Luoyang Imperial City.

When the emperor died, the mourning hall was located in the Jiangxiao Hall where he died, and the Zi Palace was hung with white silk and blue brocade curtains. In front of the coffin, there are two arm-thick long candles, and a gilded bronze incense burner is inserted with three pillars of finger-thick sandalwood. Green smoke swirled through the hall, as if to soothe his soul.

Won a hundred battles on the battlefield, was unstoppable, and Li Cunmiao, who won the world on the horse, died like this, and died very miserably, without a single relative by his side. The palace attendants, palace people, and pro-soldiers all fled in all directions, and the ministers who had been around him were nowhere to be seen. The most favored Empress Liu escaped from the palace with a large amount of gold and silver treasures before he could breathe.

After Li Siyuan entered Luoyang, he expelled the rebellious soldiers who robbed everywhere in the palace, and sent people to collect the emperor's body that was set on fire.

Dressed in mourning clothes, Taiyuan Tongju Lu Huan, as the representative of the crown prince, made a big salute in front of the emperor's coffin, and stood silently for a while after putting on the incense, and then sighed deeply.

Empress Liu, who was originally favored, absconded with the money, and after being sent back to Luoyang, she was ordered by Li Siyuan to become a monk in the palace and placed under house arrest in the temple of the palace. In front of the emperor's coffin, it was the original concubine Han and Concubine Yi who took several concubines who were named ladies to take turns in the Zi Palace to guard his spirit.

is miserable and miserable, there is not even a child or grandchild to be buried in front of this coffin.

Seeing that Lu Harmony had finished saluting, Concubine Shu led several ladies to return the salute to Lu Harmony.

Lu Huan said: "The prince ordered me to escort the coffin of the first emperor back to Yanmen near the tomb of Emperor Wu for burial, I don't know what your plans are, whether to return to Jinyang or to return to your mother's house?" Before I left, the prince specially explained that there will be no shortage of devotion from all the mothers. ”

After hearing this, Han felt bitter in his heart, and tears suddenly flowed down: "You are an old minister of the first dynasty, and the first emperor was treated favorably during his lifetime. The emperor died, and there was nothing the clan could do to suffer from this catastrophe. Fortunately, the prince is still here, and you will assist him well, and the hair office will definitely not treat you badly! Concubine De and I are going back to Jinyang first, and as for the ladies, we will make a decision after discussion, and we can't force it. It's just that the prison country will not necessarily agree to the first emperor's burial in Yanmen. ”

Lu Huan nodded: "This matter will naturally be negotiated with the prison state, and try to persuade him to agree." ”

Li Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied Lu Harmony to pay his respects, waited impatiently outside the Jiangxiao Palace, and Li Siyuan had an explanation, not allowing him to communicate with the imperial concubine more, so he entered the palace and said: "Lu Envoy Jun has finished the memorial, and the prison over there in the Xingsheng Palace is waiting to be summoned, you see ......."

Lu Hui had no choice but to say goodbye to Concubine Han Shu and leave the emperor's Zigong Palace with Li Qi behind.

Out of the Jiangxiao Palace, Lu Huo said to Li Qi: "Thank you for your care, Li Gong's friendship, thank him again in the future." ”

Li Qi knew that he was talking the opposite, but he just sneered and did not answer.

Lu Hui followed Li Qi to Xingsheng Palace, and the eunuch on duty outside the palace gate saw them coming over and reported loudly to the palace: "Lu Huan, the judge of Taiyuan Mansion, has come to see you!" ”

The sound of Yu Zhiying and the herald came from outside the palace gate into the main hall.

This made Lu Harmony angry enough, Li Siyuan actually dared to entertain himself with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven summoning foreign envoys, and his disobedience was clearly revealed. It's just that Li Siyuan can't read a few big characters, so he definitely won't think of this trick, it must be the idea of those unscrupulous ministers of the former Tang Dynasty who originally defected to Zhu Liang.

