Without a Trace Volume 7 Winning the Throne Chapter 38 Benevolence
γγγγγγγ
The funeral of the fifth prince Feng Wuzhao was not grand, after all, he was a royal family who was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, so after the body was sent back to the palace, except for a few ministers who went to worship, there were always few people in the mourning hall. His concubine Qin had already died of depression long before him, so there were only two side concubines and a few concubines who were mourning and crying on both sides of the corpse. Since Feng Wuzhao was convicted and imprisoned, the subordinates in the palace have all been scattered, and they, the women who were originally pampered, can only do everything themselves. If it weren't for the Zongren Mansion allocating silver taels every year, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have a way to live.
Although they had been tired for a few days, the young women with light makeup and plain makeup were screaming louder and louder every time they thought of their future embarrassment, so that even the officials who came to worship with a pillar of incense came and went in a hurry, and no one dared to stay too long. Most of the money in the array book is dozens of taels, but for the palace that no one cares about, these pieces of silver are extremely rare.
Concubine Yang moved her body with difficulty, and she had already fainted from crying several times. Among the several side concubines and concubines, she was the only one who left a little bit of blood and bones. I was expecting my husband to see the light of day again, but who expected Feng Wuzhao to go so soon. It's a pity that her son is not yet ten years old, and the court has not yet returned the will of the prince, so there is really no way to live in the future. Even her maiden family will not take in a convicted prince's side concubine, she has already made up her mind, if there is still no explanation after Feng Wuzhao is buried, she will have to find a white silk to kill herself.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and she heard a little guy shouting loudly and loudly: "The prince has arrived!" This was not a small sound, and everyone inside was stunned. During Feng Wuzhao's conviction. This Zongren Mansion Sect has been here a few times, and they are afraid when they see that face, and now the backbone of the palace is dead. Didn't the imperial court send him to deal with the female dependents in the house? Thinking of this, the women's cries became even louder.
As soon as the wind scoundrel entered the mourning hall, he heard a shocking cry. I couldn't help but shake my head and show helplessness.
Of course, he knew that Feng Wuzhao was depressed because of his depressed mood, and when he heard the news that Feng Wuzhao was in a state of flux, he passed away depressed, but what was the use of saying this now? He motioned to the chief of the ground beside him to light a pillar of incense, and stood in front of the corpse and prayed silently for a while. Only then did he order someone to go to the book of rites, and the workman wrote his name neatly, and then added the words "one thousand taels".
He casually put the book aside on a few cases, and then frowned and asked: "This funeral is too simple, although the prince of Wuzhao is gone, but after all, he is still a child of the royal family, how can he be so lazy, those things are becoming more and more careless!" His face sank, and he commanded in exasperation, "Spread the king's order." Go to the Zongren Mansion to transfer a few capable people to come over to manage it, there are all female dependents here, and you can't do anything if you want to. This palace is still there. It's so deserted inside, presumably all those white-eyed wolf-like minions have run out? He coughed violently as he spoke, and the two elders next to him hurriedly and cautiously stepped forward to support the old man.
Feng Lizhi's last sentence was obviously said to the few women below, but at this time, these women were still intimidated by the power of the old prince. For a moment, no one answered. After a while, the side concubine Yang moved her knees and took two steps forward, and after kowtowing, she pleaded and pleaded: "Back to the prince's words, since His Royal Highness was convicted, all those people in the palace have been scattered, and there are still many people who blackmailed the money in the tent, and now what is left for these concubines is an empty palace." Lord, although His Royal Highness my family is guilty, but his children are still young after all, I beg the prince to show mercy for the sake of this bit of blood and blood, otherwise the concubine and others will have no way to live! β
Feng Lizhi only then noticed that the child on the side of the Lingshu, because Feng Wuzhao had no concubine, so the position of the prince has not been decided, and I think this child is the last bit of blood in the world. Although he was extremely disgusted with Feng Wuzhao's behavior back then, everyone was dead, and Feng Ligue would not be held accountable so much, not to mention that the emperor should have a decree sooner or later. He motioned for a little eunuch next to him to carry the child over, only to see him with clear eyebrows, his dark pupils shining, and he looked at Feng Zhi without fear.
Seeing that the hooligan had not expressed his position for a long time, Yang couldn't help but feel more anxious in his heart, and said again and again:
"Lord, although this child is on the genealogy, but he does not have an official name, His Royal Highness has gone, in the future, he will be inferior even if he reads or runs errands, I beg the prince to make a statement to the emperor, give him a small name, so as to comfort the spirit of the prince in the sky."
"Hmm." The scoundrel replied noncommittally, and just as he wanted to say something, a young man stumbled in. "Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Everyone in the mourning hall was stunned for a moment, and they had naturally heard of the rumors outside, so no one expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had just obtained the throne, would come to worship in person, so they all had a feeling of being at a loss.
The wind hooligan was about to go out, but suddenly his feet were soft, and he couldn't move. Although he already knew that his body was getting weaker and weaker, he couldn't bear to be rude in front of people, so he was busy ordering two
He helped him out. Before he had taken a few steps, Feng Wuxi's figure had already appeared in front of Feng Zhizhi and grabbed him first.
