Chapter 13 Supporting the Funeral and Returning to the Funeral

"Qingluan, you accompany me to the mansion for a walk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Yu Ge was dressed in linen, leaning on the high platform, looking at a vegetarian Yujia Mansion, looking at the gloomy weather in the distance, thinking that it had been cloudy for four or five days, and there was no rain, and his heart was like a lump of cotton wool, and he turned his head and said to Qingluan on the side.

Qingluan looked at the girl who had lost a lot of weight, and felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she replied, "Okay." ”

The Yu family was placed under house arrest in Beijing, and the old lady of the Yu family accompanied the old lady Yu Zun in the troubled times for most of her life, and she went through a lot of winds and waves, and she never thought that she would suddenly die at the end of October. The old lady led the troops and couldn't go home, and the whole house suddenly lost the backbone, and the seven sons of the Yu family organized the funeral for the old lady, and the huge mansion was full of vegetarian and crying. The old lady's funeral could not be done in a big way, and even those who went to the house to mourn were stopped outside by the guards. Yu Ge looked at the mess outside the mansion, and only a desolation remained in his heart.

In her memory, on the night of the old lady's funeral, the wind was loud, the thick clouds covered the stars, and Yu Ge coaxed Yu Xi who was always staring out of the door in the small courtyard, and Yu Ge knew that Yu Xi was waiting for the Jiang family who was serving in front of the old lady's bed. Yuxi suddenly shouted, "Mother! Yuge turned his head and saw Jiang's, Jiang's footsteps hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Yuxi and pull Yuge to the old lady's yard, telling all the way: "Don't cry when you get to the old lady later, the old lady will answer everything she says, let the old lady go with peace of mind." Saying that, the tears in Jiang's eyes dripped onto the back of the fish singer, and the fish song immediately understood what was going on.

The old lady Yuzun and the old lady have seven sons and thirteen grandchildren, and the old lady asked each family to call the children in the house to the house, and let all the children call her grandmother. The old lady smiled and answered them one by one, and took the children of each family and told them to keep the way of filial piety. Seeing that the children present were a little big or small, the old lady asked the ladies of each family to lead the children down, and called the sons to come forward to explain the future. Yu Ge and Jiang Shi, who were holding Yu Xi, stood outside the house, and a child from a family asked their mother at home: "Mother, will grandmother die?" The lady nodded, and the child whimpered and cried, and the child standing in the courtyard couldn't help but cry when he heard the sound.

The old lady's first seven years have passed, and Yuge walked in the house, feeling sad in her heart. When he walked to the southwest corner, he saw a woman dressed in khaki clothes walking from the southeast with firewood, Yuge looked familiar, and asked, "Qingluan, who is she?" ”

Qingluan looked at it and said, "Qingluan has not been in the mansion for a long time, but I heard from the sisters that the woman's name is Yu Qiao. The sisters told them not to provoke her, saying that whoever provoked her was unlucky. How did the girl remember to ask her? ”

Yu Ge looked at Yu Qiao from a distance, he hadn't seen her for many years, and his appearance had not changed much, but her body was thin and her face was yellow and thin, how could she look like she was two years older. Seeing Yu Qiao, Yu Ge remembered what happened back then, so he said to Qingluan: "Let's go back." After Yu Ge and Qingluan turned to leave, Yu Qiao, who was in a hurry, stopped and looked at Yu Ge, who was across a small river from him, with inexplicable emotions surging in his eyes. After watching them disappear around the corner, Yu Qiao walked to the small courtyard with firewood in her arms.

"Don't you have long eyes?" Yu Qiao suddenly bumped into someone in front of the small courtyard, and when he heard this sound, he didn't care who he was bumping into, he just lowered his head and picked up the firewood on the ground. Suddenly, a hand with slender fingers and knotted bones helped her pick up the firewood and handed it to him, and when the man squatted down, Yu Qiao heard the voice of Fang Cai scolding her and said, "Childe ......", so he also squatted down to help her pick up firewood together.

