Chapter Forty-Seven: Sinking and Returning to Destiny
"Li Yuanjia, King of Han, Li Yuanliang, King of Huo, and Li Feng, King of Zhuang...... Meet the saints, meet the queen of heaven! ”
The kings of the clan, as well as a group of important ministers of the court, bowed down at the same time to see the emperor and queen!
Emperor Li Zhigao sat on the dragon chair, and sitting side by side with him was the queen of heaven Wu Cao, Wu Zetian.
On the top of the steps, Yongwang Li Xian, Ying Wang Li Xian and Xiangwang Li Dan stood on one side at the same time, and a little lower was the left Xiang Liu Renliang!
"Uncle Wang, Brother Wang, and all Aiqing, be flat!" Li Zhi's gentle voice came from above.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Li Xuan stood up solemnly, his gaze now falling from the back of the crowd, and landed under the steps.
"Uncle Wang, Brother Wang, I have worked hard all the way, I asked people to prepare a luncheon, and at noon I will entertain all Uncle Wang, Brother Wang, with the queen!" Li Zhi's voice was very relaxed, as if he was not worried at all because of the boiling rumors in Luoyang and Chang'an now.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Everyone present bowed down at the same time, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be slightly stunned at this moment.
At this time, an elegant purple-robed figure walked out from among the kings, and Li Xuan saw that it was Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly condensed slightly, and all the faces became serious.
Li Xuan looked at King Huo Li Yuanliang and frowned slightly, no, it's going to be difficult so early!
"Saint, diva!" Li Yuanliang stood in the center of the main hall, arched his hands, and said with a solemn face: "The prince is benevolent and filial, and the world admires him, so before entering the divine capital, Brother Han, as well as all the royal brothers, royal nephews, and ministers wrote a eulogy to commemorate the prince, please the saint and the queen of heaven to preview!" ”
As he spoke, Li Yuanliang took out a piece of music from under his body and handed it to Wang Fulai, the leader of the eunuchs next to him!
Wang Fulai took it, then held it with both hands and handed it to Emperor Li Zhi and Queen Wu Cao on the dragon chair.
Wu Cao took it directly, opened it and looked at it, his face was slightly surprised, and then handed it to Emperor Li Zhi.
Li Zhi just glanced at it, and then listened to Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, continue: "The prince is gifted and benevolent, his filial piety is pure, he abstains from extravagance and vainness, and the leaves of the earth are green, passing through Ziju. Re-illumination and color covering, morning soaring and breaking the sound, with the immortals, frost and snow are sad, and the foundation of martial arts is worshipped; Move to the driver's car, heaven and man are born, and respect the ...... of eternity"
Among the kings of the clan, Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, is the elder, and his mother was born in the Yuwen clan, with a noble status, and the name of the virtuous should be Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo.
Back then, Wei Zheng once commented on Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, calling him "scholarly and elegant", and finally married his daughter to Li Yuanliang as his wife.
Li Xu, the son of King Huo standing behind Li Xuan, was born to the Wei family, with a family history, excellent rhetoric, and good at calligraphy and painting, and music.
This was just a eulogy, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the hall eased a lot at once.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Huo Wang Li Yuanliang continue to speak: "...... The minister received a letter from the prince in March, saying that he was unwell, and he never thought that he would be cured of his illness and return to the mandate of heaven, which is really the regret of my clan, the regret of the Tang Dynasty, and the regret of the world! Please also mourn Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven! ”
Sick in March, seriously ill in April, let it be.
"Please mourn Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven!" Everyone present subconsciously bowed down collectively and wailed deeply!
Huo Wang Li Yuan's sudden change, almost the vast majority of people present did not react, but just bowed and saluted with the public.
In the audience, only one person slowed down more than a beat, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.
Everyone else was a little confused, but none of them were as obvious as he was.
All the keen people present paid attention to his anomaly, including Li Xuan, including Li Yuanliang, Li Yuanjia, including Hao Chujun, including Liu Renliang.
It also includes Li Xian, the king of Yong, Li Xian, the king of England, and Li Dan, the king of Xiang, who are standing above, not to mention the queen of heaven Wu Cao and the emperor Li Zhi.
Li Xian, Li Xian, and Li Dan were just a little surprised, and that person quickly mixed up with everyone, and he didn't show the same at all.
