Chapter 803: The Wake (I)
Hearing that Li Xiu finally changed his words to call Li Yuan "Father Emperor" at the last moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but show a relieved expression, but then he sighed and said: "Father is extremely lonely during this time, driving everyone around him out of the palace, and in the evening, the chamberlain sent medicine to his father, and there was no response after asking for instructions several times, and finally the chamberlain came in with the courage to come in, but found that ...... But I found that my father was ......"
When Li Shimin said the end, the tiger's eyes couldn't help but overflow with tears, when Li Yuan died, none of their brothers and sisters were there, and he didn't even know when he left, the only thing that made him feel at ease was that Li Yuan left with a peaceful expression, as if he left quietly in his sleep, but he didn't suffer too much sin.

Li Xiu also showed a silent expression when he heard this, but he was secretly relieved in his heart, looking at Li Shimin's performance, he should not have found that Li Yuan was fake death, but this is not strange, after all, the monk relied on this fake death medicine to deceive a lot of people, as long as he inhaled this medicine, the whole person breathed without body stiffness, and there was almost no difference from the dead.
Of course, this kind of fake death medicine also has disadvantages, for example, if Li Yuan is not given an antidote within two or three days, let him wake up from suspended animation, I am afraid that he will really die, after all, even if it is a fake death, I am afraid that it will not last long without eating or drinking, not to mention that Li Yuan's body is already sick, and the support time may be less, so Pei Lin must find a chance to wake Li Yuan up within two days, and at the same time replace Li Yuan with that stand-in.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, at this time, I only heard a commotion outside, which was mixed with a lot of crying, and then the inner servants came to report, and the ministers of the court also rushed after receiving the news, led by Pei Lian, and now they are all crying outside the door of the dormitory, asking to see Li Yuan again.
Li Yuan's funeral needs to be presided over, and Li Shimin had promised Pei Lin that he would hand over the funeral to him, so Li Shimin quickly summoned Pei Lin and several other important ministers into the hall, and let them look at Li Yuan's remains first, and then began to discuss Li Yuan's funeral.
According to the etiquette, the emperor died, need to stop in the palace for 100 days, and then mourn, during this period the whole country is strictly forbidden to marry, banquets and other festive activities, and the prince and princess also have to guard the emperor's spirit, of course, before that, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony must also be held, after all, the country can not be without a monarch for a day, but Li Shimin has already ascended the throne, Li Yuan has also become the emperor, but also saved a lot of trouble.
The funeral was finally handed over to Pei Lin to preside, he was also the most suitable candidate, whether it was the ministers of the court or the emperor's relatives, he had to give him some face, and the first thing he did was to wash Li Yuan's body, and then put on the dragon robe that had been prepared long ago, and the coffin was also transported in, Pei Lin and several respected old emperors worked together to personally place Li Yuan in the coffin, but the lid of the coffin was not covered, because before the burial, it was also necessary for the emperor's relatives and ministers to pay tribute to Li Yuan's remains.
After Li Yuan's body was settled, it was immediately transported to the Soul Hall in the Taiji Palace, which is next to the Taimiao Temple, and it is rare to use it for decades, because only when the emperor dies, the body will be placed here, and the prince and princess also have to keep the spirit in the palace, and even Li Shimin, who is the emperor, has to keep his soul here for three days, but Li Shimin, as the emperor, even if his father dies, he must also focus on state affairs, so after three days, he will also focus on government affairs.
Just experienced the pain of losing her father, Princess Pingyang also cried until she had no strength to stop, but the whole person also became haggard and abnormal, which made Li Xiu also very distressed, and finally they came to the Soul Stopping Hall with Princess Changguang and others to guard Li Yuan's spirit, but what Li Xiu didn't expect was that Li Shimin would also have to keep a vigil here for three days, in other words, Pei Lin wanted to revive Li Yuan under Li Shimin's nose, and put the fake Li Yuan's body in.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help frowning, if Li Shimin was also in the Soul Stopping Palace, the entire hall would definitely be heavily guarded, even if Pei Lin presided over the funeral and had the opportunity to touch Li Yuan's body alone, but it was not easy to bring the fake Li Yuan in, let alone take Li Yuan out of the palace again.
Originally, Li Xiu didn't need to worry about the above things, after all, according to the original agreement, Li Xiu only needed to be responsible for providing fake death medicine, and then just turn a blind eye to this matter, as for the specific operation, naturally Pei Lin was responsible, in fact, Pei Xiu did not tell Li Xiu his detailed plan, and he was probably afraid of revealing the news.
However, Li Xiu quickly thought clearly, instead of worrying about it now, it is better to believe in Pei Lian's ability, after all, Pei Xiu is familiar with the etiquette in the palace, and must have known that Li Shimin needs to guard the spirit, and since he dares to do this, he must be fully prepared, not to mention that Li Xiu can't help much now, at most he just helps Pei Lin cover up.
"Xiuning, you are pregnant, it's really not very convenient, why don't you go home, just me and Jin'er here!" Li Xiu persuaded Princess Pingyang at this time that the mourning hall had been built, Li Yuan's coffin was parked at the back, and the princess and prince were kneeling in front of them, although they had stopped crying at this time, but Princess Pingyang's face was still not very good, so Li Xiu wanted her to go home to rest, after all, the child in her belly was important.
"It's okay, my own body knows by myself, no matter what, I have to guard my father's spirit for a few days!" Princess Pingyang replied with a blank face at this time, although she was very sad in her heart, but Princess Pingyang also knew that her body did not allow her to really keep the hundred days, but even so, she wanted to keep it for a few more days in order to fulfill her filial piety.
Seeing Princess Pingyang so stubborn, Li Xiu couldn't help sighing, and at that moment he asked people to prepare a soft couch, so that Princess Pingyang could sit down and rest, anyway, it is impossible for the spirit to kneel all the time, in fact, except for a specific point in time, the person who guards the spirit can move freely, but now Li Shimin is also kneeling there, naturally no one dares to move.
Li Xiu died, and the Shangyuan Festival was naturally canceled, of course, this news was only limited to Chang'an, and it would take a while for the field to be notified, and Li Xiu and his family spent the night of the Shangyuan Festival in front of Li Yuan's spirit.
The next day passed quickly, Li Xiu thought that Pei Lin would do it on this day, after all, Li Yuan couldn't last long after taking the fake death pill, but he didn't expect that a whole day had passed, but he didn't see Pei Lian's figure at all, and now Li Xiu couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart, could it be that Pei Lin was not afraid that Li Yuan would really die in the coffin?
