Zhang Yizhi held Xiao Qi's hand and said, "Xiao Qi, you're here." ”

"Grandfather, you..."

"Hey, my old guy obviously doesn't have any waves, why do you all look bitter and hateful, cough cough."

"Okay, look at your appearance, hey, you guys go, it's useless to stay here."

"Grandfather, what nonsense are you talking about, you are like this, how can we leave you here alone?"

"Hey, you kid, I don't have time, but you still have a lot of time to spend, my eyes are closed, it's a lifetime, you shouldn't waste it here."

At this time, Zhang Yizhi was already back to the light, Zhang Li looked at Zhang Yizhi and silently withdrew from the room.

Zhang Li is no longer thinking about Zhang Yizhi's future, but the fate of people next.

The head of the Zhang family, the founder of the prosperous era of the country, may have a good end in the end, and there is no sense of desolation in the last time.

At least accompanied by his own daughter and granddaughter, if it is a pity, it is that in the end, he did not see his long-missing son, Zhang Rui.

Zhang Yizhi's illness seems to be like a person taking tea to cool down, not many people come to the door to mourn, and the Zhang family does not give many people, interested in handling the funeral for Zhang Yizhi.

It's just that it's all on Li Shen's face and handling the aftermath for Zhang Yizhi.

There were only a few people guarding the spirit, and none of the children of the side family came, as if Zhang Yizhi had driven them out of the Zhang family in the past, and now they are taking revenge.

There were not many waves in the wake of the spirit, Xiao Qi experienced it twice in a month, and the numb Xiao Qi looked at the mourning hall, not knowing what kind of mood to use to express his current emotions.

At the beginning, Xiao Qi could still cry, but in the next few days, except for regret, there seemed to be no other emotions.

Zhang Yizhi's white affairs were handled very quickly, because King Yi's corpse was about to arrive in the capital, and King Yi Zhang Yihui, a person with a royal title, naturally this white matter had to be handled in accordance with the specifications of the Ministry of Rites.

The emperor didn't say anything about Zhang Yizhi's death, but he had to choose a nickname for Zhang Yihui.

Xiao Qi watched Zhang Yizhi's coffin slowly being carried out of the door of Zhang's house, tears flowed again, this was the last time Xiao Qi watched his grandfather leave, this time, it meant that it would never be possible to see each other again.

It's just that according to ancient customs, women can't send funerals, they can only watch their grandfather, accompanied by a few subordinates, and walk towards the carriage step by step.

Zhang Yizhi, as the patriarch of the Zhang family, wants to bury his body in the fief of the Zhang family, while Zhang Yihui will be buried in the royal family as a prince, which is the rule of the country.

As for Xiao Qi's uncles who did not come back, when they left, the two brothers Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Yihui explained to them that they were not allowed to return to Beijing no matter what happened.

Even if it's chaos in the world, or the death of the two of them.

This may be something that His Majesty did not expect, so that he ignored Zhang Yizhi's death, or did not have much feeling about Zhang Yihui's death.

"Your Majesty, if you don't make a statement about Zhang Xiangye, I'm afraid it will chill the world!"

Even after receiving the advice of the old ministers one after another, Yin Gaoce still insisted on going his own way, and seemed to despise the entire Chengguo etiquette law.

For the person who didn't know who died for his second grandfather, Xiao Qi was also grateful, and he didn't say anything else, and willingly guarded his spirit, but Zhang Fu didn't appear.

Zhang Li prescribed a pair of medicine for her mother, from the perspective of outsiders, this is because of her father's death and overwork, the real reason is that Zhang Li wants medicine to let her mother rest.

originally wanted to let Xiao Qi rest, but if the three of them were not there, they would still be suspected.

Even if no one pays attention to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi still has to be there, and no one can see any clues.

The people who came to the funeral who didn't know who it was were all famous nobles in the capital, and the purpose of their coming was not to mourn Zhang Yihui, but to have a good relationship with the upstarts on the spot.

This is the etiquette of the country, after the death of the previous prince, the next prince must observe filial piety for seven days.

Therefore, these people who came here are just using this to make friends with new magnates, Xiao Qi looked at these people who were talking and laughing, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery.

What is the meaning of such an excess?

Zhang Hai has been keeping the spirit for half a month, although he doesn't know why his grandfather didn't let Zhang Hai go with them, but Zhang Li warned Xiao Qi not to provoke this nominal junior brother of the Zhang family.

"Xiao Qi, you're tired, go take a rest."

"Big brother, I'm fine."

