Concubine Xiao's coffin has decided to be buried today, and the best way for the deceased is to let them be buried as soon as possible.

The time to escort the coffin of Concubine Xiao to the burial is the hour, the hour has arrived, the Empress Dowager Xiao, the emperor, the Fu King, the Empress Xiao, the crown prince, Murong Ziyan, and the King of Qi and other vassal kings and their princesses, the other concubines of the former emperor, plus the Prime Minister Xiao Suen and other Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers and the ladies with grades are all gathered in the Yilan Palace, they are all dressed in plain clothes, slightly powdered, and their expressions are very solemn.

Today's weather is hazy and ruthless, as if the public mourned his mother that day, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are white.

"Empress Dowager, the time has come, it's time to go." The great eunuch Defu hurriedly came to the Empress Dowager Xiao and reminded cautiously, the Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the people around her, then looked around, and said slowly; "The mourners know, Emperor; Let's go. After speaking, Empress Dowager Xiao hung her head.

The emperor immediately said that he would set off, so Xiao Suen, Xiao Suyuan, and the general Ximen Donghai, and the four important ministers of the Imperial History Doctor Zhou Chang personally carried the coffin of Concubine Xiao and walked slowly in front, while Emperor Tiande, as the nominal son of Concubine Xiao, followed behind and escorted, and the Empress Dowager Xiao and others followed behind the emperor and walked slowly outside the Grass Palace.

Outside the palace, Concubine Xiao's coffin was placed in a solemn carriage, and the emperor, as the nominal son of Concubine Xiao, also sat in the carriage with the coffin, accompanied by four ministers. Great literature

The car escorting the coffin was at the front, Empress Dowager Xiao, Empress Xiao, and Ziyan were sitting in a car, and when they were about to get into the car, King Fu pulled Murong Ziyan to a secluded place.

"Brother Wang; What's the matter? Zi Yan's big watery eyes looked at King Fu with a solemn face.

Fu Wang Dao; "You must comfort the queen mother along the way, her body can't stand the bumps along the way, it would be better if the old you were weeping, you must comfort the queen mother with the imperial sister-in-law, and I will hand over the queen mother to you."

Facing King Fu's stern expression, Zi Yan suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders was so heavy, "Brother Wang, don't worry, I know what to do, let's go over quickly, don't let them wait." So the two men separated, and each got into the carriage.

The plain white curtain was slowly pulled down, covering the suffocating hazy sky outside.

The car slowly drove away from the palace, and slowly walked along the wide Beijing Avenue towards the West City Gate, and everyone's expressions along the way were particularly strict, and almost no one was willing to speak first.

Concubine Xiao's mausoleum has already been built, and her tomb is also arranged in the Murong Royal Mausoleum, and its tomb is next to the emperor, according to the rules of the Taizheng Dynasty, only the queen of the main palace can be buried with the emperor, but the concubine is not qualified, even if you are favored, although she can not be buried with the emperor, but it is not too far away.

The Murong Royal Cemetery is half a day's drive from the capital, so it was close to the royal cemetery from the time of the hour to the time of the unitary, but the sky was already dark, but it could not delay the hour, so the horse and whip quickly, came directly to the cemetery, because of the weather, so the stars and the moon were dim, so the accompanying guards all lit the torches, everyone raised the torches high, and brought many lamps at the same time, all of which were lit and hung directly on the trees and bamboo poles, so the whole cemetery was illuminated by the lights as bright as day.

The time of Concubine Xiao's burial was Haishi, so everyone waited in the cemetery for a while, and then the Qiē event began to be held.

