Chapter 816: Li Hao's Funeral

Just when Li Hao and Fan Lihua arrived at this isolated island, an expedited military newspaper had already been transmitted from Weihaiwei to Chang'an, and finally to Li Zhi's Long case.

After Li Zhi looked through the content of the memorial, his smile gradually froze on his face, his whole body became stiff, and the memorial slipped from his hands and fell on the table.

Seeing this, Xu You, the eunuch next to him, hurried forward and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Without a response, Xu You was worried and called out: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Your Majesty? Your Majesty..."

No matter how he shouted, Xu You was extremely anxious and wanted to touch Li Zhi, but he didn't dare to say so, so he could only shout: "Transfer to the Imperial Doctor!"

"No need." Li Zhi suddenly leaned on the dragon chaise, pinched the temples on both sides with his right hand, and his palms blocked his forehead and eyes.

Xu You has served Li Zhi for three or four years and naturally knows Li Zhi very well. He saw that Li Zhi must have seen some bad memorials and was in a bad mood at this moment.

Xu You hurried forward and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, our Tang Dynasty is now extremely powerful, and anything can be solved."

In his opinion, what can make Li Zhi feel bad is nothing more than natural disasters and man-made disasters. However, with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, no matter what natural disasters and man-made disasters can be easily calmed down. Things that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Li Zhi continued to cover his face and said, "Everyone retreats, Xu You, you retreat too! Let the Jinwu Guard outside the hall retreat too!" His voice was very cold, a little terrible.

"Yes!" Everyone took the orders and retreated. Li Zhi was immediately left in the Ganlu Palace, and even the Jinwu Guard outside the hall retreated more than fifty feet away.

Li Zhi slowly dropped his right hand, and saw his eyes red and tears were filled with tears. Tears were like rivers breaking through the dam, thrusting out of his eyes, and he could not stop it.

"ah--"

"ah--"

"ah--"

Heart-wrenching crying came from the Ganlu Palace, almost roaring.

Li Zhi had never cried, but he had never cried so sadly and so heartbreakingly. Even if his father passed away that year, he would just kneel down and cry. After all, his father died, and he had already been mentally prepared.

Li Hao was in his prime of youth and was his best and only friend. He was suddenly swallowed by the sea. He could not accept this fact. He felt that his heart was stabbed. If he didn't cry, he felt that he would go crazy. But he was the king of a country. He had to maintain supreme majesty in front of others, and could not cry easily, nor could he cry so undespicable. So he held everyone back, then cried out loud and roared heartbrokenly. The grief in his heart needed to be vented.

The next afternoon, Li Zhi's imperial edict was passed to Li Hao's Lantian Villa. The imperial edict said that Li Hao encountered the Shanghai disaster on his way to Japan, and was buried in the sea with General Fan Lihua. Then he praised his achievements and conferred all his wives and concubines as first-class imperial edicts. Li Hao was posthumously appointed as Duke of Qiong and his fief of Qiongnan. He had a minister in charge of Qiongnan and inherited the power of the government and political affairs of Qiongnan. He buried Li Hao's tomb with Zhaoling. Li Hao's portrait replaced Hou Junji and entered Lingyan Pavilion, ranking the head of the twenty-four heroes.

This series of rewards has basically exceeded the scope that this era can bear. The most extraordinary of them is to participate in the political affairs of Qiongnan and hereditary. This is almost the rhythm of being a vassal king, so there is no military power. Moreover, there is no such thing as hereditary title in the Tang Dynasty.

Logically speaking, this imperial edict could not be approved by the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, and the Secretary of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the Party without hesitation. Liu Shi knew that Li Hao and Changsun Wuji were political enemies, and he hated Changsun Wuji, so he naturally wanted to help Li Hao. So since the emperor asked to write this, he wrote it like this, and Mou Gao, who was in the School of the School of the School of the School of the Party, approved the imperial edict without hesitation, opening a green channel for it.

When the imperial edict arrived at the Secretariat, he naturally had to pass the Changsun Wuji level. However, Changsun Wuji actually agreed, because he was so happy that Li Hao died. How could he be unhappy? No one could threaten him from now on, but after he was happy, he felt a little sad again.

Although he is selfish, he also has the intention to plan a country. He recognized Li Hao's talent. He naturally felt a pity that the Tang Dynasty suddenly lost such a talent. This psychology is very contradictory. In fact, the situation that Changsun Wuji hopes most is that Li Hao can be at home safely and steadily, and it is best to be under his wings and obey his orders, but he also knows that this is impossible.

Li Hao's death made Changsun Wuji sigh. Overall, he was happy. After all, his relationship with Li Hao was very stiff and he was already an enemy. If the enemy died, he should be happy.

As for this imperial edict, he was not too difficult, and he would be resentful when he died. Li Hao once called him Uncle Changsun, just as he regarded it as the last gift to Li Hao. In his impression, the place like Qiongnan was just a place with poor mountains and bad waters.

After receiving this imperial edict, most of Li Hao's family members collapsed. Qin Su cried several times, while Tolando was unwilling to believe that Li Hao was killed. She cried and shouted that she would go out to sea to find Li Hao. In her words, she would see people alive and corpses alive. Elena and Gulina wiped tears without any idea. Zhuoma looked at the sky every day and shed tears secretly.

