Chapter 57: The Aftermath
Chapter 57: The Aftermath
Luo Yulong sat beside Luo Rucai for a long time before he slowly got up and pressed the quilt for Luo Rucai, looking at Luo Rucai's originally tall body, it was almost impossible to see under the quilt. He took a deep breath and held back his tears, but his eyes were red, but he couldn't hide them.
Luo Yulong called Luo Yujiao and asked her to take good care of Luo Rucai.
Then he went out, and Li Zhengfang was waiting for him.
Li Zhengfang has been under house arrest by Luo Rucai's side for a long time, he has long been used to it, and he knows that Luo Yulong will definitely come to ask him.
As soon as Li Zhengfang saw Luo Yulong, he immediately saluted and said, "Meet the prince." ”
Luo Yulong hurriedly helped Li Zhengfang up and said, "Doctor Li has worked hard for a long time for his father's illness, and Yulong has thanked him again." "When you speak, you have to salute.
Li Zhengfang hurriedly got up and said: "By all means, Your Majesty treats his ministers with the grace of heaven and earth, and the ministers dare not do their best to repay them, but in the current situation, the ministers really have no choice." ”
Although Luo Yulong already knew the result, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no way?" ”
Li Zhengfang's heart suddenly burst out, the so-called companion is like a companion tiger. His ancestor Li Shizhen is the imperial doctor, and he understands the difficulties of being an imperial doctor too well, if he can't cure the disease, he may die. So his heart hung up suddenly, and he said with a little apprehension: "The minister is in Nanjing, and he has also visited famous doctors in Jiangnan to discuss this disease, but it is just ----" Li Zhengfang shook his head and said: "If Your Majesty recuperates in Nanjing, he will be able to prolong his life for several years if he is in Nanjing, he will be able to prolong his life for several years. ”
"It's just that since Your Majesty's expedition to the west, there has not been a day of rest, often working day and night, and eating and drinking impermanently. The energy is too draining, so that today, there is really no power to return to heaven. ”
Luo Yulong was silent for a while and said, "How long is it?" ”
Li Zhengfang's mouth opened and closed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "More than ten days." Less than ----"
Luo Yulong frowned and said, "How much?" ”
"Within today." Li Zhengfang said in a low voice.
Luo Rucai's life has reached the point where the candle flame is faint, and a little big change can bring Luo Rucai's life to an end. Luo Yulong's body moved, waved his hand, and said, "You go down." ”
Li Zhengfang didn't move, but gritted his teeth and said: "The minister risked death to hear that Yicheng is not a place. ”
When Luo Yulong heard this, he was furious at first. looked at Li Zhengfang angrily, but saw Li Zhengfang kneeling on the ground with a thud, without saying a word. He looked like he was willing to die. A breath suddenly dissipated in Luo Yulong's heart.
Of course he understands what Li Zhengfang is talking about?
In many cases, Luo Rucai's body cannot be considered alone. The current form must be taken into account.
Luo Rucai's death in Yicheng is a bit out of place.
For the nascent Bactrian regime, the foundation was far from solid. Luo Rucai's death was a great blow to the nascent Great Xia regime. Luo Yulong also knew that he was far from being able to compare with Luo Rucai. Fortunately, Zhang Xuan forced the Qing army back.
Otherwise, the main force will be defeated, and Luo Ru will die again, how to recover this situation, Luo Yulong shuddered when he thought about it.
Therefore, in order to recover the impact, Luo Rucai's aftermath is by no means a simple funeral, but a political event. Luo Yulong felt this very keenly. However, Yicheng is not a suitable place, and in the end, he can return to Nanjing and mourn again.
People are in a high position like this, life and death are not only their own affairs.
As soon as he calmed down, Luo Yulong quickly made a decision even if he was sad in his heart. Pick up Luo Ru before returning to Wuchang.
Nanjing is a little too far away, and in any case, Wuchang also has the name of Xijing. Of course, if he could, Luo Yulong wanted Luo Rucai to return to Nanjing, but now the center of gravity of the entire Great Xia regime was in the newly determined Huguang land, and it was not something he could go back to if he wanted to.
It seems that Lang Zhong's words have some reservations.
When Luo Yulong returned to Wuchang with Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai's body could barely be maintained. It's just that the whole person fell into a coma, occasionally opened his cloudy eyes to look, and then closed them, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Luo Rucai immediately summoned Qian Qianyi, and what he talked about was nothing else, but Luo Rucai's future.
