Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 83 That Strange Woman Is Gone

At the beginning of March, Luo Yan went to the farm in Wanshou County to cut up the exchanged potatoes and prepare them for sprouting.This time, of course, a few confidantes selected by Li Shimin followed to observe, so Luo Yan simply explained the following things clearly.For the past ten days of Pei Ya, these people have been watching carefully.

A few days after Luo Yan returned to Qingping Temple, Cui Ying hurried over.This time Cui Ying invited Luo Yan to attend Princess Pingyang's funeral together.

Although Luo Yan also knew that Li Xiuning would pass away this month, he still felt a little regretful when he heard the news from Cui Ying himself.

Princess Pingyang died of illness.Luo Yan is not clear about the specific disease.And even if Luo Yan knew about the disease, there was nothing he could do about it.There is no medicine in the system that can be exchanged, and Luo Yan himself is not a good doctor.

Li Xiuning is only 27 or [-] years old now.And just go away.Just in her early twenties, she dared to risk her life alone to stay in Chang'an and organize rebels against the Sui Dynasty.Leading the army many times, the momentum was like a broken bamboo, and successively captured Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping.

In just a few months, Li Xiuning was able to gather [-] troops under his command. Even a veteran like Qu Tutong had suffered defeats under Li Xiuning's hands.With tens of thousands of troops under his command, he is willing to be called the "Women's Army" by others.

Li Yuan's daughters are not rare, but Li Xiuning is unique.No matter what she paid for Li Yuan or the treatment Li Yuan gave her, none of the other daughters could compare.

It was such a strange woman who eventually passed away due to illness in her beautiful years.

Luo Yan was very regretful that he did not meet this Princess Pingyang with his own eyes.He has seen heroic female soldiers in his previous life, but such a talented and courageous woman who has been on the battlefield is the only one in the feudal society, how can Luo Yan not regret it.Compared with the female soldiers of later generations, she is too special.

After a long silence, Luo Yan simply packed up his things, greeted the master Xu Zhi, and then got into Cui Ying's carriage and returned to Chang'an.

Luo Yan did not go directly to Lu Deming's house as usual.After entering Mingde Gate, Luo Yan rejected Cui Ying's request to stay, got out of the carriage, and walked towards Prince Qin's mansion.

No matter before or now, Luo Yan is not eligible to attend Li Xiuning's funeral.But he didn't want to watch the entire funeral process like an ordinary citizen.He had his own ideas and wanted to see Li Xiuning off in person.

At this moment, the court has already decided what to do with Li Xiuning's funeral.Li Yuan directly buried Li Xiuning with a military ceremony, which caused an uproar in the court.For some old-fashioned officials of the Ministry of Rituals, a woman's burial cannot be used as advocacy, let alone a royal person.

Li Yuan was directly angry: "Advocacy is military music. In the past, Princess Pingyang always went to the battlefield in person, took the lead, beat the drums and sounded the gold, and advised military affairs. From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a woman? Why not bury the princess with military ceremonies? "Li Yuan's words spread throughout Chang'an that day.

Many of Li Xiuning's subordinates were moved to tears when they heard what Li Yuan said.The common people in Chang'an even talked a lot, applauding Li Yuan's actions openly and secretly.Li Xiuning has been living in seclusion since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially in the past two years, he has been staying in the princess mansion due to his poor health, so people's impression still stays on the heroic, intelligent and courageous lady Li.

When Luo Yan heard Li Yuan say this, he also felt a burst of emotion.It is true that Li Yuan was not a qualified emperor, and was forcibly forced down from the throne by his own son.But as a father, he is definitely qualified.Can't bear two sons killing each other, but chose the wrong way to deal with it. Probably, this is also a kind of sadness of becoming an emperor.

However, when handling Li Xiuning's funeral, Li Yuan did a great job.

Walking to the door of Prince Qin's Mansion, Luo Yan found that the place was already covered with a piece of vegetarian.

The friendship between Li Shimin and Li Xiuning is very good.Li Xiuning and his wife were both under Li Shimin's account back then, so the siblings had a lot of contact.Although Li Shimin has been fighting abroad in recent years, while Li Xiuning has lived in Chang'an for a long time, the family relationship will not be lost because of these.

Goodbye to Li Shimin, apart from the exhaustion on his face, Luo Yan also saw the indelible sadness on his face.The gorgeous clothes that he usually wears have also been replaced by plain clothes at this time, his eyes are red, although Luo Yan can't see any traces of tears, he must have cried.

"My condolences, Your Highness." Luo Yan didn't have any more comforting words to say, or rather, he didn't know how to comfort him at all.The relationship between Li Shimin and Li Xiuning cannot be understood by someone like Luo Yan who has never even seen Li Xiuning's face, so how can we talk about comfort?

