For a person of Liu Kuan's level, according to the rules, the funeral is destined to be extremely grand. However, the so-called inseparable, no matter what, from the process point of view, it cannot go beyond the scope of the three things of stopping the spirit, mourning, and burial.

As for the specific process, it is actually very ...... Casual, at least very casually in this year.

This is mainly because in the late Later Han Dynasty, the Han people's view of life and death was violently shaken. On the one hand, some people regard death as life, and on the other hand, some people propose that death is like a lamp going out; On the one hand, filial piety is extremely important, and the funeral must be extravagant and grand, and on the other hand, it pays attention to personal demeanor, the so-called Shang Tongtuo.

Therefore, although from the mainstream point of view, the upper limit of the funeral of scholars is very high, but when it comes to individuals, the lower limit is also very low.

For example, Gongsun Xun invited people to drink outside the mourning hall, of course, it did not conform to the rules, but it was very much in line with the customs of scholars in these years, and it was called a beautiful thing. And the scholars and doctors who came to pay their respects in Luozhong were also proud to be able to come here to drink a drink, make a salute and leave.

At the end of the day, it still depends on the person.

As for the final words of some officials, they were also agreed upon during the period of the suspension of the spirit. And the Son of Heaven, as Liu Kuan's student, naturally will not be stingy at this time.

So soon, a series of statements were released, the most important two - posthumously presented to the general of the Che Cai, nicknamed 'Zhaolie'.

The posthumous gift of the general of the chariot is to recognize the facts and merits of Liu Kuan as an auxiliary government of the emperor and courtiers when Tianzi was young; As for the nickname, Roude has the light to say, and the meritorious to calm the people and say the martyr, so the nickname is naturally not bad.

Of course, Gongsun Xun has never worried about this problem, because he knows that Liu Kuan entrusted him with the future, not because he was really worried that something would go wrong after his death.

"Father-in-law." Coming to the door, Gongsun Xun, who was wearing filial piety clothes, saluted again to Zhao Bao, the big farmer who came to mourn, and then asked calmly. "There are so many hangers outside, I don't know why I want to speak in private?"

"I know, so I'll be quick to say it." Zhao Bao whispered with some embarrassment. "Yesterday evening, my brother Zhao Yan went to see me, and he probably meant that if you can ......"

"Is it Zhao Yan who is attached to the eunuch Zhao Zhong?" Gongsun Xun didn't wait for his father-in-law to finish speaking, so he interrupted the other party.

Zhao Bao pursed his lips for a long time, but could only reluctantly nod.

"Then the person who has separated from his father-in-law can still be called a clan brother?" Gongsun Xun continued to ask rhetorically. "Besides, now it is not as good as in the past, Zhao Zhongjin said that the Son of Heaven increased the levy of Tianfu, which caused chaos in Hebei and the Central Plains, and the people were killed and injured, which can be called a national thief, and my friend Sima Shuyi killed himself because of this...... Father-in-law doesn't know, right? ”

Zhao Bao couldn't help but sigh, but he was speechless.

"Your Excellency." Gongsun Xun leaned forward and reminded expressionlessly. "At this time, people all over the world are resentful and want to kill Zhao Zhong to thank the world...... How can you still get Zhao Yan started? You should directly fight with open fire, so that the neighbors on the left and right can see clearly, you are personally beating Zhao Yan, a person who insults the reputation of the clan, out with a stick. ”

"It's me who didn't think about it for a while." His son-in-law taught himself such a lesson, Zhao Bao was inevitably a little breathless, but he was still helpless after all.

"It's not that I'm aggressive, it's not that I'm unsentimental." Seeing this, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but whisper. "But the current situation has really reached the point where the golden cup is drunk together on the surface, and the white knives are mixed in private. It's your father-in-law, you have saved such a clear name over the years, but if you really use the knife, everyone will be red-eyed, and if someone mentions this matter at that time, maybe it will be a way to get into trouble. ”

"It's true that I didn't think it through." Zhao Bao replied helplessly. "He shouldn't have been allowed to enter...... That's it! ”

"Be careful." Gongsun Xun frowned further. "I want to reveal it for my father-in-law. As for the father-in-law, you might as well keep an eye on the body of the Son of Heaven here, and almost make plans early and leave Beijing in time...... As soon as the Son of Heaven died, Luozhong was not the first place of goodness, but the first place of chaos. ”

"Of course I know that." Zhao Bao also frowned. "I'm not a person who doesn't read history, how many years have I been on this road, the Son of Heaven collapsed at a young age, and then the young Son of Heaven lost power, eunuchs, scholars, and relatives met each other with swords and soldiers in Luozhong, and they kept killing in rounds, so naturally they had to have a plan......"

