Chapter 243: Mourning and Change
Li Xin was stunned.
Is that guy really dead?
Listening to Chen Ju's tone, Li Chun is not only dead, but most of them are inseparable from the emperor.
Li Xin came back to his senses and smiled bitterly at Chen Ju, "Grand Duke, I still have injuries on my humble body, and I can barely walk around yesterday, so it's inconvenient to go over, right?" ”
If the Li family really died of their son at this time, Li Xin is now in the past, just hitting the tip of someone else's knife, those people don't dare to do anything to Chengde Tianzi, what if they see that they are not pleasing to the eye and stab themselves?
There's nowhere to reason!
Although Li Xin was unhappy with the Pingnan Hou Mansion, he had never faced the Pingnan Hou Mansion head-on before this, and several conflicts were also fought with strength, and the emperor's meaning at this time was clearly to let him face the edge of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
You must know that there are more than 1,000 brave generals in the Pingnan Hou Mansion......
When Chen Ju read the edict, he played the role of the Son of Heaven, so his face was solemn, and after reading the edict at this time, he became a gentle eunuch again, and he glanced at Li Xin lightly.
"You have to go."
"If you can't walk, I will carry you to the Pingnan Hou Mansion!"
After speaking, he looked up at the Seventh Prince, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, the prince of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion will mourn tomorrow, and His Royal Highness will mourn on behalf of the royal family." ”
The Seventh Prince nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, the eldest duke, Xiao Wang knows." ”
Chen Ju bent over to the Seventh Prince, and was about to turn around and leave.
Ji Wen followed, walked beside Chen Ju, and said in a low voice, "Grand Duke, Xiao Wang has not dared to ask these days, but now he really can't hold it back, may I ask Grand Duke, how is his dragon body now?" ”
Chen Ju stopped and glanced at King Wei lightly.
"Your Highness shouldn't ask this kind of question, and the old slave shouldn't answer it."
Ji Wen smiled bitterly and said, "The Grand Duke misunderstood, Xiao Wang didn't nod his head in his heart, but as a son of man, he should always know what happened to his father." ”
Chen Ju slowly shook his head, "Your Majesty is fine, Your Highness can rest assured, Your Highness is a smart person, there is no private matter in this family, don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, read for the sake of His Highness's filial piety, today's Your Highness's question, the old slave just didn't hear it." ”
His Royal Highness King Wei sighed and arched his hand at Chen Ju who was far away.
"Thank you for your understanding."
……
After sending Chen Ju away, His Royal Highness King Wei returned to Li Xin's courtyard with his hands in his hands, and the two young men glanced at each other, both of them seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
"It seems that Li Chun is really dead."
The Seventh Prince sat back across from Li Xin, shook his head and said, "It's too sudden." ”
Li Xin took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Your Highness just said, how did Li Chun die?" ”
"Stabbed to death."
His Royal Highness King Wei said slowly: "I heard that it was made by a part of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and it was quick and ruthless, and until now, the Pingnan Hou Mansion has not been able to find out who the murderer is." ”
Li Xin narrowed his eyes.
"In this way, most of them are ......"
"Silence!"
The Seventh Prince frowned and interrupted what Li Xin was about to say, shook his head and said, "Brother Xin, it's good to know some things in your heart, so don't say it......"
Li Xin coughed and said with a wry smile, "If Li Chun is really dead, let's go to mourn him, the people of the Pingnan Hou Mansion will hate us to death, maybe they will think that I did it, and I won't be able to sleep in the capital in the future." ”
The assassination of the Son of Heaven by the Pingnan Hou Mansion made a very bad start.
Because this kind of thing is the most unruly thing.
The Pingnan Marquis Mansion wanted to assassinate the Son of Heaven without paying attention to the rules, so the Son of Heaven did not pay attention to the rules and killed Li Chun.
Now the Pingnan Hou Mansion is powerless to retaliate against the Son of Heaven, but they can shift the spearhead to Li Xin, thinking about the more than 1,000 veterans who have retired from the battlefield in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, Li Xin's scalp is a little numb.
