The so-called death is like life, that is, what the emperor was like when he was alive, and what he wanted to be like after death. When you are alive, you must have a palace that faces the front and the back to sleep, and after you die, you must have the same rules. When you are alive, you have to live luxuriously, and when you go underground, you can't live badly. Even some emperors had to bring a large number of concubines to be buried when they died.

Now we have come to this Great Qi Dynasty that has not only experienced any cultural discontinuity, but also has not changed customs from different races. The tradition of the upper and lower palaces of the imperial tombs, which has lasted for thousands of years, has been completely changed. The regulation of the imperial mausoleum building, which should have appeared hundreds of years later, has been advanced by so many years, which cannot but make Huang Qiong suspicious.

It's just that suspicion is suspicion, but at present, Huang Qiong, as a descendant of later generations, naturally can't make any evaluation of the ancestors' practices. In all Chinese dynasties, most of them flaunted filial piety to rule the world. And this so-called filial piety does not refer to filial piety to parents, but the rules set by the ancestors, which cannot be changed in the slightest.

Even if it is a descendant of future generations who have ruined the country and ruined the country again, at least the so-called ancestral system that is treated lip service is still abided by. The system left by our ancestors, even if it no longer meets the needs of the development of the times, must not be questioned. For future generations, the ancestral system is an iron law that cannot be moved.

What's more, how his ancestor was willing to repair his own mausoleum back then was his own business, wasn't it? Although Huang Qiong is more curious, it is the true identity of the king of Guilin back then, and how he persuaded his ancestor to change the old system since the Han and Tang Dynasties. Judging from his series of practices, his old ancestor is not the kind of person who is pioneering and enterprising.

Moreover, although these imperial tombs are still luxurious, they are customized compared to the imperial tombs of the Han and Tang dynasties, especially the former Tang Dynasty Yishan as a mausoleum. At least in terms of engineering volume and consumption, it has also been greatly reduced. This can be regarded as reducing the burden on the common people, which is a good thing on the whole.

As the Daxing Empress Zigong entered the temporary shrine in the funeral palace, this room was closed as the gate of the temporary shrine. The concubines, kings, and princesses who sent the funeral in Beijing took off their filial piety robes and burned them, which was equivalent to the first emperor and queen funeral that Huang Qiong experienced when she returned to this era, and it basically ended here.

All that remains is to wait for the completion of the emperor's longevity mausoleum, or the completion of the construction of the underground palace. Qin Tian supervised the selection of an auspicious day of the zodiac, and then buried the queen in the underground palace. It's just that judging from the current general trend of the world, this wait does not know how long it will last, and no one dares to guarantee it.

If the drought in the northwest continues, it will not cause any chaos. With the current income of the imperial court, a large amount of money and grain will be allocated for disaster relief. The time for the resumption of construction of this imperial mausoleum may also be delayed again and again. Once the drought in the northwest really causes chaos, it is estimated that the completion of this Shouling tomb will be even more distant.

Of course, you can also bury the queen of Daxing first after the completion of Fangcheng, Baoding, and the underground palace. The rest of the buildings, such as the Qi'en Palace, the Lingxing Gate, and the Ling'en Gate, will be slowly constructed. However, it depends on the emperor's intentions, and it is not something that you should worry about.

It's just that this time the queen's funeral, although it seems to be completed peacefully, but the real situation is probably only God knows. In fact, everyone in the capital who has a keen sense of smell knows clearly that there are many things hidden under this calm. The calm in front of me is probably just a precursor to the imminent mountain rain and the wind filling the building.

At least King Jing and King Duan, who were close to Jingzhao Mansion, repeatedly made excuses to shirk the previous emperor's request for them to enter the palace to serve the sick. Later, when his mother was on a big trip, he never paid attention to his request to go to Beijing to mourn and see off his mother.

Now that the major events have basically been completed, many people know that with the moment the queen's Zigong enters the funeral palace, the sky in the middle of the court is probably about to change. With the emperor's character, it is estimated that he can endure the disloyalty and unfilial piety of these two people until now. Now that the weather has entered autumn, it is a good time to settle accounts after autumn.

On the way back from the funeral, in addition to the carriages taken by the concubines, they returned first under the strict escort of the Royal Forest Army. The rest of the princes, princesses, and princes and dignitaries who sent the funeral said that they returned by car, sedan chair, and horse. The prince and the princess are better, and they are not used to seeing each other on weekdays, and they will not get together to talk at this time.

But the ministers in the team were noticeably less calm. Or two colleagues huddled in a sedan chair, or three or two people in a carriage, whispering and constantly discussing something. Although the funeral of more than 20 days and the trek of more than 100 miles to the funeral, everyone is extremely tired. But at the moment, for these ministers, their minds are a little heavy.

And when returning from the Gongyi Emperor's Mausoleum area, Huang Qiong, who finally didn't have to return after walking more than 100 miles, rode on a horse and followed the slow return of the team, while chatting with King Yong, who was dragged out of the carriage by him. And King Yong looked at the ninth brother who was full of interest and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road, and he also shook his head.

The scenery along the way from the Imperial Mausoleum to Jingzhao Mansion is already familiar to King Yong, who has to accompany the emperor every year and come to Gongyi Emperor's Mausoleum to worship his ancestors, and he is not familiar at all. Yongwang, who had been guarding the spirit for more than 20 days, even if he was physically strong, would be a little tired, originally just wanted to rest in the carriage so that he could recover his vitality earlier.

