After several months of fierce battles in Mobei, after returning from a complete victory, Pharmacist Li was given a thirty-six day rest.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty still maintained the system of five days and one rest, and Li Yaoshi led the troops outside, and did not stop for several months, and could get the holidays, totaling two months.

At this time, he has been in the cabinet, and this year is his sixtieth birthday, although his life has reached the peak of glory, there are still several unfulfilled wishes.

Thirty-two years ago, she died and was hastily buried in the Longzi Temple of Gushu Mountain, when her father had already instructed her to be buried in the Li cemetery.

Twelve years ago, the eldest brother Li Yaowang died, and the coffin of his sister-in-law was temporarily buried in the foothills of Chinan in Kunming.

A few years ago, Yang Xuanqing was ancient, and King Li Yao had already agreed to let him be buried on the side of the Li cemetery.

So at this time, Pharmacist Li decided to live for himself in an alternative way.

He wants to bury the coffins of these close relatives together in the Li Cemetery in his hometown of Sanyuan.

The funerals of Chu Xiu and Yang Xuanqing are all private matters.

The bones of Xiu were greeted from Gushu Mountain to Jingshi.

Pharmacist Li was in a high position, and it was inconvenient for him to go out in person, so he was sent by Li Dejian's brothers.

Yang Xuanqing's identity is more sensitive, and Hebi is in charge of the transfer of spirits.

Li Yaowang is different.

A few months ago, when Pharmacist Li became the Acting Duke of the Kingdom, Li Shimin transferred the title of Duke of Yongkang County to King Li Yaowang.

At this time, he was given official positions such as the envoy of the festival, the military of Zizhou, and the history of Zizhou.

Therefore, the funeral of King Li Yaowang was able to be protected by Honglu Shaoqing from the identity of the second grade.

Pharmacist Li first welcomed the coffins of his brother and sister-in-law to the Pingkang Mansion according to the military salute, and the coffins of Xiu and Yang Xuanqing were attached to it for 49 days.

The official residence is plain, declining and mourning, the great preparation is majestic, and the white curtain filial piety tent is listed directly on the street outside the gatehouse.

Lingqian Pai Shu Da wrote "Gift to the Envoy of the Envoy of the Military Zizhou of Zizhou Thorn Shi Yongkang Gong Li's Medicine King and Lady Da Xi's Spiritual Seat", there are high Taoist Taoist priests on the left to beat Jiao, and there are high monks on the right to lead the monks to worship and confess, and there are more royal feather treasures, advocacy, class sword, halogen book and other ceremonial guards.

The Emperor of the DPRK and the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, and most of them came to mourn in person.

Only Du Fu, because Du Ruhui's funeral is still in the filial piety period, can only owe people to lay on his behalf.

Li Shimin ordered the crown prince Li Chenggan to sacrifice as a student of Li Yaoshi.

And the eldest grandson queen even sent Concubine Yang Yuhua to come, so that she could mourn her father.

This pair of emperors and queens, Yu Chen's subordinates can really be said to be benevolent and righteous, and Pharmacist Li and Chuchen can't help but sigh.

On the day of the spirit, after the pouring, the coffin was moved according to the military salute.

First of all, there is a pair of nine-foot inscriptions, one of which is a big book "Gift to the Envoy to the Envoy of the Military Zizhou of Zizhou Thorn Shi Yongkang Gong Li's Medicine King", and another book "Gift to the Envoy of the Military Zizhou of Zizhou Thorn Shi Yongkang Gong Li Menda Xi's Wife".

There is also a guard of honor leader, Li Yaowang's second sons Li Xiuzhi and Li Xiuxing lead the execution, and Li Yaoshi and Li Keshi personally lead filial piety to support the coward.

As soon as you get out of Pingkangfang, you will find Jinguangmen - Chunmingmen Street in the north, and the street is full of sacrificial sheds.

The first shed in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate is set up by the emperor and queen, and then to the west, it is the sacrificial shed of the East Palace in turn, Li Chenggan is accompanied by Zhining and Kong Yingda, and he came to pay his respects.

Again, the prince and the prince of the county, each set up sheds in order of position, and Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong all came to the funeral in person.

