Chapter 965: Li Yuan Dies
"It just doesn't make sense."
The heads of the five surnamed Qiwang families who were rejected again were simply angry that one Buddha went out of the body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and no one in the seven who had always been high in the world dared to refuse them, but today they were rejected twice in one day.
"Since the Kong family doesn't know how to lift, don't blame us for not giving Kong Sheng face!" The head of the Wang family said fiercely.
The head of the Zheng family shook his head and said, "The position of the Kong family is extremely sensitive, and Brother Wang must not act recklessly. ”
Don't look at their family just using Confucianism as a tool to control the government, but the Confucian family is the spiritual symbol of the entire Confucianism, once the Confucian family is moved, even they may not be able to hold back.
The head of the Wang family snorted coldly: "The old man naturally knows, but if the Kong family wants to transform the private school into a primary school, so as to increase the prestige of the Kong family, it depends on whether I and the family agree." ”
"You mean.................." the head of the Zheng family said suddenly.
The head of the Wang family nodded and said: "Once the private school is transformed into a primary school, the children of the poor family will definitely have an impact on the children of the family, I think no family in the world wants to see such a situation, as long as we give a little guidance, the family in the world will definitely take the initiative to obstruct the private school in their own county." ”
"Brother Wang's strategy is clever, and all the masters are immersed in studying the Four Books and Five Classics, but the primary school still has to learn the doctrine of a hundred schools, which will definitely make countless masters dissatisfied, coupled with the influence of the family, it will definitely make the transformation of the primary school a joke, and when the time comes, someone in the court will naturally come forward for us to settle this matter." The head of the Zheng family nodded and said, the five surnames and Qiwang have a great influence in the court, as long as there are a series of problems in the renovation of the primary school, there will definitely be countless people attacking, or it won't be long before they can wipe out this policy.
"What about the Mo family?" The head of the Fan Yang Lu family asked.
The head of the Wang family snorted coldly: "I am not so polite to the Mo family, send a message to the world's families, if anyone dares to cooperate with the Mo family again, it will be an enemy of my five surnames and seven hopes." ”
"Yes, kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, just take the chicken of the Mo family to set an example of the monkey of the Confucian family." The head of the Zheng family echoed.
The head of the Cui family nodded and said, "The Mo family and the Kong family are easy to handle, what about the second tui'en?" ”
Suddenly, all the masters of the family were quiet, if the Mo family is a chicken, the Kong family is a monkey, and Li Shimin is a tiger, and he is a tiger that can eat people.
"Brother Li should do it! Li Tang is from your Longxi Li family, according to the seniority Li Shimin should also call you uncle, I'm afraid only you are the most suitable to come forward? The head of the Wang family looked at the silent head of the Li family in Longxi on the side and said.
The head of the Li family in Longxi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Although I am the head of the Li family in Longxi, but Li Yuan's vein is only a branch of the Li family in Longxi, and the old man's words can have a few effects, don't forget, Li Er is the throne obtained by killing his brother and imprisoning his father, it can be seen that he himself does not agree with the inheritance system of the eldest son, if the old man goes, I am afraid it will only be a humiliation!" ”
After the head of the Li family in Longxi finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, whether it was Li Er's background or as an emperor, I am afraid that they did not want to see the existence of the powerful Five Hopes and Seven Surnames.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, they had never been so decadent as today, and they who usually called for wind and rain actually hit a wall one after another today.
"Da Da Da!"
Suddenly, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came, and a subordinate rushed to the head of the Li family in Longxi, flew off the horse, and whispered to report, the head of the Li family in Longxi couldn't help but be stunned, and exclaimed: "Really! ”
The servant nodded solemnly.
"Brother Li, but something big happened!" The head of the Wang family asked.
The head of the Li family in Longxi squeezed out two tears and said sadly: "The emperor has died!" ”
"The Emperor has died!" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and then they were ecstatic in their hearts, Li Yuan's death didn't mean that Li Shimin would at least nominally keep filial piety for three years, and if he launched a second push in these three years, he would definitely be attacked by the courtiers as unfilial.
"We only have three years to wait, if we can convince the Mo family and the Kong family in these three years, then we will have the capital to negotiate with Li Shimin, otherwise, you will have your own destiny!" The head of the Li family in Longxi had tears on his face, but his expression did not show the slightest sadness.
"The sky is endless, my five surnames and seven hopes!" The head of the Zheng family laughed loudly, but seven of them were Li Yuan's old friends, and among them were Li Yuan's cousins, who were supposed to be sad about Li Yuan's death, but now they laughed loudly to celebrate their brief rebirth.
"The Emperor has died!"
When the messenger in the palace arrived at Mofu, Princess Changle was suddenly struck by lightning.
"Grandpa!" Princess Changle couldn't help crying.
