Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 797 Chapter 816: Li Hao's funeral

When Li Hao and Fan Lihua arrived on this isolated island, an urgent military report had already been sent from Weihaiwei to Chang'an, and finally reached Li Zhi's dragon case.

After Li Zhi flipped through the content of the memorial, his smile gradually froze on his face, his whole body became stiff, and the memorial slipped from his hands and fell on the desk.

Seeing this, the servant Xu You hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

There was no response, Xu You was worried immediately, and called out: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Your Majesty? Your Majesty..."

No matter how he shouted, there was no response. Xu You was extremely anxious. He wanted to touch Li Zhi, but he didn't dare, so he could only shout: "Quickly send the doctor!"

"No need." Li Zhi suddenly leaned on the dragon chair, pinched the temples on both sides with his right hand, and covered his forehead and eyes with his palm.

Xu You had served Li Zhi for three or four years, and naturally knew Li Zhi very well. He could see that Li Zhi must have seen some bad memorials, and he was in a bad mood at the moment.

Xu You hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, our Tang Dynasty is now extremely powerful, and everything can be resolved."

In his opinion, the things that can make Li Zhi feel bad are nothing more than natural disasters and man-made disasters, but with Datang's current strength, no matter what natural disasters and man-made disasters, they can be easily quelled, and things that can be solved with money are nothing serious .

Li Zhi continued to cover his face, and said: "Everyone back down, Xu You, you also back down! Let the Jinwu guards outside the hall also back away!" His voice was very cold, a little frighteningly cold.

"Yes!" Everyone took orders to retreat, Li Zhi was the only one left in the Ganlu Hall, and even the Jinwu Guards outside the hall retreated to more than 50 feet away.

Li Zhi lowered his right hand slowly, and saw that his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his cheeks, like a river bursting its embankment, the teardrops burst out of his eyes, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

"what--"

"what--"

"what--"

Heart-piercing cries came from the Ganlu Hall, almost roaring.

It's not that Li Zhi has never cried before, but he has never cried so sadly and heartbreakingly. Even if his father died that year, he would just kneel down and cry. After all, his father died in bed. Already mentally prepared.

Li Hao was in the prime of his youth, he was his best and only friend, but he was suddenly swallowed up by the sea, he couldn't accept this fact, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed, that kind of pain, don't cry out, He felt that he would go crazy, but he is the king of a country, and he must maintain supreme majesty in front of other people. He cannot cry easily, let alone cry so disrespectfully, so he screened everyone away, and then burst into tears, Roaring heart-piercingly, the grief in his heart needs to be vented.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Zhi's imperial decree was passed to Li Hao's Lantian Villa. The imperial decree said that Li Hao was shipwrecked on the way to the Japanese kingdom, and was buried in the sea with General Fan Lihua. Yipin ordered Li Hao to be granted the title of Duke of Qiongguo, and the fief of Qiongnan. He had the right to participate in Qiongnan's political affairs and deliberation, and hereditary did not replace him. Li Hao's tomb was buried in Zhaoling. Li Hao's portrait replaced Hou Junji and entered Ling Yan Pavilion ranks first among the 24 heroes.

This series of rewards has basically exceeded the range that this era can bear. The most outrageous of them are the participation in Qiongnan's political discussions and hereditary replacement. There is no such thing as hereditary titles in the Tang Dynasty.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for this imperial decree to pass the review of Zhongshu, his subordinates, and the Ministry of Shangshu anyway, but it just passed. Why, because Zhongshu ordered Liu Shi to accept Li Zhi's notice without hesitation. After drawing up the imperial decree, Liu Xi knew that Li Hao and Changsun Wuji were political enemies, and he hated Changsun Wuji, so he naturally wanted to help Li Hao, so since the emperor asked to write it like this, he wrote it like this, and Mou Gao, who was under the door, did not hesitate The government approved the imperial decree and opened a green channel for it.

When the imperial decree came to Shangshu Province, it was natural that Changsun Wuji had to pass the hurdle. However, Changsun Wuji agreed because he was so happy. Li Hao died. Can he be unhappy? No one can threaten him from now on , but after he was happy, he felt a little sad.

Although he is selfish, he also has the heart to seek the country. He recognizes Li Hao's talent. It is a pity that Datang suddenly loses such a talent. This psychology is very contradictory. In fact, the situation that Changsun Wuji most hopes Even if Li Hao can live peacefully under others, it is best to fall under his wings and obey his orders, but he also knows that this is impossible.

Li Hao's death made Changsun Wuji sigh. Generally speaking, he is happy. After all, his relationship with Li Hao is very stiff. He is already an enemy. He should be happy when his enemy is dead.

As for this imperial decree, he is not too much to make things difficult, and people die with resentment. Back then, Li Hao also called him grandson Uncle, and it was the last gift for Li Hao. In his impression, places like Qiongnan It's just a poor place.

After receiving this imperial decree, most of Li Hao's family members collapsed. Qin Su fainted several times from crying directly. Turandot didn't want to believe that Li Hao was killed. He cried and wanted to go to sea to find Li Hao himself. In her words, one needs to see people while one is alive, and one needs to see corpses when one dies. Elena and Gulina wiped away their tears without thinking. Dolma looks at the sky every day and weeps secretly.