At that time, Li Shentong had died, Li Xiaogong was still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Daozong was called back to Beijing after the suppression of the Turks and moved to the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Later, there were sacrificial sheds of various princesses' mansions, and Chai Shao and other horses who had a deep friendship with Li Yaoshi and Li Keshi also came in person.

There are also sacrificial sheds in the mansions of relatives, and Mrs. Li Keshi's eldest grandson Wushuang is the cousin of the eldest grandson queen, and the eldest grandson Wuji personally led his sons and nephews to pay their respects.

There are also sacrificial tents in the generals' mansions, and the generals who have gone to the Tiance Mansion to work with Li Keshi are also in person.

Then there were the central provinces, ministries, monasteries, prisons, as well as the representatives of Kui, Jing, Gui, Yang, An and other prefectures where Li Yaoshi once served, and the sheds were arranged all the way to the Jinguang Gate.

After exiting the Jinguang Gate, turn to the north, and along the road are the sacrificial sheds headed by Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling came to greet in person, and Pharmacist Li personally replied.

In each province, there is no need to repeat it one by one.

From here to the shore of Weishui, thirty miles away, the plain tent road is endless.

Crossing the bridge to Weibei, that is, entering the border of Xianyang County, and there are local government gentry to greet and send off.

Stopping here for one night, the next day Pharmacist Li, Chuchen, Li Keshi, and Wushuang boarded the car, and let Li Xiuzhi, Li Xiujian, Li Dejian, Li Dexian, and Li Keshi's sons Li Dashan, Li Dahui, Li Dazhi and others ride horses, so that the funeral procession can speed up.

Out of the county seat, the road is gradually rugged, and the ride is gradually bumpy.

Pharmacist Li and Chuchen simply got out of the car and stepped on the horse with Li Keshi and Wushuang.

At this time, the solar term has entered the summer, the autumn is high and refreshing, and the sky is sunny.

Looking around, the ears of corn in the fields have turned yellow.

Pharmacist Li remembered that when he was in Chang'an County, when he was in Gongcao, he watched the scene of farmers harvesting millet in autumn, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Izuchen was originally in the same age as his nephew and nephew, but when he saw this, he immediately came to the front of Pharmacist Li, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Pharmacist Li sighed: "Before the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the rice was not more than 100 yuan. Unexpectedly, in the last years of the great cause, Luoyang actually had 3,000 rice; In the first year of Wude, it was as high as eight or nine thousand dollars! ”

He sighed again: "A husband's grain must be taken off three liters a day, which is converted into one month, which is nine buckets."

Just one month to survive, a person needs 70,000 or 80,000 yuan......"

He sighed again, shook his head, and said, "So that you will starve all over the wilderness...... Hunger is everywhere! ”

Out of the dust Wanmian stretched out her soft wattle and held her husband's thick palm across the horse.

Pharmacist Li looked at his beloved wife and smiled slightly: "After that, the world gradually became peaceful, although there was a drought in the first year of Zhenguan, there was a famine in Guanzhong, and the rice was worth a horse, but it was much better than more than ten years ago." ”

At that time, a horse of silk was about five or six hundred dollars.

Chuchen let go of his husband's palm and sighed: "But I think that in the past three years, there has been a drought and famine, then locusts, and a lot of water. If it weren't for your work-for-relief the year before last, just our hundreds of households would have been able to survive. ”

Pharmacist Li first sighed: "Yes! ”

Then he raised his arms and waved high, pointing to the four fields from afar, and said happily: "But you see, now, the fields are ripe, and they are now yellow!" ”

He stretched out his hand to hold his beloved wife's fingers, and the two looked at each other, but when they saw each other's eyes, they were moist with joy.

In the afternoon, entering Jingyang County, there are also local government gentry coming and going to greet and send off.

Stop here for another night, and continue northward again.

As soon as I arrived at the boundary of Sanyuan County, I saw a large number of gentry and villagers, and followed the local government to greet them.

Later, until the Li cemetery, it was the plain tent road that was laid endlessly.

Came outside the cemetery, but seeing that Liu Shanyin, the young master of Honglu, and Jiang Xingben, the young craftsman, were already waiting here, Pharmacist Li and Master Li hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
