Four hundred and ninetieth chapters on trace regardless of heart
At first, Qin Liang's emotions were not well brewed, and he really couldn't cry. He almost felt like crying, but he could still control his grief tone: "Suddenly seeing the obituary of my grandfather's death, it was like hearing a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Although I was eager to return,
But he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were outside, so they did not dare to move lightly and could not make the trip. I only hope that the spirit of my grandfather in heaven will forgive my grandson-in-law for not being able to attend the funeral in time..."
He gradually felt the sad atmosphere, finally cried out, and said, "I really didn't expect that the last time I saw my grandfather, he was still in good health and spirit. I thought there would be many opportunities to listen to my grandfather Dundun's teachings. Now,
But there is only a handful of loess left, and we can no longer see each other!"
When Qin Liang said this, he covered his face with his sleeves and cried, and then bowed down. He couldn't control his sadness.
Gao Rou, Jiang Ji and others hurriedly came over to persuade, and the general's subordinates also said good things. Jia Chong said: "Generals are heroes all their lives, and they are all leaders of troops. They will not blame General Qin. General Qin is still in Hanzhong."
Defeating Jiang Wei has done great service to the country and can also comfort the general."
After all, Qin Liang was just his grandson-in-law. If someone tried to persuade him, he didn't need to act too much. He made up his mind and stood up after a moment of silence.
Facing Wang Ling's spiritual status????????????????, Qin Liang still couldn't help but think in his heart that the general died at the wrong time. His mood was very complicated and even suppressed.
I was filled with anger. Looking back on the situation in Hanzhong at that time, I was in a dilemma and it cost me half my life! At this time, I couldn't help but feel like I was surviving a disaster.
Fortunately, the crisis was finally over! Or perhaps because his mood had slackened a bit, Qin Liang quickly relaxed secretly.
He also listened to the words of his colleagues, wiped away his tears with the ripe linen cloth on his sleeve, and got up from the ground. Then the ministers who came with him started to burn incense and paid homage to Wang Ling's spiritual tablets one after another.
While Qin Liang was waiting aside, he used his peripheral vision to pay attention to the female family members kneeling in the mourning hall, and found that his maternal aunt Wang was also here. She was Wang Ling's biological sister, so it was not surprising that she was guarding the mourning hall today.
After all, they were in the mourning hall, and there were men from the Wang family receiving guests. None of the female family members, including Wang Lingjun, spoke to Qin Liang for the time being.
Everyone paid their respects and walked out of the mourning hall. Brother Wang Guang led the ministers to the pavilion hall to rest. After a while, the maids brought tea, dried fruits and other things. The master did not prepare food during the funeral, but now Wang Ling has already
It has been three months since his death.
Qin Liang didn't stay in the hall for long before he went out and came to the platform. Wang Guang also walked out afterwards.
The husband-in-law and son-in-law walked side by side and walked slowly along the wooden railing around the platform base.
After the greetings just now, the two of them were silent for a while. The general suddenly seemed very quiet, there was no more crying or noisy noise, only the sound of the cold spring breeze was left.
Wang Guang stroked his beard from his chin and said: "When there was a funeral at home, the emperor personally came to express his condolences. He summoned me in the hall where we were sitting just now. The emperor took the initiative to appoint me as the chief of Fujun.
General. I was also very surprised at the time, so I declined politely and refused, so I had to go to the study hall."
Qin Liang had known about this for a long time, and the eunuch Zhang Huan had discussed it when he came to Hanzhong. And later Wang Guang wrote a letter, and the news spread even wider, and even Chen Tai heard about it.
Qin Liang then said calmly: "It's okay for my uncle to accept the imperial order. After my grandfather passed away, Luoyang urgently needs someone to stay behind to take charge of the overall situation; my uncle happens to be a member of his own family, and he can take on the position of General of Fujun."
Wang Guang's color changed subtly. When Qin Liang turned to look at him with casual eyes, he vaguely noticed that Wang Guang seemed to have a sense of fear for the future.
Wang Guang pondered for a moment, pretending to be calm and said: "The emperor just verbally issued an edict, and then the empress dowager had to nod. Later, the empress dowager was willing to come forward to summon the ministers and arrange everything. This is better."
Qin Liang followed his intention and said: "Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager has been in charge of government affairs since Cao Zhaobo was assisting the government. It is indeed appropriate for Her Royal Highness to step in."
At this time, Qin Liang remembered a saying that a gentleman does not care about his heart when it comes to his deeds. It seems appropriate to apply it to Wang Guang's actions this time. After all, Wang Guang must have been unwilling to do so before.
Qin Liang didn't even need to guess Wang Guang's thoughts at that time. Just looking at his previous actions, he could tell that he had always wanted to inherit the position of General Wang Ling. Otherwise, Qin Liang had defeated Guan Qiu Jian and wanted to Arrange a position as governor, so you don't have to bargain hard.
However, Wang Guang finally weighed the pros, cons, risks, and made his attitude clear to the outside world. That was enough.
Wang Guang said in a deep voice: "We have discussed it before. With Linghu Gongzhi and your third and fourth uncles, everyone feels that Zhongming should be the one to come." Take over the position of general."

Qin Liang did not respond immediately. When Wang Linggang passed away, he was still flustered, but now that he has returned to Luoyang with great military glory, he is no longer panicked. If everyone abides by the rules and does not engage in some evil ways, then no one will If you have the nerve, you will ride on Qin Liang’s head now!
