Chapter 441: Memorial
A huge spiritual shed was built in the camp of Wuwei.
Two days ago, only the generals of the army came to bury the burials, but as time went on, the senior generals of the army that were besieging Luzhou also came from the garrison. Later, all the governors and other senior officials under Wuwei also came one by one. These people arrived at Huguan, naturally came and went in a hurry, but they all had one thing in common, that was, they entered the camp, knelt down to pay homage to Mrs. Wang's coffin, and then hurriedly embarked on the road back.
Although the emperor's chariot was close to Huguan ten miles away, none of these military generals and local governors entered Huguan.
Li Ze had been at Huguan for more than half a month, but he had not stepped into Huguan yet.
And there is one person who is the most embarrassing.
This person is Gao Lei, the governor of the Hezhong Jiezhong.
In the early days of the war, Gao Lei was a turtle-shaped turtle-shaped. He neither supported Xuanwu and Zhu Wen's rebellion, nor did he express any support to the emperor. Even when the emperor fled, he once advanced against the territory in the river. Gao Lei did not send a soldier or a soldier to support him and was loyal. There were no soldiers and horses, and there were no food and supplies.
But now the overall situation is settled. The Wuwei Hedong Alliance Army won a great victory in Zhaoyi. Whether it was the Wei Bo army, the Zhaoyi army, or Zhu Youzhen's Xuanwu army, they were all wrapped in the big pocket of Luzhou. Their destruction was only day and night. Gao Lei suddenly woke up from his sleep and rushed to Huguan with five thousand soldiers and horses, expressing his loyalty to the emperor.
Gao Lei also had his last resort! Because once Wuwei and Hedong joined forces to deal with Zhaoyi, he might have pointed his finger at him. Who made him perform poorly this time? No matter how many words he had, I am afraid that it would be of no use in front of Li Ze. If Li Ze was a reasoned person, could he have the huge territory today? What's more, if Li Ze wanted to deal with him, he could find out a lot of reasons this time.
He was a little afraid of Li Ze from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, the documents he sent troops were still written to the emperor, expressing his willingness to be the emperor's front pawn. Moreover, in order to arrive in Luzhou as soon as possible, he also led his troops to set off while the documents were issued.
It's better to come late than not.
At least you can make some achievements when you besiege Luzhou, and these faces are reasonable.
However, what Gao Lei never expected was that what he stepped in this time was a fire pit.
Xue Pingtian Lingzi and others who received the document were silent. After Gao Lei arrived at Huguan, they realized that the atmosphere here was extremely subtle. After learning all the truth, Gao Lei almost spit out an old blood. He just wanted to throw himself two times, which was the mouse that turned himself into a bellows.
But since you are here, you can't turn around and leave.
After going to Li Ze's camp to pay tribute to Mrs. Wang, he returned to his camp. Gao Lei fell ill immediately and was extremely ill and could not be in charge of the board. His five thousand troops were stationed on the spot, forming a triangle with Li Ze's camp and Huguan. No matter how Tian Lingzi and others warmly invited Gao Lei to Huguan to recuperate, he pretended to be sick.
What a joke? Entering Huguan at this time is equivalent to Gao telling Li Ze that His Majesty and I are a family, and I want to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
Even if the royal family is in the most difficult time at this time, if they vote, they will definitely be reused. However, Gao Lei weighs the pros and cons, he still thinks that it is better not to mess with Li Ze.
Not to mention anything else, Li Ze's army of more than 100,000 in Luzhou at this moment made everyone tremble.
Unlike Gao Lei, after Han Qi came, he immediately entered Huguan. Not only did he go in, he also brought thousands of cavalry from Han Rui in Le'an, and the eight thousand Zhao Yi soldiers adapted by Jin Shiyong, deputy general of Qin Zhao.
This has enabled the soldiers and horses in Huguan to reach the number of 5,000.
Although there were more soldiers and horses, Xue Ping and others did not feel relaxed at all, but instead felt heavier. Because as the number of soldiers and horses increased, the atmosphere of confrontation between the two sides seemed to be becoming stronger.
And Li Ze seemed to care about all this at all.
With Li Ze's father, Li Anguo, Prince of Zhending, and Xia He, Li Ze's side room, also arrived at the camp, and the atmosphere of memorial service reached its climax.
Li Anguo stood quietly in front of the coffin, pressing his hand on the lid, and his eyes showed a strong sense of sorrow.
The relationship between him and Mrs. Wang, as Li Ze said to him earlier, is typical of love but not getting it. In the end, hatred because of love and hatred because of love. Finally, it turned into birth but disappeared. When he saw each other, he had become a cold corpse.
Li Anguo has thought many times whether Mrs. Wang would appear in front of her coffin after her death and shed tears for herself, because after his body collapsed, he felt that he would not live long. However, Mrs. Wang's body has always been healthy.
But what I never expected was that Mrs. Wang actually left him first.
"Can I open the coffin and let me see her?" Li Anguo looked at Li Ze and asked in a low voice. Although he was a father, Li Anguo felt that he was not qualified to make decisions on the issue of Mrs. Wang. What's more, his son has always been strong.
