Chapter 544: Funeral
The funeral of the eldest princess is scheduled for three days later, and the time is a little urgent, but fortunately, the royal family is different from ordinary people, and the rules are thorough, so it is not bad to prepare.
Hearing that the eldest princess died in childbirth, Emperor Hui's illness was serious, and the queen mother was so frightened that she didn't dare to let people disturb Emperor Hui, except for the queen and herself, none of the concubines in the harem were allowed to come close.
As for the affairs of the previous dynasty, they were all handed over to the prince to take care of, and the prince could call the shots, and he was not called to disturb Emperor Hui.
Concubine Rong was also sick, and when she heard that the illness was not light, the Queen Mother lifted her grounding, and asked her to send some nourishing herbs over, telling her not to grieve too much.
After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and those who are alive must always live.
At the funeral of the eldest princess, Lu Zheng also went to the prince's mansion to mourn.
He wore a plain robe, walked to the front of the mourning hall, held incense and worshipped, his demeanor was solemn, and his heart was free of distractions.
No matter what, the dead should be respected, people say that the dead are great, maybe they have seen too much killing on the battlefield, Lu Zheng always has an extraordinary awe for the undead.
The eldest prince also politely accepted Lu Zheng's salute, and his face was sad.
Lu Zheng was used to being taciturn, and he was not good at flattery, and after the condolences were finished, he left the mourning hall with the attendants of the Great Prince's Mansion, and did not stay to carefully comfort the Great Prince like other officials.
The eldest prince followed the crowd and looked at the back of Lu Zheng leaving, and suddenly had a very ridiculous idea in his heart.
He didn't know why he had such thoughts at the moment, and he felt that if Lu Zheng could be used by him, it would be good to be loyal to him.
Although Lu Zheng can't say beautiful words, nor can he flatter, but he is really good enough, looking at the back of his departure, he is more upright and resolute than others, such a person, how much energy, the eldest prince does not know, if he wants to fight for that position, there must be capable people around him.
He's too, thirsty for talent!
It's a pity that Lu Zheng is the prince's person, so no matter how good he is, he is destined to be impossible to get together with him......
The eldest princess died in childbirth, and Emperor Hui was sick again, so he did not mourn, but there was still dignity, but it was not so grand.
The Wang family only came to Wang Depu and Wang Wenzheng, and Wang Depu's wife He took care of the Yang family in the house.
I heard that Yang is seriously ill, and it seems that there is something bad to look at.
When people mention this, they can't help but sigh.
The former Wang family was also very prosperous, who would have thought that Wang Changping would be assigned, and the eldest princess would die at a young age?
Husbands and daughters have had accidents one after another, and even if they are beaten with iron, they can't withstand such a blow.
The major families also came to mourn, the old lady of the Yongning Hou Mansion, the Xu family, the Yongning Hou Gu Lin and the Fang family, and the prince Gu Cong, all came.
This time, Xu didn't bring a girl.
Gu Ningwei, the only one who can be brought out, is closed and refuses to see people, and the others, even though the Xu family has a heart, but their identity is not worthy, and it is not easy to bring them out.
If you want to talk about it, An Sheng can barely bring it out, she is now the quasi-daughter-in-law of the Protectorate Mansion, and her identity is different.
However, a few days ago, the eldest prince sent someone to invite An Sheng to the prince's mansion to see the illness for the eldest princess, but before An Sheng's people arrived, the eldest princess went.
After the funeral, Yejing City gradually returned to calm.
Just like what Wang Wenzheng persuaded the eldest prince and Wang Depu, the Si people have passed away, the living are like Si, and the living people still have to live.
Perhaps, someone will really mourn their life for the death of a person, and even want to go with it, but after all, such a minority is still a minority, at least the eldest prince, can't do it.
But even though he couldn't do that, he still had some decadence.
He also has true feelings for Wang Pingting in the end, although this relationship is also discounted, but after all, if a person goes like this, he can't let it go all at once.
Just when the capital was gradually calming down, another big incident happened.
The crown prince was ordered by Emperor Hui to secretly interrogate the Xiongnu envoys, and there was a result.
I don't know what method the prince used, in short, the mouth of the Hun envoy was pried open.
At the same time, news came back from the northwest, and the secret guards sent by Emperor Hui to the northwest sent a message back, saying that there was a team of Huns stationed outside the cold iron mine, and there was a great posture of recovering the mineral deposits by force.
The news from both sides was sent to Emperor Hui almost at the same time, and Emperor Hui was so angry that he dropped the teacup twice in a row.
After dropping the teacup, the anger in Emperor Hui's heart calmed down a little, and he patted the dragon case under his hand and said to the prince: "Since the Huns are so ignorant, then send a copy of the good things we got to the King of the Huns!" Tell him that if he wants someone, he will come to Nanzhao in person, and I won't give it to him! ”
It was rare for Emperor Hui to be so hard-hearted, and the prince immediately responded, and then personally drafted a letter and presented it to Emperor Hui.
After Emperor Hui saw it, he pointed out a few inappropriate points, and asked the prince to send someone to write a letter to the Xiongnu!
However, who to send is another question.
Seeing Emperor Hui's hesitation, the prince thought about it and recommended someone to Emperor Hui.
"Lu Wen?" Emperor Hui frowned when he heard what the prince said.
The crown prince replied: "It is Lu Wen, Lu Wen is the most powerful deputy general around Lu Zheng, and he has followed Lu Zheng to guard the northwest all the year round, and he also knows a lot about the Huns. ”
Lu Wen, Emperor Hui also knows.
Thinking about it carefully, he also felt that what the prince said was right.
Lu Wen has been following Lu Zheng to guard the northwest all the year round, and he must have some understanding of the matter of cold iron, so it is indeed appropriate for him to go to the northwest to deliver a letter.
"Then let Lu Wen go."
"Yes, father, the son will arrange it."
Emperor Hui nodded, and then, as if he thought of something again, stopped the prince and ordered: "Then the Hun envoy, you are optimistic, don't let him have an accident, at least before someone from the Huns comes, no accident." ”
Of course, Emperor Hui could not really threaten the king of the Huns, and he personally came to Nanzhao to make people, doing so was tantamount to taking the initiative to provoke a war, and when the time came, reasonable would become unreasonable.
Of course, the letter to the king of the Xiongnu could not be written, asking him to come to Nanzhao in person to lead the people, but it was good that he could not hear anywhere.
In any case, this time it was the Xiongnu side who was at fault, and Emperor Hui seized this opportunity and did not intend to let the Huns go easily.
These insatiable barbarians, it's time for them to learn a lesson, don't really think that Nanzhao is a big country, and I'm really afraid of them!
