Chapter 227: The Last Side That Was Too Late
When entering the palace, there were only three people left in the carriage, Xuan Shijing and Li Yuanjing in the carriage, and Shi Hu driving the carriage. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Xuan Shijing untied the rope tied to Li Yuanjing's body in the carriage, and said to Li Yuanjing with a stern expression: "You must have heard what the Imperial Forest Army said just now, and now the atmosphere in the entire palace and the news from the Da'an Palace indicate that the day of the Emperor Taishang, I'm afraid it is today, Shi Hu is driving the carriage towards the Da'an Palace, if you have time, maybe you can see the last face of the Emperor." “
"Don't worry, since I cooperated with you so much on the road, I will never have any ghost ideas in the palace." Li Yuanjing smiled bitterly.
When he arrived at the gate of Da'an Palace, the carriage was stopped by the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, and Xuan Shijing took Li Yuanjing out of the carriage and entered Da'an Palace directly.
As soon as you enter the Da'an Palace, you will see a large number of civil and military ministers kneeling outside the Hanyuan Palace, and the white silk has been hung outside the Hanyuan Palace.......
His Majesty Li Er's personal eunuch Deyi was going in and out of Hanyuan Palace, and began to be busy with Li Yuan's posthumous affairs.
The funeral of the Emperor Taishang is a national funeral, and everything must be done in accordance with the corresponding rules, so it is naturally sloppy, therefore, the people of Da'an Palace can not intervene, and can only be temporarily presided over by Deyi here, His Majesty Li Er is still in Li Yuan's bedroom, and a large group of people knelt in the hall, and the eldest grandson Empress also knelt silently on the ground, kneeling beside Li Yuan's bed.
Li Yuanjing saw a group of people kneeling outside Da'an Palace, and the string that was tense in his head along the way suddenly broke, and he hurriedly crossed the minister kneeling on the ground and ran towards Li Yuan's dormitory.
"Father...... Father... The child is back, you wait for the child. While running, Li Yuanjing finally muttered.
It seems that it is always at a certain moment when you lose that the cherishment in your heart will be stimulated, for example, Li Yuanjing, when he was a year ago, he was just thinking about how to strengthen himself and how to win the throne of the Ninety-Five, so he ignored that his father and emperor only looked at himself lovingly behind his back......
From the gate of Da'an Palace to Li Yuan's dormitory in Hanyuan Palace, the short distance has become an insurmountable gap between Li Yuanjing and Li Yuan, a gap between life and death......
"Father! ~~~~~" this shout, sad, desolate, hesitant and helpless.
After entering the Hanyuan Palace, Li Yuanjing walked towards Li Yuan's dormitory, and met His Majesty Li Er who came out of Li Yuan's dormitory.
When His Majesty Li Er saw Li Yuanjing with his cloak scattered, although he said that he was on fire in his heart, it was because of Li Yuan's death that he was desolate in his heart, and now he had no intention of bothering with Li Yuanjing, so he just sighed and looked at Li Yuanjing with a complicated face.
"Sixth, you're back, it's late."
Hearing His Majesty Li Er's words, the tears in Li Yuanjing's eyes could no longer be stopped, and flowed out like beads with broken threads.
"Yuan Jing, go in, and see your father again." Empress Changsun stood beside His Majesty Li Er, and said to Li Yuanjing with a sad expression: "Go ahead." ”
Li Yuanjing crossed His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun and entered Li Yuan's bedroom.
Li Yuan'an lay quietly on the bed, his face was pale, silent, his body had been hollowed out by the medication for more than ten days, his face was emaciated, skinny, and his body was covered with a thick bright yellow quilt, several eunuchs were standing at the head of the bed, holding a longevity robe in their hands, which was to be changed for Li Yuan, these were all prepared in Da'an Palace for a long time, and now that Li Yuan is dead, just take out the things.
Li Yuanjing stumbled to Li Yuan's bed, knelt down with a "plop", looked at Li Yuan, who had passed away, and burst into tears.
His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun walked to the door of the main hall of Hanyuan Palace, stood at the door and looked out, the ministers in the court had almost arrived, and they were all kneeling outside at this time, and Xuan Shijing and Shi Hu, who had just entered the palace, also knelt in the lower seats among the ministers.
"Guanyin." His Majesty Li Er sighed: "The sixth child is back, but after all, I didn't see the last face of my father, and my father was funeral. ”
"Your Majesty." Empress Eldest Sun said softly: "Father and son nature, human nature, for so many years, although Your Majesty and your father are slightly estranged, but Your Majesty and your father have always been father and son, and Yuan Jing has always been brothers. ”
"Yes, now that the sixth is back, what do you think I should do with the sixth child?" His Majesty Li Er stood at the door, his eyes looking into the distance, his eyes filled with countless worries.
"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the most important thing now is to deal with the matter of the father's death, and let the rest go, let it go first, Baishan filial piety comes first, if Your Majesty wants to deal with Yuanjing, how can you wait until the mourning period is over, let Yuanjing send his father on the last journey, and do his filial piety." Empress Eldest Sun said.
"It makes sense, come on." His Majesty Li Er called.
"What does Your Majesty command?" The Yulin Army, who was guarding outside the gate of Hanyuan Palace, stepped forward and bowed his hand.
"Go to the Taishi Bureau and invite Li Chunfeng." His Majesty Li Er commanded.
"Yes." After the Yulin Army responded, he turned around and left the Hanyuan Palace, trotting all the way to the Taishi Bureau.
The emperor made a big trip, the whole country mourned for three days, Chang'an City was not allowed to sing and dance within three months, and the Qinglou Chu Pavilion had to be closed, and the number of rules and etiquette was countless.
Since the fourteenth afternoon from the Da'an Palace back, Xuan Shijing has never been out of the door of the Hou Mansion again, the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month are probably not as lively as in previous years, before according to custom, all families in Chang'an City will get together, drink and have fun in the back garden, enjoy the lanterns and guess riddles, Li Yuan goes, the nobles in Chang'an City are honestly staying in their own mansions and dare not make any moths, for fear that the imperial history will be sent to His Majesty Li Er.
In the back garden of the Hou Mansion, Xuan Shijing has been accompanying the Wang family since returning to the Hou Mansion, and the house is stuffy in the winter, and he can't stay for too long, and the wives of each family can't get together, and the mahjong can't be played, so the Wang family is naturally idle again.
"Mother, I originally thought that I would take you to the street tomorrow to see the excitement, but now at this time, it is estimated that few people in Chang'an City go out, and Your Majesty and the courtiers are still wearing filial piety for the emperor, so this year's lantern festival, I'm afraid it's gone." Xuan Shijing walked beside Wang and said.
"Yes, at this juncture, who would dare to mention the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, this year's Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an City, that's it." Wang said with a sigh. (To be continued.) )
