Chapter 866 Funeral Procession

On May 14, there was a major event in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the left guard army sent to Jizhou, and the right guard marched into Yizhou. In short, there are all kinds of rumors, and the most ridiculous thing is that some people actually say that the new Metropolitan Governor Fang is going to establish himself as the king.

Li Shimin looked at the piece in his hand with a smile and laughter, he didn't expect that just a transfer of troops with a preventive surname would pop up so many rumors, the most ridiculous thing is that a certain imperial historian actually said that the ** Fang Yiai abused his power, privately raised heavy soldiers, and intended to commit treason. It seems that no matter what time it is, there are the kind of characters who make it overnight with a big gamble. Obviously, a certain imperial historian made a mistake, and when his fold fell into the hands of Li Shimin, this imperial historian was sent back to his hometown by the officials on charges of corruption and bribery, and the most serious thing was that he was not hired for life.

Although he lives in the West Cross Courtyard, Changle is not ignorant, Tuoba Xiyue always goes out early and returns late these days, and sometimes even does not show up for several days. Early in the morning, Tuoba Xiyue wanted to leave, but Changle stretched out his hand and called out to her, "Xiyue, you come here, I have something to ask you!" ”

Tuoba Xiyue frowned involuntarily, and when she entered the house, Tuoba Xiyue showed a relaxed smile, "Madam, do you want to ask about the right guard and the left guard going east?" ”

"Yes, I naturally won't believe that rumor, but my husband hasn't sent a letter for so many days, is there something happening in Youzhou?" Changle knows Fang Yiai too well, this husband is really not good at lying, the more he doesn't tell the truth, the more worried Changle becomes.

Tuoba Xiyue also knew that she couldn't hide it from Changle, with Changle's ability, she wanted to know, she had her own way, and the reason why she asked someone was because she was inconvenient now. After thinking for a while, Tuoba Xiyue helped Changle sit on the soft couch, "Madam, this matter is not certain, according to the news from the husband, it seems that the group of wicked people of the monkey spirit want to artificially create a plague." ”

Pestilence? As soon as she heard these two words, Changle instinctively used a sense of fear, she frowned tightly, and held Tuoba Xiyue's hand unconsciously increased a little force, "How can this be, since it is a plague, why do you still let your husband stay there?" ”

"Madam, you should understand very well, it's not that the husband can come back if he wants to, he is His Majesty's son-in-law, and he is also a noble Changle concubine, the more dangerous it is, the more he should stay there."

Changle closed her eyes gently, her heart was beating so fast, and her heart was so bored, perhaps, mixed with a faint anger. For the sake of the child, Changle had to force himself to be quiet, and squeezed Tuoba Xiyue's hand hard, Changle slowly stood up, "Prepare the car, send me into the palace!" ”

Changle's words are so firm that people don't have the slightest intention of resisting, Tuoba Xiyue couldn't help but sigh, many people think that Changle has no temper and is an easy-going person, but they don't know how much headache it will be when Changle is angry.

Tai Chi Palace, Changle has not been here for two months, and the Tai Chi Palace in spring is so beautiful, but Changle has no intention of watching it at all. Yaxin and Qin Yu carefully supported one left and one right, and the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides all saluted respectfully, although His Royal Highness Changle was no longer in the palace, but her status did not decrease at all, on the contrary, it was getting higher and higher.

People outside the Taiji Palace will never know the situation in the palace, but the people in the palace know that in the eyes of His Majesty, His Royal Highness Changle is only a little lighter than the queen.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled a little bitterly, knowing that Changle would come, but she didn't expect her to come so soon. When she went to pick up Changle, Empress Changsun asked her to go to the Ganlu Hall to find Li Shimin, and at this time, Changle's body was inconvenient, and it was impossible for her to run to the Ganlu Hall with a big belly.

After replacing Qin Yu, Empress Eldest Sun said with some complaints, "Changle, why did you come here in person, what is the matter, just let the girl or the little son bring a word?" ”

"Queen Mother, the child has to come in person!" With a wave of their hand, the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side went out with interest, and at this time there were only two mother and daughter left in the house. There was no one, Changle frowned and smiled bitterly, "Queen Mother, the child can't leave Fang Jun." ”

"Silly child, the queen mother knows, Fang Jun will be fine, I don't know if the plague will come true, you are worried now, it's not a thing!"

"Fang Jun, the child knows very well, if there is no sign at all, he will not write that letter to his father, and it is at such a critical juncture!" Although he was not in Youzhou, Changle also knew that this was the time when Fang Yiai and Li Ai were going to fight for clarity, if it wasn't for the fact that the matter was too urgent, Fang Yiai would not have been able to put Li Ai aside.

From the Hundred Blessings Hall of the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin walked for a quarter of an hour, Changle wanted to salute, Li Shimin hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, "Changle, don't pay attention to so many false courtesies in your own family, is your father still less courtesy?" How's that, I've been in good shape lately, what's missing, if you're missing, let someone go to the library to get it! ”

Li Shimin wanted to change the topic, he really didn't want to talk about the affairs of Youzhou, but Changle was particularly insistent, "Father, you know that children are not short of these." The child knows that his father also has his own difficulties, but please ask his father to give the child a word, no matter what, Fang Jun will come back safely! ”

It is said that Changle's request is already very simple, but Li Shimin, who has always been controlled by his daughter, shook his head with some difficulty, "Changle, it's not that your father won't help you, in the face of the plague, who can guarantee anything?" ”

The answer given by Li Shimin was already very simple, and Changle had no interest in continuing. Changle felt that her requirements were not high, she didn't let her husband come back immediately, she just hoped to let her come back when she couldn't do anything, but her father didn't agree to this request.

