Chapter 578
After Lu Housong finished explaining to the master of ceremonies, he comforted Gong Yan a few more words, and then hurried back to the palace.
After all, after experiencing this fierce battle, there is no need to talk about the uneasiness in his heart.
It's just that when Lu Housong left, the master of ceremonies said to everyone present:
"Although the young master is not as good as the weak crown, it is an act of loyalty! Now that he died for the country, the monarch also said that he would be buried with national ceremonies. It's just... this little boy... I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be buried with him."
"That's why the lower officials think that the young master can be buried according to the standard of national ceremony, and this little boy can be buried under the standard of funeral ceremony. Or, they can be buried both of them according to the standard of funeral ceremony. Only in this way can they conform to the etiquette system ah……"
Apparently, because the master of ceremonies has followed Lu Housong for a long time, he thinks he "knows well" the mind of the "king".
How could he not know the importance of Gong Yan and Gong Wei in Lu Hou Song's heart?Therefore, in order to be able to perform more in front of the monarch, he deliberately found fault there.
Hearing this, Gong Yan was dissatisfied. The emcee's first plan was undoubtedly to separate Gong Wei from Wang Qi. Before he was alive, he was opposed to Gong Wei and Wang Qi being together. After death, he could no longer disobey his brother Will;
As for the second plan, it even lowered the official burial standard a lot.
Faced with emcee's embarrassment, Gong Yan immediately spoke:
"Since your majesty has already ordered them to be buried in one place, and they fought side by side and died at the same time, how can there be any reason to separate them? As for the specifications, it is also your majesty's will to treat them as state funerals! Why don't you follow that?" Do it according to the will of the king?"
Faced with Gong Yan's accusation, the ritual official said calmly:
"The affairs of the monarch are complicated and complicated, and the etiquette matters are not clear to the monarch. Therefore, please forgive me, my son! We also need to handle this matter according to the specific situation!"
When Gong Yan heard the words, he was dissatisfied and said:
"The funeral of the dead brother must not be downgraded! As for whether they are buried together, it should also follow the king's wishes, and this is nothing to discuss!"
At this moment, Kong Qiu was somewhat in a dilemma. He gently tugged on Li Ran's sleeve, and said in a low voice:
"Grandpa...how do you think about this?"
Li Ran thought for a while, but said:
"In the past, when Duke Zhao went to the state of Jin, his every move was in accordance with the rules of etiquette. Even Duke Ping of Jin could not help but lament his "knowledge of etiquette" when he saw him. Argument."
"Uncle Qi believes that although Lu Zhaogong is not disrespectful in his gestures, he has actually lost his great courtesy. In this world, the real great courtesy should be 'guarding his country, implementing his government orders, and not losing his people'. But now, it is a great gift for Marquis Lu to treat his father with the ceremony of national funeral. And it is a great righteousness to accompany him with Wang Kai! It is wise for Marquis Lu to arrange this way."
"Nowadays, this little master of ceremonies doesn't understand the righteousness of Zhou Rituals, but only understands the small details. Isn't it ridiculously wrong?"
"What's more, those who can take up arms to defend the country and the monarch can be said to be 'guarding their country'! If this is the case, how can they violate the etiquette system?!"
Kong Qiu couldn't help but nodded, and immediately said:
"The Master of Ceremonies' words are inappropriate! If you can fight to defend the country, you will have no regrets! Although such matters of benefiting the country are against the small rules, they are still a great courtesy. Don't be too rigid!"
The master of ceremonies saw that Mr. Si Kou, who has always been known for his proficiency in Zhou etiquette, had spoken.So, he didn't dare to say any more, so he could only keep his promise:
"Since Mr. Si Kou has said so, then the subordinate officials can only follow orders."
The master of ceremonies immediately started to handle the matter, but Li Ran wanted to return to Xinglin immediately.But Kong Qiu was not at ease, and wanted him to live in his own house for a while.
For the sake of Li Guang's safety, Li Ran did not shirk it, not to mention that he must attend the funeral of Gong Wei and Wang Qi.
Kong Qiu mainly stayed by Lu Hou Song's side.
For public funerals, the ritual officer has full authority to manage them according to his wishes.
Seeing that his younger brother was finally properly settled, Gong Yan expressed his relief even though he was sad.
But at the same time, more regrets.
He felt that he shouldn't have opposed his younger brother and Wang Qi so fiercely back then, otherwise today's tragedy might not have happened.
national mourning day
The main hall is solemn and solemn.
