"I, King Li Yuanjia of Han, King Li Yuangui of Huo, and King Zhuang Li Feng... pay homage to the saint and pay homage to the Queen of Heaven!"
The kings of the clan, as well as a number of important officials of the imperial court, bowed down and worshiped at the same time to see the Emperor and Queen!
Emperor Li Zhigao sat on the dragon throne, and sitting side by side with him were the Queens Wu Zhao and Wu Zetian.
On the steps, King Yong Li Xian, King Li Xian of England and Prime Minister Li Dan stood on one side at the same time. A little lower down was Left Prime Minister Liu Rengui!
"Uncles, brothers, and dear friends, please be safe!" Li Zhi's gentle voice came from above.
"Thank you, Saint, thank you, Queen of Heaven!" Li Xuan stood up solemnly. He was now sitting slightly behind the crowd and his eyes dropped at the foot of the steps.
"Uncles and brothers, you have worked hard all the way. I have asked people to prepare a luncheon. At noon, I will entertain all uncles and brothers with the queen!" Li Zhi's voice was very relaxed, as if there was no trace of the current rumors between Luoyang and Chang'an. worried about the widespread rumors.
"Thank you, Saint, thank you, Queen of Heaven!" Everyone present bowed at the same time, and the atmosphere couldn't help but be slightly stunned at this moment.
At this moment, an elegant purple-robed figure walked out from among the kings. When Li Xuan saw it, he saw that it was Huo King Li Yuangui.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly condensed slightly, and all faces became serious.
Li Xuan looked at King Huo Li Yuangui and frowned slightly. It's not like that. He is going to attack so early!
"Saint, Queen of Heaven!" Li Yuangui stood in the center of the hall, with his hands arched, and said solemnly: "The prince is benevolent and filial, and the world respects him. Therefore, before entering the capital of the gods, Brother Han, as well as all the king's brothers, king's nephews, and entrusted ministers wrote I wrote a memorial to commemorate the prince, and asked the saints and queens to preview it!"
With that said, Li Yuangui took out a memorial from under his body and handed it to Wang Fulai, the leader of the eunuchs next to him!
Wang Fulai took it, then held it up with both hands and handed it to Emperor Li Zhi and Queen Wu Zhao who were sitting on the dragon throne.
Wu Zhao took it directly, opened it, looked slightly surprised, and then handed it to Emperor Li Zhi.
Li Zhi just glanced at it briefly and then heard Huo Wang Li Yuangui continue to say: "The prince has a kind nature and a pure heart of filial piety. He abstains from extravagance and waste. The leaves on the ground are green and green, and he passes by Ziju. The color is covered by the light, and the voice is broken in the morning. Follow the immortals to travel far away, frost and snow are born with sorrow, and I respect the foundation of martial arts; I move to the guest's carriage, heaven and man are reincarnated, and my respect lasts forever..."
Among the kings of the clan, King Li Yuanjia of Han was the eldest. His mother was born in the Yuwen family and had a distinguished status. However, in terms of reputation, King Huo Li Yuangui was undoubtedly the eldest.
At that time, Wei Zheng once evaluated Huo King Li Yuangui, calling him "elegant in classics", and finally married his daughter to Li Yuangui.
Standing behind Li Xuan, Li Xu, the eldest son of King Huo, was born in the Wei family. He was well-educated in his family, had excellent poetry, and was good at calligraphy, painting, and music.
This was just a memorial. Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly relaxed a lot.
At this moment, I suddenly heard King Huo Li Yuangui continue to speak: "... I received a letter from the prince in March, saying that he was not feeling well. I never thought that within ten months, he would have fallen ill and died, and returned to his destiny. It’s a pity for my clan, a pity for the Tang Dynasty, and a pity for the world! Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven also ask for their condolences!”
I felt unwell in March and became seriously ill in April, so I just let nature take its course.
"Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven, please express your condolences!" Everyone present subconsciously bowed collectively and cried out in deep mourning!
Almost most people present were unable to react to King Huo Li Yuan's sudden change, and they just bowed and saluted along with the crowd.
Among the people present, only one person moved more than a beat slower, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.
Although everyone else was a little confused, no one was as obvious as he was.
All the keen people present noticed his anomaly, including Li Xuan, Li Yuangui, Li Yuanjia, Hao Chujun, and Liu Rengui.
The same includes the Yong Wang Li Xian, the British King Li Xian and the Prime Minister Li Dan standing above, not to mention the Queen Wu Zhao and the Emperor Li Zhi.
