Chapter 524: Concubine Yang's Wish
Concubine Yang's Chenghui Palace.
Concubine Yang was sick, and Li Su went to visit her. I saw her lying on the bed with a towel on her head, and her face was very bad.
Li Su asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said that Concubine Yang was not sick, but she was in a bad mood, so that it affected her normal sleeping and rest.
Li Su asked: "Mother, what is on your mind, tell your son, and your son will definitely try to solve it for you." ”
Concubine Yang snorted, but she refused to say.
Li Su was helpless, comforted her a few words, and then told the imperial doctors to serve her well. Then he went out.
Just on the way to the Taiji Palace, Li Ke was seen waiting there.
"Minister Li Ke see the emperor." Li Ke said.
Li Su waved his hand and said, "Big brother doesn't have to be polite. You're waiting for me here, what's the matter? ”
Li Ke said: "What did the mother concubine tell you?" ”
Li Su said: "She didn't say anything, I'm wondering, do you know?" ”
Li Ke said: "It's about my grandfather. Next month is the day of my grandfather's old man's sacrifice. The concubine wanted to do something for him. ”
Yang Guang died on April 11, 618.
When he was a child, Yang Guang was very fond of Concubine Yang, and the relationship between father and daughter was very deep. Concubine Yang has always wanted to hold a memorial event for him.
The Li Tang Dynasty was established after overthrowing Yang Guang's rule. When Li Shimin was alive, Concubine Yang couldn't mention this matter.
Li Su has not been the emperor for a long time, and Concubine Yang is afraid of causing him trouble, so she has been enduring it. However, this has always been a piece of her heart.
When Li Su heard that it was this matter, he also had a little headache. Datang is now developing steadily, and the matter of paying tribute to Yang Guang may cause unnecessary turmoil.
Li Su consulted the historical materials, and originally in history, Li Shimin posthumously crowned Yang Guangwei as the emperor, and he didn't know how they operated, and there was no documentary record to study and learn from.
However, since Li Shimin can do it, it shouldn't be a big problem to do it himself.
Li Su is determined to fulfill his mother's wishes. He said to Li Ke: "I understand, I want to do this matter." You go and comfort the concubine. Please rest assured. ”
Li Ke was very happy, he said: "Great, the mother concubine will definitely be happy." I'm going to tell my mother. ”
Li Ke came to Chenghui Hall and told Concubine Yang what Li Su said. Sure enough, Concubine Yang recovered immediately.
When Li Su returned to the Taiji Palace, he called Wei Zheng and discussed it with him first.
When Li Su raised this question, Wei Zheng shook his head vigorously, and he said: "Your Majesty, this is a sensitive issue, now that all aspects of the Tang Dynasty are developing steadily, is it necessary to have extraneous branches for such a thing?" ”
Wei Zheng suggested that an ancestral hall could be built in Concubine Yang's Chenghui Palace, where it would be enshrined and commemorated.
Subsequently, Li Su solicited the opinions of Huang Furui, Gao Jingming and others, and everyone did not agree with it.
Li Su wondered, I don't know how Li Shimin did it back then?
At this time, he remembered a person - Cen Wenwen.
In the original history, Cen Wenwen was deeply respected by Li Shimin, was his important adviser, and he was Concubine Yang's confidant.
Then, when Li Shimin chased Emperor Yang of Sui, Cen Wenwen would definitely play an important role. Maybe he has a way.
Cen Wenwen's health is not good, and he has been recuperating at home for more than a year.
After dinner that day, Li Su accompanied Concubine Niangniang to Cen Wenwen's house to visit him.
Seeing that the emperor, especially Concubine Yang, came to visit him in person, Cen Wenwen was very moved. He struggled to salute from his hospital bed.
When Concubine Yang saw that she had stopped him, she sat on the edge of his bed and talked to him.
When talking about this matter, Cen Wenwen asked the maid to take out a book of recitals and said: "The ministers have been thinking about this matter, this is the minister's recital, please take a look at it." ”
Li Su and Concubine Yang were very moved. In the Tang Dynasty, when it comes to loyalty to people, I am afraid that no one can be like Cen Wenwen to Concubine Yang.
Cen Wenwen suggested in the recital that from the perspective of Concubine Yang, Emperor Yang of Sui was Li Su's grandfather. Li Su can posthumously crown his ancestors and elders.
While posthumously sealing the elders of the Li family, he also brought the elders of his mother, mainly Emperor Yang of Sui. The Tang Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and the emperor also posthumously crowns the elders of his parents, and no one has anything to say.
After reading the recital, Li Su was overjoyed.
Originally, he had a headache, but Cen Wenwen easily resolved it.
Cen Wenwen also suggested that it was best for the minister to mention this matter first, and the emperor would just push the boat down the river when the time came.
As soon as Cen Wenwen's words fell, Li Su immediately remembered a suitable candidate - Kong Yingda.
Kong Yingda is a great Confucian in the world, and he has the most right to speak on matters of law and law.
Sunday. Kong Yingda on the house.
Kong Yingda was practicing calligraphy in the study, and the housekeeper ran in and said, "Master, the emperor and the princess are here, go out to greet them." ”
Although Kong Yingda is highly respected, he pays attention to etiquette, and he has never dared to be negligent and neglectful of the etiquette between monarchs and ministers. So he hurried out.
Li Su and Li Ning'er did not come up and went straight to the topic, but talked to Kong Yingda about the suitability of teachers and students.
Li Ning'er talked about how Kong Yingda was strict with herself back then, and praised him for his good teaching and educating useful people, including the emperor.
Over the years, Kong Yingda has already changed his old-fashioned personality back then, especially after he has been in contact with Wu Cong for so long, he has become quite flexible.
He knew in his heart that the emperor and the princess came to visit him, not just to catch up with the past. He said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, you want the old minister to do it, just ask me." ”
Li Ning'er told him Concubine Yang's wishes.
Kong Yingda nodded and said, "This should be done in this matter." Concubine Yang wants to do her best for her father to be a daughter, and the emperor wants to meet Concubine Yang's wishes and do her filial piety as a son, which is a great thing.
The minister raised his hands in approval. Leave this matter to the minister. ”
Li Su was very satisfied with Kong Yingda's attitude, and he and Li Ning'er thanked him on behalf of Concubine Yang.
Li Su and Li Ning'er chatted with Kong Yingda for a while, and then they were ready to leave.
Kong Yingda seemed to have something to say, and he was so spitting that his face turned red.
Li Su was very curious and asked, "Master, can you say anything you want, or is there something I need to do?" You open your mouth. ”
Kong Yingda squirmed for a while, and finally said what he requested.
It turned out that Kong Yingda's grandson was an adult and wanted to enter the imperial court as an official, so his son found him and wanted him to make arrangements.
Kong Yingda is the Minister of Culture, and the place where his grandson wants to go is not the Ministry of Culture, but the Taxation Bureau, which requires Kong Yingda to find someone to communicate.
