Chapter 181 If you want to be pretty and filial 【order】

Qianqing Palace

It was quiet in the palace, and the atmosphere was rather depressing.

After today's Great Court Meeting, the Son of Heaven did not return to the Leopard Room. The reason why he lived in the Leopard Room in the past was because the cabinet and the Empress Dowager were very strict with him, so that the Son of Heaven could not let go of whatever he wanted to do.

That's why the emperor built another leopard room, and he couldn't wait to move into the leopard room after the leopard room was built.

It's just that during this turmoil, Zhu Houzhao suddenly discovered that compared with the Forbidden City, the defense of the Leopard Room is obviously much weaker.

Another point is that after this incident, the cabinet suffered a lot. Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe didn't have much thought to trouble him, the emperor, for a while. As for the queen mother, Zhu Houzhao was not worried.

As long as Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others don't complain to the queen mother, the queen mother will generally not point fingers at him, the emperor.

So Zhu Houzhao returned to Qianqing Palace.

Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, and Wei Bin stood there one by one, with their heads bowed. As for the other servants, they all lowered their heads one by one, not even daring to breathe loudly, for fear of offending them, they were obviously in a bad mood. the Son of Heaven.

Luo Xiang, Wei Bin, and Gao Feng looked at the emperor's unsuspecting expression, and their hearts were full of doubts.

When the Great Court Meeting was over, the Son of Heaven was still fine, and he was in a happy mood. They hadn't seen the Son of Heaven so happy for a long time.

If the Son of Heaven is happy, those slaves will naturally be happy too.

It's just that when the emperor returned to Qianqing Palace, he ate a bowl of porridge specially, and practiced cross-legged there, the emperor suddenly changed his face for some reason, even they could clearly feel the emperor's displeasure.

It is not clear why the emperor suddenly changed his face, so several people did not dare to disturb the emperor, and could only pin their hopes on Li Huan.

After all, the emperor asked Qiu Ju to look for Li Huan, which means that even if there is something wrong with the emperor, Li Huan should be able to solve it, otherwise he would not be looking for Li Huan.

Under such circumstances, any movement was very obvious, so when there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, and Wei Bin couldn't help showing joy on their faces.

Looking up to the outside of the main hall, Li Huanzheng and Qiuju came over.

Glancing secretly at the emperor who was sitting there in a daze, Gao Feng hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Li Huan: "Brother Li, you are finally here. Our family is worried, come and see , Your Majesty, what happened?"

Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of Gao Feng and the others, Li Huan felt a little curious in his heart, and looked into the hall, just in time to meet Zhu Houzhao's eyes.

It turned out that Li Huan, Gao Feng and the others were talking in a low voice, which had alarmed Zhu Houzhao.

Seeing Li Huan coming, Zhu Houzhao said with joy on his face, "Since Li Qing is here, come in quickly!"

After speaking, he glared at Gao Feng and Luo Xiang and said, "What are you guys doing to stop Li Qing?"

Gao Feng and the others hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, aren't we saying hello to Brother Li?"

Speaking of which, Gao Feng and the others made an appearance of begging Li Huan, obviously hoping that Li Huan could help them plead with the emperor.

Seeing this, Li Huan couldn't help smiling, strode into the hall, saluted Zhu Houzhao, and said, "Your Majesty, they are just worried about His Majesty, so Your Majesty should not be as knowledgeable as them."

Zhu Houzhao didn't mean to be angry at all, but he was in a very unhappy mood at the moment. Hearing Li Huan's words, he immediately waved his hands at several people and said, "Okay, Li Qing is enough here. Step back, no one is allowed to come in without my call."

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao must have something to tell Li Huan, and this matter should be quite secret, and he doesn't want others to know.

Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and the others nodded to Li Huan, then called the little servants, and quietly exited the inner hall.

Soon there were only Li Huan and Zhu Houzhao left in the inner hall.

Zhu Houzhao exhaled foul breath, and said to Li Huan, "Li Qing, sit down and talk."

