The three brothers of Hongshi, Hongli and Hongday, transported Yunxiang's body back to Prince Yi's mansion in the north of Pichai Hutong that night. At this time, the wind and snow filled the capital, and there were only more than 100 family members in Yunxiang's mansion, while arranging the mourning hall, designing the place for the funeral shed to feast guests, and removing the auspiciousness in the house, while notifying relatives and friends who were usually good. Yunxiang did not have Zhengfu Jin, and the two side Fu Jinning clan and Cha clan had never gone through anything, and they could not be on the stage. Hongxiao only cried so much that she couldn't do anything. Li Wei came later. Although he was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had a lot of friends in the household department, so he called his entourage Goshha over and ordered: "You all go out and call people." These people are old and have funerals, so they say my words: I don't care if his house is on fire and smoking, the house collapses, and if he says a resignation, he is disgusted with the snow, and his friendship with me will be broken. As he spoke, he took out a handful of cut slips of paper, and gave them their names and addresses written on them. He himself was not afraid of hard work, and called a few housekeepers of Yunxiang, who first ordered the door god, changed the red lights and red candles to plain colors, removed the fire in the main house and then placed the spiritual bed, lit the lantern, and set up the spiritual shed under the west eaves of the main house and the hot water room. He also instructed the housekeeper, "Just move your white paper, white curtains, and white rulers to the east chamber, and ask them to do it when the helpers come—you are so blind that the people who hang the sacrifice in the morning can't even prepare a filial piety hat." While speaking, the snow fluttered on his face, and he walked to the eaves of the main house and kowtowed to the Hongshi brothers and Hongxiao, and said, "Three masters, four masters, five masters, seven masters!" Please kowtow in front of the spirit of the thirteenth master, and ask the seventh master to accompany the three distinguished guests to guard in the spirit shed, and the slaves outside will handle it for you. Your housekeeper here has nothing to do, as for the imperial sacrifice and the court funeral, it is another set, and there are dishes for Prince Cheng. There is also the Ministry of Rites, which is not allowed even by the half-point pool. ”

"Okay, we listen to you," Hongxiao pulled Hongxiao, who was crying and mourning, and the four of them followed Li Wei to the entrance of the hall and knelt down on the grass in front of the ever-bright lamp. Li Wei shouted, "Mourn!" The interface cried loudly. The four brothers knelt on the grass and were all stunned, and hurriedly kowtowed to cry. Hongxiao had just cried; Hongshi was confused, still ignorant of tonight's events; Hongli saw that people were messy, and he couldn't cry; Only Hongday, tears and snot are ready-made, throw a handful of blows, have words in your mouth, and cry like singing. Li Weiluo cried for a while, got up from grief, and said, "Gentlemen, please get up and sit in the mourning shed." Small things are dealt with outside, and big things come in and ask for instructions. ”

The four of them entered the airtight spiritual shed surrounded by linoleum grass, and they had to admire Li Wei's ability to do things. Half of the north side of the tea room has been opened, four straw straw is spread on the hot earth dragon, each straw is put in front of a low table, in addition to the four treasures of the study, there are a few plates of delicate palace points, although the mouth is open to the side of the mourning hall, but the charcoal fire with a high mallet is born under the shed, and even the wind blowing into the shed is warm. Across the fire wall to the south is the tea room, the water vapor in the tea hanger is ringing along the wall, it seems to be both clean and not dry, just sit down, a housekeeper has wrung a hot towel and handed a piece of face to wipe. Putting down the towel, a bowl of hot oil tea was brought up again. Hongtian took a sip of tea and couldn't help but praise: "Good! Treat yourself with all your courtesy. With a copper pot and an iron brush, Li Wei is unambiguous. Li Wei looked at the people who were busy outside in the lights and shadows and the snow screen, and somehow looked a little melancholy and coughed a few times, and said, "I am a minister, and I am the emperor's domestic slave." The thirteenth master is like a mountain of kindness to me when he lives to treat me, this is the time to make me, and I should contribute to the young masters. It's a pity that my body can't be a ......," he said, tears burst out of his eyes, and when he saw his butler come in, he asked, "Have you all arrived?" ”

