Luoshui is in the south. The funeral procession had to pass through Nanguo. Arrive at the shore of Luoshui.

Nanguo is the area between the south city wall and Luoshui that is six miles wide from east to west and four miles long from north to south. Taixue, Lingtai, Mingtang, and many other buildings are on the south bank of Luoshui.

The sky was slightly bright, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. The boatmen on both sides of Luoshui also just got up. The big ships lined up on both sides of the Luoshui River, with thousands of sails in full swing, like a silent colossus, silently watching this funeral procession from a foreign land.

A clearing at the port. Firewood has been piled up in advance. The pyre is also covered with blankets, pillows and other bedding that Ann uses every day. Torches are not held aloft by others. It was the same monk who held up the fire on that day.

The iron coffin fell to the ground. The mourners carried Ann's body out and put it on the pyre.

Facing a ray of rising sun, the monk handed the torch to Liu Bei again.

As the eminent monk said. Liu Bei is the final implication between the prince and the princess. The two lived and died together. It can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end.

The sun is shining. Ann seemed to be asleep, and his face was peaceful. Liu Bei took a deep look. Around the pyre, light a ring of fire.

He threw the torch in.

Zoroastrianism is holy to fire. In Liu Bei's opinion. It is better to burn the bones than to let the falcon peck.

The flames are rising. Liu Bei took a few steps back, avoiding the heat wave sweeping through.

Suddenly, someone snooped. subconsciously turned around, but only saw that his face was pale, his thin lips were like blood, his robe was like ink, his body was floating like mist, and he was about to die. Liu Bei always felt that he had countless secrets on him and would be buried with him.

The Hou Mansion convoy has arrived, and the two righteous brothers have come to escort them.

Liu Bei said goodbye to everyone and boarded the car and left. Rushed to Xuanling to participate in the Shangling ceremony.

The eunuch Cao Jie bowed down to the ground and sent Liu Bei away. Before he could get up, he coughed violently. Behind him, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Seeing Liu Bei's car drive away, Cao Jie's eyes were full of deep meaning.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Emperor Xiaoling Eighth": "In February of the first year of Jianning, Xinyou, Emperor Xiaohuan was buried in Xuanling, and the temple was called Weizong. "Emperor Fu Mi of the Jin Dynasty "Imperial Century": "Emperor Huan Xuanling Mountain is 300 steps and 12 zhang high. In the southeast of Luoyang, go to Luoyang for thirty miles. ”

Liu Bei entered the royal car and Jia Xu boarded the auxiliary car. Xu Rong and Cheng Pu led the dragon and tiger campers to open the road, and Shi Jian and the embroidered clothes were scattered left and right. The group roared away.

It is the so-called "safe car and horse". The chariots and horses are all royal gifts from His Majesty during the New Year's Day. The workmanship is excellent, and the carriage is wide and long. Sister Wan'er and Sister Shuang'er have brought their court clothes with the car. Liu Bei kept his spirit for three days and did not wash it. So he washed himself in the car and changed into the royal clothes.

Sister Shuang'er has rare silver hair. Light blue eyes, skin like agar, white jade flawless. The personality is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and it is the most cold and glamorous. Therefore, the mother was named after the color of 'frost'. It is said that there is a dual bloodline of Gaoche and Xianbei. She is the sixth of the seven sisters. Swordsmanship is said to be the most authentic sword.

Liu Bei sometimes thinks. The seven maids were bought by Liaodong Tian Shao with a lot of money. But I don't know who adopted me and why I sold it at a high price. It must be known that the seven maids have extraordinary origins. When he was adopted, he was still young. Memories are also incomplete. Even so. The piecemeal memories still made Liu Bei speechless. In the early years, he had asked Tian Shao, but he was vague. Only one Luoyang address was given. When Liu Bei went to Luoyang in person, he would find the address. The building has long been empty. I asked my neighbors, but I couldn't find them. That's all there is to it.

The seven sisters naturally understood Liu Bei's thoughts. After finding their respective families, Liu Bei married Mrs. Ru, and never wronged a few young ladies.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes.

Dozens of miles of official roads, horses and cars will arrive soon.

Death is like life.

Ordinary people have to use it before their deaths and bring it into the underworld with a bright vessel. Not to mention the dignified son of heaven. The high platform of the palace enjoyed during life should also be enjoyed after death.

"Emperor Huan's Xuanling Mountain is three hundred steps and twelve zhang high." By the time Emperor Fu Mi of the Jin Dynasty wrote "The Century of Emperors", the Luoyang Imperial Mausoleum had already been burned down by Dong Zhuo when Luoyang was burned and millions of people were moved to Chang'an. The tomb was buried and was dug up. Only a bare mountain remains.

