It is rare for the emperor to attend the funeral of a courtier, unless this courtier is extremely important to the court, such as Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other humerus ministers, Li Shimin attended their funeral, and only ministers of this level are qualified to let the emperor come to pay their respects.

Since Li Zhi is here, it means that Li Hao is definitely qualified to be called the humerus minister of the Tang Dynasty, as soon as Li Zhi arrived, everyone saluted, and Li Zhi waved his hand solemnly to let them be flat.

Li Hong also specially stepped forward to salute Li Zhi, after all, he is the prince, the identity is different, Li Zhi has no time to talk to Li Hong for the time being, let him step aside first, and then he came to Li Hao's mourning hall, Xu You stepped forward and took three incense, lit it and bowed to Li Hao's statue three times, and then handed the incense to Li Zhi, Li Zhi actually wanted to light the incense in person, but he was the Ninety-Five, and he could not salute anyone, even if the dead were big, they were not as big as the emperor, at this time Li Zhi hated a little, why would he be the emperor, His good brother died, and he didn't even have a chance to bow to him.

Li Zhi personally stepped forward and inserted the incense into the incense burner, then walked up to Li Ping and said slowly: "The festival mourns and changes." ”

Li Ping led his sisters and children to salute together: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

Li Zhi slowly raised his head, because he felt his tear ducts surging, and he seemed to want to cry again, trying to force the tears back, and then turned around and said, "Read the eulogy!" ”

The eulogy was written in a bright yellow scroll, but it was not a holy decree, but it was just a middle decree, that is, Li Zhi's will written on the scroll with the holy decree, which was not approved by any department and did not have any legal effect.

Xu You unfolded the scroll and read it aloud: "The heavens descended heroes from the Tang Dynasty, Taizong gave words and poetry madness, fourteen pacified the plague, fifteen guarded the frontier, seventy thousand Hulu iron horsemen, three thousand Erlang were difficult to defeat, the king of Qin broke the array, and the young man was given the ......"

Li Zhi is not a great Confucian, naturally he can't write a brilliant eulogy, but this eulogy, he wrote it with his heart, starting from Li Hao's fourteen-year-old quelling the plague, listing all his achievements in this life, I really don't know it, I was shocked when I said it, a eulogy was read for a long time, unconsciously, Li Hao has made so many great achievements, and the most important thing is that Li Hao is only in his thirties, and he has made so many great achievements in his thirties, which is unimaginable.

After the eulogy was read, the audience was silent, and after a long time, Li Zhicai said slowly: "Although the life of the poet is short, he has done his best to the Tang Dynasty, and his achievements are outstanding, and he is ......."

Suddenly, a figure hurriedly ran in, everyone was stunned, and Li Zhi also stopped and looked at him in astonishment, because the person who came turned out to be Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui is the governor of Youzhou, in charge of the military and political power, his identity is extremely sensitive, and without the emperor's order, he must not leave his post without permission, otherwise it will be a big crime.

However, Xue Rengui did this, and actually met Li Zhi, which is like an employee in the company who hid and slept during work hours and happened to be seen by the boss.

Both of them were stunned, Xue Rengui then remembered, no wonder there were so many Jin Wuwei and Yulin Jun inside and outside the villa just now, it turned out that the emperor was here, he was anxious just now, and he didn't have time to think about it at all, but now he knows that it's over.

Everyone else also thinks so, Xue Rengui is finished, as the governor of a state, he actually left his post without permission, and was personally met by the emperor, it is estimated that he will die a miserable death.

"See the Emperor." Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment and then saluted Li Zhi.

"Flat." Li Zhi raised his hand, and then asked, "Xue Qing, why are you here?" ”

Xue Rengui bowed his head and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the poet madness and the courtiers are the same brothers, and when I learned that the poet maniac has passed away, the ministers ...... The minister was very sad in his heart, and came to mourn, and the minister knew that he was guilty, and asked the emperor to wait for the ministers to worship and then ask for responsibility. ”

Li Zhi was silent when he heard this, he could understand the anxiety and grief in Xue Rengui's heart, because he was in such a mood, he didn't want to ask Xue Rengui for this, Xue Rengui's personality, he also knew very well that he was loyal and pure, and he valued love and righteousness, just because he left his post without permission to come to Li Hao to offer condolences, which proved that he valued affection and righteousness, so he said lightly: "Leave after worshipping, stay more, don't take it as an example." ”

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Xue Rengui was extremely excited when he heard this.

Li Zhi took two steps back and asked Xue Rengui to go to the incense.

Xue Rengui went to offer incense to Li Hao, and then condolences to Li Hao's wife and children, he actually has a lot to say, but now that the emperor is here, it is inconvenient to say, and the emperor also said, let him leave after worshipping, so he turned around and left.

In fact, Li Zhi is not to blame, the reason why Li Zhi asked him to leave after worshipping and not stay longer is that he doesn't want too many people to know about Xue Rengui's unauthorized departure from his post, otherwise some people with intentions will know about it, and if he wants to impeach him, Li Zhi can't keep him if he wants to.

As for the officials present, how there is no problem with their heads, naturally they will not say it, after all, Li Zhidu forgave Xue Rengui on the spot, don't they understand what it means.

Looking at Xue Rengui leaving, Li Zhi sighed silently, there is a way to gather like things, people to divide into groups, from the people who came to attend the funeral, you can see what kind of person Li Hao is, first of all, most of the people Li Hao has made friends with are honest people, such as Wei Zheng, Xue Rengui, Ma Zhou, Sun Bowang, Qin Qiong, etc., these people are famous for their integrity.