Yu Qiao hugged the firewood in his arms, lowered his head and said, "Thank you!" After speaking, he was about to leave, only to hear the boy say, "You're welcome." When Yu Qiao heard this voice like Lang Yu, he couldn't help but raise his head, only to see a weak man with a face like a crown of jade and clear eyebrows, Yu Qiao saw that there was endless warmth and clarity in his eyes, so he asked, "What is your name?" ”

The man smiled slightly and replied, "Pu Chang." ”

When Yu Qiao heard these two words, he knew the identity of the person in front of him, so he walked to the courtyard with firewood, only took two steps, and suddenly turned his head to look at the man's back and asked, "Are you here to find Yu Ge?" ”

Pu Chang turned around and said, "The girl knows Yuge? ”

Yu Qiao said, "Look for her, and follow this road to the river, cross the bridge, and go north." After speaking, he carried the firewood into the small courtyard. She didn't know why she wanted to help Pu Chang, so she had the right to thank him so that she didn't blame her and helped her pick up the firewood.

Pu Chang didn't have time to thank Yu Qiao in the future, and when he saw Yu Qiao enter the courtyard, he didn't say much, and followed the people from Yufu to the mourning hall to mourn the old lady. Yu Hai saw Pu Chang and knew that it was not easy for him to come to the house, so Pu Chang informed the Yu family of the fact that his father and the court had written to the Son of Heaven to exempt the Yu family from house arrest, and handed over his father's handwritten letter to the Yu family. When Yuhai sent Pu Chang out of the house, Pu Chang asked, "Uncle, can I meet Yu Xiaomei?" ”

Hearing this, Yuhai stopped, and asked Yuge to come over, Yuge saw Pu Chang and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Pu Chang didn't answer, only looked at Yuge quietly, and said for a long time: "Grandfather is trapped in Fangtou, and the family has decided to go to Fangtou to support Grandfather." This is to come to the house, one is to mourn the old lady, the second is to deliver a message to my father, and the third is to say goodbye to you, if you can't see me in the end......"

Yu Ge couldn't believe it, so he hurriedly interrupted him: "No, I will see you, you also said that you want to marry me!" ”

Pu Chang smiled, touched her head and said, "Okay, I'm leaving, it's windy outside, you go back quickly." Watching Pu Chang's figure disappear out of the corridor. With a solemn heart, he went back to the room with Qingluan.

Since then, the Yu family has packed up their things, and Yu Ge has known what the letter sent by Pu Chang that day is probably what it was. In November, the ban on the Yu family was lifted, and the Yu family went out for the funeral of the old lady. By the time everyone reacted, the Yujia Mansion in Yecheng had become an empty mansion.

Emperor Shi Zun learned the news of the defection of the Yu family in the Ruyi Temple, and hurriedly summoned people to stop the funeral team of the Yu family.

On the top of the court, Shi Zun wanted to kill the governor Ran Min, the two turned against each other, Ran Min ordered the general Su Hai, and Zhou Cheng led thirty soldiers to arrest Shi Zun in Ruyiguan. In the Kunhua Palace, Shi Zun saw Su Hai and the others, and asked loudly: "As the Son of Heaven, are you going to rebel?" ”

Su Hai sneered, looked at Shi Zun on the ground, and sneered: "Governor Ran Min helped you seize the world, your merits are so high, but you sent someone to harm the life of the governor, such an unkind and unrighteous person, dare to call the Son of Heaven in vain?" Besides, the first emperor is located in the world of the crown prince, you killed the king and seized the throne, what face do you have to claim to be the son of heaven? Shi Zun never thought that after he killed Shi Shi and seized the throne, this scene would be staged on him, seeing Su Hai step by step forward, Shi Zun panicked and shouted: "Escort!" Escort! The soldiers did not move, Shi Zun knew that the general situation was gone, drew his sword and pointed at Su Hai and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Seeing this, Su Hai also drew his sword to confront Shi Zun, his eyes were full of cruelty, and he said, "You think you can kill me?" Saying that, he knocked out the sword in Shi Zun's hand and forced him to kneel, Shi Zun knelt in the clothes of the Son of Heaven and knelt at the courtier in front of him, Su Hai put the sword in his hand on Shi Zun's neck and said, "What I want to do is to send you to see the first emperor!" Before Shi Zun could react, he turned his head in a different place.

