"Zhu Xin, King of Jin Jian, enter the palace to offer condolences,"

"Suyi King Zhu Jin, enter the palace to offer condolences,"

"Qinghui King Zhu Mofang, enter the temple to pay respects,"

“……”

With the sonorous voice of the eunuch with a tragic voice, the hereditary vassal kings of the capital who had already arrived entered the main hall one by one and worshiped the coffin containing the body of Longqing.

In the center of the main hall, there are things to commemorate Longqing on several feasts, the white Anshen silk is hung all over the whole hall, and the tall inscription is written with "Daxing Emperor Zigong" several vigorous characters, everything, it looks so solemn and solemn.

These princes and county kings who rushed to the capital from their respective vassals, perhaps in this life, except for their own fathers and mothers, may be one of the few who can hear their full names, and more often, these people can't even remember their own names.

These people are naturally all descendants of the Zhu family, and some of the vassals are the Taizu family that Zhu Yuanzhang sealed out back then, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so many years down until now, the people who come here, some according to their generation, are taller than the Longqing Emperor who is lying in the coffin now, but since the emperor died, he came to pay his respects, and naturally there was no scene of not kneeling or crying.

Even though many of them are princes and county kings Yu Longqing have never met at all, but since the emperor has died and you are here, it is natural to behave better.

But some people have no feelings for Longqing at all, and next to them, the prince, the queen, and the concubine are all looking at it, and they can't cry at all, which is very disrespectful, and don't look at this is the emperor's mourning hall, these people know very well in their hearts, and there must be someone staring at it secretly, which is not an unreasonable thing in the extremely developed Ming Dynasty, which is extremely developed in the secret service.

Today's crown prince Zhu Yijun is filial to Emperor Longqing, this matter is well known to all the vassal kings in the world, in case Zhu Yijun becomes the emperor in the future, they have no reason to use this matter to find trouble for them.

But don't worry, it's been almost two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor doesn't know how many have died.

At the beginning, the method was very primitive, kneeling there and secretly pinching the thigh, but this trick was not too effective, sometimes those who had no heart and lungs to the extreme, or those who were very happy that the emperor died, the thighs were pinched and bloody, and they couldn't shed tears.

It doesn't matter, there is another trick, before entering the hall, apply some prepared ginger water on the eyelids, and go in to ensure that the tears flow more and faster than anyone's eyes, and now with the popularity of chili peppers in the land of China, the "crime" tools of these vassal kings have also been updated, but there are really advantages and disadvantages to applying chili pepper water, and there are definitely more tears from chili peppers than ginger, which can show your loyalty and grief as a vassal king.

But the chili water is too domineering, after many people use it, to ensure that for a long time, the eyes are all red and red, some accidentally get the chili water into the eyes, that kneeling on the hall, but it is not just as simple as tears, the screams are louder than the sound of killing pigs, people can't help but wonder, the capital is not forbidden to slaughter during this time, how can such a sound be heard now.

In short, there is such a scene in the hall now, although the Longqing Emperor who died is not a Ming monarch who has made great achievements, but there are really many people who come to "cry".

When the emperor was buried, the prince and the queens and concubines of the late emperor all wore plain clothes and came to the palace to pay their respects.

Zhu Yijun, who was dressed in white, knelt beside Longqing's coffin, a little silent, occasionally raised his head, and looked coldly at these imperial uncles who came to cry and mourn his father, last night, Zhang Fan talked a lot between him, and it also made Zhu Yijun understand a lot of things, although Zhang Fan mentioned this kind of scene, but Zhang Fan never did, and he didn't dare to say anything clearly, but Zhu Yijun still understood a lot.

He knew that these people came here and made such a gesture, almost all of them were coy, Emperor Jiajing had only a few sons, and a Zhu Zaiyuan survived, ascended the throne and became the emperor, except for the Longqing Emperor, almost all the other sons died.

And Longqing himself gave birth to several princes and princesses, but among the princes, there were two brothers, Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yiyi, and the others all died young.

The vassal king who really has a direct relationship with Longqing has no relationship at all, since there is no such relationship, how can the royal family be so kind.

However, Zhu Yijun just looked at it coldly, and he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, after all, he was also born into a royal family, and now if he thinks about it from a different angle, or if a vassal king dies, he will be sad, or pretend to cry, but if he wants to say whether he will be sad in his heart, even Zhu Yijun himself is not sure.

Anyway, even if these guys pretended to be, they wouldn't get any benefit, so Zhu Yijun went with them.

