Chapter 165: The Seven-Day Funeral

The seventh day is the day of Ruizong's burial, and Chang'an City is like a plain piece in winter.

The emperor led the way, all the way out of the city to the mausoleum, where the coffin was placed.

Li Yuan was also among the people who guarded the spirit, and the prince was the closest to him, and he only had to turn around to see King Chen. But he couldn't watch it yet.

He stumbled with a limp and the man next to him helped him.

Li Yuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was Li Shen. The sound of mourning, the crying, and the cries of the people gave them a chance to talk.

"The master is going to go to the vigil, do you have anything to say?" Li Yuan's sleeves hung down, and he held Li Shen's hand tightly, "You are from the Qingsi Palace, not the two people I cultivated." ”

"Li Shen knows."

After speaking, Li Shen felt a letter stuffed into his sleeve, Li Shen frowned quietly, "The waiter may go by himself." ”

The people among them are still arranged by the Duke of the Kingdom.

Li Yuan bowed slightly, "Don't delay the process." Li Shen continued to hold on, and Li Yuan said in his ear: "I will try my best to live, and I hope that King Chen will not let Li Yuan wait too long." ”

Li Shen said "um" and was speechless.

Ruizong's coffin entered the mausoleum, everyone bowed in front of the hall, and when everyone took advantage of the car to return, Li Yuan and the three attendants who came here were left behind.

King Chen's carriage was in front, and when Gong Guo passed by, his eyes looked at Li Shen for a while, "Why do I think you are familiar?" ”

Li Shen replied: "The slave served King Chen in the Qingsi Palace, and after King Chen left the house, the slave went to His Majesty's side, cleaned it several times, and also saw the Duke of Guo. ”

"You served by the side of the Emperor?" Chen Yu's eyes sank, the eunuchs around Ruizong were all killed except for Li Yuanrao, how could there be one.

Xiao Ke lifted the curtain slightly, "He serves me, and he serves me when I am in the palace." ”

"Isn't it General Li Chun?" Gong Yan looked at Li Chun, who was riding a horse in front of him, and was still suspicious.

He immediately sighed, "General Li is not a member of the Inner Servant Bureau, and all the affairs in the palace have to go through the Imperial Servant Bureau and the Inner Servant Bureau, so naturally I have to run errands." ”

Chen Yu smiled, his eyes still looking at Li Shen, "Then serve King Chen well!" ”

Gong Yu Guogong walked away, Xie Ying saw King Chen's gloomy expression, so he said leisurely, "Go home!" ”

Li Shen sat on the wheel of the carriage and was about to drive the horse, and threw the letter into the carriage while dusting the ashes. Xie Ying quickly picked it up, and Li Shen said, "If the princess feels bored, you might as well take a look." ”

"Okay." Xie Ying covered the letter first, and Xiao Ke came back to his senses and saw it, so he grabbed Xie Ying's hand tightly.

She raised her eyes slightly, "Fifth brother." ”

"Let's all see!" He let go slightly, the emperor's carriage had already left, and the carriages of several princes had also left, heading towards Chang'an City in a row.

Xiao Ke opened the letter, which was written by Li Yuan.

King Chen personally sees:

Nu had the courage to write this letter to the king, in order to inform the king of the reason. His Majesty died suddenly that day, and it was the queen who persecuted her, and died in anger. In order to save his life, he revealed His Majesty's edict to the Duke of Zhu Guo, and changed it in imitation of His Majesty's handwriting. (1st photo)

The previous page is the king's weapons to be put away, and this page is for the king to burn after reading. The edict of the Zhongshu Order was actually written by me, and the king can feel that the handwriting is like His Majesty when he sees this letter!

His Majesty had told the king that time was short, and that he had prepared an edict to make the king the new king. I was also worried that the Duke of Zhen Guo would do it first, so he ordered me to write down this false edict and use it when necessary.

