Linqing Palace, inside and outside a plain color, the white flags fluttering in the autumn wind, all the lanterns and candles, are changed to white, all the gorgeous things are put away, the palace up and down, permeated in a sad atmosphere visible to the naked eye, just like the autumn wind that has been exposed, people are worried.

The mourning hall has already been set up, and on the spiritual seat, wine, fruit offerings and incense burners are placed with a sense of ceremony, which is smoky and fragrant, and makes people cry. After the big gathering, Gao Xingzhou's body has been placed in the coffin, except for the brocade clothes and pearl and jade things, obeying Gao Xingzhou's will, and placing the armor, sword, war knife, and carved bow that he has fought for many years in it, almost filling the gap in the coffin.

The spirit card is high, and the regulations are written, all according to the rules of the county king, and Liu Chengyou personally drafted the name for Gao Xingzhou, called Wu Mu. and Prime Minister Feng Dao wrote an epitaph for Gao Xingzhou.

Gao Huaide is the only son of Gao Xingzhou, naturally as the main mourner, because his son is still young and can't look at things, so he chose a nephew in Beijing from Gao's close relatives to protect the funeral.

In the midst of mourning, the cloak is scattered, the linen is worn with filial piety, and the face is sad, thanking the guests who came to mourn. Before Gao Xingzhou's death, his status was noble, his reputation was very high, and he was a little qualified civil and military in the old capital, and they all came in plain clothes to mourn.

Liu Chengyou went out of the palace a little later, and came with the noble concubine Gao, plus the third prince Liu Xi. In front of the mourning hall, looking at a group of civil and military officials, not to mention the civil ministers, but those military generals basically came spontaneously, and there was no shortage of generals from outside Beijing and, who came when they heard the news. Although the Gao family is not as prosperous as the Fu family, its influence in the army can be seen.

Of course, Liu Chengyou also believes that among these civil and military forces, more people value Gao Xingzhou's identity and he, the son of heaven, who is a great man, and the favor of the Gao family.

Entering the hall to salute, Liu Chengyou maintained a solemn face, sighed sadly, and said to Gao Huaide: "The deceased is gone, Wanwang Festival mourns!" ”

Concubine Gao was in a bad mood in the past two days, Gao Xingzhou left suddenly, which made people unable to react at all, and the concubine also felt deeply remorseful because she couldn't see her father's last face, after all, it was not thousands of miles apart.

At this time, I finally drove out of the palace, feeling the atmosphere around me, and I was sad from it, and I burst into tears, and I couldn't stop dyeing the silk handkerchief. Seeing his mother crying, Liu Xi, the little prince who was sitting on the side, also followed, and the tears came as soon as he said it, crying and crying. Concubine Gao was in a wrong mood, Liu Chengyou sighed, stepped forward to help her up, and comforted softly.

"The lady is pregnant, I hope to take care, don't hurt your body, what happens after my father's death, I have my own brother to handle it!" Gao Huaide couldn't help but explain.

drove another cry, and the noble concubine returned to the palace with the emperor with her support. When the Son of Heaven was there, the crowd was solemn, and after the Son of Heaven left, the sad atmosphere was even stronger, but the civil and military personnel present subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

On the royal chariot, the noble concubine snuggled up to Liu Chengyou, her plump and graceful body was tightly attached, although she was pretty and filial, it was rare to see Gao's appearance of pity, but at this time, Liu Chengyou did not have any dirty thoughts.

Seeing that his eyes were red, he looked up at Liu Chengyou and said, "Official, I want to go out of the palace and return to the house to guard the soul of my deceased father!" ”

Liu Chengyou frowned and said: "Hiding can be good at taking care of the future, your body is inconvenient, it is inevitable to touch the scene, or recuperate in the palace, and on the day of burial, go out of the palace again, and send the woman on the last journey!" ”

However, the noble concubine, who has always been obedient and obedient to Liu Chengyou, looked at him stubbornly this time: "Please make the official family complete!" ”

"That's it, you have this filial piety, how can I forcibly take away the love, go back to the palace and clean up, I agreed!" Liu Chengyou sighed.

"Xie Guan's family!" Concubine Gao couldn't hold back her tears.

When he returned to the palace, he was sitting on the imperial case, pondered for a long time, summoned Li Fang, stared at him, and asked: "Have you remembered all the generals who violated the system and entered Beijing to mourn without permission?" ”

"All listened to His Majesty's wishes, and recorded it, a total of thirteen people, all of whom were generals of the Forbidden Army and the Town Army, and the others either took leave or were on vacation, so they were not recorded! Your Majesty, please! Facing the emperor's gaze, Li Fang was a little cautious, and the thin paper presented was obviously as light as a wanderer, but he looked like he was holding a boulder, and his hands were shaking slightly.

After taking it, Liu Chengyou browsed it, there were no high-level generals, they were all middle-level officers, Gao Xingzhou's old department, with a little emotion, said: "These people are all loyal and righteous people, the court should be of great use, Mingyuan, do you say?" ”

Hearing the question, Li Fang still responded cautiously: "Your Majesty is right!" ”

Of course, what Li Fang's expression revealed was clearly "Your Majesty said yes", but it was not easy to say it clearly. Seeing his cautious appearance, Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "Go and see, what's new!" ”

"Yes!" Li Fang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, feeling a deep feeling in his heart.

