At this time, His Royal Highness the King of Yue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also stepped forward on their knees crying, lying on the side of the sickbed in great grief.

The two of them cried not at all as hoarse as His Royal Highness King Pu, they just wept in an irrepressible low voice. Even so, the saint saw it in his eyes and felt the same great pity, so he couldn't help but pat them on the head. Then, he looked at the mourning hall of Empress Qin outside with a little distant gaze, and sighed softly: "Erlang, you have been in Chang'an since you were a child, and you have never been to the fiefdom, so you are very bored when you think about it. After the filial piety is finished, you will go to the fief with your mother to live often, and then return to Chang'an during the New Year. ”

"Grandpa has good intentions, and the child understands. Children also always want to broaden their horizons...... But he didn't have a chance to ......" Li Heng reacted almost immediately, without hesitation, as if he had expected such a day.

Wang's eyes, who were wiping tears, were slightly open, and he was silent. Li Wei and Li Jing only cried and didn't listen at all. The county lord of Xuancheng and the county lord of Xin'an were stunned when they were younger, and they could not hide their shock - the fief of King Yue was far away in Xuanzhou, more than 2,000 miles away from Chang'an, and it was even farther away than Junzhou, where King Pu's vein was located, and Jingzhou, where King Chu's vein was located.

The sage's gaze swept over them lightly, and he said, "San Lang, you shouldn't be comfortable living in Chang'an, so let's leave for Junzhou earlier." Let your brothers send you more literati and ink writers as doormen, and accompany you to sing the wind and the moon, and you can't say that you can still live happily and comfortably. Gorou, don't forget to make them the governors of the capital, lest they be too idle and forget to share your worries and solve your problems. ”

His Royal Highness King Pu was stunned again, and the phoenix eyes that were squeezed into a slit by the fat were already red and swollen from crying, and he could hardly see the saint's expression at this moment. However, he soon remembered Empress Qin's earnest instructions before she died, and instead of crying and saying anything reluctant, he agreed very simply: "Grandpa takes care of his illness, and he doesn't have to worry about these trivial things for the child!" Now that the child has made some hermits, he is already very satisfied with taking several of them to Junzhou to live freely together! ”

Yan silently lowered his eyes and wept, but did not say much. Li Xin fell to the ground and wept bitterly, and Zhou almost fainted from crying, as if he had not noticed whether the saint's words included them. Li Hui didn't have any extra reactions, only said with tears: "...... The grandson wants to guard the tomb of his grandfather for three years...... Then go back to Junju ......"

"Nonsense, you are young, what kind of mausoleum do you guard? Is it three years to keep it? Since the marriage has been promised, it is time to prepare for it and work on time. The saint looked at the crown prince Li Kun again, "Gorou, over the years, no matter what I have entrusted to you, I am very relieved, and you have never taught me to be disappointed." Your two brothers and nephews are a little sluggish, but you are sharp and thoughtful, like your aunt. In the future, you should take care of them more, and don't teach them to be deceived, and don't let anyone ruin your brotherhood. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be a little surprised, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Grandpa, eldest brother...... Now only three of us are left. If even the two brothers leave Chang'an far away, won't the child become lonely in this life, and no one can even hold a family banquet to laugh at him? Moreover, if the brother and nephew are far away in the fiefdom, it is inconvenient for the children to take care of them. It's better to stay in Chang'an nearby, support each other, and live happily together like grandpa and uncles. ”

Hearing this, Li Xin and Li Hui, who were crying with them, were all in the same heart. They all hope to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible - this seemingly flowery place is actually full of guns and arrows, and my grandfather should also know very well in his heart that in the future, the Yue Wang and Pu Wang will most likely encounter any difficulties if they stay in Chang'an, so they decisively made such an arrangement. But for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it seems to imply that he is not filial, and he can't even treat his brother and nephew well.

Li Kun has always valued reputation, how can he tolerate such flaws? He needs to create an image of filial piety to his parents, his brothers and sisters, and kindness to his children. If King Ren Yue and King Pu leave, how can he show the courtiers and the people of Chang'an City, and even the people of the entire Tang Dynasty? Show that their brotherhood is deep, and they can be called a model for the royal family of all generations?

Moreover, Princess Anxing is still secretly eyeing her. Who knows that she will not take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spread any rumors to ruin the image of the new Son of Heaven in one fell swoop and sow discord among the brothers? At the very least, Li Kun must put an end to the worst-case scenario.

The sage stared at Li Kun deeply for a long time, and then Fang said leisurely: "Wulang, you have always valued love and righteousness, if you are really reluctant...... I'll hand them all over to you......" After saying that, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Du Shi and Changning County Lord, who were also kneeling on the ground: "Yue Niang, help your aunt up......"

"Liniang (Princess Linchuan)...... You've always been quiet...... I am relieved that my life is also steady, and the children are also taught well. Xi Niang (Princess Anxing), you ...... It's a bit uncertain, and it's time to take care of it later...... After all, the Cheng family is a husband's family, so treat them better. Yu Niang (Princess Qinghe), the huge Qin family...... Nor does it depend on you...... Don't be too tired...... Take care of your body...... Take a proper rest. ”

The three princesses choked up and agreed, and the ponies promised to respect the princess. The saint nodded with satisfaction: "Gorou is watching for me...... Don't forget your promises......

