Wei Zifu is reborn

The death of the emperor is a matter of great grief for the whole country, especially when the person who died was a wise king. Although Emperor Jing was not a wise king through the ages, he did not do anything wrong during his tenure, and it also made people's lives miserable. able to eat and feed.

This day is the day of Emperor Jing's funeral. After his death, the Empress Dowager ordered the princes to rush to Chang'an as soon as possible, and asked Qin Tianjian to choose a suitable day for the funeral. Today, it happened to be like this day.

General Li Guang put on the suit of armor that he would only wear when there was a war or a major accident, and entered the palace.

"Hey, old general, why are you here?" Dou Wei quickly greeted him. Since Dou Ying "suicide" in prison, Dou Wei has taken over Dou Ying's position. As the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, his duty is to protect Palace security and checking the identity of everyone entering the palace.

Li Guang frowned. In the final analysis, Dou Wei was brought up immediately, so he was still a little lacking in composure and always had an impetuous temperament, but he still replied: "My Li family is loyal and good. The late emperor held the Li family in high regard, and now that the late emperor has passed away, if I don't come, I will be afraid of being criticized by others, does Lord Dou think this is the reason?"

Dou Wei smiled and said: "The old general is right, but who is this one?" Dou Wei glanced at a man who was also wearing armor behind Li Guang. His appearance was covered, so he couldn't see clearly at all.

"Do you want me to take care of who I bring into the palace?" Li Guang said solemnly, "He is just my subordinate. Today is the day of the late emperor's funeral. As long as it is the people of the Han Dynasty, everyone will suffer for it. Maybe you think Can't even bring someone in with my identity?"

"Don't dare," Dou Wei cupped his hands. Although Li Guang has long since ceased to serve the country, his majesty still exists, "Since it was the old general's idea, how can I prevent the old general from entering, please. "

Li Guang brought a person in. Dou Wei turned his head and looked at the figures of the two people who were drifting away. He shook his head, but he brought only one person. A person who enters the palace.

"Old general, are you ready?" Liu Che asked in a low voice.

"Prince, please rest assured that the ministers have made all the arrangements. Those generals are also loyal and good generals. Their hearts are all towards the prince, and there will never be any changes."

"That's good."

Liu Che followed Li Guang all the time, and because he looked very low-key, he didn't attract too many people's attention.

"Old General," the two hurriedly caught up, and one of them walked straight up to Li Guang and made a warm gesture, "I tell you, I will never admit my mistake. It turns out that it is really Old General Li. Why, what are you wearing today?" Is this suit intended to be used on the battlefield again?" The man who appeared to be five or sixty years old asked out of breath with the support of the person beside him.

Li Guang looked at the person, and was also a little strange: "Who am I? It turned out to be the king of Huainan. Today is the day for the emperor's funeral. I think I, Li Guang, have been on the battlefield all my life. I retired when I was old, but today I plan to Do your best to guard the door for the emperor one last time."

"Oh, that's how it is," King Huainan nodded, "The old general is indeed a general who can scare the Huns. He really has courage. I really can't compare it. Look at me, although I am younger than the old general, I am physically fit. But it's getting worse and worse, it's really not as good as the old general."

"My lord was joking," Li Guang raised his hand, "Your lord is a lord, I'm just a courtier, how can I compare, but my lord came all the way from Huainan, this heart is really touching .”

The Huainan King hadn't answered Li Guang's words, but the young man standing beside him spoke up: "His Majesty the Emperor is dead, no matter how far we are, even if we are in Yumen Pass, we must rush over here without stopping, let alone other people. All the princes are here, if only the father is not here, people will gossip, not to mention that this time the queen mother personally gave the order." The voice of the young man was very clear, not like a man's voice at all.

Li Guang also heard it, but when there was no confirmed news, he still asked cautiously: "So this is the son of the prince, but I don't know who it is, but this spirit is very good, and he is stronger than ordinary people." good."

"Hahaha," King Huainan laughed suddenly, "I hope this is my son, but it's a pity that I cast the wrong girl."

"Father, what's wrong with being a daughter, what a son can do, a daughter can also do." This is naturally Liu Ling, the daughter of Huainan King, and at this time she pushed Huainan King, her tone was full of dissatisfaction and coquettishness .

"It turned out to be a girl. I heard that King Huainan has a daughter who is similar to his son. She is both civil and military, and very courageous. I have seen it." Although Li Guang is stubborn most of the time, he is not inflexible.

Hearing Li Guang and Liu Ling's words, King Huainan's smile deepened, but he didn't intend to continue on this topic: "Old General, I'm sorry, I almost forgot, the queen mother let us go, then we will take our leave first. "

"Then the prince should go first, the queen mother's summoning is the most important thing."

