In the 11th year of Zhenguan, in July.

Chang'an City is a plain one.

As the founding monarch of the Tang Empire, Li Yuan's funeral naturally cannot be treated lightly, even if it is Li Er, he must pay attention to it.

All funeral arrangements are also followed to the highest specifications, and the vassal princes and clansmen from all over the country are also rushing back to Chang'an one after another.

And fireworks places such as the Teaching Workshop Division are also closed on the occasion of national mourning.

It can be said that Li Yuan did not enjoy the honor during his lifetime, but after his death, he enjoyed it all.

In the palace, Li Eryi was plain, his face was full of grief, he looked at the people above the hall, and asked mournfully: "The death of my father is a great loss for my Tang Dynasty, and this funeral should be taken seriously by the Ministry of Rites." ”

The person who values Li Yuan's funeral the most is actually him.

is still the same sentence, filial piety is greater than the sky!

This is not just a casual statement.

And, especially he......

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Ministry of Rites has prepared everything." When Li Xiaogong heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed down and said.

These days, speaking of which, their ceremonial department is the busiest.

Of course, this is also a no-brainer.

As long as this kind of thing is involved, it is the work of their Ministry of Rites, and they can't hide.

"What about Si Tianjian?" Li Er continued to ask.

"Back to Your Majesty, Si Tianjian has already picked out a few days in the past few days." As he spoke, Fang Xuanling took out a note from his sleeve cage and asked the chamberlain to hand it to Li Er.

Li Er just glanced at it and understood.

"Let Si Tianjian take another look."

Regarding Li Er's reaction, Fang Xuanling was not surprised at all, and immediately bowed down to accept the order.

The heart said, these guys from Si Tianjian this time finally owe the old man a great favor, right?

"Your Majesty, this time the kings have entered Beijing, what is wrong with Weichen, do you want to make some arrangements in advance?" Hou Junji said when he saw this.

As the secretary of the military department, this is his duty, but without Li Er's approval, he would not dare to transfer troops privately.

But the kings went to Beijing to mourn the emperor, and throughout history, it was unique, and there was no experience to learn from at all.

So, it's normal for him to be worried.

Of course, he also has the intention of being loyal to Li Er at this time.

Since Li Er's decree to order all the kings of the world to return to Beijing to mourn for the emperor was clearly stated to the world, he realized that the wishful thinking he had made at the beginning seemed to have failed.

As long as this Li Chengqian comes back, even if he can keep the position of the crown prince for the time being, the future is worrying.

Ordinary people don't put their eggs in one basket, let alone people.

When Li Er heard this, he pondered for a moment, nodded his head, and said: "Then Aiqing will work hard, but now that it is a national funeral, no one must dare to make a mistake, if there is really someone who does not know whether to live or die, and wants to make wind and rain during the national funeral, then I can only fulfill him!" ”

For those brothers of his own, although Li Er has always been vigilant, he really has never been worried.

As far as today's Datang is concerned, unless he is old and dizzy, no one has a chance.

"Your Majesty, now that the Emperor Taishang has died, after His Royal Highness and King Zhao return to Beijing, how should they be settled?" At this moment, Wei Zheng asked out of class.

When he asked, everyone pricked up their ears.

They are all smart people, who doesn't know what Li Er's intentions are?

"During the state funeral, everything is naturally in accordance with the rules." Li Er said, "Outside, I naturally recognize their new identity, after all, they earned it by their own ability.

But since they have returned to Datang, they should also recognize their identities. ”

The flavor implied by these words was very heavy, and when everyone heard this, they could be regarded as roughly understanding Li Er's thoughts.

But Wei Zheng was helpless, he didn't expect Li Er to have such a hand after all.

Speaking of which, his psychology at this time is also contradictory.

When Li Chengqian was strong before, he felt that Li Chengqian was too reckless, and he still needed to beat and experience. But now, Li Er turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain, and one move made Li Chengqian's years of hard work go to waste, and he was worried again.

Wei Zheng is such a person, and immediately said: "What about after the national funeral?" ”

Hearing him say this, everyone was shocked, and said in their hearts, it has to be Wei Zheng!

I guess he dared to ask this!

Isn't this forcing Li Er?

