Li Shimin's words entrusted to Li Chengqian are undoubtedly a very clear signal. The past www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion will no longer be investigated, as long as he comes back, everything will be easy to say. 、

Anyway, Luo Yan still has a marriage with Princess Changle hanging on his body. Seeing that in more than a year, the Chengguo Mansion will be expanded. So when it was decided that Luo Yan would go to Yongzhou, Li Shimin also wanted to give him some color to see, and by the way, he wanted to stop.

However, Li Shimin is now repentant, so what about his attitude?

Luo Yan seemed to be confused.

The three days of condolences passed tepidly, and next, Lu Dunxin was going to take a group of old servants to transport Lu Deming's coffin to Suzhou. The weather was hot, and in order to prevent the corpse from decomposing, Luo Yan had to sell some of his family property and buy ice cubes in several personal homes.

Fortunately, from Chang'an to Suzhou, taking the waterway is a smooth stream, day and night, which can save a lot of time. Otherwise, it is estimated that the purchased ice cubes will not be used halfway.

At dawn the next day, it was estimated that the city gate had just opened, and the middle gate of the Lu Mansion was wide open. Lu Dunxin and Luo Yan were the leaders, with a few hardcover men, and after the Taoist priests who were invited to pray, they lifted the coffin and walked out of the city.

The morning breeze blew the soul-attracting flags, blowing the paper money scattered by the servants into the distance. It also sent the wails of the group farther away.

The starting point of the waterway is the Guangtong Canal in the east of Chang'an City, through which it flows into the Yellow River, and then turns into the Tongji Canal, along the Huaishui, through the Hangou to Suzhou. When he got here, Luo Yan really had to thank Yang Guang. Although he is called a single husband, if it weren't for these things left by Yang Guang, Lu Deming's body wouldn't know where to be sent.

Paper money was sprinkled all the way, and suona blew all the way. By the time we arrived at the ferry, it was already midday.

The coffin cannot fall to the ground until the funeral is returned. Although they saw that Lu Deming's friends from the former days of life came to see them off, Luo Yan and Lu Dunxin could only nod apologetically to them, and then worked together to carry the coffin to the big ship that had been prepared a long time ago.

After everything was cleaned up, he stepped off the boat and thanked Kong Yingda, Yao Silian and others who had been standing there for a long time.

Kong Yingda waved his hand: "Okay, there is no need to be so polite." The weather is hot, and when you finish the sacrifice, you will hurry as soon as possible. It's a delay, and I can't wait for it. ”

When the coffin returns home, it will pass through countless mountains and rivers along the way. In order to make the journey safe and smooth, before leaving, sacrifices must be made to heaven and earth, and the gods will be announced. So that there is a blessing from the gods along the way and a safe arrival.

Lu Dunxin nodded towards Luo Yan and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

But it was because Lu Dunxin had to recite the sacrificial text when he returned home. He will not be able to touch this matter of sacrificing heaven and earth.

Luo Yan didn't say much, walked to the incense table set up in front of the ferry, and first cleaned his hands in the water brought by the servant. After wiping it, he picked up a stick of incense and bowed down three times. After the incense was inserted into the furnace, Luo Yan took out a statement from his sleeve.

"The yellow sky is above, the earth is below, the mundane prays, and the rest of the world prays.

My teacher Lu Gong is a person who is a native of Wu County, Wuzhong. Young and intelligent, respectful and studious. Before the weak crown, the world is famous. Shi Eun three dynasties, half a hundred. The official is not a doctor, and he can't wear Zhu Zi. Teaching is a business, conscientious; Governing the scriptures is the foundation, diligent and diligent. There is no beautiful thing about the first holy apricot altar, and the deeds of the former sage Lumen are rarely heard.

The peach and plum are abundant, and it is not said that the soil is fertile; The branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the roots are deep. The two dynasties are gone, and the name is not heard in the book; A generation of Confucianism, not listed in the temple. However, those whose writings are not heard of by others do not want to be famous, but are good at practice. The family has no money left, and the house has thousands of poetry books. Hao is poor and poor, teaching and educating people. A righteous body, two sleeves of fresh breeze. My teacher also.

Loyal to the king, he died in a foreign land. Today's filial son Lu is a believer and is loyal. Inherit the righteousness of the ancestors and attack the legacy of Confucianism. He has been an official for several years, fair and honest. These two, although the virtue is not famous, but there is no loss in the small sections, and the heart is selfless. Now that I have passed the treasure land and entered your hometown, I can only beg the gods of all directions and protect mehere.

Feasting. ”

Luo Yan finished reading the ritual letter to the ghosts, lit it on the candle, and then spread his hand and let it burn in the air, and was sent into the water by the breeze.

As soon as the ceremony ended, Lu Dunxin bowed to everyone: "Elders, the trip is in a hurry, and I can't talk to you." After three years, he came back to ask the elders for his guilt. Then he looked at Luo Yan and said, "Senior brother, cherish." ”

Then he turned and stepped into the big boat, and bowed to the people on the shore.

Seeing Lu Dunxin like this, the boatman also officially untied the cable, shouted a trumpet, and a group of sailors began to paddle and slowly rowed the big ship away from the shore.

