The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2165

"Okay." Dou Xiaoguo nodded in response.

"This time, I came here for official business. His Royal Highness King Yan just passed away. The Ministry of Rites drafted a charter and sent it to Xuanzheng Palace. I have already read the charter." Xuan Shijing said.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong with that charter?" Dou Xiaoguo said.

"Don't be nervous, the regulations are fine, very good." Xuan Shijing said: "After all, this kind of thing, there are still traces to follow, and there can't be any major mistakes. Even if there are, it's a harmless thing, it's something else , His Royal Highness King Yan lived in the academy on Zhuangzi before his death, and had a good relationship with many students in the academy. Now that His Royal Highness King Yan has passed away, the students on Zhuangzi also want to do their part and come to see King Yan on his last journey. Originally I wanted to arrange it within the itinerary, but after I read the regulations, I felt that I couldn’t force it into it, so I told His Majesty that I might as well wait for all the rules and affairs of the day to be completed before dispatching a Ministry of Rites. The officials are present, just accompany the students to pay homage to King Yan."

"That's fine." Dou Xiaoguo said.

He also participated in the charter. If he really changed it and put something else in it, it would be really difficult to change it. According to what his father-in-law said, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.

"Then His Majesty appointed you, saying that you are my son-in-law anyway, so it's good to be familiar with him." After Xuan Shijing finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Could it be that there is something else in your Majesty's words?" Dou Xiaoguo asked.

I have been an official in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, and I have learned to guess other meanings in other people's words, so I will think a little more about everything.

Xuan Shijing shook his head.

He couldn't understand the question.

Then just don't want to.

"I don't know, anyway, just follow His Majesty's arrangement, but I will bring the students from Zhuangzi with you afterwards to ensure that there will be no mistakes. As for other things, there is no need to think so much, after all, King Yan was alive. To have such a human relationship, His Majesty should be happy for King Yan." Xuan Shijing said: "You can be busy these two days, and after the matter is over that day, you can stay for a while."

"Okay." Dou Xiaoguo responded.

Xuan Shijing came to the Ministry of Rites, just to inform Dou Xiaoguo, and there was nothing else to do. Anyway, the two families are in contact so frequently now. If there is anything else, you can send someone to pass the message without worrying about being called People in the court are sick.

The two families are about to get married, or before the marriage of the children, can they not communicate frequently?If we don't have a good communication, how can we let the two children get married?Using this reason to talk about things, I am afraid that there are no children in the family who want to get married, right?

When Xuan Shijing came back to Chang'an this time, he also brought a few guards with him. After returning to the house in Daozhengfang, Xuan Shijing asked his own guards to go back to Zhuangzi to send a message. When they came to Chang'an City in the morning, it would be noon after the ceremony, and they would definitely be able to catch up. As for the way they came, they would be escorted by the guards of the Xuan family to avoid any accidents on the way.

Two days later, Dr. Li's funeral was held as scheduled, and the palace was completely deserted. Li Chengqian was not allowed to show up. At most, he could only read the eulogy in the palace, but there was no rule for the emperor to send his son off. A large group of people escorted Doctor Li's coffin out of the Daming Palace and walked on the Longshouyuan.

The Daming Palace is not in Chang'an City, so there is no need to avoid Jingjie in Chang'an City, just bypass it, and then rush to Jingling.

Xuan Shijing rode a horse and watched the team from afar.

It is only the death of a prince, and there is no need for hundreds of officials to send him off. Moreover, this prince is still the King of Yan after his death.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites need to preside over the whole process, especially after arriving at Jingling Middle School, they need to be attentive.

Xuan Shijing stayed outside for the time being, Li Jue was left in the palace by Empress Su, and did not come out to participate in the ceremony of Doctor Li entering the imperial tomb.

Not long after, the guards of the Xuan family brought the students from Zhuangzi over. The students were all neatly dressed in school uniforms, and they were meticulous. Dr. Li and them were just classmates and friends. It's grand enough.

After the Ministry of Rites left with the brigade, Xuan Shijing and the Xuan family's guards led the students from Zhuangzi into the Jingling Mausoleum, where Dou Xiaoguo was already waiting at the gate.

"Father-in-law." Dou Xiaoguo saluted after seeing Xuan Shijing.

"En." Xuan Shijing nodded in response: "This is the student of Zhuangzi."

Afterwards, Xuan Shijing turned his head and said to the students in Zhuangzi: "This is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Dou Xiaoguo, Master Dou."

"Students pay their respects to Master Dou." Many students bowed their hands in salute.

"Students, you don't need to be too polite, it's getting late, let's go in and worship." Dou Xiaoguo said.

Although there is the emperor's will, Dou Xiaoguo is the servant of the Ministry of Rites after all. After King Yan's funeral, he will return to the Ministry of Rites to take care of other matters. Therefore, the time spent here should not be too much.

A group of people approached the mausoleum mightily.

Jingling Mausoleum is the mausoleum that Li Chengqian built for himself after he ascended the throne. Now Dr. Li is ahead of Li Chengqian. Dr. Li has no family and no children, so he will be buried in Jingling Mausoleum naturally.

Just like some sons and daughters of His Majesty Li Er were buried in Zhaoling.

Zhaoling is the mausoleum built by His Majesty Li Er for himself. Up to now, the rightful lord is still in the world, but many heroes have already buried in Zhaoling, which is embarrassing.

And what about Li Chengqian's Jingling?The main mausoleum has not yet been repaired, but Doctor Li lay down first.

People have a destiny, and the world is impermanent.

Xuan Shijing's waist was also tied with a piece of white silk, and the students, after entering the mausoleum, also took the white silk from the people around Dou Xiaoguo, tied it around their waists, and then tied it around Dou Xiaoguo's. Under the guidance, burn incense and salute, and add a handful of paper money to the basin.

"Although His Royal Highness King Yan didn't live in the academy for too long, we have developed friendship with King Yan after these days. Friendship is something that takes time." A student said: "I didn't expect that. , this short period of time of only two months has already been separated forever."

"Yes." Another student also echoed: "If such a destination is not bad for King Yan, it is not a bad thing. On weekdays, we often see King Yan, and we also see him being tortured by illness. Looks like torture."