When there are no outsiders, Zhu Houzhao is actually quite easy to get along with, without any airs of the emperor.

You must know that in the past two years, Li Huan went to the Leopard Room many times. In the Leopard Room, Zhu Houzhao pulled a group of people to barbecue there more than once after practicing martial arts.

Moreover, the Son of Heaven grilled the meat himself, and then distributed the meat he roasted to everyone, even the servants and maids, so Zhu Houzhao was respected by the servants and maids.

Li Huan was naturally relaxed in front of Zhu Houzhao, without outsiders, he sat directly on the carpet with exquisite patterns, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, you have asked Qiu Ju to come over in such a hurry, but what's the matter?" ?"

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao showed a bit of hesitation on his face, as if there was something unspeakable hidden.

Li Huan noticed Zhu Houzhao's expression and couldn't help being even more surprised. Seeing the emperor's reaction, there was really something wrong, but he didn't know what it was, so the emperor couldn't even speak.

But Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth, subconsciously glanced at the entrance of the main hall, and then said in a low voice, "Li Qing, I... Is there something wrong with my body?"

Li Huan couldn't help looking at the emperor in doubt when he heard the words, then looked at Zhu Houzhao carefully, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has a ruddy complexion, full of energy and blood, and a healthy body, there is nothing wrong with it."

Speaking to Zhu Houzhao, Li Huan said: "If your majesty is worried, I will make a diagnosis for your majesty."

Zhu Houzhao took the initiative to stretch out his wrist, and Li Huan put his hand on the emperor's wrist, and carefully took the pulse for the emperor.

Finally, under the gaze of the Son of Heaven, he shook his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty's pulse beats strongly. Although he was unconscious for several days before, after this day, he has obviously recovered."

While Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, the worry on his face did not dissipate at all, instead it was a little more gloomy than before.

Now Li Huan was even more puzzled.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, looked at Li Huan, and said solemnly: "The reason why I called Li Qing here is that I want Li Qing to make a diagnosis for me. Since I am in good health, why have I not had any heirs yet! "

During Zhu Houzhao's cross-legged practice before, because the affairs of the court were almost dealt with, and when he was relaxed, Zhu Houzhao inexplicably thought of what would happen to the Great Ming Dynasty if he didn't wake up this time.

With this thought, Zhu Houzhao suddenly discovered a big problem that he had neglected in his daily life, that is, he had no heirs under his knees.

One must know that when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he had already married the current Empress Xia, and the two had been married for at least five or six years.

But so far, Empress Xia's stomach has not moved at all. Of course, if it is only Empress Xia's stomach that has not moved, then that's all.

Even if Zhu Houzhao thinks about it carefully, there are at least a hundred women in the harem he favors, and he didn't order anyone to take precautions during this period.

After all, his heirs are really too difficult. His father, Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youtang, has only one woman, the Queen Mother Zhang, who only gave birth to two males. Zhu Houzhao is the eldest son, and the second son died early, so it is said that he He is the only one in this lineage until now.

Even if this kind of situation is placed in the homes of ordinary people, it is a big problem. There is a saying that there are three unfilial piety, and the biggest problem is to have no descendants.There is even a saying called cutting off children and grandchildren.

The former Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that he had no heirs, and he thought about the queen and all the concubines in the harem.

In this case, no matter how stupid Zhu Houzhao was, he realized that there might be something wrong with his own body. Otherwise, if it wasn't for his own problems, it would be impossible for him to spoil so many women in the harem, and none of them were pregnant. of.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Li Huan's expression gradually became serious.

If any trivial matter is said to be caused by the emperor, it is not a trivial matter, let alone the situation of the emperor is really not a trivial matter.

To put it in a small way, it means having no descendants, and to say it in a big way, it means to cut off the inheritance.

A hundred years after Zhu Houzhao, the throne will be passed on to the prince, but now Zhu Houzhao doesn't even have a single heir, how can this be passed on in an orderly manner.

