Destroy thousands of families to make a pool,

Plant roses without planting peaches and plums.

The roses fall and the autumn wind rises.

The thorns fill the courtyard and you will know it.

Within a few days, when Li Yu's July mourning ended, Li Shi ordered his father's coffin to be buried in Yuanling.

The wind was strong and the sky was dark. The royal family members who came to attend the funeral cried in the sky. Many princesses who had never been married in Li Yu's lifetime were covered in snow, and they cried very sadly. I don't know if they were crying for the Emperor Daxing or finally got the opportunity to vent their grievances.

"The Emperor of Daxing, he will never be eternal, and he will betray the country and betray it. He will be unbearable. Alas!"

The whole hall was filled with crying sounds, but King Han looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry. The silt and burden in his heart were too heavy! He could only sobbing in fear, not even dared to raise his head.

Tang An also had red eyes and knelt in the funeral sequence. Soon she looked at the lead-gray sky. Tan Zhizhong and five other high-ranking eunuchs held the crown that their grandfather wore during their lifetime with their left hand, and their mouths were horned by the "Emperor of the Great Walk". They climbed from the wings of the roof on the east side of the palace to the ridge. To the north and west, the crown was bulging in the wind. Then the five eunuchs shouted to the heavy sky on the west side:

"The Emperor of Daxing is here to restore his soul! The Emperor of Daxing is here to restore his soul! The Emperor of Daxing is here to restore his soul!"

This sad voice echoed throughout the Daming Palace.

After shouting three times in a row, Emperor Li Shi could no longer suppress his feelings when he heard this. He burst into tears and leaned down and cried.

Then Tang An saw that his grandfather's crown was like a big bird with wings spreading his wings. From the roof of the palace, Yan Zhenqing, who served as the etiquette envoy, held the box and caught it. Then he stood up and solemnly spread the crown and spread it on Li Yu's coffin. So far, Li Yu had successfully "restored his soul". His soul had been recruited again, and he could enter the Yuanling with peace of mind and continue to enjoy the glory and happiness as he had before his lifetime.

Then the hearse was launched, and countless white flags were raised. Under the guidance of the Shanming Commander Cui Ning and the Etiquette Commander Yan Zhenqing, they marched towards the Yuanling of Fuping.

"Grandfather..." Tang An was infected by some emotion at this time. Looking at the hearse that was beginning to walk, warm tears suddenly popped up. He couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands, and was filled with sadness. "Since then, the heavens and man have been separated forever. The most painful thing in this world is death. The word "leave" is now all."

In the courtyard of Shengpingfang, Gao Yue set up a memorial banquet and let Yun Shao stay by his side. "Emperor Daxing... No matter what, I am grateful for your green eyes and promotion to me during my lifetime. Now you have been buried in Yuanling. If you know anything under the spring, please rest your soul and rest your soul... goodbye forever."

At this time, Yun Shao looked up and saw the dark clouds covered with a trace of bloody light.

A few days later, Du Ya, the Jiangxi Observer, entered Beijing. It is said that before he set off, he proudly told the people around him that the position of the Censor and the Censor of the Beijing Office was my only one. Many officials along the way were scrambling, and the luggage was filled with requests from various people, which was heavy. As a result, when he arrived at Lantian Post, the Censor under Yang Yan gave the signature and bounced it into Li Shi's hands, which recorded Du Ya's various behaviors along the way.

"Another Qiao Lin!" Li Shi was furious and became a little disgusted with Du Ya's impression, but he did not make any statement, but announced that he would hold a deacon meeting in Zichen's palace today, deliberately not mentioning Du Ya, and asked the deacons to discuss the candidates for the censor.

In the hall, Li Shi asked everyone to recommend the candidates for the censor in his mind.

Cui Youfu was in poor health. Gao Yue had invited Cai Fonu's wife Song Zhuzhu from the Shence Military Camp to help Cui Zhonglang apply acupuncture. The situation improved slightly. However, when Cui Youfu saw that Zhu Zuzhu was just a young woman, he didn't want to treat her in her way, which was probably ridiculous, so the condition was dragged half-good and half-bad. This time he entered the hall, the emperor sent someone to carry him.

