Chapter 491 Finale

Ten years later and ten years later, in a blink of an eye, Qin Hao is almost seventy years old.

It's strange that since he was given swords and shoes to the palace, he rarely went to court in person. The power of the Qin family has slowly been transferred to Qin Xiaohao's hands and brought himself to the position of Taifu. However, Qin Xiaohao has become the Shangshu Ling shamelessly. Even the second son of their hometown has become the Zhongshu Ling. Whether in the capital or in the place, there are their family's confidants everywhere. Except for those governors named Li, no one takes Li Tang seriously.

As the saying goes, it is rare to be in the seventy years of age. In ancient times, medical conditions were like this. People of this age died and were depressed and could not cry. Over the years, he has felt more and more ruthlessness of time, and his health has become worse day by day. He even had a vague premonition that he had only been doing this for a few months, and he might not be able to get up after falling asleep one day.

But to be honest, he has already lived a little bit enough.

The heavy snow in the sky was swirling around his face under the wind, and he stepped out of the door, and there was a creaking sound when he stepped on the snow. This year, the sky in Chang'an seemed particularly cold, and his face and hands were all red.

"Grandpa, grandpa, where are you going?"

Qin Hao turned around, touched the face of his grandson with a rare glance, and smiled and said, "Oh, I want to meet old friends."

My grandson didn't understand why he thought, old friend? Haven't your old friends all died?

"Prepare the car, I want to go to Zhaoling to take a look."

"oh."

Qin Hao just sat in the car, took the reins from the coachman's hand, took a deep breath of cool air, suddenly drew a little strength from his old body, and slapped it hard on the horse's butt: "Stand~!"

"Grandpa, grandpa, please slow down, slow down, don't fall again."

Qin Hao ignored him and twitched his horse's butt hard, faster than when he was younger. He seemed to want to regain the feeling of a young man talking about a young man.

Of course, the reason why the boys were crazy was because they had energy on their bodies, and they were fine no matter how hard they were. However, Qin Hao, an old man with his arms and legs, could no longer bear it. When they rushed to Zhaoling, his whole hand was shaking.

"Grandpa, please be slower, be careful, slide on the ground."

Qin Hao got off the car with a crutch and walked forward with difficulty with shaking step by step.

"Oh, were all the eunuchs back then dead? These eunuchs who were thinking were not serious. The snow was so heavy, and no one could scan it. Grandson, go and get a broom for grandpa."

"Grandpa, I'll do it."

"Haha, no, I'll do it. This is also my last time to visit His Majesty's grave."

Qin Hao took the broom and swept it staggeringly. He didn't bring any gloves. His whole hand was frozen, but he insisted on not wanting others to help.

Finally, he scanned out a rough look. Qin Hao looked at the eight horses on the stone slab of Zhaoling and smiled and said, "Sun son, these are the eight horses of Zhaoling. I learned to ride a horse on that one back then, but the horse was disobedient and almost let the wolf eat it. Cheng Qian saved me. After that, he and I became good brothers."

As he said that, Qin Hao slowly sat down beside Zhaoling, leaned against the stone tablet, took out the wine, poured a glass in front of the tablet, and poured himself a glass, murmured: "Your Majesty, I'm going down to find you too. I don't know if you see me, will you praise me for doing well over the years, or will you scold me for covering the sky with your hands, let's talk about my heart, the king and the minister?"

As he said that, Qin Hao drank the cup in his hand in one gulp, and poured out the cup in front of the tombstone.

"I guess you will definitely scold me. If a person dies twice, you will definitely have to kill me, right? You emperors are just stingy and don't know how to think from the perspective of us ministers. Your family's imperial power is lost, but I can't rely on me. I have always done the work of loyal ministers. It's your sons and grandchildren, including yourself, who are too short of life. Who makes your family have a genetic disease of brain cancer?"

"Your Majesty, I tell you, the Tang Dynasty is so good now. Qin Xiaohao's child has tinkered with all the steam engines. He also said that he would make the electromagnetic engine out. Haha, I can't see that day, and I don't know if he can see it anymore. Oh, by the way, you don't know what the electromagnetic engine is at all."

"The Tang Dynasty is so powerful now. The Turks, Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Khitan were gone. No more. Now, everyone can speak Tang language, but few people can speak their own local language. Now they are the few Taoists in our Tang Dynasty, no longer different from Guanzhong, and they are no longer foreign barbarians. They are the real borders of our Tang Dynasty. I have more than doubled this territory. Now, there is only the original Dashi area, those white people, who are barely considered barbarians. This is a matter of race. I have no idea that I have not had a hundred and eighty years of living together. I have no idea. I have a clear conscience? If I hadn't been me, the Tang Dynasty would have been beaten to the point of being beaten by the Khitan at this time."

"Now, the people's life is so good. Everyone says that the people of the Song Dynasty lived a good life. I have never seen it before, but it is definitely not as good as the Tang Dynasty. I remember that when the elderly in the people could eat a meal of meat every now and then, they praised you as the emperor of the ages. But now? I went to the vegetable market a few days ago and saw that the ribs were more expensive than fat meat."

"Oh, you hand over the country to my hands and I'll manage it for you. It's so good. So when we meet, don't scold me, I'm worthy of you."

"A few days ago, the little bastard said he wanted to add nine tins to me, so I scolded me. I am not Cao Cao, so why add nine tins? Look, the powerful ministers have to do my part and keep such a minister's etiquette. I am very interested."

“…………”

Qin Hao was just chatting, chatting until the snow stopped and the sun was about to set. He was snoring at any time. The little grandson was really afraid that he would get some problems with the freezing, so he woke him up.