Zhao Bao didn't think so, but when he said this, he was suddenly stunned: "What do you mean, why did you remind me at this time?" Didn't you also resign from Hanoi, won't you go back to Luoyang after Liu Zhaolie's burial this time? Or do you already have a place to go? ”

"Nothing else." Gongsun Xun said calmly. "Before Liu Shi died, he had a suicide note to me, asking me to resign and return to my hometown, study the scriptures with peace of mind, and carefully cultivate virtue...... For a few years, I was not ready to come back here in Luozhong. ”

Zhao Bao was stunned for a moment, and then stared at his son-in-law again: "You want to resign and return to your hometown?" No return for a few years?! ”

"Shouldn't it?" Gongsun Xun pointed to his filial piety clothes and said. "This is Master Liu's last words, as a protégé, I can't refuse, right?"

Zhao Bao was dumbfounded, and opened his mouth several times to speak, but he was still speechless after all, and after a while, he could only bow his head reluctantly: "You can do it yourself!" ”

In other words, he had to go straight away.

"Your Excellency!" Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his voice and shouted in the back. "The day after tomorrow, when the day of Liu Shi's suspension is full, I will bring the coffins of my teacher and his wife out of the funeral together in the morning, and go to the bottom of Wangwu Mountain in Hedong for burial...... At that time, I hope that my father-in-law will come and drink some wine like this today. ”

Zhao Bao flicked down his sleeves far away in response to reply, and left directly angrily.

The next day, Liu Kuan's funeral day was full, and he officially went out of the funeral, headed by Gongsun Xun, with Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Yue, and Luozhong Liu Kuan's own protégés and former officials, personally helping the spirit out of the city. Liu Song also went out of the city early in the morning, and according to his father's last words, he lifted his mother's coffin from Beibi Mountain and met on the side of the road. The Son of Heaven even issued an order, not only for a one-day holiday with Luozhong officials, but also to send the Huangmen Jian Shuo to lead the Tiger Ben Army to open the road for twenty years, and escort the coffin straight to the east of the river.

Because there is a day off, and because Gongsun Xun said in advance that Liu Shi is not a school person, and he prefers to drink, so if someone in the mourning hall is not drunk enough to drink that day, then Meng Jin will still have a drink to say goodbye, only to say goodbye to sadness at that time, only to be drunk. Therefore, the important ministers of Luozhong, the relatives and friends of celebrities and celebrities sent each other along the way without any burden...... In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Kuan and his wife stopped on the bank of the Yellow River north of Luoyang.

Meng Jin was full of wine for a while, and it was even rumored that Gongsun Xun sold all the Luoyang properties this time, leaving only one courtyard...... It is said that he got together a thousand gold, and all of them changed their drinks in Luoyang.

Liu Kuan has repeatedly waited for the cabinet, and he has been an important minister of the Han family for decades, and Gongsun Xun, who presided over the funeral, is also a general of Wei and the marquis of Ji, so there are countless dignitaries and dignitaries who came this time.

As for the open space in front of the Silent Righteous House, all of them were momentary figures.

The generals He Jin, Sikong Yuan Kui, Situ Cui Lie, the right car cavalry general Zhu Jun, the Sili lieutenant Zhang Wen, the tiger Ben Zhonglang general Yuan Shu, the servant Yang Biao, Taichang Zhang Yan, the great Si Nong Zhao Bao, Zongzheng Liu Yan...... The three princes and nine qing, except for one Yang Ci, whose body is really bad, the rest are all present.

Not only that, Yuan Shao, a famous and unemployed model in the world, Dong Zhuo, who may be used recently, Lu Zhi, who lost his official position and was reinstated as Shangshu, Liu Yu, a Guanglu doctor who had just resigned from Shangshuling, Wang Yun, who was imprisoned twice before and finally released from prison and became a general, and Liu Biao and Kong Rong, who were also only generals' subordinates but were famous, were also specially listed.

There are even some official positions, but the actual reputation of the shooting captain Lu Bu and the tun cavalry captain Xu Rong, also sat here because of the old reasons.

In short, if you don't consider this funeral ceremony, it can be regarded as an alternative group of heroes.

Everyone led their henchmen and children to sit down, and the wine was also sent one after another, and the surrounding distance was already full of wine, and they drank it directly, but no one opened the bottle here...... Because everyone knows in their hearts that General Wei Gongsun Xun must have words to say goodbye.

In fact, when I was on the road today, there were already rumors that Gongsun Xun vaguely wanted to keep filial piety for his teacher and returned to his hometown to study.

However, at this time, he seemed to have to pass another hurdle - everyone could see clearly that another mentor of this Wei general, Shangshu Lu Zhi, had already entered the righteous house and went to say goodbye to his drinking friend Gu Zhiwen Huangong.

Lu Zhi came alone, entered the Yishe Hall under the leadership of Lu Fan, bowed slightly towards the coffins of Liu Kuan and his wife, and then stood silent.

Standing beside him, Gongsun Xun, who was dressed in filial piety, was expressionless, but he just shook his hand and let Liu Song, Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, and Fu Xie, who were guarding in front of the spirit, go out, and Lu Ziheng also guarded the door of the hall knowing the opportunity.

"Do you know why I didn't go to pay my respects before, and why I only have this gift today?" As soon as the person left, Lu Zhi turned his head to look at Gongsun Xun.

