As long as Li Shimin's order is not stopped, it is useless for others to say anything.

On the third day, except for the officials who stayed behind, all the civil and military officials in Luoyang put on their dresses while complaining, and followed Li Chengqian to the south gate of Luoyang.

There is a saying called "born in Suzhou and Hangzhou and buried in Beipi", "Beipi" refers to the Beibi Mountain in the north of Luoyang City, because many emperors have been buried, it is considered by some people to be a rare feng shui treasure in the world.

The Ministry of Rites originally chose Zhou Jin to choose a feng shui treasure on Beibi Mountain, which was changed by Li Chengqian on the side of the south gate of Luoyang, and of course it will not be considered a feng shui treasure land.

When the hundred officials came to Zhou Jin's cemetery, they found that Zhou Jin's tomb was very small, and there were not many sacrifices, which were the specifications of a standard seven-rank official.

Looking at Li Chengqian again, he was just dressed in black civilian clothes, and he didn't look like he was going to hold a grand funeral for his favorite minister.

This made the civil and military officials who came with them feel inexplicable, of course, they didn't dare to complain here, just looked at the cemetery, and showed a wry smile from time to time for some reason.

Li Chengqian walked around the cemetery with his cane, satisfied with the place, and turned to look at the ministers.

Seeing this, the ministers all hurriedly stopped, and looked at Li Chengqian in a proper manner.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "Today, the Lone King invited all the Qing family here, and all the Qing family must know what it is for?"

Li Chengqian saw the ministers bowing to him, so he nodded and continued: "It stands to reason that Zhou Jin was only a seven-rank priest during his lifetime, and it is not worth your condolences here.

However, King Gu felt that Zhou Jin's death was very representative and worthy of being written in the history books of later generations, so he invited all of you to come here. ”

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, all the officials present were shocked, you must know that Zhou Jinke was killed in Li Shimin's dormitory because Li Shimin didn't believe him.

Later, it turned out that Zhou Jin was right, Zhou Jin said when he was dying, "no disappointment to the Tang Dynasty", the words were enough to shock the world, and now Li Chengqian personally said this, this is to slap Li Shimin in the face, and he will be beaten forever!

Li Chengqian paused to see that no minister stood up, and continued: "Selecting and appointing talents is the most important task of the Holy Son of Heaven in governing the country.

Although Zhou Jin was born poor and his appearance is not good, he is outstanding in learning, loyal and loyal to the country, and has been honest and conscientious as an official in the East Palace, not disappointed in the Tang Dynasty, not disappointed in the court, and not disappointed in His Majesty and the Lone King.

There are many scholars like Zhou Jin in Datang, who are either from poor families or not good-looking, not reused by the imperial court, and have empty ambitions but nowhere to display them.

There are still many people who have a bad background, although they have entered the officialdom, they can only commit to their subordinates for the rest of their lives. The credit for their hard work is always someone else's, but if there is a mistake, it should be taken out first.

Such people have worked hard for the country and the people for a lifetime, but most of them are unknown, the Tang Dynasty can't forget them, the court can't forget them, and Your Majesty and the Lone King won't forget them.

……

……”

Li Chengqian said that for half an hour, the main content was two: first, Zhou Jin was not defeated in Datang, and second, there were still many people like Zhou Jin in Datang. The former implies that Li Shimin has failed him, and the latter implies that the current Tang Dynasty's selection and the concept of employing people in positions are unfair, and there is no opportunity for hard-working scholars to serve the country, so that these people have no way to serve the country.

Many of the ministers present wanted to debate and debate with Li Chengqian, but even they knew that standing up at this time would be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

In the matter of Zhou Jin, Li Chengqian has been invincible.

There are many events in history that were later called landmark events or turning events.

The reason why these events can become landmark events or turning events is that these events can affect people's hearts, and things will change when people's hearts change.

As now, many ministers are still unconvinced, but they are afraid to come forward. And as long as anyone with a little brain knows, after this incident, the people of the poor sect in the world will regard Li Chengqian as the holy lord, and they will rush into the East Palace like moths to be loyal to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian finished what he was going to say, and saw that no minister came out to oppose it, and he was relieved in his heart.

Turning back to Wang Fangyi, he said, "Go and bring over the things prepared by the Lone King." ”

"Yes!"

Soon the officials saw a car coming with a white marble stele standing on the car, and hundreds of people at the scene couldn't help but look at the car.

The officials standing at the front soon saw the ancient servant atmosphere carved by the patterns on the stele, which was by no means something that ordinary craftsmen could do, and then looked at the inscription was not large, and the entire stele should be engraved with more than 1,000 words.

Although I can't see what is written, the thin gold body with sharp bones can be recognized from afar.

"Lord Zhou's epitaph turned out to be written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp and marvel when they saw it clearly.

Later generations know that there were two calligraphy masters Ouyang Xun and Chu Suiliang during the Zhenguan period, in fact, there were also Yu Shinan who were recognized as calligraphers at that time.

If the scholars at that time died, if they could get the epitaph written by them and engrave it on the tombstone, it would be a death without regrets.

However, in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Ouyang Xun and Yu Shinan have passed away for many years, and only Chu Suiliang is still there.

Li Chengqian wrote the words "Yongmei" for Wei Zheng with a thin gold body as a tombstone, and all those who went to Chang'an to worship Wei Zheng were absolutely sincerely convinced by Li Chengqian's calligraphy.

In the past two or three years, whether it is the rubbing of this poem and calligraphy, it has long spread to the north and south of the river, and even spread to the Western Regions and Goryeo.

And this matter must be written in the history books, and how many people will copy and praise this stone tablet of more than 1,000 words?

Wouldn't the face of Li Shimin, who caused Zhou Jin commit suicide, be beaten to pieces?

Historical records can ensure the long-term circulation of time, and everyone in the world comes to rub the book and copy it to ensure the wide range of the current world, which is a three-dimensional slap in the face from time and space.

When the hundred officials were hurting Li Shimin's face, the craftsman who transported the stele had already installed Zhou Jin's tombstone on the pedestal, and the four big characters "live up to the world" were written on the forehead of the tombstone in a dashing and vigorous manner.

Li Chengqian saw that everything that should be done was done, so he walked in front of the stone monument and hurriedly lit three pillars of sandalwood, and Li Chengqian plugged it in with his own hands and turned around and got into the carriage in which the people were riding.

Li Chengqian's carriage went leisurely, and the guards of the East Palace who came with him also followed.

Leaving the civil and military officials standing in front of the tomb of Zhou Jin blankly.

After a while, Liu Xiangdao, the servant of the ministry, walked out first, bowed to Zhou Jin's tombstone first, and then turned to leave.

Seeing this, there were also those who stepped forward to bow to the tombstone of Zhou Jin and left, and there were also those who despised Zhou Jin's official position and turned away directly.

All the officials suddenly returned to Luoyang City.

Soon after they left, several fast horses came from the south, and the first thin-faced old man was the eldest grandson Wuji, who had just returned from the south, and next to him was the eldest grandson Chong, who accompanied him to exile in Qiongzhou.

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyesight is very good, and he saw the newly erected white marble stele on the side of the avenue from afar, and when they approached, the eldest grandson Wuji got off the horse first and stood on the side of the road and saw the stele engraved "live up to the Tang Dynasty".

"This was set up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Eldest Sun Chong said in surprise.

The eldest grandson Wuji did not make a sound, raised his hand to stroke his beard while carefully reading the inscription, and turned over on the horse with a long sigh.