Although the relationship between Li Yuan and Li Shimin is very stiff, they love Princess Changle very much, and Princess Changle also often goes to Da'an Palace to accompany Li Yuan, instead of Li Shimin to fulfill filial piety, and the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is extremely harmonious.
"Changle don't want to be sad, the Emperor Taishang has been paralyzed in bed for several months after a stroke, and he will no longer suffer if he dies at this moment." Merton reassured.
According to the course of history, Li Yuan should have died last year, but because of Merton, the doctor Daxing extended Li Yuan's life for half a year, which was already a fluke.
Princess Changle still shed tears, although she was mentally prepared for Li Yuan's death, but when she heard that her loved ones had left the world, how could she not be grief-stricken.
Merton couldn't help but rejoice when he saw this, fortunately he did not hesitate to venture into the development of penicillin to cure the illness of Empress Changsun, otherwise Princess Changle experienced the death of her loved ones twice in a row, and I am afraid that no matter how strong she is, she will not be able to bear such a blow.
"No, I'm going to give the imperial grandfather a ride." Princess Changle struggled to her feet, struggling to get out.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess can't, when the slave maid came, Your Majesty and the queen mother had already instructed Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to recuperate at home and not to move the fetus." The eunuch who came to deliver the message hurriedly stopped him and said that the death of the elderly in the family and the appearance of pregnant people need to be avoided, which is a rule that has been in place since ancient times.
"But ..................." Princess Changle stroked her bulging lower abdomen.
Merton comforted: "Just go here for your husband, and you will definitely do your filial piety for your mother." ”
Merton comforted her again and again, and then calmed Princess Changle, stretched out her hand, beckoned Wu Meiniang to her side and said: "Meiniang, you have been accompanying Shi Niang these days, don't let her be too sad." ”
"Don't worry, master!" Wu Meiniang responded and stepped forward to support Princess Changle.
Merton then got up and followed the messenger all the way towards the palace.
Merton went all the way to Da'an Palace, Da'an Palace has become a huge mourning hall, almost all the royal relatives have arrived, and the head of the Li family in Longxi, who has just been in Mofu, is also at the forefront, looking heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's Day condolences!" Merton bowed.
"How's Changle doing?" Empress Eldest Sun's eyes were red, and she had obviously cried just now, and when she saw Morton coming, she asked out loud.
"Back to the queen, Changle was sad when he heard that the emperor had died, and the minister had already let the bad guys accompany him." Merton replied.
Empress Eldest Sun nodded, and when she saw Li Yuan's spiritual position in the mourning hall, she couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"The queen's health has just improved, and I hope the queen will not be sad and put her body first." Merton was heartbroken when he saw that Empress Eldest Sun had just improved, and couldn't help but comfort.
"I'm a daughter-in-law, how can I be absent at this moment, rest assured, the body of this palace is clear and can hold on." Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but show a hint of softness when she looked at Mo Dun, if it weren't for the Mo family and the medical family joining forces to develop the Qinglong True Medicine, otherwise, she would definitely not be able to survive this hurdle.
She was lucky, but Li Yuan was not so lucky, the Qinglong True Medicine was not of much use for stroke at all, even if the doctor had used the highest medical skills, and directly injected the Qinglong True Medicine into Li Yuan's blood vessels, it only delayed Li Yuan's life for two days.
At the head of the mourning hall, the head of the Li family in Longxi couldn't help frowning when he saw that Morton and Empress Changsun had been talking for so long.
The head of the Li family in Longxi, as the chief steward of Li Yuan's funeral, led the ministers and the royal family to kneel three times and bow to Li Yuan's mourning hall, then he picked up a holy decree and said loudly: "The Emperor Taishang has already made an edict, and after a hundred years, he will be buried with Queen Taimu in the Offering Mausoleum,..................。 ”
Merton's heart moved, Taimu Empress Dou was Li Yuan's wife, and gave birth to four sons and one daughter in her life, respectively Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanba, Li Yuanji, and Princess Pingyang, but after the change of Xuanwumen, only Li Shimin was the only child born to Dou.
When Dou was alive, Li Yuan never took a concubine, and since Dou's death, Li Yuan has completely let himself go, recruited beautiful women, and gave birth to many younger brothers and sisters to Li Shimin one after another.
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "My father treats me like a mountain, and I have decided to keep filial piety for my father for three years. ”
"Your Majesty think twice!"
"The country cannot be without a king for a day, although Your Majesty has lost a loved one, please consider the common people in the world and deal with it."
…………………………
When the ministers heard this, they were shocked and persuaded each other, praising Li Shimin's filial piety commendable, and on the other hand, trying to prevent Li Shimin from keeping filial piety.
"The imperial brother still needs to govern the world's society, why don't you let the courtiers replace the imperial brother and keep filial piety for three years." Suddenly, a young royal family got up and gave up.
"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Han!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is really a person of pure filial piety."
