In the past, the old man always sat in this pavilion, squinting at the setting sun.
Pu Bucheng was always the one closest to the old man. He was like a shadow, a silent companion.
This companionship lasted forty years.
He always said that he was a slave, but neither in the heart of the old man nor in the hearts of Zhu Yunxi, he never regarded him as a slave. He was also a part of this family.
"He..." Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, "What did he leave behind?"
Pu Wuyong cried, "My godfather said that he asked for grace from the emperor. He did not dare to ask for burial beside the emperor. He only asked for a place as big as a palm next to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. He said that even if he died, he wanted to be away from the emperor.
Come closer... Woohoo!"
The words "humanity and loyalty" are like a knife piercing the heart and gouging out the lungs, and the scrawling of "love and justice" is as thin as paper.
They are all obsessed with fame and fortune, and have forgotten to know each other and stay with each other year after year.
"That's right!" Zhu Yunxi looked at Pu Bucheng's huddled figure and said sadly, "With him accompanying the old man, I feel relieved!" After saying that, he looked at Zhu Gaochi, "Prepare a good birthday material for Pu Bucheng and find a good one.
place!"
After saying that, Zhu Yunxi looked at Pu Wuyong again, "Did he leave anything behind? Is there anything you want to take with you?"
"No!" Pu Wuyong wiped his tears, "The old man didn't save anything in his life, so he left a few sets of old clothes and books for his slaves." After saying that, Pu Wuyong raised his head and said, "The old man said, his seal
For money, use the copper coin hanging around his neck!"
When a person dies, a piece of money will be placed on his lips, which means he will no longer be poor in the next life!
"That money, the slave once said to his old man, was the money he used to sell himself." Pu Wuyong continued to cry, "He said that he only sold a few coins back then, and when he followed Ren Yazi, his mother took out a
A piece of money, hanging around his neck while crying..."
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi had tears in his eyes and a heavy heart.
Then, he lowered his head and waved his hands.
Li Jinglong quickly stepped forward and walked to Pu Bucheng's body, "Eunuch Pu, I will help you get up." As he said that, he stretched out his arms and picked Pu Bucheng up, placed him flat on the stone table in the yard, and took it back.
A roll of white cloth, unfolded and carefully covered.
Then, he stood in front of Pu Bucheng's body and bowed solemnly three times.
Deng Ping also walked over silently, stood behind Li Jinglong and saluted.
Pu Wuyong, on the other hand, performed the courtesy of a filial son and a virtuous grandson. He knelt beside Pu Bucheng and did not get up for a long time.
At this moment, the bastard came up behind Zhu Yunxi and whispered, "Your Majesty, all the ministers are here, waiting in the front yard!"
A group of people walked forward surrounded by Zhu Yunxi. When they passed the old man's mourning hall, there were already dense crowds of people kneeling outside the mourning hall.
Wuding Marquis Guo Ying was in front, Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen, Dongguan Bo He Rong and other more than ten surviving founding officials kowtowed silently.
They didn't cry or shout, but everyone wept silently as if they had lost their souls and couldn't help themselves. Some people even cried until they fainted and trembled all over.
Silent crying is more depressing than heart-wrenching shouting.
Suddenly, among the heroes, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, shouted at the top of his voice, "My lord, have a good journey!"
With a "wow" sound, the suppressed cries of the veteran military lords suddenly erupted like a mountain torrent.
"Howl you mother!" Guo Ying turned around and cursed with tears on his face, "Hold it back, don't cry in front of big brother!" He roared with red eyes, "We are here to see big brother off.
Not here to howl!"
"Woooooo!" The cry in front of the mourning hall became suppressed again.
"Lord!" Someone among the military commanders shouted, "We will still follow you in the next life!"
"You go first, we will follow you and cause havoc in the underworld!"
"Let's bring down the King of Hell and make you the throne!"
"My lord, live as a human emperor and die as a ghost emperor!"
Dong Dong, suddenly someone knocked on his chest.
First there was one person, and then everyone was beating their chests hard that were no longer strong.
The dull knocking sound began to echo outside the mourning hall.
"A man can't live in peace, kill the Tatars on August 15th. With a steel knife and a pistol on his shoulder, I swear that the sun and the moon will change the sky!"
"Holding a ninety-nine steel knife, kill all the beards and let it go. Why am I a man like a horse and a cow for the Tatars?"
