Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six
Li Lianying took out a document from her pocket and handed it to Guangxu.Guangxu took a look and couldn't help shouting: "Abolish big brother!"
The elder brother Pu Jun is the son of Prince Duan Zaiyi and the nephew of Guangxu, who was established as the elder brother by Cixi a few years ago.First, because King Duan Zaiyi supported the Boxers to enter Beijing, he offended foreigners and was expelled from the Mongolian Alxa Banner;
Guangxu felt quite happy at this time, not because he was afraid that Pu Jun would seize his throne, but because he would not have to suffer from him anymore.Once Guangxu was leaning on a pillar on the porch to watch, when he was hit by something suddenly, his lips were swollen from the fall, and when the eunuch helped him up, he realized that it was the elder brother who pushed him for no reason.At this time, seeing Cixi's decision to expel him from the royal ranks, he felt extremely relaxed.Guangxu said: "The important affairs of the Zongshe are all decided by the Queen Mother."
Li Lianying said: "Since the emperor said so, let's write an order."
Guangxu wrote the decree and handed it over to Li Lianying, who withdrew.
After Li Lianying went out, he handed over the emperor's imperial decree to Rong Lu, and Rong Lu hurried to the elder brother's courtyard, opened his voice, and shouted: "Declaration!"
The door curtain was raised, and the white-haired Nanny Liu supported the curtain with one hand and waved inside with the other.The elder brother Pu Jun, who was frowning, came out.
Rong Lu went to the door, stood facing south under the dripping eaves, and read the Queen Mother's order to Pu Jun.
Pu Jun fell on the ground and cried out.
Rong Lu persuaded: "Don't be sad, when the matter is over, Lafayette will definitely let you come back to work. You should know how to be decent, why cry so hard, maybe it will make people laugh."
Then, Rong Lu sent someone to send him to Alashan Banner in Mongolia to find his father Zaiyi.
Tang Yun has been restless these days, sleeping and eating. Li Ruidong and Mulanhua have gone out several times, but they haven't found any trace of Yin Fu, not even a single news or legend.Since Yin Fu was robbed by two female thieves in the middle of the night, Yin Fu seemed to have disappeared from the world, but his voice and smile kept flashing and ringing in front of Tang Yun's eyes and ears.
Yin Fu was slapped by a female thief in order to save Tang Yun, Tang Yun was even more anxious every time he thought of this.
Li Ruidong also felt guilty. He happened to be out of town late that night, so he went to check the sentry nearby.
Emperor Guangxu sent people to inquire about Yin Fu several times, and every time he heard that Yin Fu had no news, he sighed endlessly.
Those palace maids and eunuchs also like and respect Yin Fu, and these serious people often have a "cloudy sky" on their faces these days.
That night, Li Ruidong was resting in his room when he heard movement outside the door, so he approached the door, "Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the bullet grazed his scalp and hit the wall.Seeing that the situation was not good, he slammed the door shut, returned to the house, extinguished the candle with a dart, and fell on the ceiling wall.
"Bang, bang..." There was another gunshot, and the bullet hit the wall.
"Li Ruidong, you have disobeyed the will of God, and you deserve to die!" A woman's voice came, it was the voice of Miss Dinah, the killer sent by the Eighth Nations Army.
This devilish woman.
This ghost always hovers above the royal ranks.
Li Ruidong didn't speak, waiting for the ghost to appear.
The ghost did not appear, but Magnolia, guards and others rushed to hear the sound.
Someone brought a candle, and people discovered that Li Ruidong was leaning against the top wall, with his feet wrapped around a wooden pillar.
"Master Li is really good at it, he turned into a gecko." Mulan laughed.
Li Ruidong floated down and saw several holes in the bed curtain pierced by bullets. He said with a smile, "There are a few more flowers blooming on it."
"Is that foreign woman here again? The gunfire is so loud." Mulan said looking at the bullet marks on the wall.
"That's right, this ghost woman has stalked me." Li Ruidong brushed off the wall dust on his body, and asked, "Is there any news about Master Yin?"
Magnolia shook her head, a few traces of melancholy flashed in her eyes.
"Did he really pass away? Those two women are demon kings who kill people without blinking an eye." Li Ruidong's eyes were a little sour when he said this, and tears couldn't help gushing out of his eyes.
Mulanhua's tears were rolling in her eyes. She said: "In terms of Master Yin's martial arts, he is among the best in Jianghu, but he was hit by a mandarin duck's finger and injured. It's hard to say. Manager Li sent several groups of people to look around , some of these people have already returned, and they all said that there is no whereabouts of Master Yin..."
"Could he have been murdered?" Li Ruidong muttered to himself, "There should be a clue!"
A few days later, several guards who had gone to Shanxi came back on horseback, bringing back a judge's pen and a coat with bloodstains.When Li Ruidong saw it, he burst into tears.
"This is Master Yin's coat, and it is Master Yin's weapon!" His cry attracted many people.Magnolia cried when she saw it. When Tang Yun heard that Yin Fu's relic had been found, his eyes were crying like peaches.Emperor Guangxu, Empress Longyu and Concubine Jin also sighed when they heard that Yin Fu was dead.
Yin Fu's popularity was very good, and all the people in the royal ranks mourned. Li Lianying and Tang Yun conveyed Cixi's edict and built a tomb for Yin Fu in the northern suburb of Kaifeng Mansion.
