After ten years in Zhenguan, Li Kuan returned to Beijing for the crowning ceremony and had to live in the city of Chang'an. At the same time, Jingzhou was once again relegated from the chief governor to the governor's mansion, from the third grade official rank. Moreover, Chenzhou was divided from Jingzhou's jurisdiction and changed to Qianzhou's jurisdiction.
With the restructuring of Jingzhou, Jingzhou has only four prefectures of Xia, Li, Lang, and Yue, leading to eight counties including Jiangling, Zhijiang, Dangyang, Changlin, Anxing, Shishou, Songzi, and Gong'an. Gavin Da was the veritable head of the state, and Li Kuan's vacant post of the governor of Jingzhou was also revoked.
Li Kuan didn't care about this. They were officials who had names and had no power. It would be better to have none. It has been half a month since returning to Chang'an City. Li Kuan and Wu Jue, accompanied by Wang Huai, Qian Wu, and Zhao Qian, went to the mausoleum to pay tribute to Li Yuan.
Originally, Li Kuan came the next day after returning to Beijing, but he had to nod his head for trivial matters in the palace. In addition, the Yang family had already returned to Chang'an City, and considering the relationship between Wu Juo and Li Kuan, Yang took the initiative. Mentioned to leave the palace of the King of Chu to find another place to live.
Li Kuan refused to leave Wu Jue, and Wu Jue was unwilling to leave. Yang had decided to leave, and Li Kuan had to agree. On the third day after returning to Beijing, Yang took the three sisters Wu Hui and left back to his old house. Li Kuan personally sent someone to help clean up the house.
Although the Yang family came from the former Sui royal clan, the Sui Dynasty has disappeared in the long river of history. She has been married to the warrior Xun for more than ten years. Although the old house in Chang'an City has been cleaned by family members, it is still messy and messy. Li Kuan had to re-arrange for the four of them, mother and daughter, and it took half a month before they had time to come.
The Yang family learned that Li Kuan was going to sacrifice the mausoleum to pay homage to the first emperor Li Yuan, and acquiesced to Wu Jue to go out with him.
Since Xianling is about 57 kilometers away from Chang'an City, you must go out of the city to reach Xianling. The clearest thing in Li Kuan's memory was the location of Xian Ling. No one needed to point or lead the way, and he walked in the forefront with a familiarity.
Li Kuan has been silent since he set off, and Wu Jue sitting in the carriage can see the sadness in Li Kuan's eyes. Perhaps recalling everything in the past, Li Kuan didn't say a word along the way, his face was heavy, and Wu Jue didn't bother either.
Li Kuan’s childhood memories emerged in Li Kuan’s mind. Every bit about his grandfather was remembered very clearly, and his thoughts became deeper and deeper. His eyes instantly moistened, two tears slipped quietly across his cheeks, Wu Huijing Sitting quietly on the side and letting Li Kuan immerse himself in longing emotions.
Wu Jue knew what Li Kuan’s greatest pain was, and she knew exactly how his grandfather Li Yuan treated him. She also knew from Li Kuan, including Li Kuan had told her about childhood matters in her previous life. The grief was even more difficult to extricate himself, Wu Jue also remembered the scenes of his father, the warrior Xun, when he was alive, and couldn't help crying silently along with him.
It took Li Kuan two hours to arrive on the fifty-kilometer road. Although riding a carriage is not as fast as riding a horse, it does not take so long. In fact, at the moment Li Kuan saw Xianling, he did not continue riding in the carriage, got out of the carriage with a solemn expression, and walked towards Xianling step by step.
Wu Hui followed closely, and Wang Huai and the others had to follow them to Xian Ling step by step. The army guarding the imperial tomb saw Chu Wang Li Kuan and his party coming from a distance, and they did not stop them in the slightest. Because these people are so familiar with them, they dare not stop or will not stop them.