"Grandpa, it's cold, we should go home."

"Go home? Well, it's time to go home."

As he said that, Qin Hao stood up with the help of his grandson, stopped for a while, turned to Zhaoling and said, "I'll kowtow to you in the end."

As he said that, Qin Hao knelt down hard again, and once, twice, kowtowed a few times seriously, and then muttered to himself: "Well, I don't owe you."

Back on the carriage, Qin Hao said again: "Don't go home first, go to Qianling."

"Qianling? Grandpa, it's a bit late this day."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Oh, I just went to see it. After seeing it, I went home. I promised not to make trouble anymore."

"This is what you said, let's take a look."

Qianling, which was Li Zhi's tomb in history, has naturally become Li Chengqian's. This time Qin Hao did not visit his grave, but after getting off the car and walking a few steps, his face sank.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Qin Hao stretched out his hand, pointed tremblingly, and said, "Where is mine?"

"What?"

"Where is my tomb? I am almost seventy years old, why don't I build a tomb?"

"This... Grandpa, you are in good health, maybe there is no need for the time being."

"Fuck! Who is the old man who is still not building a tomb in his seventies? Is it because I am not qualified to be buried with me, or is it because the little turtle wants to build a separate building for me? What does he want to build an imperial tomb? Do you think he has not cultivated it or is he practicing somewhere else?"

The little grandson stopped talking.

Qin Hao was furious and cursed: "Little turtle, I haven't been to court for ten years. What do he want to do? Do you rebel?"

"This...no, my father has no such intention. But the pattern of Qianling Mausoleum may be a little smaller, and he can no longer make any wars. Besides, the fallen leaves return to their roots, and your mausoleum has been built in our hometown of Guanzhong and the ancestral home. He is also filial to him, so..."

"Fuck, what kind of shit is the hometown of Guanzhong? That's a fool. Am I a Guanzhong? I'm a Northeastern person. You don't know about this. Can your father still not know about it? OK, your father is hard-working, so don't take my words seriously!"

As he said that, Qin Hao's face suddenly turned red and he started coughing wildly.

"Grandpa, grandpa, please be careful. Don't be angry. Let's go home first and then say ok?"

Qin Hao was so angry that he was confused, but he knew that his fire could not be released from his grandson. He sat back in the car, calmed down, and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to court."

"Going court? Grandpa, you haven't been to court for almost ten years."

"What? I am still the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty. Can't I go to court? Your father can't tolerate me now?"

"No, no, no, how can it be? I'm not worried about your body? If you want to go to court, you'll just go to it. Even if you want to sit on the dragon throne, who can stop you?"

Qin Hao gave him a blank look and stopped talking.

The next day, at the grand court meeting, Qin Hao got up early. He hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, but after opening his wardrobe for a long time, he couldn't find his court suit.

"Where is my clothes? Oh, forget it, just do it like that. I'm just wearing this casual outfit, which is pretty good."

So, early in the morning, Qin Hao wore such a plain white casual outfit, leaning on a crutch, and moving his turtle steps to the Tai Chi Hall.

When the civil and military officials in the court saw him coming, they were surprised for a moment and stood up in a manner. Many of the people who had just fallen into the capital in the past two years did not even recognize him, and they asked the people around who the old man was.

Qin Hao stopped step by step and walked to the imperial front, looked up, "Oh, the emperor has changed again?" Where is Li Zhi? Oh yes, Li Zhi seemed to have died two years ago. This is his son, what's his name? Why don't he have any impression of it?

The new emperor was quite polite: "What is the old tutor going to do? I just go to your mansion directly. You are so old, why did you come to court in person? If you suffer from a cold on the road, wouldn't it be my fault?"

As he said that, the little emperor stood up very sensible, walked down the imperial stairs a few steps, personally supported Qin Hao, and walked up step by step.

Qin Hao couldn't help but think in his heart, if Li Xiang was one-tenth of you, this would probably not be the case in Chang'an now.

"The old minister has something to ask His Majesty for your grace. I am afraid that if I don't say it, I will not have the chance to say it."

"What does the Taifu say? The Tang Dynasty can have today depends on the Taifu you, and you cannot leave the Taifu you. If you want to protect your daughter, you cannot be without the Taifu."

As he spoke, the little emperor had already helped him sit on the side of the dragon chaise, "Please sit down with the tutor."

"Your Majesty sit first."

It was not until the young emperor sat down with a restrained attitude that Qin Hao sat on the side and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to invite you. Emperor Taizong has kindness to the old minister. Emperor Gaozong has brothers with the old minister. I want to invite Your Majesty. For the sake of my dedication to the Tang Dynasty, I can order a small tomb to be built on the side of Emperor Gaozong and buried with you. I hope Your Majesty will be approved."

"What is the Taifu saying? The Tang Dynasty cannot leave the Taifu yet. You have to help me and take care of the country for ten or eight years."

Qin Hao laughed, stood up shakingly, and said, "Old minister, there is only such a little request. The old minister is old and stupid, and he has long stopped asking about the affairs of the court. Qin Xiaohao, my son, will help me assist His Majesty."

The little emperor raised his hand and bowed deeply: "Give me a visit to the Grand Tutor."

Qin Hao nodded and walked down staggeringly. When he was halfway through, he suddenly stopped. After thinking about it, he walked to the edge of the imperial road and walked slowly.

Under the Imperial Road, Qin Xiaohao, as the head of all officials, stood at the closest position to the Imperial Road. Qin Hao walked over and said helplessly: "I can't control where you are buried in the future, but where I am buried, I think I should be able to make the decision."