That afternoon, a funeral procession marched out of Kaifeng's North City Gate and made a detour to a mound in the northern suburbs.Twelve guards carried a coffin of nanmu wood, with paper streamers fluttering, mournful and joyful, Li Ruidong, Mulanhua, Li Lianying and others surrounded Tang Yun and walked in front of the team.Inside the coffin were the bloody coat that Yin Fu wore and his weapon, the judge's pen.The coffin was covered with multicolored silk, and a red silk flag with Yin Fu's name written on it hung high in front of the coffin.
Li Ruidong led several soldiers to dig a tomb, and then hung the coffin with ropes for burial, with the head of the coffin facing southwest.A small hole was dug in the southwest and a lighted oil lamp was put in.At this time, Mulanhua looked at Li Ruidong and whispered, "Master Li, I forgot to tell Mr. Yin's family."
Li Ruidong said with red eyes: "Don't tell me, you won't see the body when you come, and you will cry even worse. It's already good enough that Lafayette gave you this kindness."
Magnolia poked Li Ruidong again: "Look, Lafayette doesn't look right."
Li Ruidong looked at Tang Yun, only to see that she was in a trance, her eyes were dull, and she had no more tears.Suddenly, she took out a pair of scissors from her bosom, stabbed in the chest... Li Ruidong's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward and grabbed Tang Yun's wrist holding the scissors, and the scissors fell to the ground. "Don't do this, Lafayette!" Tang Yun shouted: "I want to die with him!" Li Lianying rushed over and said: "Lafayette, the dragon's body is important, let's go back and rest." As he spoke, he called several eunuchs, and forced Tang Yun into the car, and returned to the Kaifeng Palace. A Mr. Yin and Yang swept the coffin from one end to the other with a bunch of thatch in his hand, saying, "Old ghosts go out, new ghosts come in!" A piece of paper to show that the deceased had sons and daughters.Under the grave mound, use three stones to set up a gate shape, with the gate facing the high mountain, in order to make the family prosperous. Li Ruidong put the spirit head banner on the top of the grave, and the mourning stick on the sunny side of the grave.Mulanhua erected a stone tablet in front of the grave, engraved on it: "Mr. Yin Fu, a famous Baguazhang teacher, is in the tomb of clothes." Yin Fu's life story is engraved on the back of the tablet. Magnolia said regretfully: "It would be great if there was a photo." Li Ruidong said: "Even if it's a portrait." On the way back, Mulanhua asked Li Ruidong: "Master Li, why do you think Lafayette is so infatuated with Master Yin? Is it because she was a widow when she was young? She is so lonely!" Li Ruidong didn't answer, his eyes were looking at the misty field, how should he answer this question? "Grandpa Yin has a special smell, whether it's masculinity or sincere affection, I don't know, but it's refined." Li Ruidong still didn't speak. Magnolia said again: "The Lafayette was impulsive just now and wanted to be buried for Lord Yin. I think if this is true, there will be a lot of discussion in the world, the government and the public will be shocked, and even foreigners will be stunned. A majestic empress dowager wants to sacrifice for a How should the history of the Qing Dynasty be written when the guards of the Qing palace were buried?" Li Ruidong wanted to change the topic, so he said: "After the death of Qing Taizu Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, there were concubines buried, but after Emperor Shunzhi, very few people buried concubines with concubines." Mulan said: "I heard that after the death of Qin Shihuang, more than 10,000 noble concubines and court ladies were buried for him!" Li Ruidong said: "The "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" records such a thing: In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a king of Guangchuan who often gathered rogue youngsters to hunt and rob tombs. Once they robbed an ancient tomb. The tomb was well sealed. It was covered with chalk more than a foot thick and mica more than a foot deep, so when the tomb was dug up, the corpse was well preserved. There were more than a hundred corpses, sitting or lying on each other, and there was only one man in the tomb. The rest were all women. It was later found out that King Zhou You was buried in this tomb, and these more than a hundred women were all concubines who died for King Zhou You. After the death of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, forty people were buried for him. Famous concubines and palace maids, among them, more than a dozen court maids who served in the bedroom were all killed, and the rest committed suicide. After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di died, there were more than 30 palace concubines who were buried for him. On the day of Ming Chengzu's death, more than 30 The concubines were taken to the back hall. There was a wooden bed with a hanging rope on it. The concubines got on the wooden bed one by one with a hanging rope around their necks. The eunuch kicked the wooden bed away, and the concubines were strangled to death by the hanging rope one after another. Among the palace concubines, there was a concubine selected by North Korea. When she was dying, she repeatedly called out to the nurse who was waiting by her side: "Mother, I'm going! Mother, I'm going!" Magnolia said: "If the burial person is willing, I think it is also a shocking thing to cry ghosts and gods. Like Lafayette, he died for love!" After hearing this, Li Ruidong was silent again. At this time, a white horse came galloping fast, immediately rolled down a bloody guard, and shouted loudly: "Master Li, it's too bad, the thieves are besieging the palace, and the guards can't resist it!"
Li Ruidong looked at Tang Yun, only to see that she was in a trance, her eyes were dull, and she had no more tears.Suddenly, she took out a pair of scissors from her bosom, stabbed in the chest... Li Ruidong's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward and grabbed Tang Yun's wrist holding the scissors, and the scissors fell to the ground. "Don't do this, Lafayette!"
