A few days later, Yangzhou City.

As Li Shentong's eldest son, Li Daoyan knelt outside the door wearing heavy filial piety, and there was no mourning hall here, which was Li Shentong's last order.

When Liu Mu arrived, several young people dressed in heavy filial piety jumped up.

"Kneel down!" Li Daoyan let out a low snort, and several young people were still standing. saw Li Shentong's second son, Li Xiaocha, who was kneeling behind Li Daoyan, get up and give everyone a kick and kicked the young people to the ground.

When Yanagi came to the door, a young man came up to Yanagi and handed a letter with both hands.

"My family Langjun dictated."

After Liu Mu took it, it was written with Li Shentong's last words, and he especially recommended one person, that is, Jiang Ke, the young man who handed the letter to Liu Mu at this time, this is the most outstanding person among Li Shentong's strategists.

Descendants of Jiang Wei of the former Shu Han.

Liu Mu put the letter in his arms and came to Li Daoyan's side: "Brother Wang, come with me." ”

Without saying a word, Li Daoyan followed Liu Mu to the house, and there was saltpeter ice in the house to lower the temperature and keep Li Shentong's body open. After Liu Mu knelt on the ground and bowed, he said to Li Daoyan: "Uncle Huang has a top-secret official document on him, which is related to the rise and fall of my Tang Dynasty in the next ten years. ”

Li Daoyan never expected that there would be such a reason.

In this way, the reason why his father asked not to clean his body, not to change his clothes, and not to enter the coffin is clear, and when this official document is not sure of safety, no one is allowed to touch it.

The eldest grandson Wuji came one step late, and when he came, he was followed by a hundred elite guards.

This was given to him by Li Shimin when he left Chang'an, a total of 200 people, and the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army was transferred.

Only thirty of these people went to Wadao with the eldest grandson Wuji, and the rest of the people stayed here and there was no arrangement, and at this time the eldest grandson Wuji transferred a hundred people over.

The eldest grandson Wuji, like Liu Mu, gave a heavy salute to Li Shentong's corpse.

"Uncle Guo, that official document King Jiaodong will guarantee his safety, and King Jiaodong is also a heroic general."

As soon as Liu Mu said this, a sense of responsibility rose in Li Daoyan's heart, and there was no need to open his mouth to promise, but anyone who wanted to get this official document had to step on his corpse first.

The eldest grandson Wuji was convinced in his heart.

It is definitely not luck that Liu Mu can get on the throne, in addition to being a strategic genius, he is stronger than himself in people's hearts. Liu Mu's words made Li Daoyan grateful from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time made Li Daoyan proud.

The idea didn't look at Li Daoyan cutting through Li Shentong's clothes to find the official document, but walked outside.

What is there to distrust.

Li Daoyan is a royal clan, he is very reliable, and with the death of Li Shentong, he will definitely protect this official document, and when he arrives in Chang'an, this is also a bargaining chip for Li Shentong to be posthumously sealed.

After Liu Mu came outside, he saw Dugu Lanruo.

Orphan Lan Ruo is pregnant, so she can't enter the mourning hall, but she has prepared filial piety clothes, Li Shentong is Dugu Lanruo's imperial uncle from the genealogy of the clan, and this filial piety must be worn.

With the help of the two maids, Liu Mu changed into filial piety clothes.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Shentong was put into a very ordinary coffin, and the torn clothes on his body had not been changed.

Liu Mu and the eldest grandson Wuji participated in the support of the spirit, and then put the coffin directly on the ship, and went to Chang'an on the same day.

Li Daoyan just explained the reason to Li Xiaocha, and he didn't open his mouth to explain the rest of the people, and he didn't want to explain. Only he and Li Xiaocha were born to his wife, and the rest were concubines, so there is no need to explain.

These people crying for the spirit map may not be true filial piety, which is also what Li Daoyan does not like.

Whoever dares to make trouble again, he let Li Xiaocha beat him hard.

In fact, Li Daoyan is very grateful to Liu Mu, and by letting himself protect this official document, after entering Chang'an, the imperial court will definitely give an overflow, and then give a good posthumous seal.

Half a month later, Chang'an City.

Li Shimin got the Khan golden knife presented by Yi Nan and had not yet started to celebrate, when he saw Fang Xuanling entering the palace in plain clothes.

"This ......" Li Shimin didn't understand how Fang Xuanling suddenly put on a plain clothes.

"Sage, Tongguan urgently, there is an official ship on the canal hanging Bai Ling is coming to Chang'an, there is the flag of Liu Juma on the boat, there is the flag of the eldest grandson of the uncle, and the flag of Li Daoyan, the king of Jiaodong, and the flag of Li Xiaocha, the king of Gaomi. The fleet did not stop at Tongguan, and traveled to Chang'an day and night. ”

After Fang Xuanling reported, he thought about it and said, "It may be, King Zhun An." ”

Li Shimin stood there for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.

Fang Xuanling reminded again: "Sage, it is estimated that tomorrow, the fleet will definitely stop for a short time in Weishui South, and then send someone to report, but I can't think of why I am in such a hurry to return to Chang'an. ”

As he spoke, someone rushed in with paperwork.

"Sage, Huazhou six hundred miles urgent."

Fang Xuanling took it in the past, opened it and said to Li Shimin: "The saint is the king of Zhun'an. The ship carried a confidential document related to the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty, so it was not stopped, and it was expected to arrive in Chang'an tomorrow afternoon, and ask the sage to decide. ”

Li Shimin only thought for a moment: "You go and tell Zong Zhengqing to go out, and I will tell the Emperor Taishang." ”

"Sage, Zong Zhengqing is the younger brother of King Zhun'an. King Zheng died early, and Li Shenfu spent his life with his brother Li Shentong at a young age, and the minister was worried that Zong Zhengqing would not be able to stand the bad news. ”

"Then ......, ask Li Daozong to greet you." Li Shimin changed his orders.

The next day, on the pier.

As Fang Xuanling predicted, Li Shenfu cried and fainted several times, although his Li Shentong was a brother, he was raised by his brother, and his feelings were deeper than ordinary brothers.

Even Li Yuan was crying and almost lost his breath.

A princely funeral is not ordinary, it requires a very complicated process, and it also requires the selection of a date.

Li Shimin issued an edict to give Chang'an Su three days, three days of forbidden music, accompany the funeral and sacrifice the tomb, and seal Sima ......

Three days later, the former prince's mansion is now the chief envoy of Liumu. Intermediate Court.

The front yard of the General Office is the office space, which in fact occupies only one-fifth of the entire Prince's Mansion, and the main ones here are the secret vault, the account library, the confidential database, and the general ledger room.

The former prince's court, where the staff of the General Department of Shipping worked, worked.

At present, there are more and more people in the general office, and dozens of people need to copy, sort, and file every day just to sort out the information.

The middle courtyard is a small garden, as well as the Prince's Mansion Jiade Hall. It is now a reception area for willow wood, and it is named Wentenkaku. The backyard occupies more than half of the place, which is Liu Mu's home in Chang'an.

This time, the one who came back with Liu Mu was one of them.

Wentian Pavilion is qualified to sit here, which can basically be said to be the decision-maker group of Datang and several parties.
