At the entrance of Fayuan Temple, Brother Si's face was drooping, and he couldn't express what he felt in his heart.
Before setting off to the Duke's Mansion this morning, he whispered to the eldest brother about the charcoal poisoning.
The eldest brother was not idle at the time, and immediately asked people to send messages to people in various prefectures to be careful of charcoal poison.
Unexpectedly, this is still the case.
Brother Jiu pursed his lips and looked dazed beside him.
He didn't even dare to speak!
He had said that he "does what he says", but he didn't think about it!
The tenth elder brother was standing by and saw that the ninth elder brother's face was green and white and looked bad, so he whispered: "Ninth elder brother, don't be afraid!"
He thought Brother Jiu was timid and was frightened.
What happened today was indeed quite scary.
When I was at the Duke's house in the morning, they were still well and I even talked to them.
In less than a day, it was gone like this, which made no one feel good.
The fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother were nearby, and they also saw that something was wrong with the ninth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother came over, groped his back and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Birth, old age, sickness and death are just like eating, drinking and defecation. No one can avoid it. It's just a matter of sooner or later!"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and wanted to reply, "Sooner or later" is the problem in itself!
How many are willing to be early?
If he is a sick man, he won't say anything. If he wants to leave, there will be a sign.
But this is good.
Isn't it true that you have a bad mouth? !
He still remembers his love for Fang Ren before.
Brother Jiu pursed his lips into a straight line.
Are you that powerful?
There is no hatred or resentment.
He won’t admit it anyway!
The third elder brother was nearby, and he felt that the ninth elder brother was not afraid, but more like he felt guilty.
He asked the seventh elder brother next to him in a low voice, "Does Lao Jiu have any grudges against Prince Ping?"
The seventh elder brother glanced at the third elder brother and did not respond.
After the third elder brother asked, he thought of the southern tour, touched his chin and said: "Prince Ping bought the Ji family's Taihu stone at a low price. Now that the Ji family has joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Prince Ping and Lao Jiu can be regarded as scheming. Is the bend right?" ""
Is this grudge settled?
Have you really changed your story here?
The third elder brother moved a few steps, further away from the ninth elder brother, and felt more at ease.
Seeing this, the seventh elder brother felt a little worried.
What does it mean?
He was so clueless that if others heard him, they would think that Brother Jiu had done something.
He frowned and said, "Third brother, please be careful what you say."
The third elder brother wanted to speak, but glanced at the ninth elder brother and felt that he could not be too arrogant.
What if I was hated by Lao Jiu and was also killed by Fang?
He nodded and said: "It's my fault. What are you talking about? If you don't get involved, don't get involved. Don't talk about it anymore!"
"Dong-dong-dong-dong."
In the distance, the sound of drums came from the direction of the Bell and Drum Tower.
Updated.
Curfew.
When the sound of horse hooves sounded on the street, everyone looked over.
The Holy Spirit has arrived.
All the elder brothers greeted him respectfully, and the kings of the clan who got the news at the temple gate also came out to greet him.
Because the old Duke was in funeral, all the kings of the clan were almost here.
Kangxi got off the carriage, and the place was completely silent.
Prince Ping stopped at the side courtyard of Fayuan Temple.
Prince Kang and Prince Shuncheng led the way, accompanied by other princes. Kangxi paid one last look at Neerfu.
Thinking of Nelfu's age, which was less than 30 years old, Kangxi trembled in his heart.
Prince Zhuang was beside him, and he was also sighing.
He doesn’t even have a son, so he has to bury his family grandson.
How could Prince Ping prepare a coffin at his age?
Prince Zhuang whispered to Kangxi: "We can't just leave it like this. We are in a hurry and don't have a good coffin, so we should bring the servant's coffin to Prince Ping. It has been painted for six years!"
He is fifty years old this year, and the coffin was prepared in his forty-fourth year.
Because as he got older, in addition to tabooing his birth year, he also had to avoid "Ming Jiu" and "Dark Nine", so when he was forty-four years old, he found the best sandalwood and prepared it.
Kangxi nodded, looked around, looked at Prince Kang and said, "Where are the people from Pingjun Prince's Palace?"
Prince Kang was also puzzled and said: "My servant has already sent someone to announce the funeral."
According to the time, he should have arrived before the Holy Driver.
Just as he was talking, there was another movement outside.
It's someone from Pingjun Prince's Mansion.
The palace chief, Shi, brought here the eldest son of Prince Pingjun, Nersu.
After being led to the holy driver, the long history knelt down and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, our old man Fujin was so sad when he heard the funeral news that he passed away..."
This old Fujin was the grandmother of Prince Ping and the direct descendant of Prince Keqin, the Tongjia family of Fujin. She was the clan sister of Tong Guowei and Tong Guogang, and the clan aunt of Kangxi.
Kangxi frowned and said: "You bastard! How can this old man stand up to such an old man? Why don't you stop him?"
The chief minister kowtowed and said, "Just now our Fujin was serving the meal in old Fujin's room. The person who reported the report showed his whereabouts. Old Fujin inquired about the news and found out that the prince had passed away after something happened..."
The palace also wanted someone to preside over the funeral, so Fujin sent Chang Shi to bring his eldest brother Narsu over.
Wood.
Ninth Prince's Mansion, main room.
Shu Shu listened to the drums and waited from the first watch to the second watch.
She regretted not asking Sun Jin to wrap up his clothes and go there.
At this moment, there was movement in the yard.
Shu Shu hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him.
As soon as he reached the door, Brother Jiu picked up the curtain and came in.
Seeing Shu Shu in a hurry, he hurriedly said: "Slow down."
The hot water in the dining room has been prepared in advance.
