Li Yong nodded, showing a look of relief. I have watched this prince grow up, and he is truly one of a kind.
The future must be a wise one.
After Li Yong said so much, he suddenly lost strength and looked tired. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
Wu Yu took a deep breath, with a sad look on his face.
Li Ding blinked his eyes, tears streaming down his face.
Soon after, Wu Yu said goodbye and left Chen Guogong's mansion and returned to the palace. After thinking for a while, Wu Yu went to Kunning Palace first.
In this winter, if you want to enjoy flowers, there is no place to go, basically nothing can be done. Liu Xiang had nothing to do and was sitting on a chair embroidering.
After hearing the noise, Liu Xiang raised her head and saw her son's face. Liu Xiang immediately smiled and said: "Son."
Soon, she realized something was wrong, and a serious look appeared on her face. Asked: "What happened?"
Wu Yu shook his head slightly and told Liu Xiang what happened.
"Brother Li...?" Liu Xiang's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears. After crying for a while, she raised her head and said, "I, a woman, can't get involved in this matter. It's up to you. I only have one thing to say. It must be beautiful."
"Yes." Wu Yu bowed in response.
Wu Yu comforted Liu Xiang, then turned and left Kunning Palace and came to Wenyuan Pavilion.
"Your Highness." The cabinet ministers lined up on both sides and bowed to greet him.
"Excuse me." Wu Yu raised his hand, sat down in his seat, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows about Chen Guogong. The queen mother only has one sentence, she must be beautiful. But currently there are two problem."
"This is the first time since the founding of the Han Dynasty that a hero has died of illness."
"The first is the posthumous title."
"The second is the grave."
The cabinet ministers were all moved. Liu Zhixing nodded slightly and said, "I think these two matters should be left to your Majesty's decision."
The cabinet ministers nodded in unison.
The posthumous title is the final word.
Find a few good words and submit them to the emperor for decision.
The grave is not easy to deal with.
According to normal circumstances, Wu Nian, as the founding king of the country, should have chosen the location of the mausoleum early and started construction.
The scope of the mausoleum must be large. In this way, heroes can be given the treatment of being buried in the imperial mausoleum.
However, Wu Nian has not yet built the imperial mausoleum on the grounds that it would cost too much.
What should I do after Li Yong dies? Should he be buried normally, or should he stop somewhere and build an imperial mausoleum first?
This has to be decided by Wu Nian.
Wu Yu nodded and said: "These two matters should naturally be left to the father to decide. But time waits for no one, and the father is far away in Gansu."
"I became the master. Choose a place outside the city and build a funeral palace. Wait for Chen Guogong..."
Before Wu Yu finished speaking, an official came in from outside, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, Chen Guogong's grandson sent someone to report that Chen Guogong has passed away."
Wu Yu took a deep breath, stood up and said seriously: "The imperial court has given a thousand taels of silver to Chen Guogong's mansion for funeral arrangements. Send people to work harder to report to the emperor."
"yes."
Liu Zhixing bowed and saluted with a heavy expression.
The cabinet ministers present also looked sad. Although everyone is mortal, but...
This was the first great hero to die of illness since the founding of the Han Dynasty. In accordance with Wu Yu's order, the imperial court selected a place and stepped up the construction of a funeral palace as a place to park the coffin.
Chen Guogong's mansion began to arrange funeral arrangements.
same day. Prince Wu Yu wore plain clothes and respectfully led all the kings and court officials to the Duke Chen's mansion to express condolences.
The funeral arrangements were performed with great splendor and caused a sensation in the capital.
The prince came to express his condolences in person. Both the common people and officials feel honored when talking about this matter.
Although this does not mean anything to Li Yong, people die and leave their names, and geese pass by and leave their voices. It is what future generations should do to arrange funerals in a beautiful way.
.............
Lanzhou City.
After traveling through mountains and rivers, Wu Nian returned to the palace in Lanzhou City.
Wu Nian and the civil and military ministers who came to greet him entered the side hall and sat down together.
"Your Majesty, how is Qin An?" Feng Chong bowed to Wu Nian and asked.
"Qin'an is a good place, and the Jiang Wei Temple is also well built. Although thousands of years have passed, the people of Tianshui still remember this general."
Wu Nian said with a smile.
"The famous generals of the Han Dynasty are still alive in the hearts of the people even after a thousand years." Feng Chong showed envy and said longingly: "When I die, I will build a temple for myself outside the capital."
After hearing his words, everyone was stunned.
Wu Nian smiled and scolded: "You bastard, how can anyone build a shrine for you?"
Feng Chong was not ashamed, but said matter-of-factly: "Although I have outstanding abilities and outstanding military exploits, there are too many people who are jealous of me. I'm afraid I'm not as famous as Jiang Wei. I'm afraid future generations won't support me, so why don't I make a circle for myself? Land, build yourself a building.”
Wu Nian really couldn't stand listening any more, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay. Okay. I can't stand listening to your crooked ideas anymore. Don't worry, after you die, I will build you a house."
"Really?" Feng Chong's eyes lit up, he was very happy, but then he felt worried, and he raised his hands and said, "You are not joking."
Wu Nian really wanted to take out the knife and chop this guy.
"Haha." Feng Chong smiled when he saw Wu Nian's dark face and said nothing and stopped mentioning the matter.
So much for the naughty words. Wu Nian took a deep breath, showed a serious look, and said: "My lords, it has been nearly half a year since I captured Gansu."
"The soldiers lost in the First World War in Gansu have been replenished. Now the troops are strong and strong."
"There will be a bumper harvest of grain this year, inside Yumen Pass. Grain and grass are piled up like mountains."
"Now let's discuss how to conquer the Western Region."
As he spoke, Wu Nian looked up at an imperial guard and nodded slightly.
The Ouchi guard cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and went down. Not long after, two Ouchi guards brought in a desk and put it down. On the desk was a topographic map of the Western Regions.
Mountains, rivers, valleys, deserts and grasslands are all clearly visible.
Wu Nian stepped down from the throne and gathered around the desk with the civil and military officials. Wu Nian held a small wooden stick and pointed at the map: "The entire Western Region is the territory of the Turks, scattered with large and small tribes. But they are generally divided into two groups."
"The first is the Ili Valley where the Turkic royal court is located."
"The second is the Jungar Basin where the Zuodu King's tribe is located."
Speaking of this, Wu Nian showed a sneer on his face and said: "The Western Region is so big. The population of the Turks is only more than one million, but it is divided into two parts."
"It's not that they don't know how to concentrate their efforts, it's just that they have no choice."
"There are many Gobi deserts in the Western Region, and the fertile water and grass areas suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry are few and scattered. They can only separate and nomadic, otherwise the Turks will starve to death."
"Their power cannot be concentrated, which gives us the opportunity to defeat them one by one."
"We will attack with cavalry first and go straight to Urumqi. If King Zuodu fights us, we will defeat him."
"If King Zuodu defends Urumqi, then we will surround him and provide reinforcements."
"If King Zuodu escapes, then we will occupy Urumqi and make camp every step of the way."
