When the news of Sima Yue's death was sent to Xingtai, Shen Zhezi also felt in a trance, and couldn't help but recall all kinds of things about him.

To be honest, for his two brothers-in-law, Shen Zhezi is not very deliberately close. At first, I didn't want to be too intimate to be fortunate enough to be famous, and there were really not many topics between each other, and then there was no opportunity or reason to get close.

However, out of a psychology of compensation and reward, Shen Zhezi was more willing to treat them well. But this kind of awkward relationship between each other, sometimes being too attentive can be counterproductive, and ignoring it is a kind of letting go, especially for Sima Yue.

Earlier, the emperor was critically ill, which made Shen Zhezi more worried, remembering that these two brothers were not long-lived people, so he ordered Jiangdong to take care of Sima Yue carefully. After that, the emperor's condition turned critical, which also made Shen Zhezi breathe a sigh of relief, but when he learned how Jiangdong arranged Sima Yue, he couldn't help crying and laughing.

At that time, my father was sitting in Jiankang, worried that once the emperor died, the situation in Jiangdong might be turbulent, so he imprisoned Sima Yue more rudely. And this gave Zhongshu Ling Zhong Ya and others a wrong signal, and isolated King Xuancheng and others. After that, it was Shen Zhezi who sent someone to communicate, and the matter was a big deal.

Later, Shen Zhezi also wanted to recruit Sima Yue to Luoyang to settle down, but was rejected by Zhong Ya and other old ministers, Zhong Ya even solemnly repaired the book and the stage, saying that the identity and situation of the king of Liyang were too embarrassing.

Listen to whatever you say, but in the final analysis, it is nothing more than worrying that Shen Zhezi's heart will be difficult to open, or he will set off a new round of liquidation by controlling Sima Yue, thereby destroying Jiangdong's hard-won stability.

This intention can't be said to be bad, but he has reservations about Shen Zhezi's understanding. For the stable situation in Jiangdong created by himself, Shen Zhezi values it more than anyone else. So he simply stopped insisting and left Sima Yue in Jiankang to be taken care of by Taichen. After all, he can't guarantee that after Sima Yue comes to Luoyang, he will be able to break through the original lifespan like the emperor and live.

To this day, Shen Zhezi has long looked down on the matter of life and death, or has a little regret, but he is not so sad, and then he summoned some officials in the line to discuss how to deal with funeral matters.

In this regard, Taicheng did not provide advice, I don't know if it was because of respect for Xingtai, or because there was no plan at all. To be honest, if it is just the death of a king, even if he is the concubine of Su Zu, it is not worth discussing solemnly on the stage, and it can be handed over to the department to review the cooking.

However, Sima Yue and his people are related to the turmoil in Jiangdong a few years ago, and the funeral rules are easy to cause excessive interpretation, and it is not sure whether there will be any more aftermaths. At present, the affairs of Guanzhong and Longshang have multiplied the battle line in Taiwan, and Shen Zhezi does not want any more discordant riots in the current situation.

It's not that he still has any jealousy of those remnants of Jiangdong, it's just that these are all meaningless waves.

Bo burial and heirdom, this is a tone set by Shen Zhezi, and this is not because he is unkind and deliberately treats this short-lived brother-in-law.

One is that Sima Yue was involved in rebellion when he was born, and the special ceremony and generous funeral will make the emperor slightly embarrassed, and the other is that the stage advocates simple etiquette, and there is no need to use any generous gifts to express grief.

As for the heir, it means that the title of King Liyang will no longer be passed on to Sima Yue's son, and it is clear to those remnants of Jiangdong that it is impossible for the Zhuge family's rebellion to be reversed by his grandson. When Sima Yue was alive, he still had the title of king because of his status, but his son would no longer have this kind of treatment.

It seems cruel and ruthless to seize the feudal kingdom before the bones are cold, but in fact it is the protection of his heirs.

First of all, this title of the king of the sect is just like that, it may not be a good thing to add it to the body, Yu Liang killed the king of the sect when he was in power, and the queen mother forcibly pushed the second son in front of the people at an inopportune time, which also laid the root of the tragedy after Sima Yue. The reason why the stupid son of the Zhuge family had that kind of thought back then should be related to a considerable part of the reason.

