After smoothly handing over the military power of Beiya, and seeing that all his children and grandchildren are rich and prosperous, Li Xiaogong passed away with a smile. A minister like him can show off his power in the world before his death, and his descendants will be under extraordinary shadow after death.

What is there to be dissatisfied with?

After hearing that Li Xiaogong passed away that night, Li Chengqian was very emotional. Such a leader of the country and the pillar of the clan died on the sick bed after the ruthless years passed away. It had to be lamented, so he specially issued an edict to suspend the court for three days as a sign of his death.

Mourning.

The next day, in the evening, Li Chengqian summoned Wei King Li Tai, Jin King Li Zhi, Fang Xuanliang, Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou, Zhang Xingcheng, Gao Jifu, Wang Zhi and other important ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall. He first listened to the report on the rotation of military supplies, and then

What was being discussed was Li Xiaogong’s funeral.

"Everyone, before we talk about the death of King Hejian, I would like to ask you to read the memorial inscription first. I stayed up all night to write it. See if there is anything inappropriate, so I can change it!"

, Li Chengqian pointed to the case next to him and motioned for everyone to move to the side to take a look.

Said: Xiao Gong is the clan member of the Tang Dynasty. He is also the son of King Huai of Xiping. Fang Gaozu conquered the four directions and pacified the world. He made great contributions to Hejian. He can be said to be the benchmark of the clan. Walking along Bashu, those who surrendered looked at each other. Everyone looked at each other.

Please kill him, Xiaogong will consider it at your own discretion. If you surrender, kill him. Whoever is willing to surrender again will besieged Xiao Mian, and the town of Mian will be destroyed.

Captured the warships and released them all over the river. They said that the rescue was over, so they did not dare to take action. Knowing that they had advanced further, they had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. The Duke of Auxiliary rebelled, and the soldiers invaded Danyang.

, the auspiciousness of conferring head...

Seeing that all the ministers had no objections to the inscription, Li Chengqian nodded, and then began to say: "Everyone, King Hejian has great achievements and is the invincible military god in our Tang army. His death is not only a loss to the court, but also a loss to the clan.

, the lonely heart is both sad and painful."

"Come on, tell me what to do after his death!" After speaking, Li Chengqian picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Senior ministers all understand that Li Xiaogong's contribution is not only the above-mentioned, but also the secret contribution. I am afraid that only the emperor and the prince know how much it is, so it is not unexpected to be given considerable mourning and honor after his death.

"The Spring and Autumn Annals said: The Yuan Dynasty is still the original one. Since it is the Yuan Dynasty, the King of Hejian is not only a noble relative of the clan, but also a high-ranking member of the Yuan Dynasty. He has fought in the north and south throughout his life and has made many military exploits. The veteran thought that he should be given the posthumous title of "

"Yuan" to show its merit."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Du Ruhui immediately took over the words: "As for the official title, I have discussed it with several people below and decided to pursue him as Sikong - Governor of Yangzhou - Prince of Qi County. I don't know what His Highness thinks."

The chief officer Du Ruhui mentioned was very particular. With Li Xiaogong's qualifications, it was reasonable for him to be appointed to the position of one of the Three Dukes; the Governor of Yangzhou was because of his contribution to pacifying half of the south of the Yangtze River.

As for the title of Prince Qi, it is because Li Xiaogong's fiefdom was there during his lifetime, and it is common practice to use the fiefdom as the title after his death, so this is a fair decision.

However, Li Chengqian was not satisfied with such a posthumous title. For no other reason than it was too low, so he shook his head and then said: "My uncle has not only contributed to the country, but also to the clan. Such a posthumous title is too light."

Yes. Do you think so, Qingque?"

Hearing the prince call his name, Li Tai immediately stood up, leaning on a walking stick, and said respectfully: "Back to your highness, my brother is indeed a little thinner. My uncle is different from others. He should not only be judged on his merits, but also on his merits."

In terms of sentiment, I think so."

Li Tai's idea is very simple. His posthumous title should be Prince Zizun as King Qi, and his official position should be Taiwei, Yong, and Governor Yang. This is not only to take into account his contribution to pacifying Jiangnan, but also to commend him for his role in Zhenguan.

A day of hard work and dedication.

As the number one hero of the Tianjia clan and the only military god in the army who can be equal to Li Jing, such a posthumous title is appropriate and not an exaggeration at all.

"What Qing Que said is exactly what Gu Yi said. The King of Hejian is the elder and Gu's uncle. He is good to Gu and all his brothers. With this kind of friendship, it is just right to give it to a prince, Gu Yi!" After saying that, Li Chengqian casually said it.

He picked up a piece of fruit and threw it to Li Tai as a reward for his advice.

Before Fang Du's bosses could express their opinions, Gao Jifu stood up and objected: "Your Highness, what King Wei has is a bit unruly. Side clans are not only not found in our dynasty, but are very rare even in other dynasties."

"I'm not saying that King Hejian's contribution is not great enough. After all, this etiquette system is a etiquette system. If you destroy the laws of your ancestors without authorization, how can you sincerely convince the ministers of the dynasty!" Gao Jifu did not say anything, but he believed that even if

Even before he finished speaking, the prince knew what it meant.

According to the etiquette system, in today's Tang Dynasty, only the late emperor and the emperor's son can be crowned princes, and the others have no status. Before the grandson was enthroned, he was a county prince, and several others were also county princes. Could it be that

Is Li Xiaogong more noble than the prince's son?

Besides, hasn't the prince already rewarded several of his sons? Forget about Li Hui and Li Chongzhen. They have made many military exploits over the years; the others have not made any achievements, and they were all promoted to the title of Duke, regardless of their legitimate concubines.

This is already a great grace.

As a minister, it is extremely rare to get so much from him. Even if Li Xiaogong is still alive, he should be satisfied. How much is too much. Do the sons left by the late emperor have fuel-efficient lamps? The prince is so

Damn it, these idle guys haven't come out to make noise.

"That's right, what Ji Fu said is true. There is no rule without rules. The state has national laws and the family has family rules. It is absolutely correct to abide by the rules. Regardless of national laws or family rules, King Hejian has no reason to pursue the title of prince.

", Zhang Xingli immediately stood up and seconded the proposal, with an extremely serious look on his face.

If it were any other matter, both of them had said it, and Li Chengqian would have considered it, but this matter is different today. This person is dead, and he is still the number one general of the Li family. Is this a small matter? Li Chengqian would not criticize him at all if he did this.

If you can't afford it, then stop jailing this country and give your place to those losers who only know how to eat, drink and have fun!

"Two Qings, listen carefully. What I'm talking to you now is a private matter, not a business matter. King Hejian is not only the governor of Beiya, but also Gu's uncle. Do you understand?"

"Zhongshu Province issued an edict to posthumously posthumous King Hejian as King Qiyuan, Taiwei, Yong, and Governor-General Yang. King Wei, King Jin, King Changping, and King Nanping supported the coffin, and Gu personally presided over the memorial ceremony." After speaking, he was angry.

The bulging Li Chengqian walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

The prince got angry and the scene became ugly. Several people in the palace shook their heads and sighed. It is true that Gao Jifu and Zhang Xingcheng were the emperor's confidants, but they should not serve the prince with the same attitude of serving the emperor.

Even though the father and son are very similar in many aspects, they are not the same person after all. What works for the emperor may not work for the prince, especially when it comes to matters involving the royal family.

Li Xiaogong gave his three eldest sons to the prince in the first year of Zhenguan. They also contributed a lot to the prince when he was young. This is a big favor. The prince is a person who values ​​feelings. No matter who stops him, he will return the favor to someone else.

, all looking for scolding.
