Chapter 55: The Wake of the Spirit

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to stop Wei Zhongxian, who was leading the way in front, and Wang An, who had already returned from the Ministry of Rites, immediately greeted him, and guided Zhu Youxiao, Ren Hongfei and Zhu Huiyuan to walk in, and came to the door of Renshou Palace, where Wang An stood sideways outside the door.

Zhu Youxiao, Ren Hongfei, and Zhu Huiyuan stepped forward quickly, and after crying in front of Emperor Wanli's coffin for a while, they spontaneously knelt beside Zhu Changluo.

Ren Hongfei raised his hands, covered his face with his sleeves, and rubbed his eyes and sockets vigorously with one hand, looking sad and abnormal from a distance, his eyes were red and swollen, otherwise there was no way, because he really couldn't shed any tears.

Because Zhu Changluo, the nominal father, was not favored and treated by Wanli, he didn't even have a good impression of him and Zhu Youxiao, the two so-called imperial grandsons.

Ren Hongfei can only ask this titular grandfather to say goodbye and meet him during the New Year, and Wanli can't even see a smiling face when he meets, he always has a face like a face, so he has no feelings for this so-called imperial grandfather, and to put it bluntly, he is not even familiar with his face, and he is not as familiar as the eunuch who changes the meal every three days.

He died, and there was really no sense of sadness and nostalgia, so how could he cry?

Ren Hongfei secretly glanced at Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Huiyuan next to him from his sleeve, and they were the same, rubbing their eyes vigorously.

Ren Hongfei almost laughed, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his sleeves.

After a long time, there was a commotion outside the door, Wang An walked in and whispered in Zhu Changluo's ear, Zhu Changluo nodded and said, "Well, wait a little longer, and wait for all the aunts to arrive." ”

Concubine Zheng immediately stood up and bowed and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the ancestral training, the slave family should retire." As he spoke, he walked a few more steps, knelt in front of the Wanli coffin, kowtowed three times, shed a few tears, and then left.

Zhu Changluo looked at Concubine Zheng Guifei's back and said lightly: "Concubine Zheng Guifei walks slowly, and the palace can't be sent far." ”

Zheng Guifei had just stepped out of the door and suddenly paused, and a chill appeared in her heart, and from Zhu Changluo's seemingly bland words, she vaguely heard a cold needle.

Zheng Guifei slowly walked to the gate of the Qianqing Palace, a group of Emperor Wanli's concubines were gathered there, all chattering and complaining about Han Benyong and Liu Wei who were blocking the way.

Although Wanli is dead, the residual power accumulated by Zheng Guifei over the years still can't be dispersed immediately, the corners of Zheng Guifei's mouth twitched, and she seemed to be very disdainful of them, and slowly lowered her head to pass through, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were close to her followed and left.

After a while, Wang An came out and led them in one by one according to the dignity of his status, and then sent them out.

According to the rules of the royal family, except for the queen, the rest of the concubines can only leave immediately after worshipping.

Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun has only one queen in his life, but it is not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Changluo's mother, Zhu Changluo's mother Xiaojing Empress Wang, her queen is her grandson Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, that is, the Emperor of the Apocalypse posthumously named her queen.

Zhu Yijun's queen is called Sister Wang Xi, that is, Empress Xiaoduanxian, her full name is: Xiaoduanzhenkezhuang Huirenming and Empress Tianyu Shengxian.

This Sister Wang Xi is Zhu Yijun's original partner, and she is also the only queen who was personally canonized by Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong during his reign of 48 years.

In the first month of the fifth year of Wanli, the Empress Dowager Chen of Rensheng and the Empress Dowager Li of Cisheng issued an edict to hold a draft for Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong, and Wang Xijie was selected.

In the first month of the sixth year of Wanli, Wang Xijie, who was only thirteen years old, and Zhu Yijun officially held a wedding ceremony and was canonized as the queen, that is to say, Wanli was only sixteen years old.

