serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 64
At this time, the capital city has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, there are few pedestrians on the street, and those who are seen by chance are also in a hurry.

The news that the eldest son and two grandsons of the Royal Envoy were killed shocked the entire capital, and then the news of Chen Yejun's suicide and the Meridian Gate was like a gust of wind blowing all over the capital, and all the officials and relatives in the city were worried.

Just as the whole city was in shock, bad news came from the street outside Di'anmen. The servants of the nobles smashed all the pawnshops on Gulou West Street and the pawnshops on several other streets where there were civil servants. , and even set the Pei family's pawnshop on fire. Fortunately, the people in the pawnshop are fine.

For a time, the city was full of wind and rain.

A coffin shed had already been set up in front of Nanyang uncle's mansion, a gust of wind blew by, and the coffins inside and outside the coffin shed rattled.

The mourning hall was set up in the main hall of the Nanyang Uncle's Mansion, and there were hundreds of people standing in the dark. Except for the king of Nan'an and others who were unable to come in person because they were leading the army, all the heads of the founding family came to the door in person.

On the altar in front of the coffin are the tablets of everyone in the Chen family!
Nanyang Bofu is extinct!
The old housekeeper in filial piety knelt there numbly.

Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian stood on both sides of the altar with white belts around their waists.

Yizhong County King, Dongping County King, Xining County King, Beijing King, Nan'an County Prince's son, Liu Fang and others stood solemnly in front of the coffin.

Qin Tianjian Yinyang Division followed the emperor's order to choose a date, and chose to stop the spirit for 21 days.On the 21st, one hundred and eight Zen monks were invited to worship the Great Compassionate Repentance in the altar to save the souls of the dead for Chen Yejun.Another altar was set up in the ancestral hall, and 99 Quanzhen Taoist priests were invited to make sacrifices to cleanse their karma.

At this time, the housekeeper of Yizhong County Prince's Mansion hurried over and said to Yizhong County King: "My lord, all the Zen monks of Daxiangguo Temple were invited by the civil servants to Pei's house."

Everyone was shocked, and many people became excited again, shouting:

"Too deceiving!"

"You shouldn't have handed over the head of that evil species!"

"What are they trying to do?!"

There was a commotion outside the door, and the housekeeper of the Beijing Prince's Mansion came in sweaty, and said to Prince Shuirong of Beijing, "My lord, the old gods and priests of the Qingxu Temple were blocked by the civil servants at the Xuanwu Gate. .”

The courtyard immediately exploded, and the nobles immediately shouted:
"The old man deceives people too much!"

"A bunch of little people!"

"Look for them to settle accounts!"

"Yes! New and old accounts will be settled together today."

Water soluble: "Quiet!"

The voice slowly died down.

Shui Rong cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Returning the head is the greatest consolation for the deceased, and it is also a respect for the Supreme Emperor's will. Only with awe in mind can we stop what we do."

Then he turned to Liu Fang and said, "Grandfather, we have already done what we should do, but we can no longer back down on this matter, one step at a time, one step at a time."

Liu Fang nodded.

Shui Rong turned to the crowd and said, "Last year, the civil servants plotted against the Jia family and the Beijing camp, and now they ignore the human nature of 'the dead are the most important'. These difficulties and provocations are aimed at a certain family on the surface, but they are actually directed at our founding of the country. The honorable lineage. You can't just sit and wait for death like this, you must fight back with force."

Niu Jizong: "What do you say?"

King Yizhong also spoke: "We listen to you."

Shui Rong: "Since these civil servants can put down their faces like this, we don't have anything to worry about. Usually they always say that nobles are warriors, they don't pay attention to etiquette, and don't understand etiquette. Then let's let them try martial arts fist, let them know that our nobles are not lambs to be bullied, let alone a mess of loose sand."

Yizhong County King's eyes lit up: "That's right, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone" He stopped at this point.

When everyone heard what the two of them said, they fell silent immediately, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became a little heavy.

Jia Hu looked at Shui Rong, and then at King Yizhong. At this time, his heart was clear, the two had discussed it, and they wanted to use this matter to unite the nobles, show off their muscles and show their strength to the emperor.

This is a perfect replica of Qin Keqing's funeral!

Not to mention Yizhong County King, he was already in the whirlpool, and doing so might make the emperor fearful and dare not touch him easily.

But Shui Rong's water is deep, maybe his assassination is really related to him!
Moreover, this kid is ruthless. Up to now, nearly ten thousand people have been arrested, and almost all of them have been sent to repair the city wall and the Great Wall pass.

