After the wake, it was Li Shimin's funeral. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And many people are waiting for Li Shimin's funeral.

Because when Li Shimin was buried, according to Li Shimin's edict, those concubines who did not give birth to heirs for him were to be buried, and this burial could be used by many people to make a fuss.

In the eyes of Li Tai, the king of Wei, and others, as long as the crown prince Li Zhi adheres to Li Shimin's edict, then he is a cruel king, and many people want to crusade against him, as long as Li Zhi is crusaded, it will be good for them.

Therefore, they are actually looking forward to Li Shimin's funeral.

And just before the funeral, the funeral began to spread inside and outside Chang'an City, because the time of the funeral was getting closer and closer, so the scholars of Chang'an became more and more crazy, they walked out of Chang'an City, and then came to Cuiwei Palace.

They opposed the burial, and they demanded that Li Zhi cancel the burial.

Seeing this, Li Tai, the king of Wei, showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, this is exactly what he wants, in his opinion, Li Zhi, the emperor, has just sat down, and he is not stable at all, does he dare to disobey the edict of their father?

He didn't dare, but if he didn't dare to disobey, it would be against the scholars and people of the entire Tang Dynasty, an emperor was against so many people, how could he win the hearts of the people, and how would he govern the Tang Dynasty?

The people made trouble, and Li Zhi summoned the ministers in Cuiwei Palace, and everyone was a little nervous on their faces.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my father has issued an edict to bury the concubines and talented people who have no heirs left in the palace, but my scholars in the Tang Dynasty feel that it is so inhumane, what do you think Aiqing?"

After Li Zhi finished speaking, the ministers looked at each other, and then someone stood up.

"Saint, since it is the edict of the first emperor, then we should obey it, otherwise how can we explain it to the saint."

"Yes, Holy Lord, the minister thinks it should be obeyed."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

There is no shortage of people in the court who support Li Shimin, in their opinion, the lives of those concubines have nothing to do with them, since Li Shimin wants to be martyred, then the funeral is good, so it is not bad to get the name of a loyal minister.

It's just that as soon as they finished speaking, some others stood up against it.

"Saint, although it is the edict of the first emperor, but this move is absolutely impossible, using a living person to bury it has rarely been used since the Qin and Han dynasties, the first emperor is famous, how can he do such a thing?"

"Yes, this decision was made by the emperor when he was sick, presumably the emperor was also a little confused, but we as courtiers can't be confused, we can't let the first emperor's reputation be ruined because of this."

"Yes, the minister is resolutely opposed to the burial of living people."

"The minister is also against it."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

At any time, there will be people with different opinions in the DPRK and China, and Li Zhi naturally doesn't want to see the funeral happen, but what should he do now?

This matter is supported by the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, if he opposes it, wouldn't he want to make trouble with the two of them?

Although Li Shimin died, the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang had promised Li Shimin before, and naturally they couldn't go back on their word at this time, so even though the two of them knew very well that doing so would make Li Zhi embarrassed for a while, they still insisted on doing what Li Shimin said.

Li Zhi looked at the ministers who were talking, and finally looked at Tang Zhou helplessly, which is why he appointed Tang Zhou Wei Shangshuling.

Above the entire court, although the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang are the ministers of Tuogu, they do not have a relationship with themselves, he wants to make a difference in the court, and control the absolute power, he must have his own talents, Tang Zhou is completely in line with such a condition, because when necessary, Tang Zhou can stand up to help him.

And judging from Tang Zhou's previous achievements, his words carry a lot of weight.

Seeing Li Zhi glaring at him, Tang Zhou pondered for a moment and said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that what the ministers said is reasonable, the funeral is the edict of the first emperor, and it should be supported, but if it is really martyred, it will inevitably make people think that my Tang Dynasty is bloody and barbaric, which not only chills the people, but also makes the surrounding countries suspect that our Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and it will damage the reputation of the saint in the last life, which is really difficult to decide." ”

After Tang Zhou finished speaking, although everyone heard from his words that he was biased towards the burial, he did not say that he did not support the burial, so it was very contradictory, Li Zhi was also a little anxious, and asked: "Then what should Tang Aiqing do about this?" ”

Tang Zhou groaned for a moment and said, "Holy Lord, if you don't listen to the destiny of heaven." ”

"Listen to the destiny of heaven, how to listen to the law?" Li Zhi knew that Tang Zhou was against the funeral, and as soon as he heard him say that he obeyed the mandate of heaven, he knew that Tang Zhou was playing ghost again, and he was overjoyed, and he wanted to see what Tang Zhou wanted to do.

Tang Zhou said: "I have a copper coin here, a total of twenty-three, I will throw it at will, if it is all positive, we will cancel the funeral, if it is not all positive, then we will continue to be martyred, everything is subject to the will of God, how?" ”

After hearing Tang Zhou say this method, Li Zhi's heart was suddenly shocked, the twenty-three copper coins were all positive, how could this be possible, the probability was too small, in this way, wouldn't it be a martyr?

But Li Zhi had expected that this might be Tang Zhou's trick, and felt that Tang Zhou might have a success early in the morning, and after glancing at Tang Zhou slightly, he became more and more sure of his thoughts, so although he was shocked in his heart, he did not express doubts.

At this time, when other people who supported the burial heard this, their hearts were overjoyed, and the two copper coins thrown down were not necessarily all positive, let alone twenty-three copper coins, and it seemed that the burial was certain.

So after Tang Zhou finished speaking, they immediately said: "Okay, just obey the mandate of heaven, twenty-three, the saint has been on the throne for twenty-three years, this is good." ”

"That's right, I also support it, just let it be fate."

Those who support the burial have expressed their support for Tang Zhou's proposal, and those who oppose it frowned, this is also too risky, twenty-three copper coins, how can they all be facing up, is this Tang Zhou in favor of the funeral, or not?

Everyone looked at each other and wanted to oppose it, but they were worried that after opposition, they gave those who supported the search a chance, so that although they took risks, they were at the mercy of God, and if they won, those who supported the burial would not be able to speak.

These people finally set their eyes on Li Zhi, Li Zhi looked a little nervous, and finally said: "Okay, just do what Tang Aiqing said, we will obey the destiny of heaven." ”

After saying this, everyone looked at Tang Zhou, although Tang Zhou was looked at by everyone, but he was very calm, he had a copper coin in his hand, and there was a wooden plate in front of him, he shook the copper coin back and forth in his hand, and then waved his hand to throw it down, and when the copper coin was thrown down, everyone held their breath, and their hearts were about to jump to their throats.

Soon, there was a sound of copper coins colliding, the copper coins rotated and collided back and forth on the wooden plate, and stopped one after another, everyone looked at the copper coins, but after all the copper coins stopped, everyone couldn't help but take a cold breath.

"This ...... How is this possible? ”
