When Li Shimin received the news, he was not as heavy as Li Ke, but his senses were also very complicated, and it was ridiculous to say, aside from those brothers who died prematurely and died in struggle, Li Yuanjia was actually the first brother who could be said to die heavier than Mount Tai and full of honor.

His senses are very strange, he and Li Yuanjia can't talk about any feelings, after all, they haven't gotten along well with each other, how can they have feelings, but when they received the news, Li Shimin still had an unspeakable sadness.

After all, this is his half-brother, and more importantly, his death is full of respect, such a person, even if it is an unrelated person, will always make people feel sad.

He is a martyr of the Tang Dynasty.

"How is Li Ke over there? What about the mood? Li Shimin looked at Chang Lin and asked.

"Your Highness is very sad." Chang Lin said softly.

"Yes, it's like I once told him, that's right, I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me. Hopefully, he won't blame himself for these sins. ”

"Order the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Military Affairs to make relevant preparations for the funeral, send 3,000 Imperial Forest Army to Huilong Township, cremate Li Yuanjia's body on the spot, take Li Yuanjia's ashes back to Chang'an with Tang etiquette, and bury them in the Tang National Martyrs Cemetery with military rites on a certain day." Li Shimin said directly.

"Your Majesty, don't you accompany the funeral?" Chang Lin asked softly.

The mausoleum is Li Yuan's mausoleum, like Li Yuanjia, after their deaths, they generally have to accompany the funeral and offer the mausoleum, including Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, which are most likely to accompany the funeral.

"No, as the first martyr of the Tang Dynasty, he should set an example for the world. Li Keli Datang National Martyrs Cemetery is not a kind of city gate standing wood, and Li Yuanjia sacrificed for the country, so he should enter the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery with the highest honor and accept the respect of all the people. ”

"And those who have not made meritorious deeds will be buried with them and enter the mausoleum." Li Shimin's tone was calm, and he said lightly.

"Yes." Chang Lin said silently.

"To put it bluntly, this is also a political method, and from a third-party point of view, it is very dirty. For the time being, I'll handle it, Li Ke is still too tender. Li Shimin said with deep eyes.

"Yes." Chang Lin silently agreed, "The minister will go and announce the decree immediately." ”

"After it's over, call Li Ke by the way, and in addition, you can consult Li Ke's opinion about Li Yuanjia's reward." Li Shimin said, "Besides...... Let Changle go and see him, I am not suitable to come forward at this time. ”

"Yes."

With Li Shimin's edict, the news of Li Yuanjia's sacrifice as a martyr quickly spread throughout the court and all the clans, and the news can be said to have shocked everyone, the Tang Dynasty died of a prince, but in such a way, in an unprecedented way.

Everyone's senses are very strange, at least for most people, they don't care what they look like, but in their hearts they will definitely feel worthless, for the sake of a common people's child, a prince died.

This is the prince! O nobles! At least that's what most of the aristocracy must have thought in their hearts.

Maybe Li Yuanjia's family thinks the same way.

But things have happened, no one will say this kind of thing no matter what they think in their hearts, and Li Shimin's edict was also issued in a very timely manner, and the three thousand imperial forest troops set off on horseback for the first time to return to Longxiang, with this weather, the body can not be put away for too long, and it is impossible to find ice cubes in the local area.

Therefore, it is not realistic to let the family meet in person.

After receiving Chang Lin's notice, although she was shocked by the news, compared to the very unfamiliar Eleventh Uncle, Changle was naturally more worried about her third brother, she was deeply afraid that the third brother would be in a state of collapse from now on, so high-spirited third brother.

When Changle arrived at Qinwangzhuang, Li Ke was indeed a little unthinking, sitting alone by the lake in Qinwangzhuang, and he didn't know when the fishing rod placed next to him was dragged into the pond by the fish.

Yang Anning in the distance, they all looked at it with worried faces.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness Princess Changle." Several people hurriedly saluted when they saw Changle.

"A few sisters-in-law are exempt, Changle has seen a few sisters-in-law, what about the third sister-in-law?" Changle said softly.

"In Yamen, this time is not a rest time, and the princess probably won't be able to come back." Yang Anning said softly.

"Third brother, how is it?" Changle hesitated and asked.

"It's a bit of a distraction, it's been like this since he got the news, obviously he blames himself." Yang Anning said softly.

"I'll take a look." Changle said softly.

Yang Anning and the others all nodded and did not follow.

Changle bit her lip and then walked to her third brother, to be honest, she didn't know how to persuade the third brother, if it was a child, she would still be a coquette, I don't know why her father asked her to come instead of Jinyang.

"Third brother." Walking to Li Ke's side, Li Ke, who was obviously in deep thought, didn't notice her arrival, and Changle had to shout.

Li Ke raised his head and saw Changle, and instantly understood her intention, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sit, the third brother is fine." ”

"Third brother, you're not in a state of being fine." Changle said softly.

"Well, it's a little hard to accept, although I have always told them that as a Datang soldier, the biggest responsibility is to protect Datang and protect the people of Datang. But when someone died because of me, I still felt an unspeakable grief, and I realized that this matter was not so easy. ”

"Don't persuade others to be kind without their suffering. Others will never be able to feel the grief of their relatives, and I am thinking about how painful their parents should be for those Tang soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. And a lot of them just because of my words. Li Ke sighed and said.

"Third brother, if it weren't for you, there would have been more people killed in Datang's foreign wars! Whether it is facing Tubo, the Western Regions, or Xue Yantuo in the future, some battles must be fought, and there are no immortals in war. Changle said categorically.

"Even I, who became a soldier halfway, understand, the third brother who presided over the reform of the Tang military system, you must know better than me."

"Yes, everyone understands the truth, but how many people can not be affected by emotions? You said that if it weren't for me, Uncle Eleven would have lived to be seventy or eighty years old, with a full house of children and grandchildren. Li Ke smiled bitterly.

"Third brother, you're joking, how can anyone predict their fate, maybe this is the fate of Uncle Eleven." Changle said seriously.

Hearing Changle's words, Li Ke didn't feel comforted, but just smiled bitterly again, the question ...... He really can. If he hadn't known that Li Yuanjia could live to be seventy years old in the future, and didn't know these news, Li Ke might not have been so uncomfortable.