Quietly watching the boat get farther and farther away from him, and finally dissipated in the tortuous river and disappeared completely, then he came to his senses and bowed to these people around him.

"Thank you for coming today. Affectionate and friendly, Luo Yanming feels five inside. ”

Kong Yingda smiled: "Such politeness, where is the young and frivolous Luo Yan at the beginning." Okay, now that Lu Fuzi has been sent back to Wuzhong, what about you, what are your plans? ”

It's okay that Kong Yingda didn't ask, this question really stumped Luo Yan.

What do you want to do?

Li Shimin has already stretched out his hand to himself, it is Li Chengqian, and his attitude yesterday is also quite amazing. If you can admit your mistake at this time, not to mention the reinstatement of the official, at least you don't have to pay attention to the matter of being demoted to Yongzhou.

At most, he stayed at home for a few months, and he was able to return to the court alive.

But was that really what he wanted?

Just when he was reading that statement, Lu Deming's life came to his mind and could no longer linger. If Lu Deming is an official, how can he mix with his skills.

But decades of time have been spent on the discipline, doesn't Lu Deming know that the official is big, powerful, and respectful, and the false fame that the Confucian children want to pursue is also at his fingertips. No, he knows for sure. The reason why I know these things or not choose them comes more from the responsibility for the inheritance of Confucianism.

In the past, all the scenes taught by Lu Deming appeared in front of him.

Luo Yan stood and waited for a long time, and Kong Yingda and the others also stood and waited for a long time.

When Luo Yan came back to his senses, he said to Kong Yingda and them very firmly: "In the past, Luo Yan was wrong, thinking that going out and entering the prime minister was the highest goal of literati. But now I know that, in fact, there are other paths to choose. ”

The words were ambiguous, but Kong Yingda and the others laughed when they heard it: "I'm afraid, Your Majesty won't let you get your wish." With that, he turned and left.

The next day, when Empress Changsun had just taken a nap and took two sips of rock sugar white fungus soup, she saw Li Shimin walking in angrily.

"This Luo Yan, it's really hard to vent the anger in my heart if I don't punish him." As soon as he came in, he shouted like this, which made Empress Changsun laugh for a while. Putting the gilded bowl on the jade plate held by the palace maid, Empress Changsun got up and bowed, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Your Majesty so angry for a long time, I don't know how Luo Yan provoked Your Majesty today." ”

Comforted by Empress Changsun, Li Shimin was still angry.

But seeing that Empress Changsun was still smiling, Li Shimin couldn't spread fire even if he had. He could only helplessly hand the letter in his hand to the eldest grandson Wujian and said, "Look at it, look at it, you still have to coerce me." He's such a guts. ”

When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin like this, she was also quite curious about this performance. Although she has never interfered in foreign affairs, now the matter related to Luo Yan can only be made once.

Turning over the music, Empress Eldest Sun looked at it and actually laughed out loud.

"This Luo Yan is really, what a child's temper. If His Majesty really rebukes him, it will be exactly as he wants. ”

Handing the song to the attendant who followed Li Shimin, Empress Changsun continued: "Luo Yan asked to go to Wuzhong to keep filial piety for Dr. Lu for three years, if His Majesty is angry and punishes him, I am afraid that in the future, Shilin will praise his filial piety even more, but he will accuse His Majesty of being unreasonable." ”

"Hmph, that's what I'm angry about. He wanted to make a name for himself, but where did he put the majesty of the court? Some time ago, I had already been very lenient and asked him to go to Yongzhou after dealing with Dr. Lu's funeral. It's good that he wants to resign completely. Hmph, such a thing that has repeatedly disobeyed me. ”

Li Shimin was really angry with Luo Yan.

This time it's still a letter to the public. But the reason for this sloppy performance is even more helpless, he wants to keep filial piety for Lu Deming.

The mourning was a three-year affair, not three months, if Luo Yan really did it. Not only Li Shimin's punishment is ineffective, but Princess Changle's wedding will be postponed indefinitely. Do you really want to repent of your marriage, and then find another husband for Changle?

This is simply a problem for Li Shimin.

The two things add up, if Li Shimin is not angry, he will not be the material to be the emperor.

Empress Changsun naturally knew what Li Shimin meant. smiled and asked Li Shimin: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, since Luo Yan is like this, what does Your Majesty want to do?" ”

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to take Luo Yan's house, hit dozens of boards under the Danqi, and then let him live a little bit." Li Shimin said angrily.

Li Shimin's words amused even himself. Of course, this method is just his own words, if it is really implemented, I am afraid that it is really impossible.

Fortunately, Empress Changsun is not like him, and she is not angry, so her thinking is also extraordinarily sober. Listening to Li Shimin's angry words, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty only cares about being angry, have you forgotten that although it is good for Luo Yan to ask for filial piety, he is not a blood relative, and even if he is filial piety, it will not take three years." In addition, His Majesty can still win affection, so what about giving him a year and a half to keep filial piety. Originally, His Majesty's purpose in letting him go to Yongzhou was to let him live in peace. In this case, what is the difference between Yongzhou and Wuzhong? ”

Li Shimin suddenly realized. A little anger in his heart suddenly dissipated under the explanation of Empress Changsun, and his mood was happy, and Li Shimin began to poison Empress Changsun. (To be continued.) )
