Five hundred and three, the fate of the abandoned son
A tall lone lamp illuminates the spacious and simple room: a circle of natural wooden shelves is full of bamboo sketches, a sword stand stands in front of the bookshelf, a long sword on the horizontal frame is already mottled with patina, and there is a purple-red lyre on the large desk in the center of the study room, and a woman described as haggard sits at the front of the piano.
The house is furnished like this not because the heroine has both humanities and martial arts, but because Wei Hou and often live here. Uzhna's big red dress spread out over her seat, and she played the lyre in her hand, and let out a long sigh from time to time.
"Why are you bothered?" A beautiful and sweet voice rang out in the quiet room.
Wu Rina's eyebrows furrowed: "Call me like this, it must be Sister Wu Kui."
"Concubine Hu understands, and I don't need to hide it."
"Did the leader or Mrs. Wei send you? I've become a prisoner and a dead fish, so why should I kill a killer?" Urina soothed the bamboo slips.
"Because of the death of her brother, Concubine Zhuan Hu was too sad and died of depression, which should be the best policy."
Uzhna stood up. The sword stand shook slightly. Under the light, her red dress was quite empty, although it was still charming, but the whole person looked shriveled and lifeless.
Her eyes were fixed on the sword frame, and she sighed and said, "It seems that my sister and brother have long been the outcasts of the Nanlin Society, it's just ridiculous, and we don't even know it. I don't understand, the leader of the society has always wanted to take the position of the public minister, and I am doing this to help him get his wish as soon as possible, why should he interfere with me?"
"Why?" Wu Kui's voice trembled slightly, "Your ambitions are too great. The leader of the society rescued you from Fanguo, returned the identity of Princess Guzhu to you, and sent you to the palace for long-term planning. The master wanted to be Zhou Xiang, but he never thought of summoning his life, after all, the fiefdom of the Zhao clan in Longxi, the Ju clan is the Guanzhong clan, how can he die at will? colluded with the East and burned the granary of Chaoge, causing the border army to fall into the siege of Zhurong...... One by one, the trouble you have caused is too big, and Nanlin Society can't afford it. What's more," she paused, "Kui Ziliang is my aunt and cousin."
"Auntie, cousin?" Urina was slightly startled, and then nodded, "No wonder, no wonder...... Well, although my brother and sister died, they finally got revenge on their father, and it was worth it."
Wu Kui's gaze was very complicated, with a little disgust and a little pity, she shook her head and sighed lightly: "You and I have a relationship, and now that you are about to die, I can't bear to let you be a fool. You've always regarded my cousin Duoyou as a murderer of my father, but in fact...... You hate the wrong person."
"What do you mean?" Uzhna unconsciously raised her voice.
"Back then, although your father Tidor was put on the throne of Lone Bamboo by his master, he refused to listen to the persuasion and insisted on assassinating my cousin to avenge the broken arm. And the master has his own plan, and he must not let my cousin die, and whoever wants to harm his affairs will have to die. So...... Your father is of his own infliction, and he shall not live."
"So, my father was killed by the social leader?" Uzhna's voice became hoarse and trembling.
Looking at Wu Kui's affirmative gaze, Urina suddenly burst into a shrill burst of wild laughter: "Hahaha...... So, my father, Manggu and I...... Our family is a chess piece in the hands of the social leader, if you can use it, you can use it, and if you don't do anything, you will give it up? Hahaha...... In vain, I regard you as a life-saving benefactor, but I didn't expect Nanlin Society to be my real enemy and enemy! I...... Hahaha...... It's ridiculous!"
Wu Kui's words were cold: "As a chess piece, the most important thing is to have usable value, not to get in the way of the master. Your father doesn't understand this truth, and you don't understand it, only your brother understands the way, but it's a pity that he was kidnapped by his sister and brother's affection and gave his life in vain."
"Brother......" Urina muttered with tears in her eyes, "Sister is sorry for you, it was really my sister who hurt you......
She wiped the tears from her face, resolutely walked to the front of the big case and sat down, and suddenly waved her arms, and the lyre suddenly tinkled up, and her slightly hoarse voice sang pathetic and agitated:
"Tao Tao Meng Xiaxi, the grass and trees are reckless, the sadness is forever peaceful, and the southern soil is bubbling. Turning white into black, upside down and down, the party members are jealous, and Qiang doesn't know what I'm doing.
The mighty river is divided, the road is quiet, and the road is far away. The world is not known,
The human heart is not terrible. Affectionate and unmatched.
The quality of the text is sparse and inward, and everyone does not know my brilliance, Bole is dead, and Ji will be peaceful. Life is fateful, and everyone has their own plans. Knowing death is not to be let go, and I wish not to love it. I will think that I will be like a gentleman......
Such a piano sound is a masterpiece in the middle of the night, accompanied by a heartbreak and a swan song waiting for death, which reverberates agitated and makes people heart-wrenching.
In the mournful singing, a slender black figure walked out from behind the sword frame. I saw the figure pushed away far behind Uzhina, her hands were massaged in the void, and a faint heat was born and rushed towards the lyre, and a very fine seven-colored light flashed out of the thick heat, which penetrated directly into the back of Uzhina's head.
