After all, Li Yuan still failed to escape the fate of history, and the time of his death was almost the same as in history.

Although Li Yuanji has been taking care of this world, every winter, he will turn on the heating early, and in summer, he will often prepare more ice cubes and cold beer to cool down.

In terms of food, clothing, and housing, all the obligations that should be fulfilled have been fulfilled, and in the mood.

I don't dare to say anything else, at least Li Yuanji can be sure that the current Li Yuan is definitely faster than the same period in history.

But even so, the fate of history has not been changed.

Even when he left, he didn't get to see Li Yuanji for the last time, and he didn't eat a bite of the hot pot he ordered, the cold beer he wanted.

National mourning!

Although the national funeral in later generations was also very grand, it was only a formality, and in fact it did not restrict anything, nor did it conform to the national conditions at that time.

But in ancient times, the state funeral was definitely the most important ceremony, and its importance even exceeded such a major event as the emperor's accession to the throne.

Confucianism has the benefits of Confucianism, and its biggest role is to instill a set of etiquette rules in the people with strong thinking, so that people can know the shame.

If it weren't for the dominance of Confucianism and the fact that the other schools of thought suppressed would not have come out, Li Yuanji would not have put in such great efforts to rectify it.

A state funeral is different from an ordinary funeral, but even if it is an ordinary funeral, there are many rules that bind people.

It is divided into nine aspects, and those who fail to do these will be punished by the government.

They are respectively hidden funeral, mourning and obedience to auspiciousness, funeral fun, acrobatics, mourning marriage, mourning participation in auspicious feasts, parents losing children, parents mourning and seeking office, parents die and lie and do not solve the official funeral.

Tang Lu has already written these into it, which seems to be quite a lot, and it is only two sentences to sum up.

If someone dies within the five costumes, and pretends not to know when they hear the news, they do not mourn, and they wear clothes with festive colors during the mourning period, or they are dressed up, and it is easy to understand that they are happy during the period, and it is also understandable to marry them, and they cannot participate in festive banquets such as wedding banquets, full moon banquets, and birthday banquets.

In addition, if a child is born during the mourning period, the government will deduce the time of pregnancy, and if the pregnancy is carried out before the mourning, there is no punishment, and if the pregnancy is carried out after the mourning begins, the sentence is one year's imprisonment. Those who are unable to participate in the imperial examinations during the mourning period, and who are officials, and whose parents die and falsely claim to have died without dismissing the officials, shall be sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

The mourning period is three years, and this is for ordinary people.

It stands to reason that a national funeral should be the same as an ordinary funeral, but the problem is that the national funeral is the funeral of the royal family, and the royal family has a responsibility for government affairs.

This must be dealt with, three years is too long, and the mourning country will be completely chaotic.

Therefore, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, it was changed to 36 days, although this time was not short, but the possibility of problems was minimized, and since Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the national funeral has been using this new rule.

Of course, Li Yuanji naturally felt that thirty-six days was too long, so he said that the officials of the world would release this sentence in three days.

The national funeral is still 36 days, but if you have an official position, it only takes three days.

In addition, there are still rules, and the ancient state funeral is not just a matter of the emperor's family, but a matter of the whole world.

All the people under his rule must be carried out according to the funeral rites, but it will not take three years, thirty-six days.

And after Li Yuan died, he still had to go through the normal process.

What is rumored that the emperor died, he directly rang the bell 30,000 times, and the bell kept ringing, and the people knew what was going on.

However, the truth is, it is not like this at all.

Regarding the etiquette of the national funeral, Li Yuanji didn't understand it, but the people in the Ministry of Rites did, and let the Ministry of Rites mainly form a national funeral preparation group, which is actually what it means.

And the composition of this group is mainly three provinces and six departments, and now four provinces and six departments.

The first step was not to ring the bell, but to play the book of the Ministry of Rites, requesting the mobilization of the forbidden army to martial law the capital.

What kind of bell ringing or something, that's what all the temples in the world have to do, and every temple has to ring the bell 30,000 times, as for the reason, the devil knows.

There are many etiquette rules for national funerals, but these are not things that Li Yuanji has to worry about.

The forbidden army outside the door quietly changed a group of people, not only people, but also the clothes on their bodies.

The army has three sets of clothes, two sets of normal clothes for combat and duty, and one set of black ordinary uniforms, which are mainly used for training.

There is red on the regular clothes, so naturally it can't be worn at this time, so the forbidden army who was resting hurriedly changed into training clothes and went to replace the forbidden army on duty.

The other forbidden troops also changed their shifts and clothes, and when the entire forbidden army changed into black training uniforms, they drove out of the barracks and imposed martial law on Chang'an.

