Wu Zetian's seemingly weak and compromised will made her finally grasp a certain initiative when she was dying. The biological mother's mother took the initiative to give up the title of emperor and was willing to be buried in the Qianling Mausoleum of Gaozong as the empress, which avoided a lot of embarrassment for Li Xian.

Li Xian ordered Wan'er to draft the "Book of Mourning for the Great Holy Empress of Zetian", and personally revised it word by word, adding a sentence to it, praising his mother as "a talented and far-sighted strategy, a great honor of great success, a thunderous martial arts, and a grand national funeral for Wu Zetian".

However, there are always discordant voices, and for Empress Zetian's will to be buried in the Qianling Tomb and be buried with Gaozong, Yan Shansi immediately jumped out to oppose it in court.

Yan Shansi generously said: "Bixia! The Venerable is buried first, and the lowly should not disturb the deceased after the mausoleum is completed. Although the Empress of Heaven is respected, she is inferior to the first emperor after all, and it is not a good omen to be humble.

Moreover, the Qianling Xuangong is a huge stone as the door, and the cracks are poured with iron juice, and now to open the Qianling, it is necessary to use an axe to chisel. The way of the gods, the body is still mysterious. If the construction is started, the construction will be carried out, and the spirit of the first emperor will be desecrated.

Moreover, the joint burial of the emperor and queen is not an ancient system, the imperial tombs in ancient times, most of the emperors and queens were not buried together, since the Wei and Jin dynasties, there have been emperors and queens buried together. The Empress of Heaven has always admired the ancient system, how could she ask for a joint burial? I'm afraid this is not the original intention of the Heavenly Queen......"

When Li Xian heard this, his face "croaked" and folded it down, what is the original intention of the Empress Zetian, could it be that I tampered with the edict of the queen mother?

In fact, Li Xian knew very well what his mother's intention was in doing this, and Wu Zetian was to prevent Li Tang's heirs from counterattacking her one day, so that her remains would not even be at peace. He also knew that Yan Shansi was going to oppose the joint burial.

Yan Shansi is not a drunkard at all, and the reason why he opposes the burial of his mother and father is so that when the Wu clan is overthrown one day, he can purge the people of the Wu clan without any scruples. Because this Yan Shansi is the hero of the rest of the party.

Yan Shansi didn't notice that Li Xian's face had sunk, and he still said impassionedly: "The minister thinks that Bixia should choose another auspicious place to bury Empress Zetian on the side of Qianling." If the Shinto Way is known, the path of seclusion should be understood; If there is no knowledge and no spirit, there is no benefit in burial! ”

Li Xian interrupted his words and replied with a sneer: "The edict of the queen mother, at that time, I and King Xiang, King Liang, Taiping and other imperial relatives heard and heard about it, and Shangguan Zhaorong was also present. I am the son of man, and I am buried together. I should obey my mother's orders! ”

Since the abolition of the five kings, Li Xian is in the limelight, and he has a great momentum of making a decision in the court. It's hard to find a few helpers, and there's no way to do it. He could only retreat to the side.

Li Xian glanced at the ministers. said lightly: "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, everyone will discuss the inscription of the mausoleum of the Empress of Heaven." ”

Li Xian wanted to entrust Shangguan Wan'er to write about this matter at the beginning, because Shangguan Wan'er assisted Wu Zetian at the age of fourteen and was most familiar with her life. As a result, the above official Wan'er was able to measure the world's talents, and she couldn't put it into practice after one night.

Li Xian also knew that this matter was difficult. turned to instruct Prime Minister Wei Yuanzhong to write, Wei Yuanzhong stubbornly agreed, but after holding it for two days, he was still very ashamed to ask the Son of Heaven to choose another smart one.

In terms of writing, whether it is Shangguan Wan'er or Wei Yuanzhong, there is no problem. The question is what can they write? The inscription is an evaluation of a person's life to cover the coffin, and Shilin attaches great importance to the words left by the ages.