That is to say, today's emperor is only in his 20s, and he is still young. Many ministers in the court and even Queen Mother Zhang in the harem have not realized the problem of the son of the emperor.

After all, the Son of Heaven was too young, and no one thought about the succession of the throne once something happened to the Son of Heaven.

But now it is different, after going through such a situation, the emperor almost couldn't sleep, even the emperor was aware of this problem, Li Huan didn't believe that the queen mother and those important officials in the court didn't realize it.

Even if you don't realize it right now, after a while, if the turmoil in the court subsides, someone will definitely realize it.

Seeing that Li Huan's expression became serious, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, tell me, there must be something wrong with my body, right?"

Judging by Zhu Houzhao's expression, I'm afraid he also knows in his heart that the matter may really be on him.

Li Huan didn't speak, but put his hand on Zhu Houzhao's wrist again, and then quietly helped the emperor check.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything either, he trusted Li Huan's medical skills, otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered someone to recruit Li Huan as soon as he realized the problem.

Even if there is really something wrong with his body, Zhu Houzhao will not worry that Li Huan will leak it out. Li Huan is the only one who can reassure him about such private matters.

After a while, Li Huan shook his head at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, I checked your Majesty's body again, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help sinking his heart. If even Li Huan can't figure out his problem, does it mean that his problem is serious.

Li Huan took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to send the imperial physician here to see your Majesty?"

Zhu Houzhao subconsciously shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that those imperial physicians will not be able to see my condition. These imperial physicians have helped me to see my health whenever I have been ill these years, and no imperial physician has ever said that I have any physical problems."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Huan with a look of frustration on his face and said, "Li Qing, do you think I'm really going to have no heirs?"

Li Huandang even shook his head and said: "Your Majesty needn't be so worried. Although I can't see what's wrong with Your Majesty's health, I recommend two people to Your Majesty. These two people may be able to see what's wrong with Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, tell me, who is the magic doctor?"

To be admired by Li Huan is obviously not an ordinary person, and there must be something extraordinary.

Li Huan pondered for a while and said, "One of them is a well-known miracle doctor in the Jianghu. He is known as Ping Yizhi, a famous murderer doctor."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, and said rather puzzled: "Since he is a miracle doctor, why is he also called a famous murderer doctor?"

It's really that this name is too weird, even the emperor is very curious.

Li Huan explained the origin of the name Ping Yizhi, a famous doctor who kills people. When Zhu Houzhao learned that the other party saved one person, he would kill another person, and immediately said with a worried expression: "What kind of doctor is this? Why do you want to kill people, this kind of person has even won the title of a miracle doctor, it seems that my local government in Daming is too conniving with this kind of madman."

People in the Jianghu take Ping Yizhi's rules for granted, but in the eyes of Zhu Houzhao, the king of a country, such rules as Ping Yizhi's are simply ignoring the king's law, and he doesn't feel any pity to kill him.

Li Huan was not at all surprised by Zhu Houzhao's reaction, and said, "Since Your Majesty doesn't like this person, I have another person to recommend to Your Majesty."

Zhu Hou looked at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing, tell me quickly, if this person is like that famous murderer doctor, Li Qing should not mention it. If I see such a devil-like character, I will definitely punish him .”

Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the person I recommend to Your Majesty is a true Taoist cultivator, Shao Yuanjie, a real Taoist from Longhu Mountain."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard the words: "The real Shao Yuanjie? I have heard his name mentioned before, and it seems that he is cultivating for the Tao."

Li Huan nodded slightly and said: "Since your Majesty has heard about this Master Shao, you may not know that this man is proficient in the secret art of the room, and he is also regarded as a master of this way. Maybe he can see the location of your Majesty's illness."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slowly and said, "Since that's the case, then I will send an order to urgently call this Shao Zhenren to Beijing."

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and Li Huan said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Maybe you and I think too much. Besides, even if there is any problem, just find a way to solve it."

