February 25, the sixth year of Dashang, before Qingming.

Lu Yangge moved the ancestral tomb for the Lu family, and a row of tombs on Xiaoyun Mountain has been dug up, and the tombs are built into tombs with the unique Daqing Mountains on the mountain.

The father is above, the son is in the arms, the husband and wife are in the same hole, and the children and grandchildren are around the knees.

Zhou Yang stood on the slope of Dayun Mountain, looking at the woman in plain clothes in the crowd, careless and vigilant.

The brothers and sisters of the Lu family are really bold!

Not only did they seize the throne, but they also buried this imperial mausoleum in their Lu family, so that even if future generations worshipped, they only worshiped the ancestors of their own family, rather than kneeling on the ancestral graves of other people's families.

Even if I don't know if Lu Hebei will have the courage to change his surname to Lu one day for his children and grandchildren?

"General Zhou, did you order you to rest today?" The official in charge of the ritual department is surnamed Zou, who is the jinshi and the twelfth in the second year of the Great Shang, and is a very intelligent but somewhat stubborn and inflexible person.

Zhou Yang bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

Lord Zou couldn't help but ask: "General Zhou, the construction of the imperial mausoleum this time has been rushed, and the work has not been stopped since last year, and even the New Year has only lasted for three days. Now that it's not raining or snowing, why stop work and rest for a day? ”

Zhou Yang glanced at him lightly: "Do you know that the Lu family moved the grave today?" ”

Lord Zou was stunned, he was not blind, how could he not see such a big movement under the mountainside, not to mention that the Lu family and the emperor are in-laws, and the Lu family also has a Huaiping county lord who is very popular with the queen mother.

Don't?

Lord Zou glanced at Zhou Yang in disbelief, the young general, dressed in regular clothes, made him extremely handsome, not like a general who can fight, but like a son of a handsome family who came out for an outing.

I heard that General Zhou has not yet married, this General Zhou will not want to marry the lord of Huaiping, right?

This man!

It is no wonder that so many families in the previous dynasty broke their branches and leaves in the change of dynasty, and some even uprooted, only the Zhou family was like a big tree thriving and standing.

General Zhou actually fell in love with the county lord of Huaiping, there was only one newborn princess in the palace, and the only daughter of the Shen family married into the Zhenguo Mansion. If you want to have a relationship with the royal family, you can only start from the county lord of Huaiping.

Thinking about this reason, Lord Zou became more and more dissatisfied in his heart.

You can curry favor with the Lord of Huaiping, but you can't stop the construction of the Imperial Tomb by such a big thing.

The emperor is still waiting to enter the imperial mausoleum, if the imperial mausoleum is not built well by then, the emperor will blame it, and he is afraid that his head will not be guaranteed.

Lord Zou's face was slightly gloomy when he thought of this, and he said: "General Zhou, even if the Lu family moves the ancestral tomb, it is also the Lu family's business, and it will not hinder the construction of the imperial mausoleum." You ordered the work to be stopped and rested so casually, if the progress of the construction of the imperial tomb is delayed, who will bear the responsibility at that time? ”

"I'll take it."

Zhou Yang asked softly, "Lord Zou, if the construction of the imperial mausoleum is delayed, I will take care of this matter, are you satisfied?" ”

"You...... Unreasonable. ”

Lord Zou threw his sleeves and left, but did not find that the entire imperial tomb was empty, those soldiers and laborers were on vacation and resting, and the people who arranged the guards were all officers and soldiers who had just been transferred from the capital a few days ago.

And these people, who do not obey the orders of the Ministry of Rites or Zhou Yang, their commander is a man named Thundering.

Lu Yangge stood aside, looking at the young men in the clan, and first invited the ancestors before his great-grandfather to come out, most of the coffins were old and decayed, so they were replaced with new coffins. Eight people carried the coffin, there were soul-attracting lamps and soul-attracting flags in front, and the descendants of the Lu family wearing linen and filial piety were escorted behind.

