Text 861 Loulan Cemetery
Li Hong himself didn't know what he was doing this for, if he was really afraid that after he ascended the throne, his father and mother would force him to pardon Li Xian, he didn't care too much about it.
But it can't be said that he doesn't mind at all, after all, Li Xian was the second prince to compete with him for the throne back then, and because of his ambition, no one in the government and the opposition didn't know about this matter, even now, some people with a heart occasionally mention this matter.
How to deal with Li Xian is not a tricky problem, but it is not a simple matter either, put it back in Chang'an, it will be disgraceful on his face, how to deter others in the future? What's more, after he ascended the throne, this change of identity ...... It seems that there is a great difference from being a prince, keeping Li Xianzai Chang'an, and he doesn't seem to have a bright face for himself or the court.
Therefore, after thinking about it, before he ascended the throne, he had to put him in a place that could be regarded as expanding his territory, and he would be bound by Jiling City, so that he would never be able to go back, or it might be more in his own interests to return to Chang'an in a few years.
Li Zhe must have followed Li Hong back to Chang'an, and Li Xian has always sent Li Hong to Loulan City, and the slightly barren and lonely garden in front of him looks somewhat desolate.
There are a few mausoleum guards, because of the sudden arrival of Li Hong, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Zhe, the king of England, who have to kneel at the door of the cemetery tremblingly, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Where the hell is the eldest son? Li Zhe, you don't know? Li Hong was in the center, Li Xian and Li Zhe were on the left and right, and the three brothers walked slowly on the path in the cemetery.
Evergreen pines and cypresses are erected on both sides, at the end of the clean loess road that is cleaned, a shabby mausoleum stands alone not far away, the loess is somewhat new, obviously after the New Year, someone has come to pay respects.
"I don't know." Li Zhe spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said.
"It's like it's in Loulan City, after I died, it stands to reason that I should have taken care of it, but then the mess was mixed together, and I forgot about it, and I was a concubine all these years, even if I found them, I couldn't help anything, so I gave up looking for them." Li Xian stroked the somewhat cold tombstone, and more than a dozen auspicious beasts were scattered around the mausoleum in the shape of arch guards.
"If the boss has children, he probably ...... You're almost ten years old, right? Li Hong looked at the door of the underground corridor, and the things that had just been sacrificed looked like they had just been placed.
"Almost......."
"It's a pity that because of you, Li Zhong made a senseless sacrifice, and after his death, he was posthumously crowned King Yan, what's the use." Li Zhe walked around the mausoleum, and the wooden rooms of the mausoleum guards on one side were also simple and tidy, and it looked like there were female dependents...... "Brother Huang, look, there is a carriage over there, could it be ......?" Li Zhe was standing at an angle where he could see the place where the mausoleum keeper was staying from the gap between the rows of trees, and immediately shouted in surprise when he looked at a simple carriage.
"I saw it earlier, the loess on this road looked freshly paved, and the clear rut marks, and the footprints on both sides, at a glance, I knew that it was those mausoleum guards, escorting the carriage in. You go over and ask if it's the boss's family, and if so, don't scare people and be gentle. Before Li Hong finished speaking, Li Zhe had already raised a puff of dust and ran to the house where the mausoleum keeper lived.
Li Xian put down the clod of soil in his hand, and said with a reluctant threat in his mouth: "There is a kind of you don't run so fast!" ”
"You said that I arranged the boss's family in Chang'an City, will my father and mother have any opinions?" Li Hong didn't care whether there was still dust on the auspicious beast in front of the mausoleum, sat on the head of the beast, looked at Li Xian, who was sitting on the head of the other beast, and asked.
"I don't know if my father and mother have any opinions, but can I have an opinion?" Li Xian touched the cold beast head with one hand, and rushed to Li Zhong's cemetery early in the morning, obviously Li Hong had already known that someone would come to pay tribute to the boss today.
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Li Xian shook his upper body, squinted his eyes and glanced at the sun gradually rising in the east, sighed and said: "The boss's family was arranged by you to return to Chang'an, so that the family members of the royal family will be disposed of as a precedent, Fang Muqing and my two children, I'm afraid that I will be the same as the boss and his family, and I will never see him again, right?" The only difference is that I was buried by you in the cemetery that is not a cemetery in Jiling City, and the boss has really been lying in the loess mound for many years. ”
"The eldest is a concubine, and the father and mother don't care at all, if I agree now to move the boss's mausoleum back to the Central Plains, where do you let me place him? Buried in his father's tomb? Do you think Father would agree now? It's not just a matter of moving the boss's family back to Chang'an to see the reaction of his father, and then let's see how the situation should be handled. Li Hong understood what Li Xian meant, and until now, he still felt that after he put him in Jiling City, he would never let him return to Chang'an, and he would not even let him see Fang Muqing again.
