After Li Xiu and his entourage came to Luoyang, because Li Zhi was in the team, they all lived in the palace of Luoyang City, of course, only Li Zhi was qualified to live in the harem, Li Xiu and they all lived in the first half of the palace, but during this time, the news from Chang'an came from time to time, and many of them were related to Li Chengqian, which made Li Xiu also nineteen troubled, so he was also ready to move to Beibi Mountain, and supervised until the Sui army soldiers were buried and came back.

But on this day, Li Xiu was about to leave to find the local officials in charge of assisting him, and asked them if the recruited personnel had arrived? But I didn't expect to come to the palace gate as soon as I came to find that the outside was full of people, and the square outside the entire palace gate was crowded with people, and there were at least thousands of people at first.

"How can there be so many people?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw the people blocking the outside of the palace gate, thousands of people didn't seem to be much, but in fact, it was quite shocking to gather together, blocking the entire palace gate at once, and even making Li Xiu think that there was a civil uprising?

"Qi Guogong, Xia Guan is also preparing to report this matter to Guo Gong, after all, Xia Guan does not dare to call the shots in this matter!" At this time, I saw an official running to Li Xiuyu very embarrassed to report, this official is the official sent to Li Xiu in Luoyang to assist him in the burial of the former Sui soldiers, the other party's surname is Yang Minghuai, is Luoyang's Sihu to join the army, although the position is not high, but he is very capable, but he seems to have a little relationship with the former Sui royal family, so he is very unhappy in his career.

"Yang Sihu, I also want to find you, what's going on with these people?" Li Xiu couldn't help frowning at this time and said, thousands of people gathered outside the Luoyang Palace at once, although the palace here in Luoyang is not as good as the Taiji Palace, but it is also the residence of the royal family, and it is really not good to have so many people gathered outside the palace now.

"Guogong is angry, these people are not here to make trouble, but want to take the initiative to ask for the burial of the bones of the soldiers of the former Sui!" I saw that Yang Huai was sweating profusely at this time, he had served in Luoyang for many years, and he was also a little connected, so he learned the news a little earlier than Li Xiu, but when he arrived, these people had already gathered in front of the palace gate.

And I don't know where these people got their news? actually knew that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, lived in the palace, so they were also clamoring to see Li Zhi in front of the palace gate, which frightened Yang Huai a lot, and hurriedly ran to dissuade him, but just after persuading these people gathered in front of the door, Li Xiu came out.

"Take the initiative to ask for the burial of the bones of the former Sui soldiers?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Yang Huaidao in confusion.

"Guogong didn't know, when Yang Guangsan conquered Goguryeo, Guangzheng Zhuangding, especially in Guanzhong and Henan, almost every household had people on the battlefield, most of them died in Liaodong, and even the bones could not be recovered, fortunately, this time His Majesty asked Guogong to collect the bones of these people, and also to be buried in Luoyang, as a result, I don't know how the news spread, these people in front of the palace gate are the families of the Sui soldiers who died in Liaodong, and they are very excited to hear the news, That's when they came together to bury the bones of their families. Yang Huai explained to Li Xiu at the moment.

Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Yang Huai's words, he didn't expect that these people were all the families of the soldiers of the Sui Army, which made him turn his head and look at these people in the square carefully, only to see that among these people were white-haired old men, and there were also babbling children, they may be the parents, brothers, and even children and grandchildren of those who died in Liaodong.

But what makes these people even more sad is that their sons, brothers, fathers and others died in Liaodong, not only can not be transported back to their hometown to be buried in the earth, but also piled up on the bank of the Liaoshui River to blow the wind and dry in the future, which may also become a heart disease in the hearts of these people, and now finally know that their family is coming back for burial, although it is impossible to identify which is their son, brother or father, but this is no longer important, as long as they can do their part for them, it is also a wish.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu also understood the mood of these people better, and when he stepped forward, he saw that the people standing in front were some gray-haired old men, looking at the age of these people, either their sons or their brothers died in Liaodong.

Li Xiu's arrival also attracted the attention of these people, especially seeing that Yang Huai, who had persuaded them just now, was also standing behind Li Xiu, looking very respectful, and he could know without asking that the middle-aged man in front of him must be a great official, so the crowd, which was also a little noisy, slowly quieted down.

"This nobleman, Xiao Lao'er's two brothers died in Liaodong, and they didn't even have a descendant left, Xiao Lao'er's greatest wish is to be able to collect the bones for them, and ask the nobleman to fulfill it!" At this moment, I saw an old man led by him take two steps forward and saluted Li Xiu, looking at his dress, he should be a first-class person of the squire, although this kind of person has no official position, but his prestige in the countryside is extremely high, maybe these people are gathered by him.

"You want to collect the bones for your family, and I understand it very well, but the cemetery of the soldiers of the Sui army is on the side of Beibi Mountain, not only is the road far away, but it is not easy to build a cemetery, and you people are old, I'm afraid you can't help much." Li Xiu opened his mouth to persuade at this time, understanding is understanding, but looking at the trembling appearance of these people one by one, let alone working, it would be good if they could not be taken care of.

"The nobles misunderstood, the old decay naturally can't help much, but we still have sons and grandsons, they are all in the prime of life, as long as they can help a little, the old decay and others will be very content!" When the old man said this, he also pointed behind him, and as a result, seven or eight men in the prime of life stood up at once, and if you count his daughters, it is estimated that his children will be at least a dozen.

"Guogong, the fathers and villagers of Luoyang also have relatives in their hearts, so they want to contribute to the imperial court, and I hope that Guogong can understand their feelings!" Yang Huai also opened his mouth to help these pleas at this time, the reason why he was able to persuade these people just now was to promise that they would help them intercede, and now he can be regarded as fulfilling his promise.

These Luoyang fathers and villagers were all shocked when they heard that the middle-aged man in front of them was actually a national prince, and everyone was quieter, and even some noisy children were persuaded by their parents, and their lives accidentally provoked this dignitary.

Li Xiu also showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, and immediately looked around these people again, but when he saw a person next to the crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then strode over.