If Sima Yue has many sons, he can choose another heir, and Shen Zhezi is willing to keep his fiefdom for the time being, but only one of his sons is from the Zhuge clan. So I don't want to give people a hint, so that the kid will be entangled with the old things again, and be involved in the turmoil like his father and become a victim. If this kid is quiet and able to keep it when he becomes an adult, even if he has no fiefdom, he doesn't have to worry about his livelihood.

Of course, the deepest reason is that Xingtai does not need to be how strong the clan is, just like the suppression of the sect kings by powerful ministers such as Yu Liang and others in the early years, since it can naturally receive the same effect, it is meaningless for women to be benevolent.

On the basis of facts, it is inevitable that it will be thinner than human feelings. Although these funeral arrangements have their own reasons, if they are promulgated on this basis, it will undoubtedly appear that the stage is not close to people, and it will also set off a kind of sadness.

Therefore, after some discussion, the officials of Xingtai also added some soothing details, such as the deposed princess Zhuge can also mourn, and give gold seal purple ribbons, oil car driving, etc., and give a living room to the countryman. As for Sima Yue's two daughters, they were all brought up in the garden to select virtuous concubines and concubines, and each was named the county lord.

After that, Shen Zhezi added another little instruction, that is, there is no need to discuss, Sima Yue is innocent or not, but since he is contaminated with that kind of rebellion, if he talks about it, he can imagine what the result will be, and there is no need to leave a bad comment on it.

As for the funeral afterward, Shen Zhezi was sure that he would not return to the capital to participate, although Shaanxi's affairs were stable and progressive, it was difficult to guarantee that nothing would happen. Moreover, Hebei has been quite active recently, and in this case, Shen Zhezi is still the safest to sit in Xingtai, so Xingtai will return to Jiangdong with He Chong and He Yu to treat the funeral.

After the discussion was completed, Shen Zhezi returned directly to the mansion. At this time, the house also knew the news, and there was no lively atmosphere in the past.

Shen Zhezi went straight into the inner house, and then saw Ah Xiu standing in the hot sun outside the corridor with his head down, and when he saw his father running, his little eyes suddenly flashed with a plead for help and hope.

There is no need to ask, Shen Zhezi also knows that this kid has been affected, but he himself is still worried about how to explain the decision to Xingnan to Princess Xingnan, and he really has no intention of rescuing him at this time, so he raised his hand to signal this kid to stand straighter, and then hurried into the room.

Ah Xiu was still full of hope to save the star, but he didn't expect his father to simply ignore him, and he couldn't help but feel even more aggrieved, until he saw Shen Pusheng swaying around, his eyes were bright again, and he waved his hand to signal Pusheng to come closer: "Auntie is dead, relatives are sad, you have to be trained like me when you enter the door now, hurry up to your grandmother's room and ask to save me, and I will take you to the garden with a float if you do well." ”

Shen Pusheng was also quite frightened of his mother's majesty, and naturally he didn't dare to stay for a long time after hearing this, so he ran out of the garden, and he didn't know if he remembered his brother's request for help.

When Shen Zhezi walked into the room, he felt that the atmosphere was depressing, he waved his hand to signal the ladies who were standing bowing their heads to withdraw, and then turned to the cabinet and saw Princess Xingnan lying on the couch with her back to the door, and slowly stepped forward and asked softly: "The lady already knows?" ”

Hearing her husband's voice, Princess Xingnan's sobbing voice rang out even more, and she turned around and burst into tears: "When my parents died, I was not in front of my parents." Now Adi is ...... again Shen Zhezi, I am really hearty, how can I be worthy of being a dear relative......"

She has stopped calling her husband by his name for many years, and now she blurts out again, which shows the sadness and confusion of her heart.

