In early March, Luo Yan went to a farm in Wanshou County, cut the exchanged potatoes into pieces, and prepared to cultivate the sprouts. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info this time naturally let a few henchmen selected by Li Shimin follow to observe, so Luo Yan simply explained the future things clearly. In the past ten days of Pei Ya, it has been up to these people to watch carefully.

A few days after Luo Yan returned to Qingpingguan, Cui Ying hurried over. This time, Cui Ying invited Luo Yan to attend Princess Pingyang's funeral together.

Although Luo Yan also knew that Li Xiuning would pass away this month, he still had some regrets in his heart when he heard Cui Ying say the news in person.

Princess Binh Duong died of illness. What kind of disease is specific, Luo Yan is not clear. And even if Luo Yan knew what the disease was, he couldn't do anything about it. There are no medicines in the system that can be exchanged, and Luo Yan himself is not a smart doctor.

Li Xiuning is now twenty-seven or eighteen years old. And then just walked away. She was just in her early twenties, and she dared to risk her life to stay in Chang'an alone to organize the rebel army against Sui. He led the army to fight many times, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and he successively captured Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping.

In just a few months, Li Xiuning was able to gather 70,000 troops under his hands, and even veterans like Qu Tutong had suffered defeats under Li Xiuning's hands. There are tens of thousands of troops under his hands, and he is willing to be called the "women's army" by others.

Li Yuan's daughter is not small, but Li Xiuning is unique. Whether it is what she paid for Li Yuan or the treatment that Li Yuan gave her, it is not comparable to other daughters.

is such a strange woman, but finally died of illness in a good year.

Luo Yan regretted that he did not meet this princess of Pingyang with his own eyes. He had seen a heroic female soldier in his previous life, but such a talented and courageous woman who had been on the battlefield was the only one in feudal society, how could Luo Yan not regret it. Compared with the female soldiers of later generations, she is too special.

After being silent for a long time, Luo Yan simply packed up his things, said hello to the Lord of Xuzhiguan, and got into Cui Ying's carriage and returned to Chang'an.

Luo Yan did not go directly to Lu Deming's house as usual. After entering the Mingde Gate and pushing Cui Ying's retention, Luo Yan got out of the carriage and walked towards the Qin Palace.

Whether it was before or now, Luo Yan is not eligible to attend Li Xiuning's funeral. But he didn't want to be like an ordinary person, watching the whole funeral process. He had his thoughts and wanted to see Li Xiuning off in person.

At this time, the court meeting has already determined what to do with Li Xiuning's funeral. Li Yuan directly buried Li Xiuning with a military salute, which also caused an uproar in the court. For some old-fashioned officials of the Ministry of Rites, women can't be preached when they are buried, not to mention that this is still a royal person.

Li Yuan was directly angry: "Advocating is military music, in the past, Princess Pingyang always came to the battlefield in person, taking the lead, beating drums and singing gold, and serving military affairs, how could there have been such a woman from ancient times to the present?" What's not to do with a military salute to bury a princess? Li Yuan's words spread throughout Chang'an that day.

Many of Li Xiuning's subordinates back then were moved to cry when they heard Li Yuan say this. The people of Chang'an were even more discussed, applauding Li Yuan's approach openly and secretly. Li Xiuning has been living in seclusion since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially in the past two years, he has been staying in the princess's mansion despite his poor physical condition, so people's impression is still on the heroic, wise and resolute Li Niangzi.

When Luo Yan heard Li Yuan say this, he also sighed with emotion. It is true that Li Yuan is not a qualified emperor, and he was forced down from the throne by his own son. But as a father, he is definitely qualified. I can't bear to kill my two sons, but I chose the wrong way to deal with it, probably, this is also a kind of sadness to become an emperor.

However, when dealing with Li Xiuning's funeral, Li Yuan did a good job.

Walking to the door of the Qin Palace, Luo Yan found that it had been wrapped in a piece of vegetarian food.

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning have a very good relationship. At that time, Li Xiuning and his wife were under Li Shimin's account, so the sister and brother had more contact. Although Li Shimin has been fighting in the south and north in recent years, while Li Xiuning has lived in Chang'an for a long time, family affection will not be lost because of these.

Goodbye Li Shimin, in addition to the exhaustion on his face, Luo Yan also saw the sadness on his face that could not be dissolved. The gorgeous clothes he usually wore were also changed to plain clothes at this time, and his eyes were red, although Luo Yan couldn't see that there were tears, he must have cried.

"Your Highness's condolences." Luo Yan didn't have any more words of comfort to say, or rather, he didn't know how to comfort him at all. The relationship between Li Shimin and Li Xiuning is not understandable to people like Luo Yan who have never even seen Li Xiuning's face, how can they talk about comfort?

