bastard seizes tang

Chapter 454
As soon as Li Yuan's words came out, the hall immediately fell silent, and a needle could be heard quietly. Although everyone in the hall was silent, the expressions on their faces already represented the surprise in their hearts.

Li Yuan is the Supreme Emperor, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Although he has abdicated to Li Shimin, he is still the king. If he dies, he should still follow the emperor's funeral ceremony.

"Book of Rites King System" says: "The Son of Heaven will be buried in seven days."

Every emperor's funeral, after being encoffined, must go through a funeral ceremony, stay in the main hall for seven days, and be worshiped by all officials and people. The heirs of the accompanying spirit are also particular, that is, the heirs of the accompanying spirit in the inner circle closest to the coffin must come from the direct line.

The hidden prince Li Jiancheng and the Qi king Li Yuanji are dead. Li Yuan's lineage is naturally the emperor Li Shimin, the prince Li Chengqian, the Wei king Li Tai, and the Jin king Li Zhi. The list of accompanying spirits.

Generally speaking, there is a difference between concubine and concubine, and the etiquette system cannot be broken. Li Ke is absolutely not qualified to attend the funeral, but now that Li Yuan has spoken, everything is different.

What Li Yuan just said has helped Li Shimin a lot, and Li Yuan is Li Shimin's father, the Supreme Emperor, and Li Shimin must respect his last wish at the end of his life.

The Li family won the world immediately, and they didn't pay much attention to these so-called rituals, let alone Li Keben was Li Shimin's beloved son, so it would not be difficult to make an exception for Li Yuan's last wish.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for Li Shimin's answer, but Li Shimin hardly hesitated. Li Shimin replied immediately: "Father has an order, and Shimin should obey it. If Father leaves, Shimin will So I ordered Hutou and Chengqian to attend the funeral for my father."

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the matter was considered settled. No one in the palace raised any objections, and no one dared to raise any objections. Li Ke and his son-in-law watched Li Yuan's funeral together, so the conclusion was reached.

Following Li Shimin's immediate response, the people in the hall were okay, but they were surprised, but the faces of Li Chengqian and Li Tai were extremely ugly, but the reason for their ugly faces was not because Li Yuan was dying, but because Li Yuan's will.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai are far inferior to Li Ke in terms of meritorious service and prestige, and they are also a bit weaker in terms of literary and martial arts. Compared with Li Ke, their biggest advantage is that they are the sons of the eldest grandson empress and the legitimate sons of Li Shimin. .

The heir of the East Palace, the son and the son, the difference between the son and the concubine, can be described as a gap between Li Chengqian and Li Ke, but following Li Yuan's words, this gap seems to be less obvious than it used to be.

The emperor's funeral attracted the attention of the world, how many pairs of eyes were watching, it was originally the privilege of a legitimate son to stand near the coffin to guard the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, but now because of Li Yuan's dying edict, Li Ke was actually allowed to be listed with the legitimate son, so how do others view this matter?Could it be that Li Ke is also considered a legitimate son?

The funeral ceremony of the emperor is solemn, if so, what will the prince choose in the future?Today, the rule of concubine and concubine has been opened, and the boundaries between Li Ke, Li Chengqian and Li Tai 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 didn't dare to express their unease and dissatisfaction in their hearts. Anyone who speaks now is a big disobedience. Even Li Shimin can't afford this crime, let alone them.

Hearing Li Shimin's response, Li Yuan who was lying on the sickbed spoke again, and asked Li Ke, "Tiger head, would you like it?"

Li Ke didn't care what Li Yuan's intentions were, but when Li Ke looked at the white-haired old man lying on the sickbed, and actually gave him a hand at the last moment of his life, Li Ke realized that what he said before The thing turned out to be this.

The identity of Li Ke's concubine was the biggest stumbling block on his way to becoming the master of the East Palace, and it was also the place where Li Ke was most helpless. The closeness of blood is not something that can be easily brought together by merit and favor, but now with Li Yuan's help at the end of his life, this problem It's not that difficult anymore.

"Grandfather treats you very well, and father loves you so much. This is Ke'er's luck. Ke'er is so grateful." Li Ke knelt down again, tears welling from his eyes, and bowed down.

After Li Yuan finished speaking, all his strength seemed to be exhausted. Li Yuan's hand naturally drooped and landed on the side of the bed. His cheek muscles were loose, but there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

When he was dying, Li Yuan's eyes were wide open, and Li Yuan seemed to see the scenes of his life: Shequeping married his wife, his beloved wife gave birth to a child, Taiyuan raised troops, Chang'an proclaimed emperor, and Xuanwumen's changes were mixed.

At this time, Li Yuan was already at dusk, and his strength had been exhausted. Li Yuan exhausted all his strength, and seemed to be muttering something to himself, murmuring with difficulty, and made an indistinct sound from his throat, which everyone else could hear. Not sure, let alone what Li Yuan was talking about.But Li Ke raised his head, looked at Li Yuan's mouth, and heard the vague voice in his ear, Li Ke knew what Li Yuan said.

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

"The chanting of "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 had let go of what he had done or not, whether his last murmur was relief or persistence, but Li Ke knew that this From the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Great Tang Emperor who opened the prosperous Tang Dynasty has left.

Whether it is destroyed or praised, before Li Yuan, it was Emperor Yang Guang who stayed evil for thousands of years;

In terms of evil, Li Yuan is not as good as his cousin Yang Guang, and in terms of merit, Li Yuan is not as good as his own son Li Shimin. Li Yuan, the emperor, is not bad in martial arts and martial arts, but it still seems too mediocre to be caught between the two.And now, it's all over, finally.

Li Yuan murmured a few times, his eyes closed slowly, the last trace of blood faded from his face, and then he was silent again. Seeing this, Sun Simiao, who was accompanying Li Shimin behind him, hurried forward, grabbed Li Yuan's wrist, and shouted. The pulse signal could no longer feel any vitality, so he shook his head and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the emperor has gone."

"grandfather."

"Daddy."

Hearing Sun Simiao's words, there was a burst of shouts in the hall.

Li Ke was close, 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 in Li Yuan's palm.

At the moment when fingers touched, Li Ke seemed to know a little more about his grandfather, who didn't have a strong sense of existence in his impression.

Although Li Yuan was a bit indecisive and lacked a little bit of imperial spirit, which led to a big mistake, to this point, but in the final analysis, he is just a lonely and disappointed old man.

"The emperor is dead, and the dragon is in the sky!"

With Chang Tu's lamentation, it resounded inside and outside the hall, announcing to the world the death of the last hero in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and an era was completely over.