The king of Huainan took Liu Ling away, Liu Che raised his head, but saw Liu Ling turned his head back as if he had realized something, and then turned his head and left in an instant, Liu Che was relieved.

Listening to Liu Che's exhalation, Li Guang asked curiously, "Is the crown prince familiar with that child?"

Liu Che smiled slightly: "It's just that they always played together when they were young. It's not worth mentioning. It's just that people can change so quickly when things change. The fastest change is probably the human heart. No one can predict the station." Is the person opposite you the one you knew before?"

Li Guang nodded his head, he was also deeply aware of this point.

Seeing Li Guang's thoughtful expression, Liu Che smiled again: "Old General, let's go."

"Yes, Prince."

Liu Che was still following Li Guang, turning his head, looking at the direction Liu Ling was going, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, King Huainan, and Liu Ling, since you want to rebel, I will naturally give you this chance, but it depends on you How did you do it?

The mourning hall has already been set up, and Li Guang's arrival has caused many people present to discuss, but they are only surprised by the armor on Li Guang's body, and then they started to do their own things.

Empress Dowager Dou came late, but the people following her were King Huainan and Liu Ling, and of course, King Liang.

"The humble minister joins the queen mother, the queen mother is auspicious."

"Get up," Empress Dowager Dou said with a sad look on her face, "today is my poor son's funeral, so you don't need to be too polite, but after today the throne will be empty, as the saying goes, a country cannot live without a king for a day , I don’t know what you guys think?”

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager," Tai Shiling stepped forward first, "There is no objection at this time. The first emperor appointed the crown prince while he was alive, so the next emperor will naturally be the crown prince. Only in this way can the officials and the people submit. "

"What you said is also polite," Empress Dowager Dou nodded slowly, "It's just that Tai Shi ordered you not to notice that there is one person missing today, but my grandson didn't come."

"Here," Tai Shiling looked around, but he did not find Liu Che, "Didn't it mean that the prince has been studying hard in the palace recently? Why didn't he see the prince?"

"Alas," Empress Dowager Dou sighed, with even more grief on her face, "It's also my fault. I didn't take good care of him and let him slip out of the palace. Something happened. Now I not only lost a son, but also lost a son. I have a grandson."

"Empress Dowager, please express your words clearly." Tai Shiling looked at a bewildered face, and wanted to know the truth of the matter.

Empress Dowager Dou took out a finger wrench from her bosom and put it on Emperor Jing's coffin: "This is the relic of my poor grandson. Ai's family also sent people to investigate, and they found news near the Yellow River. It is said that a group of people The Xiongnu soldiers were raging there, and many people were missing, and one of them had this finger in his hand."

"How is it possible, no, nothing will happen to Che'er," Liu Che's mother, who was still the queen at this time, rushed over to take the finger puller, then slumped on the ground with a painful expression on her face, which was more real than Queen Dowager Dou , "It's really Cher's stuff, how is it possible, Cher said he would come back."

And Empress Dowager Dou looked at her expression, and she became more convinced that Liu Che had died. If Liu Che was still alive, she would never hide it from her mother. After she became more determined, she took out the most important thing : "Fortunately, the emperor changed the imperial edict when he was still alive, please read it through Taishi Ling now."

"The imperial edict?" Taishi Ling was taken aback, then took the edict from Empress Dowager Dou, opened it, and opened his eyes wide when he saw the words on it, "It is passed on to King Liang? How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Empress Dowager Dou was slightly dissatisfied with Tai Shiling's surprise, "Liang Wang is also my son, they are two brothers, the son is gone, why is it strange to pass the throne to the only younger brother, Tai Shiling, I just want you to read it out and read it to the big guys, and also, to verify whether the jade seal on it is real or not, not to make you question the content of the imperial edict."

Taishi Ling was silent, and then slowly read out the content of the imperial edict, and then said: "Queen Mother, although the jade seal on it is indeed real, but the handwriting is not the late emperor's, I only hope that the Queen Mother can give you a reasonable explanation. .”

"What's so strange about this?" Empress Dowager Dou turned her head to look at all the people present, "Everyone knows that the emperor was critically ill before his death, and he couldn't use his hands at all, so he read this edict, and I will do it Is it okay for the queen mother to write on behalf of you?"

"Grandmother, can you let Pingyang say something?" Pingyang came out suddenly, "It is true that I told Grandmother the news about my brother, but if I remember correctly, the day after I told Grandmother the news, Father He passed away, and at that time, I am afraid that there is still no conclusion about the life and death of the younger brother, why would the father pass the throne to the uncle when the younger brother still has a chance of life?"
