Chapter 711: Living and Dying Together
Among all the people, the first to wake up was the eldest grandson Wuji, who instructed the Ministry of Rites to treat the funeral and put Li Shimin's body into the coffin prepared in advance.
Then he strode up to Li Chengqian, took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, the ministers obey the will of the first emperor and respectfully invite the prince to ascend the throne." ”
"The ministers obeyed the will of the first emperor and respectfully invited the crown prince to ascend the throne!"
The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted on the mountain, and it was more important to determine the heir of the empire than to mourn.
"My father was mourned, and I was sad and indignant in my lonely heart, but for the sake of all the people, I could only endure the pain and ascend the throne. The ceremony was dated by the Ministry of Rites, and now it is important to handle the future affairs for the father. This matter was presided over by the eldest grandson's uncle, and Lord Wei Zheng was asked to assist. During the funeral, the affairs of the court are presided over by Lord Fang Xuanling, and if there is one who cannot be decided, it will be handed over to the lonely decision.
I obeyed my father's will, named Cai Cong as the king of the town, and crowned the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding the world's army. During the funeral, the war in the world was decided by Cai Cong on the spot. ”
Li Chengqian wept and cried, let the chamberlain take off his clothes and change into a crown robe, and finally walked up the steps and sat on the dragon chair, holding the jade seal with one hand.
"Your Ministers obey!"
The ministers bowed down to receive the decree with complicated expressions, although they were very dissatisfied with Cai Cong's reward, but at this moment, the first holy decree issued by Li Chengqian could never be refuted, otherwise what majesty would the new emperor have to say?
"Minister Cai Cong, thank you!"
Cai Cong stepped forward and said with a sad face, thinking of how he encouraged Li Shimin to fight psychological warfare with Jieli when they met for the first time.
Although it was because Li Shimin needed someone who could know the past and the future to affirm the legitimacy of his dominance, Cai Cong could not deny that he was a great emperor.
"Where is Li Junxian? Ordered Li Junxian to lead 50,000 troops to be stationed outside the city, ordered Xue Rengui to be responsible for the defense of the four gates of Chang'an City, and ordered Cheng to bite Jin Laoguo Gong to be responsible for all the garrison guards in the palace. ”
"Where is the Book of Rites? Wait for two hours to allocate enough manpower to handle the funeral. If there is a violation of etiquette and violation, the prime minister will be severely punished. ”
"Ordered Yousi to immediately make an obituary, edict the world, the first emperor died, the whole country mourned, no marriage leave for three years, no drinking and fun in March. Through the edict of the world, the prince is benevolent and virtuous, and he will succeed the unification, and the first emperor will be expected to enthrone the throne.
Obituary to all the countries of the world, the first emperor died and did not fight during the national funeral, and if there was an offender, he would be killed. Inform all the countries of the world that the new emperor is the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the date of the enthronement ceremony will be notified again. ”
The Taiji Hall was in chaos, and Li Chengqian sat on the dragon chair sadly, in a daze. Below, Cai Cong, the eldest grandson Wuji, and Fang Xuanling kept giving orders.
The top priority of the new emperor is to defend the new emperor, the funeral is also the top priority, and the world is also the top priority to appease the people, this is a chaotic period, fortunately, the prestige of the three people is very high, one by one orders are passed down, and the entire court is running rapidly.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not a good thing~"
Just when everyone was arranging matters, Gao Xian ran into the Taiji Hall crying, and Li Chengqian heard someone calling him, and looked up in a daze.
"Your Highness, the queen is dead! When Niangniang heard the news of His Majesty's death, she had a recurrence of her old illness and died! ”
Gao Xian fell to the ground and wailed and cried, Li Chengqian staggered to his feet, tried to open his eyes, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and fainted on the dragon chair.
Xiao Jumper hurriedly supported Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian fainted without a straight face, opened his eyelids and cried and shouted, "Father, Mother~"
Cai Cong's tears came down in a hurry, he ignored the other ministers, kicked away the people in front of him, and quickly ran towards the Lizheng Palace.
"Order, each wife entered the palace, and immediately went to the East Palace to invite the princess and Liangdi to the Lizheng Palace. Hurry, hurry! ”
Fang Xuanling commanded, and the last three words were almost shouted out.
The emperor and queen all collapsed in one day, what a big deal is this? How unfortunate is this? can be called the eternal sage, the latter is called the Li family, the Sun family, and the second is the Zhu family, the Ma family, such a virtuous queen passed away, how can people not grieve?
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was originally holding back his grief, finally couldn't hold back anymore, he squatted on the ground and hugged his head and cried, and the sad cry made people cry when they heard it.
Cai Cong wiped his tears while running, he hated these hateful tears that blurred his sight, otherwise he hadn't fallen frequently, maybe he would have arrived at the Lizheng Hall a long time ago.
When he ran to the Lizheng Palace, his robe was full of cuts and mud, and when he entered the door, he saw the crying red-eyed Princess Jinyang, while the eldest grandson was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not afraid of death at all.
Oh, yes! Husband and wife who are in love with each other can live and die together, and continue the front edge under the nine springs, which is much better than life and death, so what is the value of death?
Cai Cong slowly knelt down in front of the eldest grandson, this woman has been thinking about her husband's career all her life, and she can even spare her life for the sake of her husband.
But this woman has also lost her temper for him, and she has always paid attention to etiquette, because Cai Cong set fire to the mansion of the eldest grandson Anye, and beat him angrily with rattan like a woman.
The way Cai Cong cried while smoking, Cai Cong still remembers it vividly.
"Get up! You can't be so selfish. You also know that my mother is not assertive, if you don't get up, I will make a mistake in the future, who will beat me? Get up! On the way here, I kicked a minister down, and you beat me with a rattan! ”
Cai Cong said calmly, his voice gradually lowered, like an abandoned cub, frightened, uneasy, and helpless.
"Cheng Qian will be the emperor in the future, if you are not there, who will persuade us to quarrel? If you're not there, who can stop me from cleaning up Li Zhi? Hurry up and don't sleep, okay? ”
Cai Cong said and shook Changsun's cold hand, and his son hid his face and cried on the side, and today Chang'an will be enveloped in crying.
Not long after, Chu Yao and the crown princess came to the Lizheng Hall with a group of women, and at this time, Cai Cong was already lying on the bedside and sobbing.
Sister Cai gave Baiyi Baishun doting, and the eldest grandson gave him strict motherly love, which was the most cherished love he couldn't get in his previous life in this life, but now he is missing half of it, so how can he not be sad?
"Brother, don't cry, go out first! We are going to change the clothes of the queen mother and send her to my father's side. ”
Chu Yao also cried a lot, the eldest grandson doted on her, but for Chu Yao, there was no strict mother, and her two mothers were doting on her.
Cai Cong walked out in a trance, and was greeted by the depressed Li Chengqian, who saw Cai Congliu crying.
"I'm going to be a man without a father and a mother in the future..."
"Don't cry, I'm a prince who wants to cry, you will be the emperor in the future, shouldering the world, at this time, you must cheer up and think about the world."
"Fuck your shit, I don't even know what to do now. Do you think I'm dreaming, and it's good to wake up from a dream? ”
"I want to be dreaming, but it's not, it's not. Do you know? It's not! ”
Cai Cong grabbed Li Chengqian and roared, and the two men with snot and tears on their faces squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