Just like His Majesty said, there is not much time for everything, please make plans in advance, although the slave is in the emperor's mausoleum, there will eventually be a time to die, if the slave's death can have some meaning to complete His Majesty's entrustment! (2nd photo)

Xiao Ke closed the letter, remembering the doubts of everyone in the hall that day, and remembering the slight frowning of Zhongshu Ling, the reason why it took half a day for the Duke of Yan to solve it turned out to be that Daddy was on guard early.

When he knew that he was going to Huainan, he was indeed surprised that Daddy did not tell him the final decision.

Huainan is rich, salt and iron military affairs, and the most suitable for garrisons.

"Fifth brother, is it just a pretense for us to go to Huainan?" Xie Ying watched as a few pieces of paper gradually crumpled in his hands.

"You should just go to Huainan to relax." After Xie Ying spoke, he let go of his hand and looked at him gently.

Xie Ying shook his head slightly, "Of course Xie Ying will play, but I will also do what I should do." ”

Xiao Ke sighed lightly, looking at her firm gaze, his heart was still slightly sour, if Yingying, a little dodge, he was trying his best to push her out of this game.

"Don't be cranky." Xie Ying stretched out his hand to hold his cheek, Xiao Ke was slightly stunned, "Fifth brother, this is called another village!" ”

"Yingying, are you really not afraid?"

"I'm afraid," her hand was soft, with warmth, and said in the gentlest tone, "I'm afraid that the fifth brother will be unhappy and unsafe." ”

Xiao Ke rubbed it slightly on her palm, "I've worked hard for you these days." ”

Since His Majesty fell ill, Xie Ying has been in charge of the palace, sent the palace maids, and took care of her who was poisoned, how good it is that she can still live in her world!

"It's not hard." Xie Ying smiled lightly.

The carriage stopped slightly, and Xie Ying glanced through the curtain, "It's time to enter the city." Once she entered Chang'an City, she went her own way, and it was no longer suitable to talk about what had just happened, and she had already hidden the letter at the dagger.

I was speechless all the way until I returned home.

In the Songzhu Hall, Li Shen stood and saw Xie Ying's exposed arm, which was actually tied to a dagger, and Li Yuan's letter was folded and stuffed between the inner arm and the dagger.

When he untied it, Xie Ying's white arm was flushed, and he was busy, "The princess is suffering!" ”

Xie Ying was slightly stunned and glanced at the red on his arm, then smiled, "What's this, it'll be fine in a while." ”

"Li Shen, you are standing here, do you have anything else to say?" Xiao Ke saw that he did not leave, and the mansion also set up a courtyard for him.

"King Chen, why does the princess think she is going to Jiangnan for this?"

Xiao Ke chuckled, "Whatever your master tells you to say, just say it!" ”

Li Shen bowed, "Jianghuai is the place of origin of the Li family, Jiangnan is rich, salt and iron get money, and money can be used to garrison soldiers." ”

"I know all of that." Xiao Ke said lightly, "Is there anything else, such as Your Majesty's death?" ”

"Your Majesty's death is in the letter." Li Shen said lightly.

Xiao Ke's fingertips tapped on the case, "Didn't Duke Zhen suspect the edict?" ”

Li Shen showed a smug smile, "Although only the master was serving in the palace that day, when Her Royal Highness the Queen called the imperial doctor, all the people who were waiting heard it, and naturally someone quickly went to invite the imperial doctor." ”

His Majesty's sick imperial physicians have always lived near the greenhouse hall, and the six imperial physicians discussed the use of medicine.

"It's easy to kill eunuchs, but it's hard to kill the doctor." Li Shen bowed again, so after His Majesty's death, the Duke of Yu Guo only had a few hours from afternoon to dawn.

And Li Yuan was frightened, and he couldn't write the edict again. Gong Guo wanted to dispose of some people, but he didn't touch his own hands, and started the second day's small collection, just let people guard Li Yuan, Li Yuan has been in the palace for decades, and this ability to be accommodating is still there.
