of time, after all, he really can't afford to lose."

He Li smiled: "This is a blessing in disguise."

Old General He patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Your disaster, Great Wei's blessing."

He Li took a breath: "That's all, grandfather, don't mention this."

Old General He nodded: "Okay, Ah Li, I'm leaving tomorrow, you don't have to come see me off, Ji Qing released the news, saying that you are no longer in Yudu."

He Li nodded: "Grandfather, I know."

Old General He: "It's good to know, he is careful, and it's for your own good. I can rest assured that you have him to take care of you."

He Li lowered his head: "Grandfather said so."
