"Huh?"

Kong Yingda was stunned, and asked very incomprehensibly: "Guo boy, if you don't inform Your Majesty of such great news at this time, when will you wait?"

"Guo Ye, what kind of medicine do you sell in your kid's gourd?"

Ma Yuanju also questioned: "God is chattering, is it possible that you still want to ask Your Majesty to personally send you a funeral on the first seven days?" Can you afford the crime of deceit? ”

"Hey, don't worry, you two."

Guo Ye hurriedly explained: "Don't you think that on the day of the first seven funerals, I will ride my horse and gallop back to the house, and the handwritten letter of the king of the day to surrender to my Tang Dynasty will be more effective?" Hehe, I'm looking forward to what kind of expressions Changsun Wuji and the others will have on that day. ”

"Uh......"

Kong Yingda was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "This is not bad, recently, Changsun Wuji and others are just proud, arrogant and arrogant, and it is time to give them a hard blow, so that they can remember for a long time." Otherwise, I really think that our Shilin Qingliu system has declined since then. ”

Ma Yuanju nodded slightly, and in his heart he also agreed with Kong Yingda's statement. Recently, because of Yu Shinan's distant transfer to Xuanfu in Southern Xinjiang and the uncertainty of Guo Ye's life and death, the direction of the wind in the court has indeed become a little weird, and the officials of the Shilin Qingliu Department have been suppressed by the people of the Tiance Mansion to the point that they can't raise their heads, and their morale is greatly reduced.

However, he still glanced at Guo Ye with some concern, and asked softly: "Don't you want your mother, as well as Xiuxiu, Zhenniang, and Zhiru to know the news that you are still alive?" I can tell you, they have broken their hearts for you these days, and it is not an exaggeration to call them liver tremors. Now your mother and Zhiru have been arranged by His Majesty to take them from Longxi to the Hou Mansion in Yizhou, Chang'an, alas, now the Hou Mansion is a huge burden on Xiuxiu. Up and down, inside and out, it all depends on such a weak woman to operate. I said, you kid, how can you bear it? ”

"Huh?"

Guo Ye was stunned and asked, "My mother and Zhiru have all come to Chang'an?" ”

After being stunned, he was relieved, and yes, His Majesty Li Er decided that he was dead, and he had to give himself a beautiful funeral, so it was easy for him to send someone to pick up his wife and Zhiru to come to Chang'an.

Isn't this what His Majesty Li Er has always done? Set up a tomb for himself in the mourning hall, give himself a beautiful funeral, and mourn after death, which is a form of his compassion for loyal ministers and generous treatment of the widows of loyal ministers.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that he brought his wife and concubine to Chang'an.

Alas, Guo Ye sighed in his heart, a son of man affects his mother, a husband and a father affect his wife and children, it is really a crime that deserves death.

mother

Xiuxiu,

Zhiru, Zhenniang,

I'm sorry!!!

In the end, he frowned and gritted his teeth, and made up his mind: "That's it, I can only wronged them for a few more days, once this matter is over, I will definitely ask my mother for the guilt, and double the compensation for Xiuxiu, Zhiru, and Zhenniang." ”

Kong Yingda stroked his beard and praised: "Okay, those who become big things are not informal, and the old man approves." ”

Ma Yuanju also hummed and reminded softly: "Don't forget, there is also that little Guo Xiang in your family." I've seen this kid, the pink carved jade is cute, and his eyes are eccentric, quite fatherly. ”

Xiao Guo Xiang!

As soon as Guo Ye heard these three words, his heart suddenly became soft, and the full of 100 steels immediately turned into 3,000 fingers, and full of father's love came to his heart.

It was the face that was born from the heart, and the face was already a grinning and smirk, and he made a dry laugh when he ate.

After a while, when he had come to his senses, he found that he was the only one left in the great hall, and the door of the hall was open...... Obviously, Kong Yingda and Ma Yuanju had already left him.

Damn, I really said I was leaving, and I didn't even say hello.

Through the wide open door, Guo Ye found that Huang Ao, the kid, was still standing in the courtyard and guarding loyally and never left.