"The students probably know something." Gongsun Xun said thoughtfully and frankly. "Master Lu, you said a long time ago, the world is difficult, you should take the festival funeral as the top, if you die one day, dig three feet into the ground, close your clothes and bury you...... In addition, Master Lu and Master Liu are close friends with each other, and I am afraid that there are many words of understanding after drinking, and there has been an agreement for a long time. ”

"Not bad." Lu Zhi stared at his student and said proudly. "People die like lamps go out, the dead are gone, they are in their hearts, and the living should be the ...... for the living."

"What the teacher means is that because I loved wine before my death, I spent all my money today in exchange for a thousand people to get drunk, which is actually a luxury?" Gongsun Xun was still expressionless, just folded his hands and asked.

"That's what it means." Lu Zhi replied frankly. "But the deceased is gone, and the drinks have been bought, and you have a filial piety, and I have nothing to say. Moreover, in today's world, we can only talk about leading by example, but we can't force people to do it. Therefore, I do not mean to be harsh on today's events, but I hope that one day after I die, you will remember what you have just said. ”

Gongsun Xun reluctantly bowed and said yes.

The atmosphere between the two also eased a little.

"But leave aside this golden banquet." Lu Zhi sighed, and then questioned in front of his old friend. "There are rumors on the road today that you are not going to get a new job after you bury Wen Huangong, but you will go back to your hometown to study...... Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes." Gongsun Xun replied simply.

"The current situation is not as good as in the past, and the imperial court is employing people......"

"This is En's last wish!" Gongsun Xun suddenly interrupted the other party without any courtesy. "Liu had a letter to me before his death, written in front of his son and my brother, and I have this last word in my heart...... Master Lu can go to the two of them about this matter. ”

"I don't believe it." Lu Zhi was still straight, and then looked at his student condescendingly. "There must be letters, but a person who is a man of literature will certainly not order or interfere in the letter."

"But that's what he meant!" Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his head, his face turned red, and he no longer had the slightest sense of calmness before. "If it weren't for that, how could he die at this time?!"

Lu Zhi was silent for a while.

"This winter, Master Lu has already survived this experience, the spring is getting warmer, he could have lived for another year, if it weren't for the fact that the Son of Heaven has no way and no hope in his heart, how could he abandon this body?" Gongsun Xun became more and more angry, but he couldn't help but be sad and unbearable, and cried for a while. "And if he didn't want to find a joint for me to get out of easily, why would he deliberately drink and die, but let the people around him deliberately hide it from me?"

"The former may have, the latter ...... Maybe it's just going with the flow. Lu Zhi said helplessly.

"So, you admit it?" Gongsun Xun put away his tears and asked sharply. "The situation in the world is difficult, staying in the bureau is futile, but losing morality and dishonesty, Master Liu can help me get out with his life, but what about you, Master Lu? Do you want me to stay and maintain the situation for this unruly person? On that day, I made countless meritorious contributions and had a great future, but at that time you repeatedly suppressed me, and today I got the help of Master Liu, and I could have calmly escaped, even the Son of Heaven could not stop me, but you want me to waste time here...... They are all teachers, why are they one for kindness and one for resentment?! ”

"You've finally got that out of your way." Lu Zhi was not angry when he heard this, but felt a little relieved. "Wen Qi, the virtue of the Han family is not as shallow as you think......"

"It's not as heavy as the teacher said!" Gongsun Xun replied with red eyes and awe. "In this matter, the teacher was blindfolded by selfishness!"

"What selfish am I?" Lu Zhi was finally moved.

"The teacher is jealous of me!" Gongsun Xun suppressed the last trace of emotion leaked on his face, and faced each other proudly. "This is what Master Liu told me in his letter, but he explained it to you at the time......"

Lu Zhi's hands trembled slightly, staring at his students.

"He said that you are both civil and military, and you have both ability and political integrity." Gongsun Xun said awe-inspiringly. "It's like me! However, it was born at the wrong time! If Master Lu was born twenty years earlier, you can be like Gong Qiao, Master Liu, and Yang Ci, who just wants to die quickly, like Yang Ci, who is not here today, and be a famous minister of the Han family with a clear conscience, and leave his name in history after his death! And if you are born 20 years later, you can be like my father-in-law Sun Xun, Cao Mengde, Sun Wentai, Liu Xuande, and Yuan Benchu and Yuan Highway outside the tent, rampant in troubled times, and create a foundation! But you're so pathetic...... There is no chance to compete for hegemony, nor has there been a chance to leave a name in history, and even on the contrary, he actually met today's Xia Wei businessman-like figure, who bends in the middle of the world all day long, and cares about national politics, but he has achieved nothing, and he was even suppressed by Zhao Zhong's incompetent eunuchs and couldn't! Master Lu, dare you say that you are not jealous of me? Aren't you jealous of Master Liu? ”

Lu Zhi clenched his fists, but he was finally speechless.

The student lost his words for a moment and went to his mentor Haihan...... There are countless guests waiting for me outside. Gongsun Xun said angrily, and then calmed down a lot, he knew that he was speechless, so he leaned over and hurried away with Lu Fan, who had already listened stupidly in front of the door.

For a while, in the Yishe Hall, only Lu Zhi and his old friend's coffin were left speechless.
