Chapter 68: The Funeral of Lian Kingdom

On the second day, Ning Zeqing officially mentioned the purpose of this visit to Bai Yuxuan.

"During the expedition of the Hundred Tribes Army, Lian Guo also handed over the national oath, but for some reason there was no progress in the follow-up, and the soldiers who were supposed to go to the attack did not appear. Zi Raid is not arrogant to ask for something, but this matter is a little abnormal, so I came to ask how it is. Ning Zeqing handed over the national oath document of the previous Lian Kingdom to Bai Yuxuan.

Bai Yuxuan looked at the paperwork, and there was indeed confusion on his face: "I don't know about this matter." I thought it was because my father fell ill suddenly, and I didn't have time to explain, so I forgot about it later. ”

"There are two copies of this book, one is in my son's possession, and the other is in the custody of King Lian himself. The eldest prince can also find out where the documents are placed to confirm the truth of what I say. ”

Bai Yuxuan smiled and said, "It's not that I don't believe General Ning's words. In this way, I handed over twice the number of soldiers under the original agreement, and General Ning thought it was feasible? ”

"That's not necessary, I'm just here to inquire about anomalies, since it's ......"

"Eldest Prince, King Lian ......" A palace man suddenly rushed in and interrupted the two of them, knelt down, and almost threw themselves on the ground.

Bai Yu was furious: "What's the matter, make you so anxious that you make a loud noise in front of the guests!" ”

The palace people trembled, and barely stabilized their voices: "The eldest prince, King Lian is ...... Dead. ”

Bai Yuxuan was taken aback when he heard this, and ran straight to the dormitory. Ning Zeqing also followed.

When I arrived at the dormitory, the man on the couch was really silent.

"Father! Father! Bai Yuxuan turned his head and scolded the doctor who was kneeling on the edge of the collapse, "Look what's wrong with your father!" ”

The healer trembled, looking very frightened: "The eldest prince, the king of Lian...... He was dead. ”

Bai Yuxuan kicked the doctor to the ground: "Father, he was fine yesterday, why did he die suddenly, it must be because you people didn't take care of him!" ”

This healer was the one who was ordered to prescribe the medicine of the tiger and wolf to King Lian, and now after listening to Bai Yuxuan's instructions, he kicked him again, and he really couldn't understand why.

He had to crawl back and kneel in his place, not daring to say more.

All the palace people in the audience know that the eldest prince looks like a gentleman on weekdays, and he is not inferior to the ruthless one, but they are all frightened and worried at the moment, lest the next one will take the knife again, so naturally they all only stare at the ground and dare not make a sound.

Ning Zeqing probed King Lian's snort, and saw that there was no breathing in his chest, knowing that it was already an ossified shape, and no matter how much he wanted, he had no way to return to the sky, and said to Bai Yuxuan: "Eldest son, the person has gone." ”

When Bai Yu heard this, he showed a sad expression, waved weakly, and asked everyone to step back and start preparing for the future.

Ning Zeqing saw that Lian Guo had a sudden national funeral, and it was inconvenient to talk about state affairs, so he could only wait for the funeral to be discussed.

Unexpectedly, this night, Bai Yuxuan came to the door.

Ning Zeqing heard that someone was knocking on the door, so he approved his coat and went to open the door, and the one standing was Bai Yuxuan, who was already wearing mourning clothes, dressed in white linen, but it seemed that the smile on his face had faded a lot.

"This is the document I found when I was sorting out my father's relics, it is the book of the national oath of the Hundred Tribes Army that General Ning asked, it must be really my father who forgot to explain. Since this is the case, I will follow what is written in this document, and allocate a certain number of soldiers to you, so as to live up to the friendship between the two countries. ”

Bai Yuxuan handed over the document in his hand to Ning Zeqing.

Ning Zeqing took the paperwork and said, "In this way, I'm tired of the eldest son." In addition, people cannot be resurrected if they go, so I hope that I will mourn. ”

Bai Yuxuan nodded slightly, hesitated for a while, his expression was unpredictable, and he wanted to say something to him, but he couldn't say it, as if there was something unspeakable.

Ning Zeqing noticed his abnormality and asked, "What else does the eldest prince have to say?" ”

Bai Yu suddenly knelt on the ground, took out another piece of paper from his sleeve, and handed it to Ning Zeqing with both hands, with a look of sacrifice and martyrdom.

"Please also ask General Ning to see this before leaving." Bai Yuxuan spoke again and again, as if he was holding something that would change the color of heaven and earth.

Ning Zeqing was puzzled, took the paper and looked at it, but he was suddenly shocked, became more and more solemn, and carefully read every word written on it over and over again.

What is recorded above is actually a list of Yeqi and others who conspired against each other during the conscription, and the plan to commit the crime one by one.

"Please also ask General Ning to know clearly, this is what I got when I counted my father's relics, I skimmed a little bit of it, and I also know a little bit about what the record is. At the beginning of the translation, I was also very alarmed, I didn't expect my father to have such a rebellious heart for his son. It's just that my father has always been lenient with others, and I think that he must have been instigated by a treacherous villain to give birth to such a different heart. I will definitely investigate this matter and tell the truth to King Ming. The people of Lian are innocent, and the general must distinguish clearly from King Ming, so he should not be suspicious of Lian because of this matter, which will affect the good of the two countries. ”

When he finished speaking, Bai Yuxuan had already shed tears, his eyes were full of sorrow, and he kowtowed heavily to the ground, and he couldn't stand it.

Ning Zeqing thought for a moment and helped him up: "This matter is that King Xianlian is alone one by one, and the people have already left, so it is naturally best not to hurt the diplomatic relations between the two countries." I will tell King Ming about this matter, and how to deal with it still needs to be decided by King Ming. ”

Bai Yuxuan replied: "Since General Ning's words, I am a lot more relieved. I don't have anything to say about how to deal with it. It's just that my father has gone, and if I want to blame, I ask the general to let King Ming put it on my head. Bai Yu was determined to take full responsibility and had no complaints. ”

"The eldest prince is serious, King Ming has always been clear about affairs, this matter has nothing to do with you, so naturally he will not add guilt to you. However, "Ning Zeqing was worried about the list of rebellions in his hand, "The people on this list still have to ask the eldest prince to explain." ”

Bai Yu hurriedly replied: "That's nature. In addition, tomorrow is my father's funeral, and I also ask General Ning to leave after the funeral, which can be regarded as the last ride for my father. ”

Although King Lian is suspected of overturning the sub-attack, he is also the lord of a country in the end, and the people are gone, it doesn't matter, Ning Zeqing will respond.

On the second day, the funeral was not held as scheduled, and Ning Zeqing didn't know why. It's just that the people in the palace are getting busier and busier, and they seem to be anxious, and the army with guns and swords is passing through it, adding a sense of unpredictability.

After a delay of six or seven days, the funeral was held.

Before the funeral banquet, Bai Yuxuan took care of various matters, and the rest of the princes wept and knelt in the palace.

Kneeling for a long time, but only crying was heard in the hall, and no tears were seen, and everyone just knelt according to the rules, and there was no sadness on their faces, and there was no sense of mourning. Only because the little boy couldn't sit still and wanted to go back, he was reprimanded by the nurse for a few words, and then he started crying.

Bai Yuxuan was around and dotted, reining in his usual smile, but also feeling light.

After the crying, everyone took their seats.

In the customs of Lian country, it is necessary to eat fasting meat and not to ban alcohol, so there are still pots of wine on each table.

Ning Zeqing and others also chose plain and solemn clothes to go to the banquet to set off the atmosphere of the funeral banquet.
