In fact, Yang Mu crossed over, and at the beginning, the court was in a mess, which was the most difficult time.

There is a strong enemy outside, and there is a great trouble inside.

At the beginning, if Fan Hongji hadn't discerned the general trend and led a group of nobles to take refuge, maybe he would really not have been able to get through those difficult years.

Now, the internal and external troubles have subsided, Fan Hongji has been conscientious for more than ten years, and has made great contributions to the country, which can be regarded as a high level of hard work.

Over the years, there have been many ministers and lords who have passed away, but as the emperor, Yang Mu has at most issued a holy decree and is sympathetic.

But this time, he felt the need to come to the door in person to offer his condolences.

In terms of the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Fan Hongji is indeed loyal to him, even if the army besieged the city, he did not defect and rebel, and the monarch and the minister have gotten along very well over the years.

From the perspective of the emperor's mental skills, Fan Hongji is the old prime minister, and at the same time represents a group of interests, if he goes to see it, it is also a means to win people's hearts, which is done for the people of the world to see, so that the subjects and the people know what the emperor's attitude towards the old ministers is, as long as the civil and military officials do it well, even if it is a minister, they can get this honor.

Therefore, after Yang Mu learned the news, he immediately stopped shopping, and he didn't have time to sort out the clue he just had, so he directly asked the waiter to drive and go to Fan's mansion.

It just so happened that the queen was also there, and the two walked together.

Half an hour later, the carriage slowly came to the gate of Fan's mansion.

After waiting for the carriage to approach, Yang Mu looked and saw that the car in front of Fan's Mansion was like a flowing water, a crowded appearance, and the open space in front of the mansion was not small, full of carriages, which could be called a place where people had no cone.

When Yang Mu and the queen stepped out of the carriage, at the gate of the Fan Mansion, there happened to be several officials who were about to enter, and when they saw Yang Mu get out of the carriage, they were immediately shocked.

"Your Majesty the Emperor? No, it must be dazzling......"

The officials were taken aback, and after confirming that this was the person sitting on the dragon chair at the court meeting, they recovered from the shock and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Ministers greet Your Majesty, greet the Queen Mother, Long live Your Majesty, Long live Long live, Long live the Queen Mother Thousand Years and Years Thousands of years-"

"Calm down, I and the queen are here today, so you don't have to be formal." Yang Mu raised his hand and said.

What the?

His Majesty the Emperor?

This scene was naturally seen by a group of mourning guests, and it was also seen by a group of people who were entertained outside the door of the Fan Mansion.

His Majesty the Emperor personally came to mourn Lord Fan Hongji?

It didn't take a moment for Yang Mu to lead the queen and the attendants, and when he just walked up the steps in front of the mansion, a group of people came out of the mansion in the Fan mansion and paid a big salute: "Fan Ying see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother, Long live Your Majesty, Long live Long live, Long live the Queen Mother, Long live the Queen Mother!"

Yang Mu also knew that his arrival had broken the excitement of the Fan Mansion, so he said: "That's it, you all get up, Fan Xiangxian will go today, I will come over to take a look, don't be too restrained, it is important to handle the funeral." ”

After speaking, Yang Mu raised his legs and walked into the Fan Mansion.

During this period, someone in the Fan Mansion sang loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, lead the queen mother, enter the mansion to watch the ceremony." ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, lead the Empress Mother, enter the palace to watch the ceremony!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, lead the Empress Mother, enter the palace to watch the ceremony!"

With the announcement one after another, the news quickly spread to the entire Fan Mansion.

Soon, everyone knew that His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Mother, Weifu paid a private visit and came to Fan's Mansion to offer condolences.

The people in the mansion were naturally carefully received, and the entire Fan Mansion seemed to have only one thing to greet Yang Mu.

Soon, Yang Mu came to the mourning hall.

The princess Cui Shi in front of Wang Zhaoyu's coffin couldn't help but raise her head.

Leading the queen, Yang Mu personally stepped forward to put a stick of incense on Fan Hongji, and then stood quietly aside.

During this period, the chief of the mansion moved a big chair, but Yang Mu considered that he was already a private visit, and he sat on the mourning hall with a big grin, which was not very like words, after all, the deceased was the greatest, even if he was an emperor, he had to give some face.

Due to his identity, Yang Mu was uncomfortable staying in the Fan Mansion, and the people in the Fan Mansion were also very restrained, and the hundred officials who came to mourn did not dare to raise their heads, so he did not stay in the Fan Mansion for a long time, and in about a quarter of an hour, he took the queen back to the palace.

However, the significance of this quarter of an hour is very significant.

At the very least, the Fan family will not decline quickly because of Fan Hongji's death.

Yang Mu's appearance shows an attitude, that is, the old prime minister has a certain weight in His Majesty's heart, even if Fan Hongji dies, the Fan family has lost such a town guard god, it is not something that can be provoked casually, if it reaches the ears of His Majesty the Emperor, he will definitely protect the Fan family.

Jane is in the emperor's heart, this is an eternal truth.

Yang Mu drove back to the palace, but before returning to the palace, Fan Hongji's eldest son, Fan Ying, presented him with a box.

It seems that this is Fan Hongji's suicide note.

It can also be seen as a piece of music that is presented on a deathbed.

Yang Mu naturally attached great importance to it, and opened it as soon as he returned to the palace.

Among them, one of the main things mentioned turned out to be a meritorious lord!

After reading it, Yang Mu was also very surprised.

Because in this recital, Fan Hongji turned out to be a meritorious lord!

Among them, the most important is the hereditary title.

You must know that in order to compromise with the nobles of the family, Yang Mu and Kong Shangxian were unfair to the ordinary people and nobles when they formulated the meritorious lord system.

For example, at the rank of earl, the title can be downgraded from the eldest son to hereditary.

In other words, a three-star earl will be demoted to a two-star earl when passed on to the next generation.

It can be said that this kind of demotion is extremely slow, and if the Lord family wants to make meritorious contributions, there are many opportunities, as long as they can make a little merit, it is easy to climb back to the original title in the family.

This system was originally just a compromise with the big families, and it was also because at the beginning of the implementation of the meritorious lord system, there were not many people who obtained high titles, which was slowly formed.

Today, there are thousands of counts and dozens of marquis who have obtained titles through meritorious honors, and the number can be extremely large.

Fan Hongji was aware of this and felt that the meritorious lord system was slowly losing its vitality, so he sent a message on his deathbed and implored him to revise the meritorious lord system.

Yang Mu was a little embarrassed.

In the past, those who opposed the meritorious lord have now become the supporters of the meritorious lord.

Those who have tried their best to promote the hereditary title are now thinking about how to abolish the hereditary title and implement the reform of the meritorious lord system.

I have to say, this is a very ironic thing.

However, Yang Mu also understood very well why Fan Hongji did this.

In fact, only Fan Hongji's last words have a different meaning and effect.
