The first step is to "bathe", to wash away the earthly soil of the deceased and at the same time clean the body; The second is "Han", which puts a piece of Hanyu in the mouth of the deceased.
Then there is the "attack", put on a clean dress for the deceased, the Son of Heaven, the princes, and the scholars are different, the king of Shu is the princes, and the clothes are also exquisite, and the clothes are worn to be buried.
Stopped for burial, the coffin is placed in the mourning hall, and a number of ice cubes are placed under it, and the cold is pressing; It is also necessary to "set up an inscription", which is to hold a flag and write the name of the deceased.
There is also a suspension weight, the chisel wood is heavy (鬲), the mourning of the princes has six mustaches, each seven feet long, divided into hanging mourning hall courtyards, when the spring official mansion arranges the mourning hall is completed, the princess of Shu Wang, the prince of Shu Chi Shun, the prince of Shu Chi Dan, and the prince of Xidu County Chi Youqi are all dressed in mourning clothes, accept the condolences of the people.
The rest of the family members also ranked second, all dressed in mourning clothes, although they were all white, but according to the weekly rites, they were different.
Zhou rites are divided into "five rites": auspicious rites, fierce rites, military rites, guest rites, and desolate rites, and the fierce rites are the rites of funeral catastrophe, and the mourning clothes worn by family members are divided into five categories according to the different relationships with the deceased, which are for cutting the decline, Qi decay, great merit, small merit, and hemp.
Chop decay is made of coarse linen, the side of the garment and the hem are not sewn, so it is called "chopping decay" (chopping that is, the meaning of not sewing the edge), the son is the father, the unmarried daughter is the father, the wife and concubine are the husband, the minister is the king, and the princes are the son of heaven are all beheaded.
According to the rites, the side room of the princess of Shu and the king of Shu, the sons of Wei Chi Shun, Wei Chi Dan, and Yu Chi Youqi are naturally beheaded, and their wives are also the same, all with sad faces, located in the main hall.
The mourning clothes are inferior to Qi decay, made of cooked linen, because of the sewing edge, it is called "Qi decay", married daughters are parents, and grandchildren are all Qi decay.
According to the rites, the son of Chi Yi, the prince of Zizhong County (the grandson of the king of Shu), as well as the married daughter of Chi Shun, the unmarried daughter of Yu Chi Mingyue, the son of the prince of Yu Chi and the children of the Xidu County Lieutenant Chi Youqi, all of them are in decline.
There are also big merits, small merits, and hemp, the family members and relatives of the Yu Chi family are close and close according to the relationship with the King of Shu, and the mourning clothes they wear are different, and the front of the mourning hall is full of vegetarian and crying.
There is an endless stream of people who come to the door to mourn, and the prime minister, the king of Shu, Chi Yuan, was born all over the world, and now he died suddenly, and people in Yecheng and neighboring states and counties came to mourn.
Although the Shu Wang's Mansion is full of people, the atmosphere is very heavy, and the soldiers outside the mansion are even more depressing.
Compared with the funeral, what is more worrying is the situation, the king of Shu is gone, I am afraid that there will be an undercurrent inside and outside the court, whether the prince of Shu can stabilize the situation is the most concerned issue, and the second is whether he will take action against someone.
Or whether someone will move.
This person, some people think that it is the Son of Heaven, after all, for hundreds of years, there are too many stories of the Son of Heaven and the ministers and their heirs, as far away as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao and Cao Pi, and as close as Emperor Wei and the Prime Minister's father and son.
Wei divided the east and west, and the Eastern Wei Emperor Yu Prime Minister Gao Huan was able to be a puppet in fashion, and after Gao Huan died, he gave up the throne within a few years, and then "died of illness".
Emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty, Prime Minister Yuwentai was still able to sit on the throne at the time, and not long after Yuwentai died, he was still "sick and died" after Zen Rang, so everyone was wondering when this scene would be repeated.
But more people think that this "someone" is another person with the same surname as the Son of Heaven, and if the two sides really want to fight, the situation in the world will really be unpredictable, so the atmosphere in Yecheng is becoming more and more tense.
On the street, a carriage is heading towards the Shu Palace, there is nothing special about its appearance, the entourage is only a few people, it looks like an ordinary convoy, and when the carriage is close to the intersection, the soldiers surround it.
