Yin Jun's 'death' was naturally an arbitrary conclusion drawn by Qi Dalang without any definite evidence, and it was more or less fabricated.
At present, all signs indicate that Bai Mian Shou may still be alive in the world. Therefore, when Zhong Yi asked about the matter, Qi Yu did not hide anything and directly chose to tell the truth.
In short: there is still hope, but life and death are still uncertain.
In other words, the current conclusion is not absolute.
However, the matter has come to this, whether Yin Jun is still alive or not, this funeral must take place.
The arrow is on the string and cannot be interrupted.
Contrary to what was expected, the atmosphere of the funeral was not as strong as expected, it was just like an ordinary event.
The main reason is that the matter has been delayed for too long and the sadness has faded. Also, the court did not show any importance. Since the people above looked indifferent, the people below were just going through the motions.
The posture adopted by the court was naturally Su Liu's instruction, but outsiders didn't know it.
However, the real trader is Qi Dalang behind the scenes. Those who can see through this level are even rarer.
The funeral was carried out according to traditional etiquette, and was personally organized by Lord Zhong Yi, who had not been seen for a long time. From the perspective of outsiders, the old chief minister's intention was to support the declining Yin family.
However, his twilight hero's residual power is limited, his influence in the political arena has been greatly reduced, and there are only a handful of people who can really give him face.
On the surface, all of the above seemed so natural, but Lu Boxuan discovered something unusual.
He always felt that there was something fishy in this matter.
First of all, Zhong Yi only built a very simple tomb for Yin Jun.
It is neither luxurious nor imposing, which is obviously inconsistent with his status as a martyr. Since he supports the Yin family, why should he be so perfunctory?
Secondly, when Yin Jun was mourning, his sister Yin Tao and her children did not come, which was obviously against ethics. As a wealthy family in the world, how could the Qi family be so ignorant of the general situation?
Taking the above into consideration, Lu Boxuan has reason to believe that this may be a sensational farce deliberately written and directed by Qi Yu. Its intention is generally to create conditions for him to enter the cabinet.
In addition to the above confusion, he was also deeply puzzled by the court's reaction.
Empress Dowager Su, who represented the imperial court, did not give any instructions on this matter.
Logically speaking, when a martyr passes away, opposition ministers and princes and dignitaries must go to pay their respects. Even if everything is kept simple, they must still show compassion. In fact, no form of imperial edict has been promulgated, which is really strange.
What's even more mean is that the court did not make any posthumous title, not even a free reputation.
Something feels wrong.
Although Lu Boxuan noticed the clues of the matter, he could not see the hidden truth. After thinking about it, he decided to use some method to scratch it, and he might be able to figure out the mystery.
…
"Master Qi, I don't know whether to say something or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
Huang Fei hesitated slightly and then said: "Even if Mr. Yin is still alive, you don't have to discount his funeral, right? Wouldn't it be better to have it done in a glamorous manner?"
Qi Yu shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, I am very sure based on my sixth sense that Bai Mian Shou is living well now. In this case, there is no need to waste money. Yin Jun has always been clean and poor, and his funeral Save money if you can
Bar. After a pause, he added: "In addition, there is another reason. I want to take this opportunity to confirm some speculations and provide a basis for the future. It is not only a test, but also about what is good and bad!" "
"Test? What do you want to test?"
"In short, let the critics surface, and then clearly identify the enemy's and our camps."
What does this... mean?
Huang Fei smacked his lips, showing confusion.
Qi Yu did not give in and explained directly: "At the moment, although Zhong Yi strongly supports the Yin family, the court is conciliatory. This unintentionally proves that the Yin family is gone. In addition, Su Liu will not pursue the title, and the Yin family's status can be It's only in name only. With this as a background, the world will focus on me, and Lu Boxuan, who doesn't know the truth, can't help but do some testing. As for me, I just took this opportunity to touch the opponent's party members. end."
I generally understand it, throw out the bait and wait for the fish to take the bait.
Qi Yu basically agreed with Huang Fei's metaphor.
He believed that if he carried out reform policies, he would definitely offend those with vested interests in the official hierarchy. Since he could not avoid a purge, it was better to plan ahead and predict in advance.
Previously, Zhong Yi had given himself a list of people who had formed "parties for personal gain". As a confirmation, he could distinguish the merits of the political arena.
Let’s continue talking about Yin Jun’s funeral.
The funeral of the martyrs should have attracted much attention, but because the court turned a deaf ear to it, the heat suddenly dropped. The mourning hall was deserted, with only a few officials present.
These individuals were either members of the Yin and Zhong families, or former disciples of Qi Yu, but there were very few people who actually came to offer sacrifices.
Visible, aware of current affairs
How realistic is the saying that a hero is a hero.
Of course, not all Future People are Lu Boxuan's followers, there are many neutral people among them. Their attitude was quite tactful. They neither offended Lu Boxuan nor the Yin family, and only offered a perfunctory condolence couplet.
Qi Yu observed and corresponded with the roster, and soon he came to a preliminary conclusion.
The Yin family was indeed in decline.
On the contrary, the Lu family took the opportunity to rise.
Since the emperor had not been in court for a long time, Lu Boxuan naturally became the courtier with the most say. It is not surprising that officials moved closer to him.
Although Qi Yu is well-known throughout China and intimidates the world, the most important thing is that he is a local official. As far as the court is concerned, he is no different from an outsider. So when weighing, he is not the best option.
Time passed quickly, and the funeral day arrived in a blink of an eye.
The sky is still beautiful. The wind is blowing and the birds are chirping. The blazing sun is shining in the sky.
Yin Jun's funeral ceremony kicked off in a beautiful and sunny atmosphere.
Qi Yu kept his previous promise, took off his hat, wore a black veil, and personally supported the spirit in solemn silence.
He walked slowly along the road with heavy steps. His appearance was as calm as ever, his demeanor was calm and composed, and he looked completely unfazed by honor or disgrace.
The focus should look like a focus, not an expert but also an expert.
Looking at the people who travel spontaneously, it is a different attitude.
They all wore white scarves on their heads and were choked with sobs. From this, it is not difficult to see that they respected this martyr from the bottom of their hearts.
Loyal and traitorous, good and bad, the common people have their own judgment.
The scene in front of him made Qi Yu suddenly feel a sense of relief. He said secretly: In the hearts of our Chinese people, the sense of justice has always existed, but they don't.
Just expression.
While I was sighing, I suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.
oh? what's the situation?
