Chapter 63: The Last Journey 3

But this time, the government and the opposition of the Great Liang Kingdom know that they have always been known for their "tolerance and generosity, harmony is precious, kindness, indifference and elegance", and has never thrown anyone's face, and the eldest princess Liang Shenglan, who has always respected Gu Linyu as the master of the Middle Palace, actually shook Gu Linyu's face for the first time, and directly and neatly replied to the other party "Don't go"......

Facing Gu Linyu's people's instantly darkened faces, Liang Shenglan, who had always been kind and pleasant, hooked her lips and smiled coldly, and then Liang Shenglan ordered the guards who carried her sedan chair out of the palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

If Liang Shenglan really left the palace like this, it would be fine, and it would not make everyone think about it. Can it be ...... When Liang Shenglan rode away in a soft sedan chair, she also coldly left a sentence "The time has not come......

Liang Shenglan's sentence "The time has not yet come" can be said to have set off a storm in Liang Xiaocheng in an instant-

The time has not yet arrived, when has not come, the previous sentence of the time has not arrived...... It seems to be ......

When everyone thought of this, Gu Shi shivered violently, and immediately stopped, not daring to think about it anymore......

And since Liang Shenglan left the palace, there has been no movement in the Yishu Palace. It was quiet until December 27......

The five days seemed to pass in a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying came to the funeral......

"Come on, help me up and change my clothes!" Before dawn this morning, Liang Ruming shouted in the inner hall of Yishu Palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting outside the Yishu Hall heard Liang Ruming's shout, and immediately rushed into the hall, and after lighting the candles in the hall, they began to help Liang Ruming up from the dragon bed and serve Liang Ruming to change clothes and wash up......

Because Leng Qing went out of the palace to Zhufu two days ago, and before leaving the palace, he told Liang Ruming to return to the palace on the morning of December 27, so on December 27, Zhang Xuanfu went to the palace gate early in the morning to wait for Leng Qing to enter the palace.

Yes, by the time Zhang Xuanfu, who went to pick up Leng Qing, returned to Yishu Hall with Leng Qing, Liang Ruming had already changed into the "Twelve Chapters" court dress under the service of a group of palace maids and eunuchs - a total of thirty-eight dragons of different forms were embroidered on the court clothes, and each dragon was lifelike with teeth and claws. In different parts of the court dress are also embroidered with the "twelve chapters" pattern, that is, the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountain, the dragon, etc., the emblems used have meanings, the sun, the moon, the stars, take its illumination, the mountain, take its stability, the dragon, take its strain.

Therefore, when Leng Qing saw Liang Ruming, what she saw was an emperor standing in the brightly lit temple, wearing twelve crowns hanging from front to back, wearing a "twelve chapters" crown dress with a black coat, and a five-clawed dragon boot embroidered on the black skin......

Xu is because Liang Ruming has not been to the court for many days, and this costume representing the peak of power in the Great Liang State has been idle for a long time, and there are many wrinkles on the crown dress.

Therefore, when Leng Qing and Zhang Xuanfu stepped into the inner hall of Yishu Hall one after another, Liang Ruming, who had already changed into a crown and crown clothes, was quietly standing in front of the one-person-high bronze mirror in the hall, allowing several palace maids to sort out the folds on the crown clothes for him.

And the moment he stepped into the door of the inner hall of Yishu Palace, and saw Liang Ruming change his crown and crown clothes, Leng Qing already understood Liang Ruming's thoughts. So Leng Qing didn't say anything, just stood silently and indifferently and quietly looked down at the ground.

Compared with Leng Qing's calmness or indifference, Zhang Xuanfu was immediately anxious-

I saw Zhang Xuanfu walking quickly in the direction of Liang Ruming, who was standing in front of the human-high bronze mirror in the hall, and said in an eager tone: "Your Majesty, why did you get up? Didn't the imperial doctors say that the emperor wants to lie down and recuperate?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xuanfu happened to walk to Liang Ruming's side. In the next moment, Zhang Xuanfu stretched out his hand to support Liang Ruming.

However, Zhang Xuanfu's outstretched hands were waved away by Liang Ruming lightly, and in response to Zhang Xuanfu's worries, it was Liang Ruming's old and indifferent voice: "Today...... It was the day of the funeral of Zhongqing and the crown princess...... I...... failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a father and failed to protect his children...... At least...... I will see them in the earth with my own eyes. ”

Hearing Liang Ruming's words, Zhang Xuanfu, who was standing beside Liang Ruming, was stunned and opened his mouth suddenly, but apart from calling out "Emperor's ......" in a stunned tone, Zhang Xuanfu had nothing else to say......

Liang Ruming said so, what else can Zhang Xuanfu say?

Is it wrong for an old father who wants to send his son on the last journey of his life?

Even if Liang Ruming is the emperor of the Great Liang Kingdom, but today, Liang Ruming ...... is just an old father who wants to send his eldest son to the last journey of his life......