In an instant, the old man's face became more and more decayed, and his panting voice also sank: "Each and every one of you remember, Zitong and I have been watching Zhaoling...... If anyone is disobedient and misbehaves, I will see how I punish you in the future......" After that, he motioned to the crown prince Li Kun to stay, and the others retreated to the outside.

Li Hui helped Li Tai to sit on the mattress, and when he raised his eyes, he saw several prime ministers hurrying over, and then Qin An, the Duke of Wu, Xu Ye, the Duke of Jian, Chi Qing, the Duke of E, and King Jing, King Peng, and King Lu arrived one after another. The children of the clan also appeared again, Li Qianniang was sandwiched between the county lords of the Jingwang family, and it seemed inconspicuous, but Li Hui was already unwilling to give her even a little bit out of the corner of his eye.

However, the county lord of Yichuan was not satisfied with the current situation where no one was paying attention, and Chu Chu walked to Du Shi pitifully, his eyes drooping with tears: "Uncle...... Grandfather was already so sick...... Why hasn't there been a palace envoy to inform my son? The son waited at home anxiously and copied ten scriptures for his grandfather......"

Du Shi was frowning slightly, pressing his abdomen without a trace, his eyes were slightly cold when he heard the words, and he said lightly: "Copied ten scriptures? Good boy, you are indeed filial piety. For the sake of you being a filial child, I have been reluctant to remind you - Qian Niang, the King of Chu has already passed out, and it is really inappropriate for you to call your grandfather again and again. On an occasion like today, it's time to call your grandfather instead. ”

In an instant, the blood on Li Qianniang's face faded cleanly. For a period of time, with the protection of Li Ge, she actually forgot about the succession of King Chu, and forgot that she was just an ordinary concubine in the patriarchy!! Without Li Ge's favor, she would be almost no different from the county lords of King Jing's Mansion who surrounded her to curry favor with her!

Li Qianniang bit her lip, she didn't know how many curses had passed in her heart, she didn't know how much she hated the ruthlessness of the saint and Li Song's incompetence, but she didn't think about what she had done wrong. She finally regained her strength, and replied after a while: "Yes...... transgressed the ......" and then, she no longer mentioned what to do with the ten scriptures, and returned to the county lords of Jingwang's Mansion in disgrace.

Although Du's voice was extremely soft, everyone who should have heard it could hear it clearly. The Wang and Yan clans felt a slight disgust, and they felt a little tired of Li Qianniang still appearing in front of them from time to time. The county lord of Changning tugged at the corner of Li Hui's sleeve and said silently: "Live...... The ......"

Li Hui sighed in his heart: If you knew what ugly things she had done, you wouldn't be so calm. At such an important moment, she actually appeared in front of him, which simply made his feelings worse and worse. Grief, helplessness, sadness, loss, anger, all kinds of emotions are mixed together, as if his blood is burning, as if he can't wait to break through something, want to do something, want to change something.

However, when he gradually calmed down, he could only accept the reality - Junzhou could not go back, the casual life could never go back, and the confined and difficult life was just a change of place. In his previous life, Junzhou was a cage that trapped him, but in this life, he was replaced by Chang'an City. Moreover, in this Chang'an City, there are constant undercurrents, and their family must work step by step so that they will not fall into a place of no return.

Is it happier to return to Junzhou, or happier to stay in Chang'an?

Li Hui couldn't answer - maybe neither of these choices would make people happy, they could only make people a little satisfied, they could only make people stunned, and even let people be involved in various situations involuntarily. When there is not enough strength to change this qiē, there is only hibernation, only waiting.

After a short time, there were important ministers who went back and forth with different edicts, some were "books" made of bamboo slips, and some were ordinary books, and there were more than ten letters. Li Hui glanced at the inner room, and suddenly a cold wind penetrated through his heart, as if he had an ominous premonition. Sure enough, the next moment, he heard Li Kun's loud cry, and the palace eunuch walked out with a pale face, and said in a loud voice: "Saint...... Dead ......"

The expressions of the people in the mourning hall were different, and they immediately began to weep, and their sadness varied. Li Heng, Li Tai, and the three princesses staggered in to see the last of the saints. The county lord of Changning wanted to follow, but Du Shi beside her had weak legs and suddenly sat on the ground.

Yan and Wang were busy helping her up, and when they looked down at the blood stains that were slowly spreading at her feet, they immediately called the imperial doctor. The county lord of Changning stood in place in a daze, watching the palace maids carry the painful Du Shi up and leave, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything. Li Hui barely held back the pain in his heart and said in a low voice: "Go to say goodbye to your grandfather first, and then go to accompany your uncle." Grandfather knows your filial piety and will never blame you. ”

"......" The county lord of Changning came back to his senses and bowed his head firmly.

In the thirty-first year of Zhenyuan, the saint died, and he was called Emperor Wen, and the temple was called Taizong. The crown prince immediately ascended the throne and presided over the funeral according to Taizong's will. Subsequently, the new emperor issued an edict, setting the country for 100 days of filial piety, the people forbade marriage and happy events within 60 days, and the official eunuchs forbade wedding and happy events within 100 days. The filial piety of the clan is calculated by five clothes, and the new emperor and his brothers and sisters keep the filial piety of their parents for three years, and the grandchildren keep the filial piety for one year.

Two days later, Du, who had not yet been crowned queen, gave birth to a daughter with great difficulty, bleeding profusely, and barely saved the lives of the mother and daughter. The new emperor hugged his newborn daughter, gave her the name Li Yuanwan, and named Princess Yongan.
