On the mansion of the Duke of Wei, it was covered with pale decorations, and there was a cry inside. A table is placed in front of the mourning hall, white table clothes are hung, and offerings, incense burners, wax tables and lanterns are placed on the table.

Before the burial, this lantern must be guarded day and night, and it cannot be extinguished. It is said that this lamp is the soul of the deceased. The corpse and coffin are taboo to be parked in broad daylight, for fear of being subjected to the "sun crystal moon", and even more afraid of offending the gods of the heavens.

"Lord Qi came to offer condolences and gave a piece of cloth!"

"Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu envoy Lu Chaoyang and Lord Lu came to condolence and gave a piece of cloth!"

There were three people walking on the mourning hall, in the center was Zhu Gaoxian wearing a python pattern, on the left was Lu Chaoyang, and on the right was wearing a mourning dress and a cloak.

In front of the mourning hall kneeling a woman in mourning clothes, not very old, only in her early twenties, just the age of flowers, but suddenly came bad news and became a little widow.

This woman is Xu Qin's wife He Miaolian, crying pear blossoms with rain, and when she saw Queen Qi, she got up and saluted: "He family, I have seen the prince." ”

Zhu Gaoxian arched his hand: "Cousin-in-law's Day mourning, alas, pity my cousin Xu Qin, who would have thought that a good person would suddenly die young, this king almost fainted after hearing the news, and felt deeply sad in his heart, alas, I came here today to give my cousin incense to pay tribute to the dead." ”

He Miaolian just stopped her tears, and her eyes turned red again: "The prince is deeply affectionate and righteous, and the concubine family has thanked the prince for my poor husband." ”

Hearing this, the man in the cloak next to Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"My cousin died suddenly, and the king was full of emotion in his heart, and he had countless words to say to his cousin. I don't know if my cousin can move, I have something I want to say to my cousin alone, although this king knows, this is a little weak, but ......"

Zhu Gaoxian said, "Please, cousin-in-law." ”

He Miaolian hesitated, but when she thought of the identity of the person in front of her and how she had offended, she had no choice but to agree: "Then the concubine family will not disturb the prince." ”

After that, the little cousin-in-law left with the mourning people in the mourning hall, and only Zhu Gaoxian, Lu Chaoyang, and the man in front of the mourning hall were left.

After everyone left, the man finally couldn't help it, ripped off his head with one hand, and asked, "What the does this mean, when did I die?!" ”

After taking off the cloak, he revealed his true face that would make everyone frightened.

- Xu Qin, Duke of Wei.

Xu Qin condolences to Wei Guogong?

Do I cry for myself?

What is this called?

How did I not know I was dead?

Is this reasonable!!

The more Xu Qin thought about it, the more angry he became, and stepped forward and kicked on the coffin, the coffin tilted slightly, and the coffin board slipped down.

The things in the coffin are quite complete, there are soothing silks, a few feasts, inscription flags and other things, symbolizing the specifications of the national princess, but there is one thing that is not quite right.

- The deceased was not in the coffin.

Also, Xu Qin himself is still alive and kicking here, how can he lie in the coffin!

"Don't worry, cousin, although you are still alive, in the eyes of everyone, you are dead." Zhu Gaoxian pointed to the coffin with a smile and said, "Even my cousin-in-law thought you were lying in this coffin." ”

Xu Qin frowned and said, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, what do you mean that I am already dead in the eyes of everyone?" So what am I now, am I a ghost? ”

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile: "Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, encountered mountain bandits on the way to Beijing after leaving the city, unfortunately died, was cut into pulp by a knife, and died a miserable death. Later, Jinyiwei traced the traces of Wei Guogong, exterminated the mountain bandits, recaptured your remnants, collected and sorted them in a coffin, and sent them to the Wei Guogong Mansion by Jinyiwei himself. ”

A big question mark appeared on Xu Qin's head, but he quickly reacted to the deep meaning behind what Zhu Gaoxian said.

He followed Zhu Zhanji to rebel, how could he die well?

Do you really think that Zhu Di is a living bodhisattva of great compassion?

"In this way, it can be regarded as suppressing the mutiny of Zhu Zhanji, a kid, and everyone is happy." Zhu Gaoxian said, "Speaking of which, cousin, you should still be grateful to me, giving you such a decent way to die can be regarded as not dishonoring the reputation of the King of Zhongshan, and clearing your notoriety as a thief, cousin doesn't need to thank me, we are all a family, it should be, if you really want to thank me, you can do a favor and die, won't everyone save trouble." ”

Xu Qin gritted his teeth: "I really thank you!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian said calmly: "Xu Qin, this king has already given you enough face, if it weren't for your father Xu Huizu being my mother's younger brother, this king would kill you like a dog, why spend so much effort." If you are executed as a thief, it will be difficult for Your Majesty Longen to let the title of Duke of Wei continue to be hereditary. King Zhongshan I is famous, and he is the maternal grandfather of this king, and this king doesn't want him to replace the hereditary title of Duke of Wei with his lifelong military exploits, and destroy it in the hands of such a thief, so he gave you a dignified resignation. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaoxian paused, "Xu Qin, if you are interested, then be obedient and die, it's not a big deal, after you die, your son will inherit the title of Duke of Wei, isn't it beautiful?" ”

This is not only Zhu Gaoxian's idea, but also Zhu Di's idea.

Zhu Di was born as a general, and he admired Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and in his early years, he was able to dominate the frontier and control the old department of meritorious service, and he also had Xu Da, the old father-in-law, to help him in secret.

Now that the King of Zhongshan is gone, the title of Duke of Wei is still there, but Xu Qin has ruined all this.

He followed Zhu Zhanji as a rebel, Zhu Di didn't want his grandson's rebellion to spread, and when the time came, later generations said that there was a rebel grandfather and a rebel grandson, and the family was a rebel, and it was really a virtue in his bones.

So, this matter has to be suppressed.

It's okay to press it down, someone has to die, in order to maintain the majesty of the imperial power. After all, although few people know about this, it's not that no one knows, and a person slaughtered it, killing chickens and monkeys!

And for the candidate for this place, Xu Qin was fortunate to compete.

He is the most suitable "chicken" to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

As long as Xu Qin dies, everyone is happy, maybe Xu Qin is not very happy, but it doesn't matter.

"That's a good thing, it's a good thing." Xu Qin sneered, "My life has long been calculated by your Zhu family, you really know how to play." ”

Zhu Gaoxian raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, cousin, are you unwilling to commit suicide?" ”

Xu Qin really wanted to drag King Qi to die together, but after thinking about it, he had only one way to commit suicide.

The inheritance left by the King of Zhongshan cannot be destroyed in his hands, if the title of Duke of Wei is gone, he will not be able to see his ancestors when he dies.

Besides, there is one most critical problem: he can't beat King Qi!

King Qi's bravery is famous, and the fact that 800 horsemen chasing tens of thousands of iron horsemen in Vara in Hulan can still make Mobei children stop crying, which is enough to prove how fierce King Qi killed on the battlefield.

For a while, Xu Qin's heart was filled with sadness.

His fate has been manipulated by the Zhu family with an invisible thin line, and every move must be instructed by others.

Even death is no exception.

What made him feel even more powerless was that as King Qi said, suicide was his best choice at the moment.

Xu Qin closed his eyes, used all his strength, and said, "Wei Guogong's lineage can't be broken with me." ”

"I'm dead!"
