Luoyang Summer Gate, Wanshou Pavilion.

His Majesty's hearse arrived, and the general He Jin led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him with mourning and weeping.

"In the bed is called the corpse, in the coffin is called the coffin." His Majesty collapsed on the couch. There are no coffins in the wilderness. There was nowhere to get ice, so the imperial doctor used green salt to embalm. Because of this, everyone is in a hurry to return to Luoyang. Replace the secret weapon of the East Garden in time to keep His Majesty's body from decaying.

The city is full of vegetarians, crying on all sides.

Death is greater. Your Majesty's merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. However, he died on the Northern Patrol Road and collapsed on the dune platform. It's embarrassing. Luoyang has many royal relatives and nobles. Comparing hearts to hearts, after all, they are their own heirs. How can you not be sad from the heart.

Entrance to the palace gate. Empress Dowager Dou, Empress Dowager Dong, Empress He, and the two princes all stood in front of the door.

King Ji got out of the car and knelt on the ground, but he choked up and couldn't speak: "...... minister"

"The dignified Thistle King, why did you let my son die tragically in front of you." Empress Dowager Dong asked with tears in her eyes.

"Minister, ashamed of Your Majesty, ashamed of the Queen Mother, ashamed of being a minister." Liu Bei pleaded guilty on the ground.

"Where is Wang Fen?" He then asked through gritted teeth.

"Empress Yu, the rebel thief Wang Fen has been beheaded." Hu Ben Zhonglang will Wang Yue, and answer for the king of thistle.

"Who else is involved, plotting to assassinate my son?" Empress Dowager Dong asked again.

"The secret letters exchanged were all burned. Ministers, I don't know. Cao Cao, the general of the light car, replied.

"This matter must be investigated to the end." Empress Dowager Dong gritted her teeth and hated: "The remnants of the Yellow Turban, kill Wang Meiren first, and then harm Your Majesty." I hate to gnaw on its flesh and sleep on its skin. This matter was handed over to the King of Thistle. ”

"Minister, obey." When it comes to life and death enemies with the Yellow Turban Thief, the Thistle King is second to none.

"Sorry for my son, sorry for my child......" After explaining her wishes, Empress Dowager Dong helped her soul and wept. Inside and outside the palace, there was a cry.

His Majesty's hearse entered the palace, and everything was on the right track. Wang Yue, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, etc., each led their troops back to the camp. King Ji was also helped up by Zuo Feng of the Yellow Gate, sent to the car, and returned to the mansion. His Majesty's body, with its own Dongyuan Palace people, is carefully collected.

Death is like life. It is believed that when a person dies, he or she travels to another world. Therefore, when a person dies, he must first "summon a soul".

When a person dies at the first time, he will go to the house to summon his spirits. Shouting the names of the deceased. If they are not allowed to be born again, they will be mourned.

"Bathing", after summoning the spirit, wash its hair body.

"Rice contains", placing rice shells in the mouth of the deceased is called "rice", and placing pearls and jade is called "Han". "The Son of Heaven is a pearl, the princes are jade, the doctor is a jade, the doctor is a shell, and the people are a grain." The purpose is twofold. One of them is the real mouth. "The Legend of the Ram": "What's the containment? Honest mouths also. ”。 The second is to protect the body from decay. "Book of Han": "The mouth contains jade, you can't turn it into a desire, and it is dry wax, and after a thousand years, the coffin is rotten, but it has to be returned to the earth, and it is its true house."

"Cover", wrap the head with a silk to replace the hat.

"Cover" to cover the face of the deceased with a square scarf.

"Yao", plug ear.

"Jade Nine Hole Plug", jade burial utensils, including a pair of jade eye covers, a pair of jade ear plugs, a pair of jade nose plugs, a white jade cicada, a jade anal plug and a jade yin plug. "Hug Puzi": "The golden jade is in the nine orifices, and the dead are immortal."

"Tie and knot", wrap the deceased's shoes with straps and tie knots on the instep. "Shi Funeral": "Shang Zhu covers, Yao, set up a banner, Nai, Qi knot in the tarsus". Prevent the soul of the dead from going out of the body and haunting the living.

