The Manchu monarchs and ministers had long been mentally prepared for Wei Zheng's death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The imperial doctors of the Imperial Medical Department regarded Wei Zheng's illness as a major event to Li Shimin every day, and as the days passed, Wei Zheng's condition became more and more serious, and he finally failed to get through it.

Despite his preparations, Li Shimin still felt that the pain was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Li Shimin does have feelings for Wei Zheng, after the Xuanwumen Change, Wei Zheng, who was the first strategist under the command of Li Jiancheng, the prince of Xi, was captured by Li Shimin's generals on the spot.

After the surrender of Wei Zheng from the initial unwilling, to later by Li Shimin's personality charm infected, gradually finally truly loyal to Li Shimin, it is because of loyalty, so dare to speak and act, but where the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers have any place that he can not see, he bravely stood up to defend and reprimand, from the first year of Zhenguan to the present, a full eighteen years, Wei Zheng on the sparse nearly 10,000, what he said pointed to the disadvantages of the times, countless times angered Long Yan, almost died, it can be said that throughout the Zhenguan Dynasty, these eighteen years, if it were not for Li Shimin reluctantly suppressed the fire in his heart, He must also pretend to be a good admonishment of the Holy Ming Monarch, Wei Zheng has died at least a hundred times.

He suppressed the king's tyranny with justice and morality, but in the end, he was defeated by time and illness.

Heaven is fair, whether good or evil, it will be taken away when it is time to take it.

On the second day of the bad news, Li Shimin issued an order to strike the dynasty on the fifth day, the monarchs and ministers went to the Wei Mansion to mourn, the sky just dawned, the Wei Mansion was crowded with people, and the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not fall all to the ground, not only that, but even the people of the market Hu Shang Zhuang came a lot, and the three layers inside and the three layers outside blocked the entire Vermilion Bird Street.

In the Wei Mansion, Li Shimin personally arranged Wei Zheng's posthumous affairs, which should have been buried according to the national ceremony, but Wei Zheng's wife Pei Shi said that Wei Zheng's last wish before his death was that the funeral should be simple, and he should not be wasted because of him alone, and the funeral was not the will of the deceased.

Li Su learned the news the day after Wei Zheng's death, and after hearing the bad news, Li Su was stunned for a long time, looking sad, and immediately ordered his troops to prepare horses and hurried to Chang'an City.

Came to Suzaku Street, the whole spacious street has been blocked tightly by officials and people, it is difficult for people and horses to pass, under the efforts of the tribes, Li Su finally came to the door of the Wei Mansion, only to see the white flags outside the gate, the cry echoed, hundreds of people knelt in front of the door and cried bitterly, into the gate of the Wei Mansion, the simple front yard was full of civil and military officials, and even the Guanlong Gate Valve and the families of the Shandong Shi clan have sent people to mourn.

Li Shimin looked lonely and sad, and sat quietly in the main hall, where Wei Zheng's coffin was parked.

An important minister who has done his best for the country, the coffins after his death are just very simple and unpretentious ordinary willow coffins, Li Shimin wept and sighed sadly, seeing Li Su enter the hall, Li Shimin only nodded slightly, Li Su pursed his lips, and silently bowed to Wei Zheng's coffin.

Wei Zheng's eldest son, Wei Shuyu, stepped forward to salute and thank him, Li Su hugged him, his lips squirmed a few times, but after all, he only turned into a long sigh, and those so-called comforting words such as "festival mourning and change" are empty and hypocritical at this time, and it is better to be silent.

That night, Li Shimin personally guarded the soul of Wei Zheng, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not fall, and all of them accompanied the front yard of the Wei Mansion, quietly mourning and recalling the most upright minister of the Zhenguan Dynasty.

Because Wei Zheng had explained not to be extravagant before his death, the monks and Taoists were all done in a hurry, and they were ready to be buried the next day.

Li Shimin personally helped the coffin, Li Jing, Li Jicheng, biting gold and other eight famous generals carried the coffin, the coffin just went out of the door, the door and outside the door suddenly erupted into a shocking cry, both officials and the people, at this moment are crying and wailing, Li Shimin helped the coffin and cried almost fainted, the courtiers have thrown the coffin to the ground, refused to get up for a long time, and the people grabbed the ground with their heads, calling the sky unfair.

Li Su also endured his grief and saluted Wei Zheng's coffin.

Wei Zheng is an impeccable good person, an upright person, Zhenguan Dynasty for a full eighteen years, these eighteen years, Wei Zheng put all his hard work and energy into this young dynasty, not afraid of power, not afraid of swords, just to prove the road of the world, throw life and death out of the degree.

It can be said that none of the monarchs and ministers who are funeral today really like Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng is too upright, his eyes have never been black and white, he can't tolerate a grain of sand, what he pursues is the Datong realm of "water to clear", over the years, most of the monarchs and ministers in the court have been involved in him, and they are more or less jealous of him in their hearts.

He is a person who is not tolerated by the world, and in the same way, he cannot tolerate any trace of ugliness and darkness in the world, and now that he has passed away peacefully, there is finally a less noisy voice in the court, and finally there is a little more quiet and peaceful.

However, the size of the crowd at today's funeral is not inferior to Gaozu's funeral, every cry, every salute, people are from the heart, and the grief revealed is not false at all.

You can dislike such a person, however, you can't help but respect him.

Because his life was dedicated to the "Tao" he pursued, and again and again he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life for it, and from the day he stood on the court, he took his life as a sacrifice and enshrined it on the altar of the "Tao", and he only lived for the common people.

Is this kind of person annoying? It is indeed annoying, because of his old-fashioned and stubborn integrity, because of his harsh justice that cannot be tolerated by the world.

But is this kind of person worthy of respect? Ask yourself, what he can do, if it were you, can you do it? The simplest analogy, in the face of a cold and shining butcher's knife, do you still have the courage to insist on the truth, insist on your own opinions, and scold the "faint king" three times regardless of death?

If you can't do that, then be honest and respectful and bow to him.

Li Su followed behind the team of monarchs and ministers, silently following the team.

In fact, Li Su didn't like Wei Zheng very much, since he came to this world in the ninth year of Zhenguan, there were only a handful of contacts between him and Wei Zheng.

For people who are too righteous and upright, Li Su always takes a detour unconsciously, because he knows that he is not a good person, and the bad is not pure, and the definition of good and evil is very vague, so he acts with a bit of a taste of both good and evil, if Li Su is a person like Wei Zheng, it is naturally intolerable, Li Su is self-aware, and generally does not go to Wei Zheng.

The friendship is so general, but Li Su still feels extremely sad today, and this feeling is incomprehensible to outsiders.

Like Li Shimin's feelings, what Li Shimin and Li Su are sad about is not Wei Zheng himself, but because of the lack of an Optimus Prime Stone in the Tang Dynasty, and he is crying about the huge loss suffered by the country due to the loss of Wei Zheng, a minister.

The big waves wash the sand, the old and the new alternate, the old people and things, just like a page of a book read, turned over, can't see it, the reader smacks his mouth, and is still reminiscing about the long charm and reflection left by the page he turned over, which has not dissipated for a long time.