After waving his hand, Li Shimin signaled that he had no problem, and then asked Luo Yan: "Is there something wrong here? How is your life on the mountain recently?" Although he still had great grief in his heart, Li Shimin did not ignore Luo Yan because of this. Yan.

"Everything is fine. I am here to attend Princess Pingyang's funeral." Luo Yan replied very calmly.

"Oh? On the day of the funeral, Emperor Father didn't set up any guards, so you can just go there, you don't need to ask me." Although Li Shimin was a little puzzled, he still told Luo Yan tirelessly.After all, there is no need to tell him about such a simple matter, as long as the people in Chang'an can basically go.

"I'm not talking about the spectators. I want to be the tiger in the guard of honor." Luo Yan made it clear this time.

Li Shimin turned to stare at Luo Yan, and Luo Yan stared back at Li Shimin unceremoniously.

"Can you tell me why?" Li Shimin didn't understand Luo Yan's actions.

"The valiant and heroic eight-foot spear, the dawn first shines on the military field. The sons and daughters of the Chinese people have great ambitions, and they don't like red clothes but arms." Luo Yan didn't feel ashamed at all, and directly copied Mao's poems.In his mind, Li Xiuning also deserves such praise.

Li Shimin was moved by a poem like Luo Yan's.Before he could speak, Luo Yan went on to say: "Man like me may not be able to do that kind of thing. She is a weak woman, but she has done things that thousands of men can't do. Such a strange woman, I only regret that I didn't meet her before she was alive. Let me make up for this regret with my most sincere respect."

After speaking, Luo Yan looked at Li Shimin, quietly waiting for Li Shimin to express his opinion.

A tough choice.

Li Yuan watched Li Xiuning's funeral very closely.Basically, everything needs to be reported to Li Yuan by the Ministry of Rites.This is Li Yuan's last bit of love for his daughter.

Therefore, Li Shimin had to ask Li Yuan for instructions on Luo Yan's matter before making a decision.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan agreed.There was no need to discuss this matter with those in the court, Li Yuan simply agreed to Li Shimin's request, and even temporarily added Luo Yan as a centurion of the Imperial Forest Army.In this way, the mouths of those ministers were also blocked.

On the day of the funeral, the people of Chang'an City spontaneously followed the procession to send the spirit away.After Luo Yan's body was systematically strengthened several times, there was basically no pressure on the bright light armor worn by Huben and the weapon he held.Following the advocates in front, these tigers walked silently.

Many people in public are from Li Xiuning's old department.Because of the requirements of etiquette, these people were asked not to shed tears, let alone cry out loud.For them, grief can't be vented presumptuously, it can only be replaced by pain.

Luo Yan watched with his own eyes, and a man beside him gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, and the veins on his face and neck were exposed.But there were no tears, no sound, just mechanically followed the team.There are many others like this.

Luo Yan couldn't do what they did, but he also had a stern look.

At the funeral, Luo Yan also saw the legendary house slave general—Ma Sanbao.

The relationship between this guy and Li Xiuning was completely born out of fighting together in the war.Ma Sanbao is much older, about 30 years old.Because it was a military salute, this one was also dressed in military uniform, with a plain uniform outside.The sadness on his face was no less than Li Shimin's.

Luo Yan remembered what later generations said about this crush Li Xiuning.But quite understandable.

Although Li Xiuning and Chai Shao got married very early, but after Li Yuan raised his army, it was Ma Sanbao who helped Li Xiuning the most.The army that Li Xiuning had just formed with Hu merchant He Panren as his family was acquired by Ma Sanbao somehow.In the future, to protect Li Xiuning on the battlefield, these two people will stay together longer.

Therefore, some people in later generations said that this person was depressed because of Li Xiuning's death and died early, which is not unfounded.

The funeral ended in mourning, but Luo Yan and the others, as guards of honor, still had to endure the grief and do everything well.Li Yuan is gone, Li Shimin is gone, the civil and military ministers are gone, and so are the people watching.At this time, the funeral is over.

However, when most people's onlookers ended, the grief of a small group of people had just begun.Among these tigers, at this moment, they were finally able to stop holding back, and whoever it was, after leaving Li Xiuning's tomb, finally couldn't help but let out a "wow" cry.

A few men ignored the bright light armor they were wearing, sat on the ground and started crying.Obviously, the corners of these people's mouths were more or less bloodshot.This is the result of gritted teeth while enduring grief along the way.At this moment, I finally didn't have to bear it any longer, the jaws loosened, and the blood contained in the mouth naturally flowed out.

Some people who were not from the "Women's Army" did not leave alone. At this time, they may not have too much sadness, but they cannot abandon their comrades.Just standing quietly under the setting sun with these crying, child-like men.

　In the third watch, code words after waking up.Thank you Da Chenzi under Jianglang Mountain for your reward.