"Burial" is different from small burial and large burial. Dress the deceased as a small burial. On the second day of the deceased's death, a mortuary bed is set up in the hall, a straw mat is spread on the top, a wide strip of cloth is spread on the mat, a mattress is hung on the top, and then the deceased is dressed in funeral clothes. The ancient rites were formulated, regardless of the dignity of the deceased, the shroud was nineteen layers, and there was no need to use so much. The burial is to move the deceased into the coffin. The funeral means the final farewell of the dead and the living. The coffin should be filled with spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes for the deceased to wear in another world, at four o'clock. The number of sets of clothes depends on the status of the deceased, 100 sets for the Son of Heaven, 50 sets for doctors, and 30 sets for scholars. If the family is poor, you can be simple.

After the deceased is placed in the coffin, some valuable utensils or things cherished by the deceased during his lifetime need to be put into the coffin for him to enjoy. After the funeral, the coffin lid was added by the craftsman and sealed tightly. The mortuary bed was removed, the spiritual seat was set up, and the memorial ceremony was performed. At this point, the funeral ceremony ended.

Nowadays, princes often use golden jade clothes as burial clothes.

"Mao", the cloth that covers the corpse, "Jun Jin Mao, Dafu Xuanmao, Shi Jian Mao".

"Hanging", the linen straps used to collect the corpses, tie up the clothes worn by the deceased. "The Book of Rites, the Great Funeral": "Small gathering, cloth twisting, shrinking one, horizontal three." Large, cloth twisting, shrinking three, horizontal five. ”

"Silk Painting, Mingjing", the silk painting is made of silk silk, and there are delicate and exquisite color pictures painted on it. It is composed of three parts: heavenly, earthly, and underground. Heaven and earth are depicted according to myths and legends, and the human world is painted with portraits and daily life of the tomb owner. The inscription is made of silk and linen, in the shape of a long strip, on which there may be a pattern, the place of origin and name of the owner of the tomb, etc., to express the name of the deceased, or to represent the soul of the deceased.

"Funeral", the car carrying the deceased, is called a hearse, also known as a locomotive. At the time of the funeral, the locomotive departs. The mourners carry the lead and call the hair. The cover refers to the rope that pulls the locomotive to send it to the funeral, and it is in place. 翣 (shà), a feather decoration next to the coffin of the funeral car. Road sacrifices, feasts are set up along the way. Elegy, the song of mourning for the deceased sung by the person who walks in front of the mourning car.

"Funeral", that is, when the funeral is carried out, the coffin is accompanied to the mound, or the funeral palace.

First, local or foreign relatives and friends go to the bereaved home for funeral. Second, the princes, kings, nobles, and important ministers died of illness, and the Son of Heaven and the Empress ordered those of the same level as the deceased to be mourned. the third is the funeral of famous generals, meritorious heroes, and dignitaries, and the imperial court special imperial forest army escorts the coffin; Or soldiers of the three arms of the armed forces, horse, infantry, and chariot, lined up along the way to greet and send off the coffin.

After the funeral, it is a funeral.

Tell the bad news to the public, like an obituary for future generations. "The Son of Heaven collapsed" is a national mourning. The princes all went to Beijing to mourn, the imperial court abolished the dynasty and the funeral, and the state and county officials led the officials to "look at the capital and cry", and the whole country mourned.

After the corpse is collected, before the funeral, it is called the burial period.

The burial period of the Son of Heaven is long enough. Remove the large and small corpses, repair the mausoleum, wait for the princes to mourn, and so on. The selection of the new emperor is the most important thing.

His Majesty collapsed in his prime. The crown prince was not ordained. There was no edict left either. When he was dying, only the servants around him, and Liu Bei, the king of thistle, was on his side. The dying words are a big deal. Therefore, after entering the palace, they were all taken to the Huangmen North Temple Prison. Strict interrogation and secrecy.

The beauties of the West Garden, the little yellow door, etc., are humble and insignificant.

Only the king of thistle is high and powerful, and he is well-known in the world. He is a minister entrusted by His Majesty.

His Majesty's dying words, what are they? As long as the thistle king speaks, everything is a certainty.

Changqiu Palace.

"How." He asked urgently.

The general He Jin replied through the curtain: "The minister has ordered people to torture him." The entourage and others all said: Your Majesty's will, as recorded in the "Living Book". ”

"Brother to brother, Your Majesty should really make the Marquis of Hefei the emperor!" He was angry.

"Exactly." The general replied.

"The words of the slave and maid are not to be believed. The Living Book is even less reliable. He Hou killed the machine word by word: "The key is the king of thistle." ”

"Minister, think the same way." The general He Jin approached and said: "If King Ji changes his mind, the queen still needs to come forward in person." ”
