An old lady's life

When Lou Gao and the others saw the emperor coming in, they immediately moved out of the way. Lin Nuan and Tang Yuyi also retreated to the end of the bed, leaving enough space for the emperor and Commander Wu to talk.

Commander Wu really has only a few breaths left. He is waiting for the arrival of the emperor. He has been loyal to the emperor all his life. Of course, he and the emperor have mutual benefit and mutual assistance. Before he died, he thought of this life. Commander Wu will not regret it , On the contrary, he is very grateful to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and salute." Commander Wu's eyes began to slacken, and the hands placed by his sides were completely exhausted, so he could only try to see the person coming.

Emperor Changping took a few steps forward, walked to the bed, held Commander Wu's hand tightly, bent slightly, and looked at Commander Wu with deep eyes.

"I won't hold you accountable for your rudeness." Emperor Changping said in a calm tone as much as possible, but he couldn't help but close his eyes when he lost his voice.

Commander Wu coughed, his chest heaved violently, and after a while he murmured: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Emperor Changping looked away, closed his eyes again, opened them just now and said: "Wu Xiao, you can go at ease, wait on the Naihe bridge, we will be real good brothers in the next life."

Commander Wu clasped Emperor Changping's hand with both hands, and grinned, "Okay, good brother!" His vision became more and more blurred, the room was too quiet, and unspeakable sadness filled the room. He couldn't see his disciples clearly.

Suddenly, a few cries of children came from outside the house, especially the cries of Wu Xi, who was less than three years old, became louder and louder, calling his grandfather in his small mouth, and howling loudly.

Wu Xi's crying caused other children to cry, and the children followed Wu Xi and cried.

Commander Wu showed a gratified smile, stretched out his hand and grasped Emperor Changping's hand, and said, "Feng Zhang, don't be so tired in the future, spend more time with the princes and grandchildren, Xixiyue and the others are so cute."

After saying this, Emperor Changping stared at the two hands holding his hand, the picture slowed down, they drooped drop by drop, and then slowly lost their temperature.

Lou Gao and Yong fifteen people suppressed and cried out: "Master!" Accompanied by the sound of kneeling on the ground, Lin Nuan, Wan Miaoniang and other apprentices and daughters-in-law also knelt down, and the sleeping children came in from outside , saw the parents kneeling on the ground, and felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit tense. The older children had already figured it out, so they immediately brought their younger siblings to kneel behind their parents.

Emperor Changping put Commander Wu's hands into the quilt, he stood up slowly, glanced at the people in the room, and muttered: "Let's mourn!"

As for their responsibilities, Lou Gao and Yu Yang escorted Emperor Changping to the gate of the Wu residence, and handed over to Feng Yu again. They saw that under the snowy sky and night, the long line of people and horses disappeared without a trace, leaving only deep footprints and ruts in the snow. .

Zhaojun Prince's Mansion, Zhaojun Wang had just washed up and went to bed under the service of the princess, but was called up by his subordinates before he fell asleep.

"My lord, Commander Wu has passed away." Wang Minglang said outside the house, everything will be quiet, Wang Minglang's voice is not too loud, but it is enough for King Zhaojun and Princess Zhaojun in the inner room to hear.

The maidservant who was watching the night widened her eyes immediately, and the lights in the room had been turned on again. After a while, King Zhaojun opened the door and walked out while dressing. under the back.

"The emperor went out of the palace to meet Commander Wu for the last time. He is already on his way back to the palace. Prince Qi's son will lead the team to escort the emperor back to the palace." Wang Minglang reported the matter while walking.

King Zhaojun nodded: "The relationship between Commander Wu and the emperor is extraordinary. Lou Huwei and the others have to attend the funeral, so the security of the palace during this period can only rely on Feng Yu."

It was really cold when I just came out of the warm blanket.

King Zhaojun and his subordinates talked for a long time in the front study room. It will not be long before dawn. They planned to take a rest for a while. After walking around the room for a few times, they found that they could not sleep. They got up, put on their clothes, and rode to the palace. go.

In fact, speaking of it, he was quite envious of the friendship between his father and Commander Wu. He compared himself, and there was no friend like Commander Wu around him.

But maybe after decades, Wang Minglang and Lu Mingda will also become friends like Commander Wu, but they are different from Commander Wu, and they will never be able to become Commander Wu.

Naturally, King Zhaojun was able to receive the news so quickly, and everyone who cared knew about it, and many men stayed up all night, discussing things in the study.

After dawn, everyone in the capital knew about Commander Wu's death. White banners had been hung up in Wu's residence, and the mourning hall was being prepared.

Here in the Rong Mansion, today is Jia She's holiday. He woke up early in the morning to receive the news. It was both unexpected and unsurprising. The accident was because Commander Wu had persisted for so many years. It was not surprising that he knew that Commander Wu had been ill for a long time. Sooner or later One day he will pass away.

When Hongye was eating breakfast, Jia She came to her mother on purpose, and Hongye knew the news of Commander Wu's death.

"The emperor went to see Commander Wu for the last time last night." Jia She tapped his fingers on the table, frowning and thinking, "Commander Wu is gone, will it affect Lou Huwei and Hao Ding?"

After Hong Ye finished her breakfast, she asked the maid to remove the things from the table. Jia She was still thinking about the problem, and she didn't get a reply from her mother, so she was not in a hurry.

"Of course it has an influence, but there won't be much change in a short period of time, and it will be different after a long time. The most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart. Courtiers and officials have studied the thoughts of the emperor all his life. Everyone wants to be the closest to the emperor. In the past, Commander Wu was a mountain that couldn’t be moved, but after Commander Wu left, Guard Lou and the others will inevitably be tricked. This kind of calculation in the hearts of the people, Guard Lou and the others are hard to guard against. But don’t worry too much, Guard Lou and the others are not Fool, besides, the emperor is not a person who listens and believes."