Only Li Ping didn't cry, and she had to take care of the whole family, comfort all the sisters, and at the same time send a message to Shi Najie, asking him to continue to take care of Li's business without distraction. At the same time, she asked Lu Yun to go Seek to find Wu Lei, suspend all maritime trade of the Li Group, send all sea ships out, and look for Li Hao. She does not believe that Li Hao will die so easily.

In the eyes of her family, Li Ping was very strong and gave everyone in the family confidence. However, when she returned to the room at night, she hugged the quilt and curled up on the bed, crying like a child.

In Youzhou of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui received the news of Li Hao's death. He got drunk that night and wailed wildly all night. Early the next morning, he put on ordinary people's clothes, left Youzhou, and rushed to Chang'an.

In the direction of Qinghai, General Peng Hai of the Qinghai Guard received the news of the death of Li Hao and Fan Lihua. He climbed to the top of the Qinghai Wei City and looked towards the direction of Chang'an with tears streaming down his face. General Li, General Fan, two outstanding people in the world, go all the way!"

The funeral ceremony for Li Hao was being held in Lantian Villa, and the new minister of rites came. After offering incense in front of the mourning hall, the minister of rites asked Li Ping for the armor and weapons that Li Hao wore during his lifetime, because he wanted to follow Li Zhi's request, Li Hao's Clothes Tomb was buried with Zhaoling. Li Hao's martial arts was outstanding and shocked the world. Since the Clothes Tomb was set up, of course it is better to use armor. According to the implication, Li Hao can also protect Emperor Taizong when he goes to the underworld.

Li Ping took out the set of armor that Li Shimin gave to Li Hao and a knife that Li Hao had used before, and let the people from the Ministry of Rites take them away.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, and Qin Qiong came to visit. Li Hao was their most promising nephew, even closer than their own nephew. After the Duke finished offering incense in front of the mourning hall, Li Ping returned the gift with other sisters and children.

The three princes looked at the women and children in sackcloth and filial piety, and felt very uncomfortable. Qin Qiong took the lead and said: "My nieces, Shi Kuang is my Qin Qiong's most beloved nephew, and he is no worse than his own son. In the future, if you have any If you are in trouble or are being bullied by others, come to inform Qin, as long as Qin is still alive, he will never let you suffer any grievances!"

Li Ji also said: "The words of Duke Yi are also the meaning of Duke Lu and I. Although Shikuang is gone, his family is just like our family. Even if the three of us put together our old bones, we will Keep you safe."

Li Ping nodded gratefully: "Thank you three uncles."

The sons and daughters of Li Tu and Li Hao also saluted and said in unison: "Thank you three grandpas."

Cheng Yaojin caressed Li Tu's head affectionately, looking at Li Hao's ghost, tears could not help falling down, Qin Qiong and Li Ji also had red eye circles, and forcibly held back.

Another person came to offer incense, this time it was Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chumo is now running around all year round, taking care of business, this time he heard the news of Li Hao's death, he hurried back, before returning home, seeing His father was also here, and both of them were taken aback.

"Father! Uncle Qin! Uncle Li!" Cheng Chumo stepped forward to salute.

Cheng Yaojin nodded, stepped out of the way, and said: "First offer incense to Poet Kuang!"

"Yes!" Cheng Chumo stepped forward to offer incense to Li Hao, looked at Li Hao's portrait, and thought of how interesting it was when he was married to Li Hao, and it was Li Hao who started his career and found a The direction of life, but now, Li Hao is still so young, he died young, he turned his back to everyone, and quietly wiped his tears.

After wiping away the tears, Cheng Chumo came to Li Hao's family and bowed to each other. Cheng Chumo said: "Siblings and sisters, I won't say anything about my condolences. To be honest, I don't really believe that Shi Kuang died. I know him very well. He is an omnipotent person, even if he falls into the Nine Nether Hell, he can still climb out. Now our Cheng family also has a fleet. In this year, we have stopped doing business at sea, so we specially send ships out to look for Li Hao .”

Li Ping nodded and said, "Thank you, Second Brother, it's really a blessing for my husband to be able to worship you."

Cheng Chumo hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't say that, it's my blessing to know Shi Kuang."

People came in one after another from outside, the right servant of Shangshu shot Ma Zhou, the official secretary Sun Bowang, and the provincial servant Zhong Mou Gao...

This group came from civil servants, a total of eight people, and each of them was a senior official above the third rank. These people either admired Li Hao, or Li Hao had kindness to them, so they had to come.

Then came the generals, Niu Jinda came, Su Dingfang's nephew came, Li Yuanzhong came, and lost his mind...

At noon, a heavyweight came, Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng's arrival shocked the officials, because since Wu Meiniang entered the palace, Wei Zheng had never been in court again, and Mou Gao rarely bothered him with government affairs. Many people hadn't seen him for several years. He actually came to Li Hao's funeral, which shows that Li Hao is also very popular with Wei Zheng.

In the afternoon, a person more important than Wei Zheng came, Li Zhi came.

　It depends on how a person is, and how others evaluate him after his death. It is obvious that a tiger leaves its skin when it dies, and a person leaves its name after death.