As for the ministers, they also said goodbye at this time, and then hurried home to change their clothes and come again.

Because the official uniforms on the body are more festive clothes.

When a large number of forbidden soldiers dressed in black training uniforms appeared on the streets of Chang'an, and when the theater teahouses were sealed one by one, the people of Chang'an realized that something big had happened.

There is no need for people to explain too much, if there are conditions, all of them hurry home and change their clothes, and if they don't, they wear their clothes backwards.

Of course, these refer to those who have bright colors on their bodies, ordinary people, dressed in green clothes, who don't need to change at all.

Businesses stopped, construction sites stopped, and it seemed like everything in the world had stopped.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Yuanji also changed into a white dress, and the concubines, princes and grandchildren followed Li Yuanji one by one.

"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared, and the Emperor Taishang can be buried tomorrow, but ...... this matter of martyrdom?" Fang Xuanling is also a member of the national funeral preparation team.

The Ministry of Rites is busy taking care of the overall situation, and some details can only be handed over to others.

They can be the master of all links, but only this person is martyred, and they can't be the master.

Human martyrdom means the burial of the living, which is a scene that can often be seen in the tombs of emperors in the past, but in fact, since the Tang Dynasty, it is rare to see the existence of human martyrdom.

The large-scale reduction was seen occasionally after the Han Dynasty and in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, but not regularly.

The so-called martyrdom, in fact, does not need to be on such a large scale now, it is nothing more than to bury the personal eunuchs and palace maids around them, and some will also take away the concubines they like.

"There is no need for people to be martyred, the first emperor is generous and benevolent, and he must not like these." Li Yuanji shook his head and directly denied the martyrdom.

As a later generation, he absolutely cannot accept this rule, people cannot be resurrected after death, and what is the reason for taking the living to accompany the burial?

Isn't this highlighting the brutality of an era? I am paying attention to people-oriented, but I am still doing brutal things, how can this be counted?

"How's the terracotta warriors ready?" Li Yuanji continued to ask.

He had never considered the matter of martyrdom, but no matter what, Li Yuan was also an emperor, so how could there be no one around to serve?

So Li Yuanji remembered some things from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, so he planned to do this.

If you can't use it, it's still okay to make some terracotta warriors and horses, and again, the terracotta warriors and horses can also be used for archaeology in the future, after all, the urine nature of future generations, Li Yuanji is still very clear.

"Preparations are underway, a battalion of the forbidden army, a battalion of field troops, a battalion of ordinary troops, a battalion of mixed artillery, a regiment of cavalry, a regiment of infantry, a total of seven battalions, nearly seven thousand terracotta warriors. However, if you want to complete it all, it is estimated that it will take three months at the earliest. Fang Xuanling said.

This workload is not small, and it was only after Li Yuanji's death that Li Yuanji mentioned this matter, and now he has just begun to prepare.

The only good thing is that there is a section of railway that can be used, which allows them to quickly transfer all the craftsmen around Changluo to participate in this matter.

The production of terracotta warriors and horses is not difficult, into a pi, firing, coloring, three steps can be.

The most difficult of these were the cavalry and infantry regiments.

Because this is completely in accordance with the establishment before the reform, these two regiments are not the current regiment, but the regiment before the reform, and one regiment has about 500 people.

But they are wearing armor, unlike other terracotta warriors, and there is no need to depict the intricacies of armor.

"Well, there's no hurry!" Li Yuanji nodded.

The terracotta warriors belong to the burial pit, so there is no need to bury them at the same time, and there is nothing wrong with a little later.

Nearly 7,000 pieces, this scale should be about the same as the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang.

Even, Li Yuanji is beginning to think about whether after the end of this national funeral, he also began to make some terracotta warriors and horses to prepare?

You don't need too many people, after all, you're still young, just keep a team of 100 people, just keep doing it, so that when you die, how can you have a scale of tens of thousands, right?

Although he became the emperor, in fact, Li Yuanji still had an urge to make a big news in his heart.

Well, it's off-topic, Li Yuanji thinks it's better to wait for this incident to pass and see how much it costs before making a decision.

If it doesn't cost money, you can prepare it first, and if it costs money, then forget it, after all, I'm a thrift, and I don't have so much money to do this now.

In addition to the terracotta warriors, all other things are ready, the officials who have already resumed work will also stop work for a day tomorrow, and the entire imperial court will participate in the burial ceremony, this scale naturally needs not be said, otherwise how can it be called a national funeral?

Li Yuan is still like in history, called Emperor Taiwu, the temple name is Gaozu, buried in the Xianling Mausoleum, and is buried with Queen Dou.

No matter what the process is, this ending is still the same, and Li Yuan's life has come to an end.