Changle didn't stay in the Baifu Hall for too long, and when she left, Empress Changsun smiled a little sadly, "Your Majesty, why don't you coax Changle, if you are like this, she will hate you." ”

"Guanyin, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are some things, I can't do anything, just because Fang Jun is my son-in-law, people all over the world are staring at him, what do you say I should do, transfer him back?"

Li Shimin was not wrong, but he was wrong, Empress Changsun could not judge Li Shimin, because he was not only the emperor, but also her husband.

In Youzhou, the common people don't seem to know what is coming, they are still busy going in and out, and many businessmen are still buying goods. At the north gate, there is a simple tea shed, which is almost noon at this time, and there are many guests in the tea shed. Although this is a tea shed, there are steamed buns and side dishes.

Wen Luo and Hongyi are used to people in the rivers and lakes, so they will not dislike how filthy this tea shed is. After ordering a plate of side dishes, the two of them sat in the tea shed and drank tea, and the north gate at this time was almost the busiest time in Youzhou. For the other gates, the morning gate is the most crowded, but the north gate is an exception, and most of the people who enter and exit the north gate are leather merchants, and these people are at noon when they enter and exit at the peak time.

It couldn't be only Wen Luo and Hongyi who came to stare at it, and there were no less than four or five squatting men at the north gate.

"Hongyi, do you think Mo Junli will really be exposed, why do I always feel that something is wrong, if I really want to start a big plague, I should stay in the city!"

"I don't know about this, but Sister Luo'er, since Zheng Liwan and her husband said so, let's just ask for the surname and do what is told!"

As he was talking, Wen Luo heard a rough cry, which included a man and a woman, as well as a few children. A funeral procession slowly walked towards the north gate, these people were all dressed in white clothes and white hats, and the young people who walked in the front were crying breathlessly, and the people around them were a little moved.

"Hey, who is this, this dead man is easy, but the living will suffer!" One merchant said with some sympathy, and the other guests involuntarily nodded together.

Dead people are not rare for Wen Luo at all, if no one has to be sympathetic, isn't it a flood of sympathy? After copying a small dish, Wen Luo muttered in a low voice, "Is it a good thing, the funeral at noon is really unlucky!" ”

Hongyi frowned deeply, and she watched the funeral procession leave the city before she got up and walked to the city gate. Seeing the red clothes coming, a man with feet leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Madam, is there a situation?" ”

"Well, a few of you quietly follow the funeral procession in front of you, remember to be quiet, don't alarm them, until I lead someone to catch up!"

"Yes, ma'am!" The footman did not hesitate, and after glancing at the other men, they picked up the burden next to them and headed north. There is a big road in the north of the city, and they are not afraid of losing it, so they walk very slowly.

Wen Luo followed after settling the bill, and when she saw Hongyi turning her head and walking back, she couldn't help but ask, "Ling Hong, is there something wrong?" ”

"Well, the funeral procession is very abnormal, it is rare to use horse-drawn coffins, and it is also very unusual to use four strong horses, don't you think it is very unusual? I had already looked closely, and the four horses' hooves were very heavy when they landed, and it was clear that the coffin was particularly heavy. ”

As soon as Hongyi explained, Wen Luo figured it out a little, according to common sense, there was a dead man in the coffin, and four horses were already very extravagant, how could there be a situation where four horses fell on their hooves and were heavy?

"Really, since you don't think it's right, why didn't you stop them just now?" Wen Luo couldn't help but be a little anxious, let the person go and then chase after him, isn't there something wrong with the brain?

Hongyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, she pointed to the north gate, and said softly, "Sister Luo'er, you see, there are so many people here at the north gate, once you start to do it, it will be these pedestrians who are unlucky." ”

It's really merciful, Wen Luo doesn't wonder, it is said that they are all children of the rivers and lakes who lick blood with knives, why is Hongyi still so merciful? In fact, Hongyi can't understand herself, if she had changed before, she would never have thought about it so much, what about how many innocent people died? But since having a child, her mentality has changed, and as for why it has changed, even she can't find a reason for it.

Knowing that there was a discovery, Fang Yiai was really excited, this time he did not hesitate, and immediately ordered hundreds of people in the house to go out of the north gate with the red clothes.

The North Gate Road leads directly to Liaoshan, and there is a small road to the west, and at the end of this road is the famous Shahe Land in Youzhou. The reason why it is named Shahedi is because the soil here is very soft and cannot support crops, so gradually few people come to this Shahedi. The funeral procession turned westward, and the few impostors who followed were a little difficult. The Sand River is flat, and few people go, and if they follow, it will be too obvious, and there is not even a big tree here, so they can't follow secretly.

"Grandma is a bear, what's the name of the village in the west?" Gao Chen was a little anxious, for now, the only way to do this was to pretend to be a villager in the west village first, but he was afraid that there would be no village in the west, so he would have no hope if he wanted to pretend.

"Yes, what's it called Zhongtan Village!"

"Okay, if someone asks in a while, they will say that they are selling leather goods in Zhongtan Village. Remember, don't miss your identity, even if you have a knife holder on your neck, don't panic! ”

"Hmm!" Several impostors nodded together, and they turned around and headed west, at this time, the mourners naturally paid attention, there will be vendors in the realm of Shahe Land? (To be continued.) )
