Chapter 152: Good Words on the Journey
The prince's cemetery is regulated.
In the past two years, the Taoist idiot has also come several times with the son. I didn't think it was anything before, but now it seems that the place is small.
This festival was even more lively than the funeral of King Xing.
Not to mention the full set of ceremonies, the number of accompanying sacrifices is also the largest.
5,000 guards and soldiers from the capital came 4,000, 5,000 soldiers from Huguang Dusi who arrived yesterday came 3,000, plus the honor guard of the prince and the escort of the palace, the Qincha boss from the capital, the chief of the three divisions from Wuchang Mansion, and the civil and military officials who came to accompany the sacrifice from Anlu, nearly 10,000 people.
At a glance, it is all black and unreachable.
The Taoist idiot was wearing a deep coat and stood behind the subordinate officials of the palace with Liu Congyun, Chen Chizhong and others. From today on, he is the prince's attendant, and he should have served the prince. However, because there are many rules in the big ceremony, the positions of the people accompanying the sacrifice are fixed, and he is not an official, so he has no rank on his body, so he has to be mixed behind the officials of the palace.
It's not so much a worship, it's actually a farewell. Because the palace and the capital have been negotiated, the prince will set off for the north tomorrow.
Escorting the prince to the north, in addition to the 3,000 men and horses from the palace, there were also 5,000 people from the capital, and the 5,000 men and horses from the Huguang Metropolitan Division were ordered to run over, with a total of 13,000 people.
In addition to these horse escorts, on the way from Anlu to the capital, several generals have been ordered to lead troops and horses to greet them. As the prince goes all the way north, these soldiers will also converge with the people and horses behind the prince to send the prince north.
Not to mention that the hinterland of the Central Plains is peaceful now, even if any vassal king doesn't open his eyes, he wants to fight with the palace guards, but it's just a toss in vain.
In front of King Xing's tombstone, the first layer is the son.
Behind the prince is the capital Qincha, behind the Qincha is the chief of the three divisions of Huguang, after the three chiefs is Anlu Wenwu, and the subordinate officials of the palace are at the end. Dao idiot and Liu Congwen stood in the back of the official formation of the royal palace, and they were more than ten zhang away from the prince.
Therefore, for the worship of the prince in front of the tomb of King Xing, the Taoist idiot only asks about the sound of ritual music, and does not see him.
He only heard the music of the ceremony, and then he followed the fallen people in front of him, and knelt down. After a while, they got up, and the official in front of them said something, and everyone bowed again.
The group set off from the palace at five o'clock in the morning, and arrived at the tomb of King Xing at Chenzheng (eight o'clock in the morning).
As a result, it took nearly three hours for the son to worship and say goodbye at the tomb.
It's only April, but at noon, the summer heat is gradually appearing, and everyone is wearing ceremonial clothes for the sake of worship, and the result is tragic.
Even Dao idiots and Chen Chizhong have strong bodies, and their movements are a little stiff and slow, not to mention literati like Liu Congyun, not to mention sweating, their faces are pale, and they are all strong.
Young people are still like this, not to mention the elderly, several bigwigs from the capital have fallen two.
The accompanying imperial doctor saw it, but it was only a heat stroke, and it was not much of an obstacle, but in the end, the prince did not have the heart to continue mourning, and finally sent a message back to the city...... The idiot was ordered to follow the prince from tomorrow, and after returning to the city, he did not go home, but went directly to the palace. Tomorrow morning, the palace will leave early, and when I go back to sleep, I will toss the old lady, so I still go back to the palace. This is a statement on the surface, but in fact, Lu Song secretly informed him, so that the Taoist idiot began to be cautious in his words and deeds.
After all, he and Lu Bing will be serving as attendants by the side of the prince from tomorrow, and their deeds are still on the side of the palace, so the province will be suspicious.
Dao Idiot originally planned to take the sting to Xing Baihu and Hutou for a night, but Lu Bing dragged the Lu family to come.
Fan and Lu Song are not there, and Fan is entrusted by the princess to go north with the prince and take care of the son's daily life; Lu Song has the responsibility of guarding, because he will be traveling tomorrow morning, and the husband and wife are busy with their own work.
In the small courtyard of the Lu family, Lu Wei was holding a wooden knife in his hand, dancing there "hey, hey, haha", seeing the two coming, Lu Wei threw the wooden knife at once, rushed over and leaned his neck and said, "Second brother Wang!" ”
Seeing his eyes full of light, the Taoist idiot couldn't help but smile, wiped it off his waist, but touched it empty. It turns out that Lu Wei is also a candy lover, and because of the tiger's head, he often puts candy snacks in his purse, but because he is wearing deep clothes today, in order to show dignity, he hangs a jade pendant from his waist and does not bring a purse.
Lu Wei looked along the arm of the idiot, and naturally found that he didn't have a purse around his waist, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and looked at the idiot with accusatory eyes: "Second Brother Wang, did you give all your delicious food to Brother Dingshan?" ”
Dao Idiot touched the top of his head and said: "Although your brother Dingshan loves to eat sugar, he doesn't dare to eat it when he changes his teeth, otherwise his teeth will be broken, and his black teeth will be scary or not." ”
Lu Wei listened and hurriedly covered his mouth. It's not that his teeth are broken, but because of the tooth replacement, one of his front teeth is missing, and he looks like a black hole.
