Finally stepping on the boundary of Weize Pass, Wang Yu and Chai Shao were even more anxious and drove the horses to move forward quickly.

That night, they finally came to the city gates.

"Open the gates."

The general of the Women's Army defending the city immediately became vigilant and shouted to the bottom: "Who are you? ”

Daquan took out the token and roared angrily: "Princess Jinyang and Huo Guogong have arrived, why don't you open the door quickly?" ”

The general was yelled at by him, but out of caution, he still led people out of the city to inspect first.

As soon as they left the city gate, Wang Yu saw the white scarves on their heads, his heart sank, and he drove his horse and rushed over.

The general hurriedly shouted: "Be on guard, release arrows." ”

"Stop, that's Princess Jinyang, Hugh is rude." Chai Shao shouted and rushed over.

Hearing a familiar voice, the general paused: "...... Bridegroom? Is it really you? ”

"It's me."

Before Chai Shao's words fell, Wang Yu had already come to them and asked, "How is Princess Pingyang?" ”

Speaking of Princess Pingyang, the general knelt down and choked up: "Princess...... Passed away......"

Hearing this, Wang Yu and Chai Shao thundered like five thunders, stunned in place, unable to believe it, and didn't want to believe it.

"Drive!"

Wang Yu whipped frantically and ran towards the city.

Chai Shao followed, eager to see Princess Pingyang immediately.

When I arrived at the place where Princess Pingyang lived, everything that came into my eyes was white, and Wang Yu was so sad that he almost fell off his horse.

"Sister ......"

Wang Yu ran forward desperately.

"Princess ......" Daquan and Qiu Yue hurriedly chased after her.

Chai Shao didn't run as fast as Wang Yu, but it was not far behind her.

"Princess Jinyang? Bridegroom? When Rowling saw them, tears suddenly fell: "Colt, are you late......"

Wang Yu asked, "Where is Sister?" ”

Rowling pointed to the room, and Wang Yu immediately rushed in.

Seeing Princess Pingyang lying quietly on the bed, her face was bloodless, she still didn't believe it, and put her finger on Princess Pingyang's wrist to listen to her pulse.

The coldness of the tentacles and the pulse without movement made Wang Yu have to accept the bad news.

"Sister, I'm late, I'm sorry, woo woo......" Wang Yu couldn't hold back anymore, and cried on Princess Pingyang.

Her cry caused the maid in the room to cry again.

Chai Shao stood beside the bed, quietly looking at Princess Pingyang, his eyes red.

After a long time, he calmed down and asked, "When did Sanniang go?" ”

"The princess said this afternoon that she wanted to go to the yard to bask in the sun, so we helped the princess to the yard, and then the princess said that she was tired and wanted to squint for a while, but she didn't expect that this squint and never woke up......" Rowling burst into tears.

Chai Shao held back the sourness in his heart and ordered: "You go down first, I will accompany Sanniang here tonight, and I will take her back to Chang'an tomorrow."

"Go pack up a few houses and get them settled."

He said to Qiu Yue again: "Qiu Yue, help Princess Jinyang to rest first." ”

Qiu Yue immediately stepped forward to help Wang Yu: "Don't be sad, princess, you have been patronizing and hurrying these days, and you haven't rested much, so let's go and rest first, otherwise your body will be unbearable." ”

Jin also persuaded: "Princess Jinyang, you go and rest first, if you are sick, the princess will be worried." ”

Wang Yu wiped a handful of tears and comforted Chai Shao: "The festival mourns and changes." ”

After speaking, he followed Jin out of the room.

Chai Shao sat down on the edge of the bed, holding Princess Pingyang's cold hand, and sadness came to him.

......

The next day, Chai Shao ordered the generals of Wei Zeguan to perform their duties, guard the border pass, wait for His Majesty's new will, and then command Princess Pingyang's people to pack their things and prepare to leave for Chang'an.

Rowling came to Chai Shao with a box and a letter: "Pony, this is something that the princess left you." ”

Chai Shao took the box tremblingly, opened the letter and read it.

On the other side, the Jin family also came to Wang Yu with a box: "Princess Jinyang, this is what the princess left you." ”

Wang Yu clenched his fists, took a deep breath, forced the sadness back, and then took the box.

She opened the box and saw a letter inside, and a picture album underneath it.

She put the box aside, opened the letter and read it: "...... Little Yu'er, do you know why I like you? Because I see you as if I saw myself, and you are very much like me.

“...... I am very happy to have such a righteous sister as you, and I hope you can continue to walk with my unfinished mission.

“...... Don't cry when you think of me in the future, laugh ......"

Before he finished reading it, Wang Yu was already crying silently.

......

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of Wude, Wang Yu and Chai Shao escorted the coffin of Princess Pingyang back to Chang'an.

The people waited on both sides of Suzaku Street, and when they saw the coffin of Princess Pingyang, they all knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

On this day, a thick sadness enveloped the entire Chang'an City, there was no laughter, no glamorous sound, only the cry of grief was heard.

When Li Yuan saw Princess Pingyang's coffin, although he was mentally prepared, he still shed tears.

His Sanniang is gone......

After the grief, it was about the burial of Princess Pingyang.

On the top of the main hall, the eunuch announced that in front of hundreds of officials, he read Li Yuan's will loudly: "Princess Pingyang has a blue heart, and she has the courage to skip others, gather the righteous army, and quell the rebellion...... Mingde is meritorious, posthumously called 'Zhao', and buried with a military salute ......"

As soon as the decree was issued, it was immediately opposed by the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, Princess Pingyang is a woman, how can she be buried with a military salute? Never, never. ”

Li Yuan said angrily: "Every time Princess Pingyang comes to the battlefield, she takes the lead and leads by example.

"She has served as a staff officer, never lost a campaign under her command, and has killed countless rebels, and no woman has been as good as her since ancient times.

"She is a princess, and she has outstanding military achievements, why not bury the princess with a military salute?"

Xiao Yu knelt down and persuaded hard: "There is no precedent for burying a woman with military rites, and it is not in line with the etiquette system, and I ask Your Majesty to take back your order." ”

The courtiers knelt down one after another: "Please take back your majesty's order." ”

The shouts resounded throughout the entire hall, shaking people's ears, but Li Yuan did not waver and said firmly: "This matter is so decided, if anyone mentions it again, it will be dealt with with by resistance." ”

"Retreat."

Li Yuan left without looking back, leaving the officials to look at each other on the same ground.

Those old ministers were unwilling, and said to everyone: "Your Majesty insists on this, for fear of being ridiculed by the people of the world, we, as courtiers, should do our duty to advise."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me to persuade Your Majesty."

So, a huge group of people came to Li Yuan's dormitory again, and continued to advise: "Your Majesty, this matter is not in line with the etiquette system, please take back your Majesty's order."

"If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, the ministers will not be able to kneel for a long time."

When Li Yuan heard their words, he said angrily: "Close the door to Lone, if they want to kneel, let them kneel."

"Lone's daughter is a princess, and Lone wants to be buried in whatever kind of etiquette system, so why do you need these old horsemen to point fingers?

"Close the door!"

The doors of the temple were closed, and the ministers were still on their knees, shouting exhortations.

Li Jiancheng, who was standing not far away, looked at it for a while, and suddenly looked at Li Shimin beside him: "What does King Qin think about this matter?" ”

Li Shimin's tone was light: "My father is the lord of the world, and his words are holy decrees." ”

The decree cannot be disobeyed.

Li Jiancheng's eyes flickered, did he really think so?

If this is the case, then the father has made himself the crown prince, and he should not covet the position of prince......