Shu Shu ordered Walnut to go down and pass the water.
When the couple arrived at the Dongci Room, they saw Shu Shu sitting firmly, and Brother Jiu sat down on the kang, rubbed his face and said, "Tell me, what is this?"
The Duke's Mansion was afraid of delaying everyone's Chinese New Year celebrations, so they did not wait until the first month of the year and sent them in advance.
But it happened to catch up with the strong wind and cool down.
The princes are all wealthy people, and few can withstand the cold. Since they know how to travel long distances, extra fumigation cages are added to the carriages.
The eldest brother clearly sent someone to remind him, and Prince Ping also answered the call across the carriage, but he was still tricked.
Shu Shu didn't know how to comfort him.
The princes of Pingjun Prince's Mansion don't seem to live very long.
"The clan members of the royal family are wearing red flags to observe mourning. Prince Kang's Mansion and Prince Shuncheng's Mansion will follow the funeral arrangements. The rest of the people can just go to express their condolences according to the regulations. They all followed the Holy Driver back to the city...",
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Amma has come personally to bury me, build a tomb and erect a monument, and I will stay away from work tomorrow!"
Others don't need to sit at night.
This was also the case originally, only the close cousins had to sit at night.
The old Duke is an exception. He has a higher seniority and is the son of Taizong.
Except for Prince Jian's palace, all the other princes' palaces are his close cousins.
Brother Jiu said: "Tomorrow we have to prepare two sacrifices. In addition to Fayuan Temple, we also have to go to Pingjun Prince's Mansion. Pingjun Prince's grandmother has also passed away..."
This is really not good news.
Even people who don't know each other well are still embarrassed.
After hot water was delivered from the dining room, Brother Jiu came out to take a bath and change clothes, and supper was also served.
It's a portion of millet porridge, two egg pancakes, and two side dishes.
Brother Jiu felt hungry when he saw it.
He ate both egg pancakes and felt better.
When he lay down, he began to feel restless.
"Is it my fault? What if I didn't mention charcoal poison?"
Brother Jiu felt that he was really guilty.
Shu Shu comforted: "What does this have to do with me?"
It can only be said to be more metaphysical.
The ninth elder brother thought of the charcoal poison, the fourth elder brother thought of reminding him, and the eldest elder brother actually warned someone from the palace.
Prince Ping also heard the reminder, but something still happened.
Brother Jiu sighed and said, "I only know what 'impermanence' is today."
Before, he only thought about whether his health would affect his lifespan, and he didn't think about others at all.
"You have to believe in gods and Buddhas...materials."
Brother Ninth came to the conclusion: "A little blessing is a little bit..."
Shu Shu said: "You don't need to take it too seriously. This kind of thing is just an accident and not common. Besides, living a life of eating, drinking and having diarrhea, and growing old means birth, old age, illness and death. These are inevitable in a person's life..."
Brother Jiu fell silent and said, "I don't feel very good anyway, so I'd better talk less in the future!"
If you talk too much, you will make mistakes, so don't be afraid; if you speak too much, it will be too scary.
Whether it's an enemy, a relative, or an unrelated person, it's all human life, and it's so heavy that he doesn't want to bear it.
"Who was he in his previous life? Why is he so powerful?"
Brother Jiu had made his decision and couldn't help but become curious.
Shu Shu didn't know how to support him.
She didn't know who Brother Jiu was in his previous life, she just wanted him to be a less failure in this life.
"Fourth brother is probably scared too. Will he be afraid of me in the future?"
Brother Jiu thought of this and said with some anticipation: "You don't dare to train me anymore, do you?"
At this point, he thought of Third Brother's expression and movements, and with disgust, he snorted softly and said: "Third Brother, really, hide away! It seems that I am a harmful person, and I can see it. He is not a loyal person. If I really encounter difficulties, I guess he will be the first to run away..."
Wood.
Sibeile Mansion, main room.
The fourth elder brother also took a shower and changed clothes before lying down exhausted both physically and mentally.
Sifu Jin was nearby and was still frightened when he heard about Prince Ping.
She also had someone add a fumigation cage to the carriage.
"If Brother Jiu hadn't reminded me, would I have done it?"
Si Fujin's words were trembling, he was really scared.
We have been husband and wife for nine years. No matter how close they are to each other, they are already like family members.
Besides, she has a widowed mother and a child, so she also needs the backbone of her fourth elder brother.
I really can’t even think about it.
The fourth elder brother was also a little surprised when he heard this.
Before, I was only thinking about Prince Ping's misfortune, but I didn't think about him.
Now think about it, the wind has cooled down in the past two days, and the wind direction has changed somewhat.
After hearing Brother Jiu's mention of "charcoal poison", I felt sick and opened the curtains several times on the way to get some air.
Halfway through the journey, he felt a little dazed and nauseous, thinking it was because he didn't get enough rest last night.
Just in time to take a break on the road, he got off the carriage and walked around twice before he felt energetic.
If I hadn't been alert, I probably wouldn't have opened the curtains.
After all, his current situation is similar to that of Prince Ping. They both have lingering colds and are afraid of cold and wind...
Wood.
Babel Mansion, go to the upper room.
The earth dragon is burning, but because the house is empty, it seems a little lonely in the house.
The eighth prince lay alone on the kang and tightened his cloak.
The carriages of others may have been modified by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or may have been added with smoke cages.
His carriage was the same as before.
At the end of the day, I will be freezing to my core...
Wood.
Prince Ping's age was written incorrectly. He was the same age as his eldest brother, twenty-nine.
I whispered, it’s three million words long, that’s the pace. The author also likes fast-paced and exciting plots, but he doesn’t have enough writing power to write it.