Lu Bing frowned and said, "What kind of fat has you become, and you still have to eat sugar?" ”
The three brothers and sisters of the Lu family, Lu Can and Lu Bing's appearance follows the Fan family, and their complexion is also red; Lu Bing is different from his brothers and sisters, white and tender, very cute. And because of his love for sweets, the little guy is like blowing up a balloon, round and round.
Lu Wei grimaced at his brother and said, "Big brother is verbose again." "Anyway, let's go and move the rescuers.
The Lu family and his wife are not there, except for the two brothers, only Lu Can is left.
Lu Can was already in the house, and she heard the movement outside, and she could hear what the Taoist idiot said to Lu Wei clearly, and she was very good at reciting the Taoist idiot.
In the past two years, the Taoist idiot has been here to avoid it, and Lu Can has not twisted, and came out of the house to greet the guests with tea.
But in the end, it was the eldest girl who was going to be the eldest girl, and after preparing tea and food for the idiot, Lu Can went back to his house.
Lu Wei couldn't stay in the house, so he took two pieces of dim sum and went out to play.
The idiot said: "Erlang still doesn't know if his uncle and aunt will leave tomorrow?" ”
I don't know if it's because Lu Wei is the youngest, he is extremely attached to Fan's family, and he can't wait to follow like kraft candy. But he was the youngest son, and his brother and sister had no one to care about.
Lu Bing smiled bitterly: "Who dares to tell this grinding spirit, if it makes a fuss, how can it be good." I can only wait for us to leave and let my sister tell him again. This kid is very eye-catching, his mother is not in front of him, and he can't cry well, but he is honest. ”
When the idiot heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
It wasn't until dinner time that Fan returned, his eyes swollen like peaches.
Seeing this, Lu Bing was startled and hurriedly said, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
When Lu Can heard the movement, he also went to the upper room, and when he saw Fan like this, he hurriedly threw a towel to cover her eyes.
Fan Shi looked at a pair of children with relief, and then said to the idiot embarrassedly: "I just saw His Royal Highness and the princess say goodbye, the mother and son are sad, and those of us who are watching are also sad. Before I knew it, there were more tears, and it became like this. ”
Seeing that her eyebrows and eyes were full of sorrow, Dao Idiot said, "Auntie, don't worry about Your Highness." The princess is the biological mother of Her Royal Highness, and after Her Royal Highness succeeds to the throne, she will take the princess into Beijing. ”
When Fan heard this, he hesitated a little and said: "Although His Royal Highness is filial and will remember to take the princess, will those people in Beijing obey His Highness?" ”
Don't blame her for hesitating, I'm afraid that even the princess has no bottom in her heart now.
Even if the prince succeeds to the throne, he will no longer be the younger brother of the prince. The princess is still the princess of the domain, and most of the people under her name will inherit the incense of the palace by inheriting the incense of the palace.
Although the princess and the prince are mother and son, in terms of etiquette, perhaps with this separation, they are two families.
Now there is a queen mother and a queen in the harem, and the princess wants to enter Beijing as the mother of the Son of Heaven, which is not easy to talk about.
The Taoist idiot knew that as soon as Xiao Jiajing ascended the throne, there was a dispute over "big etiquette", and the princess, the queen mother, was decided. Therefore, he said firmly: "If those people want to stop them, it also depends on the heart of His Highness." If His Highness ascends to the throne, he will be the lord of the world, who can stop His Highness? His Royal Highness is filial piety, and of course he will take the princess to his side to support him. ”
Listening to what the idiot said, Fan Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, otherwise the flesh and blood will be separated, His Royal Highness will not feel good, and our people will also feel sour in our hearts......"
When Lu Song came back, it was already the second watch.
He had instructed Dao Idiot and Lu Bing a few times before, but when he was about to leave, he had to tell him again: "Your Highness is a person who misses the old, and the two of you need to be respectful to Your Highness, but you don't need to change too much for the time being." Your Highness is willing to keep the two of you by your side, where is it for the safety of the guards, but you are also afraid of loneliness on the road, and there are two more people to talk to. If you worship His Highness to heaven at once, you will not be close to each other, but you will go against His Highness's original intention. ”
Speaking of this, he paused again and said, "But you also have to pay attention to proportion, Your Highness seems to be gentle to others, but in fact, he pays attention to the temperament of dignity and humility. If you forget your dignity because you are close to Your Highness, you will dislike Your Highness. Even if it doesn't happen immediately, His Highness will not be happy afterwards. Both of you are sensible and good boys, as long as you warn yourself, even if Your Highness treats him closely, don't cross the line of dignity and inferiority. From the time the prince chose you to study in the palace, you were the 'courtiers', His Royal Highness was the 'lord', and the feelings of classmates and the like should be between you and the people, not between the monarchs and ministers. ”
Lu Bing frowned when he heard this, made a bitter face, and said, "Dad, my son is confused." Is this closeness or not? ”
The Taoist idiot was on the side, but he knew that Lu Song's words were not so much telling the two of them as specifically mentioning him. In the past, Lu Song would occasionally mention a sentence or two, but he wouldn't say it so bluntly.
Now that I have said so much, I am just afraid that the Taoist idiot will waste this good opportunity to be with the son of the world day and night due to an improper attitude. These people, because they have studied with the prince, seem to have a thorough road in the future. But there is one precondition, that is, it cannot be rejected by the son.
A companion who is rejected by the world, where is there any future to say?
As for Lu Bing, he grew up with the son of the world, and he has the affection of a milk brother. Even if there is an occasional omission, the prince will not blame. In the eyes of the son, the Lu family is his own family. Even if Lu Bing has something inappropriate, he, who is the brother's butler, is ......