Immediately, he beckoned to Huang Ao and motioned for him to come in.

After Huang Ao came in, Guo Ye asked directly: "Huang Ao, when will your daughter-in-law come back from her mother's house?" Can you get her to come back in a few days? Because for the next three days, I will stay in your house, and my whereabouts during your stay in your house must be kept secret and cannot be leaked. ”

Huang Ao patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Master Hou, my mother-in-law listens to me." When I got back, I sent someone to bring a letter back to Yu's house and let her stay at her mother's house for a few more days. ”

Guo Ye nodded and said yes, and then said, "That's good, I'll be wronged by Miss Yu for the time being." Also, it's inconvenient for me to come forward at the moment, and I need you to do a few things for me. ”

"Master Hou, please command."

"First of all, you ...... for me"

……

……

Three days later, as soon as Guo Ye's first seven days passed, the funeral personnel sent by the imperial court ordered the removal of the mourning hall and prepared for Guo Ye's funeral.

Today's Yizhou Hou Mansion is more noisy and bustling than the previous few days.

There is a lot of traffic outside the house, and it goes without saying that there are crowds of people.

The house is full of scarlet robes, the armor is silver, and if you look at it at will, all of them are civil and military officials of the dynasty.

According to the funeral rules, in order to avoid the scene of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, the funeral officials deliberately did not let the old lady of Guo Mansion participate in the funeral procession.

And Xiuxiu, Zhenniang, and Zhiru were dressed in linen and filial piety, lying on the mahogany coffin and crying profusely, like a tearful person, reluctant to leave Guo Ye.

Even Xiao Guo Xiang was put on a pocket-sized filial piety dress and stood next to the coffin in the arms of Xiuxiu's maid Chunxiang. Although Xiao Guo Xiang is less than a year old, he is also sensible, and when he saw his aunt and aunt and his biological mother Zhenniang crying and mourning, she also cried with Wow Wow, stinging the eardrums of all the people who came to the funeral.

At this time, all the widows and daughters of the Guo Mansion from top to bottom were crying and mourning, and everyone present was full of compassion, even Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian and others, who came to the Guo Mansion to send the funeral in one step, looked lonely, and sighed pitiful in their hearts.

The hour is coming, whether it is Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and others, or Kong Yingda, Chen Kang, Chu Suiliang, Ma Yuanju and others have all come one after another, and even the officials of the Tiance Mansion Department have almost arrived.

Only the eldest grandson Wuji was missing to come to the funeral.

Of course, there is still a lack of His Majesty Li Er, who personally promised to come to see Guo Ye off.

Suddenly, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, only to hear someone shouting at the door outside the house: "Shangshu's right servant shoots, and Sun Wuji, the chief of Zhao Guo, has come to send the funeral ......."

The eldest grandson, Wuji, finally stepped on the point.

I saw the eldest grandson Wuji wearing a purple robe, symbolically tying a straw rope around his waist to show respect for the deceased, and then strode into the mansion to meet Fang Xuanling and others.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden shout of a male duck at the door: "The emperor has arrived, the ministers and the people, kneel to greet him!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw His Majesty Li Er, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, slowly entered the Guo Mansion and went straight to the coffin of the mourning hall.

Rumble~

Along the way, everyone knelt on the ground to greet the mountain and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

When His Majesty Li Er came to the mourning hall, a large number of people had already knelt down on the ground.

Even Xiuxiu, who was crying to death, took Zhenniang and Zhiru to greet His Majesty Li Er, wanting to kneel down and bow.

However, His Majesty Li Er immediately stepped forward to support Xiuxiu, and then motioned to the eunuch beside him to support the other two women, shook his head and said: "The county lord of Pingyang and the two ladies of the Guo family quickly calm down, don't salute." Today, I just came to see Guo Qing off, and I don't have to pay attention to all etiquette. Today, Guo Qing is the biggest! ”

As he spoke, he handed Xiuxiu to his father-in-law Shun, and then came to the coffin, gently stroked the coffin lid, and sighed: "Guo Qing, I have come to see you." Qing died young, I was sad, and I couldn't bear it! ”

"Wow...... Husband......"

