The news of Ma Zhou's death reached the palace, and after Li Er and Li Chengqian learned the news, their reactions were different. Flash Dance

"Everyone! King Jin has just sent news that Ma Zhou has passed away! Wang Yuan hurriedly ran to Li Er and said.

Li Er, who was working overtime overnight and reviewing the folds, heard that the brush in his hand fell, stood up and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Zhongshu Ling Ma Zhou has passed away!" Wang Yuandao.

"Ma Zhou!" Li Er cried when he heard this, and wept sadly over the loss of a virtuous minister.

After crying for a while, Li Er ordered to mourn for Ma Zhou, and issued an edict to posthumously present Ma Zhou as the governor of Youzhou and be buried in Zhaoling.

In the East Palace on the other side, when Li Er learned the news of Ma Zhou's death, Li Chengqian also knew the news.

"Lang Jun! The book made Ma Zhou die of illness! Wang Quan reported to Li Chengqian.

"Ma Zhou is really dead? Is this news accurate? Li Chengqian hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Du He asked first.

In the eyes of Du He, the current Li Er is already old and confused, maybe one day a wrong decision will abolish Li Chengqian and set up Li Zhi as the crown prince.

It's just that the crown prince Li Chengqian is very calm, and he has not promised them to do anything, originally, this time when he came to the East Palace, Du He wanted to say Li Chengqian again, he should do it immediately, and there should be no kindness of a woman.

Before he could speak, the bad news of Ma Zhou's death came, and Du He was worried that it was a fake news, so he asked Wang Quan again for confirmation.

Wang Quan first looked at Li Chengqian, after all, the prince was the master of the East Palace, and when he saw that Li Chengqian was not unusual, he said to Du He.

"It's true! It can't be fake! Ma Zhou has died of illness. ”

Li Chengqian said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal feelings of people! Ma Zhou has been working hard for state affairs for many years, and he has already hidden a lot of illnesses in his body, and once it breaks out, it is normal for him to die. ”

"The slave maid heard that Ma Zhou's condition had improved a little, but since taking the medicine prepared by His Majesty himself, it didn't take long for the news of his death to come, will this be ......?" Wang Quan said, which he got through the news.

If you want to say that Li Er poisoned Ma Zhou, Li Chengqian doesn't believe it, Ma Zhou's administrative ability is outstanding, and he has always been appreciated by Li Er.

Li Er once said: I am in Ma Zhou, as long as I can't see him for the time being, I will miss him.

Based on this, Li Er would not harm Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou did not die after taking Li Er's medicine.

"It seems that the rumors should be true, Your Majesty's heart is still towards the prince, this Ma Zhou is the right-hand man of King Jin, once he dies, King Jin's strength will be weakened."

"His Royal Highness's position as the crown prince will be as stable as Mount Tai, and His Majesty's love for the prince is really touching. 35xs," Duhe said.

In this way, he dispelled the matter of continuing to persuade Li Chengqian to do something, and when Ma Zhou died, the king of Jin could no longer pose a threat.

Why did he bother to persuade the prince to rebel?

Li Chengqian did not explain the reason, since it was rumored that Li Er poisoned Ma Zhou, it would be better for them to misunderstand.

Who let Ma Zhoushi take the medicine sent by Li Er, and he died of illness not long after!

said that he was not poisoned by Li Er, except for him Li Chengqian, who believes that there is no greasy in this.

Anyway, Ma Zhou's death was beneficial and harmless to him, so why should he do anything more.

"Whatever the reason, I don't want you to go around talking nonsense, lest you incur death." Li Chengqian said.

"Slave understands!" Wang Quan said.

"Your Highness, rest assured! Duhe has its own measure. Duhe said.

According to the funeral customs, Ma Zhou was buried in Zhaoling.

Not long after Ma Zhou was buried, Li Er was once again afflicted by illness during this time, so he let the prince supervise the country.

And Li Er took Li Zhi to Lishan Hot Spring, went on vacation to soak in the hot spring, and recuperated by the way.

The next day, Li Er appointed the Zhongshu Sheren as the Zhongshu Shilang, and let the Zhiren Master consult the machine service.

Although Li Er took a hot spring in Lishan to recuperate, and the crown prince supervised the country above the court, the real power was still in his hands.

Li Er's edict took Xue Wanche, the general of the Right Guard, as the general of the Qingqiu Road March, and Pei Xingfang, the general of the Right Guard, as the deputy commander of the march, leading more than 30,000 troops and warships from Laizhou to attack Goguryeo.

At the same time, Li Er also issued an edict to let the eldest grandson Wuji inspect the school book order, and know the affairs of the book and the province.

In short, the scheduling of upper-level officials, as well as some major decisions, still have to be decided by Li Er.

East Palace, Xiande Palace.

"Your Highness! Silla sent an envoy to report the funeral to my Tang Dynasty, and the queen of Silla, Kindman, has died! The new successor of Silla is Kim Seung-man, the cousin of King Jindeman of Silla. ”

"Silla asked the Tang Dynasty to canonize the new queen of Silla." An official in charge of diplomatic affairs from the Ministry of Rites said.

Since Silla surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, she has accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, and now that the Queen of Silla has been replaced, she naturally has to send someone to the Tang Dynasty to report the funeral, and request that the new queen be canonized, and ask the Tang Dynasty for the name of the dead queen.

Since the king of Silla surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he has always accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty as the king of Zhuguo and Lelang County.

It's a pity! Li Chengqian, the prince of the prison state, can't be the master of this matter, and it is still up to Li Er, who is soaking in the hot springs in Lishan, to decide.

"The widow knows! Immediately send someone to deliver Silla's credentials to Yeosan Onsen and hand it over to Your Majesty, and everything will be decided by Your Majesty. ”

"The officials will choose a few nicknames and send them to Lishan Hot Springs together, and they will be screened by His Majesty." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" The official of the ministry commanded.

"Do you have anything to discuss? If not, they'll all be scattered! Li Chengqian said.

"Congratulations to Your Highness!" The minister saluted Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian got up and immediately showed virtue in the hall, and everyone left.

Soon, Silla's national letter and the nickname chosen by the Ministry of Officials were sent to Li Shuangli.

"Everyone, this is an official letter from Chang'an." Wang Yuanxiang Li Erdao, who was soaking in the hot spring.

"What's important?" Li Zhi asked.

"It's the national letter of Silla, and it is said that the queen of Silla, Kindman, has died! Within Silla, his cousin Kim Seung-deok succeeded to the throne and asked His Majesty to canonize him, and the Ministry of Officials had already drawn up several nicknames for His Majesty's attention. Wang Yuan said.

"Silla is a subject country of my Tang Dynasty, and I have always been submissive to my Tang Dynasty, so I sent envoys to Silla to pay tribute, and canonized Kim Seung-deok as the new king of Silla, the king of the Pillar Kingdom and the King of Lelang County." Li Er said.

Let Wang Yuan bring the nickname selected by the ministry, and after Li Erhuan set one, he wrote an edict and sent it back to Chang'an, and sent it to Silla with the envoys.

"No!" Wang Yuan was ordered to retreat and convey Li Er's will to Chang'an.

The officials of the three provinces signed and sealed the edict, and then sent envoys to Silla to read out Li Er's edict.

Kim Seung-deok, the queen of Silla, was recognized by the suzerain.