Only Li Ping did not cry, and he had to manage the entire family to comfort all the sisters' emotions. At the same time, he sent a message to Shi Najie, asking him to continue to manage Li's business well, and not to be distracted. At the same time, she asked Lu Yun to go to Liu to find Wu Lei, suspend all maritime trade in the Li Group, and send all the sea boats out to find Li Hao. She didn't believe that Li Hao would die so easily.

Li Ping was very strong in the eyes of his family and gave everyone confidence. However, when she returned to the room at night, she curled up on the bed with a quilt in her arms, crying like a child.

In Youzhou, Xue Rengui received the news of Li Hao's death. He was drunk that night and cried all night. Early the next morning, he put on ordinary people's clothes, left his post without permission, left Youzhou, and rushed to Chang'an.

In the direction of Qinghai, the Qinghai Guard General Peng Hai received the news of the death of Li Hao and Fan Lihua. He climbed to the head of Qinghai Weicheng and looked in the direction of Chang'an. Tears fell. He picked up a glass of strong wine and sprinkled it at the city. He said sadly: "General Li, General Fan, two heroes of the world, go all the way!"

The funeral was being held for Li Hao in Lantian Villa. The new Minister of Rites came. After sautumn in front of the mourning hall, the Minister of Rites asked Li Ping for the armor and weapons that Li Hao wore during his lifetime, because he had to bury Li Hao's tomb with Zhaoling in accordance with Li Zhi's request. Li Hao had outstanding martial arts skills and shocked the world. Since he had set up a tomb of clothes and tomb, of course, it was better to use armor. According to the meaning, Li Hao could protect Emperor Taizong when he arrived in the underworld.

Li Ping took out the set of armor given to Li Hao by Li Shimin and a knife that Li Hao had used before and asked the people from the Ministry of Rites to take it away.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and Qin Qiong came to visit. Li Hao was their most favored nephew, even closer than his nephew. Now that Li Haoheng was in trouble, his family naturally became a problem. After the three dukes were incense in front of the mourning hall, Li Ping brought other sisters and children to pay the gifts.

The three kings looked at the women and children wearing mourning clothes and felt very uncomfortable. Qin Qiong took the lead and said, "Dear nieces, Shi Kuang is my favorite nephew of Qin Qiong, not worse than his own son. If you have any difficulties or be bullied in the future, come and tell Qin. As long as Qin still has a breath, you will never be wronged!"

Li Ji also said: "The words of Duke Yi Guo are also the meaning of Duke Lu and I. Although the Shi Kuang is gone, his family is like our family. Even if the three of us fight this old bone, we will protect you."

Li Ping nodded gratefully: "Thank you three uncles."

Li Tu and Li Hao's children also saluted and said in unison: "Thank you three grandpas."

Cheng Yaojin stroked Li Tu's head lovingly, and looked at Li Hao's spiritual statue, tears couldn't help falling. Qin Qiong and Li Ji also had red eyes and forced them to hold them back.

Someone came to burn incense again. This time it was Cheng Chumo. Cheng Chumo is now running around for many years and managing business. This time he heard about Li Hao's death and rushed back in a hurry. Before he could go home, he saw his father here, and both of them were stunned.

"Dad! Uncle Qin! Uncle Li!" Cheng Chumo stepped forward to pay homage.

Cheng Yaojin nodded, made way out, and said, "Flame incense for Shi Kuang first!"

"Yes!" Cheng Chumo stepped forward to burn incense to Li Hao, looked at Li Hao's portrait, and thought about how interesting it was when he was strong in Li Hao. It was Li Hao who allowed him to start his career and find the direction of his life. But now, Li Hao is still so young, so he died young. He turned his back to everyone and quietly wiped his tears.

After wiping away his tears, Cheng Chumo came to Li Hao's little house and saluted each other. Cheng Chumo said, "My younger brothers and sisters, I won't say anything about the condolences. To be honest, I don't believe that Shi Kuang was dead. I know him very well. He is an omnipotent person. Even if he falls into the Nine Nether Hell, he can climb out. Now our Cheng family also has a fleet. In this year, we have no business at sea, so we send a boat out to find Li Hao."

Li Ping nodded and said, "Thank you, my husband is really his blessing to be sworn in you."

Cheng Chumo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. It is my blessing to be able to know the poetic maniac."

Someone came in one after another, including the Minister of the Shangshu’s right servant, the Minister of Personnel Sun Bowang, and the Minister of the Jung-secretariat Mou Gao...

This group of civil officials came, with a total of eight people, and each of them was a senior official of the third rank or above. These people either admired Li Hao or had kindness to them, so they had to come.

Then, the generals, Niu Jinda, Su Dingfang's nephew, Li Yuanzhong, Zhidu's power came...

At noon, a heavyweight came, and Wei Zheng came.

Wei Zheng's arrival shocked the ministers because Wei Zheng had never been to court since Wu Meiniang entered the palace, and Mou Gao rarely bothered him with government affairs. Many people had not seen him for several years. Unexpectedly, he would come to attend Li Hao's funeral. It can be seen that Li Hao was also very popular with Wei Zheng.

In the afternoon, a person who was even heavier than Wei Zheng came, and Li Zhi came.
