Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1701 Father, your funeral is ready
Time flies, vicissitudes.

20 years ago, Li Jing was heroic and invincible. His prestige frightened China and foreign countries, conquered the barbarians, and achieved the great reputation of "Military God".However, time flies by like a fleeting moment. Now Li Jing has gray beard and hair and is very old. His era has long passed.

Fang Jun, Su Dingfang, Xue Rengui, Liu Rengui... one after another young people rose rapidly and thrived amidst foreign wars one after another.Even if Li Jing's reputation is still there today, if he really has the heart of disobedience, who will follow him?
Now that Li Jing is resigning, his official positions as Governor of Puzhou and Shangshu Youpushe (empty position, just a title, and the official position is Xiao Yu) will be resigned at the same time.

Even if Li Jing, who has no part-time job and is far away from the center, has great ability, can he still turn the world upside down?
What's more, His Majesty Li Er is sure that the current Li Jing has already smoothed out his hostility, and the resentment in his chest has gradually calmed down with the passage of time. The current Li Jing is just an old man who can't bear the peerless art of war. Bury with him in the earth to rot.

Serving as the great sacrificial wine of the lecture hall, not only fulfilled Li Jing's long-cherished wish, but also benefited the imperial military, why not do it?

So His Majesty Li Er put aside all suspicions and said grandly: "The world is so big, where can you go, Pharmacist Li?"

This sentence evoked infinite emotions in Li Jing's heart.

Once again he bowed to the ground, but no matter how hard His Majesty Li Er tried to support him, he did not get up.

There are two princesses on the side. Li Jing is a soldier, and he bleeds but not tears. He really doesn't want the two girls to see his tearful image...

His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder helplessly, not knowing what to say to comfort him.

With the sound of footsteps, Wang De walked up from downstairs quickly again. Seeing that Li Jing lost his composure, he hesitated whether he should go forward...

His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "You old slave really doesn't know what's going on, why are you so edgy today? I don't know what it means."

Wang De felt that he was wronged. Li Jing, who had not been out of the palace for more than ten years, came to the palace to have an audience. Now the whole Chang'an was probably shaken. You still let me, an eunuch, stay calm?

I thought, but it's a pity that I don't have that concentration!

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." His Majesty Li Er shouted.

Wang De bent down and bowed, and said cautiously: "That...the two sons of Duke Wei's family are outside the gate of the palace at this moment."

His Majesty Li Er was taken aback: "Why did the two of them come here?"

Li Jing secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, straightened up, and looked at Wang De.

Wang De hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Those two... are dressed in white, and there is a bare carriage behind them, standing outside the Chengtian Gate, unable to kneel, saying yes... saying yes..."

His Majesty Li Er became more and more impatient, and shouted: "Hesitate, speak up if you have something to say!"

"Here!"

Wang De was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Those two said they were... begging for bones."

Begging... begging for bones? !
Everyone in the hall was stunned.

After a long while, Li Jing blushed, covered his face and stomped his feet, and cursed: "These two useless bastards... this old man is completely ashamed!"

The two sons of affection think that they will never return when they enter the palace, so they come to collect their corpses...

His Majesty Li Er had a strange expression on his face, with a half-smile, looked at Li Jing, and said faintly: "The two young masters, Mr. Wei... are really filial."

Li Jing was sweating profusely, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the dog is stupid and ignorant, and neglects to discipline him. Such disrespect is really an unintentional mistake. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

This side has just been forgiven by the emperor, and all the grievances and grievances in the past have been wiped out, but the actions of the two sons are very likely to annoy His Majesty.After all, when Li Jing entered the palace, the two sons went to the gate of the palace to collect the corpse... Isn't this accusing the emperor of being a ruthless murderer?
How stupid!
If the emperor wants to kill him, he can easily find a hundred reasons over the years. Even if he really wants to kill him, he can't kill him in the palace!

Li Jing wished he could run out of Chengtian Gate right now, and catch his two sons with a hammer!
Looking at Fang Xuanling's son, and then looking at his own son, Ruoran's popular saying in Guanzhong really makes sense - giving birth to a child should be like Fang's last love!

What can His Majesty Li Er say?

Unhappy in my heart is for sure, does Lao Tzu look like a murderous emperor?But now that they have just settled their suspicions with Li Jing, they can't turn their faces right away, can they?
Gritting his teeth, His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "What did Duke Wei say, is he such a stingy person?"

Li Jing heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you Your Majesty, after the old minister returns, he will surely punish these two bastards."

