North Song

Chapter 890: Forty-eight years, it was too difficult

Views:

In accordance with the customary etiquette, the matter of welcoming the skeleton of Old General Yang should be decided by the descendants of General Yang.

Only the descendants of General Yang’s descendants are qualified to move General Yang’s grave.

Yang Wenguang is the only adult male among the descendants of General Yang.

Therefore, only Yang Wenguang can call the shots.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhao Zhen left Youzhou City, he did not overstep her.

But Yang Wenguang is on official business now, and it is impossible to take out the skeleton of Old General Yang and send it back to Bianjing without taking off the official business.

Of course, after taking the eastern section of Northwest Road in Liao State, Yang Wenguang had the opportunity to ask Kou Ji to give him some time to send General Yang back to Bianjing.

Kou Ji did not take the initiative to mention the reason Yang Wenguang did not speak.

It's all for the Yang family's grandmother's consideration.

The old lady of the Yang family was thinking of General Yang in her heart, so the breath from her throat would not be swallowed for a long time.

The old lady of the Yang family lives by that tone now.

If it is as soon as possible to send General Yang's skeleton back to Bianjing City.

The old lady of the Yang family swallowed when she saw the bones of her deceased husband.

The day to welcome the skeleton of the old general Yang is the day of the old prince of the Yang family.

It is precisely because of such concerns that all those who are concerned about this matter have this matter in mind, but no one mentions it.

Now Kou Tianci and Yang Huaiyu are anxious to take care of this matter.

Naturally, there is a suspicion of doing bad things with good intentions.

Kou Ji stared at Yang Wenguang and said, "The official has handed this matter over to me. I want to know what you mean."

Yang Wenguang lay on the bed without saying a word.

After a long time, just when Kou Ji was about to speak again, Yang Wenguang's eyes were a little red and said: "Please also ask Privy Councilor Kou to give me a month of rest and let me take care of it myself."

The people in the cave opened their eyes and looked at Yang Wenguang in disbelief.

Di Qing almost questioned Yang Wenguang aloud, wanting to ask him if he didn't care about the life and death of the Yang family grandma.

Yang Wenguang felt their gazes, and said in pain: "That is my blood and blood, and my only elder. I think her life is more important than myself.

But if I delay in welcoming my grandfather's bones to let her live a few more years, I can't bear it again.

Decades have passed since my grandfather was buried in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun to today.

My grandmother's heart was cut by a sharp knife for decades.

Today, my heart is probably shattered.

Now that Yan Yun returned to Song Dynasty, she saw that she could be reunited with her grandfather, but she was unable to reunite. She can be said to live like years.

That heart must be scorched like a fire. "

Speaking of this, Yang Wenguang burst into tears early, "She was sitting in a tea shed outside the city, and she was waiting for her to leave. She was also telling me that she didn't care about life and death anymore, she just wanted to talk to me. Grandfather was buried in the same grave.

Her heart is broken, and I don't want to see her heart burned to ashes.

So, I want to send my grandfather's bones back. "

Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng and others were panicked when they heard this.

They were silent, unable to say a word for a long time.

After Kou Ji was silent for a long time, he slowly said: "Your injury is not complete yet, I will send someone to take you there."

Yang Wenguang said with tears: "Thank you, Priscilla Kou, for your completion."

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Tell my kid and let him bring me a stick of incense."

"With me!"

"I have a stick too!"

"..."

Zhong Shiheng and others spoke up one after another.

Kou Tianci was considered their junior, and when they met, he had to call them uncles and uncles, and he was qualified to give incense instead of them.

Chen Lin hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I wonder if this eunuch in our family is qualified for a stick of incense?"

Yang Wenguang pursed his mouth, weeping, and nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Chen Lin nodded and said: "Our family also sent a few people to follow you. Although Liaodi has been beaten down by us, we are not yet familiar with it. Our family will send a few people to guide you."

"Thank you..."

When Yang Wenguang made a decision, his heart flew.

