Chapter Twenty-Nine: Li Shimin's Layout
Du Ruhui passed away, and Li Shimin was so sad that he couldn't help himself. Ordered a three-day boycott.
And announced to the world, posthumously presented Du Ruhui as a commonplace, the nickname is Cheng, and the author Lang Yu Shinan made an inscription for Du Ruhui, and the historian called Du Cheng Gong Ruhui.
Li Chengqian was summoned to the palace after returning from the Laiguo Mansion, and the old Li Gang didn't know what he was busy with, so he didn't appear in the East Palace for three days.
So Zhang Zheng found that he started the holiday after one day of school.
It's really impermanence in life, and the large intestine encloses the small intestine.
Zhang Zheng said: "The days when you don't have to get up early to go to school are good days!" ”
After returning to a happy life for two days, Zhang Zheng felt that he had finally come back to life.
Although the buttocks still hurt a little, fortunately, they have scabbed over and do not affect their movements.
Today is the third day of Zhang Zheng's holiday, and it is also the day of Du Ruhui's funeral.
Zhang Gongjin was already waiting in the front yard of the Guogong Mansion, and today he was going to see off his old friend for the last time.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Zheng finally came late, Zhang Gongjin glared at him fiercely with his beard, and scolded: "Son." ”
Zhang Zheng looked at his father, who felt hateful in the past, and rarely didn't talk back.
took the initiative to step forward to lead the horse and saddle Zhang Gongjin and said, "Father, please get on the horse." ”
"Hey, this son of a, he is so respectful today, what kind of moth are you going to do?" Zhang Zheng's abnormal attitude made Zhang Gongjin's heart hang.
Judging from past experience, this son of evil is definitely not well-intentioned.
However, Zhang Gongjin didn't show it, but turned over and got on the horse according to his words, and then stared at the son in front of him motionlessly with unkind eyes.
Zhang Zheng saw that Zhang Gongjin got on the horse, and also stepped into the carriage that the little guy in the house had already prepared.
Zhang Gongjin saw the contrast between Zhang Zheng today and the past, and muttered in his heart: "Strange! ”
Then he greeted the guards in the house, and led Zhang Zheng and his party to the Laiguo Mansion to beat horses.
……
At this time, the Lai Guo Mansion was already a sea of people, and people died like lights going out, whether they were friends with Du Ruhui, or they had political disagreements, or they had enmity.
Those who should have come, those who shouldn't have come, all came, to see off this generation of famous ministers of the Zhenguan Dynasty.
Du Ruhui was born in Jingzhao Du, and he was the same as the famous Queen of Poison Cake in later generations, the queen of Tang Zhongzong Li Xian, and the Jingzhao Wei family who was born in Queen Wei, and was called Chengnan Wei Du, and the Jingzhao Du family who went to the sky five feet.
Therefore, Du Ruhui's coffin is to enter the Du ancestral tomb, which is located thirty miles south of Xianning County.
It is not far from Chang'an, so the funeral time of Laiguo Mansion is relatively early.
With the acquaintance sent by the Du family, he shouted: "Get up the coffin!" ”
There were bursts of mourning from the mourning hall of the Lai Guo Mansion.
Subsequently, the honor guard of the Duke of Laiguo Mansion was played, and Du Ruhui's eldest son Du Gou walked in the front with a lot of money.
The second son, Du He, had blank eyes and a pale face, and followed behind his eldest brother.
Du Ruhui's coffin slowly left the Laiguo Mansion, and the section of road from Zhuque Street to Mingdemen had already been emptied.
The funeral procession, which stretched for several miles, accompanied by bursts of mourning and mourning, escorted Du Ruhui's coffin all the way from Mingde Gate out of Chang'an to the direction of the ancestral tomb of the Du family in Xianning.
A deep sense of grief permeated the entire funeral procession.
"Ke Ming~ Walk slowly, Ke Ming, go slowly." Fang Xuanling was in tears, holding Du Ruhui's coffin and crying all the way.
No matter how long the road to Xianning is, there will be an end to it.
When the sun set on the top of the mountain, Du Ruhui's coffin was still sent to the ancestral tomb of the Du family.
Just as the funeral procession was about to enter the ancestral tomb of the Du family, a neat sound of horses' hooves sounded on the official road behind them.
Flying horses open the way, it is the emperor's travel.
"It's a flying horse belonging to the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, Your Majesty's pro-army, Your Majesty is here." The sharp-eyed man was the first to shout.
