Chapter 133: Funeral
On the second day, countless palace guards arrived at the Shengguo Mansion. People walking tea and cool are probably such a realm, almost all the young servants in the Shengguo Mansion are gone, and only some old servants who have been taking care of them in the past are left. The main house had already been sealed, and the Nguyen were in a hurry to sort out the package.
People walk a lot at night, and they will always encounter ghosts knocking on the door.
In the past, there was a big mountain in front of the Shengguo Mansion, and the creditors of the Ruan family who had lost their capital did not dare to come to the door to ask for debts. Who would have thought that the mistress of a national mansion would actually owe a lot of debts. Now that the Shengguo Mansion has fallen, the former creditors have also come to the door one by one. Sheng Feifei sat in the room, occasionally hearing the sound of quarrels coming from outside.
Holding the half-embroidered wedding dress in her hand, the original marriage is gone, but the wedding dress is still there. She only felt that the red capital in front of her was particularly ironic - she always hated Sheng Mingzhu, and felt that she was not as good as herself as a concubine, but now she is still the high-ranking Miss Shangshufu, and now the Shengguo Mansion has fallen to the bottom.
——
Sheng Guogong's funeral banquet has not yet been held, and Wang Fu has already reported the funeral of Lao Guogong to Emperor Wei.
There is no scorching heat on the South Mountain, and it is cool. Occasionally, there are birds flying around, and the light is fleeting, as if it has gone to the prosperity of the world. Anyone who looks at such a scene will wonder if it will be an immortal in the world who lives here—Emperor Wei is sitting in a pavilion, wearing only a white shirt.
It was obviously not hot, but the fan in his hand kept fanning, and the expression on his face was gloomy and uncertain.
"Your Majesty?" Wang Fu raised his head slightly and glanced at Emperor Wei.
The fan in Emperor Wei's hand paused, "When you went, how was the old Guogong?" "He had a desolation in his heart from the inside out, and he died, almost all of them. Wang Fu replied, "When the slave and maid went, the old man was sick and had already gone. ”
Emperor Wei was silent for a long time before he said, "Which is the imperial doctor?" ”
"It's Li Jichang, Imperial Doctor Li." The imperial physician commonly used by Emperor Wei on weekdays.
The Sheng family holds the power of the army, the old and dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the old man Sheng was such a strong person in the past, how could others force him to death. Unless he thinks that he has given an order, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. In the past, Emperor Wei liked his loyalty very much, but now, he is very tired of his loyalty.
I'm afraid that the old minister also thinks that he wants to be a king with a degree to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but he has a reputation that does not need to be borne by himself. In the future, when he was under the imperial power, there was no emperor and no longer honored, and what face did he have in the face of the courtiers who worked hard with him, and he himself died safely, but he became a king who would be questioned by his conscience in the future.
Emperor Wei got up from his chair and staggered to leave. I don't know if it's because I'm too anxious to get up or because I've been in the sun for too long, my eyes are suddenly dark, and I'm about to plant forward, thanks to Wang Fufu's soul, I hurriedly stretched out my hand and knelt to help people, and hurriedly called the accompanying doctor-
"Go find someone to prepare the carriage and horses, I want to go back to Beijing." Emperor Wei said with a half-cough.
Wang Fu's eyes were worried, "Your Majesty, your body-" but was quickly interrupted by Emperor Wei, and he couldn't say anything, "Go and let people prepare carriages and horses!" ”
——
Emperor Wei went on a trip to Nanshan for two months, saying that he was recuperating from the summer, but he came back when the heat was the most unstoppable.
Sheng Mingzhu's family is in the Shengguo Mansion, and this Japan is the funeral day of the Sheng Guogong. But the prince made people raid the Shengguo Mansion, but the body of the old Duke Sheng could not be delayed any longer, the heat was difficult to resist, the old prince was decent when he was born, and he could not be buried with a body that was rotten by the summer, even the ice basin could not solve such a hot weather.
Sheng Qian has always known the golden mean in officialdom, especially when Dawei is so chaotic now, he thinks that he is also half a good official, at least he has done such things as seeking the well-being of the people. But it is inevitable that it will be customary, just like now, the prince obviously raided the Shengguo Mansion, but he sent someone to tear the seal so that his father could be buried peacefully.
Sheng Mingzhu was wearing a white filial piety robe, and Sheng Feifei and Sheng Lin stood to the side.
The three heirs of the Sheng family were holding the coffin in front, among which the eldest lord Sheng Mao cried the most, and the second lord Sheng Chen did not cry like him, but his eyes were also red, and the three of them were silent all the way over. During the beating, Ruan cried very badly, and on the other hand, he held the coffin of the old lady, as if he had died of his own mother.
Sheng Feifei also had red eyes, people were not plants.
Although Mrs. Song is strict on weekdays, she is not bad for her. Now that the two old men in the family have gone suddenly, it is as if the sky has fallen, her sky has fallen, and she will no longer be the young lady of the Guogong Mansion in the future. He looked at his father in front of him in a daze, and suddenly felt that the road ahead was gloomy.
Women should be pretty, three points of filial piety. Sheng Mingzhu is dressed in a white filial piety dress today, and her black hair is like satin, and her eyebrows and eyes are slightly red. There are not many people who come to the Shengguo Mansion to mourn, after all, the prince's side has been cloudy and sunny during this time, and now that he is supervising state affairs, no one wants to touch his brow.