"Brother Xin'er is too loud."
The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "It's great, you will live in Xiao Jiu in the future, there are so many courtyards in the princess's mansion, it's not a big deal to give you a room to live in, the princess's mansion is guarded by a captain battalion of Yulin Guard, and there will be no accidents." ”
Honestly, it's a pretty good idea.
Li Xin shook his head, "Nameless and partless, how can you live here?" ”
"Is it important to be famous, or is life important?"
The Seventh Prince smiled, "I can't fight like this, I'll be the master of Xiao Jiu, and you will be the doorman of the princess's mansion in the future, so there will be no problem, right?" ”
Li Xinli shook his head secretly.
The so-called doormen are all unemployed vagrants who eat white food, and Li Xin also has officials and positions in the imperial court, where is there a reason to be a doorman for others?
However, the safety of him and Zhong Xiaoxiao is indeed not guaranteed in a short period of time, but they really have to consider living in the princess's mansion.
But it's definitely not okay to be a doorman.
Li Xin stood up from his chair and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, let's think about it, let's go to Pingnanhou Mansion tomorrow." ”
"What do you want to do with these?"
His Royal Highness King Wei smiled indifferently, "We are going on behalf of our father, can they still dare to embarrass us?" ”
…………
The next day, the Pingnan Hou Mansion was mourned.
In this era, red and white things can be regarded as happy events, but it is an old man who is about to die, and a young death like Li Chun is a tragic event.
The male owner of the Pingnan Hou Mansion was not there, and Li Yan, the squire of the military department, was supposed to be in charge of the overall situation, but Li Yan was whipped by the third prince, and now he is still bedridden, so he can only be brought by Mrs. Yu, the master mother of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Because it was a younger generation who passed away, she didn't need to wear filial piety clothes, just wore plain clothes and stood quietly at the door of the mourning hall.
This lady of the Pingnan Hou Mansion is also quite famous in the capital on weekdays, and is known for her fierce methods, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion has been doing well in the circle of the capital for more than ten years under her care.
So everyone respectfully calls her Madame Jade.
But now, this Jade Lady's face has completely lost her brilliance, and she stood at the door of the Hou Mansion in a daze, saluting the guests who came and went to mourn with a blank face.
It was as if she had lost her soul.
Calculating the age, Mrs. Yu is also about forty years old this year, and this age can already be regarded as an "old man" in this era.
Losing a child in old age is a pain that no one can bear.
Because the Li family and the imperial court have been a little dirty recently, many families in the capital are reluctant to interact with the Pingnan Hou Mansion, so there are not many people who come to this funeral, and there are only one or twenty people near the mourning hall.
Suddenly, from the door of the Hou Mansion, there was a roll call.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince of Wei, Yulin Wei Youlang General Li Xin, was ordered to come to mourn the prince of the Nanhou Mansion on behalf of His Majesty."
As soon as the words fell, His Royal Highness King Wei, dressed in a black robe, walked in from outside.
Li Xin, who was pale, wore a dress of Yu Linwei and walked behind the Seven Princes.
To participate in the funeral, you generally can't wear too bright clothes, among which black is the best, and it just so happens that Yu Linwei's dress is pure black, so Li Xin wore it.
The Seven Princes and their entourage walked up to Mrs. Yu, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei stepped forward and whispered to Mrs. Yu, "Mrs. Li, life and death are fate, please mourn." ”
Madame Jade gritted her teeth and forcibly held back her tears.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Xin, who was on the side, clasped his hands in his sleeves, endured the pain on his back, and slowly shook his head at Mrs. Yu.
"Mrs. Li, this is the end of your fate with Li Chun, just mourn and change."
Madame Yu raised her head suddenly and looked at Li Xin viciously,
"Get out of here!"
Li Xin shook his head.
Why can't this woman listen to good words?
Li Xin sighed and said softly, "Li Chun's death may not be a good thing for Madame, and please ask Madame to open a little." ”
