Chapter 13 Abolition of human burials
When the princes and ministers thought that they had done a perfect job and slept peacefully, their words and deeds appeared on the table of Emperor Chu.
Bang, the sound of the vase breaking came from the Manna Temple.
Manager He, who was standing on the side, was startled, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is angry." ”
"Evil obstacles, brutes, for the sake of my position, do not hesitate to sacrifice their own flesh and blood brothers. Old dog, you tell me, what can't these beasts do, they are looking forward to the death of the prince early, are you looking forward to me now, ah...! ”
With another bang, another vase smashed to the ground, and Emperor Chu said angrily after watching the princes and ministers talk.
"Give an order to King Wu and King Yue, without my permission, you must not go out of the border army for half a step, otherwise, you will see me."
"The second and fifth are also very good, this is to remove Xuan'er and Hao'er, it seems that Xuan'er's ability is not weak, not only the prince, so many brothers are worried about you, haha, yes, there is always one that makes me happy, the old dog protects Xuan'er and Hao'er to me, otherwise I will punish your nine clans."
Manager He didn't dare to be careless, and said seriously: "It's Your Majesty, the old slave will arrange it." ”
When Xiao Chenxuan and Xiao Chenhao arrived at the palace, they were already sons, and the palace gate was closed, but they could still see that the palace was brightly lit everywhere, Xiao Chenxuan and Xiao Chenhao showed their identities, and the guards gave way to the two of them quickly.
He Fu, the chief eunuch, came to Emperor Chu and whispered, "Your Majesty, King Anyang and King Hui have arrived. ”
Emperor Chu nodded, and said with a tired face: "Huo"
Xiao Chenxuan and Xiao Chenhao got the permission of Emperor Chu to quickly walk into Emperor Chu's study, at this time, Emperor Chu's face was slightly pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was messy.
Emperor Chu glanced up at the two of them, his face improved slightly, and he showed a faint smile: "It's here." ”
After Xiao Chenhao looked at Emperor Chu, he threw himself into Emperor Chu's arms and cried. "Father, why did the prince's brother leave, father, woo..."
Emperor Chu touched Xiao Chenhao's head and said with relief: "Emperor! Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, Hao'er don't cry, your prince and brother are watching it in the sky, he is still crying when he is so big, and he is not afraid of people's jokes. ”
Xiao Chenhao doesn't care if others laugh or not, his father doesn't laugh. "Woo... Father"
Emperor Chu turned his head to look at Xiao Chenxuan, at this time Xiao Chenxuan was infected by Xiao Chenhao's crying, tears rolled in his eyes, and he looked like he was about to cry, Emperor Chu comforted: "It's so late, the road is smooth." ”
Xiao Chenxuan said: "Father Xie cares, why is my father still restless, my father's dragon body is important, the prince's brother's affairs, the sons and daughters can go over and deal with it later, and the father doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Emperor Chu was very satisfied when he heard Xiao Chenxuan's answer, and then asked, "Xuan'er, how are you going to start the funeral of your prince's brother!" ”
Xiao Chenxuan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of how to handle the funeral in the feudal era, and then thought about it again and replied: "Erchen asked his father to cancel the funeral and change it to..."
Before Xiao Chenxuan finished speaking, Emperor Chu was dissatisfied and said loudly: "Hmph, as soon as your prince brother leaves, what are you going to do, what the ancestors have passed down for thousands of years, how can you let you handle it, you have to cancel it, where do you want your prince brother to stay alone, ah...!" This is the funeral I asked you to give to your prince's brother? ”
Xiao Chenxuan knew that the funeral system left by the ancestors for thousands of years had changed suddenly, and Emperor Chu might not be able to accept it, so he immediately thought about it a little and asked: "Father and Emperor Son's ministers have heard that the elders of the wood will consolidate their roots; Those who want to flow far will dredge their springs; Those who think about the safety of the country will accumulate their virtues.
The source is not deep and the flow is far away, the roots are not solid and seek the length of the wood, the virtue is not thick and the governance of the country, although the sons are foolish, they know that they can't, and the situation is clear? The king of the people is the weight of the artifact, the big in the domain, will be the height of the sky, and the rest of the world will always be boundless
Don't think of danger in peace, quit luxury and frugality, don't deal with its thickness, love is overwhelmed, Si also cut roots to seek Mu Mao, plug the source and want to flow long.
Where the head of the hundreds, inheriting the destiny of the heavens, all of them are not worried and the way, the success and the decline of virtue, the good beginning is really complicated, and the end can overcome the widow.
Is it easy to take and how hard to keep? In the past, there was more than enough, and now it is not enough, why not? The husband will be wholeheartedly waiting for his worries, and he will indulge in pride in his ambitions; Dedication is Wu, the more as one, proud of the flesh and blood for the road
Although Dong Zhi was severely punished and shocked with anger, he was finally spared without benevolence, and he was respectful but not convinced.
The resentment is not big, but it is terrifying; It is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat and capsizing a boat.
Running to the car and running the rope, can it be sudden? If you are a gentleman, you can see what you want, and you will think enough to abstain from self-discipline; If there will be something to do, then thinking and knowing will stop to appease people; Thinking of high danger, then thinking of humility and self-shepherding; If you are afraid of overflowing, you will think of the rivers and seas; Lepan tour, then think of three drives as a degree; If you are slack, you will be cautious and respect the end; If you are worried, you will think humbly to accept it; If you are afraid of slander and evil, you will think of righteousness and dethrone evil; If you add grace, you will think without a cause and enjoy the fallacy; If the punishment is reached, there is no anger and the punishment is abused
In summary, the ten thoughts, Hongzi nine virtues, simple and can be done, choose the good and follow it, then the wise do their best, the brave do their best, the benevolent broadcast their benefits, and the believers serve their loyalty; Civil and military contention, the monarch and the minister have nothing to do, you can enjoy the joy of Yu travel, you can raise the longevity of Song Qiao, and the piano hangs down, and it goes without saying.