"It's almost, everyone who took the strip is here." The housekeeper's face was so cold that he wiped his snot and said, "Only five or six are not at home, and they said that they went to Prince Cheng's mansion to enjoy the night moon and eat wine, but they didn't come back." The next person went to Prince Cheng's mansion, and saw that it was lively, and the prince was also there, so he didn't dare to go in and call someone. ”

The four brothers couldn't help but be stunned, Yunzhi was ordered to preside over Yunxiang's funeral, they were all there when the holy decree was issued, how dare he go back to the house to eat wine and enjoy the snow! Besides, Yun Xiang's mourning has just changed, and he, who is an elder brother, is too forbearing. A trace of unhappiness flashed across Li Wei's face, his eyebrows were raised, but he said, "How many count." Some of the officials who came were doing errands in the house, and the officials were doing errands outside, saying that Li Wei asked them, so they were busy this night, and Ming'er Sheng came to sacrifice, and I paid everyone when the matter was over. Hongli saw a large group of people coming in from the open shed, kneeling in front of Yun Xiangling and kowtowing, all covered in snow, and said: "Li Wei, you don't have to wait here, get a few scriptures, and our brothers will copy them while guarding the spirit." You should also meet these people - the two thousand taels of silver tickets have been taken, and some officials who have no shortage of shares have come to subsidize them a little. Li Wei didn't shirk it, took the silver ticket and thanked the reward, and went out with a thousand words.

The four brothers also stopped talking, and at one time a long man sent in a few copies of the Diamond Sutra, and each copied the scriptures, until the second half of the night, when one person already had more than a dozen pieces of paper, and they all lay down on the grass and fell asleep with tired clothes, and there was no need to elaborate.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the four were awakened by the sound of firecrackers. When he sat up and was stunned, Li Wei coughed and hurriedly came in, and said: "Please get up, you Mingtang of the Ministry of Rites, they are here, and they have to greet them." ”

The four of them were busy coming out, Hongli looked at his watch, and before the hour came, the goose flakes of snow fell one after another, but the wind had stopped. The snow reflected that the courtyard was full of people, persisting in pushing snowboards with brooms and sweeping, and six pairs of boys and girls with high eaves were piled up along the wing room. A group of drummers sat under the shed on the north side of the gable of the east chamber, also with a mallet fire, and there were wine, dishes and refreshments on the table. ”

Suddenly, the drumming played in unison, the crackling firecrackers collapsed under the eaves of the main house, and in the music, Li Wei hurried over and held Hongxiao with both hands, and said to Hongshi and the three people: "The master just waits in front of the thirteen masters to receive the brand...... and Hongwan, Hongxiao, Hongsheng, Hongjing, a group of brothers from the close branch of the family came out together. At this time, several firecrackers were hung at the gate at the same time, and from the mourning shed, six pairs of tall snowmen stood hundreds of family members and petty officials invited by Li Wei to help the funeral, all of them were wearing linen and filial piety, holding the funeral stick. There is snow falling in the sky, snow falling on the house, white curtains and white buildings all over the main house, and paper flower spirit flags are hung under the eaves of the main house. Li Wei was busy all night, turning Prince Yi's Mansion into a world that was so white that it couldn't be seen. The three brothers were thinking to themselves, the sound of drums outside was approaching, the four eunuchs carried a dragon pavilion niche, and Prince Zhuang Yunlu, Zhang Tingyu, Ortai, and Fang Bao all wore white cloth on their heads, and tied hemp belts around their waists and followed into the main courtyard. You Mingtang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked in front of the front with the Ehao sacrifice in both hands, until he stood still under the stone steps in front of the eaves. Hongli saw Hongshi Hongday standing in a daze, quietly tugging at their clothes, and the three of them knelt on the straw mat. When Hongtian peeked at the tablet, he saw that it was written:

