Chapter Seventy-One: Two Tree Holes

Li Guang's funeral was grand and solemn, and there was no glory for the Marquis, and there was no glory for the funeral of Yangling.

In addition, the emperor gave Li Guang all the mourning honors he could, including sending the emperor's eldest son Liu Ju to attend the funeral in person and follow the entire funeral process.

Li Dang hurried back from the foot of Qilian Mountain, and four horses were killed along the way, even so, by the time he returned to Chang'an, Li Ling had already finished his seven-day filial piety in front of his grandfather's grave.

The matter of Li Ling's succession to Li Guang's title has been settled.

Yun Lang saw this young man at the funeral, his face maintained an inherent sense of grief, but he was able to arrange the funeral in an orderly manner, which made Yun Lang very surprised.

Huo Guang naturally has such an ability, maybe he is more intelligent and sleek than Li Ling, but he is not as good as Li Ling in terms of calmness.

It can be seen that Li Ling is very close to the prince, and the prince is also very good, and the whole funeral process did not show any behavior that does not conform to his identity, whether it is saluting or reciting the mourning speech on behalf of the emperor, it is all clear and clear, and has won unanimous praise from all the courtiers who participated in the funeral.

In the process of the funeral, Li Guang's wife Peng was very wary of Yun Lang and Cao Xiang, and this legend created the old woman who had a woman's menstrual shame (aunt), and she had to entertain Yun Lang and Cao Xiang in person despite her grief.

As long as Yun Lang mentioned Li Kang to Cao Xiang, she would skillfully change the topic.

Yun Lang's original intention was to ask the emperor to award a reward to Li Kang first, confirm the identity of Li Dang Guan Neihou, and then bury Li Guang in the name of the father of Guan Nei Hou, so that in the tradition of filial piety of the Han Dynasty, the emperor must give Li Guang a higher mourning honor than Li Kang Guan Neihou to meet the specifications of the funeral.

Peng doesn't seem to have the idea of recovering higher mourning for her husband, she cares more about living people, such as Li Ling.

When Honglu Siqing sent the document recognizing Li Ling as the head of the Li family and inheriting Li Guang's title to Li Ling, Peng's gaze at Yunlang and Cao Xiang became gentler.

It was only at this time that she realized that Li Ling's rapid growth in the future could not be separated from Li Kang's help, and the help of Yun Lang and Cao Xiang.

At this time, Yun Lang and Cao Xiang no longer had any thoughts about Li Ling, a young man.

It is almost impossible for a young man who is firmly bound by his family to have his own independent thinking.

A young man who has already had a firm stance early on is not the object that Yun Lang wants to cultivate.

Therefore, after Li Guang's funeral was over, Yunlang and Cao Xiang immediately left Yanglingyi, and even Peng's hospitality could not stop them from leaving.

This made Peng very disappointed......

Eight days later, Yun Lang came to Yanglingyi again, because Li Kang had finally returned from Hexi.

The once honest young man has become a calm and bearded man.

The long journey made him look a little haggard, but his eyes, almost hidden by his beard, were clear.

He was going to live in the thatched hut where his nephew lived for another three months, and when his filial piety was over, Huo Qubing would take the evil king of Hun and the Huns into Beijing.

When Cao Xiang came, Yun Lang and Li Kang were drinking tea, and during the three months that Li Dang kept filial piety, he did not eat meat, did not drink, and did not sleep with his wife.

"Some people say that my father was forced to death by Wei Qing." Li Dang said in a deep voice.

Yun Lang thought for a moment and said, "Who is this person?" ”

Li Dang frowned and said, "I don't know, I still can't remember who said this to me." ”

Cao Xiang waved his hand and said, "You should ask your father's personal guards, and then ask your father's military commander, and then make a decision." ”

Li Dang said thoughtfully: "It's very strange, the general who escaped death on the battlefield died of illness, and my father's military Sima Zhantong is nowhere to be found." ”

Yun Lang nodded and said, "Since this is the case, this matter has nothing to do with General Sima!" ”

Cao Xiang said with a smile: "It's too much." ”

Li Dang nodded and said: "That's the case, in fact, my father once left me a letter before leaving Youbeiping, and after I came back, my wife gave it to me, and it explained things very carefully." ”

Cao Xiang frowned and said, "He wants to use his life to prove that he is worthy of the position of marquis?" ”

Li dared to say: "My father knows that there is no hope of being a marquis in this life!" I knew it when I was thirty-one. ”

Li Dang saw that Yun Lang and Cao Xiang were both looking at him in surprise, and continued: "When King Liang issued an edict, my father did not move......