But how can Wu Zetian's life be evaluated? The current emperor is her son, she is the empress of the previous emperor, but she is also a usurper, a traitor. I can't write derogatory words, if I just blindly sing the praises of virtue, what is behind her great achievements that is not hidden pickled and embarrassed?

Li Xian also had no choice, so he had to bring this problem to the court to discuss it, but as soon as he said this, the hundred officials immediately fell silent, and the golden palace was silent. For the purpose of erecting the monument, the hundred officials kept silent, and no one spoke.

Li Xian looked around and saw that all the ministers looked at their noses and hearts, and none of them dared to answer, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, so he had to take the initiative to order. His gaze moved slowly: "Well, Yang...... Xianggong, let's talk about it, how should this inscription be written? ”

Li Xian's "Yang" slip-on has been a little longer, and everyone surnamed Yang in the entire hall was shocked, even Yang Fan, as a military general, knew that the matter of writing the inscription would not fall on him, so he was also worried, but fortunately, Li Xian followed a sentence of "Xianggong".

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Zaisi with gloating eyes. Yang Zaisi's face turned into a bun when he heard this, he felt that he was about to become a jack-of-all-trades, and whoever had any trouble would pull him out, even the emperor.

Yang Zai thought for a long time, and could only reply: "According to the minister, according to the minister...... The work of the Queen Mother's life...... Really...... It's really hard to describe in words, so you might as well put a wordless tablet, and leave the merits and demerits to future generations to evaluate. ”

Yang Zaisi's move was a helpless evasion, but Li Xian's eyes lit up when he heard it, and all the civil and military officers also talked about it one after another, and they all felt that this idea was a stroke of genius.

Yes, how does the empress of the first emperor and the queen mother of the present judge her life? Can you say her, can't you? But if you have a good conscience, you can say that whoever writes will be disappointed. It's best to erect a wordless monument, and since it's difficult to describe, simply don't describe it.

The more Li Xian thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, this unavoidable problem was solved at once, he nodded, and said, "Aiqing is reasonable!" So...... I won't have to write about this inscription. King Xiang, King Liang! ”

Li Dan and Wu Sansi took a step at the same time, and arched their hands: "The minister is here." ”

Li Xiandao: "The national funeral should be a matter of affairs, led by King Xiang and King Liang. ”

The two of them bowed together and said, "Minister's order!" ”

Li Xian thought that it was very appropriate to deal with it in this way, the son did not say anything about his father, and he naturally did the same to his biological mother, what could he condemn his mother on the tombstone? That is not the way of the Son of Man. But if you talk nonsense and talk nonsense with your eyes closed, it will lose the significance of erecting a monument and make future generations laugh, so it is very appropriate to deal with it in this way.

He didn't expect that he would set such a precedent. He will be treated in the same way in the future. After his death, his successor did not know how to evaluate his life, and Zuihou also erected a wordless monument to him.

It's a pity that he is one of the countless male emperors throughout the ages, and Wu Zetian is unique, just one is unique, enough to get some people's eyes.

Wu Zetian's wordless monument, which was said by the person who held the stinky feet to be the empress with a broad mind and extraordinary spirit, said that he did not evaluate his life, and let future generations comment on his achievements. Ignore the fact that the monument was engraved for her by her descendants after her death.

As for Li Xianma, most people ignore that he also has a wordless tablet. Occasionally, some people think about it, and it comes down to others "being busy fighting for power and profit, and they don't have time to pay attention to Li Xian's posthumous affairs". When he said this, he completely ignored Li Xian's national funeral, and the imperial court was handled, but he didn't have time to carve a stele?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After King Xiang and King Liang presided over the funeral, the funeral for Wu Zetian began to be officially held. Hundreds of officials entered the palace in batches to worship. Among these ministers, the most eye-catching are Zhang Cambodia, Huan Yanfan and other five kings with different surnames.