Kou Ji knew that Yang Wenguang was in a hurry to go to Miyun, and immediately sent someone to prepare something and sent Yang Wenguang to Miyun.

Yang Wenguang traveled all the way to the starry night, and in just seven days, he rushed to Miyun.

Kou Ji said hello, and Chen Lin's people followed. Even if the road was blocked by heavy snow, he and the people around him could still ride horses all the way.

Although the injuries on his back were torn in the process of rushing, it did not stop Yang Wenguang from rushing to Miyun.

After Yang Wenguang arrived in Miyun, he happened to encounter a group of people opposing another group.

One group was led by Kou Tianci and Yang Huaiyu, and the other group was a bit more complicated. There were local people in Miyun and some from the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.

After Yang Wenguang appeared.

Kou Tianci and Yang Huaiyu hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle Yang..."

"Father..."

Yang Wenguang scowled and scolded: "What are you doing?"

Yang Huaiyu hurriedly said: "We want to welcome back the bones of our great-grandfather, but they won't let it."

Yang Wenguang glared at Yang Huaiyu, and said, "So you recruited a group of people, you want to grab it?"

Yang Huaiyu looked embarrassed and looked at Kou Tianci subconsciously.

He can't recruit so many people.

His reputation is not good, and the Yang family's reputation is not good.

Those people were recruited by Kou Tianci.

He was the only son of the Kou Mansion, and his status as the godson of the official family was revealed. There are a lot of people in the two prefectures planned by Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures who are willing to use him.

Yang Wenguang saw that Yang Huaiyu looked towards Kou Tianci, and he knew that it was Kou Tianci's idea to recruit people to rob him.

However, instead of reprimanding Kou Tianci, he glared at Yang Huaiyu and shouted, "Naughty!"

Seeing this, Kou Tianci said solemnly: "Uncle Yang, this matter is the idea of my nephew..."

Yang Wenguang shook his head and said: "You don't have to explain, you are kind, Uncle Yang knows."

Kou Tianci suddenly didn't know what to say.

Yang Wenguang continued: "If you encounter something, it's not too late to make it clear before you start."

Before Kou Tianci could talk to Yang Huaiyu, Yang Wenguang jumped off his horse and walked to another group of people.

"Under Yang Wenguang, dare to ask you who are..."

Yang Wenguang bowed his hand, first clarified his identity, and then asked the other party's identity.

The other person was also a man. After hearing Yang Wenguang's self-report of his family, he looked straight, clasped his fist and said, "Caomin Wangan..."

Wang An introduced himself and introduced others to Yang Wenguang.

"These are the brethren of the Cao Nation, these are the people of Yanggong Village."

Yang Wenguang once again arched his hands and said: "You are polite, Inuzi and my nephew collided with you, Yang is here to accompany you."

When Wang An saw this, he hurriedly said: "General Yang made a serious statement. Cao Min and others didn't know the identity of Young Master Yang and that Young Master, and saw that they were going to move Yang Gong Temple, so they stopped them.

Now that the misunderstanding is clear, it will be fine.

Not to hide the general, Cao Min and others are here to wait for the general to come, so that they can set up a coffin with the general and welcome back the bones of grandfather. "

"Grandfather's bones?"

Yang Wenguang was taken aback and lost his voice: "But the descendants of General Wang?"

Wang An solemnly said: "The ancestor is Wang Gui, the deputy general of General Yang."

Yang Wenguang said solemnly: "Your family left without saying goodbye. My grandfather has been thinking about it for a long time."

Wang An said frankly: "After the death of General Yang, my grandfather felt that my grandfather had failed to protect the general and had no face to eat under the door of Yang's house, so he took us away."

Yang Wenguang heard the words and hurriedly said: "My grandfather has passed away, but it has nothing to do with General Wang."

Wang An said freely and easily: "The past, let it go."

When Yang Wenguang heard this, he didn't mention it any more.

The two discussed and found someone to choose a day to start the coffin.

The villagers of Yanggong Village helped them prepare things for worship.

Yang Wenguang and Wang An, as well as Kou Tianci, Yang Huaiyu and others, took their things up the mountain.

