The autumn wind and rain are depressing.

Yunzhang was in his mansion, refining some elixirs.

By turning on a few furnaces, you can practice a lot in a day, and the smell of medicine will be all around.

Yunqi and Qiu'e both helped.

Yunqi studied medicine and pharmacy hard and learned a lot.

Qiu'e studied even more seriously, believing that it is always good to have many skills, so she learned everything she could.

Qiu Ying, Qiu Chan and others practiced martial arts in the east wing. They had to be strong enough to protect themselves and kill the bandits.

There were still thieves coming these days, but they were all killed by the Tiger Guards and the Dugu Hero. Few of them managed to escape. The weeds in the fields were probably all hoeed clean.

Yun Cheng came back and looked at his third sister. He touched her head lovingly, her hair was all messy, so he rubbed it twice.

Yun Zhang said, "Be careful or your wife and I will complain."

Yun Cheng said: "Brother is pampering you."

Yun Zhang said, "Sister, remember this: men think differently from women." He added, "Only I think the same as you do."

Yunqi didn't say anything else, just asked: "Do you want to comb your hair, wash your face and eat?" Yuanbao has a bad habit. When she is busy, she won't eat or sleep. And she likes to use doing things to regulate her mood.

Yun Zhang stopped.

Yun Cheng said to her, "The emperor has issued an order that Xue's entire clan will be implicated."

Yun Zhang was stunned for a moment.

Yun Cheng explained coldly, "Because all nine of their clans got involved, and some of them are running around. The emperor issued an edict that the nine clans of Xue Ze would be punished without pardon. Part of the Zhou family was also exterminated. The Xue family actually found some secret technique to use human sacrifice to curse the royal family."

Qiu E asked, "How many people were killed?"

Yun Cheng said: "It's not clear yet. But many people have sued. The Xue family and Zhou family covered it up before. They did a lot of things."

Yun Zhang said: "If it is a sorcery, it can do something."

Yun Qi asked, "Can it be broken?"

Yun Zhang replied, "Yes. Those who are difficult will not know, and those who are able will not know."

Yun Cheng nodded. The third sister meant that the Yun family was not afraid, even if they had a magic weapon to give to the emperor. Yun Cheng continued, "Zhu Yu was posthumously awarded the title of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the title of Earl of Pengcheng. Zhu Yu's eldest son Zhu Xianzhi inherited the title of Earl of Pengcheng, and his second son Zhu Yongzhi was awarded the title of Chengfenglang."

Yun Zhang nodded. It can be said that he had given enough. It can also be said that fortunately, he still had two sons.

Yun Zhang changed his clothes.

Yun Cheng went to see his grandfather first. There were still some things to discuss.

Yun Zhang cleaned up everything and arrived at the restaurant. The wind and rain had stopped and lights were on inside and outside the restaurant.

Prince Wei came to eat again. There were still many people harassing him in the palace, more than mosquitoes.

Yun Songnian was a little curious: "The Zhou family wants to curse the emperor?"

King Wei said: "It seems that the Xue family started this. They found a crooked way, and then the Zhou family used it."

Yun Feng said, "Shouldn't you keep a low profile when doing something like this? The Xue family is doing the opposite?"

Yun Zhang said, "Maybe Xue Ze feels that it is really his turn. You know what it means to be a villain? Now that he has support, the curse will take effect again."

This shows that Xue Ze is just this kind of person. When the truth comes out, he will do something desperate.

Yun Shu said: "The emperor should know something and then think about dealing with it. I didn't expect the Xue family to make such a big deal." He didn't want to make a big fuss.

Everyone finished their meal. Anyway, the fact that the Xue family was conspiring for treason and their entire clan was executed must be recorded in history. Zhu Yu, who died in this incident, will also be recorded in history.

Yun Cheng prepared to write poetry, for the dead and for the living.

The old lady said, "Mrs. Cheng wants to bury her son in Wei County, mourn and chant sutras in Yunyin Temple."

Yun Zhang and King Wei discussed, "Should we build a cemetery in Wei County?"

King Wei asked, "What kind?"

Yun Zhang said: "For those who sacrificed their lives for the country and the people, or every soldier of the Tiger Guard, we will build a cemetery for them and offer sacrifices to them every year. Some people may have a grand funeral and a tablet can be set up. To be buried in this cemetery, you also need certain qualifications. Civil officials can do it, and some ordinary people can do it. It can be said that there is no distinction between high and low, only the soul is concerned. Everyone is the same, as long as they do the same things, they can enjoy the worship of everyone in the cemetery."

King Wei understood. He needed to think about it again.

The old man understood Yuanbao's meaning. This is probably very meaningful in persuading people to do good. It is also a true respect.

Some people pursue a posthumous title until they die. I don’t pursue fame, but if I can be buried in this cemetery after I die, that’s enough.

Yun Zhang suggested: "Cremation is good, burial is also OK. But there is no need for burial objects. The best wealth left to future generations is spiritual, and being able to live spiritually is also the best. Although like ordinary people, each simple grave looks very simple; but connected together, it is different, just like countless ordinary people. Just like a great cause."

Yun Zhang was talking nonsense again: "Don't complain that the grave is not big enough, future generations will judge. It is entirely possible to build a larger place for sacrifices. Most people don't have that much space. But if there are more people in the future, no matter how big the place is, it won't be enough. Women can also be buried there, either together or in a separate area. More importantly, it is to leave a name and biography for everyone."

King Wei could understand what that meant.

Yun Zhang said, "For example, let's call it 'Hero Book'. Let's roughly decide. Ordinary people can leave one page, while those who have made great contributions can write ten pages. You can also leave one page in the hero book and write a biography for future generations to read."

King Wei nodded and said, "That's fine. Let's do this first. As for the Zhu family's affairs, we need to talk to them."

As for writing biographies for common people, King Wei did not think too much about it. If he really did something, he would write it.

Prince Wei returned to the palace to look for the royal tutor and the prime minister and left the matter to them.

The old man felt that the Zhu family should thank Yuanbao again, because Zhu Yu’s death was at least worth it.

Yun Zhang said: "Although there are great contributors who can enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple, be buried with the deceased, and be given a title of nobility, if their descendants are unfilial, it will bring shame to the ancestors. And many others who have not made such great contributions cannot even let go of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and most of the things are done by these people, so there is no need to fight for the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

The old lady also understood and said, "This brings peace to both the dead and the living. People will offer sacrifices to it from generation to generation."

Yun Zhang said: "Although they did the big things, after years of accumulation, we also did the things. Live for yourself."

All imperial power is empty.

It’s not that I’m against imperial power, but no matter what kind of power it is, the people just want to live a good life.

I don't know if this is a good thing to do, and Yun Zhang doesn't want to do it. But if King Wei wants to continue, it seems that this is it?

Many things are caused by people. This does not harm anyone's interests, but some old Confucian scholars may be unhappy.

It doesn’t matter. Yun Zhang has done what he can and said whatever he wanted to say.

The old lady took Yuanbao and went to have a good sleep. The world's affairs are taken care of by the world's people. Besides, the Zhu family's mourning and honor are enough.

Yun Zhang said: "In the future, if the living fight for a household registration in Wei State, or the dead fight for a piece of land, I will be willing to let him be cremated."