It's just that things have to be done after all, Lu Huo took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and then stepped into the main hall.

This palace built after Zhu Wen became emperor is magnificent, magnificent, Lu Hui in the Luoyang court under the gaze of a group of courtiers, unhurried and unhurried, until he came to the front of the imperial steps, then looked up at Li Siyuan, who was sitting behind the imperial case, bowed and said: "Xiaguan Taiyuan Mansion sentenced Lu Hui to see the prison country, there is a prince's edict to convey!" ”

He deliberately bit the words "Xiaguan" and "See" very hard, and used the etiquette of subordinates to see Shangguan, which means that everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and you are just a higher rank than me. He took out the prince's letter, and the eunuch standing beside Li Siyuan held it in both hands and placed it on the imperial case, but Li Siyuan did not get up to meet it.

After the handsome case, Li Siyuan was like a tiger that chose people to devour, staring at Lu Huo motionlessly. He has a rough appearance, a black face and a beard, a black gauze soft hat on his head, a python robe and jade belt on his body, although his beard and hair have turned gray, but his body exudes a majestic bearing that has commanded the army for many years.

Li Siyuan didn't speak, and the privy envoy An Chongyu, who was standing on the right side of the stairs, snorted angrily: "Why, when you see the prison country, you don't bow down, do you want to rebel?" ”

Lu Hui glanced at An Chongzhi and replied proudly: "A certain is the prince's envoy, although the prison country is high and powerful, comparable to the prince, isn't it the prince's vassal?" Everyone is an official in the same court, and there is no reason to pay a big salute. ”

An Chongzhi just wanted to speak, but heard Li Siyuan say: "Is the prince okay?" The remains of the first emperor are parked in the Zi Palace, isn't he going to come back to bury the first emperor and give up the throne?! ”

Lu Hui knew that Li Siyuan's style was to give himself a dismount, so he was not moved at all, and replied calmly: "The prince knew that Luoyang was chaotic, and he was already frightened and abnormal, and when he heard that the first emperor had died, he was overly sad, and after arriving in Jinyang, he couldn't afford to be ill, and he really couldn't leave to return to Beijing. I hope that the prison country will understand the difficulties here. ”

Li Siyuan sat behind the imperial case, and his words were cold: "Hmph, I'm afraid the prince has a heart disease!" When you are an old man with dizzy eyes and blocked ears and eyes, don't you know anything about Jinyang? I heard that the prince often fishes and hunts, and he is very lively, and the old man has repeatedly sent people to invite him, but he is trying every means to shirk it, I think he is not ready to inherit the treasure! ”

He spoke with a lot of anger, and after this series of questions, angry voices buzzed in this hall!

After hearing this, Lu Huan replied: "The prince's condition is good and bad, and there are really unspeakable secrets. If the Li Emperor is intended, take it by himself, and please return the bones of the first emperor and bury them in the tomb of Emperor Wu. ”

Li Siyuan didn't expect Lu Huo to speak so hardly, he was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with it, and then he became angry and shouted: "The old man will definitely teach you a lesson today!" Come on, drag this Lu Harmonic down, and reproduce the twenty boards to punish his crimes! ”

He has been in the army for a long time, and if someone is offended, he naturally plays the board, and now he is used in the court, and the same is true.

Prime Minister Dou Lu Ge saw that the guards had put Lu Huo out of the hall, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't beat people to death, just drop the handle." ”

Li Siyuan waved his hand when he heard this, and the eunuchs standing beside him hurriedly followed out of the main hall.

After a while, Lu Hui came back with blood on his back.

"Hmph, are you accepting it now?!" Li Siyuan asked.

This Lu Huo was beaten violently, and he didn't dare to be as tough as just now, otherwise he was afraid that Qiu Bazhen, who was killed by this god, would kill him. It's still important to save his life first, so he turned his head and didn't answer.

Li Siyuan snorted, turned around and left, leaving Lu Huanliang on the main hall, and didn't care......
