Han Shizu

Chapter 735 Second Northern Tour
A sad atmosphere enveloped the house, and the servants serving inside and outside all knelt down, their faces full of grief.Miss Zhe Congruan was considered strong, but she still fell on the edge of the couch. The one who cried the most was Liu Fang. He liked Zhe Congruan very much, and he still carried Zhe Congruan's dagger with him.

Liu Yun didn't know anything, and his childish eyes wandered around. He was a little curious about the cries of his mother and brother, and wanted to laugh, but probably because of the atmosphere, he couldn't laugh. He just hugged his father's leg with his hands and leaned on with.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhe has gone. I have little talent and little knowledge, and I am really powerless. Please punish me!" The imperial physician at the side bowed to Liu Chengyou and said in a trembling voice.

Seeing the fearful look on his face, Liu Chengyou lost even the interest in a wry smile. He also knew that it was the sequelae of the "empress dowager's illness" last time. Seeing the old dowager doctor was too frightened, so he waved his hand without embarrassing him: "Go !"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The imperial physician bowed immediately.

He led Liu Yun forward and wiped Liu Fang's tears. Liu Chengyou said to him, "Didn't you say that you want to be a hero? Heroes don't shed tears easily."

Hearing this, Liu Fang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhe Congruan, who was lying lifeless on the couch, his crying tone subsided, but tears still flowed out.

"The deceased is gone! Mr. Zhe also passed away peacefully, please mourn!" Sighing deeply, Liu Chengyou squatted down, caressing Mrs. Zhe.

Zhe Niang immediately turned around and threw herself into Liu Chengyou's arms, tears slowly soaked his skirt.After a lot of difficulty, he just comforted her and personally helped her out of the room.

"Zhao Pu!" Liu Chengyou called out in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty orders!" Zhao Pu, who was following in front of the imperial court, hurriedly responded.

"Zhede is willing to be in Heyang!" Liu Chengyou said.

"Yes!"

Zhe De Yuan was Zhe Cong Ruan's second son. After the reorganization of the Fuzhou Army, he was transferred to Heyang to serve as the envoy of the Three Cities Army.Liu Chengyou directly ordered: "Immediately fly to the post, let Zhede come to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with the funeral, and send someone to the north to inform the country's abbot Zhede!"

Then, he glanced at Zhao Pu again, and said, "You stay in the mansion, and before Zhe Deyuan arrives in Beijing, you will be in charge of the funeral for the time being!"

"Yes!" Zhao Pugong replied, although his expression was solemn, but there was inevitably a little joy in his heart.

For Zhao Pu, this is a good job. If it is done well, it will not only please Yu Jun, but also win the favor of Concubine Zhexian and Zheshi.Of course, in this case, this joy cannot be expressed.

When Yu Jia set off to return to the palace, the Duke Dai's mansion had already hung white cloths and held up white banners, and under Zhao Pu's arrangement, he was busy with the funeral.When the mourning sounded, the news also spread. Soon after the ruling and opposition officials and people gathered together, the big man folded another old minister.

On the car back to the palace, Liu Chengyou gently embraced Zhe Niangzi, and said in a warm voice: "You are inconvenient, so it is not appropriate to be overjoyed and sad. I will also feel uncomfortable when Zhe Gong goes away. Don't worry, the funeral will be taken care of, and I will do the same." After the death of Lord Zhe, I will be mourned."

Hearing Liu Chengyou's desire to comfort, Zhe Niang moved her head, her face was still pressed against Liu Chengyou's chest, she raised her head, looked at him with slightly red and swollen eyes, and said softly: "Thank you, the official!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was a little surprised.

Zhe Niangzi said: "Finally, I saw my grandfather for the last time!"

"Then I almost made you regret it!" Liu Chengyou gently rubbed Zhe Niangzi's shoulder.According to Zhe Congruan's situation, if she didn't hear some news, she would probably receive the funeral report directly, let alone see her for the last time.

"Grandpa was a hero all his life, his lintel was glorious, and he left a blessing to his descendants. Even if he passed away, I don't think he would have any regrets in his heart!" Zha Niang was indeed a woman, even though she still couldn't help but feel sad, her mood had obviously calmed down.

Listening to his words, Liu Chengyou also relieved a lot.

For Zhe Congruan's death, the people of Tokyo are no strangers to it. At this level, no one will speculate with "conspiracy theories".In comparison, the impact of Zhe Congruan's death is greater, and the commotion it will cause is also greater.

One is in Tokyo; the other is Zhefei's grandfather, the backbone of Zhejia's influence.The influence of Zhecong Ruan's death directly extended to the palace.

Just like when Gao Xingzhou passed away, Gao Guifei's waist was not so hard.The difference from the Gao family is that after Gao Xingzhou passed, the person in charge was Gao Huaide, and Zhe Cong Ruan died. The Zhe family still has Zhe Dejian and Zhe Deyuan, two brothers who support the field together, and Zhe Niang has more children.But what is certain is that the threat felt by Fu Hou has gone a lot.

As for Zhe Congruan's funeral, it was also arranged in an extremely grand manner, and all the officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing went to express their condolences.A series of honors and rewards after death, the standards are not low. Liu Chengyou pursued him as the king of Baode County, added [-] households in Shiyi, and Zhede took over as the Duke.At the same time, Hu Zai, a Hanlin scholar, wrote the Shinto inscriptions for him. Hu Zai has outstanding literary talents. He was selected as Jingfan Shuwen before and became famous in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Zhe Congruan's death can be regarded as the end of the series of death of old minister Xungui in the winter of Qianyou's eighth year.From then on, until the ninth year of Qianyou, there was no major funeral.Otherwise, if one or two princes Zhu Guo died, Liu Chengyou might ask Chen Tuan to enter the palace to exorcise evil spirits.
In February of the ninth year of Qianyou, Emperor Han ordered a northern tour, accompanied by the empress, imperial concubine, concubine Ning and the four eldest sons, accompanied by the prime minister Wei Renpu, and [-] armored guards from the Great Internal Army and the Longqi Army.

In Kaifeng in February, catkins are flying every now and then, and spring is everywhere, and the whole city seems to have recovered from the sorrow of last winter.

In front of the gate of the north palace, the emperor's ceremonial guard is already prepared and ready to go at any time.Under the leadership of prime ministers Li Tao and Fan Zhi, all officials sent off Liu Chengyou respectfully.

A bright imperial robe looked a little dazzling under the spring sun, and what was even brighter was the somewhat unpredictable smile on the corner of Liu Chengyou's mouth.

Looking at the two chancellors, Liu Chengyou said leisurely: "Li Qing, Fan Qing, I'm afraid this tour to the north will take a long time, and I will trouble the two of you to take care of the political affairs in the court!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely do their best and dare not give up!" Li Tao responded with a bow.

"Li Qing has served in the government for nearly ten years. He has great expectations and thoughtful considerations. Of course, I can rest assured!" Liu Chengyou let out several hearty laughter.

He looked at Chai Rong again, and pointed his finger to the southwest: "Qing Chai, the burden on your shoulders is not light! I hope that when I return to Beijing, preparations will be made for the southwest matter!"

"I understand!" Chai Rong's expression was as solemn and calm as usual.

"So, I can rest assured to go north!" Liu Chengyou smiled.

This northern tour is different from the usual tours and personal expeditions. Liu Chengyou did not specially arrange a person who supervised the country, and completely delegated the power to his officials. What kind of operation.

Going to Luanjia, following the departure order, the northern tour team slowly started. After seven years, Liu Chengyou embarked on the northern tour again.