Everyone came to the front of the mausoleum of Concubine Xiao, someone had already opened the tomb, everyone took a look through the light, only to see that the tomb of Concubine Xiao was only a few feet away from the magnificent tomb of the emperor, the scale of her tomb was many times smaller than that of the emperor, in addition to a stone table, there was a small tombstone in addition to a small stone lion accompanied, and on both sides of the tomb of the emperor there were stone lions, stone horses, stone statues, etc., the specifications were also very objective, and the tombstone was seven or eight feet high, and the inscription on it was thousands of words, However, the tombstone of Concubine Xiao is very short, and the inscription on it is only a few crosses, this memorial text is written by the emperor himself, and then there are special craftsmen carved on it, but everyone noticed that the honorific title of Concubine Xiao is not a deep concubine, but "Duanxiu Dunyi Xiaoshu Queen", Concubine Xiao got the honorific title of a queen, this was not able to be a queen in her life, and she was chased as a queen after her death.

"When the auspicious time comes, I respectfully invite the concubine to enter the underground palace." At this time, the great eunuch Defu pulled his little sharp voice and was cold, because there was a mountain opposite, and there was an echo, so his voice was heard far and wide, and it was still echoing in the mountain, plus he was in the cemetery, and hearing the slight echo made people have an inexplicable sense of fear.

Everyone bowed three times to the coffin of Concubine Xiao for the last time, and then the four ministers carried the coffin of Concubine Xiao and slowly went down to the underground palace with a group of craftsmen, the underground palace is quite wide, but the light is too dark, although the craftsmen in front of them are holding torches, but it is still a little dim, but fortunately, the tomb road is spacious and gentle, so the four ministers carried the coffin of Concubine Xiao and stepped on the light of Hunan to follow the craftsmen who built the mausoleum to walk towards the underground palace, and walked in less than half an hour to the front of a stone gate, Four people carried the coffin and stopped, only to see a large stone door of white marble in front of them, two gates, a total of five buttons, but it was designed according to the mutual restraint of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, only to see a craftsman press a few times at will on it, and the stone door was open, there was a black hole inside, the torch suddenly illuminated the stone house, there were two marble giant stones behind the stone door, which was used to seal the door for a while, but this is the craftsman who followed it can only die in the tomb, Because they could not be allowed to come out alive, the tomb was built by them, and if they came out with bad intentions, the tomb might be stolen, so the main craftsman who built the mausoleum would definitely die, but the court would give them good treatment for their families, and it was worth it for a group of poor people to exchange their lives for the family's food and clothing.

Xiao Suen and others carried the coffin into the stone room, and then gently placed the coffin on the coffin bed in the middle, and saw that the walls around were carved with exquisite patterns through the light, and around the coffin bed were all kinds of rare treasures that the owner loved during his lifetime, as well as some daily utensils.

The four ministers bowed to Concubine Xiao's coffin three times at the end, and then walked slowly out of the house, and then the moment he walked out, the stone door was slowly closed, and when he heard a loud noise, it turned out that several craftsmen moved the two giant stones to the stone gate and resisted the stone door, and then a craftsman came out and put the stone door on the shuttle, and then he took out the dagger and stabbed his throat without hesitation, and suddenly the blood rained down, and the man fell, and the minister of Ran Si'er held the torch and walked away according to the way he came. They had already seen such a scene, so they were indifferent.

The four ministers came out of the tomb, and the emperor ordered someone to come and seal the tomb, and as soon as the order was given, the accompanying guards went into battle together, holding shovels and other tools and began to seal the tomb.

In less than an hour, the tomb was sealed.

"The Emperor; The mourning family sees that everyone should go to the nearby Tieji Temple to stay for a while, and leave for home tomorrow, what do you think? Empress Dowager Xiao slowly turned her body from the tomb and faced the emperor. Empress Dowager Xiao saw that her sister had finally settled in the ground, and she was relieved.

The Emperor looked at the group, then nodded; "I also have this intention, then go to the Iron Threshold Temple to rest temporarily, but I have wronged you, the queen mother."

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed helplessly, her face slightly bitter; "Why be wronged, let's go."

In this way, everyone left the cemetery and went straight to the Tiejian Temple not far from the mausoleum.