Loyalty, sincerity, honesty, diligence, prudence, honesty, and virtuousness, the late Prince Yi, the thirteenth god king

It seems that Yongzheng is re-writing in the early morning, and he is very energetic. You Mingtang stood straight in front of Yun Xiang's bed, watched Hongxiao and Yun Lu and others invite the tablet of the god to be placed, bowed to Yun Xiang's body, walked to Yun Lu and said, "Sixteen masters, you know that my relationship with the thirteenth master is unusual. Please hold this edict for a while, let me be presumptuous, and kowtow to the thirteenth master first. My heart is like a knife, and it is difficult to stand still. ”

"I know." Yunlu took the edict, "You should do the same." Just don't cry, as soon as you start crying, Fang Bao, Hengchen, Ortai, they can't help it, I can't listen to it......" said and wiped away tears.

You Mingtang bowed down to the Changming lamp, picked up the clear oil and poured a little, the tears were already rolling out, he bowed down, his whole body was trembling violently, both hands and claws were grasping in the wet brick cracks and digging desperately, but he didn't dare to make a sound. Hongli hurriedly said to Hongxiao: "Quickly help up Lord You, go to our shed, and simply tell him to make a sound, so that Old You will hurt his body." ”…… Hongxiao hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up, and staggered to the mourning shed, that You Mingtang was an old official of the Ministry of Rites, and he never dared to make a sound, and only listened to his intermittent and suppressed crying outside. Only this makes people feel even more distressed. Li Wei saw that Fang Bao was about to hide his face and make a sound, so he hurriedly said loudly: "Raise music!" ”

Immediately, the music burst out, which immediately buffered the sad and dreary atmosphere in the mourning hall. Yunlu walked up to the three of Hongshi and said, "Licheng, get up, the underground is too humid." And said: "The third child is doing well, everything is ready, and the colored coffin is almost here, right?" The Dhara Sutra was brought by the emperor himself for a while. Hongli Hongshi didn't say anything, but Hongtian said: "The third uncle didn't even come to the house overnight, I'm afraid that the wine hasn't woken up yet!" Everything here is handled by Li Wei, and there are not enough people, so Li Wei put it together overnight. If you lose it, you are still a brother, if you are a foreign minister, you don't know what to do! ”

"He didn't come all night!" Yunlu was shocked and then furious, "He said that he would come over to take care of it, and asked us to just discuss it at Hengchen's place, and not to get down to business here." Could it be that he will be sick when he returns home, or he will fall to his death on a horse?! Hongtian grinned when he heard this, like crying and laughing, and said: "Tell Uncle Sixteen a word, the third uncle must have eaten too much wine." Yesterday was the birthday of his four side Fujin, not yet thirty years old, like a little girl, and clever enough to write poems and fill in the lyrics-" He swallowed, "The sky is falling, and he refuses to sweep her happiness!" As he was talking, he saw Yunzhi leading people to carry the colored coffin, and a small cart entered the second gate with grass, so Hongtian stopped. Yunlu only pretended not to see it, and as soon as he turned around, he went into the spirit shed to persuade You Mingtang.

Yunzhi was indeed drunk last night. He originally said that he would leave as soon as he returned home, and a few new songs composed by Fujin on the four sides were to be performed, and he insisted that he polish them. He had just come back from the garden, and it was not good to say Yunxiang's bad news at the birthday feast, the snow in the sky was falling tightly, and he couldn't think of any excuses. At this moment, seeing that everyone had been arranged neatly and stopped, Yun Zhi couldn't help but feel ashamed, and was busy in front of Yun Xiangling, praying a few words silently, commanding everyone to set up a coffin in front of the plaque, personally holding the grass and laying five layers carefully, and ordering thirty-six people to carry the heavy painted Nanmu coffin and put it on steadily. He was not afraid of getting dirty, so he stepped forward and personally removed the tarpaulin with snow on the coffin, and walked out of the main hall with both hands. At this moment, Yongzheng took Zhu Shi in the snow and came in from the second gate, Gao Wuyong walked forward quickly, and said in a loud voice:

"The Holy One has arrived!"