When the palace maid beside him sorted out the folds on the crown dress, Liang Ruming turned his eyes to look at Leng Qing, who was always standing quietly by the palace gate, and said calmly: "Leng girl, help me go to the prince's mansion." I, I want to personally send Zhong Qing on this last journey. ”

Hearing Liang Ruming's words, Leng Qing did not hesitate, and immediately responded respectfully: "Okay...... Help you go. ”

After speaking, Leng Qing walked to Liang Ruming's side, stretched out his hands to support Liang Ruming's arm, and slowly supported Liang Ruming to walk towards the outer hall of Yishu Palace.

I don't know if it's because I've been lying down for too long and my limbs are uncoordinated, or because today is the day when Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying are buried...... In short, when Leng Qing helped Liang Ruming to the door of the inner hall leading to the outer hall of the Yishu Palace, Liang Ruming was stumbling by the low threshold......

If it weren't for Leng Qing supporting him, I was afraid that Liang Ruming would have stumbled and would have fallen directly to the ground......

Zhang Xuanfu, who was following behind Liang Ruming and Leng Qing, saw this, and for a moment, Zhang Xuanfu suddenly felt very sad, and his eyes were a little sour and swollen......

Speaking of which, Zhang Xuanfu's family background was good when he was a child, at least the family's three meals a day, food, clothing, housing and transportation were not a problem.

Zhang Xuanfu's mother is also quite beautiful, and she was also a famous beauty when she was young. When Zhang Xuanfu's mother was still a girl at home, there were more than ten young talents who pursued her, and finally Zhang Xuanfu's mother chose Zhang Xuanfu's father among many suitors......

Zhang Xuanfu's father was the son of the shopkeeper of a small restaurant, the only son in the family, without any brothers and sisters. After marrying Zhang Xuanfu's mother, Zhang Xuanfu's father did love his wife, and the two gave birth to Zhang Xuanfu in the second year of their marriage.

In the third year, Zhang Xuanfu's father inherited the family restaurant and took care of the restaurant industry with his wife. Although the store is small, the income is enough to support the family, and there is a surplus in addition to the family's expenses.

On such a day, it can be regarded as enviable.

And Zhang Xuanfu's mother also thought that the family could live a life so stable and happy, but Zhang Xuanfu's father later became addicted to drugs and became a gambler who was addicted to gambling and would lose every time he gambled, and the more he lost, the more he gambled, so he ...... The originally good family was lost by his gambler father......

Zhang Xuanfu's father not only lost the family's money, but also lost the only restaurant in the family, and even later, Zhang Xuanfu's father gambled to take Zhang Xuanfu's mother to pay off the debt......

After learning that Zhang Xuanfu's father had sold her to a local flower house to pay off her debts, Zhang Xuanfu's mother hanged herself that day without waiting for her arresters to come to the door...... When he died, he also left a bloody letter, and none of the extra words on it were written, only the four bloody characters of "regret not being at the beginning".

Zhang Xuanfu's mother has always been weak as water, both inside and out, and when the surrounding villagers see Zhang Xuanfu's father, they will praise Zhang Xuanfu's father for marrying a gentle and good daughter-in-law. But in fact, Zhang Xuanfu's mother is fierce, but she has never been forced to that step before......

After Zhang Xuanfu's mother died, Zhang Xuanfu's father did not repent and still gambled every day.

Everything that could be sold in the family was sold by Zhang Xuanfu's father one after another for gambling money, until the family finally sold nothing to sell, Zhang Xuanfu's father hit the idea on the only and only remaining son - Zhang Xuanfu.

When Zhang Xuanfu was sold by his gambler father, he was just over seven years old and less than eight years old.

Zhang Xuanfu's father first sold Zhang Xuanfu to a large family in a nearby town as a subordinate, and in order to get more money, he signed a death deed. But the big family had bad luck, somehow offended the powerful, and was raided, and all the subordinates in the family who signed the death contract were all put into official slaves, Zhang Xuanfu was one of them.

Later, under the tossing and turning, Zhang Xuanfu entered the palace and purified, and that year, Zhang Xuanfu was not yet ten years old.

However, after Zhang Xuanfu entered the palace, because of the characteristics of "young and easy to raise", he was assigned to the East Palace that year and was trained as the personal attendant of Liang Ruming, who was still the prince at that time.

And then ...... Zhang Xuanfu has come to his current status step by step and has become the most powerful eunuch by Liang Ruming's side.

After careful calculation, Zhang Xuanfu has been by Liang Ruming's side for more than 40 years.

For more than 40 years, Zhang Xuanfu has grown up with Liang Ruming.

