Chapter 40 Depressed
Things are impermanent. The sky was originally clear, but it might be cloudy in a moment. Then the heavy rain would make people feel cool. It might be lightning and thunder as they saw it, but it would be cloudy and clear after a moment.
.
When the King of Shu died, King Qi Yuwen Liang and Prince Yu Wenming went to the mourning hall alone to pay their respects. The originally tense situation eased, and many people breathed a sigh of relief, including Li Sanjiu and others.
As the housekeeper of the royal family, Li Sanjiu is deeply trusted by the husband's wife. This time he followed the mistress to Yecheng, his most important responsibility was to protect the safety of the princess and the prince.
If there is a choice, the King of Xiyang would not let the princess and prince come to Yecheng, but there is no choice for this matter. Even if you worry, it will be natural for the princess to go back to her parents' home to visit relatives, let alone live in her parents' home.
This made the accompanying Xiyang Prince's Guard very depressed. If something happened in Yecheng, it would be a big deal. The Princess and Prince of Xiyang who lived in Duke of the Kingdom of Qi were easily taken away. They could not force themselves and could only hold on.
According to the plan, a small number of guards lurked in Yecheng, and most of them were led by Sima Zhang Ding, the prince, and followed King Qi and the prince to break through. Li Sanjiu stayed with the princess and prince and became the last person to protect himself.
Or they were killed, and the princess and the prince had no choice but to be left to support him. They were first locked up in the Duke's Mansion, and then at the mercy of others.
That was the worst situation. Li Sanjiu didn't think so much. He didn't care about his life and only hoped that the princess and the prince would be safe. So even if the situation eased now, he did not dare to take it lightly.
After carefully checking the gas tank, the simple air pressure gauge on the upper side, and after confirming that everything is normal, Li Sanjiu connected the gas tank to the hand gun. This air gun, which is not much bigger than a palm, is the sharpest self-defense weapon.
Ten bullets are prepared, and they are fatal. Even if the other party is wearing armor, they still cannot stop the bullets shot by the air gun at close range. No matter how good the person is, he will not die if he eats a bullet at close range.
The failure rate of falling and smash resistance is low, and the cost is over 2,000 guan. It is expensive but worth the money. Li Sanjiu carefully put the air gun away, sorted out his clothes, walked out of the room, and in the garden, Yuwen Weicheng was using a magnifying glass
"Butler Li, can't you burn ants today?"
"The prince, now it is the mourning period and cannot kill animals."
"Curging ants with a magnifying glass is considered killing?"
"It's not good anyway."
"What's fun today? My mother said that the house cannot be noisy, it's so boring."
Yuwen Weicheng complained that he didn't know what happened in the mansion at this time. He only knew that his mother had to wear maroon clothes every day, and the mansion was not allowed to laugh, even if he was the same.
Just as he was about to pester Butler Li to find something fun, he unexpectedly took out a notebook and said, "Crown Prince, I have put down all my homework in the past few days, please make up for it quickly."
"Ah? Can you be graceful for a few days?"
"The princess had not had time to check a few days ago. If she remembered it later..."
"Okay, I'll write now..."
Yuwen Weicheng had no choice but to hand over the magnifying glass and took the homework book to his room to "do his homework". In the past few days, Yuchi Chifan helped his parents with funerals and had no time to care about his son's homework, so the little guy grazed herd.
In the next yard, Yuchi Chifan was talking to his mother and sister. He cried in the Shu Palace these days, which made the mother and daughter feel uncomfortable in their eyes and throats. After all, they are female relatives, so there is no need to continue to endure.
"In this way, Sanniang has to stay in Yecheng for a while. Remember to write a letter to King Xiyang to avoid worrying there."
"Don't worry, my daughter knows that my daughter can live in Yecheng for a while and be able to say more with her mother and sister."
Wang Shi Chi Mingyue sighed: "Oh, Si Niang doesn't know when she will be waiting next."
"Mother, this matter is no longer something that the family can decide, so how do you have to decide." Yuchi Chifan said this and comforted his sister: "Simei, don't think about it randomly, it's just a delay of some time."
Yuchi Mingyue nodded silently. At this time, she was not easy to say anything except silent. If she acted anxiously, it would make people criticized for being unfilial. If she acted unfaithfully, it would easily make her mother anxious.
You are so old, how can you get married if you don’t get married?
Then the next step is the way: "My miserable daughter..." As he said that, tears came out, and he could talk about how many times he had suffered last night.
She was afraid that her mother would do this, so she could only remain silent and had no choice but to wait for others to arrange her destiny.
