After Yan Qiqi and Yan Bei left the backyard, they hurried back to the Yan Family mausoleum in the suburbs with the Duke's urn. Yan Family mausoleum covers a vast area. It is surrounded by mountains and water. Feng Shui is very good.
In the suburbs of early spring, there are few dead trees all over the mountains and fields. The ground is dry and yellow. When the cold wind blows, the falling dead leaves are blown around, and then fall on the ground slowly, adding a bit of desolation.
On weekdays, there is no one here. No one will wander to the cemetery. The grave keeper of the Yan family is an old man. At this time, he is narrowing his eyes and drinking small wine to warm up.
It was quiet all around, and the sound of a little noise was particularly loud. He suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofs and jumped up in an instant. He was a kung fu man. When he came out, he saw Yan Bei. He hurried to salute. He was stopped by Yan Bei. "Uncle Chen doesn't have to be polite. Open the door."
The man named Uncle Chen by Yan Bei was originally marching with Yan Tianji, because his right arm holding a knife was cut off by the enemy in a war, and he was not in the army after he came back.
Later, he went back to his hometown to do some small business, but he was bullied by local gangsters because of his physical disability. He couldn't even solve his food and clothing. By chance, Yan Tianji saved him and brought him back to the army again. According to Yan Tianji's idea, he wanted him to take a rest in the army. Old Chen has a backbone and says he can't eat and drink for nothing. Just as the people guarding the Yan Family mausoleum returned home, old Chen volunteered to come over.
Yan Tianji will come once a year, and both of them will drink to catch up with the past.
But today, Lao Chen didn't see Yan Tianji. Instead, he saw Yan Bei and the eldest lady he hadn't seen for several years.
He looked puzzled, "general Bei, what is this?"
Yan Bei's expression was heavy, "Lao Chen, this is my father's ashes..."
As soon as Lao Chen changed his look, he trembled his lips, "what did you say?"
Yan Bei's depressed mood was even more painful. Originally, he could bear it. Now he opened his mouth to explain. Before his words were exported, a sour feeling spread out from his chest and rushed down to his throat, almost killing him.
"My father left and died in the Northern Kingdom..."
Old Chen's face was pale, as if he had been struck by lightning. Seeing what the general's children were holding, he understood everything in a moment. His muddy eyes were filled with tears in an instant, like an old animal wailing, "general... Why did you leave like this!"
In the second half of his life, old Chen had to be caressed by Yan Tianji to have enough food and clothing. Now his benefactor died miserably. He was so painful that he cried that the world changed color. Yan Bei and Yan Qiqi couldn't persuade him at all. They had to help him one left and one right. They put old Chen, who was already crying weakly, into the cabin, and the two people continued to walk in.
The heavy stone door was opened. Yan Bei looked solemn and walked carefully holding the urn.
Yan Qiqi, the family Mausoleum of the Yan family, also entered for the first time.
Following Yan Bei's steps, he walked through a dark and lengthy bluestone step, which was cold and humid, plain and white, adding a few chills to people's body.
Yan Qiqi's body trembled a few times.
"Fourth brother, let's run out like this. What if Emperor Yan blames us? Don't you tear your face with him? Also, we just put our father here without waiting for our three brothers? They even their father's last side... "Yan Qiqi sobbed at this point.
It is said that my father didn't enjoy it for half his life, even for her own life.
Since seeing the fourth brother, her eye sockets have become shallow, as if she is particularly prone to tears.
Compared with her, Yan Bei is much calmer. He stops, holds the jar in one hand, turns around and gently erases Yan Qiqi's tears with the belly of the other finger. His tone is gentle. "Don't cry Qiqi. When your father is gone, you still have your brothers. Your brothers will protect you, protect you comprehensively, and won't let you suffer any more injustice."
The feeling of "heartache" is known only after personal experience, and no one can feel it.
His voice seemed very desolate in the open stone gate and echoed faintly in the room, "my father loves you most. If he has a spirit in heaven, it will hurt you to know that you are sad for him."
Yan Qiqi didn't know that when her father breathed in her arms, the last word he said was to let her go.
Even at the last moment, my father was still worried about his own safety.
My father also knew that he was not doing well in the north, so he came to save himself without hesitation?
But, in the final analysis, it's all my fault.
If, if I could bear it and convince my heart that Hao lianche deceived me for a reason, wouldn't all this happen?
At the thought of this, Yan Qiqi's tears fell down like broken beads, "fourth brother, I can't forgive myself. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my father wouldn't die. I'm too naive."
Yan Bei knows that the barrier in Qiqi's heart is not so easy to pass. "Qiqi, cheer up. Don't blame your father's death on yourself. That will only make your relatives hurt your enemies. Hurry up and find the real murderer, so as to comfort your father's spirit in heaven."
When Yan Qiqi was in the post station just now, he had told Yan Bei all the doubts about his father's death, so the brother and sister decided to leave quietly.
The prince came. Before Yan Qiqi left, he had arranged the place where the soldiers of the government would go. Xu Shian, the favorite Minister of Emperor Yan, would naturally be fine. There were also mingcanan and others who had their own place to go.
At the same time, there is another reason for Yan Bei to decide to go quietly. His father's name is not right when he leaves the north. If he makes a big fuss at this time and lets his father be buried with the etiquette of national funeral, it will only make those historians criticize his father.
What's more, Yan Bei and his family will suffer a lot at that time. In this way, their father's reputation will be damaged. Yan Bei will not do such a loss business.
It has to be said that Emperor Yan is an emperor who is good at playing with power between his hands. He knows how to make good use of public opinion. With a big hand, he gives Cheng Guogong's Government grace in such a grand manner. It seems that it is a reward not to be investigated, but in fact, he roasts Cheng Guogong's Government on a fire rack.
If this time we really follow the way of Emperor Yan, there may be great difficulties behind the government. If we turn over the old accounts at that time, they can't bear the consequences.
