Qingyang entered Yueyang City and lived in a small house in the east of the city for three days. During these three days, except for Du Qiniang who was by her side, she saw no one else and could not come in or out at will. It was really
Extremely upset.
At this time, news about Han Qian's official appointment as governor of Xuzhou had also spread in Yueyang City.
When Du Qiniang heard the news, she was very happy to tell Qingyang.
Qingyang sneered:
"These people guessed that Han Qian was in mourning just to show off, and by conferring him the title of governor of Xuzhou, they just wanted to further trap him in Xuzhou - until all the power in Tanzhou was taken over by people like the concubine and the Zheng family.
Under control, what's the use of Han Qian's Xuzhou? Of course, Han Qian has various calculations, maybe he just wants to separate Xuzhou. You and I are just chess pieces that he throws out and ignores. You can do it for him
Why are you so happy?"
Du Qiniang didn't agree with Princess Qingyang's words, but she didn't argue with her, she just remained silent.
After a while, Qingyang gritted his teeth and asked Du Qiniang: "Did you go to see Lin Haizheng today? Did Han Qian still not send any letters today?"
When Qingyang left Xuzhou, she was convinced that Han Qian would never really stay in Xuzhou for three years, but she was thrown into a corner when she went to Yueyang. At this time, it was decided that Han Qian would succeed his father Han Daoxun as the governor of Xuzhou.
When she got down, she became somewhat uncontrollably panicked, fearing that if Han Qian's plan was just Xuzhou, then she would really become a discarded chess piece.
Especially under the current circumstances, her father is probably on the sidelines, so her status as a Shu princess is really of no use.
At this time, she was thinking about grabbing Han Qian and digging out his heart to see what he was thinking. Every once in a while, she would ask Du Qiniang to see Lin Haizheng and ask if there was any information about Xuzhou.
"I went to see Lieutenant Lin in the afternoon. Although four ships from Xuzhou or Xuzhou arrived in Yueyang today, there were no letters brought over." Du Qiniang was also quite distressed, but she remembered one thing and told her
Princess Qingyang said, "By the way, Miss Wang's family escorted Lord Wang Jixiong's coffin to Yueyang this afternoon. Lord Shen specially asked people to arrange Wang Jixiong's mourning hall in a house in Tonggu Lane in front of us. Your Highness has been here for the past two days.
I should go specifically to mourn Mr. Wang Jixiong..."
"Your Highness will not come here alone." Qingyang sighed and said.
Not mentioning the relationship between Yueyang and Chuzhou at this time, with Wang Jixiong's reputation, when the coffin was coffed in Yueyang City, Tan King Yang Yuanpu would bring many generals to mourn him. Qingyang knew that it would be difficult for her to meet Yang Yuanpu in private, but
Thinking of meeting her in Yuanjiang, Wang Jun, who had a calm temperament, she was very confused. She thought to herself, was it just that she was worried that Wang Jixiong would not be able to endure the hardship of such a long journey, so she, a weak woman, took the trouble to accompany Wang Jixiong all the way?
Rush to Xuzhou to mourn Han Daoxun?
"Qiniang, have you met Wang Jixiong's granddaughter Wang Jun before?" Qingyang asked Du Qiniang.
"I moved to Jinling with you from Jingxiang and met Miss Wang," Du Qiniang was deeply impressed by Wang Jun and said, "At that time, my master planned to capture Yin Peng, the governor of Chuzhou, and Miss Wang was afraid that my master would kill him.
After cheating on Governor Yin, he took a maid to Lanting Alley that night, knocked on the door and asked Governor Yin back. Although she was the granddaughter of Wang Jixiong, the daughter of Wang Wenqian, and was engaged to my family, my family also
I won’t do anything to her, but she is still very courageous when she dares to break into the door at night.”
"..." Qingyang was secretly shocked. She didn't expect that Wang Jun and Han Qian were involved in this way. It was unclear for a while that Han Qian did not agree with Wang Jixiong being buried in Xuzhou and insisted on driving Wang Jun and Wang Jixiong's corpses to Yueyang. What's in your heart is simply resentment towards the Wang family?
The situation is so confusing and complicated. Even though Qingyang prides herself on being extremely resourceful, she still feels that she is powerless at this time. She doesn't know what her brother is thinking in Yuzhou and whether he will send someone to contact her.
…………
…………
Jinling and Runzhou are at war, and war is about to break out. Even if the Yangtze River waterway is not completely interrupted, if you want to force it through, the risks you will take are far greater than when the Jinling Incident first broke out.
Unable to bury his grandfather in Xuzhou, and unable to return to his hometown of Runzhou in a short time, Wang Jun could only find a way to bury his grandfather in Yueyang or near Dongting Lake.