In an instant, the two compartments of the corridor Dan Majesty's music masterpiece. Zhang Tingyu brought the Changyin Pavilion to worship the drums and bells to strike together, the flute and the sheng flute played together, and the mourning music was long and sad in the heavy snow, which was very different from the vulgar tune advocated by the Fang Cai Ling Shed. Yongzheng glanced at Yunzhi with satisfaction, walked to Yunxiang's bed slowly, refilled the oil for the ever-bright lamp, bowed three times with incense, inserted the incense with his own hands, and stepped aside. You Mingtang strode forward to unfold the memorial text, and read it aloud with a sigh of relief. At this time, hundreds of people in the courtyard, except for Yongzheng, all knelt on the ground. But the sacrificial text was written by Zhang Zhao, the son of the country, a famous talent, purely using the four ancient sentences of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the writing was wonderful, but it was a pity that it was difficult for people to understand when reading. Yongzheng listened very solemnly, and when it was over, You Mingtang was already in tears, and read in his voice:

…… The king is also his spirit, and he only knows his heart. From here, people are incompatible. Although the body is contradictory, the heart is still the same. Shu Hui Fangzhi, its fragrance is not extinguished...... Woohoo lamentation, this Chenhuai, Wang Qishang feasts, and the beans are long......

At this point, Yongzheng was already in tears. Yunzhi was presided over by order, and when he saw You Mingtang read the sacrificial text, Fang woke up from his panic, but he didn't see Yunlu hand over the ritual list, pulling Yunlu's clothes, but Yunlu didn't say anything. He shouted in a hurry: "Mourn! Unexpectedly, Yunlu also shouted: "Point the god master!" ”

The two of them issued a guard of honor order together, but they were different, which immediately caused a whisper in the courtyard. Yongzheng blushed suddenly, but it was inconvenient to attack at the moment, seeing Hongxiao holding the tablet, he took the red pen from Gao Wuyong's hand, and clicked a little on the word "God King". Yun Zhi was afraid of shouting wrong again, and when he looked at Yun Lu, Yun Lu was silent, and he froze for a while. However, You Mingtang saw the opportunity quickly, and he was already crying bitterly. Hongxiao threw himself on the bed and cried loudly with a "wow", Zhang Tingyu took the opportunity to say "mourn", and the people in the courtyard immediately let out a cry of sorrow, and the impasse of Fang Cai was covered up in a so-so manner. Yongzheng glared at Yunzhi and Yunlu fiercely, sighed helplessly, and cried with the crowd, but in any case, the pathos had been reduced.

Then it is time to put it in the coffin. However, the lid of the coffin could not be opened, and several eunuchs were tired and sweating, and later found that two nails had been nailed to the top at some point, so they pulled out the nails and dingdong for a long time before Yun Xiang's burial was completed. Yongzheng was so angry that his hands were trembling, and he put a bed of Dhara Sutra on Yunxiang's body, so far although the music was still echoing, people were crying so much that they lost their spirits. It's just that Hongxiao is already crying softly on the ground, holding his hands on the side of the coffin and grabbing the sky, and no one is allowed to cover the coffin.

A few things passed safely, and Yunzhi had calmed down a little. The younger brother lying in the coffin was very peaceful with him, neither heartfelt nor estranged, but somehow he could not grieve anyway. Watching Hongxiao pounce on the coffin, the hand with the big wrench made the coffin click, and he suddenly thought of Li Hansan's "hemorrhoids" joke, and laughed out loud! This time, even Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but be angry, knelt beside the coffin, supported Hongxiao, who was crying faintly, with one hand, stared at Yunzhi viciously, and said: "Prince Cheng, if you have the heart to stir up, it is better to go back to the house!" ”

"The third brother is too disagreeable!" Yunlu's face turned blue with anger, "You are so unhumane, I'll stand away from you!" ”