Only a few people came here and there, and during the period, Song Ge Lao, as well as Liu Zhiran and other old subordinates of Sheng Qian's household department came over.
There is also Wei Xi.
Sheng Mingzhu's eyes fell there, and Wei Ci was talking to her father. Now she has no affection for the royal family, but she also knows that her grandfather did not die at the hands of the crown prince. The prince was still at the dinner that day, and he was still smiling and talking to her and Yongning, even if he had good acting skills, he didn't have to miss anything in front of her.
Now that my grandfather is dead, the prince has never come to mourn, and it seems that he has become close to the Sheng family. It is another situation of competition for the throne, Sheng Guogong is dead, but the Sheng family still has a giant in the court, and seeing that the prince has become an enemy on his face, it is naturally impossible. Wei Ci now dared to slap the prince's face, and it was hard to guarantee that he didn't have the heart to win over.
Sheng Mingzhu frowned slightly, but he was not worried, it made no sense that he could think of something.
"The prince came to mourn today, Sheng should have been with him, but today-" Sheng Qian bowed his head, but he didn't have the heart to say anything to the seven princes. He knew the intention of the seven princes, and he hated the prince's handling of the Shengguo Mansion like this after his father's death, but today was the day of his father's funeral, and he was not in the mood to think about anything else.
Wei Ci glanced at his brows invisibly, but after a while, he still said, "The old prince is mourning today, and Lord Sheng wants to come and grief in his heart, even this king is the same." When I was young, I also heard a lot of things about the old prince, if it weren't for his invincible long knife, there would be no country in the Great Wei Dynasty today - he is a hero, but it's a pity that the imperial brother doesn't know how to cherish talents. ”
Wei Xi didn't want to spend a lot of time here.
He thought that Sheng Qian should be a smart person and understood what he meant by what he said. Now that Sheng Guogong is gone, the Sheng family has no military power, and the prince is gaining power but will inevitably lose the favor of his father.
Sheng Qian naturally knew what Wei Ci meant by this, and said that the prince did not cherish talents, which clearly meant to recruit him.
Today's Great Wei Imperial Court, to be honest, there are not many princes available, and only Wei Xi and the crown prince have grown together. The prince is too straight and angry, and he is easy to be used by people with intentions. Sheng Qian had also heard Emperor Wei mention it intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't care that he was the candidate for the next prince.
These Seven Highnesses performed even more remarkably in the past. Sheng Qian knew that he was the next emperor from his daughter's dream, and his inherent monarchy did not give him any intention of resisting, after all, the monarch wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die, so he naturally followed Sheng Guogong.
also thought that it was about Akari who was on the wrong team before, so he ended up in defeat for the Sheng family. After receiving God's instructions, although he rose steadily all the way, he was also afraid that this high-rise building would rise quickly and collapse quickly, and he inadvertently opened up the distance between him and the Shengguo Mansion. I want to be a lonely minister to keep safe. Now Wei Ci is in such a hurry to win him over, and he has come to offer condolences to his father.
Secretly, it's just a bargaining chip.
Sheng Qian knew very well in his heart that with the prince's temperament, he had done such a thing, and now it would not be such a performance, whether Wei Xi was involved in this matter or not, God knows, the earth knows, and he himself knows it. What I thought in the past was to conform to the will of heaven, no matter who the next emperor was, he only needed to be his official and keep the whole family.
At this point, I suddenly had some thoughts of changing my life. He only raised his head slightly, looking at Wei Xi, "There are still many funerals in the mansion that have not been dealt with, and the lower officials really have no intention of reverie anything else." ”
Wei Ci seemed to have been beaten back with a soft cotton punch, and looked at Sheng Qian, "Naturally, the old prince has just passed away, and Lord Sheng is naturally extremely sad in his heart. It's just that my lord, there must be a limit to this sorrow, and it's better not to make this king wait too long. With that, he shook himself and left, and a gust of wind rose, and the guards he had brought with him also left.
Sheng Mingzhu himself was standing not far from Sheng Qian, and when he heard something, he walked over and said, "I don't like these Seven Highnesses." Xu is Wei Xi had eyes on the back of his head, and as soon as Sheng Mingzhu finished saying this, he turned his head to look at her, and his eyes were about to collide.
It's far away, he shouldn't be able to hear what he says, Sheng Mingzhu thought, and saluted Wei Xi again.
"In the past, in the winter hunting, Xiao Wang was young and shallow, and I hope that Miss Sheng will forget her previous suspicions", Wei Xi looked at the girl in front of her, with a black and white face, she was also in black and white clothes, but her eyebrows were sober and different from everyone else. A rare beauty, and the name of someone else's fiancée is attached, and it is becoming more and more attractive.
Sheng Mingzhu felt that his eyes were strange, and Wei Ci continued, "Feichi is a little younger, and he has also been taught a lesson by the governor of Guan Du in the past. I hope to see Miss Sheng again in the future, and I can give up a smile on my king's face. ”
Sheng Mingzhu's face sank suddenly, and it was not clear what he meant before, but now it was very clear. Even Sheng Qian's face was not very good, his daughter was married to someone else, and the engaged wife had also been decided, but now the seven princes were blatantly like this, so they also waved their hands and said, "The prince will not send it away slowly." ”