Zhu Houzhao was comforted by Li Huan, smiled and said, "I believe what Li Qing said."

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao said: "Since Li Qing is here, let's have lunch with me before leaving the palace. There is one more thing that needs to be troubled by Li Qing."

Li Huan asked suspiciously: "I don't know what's the matter with Your Majesty?"

Zhu Houzhao got up and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Qiu Ju, Gao Feng, pass the order to the imperial dining room, order them to pass the food!"

Qiu Ju and Gao Feng immediately responded when they heard the words.

Soon a somewhat delicate and appetizing meal was placed in front of him. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had no intention of opening his mouth, Li Huan didn't ask again, but ate with Zhu Houzhao.

After filling his stomach, Li Huan couldn't help sighing: "I've been really busy these two days, and now I finally have a full meal at His Majesty's place."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help sighing when he heard the words: "Because of my business, I have troubled Li Qing."

Li Huan took the towel from the servant, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, can you tell me now what you want me to do?"

Zhu Houzhao looked righteous and said: "Zhang Mao died, I should send someone to represent me to condolences to the British government. After thinking about it, I will let Li Qing go on my behalf."

Li Huan was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to arrange such an errand for him.

But Li Huan didn't refuse, Dang Li nodded and said: "In this case, I will go through with it."

While speaking, Zhu Houzhao suddenly glanced at Li Huan and said, "Li Qing's family can arrange a marriage for Li Qing, or does Li Qing have a woman in love?"

The emperor's jumping speed was so great that Li Huan couldn't react.

After regaining consciousness, Li Huan shook his head towards the emperor and said: "My Li family is not prosperous. In my generation, my father has only me under his knees. I have reached the age of marriage a few years ago, but I never thought about it. Father was murdered by others, so the marriage has been delayed, so there is no marriage so far."

Although Zhu Houzhao already knew about Li Huan's life experience, but hearing what Li Huan said now, he still couldn't help feeling empathetic.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, the situation of the two is really quite similar.

Both are the only sons in the family, and both of them have fathers who died early, but one was born in the royal family and the other was born in a local family of hundreds of families.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Now Li Qing, you have also reached the age of weak crown, it is time to consider marrying a virtuous and virtuous woman, start a family and start a business, and spread branches and leaves for the Li family."

Li Huan said with a smile: "my mother is far away in Fujian, and such important events must be reported to my mother, who is in charge of it. Besides, the matter of marriage will naturally come back when it should come. I am not in a hurry."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said: "It's good for Li Qing to know in his heart. I think Li Qing heard the British Duke's last words before, and I also heard that the British Duke has a daughter under his knees, and she is a famous beauty. Since this Fan Liqing wants to go to the British government to express my condolences on my behalf, so you might as well take this opportunity to see how the girl of the British government is doing, you can catch Li Qing's eyes."

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said teasingly, "If Li Qing likes it, I will let the queen be your matchmaker."

Li Huan couldn't help coughing violently when he heard the words: "If your Majesty is fine, I will leave first."

It was rare to see Li Huan showing such a distressed appearance, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing out loud at Li Huan's distressed appearance.

While laughing, he waved his hands at Li Huan and said, "Go, go, remember not to forget to take a look at the girl from the British government."

After leaving the imperial city, although Li Huan said that he had received the order of the emperor, he would go to the British government to express his condolences on behalf of the emperor, and the emperor even sent Qiu Ju to accompany him.

The two are the representatives of the emperor.

Li Huan didn't leave the imperial city and ran to the British government, but took Qiu Ju with him first, and returned to his residence in Beijing.

The mansion in Maoyan Lane was a little more angry because of Li Huan's return. Originally, there were Lianqiao and others in the mansion to take care of them, but now Lianqiao and others may still be on their way to Beijing, so the mansion can only follow him. Cao Yu, who came back together, was taking care of it.

