Xiaohuangmen read out the imperial edict in person.
Huangfu Jianshou kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your majesty's grace."
After Xiaohuangmen left, Huangfu Jianshou said to Wang Ding again: "Thank you, General Chachi, for asking me to come here to pursue the imperial decree for my father."
Wang Dingdao: "There is no need to thank Mr. Huangfu. Old General Huangfu is a person I have admired all my life. After he died, I should do something for him."
"I want to see the old general again."
"General, please come with me."
Huangfu Jianshou was walking in front, but his steps were already a little messy, with one big step and one small step.
Entering Huangfusong's room, Wang Ding moved a chair and sat beside the bed.
He asked: "Is the mourning hall not ready yet?"
Huangfu Jianshou said: "It's almost here."
Even without the imperial edict from Wang Dingqiu, Huangfu Jianshou would definitely let Huangfu Song be buried gloriously. This is what a son should do.
Now, if you want to be buried according to royal etiquette, you need to prepare even more things.
"You guys, please go down first. I have something to say to Old General Huangfu," Wang Ding said.
Huangfu Jianshou waved his hand to let the maids in the room leave, but he hesitated a little and did not leave.
Wang Ding glanced at him and said nothing.
He lifted the white cloth, revealing Huangfu Song's face.
Wang Dingdao: "The old general has worked hard for the country all his life, but I didn't expect that he would end up like this in the end. Mr. Huangfu, do you think the old general's life is worth it?"
Huangfu Jianshou whispered: "I don't know, but my father will not regret it."
"Won't you regret it?"
Wang Ding also felt that if he had regretted it, Huangfu Song would not have committed suicide.
……
Huangfu insisted on looking at Wang Ding's back, feeling very conflicted in his heart.
He didn't know if Wang Ding already had evidence.
I don’t know what Wang Ding means now.
If it was already known that his father, Huangfu Song, was the one who sent someone to assassinate him, why would Wang Ding enter the palace, ask for this imperial edict for Huangfu Song, pursue the title of General of Hussars, and be buried with the honors of a prince?
But if Wang Ding doesn’t know, what does it mean at this moment?
In Huangfu Jianshou's heart, there seemed to be ten thousand fine needles piercing his heart.
Pretending not to know?
Or take the initiative to admit it?
Or...
Looking at Wang Ding's back, the thought in Huangfu Jianshou's mind disappeared in a flash.
At this moment, there were only him and Wang Ding in the house, and Wang Ding's guards were outside. If he took action...
If he were to attack the figure in front of him at this moment, Huangfu Jianshou would not know whether his father would be happy or sad that he was still alive in heaven.
Even if he can succeed, today, the Huangfu family will disappear.
Plop!
Huangfu Jianshou suddenly knelt down.
Both knees hit the floor hard.
Wang Ding turned around, looked at Huangfu Jianshou, and said, "Huangfu Minister, what do you mean?"
Huangfu Jianshou, who was extremely troubled, still made his choice.
Perhaps, this was the opportunity Wang Ding specially gave him.
Huangfu Jianshou knelt on the ground and said, "The kindness of the chariot and cavalry generals will never be forgotten by the Huangfu family."
"A few days ago, the general was assassinated, and it was an assassin sent by my father. Now that my father is dead, if the chariot general has not calmed down, the Huangfu family will let the general handle it without any complaints."
Huangfu insisted on telling the truth. He no longer struggled or concealed it. After telling it, he felt much more relaxed. He looked at Wang Ding and calmly accepted the sword that might appear.
Wang Dingdao: "How do you know? Did General Huangfu admit it himself?"
Huangfu Jianshou shook his head and said: "My father only told a certain person that the assassin in the sky prison might be able to tell his name."
Wang Dingdao: "Then why do you admit that maybe the assassin in the prison did not name the old general Huangfu."
Huangfu Jianshou murmured: "Isn't it?"
"Even if those assassins mentioned the old general's name, I wouldn't believe it." Wang Ding said.
Huangfu Jianshou's proactive admission also allowed Wang Ding to make the final decision.
Huangfu Jianshou watched Wang Ding leave. After a long time, he stood up and looked at Huangfu Song lying on the bed.
Huangfu Jianshou didn't know whether his father died unjustly or not.
Even if the assassin confessed that it was Huangfu Song, Wang Ding would not believe it...
Huangfu Jianshou stood up, shook his head, covered Huangfu Song's face with the white cloth again, and stopped thinking about it.
This was said by Wang Dingcai after Huangfu Song committed suicide.
But if Huangfusong had not died, this might not be the result.
Huangfu Jianshou was still glad that he confessed to Wang Ding.
There is no need for him to be worried, he can take care of Huangfu Song's funeral arrangements in the past few days.
As a famous general of the Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song's death not only required people from Chang'an to pay homage, but Huangfu Jianshou also had to inform his relatives and friends outside Chang'an.
Huangfu Song's mausoleum has been prepared before, but it will only be built according to Huangfu Song's previous identity.
Now it is necessary to bury it with royal rites. Whether it is a mausoleum or a coffin, as well as clothing and funerary objects, all must be prepared again.
Cai Yong, Huang Wan, Yang Biao and other ministers have all gone to Huangfu's house to pay their respects.
In addition, many people from other prefectures and counties came to Chang'an after hearing the news.
Lords such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also immediately sent people to Chang'an to pay their respects after hearing about Huangfu Song's death.
With Huangfu Song's reputation, even if they don't recognize Liu Xie as the emperor now, they will still send people to show their respect for Huangfu Song after learning of Huangfu Song's death.
It would take some time for Huangfu Song to be buried, and Wang Ding did not go to Huangfu's house again.
In the sky prison, Lu Hao is still "interrogating" the assassin.
Wang Ding's operation confused many ministers in Chang'an.
The Huangfu family announced to the outside world that Huangfu Song died of illness.
But Dong Cheng, Huang Wan and others must all know that Huangfu Song died of suicide.
By coming to Huangfu's house to express condolences, Huang Wan and Dong Cheng met.
"Uncle Guo, what does Wang Ding mean?" Huang Wan asked in a low voice.
Dong Chengdao: "I don't know either."
The two of them lowered their heads slightly, looking forward, with only their lips moving slightly.
Huang Wan said: "Could you still want to attack others?"
They are very passive now, Huangfu Song is dead.
If at this time, Wang Ding said that he was plotting the assassination behind his back, Huang Wan would not be able to clear it out even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Even if Liu Xie knew that he was wronged, he could not save him. Now it depends on whether Wang Ding wants to mess with him or not.
Huang Wan has been in a lot of pain these past few days. Every night, when it is almost dawn, he only squints for a while.
He is not as good as Huangfu Song, who has the courage to face death.
Dong Cheng is not very worried. He is the uncle of the state, and he thinks that his relationship with Wang Ding is not bad.
If Wang Ding still wants to use this to get rid of a political opponent, Huang Wan will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
Dong Cheng turned his head slightly and looked at Huang Wan, who had black eyes and a haggard face. He whispered: "Sikong Anxin, the chariot and cavalry general is not a person who kills indiscriminately."
