Chapter 9: The Death of the Nation

There was a quarrel in the palace, and Li Xueru, the head of education, pointed to the other six directors and scolded:

"The king's burial should choose a good day and an auspicious day, how can he come in such a hurry? You're really in vain."

"Lord Li, my king said that everything should be simple, don't make some bells and whistles, don't waste the people and money, this is the king's last wish, we should abide by it." Governor of Foreign Affairs Lyon. Lin An

"It's nonsense, everything is simple and hastily buried are two different things, Leon, don't change the concept. The king has the grace of knowing us, how can we repay him like this," Li Xueru said indignantly

"Master Li, I remember that there is a saying in your hometown, you treat me as a countryman, and I will repay it by a countryman, and it is not an exaggeration to apply this sentence to us. The king said what to do, we should do it" sea rhyme. Wen Qiao said sincerely

"What to do should be ordered by Her Royal Highness the Princess, so we don't need to say more," said Garland. Fengyu looked at everyone and said

"Yes, please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to decide" Fan Niu. The red dragon looked at Gao Yangjun, who was sitting at the door

"Then, let's keep everything simple, other systems require Master Li to ask you to arrange according to Huaxia standards, my father is born as a Chinese person, and he will be a Chinese ghost when he dies." Gao Yangjun looked at Li Xueru

"This, Her Royal Highness the princess, well, okay" Li Xueru also knew that this was the best way, and both parties could be satisfied.

"It's okay, Master Li, you go and arrange it, I'm waiting" Gao Yangjun said

That night, after Li Xueru's explanation, the first thing Gao Yangjun did was to "recover". Fu, that is, to summon spirits. In ancient times, it was believed that people had souls, and when people died, their souls were called ghosts. Therefore, after the first death of a person, in order to verify whether the deceased is really dead, and in order to comfort the surviving person, a spiritualist ritual is performed.

Then the chamberlain took the old king's royal robe, stood in the northwest corner of the highest roof, and shouted three times in a row: Qin Jianguo, come back. The clothes were then thrown into the courtyard, where the people in the courtyard took the clothes in boxes and spread them on top of the corpses. Then the mourning hall was set up and the foundation was laid.

Then came the obituary. The obituary, also going together, means that the family of the deceased tells others that the deceased has passed away and informs them of the date of mourning, so that they can prepare to come to mourn. At the same time, it is also necessary to do a good job of the tablet of the deceased, which is the position. Inscription is a kind of literary style, which was originally engraved on utensils, and the stele was used to warn oneself or describe the words of merit, and the inscription is to make a good tombstone.

The fifth step is to pay tribute to the deceased, which means to give clothes to the deceased.

The sixth step is bathing, where the deceased is cleaned up. However, in some places, there will be an increase in the washing of the mouth. In life, it is inevitable to speak evilly, saying right and wrong, and fearing that the tongue will be cut off by the king of Hades after death, so after death, you must ask the mage to chant for the deceased, and wipe the lips of the deceased with wet paper, which is the mouth washing wish.

The seventh step is the rice containment. Rice is the placement of beads, jade, grain, or coins into the mouth of the deceased. Rice contains two reasons, one is that the deceased cannot bear to eat food again, and the other is to make the cheeks plump and look good: after death, the cheeks will gradually lose weight, and the rice can make the cheeks full. Depending on the status of the deceased, the rice contains different ingredients. King Qin Jianguo's rice contains jade.

The eighth step is to attack. Looking at the glyphs, we can also know that this step is to dress the deceased in underwear, foot wraps, etc. There are three sets of clothes to wear in total, and underwear does not count.

The ninth step is to set weights. Weighting is in fact the same as being remembered.

The tenth step is to collect small. The small burial is also used as a small burial, that is, to put on layers of clothes for the deceased. Then wrap the deceased in a cloth. Then use a cloth to twist it, shrink one, horizontal three, wrapped in a re-jacket.

Because everything is simple, it is very large. On the day after the death of a person (usually three days), the deceased is tied to a knot to prevent the clothes from falling apart, and then the deceased is placed in the coffin.

Finally, there is the ready-to-wear. The dress is also on the third day, and the relatives of the deceased change into mourning clothes, and the clothes and hair accessories have not changed before.

The worst garment was worn by the children of the deceased men. Now Gao Yangjun and An Dao are wearing slashes. Because of my father

Then Li Xueru set up a mourning hall, and one of the indispensable items in the mourning hall was crying and mourning. There are also certain stages of crying and mourning: crying all the time→ crying day and night→ crying back→ crying after Sanyu.