These princes and county kings who came to pay their respects, after leaving a lot of tears in Longqing's coffin, naturally wanted to come here to say a few words, but now, almost all of them are dealing with the queen alone, first, she is soft and easy to talk; And after all, she is the queen of honor, and even if these people want to entangle, they can't do it.

As for Concubine Li, she is completely the same as his son, bowing her head and not speaking, unless someone comes over, she will raise her head, nod slightly, and whisper a few words in return.

And Zhu Yijun was silent, and he didn't pay attention to anyone at all, and after suffering a few losses, no one came to disturb him.

There was such a "lively" scene inside the main hall, and the same was true outside the main hall.

The emperor's funeral is not only a matter of the imperial family, but also the busyness of being a courtier.

However, what is busy at this time as a courtier is still just a word "crying".

The emperor's funeral, the civil and military officials in Beijing, and the civil and military officials' families If there are more than three grades of the emperor's wife, the official is dressed in plain clothes, and the lady is wearing mourning clothes, these people, these days, morning and evening, all have to enter the palace through the Xihua Gate, come to the door of the emperor's coffin outside the main hall, kneel here and cry.

It's a physical job, and whether you're sincere or not, you have to make a show now, and there's no privilege that exempts anyone from this collective activity.

If so, if there are those seventy or eighty in the team, or the wife who is the wife of the Decree is also a couple in their seventies and eighties, it will be almost fatal, crying and crying, because they can't stand on their knees for so long and faint, I don't know how many people have fainted.

But there is no way, the palace is naturally prepared by the imperial doctor to deal with this kind of scene, if after being healed by the imperial doctor, you feel that you are still "old and strong", you can go to kneel for a few more days without problems, then you have to continue to kneel.

Therefore, this time is often the time for the doctors to make a good amount of extra money, besides, Jinyiwei or Dongchang don't bother much about this matter, after all, even if you have money, you have to be seventy or eighty years old, and at that age, some small problems are not all normal.

Therefore, many people are rejoicing that Longqing is really at the right time for his death, choosing this late spring, the weather is just right for lukewarm, and the rain in the sky is much less.

At this time, Zhang Fan was in this team, last night was the last night he accompanied Zhu Yijun to keep the spirit, for Zhu Yijun to keep the spirit for Longqing, but he asked Zhang Fan to accompany him, this matter was not too regular, but Zhu Yijun didn't say anything, even Queen Wang and Li Guifei didn't say anything against it, and who else could say anything.

Zhang Fan didn't even go home early this morning, so he ate something casually in the palace, and came here to kneel, originally he didn't need to come, after all, so many vassal kings and county lords entered Beijing, and he, the commander of the brocade guard, naturally had to be responsible for a lot of things, such as guards, investigations and other things, but Zhang Fan still came, because his wife Ru Xue also came here to kneel.

I forgot to say that Ru Xue was just a fourth-grade Mrs. Fate, and she didn't need to come here to suffer, but at the beginning of this year, I don't know if it was Longqing or Zhu Yijun's idea, but always Ru Xue was also "promoted", and Mrs. Edict did not follow the rules, so Ru Xue was promoted two levels in a row this time, and was directly promoted to the second grade, because she was also going to kneel here.

This sooner or later really made Zhang Fan feel a little distressed, but when he saw Ru Xue's filial piety clothes, he was also suppressed.

As the saying goes, "A man should be pretty, and he should be dressed in soap; Women should be pretty, three points of filial piety", this sentence now seems to be really not bad at all, as soon as Ru Xue put it on, Zhang Fan was really bright-eyed, and he was a little nostalgic.

He couldn't help but think that if he could still see ...... in the future, "Phew," Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but smack his mouth in his heart, if Ru Xue still wants to wear this, isn't this cursing herself.

In short, this is such a scene now, crying inside the hall, and there is no ambiguity outside the hall.

However, when the tears fell, there were naturally people who did not match inside and outside, almost all the people in the hall were like this, and these courtiers outside the hall were naturally no exception.

There are so many people who fake crying.

The most typical one is the high arch, now the high arch can be regarded as a spring breeze, and was personally awarded by Longqing to the minister of Gu Ming, which means that his power in the future, such a wonderful future, how can the high arch still cry, fortunately, the ministers are kneeling together, unlike in the hall, who can see it without care.

In short, Longqing's funeral continued in such a scene, but then again, what emperor was not like this,