Seeing Li Huan's return, Cao Yu hastily greeted him with two servants.

Li Huan gave Cao Yu some instructions, and soon Li Huan changed into a black uniform. After all, he was going to the British government to pay his condolences. He couldn't go there in a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife. .

What you know is that he is expressing condolences on behalf of the emperor. If you don't know, you may think that he is going to the British government to arrest people.

Putting on a black uniform, Li Huan was tall and straight, with a good demeanor. In addition, he had been in a high position for the past few years, wielding power over life and death.

Seeing Li Huan's attire, Qiu Ju couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Li is really handsome and mighty. Looking around the world, I really can't find anyone else."

Li Huan couldn't help laughing and said, "When will Brother Qiu learn to make fun of me?"

Qiu Ju heard the words and couldn't help laughing: "Our family is not joking. Compared with the first time I saw Brother Li, Brother Li has changed a lot now. If you don't know the identity of Brother Li, you can say that you are a prince and nobleman. , I'm afraid no one will doubt it."

Li Huan laughed loudly and said, "Okay, even if you praise me again, it won't do any good."

After tidying up, Li Huan's heart moved, and he whispered a few words to Cao Yu.

When Cao Yu heard the words and left, it didn't take long before he saw Yue Buqun, who was dressed in the official uniform of Jin Yiwei, striding over.

Seeing Li Huan, he stepped forward and said: "I have seen your lord, and your lord has come down to find your subordinates. I wonder if you have any orders?"

To be honest, Yue Buqun has changed a lot. Looking at Yue Buqun's speech and behavior now, if he doesn't know Yue Buqun's details, he will think that Yue Buqun is an old man who has been in officialdom.

It can only be said that Yue Buqun's ability to adapt is really strong, and it may be that he has really assumed his current identity.

Regarding Yue Buqun, if Li Huan was a little wary at the beginning, after getting along with him during this period of time, Yue Buqun never compromised on his orders, and Li Huan's behavior towards Yue Buqun was natural. is very satisfied.

Even Li Huan was thinking about whether to promote Yue Buqun to an official position and give him a position of Jinyiwei Qianhu.

Yue Buqun just felt that Li Huan was looking at him, but he didn't know that Li Huan was thinking of promoting him. If he knew, he didn't know how Yue Buqun would react.

Seeing that Li Huan was in a daze, Yue Buqun didn't dare to disturb Li Huan, but respectfully stood beside Li Huan with his hands down.

Qiu Ju at the side saw Li Huan's background, coughed lightly after a while and said, "Brother Li, what are you thinking?"

Li Huan came back to his senses, nodded slightly at Qiu Ju, his eyes fell on Yue Buqun, and said slowly: "Yue Baihu, I have a task for you. His Majesty asks for your merits and promotes you to Jinyiwei Qianhu, and then you will be a dignified Jinyiwei Qianhu official in the imperial court, Guangzong Yaozu is no problem."

A bright light flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Thank you, my lord, I swear to serve you to the death."

Li Huan said in a low voice: "Go and quietly arrest Ping Yizhi, the famous murderer doctor. As long as you do this well, I will never break your promise. If you come back safe and sound with Ping Yizhi, you will be Jinyiwei Qian of my Jinyiwei." household."

Yue Buqun cupped his hands at Li Huan and said, "This subordinate takes orders."

Obviously Li Huan still regarded Zhu Houzhao's heirs very seriously, although the emperor showed his disgust and disdain for the murderous famous doctor Ping Yizhi.

He also looked down on Ping Yizhi, but it would be good to capture Ping Yizhi as a backup. In case Shao Yuanjie can't solve the emperor's problem, there is still hope for Ping Yizhi, right?

Of course, if Shao Yuanjie had a way to solve the problem of the emperor, wouldn't Ping Yizhi have the final say on life or death?

Yue Buqun left in a hurry, while Li Huan and Qiu Ju got ready, rode on their horses and headed towards the British government.

