Chapter 273
Generally speaking, a person suddenly gains some rights that he has never experienced before, so he must make good use of it. In Han Zemu's imagination, Li Yan would definitely be like this. However, as soon as Li Yan asked these two requests, his face was full of surprise.
The two requests he made were time and pomp. Although time was indeed a bit tight, most people know what was happening in Chang'an City now. On the pomp, Li Longji made so much contribution to the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor is still the emperor's father. Even if it is more solemn than Li Heng's funeral, it is reasonable.
"That's the specifications of the funeral of the Supreme Emperor this time, as well as some good days..."
Before Han Zemu could not have been so bold that he went back to handle these two sentences by Li Qing, he once again opened his mouth and asked two questions carefully.
"Didn't we have had a Supreme Emperor before the Tang Dynasty? What specifications were there now? As for those good days, aren't there many so-called talented people and strangers in the palace? Let them calculate it! In the past two days, use which time is better! Only one point, I do require speed, but if you are discovered by me and fooled, don't blame me for throwing it into Dali Temple directly!"
This time, Li Qing understood what she said quite well. Han Zemu and several ministers quickly agreed to this matter, and they also had a further understanding of Li Qing's temper.
Obviously, this young prince was not a person who was willing to speak more, nor was he who was willing to let the people below take their own actions. With Yuan Zai's past lessons, Han Zemu first gave a wink at the people behind him. These ministers almost said goodbye to Li without saying a word.
Naturally, Li Neng did not keep them, and waved his hand to let them retreat. After that, only Han Zemu was left in the room.
"The prince, I have some words that are hard to say when there are many people. Yuan Zai has a wide connection in the court of my Tang Dynasty. The prince has disguised his face. I am afraid that the funeral of the Supreme Emperor will not be much lively. I hope the prince will be prepared for this matter!"
Han Zemu's words were obviously very reserved, but it was also a reminder to Li Yan, that was, the words that offended Yuan Zai, especially when Li Yan was still just a prince, he not only would not support Li Longji's funeral, but also would make many officials in the court ignore this matter.
"Are you afraid that you will not be able to accomplish this? I blame you, or are you thinking about it?"
After Han Zemu finished speaking, Li Qing didn't say anything else and asked this question in a playful way.
"As the Minister of Rites, I am in charge of this kind of thing, and the funeral involves the Supreme Emperor. No matter who it is, I dare not play any bad role in it. What I am talking about is the prince who will act in the palace in the future, or other things caused by this matter."
The reminder of Han Zemu's words cannot be said to be of no use to Li Qing, and this made Li Qing almost immediately realize that Han Zemu is definitely not in the same system as Yuan Zai.
Han Zemu is a person who is willing to write, recite poems and paint, and he doesn't have much contact with people in the Ministry of Rites. When Li Yan saw this, he found that if it was involved, the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, it would probably not be so simple to do things by himself.
"I have more ministers in this matter. Time is tight. I am in charge of Xingqing Palace. You should go to the funeral of the Supreme Emperor first. If you encounter any trouble, send someone to the main hall of Xingqing Palace to notify me at any time. Also, Yuan Zai learned about this matter, I am afraid that one of the ministers behind you just told him. This matter is your own business of the Ministry of Rites. I hope that you, the Minister of Rites, can find out him. I am waiting for your return."
With just a few glances, Li Yan could see so much without even saying a word. This really made Han Zemu a little impressed. Originally, the emperor and the prince did not show up in front of him. However, now, seeing Li Yan sitting in front of him with expressionless expression, for some reason, all of this pressure was gone.
"I understand, I understand!"
After throwing these three words down, Han Zemu quickly walked out of the main hall of Xingqing Palace and began his busy schedule that he could hardly close his eyes for the past two days.
The Tang Dynasty is definitely a very special period. Since Li Yu and Li Neng have returned from victory, and a large number of soldiers loyal to the Tang Dynasty are stationed outside Chang'an City, Li Heng's condition is no longer hidden. There is a lot of news in the Tai Chi Palace that the emperor is seriously ill and the prince is taking care of him in front of the sickbed. The major events in the court are temporarily decided by several prime ministers. The funeral of the Supreme Emperor is handed over to King Jianning, and all officials should cooperate for a long time.
Things about the royal family are rarely so transparent, especially when it comes to the emperor's death, most of the time the princes would not know too carefully.
But this time, not only did Li Heng's serious illness be announced directly, but whether it was Li Yu or Li Qing, they were not afraid of letting the world know what the trick was. Even many people in the court could not guess.
Even so, everyone's eyes were still attracted by Li Longji's funeral. After all, Li Longji's position in the hearts of many older generation officials and people in the Tang Dynasty was really important.
Even though it brought great disasters like the Anshi Rebellion to the Tang Dynasty, when he ran to Mawei Post, many people spontaneously sent food to him who was short of food. Such details are enough to illustrate Li Longji's position in the minds of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
According to Li Longji's request, although the time was already chosen as the time when there were fewer people in Chang'an City when possible, the enthusiasm of the people was still beyond Li's expectations.
It is indeed a bit exaggerated to say that it is crowded with people, but it is not much worse. Many people are satisfied with just letting him take a look from a distance.