Why bother thinking hard, taking the place of the subordinate, serving the eyes and ears of wisdom, and doing nothing? ”
Emperor Chu retreated angrily after hearing this, but because he was angry just now, he didn't have time to understand what Xiao Chenxuan said, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the point!" ”
Xiao Chenxuan could see that Emperor Chu's anger had gone, and the beating heart speed slowed down: "Father, the son thinks that the people are precious, the king is light, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat, so it should be cautious!" ”
"Father, you think, now the Seven Kingdoms are in turmoil, and the people are miserable, if we can abolish human burials in our Chu State, there will be countless lives and survival of ordinary people and slaves, and they will be grateful to my Chu royal family, so as to increase the people's trust in my Chu State, and if my Chu State can be unified in the future, it will be the first to get the support of these people and slaves."
"Father, you think, if you can do this, you can increase the bargaining chips for the unification of my Chu State, and the prince's brother Quanxia will be happy for his father, and cancel the funeral for him, but he will make the greatest contribution to the unification of the world in Chu State."
”
Emperor Chu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, okay, my son is really a unicorn, Xuan'er is reasonable, if the cancellation of human burial is conducive to my Chu State to dominate the world, not to mention your prince and brother, even I am worth it." ”
Then Emperor Chu said to He Fu: "Old dog, copy what Xuan'er just said to me, I should be like this, Xuan'er, what is the name, what is the name you just mentioned!" ”
Xiao Chenxuan almost fell, not to mention plagiarism, he had to change his name! It's too difficult, it's too hard to just want to be a sensual dog. "Why don't you call it "Ten Thoughts of Emperor Jing of Chu"."
You have to shoot a full set of sycophants, Emperor Chu Jing is not the founding emperor of Xiao Jing Chu State. ”
Emperor Chu immediately replied loudly: "Good, good. "No matter what his merits are, if he can't dominate the world, if future generations can remember himself among many kings and princes, but now it's different, as soon as this article comes out, thousands of years later, people will see this article, they will be able to know who Emperor Chu Jing is, and immediately turned back to Julang and said loudly: "Give me a word for word record of the conversation between me and King Anyang for future generations' reference." ”
The living room immediately said seriously: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty." ”
Nima, how shameless Emperor Chu is, this makes him think of his celebrity through the ages, Xiao Chenxuan despises Emperor Chu from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Chenxuan doesn't care about Emperor Chu's current thoughts, he has to solve the problem of human burial first, think about a group of people burying a dead person, and think about his goosebumps.
"Then father, you see, human burial is abolished."
Emperor Chu is now even more satisfied with Xiao Chenxuan, if he can say the benefits of the abolition, he will definitely support him, because of the martyrdom system, he must be supported.
"Xuan'er, you say, I want to hear about it, the abolition of human burials, why did it change to accompanying burials."
Xiao Chenxuan thought for a while and said seriously: "Father, father, you want to abolish the human funeral and replace it with the burial, then there will be a lot of innocent lives to survive, they people, the first one to thank you is you, how many innocent lives do you want to save in thousands of years, just this one, my father can become the emperor of the ages, this is one of them." ”
Second, after the funeral was changed, a special craftsman was set up to make mud model people, and Qin Shi Huang used mud to create terracotta warriors, right, no, it can also solve the problem of eating for some people.
"In the end, the people who accompany the funeral are all their former wives and concubines, serving, father, do you want to bear with it?"
Xiao Chenxuan didn't have a bottom in his heart, but he had to find a reason to send Emperor Chu away. But when Emperor Chu heard the Emperor of the Ages, his eyes lit up, so it doesn't matter what else, it must be abolished.
"Xuan'er is reasonable, in order to save countless lives and die in the funeral, and to find a way to eat for the people, I am right." Nima, that emperor is not for the sake of leaving a name for eternity, otherwise he doesn't care what system you have, and millions of people will die in the war if they start a war, and I don't see them not fighting.
"Old dog, pass on my will early tomorrow morning, abolish the human funeral, and replace it with a burial, so that Shang Shutai must explain that my Chu country loves the people."
Emperor Chu glanced at Xiao Chenxuan again, no wonder those evil beasts wanted to kill Xuan'er, Xuan'er didn't seem to be simple!
Xiao Chenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, how thick-skinned Emperor Chu was, but he finally got Emperor Chu done, and the next thing was to find the Ministry of Rites step by step, if he could get the wreath of the twenty-first century out again, hehe, it was also an innovation.
After getting the Emperor of Chu, Xiao Chenxuan didn't think too much about it, but he proposed to Emperor Chu to abolish the human burial and replace it with a funeral, and within a few days, it spread throughout the streets and alleys of the entire Chu State.
After hearing this, the people in the entire prince's mansion recognized Xiao Chenxuan as their benefactor, especially Xiao Guizi, who told Emperor Chu that he wanted to take care of the prince. I didn't have to accompany the funeral, and I also entered the Ganlu Hall to serve Emperor Chu, and I knew in my heart that if it wasn't for King Anyang, I would have gone to the prince's tomb, and then he would be Xiao Chenxuan's person.
