Chapter 2: The Underworld
Today, Concubine Liu was buried, and Yang Su was on the mourning hall that day, and she decided to bury Concubine Liu with the ceremony of the Queen Mother. The royal family, nobles, and hundreds of officials all came to the funeral, and there was a precedent for Xiao Ming to be promoted to Dali Siqing with laughter, don't look at the government and the opposition all criticizing Xiao Ming, ridiculing him as a minister, only knowing that he is a gang, flattering and bullying. But they don't know what they think in their hearts.
The huge funeral procession lined up from outside the noon gate to the inner city, for more than ten miles.
At this time, there was a team of brocade guards and forbidden troops in the palace escorting hundreds of carriages out of the palace quietly.
The carriage was piled with bulging bags, and it drove slowly down the street, escorted by the forbidden army in armor, and the brocade guards opened the way. Naturally, no one dared to stop it, and the pedestrians retreated along the way, just standing on the side of the street and looking at the carriage curiously, whispering and guessing what was in the sack on the car.
The escort team was unimpeded all the way, and the elite of the forbidden army and the strong cadres of the brocade guards were selected, and the team of thousands of people did not have the slightest sound during the march, only the dull sound of the wheels kept ringing. Then, when the escort team walked to the gate of the city and was about to leave the city, something suddenly happened.
An old farmer who entered the city carried a large bundle of firewood on his back, and he couldn't dodge in fear, and the firewood on his back scraped the horse next to him, and suddenly startled the horse, and the horse was frightened, and jumped up and suddenly raised his hooves to the old farmer, seeing that the old farmer was about to die and under the horse's hooves.
Jinyiwei Tongzhi Wang Guoxing, who was under the gate of the capital, saw this scene, jumped from the horse to the old farmer, stretched out his hands and grabbed the horse's hooves at once, grabbed the horse's hooves stiffly, and lifted the horse up to save the old farmer.
"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Immediately, the brocade guards arrived to coordinate with the frightened horses under the control of the forbidden army.
"It's just a surprise that Ma Xiu can hurt me!" Wang Guoxing said proudly.
"My lord is worthy of being a true god in the Yi Bone Realm!" Others admired and admired.
Wang Guoxing Shi Ran waved his hand, indicating that he was not worth mentioning.
Just saw that the soldiers of the forbidden army were angry and wanted to take down the old peasant, so they hurriedly stopped him and said, "Let him go!" The official was on the side to see him retreat and startle the horses, he didn't mean to! ”
"But my lord, he rushed into the forbidden army, and according to General Huang's military law, anyone who obstructs the army will be punished for any reason! According to the law, he should be taken down and questioned! The Forbidden Army soldier hesitated.
The forbidden army and the Jinyi guard are not the same system, and the collision with the forbidden army also shocked the horse! He didn't dare to take matters into his own hands and let the old farmer go.
"General Huang is really disciplined, but the military law that General Huang said was just a special act when the forbidden army was fighting, and now it is just escorting grain and grass to Xincheng, and there is no need to strictly enforce military law so strictly!" Wang Guoxing did not force the forbidden army to release people because of his high position, but persuaded him with good words.
Seeing that the soldiers of the forbidden army were still hesitating, looking at the old peasant with a pale face and a miserable face, Wang Guoxing spoke again
"It's okay, I'm in charge of this escort, you just listen to my orders! If General Huang is investigated later, I will be punished with you! Besides, the emperor has always loved the people like a son, how can he punish the people for this, the emperor is still like this, how can we not set an example! ”
When the soldiers of the forbidden army heard this, they finally chose to release them, and Wang Guoxing personally picked up the firewood and handed it to the old farmer.
When the old farmer left with only his gratitude, Wang Guoxing turned around and looked at the sacks that had fallen to the ground because the horses jumped up in fright.
Wang Guoxing greeted the soldiers of the forbidden army and the Jinyi guard, and ordered: "The team behind continues to go out of the city, and when everyone moves, let's immediately reload all the food on the ground!" Hurry up and get on the road, the emperor ordered me to wait for two days to reach the new city, and I must travel fifty miles every day! Fast! ”
A group of soldiers hurriedly went up, quickly reloaded the sacks that were still intact, and borrowed brooms to collect the grain scattered on the ground and put it into the sacks. Follow the team in front of you and continue to escort you.
