Chapter 1073 Funeral
After flirting with the queen, Zhou Ying'er was really thin-skinned and could not stand the emperor. She could only lower her head shyly and dared not respond.
And, at this moment, Tian Fu suddenly broke in and bowed:
"Your Majesty, there is news coming from below that Cheng Ge Army governor, Han Lingkun, has died of illness..."
"Han Lingkun?"
Li Jia was surprised, then stood up, and suddenly remembered that what Han Lingkun was leading was the Chengde Army. According to the policy, the person took office but did not take office, and the specific local affairs were taken by his subordinates.
The Chengde Army was located in Zhenzhou, north of Hebei and east of the Northern Han Dynasty. It can be said that this was the northern border of the Khitans and was crucial.
Therefore, even if Han Lingkun just takes office but does not take power, Li Jia cannot slacken. This person is a powerful general in the old imperial guards and Zhao Kuangyin's confidant.
Han Lingkun fought south and north. In the seventh year of Chengde Army, there was no war in the north. Although the sleeping king was more important, it also highlighted his ability.
Of course, the man knew the truth, so Li Jia immediately rewarded him with a viscount and him, and gave him some money, which was considered to be a redemption of power.
Now that he suddenly heard of his death, Li Jia sighed and asked, "Why did he leave? How old are you?"
"The imperial doctor's words died of illness due to an attack on the back of the cervix at the age of forty-six."
"Baria?" Li Jia muttered, and then said: "This disease is actually very simple, but it will cause death when it attacks."
The so-called back ulcer generally refers to the back ulcer and the back ulcer. It is the person who causes carbuncles on the body and has corn-like sores, which is commonly known as back ulcers.
For example, Fan Zeng, Zong Ze, Xu Da, etc., who were famous in history, all died because of this.
In fact, for modern people, squeeze out the cervix and apply some ointment to heal, but for the ancients, without the help of antibiotics, cervix is like a terminal illness.
Gradually, I was in pain and waited for death.
For generals, it is more likely to suffer from cervix.
If you don’t take a bath frequently, you will sleep when you are wearing armor. Dust and hair penetrate into the skin, and some fire poisons and dampness and heat catalyze, it will become a terminal illness.
However, although Li Jia knew, she couldn't treat her. After all, he was not a chemist. How could he do antibiotics?
"The inner treasury took out two thousand guan of money to mourn and posthumously awarded him as the lord of Zhenzhou. His son inherited the baron in sequence. In addition, he stopped court for three more days to show his condolences."
Li Jia sighed. At the age of 47, he was indeed a little young. Then he thought of something and continued: "Allow military envoys from all over the country to return to Beijing to participate in the funeral. As for his posthumous title, let the Zhengshitang draft it!"
"Here--" Tian Fu responded quickly, turned his head and went to pass the order, leaving Li Jia alone, and fell into deep thought.
If we follow the standards of later generations, 47 did die young, but it seems normal now.
Han Lingkun has become a grandfather, and he has several grandchildren. He has enjoyed wealth and glory for most of his life. Isn’t that enough?
However, Li Jia is still a little sad, so it hurts her kind!
After pondering for a while, Tian Fu suddenly ran over again, with a sad face and said softly: "Your Majesty, news has been heard from the Dingnan Army. On the seventh day of last month, Li Yixing, the governor of Dingnan Army, had passed away."
"Hey!" Hearing this news, Li Jia sighed again, and then said: "I posthumously awarded Li Yixing as the Noble of Xiazhou. His son Li Kerui led the governor of Dingnan Army and gave him two thousand stagnant of funeral money, and stopped for three days to express his condolences--"
"Here--"
The death of the old fox Li Yixing is also a good thing for the situation in the northwest region.
A young leader of the Party Xiang people is better dealt with than an old fox, which is a good thing for the court.
At this time, his mood changed from sadness to joy.
The same news of death had a completely different impact on him.
The clouds turned clear, and Li Jia felt that she could fight against three again.
And, before he was happy for a long time, Tian Fu's rapid footsteps were approaching.
Why, it's not over yet, right?
"Who is this time?"
The emperor turned around and asked directly.
"Your Majesty, Grandpa Sun, you're almost out of reach-"
The sadness on Tian Fu's face was extremely strong, which was more real than the first two, and also showed the severity of the situation.
"Why, wasn't yesterday still fine?"
Li Jia's face turned black. It was really unlucky today. She got three news in a row, one good and one bad.
The so-called Sun Xianggong naturally refers to Sun Guangxian, who is 68 years old this year.
Sun Guangxian, whose courtesy name was Meng Wen, was from Guiping, Lingzhou (now Renshou County, Sichuan Province). He served as the King of Nanping for three generations. He can be said to be a meritorious old minister.
Therefore, in view of this, Li Jia directly became the prime minister and allowed him to enter the Political Affairs Hall, not only because of his talent, but also to allow an elderly and stern person to stare at the Political Affairs Hall.
And Sun Guangxian did not disappoint his expectations.
Always checking for shortcomings and filling in the gaps has made a large part of the harmony of the Political Affairs Hall, and has even become the third force besides Prime Minister Zhao Cheng and Second Minister Sun Zhao.
However, the stable triangle has not been formed after all. It is quite old and has often asked for leave in the past two years. Yesterday's Wanbao Festival was also barely involved.
What Li Jia didn't expect was that yesterday was fine, but something happened today.
"Hurry up, let's go to the Sun Mansion."
Li Jia frowned and said directly.
"The carriage is ready--" Tian Fu was attentive and knew the situation, so he had prepared the carriage long ago.
After leaving the palace, I went straight to Sun's Mansion. The once spacious and bright house is now full of medicine fragrance and a little gloomy.
The second son, Sun said, Sun Xu, had a sad face, and Li Jia's heart sank.
Then, he came to the ward and saw Sun Guangxian, who was on the sickbed, with a pale face and a curled body.
His gray beard seemed to be in a dead gray color. Li Jia couldn't help but feel quite moved when she remembered the friendship between the monarch and the ministers for several years.
"Your Majesty, are you here?"
Sun Guangxian opened his eyes and suddenly became a little more energetic. He looked at the emperor in front of the bed and couldn't help but cough a few times, saying with difficulty: "I never thought that when the old minister left, he would still see His Majesty--"
"Relax your heart and you will get better!" Li Jia comforted softly.
"I know my own body. Life is rare in seventy years. I am already sixty and I have no regrets in my life."
Sun Guangxian smiled and said, "The old minister has been assisting Gao in the turbulent times for most of his life. He thought that his life was like this. He never thought that he could help His Majesty unify the world as the prime minister. There will be no regrets in this life!"
"The court still needs the Qing family, it is absolutely indispensable!" Li Jia said softly.
"Your Majesty, now the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more stable, and the only thing to worry about is the Khitans."
Sun Guangxian continued his last words and said solemnly: "But when going to war with the Khitan, one must be cautious. One must be beheaded and the Northern Han wings must be destroyed before the affairs of Youzhou can be spoken of. Don't be anxious..."