Jia Amnesty rubbed his hands, the weather is too cold, nodded his head: "Indeed, Guard Lou and the others are no longer isolated from the officialdom. Compared with the previous situation, this situation has advantages and disadvantages. Guard Lou is like the sea. Brother-in-law, no matter what happens, Ruhai will not watch the accident of Lou Huwei. Hao Ding is the son-in-law of the fifth-rank general. They are not related by marriage, so although they can gain the trust of the emperor, this relationship is also dangerous."

Hong Ye looked at Jia She with a smile, this guy could see the inside from the outside.

"Think about why the emperor formed another group of hidden guards? Or is Prince Qi's son the leader? Prince Qi's son is young, only in his twenties, and he is still the emperor's nephew."

Jia Amnesty thought for a long time, and tentatively said, "The emperor doesn't trust Lou to guard them?"

Hong Ye shook her head: "No, if the emperor is surrounded by guards like Lou Huwei and Hao Ding, it will not be conducive to balance."

Jia Amnesty thought about it for a while, and finally understood, Hongye turned to say: "Let Jingshu prepare the funeral ceremony later, and you send it to Wu's residence in person."

Jia Amnesty nodded, there is no doubt about it, his good brother's master passed away, so he naturally had to come to pay homage to Commander Wu in person.

When Jia She arrived at Wu Zhai, the whole Wu Zhai was solemn and solemn. In addition to the cold winter months, the atmosphere was extraordinarily solemn, because the mourning band and the monks who chanted sutras had not yet arrived, so Wu Zhai was relatively quiet.

"Lou Huwei, Yu Huwei...Wei Huwei's mourning and obedience!" In this atmosphere, Jia Amnesty was also a little sentimental. When his father passed away, he was also so helpless.

Lou Gao and the others bowed down to thank Jia Amnesty, handed Jia Amnesty over to Hao Ding for hospitality, and they went to work again.

"Brother Hao, my condolences are changing!" Seeing that Hao Ding's eyes were red and swollen from crying, Jia She patted Hao Ding's shoulder heavily with his palm.

Hao Ding sniffed, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "Thank you, Brother Enhou, for coming to worship Master."

Jia Amnesty shook his head, he couldn't say the extra words of comfort, but put a little more force on Hao Ding's shoulder.While talking, I saw another person coming at the door, but he was still an unknown person.

Hao Ding went up to meet him immediately, and Jia Amnesty was taken to the side hall next to the mourning hall to drink tea by the young servants. After a while, someone came in again, the person Hao Ding greeted just now.

Jia She and he nodded to each other, and then some people came one after another, but Jia She didn't know each other.

Not many people came to pay homage on the first day, and Jia She didn't know any of them. After lunch, he bid farewell to Lou Gao and Hao Ding and left.

Back at the mansion, Jia She told his mother briefly about the Wu residence, and Hong Ye nodded to show that she understood. There are rules for funerals, and the female relatives usually go to worship in the next few days.

On the second day, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng didn't go to Wu's house because Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were not free at work. It was only later that they learned that the emperor had sent the prince to promulgate a decree, and he did not confer a title or posthumous title on Commander Wu. Rather, it is a sacrificial oration. It is said that all the people who went to pay homage were a little surprised after hearing the content of the imperial decree.This sacrificial oration was handwritten by Emperor Changping himself, and the content of the imperial decree was also written by him himself. It is absolutely sincere!

In the afternoon, in the palace, Emperor Changping asked Wang Wei, how was the funeral of Commander Wu going?Who went to worship?Wang Wei answered one by one.Just after asking, King Xiangjun, King Qin and King Yu asked to see the emperor together.

The weather has been cold recently, and Emperor Changping has distributed it to several sons for winter protection against the cold and snow disasters. I think they are here to report the matter.

The three princes were a little upset. They had just received the news that on the night of Commander Wu's death, Lao Qi actually stayed with his father in the palace. When his father needed comfort most, Lao Qi actually stayed by his father's side?Lao Qi really knows how to take advantage of loopholes, but why didn't they think of it?

After the routine report, Emperor Changping nodded when he saw that they hadn't made any mistakes. Emperor Changping didn't think much about it, but in the next few days when his sons were in the palace, Emperor Changping had to think about it.

After Hongye knew about the sacrificial oration, she raised her eyebrows, thinking to herself, wondering how many small yellow texts people in the future will make up from the content of the imperial decree of Emperor Changping hundreds of years later.

In the evening, Hongye finally met wormwood in the space. She would be in high spirits, and when she saw Hongye, she put her hands on her hips and laughed: "Haha, Hongye, I broke through."

Hong Ye knew at a glance that she had made a breakthrough, and said with a smile, "Congratulations!"

Wormwood pursed her mouth and flew down from the sky, "It's too formal!"

Hongye sat side by side with her on a branch, and talked about what happened in Beijing, "Commander Wu passed away."

"Huh?" Ai Cao sighed and said, "In order to warm Lou Gao and the others, I gave away a lot of good things, but I still can't prolong Commander Wu's life."

After a long time, Ai Cao said: "Commander Wu's protection card is gone, Nuan Nuan and Lou Gao, I'm not in the capital, you have to help me take care of them."

In the past few years, the princes are still in a relatively peaceful period, but as the emperor gets older, the subsequent disputes will become more and more acute. She doesn't want the handsome boys to be involved in the fight for the heir apparent.

Hongye glanced at her: "I know, don't worry."

After Commander Wu's funeral, the splash of water soon dissipated in the wind and snow, and the most lively event in Beijing was the Chinese New Year.