Secondly, most of the people Li Hao made friends with were people who valued love and righteousness, and most of the generals who came this time were people who attached great importance to love and righteousness, especially Xue Rengui and Qin Qiong.

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Li Hao's spirit statue and said secretly: "Poet, the greatest luck in my life is to know you." ”

At this time, Li Hong, who was already seven years old, suddenly stepped forward and saluted Li Zhi: "Father, aunt ......."

Li Zhi hurriedly glared at him fiercely, and Li Hong hurriedly shut up, because Li Zhi knew that he was going to talk about Li Mingda, how could he say such a thing here.

Then Li Zhi took Li Hong's hand and said, "Let's go, go out for a walk with my father." With that, he walked out of the mourning hall.

Leaving everyone, Li Zhi asked Li Hong in a low voice, "What's wrong with my aunt?" ”

Li Hong said: "Master is gone, my aunt is sad, she cries in the house every day, and her eyes are swollen. ”

Li Zhi sighed gloomily when he heard this, it was really a bad fate.

At this time, Li Ping suddenly followed, walked in front of Li Zhi, and saluted Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, do you want to meet the princess?" ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Well, I'm tired of my wife leading the way." When there was no one around, he called Li Ping his wife.

"Don't dare to be, Your Majesty, please come with me." Li Ping bowed slightly, and took Li Zhi to the courtyard where Li Mingda lived.

On the way, Li Ping was worried, Li Hong was his son, because of Li Hao, he finally wanted to come over with Li Zhi and live by his side, now that Li Hao is gone, she is very afraid that Li Zhi will take Li Hong away, she wants to ask Li Zhi's thoughts, but she doesn't dare to ask.

It was almost time to arrive at the courtyard where Li Mingda lived, Li Ping knew that if he didn't ask, he would have no chance, so he finally mustered up the courage and asked: "Your Majesty, Hong'er is well-behaved and clever, stay by Princess Jinyang's side, make Princess Jinyang a lot happier, I don't know if the emperor can let Hong'er continue to stay in the mansion, and the concubine must find the best gentleman to teach him." ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but stop, turned his head to look at Li Hong, and Li Hong also turned his head to look at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi also began to think about it in his heart, when he let Li Hong go to Li Hao's mansion, it was to worry that Wu Meiniang would harm Li Hong, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it was actually not bad to let Li Hong continue to stay here, but out of selfishness, he was afraid that Li Hong would be wronged here, after all, it was in someone else's house, he still hoped that his son would follow him, which was a bit difficult.

So he asked Li Hong: "Hong'er, do you want to go back to the palace?" ”

Li Hong thought for a while and said: "Hong'er thinks it's good to live here with Mr., although Mr. is gone, but my wife is very good to Hong'er, better than Li Tu, my aunt is also good to Hong'er, and Brother Li Tu They also take good care of Hong'er, and they also take Hong'er to play and do farm work in the fields...... Hong'er loves it here. ”

Li Zhi was relieved when he heard this, nodded his head, and said, "Then you can continue to stay here." ”

Li Ping was so happy when she heard this, her son could stay by her side, she was naturally happy.

When he came to Li Mingda's room, Li Zhi knocked on the door, the door opened, and he saw Li Mingda standing behind the door with red and swollen eyes. ”

As soon as he heard the words of Brother Childish, Li Zhi's heart warmed for no reason, this is Li Mingda's special name for him, he hasn't heard it for many years, it feels so warm.

Li Mingda invited Li Zhi into the house, Li Zhi shook his head and said, "It's stuffy in the house, let's go out for a walk." ”

Li Mingda came out according to his words, Li Ping consciously retreated with Li Hong, and a group of Jin Wu guards guarded outside the courtyard, not letting anyone approach.

Li Ping took Li Hong back to the mourning hall, and suddenly saw a group of Yulin soldiers around a person in the courtyard, this is a woman in a black dress, wearing a hat, and the black veil hanging from the hat covers her face.

Li Ping didn't know her, but Turandot did, so he hurriedly ran to Li Ping's side and said eagerly: "Sister, this woman ...... The husband knows, so let Yulin Jun not do it. ”

Li Ping was puzzled: "How can I mobilize the Yulin Army." ”

At this time, Li Yuanzhong heard the words and said: "Since this woman is the old man of King Qiongnan, then I will ask." ”

Li Yuanzhong said and walked into the courtyard, hugged his fists at Hu Ke and said: "Who is Your Excellency, why did you mask yourself in black veil, carry weapons, and break into King Qiongnan's villa." ”

Hu Ke took off his hat and said lightly: "I am Li Hao's old man, and when I learned of his death, I came to worship." ”

Li Yuanzhong said: "Since you are the old man of King Qiongnan, of course you can worship, but please unload your blade first." ”

Hu Ke waved her hand, and the long sword pierced into the ground with the sheath, she hung the hat on the hilt of the sword, and then asked, "Can I go in now?" ”

Li Yuanzhong nodded and shouted: "Everyone disperse first and let her in." ”

All the Yulin troops retreated, but their tense posture did not change, because Hu Ke exuded a very dangerous aura from his body, which made them feel very uneasy.

Hu Ke strode into the mourning hall, looked at Li Hao's spirit statue, and suddenly the crystal light in his eyes shook, and tears flowed down.

Li Ping was shocked when he saw this: "Is this woman also a romantic debt owed by her husband outside?" ”
