Chen Kan had no choice but to stretch out his hand against Feng Yang's little brain.

"Bad Daddy, Bad Daddy, Bad Daddy......"

Feng Yang was obviously very unconvinced, and his round little head kept coming towards Chen Kan.

And then against the ground and take off!

Chang Ning held Fengyang in his arms and reprimanded angrily: "Eat, make trouble again!" ”

was yelled at by Chang Ning, and Feng Yang immediately came down honestly, which can be said to be the most vivid interpretation of the four words of bullying the soft and fearing the hard.

Chen Kan filled his stomach with the momentum of the wind and clouds, hiccuped, and was about to get into the carriage to sleep again, when a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the reeds behind the Xiangjiang River.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!"

Before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and after a while, several horses entered the camp where Chen Kan was.

"Master Hou, old lady, old lady has passed away."

The person who came turned over and dismounted, came to Chen Kan and knelt down on one knee, but the news brought made Chen Kan's eyes black in an instant.

In Chen Kan's place, there is only one person who can be called an old lady, his sister Zheng.

"What did you say?"

Chen Kan asked in disbelief, and the person who reported the news hurriedly repeated: "Master Hou, the old lady of the Zheng family, the wife of Lord Shangshu Fang of the Ministry of Rites, passed away at home on the sixth day of the seventh month. ”

"How so?"

Chen Kan was a little stunned.

"It shouldn't be, when I left Beijing, wasn't my sister okay?"

Chen Kan shook his head, his expression full of disbelief.

At the same time, a faint sense of sadness instantly emerged from my heart.

"Husband, husband!!"

Chang Ning hurriedly put Feng Yang on the ground and grabbed Chen Kan's arm.

"Go back to Beijing, quick, go back to Beijing!"

Chen Kan suddenly became a little flustered, and he couldn't tell what mood he was in now.

There seems to be some sadness.

He deserves to be grieved.

This body was raised by the Zheng family, and after he came to Daming, Fang Xiaoru and the Zheng family also treated him as their own son.

In Daming, Chen Kan can be said to be unaccompanied.

Fang Xiaoru and Zheng are the only two elders in this world.

But more than that, it seems unbelievable.

He didn't believe it very much, obviously when he left Jingshi, the Zheng family was still so energetic, except for the difficulty of moving his body, his spirit was obviously very good.

"Husband, don't worry, let's go back to Beijing."

Chang Ning seemed to see through Chen Kan's mood, and supported Chen Kan tightly with both hands, and then quickly called Yun Cheng to start arranging.

"The order goes down, everyone turns around and returns to Jingshi."

"Yun Cheng, send two people to Tanzhou to tell the imperial grandson and the prince of Han that the Hou Ye will return to Beijing first, and let them go to Yunnan to meet Liu Yushi after Tanzhou is finished."

"Yun Niang, dispatch the convoy."

At a critical time, Chang Ning showed the demeanor of a princess.

As her order was given, the convoy was up and running.

Chen Kan came back to his senses, broke free of Chang Ning's hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's too late, it's too late." ”

Chang Ning was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "What's too late?" ”

Chen Kan shook his head and said: "The speed of the convoy can't catch up, Shi Niang died on the sixth day of the seventh month, and today is already July 14, according to the character of the teacher, Shi Niang will definitely be buried, and the time of stopping the spirit will not be too long, maybe it is already being buried." ”

Chen Kan's thoughts are terrifyingly clear now, he knows Fang Xiaoru, and with Fang Xiaoru's character, he will definitely not handle the funeral of his wife with great fanfare.

At most, it is to notify the Hou family and clan.

And Fang Xiaoru is a native of Ninghai, Zhejiang, and is only three days away from Beijing.

Now that eight days have passed, the people of the Fang clan and the Zheng clan have definitely rushed to the Jingshi.

Even if Fang Xiaoru is now a secretary of the ministry, and his wife dies, the court needs to give a certain amount of mourning, such as being buried according to the specifications of several orders.

But this time will not be too long, no more than a month at most.

He rushed back with his whole family, and it was definitely too late.

Thinking of this, Chen Kan suddenly took Chang Ning's hand and said with a serious face: "I'll go back, I'll go back to attend Shi Niang's funeral, Madam, you take Yun Niang and Fengyang to continue to walk towards Yunnan, Yongdingwei's affairs will be handed over to their two brothers, send someone to deliver a message to them, one will stay in Tanzhou, one will rush to Yongdingwei, and when Shi Niang is buried, I will catch up with you quickly." ”

Chang Ning frowned and said: "But Xiao Yan'er has no clue about their Tanzhou affairs, and let them divide one person to Yongdingwei, can they handle it?" ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, tell them that they are not children anymore."

Chen Kan's volume increased a little, and Chang Ning had to nod in response: "I'll call someone to tell them." ”

Chen Kan nodded and continued: "The task arranged by His Majesty this time, the matchmaker is clear, let the matchmaker assist the two brothers, do what you can, and keep what you can't do until I come back,"

"I see!"

Hearing that Chang Ning should go, Chen Kan did not delay, led two horses, took a few guards and left the camp, galloping in the direction of Jingshi.