Li Xian, Li Xian and Li Dan were just a little surprised, but the man quickly blended in with everyone else and didn't look the same at all.
But the expressions of Wu Zhao and Li Zhi were extremely gloomy for a moment, and then extremely indifferent, and all their expressions disappeared without a trace.
King Zhuang Li Feng.
Huo Wang Li Yuangui's sudden move really shocked a lot of people, but the one who was really most surprised was Zhuang Wang Li Feng.
Among the twenty-two sons of Emperor Gaozu, King Li Yuanjia of Han was the eleventh son, the twelfth son King Peng Li Yuanze and the thirteenth son King Zheng Li Yuanyi died of illness, and King Huo Li Yuangui was the fourteenth son.
Zhuang Wang Li Feng was the fifteenth son. It was precisely because Huo Wang Li Yuangui stood in the center of the hall to perform the music without any obstruction in the middle that the Zhuang Wang Li Feng's expression was clearly revealed.
Shock, surprise and disbelief were like a bolt from the blue.
Obviously, King Zhuang Li Feng is the one who is most suspicious of the cause of the prince's death among the kings of the clan, and he is also the one who has been jumping up and down the most actively.
Now, King Huo Li Yuangui's presentation has directly confirmed the death of the prince from illness.
Regardless of the fierce debate between the government and the public, the royal family, the kings, and the officials in the court all unanimously believe that the prince died of a serious illness, and there will be no more objections!
"Everyone is safe!" Li Zhi stretched out his hand, and everyone present stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan also stood up straight and never looked at King Zhuang Li Feng again.
In fact, no one is looking at Zhuang Wang Li Feng now.
Because everyone knows that he is finished!
King Huo Li Yuangui stood in the center of the hall, cupped his hands, and continued: "Sage, Queen of Heaven, I know that your majesty buried the prince in Luoyang for the sake of the common people in the world, to do light corvee and relieve the world. However, is there something wrong with the prince guarding Jingshan alone? Loneliness, please ask the saint and the queen to reconsider whether to bury the prince in the Zhaoling Mausoleum to show his filial piety!"
After saying this, King Huo Li Yuangui knelt deeply on the ground. At the same time, all the princes and princes of the clans present knelt down and shouted in unison: "Please saint, the Queen of Heaven will reconsider your thoughts and show the filial piety of the prince." !”
Li Yuangui finally showed his prowess, and the unanimous actions of the princes and princes showed that they had discussed it before!
Although Li Xuan was a little slow, she still knelt down along with the current.
The faces of Li Zhi and Wu Zetian above them both darkened at the same time, and they felt very troubled for a moment.
Neither King Huo nor King Han clearly believed in the recent rumors among the government and the public that the prince had been raped.
The prince's physical condition can be hidden from everyone in the world, but it cannot be hidden from the clan and royal family like them.
In the past few years, everyone who came to Beijing to see the Crown Prince had to go to see the Crown Prince Li Hong. The Crown Prince's health was already in poor condition, and coupled with the involvement of the government, it was even worse.
Being able to survive to this day is a fluke, so not many people take those rumors seriously.
What Li Xuan was asked by King Huo Li Yuangui at the palace gate was already an explanation to the kings.
It's a pity that King Zhuang Li Feng only wanted to make trouble, but he never expected that he would be tricked like this!
However, when Li Yuangui asked these words, Li Feng's expression suddenly perked up.
Everything else is just rumors, but no matter what, the clan has the right to intervene in the matter of burying the prince in Luoyang.
Li Zhi and Empress Wu felt the same difficulty, and filial piety was just one reason for being buried in Zhaoling, but leaving the prince alone in Jingshan made even them intolerable.
Of course, Li Hong was buried in Jingshan. Of course, he could not be the only one. There were countless ministers, subordinates, and slaves buried with him.
But this cannot be compared with the Zhaoling burial in any case. After all, there is not only Emperor Taizong, but also countless royal family members, important ministers and generals. There is a world of its own underground, which is not much better than being buried alone in Jingshan.
Li Zhi said thoughtfully: "What Uncle Wang said is indeed true. I can't bear to leave Hong'er alone in Jingshan. It's just that the government's finances are insufficient..."
At this moment, Wu Zetian reached out and held Li Zhi's hand. Her eyes fell on Li Xuan: "King Nanchang, you and Hong'er have always had a friendly relationship. What do you think of this matter?"
Li Xuan suddenly raised his head, his face full of astonishment!