The Son of Heaven's honor and favor for the Gao family can be described as profound, almost not as good as the Fu family produced by the queen and Concubine Hui, but although he only let him record the names of some middle and lower-level officers, Li Fang has a feeling that the saint is unpredictable and walking on thin ice.

Liu Chengyou went through the list again, picked it up gently, took out the key, and locked it in one of his "secret files" that had accumulated for many years.

For these officers, Liu Chengyou has no intention of punishing them, after all, their generation is also considered to be out of morality, plus Gao Xingzhou died for two days, it is inconvenient for him to do anything to his old department, which is too ugly to eat, which is not conducive to his image as a great man of heaven.

However, after all, it is a violation, there is no big punishment, but the small commandment is indispensable, there must be a warning, and there are also the officials of the other generation, and there are also the mistakes of the royal majesty who are not strict, which are recorded in the file on Liu Chengyou's side......

"Your Majesty, the defense of Jinzhou made Feng Hui die of illness, and his subordinate generals pushed his son Feng Jiye to stay behind, and he went to the imperial court, please seal it!" Li Fang brought Liu Chengyou a piece of news.

Feng Hui, the defense envoy of Jinzhou, is also a veteran of the battlefield, who has been in war for a long time, has been in four dynasties, and was born in the famous "Silver Spear Army". Since the fourth year of the Later Jin Tianfu, in the past ten years, he has twice left the town of Lingwu, confined Liangzhou and Hexi, and used both grace and care, and also worked together with Yao Yuanfu to break the party, and made remarkable achievements.

However, in the fourth year of Qianyou, Liu Chengyou issued an edict to send Zheng Guogong Shi Hongzhao to the border as the envoy of Shuo Fangjie, and Feng Hui was naturally transferred. It is said that he is nearly sixty years old, his health is broken, and he is unable to resist the imperial court even if he has the heart.

Jinzhou, located in the southwest of the Han Dynasty, is also a narrow place, bordering the Qinling Mountains in the north, Yiba Mountain in the south, and the Han River runs through it. The original defense envoy Kang Yanhuan, like Zhang Jianxiong, the assassin of Puzhou who was killed by Guo Rong last year, also took advantage of the end of the Jin Dynasty to become self-reliant and surrender to Cheng.

After Zhang Jianxiong's death, Liu Chengyou remembered this person and simply transferred Feng Hui to Jinzhou. Kang Yanhuan tried to disobey in vain, and was beheaded by Feng Hui and sent to Tokyo. What made Liu Chengyou dissatisfied was that when Kang Yanhuan was in office in Jinzhou, he amassed a large amount of wealth, and none of them were delivered to Kaifeng, and it is said that they were all divided by Feng Hui's sons.

Now, Feng Hui is dead, but his son wants to be the successor, and he dares to ask for a seal in the air.

"Huh!" Liu Chengyou threw the song on the case, raised his head and asked, "What day is today?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, July 10th of the fifth year of Qianyou!" Li Fang replied.

Liu Chengyou's tone was full of ridicule: "I still think that time has gone back more than ten years, or is it still the division of Fang Town, and the father and son succeed it?" Who is this Feng Jiye, who dares to ask for an official from the court like this? ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Li Fang hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, Feng Jiye is the youngest son. In addition, the Jinzhou judge secretly played the imperial court, saying that Feng Jiye killed his eldest brother when Feng Hui was seriously ill in order to fight for family property. The subordinates of Jinzhou invited the court to play, and they were also coerced by Feng Jiye! ”

"Well done! It's the first time I've encountered such a situation in all these years of being in power! Liu Chengyou smiled angrily, and instructed Li Fang: "Let the prime ministers discuss and discuss, how to deal with it!" Although Jinzhou is narrow-minded, it is still the land of the Han Dynasty, and it cannot tolerate this kind of rebellion and rampant murder of brothers! ”

"Yes!"

The matter of Jinzhou, as far as Liu Chengyou is concerned, is just a trivial matter, so many feudal towns and festivals are easily handled by him, a little Feng Jiye, perverse, can't make any waves. However, the situation in Jinzhou, falling under the background of the Han court's reform of power and rectification of internal affairs, seems to be somewhat special.

Weiji, the noble concubine Gao, went out of the palace and returned to the house to keep the old man's spirit. Liu Chengyou immediately ordered Qin Tianjian to measure Feng Shui for Gao Xingzhou, select the burial place, and the funeral day, and design the tomb with the Ministry of Works, and allocate money and grain to build it.

The title of King of Linqing, Liu Chengyou wanted to succeed him with Gao Huaide, but Gao Huaide refused to resign. Liu Chengyou will reward him with the blessing of the country, and Gao Huaide said that he has been protected by his father and does not dare to ask for more.

Liu Chengyou admired Gao Huaide's heroism very much, but he still wanted to give Gao Xing Zhou's legacy, and promote Gao Huaide's title from the county marquis to the prince of Linqing County......

The dialogue between Liu Chengyou and Gao Huaide is, of course, an acting. For those who advocate "hereditary replacement", cool down, these years, Liu Chengyou has been controlling the reward of the title, the flood of the past, the first dynasty of the relic, when he died, he will be withdrawn, there is no reason to inherit.

However, the heroes of the founding of the country need Liu Chengyou to act cautiously.

Later, Liu Chengyou issued another edict, and when Gao Xingzhou was buried, Beijing Chinese martial arts and above were all gone.
