"King of Han Li Yuanchang? Why is he here?" When Ma Ye saw this young man rushing into the hall crying and shouting "Father" , he couldn't help but show a surprised expression. .

"Is he Li Yuanchang?" Li Xiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Ma Ye's words. Among Li Yuan's sons, except for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, all the remaining sons were concubines, and there were several very famous among these concubines. For example, the King of Han Li Yuanchang, who is known for his masters in calligraphy and painting, is famous for his running script and his good at painting horses.

Of course, Li Yuanchang is still young, looks only in his teenage years, and his attainments in calligraphy and painting are not deep, but his fame has spread in the sects. Li Yuan praised his son from time to time. However, if Li Yuanchang was only talented, it would not be enough to attract Li Xiu's attention. The most important thing is that Li Yuanchang later encouraged Li Chengqian to rebel, which led to Li Shimin and his son turning against each other. As a result, Li Chengqian was deposed by the crown prince and Li Yuanchang was also killed.

"Li Yuanchang is a messenger. He is not enough to make trouble. Moreover, as the prince, His Majesty cannot summon him back to Chang'an alone. In other words, he should have left the fiefdom without authorization. He is such a brave man!" Thinking of Li Yuanchang, Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper to himself.

In fact, not only did Li Xiu think so, but if he knew Li Yuanchang here, he would have such thoughts at this time. After all, Li Shimin did not let the prince come back at all, but Li Yuanchang disobeyed the imperial edict and ran back. This was simply slapping Li Shimin in the face. He didn't see Li Shimin's face turned blue at this time.

After Li Yuanchang ran into the mourning hall, he pierced his head in front of Li Yuan's spirit and started crying. While crying, he was holding his clothes on his chest with both hands. It seemed that he was really heartbroken. Princess Pingyang and others had already stopped crying at this time, but seeing this half-brother crying so sadly, they couldn't help crying again.

In contrast, Li Shimin, who was standing opposite Princess Pingyang and others, kept staring at her disobedient younger brother, with her face gloomy and sunny. Many people around were secretly looking at Li Shimin, preparing to see what Li Shimin planned to deal with Li Yuanchang?

"Emperor Brother! Yuanchang was borne by the emperor's order and shouldn't have returned to Chang'an, but when he heard his father's death, he felt extremely sad. He thought that he was a son of man, but he could not send his father to his death. He was extremely unfilial, so he disobeyed the emperor's order and returned to the capital. However, as long as he could see his father again, even if he was punished by the emperor's brother, I would be willing!" At this moment, Li Yuanchang suddenly stopped his sad voice, and then leaned in front of Li Shimin and said loudly.

As soon as Li Yuanchang said, Li Xiu next to him almost laughed out loud, because Li Yuanchang was too cunning, and all the reasons for returning to Chang'an were attributed to his filial piety. In this way, Li Shimin would not be able to punish him. After all, filial piety is human nature, and even as an emperor, Li Shimin cannot blame Li Yuanchang for this.

Not only did Li Xiu hear what Li Yuanchang said, but everyone around him also reacted and looked at Li Shimin one by one. However, Li Shimin calmed down and saw that he did not speak immediately, but stared at Li Yuanchang below with a calm face. However, this silence puts greater pressure on people. Li Yuanchang knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head.

After a while, Li Shimin finally said slowly: "Get up, you are filial to your father, I am very pleased. Go back and see your father!"

Li Shimin put too much pressure on Li Yuanchang. Now that he heard that he did not punish him for this, Li Yuanchang was obviously relieved. He immediately thanked Li Shimin, and then stood up to pay tribute to his father's face.

When the people around him saw that Li Shimin did not punish Li Yuanchang for this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if Li Shimin is furious, it might be another bloody change, and I don't know how many people will be involved at that time.

Compared to others, Li Xiu understood Li Shimin's mood more. He dared to bet that Li Shimin would definitely want to kill Li Yuanchang directly. After all, he finally wanted to set rules for his children and grandchildren, but he was destroyed by Li Yuanchang. With the example of Li Yuanchang, other princes who were watching would definitely come to Beijing one after another, and he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to stop him.

"It's really hard to sit in the position of emperor!" Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. Speaking of which, Li Shimin not only had to eliminate external threats, but also had to face internal big and small problems, and even had to consider a longer-term plan for future generations, so that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty would be inherited longer. No wonder Li Shimin has grown very quickly in recent years. He is obviously two years younger than Princess Pingyang, but now he looks much older than Princess Pingyang.

