565 Funeral
When the sun rises again, the sun shines on the earth and revives the whole world, but the palace is sad, faintly mixed with the sound of crying, which is even more sad. Seeing the coffin of the queen mother carried into the carriage, Chu Haoyu's heart nose was also sour, and there were tears rolling in his eyes. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Chu Haoyu said silently in his heart: "Queen Mother, go all the way." Opening his eyes again, Chu Haoyu's eyes had regained clarity, and he got up and followed the hearse step by step out of the palace and towards the imperial tomb.
The queen mother's funeral, not only the royal family, but also the minister of civil and military affairs came to see off in white silk, the long funeral was ten miles, and the same step followed behind the hearse, although the face was injured, but as for what he was thinking in his heart, only God knows.
Walking out of the imperial city through the west gate, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but look back, the vicissitudes of the majestic capital were mottled, and Chu Haoyu was sad again, and let out a sigh.
Following Chu Haoyu's gaze, the crown prince Chu Yuanbo also set his eyes on the capital, and said after a moment of silence with feeling: "The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year, we are just a passerby after all." ”
Chu Haoyu knew why Chu Yuanbo sighed, this capital should have been his, but the assassination ten years ago made him a passerby, even a hurried passerby, and he didn't even have a short period of possession, but at this moment, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but think of his eldest brother Chu Haoran, and remembered himself Chu Haoyu, perhaps, he would be a passerby. Nodding lightly, Chu Haoyu sighed lightly: "Yes, after thousands of years of rise and fall, he used to be surnamed Li and Zhao and Chu, who does he really belong to?" Only brick by brick, full of stories. ”
As the crown prince, Chu Yuanbo couldn't know the bloodshed of the capital, and he himself had experienced countless bloodshed, and after a moment of silence, a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered: "Everyone in the world says that immortals are good, but they can't forget their fame." Where will the past and the present meet? A pile of grass is gone in the barren mound, hehe......"
Listening to Chu Yuanbo's self-deprecating laughter, Chu Haoyu felt a strangeness to him for some reason. Chu Yuanbo is a person with a superb mind, he can think of countless ghost ideas when he is young, and he is especially good at recognizing and employing people, taking advantage of Emperor Wu and the Queen Mother's love for Chu Haoyu to cause trouble, so that Chu Yuanjing, who was a little stunned, took the lead, and pushed the quiet Chu Yuanfei out to please everyone, and every time he can understand the thoughts and preferences of several people. When the first emperor died, Chu Haoran ascended the throne, Chu Yuanbo was also named the crown prince and began to deal with state affairs, Chu Yuanbo was humble and polite, and his quick thinking quickly won the favor of the ministers, and he was very interested in not cultivating his own power, because the saint was in the prime of life. Undoubtedly, the prince Chu Yuanbo's humility and forbearance won the favor of the holy Chu Haoran, which ordered him to conquer Mobei for the prison army, which not only could establish his prestige for making good friends with the generals in the army, but also allowed the holy Chu Haoran to allow many families and meritorious children to join the prince guard, how Chu Yuanbo did not understand the deep meaning of the saint, and took the opportunity to make friends with many families, and at the same time selected talents for his own use.
"If it weren't for that assassination, perhaps, Yuanbo would really be able to become a generation of Ming Jun and pass it on through the ages, it's a pity!" With a sigh in his heart, Chu Haoyu smiled a little bitterly. Chu Yuanbo is talented, and he has seen clearly on the side of seclusion over the years, and he has long guessed the plot of the Heavenly Thorn traitor and the eldest brother, even if it was the reason for the assassination, he also guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight, but after so many years, he seems to have acquiesced to this fact, this is not his character. Thinking of this, a different color flashed in Chu Haoyu's eyes, what was he waiting for?
All thoughts drifted by in an instant, but Chu Haoyu hid his thoughts very well, and said: "After all, we are a layman, with seven emotions and six desires, love and hatred, if we see through them all, wouldn't we become a great monk who has no desires and no desires." ”
Chu Yuanjing had been listening to the two of them talking, and finally said at this moment: "Wrong, the monks also have something to ask, and they all want to become a Buddha and go to the West Heaven!" In the last sentence, Chu Yuanjing deliberately lowered his voice, but it made Chu Haoyu and Chu Yuanbo laugh.
Soon, Chu Haoyu put away his smile and opened his mouth to say: "Xiaobo, have you noticed that Xiao Jing changes a lot every time he comes back, and he can really become a general in the future." ”
Chu Yuanbo nodded and said, "Xiao Jing wanted to be a general when he was a child, after so many years of hard work, he should also become a general, a good thing, when the time comes, we will get drunk and rest." ”
Hehe laughed, Chu Yuanjing immediately put away his smile again, and said, "Forget it, drinking with you will always encounter bad luck." Ten years ago, we drank too much and made trouble in the palace, and the two of you were just reprimanded for a painless meal, and I was grounded by my father for several months. The last time we went back to Beijing, we got together to drink, didn't we make trouble in the Qinglou, and finally were ordered to be grounded for three months by the uncle. This time I went back to Beijing, I was drunk by Xiao Qi first, and when I returned home, I was knocked out by my father's palm, and I woke up and closed the small black house, two days ago, we got together to drink, and the wine was not finished...... "At this point, Chu Yuanjing couldn't go on, and glanced at the two of them with some embarrassment, that is, the Queen Mother was seriously ill that night.