When Li Er heard this, he glared at Wei Zheng with an angry face, this old man is just so annoying, if he is not the emperor, he really wants to slap his mother at this happiest time.

But he didn't respond, and he didn't need to respond.

As far as he is concerned, Li Chengqian's kid, if he doesn't take this opportunity to clean him up, he will really have no tricks in the future.

The point is that Li Chengqian has threatened his rights, which he will not allow in any case.

Mo said that he was just a son, even if it was his own father, wasn't he ousted from power by him?

Of course, the rest of the people didn't say much, not even the one who reprimanded Wei Zheng.

Li Er's hand caught them off guard.

After all, each of them has heirs in the Ming Dynasty, of course, these people in the court, except for Wei Zheng, are not the sons of each family, and the impact on each family is not great.

As for Wei Zheng, everyone wouldn't think that he was worried about his son, even Li Er didn't think so.

This guy, although he is annoying a lot of the time, his character is still very strong.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally walked out of a different path, and it really shouldn't be wasted?" Wei Zheng saw that Li Er didn't speak, and continued, "The dispute between the princes is already cruel, His Highness just doesn't want to see his brothers cannibalism, so he just left Chang'an at the beginning, and now, although His Royal Highness still has shortcomings, he has grown a lot after all, so why should Your Majesty ......"

"Presumptuous!" Without waiting for Wei Zheng to finish speaking, Li Er immediately shouted angrily!

He was really annoyed.

Who are you insinuating against?

Brothers cannibalism, do you want to mention the Xuanwu Sect back then?

When everyone heard this, they didn't say a word, at most they secretly looked at Wei Zheng's resolute expression.

Should I say it or not, although many of them are tired of this guy, they really admire this guy.

When it comes to bravery, ordinary people really don't dare to compare with it!

But Wei Zheng was fearless, stiffened his neck, and continued: "Your Majesty, there are still millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, even if it is for them, please think twice about it!" ”

"Humph!" When Li Er heard this, he snorted coldly, "I don't know what I did, Wei Qing let me think twice?"

Even if Gao Ming returns to Beijing, is it just to mourn his Azu? Is this also my fault?

It's ridiculous! ”

Li Er is really a little cold, he hasn't done anything, the basin is on his head, can't you Wei Zheng even afford to wait for this little time?

It's not that he will change his mind, the point is that at this moment, he really didn't do anything, as for whether he will do it in the future, regardless of whether he will do it now, why should Wei Zheng blame me with what I haven't done yet?

Why?

"Wechen lost his words." Wei Zheng is not just blindly rigid, when he bowed down and said, "It's also the heart of a villain, thinking about it, with Your Majesty's mind, how can you sit back and watch millions of people fall back into chaos?" ”

Hearing his words, Li Er's nose was crooked, and just as he was about to reprimand, a small yellow door hurriedly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the Sun Moon Mountain is urgent." ”

"Sun Moon Mountain?" Li Er immediately guessed when he heard this, "It must be Lu Zhengqing's urgent report, and it will be submitted quickly." ”

When everyone saw that the chamberlain handed over a secret letter to Li Shuang, a group of people were a little puzzled.

At this time, the urgent report of Sun Moon Mountain?

Isn't it that Lu Zhengqing came back with His Royal Highness?

Thinking like this, everyone looks at me, I look at you, but there is no accurate answer, and I muttered even more in my heart.

But at this moment, Li Er's face became even more ugly after reading Lu Zhengqing's urgent report.

However, because Wei Zheng had already angered this one before, everyone didn't know what was going on.

"Your Majesty, but what happened to Sun Moon Mountain?" Seeing this, Fang Xuanling immediately asked.

"Zhuqing, see for yourself! Especially Wei Qing, you must watch it twice! With that, Li Er threw down the piece in a huff.

Fang Xuanling was stunned when he saw this, a little embarrassed, and said in his heart What did Lao Chen do wrong?

The chamberlain who had been waiting for Li Er naturally wouldn't let Fang Xuanling pick up this piece of music, so he immediately went down and picked it up and respectfully handed it to Fang Xuanling.

In an instant, everyone gathered around Fang Xuanling again, everyone was curious, curious about what happened, making Li Er so out of shape.