Crying all the time: Crying at any time before the three-day service symbolizes a good relationship with the deceased and inner grief.

Crying day and night: After three days of dressing, you can and must cry in the morning and evening. It's a hard and fast rule, and it has a deeper meaning. If the relatives of the deceased are unfilial and have no tears, then this provision compels him to cry; If the relatives of the deceased are filial, let him not cry at any time so as not to hurt himself.

Anti-crying: anti, return together. After burying the deceased, when he returned home, he lamented that the object was wrong, because he wept because of his feelings.

Sanyu: three worship requiems;

Crying: Stop crying so as not to hurt yourself; At the same time, as the time passes since the death of the deceased, the pain in my heart gradually decreases.

At the gate of the kingdom, people from all over the country came to the king's funeral on their own, and Li Xueru read aloud, "The king of Meimer, Qin Jianguo, was born in Meimer, and was elected as the king because of the protection of the territory and the people." The king should step down from the throne, trembling and sweating like mud. He did not dare to live up to it, and for the past 12 years, he has been trembling for the people and the country, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be governed prosperously. The king died for the sake of the country. I'll send my king."

The people who came from all over knelt down and wept in unison:

"Greetings to my king"

"Greetings to my king"

"Greetings to my king"

"Greetings to my king"

Then make way for the king's coffin to proceed. And they are trailing behind. Until they arrived at the tomb of Queen "Ya", Li Xueru and they placed the king's coffin next to the tomb of the princess.

"King Inmemel, the latitude and the earth; Ethical erudition; mercy and love for the people; Rigidity and softness; into the world; The state is known as "Wen", and the people are in power; Righteousness overcomes; Lile Minggu; Holding on to the full; Accessible and strong; Jingde Bingde; Tao and Wisdom; Ned is pure; Therefore, the nickname is King Wencheng," Li Xueru said

And the queen Memel "Ya" regarded the people as sons; Gentle and forgiving, merciful, virtuous and gentle; Harmony can be that is; benevolence and courtesy; Educate the masses; Kuan Ren Hui is called Wen, so he is called Queen Ciwen. ”

Although the people couldn't understand it, Gao Yangjun and the five of her staff understood, and sighed in their hearts: This nickname is right, Master Li Xueru is indeed capable. After the funeral, everyone was dismissed, and everyone went home.

After the burial, Gao Yangjun began to keep filial piety, because the king asked for simplicity, so Gao Yangjun kept filial piety for seven days. Generally speaking, the actual time of filial piety is 27 months, because it takes 27 months for a mother to breastfeed her child.

"Your Highness, the enthronement ceremony, we will hold it on an auspicious day," Li Xueru stepped forward and said.

"Leave it to Master Li, I don't worry, but this matter can be slowed down. Everyone, please listen to me," Gao Yang Jun said

"Princess, please speak"

"I intend to unify Lithuania. Then change the law to Huaxia, and change the customs," Gao Yangjun said lightly

"Princess, are you serious? But there is a plan" Antao They were shocked, this is something that the first king did not finish until his death, and they almost have no confidence, after all, the princess has been carefree since she was a child. Haven't seen so much wind and rain like they did.

"Really, there's a plan. Lyons. Uncle Lin An, this is what your precious son's brother Yir thought of," Gao Yangjun said with a smile

"What? Iir, although we have known for a long time that Il's nephew is a great talent, but he has not experienced war or anything, is this strategy feasible? The seven were surprised.

"Guys, do you know Il?" Gao Yangjun asked

"Didn't he tell you about his origins?" An Dao asked

"No," Gao Yangjun shook his head

"He was the late military governor, my good brother Joe Lu. Il's son "Lyon. Lin An said

"Uncle Jollo's son?" Gao Yangjun never thought about it

"Let's let Yier come and talk to you, Yier come in, you deceived me so hard" Gao Yangjun looked at Yier at the door

"Excuse me, Princess. I don't want to rely on my father's reputation," Il walked in through the door.

"Uncles, it's been a long time," Ilr smiled as he bowed to them

"Il, you kid, tell me what kind of plan you have" Antao. Memel said

"Everyone, please allow me to speak slowly," Il smiled

"You kid, when did you become like Li Xueru when you spoke?" Fengyu quipped
