Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Imperial Expedition
"Boom", Li Changge's head roared.
"You, what did you say? My dad won't, my dad won't have an accident......" Li Changge couldn't accept this result at all, and his emotions were out of control.
The purpose of reliving is to protect his father and the general's mansion.
But now that the trajectory of her life has completely changed, why doesn't it seem to have changed in the slightest?
Daddy still hasn't been able to enjoy his old age happily, but this time, it's still because of her fault.
Li Changge let the tears on his face fall down like beads with broken threads, as if the silk was flying away, "Then you say, since my father is a general, how could he die so easily?" ”
Qi Huan hurriedly hugged her, for fear that she would do something stupid if she couldn't think about it, "The general's accident was not because of anything else, or Tuoba Huan ended his life with his own hands." ”
The hot and humid liquid ran down his cheeks, and tears instantly overflowed his eyes.
She couldn't help but deny this fact.
"How could this be, how could it be like this...... Li Changge couldn't accept the reality, and as soon as she woke up, she knew such news, which almost didn't make her collapse.
Although Qi Huan looked distressed, he still decided to tell the truth, "The general is for your consideration, so he will go to the front line to communicate with him." What I didn't expect was that the general would have no turning back. ”
Li Changge covered his mouth, his whole heart seemed to be emptied, and his stomach was turning over and he wanted to vomit.
"Where's my dad?" She asked lightly, the expression on her face was not showing joy or sorrow.
Qi Huan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied, "The emperor has already sent someone to deal with this matter, and the general's body will return to the mansion in a few days." ”
The road is long and resistant, but people still have to return to their roots when they die.
Li Changge was stunned for a long time, but quietly looked at the pot of dripping Guanyin by the window, the leaves were a little yellow, thinking that it was because no one had taken care of it for a long time.
"Master, life always has to go on. People's birth, old age, sickness and death are not controllable, no matter how sad you are, you still have to estimate your body and bones. Qi Huan squatted beside her lap and looked at her gently, his eyes full of distress.
Li Changge replied softly, as subtle as a mosquito whispering in his ear, "Yes, it always takes time to go out, you let me be quiet." ”
She didn't have any expression, she just locked herself in the room for days on end, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Her father's voice and appearance became clearer and clearer, and her heart became more and more painful.
Qi Huan was so anxious that he tried to coax her out every day.
Until two days later, she was wearing a white plain skirt, and her hair was pulled up in a proper manner, clearly showing filial piety.
It just so happened that Li Ke's body had also been transported to the capital, and he was going through the process of state funeral in the palace at the moment.
At this time, her eyes were red, and she was no longer in high spirits at all.
"Master." Qi Huan hurriedly walked up and pushed the wheelchair from behind and asked, "Do you want to enter the palace?" ”
Although Li Changge was still depressed, she no longer had the heartbreak she had before, she looked at a certain place with empty eyes, and answered softly.
Qi Huan immediately asked people to call the arranged carriage over, and accompanied her into the palace to mourn along the way.
The state funeral ceremony is the highest funeral ceremony in the country, which not only represents an honor, but also the country's high respect for the deceased.
But in fact, as a family member, I would rather not have this ceremony, and I also want people to be by my side.
After the death of the emperor, the ceremony of the state funeral is difficult to see.
Therefore, there were many people who came to mourn before, and they all lined up at the gate of the palace to enter.
Seeing Li Changge coming, they spontaneously made way for her to move forward.
Unimpeded came to the Jinluan Palace, Tuoba Hongzhang stood on a high place, solemnly and solemnly ordered people to decorate Li Ke's remains.
Li Changge didn't pass, from beginning to end, he sat below and watched quietly.
Until the ceremony was completed, the coffin was finally sent all the way to a feng shui treasure in the west of the city for burial.
This is Li Ke's favorite manor during his lifetime, and he once joked that he would be buried here after death.
Unexpectedly, it became a prophecy.
Sealing the earth and covering the coffin, the emperor led everyone to bend down to hold a farewell ceremony, and when everything had been settled, everyone left the funeral and quietly left here.
It's dusk again.
Li Changge's impression of this time is always bad, just like the departure of Tuoba Truss that day, and the funeral of his father today.
"Changge, you have to be good. The civil and military officials sent the items, and I have already asked people to pack up and register them and send them all to the General's Mansion, so you don't have to worry about it. Tuoba Hanzhang has been busy with various things recently, and people who have always been meticulous have also been a little embarrassed.
It's a bit unkempt.
