Chapter Seventy-One: Fortune and Misfortune (3)
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "three gods and four ghosts", at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, there were four cloud sounds, how can it not make people frightened. In the palace, only the prince's family is qualified to knock on the cloud board to report the funeral.
Others were shocked, but the idiot reacted, eighty percent of the prince was not good. He was still strange that King Xing looked at him as having no illness or disaster, not like saying that he would not be there, but the son of the world did lose his father before he became an adult and was chosen as the heir to the throne.
Today's weather is too weird, that is, they can't stand a few half-grown teenagers, and the main priest of King Xing is wearing a crown robe...... Could it be heat stroke?
But the king has only been at the palace for an hour, is this too fast?
Everyone came out of the pool, Wang Qi rubbed his eyes, and said in a daze: "Is it dawn?" ”
There was a cry in the distance, and the Taoist idiot pulled Wang Qi and said to everyone: "Go back to the house first." ”
Everyone only felt frightened, and by the moonlight, they hurried back to the Lequn Courtyard.
Huang Jin and Gao Kang, who were on duty, had already fallen asleep, and the little servants had also been sent back to settle before, and it was quiet in the Lequn Courtyard.
Wang Qi will also wake up completely, and when he heard the Taoist idiot talk about the cloud board of the palace, he knocked four times, only to feel that his hands and feet were cold, and he choked up: "Erlang, is it my aunt?" ”
Before the idiot could speak, Liu Congyun said: "It's not that Mrs. Wang...... **'s cry is too loud......
Not only is the crying getting louder and louder, but there is also a faint movement in front of the palace. If it was the lady of the palace, she would not have made such a big move.
The idiot glanced at everyone, everyone was ** because of the bath just now, and said, "Clean up first, there will be news coming." ”
Where is the sleepiness of the people, they are at a loss, and when they hear the words of the idiot, they go back to their rooms to cook without mentioning it.
When everyone cleaned up, some officials of the palace came over with lanterns, crying and passing the word, Wang Yexue, Lord Yuan ordered, and everyone in the palace gathered outside Qingyun Gate to mourn.
Although there had been speculations before, when he heard the news, the Taoist idiot still felt a little abrupt. The wheels of history are beginning to turn?
Even if he knew that King Xing was not the destiny of longevity, he didn't expect the palace to change so suddenly.
Huang Jin and Gao Kang came out with their clothes on, and when they heard the news, they almost collapsed to the ground.
Everyone knows that half of the sky in the palace has collapsed.
The cries in the distance became louder and louder, and Huang Jin and Gao Kang couldn't help but cry out loud.
The companions have been in the palace for a year, even if they can't be as sad as the people in the palace, they are not comfortable in their hearts. Obviously it's still fine during the day, why did the prince die?
After thinking about it, everyone went back to the room to change into plain clothes, and went to Qingyunmen with Huang Jin and Gao Kang.
Qingyun Gate is the gate of the inner courtyard of the palace, located on the central axis of the palace, after the Qiyun Palace, before the Qingyun Palace, the Qingyun Palace is the main bed of the palace, the residence of the prince.
Before he got close, there were bursts of crying in his ears, and he was already kneeling down in front of Qingyun Gate.
The companions did not have any duties, nor did they step forward, but only followed everyone and found an open place to kneel.
Qingyun Gate divides the people in the palace into two, and the door is the prince's family, internal officials, and maids; Outside the door were the officials, stewards, and male servants.
When I got the news, more and more people rushed over, and the cries inside and outside the door were also connected.
Although it is not a formal crying spirit, and there is no official staring at it, it can be seen by Taoist idiots, and most of the people who sincerely cry and mourn are accounted for.
The name of the king's benevolence is not for nothing, and the palace is grateful for the prince's generosity.
After kneeling for more than two hours, when the sky was still faintly clear, a few white attendants came out of Qingyunmen, holding temporary sewn filial piety clothes in their hands, and distributed them to everyone.
Everyone took it and put it on, and their eyes were white.
Even if he responds to the throat, he can't cry for two hours, and the crying gradually stops.
Dao idiot looked at a few next to him, Chen Chizhong strained his face, Liu Congyun frowned, Lu Wenzhao's body shook vigorously, Wang Qi ...... Wang Qi's eyes were red and swollen......
Because the prince has a vassal kingdom, he is the lord of a country.
The great funeral of the lord of the country is not only a matter for the people in the palace. Slaughter was forbidden for three days in the domain, and music was forbidden for marriage until the funeral was over. The civil and military officials in the country declined for three days and wept for five days; For five days in the city, the military and the people were uniform, and the civil and military yamen had to set up altars.
By the time dawn came, after the initial panic on the side of the palace, various funeral matters had been prepared in an orderly manner.
Although the companions were young and did not have serious errands, under the arrangement of the chief officials, they finally had an official ranking in the ranks of the weeping spirits, and they no longer had to mix with the stewards and servants.
