The East Palace is still so dilapidated. Compared with the Daming Palace, it looks like a private residence.
The prince's coffin was also moved from the palace and placed in a separate mourning hall.
Because paper money needs to be burned on a large scale, it is not appropriate to stay in the palace. After all, most of the palaces are made of wood. If it is lit, tsk tsk.
Entering the mourning hall, he saw a piece of plain clothing placed in the corner. Li Xian took it over without hesitation and put it on.
It's just a white dress, so there are so many bad things about it.
Xiao Dezhao and Yang Yi, who followed, saw that King Yong was even wearing plain clothes. Even Xiao Dezhao was too embarrassed to say anything more. It was already extremely benevolent for King Yong to come, let alone wear plain clothes.
Good moral character has always been respected by everyone. Filial piety is one kind, and so is reverence for brotherhood. Even someone as mean as Xiao Dezhao could only choose to shut up after seeing this scene. King Yong has great righteousness. Whoever dares to accuse him at this time will become a bastard.
After putting on his plain clothes, Li Xian walked to the coffin, burned three sticks of incense, pushed aside the eunuch who was burning paper money, and burned some paper money himself.
This is a good location. After nightfall, you can stay warm here.
After burning a few handfuls of paper money, Li Xiancai stood up and left, sitting on the brocade pier in the mourning hall, waiting for Li Yun's tea to be delivered.
After all, I have to stay up late, and without coffee, strong tea is acceptable.
The only pity is that there is no chair, otherwise his back would be more comfortable. If there is a table, he can use his god-level sleeping ability and blatantly fish.
Chairs actually originated from the Hu beds that were introduced to the Central Plains during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is still the period of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. You must know that it was not until the Mingzong period of the Tang Dynasty that "chairs" like chairs appeared, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that "chairs" appeared A seat appears.
Therefore, as long as you watch TV series about the Tang Dynasty, if there is something like a chair in it, there is no doubt that the director has not done his homework at all.
"Your Highness, what do you want for today's dinner?"
Li Xian was thinking about something when he suddenly heard a voice.
Looking closely and thinking about Li Yun's introduction, this guy should be Yang Yi, the crown prince's right concubine.
After taking a look at the coffin, especially the eye-catching buns in front of the coffin, Li Xian said: "Go to the imperial dining room, find the cook who specializes in cooking for my father, and order him to steam a drawer of steamed buns with plain fillings and send them over. In addition, , and then send someone to the Zou family wine shop to get two jars of new wine in the name of the king. I plan to have a drink with the emperor."
At first, Yang Yi was unhappy when he heard King Yong asking for wine, but he felt relieved after hearing the last sentence.
Even if it was an excuse, he accepted it.
After turning around and giving instructions to several eunuchs, Yang Yi dragged Xiao Dezhao over and had a lot of nagging thoughts.
But when the two of them got closer, they realized that there seemed to be nothing to talk about.
Sensing Yang Yi's embarrassment, Li Xian took the initiative and said: "Before night falls, it would be boring for us to just stay here. I think back then, the emperor's brother lived alone in the East Palace, and later I went to the fiefdom to become a vassal, so for the emperor's brother I don’t know that well. Since you two are concubines, I think you can tell me some things about your royal brother.”
It would be too inappropriate to talk about anything else in the mourning hall, so it would be better to talk about the prince.
Li Xian took the initiative to speak, and Yang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing King Yong motioning for him to sit down too, he moved a Jindun over, sat on the Jindun and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness has very little contact with His Highness the Crown Prince. It's really... What a pity! You must know that His Highness the Crown Prince also likes learning. At the beginning, Guo Yu was ordered to teach His Highness the Crown Prince to study the "Spring and Autumn Annals of the Zuo Family"."
"When he read the story of Chu Shizi Mi Shangchen who killed the king, His Highness couldn't help covering up the book and sighed, 'No minister can bear to hear such a thing. The classics of sages should record good deeds that set an example for future generations. Why should this be recorded?' Guo Yu replied: 'Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals and recorded both good and evil deeds in order to praise good deeds in order to admonish the public, and to denounce evil deeds in order to warn future generations. Writing down the evil deeds of Mi Shangchen made his crimes notorious for thousands of years.' "
Seeing Yang Yi talking about this matter, Xiao Dezhao couldn't help but answer: "Later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said: 'Not only can I not talk about this kind of thing, but I also can't bear to hear it. Please let me study other books instead.' After hearing this, Guo Yu praised the prince's benevolence and immediately changed his teaching to the Book of Rites."
"It was only after this incident that the reputation of the prince's benevolence and filial piety spread. The world only thought that this was a boast made by us for His Highness the prince, but they did not know that this incident actually happened, and the prince's Nature is indeed like this."
Li Xian nodded and remembered what happened to King Chu Mu.
How should I put it? In the eyes of Yang Yi, Xiao Dezhao and others, this matter is a treasonous thing. However, if you look at this matter yourself, you feel that although King Chu Mu did too much, it can be called a decisive killing. .
You must know that King Chu Mu was the crown prince at the time, and King Chu Cheng was old. Changing the crown prince at this time would not guarantee that his fate would be miserable. Among those who stand on the moral high ground and give advice to King Chu Mu, if they experienced what happened to King Chu Mu, how many of them would be able to kill someone at the slightest provocation?
Of course, I couldn't say this to the two people in front of me. If I really said it, I'm afraid my end would be absolutely worrying.
Sighing, Li Xian said: "The benevolence and filial piety of the emperor are not as good as mine. You must know that I have also studied the Chunqiu Zuo family, but I have not reached the level of empathy. It seems that I will have to offer a toast to the emperor later. "
Seeing what King Yong said, Yang Yi and Xiao Dezhao both smiled back. Although Prince Li Hong is dead, he is their old master after all. Moreover, it is obvious that Yong Wangxian will become the new prince and future emperor. Only if King Yong really respects Tai Zi Hong, can the temple name of Tai Zi Hong be maintained in the future.
The two of them, who had the same thoughts, started chatting and started telling Li Xian about Tai Zihong's various deeds like pouring beans through a bamboo tube. Although Li Xian kept smiling and listened the whole time, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. Li Hong sweated.
If Li Hong really succeeds and becomes emperor, I'm afraid his experience will be similar to that of Li Xian and Li Dan.
Neither Wu Zetian nor the future Princess Taiping is a fuel-efficient lamp. Li Hong said he was Renxiao, but he was actually a soft-hearted person. In this way, facing two female Tyrannosaurus rexes, as well as countless ambitious people in the government and the public, Wu Zhou might have arrived early.
When Li Zhi was alive, he could still maintain the fortune of the Li family and suppress the ambitions of some people. He belched, tsk tsk...
