As soon as Li Yuan's words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet, and the needles fell silently. Although the people in the hall were silent, the expression on their faces already represented their full surprise.

Li Yuan was the Supreme Emperor and the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Although he had given way to Li Shimin, he was still the king. If he died, he would still follow the emperor's funeral rituals.

"The Book of Rites: The King's System" says: "The emperor is buried in seven days."

After the funeral of emperors, they must be funerals. They will be suspended in the hall for seven days and will be worshipped by all officials and people. During these seven days, children must be accompanied by spirits in front of the coffin every day. However, the offspring of spirits is also given priority, that is, the offspring of spirits that are closest to the coffin must be from the eldest vein of the priest.

The prince of Yin Li Jiancheng and the prince of Qi Li Yuanji have died. Li Yuan's eldest lineage is naturally the emperor Li Shimin and the legitimate son Li Chengqian, the prince of Wei Li Tai and the king of Jin Li Zhi. If the etiquette is followed, Li Ke is just a concubine's son and is no longer a member of the funeral and accompanying spirits.

Usually, there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate, and the etiquette system cannot be destroyed. Li Kejue is not qualified to be a funeral, but now that Li Yuan has spoken, everything is different.

What Li Yuan said just now helped Li Shimin a lot. Li Yuan was the father of Li Shimin and the Supreme Emperor. His last wish at the end of his life must be respected by Li Shimin in terms of affection and etiquette.

The Li family won the world immediately, and they did not attach much importance to these so-called etiquette systems, not to mention that Li Ke was Li Shimin's beloved son, so it was not difficult to break an exception for Li Yuan's last wish.

Everyone was waiting for Li Shimin's answer, but Li Shimin had almost no hesitation. Li Shimin immediately replied: "My father has his life, Shimin should obey the leadership. If Mr. Dad leaves, Shimin will order the tiger head and Chengqian to guard the funeral for his father."

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the matter was settled. No one in the palace raised objections, and no one dared to raise objections. Li Ke and his legitimate son guarded the funeral for Li Yuan, and this was concluded.

As Li Shimin responded, the people in the hall were fine, but they were surprised. However, Li Chengqian and Li Tai looked extremely ugly. Their faces were not because Li Yuan was dying, but because of Li Yuan's will.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai, in terms of merit and reputation, were far inferior to Li Ke, and their literary and military strategies were also weaker. Compared with Li Ke, their biggest advantage was that they were the sons of Empress Changsun and the legitimate son of Li Shimin.

The Eastern Palace's crown prince, the establishment of legitimate and eldest son, and the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate can be described as a gap between Li Chengqian and Li Ke. However, according to Li Yuan's words, this gap seems to be less obvious than before.

The emperor's funeral is eye-catching, and many pairs of eyes are watching. The coffin is close to the emperor to guard the funeral. It was originally a privilege for the legitimate son, but now because of Li Yuan's death order, Li Ke is allowed to be with the legitimate son. How do others think about this? Is Li Ke also considered the legitimate son?

The emperor's funeral ceremony is solemn, and even so, what if the crown prince chooses to choose in the future? Today, the law of legitimate and illegitimate have been opened. The boundary between legitimate and illegitimate and illegitimate and illegitimate have begun to blur. It will be so easy to keep this rule in the future.

But at this time, Li Chengqian and Li Tai were not afraid to express their feelings in their hearts and were dissatisfied. Now anyone who spoke is very unfilial. Even Li Shimin could not bear this charge, let alone them.

After hearing Li Shimin's response, Li Yuan, who was lying on the sickbed, spoke again and asked Li Ke: "Tiger head, are you willing?"

Li Ke didn't care about Li Yuan's intention, but when Li Ke looked at the white-haired old man lying on the sickbed, he even pulled him at the last moment of his life. Only then did Li Ke realize that what he had said before was this.

The identity of Li Ke's son was the biggest stumbling block on his way to the East Palace, and it was also the most helpless thing for Li Ke. His bloodline was close and not easily brought closer by credit or favor. But now with Li Yuan's help on his deathbed, this problem is not that difficult.

"Grandfather is very much treated and his father is favored by him. This is Ke'er's blessing. Ke'er is grateful to him." Li Ke knelt on the ground again, tears burst out from his eyes, and he bowed down and bowed to worship.

After Li Yuan explained his words, his strength seemed to be exhausted all at once. Li Yuan's hands naturally drooped and landed on the edge of the bed. His cheeks were loose, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

On the last moment of death, Li Yuan's eyes widened and he saw it in a flash. Li Yuan seemed to see the scene of his life: Shooting Que Ping married his wife, beloved wife gave birth to a child, Taiyuan raised an army, Chang'an became emperor, Xuanwu Gate Incident... mixed joys and sorrows.

At this time, Li Yuan was already in the evening and his strength had been exhausted. Li Yuan used all his strength, and seemed to be muttering something in his mouth. His mouth was grumbled with difficulty, making a vague sound from his throat. No one else could hear it clearly, and he didn't know what Li Yuan was saying. But Li Ke raised his head, looked at Li Yuan's mouth, and listened to the blurry sound in his ears. Li Ke knew what Li Yuan said.

"The chant of "The Owl" will not harm me."

"The chant of "The Owl" will not harm me."

......

Until Li Yuan died, he was still thinking about what Li Ke had said through him. Li Ke didn't know whether Li Yuan did this, whether he let go or not, whether his final murmur was relieved or persistent, but Li Ke knew that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had been in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, had already left.

Whether it is destruction or reputation, before Li Yuan, he was Emperor Yang Guang, who had been evil for thousands of years; after Li Yuan, he was Emperor Taizong Shimin, who was the emperor of the ages.

In terms of evil, Li Yuan is not as good as his cousin Yang Guang, in terms of merit, Li Yuan is not as good as his parent-child Li Shimin. The emperor Li Yuan is not as good as his civil and military skills, but it seems too ordinary to be between the two. Now, all of this is over, and it is finally over.

Li Yuan gave up a few whispers, his eyes slowly closed, his face faded away the last trace of blood, and then he was silent. Seeing this, Sun Simiao, who was accompanying Li Shimin, hurriedly walked forward, grabbed Li Yuan's wrist, and called his pulse, but could no longer feel any hope of life. So he shook his head and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the emperor is gone."

"grandfather..."

"Dad..."

Hearing Sun Simiao's words, a burst of shouts suddenly sounded in the hall.

Li Ke approached and was right in front of Li Yuan's bed. Li Ke stepped forward to hold Li Yuan's hand. Li Ke could still feel the residual warmth on Li Yuan's palm.

Just as his fingers and palms touched each other, Li Ke seemed to have more understanding of his grandfather, the grandfather who did not have a strong sense of existence in his impression.

Although Li Yuan was a little indecisive and shortened his imperial spirit, he led to a big mistake. At this point today, after all, he was just a lonely and disappointed old man.

"The emperor died, and he drove the dragon Bintian!"