There is a temple on the mountain, and that temple is where Yang Ye's bones are buried.

The temple is not big, but it is famous far and near, and its incense is strong.

The temple was built by the Liao people.

Among the worshippers were Liao and Han people.

The temple has been established for decades and has faintly become a kind of faith, a place of spiritual sustenance.

There are two statues of gods in the temple, one master and one time.

The two statues were both dressed up as majestic generals.

Yang Wenguang and Wang An entered the temple after kneeling three times and nine knocks.

After the two entered the temple, they both washed their faces with tears.

The two stayed in the temple, talking with their grandfather day and night.

Until the day was chosen, the two men came out from the main hall and went to the bone burial place behind.

The two set up the incense case, and after everyone entered the incense, they began to dig their graves.

The big tomb was opened.

The tomb was exposed.

After opening the tomb, the two sarcophagi inside were lifted out.

The burial of Liao people rarely used coffins, even if they were used, most of them were sarcophagi.

The sarcophagus has a size, but also a primary and secondary.

That one belongs to General Yang, and that one belongs to General Wang. It's clear at a glance.

Yang Wenguang and Wang An each rushed to the sarcophagus and cried for a long time before they were allowed to open the sarcophagus and transfer the bones inside to the wooden coffin they had prepared.

"Go home!"

"Go home!"

"..."

"Go home" and cried everyone.

Some people are full of sadness, others are full of reluctance.

It is Yang Wenguang and others who are sad.

They had been looking forward to their ancestors returning home for decades, and almost had no hope.

It is the local people who are reluctant to give up.

They have worshipped the'god' for decades, and now they are going to be carried away, so they naturally refuse to give up.

The coffin was lifted down the mountain, and Yang Wenguang and Wang An parted ways.

Yang Wenguang will return to Bianjing with the bones of General Yang, while Wang An will return to the ancestral land of Taiyuan with the bones of his ancestor.

More than half a month in the future.

Yang Wenguang, Kou Tianci, and Yang Huaiyu escorted the coffin of General Yang to the city of Bianjing.

Wherever he went, there were people worshipping.

Instead, he arrived at Bianjing, but no one worshipped.

It's not that everyone is unwilling to worship, on the contrary, many people want to come to worship.

Even Zhao Zhen wanted to come out to help the coffin himself.

It's just that the old lady of the Yang family is dressed in a green skirt. Wherever he stops, Zhao Zhen can't help the coffin in person, let alone the others.

A wife, after waiting for decades, finally waited until her husband came home.

They must have a lot to say.

Not suitable for being disturbed by outsiders.

When Yang Wenguang escorted the coffin of General Yang to the city of Bianjing, his steps were extremely heavy, and there was no half of a smile on his face.

When they appeared not far from the gate of Bianjing, they saw the old figure standing alone at the gate of the city.

Everyone was shocked.

Yang Wenguang's heart was filled with sadness and worry for an instant, and he wanted to stop there.

But he knew he could not do this.

The coffin was approaching little by little.

The old figure gradually became clear.

The green Luo skirt swayed in the wind, making it particularly dazzling.

Yang Wenguang carried the coffin a little bit, walked to the old figure, and looked at the old figure staring at the coffin without blinking eyes, feeling sad.

"Grandma..."

With a smile on his face, the old lady of the Yang family approached the coffin a little bit.

The old lady of the Yang family stretched out her old hand and touched the coffin, but when her fingers were about to touch the coffin, she suddenly stopped.

Yang Wenguang felt that his heart was gripped fiercely for a moment, and his breathing stopped.

The old lady of the Yang family finally landed on the coffin, and said with a soft smile: "There is no armor for me to expose. I am not used to it..."

"Grandma..."

Yang Wenguang screamed with a trembling voice.

The old lady of the Yang family ignored him. Instead, he smiled and stroked the coffin and whispered, "You are also cruel. You left for forty-eight years and threw a big family to me.

I don’t know how to sustain this family..."

"..."