There were many people at the gate of the city, but this scene fell into the eyes of many people, and as soon as the team escorting the food left the city, some people in the crowd immediately left in a panic.
……
In the imperial mausoleum on the other side, the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is not like other dynasties, the imperial mausoleum not only did not dig the mountain and build, or set up a suspicious tomb, but built together in the open, and also built the city wall palace on the ground, and kept the sacrifice, so the Ming Dynasty would send the offender palace people to guard the tomb from time to time.
The Ming Dynasty can have such self-confidence, all from Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang reigned when the gods and Buddhas were changed, and the Three Realms did not dare to fight with it, and there were vassal kings leading troops to guard the margins, and there was a household registration system based on the foundation of eternity, such as the military household system that made Zhu Yuanzhang proud of not abolishing the imperial court to support millions of soldiers, and it was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty god system, which overpowered Taoism and the Heavenly Palace.
In this way, the royal family naturally retains the drawings of various imperial tombs, and at this moment, the underground palace of Wanli's imperial tombs has been opened. The rest of the people may still be afraid that the underground Wanli Emperor will be unhappy, but Yang Su has long known that the Yin Dragon Court of the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, and the heroic spirit of the Wanli Emperor has long been extinguished, so he naturally has no scruples.
This matter is on the Tao Law manifestation, the heroic spirit exists, the first emperor to store the coffin of Concubine Liu, naturally only Yang Su personally went, Yang Su took the queen of the two palaces and some royal nobles to enter the underground palace first, and then there were guards carrying the coffin of Concubine Liu was slowly carried into the tomb, ready to be put together with the coffin of Emperor Wanli.
I saw that there was a coffin bed built with white marble in the middle of the Dingling underground palace, and the two side halls had a corridor to communicate with the middle hall. There are 3 white marble pedestals in the nave, and the five offerings and everlasting lamps of the emperor and empress are placed.
When the underground palace was opened, the ever-bright lamp was still on, the lamp oil in the lamp was not simple, and Wanli was only buried for decades, and naturally it was not extinguished, but the five offerings placed on the stage had been broken.
These five offerings are the five kinds of utensils used to place the offerings, and only Yang Su and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces went down to the underground palace, as well as the royal family of the Zongren Mansion, and the younger brother of Concubine Liu, and the rest of the people naturally did not dare to look at it at will, only Yang Su found out about this situation.
The five offerings were broken undoubtedly because the heroic spirit of Emperor Wanli was dead, and if others saw it, it would definitely have to rise again once it was spread.
Without a trace, Yang Su commanded everyone to continue walking into the depths of the apse.
The apse is the largest hall in the underground palace, and the coffin bed in the hall is placed in the center of the coffin bed of the Wanli Emperor and the two queens.
Yang Su commanded the coffin to be placed in a position that had been designed, and led everyone to confess to Emperor Wanli and the other two queens, and then slowly withdrew from the underground palace, and then asked people to seal the underground palace again.
It can be regarded as completing the idea of Concubine Liu being born and dying in the same cave, but after Yang Su and the others left the underground palace, the soul that was supposed to dissipate for Concubine Liu suddenly condensed into a ghost.
Yang Su did not prepare for Concubine Liu's feminine spirit to transform her soul into a ghost after death, because considering that the Ming Dynasty's Yin World Dragon Court had been shattered, and Concubine Liu had nowhere to go after her death, it was better for her soul to dissipate for a hundred and no longer suffer from such torture.
But I never thought that Zhang Yan had a sincere affection for Concubine Liu, and even sprinkled the Sanguang Divine Water in order for Concubine Liu's soul to be transformed into a ghost.
I saw that the ghost of Concubine Liu gradually took shape in the coffin, and it was constantly condensed to see the appearance clearly, as if she was not awake, suddenly a door was opened in the underground palace and the ghost of Concubine Liu was summoned.
Through the door, you can see the gloomy palace behind the door, which is in ruins and ruins.