"Whose carriage are you waiting for, it is forbidden to go ahead, please take a detour!"
"General, we are the guards of the Qi Wangfu, and the car behind the Qi Wang, the Qi King and the prince will go to the Shu Wangfu to mourn, and the work will be passed on."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned, looked at the carriage, and a few guards next to it, and didn't know whether to believe it or not for a while, it was too rude to come forward to investigate, if you don't check, where would you dare to believe that at this time, King Qi and the prince dared to come like this.
After the people came to say it again, the leading general returned to God and sent someone to spread the word.
A moment later, the order was given to "let you go immediately", and the general hurriedly asked the soldiers to get out of the way, and the carriage continued to move forward, but the guards were left to chat with the soldiers: "The weather is good today." ā
Looking back at the lonely carriage, the soldiers looked at the lonely guards in front of them, and they didn't look like they had a conspiracy: even if they were to make a sudden attack, they wouldn't be able to make any waves, right?
The news of the Shu Palace, the king of Qi and the prince came alone to mourn, caused a short silence, and when the two people who were dressed in plain white, Yuwenliang and Shiziyu Wenming, walked in, not only the family members but also many guests were stunned.
Is it really not with a guard?
Even more unexpected is yet to come.
"Prime Minister! Nephew Yu Wenliang, with the dog Yu Wenming, kowtow to you! ā
In the bang, Yu Wenliang kowtowed in front of Yu Chi's coffin, just like a son kowtowing to his father, not to mention Wei Chishun and Wei Chidun, even the little uncle on the side didn't know what to do.
It is said that Yu Wenliang does not need to make such a big gift, and it can even be regarded as a faux pas, but they know that what Yu Wenliang said is not wrong.
Yu Wenliang, who kowtowed and bruised his forehead, held the coffin and cried, and now he is not in the identity of the clan, not in the identity of Otsuka Zai, nor in the identity of King Qi, but in the identity of his nephew, crying for his uncle's Wei Chi Yuan.
Yuwenliang's father, Yuwendao, and Yu Chi are cousins, who grew up together in Wuchuan Town, and had a bare-ass friendship, herding sheep and picking up cow dung together, and following the adults of the Yuwen family to fight in the north and south.
The rebellion of the six towns changed the fate of the two families, the four brothers of the Yuwen family, Da Lang, Erlang, and San Lang died one after another, leaving Shilang Yuwentai, leading his nephew Yuwen Dao, Yuwen Hu and nephew Wei Chi Hui, Wei Chi Gang, and his companions from Wuchuan Town to continue to fight until the foundation of the country was laid.
Yuwen Dao and Yu Chi Yuan, both by Yu Wen Tai, the relationship between each other and close, Yu Wen Dao's son Yu Wen Guang, Yu Wen Liang, Yu Wen Yi, Yu Wen Chun, Yu Wen Zhong, and Yu Chi Hui and his wife's son Yu Chi Yi, Yu Chi Kuan and Yu Chi Shun The relationship is also very good.
Yuwen Dao died young, and his sons were taken care of by Wei Chi Yuan, who was an uncle, and the two sides had the family affection of their fathers, and they had the friendship of the same generation, and the relationship between the two families was indeed very close.
It is precisely because of this that Yu Wenliang's nephew (son) Yu Wenwen married Yu Chi Chifan, the daughter of Yu Chi Shun, and the marriage between the two families was not only out of political considerations, but also out of friendship.
The crying was bursting, just like the cuckoo crying blood, even if he had ideas, he couldn't hear the slightest hypocrisy from Yu Wenliang's crying, and the attitude of this person who came alone with his son was already obvious.
Wang, the widow of the King of Shu, held Yu Wenliang's hand and was sad, Yu Chishun, Yu Chi Dan, and Yu Chi Youqi were saddened on the side, and this cry aroused the tears of countless people, and the tears washed away all the conspiracies.
Wei Chi Chifan, whose eyes were red, breathed a sigh of relief, and she was not the only one who breathed a sigh of relief, and many people present had a sense of relief in their hearts:
Amitabha, since King Qi has done this, the situation will not be chaotic!