"You and Yuer have left, and Zhaoer is left at home... Zhaoer is not weak in martial arts, but he is a little worse in his writing skills, and is always fooled by the people under him. If you are there, you can definitely teach him... you No, I'm a woman and I don't understand this, so I can't teach him..."

"..."

"In the second year of Jingde, Zhaoer died at Gaoyangguan Ren... My only remaining son is gone... You can't comfort me... When you lied to me to marry you, you said that I was sad. You will comfort me when... Now it seems that you lied to me..."

"..."

"It didn't take long for Zhao'er to go, and my second brother was gone... He died on the march... He used to like to learn martial arts with you most, every time he couldn't beat you... But he was luckier than you, and he left a dead body. Give me and mother..."

"..."

"It didn't take long for my second brother to disappear, and my mother followed... Mother saw that his father was gone, and when my two sons were gone, Xin followed it long ago... I persuaded but didn't persuade...

"..."

"Not long after my mother was gone, all my nephews were gone... The first one was Weizheng... Then Weichang... Then Weixin... When they saw you when they were young, they wanted to learn marksmanship with you, and you agreed. , It's a pity that you didn't teach them well..."

"..."

"You don't know. At that time, I knew that after they left, they were really uncomfortable. They had a serious illness... Later, Wen Guangyi, and the court wanted to make up an official... I didn't want him to go... He was the last of your old Yang family. A man is gone... If he is gone, your old Yang family will also be gone..."

"..."

"But after the official order was delivered, I saw the light in the child's eyes, and I couldn't bear to refuse..."

"..."

"I agreed, but I went down to see Emperor Xian in private, and told him that he would arrange a free job for Wenguang and let him stay in Bianjing City to take over the generations of your old Yang family..."

"..."

"Because of this, this child has been in Bianjing for many years and has not been on the battlefield. He thought it was the imperial court who couldn't see how good he was..."

"..."

"Weizhong, your favorite little guy, I went there two years ago... When he died, his body was sitting on the edge and fooled the Liao people for a long time... You look like you..."

"..."

"Weizhong is gone. I was almost kicked out of my natal family when I went to see it... If you were there, you would definitely not look at me wronged..."

"..."

The old lady of the Yang family explored General Yang's coffin inch by inch, telling meticulously what happened during the forty-eight years in which General Yang was absent.

The people around us all burst into tears.

The old lady of the Yang family, at the end of the talk, a bright smile appeared on her face, "Now, when you are back, I don't have to support this house anymore...

When you married me, you said that you live and sleep together, and you die at the same point.

You probably forgot, lying alone for forty-eight years.

I still remember it, and I still remember it clearly. "

Speaking of this, the old lady of the Yang family slowly lay on the coffin, and whispered: "It's precious, you must support your family well in your next life, don't throw it to me again, it's too difficult..."

After saying this, the old lady of the Yang family slowly closed her eyes, smiling at the corners of her mouth, but tears oozing out of her eyes.

"Grandpa... Grandma?"

Yang Wenguang looked red and called out with a trembling voice.

The old lady of the Yang family remained motionless, only the green skirt on her body was constantly swaying in the wind.

"grandmother?!"

Yang Wenguang shouted again.

The old lady of the Yang family remained silent.

Yang Wenguang stretched out his hand timidly, and tremblingly pointed his fingers towards the old lady of the Yang family.

"grandmother!"

The old lady of the Yang family has gone.

With a smile and tears, I went.

Yang Wenguang burst into tears instantly.

Kou Tianci and Yang Huaiyu both turned pale.

Yang Wenguang choked and said, "Grandfather, grandmother, grandson will take you home..."

After saying this, Yang Wenguang carried the coffin and shed tears, walking towards Bianjing City step by step.

The old lady of the Yang family went, and the news was like a gust of wind blowing all over the city of Bianjing.

Many people in Bianjing City had tears in their eyes when they learned about this.

Inside the palace.

Zhao Zhen stood on the head of the city and kept looking out of the city. He received the news not long after the Yang family had gone.

