Chapter 84 Zhao Xu Who Wants to Eat One Fish
Wang Gui's death was a farce, a joke, and even a feast to the outside world.

For the Wang family, this is a complete disaster!

Wang Gui is dead.

The Wang family had no room to stand up.

Wang Zhongxiu was dressed in filial piety and knelt in front of Wang Guiling.

The huge mourning hall was empty.

Since Wang Gui's death, even the maids originally hired by the Wang family have run away.

Those Yuan Sui assigned by the court all fell ill at once.

Only those servants of the Wang family remained in the Wang family, assisting Wang Zhongxiu in dealing with the funeral.

"A guest has arrived!" Si Yan's voice came from outside the door.

Wang Zhongxiu looked up in surprise, and saw a familiar figure walking in with a little girl in his arms.

"Uncle Wen..." Wang Zhongxiu opened his mouth and looked at the brother-in-law who was dressed in a simple and even shabby way. He lowered his head and bowed to the guests seriously: "I didn't expect Uncle Wen to come. of!"

This brother-in-law had always been looked down upon by Wang Zhongxiu in the past, and he ridiculed him many times, but he was actually a nerd with too rigid a mind.

Therefore, since Wang Zhongxiu's miserable sister died of illness last year, he has never been to Wang's house again.

But he didn't expect that at this time, the one who could come to see his father off was this ex-brother-in-law who had no relationship with the Wang family.

The visitor put the little girl in his arms on the ground.

Then look at the God Lord Wang Gui in the mourning hall, and look at the words on it: You Pushe, the former Shangshu of the Emperor Song Dynasty, and the God Lord of the Duke of Xun, the prince, and the old man.

In addition, inside and outside the mourning hall, there is no majesty and solemnity that a prime minister should have after his death.

The emperor never came to mourn in person.

The two palaces also did not express anything.

Yousi pretended not to know that a prime minister had died in Song Dynasty.

I didn't see any elegiac speeches or elegiac couplets from celebrities, colleagues and ministers.

Not to mention, the Shinto stele bestowed by the royal family.

The Wang family is like a plague in Bianjing city, and everyone avoids it for fear of being too late.

The man sighed, stepped forward, picked up a stick of incense, and bowed respectfully to Wang Gui's altar three times.

Then he said to the little girl he was carrying: "Qingzhao, come, offer incense to your grandfather, and ask him to bless you in safety and grow up healthy and healthy!"

The little girl was very young, at most two years old. She was wearing a plain white dress and her hair was loose on her head.

Under the guidance of her father, she obediently bowed to the god's amulet.

"So good!" The man patted his daughter's head lovingly, then walked up to Wang Zhongxiu, and said in a deep voice, "Take care! My condolences!"

Then he hugged his daughter and left the mourning hall.

His wife died shortly after the birth of their daughter.

In theory, he is no longer related to the Wang family.

However, he was still grateful for Wang Gui's kindness in marrying his eldest daughter to him as a poor boy with blue eyes.

So, now that Wang Gui is dead, he comes to offer incense and worship.He also brought his daughter to offer incense to his grandfather whom he had never met.

Wang Zhongxiu stared blankly at the back of his sister-in-law going away.

He looked at the scene inside and outside the mourning hall again.

He knew that he should be interesting.

After the father's first seven days, he quickly took his coffin and returned to his hometown with the help of the coffin.

Otherwise, it would be shameless.

He also forced the empress dowager in the palace to strip off the last bit of face from his father.

At that time, even the title of former Prime Minister Xie Guogong will not be reserved for him and his family.

……

Funing Hall.

Zhao Xu moved his body in the hall as usual.

He planned and slowly increased his daily activity and exercise time according to his body.

Now, the daily exercise time has increased to a quarter of an hour.

For Zhao Xu, it's not just about exercising and enhancing the body's resistance and immunity.

It was also an opportunity for Feng Jing to report to him various things big and small in Bianjing.

"Zuo Xiang Wang Gui is at home today...It is said that except for a former son-in-law, no one came to the door..."

Feng Jing followed Zhao Xu in the hall while lowering his head and talking.

Zhao Xu just listened, expressionless.

But Feng Jing knew that everyone was listening, and they listened very seriously, and even wrote it down.

The evidence is that people sometimes mention his name in front of the two palaces.

Although it was very rare, Feng Jing knew that this was the reward.

"I heard that the son-in-law of the Wang family is called Li Kefei, who is from Qizhou. He was a Jinshi in the Bingchen List in the ninth year of Xining...now he is an official in Taixue..."

Zhao Xu still just listened.

Then Feng Jing knew that everyone was not interested in this, so he immediately changed the subject: "It is said that there is still a censor at the Yushitai, who only conferred on Wang Gui a counselor to clarify the evidence of his guilt, but allowed the Wang family to still use the 'so prime minister'. , Shangshu Youpushe, Duke Xun are a little dissatisfied. Some people feel that allowing the Wang family to return to the countryside with the title of "Old Prime Minister" for burial is already a mighty blessing. To return the various rewards bestowed by the emperor..."

Zhao Xu finally spoke: "Playing the piano randomly!"

If the Wang family is now stripped of their title of Duke, the Daxing Emperor's reward will be returned.

Then the Wang family will cut their tails to survive, and return to their hometown with a small amount of wealth.

But if the Wang family can retain the title of duke and the reward from the Daxing emperor, then they can bring back most of their property under the protection of the imperial power.

A descendant of the offended prime minister who offended the empress dowager, and a descendant of a rebellious minister who was deemed to have two ends of the yin and disregarded righteousness during the process of the new king's accession to the throne.

He returned to his hometown with a wealth of millions or even more.

One year, two years, maybe it will be safe.

Three years, five years?

The county magistrate who broke the family, and the magistrate who destroyed the family!
Officials in the Great Song Dynasty like this kind of family that is rich and rich, but has no ability to resist.

This is fat!

The pack of wolves would surround them and try their best to tear the Wang family into pieces, swallowing the last bit of meat in their stomachs.

In this way, does Zhao Xu still need to do something?

No need!
Even Zhao Xu could wait for the Wang family to die before shedding a drop of crocodile tears.

"Who killed my father, emperor and ministers?"

Then, a set of house raiding procedures was carried out, and the swallowed wealth was returned to the internal treasury with interest.

You can also take the opportunity to reap another wave of popularity-even if a criminal like Wang Gui, the Son of Heaven, can tolerate and uphold it, let alone us?
This is called one fish and one food!
But if he strikes too hard now, it will be like what Zhao Xu did in his last life.

The Wang family will become tasteless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard.

On the contrary, it may leave a glimmer of life for the Wang family!
Give them a chance to make a comeback.

Feng Jing bowed his head deeply.

Zhao Xu took a deep look at Feng Jing, and said to him: "However, Yushi Zhongcheng's yellow shoes, and father's thighs are also, I think he will definitely be able to do this well!"

"Feng Jing, what do you think?"

Feng Jing bowed deeply.

He understood everyone's meaning - you can find a way by yourself, inform Huang Lu, let him know what I mean.

The holy will is clear.

Feng Jing knew that this was the time to test him.

　Note: According to the epitaph discovered by archaeologists, it can be determined that Li Kefei's first wife and Li Qingzhao's biological mother is Wang Gui's eldest daughter, not Wang Gongchen's granddaughter as has been guessed.

　　So some people say that Li Kefei should be the granddaughter of Wang Gongchen who was married later.
