Chapter 418: Halfway Interception
Today's Prime Minister's Mansion has already hung up the white silk, and today is the day of Mrs. Liu's funeral.
A few days ago, Liu Xiang personally went to Emperor Chen's face to plead guilty, fortunately, Mrs. Liu's tuberculosis did not spread, Emperor Chen remembered that he had worked hard over the years, so he just ordered the arrest of the doctor who concealed the old lady's condition, and comforted Liu Xiang a few words.
The funeral procession was extremely low-key, adhering to the simplicity and frugality that Liu Xiang has always advocated, if it weren't for the coffin made of high-grade nanmu, otherwise others would not know that this was the funeral of the great yuan family in the middle of the court.
The descendants of the Liu family wore linen and filial piety and followed behind the queue covered with white paper money, and from time to time there was a burst of sobbing, which showed the desolate and sad meaning.
At this time, Liu Xiyun was carefully supported by the maid, anxiously looking for Qin Yuyuan's figure in the crowd, she quickly glanced at Liu Xiang not far away, and then lowered her voice, "Madam?"
No matter how angry the father is, how can there be a reason not to let his mother show up on such a day, and won't it make outsiders laugh?
However, the maid also shook her head with a puzzled face, this scene fell under the eyes of Liu Xiyin next to her, and the corners of her mouth raised a touch of arc, mixed with a little mockery.
"Xiangye's Day mourning, I was taken care of by the old lady before, and I am here to see her off for the last time today. Several Dayuan, who had been friends with Liu, came in plain clothes, with a sad and regretful look on their faces.
"Thank you colleagues, I have understood this situation, but this time the road is far away, and I still don't bother you. ”
Liu Xiang has prepared a carriage outside Beijing, preparing to send Mrs. Liu's coffin back to her hometown and into the ancestral grave.
At this time, the team slowly stopped, and immediately a family member came to report, "Xiangye, the intersection ahead is blocked." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiang's eyes immediately sank.
Who doesn't know that today is the funeral of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the people nearby have already consciously given way, and there are still people who dare to make such a bold move?
"How can this be reasonable, who is making trouble?" Several ministers on the side also showed indignation.
"It's Yan Youjun......"
The surroundings suddenly quieted down, Liu Xiang's eyes flashed, and he muttered for a moment before he followed, and sure enough, the intersection had been blocked by more than a dozen Yan Youjun, and the cold momentum was prohibitive.
"Xiangye, this ......"
If it is an ordinary person, just drive it away, but it is the king of You, who no one dares to provoke, who dares to say a word?
In the teahouse across the street, in the hidden wing, this scene has already fallen in the eyes of Xia Qianwei, who is leisurely drinking tea.
The Qi guard stood aside with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and this morning the prince asked him to bring the county lord of Yongle out, saying that he had a thank you gift for her.
I don't know how Xiang Ye will deal with this situation?
After all, even His Majesty gave him three points of face, and Mrs. Liu should be sent out of Kyoto for burial with dignity.
"The hour hasn't come yet, so what's the matter? Yan Youjun may be on some mission, how can he delay the important matter of King Youjun because of a little personal matter in his own appearance. ”
Liu Xiang is so well aware of righteousness, and everyone really admires his broad-mindedness.
The spy hidden in the crowd quickly returned to the side of the Qi guard, only to hear the man laugh playfully, "Xiangye is really capable of bending and stretching, I hope he can be so reasonable in a while." ”
The team waited for a long time under the spring sun, but the Yan Youjun in front of them still stood still.
Seeing that the hour was approaching, several ministers looked at Liu Xiang's face one after another, and Xia Qianwei's eyes in the attic changed slightly, and she looked at the Qi guards who were slowly approaching Liu Xiang in surprise.
He's ...... Want to add heat?
"Xiangye, how can it be so coincidental, are you also here to buy the osmanthus cake from this drunken immortal building?" The Qi guard seemed to be respectfully stepping forward, the smile on his face was incompatible with the sad atmosphere of this funeral procession.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, osmanthus crisp?
Liu Xiang quickly noticed the abnormality, and he held back his anger and asked, "Isn't the prince doing business?"
"Of course not, today my prince suddenly became interested, and specially instructed the chef of this drunken immortal building to make three thousand servings of osmanthus cakes, ready to treat his Yan Youjun, it is better to humble himself for a while and also order to prepare a few points for Xiangye to take on the road to eat. ”
“......”
At this time, Liu Xiang already understood that this Qi guard was simply not good!
It was just to buy some osmanthus crisp, and they made them wait for two hours!
Xia Qianwei saw Liu Xiang's stiff expression from a distance, Mu Longyuan was really bad, wasn't that what he said about bullying?
Everyone thought that Xiang Ye should be in trouble right now, right? Who knows, after waiting for a long time, Liu Xiang smiled generously.
"The prince is really hard every day, and he should eat whatever he wants. ”
The undisguised disappointment on the face of the Qi guards, you must know that Xiangye seems to be gentle and elegant in the court on weekdays, but he is resolute in doing things, when did he become such a soft persimmon?
It's not interesting, it's really not interesting.
Xia Qianwei seemed to have expected Liu Xianghui to be so forbearing, after all, Qin Yuyuan had framed him before, but he was involved in Lord Lu under Mu Longyuan's hands, he should think that this was just a means for the King of You to vent his hatred.
I saw a streamer in the girl's eyes, and then summoned a Yan Youjun and commanded something in the other party's ear.
"Catch the thief! Damn, you dare to steal the osmanthus cake that the prince wants!"
After a while, there was a commotion in the drunken fairy building, and I saw a ragged child with something in his arms rampaging in front of everyone's eyes, and a smoke actually went to the coffin of Mrs. Liu in the team.
Several Yan Youjun chased after him, and the scene was chaotic.
The child dodged around the coffin as if he was playing, and Liu Xiang was horrified, "Catch him!"
At this time, those Yan Youjun had already pulled out the long swords at their waists and slashed at the loach-like child, so frightened that the porters who carried the coffin shouted again and again.
This shaking shocked the others, and no one noticed that one of Yan Youjun suddenly elbowed and stabbed one of the porters, and the man fell to his knees with a sigh.
"Watch out for the coffin!"
However, before everyone could react, Mrs. Liu's coffin slammed to the ground in the chaos!
"Oh my God, that's unlucky, isn't it?"
Liu Xiang's face suddenly turned blue, and his expression was indescribably terrifying.
Who knew that the Qi guards sighed inappropriately, "It seems that Old Lady Liu doesn't want to leave Beijing and wants to be buried here." ”
According to the rules handed down by the ancestors, the coffin cannot fall to the ground from the exit to the end, and if it lands, it will be unlucky, and it is said that if the coffin lands there, it means that the person wants to be buried there after death.
However, the absurdity is yet to come.
The child suddenly climbed onto the coffin, dodging like a monkey, only to hear Yan Youjun shouting, and actually used his internal strength to slap the coffin with one palm!
Everyone only heard a bang, and the coffin lid was shocked and flew out, and the stiff body of Mrs. Liu was exposed to the sun without warning!
Then, there was a gasp from the crowd......