They were all ministers under Wu Zetian. are also the people who pulled Wu Zetian off the horse. Now standing in front of Wu Zetian's coffin, what will they think? Yang Fan didn't know, and he didn't want to know, before the five kings came in, he was offering sacrifices in the mourning hall.

He and Wu Zetian have no personal grudges, so they are concerned about Wu Zetian's death. He didn't feel happy. Since he rushed to Luoyang for revenge and entered the official career by chance, he never agreed with Wu Zetian's actions, and he never surrendered to this empress in his heart. So he can't talk about sadness.

However, the emperor who has just passed away, after all, is the person who carries the most legendary experience in his youth, standing in front of her coffin, Yang Fan still has some memories, he worships seriously, there is neither false sadness, nor random perfunctory.

He didn't know what the five kings were thinking, he just silently stepped aside and watched the five kings come forward to pay tribute. The worship of the five kings was obviously a little absent-minded, and they hastily bowed and walked out of the mourning hall.

Zhang Cambodia is already an eighty-two-year-old man, and after being seized by the king, the heavy mental blow seems to have made his body collapse, and he panted before he walked down the steps. Huan Yanfan and Cui Xuanhui stepped forward to support him and said thoughtfully: "It's cold, Zhang Xianggong be careful." ”

The ministers who entered the mourning hall to pay tribute bowed their heads, as if they did not see them, and bypassed them as if they were avoiding a plague. Zhang Cambodia was at the bottom of the stairs, looking at the ministers who were avoiding his gaze and smiled faintly. Jing Hui said worriedly: "Zhang Xianggong doesn't seem to be in good health, you have to take care of your body." ”

Zhang Cambodia shook his head and said, "Old! It doesn't help. The old man is the same year as the Empress Zetian, and the Empress Zetian is gone, and the old man's limit is about to arrive. ”

Yuan Shuji frowned. Zhang Cambodia glanced at Huan Yanfan, and said meaningfully: "You and I Kuang Fu Li Tang will be crowned kings, and from now on, the hereditary will be replaced, and the children and grandchildren will not be able to enjoy it." Speaking of which, the Son of Heaven is not a bad treat for us. Hehe, Shi Ze is now resting and recuperating and loving the landscape, but are you still used to it? ”

Huan Yanfan replied lightly: "Old Minister Zhang, Yanfan has never traveled to the mountains and rivers, and now he is studying behind closed doors. ”

Zhang Cambodia said, "Oh? It's good to read, but I don't know what kind of books are Shi Ze reading? ”

Huan Yanfan said: "Yanfan is watching the story of Meng Weijun. A very interesting little story. When Meng Weijun was a young man, he saw his father's good land and thousands of gold and silver, so he asked his father, 'What is the name of your son's son?' Tian Ying said, "Grandson."

Tian Wen asked again: 'Then what is the name of your grandson's grandson?' Tian Ying replied, "Great-great-grandson", and Tian Wen asked again: "Then what is the name of your great-great-grandson?" Tian Ying shook his head and said, "I don't know this." 'Old Minister Zhang, do you think this story is interesting?' ”

Zhang Cambodia's face suddenly became difficult to look at, several of the people present were well-read people, naturally they had also read this story, knew what Meng Yanjun said next, and knew that Meng Yanjun Weishenme was going to say so, so their faces were solemn.

Huan Yanfan said with a smile: "I think what Tian Wen said is very reasonable, what is the use of saving thousands of family properties, and giving them to those future generations who can't even call them names?" Why bother to be a horse and a cow for a man? Husband, when you make meritorious contributions and become famous through the ages, it is the truth! ”

Huan Yanfan smiled and arched his hand to them, and said, "Farewell." ”

Looking at Huan Yanfan's distant back, Jinghui said to Zhang Cambodia uneasily: "Old Minister Zhang, you see that he is ......"

Zhang Cambodia's face was gloomy and he said: "If there is a disaster, it must be a soldier who will invite it." ”