Therefore, the reason why my father fought bravely all these years was not to seal the marquis, but to save the life of the Li family.

In the letter, my father said: As long as the Li family is still useful to His Majesty one day, then the Li family will be safe and worry-free.

He also said that the reason why I allowed my elder brothers to expelle me from the Li family in the early years was not because they didn't love me, but because they wanted me to stand on my own, and when the Li clan was unlucky, there would still be a relative who could take refuge in it, so that I would not starve to death!

My eldest brother is the most promising of our three brothers, when my father shot the Huns in Zhuozhou, just right, my mother gave birth to the eldest brother, my eldest brother then took the name of the household, hoping that he could take the Li family to the peak of glory, as for the father, there is no way out in this life except to die on the battlefield to atone for His Majesty.

It's a pity that in the battle of Baishan Mountain, my eldest brother died in Hook Mountain, and my father was in despair...... It wasn't until after our brother succeeded in the battle of Baishan that my father discovered that his third son was also a good man...... The Li family had hope again, so he was more active in asking for war, and did not hesitate to stay in the bitter cold land of Youbeiping for six years!

Just when my father was full of hope, my second brother Li Shuzhan died in Daqingshan...... My father...... My father felt that his life had become a burden to the family...... Maybe they'll kill me again...... He also said that as long as he lived, his children and grandchildren would not die well......"

Large swelling of tears welled up in Li Kang's eyes, and tears rolled down his heavy beard.

In the end, he wailed like a helpless baby, opening his arms to hold Yun Lang and Cao Xiang, asking for a little comfort.

Yun Lang and Cao Xiang hugged Li Kang tightly, and they also burst into tears.

Zhang, who came to deliver food to Li Kang, heard her husband crying outside the hut, and when she came to the door, she found that her husband was hugging his two brothers, and the three of them cried together, dropped the food box, and knelt outside the door and burst into tears.

Li Kang's words have been hidden in his stomach for two days, and the only people in this world who dare to talk about these words are Yun Lang and Cao Xiang.

As soon as Li's heartache was confided, he could no longer control his desire to talk, and for a whole night, Yunlang and Cao Xiang were listening to Li Dang.

Yun Lang has always thought that a good friend should be a good tree hole, a tree hole with an echo, which can hold the words that a good friend is inconvenient and difficult to say to people.

From this point of view, he and Cao Xiang, a friend, have done very successfully.

If Li Dare not confide in him, God knows what he will be tormented by these things.

In the history books, this guy will do things to beat Wei Qing, I am afraid that he has been suppressed into a pervert by these things.

When the sun came out, the bright sunlight shone on the three pairs of peach-like red and swollen eyes, Cao Xiang wanted to laugh very much, Yun Lang also wanted to laugh, Li Dang shook his head and said: "There is no one here, you can laugh if you want to laugh, my father will not be surprised." ”

Cao Xiang immediately pointed at Yun Lang's eyes and laughed, and Yun Lang also stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Dare Cao Xiang's eyes and laughed.

In the end, Li Kang, who was dedicated to keeping filial piety and felt that it was not suitable to laugh in front of his father's grave, finally couldn't help it anymore and laughed louder than the two of them......

Outside the door, Zhang knelt in front of his father-in-law's grave, listened to her husband's laughter, wiped the floating soil on the father-in-law's tombstone with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Your hard work is not in vain, my husband is indeed as you say - a good man!" ”

Yunlang Cao Xiang's eyes were swollen and he couldn't see anyone, so he had to accompany Li Dang to live in a thatched hut and eat coarse tea and light rice for two days.

On the third day, no matter how Li Kang pleaded, the two of them also decided to go back to Yanglingyi, Li Kang had already stepped out of the psychological shadow, and he could only accompany this guy to endure hardships if he continued to stay, and it was useless.

Instead of letting the three of them suffer together, it is better to let one of them suffer, this is the best solution that Yun Lang and Cao Xiang think.

Anyway, Li Guang is Li Kang's father, not his father and Cao Xiang's!
