The General and His Enemy Your Highness

The next day, the Xiping Palace held a funeral and buried 23 coffins, all of which were clothes tombs.

Since Mei Geng's return to Lin'an, the Xiping Palace, which has been neglected since Mei Geng's return to Lin'an, is once again full of people because of Mei Geng's title as king. The custom of Chu State is that a banquet must be held on the day of the burial. King Xiping, who took office as an official, drew closer.

The incense in the mourning hall lasted until night, and most of the dignitaries and dignitaries were present at the banquet. Fortunately, it was a funeral banquet. Mei Geng was not drunk much, and his expression was always stern. He responded to the temptations or hints of the courtiers in an orderly manner, and his words and deeds were calm. Like a teenager, many old foxes suffered a lot.

A funeral feast did not come to an end until nightfall.

Most of the guests left, and the remaining few were the ministers and family members who were on good terms with the palace. Among them were Lu Zhibei's father, Lu Baiyan, the current Taiwei, and Feng Sunan and his father, Pingguo Duke Fengjin.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Lu Zhibei said in a deep voice, "Yu Yi didn't come, he must have been locked at home."

They all know the situation of the Yongdinghou Mansion. The old Marquis doted on his concubine and killed his wife. After the death of his first wife, he helped his concubine's house. As a result, Yu Yi, the long-sick son, has no status. Besides, the Yongding Hou Mansion has never had much to do with the Xiping Palace. , now he doesn't even bother to do face-saving things, it can be seen that he wants to draw a clear line.

Mei Geng knew very well that both Lu Zhibei and Feng Sunan looked bad, presumably because of this.

"Shut up nonsense."

Lu Baiyan frowned and reprimanded, although the veteran is old, he still has black hair and black beard, is strong and tall, the fierceness in his brows looks calm and majestic, and his face does not change, "Yongding Hou's mansion is not the same as you, it is best to have less involvement. "

It's not that he doesn't like Yu Yi, but his position is different.

Lu Zhibei and his father were used to being at odds, so he immediately retorted: "He and the Yongding Houfu are not the same!"

"What Zhibei said is true." Mei Geng interrupted the dispute between the father and son lightly.

It is said that military generals are clumsy in speech, not as eloquent as civil servants, but the Lu family father and son are different -- if they are allowed to quarrel like this, they will quarrel for three days and three nights.

"If Yu Yi gets the Marquis's Mansion, won't he be a stranger from now on?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of Mei Geng's lips, but there was a bit of coldness in his eyes.

Lu Baiyan was startled, and exchanged glances with Feng Jin.

Pingguo Gongfeng Jinda has the demeanor of a Confucian general, lightly stroked his gray beard, and smiled peacefully, "Your junior, you have some courage, but it is difficult for me to intervene in the family affairs of the Yongding Houfu."

"Mrs. Yongding Hou is just the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and her son Yu Lan is extremely favored." Mei Geng smiled, but spoke harshly and coldly, "If he dies, the Hou Mansion will be Yu Yi's." .”

Not to mention the two juniors, even Feng Jin and Lu Baiyan were speechless for a moment, the two old guys looked at each other, and a thought popped up in their hearts at the same time—this kid is cruel enough to say that he wants to take someone's life so lightly.

But Mei Geng really thought about it, and his tone was serious, it didn't sound like a joke at all.

Lu Baiyan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Gui who came in a hurry, Qin Gui's expression was extremely bad, "My lord, Wang Taifei invites you to the mourning hall."

The mourning hall can only be evacuated the day after the funeral banquet, and condolences are still in the mourning hall. Lu Zhibei and Feng Sunan, two younger generations, went with Mei Geng. On the way, they heard Qin Gui tell the story with a cold face.

It turned out that the young master of the Lin family and the second son of his concubine came to offer incense, but the young master threw the incense on the white silk, was extremely rude, and even uttered nonsense in the mourning hall, Su Jing asked Qin Gui to find Mei Geng .

Before entering the door, someone sneered arrogantly and sneered from a distance: "A boy who has been defeated in a battle still has the face to become a hereditary king. If it were me, he would kill himself in front of the palace gate to apologize."

Lu Zhibei and Feng Sunan are silent, this young master Lin is the youngest son of the Minister of Rites, he usually has nothing to do, except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, he is ignorant, not to mention committing suicide, he may not even be able to lift a knife.

Mei Geng sneered in his heart, he remembered that this young master didn't have a long life, with such an attitude, he couldn't be a match for his second brother.