"That being said, what about me? Old Five, if you tell me the truth, will I be able to return to the royal family in the future? Fang Muqing and those two children, what are you going to do? Will you be treated like the boss's family in the future? ”
"And what do you want?"
"I want to reunite with them, I want Fang Muqing to accompany me, I've long been fed up with the snowy days in Bazhou over the years, alone and facing the cold four walls, and there is no one who wants to warm the quilt at night, let alone someone to talk to me about digging out my heart. The winter of a year here is longer than the sum of the ten years of Chang'an, although there are still a few subordinates in the house, but those are subordinates after all, what can they say? I've been wandering alone all these years, sometimes I really miss Fang Muqing's warm quilt, even in the most difficult time, as long as I go to the kang at night and hug her in my arms, I can leave all my troubles behind. Li Xian looked nostalgic, looking at the far east, and sighed in the direction of the prosperous and rich Chang'an City.
"Say yourself so pitiful? I've heard that Li Zhe has come here twice, and he has sent no less than ten bearded girls to your house, can't they give you a warm bed? Do you have your arms around them...... Don't say that you are so pitiful, Fang Muqing is indeed good, gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, and has helped you take care of your two children over the years, but do you want Fang Muqing to accompany you to Jiling City? Don't think about your two sons, even if I want them to come over, the father and the queen mother may not agree. Li Hong looked into the distance, and under the leadership of Li Zhe, a girl in a plain dress and skirt led a boy about ten years old, looking nervous.
Behind Li Zhe and the three of them, there were those mausoleum guards who were far away, with expressionless faces, wooden eyes, and some fear looking at the backs of Li Zhe and the young woman, and slowly walked towards His Royal Highness the Prince.
"I'm also a man, I also have needs, Fang Muqing is not here, can't I always ...... You can't always use five girls, right? But then again, Orchid is an Orchid after all, or not as comfortable as his wife, how can the calmness and warmth of holding Fang Muqing be compared to Orchid? Besides, I never let them spend the night in my bed, so when I woke up, it was cold and cold in the bed. Li Zhe narrowed his eyes and looked at the boy next to the young woman who was hiding in the back.
But before he could speak, the girl had a cold face, trembling lips and said, "If the two nobles come to mourn my husband, I welcome it, but if the two nobles sit on the head of this auspicious beast and say some inconsequential words in their mouths, then the little woman also hopes that the two nobles can give my husband some face and leave here to say those words again." ”
"I ......." Li Xian didn't expect that Li Zhong's widow was still a fierce person, and she didn't salute when she saw the fifth child, but she reprimanded herself and the fifth child first.
Although the two of them sat on the head of the auspicious beast and said that it was a little disrespectful to say orchids, but as the fifth child, it would not be so reprimanded by the family.
"Yes, yes, it's not good for us, but it makes my sister-in-law laugh. But...... The eldest was also interested in orchids for a while during his lifetime, so we ....... ”
"The little woman said goodbye, and asked a few nobles to leave quickly, although my husband died, he would not let a few nobles be so humiliated." Although the young woman lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Hong and Li Xian, the words in her mouth were still extremely sharp.
Li Hong's old face finally began to look a little embarrassed, this sister-in-law herself called out first, and now people reprimanded herself and others, but it was reasonable, even if she wanted to put on a score, it was too late.
"Sister-in-law, don't pay attention to them, they are that virtue, since you admit that you are the wife of King Yan, then this child's admission is King Yan's ......." Li Zhe looked at Li Hong, who touched his nose and had nothing to say, and then looked at the other Li Xian, who only had one hand and was holding the head of the auspicious beast and looking at it carefully, so he had to excuse Li Hong and the two.
"People are dead, don't you spare even innocent children? And what does he know? He was still in his infancy when the accident happened, and he didn't know anything. Even in Loulan, who still knows us, just an ordinary person, can't they let us go and let us live this life in peace? The young woman finally raised her head, with a trace of trepidation and anxiety on her delicate face, and tightly held the boy in front of her, looking at Li Hong and the others vigilantly.
"The royal blood has never been lost to the people, if this is spread, it is not that the boss's face is dull, but that the entire royal family is ...... shameless."
"Then what did you do earlier, now that I have worked hard to raise an adult, you came here to grab it?" The young woman snapped Li Hong's words and asked nervously.