If it were in front of close confidants such as Wang Kang or relatives such as Qin Sheng, Qin Liang would not make polite remarks. At this time, Qin Liang said in front of Wang Guang: "I am still young and I am the junior of my uncles. I will Won’t it appear that you are not qualified?”
Wang Guang's face was sincere and a little eager, and he advised: "When Taizu was still alive, he was also a meritocracy. Zhongming was both civil and military, and had talents in warp and latitude. He also recovered the three counties of Hanzhong that Taizu had not held. , for such a great achievement, Zhong Ming should definitely do his part."
Qin Liang said: "My uncle has a good reputation, but as long as one of our own comes to assist the government, we can all rest assured."
Wang Guang nodded and said: "What Zhong Ming said is absolutely correct."
At this time, Wang Lingjun walked up the stone steps unhurriedly, and both Qin Liang and Qin Liang turned their heads and took a look.
After a while Wang Lingjun approached, she looked at Qin Liang with bright eyes, her solemn expression vaguely concealing her joy. However, she still bowed her head and said: "I greet you, father."
In front of Wang Guang, Qin Liang could only fold his hands and bend down to return the salute.
The father and daughter briefly asked questions, and Wang Guang said: "Your third uncle and fourth uncle are still accompanying the guests, and I have to go back to the hall."
Qin Liang said: "Uncle, go first, I will come later."
Wang Lingjun looked back at Wang Guang's back and smiled slightly at Qin Liang. Qin Liang immediately seemed to have seen spring flowers blooming, beautiful and warm. But her smile suddenly stopped and she looked a little ashamed. Her cheeks turned slightly red. She sighed slowly, her body relaxed a lot, and she said softly: "My husband has been out of Beijing for the longest time, and he finally came back well."
Qin Liang held her delicate hand and said: "You don't have to worry every time. The most dangerous thing on the battlefield is the soldiers charging into the battle. I never go to the front to fight."
Wang Lingjun didn't move his hand, just glanced at him and said in a low voice: "The position here is so high, I am still in mourning period."
Qin Liang then gently let go of her hand and said with emotion: "I met Ling Zhang Huan, the visitor of Great Changqiu, in Hanzhong. I heard that he also came to the General's Mansion and met with Ling Jun. Ling Jun persuaded
Zhang Huan also told me about my uncle. You are so handsome, smart and knowledgeable."
Wang Lingjun glared at him.
Qin Liang smiled, then came back to his senses and put away his smile.
Wang Lingjun said softly: "If I don't dissuade my father, my father will do the same in the end. He can distinguish between relatives and strangers and believes in my husband's character and talents."
Qin Liang couldn't help but look at Ling Jun's face. The sun was shining on her beautiful face. Her single-lidded eyes looked a little haggard, but they were bright and energetic. They were gentle and arrogant, and restrained and thoughtful. Although a woman from a noble family could not
He is involved in government affairs, but your Majesty obviously knows a lot of things.
Qin Liang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. However, when my grandfather just passed away, my uncle probably didn't have much time to think about other things. The family's advice is still useful."
Wang Lingjun said: "My aunt has also advised my father. My aunt has only met you a few times, but she also trusts her husband very much.???????????????"
Qin Liang looked away and said in a casual tone: "Yes."
He immediately added: "During the mourning period, the Wang family will not hold a banquet to entertain guests. I will say goodbye to the guests soon and return to General Wei's Mansion first. You will go back with me."
A married granddaughter does not need to stay at her parents' house to mourn. There is no problem for Wang Lingjun to return to her husband's house to continue mourning.
Wang Lingjun hesitated for a moment and said nicely: "After my grandfather passed away, it was inconvenient for the Wang family to stay in the General's Mansion for a long time. Now my husband has returned to Luoyang. In a few days, my grandfather's spiritual throne will be moved back to the Wang family mansion. By then,
If I come back again, it won’t be so conspicuous when I leave the Wang family’s mansion, do you agree?”
After Wang Ling's death, Qin Liang's grief was very limited, and he had to work hard to brew his emotions even when paying homage to the deceased. However, Wang Ling was Lingjun's biological grandfather, and there was more or less sincere family affection between ancestors and grandchildren.
So Qin Liang immediately said: "Why do you need my consent to keep your grandfather's spirit for a few more days? Then wait a few days and I will go to Yishouli to take you back to your home."
Wang Lingjun raised his eyes and glanced in the direction of the door of the pavilion, and whispered: "During the mourning period, Mrs. Bai forbids my aunt to go to General Wei's mansion, so I can't come back with my concubine."
Qin Liang took two steps and said: "You asked me to take care of myself. In addition to the maids beside her, I will ask Wu Xin to send two close followers to take care of my daily life. If I have anything, I can let them convey it to me."
.”
Wang Lingjun said: "This is the only way."
Qin Liang didn't have any good ideas for a while.
The situations of Xuanji and Lingjun are different. Xuanji is the daughter of Wang Ling. The main problem is that Xuanji is not married by name. Normally, it is just okay for her to be in her niece's house, but if she is not at home during the mourning period, it will not be good.
Looking for a reason.
There is nothing wrong with Mrs. Bai taking care of this matter. She must want to further confirm Xuanji's status as a royal family. Observing mourning and keeping filial piety is not only a moral obligation, but sometimes it also expresses status and power. When the deceased has children, outsiders are not qualified to keep filial piety.
. Just like the daughter-in-law who usually gets along very well with her parents-in-law, but cries louder than anyone else during the funeral, probably to declare to relatives and guests that she will become the headmistress of the family.
It is a pity that Qin Liang may not be able to get along with Xuan Ji for some time.
