"Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
He was about to raise and lower his hands seriously, but Wang De hurried in...
Li Shimin and Long Yan were furious!
"Wang De, if you don't give me a suitable explanation today, are you going to pour night fragrance?"
Wang De was confused.
It seems that the Zajia came at the wrong time.
but……
"Your Majesty, news has just arrived from Dai Mansion."
Wang De said anxiously: "Dai Shangshu just passed away!"
What?
Li Shimin stood up in shock.
Wear a helmet. (Zi Xuanyin)
Xiao Yu, the left servant, was dismissed from office, and Feng Deyi, the right servant, died of illness.
Dai Zhou was ordered to be in danger and was sent to become Shangshu Zuocheng, taking up the post of Shangshu Province!
Zuo Cheng is known as the most competent minister since the founding of the People's Republic of China!
In the third year of Zhenguan, he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Before his death, Du Ruhui asked him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!
An official holds the position of two ministers at the same time!
It can be said to be the first of its kind in history!
"Go to Dai's Mansion..."
Li Shimin suddenly lost his mood, and quickly turned around: "Mr. Guanyin, I will go to Dai Mansion first."
"Your Majesty's state affairs are important."
Changsun Wugou smiled understandingly.
at the same time.
The news of Dai Zhou's death swept through Chang'an like a hurricane.
The whole Chang'an was shrouded in sadness.
Many ministers rushed to Dai Mansion.
"See Your Majesty!"
As soon as Li Shimin stepped into Dai Mansion, many ministers greeted him.
Li Shimin ignored it.
He walked straight to the inner hall with a sullen face.
Inside, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and other ministers were already listed.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Wei Zheng and others saluted again.
Li Shimin still ignored it and looked at the dead Dai Zhou, his eyes slightly red.
"Dai Aiqing..."
Li Shimin shouted softly.
"Keming is gone, Feng Lun is gone, and now Dai Aiqing is gone too."
Li Shimin was a little sad.
As his ministers passed away one after another, he would be lying if he said he was not sad.
He is also afraid.
I'm afraid that one day I will be like that.
"His Majesty!"
Wei Zheng bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Xuan Yin has passed away. I sincerely request your Majesty to grant him a posthumous title!"
"well."
Li Shimin sighed: "I really don't like to pursue titles. Once I pursue titles, it means another minister has passed away."
"Birth, old age, illness, death, and reincarnation."
Fang Xuanling bowed and said: "Xuan Yin's life is worthy of heaven and earth. It is complete."
Li Shimin glanced at the ministers, and finally turned his attention to Dai Zhou's relatives.
Dai Zhou has only one daughter.
Not even a son.
But there is an heir, the son of brother Dai Zhou.
"Dai Aiqing worked hard for the Tang Dynasty. As his heir, you should be proud of Xuanyin..." Li Shimin said to Dai Zhide.
"I am determined to inherit my father's legacy and serve the Tang Dynasty till my death!"
Dai Zhide was dressed in filial piety and bowed respectfully.
"Um."
Li Shimin nodded: "Xuan Yin handles dramas in a complex manner, handles all tasks, is straightforward in nature, handles matters as they arise, and avoids nothing..."
"In memory of Xuanyin's sincerity, he was posthumously awarded the title of Minister Youpu She, posthumously named the Duke of the Tao Kingdom, and given the posthumous title of Zhong."
As Li Shimin finished speaking, Dai Zhide bowed again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The advantage of the posthumous title is that the heirs can inherit the title from the posthumous title.
For example, if Dai Zhou is a county prince, he should be demoted one level to inherit the title.
If Dai Zhi succeeds, he will be the county official.
But after the title was granted, Dai Zhou became the Duke of the country, and the one Dai Zhide inherited became the Duke of the county.
This is another reward for heroes.
"Dai Aiqing has been poor all her life..."
Li Shimin saw that the house was simple and there was not even a place for worship.
"Xuanling."
"I'm here!"
"The decree was passed and the Ministry of Industry was ordered to hurry up and build a temple to worship Dai Aiqing."
"promise."
Fang Xuanling went out to make arrangements.
Li Shimin stayed in the inner hall for a long time, and did not leave until the curfew was approaching.
Just before leaving...
Li Shimin made another decree.
Stay away from court for three days.
The night passed in silence.
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
Royal study room.
Li Shimin was not in a high mood, and he was really not in the mood to deal with state affairs.
"Xuanling, has everything been arranged?" Li Shimin asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, arrangements have been made."
Fang Xuanling bowed and responded: "Xuan Yin lived in poverty during his lifetime, so he will leave in glory!"
"good."
Li Shimin became lonely again.
"His Majesty……"
Seeing that Li Shimin was not in high spirits, the smart Cheng Yaojin stood up again: "Since you are done with the court for three days, why not go and relax?"
Relax?
An angry look appeared on Li Shimin's face: "Xuan Yin just passed away, how did you say such a thing?"
"I didn't mean that."
Cheng Yao's golden eyes rolled: "Your Majesty cares about your ministers, and I am moved."
"But when I look at Your Majesty, my eyes are red and swollen, and my face is haggard..."
"I just hope that His Majesty can get over his grief as soon as possible."
Li Shimin remained silent.
"If Your Majesty is depressed, it will only make the ministers panic."
"The court still needs your Majesty, and the people still need your Majesty."
Cheng Yaojin saw that it was effective and continued: "I thought no one would say anything if your Majesty went to relax."
Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded.
"no."
Li Shimin flatly refused again: "I left the palace just after my minister passed away. Doesn't it seem that I am ruthless and unjust?"
"Not to mention that the people will scold me, and even the officials in the court will not agree."
The minister doesn’t agree?
Are you talking about Wei Zheng?
Cheng Yaojin complained silently in his heart.
"His Majesty."
Cheng Yaojin replied with a serious face: "Xuan Yin died of illness, and there is no elder in charge of the family."
"It just so happens that Wei Zheng and Xuanyin have a good relationship."
"I suggest that Wei Zheng help take care of it as an elder."
Um?
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.
"Or not!"
Li Shimin refused again and said: "I am the king of a country, how can I lose my ambition by playing with things!"
"His Majesty."
Cheng Yaojin said solemnly: "This is not a loss of all things, this is called a combination of work and rest."
"No, no, no..."
Li Shimin shook his head repeatedly: "Xuan Yin just passed away, I can't do this!"
"Your Majesty, your eyes are red and swollen, and your face is haggard. If you don't rest, I will worry about your dragon body."
"For the sake of the Tang Dynasty."
"For the sake of His Majesty's dragon body."
"I once again implore Your Majesty to relax appropriately!"
"If anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks, I am willing to take full responsibility for it!"
Seeing that Cheng Yaojin was determined.
Li Shimin's heart was moved.
Dai Zhou made contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but it was a great favor from the emperor for Li Shimin to visit him in person.
There is nothing to do after three days of work...
"What do Xuanling think?" Li Shimin turned to look at Fang Xuanling.
"..."
Fang Xuanling was speechless.
There are only three of us in the imperial study room, and there is one Wang De.
Are you two speaking so righteously?
"I have no objection." Fang Xuanling bowed.
Um?
Li Shimin showed a dissatisfied nasal tone.
"I think what you say about moral integrity is reasonable."
Fang Xuanling said against his will: "Your Majesty is deeply saddened by the loss of his beloved minister and is in a bad mood..."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to temporarily put aside state affairs and relax your mood."
Um.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.
"Since the two beloved ministers came together to remonstrate, then I should indeed listen to the remonstrance."
"Ahem...
Li Shimin coughed: "Do you have any arrangements for Zhijie?"
