Chapter 629: The Funeral of the Son of Heaven

(Brothers, it's still updated so late, everyone still votes!!) )

After meeting Ji Bangyue, Wei Wuji's days in Shangluo had some brilliance, and going to the palace every day to wait for lunch to start became the time he was most looking forward to.

It is in this state that the whole wake-up becomes interesting, and time begins to grow relatively fast.

In this way, the time came to the 18th day of April in the 12th year of King Zhao of Zhou (the 16th year of the Marquis of Wei), and the time for the funeral of the Son of Heaven arrived.

And Wei Wuji and the other envoys no longer had to live in the cold mourning hall, which made them have a little smile on their faces at this time when they should have been very sad.

Although the Zhou Dynasty is now in decline, the pomp and circumstance of the Son of Heaven's funeral is still huge, and it is no different from the specifications when the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world two hundred years ago.

It's just that if the current Zhou Room wants to maintain this scale, it must be able to bear it with the strength of the whole country.

Wang Jun was all dispatched to follow and escort the entire funeral procession, plus various honor guards and celebrants, the entire funeral procession was nearly 30,000 people.

And Wei Wuji himself was in the middle of this procession, and around him were the messengers of the nations who came to pay for the funeral, and they all followed the Son of Heaven's Zigong on horseback.

Someone once joked that there were two most beautiful times in Zhou Tianzi's life, one was the enthronement ceremony when he succeeded to the throne, and the other was the funeral ceremony in front of Wei Wuji.

In Wei Wuji's opinion, it is completely unnecessary to waste limited national strength on a dead man, not to mention that the Zhou room at this time is no longer what it used to be.

But he still underestimated the extravagance of the Zhou family, and when Wei Wuji really saw the huge underground palace of the Son of Heaven, he really realized what it meant to be an emperor.

The cemetery within a radius of more than ten miles really taught Wei Wuji a lesson, it turned out that the place where a person's bones were buried could really be so big.

Sitting upright on his horse and looking at the various rituals that were going on in the distance, Wei Wuji couldn't help but sigh: "Today, I really have a lot of knowledge!" ”

Originally, he should have said this sentence, but at this time, a voice sounded in Wei Wuji's ears and said: "If you had seen the other cemeteries of the Son of Heaven in the Zhou Room, you wouldn't be so emotional!" ”

Wei Wuji turned his head to look and found that it was Xiong Jun, the prince of Chu, who was speaking. Since that time when the two broke up, they haven't even spoken.

At this time, there was a person talking together, of course Wei Wuji would not raise the bar, so he asked calmly: "Why is this, could it be that the other Son of Heaven Cemetery is even bigger?" ”

Xiong Jun nodded, and then said, "According to Zhou Li, the Son of Heaven Cemetery is five miles long from east to west and four miles from north to south...... Eighteen miles of the week! ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Jun couldn't help but point to the cemetery in front of him and said, "See for yourself, is this cemetery eighteen miles wide?" ”

Although he couldn't measure it accurately, Wei Wuji could still make a rough estimate that the cemetery in front of him was not as big as Xiong Jun said.

So, Wei Wuji couldn't help but sigh: "The power of the whole country can't maintain the dignity of the Son of Heaven, this week is ......."

Wei Wuji didn't continue to say the rest of the words, and Xiong Jun also understood what he meant.

Then Xiong Jun continued: "You are wrong again, it's not that the Zhou Room can't maintain the dignity of the Son of Heaven, but that some people are unwilling to maintain this dignity......"

Wei Wuji couldn't help but be interested, and asked, "Who?" ”

Xiong Jun pointed forward and said, "Of course it's the one in front, the new Son of Heaven!" ”

"Ji Zhao, the son of heaven, was seriously ill and couldn't see the matter, but Ji Xiao, who was still the prince, began to control the court situation and announced the will to reduce the size of the royal tomb!" Xiong Jun said calmly.

The story suddenly turned around, and it was actually the meaning of the new Son of Heaven Ji Xiao that made the scale of the royal tomb reduced.

Wei Wuji couldn't help but look at the new Son of Heaven in front of him, only to see that the other party's face was deep at this time, making it impossible to see why.

"It seems that the prince Xiao at the beginning has to be impressed now!" Wei Wuji sighed.

Over the years, not only has he grown, but Xiong Jun in front of him is growing up like Ji Xiao, and even Tian Yuwen, who is far away in Linzi, will grow up after this defeat.

At this time, Wei Wuji couldn't help but say: "It seems that this new son of heaven still has expectations for the Zhongxing Zhou Room!" ”

The meaning of Wei Wuji's words was his disdain for the new Son of Heaven, and now there is still a chance for the Zhou Room to turn the tables.

Sure enough, I heard Xiong Jun sneer: "If he can turn things around with just him, then the water of the big river has to flow backwards!" ”

Wei Wuji couldn't help laughing, this Prince Chu is also direct enough, but now he is in the land of the Zhou Chamber.

But after thinking about it, Wei Wuji also felt that it was normal, and now that the Chu State sent troops to attack Wei, it was not directly through the Zhou Chamber.

The army of Chu came and went in the Zhou room, just like entering their own courtyard, and naturally had no reverence for the Zhou room.

At this time, Wei Wuji also felt a little unfair in his heart, and everyone in the world said that Wei was a tiger and a wolf, and did not respect the Zhou family...... But in fact, it was the people of Chu who repeatedly ran rampant in the Zhou room.

Xiong Jun didn't expect Wei Wuji to have so many thoughts, so he listened to him continue at this time: "In this world, after all, it is the big country that has the final say, in my opinion, ......."

When he said this, Xiong Jun actually turned around in a rare way, and said to Wei Wuji very formally: "Maybe in the next ten or even twenty years, it will be you and me who will dominate the ups and downs of the world!" ”

Wei Wuji couldn't help but be stunned, and then wondered how this person could compliment himself......

But looking at Xiong Jun's serious face, he realized that the other party was not joking, and the other party really looked up to himself.

At this time, Wei Wuji was a little embarrassed, and only listened to him: "You are the prince of Chu State, and you will have a place for you in the future, but I am not necessarily!" ”

Xiong Jun was stunned when he said this, and then he sighed that the person in front of him was indeed not the rampaging prince of Wei three years ago.

"Your brothers are all incompetent...... The only one who has some skills is the one in the Xiangping camp, but in my opinion, he is not your opponent of Wu Yangjun! Xiong Jun said casually.

Wei Wuji couldn't help but be a little speechless, today's Xiong Jun was a little abnormal, and even made him think that this guy had taken the wrong medicine.

In fact, Xiong Jun has not said some things, and he admires Wei Wuji's achievements in the north.

Xiong Jun thought to himself that he and Wei Wuji could not do better than Wei Wuji, or must not have done better than him.

Wei Wuji didn't think about these things at this time, as a native of Wei, he should now maintain the dignity of Wei.

I heard him say in a deep voice: "Prince of Chu, how is my brother, please be careful...... The prince can also come out of his mouth! ”

Wei Wuji's words were a threat, but Xiong Jun didn't care about it, because he thought to himself that he couldn't be mistaken.

At this time, the lengthy funeral ceremony also ended here, and the Zigong of Ji Zhao, the Son of Heaven, was also slowly moved to the underground palace.

The era of Ji Zhao, the son of heaven who reigned for twelve years, will also end with the closure of the underground palace.

But for the whole world, the era of the Five Kingdoms fighting for hegemony will still continue, and there will be no change due to the death of the Son of Heaven.

This world is the era of the strong after all, which is also the reason why Xiong Jun dares to speak up about the general trend of the world and disdains the Zhou room.
