Chapter 374: Who is the final winner 4 Li Siye's eldest son, Li Zuoguo, wore linen and filial piety, and handled the funeral in the house.
Although the relatives and friends of the Li family were cut off, and the old man was humiliated by the defeat of the army, the funeral could not be left undone, no one came to mourn, and the descendants of the Li family expressed their condolences themselves.
The former hustle and bustle of the Mansion of the Kingdom of Yu is now a gloomy fog, and mourning is everywhere.
After receiving a report from his subordinates that Chang'an was waiting for Kong Sheng to come to the mansion to offer condolences, Li Zuoguo was stunned at first, and only after a long time did he order his servants to open the middle door and personally come forward to welcome Kong Sheng into the mansion.
Kong Sheng stood at the door of Li Siye's mansion, staring at Li Zuoguo, who was dressed in sackcloth, and several brothers and sisters came out with a sad face, so he took two steps and stepped forward to bow his hand slightly: "I am waiting to hear the bad news, and I have come to worship the Duke of Qiu."
Li Zuoguo burst into tears: "Thank you Chang'an" The so-called seeing the truth in times of tribulation, under the premise that the magnates of Chang'an City avoided Li Siye's family, Kong Sheng took a major political risk to come to mourn, which in itself is not only a gesture, but also a kind of lofty righteousness, to a certain extent, representing the affirmation of Li Siye by public opinion.
This is what Li Zuoguo cares about the most.
Kong Sheng silently returned the salute, he took a piece of white silk from the hands of the servants of the Li Mansion, tied it around his waist politely, and hurriedly followed behind Li Zuoguo and went straight to Li Siye's mourning hall set up in the front yard.
Li Siye's wife and children knelt down on the side, mourning endlessly, Kong Sheng's face was solemn, he took a deep breath and bowed to Li Siye's spiritual seat three times.
Worship with a big bow.
After Kong Sheng finished the salute, he bowed and said: "The Duke of Yu Guo is a famous general in the world, and Kong Sheng has been looking up for a long time.
Gong Xiao is brave and good at fighting, loyal to the country all his life, and takes the lead every time he goes to war, invincible, and repeatedly makes military exploits.
He successively defeated Xiaobolu, Shiguo, Dashi and other countries, defeated the rebels many times, and recovered Chang'an and Henan and Hedong counties.
Moreover, Su Wen Gong is an honest official, and he never buys family property, and his name is not far from the heroic spirit."
Kong Sheng's words of worship roughly described Li Siye's life's achievements.
Although Kong Sheng only represented him personally, Li Zuoguo and others were grateful and wept silently.
Li Zuoguo and other descendants of the Li family never expected that Chang'an Hou Kong Sheng, who had never been in contact, would be so familiar with Li Siye's experience and achievements, compared with them, the Li family's best friends and powerful relatives in the past should be ashamed.
Kong Sheng took a deep breath, looked away from Li Siye's spiritual position, and bowed to Li Zuoguo and other family members: "Kong Mou is now entering the palace to face the saint, and he should do his best to ask for the meritorious name of the Duke of Qiu."
Li Zuoguo fell down in tears, so moved that he almost fainted from crying.
Li Siye's family has no contact with Kong Sheng, it can be said that they are strangers among strangers, Kong Sheng not only went to the house in person to mourn, but also said that he wanted to correct Li Siye's name in front of the emperor, whether successful or not, this is a friendship that cannot be described in words.
"Chang'an Hou treats the Li family so with such high righteousness and kindness, the old body is grateful, and bids farewell to the Hou Ye" Out of gratitude and touch, Li Siye's widow Xue personally led the family out of the house, facing Kong Sheng's floating back, and bowed.
Kong Sheng sighed softly, turned around and waved his hand, and then disappeared around the corner of the street.
He has no friendship with Li Siye.
It's just that Li Siye is a famous general of the Tang Dynasty that he admires, a hero in the true sense of the word, and he worships after Li Siye's death, which is actually very simple for him.
As for the political risks, he didn't think much about them at all.
In fact, there is no risk, the emperor is now in a state of rage because of the defeat of Xiangzhou, but after that, the emperor will definitely give Li Siye a basic explanation In Kong Sheng's opinion, the emperor is not a fool, the defeat is defeated, but the counterinsurgency is not over, and the soldiers of the three armies are still needed to fight bravely Outside the Lin De Hall of Daming Palace, Li Jiao and others stood in the square in front of the palace, the sunset of the sun spread with a faint afterglow, the whistling northwest wind swept by, the fallen leaves in the palace were flying, the winter temperature in Chang'an City was extremely low, although these courtiers were wrapped in thick fur, but they couldn't stand waiting outside for too long, and they were all frozen.
Many people rubbed their hands and stomped their feet, complaining.
The emperor was in the palace, but he was reluctant to summon the ministers, and there was only an edict for the ministers to stand outside the palace.
Li Jiao took the lead and stood up, and when he saw Li Fuguo coming back in a hurry, he raised his eyebrows, and took two steps forward and said in a deep voice: "Provincial Supervisor Li" Li Fuguo had to stop, turned around and bowed to Li Jiao with a smile: "I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu" "Provincial Eunuch Li hurriedly left the palace, could it be arranged by His Majesty," Li Jiao asked tentatively.
Li Fuguo's eyes flickered, he vacillated between Li Li and Empress Zhang, and did not really join Li Li's faction.
But the current situation shows that the Zhang family has no advantages, the two sons born to the Zhang family are still young, and they have no merit and prestige, and the court has no foundation, it is impossible for the emperor to pass on the crown prince's position, and the probability of Li Li being appointed as the prince is constantly increasing.