The position of the people is at the end of the royal officials, before the non-entry and non-quality members. This is not arbitrarily arranged, because among the subordinate officials of the palace, there is already the position of "companion reading", from the ninth grade. Although this companion is not the other companion, but with the death of the prince, the prince has become the master of the palace, and the identity of the companion is not what it used to be.
The civil and military officials outside the mansion got the news and came over one after another, and more and more people gathered outside Qingyunmen.
Fortunately, after the civil and military officials came, when they knelt and when they cried, there were officials singing and quoting, and the Taoist idiots were also stained, so there was no need to kneel all the time.
Dao idiot and others got up early in the morning yesterday, and stayed up all night, and their faces turned blue. By the time the scorching sun was in the sky, Dao Idiot and Chen Chizhong, who had the best physical strength, were a little unstable, not to mention the other three.
There was really no way, so everyone had to take turns to rest for a moment or two to recover from the convenient excuse.
In a blink of an eye, at noon, the official sang again, and everyone cried in unison.
Just as he was crying, there was a rush of footsteps, and when the idiot looked back, he saw Lu Dian coming quickly.
Lu Dian shuttled through the crowd and directly entered Qingyun Gate.
Everyone in the palace knows that in addition to the inner attendants, only the chief official Yuan Zonggao and the guard Zheng Ludian are qualified to enter the Qingyun Gate directly. The two of them are regarded as confidants by the prince.
Although the local civil and military also knew a little about the affairs in the palace, they were still surprised to see Lu Dian enter the inner palace without being told like this.
In Qingyun Palace, in addition to the royal family and the Jiang family, there are also the chief officials Yuan Zonggao, Fan and Lu Bing's mother and son.
The civil and military officials of Anlu City have limited ranks, and they are not qualified to come in to worship.
Seeing Lu Dian coming in in with a hurry, Yuan Zonggao's heart sank slightly, and he said in a low voice: "But what's uneasy outside?" ”
As the prince's confidant before his death, Lu Dian did not guard in front of the spirit, but led people to guard in the front yard, for fear that someone would take advantage of the death of the prince to make trouble.
Lu Dian took out a silk scroll from the front placket in his hand, his arm trembled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Lord Yuan, King Ning is reversed, and he just sent someone to send the document over, and he needs to tell the princess and His Royal Highness!" ”
When Yuan Zonggao heard this, the blood on his face faded, and his body staggered. It was Lu Dian who stepped forward to hold on, and Yuan Zonggao did not fall.
The two commanders of the highest grade of the Chinese martial arts of the royal palace both saw fear in each other's eyes.
The vassal kingdom first encountered a flood that had not been encountered in a hundred years, and then the prince died, and now he caught up with the rebellion of King Ning, which is really a disaster. Although the Ning Domain and the Xing Domain did not border, if the Ning Wang's rebellious army went north, Anlu would be in danger.
Neither of them dared to hide such a big event. However, the princess fainted because of the sudden death of the prince. It is the funeral affairs of the inner government, and it is also Mrs. Wang's cooking.
Now, I can only tell the prince about it.
Shizi was only thirteen years old.
Both of them were extremely heavy in their hearts.
When the prince was invited to the quiet room, when he saw the payment document, he sneered: "The great joke of the world, the son of the concubine of the singer, who got a glimpse of the throne, is not grateful, but wants to plot the world, which is ridiculous!" If he doesn't come, if he dares to go north, although he is young, he also has the heart to serve the country and protect the people......"
*
Outside Qingyun Gate, the Taoist idiot didn't know that he was worried that another major event had happened, King Ning had officially pulled up the anti-flag on June 14, and the news of King Ning's rebellion had also spread to Anlu from thousands of miles away today.
In addition to receiving the payment documents from the palace, Wang Qinghong, who hurried back from the valley plain, also smelled the thunderbolt on a sunny day when he returned to the palace to change clothes.
Although he returned to his hometown from Nanchang Mansion, there were also a few people there to keep an eye on, so he quickly got the news of King Ning's rebellion.
A few years ago, King Ning's Mansion bought off the courtiers and internal officials and restored the palace guards. In addition, there are also local reckless bandits who are colluding, so they pull up the anti-flag, and the momentum is not small.
For the sake of his eldest son worshipping under Imperial Envoy Li, Wang Qinghong was already ill, and he always hoped that the imperial court could use thunderous means to suppress the Ning Wangfu as soon as possible and avoid civil strife; But through his connections, he sent a few excerpts that exposed King Ning's misdeeds, and the power of King Ning's mansion became more and more powerful.
This time, he was dragging his sick body back to the city to mourn, but when he heard the fatal news, he was devastated.
Not long after coming to the palace for mourning, he finally couldn't hold on, his eyes were black, and he passed out......