But just a moment after Fang Xuanling opened the concerto, both Fang Xuanling and the people surrounding Fang Xuanling were stunned.

"Tubo actually went north to attack Daming at this juncture?" Hou Junji subconsciously muttered.

This time it was good, almost everyone in the court heard it clearly.

However, Hou Junji secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because Li Chengqian personally recruited and couldn't come back, so his original investment would not be considered a failure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be as simple as having a girl for nothing.

"This ......" Fang Xuanling didn't know what to say after reading the concerto, glanced at Wei Zheng, and immediately handed the concerto to Wei Zheng.

He knew that Li Er actually wanted Wei Zheng to take a look.

When Wei Zheng took over the recital, Fang Xuanling also pondered in his heart that although Li Chengqian's move seemed to be beneficial to him, on the whole, it was not beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

If only from his standpoint.

He actually doesn't care who sits on the throne of the prince, at least at this stage, he has no intention of betting.

After all, Li Er is now in his prime, and he is plotting to assist the prince so early, what should Li Er think?

Besides, he is older than Li Er, maybe he died Li Er didn't die, and he plotted these things too early.

But whether it should be said or not, after watching the recital, everyone felt that Li Chengqian's luck was not ordinarily good.

At this juncture, where did Tubo invade the Ming Dynasty, it simply saved Li Chengqian's political career!

It is not an exaggeration to say that Tibet is Li Chengqian's great benefactor.

"What do you think?" Li Er sighed and asked.

"Logically speaking, it is understandable that His Highness will not be able to return to Beijing this time." Xiao Yu immediately stood up and said, "After all, the army is coming, and at this juncture, Daming is inseparable from His Highness." ”

The rest of the people also nodded.

In fact, they did not approve of Li Er summoning Li Chengqian back to Beijing at this time.

It's just that Li Er just chose such a good time, and they couldn't stop it.

Now, Li Chengqian can't return to Datang, which is not a bad thing for them.

After all, if Li Chengqian is trapped in the Tang Dynasty, it is especially unknown whether there will be some variables that they cannot control.

In any case, after all, Da Ming has hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings, and if they make a fuss, it will not be a trivial matter.

Li Er also nodded, and said: "It is indeed excusable, no matter what, Gao Ming is now the hope of millions of people, at this juncture, if he leaves his own people, I will also be disappointed."

Although filial piety has losses, as a king, there are times when you must learn to make trade-offs. ”

Even if Li Er felt uncomfortable in his heart, he could only say such a reason at this time.

He can't either, he can't let Li Chengqian let people come back to mourn when the Ming Dynasty is in danger of destroying the country, right?

If it is really because of this, Daming is broken by Tubo, then he and Li Er will not be able to escape their responsibility.

In the final analysis, these people in Datang now, including him Li Er, regard Daming as a part of Datang.

"Is there anything else Wei Qing has to worry about now?" As he spoke, Li Er looked at Wei Zheng.

He really wants to see Wei Zheng's jokes at this time, but are you still worried about him? Does he use you to worry? He's more hairy than a monkey, are you worried?

"Hey......" Wei Zheng let out a long sigh before he said, "It's Weichen's nonsense." ”

What can he say?

This father and son, there is no fuel-efficient lamp, this side just made a move, and that side in turn turned back, it is really their courtiers caught in the middle of the frightened splint anger.

"That's it." Li Er waved his hand, and finally said with a lack of interest, "It's all gone, now, I'm Datang better deal with my Datang affairs first."

Da Ming, the whip is beyond the reach of ......"

After speaking, Li Er got up and left, whether it was listening to his tone or judging from the reaction in his demeanor, he was a little lacking in interest.

And after he left, the people in the hall also made a commotion.

"It's a ......," someone muttered.

There are also countless people sighing there.

I don't know what they're sighing about.

"The servant shoots, you give me a real idea." Someone pestered Fang Xuanling, pointed to the top with a finger, and asked, "Is it going to change?" ”

"Nonsense!" Seeing this, Fang Xuanling immediately made a cold face and reprimanded, "It's just that Daming has encountered an invasion of Tubo, and His Royal Highness has to take charge in person, why is it so out of tune when it comes to your mouth?" ”

When he said this, Fang Xuanling's own confidence was a little insufficient.