Sister Wang Xi in the tenth year of Wanli, that is, the fourth year after the marriage gave birth to the eldest daughter of the princess Rongchang Princess Zhu Xuanyuan, when she was pregnant, the Empress Dowager Li and Mingshenzong respectively ordered to send internal officials to Wutai Mountain and Wudang Mountain to pray for heirs, and then failed to give birth again due to repeated miscarriages.

Later, in the twenty-first year of Wanli in the "fight for the country" incident, Mingshenzong refused the minister's request to canonize the eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince on the grounds that Wang Xijie was still in her prime and might give birth to a son-in-law, and it was not until the twenty-sixth year of Wanli that Mingshenzong issued an edict to officially canonize the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo as the crown prince.

After Sister Wang Xi became the queen, she acted prudently, filial piety to her mother-in-law and filial piety to the Empress Dowager Li, and won her favor, the Empress Dowager Li was Zhu Yijun's mother-in-law, and when Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong was the prince, he encountered crises several times, and Sister Wang Xi protected him many times.

In April of the 48th year of Wanli, that is, four months before Zhu Yijun's death, Wang Xijie died after taking medicine for many years of hard work, and was nicknamed Queen Xiaoduan.

Although the queen failed to give birth to a son for Wanli, Wanli has always respected her very much, Sister Wang Xi is kind and filial, and never jealous, although Zheng Guifei was favored by Wanli, but did not show the slightest dissatisfaction and complaint in front of Wanli.

Therefore, for her funeral, Zhu Yijun strictly ordered the Ministry of Rites to bury her, and the Ministry of Rites referred to the funeral of Empress Xiaolie Fang, the grandfather of Ming Shizong, and was buried in Dingling.

The six dragons and three phoenixes that accompany Wang Xijie to be buried in the Dingling Tomb are 35.5 centimeters high, and the diameter of the crown is about 20 centimeters. The dragon is all made of gold, and the phoenix is made of emerald technology. The crown is decorated with three dragons, and before the three dragons, the middle layer is three emerald phoenixes. The remaining three dragons are decorated in the middle of the back of the crown. The lower layer of the crown is decorated with large and small beaded flowers, and there are sideburns in the left and right directions behind the crown, and there are three fans on the left and right. The whole phoenix crown is inlaid with 128 gems (including 71 rubies and 51 sapphires), and 5,449 pearls are decorated.

In addition, Sister Wang Xi in Dingling also has a crown of three dragons and two phoenixes, so I won't introduce much.

From this funeral phoenix crown alone, it can be seen that Wanli respects and treats Sister Wang Xi, these two phoenix crowns are very beautiful, and interested friends can take a look at Baidu.

Finally, Sister Wang Xi's father is called Wang Wei, the former deputy envoy of the Wensi Institute under the Ministry of Industry, it sounds like a lot of fame, but it is actually just a positive nine products, because Sister Wang Xi became the queen and was directly named Yongnian Bo, it seems that the father is noble with his daughter, and this kind of thing is still much easier than ten years of cold windows and broken armor in a hundred battles!

As the saying goes, the phoenix that is matched is not as good as a chicken, and every concubine who comes forward to worship is sad, sad and weeping, and sad, because the pillar they are leaning on has fallen. From then on, it is said that the good thing is the widow of the first emperor, and the bad thing is the fish on the sticky board, and if you want to braise it, you can braise it, and if you want to steam it, you can steam it.

When all the concubines finished worshipping one by one, and it was already dusk and approaching evening, Zhu Changluo instructed Wang An to summon Wei Zhongxian and bring his daughter Zhu Huiyuan back to Ciqing Palace, while Zhu Youxiao and Ren Hongfei stayed behind and continued to guard with him.

According to the ancestral precepts and conventions, the princess and Gege are also not allowed to keep the spirit, and they must leave the mourning hall immediately when the sun goes down.
