Chapter 274: Father and Son
Although Han Zemu was a calligrapher in the eyes of later generations, he was still good to be an official in Li Qing's opinion.
It was said that Li Longji's funeral was handled in two days and had to be done very well, so they didn't really drag it on. In two days, Li Longji was buried in the specifications of Li Shimin's old father Li Yuan, and even in some details, which were higher than Li Yuan.
Li Yi followed almost the whole process, doing all the processes that Li Heng should have done.
He knew that in this way, there must be more discussions about him in the court. After all, Li Yu, as the crown prince, is still there. He can't just say that the crown prince is filial and takes care of Li Heng before the sickbed, and just brings this matter over. This is unreasonable, right?
When Li Longji's body finally returned to the imperial tomb, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He felt the difficulty of becoming an emperor for the first time. To be honest, these trivial things were indeed very inconsistent with his temperament.
However, Li Qing thought again, if he really reached the throne, wouldn’t many rules be determined by himself? Those who can create rules should naturally not be restricted by the rules.
Li Longji's funeral was over. Li Qing first praised Han Zemu, who was quite satisfied with this incident, and Han Zemu did not disappoint Li Qing. After accepting Li Qing's praise, he personally gave Li Qing a list.
On that list, there were some backgrounds and relationship networks of several people under his command. He was able to get into the position of Minister of Rites over the years, and his ability was obviously not for nothing. Compared to Yuan Zai's disappointment, Han Zemu could lay a solid foundation with Li Qing.
After reading the information Han Zemu gave him, Li Ning basically knew why Yuan Zai was in front of him as soon as possible.
He knew that at this time, he could no longer escape and face Li Heng's head on, and Li Heng's life was about to come to an end. Some things, if they were father and son, they could not speak in the past few days, they would have no chance to speak in the future.
So, taking advantage of the opportunity to repay Li Longji's funeral, Li Yan went to the door of Tai Chi Palace and directly sent someone to report it.
Sure enough, as Li Neng imagined, neither Li Heng nor Li Yu set any obstacles for his meeting with Li Heng. He almost only waited outside the door for less than half an incense stick. The palace maids inside ran out and asked Li Neng to meet directly in Li Heng's bedroom, saying that the emperor and the prince had been waiting for a long time.
Such an attitude was rare in Li Heng before, but Li Qing had already seen something from Li Longji. He was so kind to death. He probably meant people like them. Once the shadow of death began to cover them, they would reflect on what they had done in their life.
Li Heng’s mistake was actually very obvious. Although he did not become the emperor for a long time, his attitude towards the two princes Li Yu and Li Yong was his biggest mistake.
In fact, in the past two days, Li Qing had already seen Chen Zhibao who had been waiting in the city.
Li Longji's funeral, which led by Li Qing, actually spread quite quickly in Chang'an City. Chen Zhibao heard about this on that day.
At this time, he was actually not so anxious. After all, if Li Yan was really encircled in Chang'an City, Li Heng would not have let him take charge of anything, let alone a major event like Li Longji's funeral.
After Li Yan met the members of the Ministry of Rites, he sent the guards around him to find Chen Zhibao. As soon as Chen Zhibao came up, he asked Li Yan if he wanted to find someone outside the city to bring in first just in case.
However, Li Neng refused him at that time. The original words at that time were in Chang'an City, and it would be enough to have him.
This is obviously Li Yi's common self-confidence, but Chen Zhibao also knew that Li Yi could not joke about his life, so he did not insist on bringing the cavalry into Chang'an City, but he still kept himself in Chang'an City.
He knew that Zhang Xun and Nan Jiyun would be able to get outside the city in just three or two days. Even if they didn't bring most of their troops into the city, their main characters would definitely have to come in. On that day, Li Neng would definitely be invincible no matter what.
So Li Qing, who appeared at the entrance of Tai Chi Palace, was still alone. He followed the palace maid and quickly walked outside Li Heng's bedroom. After entering the bedroom, Li Qing found that there was only a pale face in the room, with Li Heng leaning on the bed on the upper body, and Li Yu, who was sitting on the bench by the bed.
Obviously, Li Yu has not left here in the past few days, he is really taking care of Li Heng.
Seeing Li Heng like this, Li Wen couldn't help but sigh again. Compared to Li Longji, Li Heng was obviously much happier in the last moment of his life.
Not only was his son always serving him, but the queen also meticulously made some soups for him that he likes on weekdays. Otherwise, Li Heng might not have been able to persevere until today.
Just because of this, Li Qing felt that compared to Li Longji, he should be satisfied as a son.
Li Heng sat up and was obviously waiting for Li Yan. At this time, he saw Li Yan slowly walking in, and waved to Li Yan directly, signaling Li Yan to sit on another bench next to Li Yu.
At this time, Li Neng certainly had to listen to Li Heng. After saluting Li Heng and Li Yu, he slowly sat on the bench.
Li Heng was quite satisfied with Li Yong's series of actions since he came in. After all, he understood what Li Yong was like now. It was not an exaggeration to say that Chang'an City was about to besieged by Li Yong's army. Moreover, Li Yu had already expressed to him that the position of emperor might be his idea.
Under such circumstances, Li Yi was able to maintain his usual style, not being arrogant or impatient, which is obviously very valuable.
"I still want to thank you for the funeral of the Supreme Emperor. I have heard of it. You did a very good job in this matter, and it can be regarded as the last journey that the Supreme Emperor has completed with glory and glory!"
