At this time, the Xianling Mausoleum was covered with white flags, and Mr. and Mrs. Wu from the Xiaohuang Gate stood in silence along with the eunuch procession.
Today is the funeral of Mrs. Xianyuan. All the officials from Kyoto and the princes in Kyoto came to attend in mourning clothes.
Just because this Lady Xianyuan is not an ordinary person. She is the beauty of Emperor Shun, the biological mother of Emperor Chong, and the longest surviving member of the Han family, with a life span of sixty.
At this moment, the mourner in front was presiding over the Tailao ceremony.
The gift of Tailao was originally a gift from the emperor, but because everyone in Xianyuan was the mother of the emperor and had high virtue and prestige, the country gave them the gift of Tailao.
The reason why the country treats everyone so kindly is also a little selfish, that is, it also wants its biological mother, Dong, to enter the Ancestral Temple as the biological mother of the emperor a hundred years later.
On the one hand, this is his pure filial piety, on the other hand, he wants to tell the world that he, Liu Hong, is not someone's adopted son, but the true emperor.
At that time, the visitor muttered something:
"The emperor's body is ordered to work and I wish you blessings without borders. Come and be a filial grandson to you, so that you can receive blessings from heaven, be able to farm in the fields, and live for thousands of years. Don't take it for granted."
After reading it, all the ministers and ministers bowed their heads and paused.
Then, a white cloth cart slowly drove in along the Xian Road, pulling the coffin.
To the east of the xiandao are Dahonglu and Jiubin, and to the west of the road are the princes and kings. As for the other two thousand stones, the princes should all be in front of your majesty, standing in the north.
As Tai Zhu presented the wine, Situ knelt down and asked for the coffin, and the Dongyuan samurai and deacon laid down their weapons, the whole audience began to mourn one after another.
Among them, the ones who cried the loudest were the eunuchs in the middle palace. They were all more or less favored by this great master.
There are no less open and secret attacks in the palace than outside the palace. Without the protection of this person, it is difficult for them to be where they are today.
Mr. and Mrs. Wu looked at the leader of the team, Zhongchangqiu Caojie, and couldn't help but think about what happened during this period.
Ever since that day Yang Qiu killed Wang Fu and hung his body at the east gate, an undercurrent began to surge in Kyoto.
Even though the eunuchs were frightened by the power of Yang Qiu, they all took refuge in the palace.
But Mr. Wu knows that this is the dormant state of tigers and wolves before they bite people.
Wu and his wife were from Ganling, Jizhou, and were considered a small Hebei sect in the palace. Logically speaking, he should be on good terms with Yang Qiu and other foreign Hebei sects.
However, Mr. Wu has a family background, is good at playing tricks, and knows how to be wise and wise in this world, so he has never interacted with the Hebei faction of the foreign court. However, he still cannot help but feel sad when he thinks that he will have to accept the thunderous revenge of the eunuchs below.
Yang Qiu, Yang Qiu, are you really ready?
While Mr. and Mrs. Wu were looking at Cao Jie, who was at the head of the team, Cao Jie was also chatting quietly with the regular servants in the front row.
"You've all met Lao Wang, right?"
"What's there to see? Don't be afraid of nightmares at night." The person who spoke was Zhang Rang, the regular waiter.
Zhang Rang is from Yingchuan and Cao Jie is from Nanyang. The two counties are in the same place, so they are both called township parties. Another white and fat eunuch named Zhao Zhong is from Hebei, and he is also from another faction of the Zhongguan faction, Hebei.
Of Kui.
Zhao Zhong glanced at Zhang Rang with contempt and sneered:
"Is Lao Zhang always like this? If you don't see him, you can just pretend it didn't happen. Now that Lao Wang has been killed, who among us is not worried about his aftermath? I see, we have to pull out the thorn in Yang Qiu as soon as possible.
You donkey ball, I thought this penis ball was our sword, but I didn’t expect that I cut myself instead. What’s the use of keeping something like this that is a nuisance to my master.”
Although Cao Jie had no dealings with Zhao Zhong, after listening to this man's words, he secretly thought:
"It is true that those who dared to attack Liangji in those days were decisive. Unlike our country party, who are as timid as chickens."