As soon as the coffin was carried from Dayun Mountain to Xiaoyun Mountain, it was only half an hour's distance back and forth, and when it came to Lu Yangge's grandfather's grave, almost all the people of the Lu family around him had followed him to Xiaoyun Mountain, and there were few people left.

Lu Yuanping went to Lu Yangge's grandparents' coffin to ask for it, and then stepped forward and whispered: "Biaoge, I will escort your grandparents' coffin to Xiaoyun Mountain, and your parents' brother's coffin will be escorted by you and this group of officials from Beijing." ”

In fact, the Lu family is not empty, but the Lu family has moved the grave this time, and the women, girls, children, and older people are busy cooking and setting up banquets in the ancestral hall, and the person who carries the coffin to attract the soul and send the spirit, Lu Yangge requires that it must be the clan and the clansmen within the five suits of her family.

Although the Lu family said that the family is not small, there may not be many people who are in the same five suits as Lu Yuanshan.

In the end, the people were gathered, and Lu Yangge also asked them to bathe and clean themselves the day before, change into the new shoes, socks, robes and clothes prepared by the Lu family, and eat morning tea before going up the mountain together.

This morning tea is not an ordinary morning tea, eight bowls and eight dishes of hot soup and dim sum, in addition to not drinking, it is better than eating at the table on weekdays.

Now, the Lu family is only left with Lu Yangge and her uncle's cousin waiting here, and Lu Yuanping is both uneasy and strange.

Why did Lu Yuanshan and his wife not have a single Lu family?

It's just that these doubts follow the trivial things one after another, so that he is too busy to take care of himself and no longer think about it.

It wasn't until Lu Yangge carried the soul-attracting lamp, Lord Shen held the soul-attracting flag, and dozens of carefully selected sturdy officers and soldiers carried the four black-lacquered coffins to Xiaoyun Mountain, that Lu Yuanping's heart settled down a little.

It turned out that Lu Yangge didn't let the Lu family carry the coffin to escort him, because he didn't like the Lu family enough to see it.

Compared with these officers and soldiers who are almost the same in height and appearance, even if the Lu family wears new clothes and new shoes, they are unevenly tall, short, fat and thin, and they really look very stretched at a glance.

It's no wonder that the county lord of Huaiping can't look down on it now.

After the coffins of Lu Yuanshan and his wife and two sons were safe, Lu Yuanping cautiously walked up to Lu Yangge and asked, "Yangge, did Your Majesty say that you will give your father and mother a reward or something?" ”

When the emperor was alive, he always said that he wanted to give Lu Yuanshan a reward, but there was no movement for several years.

Now that he has ascended the throne as emperor, it is Chen Quan's son and the nephew of the third brother Lu Yuanshan's daughter-in-law, this reward should come down, right?

Lu Yangge's throat stalked, and his face showed a little dazed: "Uncle Patriarch, my uncle did mention this before. It's just that it's the mourning period, and I guess my cousin hasn't been busy yet, right? ”

Not busy?

Lu Yuanping was a little dissatisfied in his heart, what the hell is going on with this Chen family's father and son.

Knowing that the Lu family moved the grave, can't he let the reward come with him?

In this way, the grave of the Yuanshan couple does not know that it is so simple and shabby. As a couple of distant mountains, at least they have to be marquis, how does the identity of the Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou compare with the identity of the rich man in the countryside?

Originally, he was glad that it was the nephew of the Shen family who ascended the throne as the emperor, but now he was very disappointed in his heart.

Thinking of the ruthlessness of the Chen family's father and son, Lu Yuanping felt more and more sorry for Lu Yangge's child.

The little girl carved jade when she was a child, and she was the little princess of Brother Yuanshan and even the entire Lu family, but now she has suffered an unjustified disaster because of Chen Quan's bandits.

This father and son are not kind at all, and they don't even have a reward.