Yunzhi only realized at this time that he had committed public anger, and his face suddenly turned like earth, took a step back, and said, "What's wrong with me!" Who did I provoke! ”

"You provoked the spirit of the thirteenth brother in the sky!" Yongzheng turned his head, the green tendons on his forehead burst and Huo Huo jumped straight, and roared in a low voice, "Others cry, you laugh!" I hear you! Do you get dizzy like this without sleeping all night? ”

At this point, it was already happy to stop crying, and the mourning hall was so quiet that only the snow rustled when it was heard, and everyone was stunned. Yunzhi knelt down with a thud, and said, "Thirteenth brother, you are a witness...... You know my heart......" "Don't be pretending. Yunlu glanced at him with disdain: "I don't know that the third brother accompanied his little wife for her birthday last night, and he didn't bother to come over at all." You will probably not be able to escape the words 'disobeying the will and deceiving the king'! ”

"There's such a thing!" Yongzheng was already so angry that he couldn't return to his place, and he was angered by Yunlu's left and right sentences, and roared: "You don't have me as the emperor in your eyes, and I don't look down on you as a courtier." You don't have Yunxiang as a younger brother in your eyes, and Yunxiang may not be rare with you! You've probably figured it out, I've already disposed of Aqina, Seth Hei, Yun and Yun, and I don't dare to take care of you anymore? You are wrong, our royal family is like a tree, even if it is a golden branch and jade leaf, if there is a crazy branch and a diseased branch, I will cut one. ”

"That's it!" Yunzhi was shocked, but he was heartbroken, grasped the fault of Yongzheng's last sentence, and immediately ridiculed him: "The emperor's temperament I have seen since I was a child, when you were a child, you played Dutch rat fights, the defeated were bitten to death, and the victorious ones were killed again." As long as he is targeted by the emperor, it is not pleasing to the eye, and it is not pleasing to the eye. After all, you have to beat the horse and trample it to your feet, so that you can be angry! Yongzheng Zi's face rose, staring at Yunzhi with extremely contemptuous eyes, his voice softened, as cloudy and cold as the weather outside: "Okay...... You even keep an account of the fact that I stepped on ants when I was a child! How familiar is this word, and it seems to be the same as Zeng Jing? Are you a gentleman? Back then, the eldest brother and the second brother of Wei Zhen, why did you lend him the evil book? Arkinaseith is making trouble with the Eight Kings of Politics, what kind of character are you? Your son Hongsheng runs to Aqina every day, and he discusses something unseemly? I've been tolerating you for years, and you don't know the word 'gratitude'! Hurry up and go back to your house, there will naturally be people in the court who will discuss your guilt, don't let the people here disgust you! ”

Yunzhi looked at the face that had no room for accommodation, and the corners of his mouth collapsed proudly, and no one could hear what he said. He symbolically "kowtowed" twice with his head, got up and didn't look back.

"Hypocrite!" Yongzheng looked at his back and said hatefully: looked at Yunxiang's coffin again, and said, "I will cure his sins and give the thirteenth brother anger!" ”

Three days in a row left the dynasty for Yunxiang's funeral, and passed in a tense and uneasy atmosphere. The snow in the sky has not stopped, it is still falling intermittently, but the momentum is not so fierce anymore. Under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, the courtiers entered Prince Yi's mansion in an orderly manner to mourn, and dragged out with heavy steps. In the minds of ordinary people, Yongzheng has an impatient and violent personality, and he can't tolerate people because he is mean and jealous, but only Yunxiang and Yunzhi can still listen to the words of the two people, and often anger the emperor, and go to Yunxiang in private, otherwise prepare a little elegant etiquette to ask Yunzhi to hit the wooden clock, and also save the heart of heaven. Within three days, Yun Xiang died, Yun Zhi offended his body in an accident, as if two lights were extinguished next to the emperor, and the eunuch became even more unlucky.

On the morning of the fourth day, Sun Jiagan, the imperial historian of the left capital of the Imperial Inspectorate, came to the yamen.