"The family of the Yang family is loyal and loyal, everyone knows... the world is a hero... but no one knows that you are the most praised person..."

Zhao Zhen slowly closed his flushed eyes, and said in a low voice: "Fang Jing, Ji Ji, Dezhen..."

The eunuch who followed Zhao Zhen's side stared in horror.

"Officials, this matter is not in compliance with the rules and laws..."

The word'Dezhen' in Zhao Zhen's mouth is obviously a posthumous title.

More importantly, the word'Dezhen' is a very high-standard posthumous name.

The old lady of the Yang family is neither a queen nor a queen.

But not eligible for a posthumous title.

Zhao Zhen slowly opened his eyes and said calmly: "If you don't comply with the rules, then I will change the rules. If I don't conform to the rules of etiquette, then I will change the rules of etiquette. I have a strange woman in Song Dynasty, so I should be different.

Men can get posthumous titles, and so should women. "

When Fang Jing heard this, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to say more.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Go down and tell Lu Yijian three people, let them tell the people below, take care of their own mouths, I don't want to kill.

Send someone to the Ministry of Engineering again, and the people from the Ministry of Engineering build a tomb in Gong County. "

Fang Jing respectfully agreed.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, and then said: "It is an order to promote Yang Wenguang to the presidency of the Privy Council, and to make up Yang Huaiyu as the imperial director."

"Hey..."

Fang Jing agreed and went down to find someone to draft the imperial decree.

After the imperial decree was drafted, Fang Jing showed it to Zhao Zhen, stamped it with a jade seal, and sent it to Yang Mansion.

This matter soon became known to the civil and military people of Manchuria.

But with Zhao Zhen's warning, no one in the civil and military Manchu dynasty dared to say no aloud.

Today, Zhao Zhen is in Bianjing City, arbitrarily assertive.

When everyone in Bianjing was full of grief, there was a child who felt that he had done something wrong, his face was pale, and he returned to the house like a walking dead.

"brother?"

The first to spot him was his sister Kou Hui.

Kou Hui saw Kou Tianci appear at the gate of the mansion, and she spread it out with surprise on her face.

Just as soon as he rushed to Kou Tianci's eyes, he felt something was wrong.

"what happened to you?"

Kou Hui was shocked to see Kou Tianci's face pale, like a walking dead body.

"I... I'm going to find my mother..."

Kou Hui greeted the housekeeper and the doctor while looking at Kou Tianci, while rushing to the backyard frantically.

Kou Tianci seemed to hear everything around him. He walked to the yard where he lived in a daze, then entered the door in a daze and closed the door.

Soon after Kou Tianci entered the room, Xiang Yan led a large group of children and appeared outside the door of Kou Tianci's room.

"doctor?"

After Xiang Yan got outside the door of Kou Tianci's room, she called the doctor directly instead of calling others.

The doctor from the house hurriedly appeared in front of Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan asked quickly: "Is there any problem with Ci'er?"

The doctor hurriedly said: "Madam, I have already observed the complexion of the young master, and the young master is innocent."

Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, smelling, and inquiring.

The best of them can tell whether a person is sick or not with just a glance.

Given the power and financial resources of the Kou Mansion, the doctor in the mansion is naturally one of the best.

Xiang Yan heard that Kou Tianci's body was unobstructed, and he was relieved, and then asked, "Then what happened to Ci'er?"

The doctor said in a deep voice: "Although the young master's body is fine, it's just that there is a big problem in this heart."

Xiang Yan was taken aback and asked nervously, "What's the problem?"

The doctor bluntly said: "What the hell is going wrong, I'm afraid only the young master himself knows."

After a pause, the doctor said again: "Heart disease can only be cured by heart medicine. Ordinary medicine and food have no effect at all."

When Xiang Yan heard this, she became anxious, "How can it be done..."

Kou Hui said nervously on the side: "Mother, why don't you go first to see your brother."

Without waiting for Xiang Yan to speak, the doctor took the lead and said: "It's better not. Young Master should need someone to be quiet now. Going in now is not good for his condition."