At this moment, the warriors of Dongyuan and the deacons have dug up the earth to build the underground palace, and will soon bury the noble Yu in it.
But instead of being buried with Emperor Shun, Empress Liang had already been buried with Emperor Shun.
Therefore, even if an emperor is born but has no title, he can still only be buried outside the palace.
At this time, the Dongyuan warriors had put the seals, musical instruments, utensils, jade and silver strings, clothing and grains used by Yu Gui during his lifetime into the underground palace, and then began to seal the earth.
The seal on Emperor Shun's Xianling Mausoleum is a prototype mound with a circumference of more than 300 meters, and trees have been planted on it to form a lush green garden.
Seeing Mr. Yu being buried, Cao Jie sighed:
"When our family first entered the palace, they were also bullied. If it wasn't for everyone's protection, I don't know who would have killed them with a stick. Today, I see that everyone can only bury them in a sparse burial, which makes me feel sad."
Zhang Rang was curious:
"What are you lamenting about?"
"It's a shame to say that it's true. We all have no reputations, but our lives are miserable. And today, we also have no names for the Yang Qiu Party. I'm afraid we will be like Lao Wang, and die without a burial place."
Everyone was speechless after saying this.
After a long time, Zhao Zhong said something leisurely:
"A few days ago, I took a rest with the country. The country said something to me, please help the counselor."
"What's the matter?"
"On that day, the country was enjoying spring in the Western Garden, and the nature was quite high, but suddenly he sat on the bed and asked me:
'Mom, do you think there are many people in the government and the public who can trust me?'
Before I could say anything, the country took care of itself and said:
'No, needless to say trust, how many of them take me seriously?'
When I heard this, I was not surprised, so I immediately knelt down and cried:
'The foreign dynasty has always looked down upon the country, thinking that they were upholding the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and would often lecture the country. Every time the servants saw this, they were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to kill one or two young men to relieve the country's troubles.'
After listening to my words, the country sighed:
'Yes, even my own family regards what I say as child's play, so it's no wonder that outsiders also treat me as a child.'
Then the state told me about Lao Duan. It turned out that the state had no intention of killing Lao Duan. It was Yang Qiu who took it upon himself to arrest Lao Duan, and then Lao Duan committed suicide in prison.
Do you know where the country’s anger lies?”
Zhang Rang helped:
"Is the Qi Yang Ball acting arbitrarily?"
"Oh, that's what the country said to me at that time. Only then did we realize that the country is a man of nature and has its own gaps.
country says:
'Then Yang Qiu told me that Lao Duan committed suicide in prison. You said Yang Qiu was really capable? He also knew that I was worried about Lao Duan's prestige in the army, so he arranged for Lao Duan to commit suicide in fear.
Already.
But Yang Qiu absolutely should not blame this matter on me. If he kills someone, all the foreign dynasties will think of me.
The day before yesterday, Lao Duan's clan brother, named Duan Xuan, submitted a plea form, saying that he would use his military exploits to redeem his clan brothers, wives and children, and asked me to grant him mercy for the sake of his clan brother's military confrontation.
Wife and children return home.
Mom, what do you mean this Yang Qiu did?’ After saying that, the state even filed a lawsuit.”
Chang Shi among the crowd was speechless, "You're still taking the case."
"Isn't that right? That's why I asked you to help the counselor. Doesn't this make sense?"
Seeing that everyone was still confused, Cao Jie stamped his feet and said bitterly:
"You are so crazy, what else can we say? The country wants us to go to court to impeach Yang Qiu. This Yang Qiu is over. Didn't our family just talk about a bad name? It's really good luck, now isn't this the case?
coming."
After saying that, he made arrangements without waiting for anyone’s reaction:
"After the ceremony is over, none of us will go back to the palace. We will go straight back to the palace. Then our family, Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhao will impeach each other. Everyone can just cry. This time, this Crouching Tiger
Yang Qiu is going to become a dead tiger."
After saying that, I couldn't help laughing, which was particularly unrestrained in this solemn funeral.
On the two thousand stone column on the right side of Xiandao, there are two old men, and they have been observing the regular attendants among them. These two old men are the two famous Runan Yuans, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei.