It can be seen that Huang Qiong was full of interest, and in the end she did not take the carriage, but chose to accompany Huang Qiong to ride a horse. As for the crown prince, he had already taken the guards at this time, and despite the opposition of the accompanying spirit protector and Shangshu Zuocheng, he rode all the way back to Jingzhao Mansion first. As for the King of Shu, he voluntarily stayed in the funeral palace and guarded the hundred days of filial piety for his mother, no one could object to it, right?

What's more, the decision of the King of Shu must have been approved by the emperor, and it is even more difficult for others to intervene. The absence of the prince, the prince and the king of Shu, the two concubines of the queen of Daxing, made the entire funeral procession relax a lot. So Huang Qiong and King Yong rode side by side, but no one had any opinions.

Even the Lord Shangshu Zuocheng, who served as the guardian of the soul and the general escort of the Empress Zigong to the funeral palace. I'm worried that something will happen to this troublesome British king. also specially dispatched 100 cavalry from the 3,000 royal forest troops who escorted the funeral of Zigong Palace to protect the two princes. lest this old man run around and make some accidents.

Before this prince was assassinated and seriously injured, how many people in the court were implicated in losing their black gauze hats? This Shangshu Zuo Cheng can be said to still remember it vividly. For this prince, he didn't dare to be careless. What's more, right now, by the side of this prince, there is also King Yong, who is also troublesome. Two princes who are the same troublemakers, how can they reassure this Shangshu Zuocheng?

The hundred cavalry sent out was not so much to protect these two princes, but to watch these two princes not to cause trouble. As long as these two princes don't cause any accidents on the way, they can stop until they return to Jingzhao Mansion, and they can make a difference. Thinking that there are a hundred cavalry to protect it, it is estimated that there is no such eyeless thief, dare to take the initiative to provoke these two.

Regarding the thoughts of this Shangshu Zuocheng, Huang Qiong and Yongwang didn't pay attention to it. The two people on the horse, looking at the scenery on both sides along the way, talked while talking. Although the scenery from Gongyi to Luoyang is far less spectacular than Zhongyue Song Mountain in the south, it is not without scenery to see.

As for King Yong, although he was too familiar with this path to be familiar with, he felt a little bored. But he also knew that his ninth brother had been sitting and closed since he was born. For eighteen years, King Yong didn't know how his ninth brother came out.

Thinking about the days when he couldn't do anything in front of the four walls all day long, King Yong estimated that if he changed himself, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy. And finally waited until he left the palace, and the old man made such a move. In his entire mansion, either the old man's people are the prince's people.

Not to mention the ninth brother, who has a special identity, that is, no matter who he changes, he has to honestly continue to sit in the well and watch the sky in the mansion, for fear of arousing the suspicion of his father and brother. The old man is better, after all, he is his own father. But the prince is the master who can't rub a little sand in his eyes. Look at you wrong, you don't know how to kill you.

A few days ago, King Zhao, King Jia and King Fengcheng died, although King Yong did not know the inside story, he also knew that his three brothers were definitely not normal deaths. Even if King Zhao was ill, he was longer than the queen of Daxing. But as for whether King Zhao, who was the only good friend among the brothers before Huang Qiong left the palace, died of illness, King Yong still saw it very clearly.

Although it is not known who did it, the Yongwang has always believed that the crown prince should be the first choice. Therefore, as for Huang Qiong's previous reasons why he was in his own mansion, he was honest and did not go out of the door and did not step out of the second door, King Yong did not have a general understanding. But if he was allowed to live that kind of life, King Yong felt that he would be suffocating even if he was suffocating.

Riding on a horse, looking at Huang Qiong beside him, King Yong couldn't help but shake his head, his brother, is really ill-fated enough. I finally went out once, but I just went to the suburbs of the capital, and I was assassinated. Not only was he seriously injured, but he also lost the only trusted person around him.

This time, he followed the funeral team for Empress Daxing to Gongyi, and it is estimated that it is the first time he has seen the scenery outside Jingzhao Mansion since he was born. Although he is a little tired, he is also this guy, the only good brother at the moment. Since he has this leisure, he will sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman this time.

Although King Yong decided to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, it has never been his style to walk like this along the way. Among all the mourners, the only two people on horseback waited until they gradually distanced themselves from the slower palanquins and carriages behind them. King Yongcai didn't have anything to say and came to Huang Qiong's side and said, "I said brother, I have only seen Concubine Jing a few times in the past few days." ”

"Good guy, this aura is really too much. Don't talk about my unsuccessful brother, I didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere when I first met. is the prince and the king of Shu, if they don't hold on, it is estimated that they will not be able to stand. Look at those ministers who have experienced the events of the past, where is the one who was not frightened and knelt down? ”

"That aura, even the queen of Daxing is far inferior. Let's talk about my conscience, compared with Concubine Jing, Queen Daxing has become a concubine who is full of small family spirit and only promises. As for that concubine, she has become an authentic shrew. I really don't know how your kid has been boiled out of Concubine Jing's hands all these years. ”

"Concubine Jing is a very demanding person at first glance, who either doesn't do anything, or must be the best if you want to do it. In the hands of this kind of mother, I'm afraid your kid's life has not been easy all these years. Your seemingly sleek appearance, but actually a very strong character, was also taught by Concubine Jing. Thinking about it now, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you to have a mother like Concubine Jing. ”