"For the emperor, who enjoys the supply of the world, naturally, he has to bear the responsibility of the world. Unfortunately, most people only see the scenery in the first half, but ignore the hard work in the second half!" When Ma Ye next to him heard Li Xiu's words, he also said with some emotion.

Li Xiu nodded deeply when he heard Ma Ye's words. For the sake of the throne, there were countless people in history who had exhausted their efforts and even offered their heads and blood. No matter how much price they paid, they wanted to compete for the position of the Emperor, including Li Shimin. However, he was the lucky few successful people, while most of them were on the road to fighting for the throne. It can be said that the lofty throne was actually a mountain made of white bones.

Li Yuanchang's arrival was just a small episode in this funeral. The sacrifice of the first seventh century continued, and important ministers and nobles came from time to time. However, only a few of them were qualified to come in to pay tribute to Li Yuan's remains. When it was dusk, the sacrifice of the first seventh century also entered a **.

After Li Jiancheng's death, Li Shimin became Li Yuan's eldest son. Under the auspices of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Li Shimin led Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian and other princesses in front, followed by Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu and other princesses. In addition, the brave Li Yuanchang was also there. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Li Yuanchang happened to be with Li Xiu.

Li Xiu also noticed the Han King beside him at this time. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other person. He saw that Li Yuanchang was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with red lips and white teeth. He was a rare handsome man. He looked completely different from the heroic appearance of Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son. He was quite gentle in every move. With his talent, no wonder he had such a great reputation among scholars?

Li Yuanchang also felt that Li Xiu was looking at him. He turned his head and looked at Li Xiu, with a humble smile on his face. Li Xiu responded with a faint smile, but did not say anything, and then turned his head aside and no longer had any eye contact with Li Yuanchang.

Li Xiu had no favoritism for Li Yuanchang, who encouraged Li Chengqian to rebel many years later. What's more, this time he disobeyed Li Shimin's emperor's order and ran back to Chang'an, which had offended Li Shimin badly. Now Li Shimin cannot punish him, but it does not mean that he will spare Li Yuanchang in the future. It is estimated that Li Yuanchang's life will not be very easy in the future, so he should stay away from him to avoid being implicated by him.

Of course, as Li Xiu's identity, I was not afraid of being really implicated by Li Yuanchang. The key was that he didn't want to cause trouble anymore, and Li Yuanchang was a big trouble now, so the wisest way was to stay away from him. For example, other people around him were also intentionally or unintentionally at this time, and only Li Xiu's family dared to walk with Li Yuanchang.

The first seven is also the last procedure for burial, that is, the day for burial. After the filial sons and grandchildren have visited Li Yuan's last face, the coffin will be nailed to death. Then, it will not be carried to the imperial tomb until a hundred days later. Now the imperial tomb is being built and should be completed within three months. At that time, Queen Dou's coffin will be buried with Li Yuan.

Li Shimin led Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian to the platform to look up to Li Yuan's remains. At this time, Li Xiu was also worried that Li Shimin would see something. After all, the coffin was lying a copycat. But perhaps Li Shimin was too sad, and Li Yuan's substitute could have been faked and real, and his appearance changed after death. In the end, Li Shimin didn't seem to see anything, but fell off the platform with tears in his eyes. Then Li Chengqian and others also looked at Li Yuan's remains one by one. Even Li Shimin could not tell anything, so it was even more impossible for them.

After the prince and the young master in front of him finished watching it, it was the turn of Princess Pingyang and other sisters. Li Xiu was originally a little worried that Princess Pingyang was too sad, but Princess Pingyang was very strong at this time. She took Li Jin's little hand to Li Yuan's coffin. Although her eyes were filled with tears, she told Li Jin to look at her grandfather more, and then she went down with Princess Changguang and others, which finally made Li Xiu breathe a sigh of relief.

Then it was Li Xiu and others' turn. Li Xiu had never come in since he sent the real Li Yuan away last time, which made him a little curious, so he stepped onto the high platform and then came to the coffin to take a look at the fake Li Yuan inside.

Li Yuan inside was wearing a thick shroud and covered with a quilt embroidered with a golden dragon. He lay there in a very peaceful expression. Although his face was a blue-white unique to the dead, he still looked like he was lying there and asleep.

Li Xiu was relieved to see this. The appearance of this fake Li Yuan was almost unchanged from the last time they left. After all, the temperature is relatively low now, and ice is buried under the high platform. The gap between the coffins is filled with antiseptic drugs, making the corpse less prone to decay.
