Chapter 118: Funeral
However, after a while, everyone arrived at the top of Zhang Cang's mourning hall, and as soon as they heard that the messenger sent by the Son of Heaven had arrived, everyone who was originally kneeling in the mourning hall turned around and paid homage to Liu Rong and others.
Liu Rongdang even took the edict of the Son of Heaven handed over by the attendant, and said: "The edict of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, everyone kneels to listen!" βγ
Hearing this, everyone present except Liu Rong knelt on the ground and listened to the edict of the Son of Heaven.
Liu Rong cleared his throat and read out in court: "Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, is a capable minister who followed Emperor Gao, and he died of illness at the end of the day.
His son Zhang Feng took the title of Marquis of Beiping! βγ
When Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, who turned the tide and supported the rivers and mountains of the Han family, died of illness, he was able to get the nickname Marquis Wu. The name of Liu Heng, the son of the first emperor, who is still being recited by the subjects of the world, is also a text. Hearing that the Son of Heaven actually gave his father the nickname of Marquis Wen, Zhang Feng was even happier than hearing that he had attacked the knighthood.
On his face, which was originally full of sadness, there was a hint of a smile, and Zhang Feng was busy kneeling and kowtowing and saying, "Thank you for your majesty's grace on behalf of your deceased father."
Liu Rong stepped forward to support Zhang Fengyan and said, "Beiping Hou, please get up quickly."
As soon as Zhang Feng took the edict, he immediately ran to his father's coffin, knelt down and picked up the edict with both hands, lowered his head and cried while saying: "Father, the Son of Heaven has given you the nickname Wenhou, and your spirit in heaven can rest in peace."
And Liu Rong on the side also stepped forward, took the incense candle handed by the slave of Zhang Feng's family on the side, and respectfully inserted it in front of Zhang Cang's coffin, and bowed down and bowed.
Not only because of the teacher Jia Yi, but after his home today, Liu Rong still has a little admiration in his heart for this master who he has never seen.
Seeing Liu Rong like this, Jia Yi, Shen Pei, Dusheng and others were naturally very pleased, and Zhang Feng even bowed forward and said: "Don't be an angel's gift, don't be an angel's gift."
"Wenhou is a capable minister of my Han family, how can he not be a mere courtesy."
But without waiting for Zhang Feng to say more, Jia Yi, who was standing on the side, said: "Beiping Hou, do you still know me?" βγ
Hearing this, Zhang Feng turned his head, looked at Jia Yi in front of him, and after some consideration, he said in surprise: "You are ...... You're Jia Sheng! βγ
"Naturally, it's me, and now that the teacher is dead, how can I not come to worship him."
Zhang Fengdang stepped forward to grab Jia Yi and said with a sad face: "Father heard about your marquis not long before he died, and even more. In other words, Jia Sheng is the most proud protΓ©gΓ© in his life, and it is enough to have this protΓ©gΓ© in this life."
Hearing the teacher say this, Jia Yi naturally had tears in his eyes, and saluted Zhang Cangzhi's coffin: "Student thank you for the teacher's praise."
After finishing speaking, he pulled Zhang Feng to Shen Pei and the three of them, and heard that they were all disciples of the Great Confucian Fuqiu Bo, and they were also the teachers and nephews of their fathers.
"The Marquis of Beiping and my teacher Fuqiu Bo are the same door, classmates are under the door of the sage Xunzi, and my Confucianism has always attached great importance to etiquette, so the three of us naturally want to worship here."
Later, Jia Yi asked to wear a filial piety robe, and the worship teacher saw that he was so determined, so he had to ask the servant to get a filial piety robe for him to wear on his body.
And Shen Pei, Du Sheng, and Bai Sheng also worshiped with Jia Yi.
In this way, only Liu Rong, the "messenger of the Son of Heaven" who seemed to have nothing to do with Zhang Cang, was left to hang on the spot.
Zhang Feng is naturally not a fool, how dare he put the messenger sent by the Son of Heaven aside for no reason, seeing this situation, he should even order someone to take Liu Rong to the main hall to rest.
Zhang Feng arched his hand and said: "Don't blame the angels, the funeral of my father has not passed, and I can't serve the envoy in person, and I ask the angel to move to the main hall to rest."
Liu Rong replied: "Kanghou doesn't have to be polite, the funeral of Beiping Hou naturally can't be delayed." And how can I live in the main hall of the palace in the Kanghou Mansion, this is inappropriate."
"When an angel comes here to preach an edict, how can an angel dwell in a chamber."
In the end, under Zhang Feng's persuasion, Liu Rong had no choice but to accept and live in the main hall of his home.
That night, Zhang Feng even found a few beautiful women of young age and wanted to send them to Liu Rong's room.
made Liu Rong a big one, Liu Rong is not a lustful person, and if Gillian knows about this, it will be a big trouble to go back and tell Liu Rong.
Even if he refused Zhang Fengzhi's invitation, it was not uncommon for the concubines in the family to serve the distinguished guests in the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Ji, who gave birth to Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, was originally a beauty in the palace of Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao.
When Liu Bang passed through Zhao from Dongyuan County, Zhang Ao sacrificed Zhao Ji to serve Liu Bang. That night, Zhao Ji was favored by Liu Bang, but she didn't want to be pampered once, so Zhao Ji became pregnant and gave birth to Liu Chang..................
And Zhang Feng learned that the angel bluntly refused, so he was a little uneasy, and said secretly, "Could it be that the angel thinks that such a woman is not good?"