Uzhna groaned in confusion, as if with a sweet dream, and then fell on the big case, and her black hair was suddenly sprinkled all over the lyre. I heard a loud bang, and the strings of the seven-stringed instrument were broken.
Wu Kui trembled and walked to the front of the case, bowing slightly: "Don't blame me, they are all other people's pawns, your mistake is that you can't recognize yourself." After saying that, it disappeared suddenly.
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Houhe, who was resting in the Weijiang Palace the day before, received an urgent report from the cold palace order: the abandoned concubine Wu Rina died last night.
The corners of Wei He's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. Or the wife Wei Jiang on the side asked, "What is the cause of death?"
The palace doctor who came with him bowed his head and said, "The face is as calm as a baby, but it should be depressed for many days, and he dies of exhaustion."
Wei He breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and after repelling everyone, he glanced at Wei Jiang and said coldly, "Your movements are quite fast!"
Wei Jiang's gaze did not back down: "The concubine is for the king's plan, for the defense of the country, all the dignity of an abandoned concubine, and also the dignity of the king."
"Well, that's all there is to it."
Wei He really had nothing to say. A woman like Urina is beautiful, but she doesn't know the general situation, and she insists on going her own way without a deep strategy. If you say who is more suitable for the position of the *** of the country, there is no doubt that the princess of Qi next to her, Mrs. Jiang, is more suitable.
Wu Rina's matter is over, it's time to think about how to lay out the long-term strategy in the future, and the most important thing at the moment is naturally how to explain to the king of Zhou about the annihilation of the border army. After some thought, he asked his wife for advice: "The widow has written to the Son of Heaven to give a detailed account of the changes in the granary of the country. Do you think the Son of Heaven will condemn the widow in this matter?"
"The king wants to write on his own, but he can't do it openly, and he should use a secret book to directly teach the emperor in front of the Son of Heaven's case. Otherwise, once it is made public, there will be no room for the matter to turn around, and even if the Son of Heaven has the heart to protect it, he will be difficult to ride the tiger."
Wei He understood: "What Madame said is very true. It's just that...... After all, the widow is responsible for this matter, and I am afraid that it will ...... in the future," he did not finish.
Wei Jiang understood this extraneous voice, and said with a light smile: "I will send you eight words, be honest and honest, and redeem the merits."
"What do you mean by those eight words?" Wei He was thoughtful.
Needless to say, this "frank and honest statement" is nothing more than a frank and honest statement of the matter, whether it is to Zhao Gong or the Son of Heaven, the only thing that matters is the word "sincerity". As for whether this will be a crime...... Wei Jiang Qingli's face was full of smiles: "The great monarch has always been the first. With the great feat of enriching the country and strengthening the army, the king's iron heart has a place to stay. Otherwise, what Qianfu refers to and everyone who is full of money can only be a tyrannical monarch who is despised by individuals. So it is with the king, and so it is with the king."
Wei He finally let go of his frowning brows: "Madam is saying that you want a widow to help the king achieve immortal deeds?"
"Exactly. What is the most important concern on the king's mind right now?"
Wei He did not hesitate: "It is a matter of destroying Hubei."
"That's right. Now that the border army has been destroyed, the king has to reactivate the sin general Yu Zhong to retake charge of the West Sixth Division, but what about the Eighth Division of Chengzhou? Looking at the entire Central Plains, apart from the monarch and our defense of the country, which one can the king rely on to take charge of the Eight Divisions of Chengzhou?"
"The widow understands, all people are good at scheming, and the lady is not much better than the man." Wei He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Uzhina's funeral was mourned according to the ordinary palace concubine. And Wei Jiang immediately made a decision, changed the mortuary from three days to one day, and hastily buried him in the coffin. The reason why this is so is because it is early autumn, the summer heat has not dissipated, and even if there is a big ice to calm down, the corpse coffin can stay for a few days
? The second is because of the sins committed by Uzhna, it is not easy to bury her as usual.
In fact, in the funeral process, the "mortuary for three days" is the key, whether in the people or the court, the compression of the mortuary date often attracts criticism. The reason for this is that the "three days of mortuary" comes from the ancient prayer for resurrection.
The ancients believed that after death, the soul is still wandering, and the mourning and crying of filial relatives can often make the dead resurrect. In fact, there have been stories of resurrection from the dead. As a result, the three-day mortuary prayer for the resurrection of the deceased has changed from a prayer to a funeral rite that must be observed.
The Book of Rites. "Asking for Funeral" explains this reason in detail: "Those who die for three days and then retreat, what is it? Said: The filial son died, sad and sad, so he crawled and cried, if he will be resurrected, Anke can be taken away and collected? Therefore, it is said: Those who collect after three days will survive in order to survive! Three days without birth, and without birth, the heart of filial piety is also declining. The plan of the family, the clothes and utensils, can also be done. Relatives who are far away can also be reached. Therefore, the saints decided for it, and the three-day ritual system was also adopted."
Now Wei Jiang has greatly reduced the mortuary of Wu Rina from three days to one day, which is precisely the intention of deliberately belittling the deceased. If something happens in the future, she will also have her own words, and this practice has also been approved by Wei Houhe.
Although the morgue link has been greatly reduced, the rest of the procedure has been meticulous.
