Li Xiu was changing the clothes of the deceased Li Shimin, but he didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to ask about the conversation between himself and Li Shimin before his death, which made him stunned for a moment, in front of Li Shimin's body, he couldn't lie, so he didn't know how to answer for a while?

"What? Could it be that His Majesty had any instructions on his deathbed? The eldest grandson Wuji asked curiously again at this time, Li Shimin left Li Xiu alone instead of him before he died, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Xiu also knew the eldest grandson Wuji very well, and when he saw him, he knew what he was thinking, which made him helplessly replied: "Your Majesty didn't have any instructions, just asked about some things related to me, and there were some things I planned to take to the coffin and not say, but in the face of His Majesty's questioning, I had to confess." ”

"Oh? What about you, Brother Li? Eldest Sun Wuji was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Xiu's answer, and then said with a clear expression, "I understand, like Your Majesty, I have too many doubts about you, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to be unable to let go before he died." ”

Li Xiu was not surprised by the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, Li Shimin could be suspicious of his own ability, and the extremely shrewd eldest grandson Wuji would naturally have the same suspicions, but as long as the other party didn't ask, he was also willing to pretend to be confused.

It's just that what Li Xiu didn't expect was that he saw that the eldest grandson Wuji hesitated at this time and suddenly said: "Brother Li, I'm not a very curious person, but I'm really curious about you, speaking of which, I'm a few years older than you, and it's likely that I will walk in front of you like Your Majesty, if it really comes to that day, I wonder if Brother Li can you solve my doubts?" ”

"Brother Wuji, you ......" Li Xiu couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this, he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji would be so interested in him, and he would make such a request.

"Brother Li, like Your Majesty, I regard you as one of my best friends, you won't favor one over the other, right?" Seeing Li Xiu's appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately asked again.

"Well, if that day really happens, I will definitely confess my biggest secret to you as I did to Your Majesty!" When it came to this, Li Xiu had no way to retreat, and finally had to agree with a wry smile, of course, this is just a verbal agreement, maybe the eldest grandson Wuji will live longer than Li Xiu, or when the eldest grandson Wuji dies, Li Xiu will not be able to arrive, and he will naturally not be able to complete this agreement at that time.

Seeing Li Xiu agree, the eldest grandson Wuji nodded with satisfaction at the moment, and then the two of them concentrated on sorting out the clothes for Li Shimin, but after putting on the clothes for Li Shimin, they couldn't enter the coffin at this time, because according to the etiquette system, they needed to wait until three days before entering the coffin, and then they also needed Li Zhi's own son to hold Li Shimin into the coffin, and they had to wait for three days.

After tidying up the clothes for Li Shimin, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji also began to discuss Li Shimin's funeral, the eldest grandson Wuji is very familiar with etiquette, so he will discuss with the Ministry of Rites about the funeral process and other matters, and Li Xiu is responsible for going to Zhaoling, although this Zhaoling has been built, but before burying Li Shimin, there are also many preparations to be made.

However, before the formal preparation of the funeral, there is another very important thing, that is, to participate in Li Zhi's enthronement ceremony, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji after a busy night, the next day there is no time to rest at all, so they will immediately rush to Chang'an Taiji Palace to participate in Li Zhi's enthronement ceremony, and Li Xiu only took a nap on the carriage for a while, and when he opened his eyes, the carriage had already arrived at the Taiji Palace.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace, the news of Li Shimin's death yesterday had already been passed to the people of the city, and now the entire Chang'an City has been martial law, and the civil and military officials have all rushed to the Taiji Palace, in addition to the envoys of various countries stationed in Chang'an came to watch the ceremony, witnessing the change of the throne of the most powerful empire of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiu stood under the stage and watched Li Zhi complete the enthronement ceremony step by step according to etiquette, and finally accepted the worship of civil and military officials and the congratulations of envoys from various countries, and this also represented the official handover of the Tang Emperor.

After the enthronement ceremony was completed, Li Zhi immediately summoned Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji in the Liangyi Palace, first inquired about the preparations for the funeral, and then hesitated for a moment before saying: "My father has died, I want to hold a grand funeral for my father, according to the etiquette system, the prince who is abroad will also return to Beijing for the funeral, and the other brothers don't have to worry about me, but I want to recall the eldest brother as well, I don't know what Mr. and Uncle you think?" ”

Originally, in the original history, Li Chengqian died of depression soon after the failure of the rebellion, but now history has changed, Li Chengqian is not only alive, but it is said that he is living well in Quzhou, but Quzhou is too far away from Chang'an, I am afraid that he still does not know the news of Li Shimin's death.

Hearing that Li Zhi actually wanted to recall Li Chengqian, Li Xiu and Eldest Sun Wuji couldn't help but glance at each other at this time, and then saw Eldest Sun Wuji take the lead and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, please think twice!" ”

Li Chengqian was demoted to a concubine after the failure of the rebellion, but even so, he is still the former prince, and his identity is very sensitive, even if Li Zhi has ascended the throne now, Li Chengqian should not appear in Chang'an, so the eldest grandson Wuji will persuade Li Zhi to be cautious.

"I've thought about it clearly, and my father told me before he passed away, let me treat the eldest brother and the fourth brother well, the fourth brother is not a big mistake, and now the prince has been restored, but the eldest brother is still a concubine, and he can't return to Beijing without a holy decree, but the eldest brother is the eldest son of his father after all, if he can attend his father's funeral, I believe that my father's spirit in heaven will definitely be very happy." Li Zhi spoke again at this time.

Hearing that Li Shimin couldn't let go of Li Chengqian before he died, this made Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji sigh, and then Li Xiu stepped forward and said: "Since this is the case, then it is okay for Your Majesty to recall Chengqian back to Chang'an, after all, father and son are family, and the relationship between flesh and blood cannot be given up no matter what!" ”

Li Xiu agreed, and the eldest grandson Wuji no longer objected at this time, so Li Zhi immediately asked people to draw up a decree and quickly summoned Li Chengqian back to Chang'an for the funeral, and then the three of them discussed the funeral, and Li Zhi considered that Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji had not rested for two days, so he told them to go back and have a good rest, so as not to be tired and depleted.

So Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji said goodbye to Li Zhi and left, but when the two left the Liangyi Palace, they suddenly stopped in unison, and then turned their heads to look at the majestic Liangyi Hall behind them, Li Shimin used to convene them here to discuss matters, and today there is still no change in this palace, but the owner of the palace has been replaced by Li Zhi, which makes the two of them feel a little emotional.

"Let's go, go back and rest for a while, and then Your Majesty's bones will also be transported from Cuiwei Palace to the Stopping Spirit Palace!" Li Xiu stood outside the Liangyi Hall for a long time, and finally said to the eldest grandson Wuji next to him.

"yes, it's time to go back and rest, or we two bones might be exhausted." The eldest grandson Wuji also spoke at this time, and then the two turned around and slowly left here, and the Liangyi Hall behind them was also bathed in the golden sunset at this time, looking even taller and more brilliant.

After leaving the palace gate, Li Xiu said goodbye to the eldest grandson Wuji and got into the carriage, although he was tired and tired at this time, but he couldn't sleep, Li Shimin's death marked the end of an era, but also the beginning of another era, and then it depends on whether Li Zhi can make this new era more great and brilliant?

The carriage returned home, but it had just stopped, and Li Xiu hadn't gotten off yet, but he didn't expect the family to report a message to him, that is, Princess Pingyang went to Cuiwei Palace alone after learning the news of Li Shimin's death.

Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then he couldn't help sighing, and immediately ordered the coachman to turn around and go to Cuiwei Palace again!