After Shi Zun's death, Shi Hu's third son Shi Jian ascended the throne, Shi Jian stood in front of the dragon chair, looking down at the main hall, and suddenly a soldier broke in and knelt down with his fists, and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, Pu Jian, the king of Qin, broke through the guards with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and ran in the direction of Fangtou!" When Shi Jian heard this, he didn't expect Pu Jian to take the opportunity to defect to Pu Hong with his soldiers and horses, and slammed his fists on the table full of concerts in front of him.

After Mrs. Yu was buried, Yu Ge asked Jiang on the way back to Fangtou: "Mother, is my grandmother's death really an accident?" Jiang knew that Yuge had guessed the probability, and he didn't hide it from her, and said to her: "The old lady made a living for the descendants of the Yu family when she was sick, and if we didn't comply, the old lady took the poison while everyone was not paying attention......" Yuge didn't feel good in her heart, so she didn't ask anymore.

Yecheng, after Shi Jian ascended the throne, he ordered Ran Min to be the general and the king of Wude. After all, Ran Min was the confidant of the Shi family, and Shi Jian secretly sent Shi Bao and Zhongshu to order Li Song and others to kill Ran Min in Kunhua Hall late at night, but this trip was unsuccessful. The palace was disturbed and chaotic, Shi Jian was afraid of Ran Min's rebellion, pretended not to know about it, and beheaded Li Song and Shi Bao at Xihuamen overnight to keep this secret.

Ran Min was not an idiot, knowing that Hou Zhao Shi's family could not tolerate him, he secretly plotted to replace Hou Zhao.

Shi Jian did not dare to provoke Ran Min, so after purging Shi Zun's henchmen, he was worried that Pu Hong would support his own army, and tried to win over Pu Hong's father and son to deal with Ran Min, so he summoned the courtiers to ask how to deal with it, and some courtiers stepped forward and said: "Pu Hong has 100,000 soldiers and horses to occupy the land of Fangtou, but because Shi Zun did not follow the orders of the first emperor to remove Pu Hong from the position of governor of Guanzhong, if His Majesty intends to transfer Pu Hong and others, it is better to let him go to Yongzhou and other places." First, it solves the threat of Pu Hong's troops outside Beijing, and secondly, it can also keep peace for His Majesty. The rest of the people didn't dare to speak, Shi Jian thought about it again and again, drafted the edict, and appointed Pu Hong as the governor of the Guanzhong military, the general of the expedition to the west, the pastor of Yongzhou, and the assassin of Qinzhou.

Some people in the court did not understand the meaning of Shi Jian, and after the next court, Shi Jian said to the people around him: "Lao Tzu once said: If you want to take it, you must fix it." Guanzhong, how can it compare to the 100,000 people under Pu Hong's command? ”

Far away in the Huan Wen Mansion of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the strategist Xi Chao walked with Huan Wen, and said to Huan Wen as he walked: "Later Zhao Zhuzi competed for the throne, and after Shi Zun killed the crown prince Shi Shi to seize the throne, in November, Shi Zun was killed by Su Hai and others. Soldiers rose up everywhere, and wolf smoke was everywhere. The displaced people of Qin and Yongzhou returned to the west together, and when they passed through Fangtou, they attached themselves to Pu Hong, the former minister of Later Zhao, and elected him as the leader. Now there are more than 100,000 people in Puhong, and Pu Hong's son Pu Jian Pu Xiong and others also broke through the checkpoint and went to Fangtou, and Pu Hong's soldiers and horses are very numerous, and there is even the meaning of supporting the army. Later Zhao Emperor Shi Jian was afraid of Pu Hong's prestige, and wanted to win over Pu Hong, so he appointed Pu Hong as the governor of the Guanzhong military, the general of the expedition to the west, the pastor of Yongzhou, and the leader of the Qinzhou Assassin History, intending to let Pu Hong enter the Guanzhong ......"