Waving his hand, after Li Shimin signaled that he had no problem, he asked Luo Yan: "Is there something wrong with coming here?" How have you been in the mountains lately? Although he still has great grief in his heart, Li Shimin did not ignore Luo Yan because of this.

"Everything is fine, I'm here to attend Princess Pingyang's funeral." Luo Yan replied very calmly.

"Oh? On the day of the funeral, my father didn't set up any guards, just go and go there, no need to ask me. Although Li Shimin was a little puzzled in his heart, he still took the trouble to tell Luo Yan. After all, there is no need to tell him about such a simple thing, as long as it is the people of Chang'an, they can basically go.

"I'm not talking about the kind of onlookers, I want to be the tiger in the honor guard." Luo Yan made it clear this time.

Li Shimin turned to stare at Luo Yan, and Luo Yan also stared back at Li Shimin unceremoniously.

"Can you tell me why?" Li Shimin didn't understand Luo Yan's approach.

"The sassy and heroic eight-foot gun, the dawn of the first light on the exercise ground. The sons and daughters of China have many strange ambitions, and they do not love red clothes and love arms. Luo Yan didn't feel ashamed at all, and directly copied the poems of the old man Mao. In his mind, Li Xiuning also deserves such praise.

Li Shimin was moved by a poem like Luo Yan. Without waiting for him to speak, Luo Yan continued: "I wait for men, but I may not be able to do such a thing. She is a weak woman, but she has done something that thousands of men can't do. Such a strange woman, I only regret that I did not see her before her death. I will make up for this regret with my sincerest respect. ”

After speaking, Luo Yan looked at Li Shimin and waited quietly for Li Shimin to make a statement.

A difficult choice.

Li Xiuning's funeral, Li Yuan watched it very closely. Basically, everything needs to be reported to Li Yuan by the Ministry of Rites. This is Li Yuan's last bit of love for his daughter.

Therefore, in Luo Yan's matter, Li Shimin still has to consult Li Yuan before he can make a decision.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan actually agreed. There was no need to discuss this matter with those people in the court, Li Yuan simply agreed to Li Shimin's request, and even temporarily added Luo Yan the identity of a centurion of the Royal Forest Army. In this way, the mouths of those ministers were also blocked.

On the day of the funeral, the people of Chang'an City spontaneously followed the procession to send the spirit. After Luo Yan's body was systematically strengthened several times, there was basically no pressure on the Mingguang armor he was wearing and the blade he was holding. Following the propagandists in front of them, they walked silently.

In public, many people are Li Xiuning's old department. Because of the requirements of etiquette, these people were asked not to shed tears, let alone cry. For them, grief cannot be vented unbridledly, and it can only be replaced by pain.

Luo Yan watched with his own eyes, and a man beside him clenched his teeth, his eyes widened, and the green tendons on his face and neck were exposed. But there were no tears, no sounds, just mechanically following the procession. There are many others like this.

Luo Yan couldn't do it like them, but he also had a grim look.

At this funeral, Luo Yan also saw the legendary domestic slave general, Ma Sanbao.

The relationship between this and Li Xiuning is completely born and fought together in the war. Ma Sanbao is much older, about 30 years old. Because it is a military salute, this one is also dressed in a military uniform, and then he is dressed in plain clothes. The sadness on his face was no less than that of Li Shimin.

Luo Yan remembered what later generations said about this crush Li Xiuning. But it's quite understandable.

Although Li Xiuning and Chai Shao got married very early, after Li Yuan raised the army, it was Ma Sanbao who helped Li Xiuning the most. The troops that Li Xiuning had just formed with Hu Shang He Panren as his family were brought by Ma Sanbao by no means he knew. In the future, to protect Li Xiuning on the battlefield, these two people stayed together for a longer time.

Therefore, some people in later generations said that this was depressed because of Li Xiuning's death and finally died early, which is not unfounded.

The funeral ended in a mourning, but Luo Yan, as a guard of honor, still had to endure the grief and do everything well. Li Yuan is gone, Li Shimin is gone, the civil and military ministers are gone, and the onlookers are also gone. At this time, the funeral is over.

However, by the time most of the onlookers were over, there was a small group of people whose grief had just begun. These tiger benders, at this time, finally don't have to endure it, and I don't know who it is, after leaving Li Xiuning's tomb, I finally couldn't help crying "wow".

A few men didn't care about the Mingguang armor they were wearing, and sat directly on the ground and began to cry. Obviously, the corners of these people's mouths are more or less bloodshot. This is a gritted tooth along the way. At this moment, I finally didn't have to endure it anymore, my teeth loosened, and the blood in my mouth naturally flowed out.

Some people who are not from the "Women's Army" did not leave alone, at this time, they may not have much sadness, but they cannot leave their comrades behind. Just accompanied these crying child-like men, standing quietly under the sunset.