Seeing that the King of Han was so knowledgeable, the ministers praised him one after another, and almost in an instant, the King of Han almost became a filial son praised by everyone.
"Han King Li Yuanchang!" Merton couldn't help but shrink his eyes, he had a deep memory of this rare named prince in history, he was not a peaceful person.
"Then there is Brother Lao Huang!" Li Shimin is as good as a stream.
"Your Majesty, it is still necessary to determine the specifications of the Emperor's mausoleum, and please ask Your Majesty to appoint it!" The head of the Li family in Longxi asked. Xianling was originally the mausoleum of Empress Taimu, and at this moment, Li Yuan was buried with her, and the natural specifications were even better.
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, Li Yuan is the founding emperor, naturally to enjoy the qualifications of the founding emperor, the emperor originated from Qin Shi Huang, but the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is too huge, if the scale of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is adopted, I am afraid that the entire Tang Dynasty will be dragged down immediately, although the specifications of Liu Bang's tomb are extraordinary, but Li Shimin thinks that Liu Bang is from a humble background, which is comparable to the Li family's dignitaries, and the only suitable one is probably the original tomb of Liu Xiu, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
"Then build the dedication mausoleum to the specifications of the original mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty." Li Shimin said solemnly.
The ministers couldn't help but bow their heads, Li Shimin's choice was very appropriate, it can be said that it was the most suitable for Li Yuan, and the original mausoleum of Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Guangwu Emperor was the place where he was buried with his queen Yin Lihua.
"There is also a matter of building the tomb of the dedicated mausoleum, and I also ask Your Majesty to summon the world's skilled craftsmen to ensure that the mausoleum of the Emperor Taishang is foolproof!" The head of the Li family in Longxi bowed and said.
Suddenly the ministers couldn't help but fall silent for a while, since ancient times, the most hated by the dynasties is the tomb robbers, especially the royal tomb, which is worth a lot of money, is the holy place of the tomb robbers of the past dynasties.
"The minister heard that the public loser is good at making the silver treasury, and the silver treasury is extremely safe, and the public loser supervises the construction of the tomb." Wei Zheng bowed his hand and said.
"Lord Wei doesn't know that although the skills of the public loser are extraordinary, but the silver treasury is foolproof, and the reinforced cement produced by the Mo family is still needed as raw materials, and the knife and axe are difficult to hurt, so that it can be foolproof." The head of the Li family in Longxi said loudly.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Merton.
Merton smiled bitterly: "It's not that the kid is unwilling to do his filial piety for the emperor, but the life span of reinforced concrete is only a hundred years, and it will become fragile after a hundred years, I am afraid that it is far less durable and durable than bluestone, and Weichen does not dare to affect the emperor's thousands of years underground." ”
"One hundred years!" Li Shimin couldn't help but regret.
He has personally experienced the hardness of reinforced concrete, although a bridge is enough for a hundred years, but for a mausoleum buried underground for a long time, it is far from enough.
"Then adopt the craftsmanship built by the emperors of previous dynasties, and choose an auspicious day to arrange the burial of the emperor." Li Shimin said solemnly.
"Yes!" The head of the Li family in Longxi said respectfully.
Although Li Yuan has abdicated, all the specifications are in accordance with the emperor's etiquette, and after Merton went through a series of cumbersome etiquette, he went back tired.
Just after all the ministers had left, there was a dead silence in the entire Da'an Palace.
"Your Majesty, you can rest for a while!" Empress Eldest Sun stepped forward to comfort.
"Go down, all of you! I want to spend some time with my father! Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help sighing, how could she not know the grievances between the father and son, and now with the death of Li Yuan, this grievance has also reached the time to be resolved.
Emperor Changsun stretched out his hand, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs left the hall one after another, leaving only Li Yuan's spiritual position and Li Shimin.
Li Shimin sat in front of Li Yuan, who closed his eyes tightly, and saw that the hero he once thought of closed his eyes tightly and would never wake up again, and silent tears couldn't help but fall.
When he was young, Li Shimin thought that his father was the greatest person in the world, and he was proud of his father all his life.
However, with the death of his mother, his father recruited beautiful women, and the estrangement between him and his father became more and more, as Li Yuan raised troops, he and his eldest brother competed with each other, and there was a deep rift in brotherhood, but his sister Li Xiuning worked hard to maintain this family relationship.
However, with the sudden death of Princess Pingyang Zhao, this family affection that everyone envied was suddenly shattered, and in the change of Xuanwu Gate, he killed Li Jiancheng with his own hands, and saw an unbelievable look in his eyes, when he came to the Taiji Palace, he couldn't look directly at his father's painful and disappointed eyes. A family that everyone in the world envies has become the most tragic family in the world, and no one can predict such an ending.
"I lost my mother, my sister, my brother, and now I have lost my father," Li Shimin closed his eyes with tears in his eyes, and from today on, he has finally become a loner.