But Wu Cao and Li Zhi's faces were extremely gloomy for a moment, but they were extremely indifferent in an instant, and all expressions disappeared without a trace.
Zhuang Wang Li Feng.
Huo Wang Li Yuanliang's sudden sudden shock really shook a lot of people, but the real most unexpected was Zhuang Wang Li Feng.
The twenty-second son of Gaozu, Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, was the eleventh son, the twelfth son Li Yuanze, the king of Peng, and the thirteenth son, Li Yuanyi, the king of Zheng, died of illness, and Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, was the fourteenth son.
King Zhuang Li Feng is the fifteenth son, and it is precisely because King Huo Li Yuanliang stood in the center of the hall and played without a cover in the middle, which made King Zhuang Li Feng's expression clearly revealed.
Stunned, amazed and incredulous, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Obviously, Li Feng, the king of Zhuang, is the person who is most suspicious of the cause of the prince's death among the kings of the clan, and he is also the most active person who has always jumped up and down.
Now, the performance of Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, directly said that the prince died of illness and completely died.
No matter how the government and the opposition talk about the turmoil, the royal family, the kings, and the ministers of the court all unanimously agree that the prince died of a serious illness, and there will be no more objections!
"All the ministers are flat!" Li Zhi stretched out his hand, and everyone present stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Li Xuan also stood up straight and didn't look at Zhuang Wang Li Feng again.
In fact, now at this time, no one looks at Zhuang Wang Li Feng anymore.
Because we all know that he's finished!
Huo Wang Li Yuanliang stood in the center of the main hall, arched his hand, and continued: "Sage, the queen of heaven, the minister knows that His Majesty will bury the prince in Luoyang, for the sake of the world's Li Shu, light and thin labor, and alleviate the world, but the prince is alone in Jingshan, whether it is a little lonely, and please ask the saint and the queen of heaven to rethink, whether to bury the prince in Zhaoling, with all filial piety!" ”
After speaking, Huo King Li Yuanliang knelt deeply on the ground, and at the same time, all the princes and princes of the clan present knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please also ask the saint, the queen of heaven to redo the thinking, with the filial piety of the whole prince!" ”
Li Yuanliang still showed his grandeur after all, and the unanimous actions of the princes and princes showed that they had discussed it before!
Although Li Xuan was a beat slower, she still knelt down along the current.
The faces of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian above sank at the same time, and they felt very troubled for a while.
Whether it is King Huo or King Han, it is obvious that he does not believe in the recent rumors between the government and the opposition that the prince was killed.
The prince's physical condition can be hidden from the people of the world, but it can't be hidden from them.
In the past few years, everyone has to go to the court to see the prince Li Hong, the prince's health is already very poor, and the government is involved, and the rivers are declining.
It's a fluke to be able to survive today, so not many people take those rumors seriously.
The words that Li Xuan was asked by Li Yuanliang, King Huo, at the gate of the palace before, can be regarded as an explanation to the kings.
It's a pity that Li Feng, the king of Zhuang, was bent on making trouble, but he didn't expect to be so trapped!
However, when Li Yuanliang asked these words, Li Feng's expression suddenly perked.
Everything else is a rumor, but no matter what, the clan has the right to inquire about the burial of the prince in Luoyang.
Li Zhi and Empress Wu felt the same tricky, filial piety to accompany the burial of Zhaoling was only a reason, but let the prince stay alone in Jingshan, even their own hearts could not bear it.
Of course, Li Hong was buried in Jingshan, of course, he couldn't be the only one, and the courtiers, subordinates, and slaves who were buried with him didn't know how many.
But no matter how it is, it can't be compared with the burial of Zhaoling, after all, there is not only Emperor Taizong, countless royal relatives, important ministers and generals, and there is a world underground, which is not much stronger than being buried alone in Jingshan.
Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "What Uncle Wang said does have a certain truth, and I can't bear to leave Hong'er alone in Jingshan, but the government and the central government are not financially ......."
At this time, Wu Zetian reached out and held Li Zhi's hand, and her eyes fell on Li Xuan: "King of Nanchang, you have always had a friendly relationship with Hong'er, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Li Xuan raised his head suddenly, his face full of astonishment!