Huan Wen said as he walked: "I remember that in May this year, Pu Hong had the intention of defecting to the Jin Dynasty. ”

Xi Chao replied: "It is true." ”

Huan Wen said: "Pu Hong can go from a small leader of the Di clan to now have more than 100,000 troops, and he is also a rare general. Otherwise, let him enter the customs, I am afraid that it will only be a disaster in the future. ”

Xi Chao asked hypocritically: "What does Lord Lang mean?" ”

Huan Wen said: "You will follow me into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Chu." ”

When Shi Jian's summons came to Fangtou, Pu Hong gathered his officials to discuss whether to accept the appointment. Cheng Pu, the chief bookkeeper, stepped forward and said: "According to the minister's humble opinion, Pugong might as well make peace with Hou Zhao temporarily, and then follow the example of the sages and ask for the division of land and rule like the princes and other countries." ”

Pu Hong was furious when he heard this, and said: "Master Cheng thinks that I, Pu someone, is not worthy of being the Son of Heaven? ”

Only then did Cheng Pu realize Pu Hong's intention to summon all the officials to discuss this matter, and hurriedly defended: "Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen doesn't mean this!" I saw Pu Hong's face full of anger, and asked, "That's not what you mean?" If you don't mean that, why would you say that the nations will divide the land and rule it!" After speaking, without waiting for Cheng Pu to react, he asked Cheng Pu to be pulled out and killed outside the door.

In the first month of the leap month in the sixth year of Yonghe (350), the Eastern Jin Dynasty court appointed Pu Hong as the king of Di, the envoy of the festival, the general of the expedition to the north, the governor of the Hebei military, the history of the Jizhou assassin, and the prince of Guangchuan County, and appointed his son Pu Jian as the false festival, the right general, and the supervisor of Hebei to conquer the front of the military and the Duke of Xiangguo.

Seeing that the Eastern Jin Dynasty court responded, and that the official position was more generous than that of the Later Zhao, and at the same time awarded his son Pu Jian a high-ranking official Houlu, which also showed that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was willing to give preferential treatment to the Pu family, Pu Hong was shaken for a while.

Later Zhao courtier Yao Yizhong had always occupied the right of the pass, and saw that the Later Zhao Emperor Shi Jian ordered Pu Hong to guard the Guanzhong when he had concerns in his heart, and at this time he heard that the Eastern Jin Dynasty promised to the Pu family father and son high-ranking officials Houlu, so he wrote a letter to express his willingness to remove the rebel minister Pu Hong for the Later Zhao Dynasty. After Emperor Shi Jian agreed, Yao Yizhong sent his fifth son Yao Xiang to lead 50,000 soldiers to attack Pu Hong, and Pu Hong counterattacked head-on, killing more than 30,000 Yao Xiang.

After Pu Hong returned to the camp, he saw Pu Jian, and after entering the camp tent, Lei Qiao'er and others entered the camp tent, knelt down and said to Pu Hong: "Pu Gong killed 30,000 Yao Xiang today, it can be seen that Hou Zhao can no longer tolerate us and others, we are willing to serve Pu Gong as the king, enter the Guanzhong, and hope that Pu Gong Jun will be judged." ”

Pu Hong sat on the main seat, looking at the people in the court, even if he had the intention of being the emperor, in the case of the Eastern Jin Dynasty allowing high-ranking officials to be generous, I don't know if there can be a fine work placed by the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the court, so he excused himself and said: "In the forty years since the fourth year of Yongjia, there are not a few people who have been called kings and emperors, but how many people really have the mandate of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Liang Leng said: "Pu Gong Ke still remembers that Pu Wenyu, the grandson of Pu Gong, has a prophecy on his back - Cao Fu should be called king, which shows that Pu Gong is called king by God's order. ”

After repeated persuasion by everyone, Pu Hong knew that Hou Zhao, who had been loyal for more than 30 years, could not tolerate him, not to mention that he was willing to reply to the Eastern Jin Dynasty after delaying for seven months. decided to change his surname to "Fu", and called himself the governor of Dadu, the general, the Dashan Yu, and the king of Sanqin. Ordered Lei Xiaoer to be the auxiliary general, Liang Leng to be the former general, and concurrently served as Zuo Changshi. Ordered Yuzun to be the rear general, and concurrently served as the right long history. Duan Ling was ordered to be the left general and concurrently served as the left Sima, and Wang fell to be the right general and concurrently served as the right Sima. Zhao Ju, a native of Tianshui, Niu Yi, a native of Longxi, and Xin Gao, a native of Beidi, were all appointed as Zhonglang, and Mao Gui, the chief of the Di tribe, was appointed as a single auxiliary minister. When the troops under Fu Hong heard the rumors, they saw that there were meritorious deeds to be built, and there were wealth and glory to be made, and their morale was greatly boosted for a while.