More than 1,000 flying cavalry soldiers came from far and near, and the funeral procession automatically spread out to both sides of the road, making way for a road that went directly to Du Ruhui's coffin.
Li Shimin did not stop, but rode a fast horse through the middle of the road and went straight to Du Ruhui's coffin.
"Keming, I'm here." Next to Du Ruhui's coffin, everyone saluted Li Shimin, who came on horseback.
Li Shimin didn't hear it, but just touched Du Ruhui's coffin and cried: "Keming, I'm here." I've come to see you off. ”
Then Li Shimin made a move that shocked everyone.
walked to a wrestler who carried the coffin, signaled the wrestler to get out of the way, and Li Shimin pushed his shoulder and went up.
"Your Majesty, no!" Led by Du Ruhui's eldest son, Du Wei, countless voices of dissuasion sounded at the same time.
Even Fang Xuanling, who was next to the coffin, didn't have time to stop Li Shimin's sudden move.
Li Shimin wiped a handful of tears and said slowly to the people who dissuaded him. "Keming is my humerus, a major minister of the society, why not give him a ride."
After speaking, he followed the rhythm of carrying the coffin, one step, two steps, and three steps......
It wasn't until he took nine steps that he stopped.
Nine is the extreme, and it is also the ultimate that Li Shimin can do.
The emperor carried the coffin, what a mournful honor.
The funeral crowd looked at this touching scene, and they were so moved that they wept silently......
Zhang Zheng watched Li Shimin's performance and was stunned, is this the emperor, is this the mind of the emperor through the ages?
With Du Ruhui's coffin, he slowly entered the tomb that had been dug first.
In the crowd, I don't know who took the lead in singing Tao Qian's elegy:
"The wild grass is boundless, and the aspen is also bleak.
In the middle of September, I was sent out of the suburbs.
There are no people living on all sides, and the high tombs are on the mountain.
The horse is looking up to the sky, and the wind is self-depressed.
The dark chamber has been closed, and it will not return for a thousand years.
If the dynasty is not restored for a thousand years, the virtuous people are helpless!
They have always given each other away, and each returned to his home.
Relatives or sorrows, others have also sung.
What is the way to die, and the body is the same as the mountain. ”
……
The tomb was closed, and the mourners reluctantly left the ancestral tomb of the Du family, looking back from time to time, not knowing whether they were expecting a miracle to happen.
Du Ruhui, a famous minister of Zhenguan, with the tomb road blocked, this life came to a perfect end. It also means that Datang has nothing to do with him from now on.
Zhang Gongjin and Zhang Zheng, father and son, returned to Chang'an, and it was already sunset.
The father and son watched the whole process of Du Ruhui's burial, and Li Shimin returned to Chang'an after the performance.
As soon as Zhang Gongjin led Zhang Zheng and his guards to the gate of Zhang's mansion, a guard who stayed behind stepped forward to report: "Grandpa, Your Majesty has a will, if you return to the house, you will immediately enter the palace with Xiao Langjun to discuss matters." ”
So Zhang Gongjin and Zhang Zheng didn't even enter the house, so they turned around and rushed towards Taiji Palace.
The father and son rushed to the gate of the palace, and there were chamberlains leading the way, and they entered the Manna Hall unimpeded.
Stepping into the Ganlu Palace, Li Er's eyes were red and he knelt on the main seat, and Li Ji, Cheng Yanjin, Hou Junji, Niu Jinda, Chai Shao and others were also sitting at the bottom.
Seeing Zhang Gongjin coming, Li Shimin greeted: "Gongjin, I'm waiting for you." ”
Looking at the military boss in the hall, Zhang Zheng was confused, why did he call himself here at this kind of meeting, was he beaten?
But I heard Li Shimin suddenly say to everyone in the hall: "Keming died suddenly, and I was caught off guard, so that incident could only be launched in advance." ”
"What, what?" Zhang Zheng was even more confused.
Cheng Yanjin shouted in a loud voice: "The old minister's horse lance has long been hungry and thirsty, Your Majesty, give the order." ”
Li Shimin continued: "The generals listened to the order, acted according to the original plan, and set off immediately without delay. ”
"Yes, the last general will never be dishonored." The old generals replied in unison, and then saluted Li Er's farewell.
What are you talking about, is Li Er calling himself to be confused?
Zhang Zheng was stupid, but when he saw Zhang Gongjin get up, he had no choice but to keep his stomach full of questions, and was ready to follow Zhang Gongjin home to ask again.
"Boy Zhang stays."