Soon Li Huan and his party arrived at the British government.
As the body of the British prince was transported back to the British government, the entire British government fell into grief.

As the Optimus Prime of the British government, everyone in the British government heard the news of the British Duke's death, and some even cried to death.

Today, the street in front of the British government has been hung with white flags, and carriages are parked on the side of the long street. The visitors are all dignitaries in Beijing and officials of all sizes.

The parked carriages alone occupied a long street, and a famous dignitary and official walked into the British government with a heavy expression to express their condolences.

A special master of ceremonies sang salutes in front of the gate of the British government house, bursting with sorrow and joy. Standing in front of the gate of the mansion, looking up, one can see that there is a white cloth hanging on the plaque, and the sound of weeping came from the mansion.

When Li Huan and Qiu Ju walked in front of the British government one by one, what they saw was such a busy scene full of sadness.

Because the emperor personally decreed that Zhang Mao was named the King of Ningyang, and promised to be buried with the ceremony of a king, and even sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to assist in arranging Zhang Mao's funeral, so Zhang Mao's funeral was very large. It can be described as extremely sad and honorable.

Li Huan and Qiu Ju were surrounded by a few servants, coupled with Li Huan's decent demeanor, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Huan and Qiu Ju were extraordinary.

Some officials even saw Li Huan and Qiu Ju coming on horseback from a distance, recognized Li Huan's identity, and showed strange expressions on their faces.

Many people were very curious as to why Li Huan came to the British government at this time. They had never heard of any enmity between Li Huan and the British government, so they would not have come to trouble the British government.

Just when these officials who recognized Li Huan's identity were thinking wildly, Qiu Ju said: "Commander of the Jinyiwei, Li Huan, the commander of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, is ordered by His Majesty to come to express condolences to the British Duke Zhang Mao on behalf of the Son of Heaven."

Qiu Ju's yelling continued, which directly stunned many people.

Although everyone knows that, as the British Duke Zhang Mao, now that he passed away, the emperor promised to be buried with the ceremony of a king, so the emperor will definitely send someone to express condolences for the British Duke Zhang Mao on his behalf. I thought it was the official representative of the clan's family The emperor, representing the imperial family, did not expect that Li Huan would be representing the emperor.

Just when these officials were surprised, someone has already rushed into Tongbing in the mansion.

If Li Huan came to express his condolences in a private capacity, he naturally did not need to send someone from the British government to greet him, just like those officials, he just entered the British government to express his condolences.

But Li Huan now represents the Son of Heaven, so it is impossible to be casual, and everything must be done according to the etiquette, otherwise, people will definitely point at him behind his back, and he will be ashamed, or he will be punished. People say that the Son of Heaven knows people but does not know them.

In the British palace, the British Duke's coffin has been enshrined. A coffin made of high-quality sandalwood is extremely heavy and placed in the mourning hall, and Zhang Mao's body has obviously been restrained again. However, at this moment, he was lying there in a solemn shroud, and at first glance he seemed to be asleep.

Zhang Mao has many heirs, which can be said to be full of children and grandchildren, but there are only a few descendants.

Those who are qualified to kneel in this mourning hall to guard Zhang Mao's spirit are naturally direct descendants. At this moment, a steward of the British government came in a hurry and whispered in Zhang Lun's ear, "Master, The emperor sent Li Huan, the governor of the Chinese military governor's office, to express his condolences on his behalf."

Zhang Lun couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, took a deep breath, stood up hurriedly, told the third uncle beside him, and then hurriedly got up and went to greet him.

Zhang Lun is now the master of the British government, the new generation of British princes, his status can be described as extremely noble.

Although there were many people who came to express their condolences, there were only a few people who really needed Zhang Lun to greet them in person, such as Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, Ding Guogong Xu Guangzha, Chief Assistant Li Dongyang, Ge Lao Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming, etc. Few of the rest are qualified to be greeted by a Duke himself.

But Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzuo, Li Dongyang and others have all been here, so when many people saw Zhang Lun going out, they were all a little curious, who is coming here now?

In the inner hall, the female relatives also knelt together. As the daughter-in-law, grand-daughter-in-law, or married-out daughter-in-law of the British Duke, Yingying Yanyan cried until her eyes were red.

The actions of Zhang Lun outside naturally attracted the attention of these female relatives.

As Zhang Lun's main wife and now the Duke's wife, the Su family is naturally the core of these female relatives.

Su's summoned a confidant maid and asked in a low voice: "Who is it that wants to be greeted by the Duke?"

If there are female family members coming, these female family members will also welcome them in person.

Just like the British government has a close relationship with the Chengguo government. Not long ago, the Duke of Cheng Zhu Fu personally brought his wife to express condolences. Needless to say, the wife of the Duke of Cheng was naturally greeted by the British wife Su Shi leading a group of female relatives. .

Therefore, if a distinguished guest really came, the female family members of the Su family should be ready to welcome them at any time, otherwise they would definitely be accused behind the back of the British government for not understanding etiquette.

The confidant maid said in a low voice: "Ma'am, it is said that Li Huan, the governor of the Chinese military's governor's mansion, came to express his condolences on behalf of the emperor. Madam and others don't need to go out to meet them."

The Su family nodded slightly when they heard the words, and the other female family members were also secretly curious. They had heard of Li Huan's name, but they never thought that the other party came as an envoy of the emperor.

Being in the inner hall, one can actually clearly see the situation in the outer mourning hall, and many people can't help but subconsciously look towards the outer hall.

Among these female family members, there is a delicate figure dressed in filial piety, sitting on the ground, with black hair hanging down, and a filial cloth on the head, the eyes that were originally agile are now flushed, weeping softly from time to time, and the delicate body trembles slightly , big teardrops rolled down the cheeks,

Who is Zhang Jin, Zhang Mao's youngest daughter-in-law?

Because of his cold temper, although Zhang Geun was said to be very loved by the British government in the British government, few of his relatives in the government were close to him.

It can be said that in the huge British government, the only ones who really make Zhang Jin feel like a family member are the old Duke Zhang Mao and Zhang Lun. In Zhang Jin's eyes, the rest are true relatives, but they have no family relationship to speak of.

This can be seen from Zhang Jin sitting there alone, no one around him wants to get close to him.

However, Mrs. Su suddenly remembered that her husband had unintentionally mentioned not long ago that the old man intended to match Li Huan with his little aunt, so she couldn't help being a little curious about that Li Huan.

Putting aside her cold temper, to be honest, the Su family still highly respects the character, character, and appearance of this little aunt, Zhang Jin. Ask yourself that there are so many noble daughters in various noble families, no one can compare with her. It is comparable to this little aunt at home.

And what kind of hero is Li Huan, who can make his vision vicious, and regard Zhang Jin as a little daughter like a treasure in the palm of the old Duke who has the idea of ​​marrying his daughter?
In front of the British government, Zhang Lun saw Li Huan standing there with Qiu Ju and several small servants, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage to Li Huan and said: "Zhang Lun has met Lord Li, Your Majesty The emperor's son is mighty, and the British government and the whole family are grateful for the emperor's kindness, and weep."

With tears in Zhang Lun's eyes, he bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City.

Only then did Li Huan help Zhang Lun up and said: "Your Majesty said that the old Duke has worked hard for the country all his life, and he is loyal to Daming and the royal family. Your Majesty will keep this kind of love in his heart."

Zhang Lun burst into tears when he heard the words, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Huan conveyed the emperor's sorrow for the death of the British Duke, and comforted him: "My condolences to the British Duke."

Zhang Lun took a deep breath, led Li Huan into the British palace, and walked towards the mourning hall.

Li Huan was dressed in a black robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his hair tied into a crown. He was tall and straight, full of heroism, especially at this moment, with a dignified expression, showing his brilliant power.