According to the situation, her wedding is probably nowhere to be seen, and the reason is depressing.
The day after King Qi went to the Shu Palace to pay his respects, the emperor also went to the mourning hall to pay his respects. The funeral of the Shu King was carried out in an orderly manner according to the etiquette system. Because of this, the emperor's wedding that was about to be held will naturally be postponed later.
The powerful people who originally gathered in Yecheng were going to attend the ceremony of the Emperor's Book of Emperors. Today, they wanted to mess with people and the joys were replaced by funerals. Naturally, they wanted to attend the funeral of the King of Shu. Many of them, like King Qi and his son, did not leave Yecheng.
As the granddaughter of the King of Shu, the princess of Xiyang, Yuchi Chifan, naturally had to stay in Yecheng to stay in Yecheng to stay at the funeral for his grandfather. The granddaughter mourned for his grandfather was a decline. If the Zhou rituals were followed, he would have to mourn for one year.
Of course, this is not really a mourning one year. Since the Han Dynasty, the number of mourning periods is changed from day to month, a year to twelve months, so only twelve days are needed to mourn.
Yuchi Mingyue, who was about to marry, also had to mourn her mourning, so she should not think about her marriage soon. Not to mention that she is also the granddaughter of the King of Shu. Her father, Yuchi Shun, was punished for three years as a deceased father.
Three years are thirty-six months. If the sun is used instead of the month, would it be that the thirty-six days will end?
This is a great disobedience!
When the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, he must put state affairs first, so it is understandable that the sun changes the moon when he is heartbroken. If the parents of the important ministers die and the state affairs cannot be separated from him, then the emperor orders the love to change the moon when he is changed, which is understandable.
As for other people, if the son is mourning for his father, he dares to change the moon and return to become an official after thirty-six days. That is a great disfiance, which can be called an evil deed.
The prince of Shu, Yuchi Dun, is about to succeed the throne of Shu and serve as prime minister, and is to take charge of court affairs, so the emperor will inevitably "take away love". Yuchi Shun and Yuchi Youqi will not have a reason to receive such treatment. If the mourning period for his deceased father is to be hastily done, isn't this a great unfilial piety?
Yuchi Shun was the oldest of the king of Shu, and he was also a legitimate son. It is said that the position of the prince should have belonged to him, but the King of Shu reunited and created two legitimate wives. The son born to Wang became the legitimate son.
After weighing the pros and cons, the position of Prince of Shu was returned to Silang Yuchi Dun, and Sanlang Yuchi Shun's position became a little embarrassed: he was the oldest among the legitimate sons, but he was not the heir of the King of Shu.
If the mourning ends for thirty-six days, then someone will be poked at the back and scolded for being unfilial: Are you dissatisfied with the King of Shu not appointing you as the prince? Do you still have to be morally moral?
The king, the king, the minister, the father, the father, the son, the son, and the son. No matter how wrong the king and the father are, the ministers must be filial!
Not to mention anything else, the impeachment memorial of the censors and the public opinion inside and outside the court can make Yuchi Shun feel ashamed. Prime Minister Yuchi worked hard and made great contributions, but the family had an unfilial son. If he did not deal with it, what would the world be like?
No matter how powerful the Yuchi family is, the most basic face is always needed. If the prince needs to take over the control of the situation quickly, the other sons must mourn the deceased father, especially Yuchi Shun, everything must be followed by the rules.
It is impossible for the day to change the moon, but whether to serve the mourning period for three years is also a problem, because this problem will lead to another problem: whether his daughter Yuchi Mingyue should marry and become the queen?
Marry? The father is newly lost, and the son is married to his daughter to hold a wedding during the mourning period. What is this?
If you don’t marry, you will have to wait for three years to die. Yuchi Mingyue is almost twenty years old. The emperor will marry a woman over the age of age. This is too rude. The position of queen of the Great Zhou will be spared for three years. What is this?
Not to mention that in three years, many things can happen. The queen can only be the woman from the Yuchi family. No accidents are allowed. Others hope to delay, but the Yuchi family will never hope to delay.
The emperor issued an order to hold a wedding as soon as possible to enthrone the queen?
The emperor held a wedding and held a wedding shortly after the Prime Minister's death. Although the queen was the prime minister's granddaughter, what is the difference between this behavior and the funeral that she was laughing at the lanterns and gongs and drums?
If you act like this, then in the eyes of the world, there is only one sentence that can be described: I don’t look like a monarch!
It is conceivable that there are still troubles around these issues, and I don’t know whether it will make the scene difficult.
