"Bell ......"

At midnight, the bells from far and near broke the tranquility of the Shen house, and the courtyards were lit up one after another.

Shen Rui sat up and listened to the bell ringing outside, a little stunned.

"Second master......" Liu Ya hurriedly came in, her expression frightened: "What's the matter?" Outside there were bells, ringing in several places......"

Inside and outside the capital, bells and drums are constantly ringing, which is a national funeral.

Shen Rui was excited, and the Shentai suddenly became clear.

On the seventh day of the fifth month of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi died at this time?! As for Empress Zhang, the Spring and Autumn Period is just right, and she will jump all the way to the Jiajing Dynasty.

"Don't panic, restrain the little maids and mothers, and then listen to the housekeeper's arrangement." Shen Rui quickly got dressed and said to Liu Ya.

Liu Ya got the word and responded in a row.

Shen Rui came out of Jiuruju and hurried to the main courtyard.

The main courtyard is brightly lit, and the Xu family has already risen.

The death of the emperor and the empress are both state mourning, but the mourning system is different. Now as soon as the death knell rings in the palace, the Taoist temple bells inside and outside the capital continue to ring, which is the emperor's funeral.

"The emperor has driven the crane to the west......" The Xu family was not flustered, perhaps because the Shen family now has only one of the three masters in the court, and the change of throne does not have a great impact on the Shen family.

Shen Rui thought of Brother Shou, who was fifteen years old, and was a little worried, and then laughed at himself for worrying too much. Brother Shou seems to be lively and harmless, but if he really wanted to, he would not become the angry and freewheeling Emperor Zhengde. The child who grew up in the palace, even if he is an only child, has no worries about taking the heir, and is not a pure white rabbit.

At this time, the third master's family has also arrived.

Brother Lu was held by the third master, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and his little face was pale.

It seemed that he was startled by the bell, Xu Shi was distressed when he saw this, and hurriedly took it and touched Brother Lu'er's head: "Brother Lu is not afraid, Brother Lu is not afraid......"

"Auntie......" Brother Lu shrank in Xu's arms and choked quietly.

Xu first asked someone to cook the convulsive soup and feed Brother Lu, placed him in the warm pavilion, and watched him fall asleep before he came out to talk about something else.

The third old man's face was full of sadness, although he was a seven-grade petty official, but because he had a big brother in Shangshu, and because he was in the shadow, he was also fortunate to face the king. Today, although there is no civil and martial arts, he can treat his courtiers with leniency and tolerance, and he can be a benevolent monarch. Thinking of the emperor in his thirties, not yet the age of confusion, the third master thought of his own body, and gave birth to a little panic.

The third wife is a housewife, thinking about another matter, and asked Xu: "Sister-in-law, do you want someone to open a warehouse and prepare it......?"

For the national funeral, the subjects and people of the world must be vegetarian, and the cultural relics and officials will be ordered to serve women for 27 days, and military and civilian men and women will be dressed for 13 days. The Shen family only went through white things a few years ago, and everything should be ready-made, which is convenient.

Xu Shi nodded and said: "Get ready first...... and then said to the third master: "I will start crying and mourning tomorrow morning, and I will have to rest for three days, and it will take a few days of hard work before and after, you go to squint first and raise your spirit......

The third old man smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, where can I sleep......"

The bell outside is continuous, the day of mourning inside and outside the capital begins, and the temple has 30,000 bells.

Xu Shi no longer persuaded him, only instructed the kitchen to prepare vegetarian food, and took out half a box of ginseng health pills and handed it to the third wife: "This is made of Korean ginseng, the most warm tonic, you fill a few pills for the third master to carry, and use them when you are out of energy." ”

The third wife took it and was grateful. The national funeral is coming, and what the third wife is most worried about is her husband's body, crying, yamen resting, vegetarian diet, a few things add up, good people have to toss a few catties, like the third master is about to get sick if he is not careful.

Although Shen Rui is also a scholar, he is not a real scholar after all, and he feels that the death of Emperor Hongzhi is like the feeling that the second boot has finally landed, but he is faintly relieved. He is not an angry person, the third master and the third wife did not notice his abnormality, but the Xu family is used to seeing the world, and he still noticed the abnormality.

When the third wife served the third master and went back to change clothes, Xu said to Shen Rui with a straight face: "Although you have not yet entered the court, you are also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and now that the mountain has collapsed, you will show your ...... face in person."

Shen Rui stood up and listened, and couldn't help but be ashamed: "It's my son who is wrong." ”

The world attaches great importance to loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness, and "loyalty" is still in front of filial piety, even if it is in his own home, everyone is watching, if Shen Rui shows flaws, even if no one dares to accuse him in person, it is inevitable to question and despise it in his heart.

Seeing that Shen Rui understood, Xu's expression eased slightly, and said, "Be careful, it's not a big mistake, this is the ...... of the capital."

The bell outside continued to ring, and the whole neighborhood moved. None of the people who can live in the Gaomen compound of Renshoufang are white, and they must be white inside and outside. Like the Shen family, there are not many people who can get things neat after finding things from the warehouse.

It's still curfew, and you can't go out of the workshop, and everyone is waiting for dawn.

The people of the capital are relieved that this dynasty is the primogeniture inheritance system, the East Palace has been set early, the kings are vassals, and there is no need to worry about the change of the throne. In particular, Emperor Hongzhi has only one surviving son in the East Palace, and several ministers are three-legged, and there are no powerful ministers, so they are not afraid of giving birth to any mess.

