At this time, the Jingshi has released news in the palace that the military ministers will be awarded the title of "Fengtian Crime Pushing".

The emperor first revealed the matter of rewarding meritorious service, precisely to "discuss merit". When everyone is rewarded, there is always a difference between thick and thin, and the palace will first explore the propositions of the generals, and may be able to convince the public.

In the past few days, it has been a few happy and a few sad......

On the willow house, white cloth and white flags are hanging at this moment, and even the couplets on the gate have been replaced with white paper and black letters. The Taoist priests in the middle hall are blowing and beating, and are singing scriptures for the transcendence of the dead; Paper money was sprinkled inside and outside the hall, and the incense candles and paper money in the courtyard were burned with smoke, as if in a temple. The way for Taoist priests to surpass the undead is to open up the "Twelve Palaces" and worship the various docks of the Yin Cao Difu, probably to open up relationships and take more care of the deceased.

However, the house was very desolate, only Liu Sheng was alone in the spirit, and he found some fellow villagers and relatives in the back to fill the scene. Because except for Liu Sheng himself, the whole Liu family is dead!

Liu Sheng is tall and big, and his skin is relatively white; But at this time his face was sallow and haggard, and his eyes were swollen, and he looked very sad.

The colleagues who came to worship advised him: "The festival mourns and changes." ”

Zhang Fu came to the mourning hall, bowed to the spiritual seat a few times, and then turned around. Liu Sheng held the spirit card and kowtowed to Zhang Fu with tears in his eyes.

"Alas!" Zhang Fu sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, General Liu should not be too sad." You must rest your body and leave another queen for the Liu family. ”

Liu Sheng thanked him. Zhang Fu didn't say much, walked out of the mourning hall, and took a seat at the white table in the courtyard.

Zhang Fu quietly watched and observed the guests who came today. In addition to Liu Sheng's relatives and friends, the guests who came were mainly military generals from the court, and most of the generals Zhang Fu knew each other; But not all the generals of the DPRK and China came, and the identity of the person who came is very interesting.

The former general of the Han Dynasty's Mansion who was the "Crime Cutting Army" only one person came, and that was Wei Da. Qu Neng, Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Wang Bin, Liu Ying, who just returned to Beijing, etc., none of them came! Veda was like someone who had been elected, just to do his best.

And almost all of the "heroes who have not yet been cleared up" have come; Even Qiu Fu, who has always supported Zhu Gaoxu, also gave a gift and went to the mourning hall in person.

Qiu Fu and other generals who fought bloodily together in the "Battle of Jingjing", no matter how many conflicts occurred between them later, still seem to retain a friendship of blood and fire. When everyone saw Liu Sheng so miserable, they all came to mourn and give gifts.

Zhang Fu waited for a long time, but still didn't see Wu Gao and He Fu. And Xu Huizu naturally can't come, he can't even get out of the mansion now; A few days ago, he was ordered by the new monarch to cut off the Duke of Wei from the Duke of Wei on the grounds of abuse!

Something hasn't changed for millennia. Whenever you do red and white things, in addition to being lively, the relationship between people is warm and cold, and you can roughly see it in this kind of thing. To come? How do I give a gift? The difference is significant.

Zhang Fu observed it and felt that the contradictions between the "founding heroes" and the "Jingyan heroes" are still there, and freezing three feet is not a day's cold!

And the upstart "heroes of crime" have a cold and alienated attitude towards the above two nobles. Among them, Sheng Yong and others have broken away from the identity of "founding heroes" and re-turned into confidants of the new emperor and "heroes of crime"; But in their attitude towards the old generals, they are obviously still slightly close to He Fu and Wu Gao......

At this moment, someone suddenly whispered: "Someone is in the palace!" ”

Zhang Fu turned his head to look in the direction of the gate, and sure enough, he saw the eunuch Wang Gui coming in with a few eunuchs with black cloth tied around his arms. The eunuchs carried heavy boxes, and it seemed that the emperor had sent a generous bereavement pension.

"Princess-in-law, father-in-law......" Many generals got up and greeted them very politely.

Wang Gui also returned the salute with his fists and exchanged a few words.

Zhang Fu saluted Wang Gui, sat down in his seat, and watched Wang Gui enter the mourning hall.

At this moment, Zhang Fu suddenly realized a problem: Liu Sheng just looks miserable now, maybe the future will be good!

Although Liu Sheng was the enemy of the Han army in the Battle of Huguang, and almost defeated the left flank of the Han army's army on the main battlefield; But Liu Sheng took the initiative to surrender afterwards, and his family was also killed by the people who abolished the prince, and the relationship with the East Palace was completely broken, and Liu Sheng became a person that the new emperor could almost completely trust!

Liu Sheng's situation is similar to Xue Lu at the beginning! Xue Lu took the initiative to kill Qu Neng's whole family and became the person who could not surrender to the Han army; And Liu Sheng was killed by the East Palace, and it was impossible for him to be willing to collude with those people in the East Palace anymore.

And Zhang Fu's current situation is much better than Liu Sheng's, but it may only be temporary; It's really hard to say who will end up better......

Zhang Fu sat at Liu Sheng's house for a while, and then left home without eating.

As the head of the Zhang family, he first went to see his mother and talked about the funeral of Liu Sheng's family. He returned to an upper room and received a visit from his wife and son.

Son Zhang Bozhong was sitting on a chair and was carried into the upper room! Zhang Bozhong has been paralyzed in his limbs since he was a child, and it is difficult to move; It is useless for him to get married, and his wife is a good life for widows and widows.

When Zhang Fu saw his son, his face was not good-looking, and he immediately sighed.

He pondered: In the long run, can the Zhang family's situation really be better than the Liu family?

Zhang Fu is still a relative of the emperor. Even if Gao Chi has become a "waste prince" who has committed a big crime, Zhang Fu's grandson is still a clan...... However, at this time, the grandson of the sect, I am afraid that not only is it not a good thing for the grandfather's family, but it will make Zhang Fu suspicious!

For thousands of years, people have often used marriage to bring family ties closer, and of course there is a reason for it. Most of the time, it's really a win-win and a loss-got!

Zhang Fu sent his son away, went straight to the study, and beckoned the maid to grind the ink.

In the sound of "rustling ......", Zhang Fu paced in the room, pondering and brewing the music.

Recently, the imperial court wanted to reward meritorious heroes, and Zhang Fu decided: not only do you not ask for merit, but you also have to take the initiative to ask for a knight!

…… At first, Zhang Fu surrendered with the main force of the sailor division and made a great contribution; Zhu Gaoxu was very happy and promised to give Zhang Fu the title of "Rongguo Gong". Zhang Fu believed that Zhu Gaoxu was sincere at that moment, but he didn't believe that promise at all!

After the "Battle of Jingyan", those generals were slowly and gradually cleared, and Zhang Fu saw a lot. If, like Li Jinglong, he surrenders and makes meritorious contributions, and he is still complacent and proud of his achievements, there will be no good end.

Zhang Fu has recognized the grim reality. The previous dreams have come to naught, and now as long as the family can save their lives and wealth, it will be a very good ending!

He looked out the window and sighed, and secretly thought: The moon is full and lacking, and people also have ups and downs, and fate is really unpredictable.
