Yang Huairen ordered someone to nail the coffin, and waited for the attendant to come and deliver the decree and order them to leave the palace.

The funeral was held in Chongde Palace, I don't know if the identity of the Empress Dowager Gao is special, or if the funeral of people like her is such a rule.

In Yang Huairen's opinion, the whole funeral did not look like a funeral, but it was like a ritual of sacrifice or blessing.

The hall was wrapped in white linen cloth like ice and snow, all white, and even the beams were wrapped several times.

In this white and a little creepy environment, there are monks chanting scriptures, there are Taoist priests, and there are also people who make masks with the appearance of fierce ghosts and wear them on their faces and dance in circles, and they don't know what dry grass they catch in their hands and bundle them together, and after they are lit, they dance like a sword, and the hall is full of fireworks.

There were also a lot of people kneeling in the hall, both men and women, and it was impossible to tell whether it was an official or a relative of which family in the fog, and there were too many people wearing linen and filial piety, all of whom were wiping their tears, but they didn't squeeze out a few tears in their eyes, and their eyelids were wiped with burlap.

The rows of people kneeling in front of them were really teary-eyed, but they didn't look like they were sad, but they were more like they were choking on the smoke and wiping their tears.

The two people in the front row are Zhao Xu and Zhao Hao's uncle and nephew, the two of them are kneeling like that, and they can't see each other's communication, maybe silence means everything at this time.

When the various mages finished reciting the scriptures and completing the Fa, and there was no procedure to commemorate the deceased Empress Dowager Gao, a white-haired husband of the celebrant sang a word that he couldn't hear clearly, and the people below cried loudly, and then sang another sentence, and the people below cried again.

just sang and cried for dozens of rounds, and then shouted "return to the mountain".

This means that the funeral is about to be held, so Yang Huairen ordered people to dare to take the carriage and pull the huge coffin and start walking outside the palace.

The musicians in the palace began to play and sing, and the tune did not sound sad at all to Yang Huairen, but the rhythm was bright, and it was easy for people to shake their bodies unconsciously.

In fact, this is not contradictory, the Song Dynasty paid attention to joy and mourning, especially for people with high status, relatives and friends were tired of crying after grief, and when they came out of the funeral, they should use some festive or joyful music to send each other, which can be regarded as wishful thinking blessings for the deceased to live a happy life after arriving in the underworld.

Ercheng's science stipulates a lot of cumbersome funeral etiquette, but that is for the man who has passed away, even if the woman reaches the status of the Empress Dowager Gao, as soon as Zhao Xu proposes the funeral at sunrise, no one dares to say a word, let alone the disrespectful law of the official family.

Ercheng, the two old masters, used to be so beautiful, but now they are still at home to retire? It shows that even if the two of them stand on the high position of science and morality, they are afraid of the thunderous wrath of a high-spirited emperor.

Seeing the wind making the rudder, at this time, it may not be a derogatory term in their opinion. The higher the status of the person, the more they cherish their feathers, when they are stunned, they just talk about it, and no one will really stand up and make a loud noise.

Seeing that his mother's coffin was pulled and began to walk in the direction of the palace gate, only Zhao Hao's cry became heartbreaking, Yang Huairen was a little unbearable, but when he saw the indifferent look on Zhao Xu's face, he still didn't stop.

Yang Huairen wanted to tell him that your mother was not dead, but this occasion was not appropriate.

All the way out of the palace, the cry gradually became inaudible, walked out of the palace gate, and greeted the other subordinates holding the flag, Yang Huairen directly ordered to hurry out of the city.

From the palace gate to the west gate, the road out of the city has been cleared by the Kaifeng Prefecture, and pedestrians are not allowed to pass, so they walk on such a street, which looks rare and deserted in the scorching sun.

At that moment, Yang Huairen seemed to have an indescribable illusion, and the prosperity of Tokyo City seemed to be a passing dream.

At noon, the funeral procession walked out of the west gate, and outside the door were some palace people kneeling on the ground to thank Xiao.

It stands to reason that such a thing should be done by filial sons and grandsons, but the status of filial sons and grandsons is too high, and there are special taboos, so they found someone with the same characters as them to replace them.

Out of the city, on the main road, the funeral procession does not have so many etiquette to observe, out of the front row of flags can not be less, the rest of the people should eat food, drink water, everyone is like transporting a cargo.

It's just that when the people passing by encounter such a procession, they always bow slightly to the carriage of the coffin, which is regarded as a tribute to the deceased.

And after expressing their respects, they will stay away, or give way and let the funeral procession pass first.

There was nothing to do all the way, and Yang Huairen began to look back and forth, as if he wanted to find out where Gonggong Ye was hiding.

For a mysterious person like Gonggong Ye, Yang Huairen can always feel that the cold aura on his body is around him, but he can't find where he is hiding, let alone know when he will suddenly jump out and be scary.

But after looking at it for a long time, he still didn't find any trace of him, which made Yang Huairen a little uncomfortable, thinking that he wouldn't really wait for his buddy to transport the old woman's "corpse" to Gong County before you came out to transfer flowers and trees, right?

There is a wait, the carriage transporting the coffin is not fast, from Tokyo City to Gongxian Imperial Mausoleum is nearly 300 miles away, grinding and chirping for three days is not too much.

It's so hot, holding the Empress Dowager Gao in that gorgeous and huge coffin, the person is not dead, I'm afraid that when I get to the place, I will really suffocate to death, and maybe it stinks.

But Father-in-law Ye still didn't appear, Yang Huairen was very strange at first, and then thought about it carefully, Father-in-law Ye must be a fool of everything.

In this funeral procession, most of them were brought by Yang Huairen, of course, there were also a few officials who supervised the burial and eunuchs in the palace who came out of the palace.

The reason why Ye Gonggong did not appear during the day should be because he was afraid that he would appear too suddenly, and so many people would see him, but it would expose his plan to steal the beams and change the pillars.

At sunset, the funeral procession marched to Zhongmu County, and all the officials in the county and the yamen went out of the city to greet them.

Yang Huairen didn't have anything to say to them, just a few simple polite words, and was arranged to eat and rest in the official post in Zhongmu County.

Because of the slow walking along the way, the official road is lined with green willows, and although the weather is hot, people can't say that they are very tired.

After dinner, Yang Huairen yawned and said that he was tired. The officials of the Ministry of Rites made this trip, and naturally only Yang Huairen, the county grandfather, was the first to look forward.

The master said that he was tired, so he went back to rest, and this was a funeral job, and no one had the leisure to say some irrelevant nonsense.

After these officials and palace people all said goodbye and returned to their rooms, Yang Huairen suddenly came to his senses again, called a few brothers to come, and began to whisper something.