Zhang Hai affectionately put his hand on Xiao Qi's waist and hugged Xiao Qi, "Okay, you go back first, when there are fewer people, I will call you out again." ”

There are more people kneeling for this stranger that Xiao Qi doesn't know, but there are more people than Zhang Yizhi at that time, as long as they have a relationship with the Zhang family, they all have to come over to be this filial son and grandson.

Not only did they not dare to be a little sloppy, but the control of their expressions could be described as innocent, as if the person in the coffin was their own grandfather.

"In that case, then I'll go down first."

"Well, there you go."

Zhang Hai looked at Zhang Li and said, "Sister, you've been kneeling for so long, get up and take a rest."

"If my brother is tired, just go and rest, I'm not tired."

Zhang Hai said: "Sister, this is trying to let me do it? ”

Zhang Li remembered what Zhang Hai did to Xiao Qi just now, frowned and wanted to deny it, but in the end, she still agreed to Zhang Hai's opinion.

"Since there is nothing to do here, then Xiao Qi and I will go to see our mother, and only one Qianzhi is taking care of it over there, I am a little worried."

"Well, go ahead."

The doting in Zhang Hai's eyes was already to the point where he didn't want to hide it, Xiao Qi was very useful, but Zhang Li was silent.

After they left, Zhang Hai glanced at the coffin, revealing a trace of doubt, this time he did not kneel there, but stood to take the paper money from the hand of his servant, showing a strange smile.

Since this moment, Zhang Hai has never come to the mourning hall except when he has to come, Xiao Qi didn't guess what Zhang Hai was thinking, but Zhang Li was enlightened.

At this moment, from an alley near Zhang's house, several people wearing black robes walked out, they bought horses from the horse market, and walked towards the place where Zhang Yihui's body was found at that time.

As for Huang Shengrong, he has already walked with Zhang Yizhi's corpse to the journey back to the Zhang family's fiefdom.

After Zhang Yizhi's body was buried, a special remark began to circulate in the capital, that is, the Zhang family was a collaborator with the enemy and treason, so it ended up like this.

Otherwise, why did the Zhang family, which is so powerful, suddenly fall apart, and that's why the northern water country gathered heavy troops to guard the border between the two countries.

Although many people don't believe this news, this person said a lot, even those who were convinced that it was a fake thing at the beginning, after a lot of such remarks, began to doubt their support for the whole time.

Eighteen days after Zhang Yizhi left Beijing and eleventh day after Zhang Yihui's burial, public opinion in the capital changed from suspicion of the imperial family to condemnation of the Zhang family.

Of course, this is also on the premise of confirming that the Zhang family is now in decline, and these people dare to denounce it so blatantly. 、

In the past, the Zhang family was like a sleeping lion, as long as it didn't involve issues related to important matters of the Zhang family, he could tolerate it, but now the Zhang family is no longer good.

Even the throne of the Zhang family was inherited by a foreign surname, what could be more excessive than this.

As the elders of the Zhang family, these people can only look at the insults of the people outside, but they can't even do one thing.

Now it is not the Zhang family who is in power, but an outsider, Zhang Yiyun said that he is the head of the Zhang family, but now he can't even take care of a small matter of the Zhang family.

Even if you want to appoint a steward in the family, you have to agree with Li Shen or Zhang Hai.

"Yiyun, this matter, you have to talk to the prince, let the rumors outside make trouble, this is at most a very unfavorable thing for our Zhang family."

Zhang Yiyun smiled bitterly: "Elders, I also want to discuss with the prince, but the prince has a lot of opportunities this day, and I don't have a chance to explain the current situation to him." ”

An elder patted the table and said, "Sure enough, it's not our Zhang family's own people, if it were our Zhang family's own people, now that this kind of thing has happened, we would have started to protect the interests of our Zhang family a long time ago." ”

"What's the use of saying this, it's still not a few of you, I don't know what kind of madness you smoked, and you acquiesced in this matter at the beginning!"

"That is to say, I said it at the beginning, as long as I am a member of our Zhang family, why don't you say it now?"

"Hey, what's the use of talking about this now, even if we say it, what can we do, it is His Majesty's personal decree, and the princes of our Zhang family will be personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor."

"Hmph, you old guys continue to be angry in the capital! The old man is going back. ”

"Zhang Hui, what are you trying to do? Return? Where to go. ”

"Where can I go back? Of course, it's to return to my Zhang family's fiefdom, otherwise, like you, you will be brought here to suffer this kind of wrongdoing? ”

"Zhang Hui, what do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean? Isn't it clear enough? I don't want to say more, I'm sorry Yihui, I'm going to my Zhang family's fiefdom to guard Yihui's tomb, I am ashamed of Yihui's trust. ”

"Zhang Hui!"

"Don't yell at me, according to your seniority, you still have to call me a thirteen elder."