Li Changge bowed his head, met his gaze, and said indifferently, "Thank you." ”
"Thank you, that's what I should do. Although General Li may not want this honor, as the Son of Heaven, there are always many uncontrollable factors that have to be so. Tuoba Hongzhang helplessly showed a bitter smile, and his eyes were full of pathos.
Li Changge lowered his eyelashes and turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, "I'm talking about this place." ”
This manor was originally a private residence of a low-key hermit family, and it has only been gradually opened to the public in recent years to become a summer resort, and it may have taken a lot of trouble for them to take out this house for her father to live in.
"That's nothing, since it's a state funeral, how can it achieve the hope of General Li before his death. This manor has been bought, and the title deed will be sent to the General's Mansion for you to own. Although Tuoba Hongzhang said this sentence lightly, the little eunuch behind him was shocked when he heard it.
In order to buy this land, the emperor was eager to exterminate the other party, but in the end, people thought that his status was noble and not suitable for rudeness, so he gave up.
"Changge, you just woke up, why don't you have a good rest, do you have something to do with me?" He was as gentle as ever with her.
A breeze passed by, and the petals on the trees fluttered down with the wind and landed on Li Changge's clothes.
She gently stroked the small flower and closed her eyes, "Changge is here today to ask you for something." ”
Tuoba Hongzhang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Changge opened his mouth, I will naturally agree, why do you want to ask for it?" ”
"Changge asks to lead troops to the expedition to protect the land of the southern country." She raised her eyes to meet his, and suddenly spoke righteously.
Tuoba Hanzhang was stunned: "How can this work, how can one of your daughters go to the battlefield?" ”
"Your Majesty, Changge is not an ordinary daughter's family. Although he is not a peerless master, he can be regarded as knowing how to punch and kick, not to mention, Changge followed his father and learned a lot of military skills. Changge wants to take over his father's position and will never let my Li family be ashamed. ”
Li Changge took a deep breath and said everything he thought, "This is not only the death of the Protector General, but also Changge's biological father." In this world, no one can love me so much, and no one can protect me unconditionally in front of me. But even when my blood father died, I couldn't kneel in front of the grave and kowtow, what a sad thing. So the only thing Changge can do is to fulfill his father's last wish and defend the integrity of the country. ”
Her eyes were full of resoluteness and courage not to admit defeat, and it was more of a symbol of victory.
Tuoba Hanzhang looked at her for a while, and finally sighed, stretched out his hand and stroked the tips of her hair: "The tiger girl of the gate, she really doesn't lose her family style." Indeed, apart from your Li family's father and daughter, there is no one in this Xinjiang who is competent. ”
Li Changge showed his only smile since that day.
She knew that the emperor had agreed.
She finally has the opportunity to avenge her father, even if she can't do it, she must fulfill her father's last wish and defend the country.
More importantly, this is not only a battle between countries, but also a contest between her and Tuoba Truss.
After Li Changge returned home, he immediately packed his bags and prepared to set off, and when Taoyao Lou heard about it, he hurriedly hurried to build a good armor overnight, and mobilized manpower to follow her pace.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, all success or failure depends on this move.
On the day of the expedition, Li Changge's appearance caused an uproar.
saw that she was proud and unmoving, and she had a woman's style.
"There is no distinction between men and women in major national affairs, all the sons and daughters of our country, capable people can serve the country, but what about women?" When Tuoba Hanzhang arrived, his heart moved slightly when he saw her say something loud in the face of the soldiers' questioning.
In this way, her hair stands high and she is heroic.
Even a woman is no weaker than a man, no matter who she is, she will be attracted to her.
"Long song said it well! General Li is my appointed military advisor, if you have any objections, you can come to me! By the way, I would like to tell you a piece of news, from now on, I have decided to drive the expedition in person and live and die with the soldiers of our southern country. He announced the news loudly, causing an uproar.
Ride the expedition in person, live and die together.
The news shouted out to make people's blood boil, and the morale of the military was unprecedentedly inspired.
"Your Majesty ......" Li Changge frowned, as if he wanted to say something.
Tuoba Hanzhang waved his hand, stopping her from what she was about to say next: "Changge, I know what you want to say, but what you can do doesn't mean that I can't do it, not to mention the royal driving expedition, I already have this idea." ”
has already said this, it is completely because of the righteousness of the country, and there is no personal affection for children at all.
She opened her mouth for a moment, but finally didn't say anything, just threw her hand at him.
This is the standard military salute of the barracks.