But in this Dongyuan City, where are there other women to choose from."
The house where Jia Yi lived was not far from Liu Rongzhi, so he naturally heard the movement outside, and after laughing, he found Zhang Fengzhi in front of him.
"Kang Hou don't have to worry, this son is definitely not a lustful person, so he will refuse you."
Hearing Jia Yi say this, Zhang Fengcai relaxed slightly.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Fengcai opened his mouth and asked Jia Yidao: "Who is this son, you are among the candidates of the Nine Qings, and you have to act as a deputy envoy."
Zhang Feng was curious about this question for a long time, and since he saw everyone, Zhang Feng saw that everyone who was with this envoy was acting according to the envoy's intentions.
Jia Yidang even approached Zhang Feng, "Who is more noble than Liehou?" βγ
Hearing this, Zhang Fengyi frowned, those who are more noble than the candidates are only the princes and kings and the heirs of the Son of Heaven.
When Zhang Feng first saw Liu Rong, he saw that this was a young man who had not reached the crown, to say that it was the prince king, at this time, Zhang Feng, the prince of the Son of Heaven, knew that there was no one of such age, and it was impossible for the Son of Heaven to send the princes and kings here when the edict was preached......
Then there is only one possibility, this person is the son of the Son of Heaven!
Although Zhang Feng lived in Hedong with his father, Hedong was not far from Chang'an, and Zhang Cang still had some relatives and friends in the court.
And Zhang Fengke heard that there were more than ten sons under his knees today, but the Son of Heaven was particularly fond of the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong, and even ordered him to enter the court to participate in politics.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feng was a little surprised: "Could it be that this is the emperor's ............."
Before Zhang Feng finished speaking, Jia Yi interrupted him, "You can't know it."
In this way, when the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong arrived here, where did Zhang Feng still sit, even if he found a house slave again, he took out the brocade treasured at home and replaced the bedding in Liu Rong's house.
He also ordered the slave maid to keep an eye on the carbon furnace in the house at all times, not to extinguish it, and had the heart to find a few servants to warm Liu Rong's bed, but after thinking about it, it was still forgotten............
Liu Rongben was in the room to read the book he had taken from Tianlu Pavilion before the trip, but after a while, several servants entered the room and changed the things in the room.
Seeing the brocade on the bed, Liu Rong's jaw was about to fall, he had never worn brocade clothes for more than ten years, but today he had to sleep on a bed full of brocade fox fur......
The second day was the day of Zhang Cang's burial, and Zhang Feng went to Liu Rong's room early in the morning to pay a visit.
After he left the room, Liu Rong saw that Zhang Feng had become so attentive, and said secretly: Could it be that I was exposed? !
Because it was the day of the burial, there was not much in the Beiping Marquis Mansion early, and Liu Rong originally wanted to go together.
But after Zhang Feng's hard persuasion, he had to stay in the house.
After breakfast, seeing that there was no one in his house, Liu Rong decided to come out unexpectedly, and also take a good look at the customs of the people of Dongyuan County.
And the sentence before his father left, he could go into the people to investigate the people's situation, and Liu Rong still remembered it clearly.
After changing into his usual clothes, he was going to go out. When he arrived at Dongyuan County the day before yesterday, Tang Wu ordered the five hundred soldiers to be stationed outside the city in case of accidents.
He personally led more than a dozen strong men, took off their uniforms, and wore the clothes of ordinary people to enter the city with Liu Rong and others. Seeing that His Royal Highness wanted to travel, Tang Wu naturally wanted to follow.
When he and more than ten soldiers tied their long swords around their waists, they followed Liu Rong's footsteps closely.
When he came the day before yesterday, he only cared about Zhang Cang's house and didn't care about the rest of the city, but Liu Rong clearly remembered that on the day he came to Dongyuan, there were still people on the street, and he didn't see a few people on the road when he traveled today.
When he came to the fork in the road, Liu Rong saw an old man walking slowly from the side of the road with a cane.
Liu Rong immediately walked in front of the old man, arched his hand, and said, "The elder stays, can the kid ask the elder if there is something?" βγ
Looking up at the person in front of him, the old man stopped and said, "I don't know why the noble man asked?" βγ
Seeing Liu Rong wearing a suit made of silk silk, followed by more than a dozen strong men, the old man saw that the young man in front of him must be the heir of the eunuch's family.
"Don't blame the elderly, it's just that the market is so empty today."
The old man smiled, "The noble man must be a foreigner, I don't know when it is."
Hearing this, Liu Rong and Tang Sheng looked at each other, and just wanted to ask: What day is today?
Seeing this, he continued: "There is a Beiping Marquis Zhang Cang in Dongyuan County, where the old man lives, and today is the day of the burial of the Beiping Marquis, and the people in the market on weekdays are all going to the funeral of the Beiping Marquis.
The old decay is too old to bear, if not, I will definitely go to the funeral of the Marquis of Beiping."
can let the people spontaneously send a funeral for it, it seems that this Zhang Cang still has an excellent reputation in Dongyuan County on weekdays............
In this way, Liu Rong asked again: "I naturally know the Marquis of Beiping, but why did the people go to his funeral?" βγ
"This year, there was a drought in Hedong, and the corn harvest in the fields was not harvested, and after the taxes were paid, the remaining grain was even more difficult to survive.
It was the Marquis of Beiping who took out the surplus grain from his family and distributed it to the poor family, so that he could survive this year of disaster."