The emperor asked Cui Youfu's opinion first.

But Cui Youfu said that since I became seriously ill, I have ignored the matter, and I may be inaccurate. Please ask Yang Menlang to make an agreement first.

Yang Yan looked at Liu Yan secretly. He knew that Liu Yan would definitely elect Du Ya, and the impeachment of Du Ya should have been sent to the emperor. So I might as well make an agreement first.

The person Yang Yan Langsheng recommended was Henan Yin Zhao Huibo.

When Li Shi heard this candidate, he felt a little unhappy with Yang Yan's impression. If Yang Yan's words before made him bury a wedge against Liu Yan, and Lu Qi's words made him bury a wedge against Yang Yan:

"Zhao Huibo...I know that you have a close personal relationship with Zhao Huibo. Now Han Huan, Han Hui, and Du You are not enough. Is it that Zhao Huibo wants to be the censor? Do you want to turn Nanya into your private land?"

But Li Shi still smiled on the surface, saying that I knew Zhao Huibo’s reputation and let me consider it.

This made Yang Yan very proud.

Then he asked Yan Zhenqing that the person recommended by Yan Zhenqing was Li Mi, the governor of Hangzhou.

But the emperor did not agree with it on the spot. He said that Li Shaoyuan believed in Taoism and was not suitable for the Censorate.

Below is Liu Yan.

Yang Yan thought to himself: "As long as Liu Yan speaks to elect Du Ya, he will die in this move. Then Zhao Huibo should be able to successfully join the Xianshi Department as a doctor, and Liu Yan will be in my hands."

As a result, Liu Yan bowed to the emperor without any hesitation, and then clearly stated the person he recommended: "Your Majesty, former Xichuan Jiedushi, and Shanling Envoy Cui Ningke is the Censorate."

As soon as Liu Yan said something, the entire palace suddenly became silent. Even Emperor Li Shi was a little surprised because in the impeachment letter to Du Yazhi sent by the censor Yang Yan, he mentioned in vainly: Du Ya entered the capital and was determined to win the censor, and behind it was Liu Yan's instructions.

So Li Shi put in full force and prepared to "turn up the table" after Liu Yan shouted out the name "Du Ya", but who would have thought that the person Liu Yan recommended was Cui Ning! He suddenly felt like he was hit by a punch, but he was completely lost.

Even Yang Yan was caught off guard, and his originally prepared remarks were immediately disrupted and he began to be distracted.

But before Li Shi and Yang Yan could react, Cui Youfu, who was sitting quietly, also said: "What Liu Pushe said is very much."

Yan Zhenqing also said on the other side: "Preferring Cui Ning as the censor and the chief official Pingzhangshi is also the best choice."

"Well... I dare to ask why Pushe elected Cui Ning?" The emperor was still a little unwilling to give up.

"Your Majesty, Cui Ning has been guarding the border of Xichuan for more than ten years. Now he has handed over Xichuan to the court and has also managed the mountain tombs for Emperor Ruiwen and Xiaowu. He has both reputation, qualifications and merits. The current censor is short of. If Cui Ning is not used, where will Cui Ning be placed?"

Cui Youfu and Yan Zhenqing also added: "Your Majesty respects Cui Ning and can set a good example for the surrender of later generations (Xianghan, Huaixi, Ziqing and other semi-separatist towns)."

These words left the emperor speechless, and when I think about it, it was right: Cui Ning had been in Xichuan for so many years, and his subordinates had tens of thousands of soldiers. If you let the family come back, they will come back happily. Although his younger brother Cui Kuan was the governor of Shu, the governor of Xichuan was now under the jurisdiction of Zhang Yanshang, and his financial tuition began to enter the capital. When Zhu Li returned to the court, his father treated him preferentially. He could not come back now, but I treated him harshly. In this way, other towns would not accept me.
