Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 449 The Death of Wei Zheng
All day long, Qin Hao was thinking in his mind: I am going to enter Lingyan Pavilion?

To be honest, at this moment Qin Hao only felt that he was falling into the clouds, as if in a dream, and he was having fun all day long, pinching his thigh from time to time to make sure it was really not a dream.

'Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar with thousands of households'.As the first prosperous age in Chinese history, the Zhenguan Dynasty was relatively bright throughout the long history. Not only Li Shimin himself was admired by later generations as a model emperor, but the officials also became role models for later generations. , the most famous ones are probably nothing more than these 24 people.

To be honest, Qin Hao was really surprised that he was on the list. It’s not that the credit is not enough. The various changes in the Tang Dynasty in the past ten years can’t be separated from him. If there is no really strong For his achievements, it is impossible for him to be named Duke of the county and become the top group of people in the world.

He is really too young. In the final analysis, no matter how important the Lingyan Pavilion is in the eyes of later generations, it is still in essence Li Shimin's humeral ministers who felt that he was leaving him one by one. The following is set up in memory of old friends.

So all of them are either dead or dying, and if you go up by yourself, it seems quite abrupt no matter what you think about it.

However, he has not yet realized the weight that the word Qin Hao represents in the Tang Dynasty. Although the original intention of Lingyan Pavilion is to miss the old man, since the day he was completed, it has an extremely strong color of final conclusion , In essence, it is still a big political cake, and Li Shimin must also consider a balance of forces among all parties.

If you think about it carefully, you will find that among the 24 ministers, the old man of the Qin Palace, the founding hero, and the hero of Zhenguan each account for eight, one is not too many, and the other is not. They are not really arranged according to the degree of merit, otherwise Pei Ji How could it not be in it, let alone Li Shimin's personal memorial meeting, otherwise Liu Wenjing would not be left behind anyway.

These are the 24 people who were finally selected by mutual compromise and mutual accommodation among the founding heroes, Qin Wangfu Group, and Zhenguan upstarts.

Even Qin Hao himself doesn't know that he has become a benchmark in the post-Zhenguan era. He is the one with the highest title among all the people who became officials after Zhenguan, and he is the idol of all the new ministers of Zhenguan.

More importantly, he represents a force, a new force: the Green Gang.

Today's Qing Gang is no longer the refugee organization that he and Xu Jie established on a whim to protect themselves, but a super giant that has infiltrated every aspect of Datang's economic life. If the concept of Qing Gang is expanded, he will still It can represent all the newly emerging industries and businesses in the entire Tang Dynasty, and represent those soldiers who held shares instead of Yongyetian to defend their homes and the country in the borderlands.

With such a force, as long as Li Shimin is not blind, it is impossible for Li Shimin to ignore their feelings, so although Qin Hao is only 26, he can only go to Lingyan Pavilion with 23 other old guys.

Qin Hao naturally has to treat such an important matter with caution. He has been thinking about one question all day long, that is, what kind of posture should he pose?
The strength of the ink marks made Yan Liben very worried. Most of the other 23 have been hung up. Combining the existing appearance and the portraits left before, and combining a little bit of my own secondary creation to draw.

Only Qin Hao is an exception. This guy is so young that he is outrageous. Just put on a pose and draw it truthfully. This is the most handsome moment in his life, especially when this person is still alive and kicking. The signboard can be regarded as smashed.

But it's been a whole day, and this guy just won't let him paint. Can this frankly let us have a good New Year?

In fact, Qin Hao and his family spent the New Year's Eve dinner with Qin Hao thinking about this issue. Li Xin said that he should hold a book, put his hands behind his back, wear a plain white silk shirt, and look like a handsome young man.

Xiaodie said that he should hold a sword and wear a handsome armor. After all, he had been on the battlefield. Qin Xiaohao was even more nonsense. He thought he should wear court clothes and hold a stack of banknotes, because his greatest contribution was He helped Datang issue and stabilize banknotes, especially banknotes, which represent merchants. If the power of capitalism rises in the future, such a painting will bring him a great advantage.

In the end, it was decided to let Yan Liben draw a full-length portrait of him wearing court clothes and holding a wat board in his hand. After all, he was juxtaposed with a large group of elders, which made him appear humble.

Li Xin also planned to sew a new set of court clothes for him with his own hands. In order not to drive Yan Liben crazy, Qin Hao refused. After all, painting is not a photo. Come out not.

On the day Lingyan Pavilion was completed, he was there with his master Wei Zheng and his father-in-law Li Xiaogong. Thinking about how it would become a good story after a thousand years, I was a little excited to think about it.

The years are quiet and good, everything is so beautiful.

It's just that the good times don't last long, before the year is over, and before the joy of going to Lingyan Pavilion is over, there is a news like a bolt from the blue: Wei Zheng, it's too late.

When Qin Hao heard the news, he was in a bad mood, because in his memory, Wei Zheng had a whole year to live before he died. He persuaded Wei Zheng to retire and join the Tang Fed Reserve, hoping that he could live after ignoring vulgar things. It is longer, but some people may be born to fight. With a breath of true energy in their stomachs, they can hold on forever, and once the true energy is exhausted, there is no way to recover.

When the galloping horse arrived at Wei Zheng's mansion, he was already on the verge of dying. The imperial doctor had come to see him several times, but he still couldn't figure out why. The so-called imperial doctors these days rely mostly on blindness to treat illnesses. Most of the diseases can’t be seen. It will be nearly 1000 years after the Ming Dynasty’s Compendium of Materia Medica was written for the real masters of traditional Chinese medicine.

Obviously, Wei Zheng belongs to the group of people whose fate is not so good.

As soon as Qin Hao came, he knelt down with a puff, because Wei Zheng had been suffering from chronic illness for a long time, and his family was more or less mentally prepared. Although he cried very sadly, his mood was actually quite calm. After all People are always going to be born, old, sick and die. Wei Zheng is sixty-three this year, which is definitely the end of his life in Datang.

On the contrary, Qin Hao, because he always believed that he would live until next year, was stunned for a while, his mind was blank, and his eyes were blurred.

Mrs. Pei said: "Master, Zhenheng is here, look at him, don't you have something to say to him?"

Wei Zheng's breath was very weak, and his hands seemed to be haggard, and they stretched out tremblingly. Qin Hao hurriedly knelt in front of the couch and held his hands tightly, but he was already a little bit choked up with tears.
