The seventh day of the winter month is Xue Lu's public memorial day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Xue Lu's body was carried back to the Hou Mansion, there has been an endless stream of people who come to the Yangwu Hou Mansion every day to mourn. The spacious Fuqian Street is full of banners, wreaths, paper figures and paper horses given by people. If these artifacts can really be enjoyed in the underworld, Xue Lu will definitely become a ghost king with rich armor and strong soldiers, and maybe he can also create an anti-...... of Hades

Early this morning, the princes and ministers who participated in the public sacrifice came from all directions, and the acquaintances at the door sang hoarsely:

"The British grandfather has come to pay tribute! Family members kneel to welcome! ”

"Grandpa Dingguo has come to pay tribute! Family members kneel to welcome! ”

"Grandpa Chengguo came to pay tribute! Family members kneel to welcome! ”

"The Marquis of Chengshan has come to pay tribute! Family members kneel to welcome! ”

"The Marquis of Ningyang has come to pay tribute! Family members kneel to welcome! ”

“……”

The duke and earl of the Ming Dynasty, one of them did not fall into the scene, and the Marquis of Yangwu was also considered to be grieved.

Although according to Xue Lu's status, such pomp is not exaggerated. However, you must know that the first day of the winter month is the deadline for the emperor to strictly order the noble generals to take up their posts in various places. It is said that at least half of the nobles should have left Beijing at this moment.

But now, these people invariably disregard the king's order, but also want to participate in the funeral of the Marquis of Yangwu, and even the noble generals who are in the field have also returned to Beijing to participate in the public sacrifice, not so much to send the Marquis of Yangwu together, but to demonstrate!

Therefore, although the princes cried loudly, their faces were full of grief, full of resentment, like a volcano that would erupt at any time, just waiting for that moment to come.

The three grandfathers were closest to Xue Lu's coffin, Zhu Yong looked at Zhang Fu, who looked much calmer, and said sadly: "Can you still bear it?" ”

"......," Zhang Fu sighed lightly and did not speak.

"Can you still pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Zhu Yong was angry and raised his voice: "The emperor's adjustment of the generals of the army seems to be righteous and bright, but in fact it contains evil intentions!" He sent us, the nobles who were martyred, either to the barren lands of Liangguang Yungui, or to the army that had a long-standing grudge with them! Instead, it is either a lackey like Liu Sheng who has already taken refuge in him, or an old general of the Hongwu Dynasty who has been on the side for twenty years! He's going to break our foundation! ”

"Well, English duke, I supposedly ought to have kept silent." Dingguo Gong on the side couldn't help but persuade him: "But the noble generals are in great trouble, and I can't care about it so much." After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, let the emperor continue like this, it won't take a few years, and the Ming Dynasty will no longer have any generals, we may be able to stay safe for a while, but sooner or later we will be thrown into the garbage heap!" Not to mention our children and grandchildren! ”

"I know......" Zhang Fu finally spoke, but said with a smug expression: "But that is the emperor, the heaven of the Ming Dynasty, what can I do as a courtier......

"There's always a way!" Zhu Yong held back a sentence, but looked at Zhang Fu, if he really had an idea, he had to count on this backbone.

Zhang Fu's lips moved a few times, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Yong, who was holding back, was about to burst, and couldn't help but shout: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

Zhang Fu shook his head with a wry smile, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the guest singing: "His Royal Highness Taisun came to pay tribute!" Family members kneel to welcome! ”

Hearing Zhu Zhanji coming, everyone was taken aback, and they followed the prestige, only to see Zhu Zhanji dressed in white, came in with a sad face, and after returning the salute to the family, he respectfully offered incense to Yangwuhou, and then knelt down next to Zhang Fu and others, and began to mourn with a solemn expression.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Ding Guogong asked softly.

"Hey, the Yangwu Hou family has a great kindness to Lone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the same as recreation, if Lone does not come, it is no different from a beast." Zhu Zhanji said softly, he looked much lighter, his cheekbones were raised high, and his nasolabial folds became more and more profound. In fact, he has had a very bad time in the past six months, and after the prince ascended the throne, he did not logically promote him, the grandson, to the crown prince, but ignored it, as if he had forgotten about it.

Therefore, until now, Zhu Zhanji still holds the title of His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, which is a title that is extremely respected in the Yongle Dynasty, but it has become a great mockery today! He is obviously the son of the current emperor! What kind of grandson is too?

Although the ministers all knew that this was a big mistake, they also knew that in the last years of Yongle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Sun were in discord, how could they dare to speak for him immediately? In addition, as soon as the crown prince ascended the throne, he drastically implemented reforms, completely negating the malpractices in the later period of Yongle......

As a result, His Royal Highness the red and purple grandson in the last years of Yongle was forgotten in this way. Zhu Zhanji also simply called himself sick, lived in a simple house, and had not been to the court for several months, so the nobles were so surprised by his sudden appearance.

Listening to Zhu Zhanji's words, the expressions of several grandfathers flickered, they were all human spirits, how could they not taste the simple meaning......