The aftermath of every emperor is a big project. Coupled with the new emperor's accession to the throne, and so on, it is the responsibility of this Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
To be honest, Qian Qianyi's heart was a little excited.
Without him, compared with the treacherous and cunning Luo Rucai, Luo Yulong is a little more tender.
Qian Qianyi dealt with Luo Rucai, and when he spoke face-to-face, he felt that Luo Rucai was very good at talking, but when he went back and thought about it carefully, he realized that all Luo Rucai's words were avoiding the important and light. At most, give a sweet date, and the real power has always been in Luo Rucai's hands.
Luo Rucai's vision is poisonous, no matter how fanciful Qian Qianyi says. Luo Ru has his own certain rules.
But Luo Yulong is far inferior to Luo Rucai.
Now that Luo Rucai is dead, Qian Qianyi's heart seems to have gone to a big rock.
Don't look at what Confucianism likes, in fact, a boss who is too shrewd and has the power of life and death is not easy for anyone, and everyone wants their boss to be a fool.
Of course, Qian Qianyi was not stupid enough to appear to be stupid, his tone was a little heavy, and he said: "Please also ask Your Highness to mourn and change, and Daxia will also have His Highness's support." ”
Luo Yulong said: "Lone knows how to deal with the aftermath of my father. Mr. Qian may have a charter. ”
Qian Qianyi said: "The minister already has a charter. The minister thought that if His Majesty supported the ----"
Luo Yulong interrupted Qian Qianyi's words and said, "I can't support it anymore." ”
Qian Qianyi said: "Then I have to mourn in Wuchang." ”
Immediately, Qian Qianyi said how to mourn, if the spirit is stopped and other etiquette.
Luo Yulong didn't care much about it, he didn't understand these at all. It's just at the mercy of you. There is only one thing that Luo Yulong has to pay attention to, and that is Luo Rucai's mausoleum.
Qian Qianyi said: "When Your Majesty was in Nanjing, he had already circled the mausoleum. “
"Where?" Luo Yulong asked. He didn't expect Luo Rucai to even be ready for this.
"It's on the east side of the Ming Tomb." Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty said at that time that you want to be a neighbor with Ming Taizu. Just ----"
Luo Yulong said: "It's just what's wrong? ”
Qian Qianyi said: "The best position on the Purple Mountain has been occupied by the Ming Tomb of Xiaoling, and it is good that Your Majesty is buried here, but it has to be considered later." ”
Luo Yulong understood what Qian Qianyi meant, Luo Rucai's location is the ancestral tomb, and in the future, the Emperor of Daxia will be buried behind Luo Rucai, and the emperor's mausoleum, the project is huge, and the movement occupies a mountain, and the Purple Mountain is not a big mountain, and in feng shui, it was taken away a lot by the Ming Tomb.
I'm afraid that the emperors of later generations, including Luo Yulong, will not be easy to settle.
It's just that Luo Yulong must not give up the Ming Tomb of filial piety. So he thought about it and said, "Now that the mausoleum has not started, let's settle it for the time being." Wait a minute. ”
"Yes." Qian Qianyi said: "With the intention of the minister, the Dabao'en Temple will be included in the royal worship, and Your Majesty will temporarily stop here and wait for the mausoleum to be built and buried." As for the location, after His Royal Highness returns to Nanjing, it is not too late to look for it carefully. ”
The emperor's mausoleum has always been a big project, even if Luo Yulong reduces some expenses, it will definitely not be built in a day or two.
It was only a few months since the founding of Great Xia, and even if you add the time you have been in Jiangnan, it is only a year or two, so where can you have time to do such a big project, and there is no money to do it. Therefore, after Luo Rucai dies, I am afraid that it will take a year or two to stop before he can be buried.
We have to wait for the mausoleum to be built.
There is no way to do this, and such things are not unheard of in history.
Luo Rucai nodded and said, "Okay." Let's do it. ”
Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty's posthumous affairs, that's all." However, there is one of the most important things, which should be paid attention to by His Highness. ”
"What else?" Luo Yulong said.
Qian Qianyi said: "It's the Great Xia Jiangshan Sheji. ”
This is what Luo Yulong has always been worried about. Hearing Qian Qianyi raise it at this moment, his expression became serious, and he said, "What did Mr. Qian teach me?" ”
Qian Qianyi's heart moved, at this moment he can be regarded as truly entering the core of power in Great Xia, no matter how great his power was before, it was only at the executive level.