At dawn, the third master was already wearing a black gauze hat and black horn belt, and went to Sishan to cry outside the door. Xu is a fateful woman, and she will enter the palace and cry on the fourth day of the funeral, that is, on the tenth day of the fifth month. As for the third wife, although the third master has obtained an official position, he is still in the two volumes of pardon for his mother and biological mother, and it is his turn to stay up to the sixth grade.

The door of the house has been white, Shen Rui was not idle, he was sent to Shen Ying's house by the Xu family, accompanied by half a car of white cloth, and two stewards who had accumulated years, which were mourned by Emperor Chenghua.

Shen Ying was already crying and was not at home, so Shen Rui followed Shen Quan to meet this Hongda master and the Guo family.

Both of them have changed into plain clothes, and Master Hongda's eyes are red.

The old man Hongda is more than half a hundred years old, after Jingtai, Tianshun, Chenghua, Hongzhi four dynasties, Jingtai, Tianshun years, he is still a teenager, do not know the world, for the good and bad of Chenghua and Hongzhi two dynasties, only the gentry and people who have experienced it know the difference. During the Chenghua years, there were all kinds of showdowns of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as well as the greed and rampant greed of the eunuchs, even the gentry like the Shen family were trembling. It wasn't until Emperor Daxing ascended the throne that he was a good emperor who cherished the people's livelihood, and the life of the army and the people really got better.

Although Master Hongda has never been a leader in his life, he also respects this good emperor.

Later, Grandma Ying and Grandma Quan San also came, knowing that Shen Rui had sent someone and a white cloth over, and Grandma Ying, who was in charge, was grateful. Although Shen Ying has been in Beijing for several years, but in the end, it is a foreign household, there is no shop in Beijing, and the savings of various fabrics in the treasury are also limited.

As for the two stewards who have been in charge for many years, they have both experienced the funeral of Emperor Chenghua, and they also came to help, Shen Ying is not of high grade, but he is a subordinate official of the East Palace, and it is a hot stove, how many people are watching, and it is impossible to be wrong at this time.

If there was no warning from the Xu family, Shen Rui would have had to comfort Master Hong, and since he had been admonished, he would have to make a sad appearance, looking at Shen Quan beside him and couldn't help but pay attention.

When Shen Rui said goodbye, Shen Quan stabbed him and whispered: "At a young age, how can you learn Taoism?" My dad thinks a lot about them when they are old, why are you sad and sad at a young age? ”

Shen Rui snorted lightly and said, "The third brother also said this in the academy? ”

Shen Quan choked and said half-loudly: "I can tell them this?" ”

They are all the disciples of the Hanlin Courtyard over there, no matter whether they have merit or not, they will engrave loyalty to the monarch and the country in their bones. If Shen Quanzhen didn't think much of the emperor's funeral in front of his classmates, he would be treated as a villain without a father.

Shen Rui suddenly remembered that the eyes of the Xu family looking at him were definitely the same as the way he looked at Shen Quan now, that is, "hating iron does not make steel", shook his head and said, "Third brother, you can have a snack......

Shen Quan glanced at Shen Rui, and Shen Rui said, "Third brother, don't worry about anything else, shouldn't you prepare Enke at this time?" ”

Shen Quan shook his head and said, "There may not be an Enke ......."

There was Enke in the first year of Chenghua, but not in the first year of Hongzhi, and it is really two to say whether there will be next year.

After returning from Shen Ying's house, Shen Rui closed his door to keep filial piety. I have kept the previous family filial piety, and now I repeat it again. The third master survived the three days of rest, and the others also followed the yamen colleagues.

During this period, the Ministry of Rites entered the treasure, and the East Palace ascended the throne of the emperor.

Although the yuan has not yet been changed, the imperial court is already a new situation. However, the new emperor is young, and the government is still decided by the three elders.

However, these are too far away for Shen Rui, but I just heard a few words from the mouth of the third master.

Although Shen Rui boasted that he had some friendship with Brother Shou, some of these friendships were for exploitation, and some of them were true, and he couldn't tell it himself. The imperial city and the palace city are separated by two walls, Brother Shou does not go out of the palace, the two are two worlds, and it is not Shen Rui's turn to comfort Brother Shou for the pain of losing his father, not to mention that with Shen Rui's identity, he should not know Brother Shou's identity.

Even on Gao Wenhu's side, Shen Rui didn't think about looking for it, after all, he was in the period of filial piety, not the time to travel. He only thinks about Brother Yishou's temperament, he can't stand the constraints the most, he is a master who can do whatever he wants, but several cabinet elders have been in control of the government for many years, and it is inevitable to rely on the old and sell the old, the conflict is certain, but he always has to wait until the national mourning is over, but he doesn't know that the first fire of the new emperor has been burned, not for the cabinet, but for the biological mother Zhang who has just been promoted to the queen mother.

In the Kunning Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was full of vegetarian clothes, no longer had the old glory, her eyes were swollen like rotten peaches, her face was pale, and she trembled, and said, "The emperor is blaming the palace?" ”

The little palace people standing at the door can't wait to shrink into a quail appearance, the queen mother is the mother of the son of heaven, that is, the emperor, there is filial piety, and she is not qualified to blame the queen mother, but the newly baked little emperor has not waited until the national funeral is over, so he came to the queen mother's palace to "ask for guilt", if this spreads outside, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar.

In exchange for an emperor who cherishes his reputation, even if he is full of doubts and resentment, he can't do such a thing, but he is raised by the emperor himself, and the father-son relationship is extraordinary.

The first emperor did not die suddenly, but it was almost the same as sudden death, and what was recorded on the pulse case was a wind chill, and the imperial doctor also asked for a pulse every day, but who would have thought that it was a small wind chill that would kill a generation of benevolent monarchs......