His Majesty Li Er was so sensational, Xiuxiu was the first to cry and mourn, Zhenniang and Zhiru were also sad from their hearts, tears flowed down their faces, and they choked up.

At this time, the ministers in the mourning hall were all infected by His Majesty Li Er's words, and they all shook their heads with sighs, and their hearts were moved, and they all thought, this is so sympathetic to the courtiers, this is the real Saint of the Ages!

Especially the eldest grandson Wuji, he stepped forward to sing praises and said: "Your Majesty is so sympathetic to your ministers, do we dare to die for the king?" ”

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand to stop the eldest grandson Wuji's sycophancy, then looked at him and said, "Auxiliary, the funeral time is coming, announce my will in front of Guo Qing's coffin." ”

"Whoa!"

I saw the eldest grandson Wuji take out a yellow silk from his sleeve, slowly unfold it with both hands, and proclaimed: "Yizhou Hou Guo Ye is loyal to the country and has made great contributions." The previous order was sent to the country of Tubo, but unfortunately he was attacked by the enemy on the way, died on the battlefield, and was loyal to the country. This is the death of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the pain of me. Today, Hou Guoye of Yizhou is the prince of Pingyang County, mourning after his death, and his heroic soul will live forever. Chin this! ”

Xiuxiu endured her grief, stepped forward and stretched out her hands to receive the holy decree from the eldest grandson Wuji, and sobbed at His Majesty Li Er: "Xiuxiu thanked the emperor for his grace for her deceased husband. ”

gestured, and wanted to bend his knees to thank him, but he was supported by His Majesty Li Er again, shook his head and sighed: "The county lord of Pingyang should not be polite, I said, I don't pay attention to these red tapes today." Auxiliaries ......"

As he spoke, His Majesty Li Er turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked, "The time has come, right?" Don't miss the auspicious time of Guo Qing's funeral. ”

"Obey the order!"

The eldest grandson Wuji rushed to the several funeral officials sent by himself behind him, and ordered: "The time has come, let's go out for the funeral of Pingyang County!" ”

"Whoa!"

"The hour has come!"

"Carry the coffin out of the house!"

Crunch crunch ~

The eight coffin-carrying servants who were already waiting in the mourning hall stepped forward one after another, and in groups of two, each lifted a corner of the coffin.

A funeral official shouted again: "Send the funeral up the mountain!" ”

Bang blah blah blah blah~

All the people inside and outside the mourning hall began to line up automatically, taking the initiative to make way for a road to the outside of the house, so that the coffin could go first.

At this moment,

Suddenly, Huang Ao's figure appeared outside the mourning hall, and he had the courage to pretend not to see His Majesty Li Er, but shouted at Xiuxiu: "Madam, don't go out of the funeral, the Hou Ye is back, our Hou Ye is back alive!" ”

What the?

With a bang, Huang Ao's words were like a bomb thrown into a pool of lake water, and suddenly there was a loud explosion, shaking out a splash.

Everyone's faces, including His Majesty Li Er, were frozen in expression.

However, Xiuxiu was the first to react, and after exclaiming, she took advantage of everyone to get out of the way, and flew straight outside the house, looking for her husband Guo Ye.

She rushed to the door, looked in the direction of the entrance of the Taiping Fang, and saw—

In the direction of the entrance, a white-robed young general wearing a silver helmet and bright armor, holding the reins in his left hand and constantly waving a horsewhip in his right hand, was riding a high-headed horse with a dark body, galloping towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.

There is no need to look closer, Xiuxiu knows that the person on the horse is her husband Guo Ye, and he returns on horseback, and he is heroic and majestic~

She vaguely heard it, and her husband seemed to shout: "Xiuxiu, I'm back, I'm back......"

It's back,

Xiuxiu silently responded to her husband in her heart, you are really back, you didn't leave Xiuxiu, you really went home!

For a moment, two lines of hot tears ran down his cheeks, flowed through the corners of his slightly pale lips, and fell on his chest......

However, Xiuxiu can clearly feel that the tears this time are not salty, but sweet, sweet to the heart.