When everyone heard this, they didn't believe it, and there were no fools present, and Tibet was coming?

Is it really such a coincidence?

And back in the Ganlu Palace, Li Er drove out all the chamberlains and palace maids, and sat there quietly and motionless.

Rest assured, he won't be so easily......

At this time, although he was angry and unwilling, he was more self-blaming.

Yes, you heard it right, he really blamed himself for the first time.

He couldn't understand why Li Chengqian was like a thief when he didn't show any malice!

Really, he couldn't figure it out!

I'm your daddy!

Your dear father!

That's how the you honor your dad?

Inside, Li Er roared angrily.

Of course, he could only roar in the depths of his heart, as an emperor, how could such vulgar words be on his lips?

Maybe this is the helplessness of being an emperor, and you can't scold it if you want to.

"......" took a deep breath, Li Er shook his head, he suddenly realized that even though he was rich all over the world, as a father, he couldn't fail anymore.

"Hmph." It was only a moment of effort, Li Er's rare self-blame finally dissipated, he snorted coldly, and said to himself, "In my life, I have fought Wang Shichong, defeated Dou Jiande, beheaded my own brother, and fought Aya, and now, do you finally want to compete with your son?"

Okay?

I don't have a decent opponent!

Then let me see, how many pounds and taels do you have today? ”

After saying a word, Li Er returned to his energetic appearance.

What a bullshit self-blame, ahh

Now that Li Chengqian has already chosen, how can Li Er, as his son, retreat?

Immediately pushed open the palace door of the Ganlu Palace, and with a wave of his hand, the chamberlain of the secret spy department, who had been waiting here, walked in.

"Go look it up." Li Er said directly, "I want to know the specific matters of this Tubo collusion with Su Bi to send troops to the north, and in addition, this time the war between the Ming Dynasty and Tubo, I want to have all the information!" ”

When the old chamberlain of the secret spy department heard this, he immediately bowed down and retired.

"Come on, pen and ink, paper and inkstone preparation."

Immediately, Li Er began to write at the desk again.

What he wrote at this time was a few secret letters, not to Li Chengqian, but the content of the letters was inseparable from Li Chengqian's three words after all.

Since Li Chengqian was unwilling to come back, no matter what the reason, Li Er had to accept this fact.

……

And when Li Er was arranging countermeasures, in the harem, Empress Changsun also received the news.

It is not happy or unhappy, after hearing the news from the foreign court, the eldest grandson queen is still unwavering.

As far as she is concerned, she doesn't care if Li Chengqian comes back or not.

There are many things that she can decide, but she knows very well that as long as she is alive, many things are within her control.

Over the years, she has watched her husband and her son fight openly and secretly, although she has never said anything, she still knows it in her heart.

If you want something unspeakable not to happen, you can only live longer, as long as you can live long enough, many things will not happen.

This is also the lesson she learned from Empress Dou.

Should I say it or not, assisting Li Er in launching the Xuanwumen Incident back then provided her with a lot of experience that she could learn from.

"What time is it?" The eldest grandson asked.

The palace maid said in a low voice: "It's time for Niangniang to exercise." ”

"Well, let's get ready for the gym." When the eldest grandson heard this, he stood up.

The so-called fitness is also a set of aerobics sent by Li Chengqian a few years ago.

It's hard to say whether it's useful or not, anyway, it was sent by his own son, and after the eldest grandson persisted for a while, he always felt that his body was a little stronger than before, so he persevered.

Today's eldest grandson queen, hehe, that's really a health expert!

Life is too healthy to say.

First, she thinks so, and secondly, Li Chengqian thinks so.

Although the two have not communicated specifically on this matter, their purposes do coincide.

"Not to mention, since Niangniang has practiced aerobics for several years, coupled with the pills sent by His Royal Highness, Niangniang's qi disease has improved a lot in the past two years."

The eldest grandson smiled when she heard this, she also felt this way.

Thinking like this, the eldest grandson looked in the direction outside the palace, and he didn't know what she was looking at.

Recently, I took a long vacation to recuperate, comfortable!
