In Chang'an in mid-spring, there is a sadness everywhere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Jing died, the military god of the Tang Dynasty died, his magnificent life was mentioned again, he pacified Xiao Miao, he pacified Lingnan, he pacified Fu Gongyi, he defeated the Turks, he expeditioned Tuyuhun, all of this is enough to make the people of Chang'an say for three days and three nights.

The rain in Chang'an has been falling, although it is not heavy, but it has not stopped.

The Weiguo Mansion has already set up a mourning hall, and Li Jing's family members are lined up on both sides, returning the salute to the guests who come and go to worship, and the red whisk girl cried very much.

For so many years, Li Jing has always been her reliance, and now that Li Jing has suddenly gone, she seems to have lost everything.

Li Decheng has come back from the army, he is also crying, in his father's last moments, he was not able to be by his side, he felt that he was very unfilial, Fang Ying persuaded him, persuaded and persuaded, and also cried.

Life always seems to be like this.

The guests came one after another, and it took two days for the guests to visit, and two days later, the Weiguo Mansion was ready to bury Li Jing's body for peace, but before it was buried for peace, many things needed to be done.

The first is the feast.

Huaxia pays attention to etiquette, regardless of red and white ceremonies, the banquet will definitely not run, but there are differences, happy events will naturally be more lively, this meal is also more, white things are relatively simple, only a big pot of rice on the day of the burial on the steamed buns, the first seven may be a little richer, but it also depends on the meaning of the Li family.

The big pot of rice is not easy to make, and it is more difficult to make delicious, although it is a white thing, but there are so many guests who come, and there are many people to help, this meal naturally has to pay attention to a little, there is only a big pot of dishes, if it is not delicious, it will definitely be criticized.

So before the burial, Li Decheng went to the Tang family manor, he wanted to invite Tang Zhou to cook, and wanted him to write a memorial text.

For this, Tang Zhou couldn't refuse no matter what.

In Tang Zhou's opinion, the most difficult thing in life to refuse help is probably this white thing, as long as he can, no one should refuse.

This is also a manifestation of the kindness of people's hearts.

In ordinary people's homes, if the elderly die in the family, the neighbors and friends around will send a little money, and the main purpose is naturally not a simple matter of etiquette, but no matter what, they hope that the funeral of the deceased can be carried out, and everyone will make up a little money, so that they will not be so difficult when holding the funeral.

And everyone has an old man, and everyone will die one day, and everyone goes back and forth like this, and there is a virtuous circle, so that you don't have to worry about not being able to enter the earth after you die.

Of course, a big family like Li Jing doesn't have to worry about this, and everyone rarely takes money, but only gifts.

Tang Zhou had no way to refuse, so he could only respond.

Early this morning, before dawn, Tang Zhou came to the Weiguo Mansion, at this time, the Weiguo Mansion was also lively, many people were preparing for today's funeral, after Tang Zhou came, he was immediately invited to the stove, Tang Zhou glanced at the ingredients, nodded with satisfaction, and then began to make it.

He had to cook two meals, one in the morning and one at noon.

The morning meal is mainly for those who come early to help, and the noon meal is for all the guests who come, relatively speaking, the amount of the lunch meal is very large.

It's not easy to make a big pot of rice taste good.

The first is that the soup must be rich and fragrant, and the fastest way to achieve this effect is to boil the bone broth.

Tang Zhou put the pork bones prepared before into the pot, and then boiled them over high heat, so that after the soup turned white, the pork bones were taken out, and then the meat was fried in another pot, and after it was fried, it was poured into the pot of bone broth, and then other ingredients and condiments were added constantly.

The resulting soup will be fragrant and even a little spicy, and for these guests who come to help, it will sometimes be better than those meals.

Today's task of Tang Zhou is to cook, as well as the funeral ceremony, although cooking seems simple, but in fact it is also tiring, Tang Zhou finished the morning, he just ate a bowl, and he has to prepare for the big pot of rice at noon.

There are too many people at noon, the ingredients must be prepared in advance, and then there is the soup, which needs more, so they can only start work early.

Fortunately, Tang Zhou still had a few helpers, so after solving the lunch meal, although he was tired, he was not so tired that he couldn't help himself.

After the guests have eaten, the next step is to be buried.

Li Jing is a hero of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin allowed him to accompany the burial of Zhaoling, Zhaoling is the mausoleum of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, under normal circumstances, the emperor will prepare a mausoleum for himself not long after he ascends the throne, Li Shimin is no exception, but Li Shimin has been dealing with state affairs in the first few years of his ascension to the throne, but he has no heart to take care of the mausoleum, until the Empress Changsun died of illness, he did not consider this matter, and ordered someone to build a Zhao Mausoleum in Jiuzhi Mountain, bury Empress Changsun, and also regard this place as his own tomb.

Since the beginning of the tenth year of Zhenguan to the current twenty-third year of Zhenguan, although the Zhaoling Tomb has been quite large-scale, the construction has not ended, but this does not affect Li Jing's funeral.

Being able to accompany the burial of Zhaoling can be said to be the glory of the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing's coffin was carried to Zhaoling by someone, everything was carried out according to the pre-design, Tang Zhou's sacrificial text was naturally in one of the columns, and when it was Tang Zhou's turn to read the sacrificial text, everyone turned their eyes over.

Everyone knows that Tang Zhou is very talented, so how will he write this sacrificial text?

Everyone looked over, and Tang Zhou said in a slightly passionate voice:

Zhou has Qi Taigong, Qin has Wang Qian, Han Xin, Zhao Chongguo, Geng Gong, Yu Xu, Duan Cheng, Wei has Sima Yi, Wu has Zhou Yu, Shu has Zhuge Wuhou, Jin has Yanghu, Du Gongkai, Liang has Wei Rui, Yuan Wei has Cui Hao, Zhou has Wei Xiaokuan, Sui has Yang Su, the national dynasty has Li Jing, such a person, at this time, its plans are archaeological school today, the mystery is long-term, the strategy is set in the inside, and the success is achieved outside............

Tang Zhou's sacrificial text is actually a bit long, but the later part mostly introduces Li Jing's exploits, which everyone knows, and everyone is more concerned about the previous paragraph.

Tang Zhou used Jiang Ziya, Wang Jian, Han Xin, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and other names of different dynasties to compare Li Jing with Li Jing, and compared Li Jing to the same position as them, this kind of praise is really rare in the world.

This paragraph is enough to make people understand Li Jing's contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and as for the latter ones, they are just supplementary explanations.

When Tang Zhou read it like this, Li Dexue and other descendants of Li Jing listened to tears, Tang Zhou's high evaluation of Li Jing was really a bit unexpected, and judging from the sacrificial text written by Tang Zhou, he seemed to know too much about Li Jing.