This was the first time he had visited the Yashi since returning from Yunnan. From the third year of Yongzheng, he served as the right deputy imperial historian and the Yunguichuan Guanfeng envoy, and he has been stationed abroad, and went to Guangzhou to preside over the trial of the Ling family's murder of nine lives and the destruction of the corpse, until he caught Nian Qianyao, who was shielding the criminal. At that time, the Nian Qianyao case had not yet broken out, and the Nian family was very hot, and Kong Yuxi, the governor of Liangguang, was a well-known Geng Zhi minister, and he could not handle this case. The first thing Sun Jiagan did when he got out of the car was to seal the door of Nian's house, knock out Nian Xiyao's prestige, visit Lijiawan several times to investigate the scene and inquire about the villagers, and capture the assassin sent by Nian Xiyao in one fell swoop. Yongzheng sent Tu Lichen to Guangzhou to transfer prisoners, and Sun Jiagan had already tied up ten corrupt officials from the Ling family and Nian Xiyao to Zhuque Bridge, and asked the king to kill all the banners, and even the majestic Tu Lichen returned disappointed. Sun Jiagan returned to Yunnan, and happened to be impeached by Yang Mingshi, and at the same time he was transferred back to Beijing. He returned to office with Yang Mingshi, and originally planned to admonish Yongzheng's new policy. In addition, in the first year of Yongzheng, he fought a lawsuit with Ge Dahun, the head of the household department, in the Yangxin Palace, and committed the disadvantages of the times. Therefore, others in other provinces are already famous people in Beijing. Some of them took the lead, and when they heard that he had officially arrived at the Yamen, none of the chief officials, imperial historians, and supervisors of the Imperial History Yamen who had been procrastinating dared to be late, and they were waiting for him in the Yazhong early. At the right time, I heard a gong outside, and the officials stopped one by one, and they all went to the gate of the yamen to meet the old man. Seeing him get out of the sedan chair with his waist bowed and calmly climbed the steps, his heart was tight.

"Don't do that." Sun Jiagan looked very calm, his tone was not domineering at all, and he said slowly in the face of the big and small officials who bowed their backs and controlled their voices: "You can be casual." Sun was surnamed Sun when he left, and he was surnamed Sun when he came back! "Let go of your hand and invite everyone to the lobby," we are also reunited after a long absence, and when we meet, I will also go to Dali Temple to watch Li Fu Xie Jishi. Come, come, all be seated! As he spoke, he sat on the side of the desk first.

Everyone thought that he was somehow serious and cold, but at this point, his body was relaxed. sat down in the order of deliberations, and the right deputy Yu Shi Yingcheng was the same year as Sun Jiagan, more casual than everyone else, personally made tea and sent it to him, and said with a smile: "Lord Sun, you have a reputation for being a Baolongtu outside, and you will not see another guest when you return to Beijing." To be honest, even I'm a little scared of you. To be honest, you don't have a smile on your face, and I'm stunned! The Imperial History Yamen is cold, and it is much more leisurely than the six departments. I've never seen anyone come so together, so early. ”

"You should say that you say, you should laugh at you, don't care about the face I was born with." Sun Jiagan shook his blue face like a winter melon, and his tone was still so dry, "But the Yushi Yamen is not an idle yamen, this is exactly the first thing I want to say." I also had this view in the household department before, but now I don't. Actually, we're all here 'waiting'. Wait for which province and which government to have a case and someone to impeach, and then move here. In this way, I don't think there is any need to set up this metropolitan procuratorate. He paused for a moment and arched his hand: "The emperor is bowing, and it is the time for the imperial history to show his skills." Since there is a clean silver, everyone is not very poor, and there is no need to live with the snort of foreign officials, sitting here and eating idle meals, not to mention the emperor's grace, and I am sorry for the court's fortune! - It's snowing and cold these days, so let's not talk about it. The scribe of the signing room divided the people into three groups, one to go to other provinces, and one to six departments, to visit the people, and to picket the officials; A group of hospitalization summary, should be suggested, should be corrected, should be advised, we have the right to deal with it, handle it on the spot, can you afford it? ”