"I would rather be killed by the sword than a slave. I will stain the mountains and rivers with my blood, and I will teach my descendants to sing many songs..."
The wild and heart-wrenching singing echoed in front of the mourning hall, and the white snakes rattled in the wind.
They are using their own way to send the old man on his way.
~
A simple imperial meeting was held in the front yard of the old man's mourning hall.
Civil and military officials were arranged on both sides. The military ministers such as Wei Guogong Xu Huizu, Zheng Guogong Chang Sheng and others all wore filial belts around their waists, while the civil servants were all dressed in plain clothes. There were also princes and princes who were all dressed in plain silk, which made the already small
The courtyard was overcrowded.
"Grandpa Huang is gone!" Zhu Yunxi looked around at the ministers and lamented, "I never thought that this old man would actually leave so fast!" As he spoke, he burst into tears again.
"My condolences, Your Majesty!" the ministers choked with sobs.
Zhu Yunxi sat blankly on the throne, weeping silently and covering his face with his hands.
Li Jinglong said, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is the most pure and filial monarch in history. However, at this moment, the family, country and the world are all pressing on your shoulders, Your Majesty. Hundreds of millions of subjects and thousands of miles away are counting on you!" As he spoke,
, said with tears, "The so-called sorrow is great and hurts the body. You have cried several times today. Emperor Daxing is not far away, and he is also looking at you. He has great expectations for you. You must not be overly sad or hurt.
My own body!"
"Okay, okay, I know!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and looked at the ministers, "Now, I have called you here to discuss the posthumous name and temple name of Grandpa Huang!" After saying that, he said,
Tearfully, "Now my heart is so confused, my head is empty, I can't think of anything!"
"I have discussed this beforehand!" Ren Hengtai, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, spoke first. "I believe that the commoner emperor of Daxing raised his troops and carried a three-foot sword to fight in the world to cleanse the universe and create the Ming Dynasty. We should imitate the stories of the founding emperors of the past dynasties. The name of the temple is
Gaozu!" He said, then paused, "Of course, this is just the humble opinion of my ministers, it is up to the Emperor to decide whether it can be used?"
"Gaozu?" Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, with a somewhat complicated look on his face.
Indeed, the temple names of the founding kings of all dynasties are all Gaozu, but...
Zhu Yunxi's only slight change in expression was caught by someone keenly.
Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, came out of the queue and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I think that the title of Gaozu is not enough to express the great achievements of the emperor!"
As he said that, under everyone's surprised gazes, Li Zhigang continued, "The founding kings of the Han and Tang Dynasties were all ancestors. However, how difficult it is for me to win the Ming Dynasty, is it not comparable to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
"I, the Emperor Daxing, conquered the founding kings of the past dynasties, how can I have the same temple name as him?" After saying this, Li Zhigang saluted Zhu Yunxi, "Emperor Daxing conquered the Yi and Di, recovered all Xia! Zhao Ji Nanfu, unified the country.
It is rare in ancient times for the Daxing Emperor to establish his own business in the south. His enemies are not the Chinese princes, but the most ferocious and barbaric enemies ever seen in ancient times."
"For fifteen years, I fought in the south and in the north. I held my sword in front and did not dodge arrows, and I was victorious in every battle. Everyone, since the Five Dynasties, our Han family has had no great prestige in the world and even half of the country has been lost. The former Song Dynasty was weak and called Hu his brother.
, a shame that has never happened in ten thousand years!"
"Emperor Daxing regained Yanyun, drove away the captives and put them outside the desert. The world was restored and he came back to the throne. The sun and the moon were washed away and became bright again. The seas and mountains were laid to rest as before, and the Han people regained their clothes!"
"How can such great achievements be compared with those of previous dynasties? I, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, am the only emperor in history!"
Zhu Yunxi patted the armrest of the throne and said, "Well said!"
After saying that, he looked at the ministers and said, "In my opinion, it is the same! The number one Gaozu is not bad, but it does not represent the great emperor's contribution to rebuilding the world. It cannot represent the difficulty of starting a business, nor can it represent his continuous self-improvement."
Chi!"
As he spoke, he stood up, frowned and said, "I think that the name of the temple of the Supreme Emperor is different from that of the previous generations, and even better than that of the previous generations!" As he said, he loudly said, "The name of the temple of the Supreme Emperor is Taizu!"