Seeing that no one spoke, the face of Yizhong County King was a little ugly.

Shui Rong still had the expression of happiness and anger, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Jia Hu: "Daoist Zhang used to be the substitute of Duke Xianrong, and later he became the "Daolu Division" In the main hall, the Supreme Emperor proclaimed him the "Great Illusion Immortal", and now he holds the seal of "Daolu Division", and the current Holy Majesty has granted him the title of "End Realm". No more than average.

He was invited by my king, and he can't stand idly by in public or private!However, this king is single and weak, so please ask your elder brother to send someone to help. "

Jia Hu: "Oh? Hearing what the lord said, I really have to pay respects to this old fairy. However, I have a bad temper and a bit of a temper. If there is a quarrel, I can't help giving them a red knife." Go in and the white knife comes out.

I don't care, I'm afraid of disturbing the prince's affairs.But don't worry, my lord, I will personally take someone to protect you to Xuanwumen. When the time comes, I will kill whoever you say. "

As he spoke, he slapped his chest loudly.

Shui Rong saw that Jia Hu's words were impeccable, and knew that it was impossible for Jia Hu to stand out, so he said to everyone: "The most important thing right now is to take over the old gods and Taoist priests of Qingxu Temple, and then go to Pei's house One hundred and eight Zen monks are invited to practice deeds and save the souls of the dead."

Hearing what he said, everyone immediately relaxed a lot, and many nodded in agreement.

Shui Rong went on to say: "Everyone is honorable, so we should help and support each other. I was weak since I was a child, and I couldn't practice martial arts. So I need a few skilled people to lead the family members outside the door to invite people. "

Jia Hu roared, "Bring my knife!"

The corner of Shui Rong's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and hurriedly said: "Brother Shi, please stay here with the two county kings and the old Duke."

Jia Hu took the knife from Lin San and hung it on his waist: "Don't worry, my lord, I know it well, I won't fight with them."

Shui Rong was slightly taken aback, Chang Shi and others commented on Jia Hu as brutal and bloodthirsty, which can be seen from the assassination case, he really couldn't believe what Jia Hu said, even if Jia Hu didn't kill those civil servants, he would kill A few servants are enough to keep me busy.

Liu Fang finally spoke: "You don't want to go, it's not good if things become too much trouble."

Shui Rong ordered generals immediately: "Uncle Niu, Marquis Jing Tian, ​​Uncle Jin Xiang, General Feng, and Young Master Wei Ruolan." Then he asked the Prince of Nan'an County, "Brother?"

Prince Nan'an County: "My lord, please!" He said and gave up his hand.

The kings of Dongping County and Xining County said together: "Try not to cause trouble."

"Yeah." Shui Rong led a few people out.

Xiaokang, the hereditary first-class heir of Duke Xiuguo's mansion, sighed, "It's another storm!"

Duke Dongping, Prince Xining and Liu Fang looked at each other with anxiety in their eyes.

Qianqing Palace, go to the study.

Emperor Jianwu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant sky. The death of Chen Yejun brought him great trouble. What happened is equivalent to directly slapping the nobles, making them vigilant again.

Don't look at the current nobles as if they are scattered, but if they are united, they will still be a terrifying existence.So we can't push them into a hurry, we can only slowly strip away their power and weaken their influence in the army bit by bit.

Thinking of Wang Ziteng again, his face darkened suddenly. After so long, with the convenience of his status, he still couldn't solve the matter in Datong Town, waste.

At this moment, the chief eunuch of the Criminal Division hurried in.

Emperor Jianwu: "What's wrong?"

The eunuch: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the Prince of Beijing, the Prince of Nan'an County, Niu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Jing Tianhou, Jin Xiangbo, General Shenwu, and Wei Ruolan, the son of Wei Rugui, the commander-in-chief of Southern Xinjiang, are leading hundreds of soldiers of all kinds. The servants of the mansion beat the officials who blocked Xuanwumen, not only that, even the Xuncheng Yushi who went to dissuade him was also beaten."

Emperor Jianwu: "What else?"

"They also plan to go to Pei's house to invite one hundred and eight Zen monks to Nanyang Bo's mansion to worship the Great Compassion Repentance and save the dead soul for Chen Yejun."

Emperor Jianwu heaved a sigh of relief, as long as no one was killed or the people were harassed, let them make trouble.

This matter can only be muddled like this.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Dai Quan came over and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine invites you to Daming Palace, and the Supreme Emperor is also invited."

"Oh?"

Emperor Jianwu turned his face and thought for a moment: "Let's go to Daming Palace!"
