Footsteps hurriedly sounded behind him, and Li Hong slowly walked out of the middle room to the front room, as the front room of the underground palace, it was more like a court like the Xuanzheng Palace.

The front room is set up with treasure tents, divine seats, and jade treasures, books, mourning books, etc., and the entire front room is completely built in accordance with the court, fortunately, no one will go to these divine seats now, except for Li Hong.

Xianyang County Commander took the county Cheng respectfully into the front room, and looking at the picture in front of him, his heart began to beat violently.

In addition to the two of them here, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his personal eunuch who has followed him for many years, so if the scene in the front room of the underground palace today is known by others, needless to say, it is naturally the result of one of the two of them leaking the news.

"You accompanied Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi here two days ago?" Li Hong asked leisurely.

Xianyang County Cheng bowed his head and saluted, his whole body was trembling, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who dared to sit on the throne, was the first time he heard of it, and the first time he saw it, but don't forget, even if it is silent and uninhabited, these thrones are also with a certain majesty, and no one is allowed to desecrate, even if it is a craftsman, it is necessary to carry out a ceremony before this underground palace can be built.

But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sitting on the throne so casually, and he is faintly afraid in his heart, after leaving the underground palace today, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kill him and the county commander.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, he was accompanied by the minister." Xianyang County Cheng's voice was trembling, and the whole person bowed down, refusing to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the throne of God.

Li Hong naturally didn't understand Xianyang County's thoughts, and after glancing at the county order a little strangely, he then asked, "What did they say when they came to supervise?" Tell me word for word, and if there is any concealment or omission, be careful that I remove you. ”

The system of living burial has been banned since the Han Dynasty, although it still exists in foreign countries, but in the Central Plains, especially in the Han and Tang dynasties, it is mainly to accompany the funeral, that is, let the dignitaries, or the royal relatives who were close to the emperor during their lifetime, be buried around the imperial tomb after death.

Just like the imperial tomb of the first emperor Li Shimin, the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, including other dignitaries and royal relatives, are proud to be buried in the Zhaoling Tomb after death.

In addition to the representative officials of the Guanlong Group headed by the eldest grandson Wuji, who were buried in the Zhaoling Mausoleum, the rest of the famous ministers and generals during Li Zhi's reign as emperor will be selected to be buried in the Qianling Tomb after death under the screening of Taichang Temple and Zongzheng Temple.

These are basically the system of the Tang Emperor's Mausoleum under the rule of Li Zhi now, but even if it is such a humane and high-standard treatment of virtuous ministers, some people still feel that the majesty of the emperor is too simple.

Therefore, Taichang Temple Cheng and Zongzheng Temple Cheng, when supervising this luxurious and even extravagant Qianling, they began to play the idea of the palace people, looking at such a magnificent mausoleum, they obviously wanted to deepen the authority and dignity of the emperor after his death, and then proposed that after the emperor's death, dozens of palace people in front of the emperor were selected to be martyred.

"Are you telling the truth?" Li Hong's voice was extremely solemn in the deep underground palace, and Xianyang County Cheng's legs began to bend unconsciously.

"What the minister said is true, but the minister doesn't know if they will do this, but he accompanied them to this time, and when he heard them mention it, the minister didn't say a word, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find out." Chengdu of Xianyang County was about to cry.

He is not unaware of the prestige of His Royal Highness the Prince, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a person who cuts off his head when he disagrees, but he has done a lot of dismissal and dismissal, or exile and distribution are also occasional.

Li Hong's brows furrowed even tighter, what did these people think, how could they figure out such a cruel and inhumane and sinister funeral system!

"You don't have to tell anyone about today's events, go down." Li Hong sat on the throne of the gods, holding his chin with one hand and said.

"Yes, Your Highness, the minister retires." As soon as the Xianyang County Commander took two steps, he heard a pop behind him.

The Xianyang County Commander, who hurriedly turned around, saw his subordinates suddenly kneeling on the ground, grabbing their legs, trembling and trying to stand up.

"Help him out." Li Hong said lightly, but in this big underground palace, any soothing voice sounded like a resentful taste.

"Yes, Your Highness." The Xianyang County Order, who had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, hurriedly pulled his arms, and even dragged the two people who dragged them, and walked out in embarrassment.

Hua Meng watched the figures of the two walk away, suddenly walked up to Li Hong and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the slave maid is willing to be buried in Your Majesty according to the proposal of Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi, and the slave maid thinks that all the palace people will be willing to ......." ”

"Bang"!

Li Hong kicked hard and kicked Hua Meng's face hard, Hua Meng's eyes instantly appeared with countless gold stars, and the whole person followed the strength of His Royal Highness the Prince's feet and crashed into the opposite divine seat.