The Xian Mausoleum was built by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty according to the specifications of the former emperor’s tomb. Although Xian Mausoleum is a tomb, there are two inner and outer cities. The inner city is the core of the mausoleum. Surrounded by walls, four more gates were opened, named after the four elephants in Taoism.
The Xianling Tomb is in the shape of a bucket, sitting north facing south, and a pair of stone tigers are placed in front of the four gates of the wall. Between the inner and outer cities, there are large Chinese tables, as well as majestic and high-spirited stone rhinos. In addition, there are dozens of burial tombs outside the entire cemetery, just like the stars holding the moon, symbolizing that Li Yuan is the emperor in front of him.
Li Kuan passed through Shixi, Shihuabiao and other objects to reach the outside of the inner city, and then entered the inner city from Zhuquemen, which is east of the center of the tomb. This is where Li Yuan's real tomb is located. This place is 139 meters long from east to west, 110 meters wide from north to south, 30 meters long from east to west at the top, 10 meters wide from north to south, and 19 meters high.
In front of the mausoleum stood a huge marble tombstone. Li Kuan looked up at Li Yuan’s tomb and immediately mixed feelings. He walked forward step by step with heavy steps, reaching the tombstone on his knees, tears streaming down uncontrollably. Wang Huai, Zhao Qian, and Qian Wu also wiped their tears silently.
"Grandfather, I brought your grandson and daughter-in-law!" Li Kuan cried and laughed and introduced Wu Jue. Wu Jue knelt on his knees, and accompanied Li Kuan and kowtow to Li Yuan, "She is the second daughter of Ying Guo , Is also the most important person in my grandson's life."
Li Kuan looked at Wu Jue affectionately, and continued to speak to Li Yuan’s tomb, as if he was talking to Li Yuan again, without the slightest fear, but rather lost: "I’m very satisfied with the person you chose for your grandson. Really Very satisfied! I will not disappoint your expectations, and strive to have more great-grandchildren!" New 81 Chinese website update the fastest computer terminal: https://
When paying homage to the ancestors, everyone remained solemn and solemn. When everyone heard Li Kuan’s words, they couldn’t help laughing or crying. Wu Jue had a bad attack in front of Li Yuan’s tomb, but she still gave a blank eye and was directly ignored by Li Kuan. .
Li Kuan spoke for a long, long time. From the moment he left the capital, he said everything in every detail, vividly talking about his own experience, his face was sometimes happy and sometimes excited, no matter how happy everyone was, everyone knew that he was not in his heart. Feel good.
If Li Yuan could see and hear, he would definitely touch Li Kuan's head with his hand, and said kindly: "My grandson has grown up!"
In an instant, Li Kuan’s tears were like river water bursting a bank. The more he held back the tears, the more the tears flowed, and finally flowed out of his eyes like a flood. The tears fell on the ground, Li Kuan cried. Very sad.
Wu Jue didn't know what to say, so she cried bitterly with Li Kuan. Wang Huai, Zhao Qian, and Qian Wu stared at the mausoleum with moist eyes for a long time, as if they had seen Li Yuan, with an amiable smile on their faces, smiling as they watched Li Kuanshu talking about their own experiences. Nodding agreement from time to time, the appreciation between the eyebrows was visible to the naked eye. At that moment, the three of them were stupid, and their last persistence was also shattered. They couldn't help but muttered: "The first emperor!"
In the previous life, he failed to see his grandfather for the last time. In this life, he still allows his grandfather to see his growth. The greatest regret in life is this! As time goes by, people are slowly growing, but the relatives around them slowly age until they leave you.
The news of Li Kuan's arrival in Xianling soon passed back to Chang'an City. Li Shimin was shocked when he learned of it, and soon went back to reviewing memorials. As for Li Kuan, he stayed in Xianling for half a month before returning to his home. Wu Shuo accompanied him. Even if he was criticized by his mother, he must be by Li Kuan's side. At this time, Li Kuan needs someone to accompany him. , Wu Hui is not assured that he will stay here alone. (End of this chapter)
