Chapter 173 [Rebel Son Becomes Filial Son]
The Fuping Marquis Mansion, which was once the topic of Chang'an, once again exposed big news. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Chengyan, a child of the Zhang family who was famous for his filial piety, died suddenly due to trauma, and everyone who heard it was stunned. What's even more shocking is that the mother of the Hou Mansion and Princess Jingwu of the current dynasty also died of her husband due to heart, excessive grief, and died suddenly.
In just two months, the Marquis of Fuping, the princess, and the talents of the Zhang family passed away one after another. In such a situation, what can the people of Chang'an say besides saying that the Fuping Marquis Mansion is unlucky?
For a time, the Fuping Marquis Mansion was a cloud of mourners.
Everyone in the world is unlucky that the Fuping Marquis Mansion is unlucky, and only a few people such as Zhang Fang know the truth.
Zhang Chengyan's death was Zhang Fang's doing, and it goes without saying. Only the death of Princess Jingwu was unexpected. And the death of the latter is closely related to the former, or to put it simply, the cause.
After the showdown between Zhang Fang and Zhang Chengyan that day, Zhang Chengyan, who knew that he could not escape death, truthfully confessed. In the end, for the sake of his family and his own reputation, after Zhang Fang left, he used the crossbow arrow that had hurt him, stabbed it into the wound and then pulled it out violently. Rao is Zhang Chengyan is stoic, and he can't help but scream, and blood spurts for several feet.
And this bloody scene was just in the eyes of Princess Jingwu.
Why did Princess Jingwu come? This is not surprising or coincidental. Zhang Fang led people to settle accounts with Zhang Chengyan, and along the way, many servants in the house saw it, and even bumped into Zhang Jingchen, the family commander. Just imagine, how can Princess Jingwu know?
After Princess Jingwu got the report, she thought that this was a small conflict between brothers, and she would ask for clarification when her son came to ask for peace. I didn't want to wait left and right, and my son never saw it. Princess Jingwu was uneasy, and went to find out now. The result was no coincidence, and I happened to witness the scene of Zhang Chengyan's suicide.
This strong stimulation is comparable to the bronze seal of the bloody son when I saw it. Princess Jingwu trembled all over, covered her heart and fell to the ground - how could her weak body, which had already accumulated too many internal wounds, withstand such a strong stimulus, Princess Jingwu fell and never stood up again.
The funeral of Princess Jingwu was more grand than that of the Marquis of Fuping, not only the magnates of Chang'an, almost all the high-ranking officials above 2,000 stones, including Princess Guantao, Princess Yang'a and all the clan relatives came, and even when the emperor sent the prince to pay his respect, the specifications were comparable to the princes and kings.
On the day of the funeral, Zhang Fang gave the first letter of his life to the Son of Heaven. The content is concise, except for some words of condolence and self-blame, at the end of the recital, a bombshell is thrown - I invite myself to settle in front of the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family in Fengqiyuan, and cut off the decline of my parents for a year.
As soon as this seal came out, it shocked the government and the opposition.
In recent decades, the Han Dynasty has not produced princes and princes to practice this filial piety - it is good to be able to ban music and forbidden tricks, and to make offerings sooner or later.
In the barren mountains and in front of the chaotic graves, a grass hut was built, a mat pillow was pillowed, the cold came and went, the linen and the staff were worn, and the mourning was a year - such a beheading, no heir among the princes had ever done this.
Is this Fuping Shaojun Zhang Fang crazy? Can he handle it? Also, he left, who will take care of the Hou Mansion?
Countless doubts, boiling government and opposition.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is not that the princes can't do it, but they can't do it. The more high-ranking people are, the more they can't leave the center of power for too long, and serving mourning for more than a month is already the limit, and if it lasts longer, are you sure that the mansion will not be unrecognizable when you come back? The Son of Heaven requires the world to be filial, and he should be an example, why has no Son of Heaven ever been in the middle of his house? That's it. The moment of alternation of the old and new kingship is the most sensitive and dangerous moment, one day to leave the center of power, and then want to come back.
