Chapter 789: Filial Piety, Filial Piety
Night fell quickly.
Gradually, the guests left.
The moon ducked into the dark clouds, and the night became a little deserted.
The entire Changsun Mansion was clothed in plain cloth, and the white lanterns under the eaves emitted a faint light.
in the hall.
The red coffin lay quietly in the middle, and the tall old woman slept silently in the coffin.
The filial son and grandson knelt on both sides, the fire plate kept flickering, and Li Tai put the paper money into the fire plate one by one.
There are not only Kaiyuan Tongbao, but also Datang copper coins made of paper.
The eldest grandson Wuji and the others knelt with some leg pain.
Li Tai was dressed in plain clothes, kneeling in the crowd, and he looked so conspicuous at a glance.
But it's not surprising, after all, Li Tai's stature is not short.
Central Plains customs.
It is said that after seven days, the deceased returned to his soul to take a last look at the world he was living in and to see his loved ones.
It can be regarded as giving the deceased his last wish before death.
After the night of the soul, that is, the bridge returns to the bridge and the road to return, the heaven of the heaven that should go to the heavenly court, the hell that should go to hell, and the reincarnation of the reincarnation.
Although the eldest grandson Wuji is a Xianbei person, after years of sinicization, he has also begun to practice the customs of the Han people.
So, also prepare for the mortuary for seven days.
"Mother, do you see? Qingque and Gao Ming have kept vigil for you, and the entire Tang Dynasty is only qualified by the royal family! The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Li Tai and Li Chengqian, full of joy.
I have to say that there are definitely no more than three people in this world who are qualified to let Li Tai keep his spirit, and it is obvious that Old Woman Gao is the fourth.
The eldest grandson Wuji is full of joy, full of joy, he has paid so much for Datang, His Majesty and Niangniang really haven't forgotten our eldest grandson's family.
"Uncle, if you are sleepy, you can go back and rest, just a few of us here." Li Tai looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "It's late at night now, and my uncle has to be busy with the court and guests tomorrow, so don't be tired." ”
"We young people are strong, and it's nothing to stay up late, uncle, you better go back and rest first." Li Tai said.
"Father, what my brother-in-law said is right, you better rest first, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with tomorrow." The eldest grandson also followed the persuasion.
"In that case, then I'll take my leave." The eldest grandson Wuji, with the support of the slave, staggered to his feet.
People are fat and much older.
I really can't do it if I stay up late.
What's more, it's still staying up all night kneeling to keep vigil.
Li Chengqian's eyes rolled slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.
I'm a dignified prince!
Wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous to be here to keep a vigil today?
I am the future emperor, the future son of heaven!
How can a woman kneel here?
Li Tai came to guard the spirit, that is the filial piety he should enter, since Li Tai married the daughter of the eldest grandson family, he is naturally a member of the eldest grandson family, but what does I have to do with the eldest grandson family?
I'm Li Chengqian!
The prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Li family of Longxi, is the most glorious person in the future of the Li family!
Li Chengqian felt that this was an insult to him by the eldest grandson's family.
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji left, he stood up, arched his hand, and said, "Brother Wei ate a bad stomach today, and now he is feeling unwell, so Brother Wei will leave first." ”
"Qingque, you will finish this night for my royal family, don't cheat and play tricks!" Li Chengqian said, and then turned to leave.
Everyone was a little stunned.
Eldest Sun Chong looked at his best friend who was also a relative, and his eyes were full of complicated eyes.
At the moment, I don't know what he thinks.
After a long time, he sighed secretly.
Li Tai shook his head helplessly, his brother.
A hint of disappointment also flashed in Eldest Sun Lian's eyes.
Such a person is not what he should be loyal to at all!
Next.
In the court, the ministers talked a lot.
Although the old woman Gao died, she was not a member of the royal family, so even if Li Shimin was her son-in-law, there was no need to stop the dynasty and keep filial piety.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong have returned, waiting for His Majesty's order ten miles away." Wei Zheng stood up, and said angrily: "This time the Western Regions are conquered by the West, and the Western Regions have entered the harvest of my Tang Dynasty for thousands of miles, and the territory of my Tang Dynasty is connected to Persia, which can really be described as a universal celebration!" ”
"Great goodness." Li Shimin stroked his beard very happily and said, "Tomorrow, hundreds of officials will go out of the city with me to greet me!" ”
"Whoa!"
The ministers hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!" A figure stood up, and it was a speech official.
Yanguan is the largest group of trolls in Datang, and his official position is not big, but his power is not small.
The sky is scolding the air, and you can also listen to the wind.
In other words, as long as there is a little rumor, they can stand up and scold, but the emperor is helpless to take them.
Seeing that Youyan official stood up, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little pain in his head.
"What?" Li Shimin asked.
"The minister impeached the eldest grandson Wuji, who has no royal law and does not obey the humility!" The official spoke.
"Oh? What is the kingless law? What is disrespectful? Li Shimin frowned and asked, today the eldest grandson Wuji did not go to the court, but kept filial piety at home.
"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Wuji is a minister, Wei Wangtai is a prince, ranking first, it is reported that the eldest grandson Wuji actually asked Wei Wangtai to go to the vigil for his old mother, isn't this a king's law, no respect? If this wind goes on like this for a long time, then Datang will be no dignity and humility, and the country will not be a country! The official said loudly.
"What Imperial Envoy Zheng said is that the Tang Dynasty established the country with etiquette and law, the young and the old are orderly, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority, how can a dignified prince go to guard the spirit of an old woman?"
"Datang's etiquette is unbreakable!"
"Since ancient times, the elder and the young have their own laws, how can Wei Wangtai use the respect of the prince to wear linen and filial piety for a woman?"
“……”
Several officials stood up and said one after another.
Although this is talking about the eldest grandson's family and Li Tai, why not beat Li Shimin's company?
The young and the old are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, Li Shimin killed his eldest brother and ascended to the throne of the emperor.
There was a lot of anger in my heart, and I wanted to kill them all.
"That's not an ordinary woman, that's the queen's mother, King Wei's maternal grandmother, and at the same time King Wei's grandmother!" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "Wei Wangtai has half of the blood of the eldest grandson family, and he accepts the daughter of the eldest grandson family as a widow, this is a kiss and a kiss!" ”
"What's more, my Tang Dynasty has respected the old and loved the young since ancient times, the old man in the family died, as a descendant, what is wrong with wearing linen and filial piety? This is filial piety! ”
"Although I see that you and others can enter the court, but they are unfilial people, the crows will still caress back, and the lambs will still kneel to their mothers, and you are so big, but you don't know what filial piety is."
"Therefore, tomorrow we don't need to go to the court, first go home and think about what filial piety is, how to be filial piety, wait until you think about it, and then think about it!"
Li Shimin said very unhappily.
