Chapter 75

During the queen's funeral, all the disputes and hustle and bustle in the harem and various courts seemed to be paused, and any entertainment activities were banned. No matter whether the ministers or the clan's family were allowed to hold banquets, they were not allowed to sing operas or listen to music.

The entire capital was eerily quiet, and the emperor even wrote several poems in mourning for the deceased queen.

The common people praised the emperor's deep affection for the empress, and said that there are few emperors in the world who have such long affection.

On the court, a new round of violent wind and waves was set off.

Many people who had an unclear relationship with the East Palace were pulled down without any scruples.

Probably because some cabinet ministers had a close relationship with the East Palace, the emperor used this excuse to force the seven elders in the cabinet to agree to expand the number of cabinet scholars from seven to nine. The famous Wu Rukang concurrently served as the post of six ministers and entered the cabinet.

Mr. Wu Rukang, who has passed the year of destiny, has been in a daze for the past year. He has been an official for more than [-] years. The original Mr. Liang was about the same age as him, and he was a prudent person. He was promoted to a higher level, but who knew that Mr. Liang's son-in-law was suddenly transferred back to the capital and became the minister next door. The boss could only move his ass and go to the south to be a frontier official.

The position of this Shangshu was dropped on his head like a pie falling from the sky, and now he has joined the cabinet in a daze and become the elder of the cabinet?
Although Lord Wu himself knew that he was accompanying Song Jianming, he was still very happy.

On the second day when he was promoted to elder, because the queen was still in mourning period, no banquets could be held, Master Wu joyfully carried two sauced ducks and went to the Song Mansion for a visit.

In the main hall, Mr. Wu cupped his hands to Song Jianming: "Mr. Song Ge, my elder brother congratulates you!"

"Old Wu Ge, you can't do it, you can't do it, aren't you offending me, my brother?"

The two new cabinet veterans bragged about each other for a long time.

It just so happened that the eldest son Song Chenhai and the second son Song Chenxu came in, Mr. Wu saw that these two young men are not bad!

I also didn't hear whether the son of Mr. Song's house was married, so I planned to go back and ask my wife to inquire about it, and by the way, wonder if there is a granddaughter of the right age at home.

Tsk tsk tsk, this marriage is about to happen, isn't he a generation above Mr. Song?Thinking of this, Master Wu smiled even brighter.

People outside all envy the Song family's illustrious family and the emergence of a large number of talents. After only one generation, there is a second cabinet minister, which is really amazing!Only the members of the direct branch of the Song family knew the helplessness and suffering involved.

Fortunately, the new Elder Song Ge doesn't seem to be a narrow-minded person. Although he doesn't have any special care and support for those clansmen in the direct branch, he will never suppress them, and this alone is enough.

This made Song Jianshuo, who was still stagnant in the position of prefect of Jingzhou Prefecture, greatly relieved.

But this tone did not let up for several months. During the New Year, news came that Mrs. Song was critically ill.

In fact, ever since the crown prince was made king of Shenjun, Mrs. Song's health has not been very good.

Speaking of which, the direct branch of the Song family has always supported the recovery of the crown prince. The reason why they escaped this time and were not liquidated is entirely because the censors took care of Xinge old Song Jianming.

Song Jianming is really sad, and Song Jianming is happy.

Ding You's Elder Song took several younger brothers who had given birth to Huafa and several sons, and stood at the door to welcome his nephew, who had become the old man.

Song Jianming stepped down from the tall carriage, carefully supported by Xiaosi, and stepped into the mansion again with the majestic steps of a superior.

They watched as he came to take a last look at Mrs. Song with a not-so-sad expression.

How could the uncle of the Song family more than ten years ago have imagined that the skinny young man who was dressed in shabby clothes and carried a bamboo building on his back and went to Beijing alone to ask for their blessings would have such a great fortune.

The delicate relationship between Mr. Song Ge and Mrs. Song is like a cup of bitter, sweet and a little sour cocktail. One sip can make people frown for a long time. Only the Song family can taste it. can understand.

After the third day of the new year, Mrs. Song fell into a coma, and almost all the sons of the Song family who were officials outside had rushed back.

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, amidst the sound of firecrackers welcoming the God of Wealth, the old man Song, who had been at the helm of the Song family for a lifetime, passed away.

White sails were hung in front of the Song family, and the emperor sent Eunuch Yin to the Song family to mourn the old grand master.

Prince Shen's Mansion, which has been closed since being crowned king, also sent his son Li Sheng to express his condolences, and then Li Zhao, the son of Prince Su's Mansion, also came to express his condolences to Mrs. Song.

Li Sheng, the grandson of the emperor who had been fighting with Li Zhao for so many years, saw Li Zhao, his eyes were red.

He knew that the complete downfall of the Eastern Palace had something to do with Su Wang's Mansion!
A thing that seemed impossible at first, King Su has tirelessly persisted for more than 20 years, and finally let him do it.

In the back garden of the Song Mansion, Li Sheng gritted his teeth and asked Li Zhao, "What are you doing here? You came here to see my jokes?"

"Hey, big cousin, you take yourself too seriously." Li Zhao said flatly, "This is the old lady of my future son's concubine, shouldn't I come?"

Li Sheng was startled, and then snorted fiercely: "When did Mr. Song Ge become one of your people?"

Li Zhao waved his hand: "Brother, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Song Ge is a high-spirited man, how could he do such a thing of forming a party for personal gain? Besides, Su Wang's mansion has always been aloof from the world, and my father has always just wanted to be a The idle prince. As for me, like my father, I am the eldest son anyway, and I will definitely inherit the title of prince in the future. Rather than risking my life and money to seek that position, it is better to be a prince of peace and ease. If so, big cousin, please don’t talk nonsense in the future.”

"Heh! Haha!" Li Sheng was so angry that his face was so cheeky that he opened his eyes and said nonsense. He pointed at Li Zhao and his fingers trembled. He didn't know which sentence to start with.

Seeing that he was too angry to speak, Li Zhao cupped his hands, and led the person away in a very "tactful" manner. Regarding the future, he would discuss with Mr. Song again, and today was just the opportunity.

In the mourning hall, Song Qingyue and several brothers and sisters offered incense to the old man together.

Beside the funeral ceremony, Song Qingyue saw Meng Wanfeng who was crying very sadly in Grandma Song's arms. She was accompanied by a tall young man who was also dressed in plain clothes, and with a solemn face, he was talking to the eldest son of the Song family. Song Jianshuo's children knelt on one side together.

Song Qingyue guessed that it was Meng Wanfeng's younger brother who was adopted by her stepmother Lu, but luckily she brought her back again, so she probably has reformed.

In fact, Song Qingyue has never had a good impression of "helping the younger brother demon", but the heroine of the rebirth novel seems to often have either a good-for-nothing brother or a good-for-nothing brother, or a weak and confused mother who needs the heroine's painstaking efforts to save her back.

The heroine always attaches great importance to blood and family relationships, unlike herself, Song Qingyue can't help but think of Aunt Chun who was abandoned by herself, she is a cold-hearted guy.

It was not easy for Meng Wanfeng either.

Song Qingyue had a very strange feeling while kowtowing to the coffin of Old Master Song.

Meng Wanfeng calls Song Jianshuo uncle, but she can actually call Song Jianshuo uncle, so in fact, she and the heroine Meng Wanfeng can barely be regarded as cousins?

To Meng Wanfeng, this old man was an extremely kind grandfather, but to his own father, Song Jianming, he was the helm of the family who ruthlessly suppressed the offspring.

Looking at it from another angle, the feeling will be so different.

The things in the world are really wonderful.