At that time, all the ministers and ministers of Lu State followed Lu Hou and ranked under him.
The mourning and glory after his death is not insignificant...
……
The flowers bloom at both ends, each showing a branch
Besides, on Zilu's side, after Gongshan Buxuan led his troops out, the first day was still peaceful, just drinking and eating meat, being chic and happy.
But the two guards were at a loss when they saw that Zilu invited them to drink and eat meat there.
At first, the two were a little embarrassed, but they couldn't stand Zilu's warm hospitality, and it was even more difficult to resist the delicious meat.
To be honest, based on their identities, if Zilu hadn't invited them to eat and drink, I'm afraid they would be wishful thinking if they wanted to eat meat and drink like this.
"Hehe, I think I'm on Ji's errand, this housekeeper's errand is really difficult! All kinds of trivial matters need to be handled well. I'm busy all day long, not to mention how tired I am. Yes! Now hiding in this square inch, I feel at ease!"
"This time, Master Gongshan will send troops to Qufu, and he will surely succeed! Therefore, at most, we will rest here for a few more days and wait for the good news! It will make things difficult for the two of you, so I will just rest here and not go anywhere!"
When the two heard the words, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and they didn't know whether Zilu's words were true or not.
However, as far as they were concerned, as long as Zilu didn't make things difficult for them, they really didn't need to make things difficult for him.
After eating and drinking, Zilu fell to the ground and fell asleep.Seeing this, the two got up and left the house quietly.
At noon on the second day, Zilu had dinner with the two of them again, and then fell asleep again.
It's just that, after the two of them went out this time, they suddenly felt a turbulent feeling in their stomachs, so they hurriedly found a place to show their respect, and they had no choice but to ask someone to guard the gate for the time being.
At this moment, Zilu opened his eyes instead.There was a knock on the window almost at the same time, Zilu turned over and stood up, came to the window, opened the window, only to see a person enter through the window.
"Lord Zhong, I am Ma Zhengbao from Feiyi!"
Zilu nodded.
"Well, before I left, Mr. Ziming mentioned you to me!"
Obviously, just like the Yu people in Liyi, Feiyi Mazheng in front of Zilu was also arranged by Guancong.
It turned out that after Guan Cong learned of Li Ran's plan, he secretly brought news to this man, asking him to act as Zilu's internal response.
So, right now, I'm officially meeting with him.
Zilu closed the window and asked:
"What's the situation in Feiyi now?"
Ma Zheng rewarded and said:
"When Gongshan Buxuan went out, he took away most of the soldiers and horses. Right now, there are only a few thousand people guarding Feiyi. And most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. If we can recruit them as planned, we can rely on this The tall and strong city wall should be able to keep Gongshan Buxuan out of the city!"
Zilu couldn't help raising his eyebrows:
"That being said, it may not be easy to get these thousands of people to obey orders obediently, right?"
Ma Zhengbao smiled slightly:
"Gongshan Buxuan is different from Ruoliu, the governor of Liyi. Over the years, Gongshan Buxuan has been planning rebellion, so the taxes in the city have always been relatively harsh. Now The truth is revealed, everyone is in danger!"
"When others are around, they can still shock everyone. But now that he is no longer in the city, it is very simple to want to control these thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled!"
Zilu nodded thoughtfully:
"Then... how to do it?"
Ma Zhengbao said with a straight face:
"Sima Feiyi has been taken away by Gongshan Buxuan, and since the villain joined Daoji, I, as Ma Zheng, have been buying people's hearts in the army, and what I have done is exactly today! As long as Master Zhong can Get out of this place, and then take over Feiyi as Ji's family steward, the villain should help!"
Zilu looked sideways at Ma Zhengbao, and pointed to his feet:
"Get out of here?"
Ma Zheng nodded and said:
"Exactly! Master Suwen Zilu is extremely brave. To get out of this place, I'm afraid it's just a matter of effort? If you can get out of this place with your own bravery, it will be more justifiable and more convincing. ah!"
"Please hurry up, my lord! Fei Yi's army should have almost arrived in Qufu by now. I think Mr. Zhong is well aware of the situation he is facing! If the thief reacts, once he sends someone back, I'm afraid Zhong At that time, not only will your lord not be able to complete his mission, but he may also be unable to protect himself!"
Hearing this, Zilu was silent for a moment.
