Li Shimin didn't care about these people, his eyes fell on the crown prince and the king of Qi for the first time, these two people were not too late, and they pinched the moment when the emperor was about to arrive, and only entered the door one step ahead of him.

Gaozu is far away in the palace, there is a considerable distance from the palace to the princess's mansion, Gaozu is the emperor, and he can get his daughter's death quickly, and he can rush over in such a short time, which shows the deep love between father and daughter.

But the crown prince and the king of Qi, they and Princess Pingyang are both compatriots of the same mother, and each other's mansions are no farther away from here than the Qin Palace.

After they got the news, they waited until the emperor was about to arrive at the door, and then pinched a little bit to enter the door before him, which was really chilling.

However, no matter how angry he was, it was inconvenient to say anything at this time, so he could only keep a cold face, but the crown prince and the king of Qi saw Gao Zu come in, and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Erchen has seen his father." ”

Li Shimin was so angry that he moved a step slower, but fortunately, his wife, the eldest grandson, was standing beside him, and the eldest grandson saw that he couldn't hide his anger on his face, for fear that he would do something inappropriate under his anger, so he reached out in time and quietly pinched his palm.

Li Shimin raised his eyes and glanced at his wife, and the two of them took Chai Zhewei forward to salute Gaozu: "The son has seen his father, and the grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather." ”

"Don't be polite, get up, Pingyang she ......" Gao Zu waved his hand, his eyes fell on his daughter, who was lying motionless on the bed with his eyes closed, and two lines of old tears flowed down.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson princess involuntarily turned her head, and the tears in her eyes rolled out uncontrollably again, Chai Zhewei leaned on her side, sobbing silently and weeping.

Gao Zu walked to the bed, held one of his daughter's hands, and found that the palm touched the place was cold, and the sadness in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he couldn't help crying bitterly: "Son, why are you so ruthless......

Li Shimin's eyes were red, he turned his gaze, Yuan Ji glanced at his sister on the bed, then turned his gaze to Li Shimin, and quietly took two steps closer to him: "Second brother and sister are deeply affectionate, when I came in, I looked at your look, and I thought that you would be so sad that you even forgot to give your father a salute." ”

Li Shimin retracted his gaze when he heard this, glanced at him with a very cold expression, and then looked away.

Li Yuanji was furious when he saw this, and was about to speak, but was stopped by the crown prince Jiancheng with his eyes, so he could only shut up, but looking at Li Shimin's gaze was very unkind.

"Father, you are old, don't overwork, mourn, Pingyang is in the spirit of the sky, I don't want to see you hurt your body for her." The prince's expression was also very sad, and he waited for the emperor to cry for a while before he stood up and spoke.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body." Chai Shao also spoke.

After Gao Zu was finally persuaded by others, the first thing he said was: "The funerals of Jiancheng, Shimin, Yuanji, and Pingyang, in addition to the princess's rituals, I want her to be buried with military rites." ”

"This, father, I'm afraid this is out of order, right? Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, I have never heard of a princess who was buried according to military etiquette......" Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and the crown prince subconsciously blurted out.

Chai Shao opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Li Shimin's voice sounded first: "I think my father's words are very reasonable, my sister is a princess who led the army, and she was injured on the battlefield and died, so it is reasonable to be buried according to military etiquette." ”

"Father, the son feels that the second brother's words are inappropriate, although Sister Pingyang also led troops to fight, but she is my princess of the Tang Dynasty, since the three emperors and five emperors, I have never heard of a princess's funeral is buried with military rites."

"If she breaks this example, it will definitely arouse many criticisms, with Sister Pingyang's temperament, she must not want to let her father become the focus of discussion in the world because of this." As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Sister Li Yuan's voice rang out.

"My sister has fought for the country for many years, and has made a lot of military achievements, no one has set this precedent in the past, there is no such princess, and now I have such a princess who does not let her eyebrows go, and she is buried with this ceremony, who can say no words?" Li Shimin stared at him coldly and said.

"You?" Li Yuanji was furious.

"Okay, don't quarrel, I'm determined to do this, when I Li Tang was able to enter Chang'an smoothly, Xiuning had a great contribution, after the establishment of Datang, she guarded the customs for me Datang for many years in Jinxi."

"Now he died of injuries on the battlefield, and he was buried with military honors, no one can say no, I understand the early dynasty, and I will give the order." Gao Zu let out a deep sigh and interrupted their argument.

After Gaozu left, the crown prince Jiancheng and Yuanji also left with him one after another, but Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wang Sun did not leave.

After these people left, Chai Shao walked up to him with a complicated face: "Erlang, you shouldn't argue with the crown prince and the king of Qi." ”

"This is the honor that my sister deserves, it's rare that my father has this intention, how can I not help my sister fight." Li Shimin said.

"But the courtiers will definitely object." Chai Shaodao said that he and Li Xiuning have been married for many years, so he naturally knows his wife's thoughts, and he is buried with a military salute, which must be the most in line with her.

It's just that the idea of male superiority and female inferiority has long been immersed in people's bones, and I am afraid that there are few people in the Manchu Dynasty who can support Gaozu's proposal.

"In this matter, I will support my father to the end, and anyone who tries to oppose it is me and I can't get by." Li Shimin opened his mouth categorically.

"But ......" Chai Shao still needs to be persuaded again.

"Brother-in-law doesn't have to say anything, even if my father doesn't mention this matter, I will admonish, now it's rare for my father to mention it, no matter how much I offend me, I will help my father to do it." As soon as Chai Shao spoke, his voice was cut off by Li Shimin.

The next morning, as Chai Shao said, as Gao Zu just put forward this proposal, it was strongly opposed by the Manchu civil and military, and the crown prince and the king of Qi watched coldly and did not say a word.

Li Shimin sneered and stood up, he swept the opposing ministers with a pair of tiger eyes coldly, and slowly spoke: "You oppose Sister Pingyang's burial with a military salute, to put it bluntly, I think there is no such precedent before. ”

"I want to ask you, what is the world that does not come into being out of nothing? It has been more than 2,000 years since the Xia Shang, and in the past 20 years, the system of law, agriculture and the imperial examination has been continuously developed and improved. ”

"There was no princess buried with a military salute before, it was that there had never been a princess who was qualified to be buried with a military salute before, and who Princess Pingyang was, no one here must not know."

"With her many military exploits, and the fact that her death was caused by wounds sustained on the battlefield on which she went out, if a person like her is not qualified to be buried according to military rites, you tell me, who is so qualified?"
