As a human being, there are three difficulties: it is difficult to give up love, it is difficult to give up grudges, and it is difficult to overcome life and death.
Being trapped in love and confused, being trapped in grudges and being ignorant, clinging to life and death and being afraid; who has not been confused? Who has no time to be ignorant? Who can not be afraid?
The confusion of love has its end, and the confusion of grudges and hatred cannot be universal. Although it is difficult, it has its limits. However, the fear of "death from scratch" comes from the birth of wisdom, and it is often difficult to escape until death. It can be said that it is the most difficult to deal with among the three difficulties.
As the saying goes: The ignorant are fearless. If people know its harm, they will fear its harm. Wisdom is born but fear is born. Without great wisdom, it is difficult to escape the calamity of life and death. Taoism's pursuit of immortality is the art of pursuing immortality with great wisdom, hoping to escape from the cycle of reincarnation and "live without death." The Buddhists practice Zen and seek to escape the "suffering of death". Isn't it true that they "view death as if it were home" with great wisdom?
However, Qingxuan has not yet attained immortality in the year of his enlightenment, let alone Yunyun ordinary people?
The beauty of life is like a spring dream, and the dream of death disappears when you wake up. You can't take away your money and fame, but you will sleep in a two-foot coffin.
The servants and guards coming and going in Prince Yi's Mansion all had their heads wrapped in white cloth, and white lanterns were hung everywhere in front of the corridors and under the eaves. They were preparing for Xia Muren's funeral. Although the coffin has not been returned yet, the funeral notice has arrived two days ago. The housekeeper has received the paperwork from the Ministry of Etiquette and has already made arrangements and left. The weather in June is hot and dry, and corpses are prone to decay. Once the coffin arrives at the house, it will be buried that day, so all funeral arrangements must be prepared in advance.
The mourning hall is located above the main hall. Xia Muren's three sons, wearing sackcloth and mourning, knelt in front of the mourning place, but no one cried.
Xia Chenghuan knelt in the middle, his eyes were bloodshot, he clenched his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "Father, Cheng Ju, Cheng Ye and I will do everything we can to avenge you! Prince Yun's Mansion, the Yan Gang, and the Nine Halls will all be wiped out. , No chickens or dogs left! Xia Muyan and Zhang Suiguang will definitely be cut into pieces with random knives, and they will die without a burial place! May your souls in heaven rest in peace!"
"Father, Cheng Ju (Cheng Ye) has sworn that he will help his brother to eliminate his enemies until death! May your spirit in heaven rest in peace!"
As soon as the three brothers finished kowtowing, they heard footsteps outside the hall, and it was the housekeeper who came over in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Prince Duanlao has arrived!" The housekeeper walked up behind Xia Chenghuan and reported. He is a servant, and he cannot speak in the mourning hall. Of course, when matters are governed by authority, King Duan cannot be left waiting outside.
Xia Chenghuan was about to get up to greet him, but saw King Duan walking outside the hall with his head wrapped in white cloth.
"Uncle Duanhuang, you can't do it!" Xia Chenghuan hurriedly walked out of the mourning hall and went to stop him.
Dahua's etiquette is complicated, the prince is a first-class royal relative, and there are clear regulations for funeral arrangements. Among the rituals, there are custom-made procedures for announcing the funeral, enclosing the body, guarding the bed, placing the coffin, paying homage, condolences, funeral, burial, and mourning. All governments and families have always followed the rules, and there are few violations.
Prince Duan is Xia Muren's elder and also serves as the regent. According to etiquette, he can only come to the mourning hall during condolences. But now, it is obvious that the time has not yet come.
"What etiquette do you care about?" Prince Duan held his staff in his left hand and scolded in a deep voice. He was both the great uncle of Xia Chenghuan (imperial authority was supreme, the prince's brothers were all called emperor's uncle), and he was also the master of Hua Zijian. When he scolded him, he honestly stepped aside and did not dare to say anything more.
After lighting a stick of incense and inserting it into the incense burner, King Duan bowed again and lamented: "Mu Ren, you have something on your mind that has not yet been accomplished, so how can you go just yet? It hurts me so much!" At this point, Two lines of old tears fell down, "If the sky drops the curtain, why would I regret giving my son's life in exchange for my rebirth! There is no benevolent king in the country, and how difficult it is to govern the country!"
King Lao Duan's expression was solemn, his face was sincere, and there was no falsehood at all, which made the three of them feel pain and respect.
"Chenghuan, I'm here first to offer incense to Muren, and secondly to warn you!" Act impulsively to avoid disaster!"
"Isn't it easy? I have already found out which three groups of people are responsible for killing my father. The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable! If the murderer is allowed to live freely, I forgive Chenghuan for not being able to do it!" Xia Chenghuan has been in awe of King Duan since he was a child. This is the first time he has been so disobedient.
"In the past two days, you have secretly gathered a lot of people." King Duan said in a deep voice, "I will take care of your father's affairs. You can just take care of your family at home. I naturally know about Muren's death and Yun's death. The king is related, but this matter also involves other forces. If you really kill King Yun, firstly, you may not be able to get your revenge, and secondly, you will have to take your lives. Do you think it is worth it? You are an extreme person. Wise people should not let their anger harm others or themselves."
... ...
"Your Majesty, Mr. Mei has arrived and is waiting in the side hall!" the young man came over to announce.
Ode to the Gongyang I was painting when I heard that my sworn brother had arrived, but there was no joy on my face. I put the brush aside, left my seat and walked out.
Mei Yuanchen felt a little bored after staying at Prince Jaw's Mansion for such a long time. Xia Chengxuan seemed to be very busy too. He thought that Gongyang Song and I had always been free, so he rode straight to visit.
"Yuanchen, you're here early!" Gongyang Songwo walked quickly through the door and chuckled, "Aren't you going to accompany Princess Chengyi? Why are you here with me?"
"You don't have many visitors here. I'm worried that you're bored, so I came here to keep you company!" Mei Yuanchen replied with a smile.
The two of them sat down in the host and guest seats. Gongyang praised me and said, "At this time, you should go and see Chenghuan." Looking at this, he had already guessed that Mei Yuanchen did not know about the death of the two princes.
"Chenghuan? What's wrong with him? I've never seen him." Mei Yuanchen asked curiously. He has no servants around him, so the news is naturally very limited.

"Yuanchen, don't you know that King Yi and King Zhi were killed?" Gongyang Songwo said softly.
"Being harmed? What do you mean?" Mei Yuanchen didn't react for a while. After a while, he suddenly stood up from his seat and asked loudly: "This...how is this possible? How could it be?" Seeing Gong Yangsong's expression on my face Seriously, without any intention of joking, he sat down slumped and asked, "When did this happen?"
"The report of King Yi's death was sent to the capital three days ago, but the report of King Zhi was delivered yesterday." Gongyang Songwo replied. Although he could do nothing in this position, he always paid attention to major events in the capital, and King Duan did not deliberately suppress the news of the prince's death, so there were many people who knew about it.
"Two days apart?" Mei Yuanchen understood the key as soon as he heard it, and cursed bitterly, "The damn thief, he has committed a heinous crime!" By this time, he had calmed down, and after thinking about it, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted softly After saying, "Father!" he turned into a shadow and rushed out!
... ...
"Kill him!" Duanmu shouted sternly with his jade eyes cracked.
Seeing the emperor paralyzed in a pool of blood, the seven military seats all turned pale. They each held their weapons tightly and rushed towards Qing Xuan's shadow.