Chu Yuanbo naturally knew what Chu Yuanjing had never said, so he deliberately diverted his words and said, "That's because you kid is too muddy, even if you make trouble in the palace, you still have to go to the Jinluan Palace to make trouble?" Let's make trouble in the Qinglou, I just said a few words without pain from the imperial history, you kid is good, you actually beat the imperial history, and you are grounded for three months. Also, you kid doesn't mess around on weekdays, do you really think that if you are crowned king, you will be able to sit on an equal footing with your second uncle? actually called the second uncle a brother and sister, you deserve to be beaten. ”
Hearing Chu Yuanbo say it, Chu Yuanjing scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said: "So, wine is not a good thing, let's drink less in the future, so as not to make trouble." ”
Seeing that Chu Yuanjing began to mess around, Chu Haoyu showed a light smile on his face, and said, "After so many years, Xiao Jing, you will also make people laugh,"
Chu Yuanjing saw the loneliness under Chu Haoyu's smile, smiled again, and opened his mouth to say, "I didn't learn it from you." ”
Chu Haoyu was indeed amused by Chu Yuanjing, but the smile quickly dissipated, shook his head and said, "Okay, let's get to the imperial mausoleum, don't say any more." At the end of the words, Chu Haoyu showed a trace of loneliness on his face, for the queen mother, for a few of them, they have grown up after all.
There are many complicated rituals in the royal family, Chu Haoyu hated these cumbersome ceremonies the most in the past, but today, Chu Haoyu is very able to make this ceremony longer and longer, so that the queen mother can enter the soil later, but the longer ceremony also has an end, when the queen mother was buried and sealed the soil, Chu Haoyu suddenly realized that the queen mother was gone like this, forever and forever, and in the future, no one would call him Xiao Qi affectionately.
On the way back to the palace, everyone was silent, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran, the Martial King Chu Haoyan, the British King Chu Haoyuan, the Filial King Chu Haoyu, the Prince Chu Yuanbo, maybe everyone expected something in their hearts, but no one spoke.
Returning to the palace with everyone, Chu Haoyu only stayed for a moment before returning to the palace and entering the study alone. Sitting in the study, Chu Haoyu was silent for a long time, and wrote a Chu character neatly, and in his mind, he recalled the scene when his father taught him to learn characters when he was young. Grabbing his hand, his father wrote down the word Chu one by one, and then said: "Xiao Qi, this is the word Chu, Chu Haoyu's Chu." ”
With a soft sound, Chu Haoyu's little face showed a trace of doubt, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Isn't that the Chu of the father?" Father, why are you the same Chu as Xiao Qi? While speaking, Chu Haoyu broke free from Chu Tianfeng's big hand and scribbled, and in the end, he failed to write the word Chu and became a black pimple.
Putting down the pen and staring at the Chu character on the table where the pen and ink were not dry, Chu Haoyu was silent for a long time and let out a light sigh, and said to himself: "It's all a Chu!" In the midst of muttering to himself, Chu Haoyu opened the desk and took out a yellowed letterhead, which looked at it, it was the letterhead left by the first emperor Chu Tianfeng, and the queen mother handed it to him on the day he was crowned king.
After reading it carefully, Chu Haoyu calmed down a lot, put down the letterhead and picked up the seven-star sword, and a dodge had already appeared in the garden. Holding the seven-star sword in his hand, Chu Haoyu took a light breath, and raising his hand to raise the sword was the starting style of the Shaoyang Sword Technique.
Although Chu Haoyu didn't like to practice swords when he was young, he was already a master of the Heavenly and Human Realm, and now he has made every move and style. There is no momentum, nor any fancy, as if a teenager who is a beginner in swordsmanship, seriously practicing every move and style, over and over again.
I don't know how many times I practiced, Chu Haoyu finally put away his sword and stood up, and shouted at Chu Ruotong, who was hiding behind the big tree, "Tong'er, come here." ”
Poking out his little head to see that his father was not angry, Chu Ruotong walked out and opened his mouth and said, "Father, you are also practicing swords?" After a pause at this, Chu Ruotong turned around and said, "Mother and Aunt Yu said that you are not happy with your father, let Tong'er come to comfort your father." Father, are you still sad about the imperial grandmother? ”
If it was in the past, Chu Haoyu would have hidden it from her and even made her happy, but looking at her black and white today, Chu Haoyu did not hide his feelings at all, and said with some sadness: "Yes, how can you not be sad?" Tong'er, you're still young, you'll understand when you grow up. ”
Chu Ruotong sighed softly, and said, "That's why, my mother asked Tong'er to comfort my father." Father, don't be sad, the imperial grandmother likes you so much, if she knows that you are sad, she will be sad. By the way, father, is this the seven-star sword that the emperor's grandfather has conquered the world? ”
Seeing his beloved daughter Chu Ruotong's eyes glow, this seemed to be more effective than any words of comfort, Chu Haoyu had a trace of tenderness in his eyes, and opened his mouth to say, "Do you want to play?" ”
"Really?" In the midst of the exclamation, Chu Ruotong saw his father nodding, and was immediately overjoyed, and shouted, "It's better to be my father." While speaking, Chu Ruotong took the seven-star sword and waved it twice, but he lost interest before he finished playing a set of Shaoyang swordsmanship, pouted and said: "Father, it's too heavy, it's not fun, it's still Tong'er's jade girl sword is the best." ”
Seeing Chu Ruotong's expression, Chu Haoyu felt a warm current in his heart, and finally a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Tong'er is right, why don't you take the Jade Girl Sword, let's practice the sword together?" ”
Regarding Chu Haoyu's proposal, Chu Ruotong was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, my father is waiting, Tong'er will go and get the sword." At the end of the words, Chu Ruotong jumped naughty and left, and Chu Haoyu's eyes were full of tenderness.