It can be said that Zhang Xuanfu watched Liang Ruming go from the little prince of the year to the high position of the lord of the country step by step. Zhang Xuanfu watched Liang Ruming and Gu Lin Shu's wedding, watched Liang Shenglan and Liang Shengde be born one after another, watched Liang Shenglan and Liang Shengde grow up, and finally watched Liang Ruming sad because of Gu Lin Shu's death......

Now, Zhang Xuanfu looked at Liang Ru again and understood that the haired people were sending black-haired people......

In this huge family called "Liang surnamed royal family", Zhang Xuanfu has been standing aside, witnessing the love, union, birth of the crystallization of their love and the final farewell of Liang Ruming and Gu Linshu...... Zhang Xuanfu even had to witness Liang Shengde's death......

If Liang Ruming's sadness is because his most beloved eldest son will be separated from him from heaven and man from now on, then Zhang Xuanfu's sadness is because of his powerlessness after witnessing everything......

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless......

Although Zhang Xuanfu has one less thing than a normal man, Zhang Xuanfu is also a person after all!! The blood in Zhang Xuanfu's body is red, and his heart is also hot!! Seeing that the child who grew up watching him go like this, watching Liang Ru understand that he sent people to black-haired people...... How can Zhang Xuanfu not be sad and sad? ?

Especially...... Even if Zhang Xuanfu knew about those unbearable pasts, Zhang Xuanfu couldn't change anything, this kind of powerless pain can only be experienced by those who are in it......

Then again-

When the ancient emperors traveled, they set up more ceremonial guards, hugged the front and back clusters, and the cars and passengers were linked, and the flags were displayed, so as to fully show the supreme status of the emperor. The Lushu is an important part of the imperial system in China's feudal society, and it is dedicated to and directly serves the major activities of the emperor. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been called the halo book: "The son of heaven is out, and the car is the first, which is called the halogen book." ”

After more than 2,000 years of development, the system has become more and more complete, and on the basis of driving and guarding, it has also added honor guards (that is, honor guard guards, holding gourds, treasure tops, and flags) and music and dance (music performances and dance performances).

When the emperor travels, he needs to be escorted and accompanied by officials in case of accidents. According to the rank of the emperor's travel, the number, size, and various equipment of the entourage of guards and officials were determined, and compiled into a book, that is, a halo book, as an important part of the etiquette system.

Every time the emperor traveled, he had to dispatch and arrange his retinue of guards and officials in accordance with the regulations of the Lu Book.

The travel of ancient emperors was divided into three categories: big driving, legal driving, and small driving according to the size of the scale. The Han Dynasty stipulated——

The chauffeur is guided by the minister (the prime minister and other officials) (in the front), the general (escorted by the car), and the servant (in charge of the palace chariots and horses) drives; there are 81 chariots, and there are 1,000 chariots, and more than 10,000 cavalry guards.

The law is driven by the governor of the capital, and the servant (the emperor's close attendant) participates in the ride, and the chariot is driven by the chariot Lang, and belongs to the car 36 times.

The small chauffeur is the smallest, served by only one deacon Shangshu, and the number of chariots is even smaller. But no matter what kind of trip it is, the honor guards who escort the emperor are quite impressive.

The big driving halogen book is used for suburban worship and worshipping the sky, the law driving halogen book is used for the court meeting and the temple to worship ancestors, and the small driving halogen book is used for ordinary access.

Since Liang Ruming is preparing to leave the palace today, the travel book is naturally prepared early.

However, because Liang Ruming was hesitant and not suitable to go far, the halogen book stopped outside the gate of the Yishu Palace. Leng Qing helped Liang Ruming out of the gate of the Yishu Palace, and went down the white jade steps in front of the Yishu Palace, and Liang Ruming could directly climb the halo book.

This time, Liang Ruming went to the prince's mansion to send Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying to the funeral, because Liang Shengde is the prince of Liang, and his status is second only to Liang Ruming, and Liang Ruming also used the law to drive the book in order to highlight the importance of Liang Shengde in his heart.

Therefore, the person who was quoted in front of the Lu book was Jingzhao Yin Yue Qu Ji who was wearing a court dress from the fourth grade.

Liang Ruming wanted to go to the prince's mansion to send Liang Shengde and Cheng Yiying out of the funeral, so Yue Quji received an order from Liang Ruming yesterday to enter the palace early this morning and serve as a guide in front of the Lu Book. So, as soon as the hour arrived today, Yue Quji went out and entered the palace.

The attendant is Xie Yuwen, the attendant next to Liang Ruming, a mighty man who has just passed the age of standing and looks like five big and three thick.

Leng Zhaoyi also boarded the halogen book and went to the prince's mansion with me. Before Liang Ruming boarded the halo book, he didn't let Leng Qing settle down with such an order.

Leng Qing naturally wouldn't be hypocritical with Liang Ruming, and immediately went to the Lu book from the goodness.

After Liang Ruming and Leng Qing both boarded the halo book, a group of 36 by more than 200 people marched in the direction of Qinglongmen......