One of them was Sikong and the other was Situ before, but later they were both saved due to disasters. Now they can only be ranked behind the princes in front of them.
Er Yuan looked at the new Situ Liu He who was standing solemnly in front of him, and then looked at Yuan She, a member of the Taozuo eunuch queue, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Among the two thousand stones, Jingzhao Yin Yang Biao also looked nervously at Zhong Changshi, Liu He, Yang Qiu and others.
He was sweating in his hands, his plan had changed due to Yang Qiu's reckless behavior. Will this affect his father?
Yang Biao was unsure. For the first time, he felt that the world was unpredictable and his wisdom was sometimes limited.
At the same time, the three ministers and nine ministers in the center of the crowd were also whispering.
The young man Chen Qiu was reprimanding Yang Qiu.
Chen Qiu comes from the Chen family in Xiapi. The Chen family is a Mingfa family with a family worth two thousand stones.
How did he, a native of Xuzhou, form a party with Liu He and others from Hebei?
It turns out that the first post he took after becoming a prince in Xiaolian was to serve as the county magistrate in Fanyang, Wei County. Later, he served as the prefect of Wei County and built the mausoleum for Emperor Huan. In the process, he became close to the Hebei family.
For example, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Hua Xin, and Shen Pei of Hebei were all his disciples, and Shen Pei is still an official in the Yangqiu shogunate.
At this moment, Chen Qiu scolded Yang Qiu:
"Shu Zi, you have almost failed in this important matter. We want to hunt down Cao Jie, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong first. Who asked you to catch Wang Fu? What's the point of killing such a bereaved dog?"
Yang Qiu was so scolded by the old man that he just mumbled back:
"What I don't want is that the kid you appointed as the master gave me Wang Fu's accusations at night, and told me to do it impartially."
"You said Yang Biao gave it to you?" Chen Qiu was surprised when he heard this.
Yang Biao's father, Yang Ci, was his leader at that time.
At that time, Yang Ci was a Taiwei, and he was sent to the palace under Fanyang Order, and then he was recommended to be sent out as the governor of Erqianshi County. I don't know how much work was saved, so Yang Ci could be said to be as kind as a mountain to him.
But when he heard that it was the old master's son who had done such a thing, he was heartbroken and said sadly:
"These sons of the public clan have high vision but low hand. The destruction of the Han family is all due to this generation."
Chen Qiu still didn't let Yang Qiu go, he said again:
"Then you can just kill Wang Fu, why do you want to kill Duan Taiwei? Don't you know that this will cause complications?
Previously, we could use the infantry captain Liu Na's battalion to strangle the eunuchs outside, but now these soldiers can no longer be used."
Yang Qiu retorted, but he insisted on arguing:
"With thousands of disciples in my government, great things can be done."
Hearing that Yang Qiu wanted to say this, Chen Qiu was so angry that he rolled his sleeves:
"Young man, you've only been serving as Sili Xiaowei for a few days. How many of these disciples can you serve?"
After saying that, Chen Qiu turned his head and didn't look at this person.
Situ Liu He, who had been squinting his eyes, only opened his eyes now. He glanced at Cao Jie on the left side of the road from a distance.
Cao Jie also looked at him with a smile. The two met in the air and left as soon as they touched each other.
When Liu He saw Cao Jie smiling like this, he couldn't help but feel panicked. He calmed down and advised Erqiu:
"Bo Zhen, Fang Zheng, now that the matter has come to this, we should look forward. What we should pay attention to now is how to deal with the counterattack from Cao Jie and others. I think something is wrong with this matter. Fang Zheng, is there something you haven't told us?
"
After saying that, Liu He looked straight at Yang Qiu.
Yang Qiu panicked in his heart, and somehow he remembered the instructions given by the country when he left that day, but with a calm face, he bowed and said to the teacher:
"Teacher, please rest assured that everything is fine."
Hearing this, Liu Hecai smiled and said:
"I believe you."
At this time, the chime bells rang loudly, and in the melodious sound of "the ceremony is completed" by the visitors,
A funeral with everyone's own thoughts coming to an end.