Therefore, most of the people who can do this are the scholars, especially the scholars of the poor family. And this time, there is a rare appearance of a prince's son, and he is also the "rebel son" who had a very bad reputation from the government and the opposition some time ago.
As soon as this recital came out, the court, whether they knew this young gentleman or not, had to secretly praise it. Not to praise him for his filial piety, but to praise him for his wisdom -- everyone knows that filial piety is for the living, not for the dead. Fuping Shaojun's hand, not to mention anything else, at least his bad reputation can be erased.
This is also Zhang Fang's purpose, he doesn't need to hide it, this kind of thing, anyone who understands will understand.
On the third day of the fourth month, the Son of Heaven approved and was allowed to play.
After half a month, the grass color of Fengqi Yuan is still the same, and before the Duling grass house has been demolished, Zhang Fang has lived in it again.
This time, he was at ease.
The hidden danger is solved, he is the only master of the entire Hou Mansion, from now on, he doesn't have to worry about revealing the stuffing, and he doesn't need to be on guard at all times, he can rest assured that he can arrange it and let it go.
With the experience of the sixth day of the last junior high school, Zhang Fang did not dare to stay in the house this time. On the sixth day of the first month, Ah Zhen, and Zongba, they were all brought to Duling, leaving only Deng Zhan, Yingnuya, Sancai and other guards to keep in touch in the mansion. Before Zhang Fang left the mansion, Deng Zhan was given a new appointment: Fuping Houfu Cheng.
This is the second only high-ranking retainer to the family order, and there are only two in the entire Hou Mansion, one each in the inner and outer mansions. With the death of Princess Jingwu, and the young monarch did not accept the bride, the inner house existed in name only, and Deng Zhan replaced the identity of the outer house. However, in the Hou Mansion, anyone can see that this Fu Wei, who has only been in the Hou Mansion for five years (except for the two years when he went out to seek the Lord, is actually only three years), and is not a child of the family, will sooner or later replace the current foreign mansion Cheng and become the upstart of the Hou Mansion.
There are three generations of old servant Zhang Jingchen in charge, and Deng Zhan assists and monitors from the side, coupled with fast and convenient communication, you can obtain information in the house in time and command it remotely...... Zhang Fang has reason to believe that in the year he left, instead of letting the Hou Mansion break away, he would have a firmer grip on it.
What's more, in another half a month, his companion and loyal servant will arrive. With the increase in available manpower, the control over the Hou Mansion will only be stronger......
The cottage is no different from when it left, but the mentality of the people who moved in again was different from the previous time.
Zhang Fang has been mourning for a year this time, and it would be too empty to say that he is grateful for his kindness and sincerity and filial piety. Fuping Gonghou Zhang Lin, he has never seen this "father" at all, what feelings can he have? Princess Jingwu, from her return to the present, has been mourning for more than a month, and she has been together for less than a week, and she has only met five times...... To be honest, every time they meet, Zhang Fang is embarrassed, and he just wants to end it as soon as possible and avoid it from afar. In this way, where is the admiration?
The last time he was mourned, Zhang Fang was filial piety for "Zhang Fang"; This time in mourning, Zhang Fang was for himself.
This time, Zhang Fang still abides by the rule of not drinking cheese and alcohol, but he is no longer vegetarian. He is growing his body, and he can barely eat meat for a month, but he can't eat meat for a year, that is, he can't get along with his body. He will not waste this year: reading, exercising, getting to know the court, and keeping a close eye on the current situation...... That's what he did every day.
Now Zhang Fang still has little understanding of the intricate relationships between the court, and a year later, he will become the one who knows Chang'an best.
In front of the grass house, Zhang Fang was wearing a plain white cloth robe, a burlap skirt around his waist, holding a mourning stick, and after bowing to the tomb of his parents three times, he stood up, turned to face the sixth day of the first month, Ah Zhen, and Zongba, and lowered his chin: "Now, let's start." ”