Zheng died, and Chen Kan needed to go back to mourn.

He is a disciple, not a son, so there is no such thing as three years of filial piety.

But the funeral must go.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and Chen Kan didn't even go back to wear linen and filial piety when his master died, which was unfilial piety.

The big hat of unfilial piety, even with Chen Kan's current identity, can't be carried at all.

But his mission to Beijing this time has not been fully completed, and he can only pin his hopes on two disciples.

To put it bluntly, Chen Kan's trip to Beijing this time and his trip to Yunnan is just a name, or a matter of the way.

What he really wants to do is the things that Zhu Di explained to him.

If Zhu Di wants to restart the sub-sealing system, he will definitely encounter opposition from many people, so Zhu Di must first solve all the contradictions that should be resolved in the Ming Dynasty before mentioning this matter.

And Chen Kan is the sewing maker he chose.

There are some local things that the emperor can hardly command remotely, and he must be done by someone he can trust.

Only when the Ming Dynasty is stable and Zhu Di has no worries, can he devote all his energy to fighting wits and courage with those who oppose the restart of the feudal system.

There is no way, the sub-sealing system that Zhu Di wants to do is completely different from the sub-sealing system in history.

The Ming Dynasty is an empire that has formed a complete state system, and the domestic interest chain was basically formed in the Hongwu period.

After all, to open up new territories, money and people are indispensable.

But these things, Zhu Di must not be able to conjure them out of thin air, so he can only divide them from the chain of other people's interests.

Therefore, the resumption of the sub-sealing system is definitely not just a matter of talking, but a new distribution of interests.

And this distribution of benefits must be completed before Zhu Gaoxu's class returns to the dynasty, otherwise, with Zhu Gaoxu's temperament, time will drag on for a long time, and he will definitely do everything possible to stay in Beijing and not leave.

Therefore, whether it is to mourn or alleviate domestic contradictions, Chen Kan at both ends cannot give up.

Then the Zhu brothers can only be temporarily caught out of the top bag.

As for how well they did, that can only be said.

Chen Kan left, and the morale of the entire camp seemed a little low.

Chang Ning thought about it, but still called Yun Cheng to arrange the things that Chen Kan ordered one by one.

This time Chen Kan took them out of Jingshi, although she didn't say exactly what she was going to do, but after all, she was a woman who grew up in the royal family, and she still had the simplest sense of politics.

As for the people who come and go to the convoy and Tanzhou to report the news, they can only fall on the personal guards left by Chen Kan, the matchmaker and Wu Di can't see the light after all, and Chang Ning doesn't want to use them until the critical time.

Soon, Chang Ning arranged everything, and the convoy continued on the road.

Only this time, the destination of the convoy was no longer Yongdingwei, but Yunnan.

When the convoy was on the road, Chang Ning and Yun Niang shared a car, and the two girls were a little worried.

Things in Tanzhou are still a mess, and there is another accident in Jingshi.

Chen Kan left, and he didn't know when he would be able to come back.

No matter how smart the Zhu brothers are, their age and experience are there, and they can only rely on theory to do many things.

She and Yun Niang are also women's families, and they can't help the Zhu family brothers.

No one could have imagined that in an instant, the situation would become what it is now.

In the carriage, the mood of the two women was sluggish for a while, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly at the same time.

On the contrary, the little Fengyang is very interested, because the bad father is gone, she can monopolize her mother and aunt.

Therefore, when the atmosphere of the entire team was sluggish, the laughter like Fengyang silver bells came from time to time in the carriage that Chang Ning was riding.

Miraculously, as Fengyang's laughter continued to come out, the dead atmosphere of the convoy began to become harmonious again after driving a certain distance.

......

After Chen Kan left the camp, he galloped with a group of guards.

Chen Kan did not expect Zheng to die this year, and he went to see her when he left Beijing.

At that time, Zheng's mental state was fine, and Chen Kanju felt that she could at least last a few more years.

But life is so impermanent, and birth, old age, sickness and death are not beyond human control.

All he can do now is to rush back to Jingshi as soon as possible, and at least send the Zheng family on their last journey to the grace of full upbringing.

Fortunately, he is still in Huguang now, and he is not too far from Jingshi.

If he had already arrived in Yunnan, he might not even be able to return to Beijing to send Zheng on his last journey.

"Drive, drive, drive~"

Chen Kan drove the war horse under his crotch fast, and the scenery and things behind him were left behind him at a very fast speed.

The sound of hurried horses' hooves resounded on both sides of the official road, and when the sky darkened, Chen Kan had already galloped out of more than 60 miles.

"Master Hou, can you take a rest, if you run down again, the war horse should not be able to resist."

There was a roar of the guards behind him, Chen Kan came back to his senses, looked down, and found that white foam had come out between the mouth and nose of the war horse.

Chen Kan was suddenly startled in his heart, hurriedly reined in the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Everyone, rest on the spot for half an hour." ”

Hearing Chen Kan's voice, a group of guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Kan is in such a high-intensity hurry, no matter how awesome the people are, they can't resist it, and they have to rest for a while.