Li Ze nodded silently.
Min Rou and Tu Lichun on the side walked over and pushed the lid open a crack.
Although she died of being stabbed, there was no pain on Mrs. Wang's face. After treatment, she was no different from falling asleep at this moment.
Lee Anguo burst into tears.
Xia He couldn't help but cry.
As soon as these two people cried, they immediately burst into tears in the entire mourning hall.
Li Anguo took out a bracelet from his arms, leaned over and put it in the coffin, "This was given to me by your mother back then. For twenty-five years, I have never left myself. Let it accompany your mother today!"
Li Ze knew the tragedy of his parents in this life. He really had nothing to say about his father. He just sighed that his mother had a miserable fate in this life. When he rose, he had not enjoyed a few years of blessings, but because of such an accident, his soul returned to the Pure Land.
As soon as I thought about this, I felt even more angry.
"Part the coffin!" Li Anguo waved his hand, walked to the side silently, and sat down. "Ze'er, where are you going to bury your mother? If you want, I want to bury her in the Li family tomb in Zhenzhou. Their Wang family tomb was destroyed by war many years ago."
The tomb of the Wang family was naturally not destroyed by war, but was flattened by the Su family after Li Anguo won that year. This is one of the reasons why Mrs. Wang hated Li Anguo so much in her life.
"Father, do you think your mother can get rest when she is buried in the tomb of the Li family?" Li Ze said coldly.
Li Anguo sighed without answering, and seemed to have known in his heart that such a result would be long ago.
"Where is the burial of your mother there?"
"Huguan is a good place. I have invited someone to visit. My mother has been a devoted Buddhist all her life. The Wanfo Temple in Huguan is an excellent place. It is buried here. Even if my mother is underground, she can still hear the sound of chanting scriptures, bells, drums, wooden fishes day and night, so she will not be too lonely." Li Ze said.
"It's good!" Li Anguo murmured.
The father and son were speechless, and only dozens of monks were singing the scriptures and the low sobs of women left in the entire spiritual shed.
Li Mi walked in, looked at Li Anguo, and whispered to Li Ze: "Jie Shuai, Xue Ping, Tian Lingzi, Han Qi and the others are here."
“Aren’t they here already?”
"The Crown Prince Li Ke is also here this time." Li Mi said.
Li Ze stood up with a sneer: "It's such a coincidence."
Li Anguo also stood up and said, "You go and welcome them. I'm tired. Go and rest for a while."
Li Ze nodded and signaled Min Rou to take Li Anguo to the rear for resettlement, but he himself strode out to greet him.
Crown Prince Li Ke is only eight years old this year. Unlike Li Ze who had done such a big thing quietly when he was eight years old, Li Ke was just a little boy who had just been confused and didn't understand the matter. At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of ministers and walked into the mourning hall, his face full of fear.
He didn't know the meaning of this trip.
"I have met Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The people and the Wuwei team, led by Li Ze, bowed to their tribute.
"The general is exempted from the gift." Li Ke waved his hands repeatedly.
"Thank you, Your Highness,"
"The father is in good health, and the mother needs to take care of the father, so I will pay homage to the old lady today instead of the father and mother. No, no, no, I am the first-class lady who protects the country." Li Ke said.
The servant Tian Lingzi, behind Li Ke, took a step forward and presented a scroll with both hands to Li Ze: "This is an edict written by His Majesty himself, and Wang was promoted to the wife of the country."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Li Ze took it over with a expressionless face and handed it to Li Mi behind him.
Seeing Li Ze take over the imperial edict, Xue Ping and Tian Lingzi both breathed a sigh of relief.
After Li Ke completed his personal memorial service, his mission was completed. Xue Ping walked to Li Ze and whispered: "General, we want to have a good talk with the general today. It just so happened that the Prince Zhending is also here."
"I don't want to talk about anything today." Li Ze flatly refused, "and my father has always been in poor health. After a long journey, he was overly sad. At this moment, he has already rested."
Seeing that Li Ze seemed to turn around and leave, Xue Ping was anxious that he could enter the camp today, and tomorrow, he would have to say whether he could see Li Ke.
He grabbed Li Ze's sleeve and he unconsciously raised his voice: "General, we can wait. We are here to keep a watch on the old lady."
"I dare not work hard." Li Ze shook his head and said, "And the crown prince is here, and the king is guarding the ministers, and the etiquette is not up to par with him. Mr. Xue, please come back."
Han Qi, behind Li Ke, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "General, this is your fault. We all feel sad and regretful about the death of the old lady, but it is the duty of every minister to be loyal to the king. Why is the general worried about it? Even though the death of the old lady is a pity, it will also bring you the supreme glory for Li."
Li Ze looked up at Han Qi, but his eyes narrowed.
Xue Ping was shocked and blocked Li Ze and Han Qi. He knew Li Ze much more than Han Qi. He knew Li Ze at this moment, but he was afraid he was already angry.
Chapter completed!
