Chapter 271 Signal

In Li Neng's opinion, the old man himself would not care too much about the process of entering the imperial tomb, so it was not very difficult for him to handle this matter.

After all, you don’t have to carry the coffin to the imperial tomb personally, but you just give me some advice on what to do about the people of the Ministry of Rites. It’s all about doing it in large or small ways.

Sure enough, not long after Li Yu left, the palace maids of Xingqing Palace came to report, saying that the Minister of Rites and several ministers were waiting outside the palace gate.

What shocked Li Yi a little was that the old prime minister Miao Jinqing, who was almost eighty years old and was about to retire and return home, and Yuan Zai, a powerful minister who is now outstanding in the court, actually arrived at the door of Xingqing Palace. Miao Jinqing said that he wanted to see Li Longji for the last time, but Yuan Zai was waiting for Li Yi.

When Li Qing heard this, a sneer immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth. Li Longji had just passed west for only an hour. The signals sent from Tai Chi Palace and Xingqing Palace obviously made some people unable to sit still in the court and were about to start preparing to take sides.

Li Yu is the crown prince, and there is no objection to this in the court of the Tang Dynasty, but all court officials also know that since Li Heng ascended the throne, several tough battles have been won under the leadership of Li Qing.

This not only led to Li Yi's extremely loud call among the generals, but also caused Li Yi to have more and more soldiers and horses. Now, except for Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, most of the people in the Tang Dynasty are already in the hands of Li Yi.

Before this signal occurred, no one knew the ownership of the Tang Dynasty. After all, Li Yu was still sitting firmly in the position of the prince, and the two brothers Li Yu and Li Neng had never had any conflicts. Under such circumstances, almost all court officials dared not act rashly.

However, Li Longji went west and actually asked Li Qing to be responsible for the funeral. The situation was a bit interesting.

Although ordinary officials do not dare to stand at will, a guy like Yuan Zai who specializes in playing power tricks can't stand it at this time.

Li Yu wandered around the court every day. Yuan Zai knew what kind of personality he was, so he understood that even if he moved closer to Li Yi at this time, if Li Yu was still on the throne, it would not have much impact on him.

Because Li Neng had almost never stayed in the court, no matter how many rank officials were, they couldn't understand Li Neng's temper. They almost only knew that Li Neng was a good player in war, and they didn't know anything else.

As for Miao Jinqing, Li Wu didn't think he could have any other intentions. It was just that Li Longji, who was about the same age as him, suddenly left, and felt a little moved.

"Go and summon Miao Jinqing to me, and the others will continue to wait outside!"

After Li Qing gave such an order, he continued to sit outside Li Longji's bedroom.

He definitely looked down on people like Yuan Zai. He couldn't do anything to really contribute to the Tang Dynasty, but he was the first to play with power. Li Yan had already thought about it in his heart that as long as he got to power, the first knife in the Tang Dynasty would be such a person.

However, dealing with these hob meat has not been easy for the emperor since ancient times, because when many people see the emperor's routines clearly, one thing the city does is to fool the emperor. If an ordinary emperor really gets confused at this time, he will basically feel confused and feel that he has done something wrong while the courtiers are lying together.

But Li Neng is definitely not that kind of person. What he wants to do, especially for those whom he looks down on at all, must be head-on and not even turning a corner.

As soon as this situation occurred, Li Qing was even more looking forward to him if he really sat in the court one day, and even wanted to see what tricks these monsters and monsters would use for him.

It is different from fighting with soldiers and horses, and it is obviously very interesting to see the smoke of gunpowder.

From this moment on, Li Neng felt that his journey in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be about to reach the second stage. Although there were still many obstacles ahead, Li Neng was obviously very energetic.

While thinking about the situation he might face in the future, after a while of hurried steps, an old man with white hair appeared in front of Li Qing.

"King Jianning, can you let the old minister come to the edge of this bed to send the Supreme Emperor on his last journey?"

The person who came was the 80-year-old prime minister Miao Jinqing. After seeing Li Yan, he made this request to Li Yan almost burst into tears, and he didn't say a word about the funeral.

This is the person who truly attaches importance to the relationship between the monarch and the ministers of Li Longji. Li Neng will naturally satisfy his wish. He helped Miao Jinqing up at that time, and then said to the palace maid around him: "Let him say goodbye to the Supreme Emperor!"

Miao Jinqing was taken to Li Longji's bedroom by the palace maid. He was also the only one among the civil and military officials of the court who came to Li Longji in person to pay his respects. The officials of the Ministry of Rites and Yuan Zai outside the door had no intention of coming in. Their purpose was very clear, and they were to see King Jianning, who could lead the funeral of the Supreme Emperor this time.

After Miao Jinqing entered, Li Qing still did not go outside to see those waiting for him. Until about a stick of incense was added, Miao Jinqing walked out with the help of the palace maid, and her wrinkled face was covered with tears.

"You go and send the old man back to his mansion!"

Seeing that Miao Jinqing was indeed extremely sad, Li directly asked the palace maid to send him back to the mansion at his age.

Before Miao Jinqing left, he saluted Li Yan and said, "After the Supreme Emperor buried the imperial tomb, please allow the old ministers to return home!"

After saying that, he left directly with the help of the palace maids.

Looking at the old man's back, Li Qing looked outside again and shook his head slightly. He knew that this old man was the real person with clear hands and eyes. He saw through it, but he was about to withdraw. This pattern is really worthy of his 80-year-old age.

After seeing off Miao Jinqing, Li Yan knew that he should meet the people at the door. Li Heng asked them to come and listen to his arrangements. However, how did Yuan Zai know about this and indeed time appeared here? There are a lot of things worth exploring here.