Shen Zhezi sat on the side of the couch, hugging the princess on his lap as in previous years, and before he could speak, he heard the princess sobbing again: "That kid has alienated me since he was a child, and I shouldn't have been because of it, but ...... But as soon as I thought of his fate, I, I should really beg you to take him to Luoyang. He stayed in Jiankang, full of sadness, how could he live in peace...... That stupid fat tossed himself to himself, he wouldn't read his brother's hard work! ”

Hearing that the princess was so guilty that even the emperor complained, Shen Zhezi felt even more difficult to speak, so he just said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty also has a lot of last resort." The old things are perverse, the human feelings are difficult, Your Majesty and I ......"

As soon as he said this, he saw that Princess Xingnan had raised her teary eyes and stared at him, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the husband and wife had been together for more than ten years, and they were already too familiar with each other.

"I, no matter how sad I am, I must remember not to disturb your foreign affairs. Sooner or later, I'm going to say, I'll listen! ”

Princess Xingnan raised his sleeve and wiped his tears fiercely, and then said in a nasal voice with a deflated corner of her mouth.

Shen Zhezi laughed dryly when he heard this, and then felt that it was out of place, so he couldn't help but raise his face, raised his hand to smooth the princess's sideburns, and sighed: "Could it be that I am a person who has been in love for a long time?" You lady can carry a little sorrow in your heart, I have always been shrewd, and I will never be willing to let you carry the weight. You don't have to ask me out loud, I hurried home in the middle of the day to cry with you. When the time of sorrow is together, the young are like this, how much can the children under the corridor bear? ”

"You, you...... Is this what you mean by emotion? I have lost a loved one, and you will still blame me for being angry with your son? ”

Princess Xingnan is sad, and her thoughts are inevitably extreme, after Shen Zhezi heard this, he was also dumbfounded for a while, and was silent for a moment before sighing: "The child is disgusting, I am only annoyed that he is not strong in his bones, and it is difficult to bear the punishment of the stick." It's just a plaything in the arms of *** blood gathering pregnancy, and he is also worthy of hurting my husband and wife for a long time? ”

Fortunately, Shen Axiu was looking forward to his grandmother coming to rescue him at this time, and he didn't dare to approach the attic. But after Princess Xingnan heard these words, her sadness was greatly corrupted, and she turned to say angrily: "You still say that it is not emotional? In the past, it was a lot of love and sweet talk, but now it will only mean to me. You are so mean to your son, I'm afraid you don't want to respond to your so-called closest relatives, who are nothing more than passers-by from the mother's womb, and it is not worth liver and intestine convulsions? ”

"I just can't bear to blame myself for everything, even though I am a close relative of a mother, it is really difficult to find the same fate. People are worried and I am happy, people are sad and I am happy, all kinds of things that my family enjoys today are the bittersweet and happy support of my husband and wife, and they come together, and they are natural gifts, but they should not be used as a source of self-blame and guilt. ”

Shen Zhezi got up and hugged the princess into his arms: "I am not only comforting the lady, but also extricating myself." The first emperor plucked me to the end, the despicable body was fortunate to match the proud daughter of the sky, and the blood of the heir was only passed on to His Majesty and the world. The world is so dead, I really can't claim to be innocent. Nowadays, it is really difficult for me to focus on human feelings, and I am often afraid of becoming more and more ruthless. Affection is relaxed or strong, just jokes, where the lady is is where the love is, the bad news is here, what kind of grief and guilt do you have, how can I be free from this? ”

When Princess Xingnan heard this, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she choked up: "I really am, I just think that my parents left my sister and brother alive, Ah Jue ...... I don't know whether to be sad or ashamed, I just feel that my eldest sister really shouldn't and can't dominate so much joy in the world, but my husband is ......."

"Then I'll tell the lady, if things can't be good back then, the husband and wife will say goodbye, and the son will be slaughtered, and today's sweetness is just a dream ...... the lady."

"No, no! Don't say it, I'll beg my husband...... The world is too ruthless, and the universe is so big that it can't tolerate a few families to rejoice together......"

Princess Xingnan hurriedly raised her hand to cover her husband's mouth, her face became extremely pale, and she didn't want to listen to or think about the terrifying possibility that her husband said.