His Majesty Li Er nodded, deeply convinced: "It should be punished properly, and it should be severe, just don't break it."

Li Jing was sweating profusely...

*****
Originally, it would be a pleasure to clear away the lumps that have been smoldering in his chest, but when he left the palace and saw his two sons in white, Li Jing really couldn't be happy.

The behavior of these two bastards is almost equivalent to declaring to the outside world that His Majesty the Emperor is a cruel, bloodthirsty and narrow-minded executioner...that is, His Majesty Li Er is very generous. Father and son are punished for a crime of disrespect.

Aren't you going to collect your father's body?
Okay, pack up, the three of you, let's go on the road together, so you don't have to worry about it...

Li Jing's old face was gloomy, but the two sons were overjoyed.

"Hey, dad, are you okay?"

"Hey, father, you scared your sons to death...Look, we have prepared the cart, even if the emperor condemns you, as sons, we have to collect your body even if we risk our lives..."

Li Jing's eyelids twitched, and the muscles on his face twitched. He gave the two sons a hard look, flicked his sleeves, and gritted his teeth, "Isn't shame enough? Let me go home!"

Many internal guards behind him are standing at the gate of Chengtian, and they must report the truth to the emperor later, but don't let the two sons play tricks, Li Jing can't afford to lose that person.

He ignored his two sons and boarded the carriage he had taken when he came.

The eldest brother, Li Dejian, slapped his forehead and yelled: "Oh, that's not good! Second child, you should go back to the mansion first. Before leaving, brother, I had already asked my family to prepare for the funeral. I'm afraid it's time to stop now. When everyone sees father going back with his whole tail in his hands, it might be a joke!"

Li Jing, who was boarding the carriage with one leg, almost fell off the carriage upon hearing the words...

The second son, Li De, heard this, and hurriedly said: "That's fine, I'll go back first, and you can go slowly with father!"

Immediately jumped into the bare carriage and yelled at the driver: "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go home first!"

"Snapped!"

The coachman took a whip and drove the carriage away.

Over there, Li Dejian saw his father stepping on the ground when he was boarding the car. He was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to support his father's arm, and said worriedly: "Father, please slow down. Those old arms and legs will suffer from a fall." No, don't let the emperor kill your head, you confessed yourself..."

Li Jing looked up to the sky and sighed, speechless.

What sin have you done?

It seems that all the aura of the Li clan fell on him, both civil and military talents are handsome, but the two sons are mediocre, dull and ignorant, God, you should give them the same...

*****
"Oh? Duke Wei is leaving the palace to meet His Majesty at the palace?"

Fang Jun met with Su Dingfang in the Yamen of the Ministry of War to teach him what to do after returning to Huating Town. As soon as they met, Su Ding conveniently broke such a big news.

Su Dingfang was pleased and said: "Duke Wei submitted the memorial to His Majesty, and His Majesty has already approved it, and agreed with Duke Wei's request to go to the south of the Yangtze River with the Prime Minister."

How could he be unhappy?

The emperor's move means that he will no longer be wary of Li Jing from now on. Although Li Jing relinquishes all his duties, he still has the title of Duke of Wei, and he can serve as the grand sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall, educating a new generation of generals for the empire. Do your best, as the saying goes, get what you want!
As Li Jing's former subordinate, Su Dingfang was naturally pleased that Li Jing was able to have today.

Fang Jun clapped his hands and said, "Before, I was afraid that Your Majesty would not allow Duke Wei to take up the post of Grand Priest in the Martial Arts Hall. Speaking of famous generals in the world, who would dare to claim that the art of war is superior to Duke Wei's? Now there is Duke Wei teaching the strategy of the young generals. , my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have not fallen for a hundred years, gratifying to congratulate!"

Both of them were happy for Li Jing to be forgiven by His Majesty. From then on, although the "Military God" of the Tang Dynasty could no longer lead the army to fight and make the enemy country fearful, he was able to shine in another position and live up to what he had learned in his life. .

It is also considered perfect...

"It will take some time for the Jiangwu hall to be established, and the general will return to Jiangnan tomorrow, just to go with Fang Xiang and Wei Gong. Does Erlang have anything to say?"

Su Dingfang asked.

"nature!"

Fang Jun sat up straight, pursed his lips, and said in a cold voice: "Those guys almost cheated me once, and it's not my style to not fight back after suffering a disadvantage! Come here with your ear, after you return to Huating Town, you should so and so..."
