Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Soon, Li Ke thought of Li Yuan again.

It was already the year of Zhenguan when Li Ke crossed over. He met Li Yuan not only once, but most of his impressions were when he just crossed over. At that time, he was also full of curiosity about Li Yuan.

So Li Ke went to see Li Yuan.

In his impression, Li Yuan was a chubby old man. At least Li Ke, who had just crossed over at that time, still had a very vague concept of imperial power and had no awe at all. In his view, Li Yuan was just a chubby old man.

That's right, Li Yuan seemed to be just over sixty at that time, but he already looked quite old.

At that time, Li Ke directly called him Grandpa according to the modern people's name.

He remembered very clearly that Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and agreed, "Hey!" Then he called him over.

Li Yuan was under house arrest. Li Shimin was not under house arrest in name, but Li Yuan himself never left the palace. All in all, apart from Li Ke, Li Yuan's other grandsons seldom went to see him, except for some relatively important festivals.

On the contrary, in the two years since Li Ke traveled here, he chatted with Li Yuan whenever he had nothing to do. In his opinion, Li Yuan's attitude towards him was quite similar to his grandfather.

After the third year of Zhenguan, there were fewer people going behind Li Ke. First, it was Li Ke’s own business, and second, Li Yuan didn’t know if he was stimulated. At that time, he started to have fun every day, at least compared to Li Ke when he first came. Sometimes I want to let loose a lot.

Every time Li Ke went, he saw Li Yuan playing with some beautiful women in his arms. As a grandson, he was a little embarrassed, and then Li Ke gradually went less.

In the year of Zhenguan, Li Yuan gave birth to many younger sisters for Li Shimin.

These are basically all his impressions of Li Yuan. The Shangyuan Festival in the ninth year of Zhenguan was the last time Li Ke saw Li Yuan. At that time, his spirit was not very good, and his hair was almost all white. I didn't expect him to pass away so soon. Speaking of which, Li Ke really didn't know when Li Yuan died in history, and he didn't know whether his arrival had any impact.

It doesn't seem to have much impact.

To be honest, there may be a little bit of sadness, but it's just a little bit, because he does have some feelings with Li Yuan, but not much.

In the two years when he was a child, Li Ke was a mature soul, and he talked to Li Yuan more as an old man passing by.

What makes Li Ke feel a little emotional is that before he knows it, he has more and more bonds with this world.

"Your Highness, please express my condolences." Li Jing said softly.

"Well, to be honest, to say something disrespectful, maybe it would be better for him if my grandfather leaves." Li Ke sighed.

Li Jing and the others didn't feel much about this "big disrespect". To others, it was indeed "big disrespect". To His Royal Highness Qin Wang, it was just drizzle. I don't know how many times I have said in front of His Majesty, what is this?

In addition, they can all understand the meaning of Li Ke's words, and they all know what state Li Yuan is in.

"Your Highness, the minister is leaving tomorrow." Li Jing said, cupping his hands to Li Ke.

"Okay, let's go when you're ready. I haven't finished reading the edict just now. Who will stay?" Li Ke asked. Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun brothers commanded [-] Tang elites to garrison Xizhou.

Li Jing felt emotional. It seemed that His Highness King Qin seemed to be calm, but in fact he was very sad. His Highness is also a kind and filial person. He was so sad that he didn't even read His Majesty's imperial decree.

"Returning to Your Highness, Chen, Hou Junji, and Qibi Heli will return to the court. Tomorrow, Chen and Hou Junji will take the first step, and Qibi Heli will follow. Brothers Li Daozong, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche led the army to guard Xizhou, and they will deal with it with His Highness. Xizhou affairs." Li Jing said softly.

Li Ke turned his head and looked, then sighed and said: "Everyone just came back, I wanted to clean up the dust for you, but I never thought that there would be unexpected events, so it is difficult to welcome the generals. After returning to Chang'an another day, I I invite you to drink again."

"My condolences, Your Highness, the world mourns for such national mourning, and we have no such thoughts. But please take care of your health, Your Highness has just gotten on the right track, and you have to take charge of the overall situation, Your Highness." Li Jing looked serious. opened the mouth.

"I know." Li Ke nodded, "Don't worry, I won't delay the matter of Xizhou." At this point, we have to talk about the relevant regulations of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty was first established, Li Yuan was the first national funeral. But Li Yuan set the rules as early as the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. The funeral system of the Tang Dynasty was carried out in accordance with the "Zhou Rituals", which was very complicated and strict.

Of course, these are all for people with class and rights.

But on the external side, there are special regulations for foreign battles like Li Ke's, and everything is kept simple.In other respects, the regulations formulated by Li Yuan have little impact on the common people. For example, common people are not allowed to marry within one month, and entertainment venues are closed for one hundred days. Public slaughter is not allowed within 49 days, that is to say, cattle and sheep must be slaughtered in the house, and blood is not allowed in public places.

This is considered to have less impact, at least the current Datang is like this.Li Shimin should have started mourning at present, so all the court affairs in the Tang Dynasty will be handled by Prince Li Chengqian on his behalf.

After sending Li Jing and the others away, Li Ke went back to the tent by himself, and sent someone to take a piece of white silk, and then tied it on his forehead as a filial obedience.

After tying it for Li Ke, all the guards around Li Ke silently cut off a piece of white silk and tied it on their foreheads.

And following the actions of these guards, the news was quickly spread in all directions.

Lu Hai and the others silently maintained the same behavior as Li Ke. In addition, Lu Hai also asked people to remove all things that were the same as red and other related bright colors.As the news continued to spread through Yuelai Commercial Bank, members of Yuelai Commercial Bank all over the Tang Dynasty began to perform the same behavior silently.

Outsiders don't know, but each of Lu Hai and the others know that they are not because of the death of the Great Tang Emperor, but because of His Highness's grief and grief.

Your Highness's sorrow is their sorrow.

Yang Anning and the others arrived the next day, and when they arrived, the carriage and the clothes on their bodies had already been changed to plain colors.

"My condolences, Your Highness."

"Well, you came just in time. I have a lot of things here that need you to deal with." Li Ke nodded, with nothing visible on his face.

"Tomorrow, the king of the Qiang Kingdom will come to see me, and then you will have a bigger scene." Li Ke confessed, "You go to see Lu Hai in a while, and the two of you can communicate with each other. He knows some things."

"Yes! Your Highness! There is one more thing you need to know, Your Highness." Yang Anning said softly.

"What's the matter?" Li Ke was a little surprised.