Sun Jiagan coughed lightly, saw that everyone was listening sideways, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "My student is young, and I haven't caught up with the demeanor of my predecessors. Tang Chengcheng wrote to the north and flicked his sleeves in Nanshan, and Guo Xiu impeached the prime minister in front of the famous man at a banquet of thousands of people, only a few decades have passed, and it is rare to see such a person now. The so-called 'Wen Death Advice' is the duty of the imperial history, so if you are timid, you can walk while you are early. There are also first-class people who are not advisable, no matter how big or small, they write when they see it, make a fuss about some trivial things, and they despise themselves, so that how can others look down on you? Whoever dares to get something like 'someone bribes two taels of silver', 'the imperial food made by a certain kitchen is very salty', 'a certain official coughs during a meeting' and so on, my grandson will impeach you for a 'trivial blasphemy' first! ”

As soon as he looked up and saw the official of the Criminal Department accompanying Lu Congzhou, the secretary of the Criminal Department, he said: "Actually, what I want to say are three: sincerely assist the imperial court; Speak out; Not fussy. Today, everyone is here, presided over by Brother Yingcheng, and you will discuss. Whether there is a place to discuss is debatable. After that, he stood up and bowed with his hands, and then went out with Lu Congzhou to get out of the sedan chair and go, the meeting of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been open, and there is no beginning or end, he is so neat, everyone can't help but be happy.

Lu Congzhou and Sun Jiagan came to the Yamen of Dali Temple on Ministry's Street, just past the beginning of the Chen. The rest of the yamen are pouring out to sweep the snow and build a snowman at the door, only the gate of Dali Temple is three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post, the Goshha people stand on the solid snow with their hands on the waist and knives without squinting, and there are two teams of royal forest soldiers who are good at catching camps next to the stone lions, and the black crows and crows stand in the snow and the geese are lined up in eight figures, and the atmosphere is very solemn. Seeing the two of them getting off the sedan chair, a doorman sang, "Lord Sun and Lord Lu have arrived!" - Open the middle door! Then he heard three dull cannon shots, and the middle door opened in an uproar. The two of them hurriedly let go up the stairs, and they saw Gao Qizhuo, the secretary of Dali Temple, leading a few subordinates to greet him. Gao Qizhuo is not as deep and serious as Sun Jiagan, and he is always a naughty appearance that seems to be smiling but not smiling. The three of them raised their hands to salute, and then grinned and said: "It is common for Brother Zhou to come, Jiagan is too big to come, and I don't dare to touch your door." Sun Jiagan said: "I don't have such a big shelf, and I still have to have tea to treat me when he comes." Lu walked around and asked, "Are you on a business trip?" I've been here a few times and haven't seen you. ”

"I went to Yizhou again." Gao Qizhuo looked left and right, and whispered: "Go and show the emperor the mausoleum." As he spoke, he went to the signing room, and said, "The third master will also come to supervise the trial in a while, and we will be promoted to the court as soon as he comes." ”

The three of them sat down in the signing room, Sun Jiagan saw that the shelves were full of books, and couldn't help but be surprised, so he took out a copy of it, which was "Kanyu Family Words", and another copy was "Feng Shui", and even picked up the one that fell on the ground and read it, but it was "Easy to Say the Leyline". Sun Jiagan never smiled, and he couldn't help but break his face: "Gao Qizhuo, Wu Dalang plays with night owls, you just read these books!" "You don't recognize you except Confucius." Gao Qizhuo smiled and smoked, and said: "In fact, heaven and earth are in harmony with people, and it is not deviant to say that it is not deviant. Zhang Tingyu didn't believe it originally, I looked at his ancestor and said that everything was good, but I was afraid that I would die of a son. Zhang Meiqing of his family really fell ill and died. He said that he wanted to change a feng shui, I said that Mei Qing has passed away, you can't change him, it is excellent feng shui, don't dare to move! The emperor's feng shui land was changed to Yizhou, and a few Mongolian lamas came to see it together, and they also said that they were good, but they were afraid that the rustic atmosphere was thin and not as good as Malingyu. I said that you will dig here, and the water and sand will come out within one foot and five feet, and you gouge out my eyes! They dug a well on the spot, and after digging two feet, they still didn't see sand and water, so they were served...... The emperor originally wanted to build a mausoleum in Zunhua, close to the Holy Grandfather. I went to see it six times, and said that it couldn't be done here, and I couldn't understand what a few lamas were saying, and I wore a few places, and water gushed out of it before they ......took it." Sun Jiagan took advantage of him to ventilate, and said coldly: "According to what you say, if you do bad things for a lifetime, as long as you choose a piece of bull's-eye land, you can bless your children and grandchildren?" ”