At this time, it was a magnificent palace complex. There are also soldiers guarding the mountain gate. Another important role of the imperial tomb is to accommodate the concubines of the first emperor, the eunuchs and so on.

In ancient times, the three dynasties of the Xia and Shang dynasties all had a funeral system. The concubines of the former kings were to be buried. After the Qin Dynasty, the concubine burial system was abolished. Except for Emperor Wu who let Liu Fuling succeed to the throne, in order to remove the harem and interfere in politics, and order Mrs. Gouyi to be martyred, there are few cases of martyrdom in the two Han Dynasty.

In the former Han Dynasty, most of the women who were not lucky would be dismissed from the palace. If there is an heir or an adopted son, the heir will get a piece of food, and the mother will go to the fiefdom with the son to live. When Emperor Wen was emperor, he left an edict. All concubines who have no heirs in the harem are released from the palace to marry. The concubines who did not want to leave the palace practiced in the palace, chanting sutras and praying in the morning and dusk, praying for more blessings and longevity for the new emperor.

After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he usually sent more old concubines in the palace to guard the spirits of the former emperor and take care of the cemetery. so as to free up the palace room for his concubines. These concubines of the first emperor guarded the cemetery until they died, and they were buried in the tomb of the first emperor.

Ban Jieyu once begged to guard the tomb of Emperor Cheng for the rest of her life. He was later buried in the tomb of Emperor Cheng.

The concubines who guard the tomb are old and decrepit for more than half a year. can be like Wu Meiniang, collect all the dragon balls and be taken over by the new emperor, a dime.

In other words. The ceremony of going to the mausoleum, for these concubines guarding the mausoleum, is the most anticipated ceremony of the year. Don't seek to be fortunate for the new emperor. I just want to be able to relive the past. Even if you only see a distant relative, you can also contaminate popularity.

Get off at the mountain gate. Liu Bei, accompanied by the chief bookkeeper Jia Xu and two righteous brothers, entered the imperial mausoleum.

Walking up the stairs, there are tigers on both sides to guard them. Hundreds of ministers and officials walked in pairs. When I climbed the high platform, I saw that many people had gathered in front of the hall. Among the hundred officials. Liu Bei only recognized Cui Taiwei, Enshi, Yushi Liu Tao and others.

Suddenly, I heard someone in the corner making a loud noise. When I looked up, I was staring at a person. Their eyes met slightly, and they each left. But there are still waves in the chest.

This man must be a hero.

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "The one who is powerful in the group is He Jin in the service." He is the eldest brother of the Queen. ”

Liu Bei followed what Jia Xu said, and sure enough, he saw a burly and sturdy person. Then he asked quietly: "Who is the hero standing beside He Shizhong?" ”

Jia Xu then said: "Nai Runan Yuan was originally also!" ”

It's Yuan Shao!

See Liu Bei and look again. Yuan Shao, who was dignified, separated the crowd and walked straight over.

"Runan Yuan Shao."

"Linxiang Liu Bei."

The two are similar in height and have the same momentum. Salute each other and attract everyone to peep.

"It was in front of the townspeople. Sho, that's rude. "Flattening becomes longer and reaches the ground.

Liu Bei also returned the salute: "As a minister in the same hall, how can it be rude." ”

Yuan Shao said: "Shao is white, and he should make amends." ”

Liu Bei said again: "Today's white body, An Zhi will also be white tomorrow?" Before the mausoleum of the first emperor, there were only descendants. Fellowship with peers, why not. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this: "A good one is only a descendant." ”

"Primordial?" The person who called behind him was none other than He Jin, the waiter.

Yuan Shao approached and invited: "The prince and follow me to see the servants." ”

"Please." Liu Bei thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The two walked one after the other towards the crowd gathered around He Jin.

"Waiting, come on, come on, this is the Linxiang Marquis of Weizhen Northern Xinjiang!" Before anyone arrived, Yuan Shao had already shouted loudly.

Rao is He Jin, whose eyes are above the top at this time, also changed color when he heard the sound. It shows Liu Bei's name.

"Liu Bei has seen Shizhong, Zhugong." Liu Bei saluted first.

Everyone replied: "Xiaguan has seen Linxianghou." ”

It is rare for He Jin to also hold his fists: "It turned out to be a heavenly unicorn, and He was disrespectful." ”

"Don't dare." Liu Bei kept a low profile.

Before he could talk, he heard someone behind him.

"Xuande?"

There is no need to look back, Wen Sheng is known to be a teacher. Liu Bei confessed and rushed to meet his teacher.

Seeing Liu Bei leave, Yuan Shao and He Jin whispered. I don't know what to say.
