Kangxi said, after a moment's thought, he suddenly understood what Yinzhen was referring to, sighed lightly, and couldn't help but be moved, "Hey...... You don't have to go as a proxy for me, just make a private visit. () If he has anything to say, you will listen to it and let me know, if not...... You will make it clear in detail, and the funeral ceremony system in Beijing should be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs at its discretion. ”

"Hey, my son can save it. Yinzhen thanked the emperor on behalf of Tong Guowei first, and then got up, although the emperor's words made him feel relieved, but also made him worry and blame himself for Tong Guowei, and then slightly relieved Kangxi a few words, and accompanied him to lunch, Yinzhen resigned, and left Tangquan at the end of the day, leading the guards to gallop to Beijing.

Along the way, every time he thought of Tong Guowei's legacy, Yinzhen's heart sank to the bottom, he rushed to Beijing non-stop, originally hoping for a trace of luck, hoping to see Tong Guowei for the last time, but in the end it was not the wish, when Yinzhen arrived at the mouth of the East Jiadao Hutong, it was already five watches at night, and he saw more than a dozen plain white people from a distance, and set up a white sarong in front of the Tong Mansion. When the horse approached, the situation up and down became more and more real, Yin Zhen suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, he pushed away the guards who wanted to help him, turned over and dismounted with his anger, and just stood firm and asked urgently, "Tong Gonghe?!" Before the words fell, I saw a white man rushing down the steps from the ladder, kneeling on the spot, pulling the reins of the horse with both hands, lying in front of him and crying and asking for peace, "Fourth master...... Just now, my husband has already gone to ......" Hearing this, the accompanying guards have picked up the tassels and gone to the top, although Tong Guowei has been promoted, but he still leads the title of Minister of the Interior, and the errand who was in charge of the guards that day is the right management of these people.

Yinzhen suddenly felt that his chest was like a heavy hammer falling, and Ren Na was crying in front of him for a while, Yinzhen calmed down a little, and walked in without saying a word, the steward panicked, but he didn't dare to call him, and hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve, and hurriedly followed. When Yinzhen entered the alley, there was already a doorman who heard the sound of horses' hooves and entered the inner court, as soon as Zifu entered the atrium, he saw that there was an internal steward in front of him, and Long Keduo hit the inner courtyard with filial piety to welcome out, first knelt down for Yinzhen, and then fell to the ground, crying loudly, "The slave Ama didn't have time to meet the prince, he went to the ...... first." Yin Zhen only felt a throat infarction for a while, and it took a long time to help Long Keduo up, and he choked and said, "Take me to see Gong Tong?"

Long Keduo thanked him with a little trepidation, and the family members on the side saw that Yinzhen came to help him, and they were also busy holding Long Keduo on the side, and when he stood up, his steps were still a little vague and unsteady, and it was easy to suppress the sadness, and he hurriedly stopped Yinzhen and said, "I just followed the letter sent by the guards sent by the fourth master last night, and I was rushing to Amata...... The slave was busy and didn't have time to prepare for the driving ceremony, and he didn't dare to let the fourth master go like this...... "The more Long Keduo said, the more anxious he became, he stomped around with his feet on the spot, and pointed to the two family members around him and scolded, "What are you still doing here, set up an incense case according to the rules!"

"Uncle, slow down. Yin Zhen grabbed Long Keduo and called him. Seeing that Long Keduo was just stunned, Yin Zhen explained, "I'm not visiting on behalf of the emperor. Huang Ama has an edict first, the dry city of the Principality of Tong, the merit is in Sheji, and it is my maternal ancestor again, and I came to visit with a private gift. Huang Ama was always looking forward to the meaning of Tong Gong getting better......" Long Keduo couldn't hold back his tears when he said this, and immediately knelt down in his robe, and kowtowed three times to Yinzhen, "Slave Long Keduo, on behalf of the slave Ama to thank the master for his grace." ”

The court was full of plain white, and the whole house was soaked in a sense of sadness, Yinzhen saw him thank him, and sighed wistfully while helping him get up, and said earnestly, "When I finally saw the last face of Gong Tong, my uncle asked me to pay tribute according to the family ceremony." As he spoke, he actually made a long bow to Long Keduo. "The fourth master can't be ......" Long Keduo hurriedly supported Yinzhen, while searching his stomach and picking words to persuade him, but Yinzhen always insisted, and Long Keduo couldn't find reason to refute him for a while, and it was not like standing in the courtyard like this, so he had to hesitate to respond, sent away his subordinates, and personally led Yinzhen to the mourning hall.

After passing through the house, the first entrance is the main room, and the second entrance is the place where the mourning hall is located. Wait to get to the hall, Yinzhen stands in the middle, what catches the eye is the long case spirit table with all kinds of melon and fruit incense candles, the god is set in the middle of the case, and the tablet is written with an ink pen on the tablet 'Huangqing edict sealed the first class of the state of the former minister of the council and the government to manage the guard of the minister of the palace to grant the Guanglu doctor the uncle of the country and the uncle of the Tongfu Jun Ling', the long inscription hanging on both sides of the mourning hall is also the same word. The nephews of the Tong family kneeling in the hall, saw that Long Keduo led Yinzhen in, and they all bowed to him, Long Keduo personally lit high incense in front of the case, turned over and respectfully handed it to Yinzhen, and a family member came to tie a filial piety belt around Yinzhen's waist for Yinzhen, Yinzhen solemnly bowed the incense three times, and then handed over the incense to Long Keduo, and then lifted his clothes and knelt down, and bowed very respectfully, and suddenly felt a great mourning in his heart, and only got up after a while. Long Keduo was forced by him to be unable to do so, and Zhang Huangjian couldn't even take care of crying, and when he saw him get up, he was relieved easily, and hurriedly knelt down to return the salute, and then got up with Yinzhen in his arms, and said in a panic, "The fourth master is really out of order...... How dare Amma, a slave?"

Seeing that Yinzhen just waved his hand disappreciatively, Long Keduo didn't say anything, and explained everything in the hall to his brother-in-law, bowed down and led Yinzhen out, and served tea to the east inner hall. Just as Long Keduo was retiring from the group of servants and maids, Yin Zhenfang remembered that there was another holy order that had not been informed to him, and hurriedly asked, "I almost forgot to ask my uncle, when Gong Tong was dying, did he have any last words? This question aroused Long Keduo's full of sorrow, and he saw that his sloppy face to the sun darkened, and he swallowed and choked up, "When the slave Amma was dying, he couldn't say anything...... Intermittently, just ordered the slave to send the testament prepared a month ago to the line, and asked the slave to kneel in front of the couch, and told the slave to take the lives of hundreds of Tong family members, saying that the Tong family has always been just the slave of the master, and the glory of several generations is the grace of the masters of the past generations, and also taught the slave to swear, no matter when, only obey the emperor's orders, be loyal to the community, and ...... after death"

This is what Yinzhen didn't expect - it was really the deep heart of Tong Guoweijun, with these last words, he wanted to eliminate the emperor's previous hesitation about the Tong family and bless the safety of his descendants......; As soon as he responded to the sentence "Tong Gongzhong's bright wind", he didn't care about Long Keduo's sadness, his somewhat complicated gaze fell on the carved window edge, and fell into contemplation for a long time......