"Your Highness, if you come here and let Your Majesty know, I'm afraid you will be unhappy." Dingguo Gong is Zhu Zhanji's cousin, and it is suitable for pretending to be concerned about the temptation: "Let's go back quickly......"

"Father is father, I am me." Zhu Zhanji said expressionlessly: "There is no reason that only my father is not allowed to obey my father's way, and I am not allowed to obey my father's way." ”

"......" Several grandfathers looked at each other, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness Taisun to express his dissatisfaction with the emperor so ****. What else is there not to understand now? He's going to be on their side and fight against the emperor!

Zhu Yong looked at Zhang Fu excitedly, meaning, 'The grandson has been added, what else do you have to hesitate about!' ’

Zhang Fu looked at him helplessly, is this the place to get down to business?

Just when the princes were talking about the arrival of His Royal Highness the Grand Grandson, they were excited, and suddenly heard a heart-rending howl at the door.

"Daddy!"

This sound was really like an earth-shattering shock, and all the princes and nobles in the courtyard were shocked, and they all closed their mouths, and looked back again.

Before they could turn around, they saw Xue Huan, the second son of Xue Huan, dressed in white, staggering in from outside, and with an earth-shattering cry, he rushed to Xue Huan's coffin, lying on the coffin and beating his chest and feet, crying loudly!

"Daddy! Big brother went, you went too! How can I live if I leave my son alone! ”

The grief-stricken Xue Ergongzi slammed his forehead against the huge Nanmu coffin, and blood flowed in a blink of an eye. Zhu Yong and Zhu Zhanji on the side hurriedly pulled him away, otherwise Xue Huan might really follow in Xue Lu's footsteps!

"Let go of me! Let me go! I'm not alive anymore! Xue Huan struggled violently, which Zhu Yong and Zhu Zhanji could hold down, or the British Duke stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, Xue Lu's face was swollen and red, but her husband's palm seemed to have the power of ten thousand jun, and he couldn't struggle no matter how he struggled.

Xue Huan struggled to break free, full of grief and indignation, unable to vent, turned into a mouthful of blood and sprayed on the coffin, shocking everyone......

After ......vomiting blood, Xue Huan's eyes were straight, and he fainted......

When Xue Huan woke up, he found that he was already lying in the room, and Zhu Zhanji was sitting on the side, looking at him with concern on his face.

Xue Huan struggled to get up, Zhu Zhanji pressed his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Lie down, you have to rest, otherwise you will die." ”

Xue Huan had already rushed to Guangdong, but before crossing the Yangtze River, he received the bad news of his father's death, so he returned to Beijing for funeral at night, without eating, drinking, or sleeping along the way, and his body was on the verge of collapse.

"My heart was on fire, and I couldn't lie down at all." Xue Huan shook his head, Douda's tears flowed down, and he hissed: "How could an old thing like my father who has no heart and lungs do such a thing?" ”

"Hey, it's my father and son who are sorry for you......" Zhu Zhanji's face was full of shame, and he sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that my father was too unfair to your father and made him embarrassed, he wouldn't have gone to a dead end." ”

"......" Xue Huan clenched his teeth, his fists clenched so much that his muscles burst out, and his whole person seemed to be burned by anger.

"I'm here, let me be beaten and scolded, even if you stab me, as long as you can feel better...... Zhu Zhanji said bitterly: "Looking at you like this, I feel uncomfortable." ”

Xue Huan stared at Zhu Zhanji for a long time, and finally shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I know, it's not His Highness's business, and your life is not easy......

"Yes, my grandson has now become the laughing stock of the whole world...... Zhu Zhanji said gloomily: "I really can't imagine that after my father ascends the throne, he will become like this......" said with his eyes full of sadness: "I am a sinner!" ”

"Why did Your Highness say this?" Xue Huan asked in surprise: "You are also being persecuted, the emperor is perverse, what do you have to do?" ”

"Hey......" Zhu Zhanji looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, his lips moved for a long time, as if he had just made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "You and I are friends of life and death, and I have nothing to hide," he said and lowered his voice: "Actually, before the imperial grandfather died, there was an edict to me!" ”

"Then why don't you take it out?" Xue Huan asked strangely, and then said in shock: "Could it be that the throne is ...... Not the Prince? ”

"That's right," Zhu Zhanji nodded, and said with heavy eyes: "The person who passed on the throne to the imperial grandfather is actually me." ”

"Huh?!" Xue Huan sat up suddenly, looked at Zhu Zhanji with a shocked face, and said, "Really? Then why not take it out! ”

"Can this kind of thing be a joke?" Zhu Zhanji nodded and said bitterly: "If I become the emperor, how will my father deal with himself?" How do the people of the world see me? I don't know, I don't know, ......I don't know" Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said with a painful face: "I don't know how to answer these questions, so I can only keep it secret and give way to my father's ......."

"Your Highness! How can you be so confused?! The scar on Xue Huan's face turned red, and he patted the edge of the bed heavily: "The first emperor saw through the prince's backbone, and knew that he would turn the first emperor's country upside down!" That's why you will succeed to the throne! ”
