Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 54 Uncle? is it you?

"Wait!" Yu Shenxing yelled first, and when he saw the other party stopped, he asked tentatively: "You said that Qiu Shilang wanted to whip your father to death? You are lying! You opened the coffin yourself, right? ?”

Zhang Chonghui stopped immediately. He knew that Yu Shenxing was trying to trick him.

There are only two safest ways at this time, either continue to act stupid and innocent, or simply escape and leave!

However, Zhang Chonghui did not choose to continue pretending to be stupid, nor did he choose to escape and leave. Instead, he turned back to look at Yu Shenxing and asked him in turn:

"Master Yu, you were one of the most admired students by my grandfather when he was still alive. He always treated you well! Now our Zhang family has fallen into this state. It was clearly Shilang Qiu who wanted to insult my father's body, but you actually suspected that Is it on my head?
  It’s okay for others to want to throw a shit basin at our Zhang family’s heads, but I didn’t expect that even you would do this to us! If my grandfather's spirit in heaven knew that you were like this, he would definitely be extremely disappointed! "

Zhang Chonghui brought out the almighty 'grandfather' again. He thought that these words would only make Yu Shenxing's conscience suffer for a while, leaving him speechless and choked for a moment.

But what Zhang Chonghui didn't expect was that Yu Shenxing's reaction was particularly violent!
  Yu Shenxing seemed to be greatly shocked, his pupils were trembling, and his eyes began to become trance-like when looking at Zhang Chonghui: "You... you... why do you say that too?"

"What do you say?" Zhang Chonghui looked confused. This time he was not pretending. He really didn't know what the other party meant.

Yu Shenxing did not answer. He just stared at Zhang Chonghui, as if he wanted to see something through this body.

At the same time, a scene from many years ago appeared in his mind.

It was still in the fifth year of Wanli, and it was still because of Zhang Juzheng's affair.

At that time, everyone in the government and the public was impeaching Zhang Juzheng for forgetting family and love and not observing filial piety.

Logically speaking, as a disciple of Zhang Juzheng, Yu Shenxing should stand by his teacher.

However, Yu Shenxing turned his head and chose to secretly go to the emperor with other ministers to persuade the young emperor to 'drive' Zhang Juzheng back to his hometown to observe filial piety on the grounds of general principles, father-son ethics, etc.

As the chief minister of the cabinet with great hands and eyes at the time, Zhang Juzheng quickly learned of the matter.

Zhang Juzheng was very angry at being stabbed in the back by his most valued student. He directly called Yu Shenxing and angrily shouted to his face:
  "Yu Keyuan, you are one of my most admired students! I usually treat you well! I didn't expect that even you would treat me like this? You really disappoint me!"

Yu Shenxing always remembered Zhang Juzheng's rebuke, because this was the first and only time that he was 'really' scolded by Zhang Juzheng.

Although before that, Zhang Juzheng often said that Yu Shenxing was "too rigid" and "didn't know how to adapt".

But Yu Shenxing knew that those sermons were not actually scolding, but more of Zhang Juzheng's hatred for him.

Yu Shenxing had long known that his impeachment of Zhang Juzheng would be known to Zhang Juzheng sooner or later, so he had already made preparations.

He explained to Zhang Juzheng earnestly: "It is precisely because you treat me badly that I have to impeach you to the emperor!"

Yu Shenxing did not lie. He was really worried that Zhang Juzheng's reputation would be completely ruined because of the "seizing love" incident, and he would eventually lose the support of all the new ministers and old parties in the government and the opposition.

Facts have proved that Zhang Juzheng did not want to accept Yu Shenxing's hard work, nor was he willing to accept it.

Since then, the relationship between the two has been self-evident.

After offending the chief minister of the cabinet, Yu Shenxing knew that he was no longer suitable to stay in the court. He took the initiative to resign and return to his hometown. Soon, the emperor's approval came down.

Yu Shenxing knew that the person who approved his resignation was not the young emperor, but his teacher Zhang Juzheng.

After many years, Yu Shenxing can still clearly remember every word of Zhang Juzheng's rebuke.

So when such familiar words came out of Zhang Chonghui's mouth, Yu Shenxing was immediately shocked! At the same time, the ridiculous idea that was thrown out of my mind not long ago came back again!

Could it be that... Zhang Chonghui is really Zhang Juzheng?

"Taiyue...is that you?" Yu Shenxing looked at Zhang Chonghui and asked cautiously.

This time, Zhang Chonghui did not answer. He turned around and left. Before leaving, he rolled his eyes and said lightly:
  "Neuropathy."

……

Yu Shenxing did not pursue Zhang Chonghui to question him, but he did not leave the Zhang family either. After all, the funeral was about to begin, and he had said that he would see Zhang Jingxiu off for the last time.

Not long after, Wang Xijue also came.

Wang Xijue knew that Qiu Li was crazy, but he did not ask Yu Shenxing about it.

Yu Shenxing also knew that Wang Xijue knew that Qiu Li was crazy, but he did not mention it.

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding and both chose to remain silent.

……

The auspicious time for the funeral had arrived, and it was still dark.

According to the funeral ceremony, the "guide" who walks at the front of the funeral procession and "guides the way" for the deceased should be the elder of the clan.

However, at this time, the Zhang family almost no longer even had any relatives. It didn't matter what clan they were from, whether they were old or not. A few strong men carried the coffin at the front.

The first person behind the coffin was Zhang Jingxiu's eldest son Zhang Chonghui. As the eldest son and a filial son, this six-year-old child was actually the Zhang family member standing at the front in the team.

Such a scene is truly depressing.

In this gray morning, the sound of a suona sounded from time to time, and the dark coffins led the not so vast funeral procession out of the Zhang family gate one after another.

As the 'first' member of the Zhang family to step out of the Zhang family, Zhang Chonghui didn't feel much emotion when he stepped out of the door and saw the 'world' outside.

Logically speaking, what he saw should be streets and alleys with busy traffic. However, all he saw were the Jinyi guards who had surrounded the road.

Zhang Chonghui knew that these royal guards were about to escort them all the way. It's not to protect them, but because I'm afraid they'll run away.

At the same time, in the luxurious building closest to the Zhang family mansion, King Lu Zhu Yiliu had just put down his brush, and then let out a long yawn. It could be seen from the dark bags under his eyes that he had not slept all night.

Standing next to his table was Luo Sigong, who was dressed in low-key clothing.

"Have all the things that need to be dealt with been dealt with?" Zhu Yili asked.

"Your Highness, everything has been dealt with and there are no mistakes. You can rest assured." Luo Sigong replied respectfully.

"That's good." Zhu Yirui rubbed his tired eyes, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked instead:
  "By the way, what tricks did that boy Zhang Chonghui use? How could he drive such a big man like Qiu Li crazy?"
