Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 131 Leave
After Li Lijun sent the letter out, she speeded up her packing.

The elders of the clan who got the news either came to the door in person, or sent confidantes to greet her, and they all confirmed that she was really going to send her mother out of the city for burial, and stayed near her mother's grave to keep her filial piety.While comforting Li Lijun and persuading her to remember to go back to Chang'an City often, and to write to them frequently to tell them what's going on, they secretly scolded Li Dai, the successor king of the Sui Dynasty, for acting absurdly and hurting the child's heart in their own home.

They did not doubt Princess Dou's intentions.Unlike the servants in the Sui Palace who were partial to the successor Wang Li Dai, most of the female family members in the clan believed that Concubine Dou was a reliable character, just like thinking that the successor concubine Chen was also a generous and virtuous wife.The fact that Li Dai is alive and kicking there is enough to prove that Concubine Dou is definitely not a mean stepmother.Even if everyone has misunderstood her, after nearly 30 years, most people know it well.

During this period, Li Dai, the successor king, went home once.But he didn't spend the night at home, he only had a quick meeting with King Sui. The father and son closed the door and talked about something, so Li Dai left in a hurry.When he left, he had a brocade box in his hand, and his expression looked very excited. He didn't even notice that his wet nurse led people out all the way, wanted to talk to him but didn't catch up, and didn't care. He has to go up to see his children—even the eldest son who has always been loved and valued and the youngest son who has just "bereaved his mother", as if he has something urgent to do.

Li Lijun ignored her father's nurse's beating her chest and feet as if she had missed a hundred million, and went to ask Princess Dou, and confirmed that the Sui King only mentioned to Li Dai that the late daughter-in-law Chen was going to be killed on the "May [-]th" day. Zhao Chenji didn't mention the matter of sending his coffin out of the city.

Li Dai didn't care about his deceased wife's funeral at all, and left everything to his father's officials and servants, and it didn't matter if his daughter went to the funeral with her.His whole mind is on the new wife he is about to marry.Mrs. Guo Guo promised to be a matchmaker. It is said that she is a beautiful and charming daughter from the clan, and it is very likely that her surname is Pei!Li Dai wanted his father to help him find out which girl from the Pei family would be his wife?What about her appearance and temperament?What are the official positions of her father and brother?Holy Family Kolon?Is the dowry generous?
In order to ensure that this ideal marriage would fall on his head without any mistakes, Li Dai also asked his father for a few pieces of precious jewelry, which were all left by his mother during her lifetime.He planned to give these rare treasures to Mrs. Guo Guo as a matchmaking gift.

The King of Sui didn't want to take out the jewelry, but his son insisted on it, and he said it well, so he couldn't refuse.He is not willing to accept Mrs. Guo Guo as his daughter-in-law, and he has no objection to the daughter-in-law of the Pei family.He can still trust the Pei family's upbringing.If the son can really marry a good wife with a prominent family background, he no longer has to worry about his son's future.Therefore, after hesitating, he still took out the relics of his dead wife and handed them to his son.

Li Dai took the jewelry and walked away excitedly, not knowing that her wet nurse tried her best to report to him, but missed him again and again.

Li Lijun is very satisfied with this.Li Dai's report to King Sui happened to be reminded by little Gao Lishi.She knew that it was impossible for the Pei family to marry a daughter from the clan to Li Dai, but Li Dai even gave up the relics of his deceased mother.When Mrs. Guoguo had a showdown with him, she didn't know how he would react.

Li Lijun really wanted to stay and watch the show, but thinking of his important business, he still rushed to his mother's "May [-]th" day, took all his confidantes, bid farewell to grandparents, uncles, brothers and sisters, and left with his deceased mother's coffin Sui Palace.

When she was leaving, elder brother Li Jianrang helped his maid Cang Cui to see her out personally, he looked at her with complicated expressions, and spoke hesitatingly, as if he was ashamed.

Li Lijun just smiled at his elder brother, and didn't ask him what he wanted to say. He saluted, then turned and left.

She knew that this brother's nature was not bad, but he couldn't even decide his own future, and was always restrained by his family members and attendants around him. He didn't have a clear idea in his heart, so what could he talk to her about?It's not too late for her to have a good talk with him when he clearly realizes what he wants.

She has already confirmed that the toxins in Li Jianrang's body have basically been cleared out. He is not in good health right now, it's just the wind and cold caused by the change of seasons, and he can recover with more rest.The people around him will take good care of him, so she doesn't need to worry about this brother at the moment.Anyway, he would stay at home all the time, and when his father married a new wife and had other concubines, he would probably gradually realize how lucky he was to have a virtuous and loving stepmother.Some things, people always have to lose it before they know how to cherish it.

It was still Ding Wulang who sent Li Lijun on the trip.He has basically been tacitly regarded as the leader of Li Lijun's guard during his filial piety on Saga Mountain.His original position in the Sui Palace had been replaced, and his subordinates who got along well with him were also arranged to leave with him.If he used to be, he would probably be angry again, right?But now he is very calm.

Although there is no prospect of promotion, staying with Si Niangzi can save a lot of troubles. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.There are many unsatisfactory things about the princes of Lin Guogong's mansion. He is a small military officer from a small family, so why not be reconciled?
Today, Ding Wulang did his best to maintain the order of the funeral procession.He was originally Xiaowei's school lieutenant, although he was demoted, his own level is still there, and now he is leading the guards who have always been friendly with him, without stabs, so they all cooperate with him very much.Despite the large number of people in the funeral procession, it was not chaotic at all. They left Daozhengfang in an orderly manner, walked through Chunmingmen Street in front of Xingqing Palace, and left Chunmingmen in the east.

All the people I met on the road praised the orderly funeral procession of the Sui Palace, which was ostentatious without disturbing the people.

Shen Wangfu, who lived in Daozhengfang, set up road sacrifices next to Fangnei Street, and the road sacrifice sheds of Ning, Xue, and Qi's palaces were set up on Chunmingmen Street.After leaving the Chunming Gate, road sacrificial sheds of other clans and royal families were added on both sides of the road.

Li Lijun held the spirit tablet of his deceased mother Chen's family all the way, and followed the hearse in a carriage. Along the way, he met countless elders or peers of the royal family who came to condolences.She thanked them one by one, but the specific entertainment tasks were all done by the guard commanders Sima and Ding Wulang of the palace.Only the elders of the clan who are close to her will come to her. Someone asked why her father Li Dai was not in the funeral procession. Having already guessed the answer from her few words, they all sighed.

The reputation of Li Dai, the heir king, was once again hacked without his knowledge.

After leaving the Chunming Gate, Li Shen, Erlang Lord of Prince Zou's Mansion, followed with his team and became a part of the funeral procession.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't say anything to Li Lijun, so he just nodded at her, and then turned to discuss the specific arrangements for this journey with Sima and Ding Wulang of the Sui Palace.

When the funeral procession passed by the road sacrificial shed set up by Lin Guogong's mansion, Lin Jiulang also rode up to follow, walked to the side of Li Lijun's carriage and greeted her.

Li Lijun raised the corner of the car curtain and looked at his legs: "Your injury healed so soon?"

Lin Jiulang smiled: "You can't walk without crutches, but it's okay to walk slowly on a horse. Thank you so much that day. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to walk!" Then he lowered his voice, "I still want Thank you for your proposal that day... I, Aunt, have already received the order and will soon be appointed as the envoy of the Five Lingnan Prefectures."

What?Lingnan? !