"Therefore, the lady must understand that what is happening today is not a sin. It is your husband and wife who sacrifice their lives to fight, and you and I should have it. All these are not taken from someone, God rewards me, but it can benefit people but cannot be given to others. ”

When Shen Zhezi said this, he raised his hand and pointed out the door, and finally did not completely leave his son behind: "If Yan is the most innocent, it is still the little child under the corridor......"

"He doesn't dare to sue you for punishment! You go and ask him if he is innocent, and he dares to respond? ”

Princess Xingnan was originally full of sentimentality, but after hearing this, she suddenly became angry again, and directly stomped her feet and shouted: "Shen Axiu, get in!" What is the punishment for suing your father? Should I be punished? ”

After a long while, Shen Axiu drooped his head and walked into the room, not daring to look at his grandmother who was still waiting for him with red eyes, and lowered his head and said dryly: "Son, son shouldn't be talking outside......

"What did you say? Speak up! ”

Princess Xingnan snorted coldly when she heard this.

"Children are occasionally and unconditioned, all of which are ordinary. At his age, I probably don't know what to courteous. ”

Shen Zhezi saw that his son's face was flushed and he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't bear it for a while, so he opened his mouth to cover up a little, and at the same time said to Ah Xiu: "Since you know that you have lost your words, then tell it, and you can also remember not to make mistakes again in the future." ”

"Mr. Yu and a few people often say that Grandpa Lingxiu is precocious, and he is the crown of my Wu Township, and he sighs that I am far inferior. The child is not angry for a while, because he told Mr. Zhu that although the boy is inferior, he still has a good, and the homework must be written by himself, but Grandpa always chooses to write on behalf of him, or cares for his children, and he can leave me a place to be blue......"

Seeing that his father's demeanor and tone were all kind, Shen Axiu said in a low voice.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, his face suddenly fell, although he planned to educate his son personally, but with the development of the war in Guanzhong, he didn't have much energy to take care of it, so the princess was in charge, and selected a few people such as Hui Ji Yuxi and taught his son homework.

"Ah Xiu came closer, and the father and son were not responsible, can the gentlemen teach?"

Although his hands were already itching, Shen Zhezi still tried to maintain a kind smile and waved his hand to signal his son to step forward.

At this time, another small brain melon poked out from the door and whispered: "Brother, brother, grandmother is already behind, you have to remember to take my float around the garden......"

"The float was demolished, and the garden was sealed! You wait for the child to rely on his own money, and he has a lot of fun, your father at this age, he has long known that he is respectful and diligent, how dare he play for a long time! Recently, I am not allowed to go anywhere, and I am all at home to study hard! ”

General Shen snorted coldly, and rushed out to grab Shen Pusheng, who was about to flee when he saw that the situation was not good, the two brothers were placed side by side, and their eyes couldn't help but drift to Shen Axiu: "Mr. is a virtuous deed, that is a spur and encouragement." The child's skills are not perfect, he does not know how to admonish himself, but he fights with his tongue, is this also your father's love and treatment of you? From now on, in addition to the regular classes, there will be daily homework on the job, since the determination is so, it is impossible to stop it! ”

While speaking, the old mother Wei had already come in a hurry, and Shen Zhezi took advantage of the situation to send these two disgusting things away from his mother. After returning to the room, I heard the princess sigh again: "After all, the husband dotes on the child, if he only seeks to win against the blue, this is really not a heavy punishment......

"It's wrong, it's a good thing to be able to say it. If the reprimand is too severe, it will make him mistakenly think that he is not punished for his mistakes, but because he is to blame for his frank confession, and he will be unfamiliar with it over time. ”

Shen Zhezi snorted coldly when he heard this, and then said with a heartfelt voice: "The son of a famous father is unusual, and he is expected to be sent by people, and he has competed with the likes of national scholars since he was a child, but it is also difficult for him." It is also a blessing for him to be able to get one or two places to compete. ”

Having said that, he also occasionally felt itchy, and instructed his family to send pen and ink and famous calligraphy, and sat upright to copy it.