With a bang, the entire jade throne was knocked back by Hua Meng's bowed body, and it moved back several points.

Hua Meng, who was bent on the cat's waist, just stood up, and before he could speak, he saw a vague figure flashing in front of him, and his chin was firm, as if he had made intimate contact with a stone.

Then the whole person flew out again, and his forehead instantly touched the armrest of another divine seat, and warm blood poured out of his forehead in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Hua Meng felt that half of his cheeks were hot.

The drowsy head couldn't instantly recover his body consciousness, and he couldn't grasp the balance, and his conditioned hands struggled to support his body, but before he could support half of his body, His Royal Highness the Prince's feet had already stepped on his face.

"Hua Meng, let me tell you, if you dare to speak like this, I will abolish you now! Buried by the living, do you still have a little humanity? The palace people recruited you to provoke you, and you need to be buried for a dead person? What the first emperor never did, do you want your father to disgrace the entire royal family because of this? You want the Tang royal family to bear the charge of brutality in history! Something that bullshit doesn't understand, if you dare to talk like this, I'll kill you right now! Li Hong stepped on Hua Meng's face, his voice cold and full of indignation.

After Hua Meng moved Li Hong's feet away from his face, he closed his eyes and held his chin with one hand, and suddenly pushed hard, only to hear a click, and then moved his chin, and then panted and continued to stubbornly say: "The slave knows, but the slave only lives for His Highness!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't die before you. After returning to Chang'an, he immediately investigated whether Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi had any grievances with the palace people recently, and asked the officials to send the information of these two people to the East Palace. Li Hong walked out without looking back, and a buzzing sound echoed in the corridor.

Hua Meng struggled from the ground and continued to stroke his chin, the thick fishy blood in his mouth couldn't spit out in this majestic place, so he had to swallow it with difficulty and swallow the blood back into his stomach.

Li Hong, who walked out of the underground palace, regained a warm smile on his face, looked at the officials at the door with a smile, and then patted the shoulder of the Xianyang County Commander and signaled to return to Xianyang.

Along the way, Li Hong has been speculating about Daddy Long's indignant appearance in the East Palace yesterday, he doesn't believe that Daddy Long will agree to such a cruel and inhumane thing as the burial of the living, in history, even the queen mother has never done it, will Daddy Long do this because of the bewitchment of the two people?

So, why does the dragon father want to find himself in a hurry? With a face of complaint and unwillingness, is it because he will be wrong, or is it because of the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty now, he is so fluttering that he thinks that he has enough qualifications to do this kind of unreasonable thing?

Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi, Li Hong didn't have any impression, but as Zongzheng Temple and Taichang Temple, could it be that their father instructed them? Or is it just their own thoughts?

But no matter what, whether it is the intention of his father, or the bewitchment of Hou Sizhi and Wang Hongyi, this kind of thing will never let it happen!

After arriving at Xianyang County, Xianyang County Commander and County Cheng had just been nervous and wanted to ask Li Hong to get off the carriage, when he heard Li Hong's slightly cold voice coming from the carriage: "No need, I want to go back to Chang'an directly and change horses and prepare grass." ”

Hua Meng hurriedly got down from the wheel, and regardless of the Xianyang County Commander and the County Cheng who stayed in place, he hurriedly picked out two good horses that had endurance at a glance, and began to get busy with the others.

Xianyang County Ling and County Cheng, looking at the swollen chin of Hua Meng, who was indifferent, didn't even dare to think about what happened in the underground palace after they walked out of the underground palace.

Wu Mei looked at the two pieces of music from Taichang Temple and Zongzheng Temple on the table in the study, picked up the music and was about to go out to question Li Zhi, who was teasing the emperor and grandson outside, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she put down the music and prepared to go out, but after walking to the door, her eyes fell back to the music again.

So, Wu Mei, who shook her head helplessly, had no choice but to walk to the desk again, pick up the two pieces and then walk out of the study.

I haven't received the recital for a long time.,Only occasionally will I receive some recitals from the nine temples and five eunuchs about the palace.,Or the royal family.,If it's not for her to be bored today.,Pick up the recital and flip through it.,I can't see these two scary recitals.。

Wu Mei, who was sitting opposite Li Zhi, took Li Ye from Li Zhi's arms, and then handed it to the palace maid and said, "Send it back to the East Palace, and everyone else will go down." ”

When only the two of them were left in the entire warm hall, Wu Mei slowly put the piece that had just been placed on the side of the sofa on the table.

"You're going to agree?"

"Who said that?"

"Then why are you still here? Why don't you ask the two of them? ”

"What do we care about the prince of the country?"

"Yesterday, Li Hong walked to the window, was it because of this incident?"

"I don't know if it's not, I didn't tell him, let him check it himself."

"It's redundant!"