Fortunately, she took a boat to Yueyang, and everyone in Tanzhou treated her with enough courtesy. Shen Yang also specially asked someone to choose a house in Tonggu Lane to set up a mourning hall. Not only Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang and others, but also Han Daoming and Han Daochang. People came over as soon as possible in the afternoon to express their condolences.
Knowing that she was an orphan, with only three servants around her, there were too many inconveniences, so the concubine Wang Chaner specially sent Chun Shisanniang over to help take care of everything.
It was already late February, and Yueyang City was full of greenery, which made people feel less depressed.
Wang Jun was not very sad about his grandfather's death.
Han Daoxun was tortured to death. She rushed back to her old house in Runzhou to report the news, and her grandfather became seriously ill. Later, she heard that someone had taken Han Daoxun's body out of Jinling. Her grandfather expected that no matter who did it, Han Daoxun's body would be sent to Xuzhou for burial, so he I insisted on going to Xuzhou to pay my respects.
Wang Jun and the rest of the family were very aware of his grandfather's physical condition and were worried that his body would not be able to withstand such a long journey. It was only because he could not overcome his grandfather's will that he made the trip.
Being able to die of illness in Xuzhou was a fulfillment of his wish.
Wang Jun could understand her grandfather's mood and last wish, and was able to serve her grandfather on his bedside in his last days. Although she felt sad and could recall every detail of being taken care of by her grandfather since she was a child, she was far from devastated.
In other words, he was driven out of Xuzhou like this, and he was still in a bit of a mess, but he didn't know if his grandfather's trip had alleviated the hostility in his heart.
A short time after the mourning hall was set up, many people came to express their condolences. Wang Jun also understood the situation in Yueyang City more or less. Thinking of the thin and haggard figure in Longya Mountain, he felt inexplicably heartbroken and thought about how he could solve the problem. To prevent the current chaos and save hundreds of millions of people from suffering from war?
At night, people came to express condolences again. Wang Jun, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt in front of the soul to accompany him; the candles burned brightly, illuminating the Nuo Da mourning hall as brightly as day.
"The Grand Duke passed away in Xuzhou. Is there any doubt about the food and medicine provided by Longya City?" The visitor offered incense and took the opportunity to express condolences to his family and asked Wang Jundao. Wang Jixiong died of illness within two days of his visit to Xuzhou to mourn Han Daoxun. He always I wonder if Han Qian asked someone to tamper with him.
Wang Jun raised his head and glanced at the visitor's gloomy expression, and said: "Mr. Ziheng is overthinking it. My grandfather insisted on going to Xuzhou to mourn Uncle Han, so he knew that this trip would be his last trip away from home. When he left Runzhou , and also wrote a suicide note and sent it to Yangzhou and handed it to my father - and even if Han Qian resents his father, he will not embarrass my grandfather and me."
"Han Qian stayed in Xuzhou in the name of mourning, so he wanted to force the third prince. However, Shen Yang advocated granting him the position of governor of Xuzhou. The matter has become a foregone conclusion. Jiang Huo may be prosecuted tomorrow. Send him to Qianyang. I suspect that Shen Yang is in cahoots with Han Qian to help him plan for Xuzhou..." said the visitor.
Wang Jun originally didn't want to say more, but when he saw that the visitor believed that Han Qian and Shen Yang were colluding secretly, he felt a little depressed and couldn't help but retort: "Han Qian is really ambitious, so he will not be limited to Xuzhou; even if he wants to The purpose of planning for Xuzhou should be to arrange for close people, so that everyone can feel more at ease. Furthermore, Han Qian should have guessed Mr. Ziheng’s identity a long time ago. If Mr. Ziheng really thinks so, I’m afraid he will still be Han Qian has it at his fingertips."
"How is that possible?" the visitor asked in shock.
At this moment, Chun Shisanniang's voice came over, and Wang Jun didn't want to explain any more, so he returned the gift, stood up, and was about to send someone away.
"Miss, would you like me to arrange for a manpower escort to meet you in Yangzhou?" The visitor took the time to ask.
"Dad is in Yangzhou, and there are always people mourning at my grandfather's tomb. Although Wang Jun is a daughter and can't do anything else, she probably can only mourn at the tomb on my father's behalf," Wang Jun said.
The visitor was slightly startled. At this time, Chun Shisanniang had already entered the courtyard. It was not convenient to talk to Wang Jun anymore, so he bowed his hands to Chun Shisanniang and left.
The boat entered the city in the afternoon and Wang Jixiong stopped in the city. People came to express their condolences one after another. When Chun Shisanniang saw this familiar figure disappearing outside the courtyard gate, she did not become suspicious and said to Wang Jun: "Master Shen When I met the concubine in the afternoon, the prince mentioned that Mr. Wang was a famous Prime Minister of Chu and a great Confucian, and it was Yueyang’s good fortune that he was buried in Yueyang..."
"Lao Chunsi has remembered everything." Wang Jun saluted.