In leap February, in Yecheng, Ran Min changed his surname to Li under the pretext of the words "following Zhao Li" in the prophecy, and changed his surname to Li according to Yecheng, and implemented a general amnesty, and changed the year name to Qinglong. Later Zhao royal Shi Kun and others led 70,000 people to attack Yecheng, Ran Min led more than 1,000 cavalry to resist Shi Kun in the north of the city, and only Ran Min killed 3,000 heads. When Ran Min and Li Nong led 30,000 cavalry out of Beijing to attack Zhang Hedu and others, Shi Jian, who was trapped in Beijing, secretly summoned eunuchs to send a letter to summon Zhang Shen and others, and ordered them to take advantage of the situation to attack Yecheng.

The eunuch informed Ran Min of this, and Ran Min and Li Nong galloped back quickly, deposed and killed Shi Jian, and at the same time killed 38 people of Shi Husun and wiped out the entire Shi clan.

After the destruction of the Zhao State, Fu Hong heard the letter in Fangtou and said to the doctor Hu Wen who came to report the news: "After the destruction of the Zhao State, Ran Wei has not yet gained a firm foothold, which can be described as the time of the day; Fangtou is a military important place, and I am based here, which can be described as a geographical advantage; I led a hundred thousand, and one hundred thousand soldiers all supported me as king according to the will of heaven. Providence is like this, it can be seen that Ran Min Murong Jun can be slaughtered one day, and Yao Xiang's father and son should be like this. It is easier for me to take the world than Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty! ”

As he was talking, a soldier came in and said, "Qiyu Dadu, Later Zhao's former minister Ma Qiu led the crowd to return to Yecheng by way, can you give it?" ”

When Fu Hong heard this, he secretly thought to himself: Ma Qiu has been fighting for many years, and has been guarding Chang'an and other places for a long time, if Ma Qiu can be used for his own use, wouldn't it be easy to capture Guanzhong? After thinking about it, he summoned Fu Xiong, the general of the fourth son Longxiang, and ordered him to attack Ma Qiu head-on and lead the crowd to capture Ma Qiu alive.

When Fu Xiong led his troops to attack Maqiu from between the two mountains, Yuge pulled Qingluan and Fu Jian to sit on the hill of Fangtou, looking at the artemisia all over the ground, and the reed buds were still short. Yuge asked Fu Jian on the side: "Brother Fu Jian, do you really have the prophecy of 'Caofu should be the king' on your back?" Fu Jian was slightly embarrassed and said, "Yes." Yuge fiddled with the reed buds in his hand and said, "I don't believe it, you take off your clothes and let me see it!" Fu Jian froze when he heard this, and at this time, he saw a person walking out from behind the hill, and said with a smile: "You are going to marry me in the future, how can you look at other men's bodies at will?" ”

Seeing that it was Fu Chang, Yu Ge stood up in surprise and stared at Fu Chang fixedly, with a look of disbelief. Fu Chang was seriously injured when he fled from Fangtou with his father, and Yuge couldn't find any news about him in the months when he arrived in Fangtou, and at this time he saw him appear alive in front of him, and his heart was a surprise that he couldn't hide. Yu Ge's expression seemed to be expected by Fu Chang, who only touched Yu Ge's head and looked at the jujube red horse eating grass in the distance and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have starved and lost weight on the Fusang horse I sent you." ”

Yu Ge waved away the hand that Fu Chang put on his head, raised his head and pouted and said to Fu Chang, "Don't you have anything else to say to me?" ”

Fu Chang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but you have grown a lot taller." ”

Yu Song didn't follow and asked, "What else?" ”

Fu Chang smiled: "I am very happy to see you again in this life." ”