"You don't understand this!" Gao Qizhuo said, "If there is no virtuous person, he will not be able to choose a good ......" and wanted to spit down when he said, when he looked up and saw Hongshi coming in, the three of them hurriedly stood up, Gao Qizhuo said: "Today, the master is here, he should open the door to greet him!" The people below are getting muddy. ”

Hongshi kept the spirit for a few days, probably tired, his face was pale and gloomy, and he said, "It's that I don't want to make a show." I have just come from Taningju, and I have two letters to tell you. Zeng Jing has been relieved to Beijing, the emperor wants to be treated preferentially, not to go to the South Prison, imprisoned to the prison temple, by Hongli and Ortai to preside over the trial, your criminal department is in charge of custody, Zeng Jing eats the eight officials' Yulu. Two things, the third master of Yunzhi has been stripped of all his titles and moved to Jingshan Yong'an Pavilion to be imprisoned. Prince Cheng's son, Hongsheng, also died and could not enter the title of Duke of the Eighth Auxiliary State, and was strictly controlled by the Zongren Mansion. On our side, it is judged by Qi Zhuo and Cong Zhou, and I am a sitting. The emperor's temperament has not been good these days, and I will remind you that you must be careful and careful. The three of them got up and listened, exchanging glances with each other. Lu Congzhou said: "Naturally, my brother and I will work hard to do this well, and we must not ask the emperor to work hard for this." Brother Gao naturally presides over the trial, and the brother helps from the side. ”

"Okay," Gao Qizhuo glanced at Sun Jiagan, who was expressionless, and shouted with a raised chin: "Ascension!" Take Li Fu! ”

Li Fu, Xie Jishi, Wu Ling, Huang Zhenguo, and Lu Shengnan have all been detained in the gate room on the east side of the hall of Dali Temple, and each of them occupies a room. Li Fu and Wu Ling are the major criminals of the imperial court, there is still a fire and tea in the gate, and the other three officials are only four grades, so they do not have this preferential treatment, but compared to the lobby of the criminal department, the high and low criminals who have no distinction between the high and low are all stuffed into the wet waiting hall, this is already heaven. I could hear the huge drum and the pager of "with Li Fu". Li Fu's hand holding the tea trembled, but he quickly calmed down. The two Goshha saluted him outside the gate, opened the gate and bowed again, and said, "Our lord has passed you over." Please! ”

Li Fu shook his head proudly, and tidied up his hair slightly, and the iron lock bell followed the two Goshha to the entrance of the hall, and the two classes of soap servants saw him coming, and the black and red water and fire sticks were swept with both hands, "Oh"-The ground dragged a dignified sound, and immediately it was so quiet that a needle could be heard, and the whole hall could only hear the rattling of the iron chains on his body. He took a deep breath and glanced at the hall, only to see Gao Qizhuo Lu sitting at the top of the week, and Hongshi and Sun Jiagan sitting side by side at another table on the west side of the public case, undergoing trial and supervision, all of them were familiar friends. He seemed a little stunned, smiled to himself, knelt down on his knees, and said: "The criminal officer Li Fu kneels to see the third master, the two great priests of Gaul, and Lord Sun Zongxian!" ”