"Uncle Huang, your body is not suitable for fatigue, so you don't need to be so formal." After Feng Wuxian said softly, he looked up at the mourning hall. I saw that there were some white curtains scattered on the ground, and although the oil lamps were lit, they were helpless against the surrounding light, and even during the day, it seemed a little gloomy, and the whole mourning hall was shrouded in a sad and bleak atmosphere. There were some men and women in white filial piety clothes kneeling next to them, and everyone had Qi on their faces.
Feng Wuxian personally picked up a pillar of incense, and actually bowed in front of the spirit, and then got up and took the honor book. His actions couldn't help but give birth to a ray of hope for the surrounding female dependents, and when the crown prince arrived, other officials would probably come to pay their respects, so that the originally depressed palace might improve. Feng Wuxian looked at the few strokes of the array instrument, his brows were already wrinkled deeper and deeper, although the brotherly relationship between him and Feng Wuzhao was extremely weak, but seeing him so sloppy after his death, there was always a little unhappiness in his heart. When he saw the words one thousand taels written on the back of the wind scoundrel, his face calmed down a little.
He glanced at the ladies below, and sighed deeply, if it was another royal family, it must be a filial son who came out to support the faΓ§ade at this time, how could it be so embarrassing as now? "Although the fifth brother's prince has not yet been returned, my father will have a grace when he turns back, so you will mourn by the way." He glanced at the child on the ground again, and was slightly stunned, "This is the fifth brother's only son?" He almost couldn't believe that the child in front of him was only dressed as much as ordinary people's children, thinking that when the wind was arrogant and arrogant, did he ever think of the situation of today's wives and concubines and children?
The Yang family was about to reply, but Feng Lizhi spoke first: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this son is the only bit of blood left by Wuzhao, but he is not a descendant, but if the emperor has a decree to pardon Wuzhao's crimes, naturally this son can still attack the knight." Seeing Feng Wuxi's expression, Feng Gui knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to be a good person, and immediately suggested, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to pay respects, he must have remembered the original brotherly love, if His Royal Highness and this king jointly ask for a favor from the emperor, then the palace will have a new name, and this funeral will be decent." β
Feng Wuxian nodded, obviously approving of Feng Zhi's proposal. "Uncle Huang can rest assured, this matter will definitely be the master, the Si people must have passed away, with the benevolence of the father, he should take into account the aftermath of the fifth brother, and this child will also be treated kindly." As soon as he finished saying this, the Yang family below slammed his head three times in a row, and thanked him with tears in his eyes: "The concubine has thanked the prince for his great kindness!" Thank you, Prince of Hooligans, for your grace! She took a few more steps on her knees and pressed the child to the ground, "Haorong, don't you hurry up and thank the prince and the prince!" β
Haorong was forced to kowtow a few times by his mother just for a moment, but he quickly raised his head stubbornly, and his deep gaze did not stop on the faces of the two adults above, and he was extremely bold. Feng Wuxian and Feng Gangster didn't feel anything, but the Yang family was frightened, for fear that their son's rudeness would ruin the big thing. After scolding again and again to no avail, she couldn't care about much, and the split was a slap, so strange that Haorong only covered his face, neither shouting nor crying, still staring at the two big people above.
"This kid has an extraordinary character." Feng Luzhi suddenly said without a head, and then added, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this king has asked the Zongren Mansion to transfer a few people over to help with the funeral, and after inviting the emperor, the matter here can be resolved." However, His Highness has every opportunity, so there is no need to delay here. β
Feng Zhuangzhi's mention came abruptly, but Feng Wuxian was just stunned and understood. He came to pay tribute today because of a momentary idea, although he sent a favor, but after all, Feng Wuzhao's crime has not been eliminated, and it is indeed inconvenient for him to stay for too long. Looking at the book of array rites in his hand, he took the pen, thought for a moment, wrote "one thousand two hundred taels", and then ordered the two guards who were accompanying him to send the silver ticket to the tent, and discussed a few words with the scoundrel before leaving.
The news that the crown prince personally came to pay tribute to Feng Wuzhao immediately spread, and those ministers who avoided it were suddenly dumbfounded, especially those who once regarded Feng Wuzhao as the true son of destiny, but now they have changed the grass on the wall, and they are even more uneasy. Although Feng Wuxian has been in the court, there are few accurate words about the true temperament of this crown prince, so many officials have taken the opportunity to worship, and the array is also compared to the examples of Feng Wuxian and Feng Gangster. In addition, the funeral ceremony is handled by the skilled hands of the Zongren Mansion, and these funeral ceremonies are enough to do the affairs of Feng Wuzhao's posthumous affairs.
On May 28, the twenty-ninth year of Wanlie, because the crown prince Feng Wuxian and the prince Feng Hugli made a statement, the emperor issued an edict to exempt the late five princes from the crime of Feng Wuzhao, and restored the prince of the county. So far, the people of the capital are all benevolent and virtuous. Lingyun Zhiyi Without a Trace Volume 7 Winning the Heir Chapter 38 Benevolence