Considering the emperor's suspicion and precautions against him, and afraid that Yu Chaoen, a thorn in his eye, was watching behind his back, Li Fuguo finally made up his mind at this moment.
When the mind is decided, the natural attitude changes.
He took two steps back, bowed down to Li Jiao, smiled and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty is angry, and you are in the hall."
The miscellaneous family went out of the palace to ask Chang'an to wait for Kong Sheng, and asked His Royal Highness to prepare early. ” A hint of joy flashed in Li Jiao's eyes.
Li Fuguo's posture undoubtedly shows that he has taken refuge.
At this critical moment when he was competing for the crown prince, Li Fuguo's refuge as the head of the palace and a popular close minister beside the emperor was of great significance.
At least, Li Fuguo's defection is of irreplaceable value for Li Jiao to grasp the movements in the palace and obtain a lot of information about the emperor.
"Provincial Eunuch Li, my father summoned Kong Sheng into the palace" Li Fuguo snorted: "Your Majesty sent a fire, sent down Yu Chaoen, and sent the miscellaneous family out of the palace to pass Kong Sheng into the palace, as for His Majesty's intentions, the miscellaneous family does not dare to speculate, and please forgive Your Highness." ” "So, where is Kong Sheng?"
Li Jiao said in a condensed voice.
Li Fuguo smiled bitterly: "Chang'an Hou ignored the dissuasion of the miscellaneous family, passed by Li Siye's mansion, and if he had to go to mourn, the miscellaneous family would go back to the palace first to report to His Majesty." ” Kong Sheng went to mourn Li Siye Li Jiao's long eyebrows trembled, but he waved his hand silently: "Li Provincial Supervisor, please take care of yourself" Li Fuguo bowed his hand to Li Jiao, and then hurriedly entered the hall.
In the Lin De Palace, Li Heng stood alone on the imperial platform, a black shadow flashed behind the curtain of the beams and pillars, Li Fuguo stepped forward quickly, and bowed down under the Danqi: "Your Majesty, Chang'an Hou Kong Sheng is on the way to the palace, temporarily go to Li Siye's mansion to mourn, and he will arrive soon."
The corners of Li Heng's mouth twitched: "Xiangzhou was defeated, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers died in Huangquan, and even Li Siye, a brave general in the world, died in front of the battle, breaking my arm."
The loyal ministers of the country died on the battlefield, but among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there was only one Kong Sheng to mourn Li Siye, which made me very cold."
"These people, I know that I don't need to see them in front of me, I know what they are going to do, it is nothing more than a group of crusades, putting the responsibility for the defeat on Guo Ziyi and these people, and then falling into the well, trying to fish in troubled waters."

Li Heng's cold voice echoed in the empty hall for a long time, Li Fuguo was shocked, the emperor's attitude had changed more than Fang Cai, he had the heart to go out of the palace to inform Li Jiao, but he didn't dare to move.
At this time, Yu Chao Enbi respectfully walked into the hall and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has conveyed His Majesty's edict to the King of Chu and other ministers, and asked the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to go to the Hanyuan Hall to wait." ” Li Heng nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Yu Chaoen, you can step aside." ” Yu Chaoen didn't dare to hesitate, immediately bowed, and then left the Lin De Hall backwards.
Li Fuguo listened to it on the side, and his heart was even more shocked.
Why did the emperor pass on the edict again, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military changes to Hanyuan Hall Anyway, it is just a matter of discussion, Lin De Hall is just right, why bother with this What does the emperor mean by this At this time, Li Fuguo suddenly realized that he originally thought that he knew the emperor's thoughts well, but now when he was figuring out the emperor's thoughts, he was confused about the emperor in front of him, he seemed tired and weak, but in fact it was unfathomable Li Heng glanced back at Li Fuguo, his gaze contemplative.
Li Fuguo bowed his head in a panic, not daring to face the emperor's faintly aggressive majestic gaze.
Li Heng suddenly chuckled: "Fuguo, you are an old man who has followed me for many years, and you have been by my side since I was the crown prince back then, and I have suffered you all these years."
For you, for the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids who shared the hardships with me back then, I have never forgotten it for a day. ” Li Heng's voice was a little emotional.
Li Fuguo was terrified when he heard this, and bowed down in fear, he couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do when he suddenly mentioned this stubble.
If it's just a simple memory and emotion of the past, it's okay, I'm afraid Li Heng talked about the past to himself.
His situation when he was the crown prince is difficult to describe in words, anyway, he is in a state of anxiety, although he is nominally the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but he has no power in his hands, and he is always worried that he will anger the emperor and be abolished.
From the moment he was thrust into the political forefront, Lee Hyung was surrounded by obvious political threats.
The threat first came from Prime Minister Li Linfu, and later Yang Guozhong, etc., all kinds of threats, all kinds of traps, and all kinds of frames have been surrounding Li Heng, two major cases, two marriage changes, one after another.
Wave after wave, wave after wave, all directly related to his own personal safety, Li Heng suffered huge physical and mental trauma, and his spirit was greatly stimulated.
It was not until An Lushan's rebels attacked Chang'an and brought disaster to the world that Li Longji fled from Chang'an in a hurry, which brought Li Heng an opportunity.
The fate of the sad prince is therefore not extremely Tailai.
In the difficult years when Li Heng was the crown prince, many people sacrificed for him.
And there are not many survivors now.
Li Fuguo is one of them.
Li Heng stared at Li Fuguo, who was sincerely frightened in front of him, and the trace of unbearability in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he suddenly chuckled and said: "Fuguo, you choose the opportunity to gather the old man of the East Palace and send him to the palace, I will be rewarded." ”oshow7 t1706231537:
