I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 461
After bidding farewell to Li Ran, Kong Qiu got into the carriage and, escorted by Zilu, drove to Qufu.

Li Ran kept watching until the carriage disappeared.

Only then did Li Ran return to the city, and now the city of Yunyi was bleak.

Marquis Lu is gone, the garrisons of Qi and Jin have all withdrawn, and the so-called "rebels" have gone their separate ways.Only the original people in the city have not returned yet.

And all that was left were the offensive and defensive equipment hanging on the top of the city and scattered scattered on the outside of the city. It seemed that they were the only ones who had witnessed everything in the past.

When Li Ran arrived at his official residence, he first asked the doctor about Ji Le's condition.

It can be said that Yihe has exhausted his brains these days, encouraging and maintaining Jiyue's life.

Although he has superb medical skills, he can't change his fate against the sky after all.Regarding the situation of Jiyue, he was also a little helpless, he could only do his best.

Li Ran was also grateful to see him working so hard on his beloved wife's illness.

However, when Yihe faced Li Ran's questioning, he couldn't help being silent for a while:
"Young master, the young lady's illness has already entered her body, and her internal organs are all damaged. I am afraid it will be difficult to heal. If Madam has any unfulfilled wish, if it can be resolved, it will be a relief, or it will be beneficial to her condition... "

Hearing these words, Li Ran felt a chill in his heart.

"Could it be... is there nothing Mr. Lian can do?"

Yihe sighed again and didn't reply.

With his mind completely cleared, Li Ran came to Ji Le's side. When he saw her, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth:
"As Le'er wished, Ji Sun is dead, and Zhong Ni has now gone to Qufu. If all goes well, why don't we go to Qufu together, and then let Fan Li bring Guang'er to Qufu together, and then the three of us will be happy." We can meet in Qufu! Madam, what do you think?"

Ji Le's dull eyes couldn't help but brighten up, with joy from the bottom of his heart:
"If that's the case, then...it's really great."

Li Ran couldn't help but feel sore when he saw Jiyue like this.But in front of Ji Le, he still had to pretend nothing happened.

……

Kong Qiu also hurried, and finally came to Qufu, Yang Hu heard the news, he went directly to welcome him into the city gate, and wanted to take him directly to Ji's mansion, the two sat opposite each other in the carriage.

Kong Qiu smiled slightly, and cupped hands with Yang Hu:
"Congratulations Brother Yang!"

Yang Hu shook his head with a smile:

"Hehe, this matter has not been successful yet, and I still need to get Zhongni to help me!"

"I don't know what's next, brother Yang's plan?"

Hearing Kong Qiu's question, Yang Hu couldn't help being silent for a moment, then raised his head and said:
"Everyone in the world says that brother Zhongni is very familiar with the rites of Zhou, and he once asked about the rites in the Zhou family. It is presumed that brother Zhongni must be a man full of knowledge, and there are few people in the world who can match him. I invite brother Zhongni to come here today to see if I can do it." Or at Jisun Yiru's funeral, you can find some excuses..."

In the last sentence, Yang Hu lowered his words, but Kong Qiu heard them clearly.

He hesitated for a while, and then said with a smile:

"Even if Ji Sun Yiru can do it well, how can others not do it? How can you repay your kindness with kindness? Qiu is willing to follow this fate!"

After all, Kong Qiu was actually on Lu Zhaogong's side from beginning to end. Now that Lu Zhaogong has passed away, his desire for revenge can be said to be extremely strong.

Besides, this move also has the effect of suppressing Sanhuan and advocating the public office. Confucius naturally has no reason to refuse this.

Yang Hu brought Kong Qiu to Ji Sun Yiru's mourning hall, and Ji Sun Yiru had already entered the coffin at this moment.And when Confucius arrived at this time, it was also approaching the day of his burial (scholars and bureaucrats were buried in three days, and buried in March), so all his funeral objects were piled aside.

After all, Confucius was a man of propriety, even though he was facing Jisun Yiru, he still worshiped him respectfully, and together with his disciple Zilu, he personally tied a straw man as a funeral object.

Just when Confucius was about to place the grass man in the mourning hall, he suddenly discovered a piece of jade on the side of the mourning hall.

"Huh? Isn't this piece of jade..."

Because Confucius had entered the palace many times when Lu Zhaogong was still in Qufu, he could tell at a glance that this jade fan was a thing in the palace.

Kong Qiu remembered this in his heart, and remained calm. After the worship was over, Kong Qiu and Yang Hu came to the secret room together, and Kong Qiu told Yang Hu about Yu Fan.

But Yang Hu still didn't seem to understand.

"That Yu Fan...was originally Ji Sun Yiru's belongings, what's the name for it?"

"Yu Fan is the burial object of the princes. As the Qing family, if the Ji family is buried with him, it is inconsistent with the etiquette. This injustice can be used to confirm his arrogance?"

When Yang Hu heard the words, he couldn't help but suddenly realized, and said with a smile:

"Exactly! Exactly! This object was originally Ji Sun Yiru's favorite object, and Hu originally planned to use it as a burial object. However, he never expected that there would be such exquisiteness in it! In this case, Then this matter can be publicized a lot!"

Confucius thought for a while, then said:

"In addition, we can also arrange for the coffin bearers to walk the seven steps of the emperor when he is buried. In this way, everyone will witness Ji's funeral that does not conform to the etiquette!"

Yang Hu burst into laughter again when he heard the words:
"Sure enough! Sure enough! Guanzi Yuguo did not deceive me! It is really wonderful to ask Zhongni to come to help! Alright, Hu will arrange it now!"

Yang Hu has full power to organize Ji Sun Yiru's funeral, and now that the burial is imminent, those who will carry the coffin have already made preparations, and Yang Hu will tell them the steps to carry the coffin one by one.

However, those Confucianists all looked at each other in blank dismay. Most of them felt that this was inappropriate, but since the master requested it so, they would not raise any objections.

The next day, Yang Hu came to the mourning hall again, staring at the piece of 玙璠 that had been placed prominently in the middle of the hall, thinking about how to bury it with great fanfare.

Zhongliang Huai accompanied him, seeing that Yang Hu was in a daze at Yu Fan, and also heard that the pace of the burial had been changed, and now Yang Hu is in this situation again.

Zhongliang Huai calculated these two things together, and couldn't help but be surprised.

In a hurry, he didn't have to think about it, but he went straight forward, grabbed Ping Fan and was about to run out!

This time, it can be said that it was completely beyond Yang Hu's expectation.

When he reacted, Zhongliang Huai had already rushed out with Xuan Fan, and Yang Hu led his men to chase him immediately, and stopped him at the gate.

Zhongliang Huai saw that he could not escape, so he raised Yu Fan high above his head, and shouted loudly:

"Yanghu stay here! Otherwise, I will destroy this thing!"

Because Zhongliang Huai was outside Jifu, his loud shout directly attracted the crowd of onlookers.

Seeing this, Yang Hu didn't dare to step forward to argue, so he stopped in his tracks and angrily reprimanded:
"Zhongliang Huai! What are you going to do?"

At this time, the people from Jifu heard the news and rushed over, and surrounded the scene.

Zhongliang Huai held his head high and said:
"As the most trusted housekeeper of the First Lord, you are also fully in charge of this funeral, but you have repeatedly tried to trap the First Lord in injustice. What is your intention?! Unless you publicly promise to change your steps, Deny Zhong Mou and never back down!"

Seeing that there are many people surrounded here, Yang Hu couldn't do anything about Zhongliang, so he could only swallow his anger and say:
"The first master's bones are not yet cold, we are all Ji's retainers, don't mess around! If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Hmph! The burial of Yu Fan is a ceremony for princes, and there are seven steps of burial, which is a gift for the emperor! Both of these are not in line with the identity of the former master. What do you want to do, Yanghu?!"

Yang Hu took a deep breath.

"Zhongliang Huai, the late master used to take charge of the emperor's affairs before his death. Now he is buried with the ceremony of the king. Why not? Besides, this is the most beloved thing of the late master. What's wrong with burying it with you? You are so obvious. It's nonsense!"

Zhongliang Huai couldn't help but sneered again when he heard the words:
"Hmph! Although the First Lord acted on behalf of the emperor, it was only a 'report' after all. As a subject, how can he be buried with the ceremony of the emperor?! Zhong is not messing around here, you go ask Jifu Up and down, if you act like this, how many people will have no words?"

When the people around heard Zhongliang Huai say this, they couldn't help but start talking about it.They all felt that Ji's trespassing on the burial ceremony was really wrong.

Of course, there are also some members of the Ji clan who feel that it is okay to give the Patriarch such specifications.

Yang Hu glanced at everyone, knowing that if he insisted on going his own way, he would throw stones at his feet instead.

So, he had to laugh out loud on the spot.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look confused.After Yang Hu laughed, he only heard him say:
"Before the late Lord passed away, he only hoped that he would be buried with dignity, and Tiger just wanted to fulfill the late Lord's last wish. But he didn't know that this would be considered offensive. If Master Zhong hadn't reminded him, Tiger would have almost caused a catastrophe ah!"

"Hmph! Even if the scenery is beautiful, it must be done in moderation. How can you be so presumptuous?! This is a disaster for my Ji family. If the former master is here, it will definitely not be like this!"

Zhong Liang Huai was neither humble nor overbearing, he still called out loudly.
